Dominating Martial King-Chapter 420 - 239: Heaven and Earth Overturned (Seeking Subscriptions)_3
Cao Xuan originally wanted to say that he could only exchange up to the Sixth Layer. πππππ¬πππ·ππΏππ‘.ππΈπ
But after a second thought, he changed his mind.
For safetyβs sake, it would be best to have Chu Xisheng cultivate to the Eighth Layer.
What if the Ninth Refinements of Extreme Essence Purple Gold Body of the Sixth Layer still couldnβt control Chu Xisheng?
This time, in order to deliver Blood Drop Wang Sheng to Chu Xishengβs blade, they had mobilized many people and gone to great lengths.
This kind of thing cannot be done a second time.
As for that score, just wait until Chu Xisheng is fully committed before they start demanding repayment, bit by bit.
Chu Xisheng, holding the letter of token in his hands, looked at the words "Deputy Commander of the Land Government" with surprise and raised an eyebrow, "Deputy Thousand Households, a two-grade promotion? Are the rewards from above really this generous?"
He was previously a seventh-rank Hundred Households Official, but now he had skipped the Secondary Sixth-Rank Colonel and was promoted directly to Standard Sixth-rank Deputy Thousand Households.
"This isnβt a reward, the Iron Banner Gang dominates Xiushui Xunyang, which can already be considered a prominent matter within East State. As the Young Flag Master of the Iron Banner Gang, naturally, you cannot remain a mere Hundred Households."
Cao Xuan glanced at him sideways, "This is the tradition of the Imperial Guard, only with generous rewards can we win over the hearts of heroes."
Otherwise, if someone feels comfortable and satisfied being a Jianghu leader, why would they become an undercover agent for the Imperial Guard?
Chu Xisheng understood upon hearing this, "Itβs a pity, I actually wanted to be a Colonel to command three to five hundred men."
A Colonel of the Imperial Guard is much more valuable than one in the military.
A Colonel in charge of three to five hundred men in the border army and Divine Strategy Camp is just a seventh-rank official.
Unlike the Deputy Thousand Household, a Colonel has direct authority over hundreds of men and holds real power.
Cao Xuan shook his head slightly, "Forget about it, this too is a tradition of the Imperial Guard, undercover agents and spies are not appointed to actual positions. In the future, once you have distinguished yourself and return to serve in the Imperial Guard, positions at the level of Thousand Households and Ten Thousand Households will be within easy reach, and then you will have real authority."
He thought that Chu Xishengβs current power was already alarming enough, how could he be allowed to control three hundred Imperial Guards?
By then, he wouldnβt even need to serve as the Thousand Households of Xiushui County.
The Secret Techniques for cultivation above the Sixth Layer of the Imperial Guard couldnβt be taken out from their arsenal anyway.
Chu Xisheng spent a day and a half to thoroughly study it and then walked out from the tunnel.
When Chu Xisheng walked out of the bun shop, his escort Ji Qianqian seemed somewhat distracted.
Chu Xisheng found it strange on the way, "Whatβs wrong with you? Why are you always daydreaming?"
He suspected that if someone attempted to assassinate him at that moment, Ji Qianqian would definitely not be able to react in time.
"Iβm sorry! I was thinking about some matters related to Martial Arts. Didnβt the Hall Master teach me that Secret Technique that stimulates potential and accelerates promotion to below Fifth Grade? There are still some parts I donβt quite understand," Qiqian apologized and forced a smile after waking from her reverie.
She really wanted to ask Chu Xisheng if he had exchanged for the βNine Refinements of Extreme Essence Purple Gold Body.β
But Qianqian, merely a hunterβs guard, had no right to inquire about such matters.
The rules had been set by herself, who would suspend them halfway through execution?
Qianqian then shook her head vigorously, suppressing the distracting thoughts in her mind.
She thought to herself that once Chu Xisheng had mastered the βNine Refinements of Extreme Essence Purple Gold Body,β she would personally keep it under control, not letting anyone else misuse it.
Once Chu Xisheng had accomplished outstanding feats for the Imperial Guard and the matters of the βRebellious God Flag, the former Crown Princeβs party, and the Red Dragon Clanβ had all come to an end, she would remove the Forbidden Technique from him, and it wouldnβt be too late by then.
Chu Xisheng, however, didnβt think too much of it, "Your promotion is indeed better off sooner than later. But thereβs no need to space out on the road; with the current complicated situation within Xiushui County, we need to be extra careful when we are out."
Not long after he returned to West Mountain Town, two events occurred.
One was news from the Headquarters of the Iron Banner Gang that Tie Xiaoshengβs cultivation had broken through to the Fifth Grade Lower.
This was beyond everyoneβs expectations.
Chu Xisheng was also shocked and in awe, with almost everyoneβs attention in Xiushui County now focused on the Iron Madman.
Who would have thought that it would be Tie Xiaosheng, who seemed to be constantly busy with endless affairs, to achieve the breakthrough first?
Chu Xisheng had a sudden realization that day aboard the ferry; Tie Xiaoshengβs hasty departure wasnβt to deal with gang affairs but for todayβs breakthrough.
No wonder he felt that Tie Xiaoshengβs aura that day was exceptionally harmonious.
Chu Xisheng was then overjoyed.
A fifth-Grade master could already be considered a hero in their own right.
With a second Fifth-Grade master, the Iron Banner Gangβs position had strengthened significantly, not having to rely entirely on the Iron Madman anymore.
This must have been part of the Iron Madmanβs plan, keeping so tight-lipped about it to both insiders and outsiders, without letting slip the slightest hint.
Chu Xisheng hence felt more confident about the Iron Madmanβs promotion.
With the Iron Madmanβs wisdom, he must have arranged his promotion flawlessly.
The second matter was that his βBlood Essence Pointsβ had suddenly increased by about thirty-five points on April 3rd.
Chu Xisheng was baffled as his Blood Essence Points had been consistently rising, about ten to twelve points each day.
It had never surged by more than thirty points in one day as it had today.
The problem was that Chu Xisheng had recently been very reclusive, solely focused on studying Martial Arts and cultivating, without engaging in combat or publishing any writings.
However, twelve days later at noon, Chu Xisheng finally learned the reason.
It was the afternoon of April 15th, the day when the new issues of βDebating Martial Arts * Divine Continent Recordsβ and βDebating Martial Arts * East State Chroniclesβ were due to be released.
Both issues of Debating Martial Arts were delivered to Chu Xishengβs study less than two minutes after their release.
