I'm a body cultivator, so it's normal for me to destroy a star with one punch, right?

Chapter 237 Using the Emperor's Intentions!
"........."

Everyone present was stunned.

Even Qin Jiuzhou, Wang Wu, and Gao Zhankui couldn't help but look at Jiang He... To be honest, they were also surprised by Jiang He's actions!
Murder and kill!
It’s simply heartbreaking!
Seeing the Second Palace Master of the Crimson Lotus Palace roaring angrily, his killing intent chilling, Jiang He couldn't help but frown and said, "Senior, what do you mean by this? I kindly returned the corpses of your Crimson Lotus Palace elders and disciples, and instead of thanking me, you want to kill me? And you even insult me?"

He was furious and said, "If you don't want to redeem me, just say so. Why go through all this trouble?"

Ahhhhh! !! !!

Granny Yinhua was consumed by rage, and with a "whoosh," she spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Shuzi!"

"It's too much to bully others, it's too much to bully others!"

"My Red Lotus Palace will never let you get away with this! I, Yinhua, swear here and now that I will kill you in this lifetime!"

A venomous roar exploded in the air.

Jiang He's expression changed drastically. He stared intently at "Grandma Silver Flower" for a few seconds, then clasped his hands in a fist and said, "Even if the deal falls through, we can still be on good terms. Why did you have to go to such lengths, senior?"

brush!
He turned around and landed directly inside Tianmen Pass.

As soon as he landed on the ground, Jiang He started cursing loudly!
You dog-like thing, you crazy woman!

I kindly returned the bodies of your Red Lotus Palace disciples and elders, and instead of being grateful, you even tried to kill me?
"Although the Grand Palace Master of the Crimson Lotus Palace is dead, this Second Palace Master is no pushover either... With her cultivation at the seventh level of the Fish-Dragon Realm, I am at least no match for her right now!"

A sense of urgency rose in Jiang He's heart.

Moreover, it wasn't just Granny Yinhua, the second palace master of the Red Lotus Palace, who wanted to kill him.
Celestial Saint, Half-Saint, Crimson Blood Lord...

I'm afraid that people from all the major powers would love to eat their own flesh, drink their own blood, and even pull out their own marrow!

"I'm still too weak."

"With my current strength, I should have no problem killing a top-tier Celestial Phenomenon Realm cultivator, but to contend with a Fish-Dragon Realm cultivator... I'm still far from it!"

Martial arts practice.

The gap widens as time goes on.

Those who cultivate "Martial Arts Divine Power" at the Martial Arts Celestial Realm will experience a rapid increase in strength once the divine power is mastered.

The Martial Dao Celestial Realm cultivates the "Martial Dao Dharma Image".

The Fish-Dragon Realm is known as "Fish Leaping Over the Dragon Gate," and people at this level can even be called "Land Immortals," which is certainly not an exaggeration... Upon reaching this level, the true meaning of martial arts, the supernatural powers and Dharma forms cultivated by martial artists, as well as their understanding of heaven and earth, will transform into "Dao Principles"!
The strength of a Fish-Dragon Realm warrior lies in the depth of their understanding of the "Dao".

"The Way"...

It can be considered the prototype of the "Sacred Way Law".

“A mere early-stage Fish-Dragon Realm cultivator can easily annihilate a top-tier Celestial Phenomenon Realm cultivator… With my current strength, facing a true Fish-Dragon Realm cultivator would likely be a nine-out-of-ten chance of death.”

"Ding!"

"Body tempered by cold air, strength increased by 10000 kg."

"Ding!"

"Body tempered by cold air, strength increased by 10000 kg."

"Ding……"

System notifications kept ringing in his mind, and Jiang He couldn't help but sigh, saying—

"Hey!"

"I'm still too weak..."

Outside Tianmen Pass.

The people from various factions quickly withdrew, and Jiang He returned to the Hall of Merit. After waiting for about two hours, the "harvest" was finally tallied up.

