Chapter 188 Transformation
When Chu Zhiyuan left the Duke of Anguo's Mansion and returned to the Prince's Mansion, the moon was already at its zenith.

Even at this time, there was still noise in the distance.

The sounds from the tall restaurants traveled particularly far, especially at night, when the sounds of stringed instruments and laughter floated in the air, adding a touch of decadence to Yujing City.

Chu Zhiyuan returned to Tingtao Courtyard, sat on the couch, took out the phoenix-patterned jade pendant and meditated, then fell asleep after he was exhausted.

He ignored the sword techniques that emerged in his mind.

Let them summarize and store themselves in your mind.

He decided to sort them out carefully after a while and find a sword technique that suits him, and ignore them for the time being.

When he woke up at dawn, he went to the Mingwu Hall to practice the Zi Yang Sutra, and then went to the Ministry of Rites to report for duty.

"Congratulations, sir!"

"Congratulations, sir!"

"Congratulations, sir!"

……

As soon as he stepped into the Ministry of Rites, he was greeted with congratulations everywhere and everyone he met thanked him.

The news of his promotion to the position of Left Vice Minister has spread.

Chu Zhiyuan responded to everyone's thanks by clasping his fists, with a smile on his face, looking like a man in high spirits.

When he arrived at his original room and saw Gao Lingfeng busy dealing with files, Chu Zhiyuan finally relaxed and his face returned to normal.

Gao Lingfeng heard the voice, looked up, and saw Chu Zhiyuan coming in through the curtains. He quickly stood up and clasped his fists, "Sir."

Chu Zhiyuan nodded and sat in his seat.

Gao Lingfeng smiled and said, "Congratulations, sir."

Chu Zhiyuan waved his hand and said, "Master Gao, would you like to follow me to the left courtyard?"

"Go to the left courtyard..." Gao Lingfeng hesitated.

He naturally knew where the Zuoyuan was, the Zuo Shilangyuan.

In addition to the Shangshu's main courtyard, there is also the Left Courtyard of the Left Vice Minister and the Right Courtyard of the Right Vice Minister.

The emperor's orders were transmitted to the Shangshu Main Court, and the official documents of the Shangshu Main Court would be transmitted to the Left Court and the Right Court, and the Left Court and the Right Court would then pass them on to the five departments below.

This is the power structure of Dajing officialdom.

Their Zongwu Division is one of the five divisions and belongs to the Left Court.

Chu Zhiyuan was promoted skipping levels.

The next level up is the doctor.

His position as Yuanwailang was originally an assistant Langzhong, who was in charge of the Zongwu Division.

And his current position as the Left Vice Minister is the doctor's superior.

It's like jumping up two levels at once.

"Master Gao is unwilling?" Chu Zhiyuan said with a smile, "Do you think it's too tiring? When you arrive at the Left Court, Master Gao will be responsible for most of the mundane affairs of the court. I am a lazy person."

"Thank you for your appreciation, sir!" Gao Lingfeng gritted his teeth, clasped his fists and bowed slowly: "I am willing to follow you, sir, and be your assistant!"

Chu Zhiyuan clapped his hands and smiled: "Good, that's great!"

He stepped forward to help Gao Lingfeng up, patted his shoulder and said with a smile: "With Lord Gao's help, I can rest assured!"

Gao Lingfeng said embarrassedly: "Your Excellency is too kind."

Chu Zhiyuan knew that Gao Lingfeng looked calm, but he was extremely excited inside.

After all, as the top scholar, he had worked hard for so many years, but his work was not as good as the two months of a prince. The gap was really too big.

Chu Zhiyuan didn't say much.

Gao Lingfeng is a top scholar and extremely intelligent. It's not that he doesn't understand some principles, he just can't accept them at the moment.

After some time, when you have tasted the power and the fulfillment of your lifelong wishes, you will find it really good.

Chu Zhiyuan stood in front of a counter in Tianbao Division, looking at the second-grade medal of honor handed over, his face unable to hide his disappointment.

After the final audit, the contribution was only second class.

Didn't make it to first place.

That means there is no chance of getting the Tuimian Pill.

The gap between second-class merit and first-class merit is huge.

If it is proven that Dalie and Dameng have formed an alliance to attack Dajing from both sides, thus making Dajing lose sight of both, then there is hope that he can be promoted to the first rank. But now he can only be the second rank.

