Let's start by analyzing the sun

Umi Realm.

Eastern Li War Zone.

Ninghai War Fortress.

Inside the Warhawk Legion's operations hall.

Female Mystic Lan Jiayao sat blankly in a comfortable chair, staring listlessly at a document on the table, her mind filled with shock.

Just now.

This Warhawk Legion, on an expedition to another world, had routinely received a briefing from Qinghan Mystic Palace.

The content of the briefing had truly startled the female Mystic.

Before Commander Cheng returned to the Mystic Palace, he had clearly stated that he was only conducting an important experiment, so how did it result in a Vice Palace Master and a Guangyuan Divine Envoy?

Previously, he was the Legion's full-time commander, and she was the deputy commander, nominally considered half a superior.

Now that Commander Cheng had become Vice Palace Master Cheng, overseeing several institutions including Heavenly Banyan Hall, he had truly become her superior.

Even more unbelievable was that Commander Cheng had single-handedly reversed the strategy set by the Divine-level bigwigs!

Rumors had spread from the war zone's higher-ups that reinforcements from the other three small worlds would soon enter Umi Realm on a large scale to occupy this realm as soon as possible.

Even the female Mystic, who always paid attention to etiquette, couldn't help but feel the urge to swear.

This was too damn much!

Next to her.

The Mystics were all discussing it with amazed expressions.

"A Mystic can actually serve as the Vice Palace Master of the Mystic Palace, overseeing the Guangyuan Divine City of this Mystic Palace. Has there ever been such a precedent?"

"Don't even mention Guangyuan Divine City, I'm afraid there's no precedent in other Divine Cities either!"

"Qinghan Mystic Palace has been upgraded to a High-level Mystic Palace. The Divine City governs ninety-six Mystic Palaces, and only seven High-level Mystic Palaces, including our own, exist."

"Taian Mystic Pavilion has been directly abolished and officially established as Taian Branch Palace. Taian had established several branch halls before, and everyone jokingly called them small Mystic Palaces. This time, it's a real small Mystic Palace."

"The so-called 'small Mystic Palace' is basically Commander Cheng's territory, decided by his word alone, right? As a Mystic, he wields such great power, it's truly enviable!"

"Vice Palace Master 'Kou Zhizhong' has been dismissed and returned to the Divine City for another appointment. Many Mystic Master adults have adjusted their positions. A lot has happened in the Mystic Palace recently."

"Tsk tsk, we followed the Warhawk Legion on an expedition to Umi Realm, it seems we missed a great show!"

Anyone with a little bit of insight could smell the aura of internal power struggles from the "Vice Palace Master's dismissal".

From the results, Commander Cheng had obviously won a great victory, while Kou Xuandu had suffered a crushing defeat and slunk away in disgrace.

Soon.

The topic shifted towards gossip.

"By the way! How many Origin Mystic Crystals can a Vice Palace Master get each year?"

"Initial-stage, mid-stage, and high-stage Xuandu get four hundred, six hundred, and eight hundred Origin Mystic Crystals respectively. Palace Masters and Vice Palace Masters get an additional three hundred and one hundred and fifty. Commander Cheng is only a mid-stage Mystic, it's really hard to calculate."

"The rank of Guangyuan Divine Envoy is equivalent to the full-time Palace Master of the Mystic Palace. Palace Master Yun is a mid-stage Xuandu with an annual salary of nine hundred Origin Mystic Crystals. Commander Cheng should get no less than that amount."

"Have you forgotten that our Mystic Palace has become a High-level Mystic Palace? The annual salary increase for the Palace Master position is at least six hundred Origin Mystic Crystals."

"That's right! Commander Cheng can receive at least one thousand two hundred Origin Mystic Crystals a year!"

Lan Jiayao listened to the discussion, a trace of envy flashing in her beautiful eyes.

She was a mid-stage Mystic and the full-time Hall Master of Heavenly Banyan Hall, with an annual salary of sixty Origin Mystic Crystals. At this moment, she couldn't help but feel a little unbalanced.

In addition.

The female Mystic was 100% certain that with the great achievements Commander Cheng had made, his salary would definitely be more than one thousand two hundred Origin Mystic Crystals.

The Firehawk had already alarmed the Divine Monarch, how could the reward be equivalent to just a full-time Palace Master?

A Mystic suddenly exclaimed: "I'm also a mid-stage Mystic, and I also have the title of steward, but I can only receive nine Origin Mystic Crystals each year. Commander Cheng's one year is worth a hundred years of mine."

This sentence immediately triggered a low burst of laughter.

"Old Gao, how can you be embarrassed to compare yourself with Commander Cheng?"

"Commander Cheng created something like the Firehawk, which greatly enhances the strength of the Wanhao Clan. Even if you were given a thousand years, you might not be able to do it. I think Commander Cheng should get ten thousand Origin Mystic Crystals."

"Don't say ten thousand, even if Commander Cheng gets one hundred thousand, it wouldn't be too much."

Lan Jiayao saw that these people were getting more and more outrageous, and couldn't bear to listen any longer, so she deliberately coughed lightly.

The discussion in the hall disappeared cleanly in an instant.

The female Mystic pondered for a moment and instructed: "Prepare the communication Mystic Array, I want to congratulate Vice Palace Master Cheng and report on the recent situation of the Warhawk Legion."

Her superior was becoming more and more successful, and even favored by the Divine Monarch, she felt that it was necessary to be more proactive.

"Yes!"

*

Soon.

In a small palace.

A special Mystic Array was activated.

The Mystic Array was engraved with several times more Mystic patterns than ordinary communication Mystic Arrays, and a large number of beautiful patterns resembling spiritual leaves were carved around it.

