I just reached the maximum level, and you want me to be a puppet emperor?

Chapter 191 The most powerful family in the Tiance Dynasty! (Subscribe, monthly ticket)

A very important visitor came to the Imperial Capital Xinhuo Battle Academy today.

Even the dean of the Combat Academy, Qu Heng, came to greet him in person, which was a grand occasion.

This visitor was none other than Xia Qing's father, the leader of Lingyan Taoist Sect, Master Wanfeng.

A well-known saint in the Tiance Dynasty, one of the few top alchemists.

No matter which title it is, it can be seen that Master Wanfeng has a very high reputation in the cultivation world.

Especially in the eyes of alchemists, Master Wanfeng is a god-like existence.

In the world of cultivation, who doesn't want to know an alchemist? Master Wanfeng's fame is at its peak in the world of cultivation in the central part of the Tiance Dynasty.

The last time Li Chen went to reorganize the sect alliance of Jiuyuan Holy Land, Master Wanfeng agreed to help, but there was a prerequisite, that is, Li Chen must also reorganize the Zixiao Tiangong Alliance next door, which was in conflict with him.

Now that Li Chen has solved all the problems, True Man Wanfeng will come as promised to help the Northern Army of the Tiance Dynasty to break the formation set up by the strong men of the Snow Eagle Royal Court.

Since they want to help, they must gather in the imperial capital first. Lingyan Taoist Sect where Master Wanfeng is located is not close to the emperor, but not as far as the other saints, so they came to the imperial capital first.

Now he had to wait for the others to come and then head north together, so he decided to visit the Xinhuo Combat Academy and see how his daughter was doing here.

When Xia Qing learned that her father was coming, she was naturally very happy and told the dean about it.

The dean thought that Master Wanfeng was, after all, a powerful saint in the sect, so he had to show the strength of the combat academy, so he organized some elite academy disciples to welcome him.

"Father, this is the library of the academy. You can find any information you want here."

Xia Qing's words were exaggerated, but they were indeed true.

The sect's library is basically filled with various cultivation techniques.

The library of the Battle Academy has everything from astronomy and geography to planting and sculpture.

As the leader of the sect, Master Wanfeng actually looked down on the Battle Academy in the past, thinking that the Battle Academy's model could not produce top-level powerhouses.

The people in the Battle Academy are not fierce enough and their fighting power is not very strong.

But now, he gradually began to understand that the Combat Academy cultivates talents that are useful to the Tiance Dynasty, so that these students can have a skill, be able to support themselves after graduation, and contribute to the prosperity and stability of the country.

The goals of people in a sect are different. Everyone enters a sect in order to reach the highest point and attain the realm of saints.

In this competition mode, it is more cruel.

Every top powerhouse has gone through countless life and death experiences and stepped on the corpses of countless people.

It can be said that everyone has their own heritage, and it’s enough for everyone to understand each other.

Xia Qing led Master Wanfeng into the alchemy branch, her face filled with pride. She seemed to like this place very much.

Especially those students who have graduated, found a job, or have a successful career, come back to express gratitude to their teachers, which makes the teachers here feel a sense of accomplishment.

Xia Qing envied other teachers for having such treatment, and she also wanted to be such a person.

I can understand what it means to have disciples all over the place.

Looking at the dozens of towering buildings in front of him, Xia Qing said, "Father, this is the Alchemy Branch. Look, these buildings are where our students study and practice."

Master Wanfeng looked around, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

He didn't expect that the alchemy branch of the Battle Academy would be so large and well-equipped.

Especially after going in to visit, you will discover the true beauty of the evening breeze.

As for the alchemy furnace of Lingyan Taoist Sect, basically, no matter what kind of elixir you want, you just need to find a good furnace to refine it. There is nothing complicated about it.

There are many kinds of alchemy furnaces here, which are obviously specially made for different elixirs. They will have unexpected effects when refining specific elixirs.

The pill recipes were piled up like a mountain, especially Xia Qing took out some pill recipes that looked very old. These had been lost in the cultivation world and were special pills developed by ancient cultivators.

It records some rare treasures that even Master Wanfeng doesn't recognize.

For some pill recipes, only a Saint can meet the basic conditions for refining.

Even though Lingyan Dao Sect has been collecting pill recipes for so many years, here are concentrated the pill recipes collected from the entire Tiance Dynasty, so you can imagine the number.

