Da Xuan Martial Saint

After many years, meeting Chen Mu again, he couldn't help but feel a wave of emotions in his heart. Memories of the past surged up, and looking at the person in front of him, perhaps now he is the number one martial arts figure in the world. Thinking about it still feels like a dream.

"It's dealt with, so I came back."

Chen Mu responded calmly.

This remark caused both Yan Jingqing and Yu Jiujiang to be slightly taken aback. They both knew what Chen Mu was going to do in Central Prefecture, which was to deal with the Mysterious Mechanism Pavilion and the Blood Hidden Pavilion. Now, these two sects have become Imperial Court Offices, opposing them would be equivalent to opposing the Imperial Court, which seemed like a prolonged struggle.

But now it seems, it was taken up lightly and resolved lightly, settled in just one day. Could it be that the Imperial Court and Chen Mu each took a step back and reached some agreement?

This thought flashed through Yan Jingqing's mind.

Then he heard Chen Mu say: "Yan Master has been a benefactor who recognized and guided me, never forgetting over the years. This trip to Central Prefecture yielded some results. Yan Master can use this item to invigorate qi and blood, loosen the Mysterious Pass, and perhaps gain a chance to breakthrough to Marrow Cleansing."

Saying this, Chen Mu took out a small spiritual object from his sleeve, bright red and resembling a ganoderma, and gently handed it over to Yan Jingqing.

Yan Jingqing had honed his domain and ranks on the Wind Cloud List, enough to attempt a breakthrough to the Marrow Cleansing Realm. The reason for this bottleneck was that he was already over fifty years old, marrow degrading, qi and blood not as vigorous, making it impossible to force open the Mysterious Pass. But nothing is absolute, there are unique Heaven and Earth Spiritual Items that can invigorate qi and blood and recreate opportunities.

The millennium-old blood ganoderma in his hand was one such item.

"This..."

Yan Jingqing was no ordinary person. Seeing the millennium-old blood ganoderma handed by Chen Mu, he naturally recognized what spiritual item it was at first glance. His expression was immediately shocked. This was one of the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Items he had always been trying to find, yet extremely rare, hard even to hear news of for someone in the Blood Exchange Realm over the years, thus his mind gradually faded.

But he didn't expect that today, the item he had sought after appeared so suddenly before him.

"This item is too precious, I fear I dare not accept."

Yan Jingqing looked at the millennium-old blood ganoderma, took a deep breath, years of restraint unable to completely calm him, for this represents a chance for breakthrough to Marrow Cleansing. He is a martial man, who among martial men in the world does not wish to glimpse a higher realm of martial arts?

Moreover, between the Six Viscera Realm and the Marrow Cleansing Realm lies the difference of heaven and earth. Though ranking on the Wind Cloud List, he is far less than a true grandmaster. If he enters the grandmaster realm, he would not be weak among grandmasters, and more importantly, his lifespan would increase greatly, all these values are difficult for him to measure.

"Though precious, it is of no use to me, besides, I have more than one share. Yan Master, accept it."

Chen Mu said to Yan Jingqing.

Hearing Chen Mu's words, Yan Jingqing knew he could not refuse, and he was not a pedantic person, so he accepted the millennium-old blood ganoderma. At the same time, he looked at Chen Mu with emotion and said: "Years apart, things have changed, yet meeting you, I still vividly recall the day at the Inspectorate, now you have reached the pinnacle of martial arts, a true martial saint as you said back then."

Initially, he thought Chen Mu might take over ten years to enter the Wind Cloud List and reach the level comparable to his. However, he underestimated Chen Mu's talent. In more than ten years, he not only surpassed the Wind Cloud List, but the present Chen Mu has even stepped into the Blood Exchange Realm, leading the forefront of martial arts.

"Martial arts have limits, yet the path is endless. I am just a worldly martial man still pursuing the way ahead."

Chen Mu shook his head with little arrogance in his demeanor.

Perhaps in this Da Xuan World, he is invincible, but looking at the Azure Sky Universe, he is still insignificant, let alone the God Realm or terrifying existences like Xunmu; even under the God Realm, there are powerful Divine Under Ninth Rank individuals.

At this point,

Chen Mu shifted his tone and said calmly: "I know Yan Master's lifelong wish is to cultivate oneself, manage family, govern the state and bring peace to the world, now the world is divided into nine, chaos transformed to calm. This is the time for all life to rest and breathe. If Yan Master is willing, you can take this letter from me, travel far to Central Prefecture, enter the cabinet to manage governance, and fulfill your lifelong aspiration."

With that,

He took out a prepared letter from his sleeve.

For him now, the internal arrangements of the Imperial Court are just a matter of thought. Yan Jingqing, having gained the millennium-old blood ganoderma, if he succeeds and enters the Marrow-Cleansing Grandmaster Realm, would indeed have some qualification to govern. After all, the current Central Prefecture court is no longer a monarchy ruling the world, but meritocracy prevails, where capable individuals ascend. His introduction of Yan Jingqing to the cabinet, what heights Yan Jingqing can reach next depend on his own abilities.

"This..."

Yan Jingqing listened to Chen Mu's words, took the letter, and was momentarily stunned.

Currently, in the Cold North Eleven Northern States, the North Garrison Government commands the states and issues orders to counties. He still holds the position of inspector, not promoted. In terms of actual power, it has even declined after the North Garrison controlled Cold North. Compared to ascending the court and entering the cabinet, the difference is like heaven and earth. Even though the current court only controls the Jingji Road region of Eleven States, the position of cabinet ministers is entirely different.
