Chapter 1071: Chapter 70: Meeting Emperor Jing, Promotion and Ennoblement!
Under Zhao Xing’s deft hands, a large cigarette materialized.
He lit it and held it out to Tianyang True Monarch.
"Sss~"
Tianyang True Monarch took a deep puff, his face full of rapture, as if floating in transcendence.
After holding it in for quite a while, he slowly exhaled.
"How is it?" Zhao Xing asked.
"Strong enough!" Tianyang True Monarch nodded vigorously.
As a Yin God, he preferred these things the most.
The offerings of dragons compared to those of humans truly pack a different punch.
Besides, this was Dragon Emperor exclusive, even the prestige was unmatched!
With such a halo bonus, combined with its naturally superb effect, the old man was overjoyed.
"I saved a portion just for you." Zhao Xing waved his hand, sending a batch to Tianyang True Monarch’s palace. "Don’t spread the word, or you’ll have Yin Gods coming to mooch your incense."
"Hahaha, why act so sneaky?" Tianyang True Monarch laughed, "Don’t worry, even if Bo Qian comes down, I won’t share!"
This is the filial offering from a disciple’s disciple! Want some? Go find your own!
Seeing the delighted look on Tianyang True Monarch’s face, Zhao Xing was joyous as well.
Tianyang True Monarch had helped him out greatly; back in Tianhe Prefecture, if not for Tianyang True Monarch’s protection, he wouldn’t have dared to act so recklessly.
He even gave him a Shang Tang Order, a crucial key for resurrection later, paired with the Heavenly Soul Fruit, it could amount to a second life!
"Disciple’s disciple, you sure reaped a good harvest at Dragon Court."
"Come, tell your master what exactly happened."
Tianyang True Monarch, eager with interest, insisted Zhao Xing share tales of Dragon Court.
The two began chatting casually in the palace.
"What? Dragon Emperor’s Law, there’s actually such a thing!"
"You exchanged it with Yin Xiu and then summoned Yin Xiu using it? Hahahaha, amazing! That Dragon King probably doesn’t even know what he missed out on."
"Misa Palace? Can manipulate Dragon King’s challenge tasks? Sss..."
"Purple Bone Heavenly Venerate from White Bone Sect paid you tribute with eighteen treasures? White Bone Sect actually has so many good things? That fool must have even pawned his bones, hahaha!"
"..."
Within the palace, laughter barely ceased.
Tianyang True Monarch smoked the ancient dragon saliva fragrance while listening to Zhao Xing’s tales, occasionally glancing at the Kunyuan Divine Hoe; this was truly his happiest and most leisurely moment.
However, time was ultimately limited, Zhao Xing had stayed here for over four days and needed to leave.
"Master, this disciple must depart."
Tianyang True Monarch flicked the ash, somewhat reluctantly.
But he also knew he couldn’t keep Zhao Xing for too long.
"Upon your return, it’s confidential, but since you’re back at Tianyong State, you should see His Majesty and then make plans afterward."
"Yes." Zhao Xing listened obediently.
"I’ve already informed Li Boqian, he is returning, you’ll tear open the passage from this point, and upon exiting, you’ll directly arrive at the Grand Minister of Agriculture Mansion, then listen to his arrangements."
"I’m a timid disciple, meeting His Majesty unexpectedly might cause impropriety, thankfully master is considerate." Zhao Xing flattered.
"Don’t be afraid!" Tianyang True Monarch waved grandly, unconcerned, "His Majesty grew up under my watch, he may not be considered a benevolent ruler, but his heart is definitely not narrow."
Zhao Xing remained silent; the old man could say such things, but he dared not agree.
"Go boldly to meet him, you have Li Boqian, Liu Tianning, and Meng Kun to take care of you above, and below, there’s me and Meng Haishan to back you up."
"As vast as the world is, you can go anywhere!"
...
Tianyong State, Fengjing, East City.
Grand Minister of Agriculture Mansion, Four Seasons Garden.
"Sss Sss Sss~"
A black slit appeared above the Four Seasons Garden, atop the mast, the mysterious bird flag reflected onto the void, spreading its wings, continuously expanding the slit.
Celestial phenomena changed, the yin wind howled.
However, once expanded to a certain extent, twelve golden lights appeared in the sky, like nails fixing the sky canvas.
Preventing the phenomenon from spreading further, around the black slit, peace and sunshine remained.
Grand Minister of Agriculture Li Boqian pointed a finger, a cloud path stretched diagonally, like a life-saving ladder, first directing the Fu Ming Furnace down.
Then followed numerous treasures and materials, as well as a figure sliding down the cloud ladder.
The black slit dissipated, leaving no sound or movement, as if nothing had happened.
"Zhao Xing greets Grand Minister of Agriculture!"
Li Boqian looked at Zhao Xing’s wounds, supporting him up.
"Zhao Xing, you have worked hard."
"No need to worry, it’s just a minor injury." Zhao Xing smiled, "I can heal it with some simple medicine."
"No, when I say ’hard work,’ I mean you must endure a bit longer and not recover yet." Li Boqian gestured to the wounds. "Healing too quickly fails to showcase your achievements."
"You’ve returned with so many treasures and divine artifacts; if you’re all intact, others would think it was easy for you. If it seemed too easy, they wouldn’t appreciate your efforts."
Zhao Xing was taken aback.
He glanced around.
Sure enough, Earth Mirrors surrounded him, precisely focusing on his wounds and the tattered remnants of his vestment robe.
You are truly worthy of being the Grand Minister of Agriculture!
Zhao Xing praised sincerely in his heart.
"Alright, you can change now." Li Boqian handed Zhao Xing a new set of official attire as the camera finished its work.
As Zhao Xing changed, Li Boqian approached the furnace and picked up the Divine Artifact, Kunyuan Divine Hoe.
"It’s truly it."
Li Boqian was extremely excited at this moment.
Hearing about it was one thing, but holding the Kunyuan Divine Hoe in hand truly revealed its charm.
The Kunyuan Divine Hoe is called the Shennong Hoe because it holds unique significance for the Ministry of Sinong.