"Buzz~"

The vibration sound was also a level higher than ordinary Mystic Arrays.

In an instant.

A large number of light green spots suddenly spewed out from the center of the Mystic Array, quickly condensing into the shape of a token.

It was—the Banyan Realm Communication Token.

To conduct cross-realm communication, one must rely on this magical Mystic artifact.

Of course.

This did not mean that the Banyan Realm Communication Token was here.

Rather, this Mystic Array had crossed vast distances of space and time to successfully connect to the Banyan Realm Communication Token in Commander Cheng's hand.

After a breath.

"Poof!"

With a soft sound.

The token phantom shattered into countless green spots of light, which danced in the air for a while, then transformed into a relatively blurred image.

Lan Jiayao was about to say "Greetings, Vice Palace Master Cheng", but suddenly swallowed the words at her lips.

Although the figure in the image was not clear, judging from the outline, it was clearly a curvaceous and beautiful woman.

Most surprisingly, on a large desk next to the woman, a table full of Origin Mystic Crystals was piled up.

Just a rough estimate, the number was probably no less than ten thousand!

Not one thousand!

But ten thousand!

The female Mystic had lived for hundreds of years, and it was the first time in her life that she had seen so many sparkling Origin Mystic Crystals. She felt a sense of dizziness.

Although she had already guessed that the rewards Commander Cheng received would definitely not be small.

But witnessing it with her own eyes, she was still shocked.

The beautiful woman in the image was holding several Origin Mystic Crystals in each hand, and a delicate metal box was placed next to her, seemingly counting the quantity.

At this moment.

The two sides looked at each other, both with bewildered expressions.

The female Mystic came back to her senses and tentatively asked: "May I ask if you are Miss Qian Qingqing?"

The woman in the image bowed and quickly introduced herself: "I am not Miss Qingqing, I am Vice Palace Master Cheng's personal secretary, Xie You.

"When Vice Palace Master Cheng took office as the Chief Executive Officer, he appointed me as the Executive Officer's secretary. Later, Your Excellency went to the Mystic Palace and sent me to Taian Mystic Pavilion.

"Now that Taian Mystic Pavilion has been merged into Taian Small Mystic Palace, Vice Palace Master Cheng transferred me to the Small Mystic Palace and still serve Your Excellency."

For some reason.

Lan Jiayao looked at this seductive figure and couldn't help but "hmph" in her heart when she heard the word "serve".

Could it be that she serves during the day and continues to serve at night?

But the female Mystic was not surprised.

After all, which of the many male Mystics' residences in the Mystic Palace did not have a pile of beautiful women? A dozen was considered few!

Xie You asked respectfully again: "May I ask if you are Deputy Commander Lan of the Warhawk Legion?"

Lan Jiayao nodded reservedly: "That's right!"

Xie You said quickly: "Deputy Commander, you should be planning to contact Vice Palace Master, right? Vice Palace Master has just gone to the factory, I will immediately have someone report to Vice Palace Master."

She bowed respectfully again and quickly walked out of the field of view.

Lan Jiayao shook her head slightly and muttered in a low voice: "Damn it! Could it be that Commander Cheng is not here, but the cross-realm communication can be connected?"

An incredible guess popped into the female Mystic's mind: "Could it be that Commander Cheng has made some modifications to the Mystic Array?"

If it were someone else, even a Mystic Master, it would be difficult to modify such a complex cross-realm communication Mystic Array.

But Commander Cheng's abilities are so amazing, it's very possible!

Besides, this is also very much in line with his style of doing things.

Whether there is something to do or not, he always has to toss around a few times.

Soon.

Xie You reappeared, speaking respectfully: "Deputy Commander, please wait a moment, Vice Palace Master has already sensed that the Mystic Array communication has been activated and is on his way back."

Lan Jiayao thought to herself, "As expected."

Commander Cheng really tampered with the Mystic Array, allowing it to be activated spontaneously.

Afterwards.

The two fell into a cold silence.

The female Mystic's gaze involuntarily drifted towards the Origin Mystic Crystals piled on the table, once again admiring this rare scene.

Xie You keenly noticed this scene and said in a timely manner: "This is the Origin Mystic Crystal that the Hall Master of the Tianlu Hall of the Mystic Palace personally sent to Vice Palace Master.

"Including a part of Vice Palace Master's salary for this year and the special rewards given by the Divine City for the Firehawk."

Lan Jiayao couldn't hold back her gossipy heart and asked: "How many Origin Mystic Crystals are there in total?"

Xie You looked embarrassed.

Without Vice Palace Master's permission, how dare she reveal the detailed number without authorization?

Just then.

A green potted plant in the scene suddenly rubbed its blue-purple leaves, making a sound similar to human speech.

"Thanks to the love of General Lan Yun, a total of sixteen thousand have been bestowed!"

The female Mystic was startled at first, then felt her head "buzz".

Heavens!

So many?!

The potted plant rubbed out the sound again: "Sorry, Deputy Commander Lan, communicating in this way is not a polite thing. I expect to be back in two minutes."

Lan Jiayao had already guessed that the potted plant was being remotely controlled, and just shook her head and said: "It doesn't matter!"

In fact.

The female Mystic's guess was not wrong at all. The Guangyuan Divine Envoy's salary was indeed more than one thousand two hundred Origin Mystic Crystals, but a staggering two thousand.

The achievement of creating the Firehawk brought an additional fourteen thousand Origin Mystic Crystals.

This huge reward, which could be called a "huge sum", would take even the full-time Palace Master of the Mystic Palace more than a hundred years to accumulate.

All in all.

From now on, Cheng Han has truly achieved Origin Mystic Crystal freedom.
