The poorest member of the Imperial Guard, the Empress begged me to embezzle.

The next day.

Chu Xiu slowly walked into the Northern Garrison Office.

"grown ups."

Lin Huaiyu approached Chu Xiu and bowed to him.

"No need to be polite."

"But have the situations of the thousand-household and hundred-household garrisons throughout our Great Zhou Dynasty been thoroughly investigated?"

Chu Xiu glanced at Lin Huaiyu and said.

"Your Excellency, the entire investigation has been completed."

Lin Huaiyu, with a serious expression, took out a Book of Impermanence from his sleeve and handed it to Chu Xiu, saying, "Anyone who wants to line their own pockets, or who does superficial work and does not seriously carry out the free clinic activities, or who colludes with powerful families, has been registered!"

Please take a look, sir!

"Someone, inform Fang Heng to come to the main hall of our Northern Garrison Office to see me."

Chu Xiu took the Book of Impermanence and spoke in a deep voice to a guard from the Northern Garrison not far away.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

The Northern Garrison Commander responded and used his light-footed skill to leave.

"Let's go to the lobby."

Chu Xiu said something to Lin Huaiyu and walked towards the main hall of the Northern Garrison Office.

"Yes."

Lin Huaiyu lagged behind and followed Chu Xiu to the main hall of the Northern Garrison Office.

Not long after.

Chu Xiu then went to the main hall of the Northern Garrison Office, sat down in the main seat, and began to read the Book of Impermanence.

He had just finished reading the Book of Impermanence.

Fang Heng appeared in the hall, bowed to Chu Xiu, his face showing excitement, and said in a strong voice, "Your subordinate greets Your Excellency."

Seeing Lin Huaiyu standing in the hall, he guessed what Chu Xiu wanted to do by calling him over.

Last night's battle saw all members of their Sky Guard break through to the Innate Realm, and a large number of Grandmasters were also born.

This made him realize one thing: if he wanted to advance his cultivation quickly, he had to keep killing!

Only through slaughter can the Skyguards grow rapidly.

"No gift."

Chu Xiu said calmly.

"Thank you, sir."

Fang Heng cupped his hands in thanks.

Chu Xiu threw the Book of Impermanence in his hand in front of Fang Heng, stood up, and revealed a murderous intent in his eyes. He said with a chilling aura, "Our Great Zhou Dynasty, the land of thirteen states."

There were thirteen thousand-household stations and more than one hundred hundred-household stations.

Nearly a third of them were either thinking of enriching themselves, disobeying the orders of our Northern Garrison Command, or colluding with powerful families.

This is utterly appalling to me!

"Fang Heng, obey my command!"

After a pause, Chu Xiu spoke in a deep and powerful voice.

"My subordinate is here!"

Fang Heng's expression turned solemn, and he shouted in a firm and resounding voice.

"You are in charge of selecting candidates from our Northern Garrison Command to take over the various thousand-household and hundred-household garrisons!"

"For all those on the list of the Book of Impermanence, dispatch the Sky Guards to various locations!"

"Slaughter them all, leave no one alive!"

Chu Xiu spoke with overwhelming murderous intent.

"Yes, sir!"

Fang Heng picked up the Book of Impermanence and said solemnly.

"Lin Huaiyu, you will be responsible for cooperating with Fang Heng and providing intelligence support."

"Taking advantage of this opportunity, our Northern Garrison Command will completely take control of all the thousand-household and hundred-household garrisons throughout the Great Zhou Dynasty."

Chu Xiu took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and said.

"Yes, I understand!"

Lin Huaiyu said respectfully.

"Congratulations, host, for eradicating the corrupt Jinyiwei throughout the Great Zhou Dynasty and for your unwavering commitment to doing positive things. You have been rewarded with forty years of Dharma Aspect Power, the second strike of the Qiankun Zhentian Blade, and twenty Pure Yang Wuji Pills."

"Do you want to receive the reward?"

The mechanical voice of the positive energy system rang in Chu Xiu's mind.

"Yes."

Chu Xiu replied without hesitation.

As soon as he finished speaking, the power of forty years of Dharma form appeared in his dantian.

The Shangqing Divine Skill automatically activated, absorbing and refining the power of the Dharma Image accumulated over forty years.

