Starting from the Greyhound, seventy-two changes.

"Please forgive me, Your Highness."

Inside the big tent, the old marquis, with Guan Qingfeng and Guan Hongluan who had returned to his side, bowed to Yang Xi, who had lost an arm.

Logically speaking, he is a marquis, and the title of lord is not lower than that.

But, that also depends on who you compare with.

Although he is a marquis, he is only a county marquis. The little prince opposite him is a real prince of a county in the imperial court. In the true sense, he can establish his own small court in a county.

Although Prince Yu is still in the capital and has not yet been enfeoffed, that is because the royal family values ​​him very much.

Now that he is in the prime of his life, he has not yet been enfeoffed. In addition, the current emperor has been on the throne for 89 years and has not yet appointed a crown prince. This shows that Prince Yu will have the opportunity to compete for the throne in the future, not to mention that he has the support of the Jiangnan Party.

Therefore, let alone the fact that he was just a county marquis, even if he was a duke, he had to respect Yang Xi.

"You don't have to do this, old lord."

Yang Xi's sleeves were empty, and he said in a deep voice:
"I have calmed down. What happened today has nothing to do with you. You had no choice but to do it. The overall situation of Ping An Dao still needs you to take charge. What you need to do now is to pacify Baojiao County as soon as possible and recover the territory. Only in this way can you be promoted to a higher rank and be granted the title of Duke based on your military merits."

The titles of the Daji era are king, duke, marquis, earl, viscount and baron.

There are two ranks of royal titles: Prince and Duke.

There are three ranks of dukes: duke of the state, duke of a county, and duke of a county.

Marquis 1st class: unified as county marquis

Earl is also a first-class rank: unified as county earl

Barons are also first class: unified as county men

There is a hierarchy of nobility and order, and the treatments enjoyed are also different.

"It's good that you think so, Prince."

The old marquis breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Yang Xi who had lost an arm, and said:

"The prince's injury needs to be treated as soon as possible. Qingfeng, quickly ask the people in the Marquis' Mansion to invite the best doctor in Youzhou to treat the prince's injury and reconnect his arm."

"No need!"

Yang Xi interrupted in a deep voice:

"I plan to return to the capital after daybreak. I won't let the lost arm and immortal weapon stay in Chen Ku's place for too long. Just prepare some Qi-boosting pills for me."

What a shame.

He was a prince of a royal palace and originally wanted to subdue others, but Chen Ku cut off one of his arms and took away his immortal weapon. He must wash away this shame as soon as possible.

Youzhou is a large province in the southwest, 18,000 miles away from the capital. Even if it was a divine horse that could travel a thousand miles a day, it would take two months to reach the capital. However, he practiced the Mingyue magic skill and could fly in the air, traveling ten thousand miles a day, and could return to the capital in about ten days.

After returning to the capital, he would immediately mobilize people to suppress Chen Ku and let him know what it meant that the royal family cannot be insulted.

Waiting for daybreak.

……

Before dawn.

Chen Ku had already returned to Qiulong Mansion, but he did not go home immediately. Instead, he entered the Xiawang Realm and came to the Great Snow Mountain.

"Master Tan was rescued?" Qin Yu was slightly startled at first, and then, as if a huge stone in his heart had finally fallen to the ground, he looked at Chen Ku and said gratefully: "Junior brother, please accept my greetings."

He actually showed great courtesy to Chen Ku in the stone cavity space.

Chen Ku immediately said: "Brother, hurry up and don't do this. This is what I promised you in the beginning."

Qin Yuxian insisted on bowing down, and after performing a salute, he smiled bitterly and said, "Junior brother, you don't know that Lord Tan shoulders the ideals of his brother. The Daji Dynasty has been established for more than 150 years. It seems to be flourishing, but in fact, many signs that are only seen in the last years of a dynasty have appeared. The officials are extravagant and greedy, and thieves and bandits are everywhere in the rivers and lakes. The princes and vassal kings devour the wealth of the world, but do not know how to give back to the world. The fundamental crux lies in the government issues. If they are not rectified, I am afraid that the country will be destroyed one day. Everyone can see these problems, but few people dare to start from reality and truly cure the country. Only Lord Tan has a loyal heart, puts life and death aside, dares to speak out the big problems, and is willing to go deep into the local areas to reform the malpractices.