"Mr. Jiang, this is the list we have compiled. Please take a look."

The grandmaster in the Hall of Merit was becoming increasingly respectful to Jiang He, even using honorifics when addressing him. Jiang He glanced at the "total" and said, "680 million merits?"

"A dozen or so Celestial Phenomenon Realm cultivators and fifty-odd Celestial Human Realm cultivators are only worth this much?"

"........."

Liu Feng had never seen so many meritorious officials before. He whispered a reminder: "Jiang He, 680 million... that's a lot."

Jiang He: "Last time I killed thirty-five Celestial Realm cultivators and seventy Ninth Rank cultivators, and I earned more than 100 million merit points in total. Are the Celestial Realm cultivators in the Red Lotus Palace really that poor?"

of course.

The 68000 million merits are not the whole story.

For example, Liu Feng left himself a set of Dao weapons and a set of top-grade spiritual weapons, as well as some "elixirs" and "resources" suitable for his use.

of course.

He has not yet redeemed his most valuable possessions, the "Heavenly Shade Grass" and the "Heavenly Wind Water Pearl".

Liu Feng himself can eat the "Tianyin Grass".

He could also use the "Heavenly Wind Water Pearl," but he could only use three to five drops to strengthen his physical body. The reason he didn't switch to "Merit Points" was that he didn't lack resources for the time being.

680 million meritorious service.

Jiang He then gave Liu Feng another 180 million.

But Liu Feng refused to accept it, saying, "Nephew, your uncle has already taken enough. You are following a pure body-refining path, and your cultivation speed is fast. You are even more in need of resources than your uncle. You should keep these merits!"

"Don't say any more, or Uncle will get angry!"

Jiang He was both amused and exasperated, and said, "Then it's 3000 million... Uncle, you have to take the 3000 million merit points, right? You know my situation, earning 3000 million merit points is as easy as eating and drinking."

Liu Feng then accepted the money and said, "Alright, my son and I have survived this ordeal. I'm sure your Uncle Chen, Xiahou Wu, and Zhuo Bufan are very worried. I'll go and let them know we're safe."

With a smug smile on his face, he strode out of the Hall of Merit.

Jiang He chuckled...

To let you know you're safe?
I'm afraid he's just going there to show off.
Jiang He was still very grateful to Liu Feng.

When he was breaking through to the "Martial Arts Celestial Realm" and needed external resources the most, they were willing to give him a few drops of the essence blood of a king-level ferocious beast. Jiang He has always remembered this kindness.

A merit of 650 million is a huge sum of money for any Celestial Realm or even Celestial Phenomenon Realm cultivator.

Jiang He, however, was very dissatisfied.

You should know that a fourth-grade spiritual vein can cost nearly 10 billion.

Even the most basic and lowest-level spiritual vein requires 1000 million merit points, while a second-grade spiritual vein requires 5000 million merit points.

After several battles, one-third of the second-grade spiritual vein inside the Sky Sunset Bow had been "burned." Jiang He estimated that after shooting down seven or eight more Celestial Phenomenon Realm cultivators, the spiritual vein inside would be completely exhausted.

He then spent another 100 million merit points to exchange for two second-grade spiritual veins.

"A second-grade spiritual vein!"

The spirit of the World-Slaying Blade was so excited it almost cried. It trembled and swayed inside the scabbard, saying excitedly, "Thank you, Master! Thank you, Master! Two second-grade spiritual veins are enough to restore one ten-thousandth of my spirituality."

of course.

This is a sound transmission.

Jiang He had already warned Zhan Jiedao to speak as little as possible, especially when there were outsiders present, he had to use telepathy.

Without him.

The value of an imperial weapon is simply too great!

Even if it's a damaged imperial weapon... if it were to be publicized, Jiang He estimated that real "Saint Realm" experts might come looking for trouble.

Jiang He ignored the World-Slaying Blade.

