The Great Xia Dynasty's Longevity Begins with Connecting to the Swallowed Starry Sky

Chapter 36 Second Prime Minister Xiao Jingyi, Chu Zishao

Board the vehicle.

Qin Zhenyuan made a point of having Qin Hao ride in the same car as them.

On the way, Qin Hao looked at the street scene outside that was constantly receding and sighed.

It was a street scene from a cultivation world, though it was similar to my previous life on Earth.

There are also vendors selling all kinds of goods.

But what they sell all has a touch of magic to it.

The large trees on the street are all spirit trees, the evergreen kind.

The older the Qingling Fruit tree, the higher the value of its fruit.

They don't even consider those at the lowest level, not even cultivators at the first realm.

Later, when the fruit tree broke through the ten-thousand-year calamity, even powerful beings of the fourth realm would collect it as materials for alchemy.

Even the spiritual fruits consumed daily.

Unfortunately, these Qingling Fruit trees probably won't survive even a once-in-a-century calamity.

Not to mention the great calamity that will last for ten thousand years.

It is no exaggeration to say that life is a miracle.

Perhaps thinking Qin Hao was craving something, the grandmother smiled and said, "Your great-grandmother's family has a three-thousand-year-old Qingling Fruit tree. If you like it, I'll have someone ask for some next time."

Qin Hao shook his head and asked, "Grandparents, I've been feeling a burning sensation in my body these past few days, almost ready to ignite the flames. But I feel like there's something blocking me inside. I don't know why."

If there were a teacher, I could ask them for advice on these things.

Unfortunately, Qin Hao was cultivating alone and didn't have a master at all.

Qin Zhenyuan was taken aback. He knew that Qin Hao had already grasped the power of water.

Now we also need to understand the power of fire?

Grandmother was taken aback, thought for a moment, and said, "Because of me, you all have dragon blood to some extent."

My lineage of dragons belongs to the water element.

So perhaps it hinders your understanding of fire.

So that's how it is; Qin Hao also guessed that this was one of the reasons.

But when it comes to matters of bloodline, there's really no way to resolve them.

Relatively speaking, this is both an advantage and a disadvantage.

For those with a water element, whether it's a secret technique or something else, comprehending it will be much more effective.

However, it is more or less detrimental to other attributes.

Qin Zhenyuan and Chu Xiuying exchanged a glance and nodded, but said nothing more.

At this moment, the car had arrived at the gate of the imperial city.

A wisp of spiritual energy swept across, and that was considered an inspection.

The arena for the contest of magic was located within the Six Doors (a government office), and the Six Doors' office was situated at the entrance to the Imperial City.

The carriages were parked at the gate of the Imperial City. Once inside the Imperial City, in addition to a few people who were allowed to ride horses, there were also several prime ministers from the cabinet.

Others, even members of the royal family, could only walk.

Qin Zhenyuan was only a seventh-rank earl, so naturally he was not allowed to ride in a carriage.

However, as soon as I got off the bus, I saw a deer-drawn carriage drive in.

Qin Zhenyuan quickly led Qin Hao aside and bowed to the side.

"It's Earl Anyuan."

Inside the car, a gentle voice rang out, and the curtains were drawn, so Qin Hao couldn't see the person's face.

I just felt that the voice was extremely familiar.

"Yes, Your Excellency."

It turns out to be the Vice Prime Minister Hsiao Ching-yi, a big shot in the fourth realm.

No wonder even the chariot puller is a white deer, a demonic beast of the third realm, equivalent to a domain lord who devours worlds.

Xiao Jingyi is equivalent to a Realm Lord, and is infinitely close to the ninth level of the Realm Lord. He is only one step away from advancing to the Immortal level.

Don't look down on realm lords and domain lords.

Don't be fooled by the fact that the top 1,000 in the Devouring World's Peak Genius Battle all have World Lord-level guards.

Even the primordial secret realm possesses immortal guardians. This makes one feel that the realm lord and the domain lord are inferior.

