Chapter 134 Dragon Fat
"Grandmaster?!"

"Really a master?"

"Damn, he's really a master?!"

"Damn it, comparing yourself to others makes you angry!"

……

There were ghostly howlings in the Mingwu Palace's martial arts training ground.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled as he looked at the people surrounding him, including Chu Mingxuan, Chu Zhiyao, Chu Zhiting and Chu Zhichuan.

Not only were they unhappy, but they looked as if they had lost their parents and had sad faces.

"Go, go, go." Chu Qingfeng waved his hand to dismiss them: "Hurry up and practice!"

"Ah..., practice, practice!"

"Practicing f*cking skills is useless!"

"Fourth brother practices harder than us, and his aptitude is better than ours!"

“Ah…ah…”

Sighs were heard continuously. Everyone was mentally traumatized, listless, discouraged, and wanted to lie down.

Chu Zhiyuan glanced at them with a smile, without saying any words of encouragement, letting them digest the heavy blow they had suffered on their own.

Seeing them like this, I couldn't help but feel happy.

"Uncle, I have something to ask you."

"Let's go."

Chu Qingfeng looked at him, smiled and patted his shoulder.

In the morning light, Chu Zhiyuan's eyes were warm and clear, and if you looked closely, you could tell that he had indeed reached the Grandmaster level.

All the previous sharpness was restrained.

At the level of a Grandmaster, one can establish a school in a small place, have a deep understanding of martial arts, and be able to come up with original ideas.

The two came to the west hall.

Chu Zhiyuan first asked about what Cheng Tianfeng had said, about the influence of emotion and indifference on the Grand Master, and whether he really could not be moved by emotions.

He had super senses and always remained calm, so it was difficult for him to fall completely in love. However, after spending some time with Xiao Ruoling, he found that Xiao Ruoling was extremely beautiful, gentle and virtuous, and she was a perfect match for him.

So it is not necessarily impossible for me to fall in love.

"I've never heard of this." Chu Qingfeng pondered, shook his head and smiled, "Whoever becomes a Grandmaster is not in his sixties or seventies, at least in his fifties or sixties. At that age, how can he still have love affairs?"

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Really?"

"After fifty, the heart is closed and it is almost impossible to be emotional anymore." Chu Qingfeng shook his head: "Even if I am emotional, it is difficult to be as obsessed as when I was young and completely lose myself."

Chu Zhiyuan said: "In this case, it does have an impact."

“Maybe, maybe not.” Chu Qingfeng said, “I’ve never heard of anyone who became a Grandmaster at a young age… The progress of a Grandmaster is not as fast as that of an innate master. Four or five years to advance to the first level is considered fast. It takes at least thirty-six years to reach the ninth level. The fastest seems to be thirty years.”

Chu Zhiyuan nodded.

Seeing the appearance of the Bronze Tower aroused fear. It was definitely not as easy to break through as the Jade Tower. It was definitely not easy to advance to the Grandmaster level.

Chu Qingfeng waved his hand and said, "You are twenty-one now. In thirty years, you will be fifty. Why do you need to worry about this? Don't think too much."

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "What if I am faster and become a Grandmaster before I am forty?"

Chu Qingfeng said: "Grandmasters are not born with talent, so they can't be fast. Adjust your state of mind now, don't be too impatient, or else you will end up with trouble instead of speed."

"Yes." Chu Zhiyuan nodded slowly.

He has already adjusted his mindset. He cannot increase his innate progress as fast as that of a Grandmaster. He must be prepared for a protracted war.

-

Chu Zhiyuan announced that he would go into seclusion again.

He didn't even go to the Ministry of Rites to take a closer look.

He was not very interested in the affairs of the Ministry of Rites. He just did his job well and fulfilled his duties as a Yuwenlang.

But once it conflicts with cultivation, he will choose cultivation without hesitation.

If I don't handle the affairs of the Ministry of Rites myself, there are people who will handle them. Gao Lingfeng is the best replacement candidate, even better than myself.

