Starting as a Grandmaster, all of my cultivation techniques are at max level.

Back in the Jinwang Hall of the Imperial Palace, Xia Jin stood before a huge map of the Eastern Region, seemingly lost in thought.

Among the seven kingdoms of the Eastern Regions, in terms of territory and national strength, Great Xia, while not at the very bottom, is certainly among the least powerful.

As for the top sects in the Eastern Region, such as the Jade Balance Sect, which Lin Xiao mentioned before being killed by Xia Jin, their mountain bases are mostly located in the most powerful countries, Yuehua and Beiji, and their relationships with the royal families of the two countries are intricate and mutually supportive.

"If Great Xia wants to rise, swallowing up the neighboring countries of Dayuan and Fenglin is the first step." Xia Jin's gaze fell on the two neighboring countries to the west and south of Great Xia. "But if we act rashly, countries like Yuehua and Beiji will definitely not sit idly by. The sects that depend on them will also be troublesome."

Xia Jin downed the wine in her hand in one gulp, then a cold glint flashed in her eyes: "It seems that we must first thoroughly muddy the waters of the Eastern Region. Only when those high and mighty nations and sects are too preoccupied to attend to other matters will Great Xia have a chance."

Just as he was deep in thought, familiar footsteps sounded outside the hall. Then, a slightly effeminate figure silently entered the hall.

"Master." The person who came was none other than Eunuch Wei.

Xia Jin withdrew her gaze, turned to look at Eunuch Wei, and a smile appeared on her face.

"Little Wei, how's the matter I asked you to handle going?" As she spoke, Xia Jin walked over and sat down on the armchair next to her.

"Don't worry, Master. During this time, with the help of Master Su's Hehuan Sect, I have secretly gathered all the Jianghu forces within the Great Xia territory." Eunuch Wei stepped forward and carefully filled Xia Jin's wine cup.

"As for those who resisted, they have been 'properly dealt with' by us. Now, the martial world of Great Xia is under my control."

"Hmm! Well done." Xia Jin nodded, her gaze falling on Eunuch Wei.

"Little Wei, you're now at the third level of the Grandmaster realm, right?"

Upon hearing this, Eunuch Wei nodded: "This servant is dull-witted and has made slow progress. I apologize for making you laugh, sir."

"Alright, you don't need to be so modest!" Xia Jin sighed softly. "I know your innate talent. If it weren't for the fact that you've neglected your cultivation these past few years while handling some trivial matters for me, with your talent, you should at least be at the eighth level of the Grandmaster realm by now, and there's even a possibility that you could touch the threshold of the Great Grandmaster realm!"

"Master!" Eunuch Wei shook his head. "If it weren't for you rescuing me from the pile of corpses and teaching me martial arts back then, I would have been nothing but a pile of bones long ago. To be able to follow you and share your burdens is a blessing I have accumulated over many lifetimes."

Xia Jin stood up, patted his shoulder, and a hint of relief flashed in her eyes.

"Alright, let's not dwell on the past. There's something even more important I need you to handle."

Eunuch Wei's expression turned solemn, and he straightened his back ramrod straight: "Sir, please give your orders, and this servant will obey even unto death!"

"Okay." Xia Jin did not withdraw her hand from his shoulder. Instead, a strange true energy containing endless vitality slowly flowed from his palm into Eunuch Wei's body.

"Sir... what's wrong with you...?"

Wei Gonggong was shocked. He felt that wherever that true energy passed, the meridians in his body were being expanded at an astonishing speed, even doubling in size compared to before!

A moment later, Xia Jin withdrew her hand, a few beads of sweat appearing on her forehead.

This is why he gradually came to understand the wondrous uses of the "Nine Revolutions Creation Scripture" after stepping into the Free and Unfettered Heaven Realm—it could transform a cultivator's physique. Moreover, the stronger he became, the stronger this transformative power became.

Perhaps when I cultivate the Nine Revolutions Creation Scripture to its peak, I might even be able to transform an ordinary person into a martial arts genius that is one in a hundred years.

"With your natural talent and the meridians I've expanded for you, I believe it won't be long before your cultivation advances by leaps and bounds, and reaching the Grandmaster level won't be difficult," Xia Jin said calmly, looking at Eunuch Wei.

Feeling the changes within his body, Eunuch Wei took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing his inner excitement: "Master...this servant...this servant...thanks, Master!!"

Xia Jin simply smiled, sat back down in the armchair, and then took out a letter from her bosom and handed it over.

"Master, what is this?" Eunuch Wei took it with both hands, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes.

"Inside is the matter I need you to handle. This matter will not be easy to accomplish, and you are fully responsible for it. Remember, safety comes first. If you encounter any insurmountable difficulties, be sure to notify me, and I will personally intervene."

"Yes! This servant understands!" Eunuch Wei nodded and solemnly put the letter away close to his body.

"Alright, go ahead. Be careful in everything." Xia Jin waved her hand.

"This servant takes his leave. Your Highness, please rest early as well." Eunuch Wei bowed again and withdrew from the Prince Jin's Palace.

......

Outside the Prince Jin's Palace, Eunuch Wei had only walked a short distance from the palace gate when he saw a red figure slowly walking from the other end of the palace path.

The person who arrived was none other than Su Xuanji, the leader of the Hehuan Sect.

Today, she looked completely different from her usual sophisticated style. She had specially changed into a red long dress and put on some light makeup.

Eunuch Wei walked over with a smile. "Sect Leader Su, it's so late. Are you here to see the Prince?"

Su Xuanji was taken aback when she saw Eunuch Wei, then nodded. She hadn't expected to run into him here so late.

Seeing this, Eunuch Wei blinked, leaned closer, and said with a hint of teasing from someone with experience, "Master Su, I've been serving the Prince for so many years, do you know... that at night, apart from guards and servants, no woman has ever been allowed to enter the Prince Jin's Palace?"

"Master Su, this is a rare opportunity, you must... seize it!"

Before Su Xuanji could react, Eunuch Wei smiled and walked behind her, his figure quickly disappearing into the night.

Su Xuanji was left standing there alone. After she understood the implication in Wei Gonggong's words, she felt a sudden burning sensation on her cheeks, and even her ears turned bright red.

Fortunately, the darkness of night concealed her, which made her less nervous.

She subconsciously raised her hand and slapped her burning cheeks hard, took a few deep breaths, spat silently in the direction where Eunuch Wei had disappeared, and forced a defense in a voice only she could hear:

"Bah! What nonsense is this Eunuch Wei spouting..."

"This sect leader...this sect leader only came here to advance to the Grandmaster level! Yes, that's all! Hmph!"