Chu Zhiyuan thought about it, and finally handed the merit jade card back, indicating that he would not accept the credit. The credit would be recorded in the merit book, and would be upgraded with the subsequent accumulated merits.

He decided to be promoted to the first rank and obtain the Tumor-Removing Pill.

After leaving Tianbao Division and on his way back to the palace for lunch, he was thinking about a question: should he change the way he wanted to break through the realm?

Now, the method is to strengthen the meridians so that they can accommodate more Dragon Binding Ropes and break through the barrier in one fell swoop.

At this stage and this step, this road has obviously come to an end. Even if I get the Tuimian Pill, it can only provide some relief.

Eventually you have to find another way.

This path is refinement and sharpening.

Most people take this path.

You can combine this with your Jade Lock and Golden Gate Technique.

At the Grandmaster level, one can practice the art of controlling the sword.

The Sword Controlling Technique is an advanced version of the Sword Washing Technique. Its energy is purer and its power is stronger.

As he walked, he tried to practice the Sword Controlling Technique, which made the Qi shrink and purify rapidly, as if to expel the excess impurities in the Qi. Once the Sword Controlling Technique was practiced, the original Qi turned into one third of sword Qi.

The sword energy was then transformed using the Dragon Binding Rope, causing it to lose its power and hide in the twelve meridians. Afterwards, the twelve sword energy were divided into three groups, each attacking the fourth-floor bronze tower.

The four sword auras form a group, which are divided into three groups for continuous attack.

This will not put too much pressure on the meridians.

However, the fourth-floor copper building was extremely solid. The sword energy pierced it without causing any damage. It seemed that it could remain solid forever and could never be destroyed.

Chu Zhiyuan controlled the twelve sword auras, despair surging in his heart.

But even in despair, he still kept on attacking.

From the main street of Yujing City to Tingtao Courtyard of Prince Qing's Mansion, Chu Zhiyuan kept charging forward, and when he got tired he used the Tianyuan Jue to replenish his energy.

The attack lasted from evening to morning without any sleep, but the fourth floor of the Jade Tower was still intact and remained exceptionally solid.

Chu Zhiyuan did not give up and continued to attack.

He felt that he had to take this path in the end. The previous spectacular scene of breaking through the checkpoint in an instant would be difficult to reproduce. Times have changed, and one must seek progress through change.

Compared to the path to becoming a grandmaster, innate and acquired are too easy.

But this is also a process of tempering one's character.

The Tuimian Pill must be used, and this kind of soft and hard tactics must also be used. Walking on two legs can allow the master to progress faster.

Dajing Palace
Nishinomiya
Inside a white jade hall, Xiao Ruoling was dueling with a young and beautiful woman like her. The shadows of the wooden swords covered the sky.

After a moment, the sword shadow disappeared.

Xiao Ruoling was stabbed in the wrist and the wooden sword flew out of her hand.

The beautiful woman opposite stopped her sword and nodded with satisfaction: "Not bad, your progress is very fast. It seems that you are a genius in swordsmanship and you are very talented in swordsmanship."

This beautiful woman has an oval face, almond eyes, rosy cheeks, delicate features, and a cold temperament that makes it difficult for people to get close to her.

She is like a fairy in the clouds, not an ordinary person.

Xiao Ruoling said embarrassedly: "It was the prince who taught me swordsmanship."

"Chu Zhiyuan?" The beautiful lady, Xigong Empress Zeng Yuan snorted, "His comprehension is extraordinary, and it's not a false rumor."

Xiao Ruoling nodded quickly.

She didn't mention the jade pendant, thinking it was a secret within a secret and her master shouldn't tell her either.

Avoid creating variables.

"Okay, let him help you practice sword skills." Zeng Yuan said, "With his help, the Saint Girl is almost in your pocket."

She knew Chu Zhiyuan, the greatest genius of the Dajing royal family.

Not only did his realm improve incredibly quickly, but he also had an extraordinary talent for fighting and killing.

She thought to herself that she was inferior.

With his help, this set of Flower Moon Shadow Sword will surely be improved rapidly. With Xiao Ruoling's greatly increased strength, she will be able to take the lead and become a saint.

Thinking of this, a slight smile appeared on her face.