However, the grandmaster in the Hall of Merit couldn't help but glance at the sword on Jiang He's back a few more times, and couldn't help but say, "Mr. Jiang, your sword..."

Jiang He made up a story: "Recently, my sword intent has made a slight breakthrough. My sword was affected by the sword intent and trembled a few times. There's no need to make a fuss."

"........."

Sword intent?
The grandmaster blinked, his face full of admiration!

As expected of Jiang He, who single-handedly stormed the Red Lotus Palace, his martial arts realm is so high.
Just how profound was his sword intent? I couldn't sense even a trace of it, as if he hadn't cultivated sword intent at all...

Is this the legendary state of "returning to simplicity"?
Jiang He added, "By the way, are there any surviving Grade 3 spiritual veins? Give me two."

"Ow!"

The Zankai-tō almost jumped out of its sheath: "Thank you, Master. It's a pity I'm not a woman, otherwise I would definitely repay you with my body to show my gratitude for your nurturing."

Hey!
Jiang He was speechless, and gritted his teeth, saying, "If you say another word, I'll throw you in the toilet right now!"

The World-Slaying Blade immediately shut its mouth.

The grandmaster in the Hall of Merit was startled. He glanced at the vein cautiously, thinking that Jiang He was cursing him. He quickly said, "Mr. Jiang... there is only one third-grade spiritual vein in stock. As for fourth-grade spiritual veins... the Hall of Merit has only listed the price for spiritual veins of this grade. If you want to buy one, you need to go to Minister Qin."

"Then let's get a grade three spiritual vein."

I spent 3 million merits in the Hall of Merit.

Jiang He took the three storage rings containing the "spiritual veins," left the Hall of Merit, and headed straight for Qin Jiuzhou's courtyard.

"Jiang He has arrived?"

Inside Qin Jiuzhou's courtyard, Wang Wu and Gao Zhankui, both half-saints, were also present, along with several other Celestial Realm cultivators from the Great Xia Dynasty. Upon seeing Jiang He, the Celestial Realm cultivators took the initiative to step forward and greet him.

"Hello, seniors."

Jiang He clasped his hands in a respectful greeting, behaving very obediently.

To be honest, Jiang He wasn't very familiar with the various Celestial Realm cultivators of the Great Xia Dynasty... After all, he hadn't been cultivating for very long and hadn't had time to get involved in this level of circles.

However, the celestial phenomena of the Great Xia Dynasty were all too familiar with rivers.

During this period, the river has become famous throughout Tianmen Pass...

Do not!
It should be said that he became famous throughout Kunlun Ruins!
These people didn't know the details of Jiang He's "attack on the Red Lotus Palace," and only assumed that Jiang He did it through "divine intervention."

However, they did know that Jiang He had single-handedly killed two elders of the Heavenly Saint Sect.

without any exaggeration.

Now, this group of Celestial Realm cultivators treats Jiang He as an equal.

One of the Celestial Phenomenon Realm cultivators, who was quite friendly, patted Jiang He on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Why are you calling me senior? Are we that old? I am Shen Wanyun. If you don't mind, just call me Brother Shen!"

Shen Wanyun?
Jiang He's eyes flickered slightly, and he said, "The God of Wealth of the Great Xia Dynasty?"

"Ha ha!"

Shen Wanyun was a middle-aged man with a plump figure. He wore at least twenty storage rings on all ten fingers of his hands. Upon hearing this, he laughed and said, "No, no, I'm very poor. I don't actually have much money."

The several Celestial Realm experts introduced themselves and got to know each other before departing.

As soon as the group of Celestial Realm experts left, the atmosphere in the courtyard immediately became subtle.

Qin Jiuzhou looked over, slammed his hand on the table, and cursed, "Jiang He, you little brat... why did you dare to attack the Red Lotus Palace without permission?"

"what……"

Jiang He was taken aback by Qin Jiuzhou's reaction and cautiously asked, "Seventh Brother... could it be that my unauthorized action has disrupted your plans?"