Even Wanfeng Zhenren wanted to try making one on the spot after seeing it.

Now it seems that it was the right decision to send my daughter here.

"Are these pills all made by yourselves?" asked Master Wanfeng, pointing at the bottles of pills in the display cabinet.

Xia Qing smiled and nodded, "Yes, father, the students here are very hardworking, and those who can be on the display cabinet are basically the more outstanding students."

"The spiritual fields here, and the rare and exotic herbs planted there, are they all taken care of by you yourselves?" Master Wanfeng asked, pointing at the spiritual fields in the distance.

"These spiritual fields are taken care of by our students themselves. They are involved in every step, from sowing to harvesting. This not only allows them to have a deeper understanding of the growth habits of spiritual herbs, but also cultivates their patience and carefulness." Xia Qing explained.

As a master of alchemy, Master Wanfeng could understand this very well, and he also planted some spiritual herbs himself.

As they chatted, Xia Qing secretly took out a few pills. The appearance of these pills made Master Wanfeng look incredulous.

With the level of alchemy of Master Wanfeng, one can tell at a glance that these are all top-grade elixirs of heavenly quality, without any impurities. Even the textures are so perfect, they are not something that an ordinary alchemist can make.

"Could this also be made by your alchemy branch?" Master Wanfeng said in disbelief.

If Xia Qing said "yes", this guy would definitely be defeated.

But Xia Qing shook her head and said mysteriously: "This was made by His Majesty. His Majesty is a very well-hidden alchemist. Only a few people know about this."

These words were told by Li Sining to Xia Qing, who processed them herself and then relayed them to Master Wanfeng.

When he heard that it was Li Chen who refined it, Master Wanfeng felt much better.

Because in the eyes of every alchemist, this kind of elixir is a treasure that can be collected and will never be given to people to eat.

If the Battle Academy could easily make such elixirs, then Master Wanfeng would definitely doubt his decades of alchemy career.

If Li Chen could practice it, based on Li Chen's terrifying and unreasonable strength, Master Wanfeng could indeed understand it.

As a master of alchemy, Master Wanfeng was full of praise for these pills and praised Li Chen as the best alchemist of the time.

After this experience, a mysterious alchemist who is more powerful than Master Wanfeng will appear in the entire cultivation world.

Every time someone said that Master Wanfeng's alchemy skills were the best in the world, he would mention this mysterious man but would not reveal his name.

But Li Chen couldn’t understand why he had become the best alchemist in the world without even making an elixir once.

He now had another mysterious title in the cultivation world.

The second saint to arrive in the imperial capital was the old man of the Wu family.

Compared to the frivolous state he had when he just broke through, his aura is now much calmer.

The golden tiger-patterned knife on his waist is extremely imposing. Just seeing this knife gives people a very strong sense of oppression.

Even ordinary people, when seeing this knife, feel that it is a magical weapon.

Old Master Wu couldn't let it go because this was the magic sword refined by Li Chen, and there was only one like it in the world.

The reason why he tied it around his waist was that he wanted people to ask about the origin of the knife so that Mr. Wu could brag about it.

What Li Chen bestowed upon us was the supreme honor.

Just ask, in the Tiance Dynasty, how many people can get the treasure bestowed by Li Chen, the Saint-level Emperor.

The greater Li Chen's wisdom and the higher his prestige, the more everything about him is appreciating in value.

The Wu family has been developing in Huju City for generations, often serving as the city lord, and has close ties with the official Tiance Dynasty.

Old Master Wu finally got the opportunity to work for Li Chen. When he heard the summons, he immediately came to the imperial capital.

But Li Chen seemed not to be in the palace, so the eunuch asked him to rest in the imperial capital for a few days and would notify him when Li Chen returned.

Old Master Wu was thinking that he hadn't seen his grandson for a long time, and he wanted to see how Wu Qi was doing and check on his cultivation, so he came to the Ministry of War to find Wu Qi.

When Wu Qi heard the guard say that his grandfather was coming, he naturally ran out of the Ministry of War to greet him in person.

Because the Ministry of War is an important place, outsiders are not allowed to enter at will.
"Grandpa, why didn't you inform me when you came? I could have prepared a welcome for you."

Wu Qi has admired his grandfather very much since he was a child and vowed to become a strong man like his grandfather.

