Chapter 52: I led the revival of spiritual energy? (Please collect and read)
Just when the entire Dayu was in chaos because Yang Xuansu and his entire clan were executed and Xu Mu's army was defeated, another imperial edict was issued from the Dayu Palace.

October 11, the fourth year of the Shoei era.

The emperor issued an edict: "On the occasion of my 30th birthday, it is appropriate to issue a special list of honorary candidates to benefit scholars. Zhuo will hold a special examination on November 15 of this year to fulfill my intention of selecting talents."

"Anyone who has passed the imperial examination can go to the capital to take part in the examination. The travel expenses and other expenses will be covered by the court!"

At the same time, an imperial decree was also issued to regulate the military examination.

The content is very simple, which is to recruit heroes from all over the world to come to Beijing to participate in the martial arts examination.

As long as you rank in the top 100, you can freely choose to serve in any military position in the Dayu court.

The Imperial Guards, the Imperial Guards, the Border Guards, the Embroidered Uniform Guards, the Imperial Household Department, and even the Longxiang Army!
Those who win the top three places can get close to the emperor and also get the position of general!

The champion of martial arts can lead an army alone and be awarded a title!
As soon as these two imperial edicts were issued, they immediately set off an uproar in the entire literary and martial arts circles of Dayu.

"Your Majesty is going to hold an imperial examination? That's great! Hahaha, I finally have a chance..."

"November 15th, there's only a little over a month left. If I leave now, I can still make it."

"The six northern states are in constant turmoil. I think the southern scholars have a better chance in this year's imperial examination!"

"There is also a martial arts examination? Warriors can actually take part in the imperial examination?"

"The emperor's grace is great..."

"What's the use of those peasants? They dare to participate in the imperial examination with scholars like us..."

"Hush! I heard from the capital that the civil and military examinations are held separately, and the two groups are not together."

"Military examination? It seems that there is no one left in the court, and Your Majesty has no choice but to make this arrangement."

"Martial arts examination? This is the opportunity I've been waiting for. As long as I can enter the imperial court, hahahaha..."

The entire martial arts world, the literati world, or the entire Dayu court was discussing this matter.

Even from several small countries around, many people secretly sneaked into Dayu, wanting to participate in this year's special examination and military examination.

While the whole world was discussing the matter, there was no movement in the imperial palace, which was at the center of the storm.

Both the civil and military examinations have been handed over to the cabinet to handle, with everyone doing their own job, and the government's orders are well communicated.

As for the struggles among powerful officials and aristocratic families caused by the special imperial examination, Zheng Yi ignored them.

Inside the Qiankun Hall, Zheng Yi sat on the dragon throne with a calm and steady aura.

A fat, blood-red little bug, about the size of a finger, was crawling on his fingers.

Moonlight Gu.

This is the Moonlight Gu that he had cultivated with 25 drops of blood essence and more than three months of moonlight essence.

No.

It would be more appropriate to call it Blood Moon Gu.

Whether in size, color, appearance, or aura, it far exceeds the Moonlight Gu recorded in the Nanyue people's Gu training books.

Faster and stronger!
Although he had never conducted an experiment, Zheng Yi could vaguely sense that the Blood Moon Gu could easily kill a Grandmaster warrior.

It can even deal with warriors in the innate realm.

A tiny poisonous insect is so powerful.

Not to mention, this Blood Moon Gu is a female insect and can reproduce on its own. It has already laid hundreds of Blood Moon Gu eggs, but unfortunately none of them have hatched yet.

"Your Majesty~"

Liu Chengen walked in quickly: "Chen Liancang, Prince Xian is here!"

"Hmm? Let them in."

With a thought, the Blood Moon Gu quickly swam into Zheng Yi's sleeves and disappeared.

Soon, two figures walked into the hall.

Chen Liancang, leader of the Shadow Guard, a martial artist at the Grandmaster level.

The virtuous prince, from the royal family of Dayu, is worshipped in the Jade Tablet of the Worship Courtyard.

"Your humble servant/servant greets His Majesty!"

The two men bowed one after another, and Zheng Yi raised his hand and said, "My dear ministers, please don't bow."

"Is everything going well at home, uncle?"

"Return to Your Majesty, everything is fine."

Zheng Zongxian, the late emperor’s younger brother.

He has been fascinated by martial arts since childhood, and has not cared about state affairs. He entered the Grandmaster realm at the age of 45 and has remained so until now.

He has been lingering at the Grandmaster level for nearly twenty years, unable to reach the innate threshold.

Zheng Yi said again: "Uncle, I called you here today to ask if there is any chance for a breakthrough in your martial arts cultivation?"

Prince Xian bowed and said, "Your Majesty, how can we break through the bottleneck of twenty years?"

"However, after suppressing the traitor Yang, I suddenly felt that my innate bottleneck had loosened a little. I would like to ask Your Majesty to allow me to go to the northern border to fight against the Wu Kingdom."

“Maybe at this critical moment of life and death, I can break through to the Xiantian realm by chance.”

The bottleneck is loosening?
Zheng Yi's heart moved. It seemed that it was indeed related to the concubine giving birth to a daughter!
Even if the four innate pure yin energies dissipated, the imperial palace, or the harem, would still be the area where they were most concentrated.

Staying in the palace will definitely lead to a breakthrough faster than staying in the northern border or other places.

The concentration of spiritual energy is different, so the probability and speed of breakthrough will certainly be different.

Zheng Yi said, "Uncle, please wait for a while. The world is in turmoil right now. I want you to stay in the capital and protect my nephew."

"Your Majesty is serious!"

The virtuous prince said quickly: "In that case, I will stay for a while longer."

