inside the room.
Jiang Che sat in front of the bed, his consciousness flashed, and he quickly looked into his mind.
A golden ball of reward light appeared above the demon book.
"Should be able to reveal something good..."
Jiang Che's eyes burned brightly, he took a deep breath and immediately began to withdraw the reward.
The light flickered, and in the next breath, there was a "boom" in the room.
A red copper furnace appeared in front of him.
On the copper furnace, Dao patterns are engraved, and the luster is faintly visible.
A spiritual power filled the air.
"Alchemy furnace..."
Looking at the red copper furnace in front of me, there is no doubt that this should be the alchemy furnace.
Judging from the spiritual power, it is still an alchemy furnace at the top level of spiritual treasures.
The dark font appears in the eyes: Chi Yuan Dan Furnace, the ultimate psychic treasure, which can greatly increase the chance of successful alchemy.
After the information was revealed, Jiang Che also came back to his senses, and with a thought, he put the Chi Yuan Dan Furnace into his storage bag.
He doesn't know how to alchemy yet.
If there is an opportunity in the future, he will also learn.
After all, alchemists are still very popular.
It's a money-making machine!
More than 30% of Daozong's finances come from alchemists.
Putting away the Scarlet Yuan Pill Furnace, Jiang Che drew the reward again.
The dim light flickered, and a black treasure armor appeared in his eyes.
It is filled with spiritual power and is also a top-quality spiritual treasure.
Jiang Che took a look and put away the treasure armor again.
…
In a matter of moments, Jiang Che had withdrawn all twenty-two rewards.
Magic weapons, elixirs, spells, and a complete collection of weapon refining were revealed.
Various.
Jiang Che counted them one by one and saved those that were not needed for the time being.
If you don’t use it, you can sell it.
The magic weapons that were revealed were all top-grade spiritual treasures and were equally valuable.
What concerned Jiang Che the most was one of the extremely special magic weapons.
Mountain and river map!
The only magic weapon that surpasses the best spiritual treasure has reached the Taoist level.
Although it is only a low-grade Taoist weapon, its power is not comparable to that of Lingbao.
This is a space magic weapon.
Without mountains, rivers, heaven and earth, it is a small world of its own.
Unlike storage bags, mountain and river maps are not just for storing things.
Again, this is a magic weapon of extraordinary power.
By offering a map of mountains and rivers, the enemy can be blocked and compressed into the image in the map.
Become an object in the picture.
Space compression, extraordinary power!
However, it is not easy to activate this treasure.
The Mountain and River Map requires a lot of energy and has certain requirements on the soul level.
Fortunately, Jiang Che's soul met the standards and he could try to practice sacrifice.
If the low-grade Taoist weapon is successfully refined, it will also become his most powerful magic weapon.
After a thorough inventory, Jiang Che immediately began to refine this low-grade Taoist artifact.
The power is extraordinary, but... it is not easy to practice.
Jiang Che is also patient.
If the sacrifice is successful, going to Youzhou will also be his big killer!
The power of a low-grade Taoist weapon is absolutely earth-shaking. Even if it cannot exert its full power, it is still quite astonishing.
——
Five days passed quickly.
Hongwuhou Mansion.
Jiang Che basically didn't step out of the Hou Mansion.
In addition to offering sacrifices to the Mountains and Rivers Map, he also spent the remaining time refining and absorbing two bottles of demon blood.
Successfully pushed forward, the internal organs, flesh and blood, muscles and bones were strengthened again.
The realm has also advanced to the late stage of Grand Master.
With the burst of energy and blood, his power can reach the terrifying level of eighty elephants.
The basic power of the Martial Saint is the power of ten dragons, which is the power of one hundred elephants.
It is easy to cut off a river and break it apart.
Step into the realm of transcendence.
His power is only twenty times stronger than that of the Martial Saint.
Of course, the real disparity is still very huge.
The power of the ten dragons is just the basic power of the Martial Saint.
The martial arts saint is not just bragging, the real strength he unleashes is also very powerful.
In five days, Jiang Hao also completely broke through the master level and entered the realm of junior martial saint.
The study room of the Hou Mansion.
Jiang Che and Jiang Hao stepped into it.
In front of the bookcase, Jiang Zhen was looking at the folds of the book. The two of them stepped into the study and came to Jiang Zhen.
"Father!"
They both saluted at the same time.
Jiang Zhen also put down the book in his hand and looked at the two of them.
Falling on Jiang Hao, a strange color flashed in his eyes.
"You have entered the junior level of martial arts. It seems that this secret method is indeed terrifying."
Jiang Zhen spoke slowly.
Jiang Hao also had a smile on his face: "Father, this is all thanks to the opportunity of my third brother. If not for this, I might not be able to enter the realm of the Martial Saint in a few years."
Jiang Che smiled and said: "The secret method is just an aid. My eldest brother is already gifted. Otherwise, he would not have reached the level of martial saint so quickly."
