Longevity begins with Gu refining

The fact that Zhu Qifeng's family was implicated and imprisoned did not cause much turmoil.

In the eyes of the world, this is really a normal thing.

Chen Qing doesn't really care whether the world respects him or not.

As long as Chen Qing orders it, they must carry it out.

Chen Qing looked around and found that apart from the Kingdom of Water, there were only a few evil cultivators mixed in, and he was slightly dissatisfied.

They had told Xuan Mang a long time ago to let some evil cultivators come to observe the ceremony. Otherwise, how could they be sure that they had really returned to the human world from the realm of death?
Not sure how to take Wang Gu to counterattack the world of death and enter the trap set by Chen Qing?
Outside the alchemy room in the city, as soon as Yan Lie arrived, he was stopped by Dan Yangzi's disciples: "Yan Lie, it's you, get out of here quickly!"

"If Senior Brother Chen Dan sees you, he will tear you alive!"

Yan Lie showed an embarrassed smile, "Haha, I just came over to take a look. I'm leaving right now."

When he turned around, he saw his father, Yan Xing, right behind him.

Yan Lie and Yan Xing were walking on the street where there were not many people. This was a secret place that ordinary people could not approach.

Yan Xing asked: "Lie'er, do you have a bad relationship with Chen Dan?"

Now Chen Qing has only one son, which is Chen Dan, and the relationship with Chen Dan is not good, which makes Yan Xing worried.

Yan Lie said awkwardly: "That's not the case. Senior Brother Chen Dan said that my voodoo was a fire voodoo, so he invited me to refine the alchemy. As a result, my flame directly burned the alchemy furnace."

"The alchemy furnace continued to burn. The flames could not be extinguished, and the entire alchemy room was burned down."

"The alchemy rooms now are all newly built."

Yan Xing asked: "For such a big mistake, will King Wen punish you?"

Yan Lie shook his head, "Master didn't even ask, so he probably doesn't care, but Senior Brother Chen Dan doesn't allow me to get close to the alchemy room now."

While chatting, the two came to the courtyard where Yan Xing was received, "It used to be uncle and the others. Why did grandpa send father here this time?"

Yan Xing said: "It wasn't until you were studying under King Wen, so my father specially asked me to come over so that we could make friends."

The two sat down, and Yan Lie suddenly asked: "Father, I wonder what you think of the throne?"

Yan Xing said: "How else can you look at it? Your uncle has many strong men under his command. My father gave him the general power. As for the civil servants, your second uncle is the sole ruler of the world."

"I guess if something happened to my father, it would be your eldest uncle and his second uncle who would fight for the throne."

"By the way, you're all right, why are you asking?"

"Could it be that King Wen hinted something to you?"

"You can't get involved in this matter. Don't think that just because you are in the Xuan Guan realm now, you can be arrogant!"

Yan Lie said: "Father, I think too much. Master never said anything. I just left home for too long and don't know the situation. I just asked casually."

"Father, please rest here while I prepare to welcome Master back to the human world."

After three days, Su Yi and Xuan Mang began to hold a ceremony to welcome Chen Qing in King Wen's palace.

Chen Qing was sitting in Tingyun's carriage, listening to the ceremony outside. When he stepped on it, flowers bloomed in the sky, and he appeared on the throne.

Chen Qing glanced around. Su Yi, Xuan Mang, the generals and the two national masters were all there.

Chen Qing waved his sleeves and sat down, and everyone hurriedly bowed, "I'll wait and see King Wen!"

Everyone bowed down and watched the former elders Li Changqing and Qi Tianfeng kneeling in front of him. Chen Qing suddenly felt a little dreamy.

Seniors in the Ascension Realm actually have to rely on themselves to earn a living.

The king’s order, the divine right!
Those who transgress are guilty of blasphemy!

"Be flat!"

Everyone got up.

Su Yi said: "The envoys from all the countries in Xuan brought most of the envoys from that country to pay homage to King Wen!"

Outside the main hall, Youhuang and Yanlie crossed their arms and watched the envoys from various countries enter the main hall in batches.

You Huang said: "Li Guo and Ye Guo did not dare to send Li Shang and Ye Chen's father."

"That's right. King Wen's position is higher than that of other kings. When princes and princes meet King Wen, this is the occasion where they need to kneel down in front of King Wen."

"The king does not worship the king."

"After this kneeling, it will be considered as if you have no chance of being crowned king."

"Having ever knelt down to worship King Wen will be a stain."

"Neither you nor my father can escape."

Yan Lie stretched out his hand and slapped the railing in front of him, leaving a paw print on the gold-cast railing, "Huh! It doesn't matter if you kneel before me. As long as all the kings in Nanli kneel before Master in the future, then it's not a stain. "

Youhuang chuckled, "Stop talking about these irritating things."

"Senior Brother Li Shang has received a letter. In that battle, you will be the main attacker."

