Marquis of Shang

Chapter 84
Chen Qingxiang knew that this was just an illusion caused by his sudden increase in strength.

However, Chen Qingxiang felt that his own strength still needed to be tested.

So from the gray elephant ears, I took out three egg-sized yellow copper essences that I bought at the caravan when I was in Huangshi Xiaoyi, but threw them in the corner to eat ashes.

One in each hand, slowly tightening the grip.

Immediately, in the two hands, the yellow-grade high-quality copper essence, which can refine high-quality blood vessels and is more than ten times harder than ordinary iron, began to deform.

But when Chen Qingxiang's power exceeds a certain level.

His Yuanjing instinct, which is not bad when he sees the gods, can sense that his body is beginning to be damaged.

And at this moment, the spiritual aura radiating from the sixteen elephant soldiers inside and outside their bodies circulated slightly, and they began to guard Chen Qingxiang so that it would not be injured due to excessive force.

Sensing this scene, Chen Qingxiang continued to increase his strength.

After a short breath, the copper essence that reached the top grade of yellow grade flowed out from the cracks between the five fingers like mud.

The real grip is like mud.

Looking at the copper essence mud in his hands, Chen Qingxiang, on a whim, combined the irregular copper essence and the intact copper essence together.

Slowly knead the three copper essences together like kneading mud, and knead them into a ball.

It was just when Chen Qingxiang's enthusiasm for playing was on the rise, when the strength of the temporarily blessed elephant soldiers reached the time of ten breaths.

The strength of the elephant soldiers faded in an instant.

The whole body strength returned to the original level.

As the power faded, the aura of the elephant soldier protecting his body also disappeared without a trace.

Chen Qingxiang didn't feel any weakness or bad influence on himself.

He could only notice that the sixteen totem elephant soldiers in his body were all in a weak state at this moment.

It's like fighting for a few days and nights, exhausting the transition, and it takes time to recover slowly.

……

"Blessing ten breaths of time, the sixteen elephant soldiers will be consumed in a short period of time. It seems that it takes time to practice this [Elephant Soldiers Sacred Mantra]."

Playing with the copper ball in his hand, sensing his own situation and the state of the elephant soldiers, Chen Qingxiang muttered to himself.

"Five levels [Elephant Soldier Sacred Mantra], every time one level is upgraded, the duration can be increased by five times."

"Now I'm just in the first level, and I need to practice to the second level to reduce the consumption of transformation and increase the time for myself to strengthen the elephant soldier's power."

[Elephant Soldier Sacred Mantra] cultivation promotion conditions.

The practice method is very simple.

It is simply the number of times to bless the strength of the elephant soldiers.

Bless once, practice to the first level.

Blessing ten times, double.

Hundred times, triple.

A thousand times, four times.

Reaching [-] times is the time to practice the fifth weight.

However, in the perception of the body, it is only a one-time blessing, and it takes three days of cultivation to recover the sixteen totem elephant soldiers.

If you want to bless it ten times to reach the second stage of the Elephant Soldiers Sacred Mantra without interruption, it will take at least a month, and it won't be fast.

It can only be practiced once every three days, and the cultivation progress of [Elephant Soldier Holy Mantra] is slowly increasing.

……

After the totem elephant art of war, all sixteen elephant soldiers have been trained.

After more than a month, Chen Qingxiang began to process the spiritual crystals and divine body beads harvested from the spiritual realm.

In the Xuanxiang space.

Chen Qingxiang directly cut two wounds on both sides of his stomach, and then put a spiritual mind crystal and a divine body bead into it.

Afterwards, Qi and blood circulated to seal the wound.

It's no surprise that Chen Qingxiang looked at the two bulging bumps on his stomach and sensed the motionless Spiritual Mind Crystal and Spiritual Body Bead in his body.

This barbaric and ancient method needs time to be honed bit by bit, and it will take at least a few months before it will slowly begin to bear fruit.

……

On March [-], Chen Qingxiang received a box and a roll of bamboo slips from Chen Xuling and the others.

Opening the chest reveals a manipulative head.

Chen Qingxiang opened the scroll of bamboo slips and looked at it carefully.

After dozens of breaths, Chen Qingxiang placed the bamboo slips with a calm expression.

From the bamboo slips, Chen Qingxiang knew that most of the barren people and savages gathered in the middle and low land, which was more than 300 miles away from Huangshi Xiaoyi, had been captured.

This head is the head of Xiong Qiu, the lord of the middle and low.

The barren people and savages were arrested, the lord of the middlings was killed, and that middling land was completely wiped out.

After watching the head for a few seconds, Chen Qingxiang closed the box and fell into deep thought.

"This can be regarded as one of the murderers, just to see if he will speed up his cultivation out of thin air this time?"

……

After several days in a row, Chen Qingxiang didn't wait for the speed of cultivation to increase, but instead waited for a troublesome thing.

March 24.

One of the six officials, the [-]-year-old Qiuguan Da Si Kou, formally resigned from the position of Da Si Kou after becoming Da Si Kou for nearly a year.

In Xuanxiangfang Kingdom, many scholars and bureaucrats enfeoffed land, and the six officials of the world, spring, summer, autumn and winter, would resign their positions as six officials for at most one year.

This is not an express rule, but it is indeed a hidden rule established by convention.

The same is true in Qinghe, where the six officials can reign for at most one Jiazi.

……

The next day, March 25.

Above the court meeting of the National Service Hall.

Following the resignation of Qiu Guanchang and Si Kou yesterday, Tian Guanzhang, Di Guanzhang, and Xia Guanzhang, who had already prepared candidates, immediately spoke and recommended one after another.

Tian Xuzhong, the governor of Tianguan Otsuka, said to Chen Weiyao, a scholar-bureaucrat: "Your Majesty, Yishi Yichenyuan, who has served as a minor commander for 20 years, should be promoted to a major commander."

The local official, Da Situ Chen Weiming, immediately refuted and recommended:

"My lord, Yi Chenyuan has served as a young commander for [-] years and has done nothing. Not only can he not be promoted to the senior commander, but the position of the young commander must also be relinquished, and he needs to choose another talented person."

"I recommend Chen Chouzi. He has served as the official of Daxing for ten years and has made many achievements. He should be promoted to the rank of Da Sikou."

Xia Guan chief Sima, the only female among the six officials, Chen Chenxiu, retorted with a clear voice:
"Your Majesty, since Chen Chou took the post of Da Xing official for ten years, he has committed many unjust, false and wrong cases, which has already aroused public resentment. He must not be the chief criminal."

"I recommend Chen Sixu, the prison minister, to work hard and live half a year, and he should be promoted to the chief commander!"

"Nonsense, Chen Sixu is old-fashioned and doesn't know how to adapt, so he can't be a big commander."

Three of Qinghe's six officials quarreled with each other in the Bangfu Hall.

……

Chen Qingxiang continued to make soy sauce this time, silently listening to the quarrel between the three, and also thinking about the three officials, their respective official positions and personal information.

In this world, there are three officials under the chief commander.

Shao Si Kou, Da Xing Guan, and Da Prison Minister.

Shao Si Kou, as the name suggests, is the deputy of Da Si Kou.

The Da Xing official is in charge of punishment. In this mythical world, the power to handle punishment is only under the rank of the chief criminal.