I admire his actions and ideals very much, so I was willing to go from Qiulong Mansion to Baojiao County, but I didn't expect... he almost died. Now that you saved him, you also saved a glimmer of hope in my heart."

Chen Ku was silent after hearing this.

I don't want to hurt my brother's feelings, but I have to say it. I sighed and said:

"Brother, what you said is all right, but... the power of this Lord Tan is still too weak. What he wants to do cannot be accomplished by a few warriors of the seventh or eighth realm to protect him. At least... he needs powerful people of more than ten realms to protect him."

With just the rebellion in Baojiao County, the Hanshouhou Mansion in the Eight Realms could unreasonably crush Tan Chongrui's ideals with just a little effort, and all the people were captured.

This is just one county, and it's already difficult to make progress. You can imagine how much power is needed to change the world.

"Junior brother, what you said is right, but don't you think that the world needs some people like this?" Qin Yu sighed.

Chen Ku did not deny it and said, "Yes, I recognize Master Tan. If one day I am fortunate enough to be able to cultivate to the fifteenth realm, or even a higher realm, if Master Tan has not changed his ideal by then, I will help him."

Why are there fifteen realms?

Because the most powerful person Chen Ku currently knows is Pei Dongliu, the chivalrous king of the fifteenth realm.

If he really had that kind of strength, he could even fight for the whole world.

"Anyway, I still have to thank you for saving Mr. Tan." Qin Yu breathed a sigh of relief first.

Shan Lingguan did not interrupt Chen Ku and Qin Yu when they were talking first, but he kept staring at Chen Ku. At this moment, he only asked, "Disciple, have you already reached the peak of the sixth realm and are you about to make a breakthrough to the seventh realm?"

He didn't know that Chen Ku's strength was already enough to sweep away all the masters at the seventh level.

But Chen Ku didn't need to pretend in front of the old man. He just said seriously: "This time, besides telling senior brother Tan about the matter, I also want to ask master and senior brothers if they can give me some advice on how to break through the seventh level of Yu Gang and practice the sixth and seventh levels of Hun Tian Ba ​​Ti." "Have you met the requirements to practice the dual level of wind and thunder?" Shan Lingguan widened his eyes.

Chen Ku raised his hand and displayed the movement of the wind and thunder spirit roots in his body, making it seem as if there were roaring wind and thunder in his body: "I went to Yuan Country and got some opportunities. Now I can practice the Five Thunder Art and the Black Wind Art."

"Incredible, incredible."

Shan Lingguan uttered these four words repeatedly. He was just a five-spiritual body back then. In order to change his physique and give it more wind and thunder attributes, he wasted about a hundred years before he successfully refined the Five Thunder Art and the Black Wind Art.

The result is bitter...

It seems that he has been teaching this disciple the Hun Tian Ba ​​Ti for less than a year.

I actually had an adventure.

It's really an incredible blessing.

At that moment, Shan Lingguan did not hide anything and spoke frankly, saying something that would help Chen Ku practice. He said:
"Since you have reached this point, I suggest you go to a place called 'Black Wind Cliff' in Qiulong Mansion. It is a two thousand feet high mountain with a strange black wind blowing on the top. I practiced the 'Black Wind Art' there. And because of the fierce black wind, it can help you practice 'black energy'. When your senior brother entered the seventh realm, he was also tempered by the black wind there and entered the seventh realm of controlling the black energy."

Black Wind Cliff.

Chen Ku showed a look of joy and said, "Disciple has made note of this."

But Shan Lingguan had not finished speaking yet, and continued:

"You can try to practice the Black Wind Art at Black Wind Cliff, but for the Five Thunder Art, you'll have to rely on luck. Thunder-attributed spiritual objects are always rare, but you can try to offer a reward at the Gray Clothes Building. As long as you're willing to pay a price, there's still a chance and probability of getting it."

Gray Building?
Some memories emerged in Chen Ku's mind. Since he came to Qiulong Mansion, he hadn't been to the Gray Building for a long time.

"Thank you, Master, for your guidance."