This caused Chu Xiu's cultivation level to instantly break through from the fourth level of the Dharma Aspect Realm to the fifth level of the Dharma Aspect Realm.

"As expected, the higher one's cultivation level, the more difficult it is to improve."

"Especially the Taiqing Divine Skill that I am currently cultivating is a true divine skill."

"It is more than ten times more powerful than the Innate Qiankun Technique, and the difficulty of breaking through each minor realm will increase."

"Fortunately, I have a positive energy system, so I don't need to worry about the slow speed of my cultivation level improvement."

Chu Xiu was secretly shocked by how difficult it was to cultivate the Shangqing Divine Skill.

Without the existence of the system, even the most outstanding geniuses would need hundreds or even thousands of years to cultivate the Shangqing Divine Art to the Dharma Aspect Realm or even the Immortal Ascension Realm.

The second strike of the Qiankun Zhentian Blade appeared in Chu Xiu's mind.

This allowed him to instantly reach a state of perfection in his mastery of the Qiankun Zhentian Blade.

"No, the second strike of the Qiankun Zhentian Blade is not something that someone at the Dharma Aspect Realm can use."

"Even if I had cultivated the Shangqing Divine Skill, I would still be unable to use it."

"However, once I reach the Immortal Ascension Realm, I will be able to use the second strike of the Qiankun Zhentian Blade."

"The power of this strike is more than ten times stronger than the first strike of the Qiankun Zhentian Blade!"

"Truly a sword that can suppress the heavens!"

Although Chu Xiu had long guessed that the second strike of the Qiankun Zhentian Blade would be incredibly terrifying, he was still amazed when he actually received its contents.

After thinking for a moment, Chu Xiu waved his sleeve, and one jade bottle after another floated down to the ground in front of Fang Heng.

"Sir, is this?"

Fang Heng's eyes lit up, revealing a look of ecstatic joy, and he asked in a trembling voice.

Lin Huaiyu paused, his eyes burning as he looked at each and every jade bottle.

He already knew that Fang Heng had taken the Pure Yang Limitless Pill given to him by Chu Xiu, which was how he stepped into the Primordial Spirit Realm.

After all, this matter was a true secret, even within the Northern Garrison Command, and only the most trusted members of the inner circle knew about it.

However, Lin Huaiyu was originally Chu Xiu's protégé, so he naturally had the right to know.

"This is the Pure Yang Limitless Pill!"

"These ten Pure Yang Limitless Pills are entrusted to your Shocking Guard!"

"Those who have rendered great service to our Northern Garrison and possess extraordinary talent and have reached the Grandmaster realm, you may bestow them upon them at that time!"

"Help them reach the Nascent Soul realm!"

Chu Xiu pondered for a moment, then spoke to Fang Heng.

His next step is to establish a genuine merit system throughout the entire Northern Garrison Command, with the basic resources provided by the Northern Garrison Command.

However, higher-quality resources must be redeemed through merit.

The reason for bestowing these gifts now is that the Northern Garrison Command still has too few true masters, and it is necessary to cultivate as many as possible.

He originally had seventeen Pure Yang Limitless Pills left, and now the system has rewarded him with twenty more.

Even if there are only thirty-seven Pure Yang Limitless Pills left, giving ten to the Shocking Guard wouldn't be a big deal.

Moreover, from the system's continuous rewards of Pure Yang Limitless Pills, Chu Xiu knew that this kind of pill was neither particularly precious nor particularly rare.

Because there will definitely be many more Pure Yang Limitless Pills as rewards in the future.

"Thank you, sir. On behalf of all the brothers of the Shocking Guard, we thank you for your life-saving grace!"

Fang Heng knelt down before Chu Xiu, and said with tears of gratitude.

"Lin Huaiyu, here I have the Pure Yang Limitless Pills for you, Pei Shiji, Yang Cheng, and Luo Tianxi."

"You can pass it on to Pei Shiji and the other two."

Chu Xiu waved his sleeve once more, and four jade bottles appeared in front of Lin Huaiyu. He said, "However, you must remember that you must reach the Grandmaster realm before you can take the Pure Yang Limitless Pill."

Before reaching the Grandmaster realm, one must not consume the Pure Yang Limitless Pill!