At this stage, Wu Qi actually doesn’t know that his grandfather has already reached the Saint level, and his aunt has become Li Chen’s imperial concubine.

Seeing his grandson so tired but still in good spirits made Grandpa Wu very satisfied.

Grandpa Wu had come here with great difficulty, and Wu Qi was just about to take his grandfather on a tour of the imperial capital when he discovered that the Minister of War was passing by and walking towards this place.

This scared Wu Qi very much. If he was caught being lazy by the Minister of War, all his efforts over the past few days would be in vain.

Just as Wu Qi was about to explain, the Minister of War suddenly greeted Old Master Wu with a sincere smile on his face: "Old Master Wu, it's been a long time since we last met. You are still as elegant as ever, and you look even more majestic and extraordinary!" Hearing this, Old Master Wu also smiled and responded with a cupped hand: "No, no, Lord Minister, you are too kind. You are the pillar of the country, and you are making progress day by day. I admire you very much."

The two of them talked happily, as if they had endless things to say.

The Minister of War was so enthusiastic that he insisted on inviting Mr. Wu to drink to show his hospitality: "Mr. Wu, it's a rare opportunity to meet you today. You must drink a few glasses with me to make it a good time!"

Old Master Wu seemed a little embarrassed. He sighed slightly and explained, "I appreciate your kindness, Lord Shangshu. However, I have come to the imperial capital with an important mission and cannot stay for long. When I return after completing my mission, I will have a drink with you to express my gratitude."

The Minister of War has a keen ability to observe. Perhaps the only person who can make Mr. Wu say that he has a mission is the one who is above him.

Moreover, as the Minister of War, he must be well aware of the military affairs in the north.

Mr. Wu, who is at the Saint level, came here with a mission most likely to go north, so he naturally did not dare to be careless.

Although he was a little disappointed, he nodded in understanding: "If that's the case, then I won't force you. I just hope that the old man will return victorious soon so that we can continue this unfinished joy."

"Thank you for the invitation, Lord Shangshu. When I return to the imperial capital, I will definitely ask you for a drink." Mr. Wu was also very polite.

Wu Qi was dumbfounded. He didn't know how his grandfather knew the Minister of War.

And from what they said, it seemed like they both knew what the other was going to do.

Huh? Why don't I know?

In fact, Mr. Wu and the Minister of War had met at the national celebration dinner.

The Minister of War holds a high position and is definitely qualified to participate.

At this time, the Minister of War noticed Wu Qi next to him and asked, "Who is this?"

Mr. Wu explained proudly, "This is my grandson, who works in the Ministry of War. He is under the care of the Minister."

The Minister of War did not expect that Wu Qi was actually Mr. Wu’s grandson.

After Mr. Wu shows up, the Minister of War will definitely take good care of Wu Qi.

Until now, Wu Qi still doesn't know how strong his background is.

The grandfather who was a saint and the aunt who was a royal concubine had a meal with Li Chen.

These relationships are very strong in the Tiance Dynasty.

In his opinion, all this was done with the help of his good friend Liu Hao.

Liu Hao was simply risking his life.

In this battle of the Northern Army, the Saint Realm of the Snow Eagle Royal Court has been defeated, so the Tiance Dynasty will definitely have to send out Saint Realm soldiers to deal with it.

In addition to Mr. Wu, also invited were Master Wanfeng and Fairy Youlan.

In fact, Mr. Wu was the last saint to come to the imperial capital.

Because Fairy Youlan has never left the imperial capital since she returned there last time.

Every time Li Chen came back from the Queen Mother, Fairy Youlan was always the first to be visited. She has been staying in the harem recently.

Anyway, the affairs of the Tianyan Divine Sect are handled by the acting Sect Master Lingtian, so there is no need for Fairy Youlan at all.

Usually, Fairy Youlan lives as a widow in the backyard, so it would be better for her to come here and serve Li Chen.

When Li Chen strongly asked her to stay, she tactfully agreed and enjoyed it.

The reason why Li Chen is not in the imperial capital now is because Li Si Ning made a breakthrough in his cultivation this morning.

You know, it has been a while since Li Chen left the imperial capital and went to Shanghe City. According to Li Sining's cultivation speed, even if he was a little lazy, he still made progress.

