The Immortal Seeker: Legend of Bronze Mirror-Chapter 437 - 191 Inventory Gains, Saint’s Handwritten Manuscript (Request for Subscription)_2
No matter what, Lao Chen is a very meaningful person.
Xu Qing now sees at a glance that Mr. Chen is a talent essential for the nation, and if the next Minister of Agriculture isn’t Mr. Chen, the Great Yu Dynasty might be in danger of falling!
"Anything you command, sir, I will do my utmost."
Chen Fu nods in satisfaction.
Xu Gongming really is on the right track.
Look at others; the Grand Secretary merely does his best, but he puts in his utmost effort.
Such a promising future this holds!
...
...
Then, naturally, there followed the matter of auditing the assets and lands of the Kong Mansion.
General Yu slowly withdrew his troops and left a thousand soldiers for Chen Fu as a standard for the governor’s military presence, but their provisions had to be managed by Chen Fu himself.
He was the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue and also acting governor of East Mountain Province, handling the army provisions of a thousand soldiers was not a problem for him; this was also the Grand Secretary’s intention.
Not only that, taking advantage of the agricultural off-season in winter, Chen Fu also recruited over ten thousand militia with these thousand official soldiers as the core, thereby indirectly reducing the public security pressure in East Mountain Province. Furthermore, with this militia and a thousand standard soldiers, braving the snow, he quelled small-scale civil unrest. By the end of the year, East Mountain Province had essentially no significant chaos.
Scholars and nobles all received peace.
In suppressing small-scale civil unrest, he also demonstrated the Court’s military power, consolidating the fear and respect for the Court among other scholars and nobles in East Mountain Province.
Naturally, Xu Qing’s strategizing considerably contributed.
During this period, Xu Qing also established a branch of the Recovery Society in East Mountain Province.
In addition, a letter of reply from Mr. Liang arrived.
There was a minor complication concerning the matter of Feng Qintian’s daughter, as her birth time perfectly matched the divination of the Chaotian Temple Master. However, the arrangements for the Court Lady to enter the palace were to happen next year, and the Ministry of Rites could delay it a bit. Even if she entered the capital, they could help take care of her.
Knowing Feng Qintian’s deep love for his daughter, Xu Qing then wrote to Madam, asking Feng Qintian to bring the matter to Jiangning Prefecture and have Madam intervene, hoping to possibly smooth things over through connections.
On another matter, after several complications, the Saint’s Handwritten Manuscript and the Heaven Shaking Bow were finally acquired.
This time the main gains were these two items; others were insignificant.
Xu Qing’s gaze fell on the Saint’s Handwritten Manuscript.
Though called a manuscript, it’s actually bamboo slips, on which the inscriptions are clear, and each ink character carries the immense Yang Gang Qi of the saints.
In fact, within Kong Mansion, there’s a Holy Object whose Yang Gang Qi far surpasses that of this manuscript - it is the Holy Image of the Master.
However, Xu Qing did not take it, but ordered it to be carefully guarded.
During his discussions with Elder Dan Xi about Alchemy, he learned that since the Middle Ages, some Alchemy Masters had experimented with incorporating texts from philosophers into the Pill Furnace to enhance the quality of Elixirs, thereby increasing the chances of Alchemy success.
Note that the more powerful the Elixir, not only are the ingredients difficult to find, but the probability of successful concoction is also very low.
The Old Heavenly Master once mentioned that the Xuantian Ascending Dragon Pill from the Xuantian Dragon Ascension Path could even help peak Martial Arts Grandmasters break through into the Martial Saint Realm.
The necessary celestial and earthly treasures are unimaginable, and the chances for success astronomically low.
Even the Xuantian Dragon Ascension Path had only succeeded twice.
If one has the Saint’s Handwritten Manuscript, it would certainly increase the success of alchemy given adequate materials.
Of course, the Old Heavenly Master wasn’t entirely well-intentioned when bringing this up.
Because the Xuantian Dragon Ascension Path and the Chaotian Temple Master are naturally inseparable.
The news about the Xuantian Ascending Dragon Pill will undoubtedly cause much trouble for the Chaotian Temple Master.
The Old Heavenly Master surely hasn’t only discussed this matter with Xu Qing.
These old folks, none of them are simple.
However, Xu Qing found it strange that with the identity of the Chaotian Temple Master as the State Preceptor, gathering the raw materials for the Elixirs would not be difficult, and the Imperial Family surely had possession of the Saint’s Handwritten Manuscripts.
Why then, has there been no news of the Chaotian Temple Master concocting the Xuantian Ascending Dragon Pill?
He suspected that there might be other mysteries involved.
Xu Qing naturally didn’t intend to use the Saint’s Handwritten Manuscript for Alchemy but planned to study it.
His attention focused on the manuscript, then suddenly, his Divine Soul activated. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮
Before his eyes, the bamboo slips seemed to ignite, and the characters floated up, the immense Yang Gang Qi filling the world before Xu Qing.
This represents the Dao, the principle, the biggest rules between Heaven and Earth.
After a long while, a dragon’s roar echoed in Xu Qing’s mind, awakening him.
Unexpectedly, the saint’s bamboo slips manuscript could elicit such a responsive reaction from his Purple Emperor Meridian and Seven Azure Dragon Constellations.
"The immense Yang Gang Qi here clearly conflicts with my Purple Emperor Meridian and Seven Azure Dragon Constellations, yet subtly, it also harmoniously aligns."
Xu Qing appreciated the profound experiences just now, feeling the immense Yang Gang from the saint’s bamboo slips manuscript, and the profound wisdom of each character deeply touched his soul.
The immense Yang Gang also shared commonalities with the Five Thunders Skill.
Xu Qing seemed to have found the key opportunity for cultivating the Xuantian Visualization Method Taiwei Emperor Meridian.
The Xuantian Visualization Method encompasses three major Emperor Meridians: Ziwei, Taiwei, and Heavenly Market.
As is said, to govern with virtue is like Beichen, situated rightly, and all stars surround it. Ziwei is Beichen, situated in Astrology among the surrounding stars.
Taiwei symbolizes the administrative bodies, belonging to the place where Ziwei exercises its power.
This can be understood as Ziwei being the emperor, Taiwei being the minister.
Heavenly Market symbolizes the marketplace.
Cultivating the three Emperor Meridians is also about spreading the Divine Soul from the core to the surroundings, like the Emperor’s virtue, benefiting all beings.
The sequence of cultivating the three Emperor Meridians also determines the Innate Divine Ability of the Xuantian Visualization Method.
Xu Qing first initiated Ziwei Star as his Lifebound Star, thus awakening the Heavenly Repairing Tribulation Hand as his Innate Divine Ability.
