Buzz!

A buzzing sound rang out.

A long sword appeared above Li Jing's head, a sword that was hundreds of meters long.

This long sword continued to grow larger and longer, just like a sword that could support the heavens, spanning the sky and the earth!

In just a moment, this sword had already reached a length of several miles!

This sword strike was not only large and long, but also exuded a majestic, righteous, and domineering sword intent that seemed capable of suppressing heaven and earth.

This is the Emperor's Sword!

Emperor's Sword Intent!

If this sword were to fall, the entire Dan Ding Pavilion would probably be wiped out.

Upon seeing this sword strike, this was the first thought that crossed Gu Qingshan and the others' minds.

"...Your Majesty, please don't rush me. I haven't made my choice yet."

A bitter smile appeared on Gu Qingshan's face as he called out urgently.

He was genuinely afraid that Li Jing would strike down the entire Dan Ding Pavilion with a single sword strike.

He didn't want to submit to anyone or any power, but he didn't want to die!

Upon hearing Gu Qingshan's words, both Yin Kaishan and the others, as well as the alchemists of Dan Ding Pavilion, felt a great weight lifted from their hearts and showed expressions of relief.

They were afraid that Gu Qingshan would choose to wipe out the entire family.

If Gu Qingshan chooses to exterminate the entire family, wouldn't they all die here?

Even ants struggle to survive, let alone martial arts cultivators like them.

Li Jing stared at Gu Qingshan with indifferent eyes, remaining silent.

"Your humble servant Gu Qingshan greets Your Majesty."

Gu Qingshan sighed and bowed to Li Jing.

"Greetings, Your Majesty!"

Yin Kaishan and the others bowed respectfully.

"Greetings, Your Majesty!"

Everyone in the entire Dan Ding Pavilion shouted in unison.

The awe-inspiring sword above Li Jing's head disappeared, and the coldness in his eyes vanished completely. He said calmly, "No need for formalities."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Gu Qingshan breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that Li Jing did not intend to exterminate the entire Dan Ding Pavilion.

"Let's go to the lobby to talk."

"Gu Qingshan and Yin Kaishan are coming over."

Li Jing left those words behind and then disappeared into the Dan Ding Pavilion.

It was as if he were the master of this place.

However, now that Gu Qingshan represents the entire Dan Ding Pavilion in submission, he is indeed the master of this place.

Nangong Qingyue, who had been following Li Jing like a shadow, immediately followed behind him and went over together.

Gu Qingshan shook his head and obediently followed behind.

Yin Kaishan waved to the group of Nascent Soul Realm elders, signaling them to leave, and then they all went over together.

Inside the main hall of Dan Ding Pavilion.

Li Jing sat in the main seat, with Nangong Qingyue standing behind him.

Gu Qingshan and Yin Kaishan stood in front of Li Jing.

"Gu Qingshan, now that your Dan Ding Pavilion has submitted to me, it is no longer appropriate for you to stay here. You must lead the entire Dan Ding Pavilion to Yanjing City of my Tai Chu Dynasty as soon as possible."

"After arriving in Yanjing City, you will serve as the head of the Imperial Pharmacy of my Taichu Dynasty, one of the Nine Ministers of my Taichu Dynasty, a high-ranking official of the third rank."

"All disciples of the Pill Cauldron Pavilion, enter the Imperial Pharmacy to refine pills for our Taichu Dynasty."

Li Jing pondered for a moment, then said to Gu Qingshan, "You may arrange all the official positions within the Imperial Pharmacy yourself."

Once the list is finalized, just hand it over to me.

If you have any requests or needs, just contact me, Yan Changqing, the Grand Secretary of the Taichu Dynasty.

"I, Yan Changqing, the Grand Secretary of the Taichu Dynasty, will fulfill your requests and needs."

After a moment's consideration, Gu Qingshan cupped his hands in a respectful gesture to Li Jing and said, "Your Majesty, I have only one request."

"explain."

Li Jing said calmly.

"May I simply hold the title without actually doing any work?"

Gu Qingshan coughed and looked at Li Jing with an expectant expression, saying, "Your Majesty should also know that I am basically just a figurehead in the Dan Ding Pavilion and do not participate in any affairs."

Your humble servant will refine elixirs when he feels like it, and cultivate when he feels like it.

In reality, all affairs of the Dan Ding Pavilion are handled by our two deputy pavilion masters.

From now on, let these two manage the Imperial Pharmacy. What does Your Majesty think?

“Yes, the Imperial Pharmacy has two directors, left and right. Let them serve as directors of the Imperial Pharmacy.”

"I will handle all the affairs of the Imperial Pharmacy for you."

Li Jing smiled calmly and said to Gu Qingshan.

Gu Qingshan is too lazy; if he were to actually take charge, he might just make a mess of the Imperial Pharmacy.

What he really wanted was the entire Dan Ding Pavilion, where Gu Qingshan could occasionally refine pills.

"Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty!"

Gu Qingshan's eyes lit up, and he said with a look of surprise.

As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Qingshan felt a connection between himself and the Investiture of the Gods of the Primordial Dynasty.

Although Gu Qingshan hesitated for a moment when he knew that he would have to separate a wisp of his primordial spirit to enter the Investiture of the Gods, he still instantly separated a wisp of his primordial spirit and entered it into the Investiture of the Gods.

In an instant, Gu Qingshan understood the function of the Investiture of the Gods in the Primordial Dynasty and received the power of the Primordial Dynasty's fortune, which made him feel that his realm was beginning to loosen and that he was about to break through.

Not only that, he felt that his comprehension had also greatly improved. Things he didn't understand before, and pills he couldn't refine, he now had enough confidence in.

Gu Qingshan was utterly shocked. Was this the benefit of joining the Dynasty of Destiny?

Slacking off in the Primordial Dynasty, enjoying the blessings of good fortune, and occasionally refining elixirs—it doesn't seem like such a bad thing.

"This is the Tai Su Dan Jing. Any alchemist in the Dan Ding Ge who has reached the Yuan Shen realm can switch to cultivating this Tai Su Dan Jing."