"I guess my second brother has also entered the realm of martial saint."
Jiang Hao said.
"Absolutely the same as you." Jiang Zhen said.
"In this way, the strength of the family has suddenly grown a lot, and the status of the eldest brother and the second brother in the court will be more stable in the future." Jiang Che said.
"Haha, after quelling the rebellion in Youzhou, I can become the deputy commander."
Jiang Hao smiled.
"Definitely." Jiang Che nodded.
"Don't go to the Demon Slayer Division for the time being to avoid attracting attention. There are still many eyes in the court."
Jiang Zhen said slowly.
"Understood." The two nodded.
"Let's set off today. The situation in Youzhou has worsened. You two must be careful."
Jiang Zhen said.
"Yes, father, let's go first." The two said in unison.
Jiang Zhen nodded slightly, and then Jiang Che and Jiang Hao exited the study.
Seeing the two people leaving, Jiang Zhen's eyes flashed and he picked up the book on the table again and started reading.
…
"Master, won't you stay a few more days?"
At the door of the Hou Mansion, Qing Luo looked at Jiang Che with a look of reluctance.
"I will come back when I have time. Don't be lazy. The method of practice given to you must be practiced diligently."
Looking at Qingluo, Jiang Che said.
Qingluo nodded and said: "Young master, don't worry, I will practice well and live up to your expectations."
"Well, let's go back. Let's go first." Jiang Che nodded, and then stepped onto the prepared Wind God Horse. In an instant, he rode the horse and Jiang Hao and disappeared from the gate of the Hou Mansion.
…
Outside Yujing City, the two figures appeared on the official road.
After leaving the capital completely, the two people immediately dismounted. The servants who had been waiting here immediately stepped forward and led the two wind horses, and followed them towards the Hou Mansion.
"Buzz——"
Watching the servant leave, Jiang Che and Jiang Hao revealed their spiritual swords at the same time. The swords rose into the air and disappeared instantly.
Although Jiang Hao majored in martial arts, he also practiced some immortal methods, and his realm was around the early stage of the True Inspiration Realm.
Flying with a sword to Youzhou is also faster.
——
In the clouds, mountains and rivers appear below.
The two of them flew with their swords and were now out of the range of Yujing City.
As Jiang Che hurried on, he was also looking at the information Jiang Hao gave him.
Evil cults are rampant in Youzhou, the main one being the Black Lotus Sect.
Several towns under its jurisdiction have been attacked to varying degrees.
The situation is dangerous.
The scope has also expanded a lot.
Although the local government tried its best to fight, they were defeated.
This situation is rare within the scope of Daqian.
But now, it is not uncommon.
In addition to Youzhou, there are also evil cults and demons causing trouble in other places in Daqian, but the movements are not as big as in Youzhou.
The situation in Youzhou worsened, and the Blackwater Army had to step in to solve it.
The forces stationed in other places are too scattered, and only the Blackwater Army has the strength to wipe them out in one go.
"Brother, the cult is so unscrupulous, why doesn't the imperial court take action to completely annihilate it? Leaving such a scourge behind is tantamount to a cancer."
Jiang Che said as he walked.
Jiang Hao smiled and said: "Third brother, some things are not as easy as you think. The support behind these three major cults is very strong. Even the court is wary of it. In addition, the situation around Daqian is not ironclad, so it cannot be done all at once." Completely annihilate the three major evil cults in one breath."
"Making even the imperial court afraid?"
Jiang Che frowned.
It seems that these three major cults are not as easy as he imagined.
"And another thing is that among these three major cults, there are also people from the imperial court who are behind them."
Jiang Hao said slowly.
What?
Are people from the imperial court supporting the cult behind the scenes?
Jiang Che's brows furrowed.
"Yes." Jiang Hao nodded and continued: "The external power and the internal power are combined, so these evil cult monsters will die without freezing!"
"And for some reason, these cults are able to use diversion, so they exist today."
"So, these three major cults are approved by Emperor Qian?"
Jiang Che's eyes flashed.
"It can be understood that way, but the specific details are another matter." Jiang Hao said.
"The wish of Emperor Qian is naturally to annihilate them in one go. However, even Emperor Qian has many constraints."
"If this continues, if it goes out of control, wouldn't it mean that Da Qian will be ruined?"
Jiang Che said with serious eyes.
Jiang Hao smiled and said: "Second brother, you are overthinking. Even if the imperial court has the strength to support it, the top ten immortal sects will not ignore anything."
"The troubled times are not conducive to the development of the Immortal Sect, and the people in the court are not fools. They can be lenient within a certain range, but the suppression must continue, otherwise, your eldest brother will not be ordered to hang him."
"Moreover, all parties have restraints, and it is impossible for one company to dominate."
Jiang Che was silent, looking at the scenery passing by at a rapid speed, his heart stirred up.
This is a big deal...