"Let you break through to the Tongtian Realm as soon as possible, otherwise you may not be able to shoulder the main attack task."

Yan Lie nodded, "Tongtian realm is not difficult, it still takes a few years of work."

"Just why let me be the main attack? Could it be that Master is planning to rebuild the country again?"

"My Vermillion Bird King Flame will not go out until it is completely burned."

Youhuang said: "Uncle Wushang has received news that the land, rivers and mountains of the Kingdom of Water may no longer be usable."

Yan Lie nodded, "If so, I understand."

"By the way, I'll be the main attacker, what about you?"

Youhuang said: "I will follow Lord Yun to block the retreat route of the Kingdom of Water in the South China Sea."

At this moment, Youhuang pointed toward the steps in front of the palace hall, "Look, the people from the Kingdom of Water are coming."

Not long after the envoys from the Kingdom of Water entered the palace, Yan Lie and Youhuang heard a loud shout, "Bold!"

Soon, a sergeant rushed in and escorted the envoy from the Kingdom of Water to prison.

Yan Lie inquired for a moment and understood the reason, "The envoy from the Kingdom of Water actually said that there is no queen in the Kingdom of Wen now, so he specially offered the daughter of the King of Water to be the queen of the Kingdom of Wen!"

Youhuang shouted angrily: "You are really outrageous!"

"Can the princess of the Kingdom of Water be worthy of my master?"

The princess of the Kingdom of Water has always had a bad reputation.

Yan Lie saw many courtiers scattering in all directions and said quickly: "Go quickly, Master is going to be angry. Go to Yu Xu'er's place to take shelter!"

Chen Qing was almost confused by the Kingdom of Water. What was going on?
Calling Su Yi, Chen Qing came to the dungeon of King Wen's palace and saw Lan Jingting again. He shouted back and Chen Qing said coldly: "I know what you want. There is no one around now except you and me. If you have anything to say, just say it." Let’s talk openly.”

Lan Jingting smiled and said: "I know that King Wen is not a reckless person."

"I'm really here to get married."

Chen Qing said angrily: "Are you done yet?"

Lan Jingting asked: "Don't you, King Wen, want to know what the betrothal gift is?"

Chen Qing had no interest at all and just felt that Lan Jingting was humiliating himself.

Lan Jingting smiled confidently: "Isn't King Wen not interested in the position of true king?"

At this point, Chen Qing looked at Lan Jingting carefully and suddenly understood something.

He didn't want to listen to Lan Jingting's nonsense anymore. He had already guessed the key to this matter.

Whether the Congress of Water will be wiped out is actually not very critical, Guozuo has come to an end.

Jiuxuanguan asked himself to remove the country, not necessarily because of God Miao's instruction.

So, this matter is very simple.

This was basically a test between Miao Shen and the True Lords, to test whether he, the newly promoted King Wen, could resist the temptation in front of the True Lord's position.

This is a test for him.In other words, the assessment of a new King Wen.

After thinking about this, Chen Qing suddenly felt relaxed.

I used to think that the Kingdom of Water had some special trump card, but now it seems that it was just Tai Sui that confused me.

That way, it's simple.

Chen Qing, who understood the twists and turns, strode out of the dungeon, "The envoy of the Kingdom of Water was bewitched by evil spirits, intending to assassinate the king. Three days later, the envoy will be executed in the street, and his mind and soul will be wiped out!"

After saying this, Chen Qing turned around and returned to King Wen's palace.

It was time to move on to his other plans.

Returning to King Wen's palace, Chen Dan was the only one in the huge palace backyard holding an alchemy book and modifying its contents.

"What about the other three?"

Chen Dan put down the alchemy book in his hand and said, "Father, I am practicing at Yuxu'er's place."

Chen Qing sat by the pond, "Call over here and I'll see if you have been working hard recently."

The other three people came over angrily, and they were instinctively in awe of Chen Qing.

Chen Qing glanced at him and said, "You are both in the Mysterious Entrance Realm, and my teacher is now also in the Mysterious Entrance Realm."

"I'll give you some advice."

Chen Qing stood up, waved his sleeves and said, "Let the four of us come together."

Yan Lie said: "Master, this is a palace. If it is damaged, it will be destroyed."

Chen Qing chuckled, "It can't be damaged. Attack with all your strength. Don't stop."

But Yu Xu'er was not afraid of anything, "Master has a destiny, and this disciple will be offended!"

Then, before Yu Xu'er saw clearly how Chen Qing took action, she fell to the ground with a cry of pain, "Oh, it hurts, it hurts. Master, it hurts!"

The other three people made moves, but in one move, Chen Qing easily defeated them.

"Sure enough, compared to the kings who have experienced the battle for the king, you are now just superficial and have king Gu, but you have not exerted their power."

