Chapter 116: If you don't return home when you are rich and powerful, it's like walking in the night in brocade clothes! Song Chaixin wants to refine the "Yuan Dan"!
Da da da!
After early spring, the weather is moist with rain.

Horse hooves trampled on the official road, splashing mud and sand. Sixteen riders in a row, carrying four luxurious carriages, approached Wutong Mansion.

In the carriage.

Song Chai Xin closed his eyes slightly, breathing in and out, his energy and spirit were full, his shoulders were to the left and right, vaguely, there was a "martial arts aura" affecting reality.

"After more than four years of training, I, the Great Demon Lord, have polished my soul to perfection."

"Normal people who practice the Great Innate will spend ten years developing the Vajra Body, ten years developing the Vajra Eyes, and thirty years developing the Huangting Internal Power, but in the end, most of them fail at the stage of 'seeing the gods'."

"Only a very few people have the chance to obtain a 'Soul Visualization Map', and thus break through the threshold. After decades of contemplation, they finally have the opportunity to fight hard and strive for the third step."

"And I am now"

"If nothing unexpected happens, the accumulation before 'Yuan Dan' has almost been exhausted."

Ever since he condensed the 'Mysterious Body to Subdue Demons' that year, Song Chai Xin has been killing demons with the Aquarius for four years, and countless demons have fallen under his fists. Although he is far inferior to the Lord of the Great Snow Mountain,

However, he also constantly improved his own Xuan-level qualifications, making the 'Great Demon Lord Image' that he was looking at within himself become more solid.

According to what Song Fanjing said before and what Song Chaixin has understood over the past four years.

A Yuandan warrior, if he can make a low-grade elixir, can roam freely in "one prefecture".

Unless something unexpected happens, it will be difficult for a prefecture to rise to the "state level".

For example, Xie Qiaoxuan, who has worked hard all his life, is just spinning in circles.

As for the mid-grade Yuandan, there is a chance to spread the "reputation" in Aquarius State, and there may be a chance to reach the fourth step in the future.

As for the top-grade elixir,

It is extremely difficult to do it unless you are like the Aquarius Gu family, who have devoted all the clan's resources to provide it and have their own talents to be really outstanding.

Qi gathering, martial arts, aptitude, and soul!
Indispensable!

However, looking at Song Chai Xin today.

What he has collected is the 'Demon Hunting Dao Qi', and his martial arts 'Martial Arts Natural Appearance' has been completed, which can be imprinted into Yuan Dan. His aptitude is at the Xuan level, and what his soul visualizes is the image of the 'Great Demon Hunting Lord'!
Except for the aptitude, which has not reached the king body, the other three items have been achieved to perfection!

Such background.
If I can't condense the 'Yuan Dan', that would be unreasonable.

Just as he was thinking to himself.

"Your Excellency, we have arrived at Wutong Mansion." A respectful whisper came from the coachman outside the carriage, bringing Song Chaixin back to his senses and causing a smile to appear on his brows.

"Senior Sister, I told you we will come back."

"Look, isn't it back now?"

Pulling Song Fanjing's cold and delicate hand, I looked at the bustling and bustling city, which got its name from the sycamore trees planted along the streets.
With a silver fish pendant hanging around his waist and wearing the robes of a fifth-rank official, Song Chaixin sighed:
"I haven't been back for a long time."

"I didn't expect that so many years have passed. It really feels like a lifetime ago."

Hearing this, Song Fanjing blinked:

"The position of Wutong Palace Master has been vacant for so many years. I heard that it is because of the fierce competition among all parties. No one is willing to submit to anyone else."

"After the fact that the previous generation of Wutong Mansion's Venerable Bai Qiuyi was a remnant of the Divine Blood Cult was exposed, more than a year later, someone took office, but he was ousted by someone."

"Now you suddenly appear out of nowhere."

"Tell me, will those people in the city who have been planning for several years and those outside who are interested in the position of the Honored One of Wutong Palace be willing to do so?"

It can be said that Song Chai Xin was able to ascend to the position of 'Fifth Rank Palace Master' due to various factors.

Song Fanjing only found out afterwards that Song Chaixin's original backers were the former state lord Pei Nanbei and the current lord of Baiyujing who had returned to the capital.

Before leaving, these two people used their last connections, combined with Song Chaixin's own merits and their own contributions, to gain an opportunity for extraordinary promotion.

After all, Song Fanjing was not a government official, and it was impossible for this position to fall on her.