Li Chen thought that it might take some time for him to go to the north, so he might as well take this opportunity to get the materials for Li Si Ning's next stage of training.

Li Chen opened the task panel.

[Limited time mission: Ruins exploration (group).]

[Task requirements: The ancient ruins are a very dangerous place. Please gather at least 3 trustworthy helpers and go to the designated location with them to explore the ruins and find the holy beast egg in the ruins. The time limit is 150 days.]

After calculating the time, the mission location displayed by the system is probably now open, so it's time to form a team and go take a look.

Since the mission has a number requirement, Li Chen just randomly formed a group of three people.

In every sense, Wu Nanzhi is Li Chen's mount, and he will definitely be the first one to be chosen.

Hearing that Li Chen was going out for an adventure, Li Si Ning begged Li Chen to take her out to play.

Li Chen brought Fairy Youlan with him and asked her to take care of Li Si Ning.

This morning, Li Chen and his four companions rode on the Holy Tiger to the mission location.

According to the mission requirements, this ancient relic should be for the cultivators in the Condensation Realm, but this time there were two Saint Realm cultivators and a Saint Realm monster.

The only true challenger to the Condensation Realm is Li Si Ning.

Outside the imperial capital, Li Sining sat on the head of the holy tiger, feeling the constant changes in the surrounding scenery and experiencing the feeling of flying.

Li Sining had never left the imperial capital, let alone explore a dangerous place like this.

She was very excited, and her excitement was evident on her face.

Wu Nanzhi, who was standing next to her, told her all the basic precautions for survival in the wild.

For example, what to do when encountering monsters, which flowers and plants should not be touched, how to detect traps and avoid stepping on mechanisms, etc.

These are all very important survival common sense for ordinary practitioners. If you don’t know these, it is easy to encounter danger in the wild.

Wu Nanzhi is from Huju City and is good at surviving in the wild.

Li Sining was also taking it seriously and trying not to cause trouble for everyone.

This is her first time going out, and she hopes to leave a good impression on Li Chen, so that Li Chen will feel that taking her out will not cause trouble, and then Li Chen will take her out in the future.

This was also Li Chen’s first time to visit ancient ruins, so naturally he wanted to know something about this place.

Fairy Youlan is a sect practitioner who has cultivated from the bottom up to the Saint level, and she is very familiar with these processes.

Li Chen had an in-depth conversation with her and obtained some information from her.

Fairy Youlan told Li Chen information about the ancient ruins while panting.

The so-called ancient ruins are the locations of some ancient forces.

These ancient sects and families all built their bases in relatively hidden places.

Some are hidden in special spaces, some are hidden in inconspicuous cliffs, or even deep underground.

These ancient forces have declined, or for some reason, their forces were destroyed and have been abandoned somewhere.

For example, some ancient sects and ancient families have sparsely populated people, and the last people died accidentally while training outside. Once this place is discovered, a lot of resources can be obtained.

What's more, these ancient forces were destroyed by their enemies, and their enemies would definitely loot these places.

But these places are originally Feng Shui treasures. After thousands or even tens of thousands of years, they will give birth to treasures, waiting for the right people to find them.

If you are luckier, you will find something that your enemies have not looted.

Once you obtain these resources, you will definitely be able to prosper.

These are rare treasures in the cultivation world.

To find these places, unless you have great luck, you can only find them through treasure maps, intelligence slips, etc.

It was also the first time that Li Chen heard that the ancient ruins referred to this. At first, he thought it was an ancient battlefield.

According to Fairy Youlan, the ancient battlefield is extremely dangerous. The laws of heaven and earth have collapsed in some places, and all kinds of demon corpses are rampant, and there are even strange creatures infected by extraterritorial demons.

These things have been devouring each other and practicing for thousands or even tens of thousands of years. You can imagine how dangerous it is, but there are indeed a lot of treasures inside.

Every time an ancient battlefield appears, it causes chaos in the cultivation world.

Moreover, these creatures in the ancient battlefield have all obtained some kind of opportunity to mutate and grow, just like the eight-armed demon bear obtained the dragon essence. As long as it is killed, the dragon essence will explode.

A decent large copy.

After spending half a day on the journey, the group of four finally arrived at the location indicated by the system.

As soon as she arrived nearby, Fairy Youlan sensed a strange aura.

She put on her clothes and murmured, "There's such a strong demonic aura here!"