"Thank you, uncle!"

Zheng Yi looked at Chen Liancang again and asked, "Mr. Chen, how do you feel?"

A martial artist at the Grandmaster level is a giant in the martial arts world, a person who founded a school of martial arts.

Moreover, he had made great contributions to Zheng Yi. Zheng Yi also respected the elderly, so he gave him minimum respect.

Chen Liancang said excitedly: "Your Majesty... my innate bottleneck has been blocked, and I will be able to break through it in time!"

Prince Xian was surprised and asked, "Old Chen, you're so fast?"

"I remember you became a Grandmaster later than me. What's going on?" The two obviously knew each other when they were young and were somewhat familiar with each other.

Chen Liancang said: "I am not too sure, but in the past few months, I feel that something has happened to the vitality of heaven and earth, and I can feel it more clearly."

A warrior in the Xiantian realm.

The most obvious sign is that one can use one's own internal strength to control the vitality of heaven and earth.

In other words, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth!
This allows them to achieve levels of magic that ordinary warriors simply cannot achieve.

Now that Chen Liancang can feel the vitality of heaven and earth, it proves that his martial arts skills are one step ahead of Prince Xian.

Or in other words... Chen Liancang, being in the harem, could sense the four innate pure yin energies more clearly and at a closer distance!!!
If Xu Mujun was in the harem, the imperial palace, or the capital, his perception would be clearer.

At this moment, Zheng Yi had already made up his mind.

He... indeed led the revival of spiritual energy!

Any woman who is born from the pure Yin energy in the Yin-Yang Treasure Mirror can integrate the innate pure Yin energy into this world, thereby increasing the concentration of spiritual energy in this world.

The perception of Grandmaster-level warriors and Innate-level warriors will become more and more obvious, and the number of high-grade warriors in this world will also increase.

Even... cultivators!
Zheng Yi quickly made a decision in his mind.

It seems that some plans related to cultivation need to be accelerated.

The increase of spiritual energy is bound to cause changes in the surrounding environment, especially for cultivators who are hidden in the world.

As the number of cultivators increases, his danger level will also increase.

But at the same time, it is also his opportunity.

An opportunity to obtain cultivation books and step into the world of cultivation!
If it really doesn't work, he can slow down the pace of having a daughter and keep his spiritual energy at a certain level.

When his strength is improved, either for the entire Dayu, or when he obtains the classics on cultivation, he will leave his daughter behind and use his innate pure yin energy to practice.

"Five pure Yin energies, now only the Virtuous Consort Li Changle has not given birth yet."

"I won't have a child for a while. I'll have a daughter when my strength and Dayu's overall strength are both improved..."

correct!

Zheng Yi suddenly thought of something else.

The innate pure yin energy can enhance the concentration of spiritual energy in this world.

Then...what about the innate pure yang energy?

What is the use?

But now is not the time to think about this, let's talk about it later.

After chatting for a few more words, Prince Xian took his leave and Zheng Yi left Chen Liancang behind.

"Mr. Chen, how is the training of the Shadow Guard going?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, all twenty Shadow Guards have been successfully trained."

Chen Liancang said: "Sixteen of them are eunuchs and four palace maids, all waiting for your majesty's arrangements."

"The eunuchs will be assigned to my entourage, and the palace maids...will stay in the harem."

"promise!"

"One more thing."

Zheng Yi continued: "The workload of Shadow Guard training will be doubled... no, ten times!"

"Collect a large number of children with similar aptitudes and talents for me, and send them to the palace for training!"

"I will have the inner treasury send all the medicine and money to you first."

Chen Liancang's eyes widened immediately: "Your Majesty, this... ten times the amount, that would require a large number of young children, this..."

Zheng Yi said coldly: "Among the Thirteen Prefectures of Dayu, at least half of them are now in the grip of natural disasters and man-made calamities. Isn't it hard to find young children?"

"I am doing this to help the people of the world!"

"promise!"

"If we don't have enough people, we can choose from the eunuchs and maids who have entered the palace in recent years!"

"promise!"

At this time, Liu Chengen came in again.

"Your Majesty! A secret letter from the Royal Guards!"

"Oh? Where?"

"Nanyue County and Wuzhou."

"Send it up!"

Nanyue County is related to the Baiyue tribe’s chief priest Shen Yue and the mysterious cultivator.

As for Wuzhou, it is related to the sword-making and iron-smelting technology of Yujian Villa.

The two secret letters contained a lot of words, but Zheng Yi read them all at a glance.

"interesting."

Zheng Yi threw the two secret letters on the table and murmured, "The high priests of the Black Yue tribe and then the White Yue tribe are actually cultivators, although they are only small cultivators at the third level of Qi training."

"Among the people of both tribes, there are those who are qualified to practice immortal cultivation."

"The High Priest Shen Yue of the Baiyue Clan actually wants to give me a woman... a woman with the talent for cultivating immortals!"

"In that case, I will refuse it disrespectfully."

"I don't know what kind of magical benefits will come from practicing dual cultivation with this woman?"

The next second, Zheng Yi's eyes changed slightly, and a cold breath immediately seeped out of his eyes.

"Wuzhou, Yujian Villa. They actually thought of deceiving me by using the ordinary swordsmiths in the villa. They even colluded with the Tianming Sect and the White Lotus Sect in secret and sold a large number of weapons and military equipment."

"I have had my suspicions before, where did the rebels' weapons and military equipment come from? The Yunzhou soldiers have been in Qing for half a year, and they have not yet been completely wiped out."

"So it is... Yu Jian Villa!"

“It’s really… damn it!”

"Legend...Shen Jiying!!!"