Therefore, when "slaying demons and eliminating evil", merits were calculated based on the head and characteristics of the demon. Song Fanjing would often severely injure the demons and then hand them over to Song Chaixin to kill them.

Otherwise, even if he had extraordinary talent and unparalleled combat power, he would still be some distance away from being able to compete with true Yuandan geniuses like Qin Changfeng and Gu Fengchun.

Song Fanjing was already very satisfied that the two new giants kept their promise and cleared her name for the sake of the deceased General Aquarius and Lord Pei Nanbei.

As the disaster is over.

Being able to achieve perfection with Song Chai Xin and live in harmony with her is now the thing she most "desires".

The previous time I went to Xie’s house, I was very secretive.

Song Chaixin's maternal grandfather, Xie Qiaoxuan, had many complaints about her. Even when thinking about it now, Song Fanjing still pursed her lips and said nothing.

In fact,
Even though she looked like a pretty girl in her twenties, with picturesque eyebrows and a graceful figure.

After awakening the 'blood of the Snow Fox King', she was born with a coldness mixed with charm, which made people salivate at the sight of her and linger on.

Can,
Song Fanjing finally realized that he was already over 30 years old.

The Song Chaixin in front of him is only twenty-one years old, which is the prime of his life.

For example, the new governor Lan Jingyi, who came from the Duke's Mansion and had a powerful background, couldn't help but want to marry him off to a young noble girl from his own family who was still unmarried.

Even though Song Chai Xin imitated a folk story, he also played out the "Deep Feelings for the Old Sword" in front of many Aquarius geniuses, Yuandan warriors, and even real-life masters.

But Song Fanjing felt that he was alone and could not provide even a little help to Song Chaixin's career and practice.

Even if she has extraordinary talent, how long will it take for her to grow into a real person who can protect him?
The higher you go in cultivation, the harder it is. Each level is a new level. It takes ten years to pass the second level, but if you want to break through from "Yuan Dan" to "Zhen Ren".
But it is undoubtedly a fantasy.

What can I do?

It is nothing more than,
Knowing the 'dilemma' he will face.

But there is no solution.

He could only watch silently while he came to break the deadlock.

Ever since I almost lost everything on Yunluan Mountain, but I caught 'Song Chai Xin'.

Over the past few years, even though his cultivation had advanced by leaps and bounds and had become more and more outstanding than before, Song Fanjing could vaguely realize that his character seemed to have become distorted.

She began to become extremely dependent on Song Chaixin.

It was as if he was all she could see.

She was able to realize this very clearly.

Logically speaking, it is almost impossible for an outstanding person like Song Fanjing to completely rely on one person, and she herself knows this clearly.

but.
In the vast world.

There was nothing that could make her linger on it for even a little while.

People who don't focus on themselves and whose hearts and eyes are filled with him.
Where else can I go? Where can I look?

As if seeing through Song Fanjing's thoughts, Song Chaixin raised his eyelids slightly, smiled mischievously, and stroked the silver hair hanging from her temples:

"Sister, why do you look so worried while talking?"

"Could it be that you are thinking in your heart that now that this calamity is over, when you return to Wutong Mansion, you can hint to me openly or secretly to marry you as soon as possible?"

Hate!

"I'm talking to you about something serious, and you're just joking with me."

"We are all the masters of the palace. If someone sees us, wouldn't it be a joke?"

Song Fanjing rolled his eyes and pinched Song Chaixin.

However, the young man in red grabbed it with his backhand, half jokingly and half seriously, but pretending to grit his teeth in pain and said:
"Why, you have been through all the bloody battles in the past few years. Before you left, we agreed that when you have cleared your name and restored your innocence, and have a chance to stand by my side, you must leave with me."

"Sister Song"

Suddenly, Song Chaixin smiled again, with ill intentions, and hugged Song Fanjing suddenly without warning.

The warm white air gently blew onto the woman's jade-white earrings, making a ding-dong sound and making her small earlobes turn red and hot.
"Don't you want to take my last name 'Song'?"

"Or do you prefer to have the surname 'Song' like Song Yuan, rather than the surname 'Song' of Song Chaixin?"

Song Fanjing was ashamed and annoyed: "Shut your dog mouth and get out!"

It is simply contrary to Tiangang!

It was clearly you who begged and pleaded to take my surname back then, how could you be confusing right and wrong?

“You really are a person like that.”

Song Fanjing snorted and turned his head away, no longer paying attention to the young man in front of him who was smiling with his eyes wide open and a hint of evil and mockery in his smile.

