I Have A Qi Fortune Altar

"Forget it... I should first help Senior Moluo recover from his injuries and then consider the long-term plans," Chen Yuan thought to himself.

He estimated that he couldn't be transferred away in the short term, and could only take it step by step. Whether it was tracking down the remnants of the previous dynasty or smuggling exotic warhorses, everything had to proceed slowly.

However, Senior Moluo's situation could not be delayed, as it was quite urgent.

On the way from Wudang Mountain to Liangzhou City, Moluo had already dispensed with any mystery and told Chen Yuan the gist of the matter.

He was planning to make a trip deep into the Grassland!

Previously, he hadn't had this idea, but during the last time at Blood Lake, he had recovered quite a bit of his Primordial Spirit. If he could get a certain sacred artifact from the Barbarians Clan, he could fully restore his Primordial Spirit in a very short time.

So, it was inevitable that Chen Yuan would make a trip to the Grassland, and it would be soon. According to Moluo, the Northern Barbarians would be holding a sacrificial ceremony soon, and that sacred artifact would be brought out.

This opportunity only came once every three years.

He couldn't miss it.

Originally, he planned to go alone, but that would certainly be detected by the people of Spirit Mountain. Later, when Chen Yuan was also transferred to the border, he came up with a new idea.

With his recent cultivation improvements, Chen Yuan's physical body could carry even more power.

This would increase the chances of obtaining that sacred artifact!

While Chen Yuan was pondering how to proceed with preparations, a Heavenly Patrol Guard bowed and entered the main hall, saluting:

"Sir, Feng Jinshi requests an audience."

Chen Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly and softly said:

"Let him in."

"Yes."

Soon, Feng Jiuying calmly entered the main hall. Compared to his previously miserable appearance, he now wore official robes again.

Without careful perception, one could hardly sense the declining aura on him.

Of course, this was just a facade; the injuries Chen Yuan had inflicted would not fully heal for at least half a month.

"Feng Jinshi, why aren't you recuperating at home, and instead, come to the Government?"

Chen Yuan asked as he looked at Feng Jiuying.

He was rather surprised by the other's visit.

"Some injuries do not hinder my actions,"

Feng Jiuying quickly replied with a smile.

Now, even his form of address had changed. Although both were Fourth Rank Golden Envoys, he willingly referred to himself as a 'subordinate.' It must be said that his psychological adjustment was far quicker than Huangfu Qi's.

"Hmm, sit down."

Chen Yuan gestured to the side and then waved his hand, causing a cup of Spiritual Tea to fall in front of Feng Jiuying. Feng Jiuying lifted the cup and took a sip, smilingly saying, "Sir, this Spiritual Tea is indeed extraordinary, filled with abundant Spiritual Energy. I get to benefit from it too."

Chen Yuan smiled, thinking Feng Jiuying was quite the intriguing person. He managed to adjust his mindset so quickly and even began to flatter him. Although that cup of Spiritual Tea was extraordinary, it wasn't exactly a rarity.

At least, to someone like Feng Jiuying, a Heavenly Patrol Golden Envoy, it should not be rare. He had served as the outer city leader in the Capital for many years and must have been rewarded with some items.

"Feng Jinshi, you must have something to say for coming here today, right?"

Chen Yuan didn't beat around the bush and directly asked.

"Sir, your foresight is truly divine. No wonder you've risen to such a high position at such a young age. I really admire you. To be honest, I came today to apologize to you."

"Hmm?"

"Previously, I didn't surrender to you right away and instead foolishly tried to teach you a lesson. Looking back, I wholeheartedly realize it was wrong. This Liangzhou Heavenly Patrol Bureau isn't something I can handle with my skills; only someone like you, both virtuous and talented, can manage it."

Feng Jiuying put down the teacup and said.

"Feng Jinshi, you've said too much."

"No, every word of mine is sincere. In the fight yesterday, you were truly invincible. I am genuinely in awe and will sincerely attach myself to you, without harboring any further disloyal thoughts."

"Both of us are working for the court. Such words are too forward."

Chen Yuan said blandly.

"Isn't Sir the court?" Feng Jiuying revealed a smile.

"No wonder Feng Jinshi has the skill to contend for power with Huangfu Jinshi. Now that I see it, you are indeed extraordinary."

"Sir, every word I speak comes from the heart. Whether it's your methods, strength, or temperament,

I am far inferior to you. I will certainly look up to your guidance in the future and act accordingly."

As Chen Yuan stared at Feng Jiuying in silence, the atmosphere momentarily grew quiet. Feng Jiuying was momentarily taken aback, thinking he had said something wrong, and was just about to explain himself when suddenly Chen Yuan smiled at him and said:

"Since Feng Jinshi is so sincere, then I shall speak truthfully as well. As long as you cooperate with me, when I leave Liangzhou,

I will surely recommend you to become the Liangzhou Golden Envoy. You and I should unite our efforts for the court as we guard Liangzhou."

Feng Jiuying was overjoyed and quickly said:

"Thank you, Sir. I will certainly work diligently."

"Good."

Seeing the mood had been elevated to this point, Feng Jiuying's expression shifted, and he whispered:

"In yesterday's battle, you fought two opponents alone and shocked Liangzhou City. This news will surely reach the Ascending Immortal Tower. With the strength you showcased, you will undoubtedly enter the top ten of the Fengyun List.

This is truly a cause for celebration, so… I thought of hosting a celebration for you."

Chen Yuan narrowed his eyes; he was aware of this matter but didn't dwell on it too much. Not making it into the top ten of the Fengyun List would indeed be a problem.

But such empty fame holds little use for him at present.

It's just a means for future accumulation.

"What do you want to say, Feng Jinshi?"

Chen Yuan continued.

Feng Jiuying revealed a meaningful smile and said:

"I know, Sir, that your preferences are different, and I actually share the same taste, not fond of those young women. Coincidentally, I have a beautiful woman in my mansion, though over thirty, still charming and graceful, and I wish to offer her to you...."