It’s not as stable as it seems!
Jiang Che really didn't expect that there were still people in the court who supported the cult.
Although what Jiang Hao said was reasonable, this method was really dangerous.
Is the cult demon really so easy to control?
If the whole thing is leveled, the national destiny will be improved, isn't it good?
Do you have to commit suicide?
Jiang Che didn't understand.
Of course, maybe there was a reason he didn't know.
"Brother, there are other forces behind the three major cults you mentioned. Who else is there besides the imperial court?"
Jiang Che came back to his senses and said.
"I don't know. It's the demonic forces from other continents. It is precisely because of the support of this external force that the three major cults have been able to exist for so long."
Jiang Hao said slowly.
"In that case...the one the imperial court is afraid of is probably the demonic force behind it, right?"
Jiang Che smacked his lips and said.
"About that, maybe so." Jiang Hao nodded.
Jiang Che looked up at the sky, feeling complicated in his heart.
It seems that what he thought before was too simple.
——
A few days passed quickly.
Jiang Che and Jiang Hao also arrived in Youzhou.
For a few days, Jiang Che worshiped and refined the mountain and river map while rushing on the road.
So far, he has only practiced 80% of the sacrifices.
The difficulty of refining Taoist artifacts and refining spiritual treasures is not available in Japanese.
However, even though he was only 80% refined, Jiang Che was still able to exert part of the power of the Mountain and River Map.
The hole card also increased by one.
If a low-grade Taoist weapon is caught unexpectedly, it will definitely have incredible effects.
——
Youzhou, Yuandu City.
This is the capital city of Youzhou and one of the three great cities in Youzhou.
Youzhou is located in the northwest.
There are many sandy hilly areas, some grasslands, and few mountains.
Outside Yuandu City, two figures appeared on the official road outside the city.
It was Jiang Che and both of them.
On the spacious official road, there are many carriages and pedestrians.
There is also a constant flow of people at the entrance and exit of the city gate.
The city wall, which is more than ten feet high, still has some traces of the war on it.
From a distance, it looks like a majestic black beast crawling on the vast land. It is very spectacular and touching!
"Yuandu is indeed majestic!"
Jiang Che looked at the city wall in the distance and couldn't help but admire it.
The eyes of the sky opened, and the majestic fire of the mortal world covered the void of Yuandu.
The powerful red dust fire burned blazingly, and the sky was filled with red light.
"One of the three main cities in Youzhou is also the capital, so of course it's spectacular."
Jiang Hao on the side said.
"Let's go and enter the city first."
Jiang Hao spoke and walked towards Yuandu. Jiang Che came back to his senses and followed him towards Yuandu.
At the entrance of the city, people flowed like a sea.
Jiang Che and the two quickly passed the city gate and entered the big city of Yuandu.
The spacious streets are lined with shops and various high-rise buildings.
The cries of vendors are endless, highlighting the prosperity of Yuandu.
The scene of the prosperous world of mortals seems to be different from what Jiang Che thought.
But then I thought about it, if even the capital of Youzhou is in a state of desolation and lacks any prosperity, I am afraid that the entire Youzhou has basically fallen.
Even though other places in Youzhou are not very stable, the capital city is stable and generally remains the same.
If the capital city is destroyed, then it will probably be a complete defeat.
If the imperial court just sits back and does nothing, it will not be far from ruining the country.
Although some forces secretly support the cult, that is within a certain range.
The three major cults are more like chess pieces.
However, this "chess piece" is not very peaceful.
…
A moment later, in Yuandu, in front of the city lord's mansion, Jiang Che and his two men appeared.
"The Commander-in-Chief of the Blackwater Army, Jiang Hao, wants to meet with the Lord of Yuandu City, please report as soon as possible!"
Jiang Hao stepped forward, his voice sounded, and he showed a purple token.
Upon seeing this, the guards of the City Lord's Mansion immediately became serious, glanced at the two of them, and said, "Sir, please wait a moment. I will go and ask for the City Lord immediately."
Jiang Hao nodded slightly. Seeing this, Jiang Che said, "Brother, could the Blackwater Army be stationed in the city lord's palace?"
"Of course not." Jiang Hao shook his head and said, "But I need the city lord's information and information to understand it thoroughly, and then go with the city lord's mansion."
"That's it."
Jiang Che nodded, basically understanding.
Soon, a middle-aged man wearing a black mysterious robe appeared in the city lord's mansion surrounded by several guards.
Jiang Che also cast his eyes on this middle-aged man wearing a black mysterious robe.
Between his brows, there was an invisible majesty and the aura of a superior person.
There is no doubt that this should be the lord of Yuandu City.
The status of the capital city lord is not comparable to that of ordinary city lords.
Second only to the Governor of Youzhou, he is equivalent to the Deputy Governor.
His strength is also extraordinary, comparable to Jiang Hao's cultivation level, and he is also a junior martial saint.