But as she turned her head, the corners of her mouth curled up uncontrollably as the carriage rumbled into Wutong Mansion Road.

At this time, Song Chaixin's low voice also slowly sounded:

"Senior sister, you have collected a lot of demon heads for me in the past four years, adding military merits. You also have a share of the merits for this position of Wutong Mansion Master."

"Your excellence can make Aquarius State hang upside down."

"So there is no need to underestimate yourself. Look at the whole world and see how many people of your generation are there."

"Can I compare with you?"

"As for this Wutong Mansion."

“There’s no need to worry.”

Song Chaixin smiled:

"If I were a natural, top-grade Yuandan, I could move the heavens."

"Old friends from the past, unwilling forces from all sides"

"Who can refuse to obey? Who dares not to obey?"

Hearing these extremely domineering words, Song Fanjing turned his head in surprise:
"Are you ready?"

"Why don't you wait a little longer? After all, you are still young, but once you have established your foundation, it will last forever. If you are not careful." Song Fanjing stared at her with his watery and crystal clear eyes, so charming that it seemed as if a whole field of stars had emerged, which made Song Chaixin laugh again:
"Didn't Senior Sister tell me to get out?"

Watching the woman slowly clench her fists, her bright eyes and white teeth revealed an unfriendly look.

The young man laughed loudly, his eyes as fierce as an eagle. He stopped flirting and stood up, straightened his clothes, and said:
"Aquarius State has met the name 'Wutong Mansion', but this is such a huge Wutong Mansion."

"But no one knows my name."

"Today, I will call upon the half-demon boy who was the leader of the Wutong tree and left his name in the 'Eight Hundred Dao Steps' several years ago."

"Once again, call this mansion, recall that name!"

"gone!"

There were dewdrops on the sycamore trees by the roadside.

Early morning.

The carriage from the state capital drove into Wutong.

Song Chai Xin had just taken his seat when he took office.

Many officials, warriors, prominent families, and wealthy merchants,

I have heard rumors that there is a young genius who has made great achievements in the "Aquarius Demon Disaster".
Arriving at Wutong Mansion, he sat on the throne of 'Mansion Master'!
In an instant, an earthquake occurred in Wutong Prefecture!
The position of the Lord of Wutong Mansion had been vacant for several years. The previous incumbent was overthrown and removed from office before he could even sit firmly on the throne.

It's been such a long time.
Finally, someone has taken over?

Moreover, judging from his appearance, he has a strong background. Otherwise, how could he have been able to parachute in directly amidst the open and secret struggles among various parties?

Although there would be rumors about government appointments beforehand, no one dared to leak or spread rumors about who the specific person was.

As the two sixth-rank officials of Wutong Mansion.

Except for the Lord of the Palace.

Xiang Zhulu from the Demon Hunting Division and Lin Shao from the Military Division, the two sixth-rank Yuandan figures, who once presided over the Song Chai Xin's palace examination, put on their official uniforms and hurried over early in the morning.

According to the rules,

The Lord of the Palace ascends the throne!

All subordinates of a prefecture had to come to see the emperor, after all, a higher-ranking official could crush someone more powerful.

Even the garrisons of the seventh rank in the many large cities under its jurisdiction must submit a "job report".

Otherwise, even if they are deeply rooted and have been operating for many years, making the city like an iron barrel, under the absolute authority.
It's nothing more than a piece of "charge", it can be stripped away at will.

For example, Bai Qiuyi fled in panic that year.

The original garrison commander of Black Mountain City was called in, but the next day he was completely suppressed by the city government with thundering means and was taken to Wutong Prison. Several years have passed today, and it is estimated that the man is already dead.

This is Fu Zun!

In this prefecture, life and death are decided!

Although Da Zhao dominates the northwest, it only has five states. Aquarius State has seven prefectures under its jurisdiction. One can imagine how powerful the prefect of a prefecture is!

It is no exaggeration to say that

It is superior to the orthodox one, and only slightly inferior to the Taoist one!

It is because of his great power that the Lord of the Palace can only serve for a maximum of thirty years, after which he must move to other positions.

But even if one has only worked for 30 years and served as the chief official of a prefecture, there is still a chance to move up a little bit!
Just one more small step forward.

So the status
Not a provincial official.

It is the center of Shenjing!

It can be said that it is a precursor to soaring into the sky!

Wutong, Xie Mansion.

As the 'Demon Turmoil' came to an end.

Once at the Xie Mansion's Winter Festival, in a fight for a place in the Wutong Mansion exam, Xie Qiao, who was known as the "number one prodigy in the Xie Mansion," was defeated by Song Chai Xin. He returned home with a sword on his back.