……

After coming out of the world of chivalrous kings.

Chen Ku didn't rest and went straight home.

What he wanted to confirm most was one thing, that is, since his elder brother Chen Xin came to Ji State on the orders of his sect, then...

Have you come home?

With this thought in mind, he had already arrived near the door of his home.

The first thing he did was to use his thousand-meter-wide spiritual sense to explore the area around his home.

Immediately.

His spiritual sense sensed that there was a person in his home. At this moment, he sensed his spiritual sense, turned his head and looked towards him, and said:

"A consciousness close to the eighth level of the Nascent Soul? Second Brother, has your soul realm reached this level?"

The man spoke in a gentle voice.

Wow!

As he spoke, the door opened with the wind, and Chen Ku's figure instantly appeared in front of him, his eyes reflecting this man who looked somewhat like himself.

He was wearing an ordinary blue shirt, and looked like a poor scholar in the secular world, and did not seem to have any magical powers.

"Sure enough, you're back."

Chen Ku spoke softly, saying:
"You can sense my consciousness. Your adventures in Yuan Country are not simple. Boss, can you tell me what level of Qigong you are at now?"

"Really? You knew I would come back?"

Chen Xin was a little surprised when he heard Chen Ku's words. Then he seemed to have thought of something, stared at Chen Ku, and asked:
"You went to Yuan Kingdom? What did you know?"

Chen Ku replied calmly, "I know a lot. For example, the coalition forces of the six major sects of Yuan Kingdom have stationed troops at the border. You are one of the six spies sent by your Changshou Sect."

"You know all this?" Chen Xin's eyes showed surprise. "It's not surprising that you know about the six major sects' coalition forces, but... you know about me as one of the six spies? You killed a high-level Qigong practitioner from the Yuan Kingdom? Did you search his soul?"

He could sense from Chen Ku's thousand-meter spiritual sense that Chen Ku's soul level was almost comparable to that of an eighth-level Qigong practitioner.

"Don't worry about how I know this." Chen Ku looked at Chen Xin curiously and asked, "I'm more curious about your current state. What realm of Qigong practitioner are you in? Why can't I sense any fluctuations of mana from you?"

I heard Chen Ku asking about this matter again.

Chen Xin was not going to hide it from his brother, and slowly said, "It's very simple, because what I practiced was not some Qi training method, but my own physique - the Yuan Ling Body. There is no realm, only the three stages of the Yuan Ling Body: entry, minor success, and major success. If we have to divide it, then the Yuan Ling Body, as long as it is major success, is the eleventh realm of the Qi trainer, and the eleventh realm of the martial artist."

"Spiritual body?" Chen Ku raised his eyebrows and asked curiously, "Is this one of your physical conditions?"

"Well, I fell into a river in Yuan Country and was rescued by the Changshou Sect. They tested my qualifications and said that my physique is a 'Yuan Ling body' and that I am naturally close to heaven and earth. As long as I open the secret door in my body, I can mobilize the Yuan Qi and spiritual energy of heaven and earth at will. Once I achieve great success, I can challenge the eleventh realm, so they directly accepted me as their true disciple." Chen Xin said, thinking for a while.

He originally thought that he was different, but now it seems that his younger brother Chen Ku’s cultivation speed is not slower than mine. Maybe he also has a special physique?

"Second brother? What's your physical condition?" He looked at Chen Ku inquiringly.

When Chen Ku heard Chen Xin talking about his spiritual body, the corners of his mouth twitched. When he heard him ask about his physical condition, he took a deep breath and said:

"...Just think of me as a tyrant."

He is now cultivating the Hun Tian Ba ​​Ti, and wants to achieve the Ba Ti in the future, so how can his physique not be taken into account?
Chen Xin said to himself: "Sure enough, our family's bloodline is not simple. I came back this time to test Hu Zi. Although he is not as good as my Yuan Ling, he is also a spiritual body. If he practices Qi and cultivates spiritual energy before forming a golden elixir, his practice speed will be very fast. Now you, the second brother, have a tyrant body. Could it be... that our family has produced some great power in ancient times?"

Chen Ku was surprised: "Hu Zi also has a special physique? A spiritual body?" (End of this chapter)