It's worth noting that in the early stages, a single stellar-level golden unicorn nearly wiped out the entire protagonist group.

A single, cosmic-level Noranshan nearly wiped out the entire Earth, capturing and enslaving everyone on Earth.

The Battle of the Ultimate Geniuses is for the top 1,000 geniuses from 1,008 cosmic nations.

It only happens once every ten thousand years.

Qin Hao seemed to sense a scrutinizing gaze. Qin Hao's heart skipped a beat, wondering if his concealment could fool the big shot in front of him.
The Primordial Mirror and the Golden Thread Treasure are both extremely powerful treasures, but Qin Hao had never encountered a master of this level before.

This is the strongest being beneath the celestial realm.

However, thinking about it, it seems that I haven't been discovered by Emperor Hengming all these years.

I felt somewhat at ease.

After a moment, the gaze returned, and a gentle voice rang out: "Not bad, calm in the face of adversity, with many methods, and able to refrain from showing off. Worthy of use."

Uh-huh?
Being praised by such a big shot, Qin Zhenyuan, let alone Qin Hao, must be very happy.

But is that last sentence even worth using?
Is the cabinet going to appoint Qin Hao?

That's not so simple.

However, Xiao Jingyi had no intention of explaining and simply had Bai Lu pull the cart forward.

Qin Zhenyuan didn't dare to ask.

He was merely a minor seventh-rank earl, commanding only a Red Dragon Army of three thousand men.

Such a force is nothing more than a drop in the ocean for the Great Xia Kingdom.

The four border legions are incredibly powerful.

When the Crimson Dragon Army passed by, they couldn't even make a ripple.

After the car drove away, Qin Zhenyuan straightened up, looked back at Qin Hao, and sighed, "With this evaluation from the Prime Minister, they might even be included among the major sects of Chunyang at the Enlightenment Ceremony three months later. What a pity..."

However, Qin Zhenyuan then remembered that Qin Hao seemed to have already become a disciple of a powerful figure in the fourth realm.

forget about it.

However, His Majesty and the Cabinet are likely to make a fuss about Qin Hao.

This made Qin Zhenyuan somewhat worried.

"Hey? Isn't this Lord Anyuan? Why are you in such a hurry to die?"

An arrogant voice rang out, and Qin Zhenyuan knew who it was without even turning around.

"Lord Weiling, no matter how eloquent you are with words, you still need to put them into practice."

Marquis Weiling was speechless, stumped by Qin Zhenyuan's words and overwhelmed by the pressure of the Core Formation Realm.

The title of Marquis Weiling was inherited, while the title of Earl Anyuan was earned through his own hard work and battles.

In terms of sheer presence, the opponent was far inferior.

Instead, Chu Zishao stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Zishao greets Lord Anyuan. Now that we've all arrived, let's go to the Six Doors to register and begin. Today, many nobles from the capital have come. I hope Brother Qin Hao won't mind if I, as an elder, try to put you in a position of authority."

Qin Zhenyuan was not good at talking, but Chu Xiuying did not have that worry. She directly snorted coldly: "Since you know you are more than ten years older, you should have some shame. Don't try to bully the younger one. Don't break your teeth."

"you!"

Even Chu Zishao couldn't maintain his polite demeanor.

But when he tried to speak again, Marquis Weiling grabbed him.

This dragon girl is not to be trifled with.

He recalled how he had been suppressed by this person when he was a child.

She never expected to marry a country bumpkin from a humble background.

This is a disgrace to the Wuling Marquis's family's lineage.

The two sides parted on bad terms, but Qin Hao, the person in question, did not express any opinion.

He carefully observed Chu Zishao; the man appeared polite on the surface, but harbored sinister intentions.

It’s not easy to deal with.

It's better to offend a gentleman than a petty person.

Chu Zishao is clearly a complete scoundrel.

"Never mind, Grandfather. Let's go inside too."