Qin Jiuzhou said, "The Red Lotus Palace is nothing compared to the Forget-Worry Valley in terms of foundation and power. Our Great Xia will crush it sooner or later... It's fine if you go to attack the Red Lotus Palace and kill a few elders and disciples to vent your anger, but have you thought about what would happen if something happened to you?"

Jiang He blinked.

This……

I really hadn't thought of that.

He corrected him, "Seventh Brother, you've got something wrong. I didn't attack the Red Lotus Palace just to vent my anger; I wanted to destroy it."

Qin Jiuzhou: "..."

Wang Wu: "..."

Gao Zhankui: "..."

Jiang He didn't notice the twitching of the three people's lips. He sighed and said, "I didn't expect that little wench, the Third Palace Master of the Red Lotus Palace, would actually have a Sacred Talisman... Otherwise, the Red Lotus Palace would no longer exist in Kunlun Ruins."

"Ding!"

"Body tempered by cold air, strength increased by 10000 kg."

"Ding!"

"Body tempered by cold air, strength increased by 10000 kg."

"Ding……"

Wang Wu: "..."

Gao Zhankui: "..."

Qin Jiuzhou: "???"

How sensitive are the three powerful individuals?
Jiang He's strength increased by tens of thousands of kilograms in an instant, and his qi and blood became stronger. How could he escape their detection?

Jiang He was startled and exclaimed, "Why are you all looking at me like that?"

Qin Jiuzhou got up, walked over to Jiang He, circled him, looked him up and down, and asked in confusion, "What's wrong with you, kid?"

"Why do I feel..."

"Your power has been increasing?"

"Ding!"

"Body tempered by cold air, strength increased by 10000 kg."

Jiang He truthfully said, "I was surrounded and intercepted by experts from various forces, and I was also hit by a palm strike from the Fish-Dragon Realm expert from Tianyi Mountain. I was seriously injured and fell into a river. Then, I inexplicably ended up in the Weak Water and had a strange encounter in the Tianfeng Canyon on the banks of the Weak Water River."

As for what kind of extraordinary encounter it was...

Qin Jiuzhou didn't ask.

He frowned and said, "You mean that Fish-Dragon Realm expert from Tianyi Mountain struck you with a palm?"

Jiang He: "Yes!"

"it is good!"

Qin Jiuzhou sneered and said, "Seventh Brother will avenge you this grudge..."

He quickly composed himself, pulled Jiang He to Gao Zhankui's side, and said, "Jiang He, let me introduce you. This is Senior Gao Zhankui. He has been stationed in the coastal city for many years and has now reached the realm of a half-saint."

Jiang He quickly clasped his hands in a gesture of respect.

Gao Zhankui laughed and said, "No need for formalities. When Minister Qin went to the coastal city last time, he mentioned you many times, saying that you are the most outstanding genius among the younger generation of our Great Xia. I didn't believe it before, but now it seems that Minister Qin was still being conservative!"

"Senior has given you too much praise."

Jiang He humbly replied, "I'm just a little bit luckier than others."

This remark made Gao Zhankui and Wang Wu laugh together, saying, "Luck is also a part of strength... If we're talking about luck, which of us hasn't had some good fortune and opportunities?"

They chatted and laughed for a while.

Jiang He then explained his purpose.

"I already know that you obtained an imperial weapon. This is your good fortune, so cherish it."

Qin Jiuzhou said, "Although our Great Xia started late, we have many powerful ancestors and left behind many treasures... However, I cannot give you these resources for free."

He glanced at Wang Wu and Gao Zhankui, then looked at Jiang He and said, "Jiang He, there's something we need your help with."

"I would like to borrow your holy intentions!"

Jiang He's eyes flickered slightly, guessing Qin Jiuzhou's intention, and he said, "Seventh Brother... could it be that you intend to attack the Crimson Blood Tower and the Heavenly Saint Sect?"