As the third generation direct descendant in the true sense.

As soon as Xie Qiao came back, he was treated warmly.

At the same time, the clansmen of the Xie family were quite shocked that he had already reached the great innate level and even the Vajra perfection after not seeing him for several years.

The ancestor Xie Qiaoxuan even met him personally and said with emotion:
"After I have met the 'new Lord of the Mansion', I will come back and take a good look at my Xie Mansion's Qilin!"

"Back then, you were defeated by Chai Xin and left for many years. Your father and I were quite worried."

“But now let’s see”

“A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. Traveling ten thousand miles is much better than staying at home and being a complacent frog in a well all your life!”

After saying that, Xie Qiaoxuan straightened his clothes. His hair was black now and he looked vigorous and energetic, without any signs of old age, but he seemed very tired.

Because of the incident concerning Song Chai Xin a few years ago, although the 'Demon Hunting Alliance' could do nothing about him and Song Fanjing.

But it involved Xie Qiaoxuan and the Xie family.

As a result, the families in Wutong Mansion that had old ties with the Xie family became estranged because of this incident, and the Xie family's foundation was also hit.

This time, the new emperor ascended the throne.

Xie Qiaoxuan wanted to see if he could establish some connections so that the Xie family could breathe a sigh of relief.

I saw that the old man looked unhappy.

Xie Qiao, who was participating in the battle of the Great Wall to suppress monsters from Aquarius Palace, was stunned.

Meet the new governor?

that is not.
He remembered that person who was in the state capital, among so many geniuses, still shone brightly.
And he could only sit in the back seat and watch the figure silently.

Suddenly I felt bitter.

Song Chaixin was not the only one who had gone through hardships and bloody battles in the northwest for four years.

Xie Qiao was the same, he had even mastered the sword technique to the point where he was almost at the peak of his artistic conception, and could begin to comprehend the 'natural aspect of martial arts'. He could be said to have both perseverance and talent.

But that's the qualification.

More than a thousand days and nights, but nothing can be done.
Side by side with that person, standing on the same battlefield, we never even met!

Xie Qiao was also feeling somewhat proud.

He didn't want to use the Xie family's connections to establish a relationship with Song Chai Xin.

So until I get home.

He has never met Song Chaixin.

But just because you haven't seen it doesn't mean you haven't heard of it.
From his father, Xie An, the eldest son of Xie Qiaoxuan, he heard some stories about the Xie family, especially about Song Chaixin.
Xie Qiao's face suddenly became wonderful.

Before the Lord of the Palace takes office, no news can be leaked.

Can.
He knows!

Looking at Xie Qiaoxuan who was in a dilemma, he walked out of Xie Mansion.

"This"

After much hesitation.

Xie Qiao still chose to follow.

Wutong, the government office in the prefectural city!
Many warriors and officials gathered together!
They looked at the inner room as if they were looking at the future peak of power and wealth in Wutong Mansion, so they were all very respectful.

When Xie Qiaoxuan came with Xie Qiao
The owner of Qingshui Tower, Patriarch Li, and Patriarch Qiao, who were originally on good terms with the Xie family, all snorted coldly and did not want to say more.

The incident involving Song Chaixin caused a rift in the relationships among the families, and they jointly excluded the Xie family.

Today, all the old friendships have long since vanished.

Everyone arrived early, curious and wanting to meet the new Lord of the Palace and see who he was.

However, some people were dissatisfied and felt that the Lord of Wutong Mansion had such a high status that he could not just appoint anyone to the position.

However.
It was early in the morning, with the sky bright with morning light.

After half a quarter of an hour.
Suddenly, it became gloomy.

Moreover, he called for the "clear air" in the sky to gather towards the government office!

The Lord of the Palace did not see it.

I did see it.
Such a vision!

"This is.!?"

"Is there anyone trying to make Yuan Dan?"

Everyone present here is knowledgeable and can see the mystery at a glance.

But
The lowest quality Yuandan that can bring about strange phenomena must be engraved with "Martial Arts Heavenly Appearance" and start from the middle grade.

Today, the Palace Master ascended the throne. Where did this genius come from? How did he break through the Yuandan? !

unless
When everyone's eyes.

They all gathered behind the curtain of Dao Mansion.

So in an instant,

Including the Wutong giants including the demon hunter Xiang Zhulu and the military chief Lin Shao.

Each and every one of them has a different look in their eyes, extremely wonderful and complex.