Yan Lie and Youhuang's faces turned red, and they suddenly felt a little ashamed.

Chen Dan's attack was just to make up the numbers. Both Yan Lie and Youhuang knew that Chen Dan was only good at legal elixir books and was not very strong in actual combat.

Chen Qing said: "Fortunately, there is still a battle to destroy the country, which can give you some opportunities to fight."

"Get ready, carefully explore the potential of your King Gu, and create more uses."

"Don't always set fires and summon rain and snow. There's nothing new at all."

"Think of a way to concentrate the power of your King Gu at one point and explode it!"

After giving some instructions to a few people, Chen Qing walked towards the palace, ready to handle today's political affairs.

Sitting in the side hall, under the stage were Su Yi and his subordinate officers.

In today's Wen State, Wen wears Qilin and Wu wears White Tiger.

Important ministers like Su Yi wore official robes embroidered with four unicorns.

Chen Qing sat down and Su Yi asked: "Your Majesty, did you kill the envoy of the Kingdom of Water directly?"

"After all, before the removal of the country, he was still the son of the same country."

Chen Qing said: "There is no need to ask any more questions about this matter. I have made up my mind and vow to be an enemy of the Kingdom of Water."

Su Yi said: "That's fine, the military will probably be very happy."

Chen Qing asked: "Why is this?"

Su Yi said: "Our country of Wen has not yet determined its territory. Now the soldiers with great military achievements are looking forward to the land of the Kingdom of Water."

Chen Qing said: "Self enfeoffment?"

"I have no intention of enfeoffing."

Su Yi looked solemn and said, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid this move is inappropriate."

"Soldiers, they are all waiting for enfeoffment."

"They all look forward to having their own family residence and protecting the royal family."

Chen Qing shook his head, "The enfeoffment is too old for me."

"For military merit, let's exchange it for Enyin, and give their descendants the qualification to become Xuan Guan realm."

"Anyway, over the years, the average quality of casual foundation building has gotten worse and worse, and I don't have much interest in absorbing it anymore."

"Wen Guo's quota should be given to the children of these meritorious officials."

Chen Qing said seriously: "Su Yi, I don't like the majority, nor the sect. I want the entire Wen Kingdom to have only one King Wen!"

"I want the entire Wen Kingdom to obey the order once I give it, instead of holding the top ministers together and convening tribal practitioners to discuss decisions."

"I want my order to be implemented in every corner of Nanli."

"I want the entire Wen Kingdom for my use!"

What Chen Qing wanted was an extremely centralized Wen State, not an extremely loose feudal system like other countries.

What he wants is a state machine, not numerous ministries to protect him, King Wen.

Su Yi said: "But that would require a lot of financial resources."

"Tribal enfeoffment, the king only needs to entrust the land, and he can enjoy most of the offerings every year to support the royal family's practice."

"But if you want to achieve the King's intention, you must arrange things for each practitioner and pay a salary."

Chen Qingdao: "I know what you mean. If it is enfeoffed, the royal family does not need other expenditures. It even only needs to collect most of the offerings. There is only entry and no exit."

"But that will also cause problems, that is, most of them will attack each other and cause serious internal friction."

"Moreover, not every large tribe can have a shrewd leader who can lead the entire tribe to develop and grow."

"I intend to control the entire Wen Kingdom through the Wen Kingdom Chaotang. All matters will be controlled through the Chaotang!"

"Under unified control, everyone can do their best, and everyone has the opportunity to display their talents."

"Other countries can't, but we, Wenguo, can do it, because Wenguo is a brand new country."

Su Yi solemnly said: "If it were another country, it might be difficult to do it."

"But our country, Wen, has elixirs, as well as Gu books, and a large number of production monks, maybe we can do it."

"I need to discuss with the two national advisors and Xuan Mang to calculate whether our current national treasury can afford such a huge salary payment."

Chen Qing reached out and took the tea brought by the maid, "Send someone and ask them to come. By the way, Tingyun will also call. You guys, please give me a good life."

Su Yi walked out of the hall and arranged for her subordinates to summon Xuan Mang and others, but she thought in her heart: It seems that I, the prime minister, will become the real prime minister with real power.

In fact, among the various countries, the position of prime minister is more like representing the favor of the king to a family rather than authority.

What the prime minister needs to manage is not the whole country, but just the royal city.

The way they manage the country is to go to various departments to collect offerings.

Now, he clearly felt Chen Qing's extraordinary desire for control.

Chen Qing seems to want to build the entire Wen Kingdom into a whole, rather than many countries that mostly defend the royal family.

In fact, this was simply because he was overthinking it. Chen Qing simply felt that the enfeoffment system was too backward.

Compared to being divided and independent, Chen Qing prefers a centralized country.

If he didn't control the world of death, then he might not have this idea.

But he now holds the power of the death realm in his hands, which makes him feel like he can give it a try. (End of chapter)