For some things, I need to rely on my noble status as a prince, and those are things I need to do personally. Other things can be left to Gao Lingfeng.

What's more, after becoming a Grandmaster, he had a second chance to choose.

Stay in the original Ministry of Rites' Zongwu Division, or go to the Zhenwu Division, or the Supervisory Division, or even go to the army.

He has the right to choose everywhere.

This was a power that only the princes had, and outsiders could only envy him. He felt that if he did this, the people in the Ministry of Rites would probably think that he didn't want to stay in the Ministry of Rites anymore and wanted to find another high position.

He was indeed considering whether to continue staying in the Ministry of Rites or to change to a position that could provide more merit and help in his cultivation.

……

That evening, the four of them had dinner together.

He planned to start his retreat after having dinner.

While eating, he said to Bai Ningshuang: "Mom, ask the queen if she wants me to defeat Li Hongzhao."

"Ninth Princess?" Bai Ningshuang said in surprise, "I heard that she is very powerful, even more powerful than Cheng Tianfeng."

"Well, the Ninth Princess is a master, even better than Cheng Tianfeng."

"Then can you beat him?"

"Not yet." Chu Zhiyuan said, "If the queen helps, it will be more certain."

"How can I help you?"

"A rare item that increases the strength of the meridians."

"Hmm... Strengthen the meridians... OK, I'll ask the queen." Bai Ningshuang looked at him and said worriedly: "Yuan'er, don't show off."

Chu Yi chuckled and said, "Mom, what you said is really interesting."

"How is it interesting?!" Bai Ningshuang glared at her unhappily.

Chu Yi smiled and said, "When will big brother show off his strength?"

"Hehe, your elder brother is different now." Bai Ningshuang said, "Now he has a prince's wife."

Chu Zhiyuan laughed: "Don't worry, it's not for fame or to show off."

If he could defeat Li Hongzhao, it would be equivalent to crushing the morale of Dameng.

It can greatly reverse the current negative impact on the border and boost the morale of the people of Dajing.

So the emperor shouldn't feel bad about shedding a little blood for this, right?
The opportunity to fleece the emperor is rare and must not be missed.

-

At noon the next day, Chu Zhiyuan was standing on the Dragon Subduing Posture in Tingtao Courtyard, practicing the first level of the Dragon Transformation Technique, alternating with the Meridian Cleansing Technique.

He found that alternating between the two techniques produced better results.

The meridians were already able to withstand the simultaneous impact of the five dragon-binding ropes, but they could not shake the first floor of the bronze tower at all.

He decided to go to the new house for retreat tomorrow.

Bai Ningshuang came in person.

Zou Fang stepped aside to open the gate, and Bai Ningshuang came to Tingtao Courtyard, where she saw Chu Zhiyuan standing in a strange posture, motionless, with a howling wind around them.

Her light purple palace dress fluttered suddenly.

Chu Zhiyuan slowly opened his eyes, and the strong wind around him slowly subsided.

Bai Ningshuang looked around in surprise.

The howling wind has blown the courtyard clean, and the bamboo leaves in the green bamboo forest under the wall have become sparse.

The flowers in the flowerbed are falling petals.

This is the scene after being swept by the strong wind, it is so embarrassing.

"mother?"

"Here, here you go."

Bai Ningshuang took out a small jade box from her sleeve and handed it to him: "The queen gave it to me. This is Dragon Fat Fragrance."

Chu Zhiyuan took the palm-sized cold jade box, opened it and took a look. It turned out to be a piece of gold with an irregular shape like a gold nugget.

But it exudes a strange smell.

It was neither a fragrance nor a stench. It was a completely new smell, different from any smell he had smelled before.

He looked up at Bai Ningshuang.

Bai Ningshuang shook her head: "The Queen didn't say anything else, just let you do it yourself."

"Thank you, your majesty." Chu Zhiyuan said with a smile.

He decided to try it out on his own.

Anything the emperor makes must be top-notch and should not be missed.
