The young Qin Lu had never seen such a scene. When Emperor Qi Ling issued the exile order, the upset Qin Lu was stunned. If it weren't for Mei Nongying taking care of him, he wouldn't even know how he walked out of the imperial study.

However, looking at the other party's figure getting farther and farther away, the originally unpredictable Emperor Qi Ling couldn't help but sigh.

The order to exile Qin Lu was just a small matter. What really worried Emperor Qi Ling was that the Great Jin had been at peace for more than twenty years. If even this group of young talents lost their courage, the whole world would face the embarrassing situation of a lack of successors.

Fortunately, the answer given by Qin Lu, the new number one scholar, was quite powerful. Even in the face of Zhang San's outstanding military achievements, he did not back down even a single step. This did comfort Emperor Qi Ling a little.

If such a person is sent to the border army to train for two years, he will become the backbone of the Jin Dynasty after returning to the court.

only……

"Your Majesty, are you worried about the coming of the Buddha?"

After rubbing his red eyes and making sure there was no problem with his thinking ability, Emperor Qi Ling answered seriously.

“It’s true that you don’t know how expensive firewood and rice are until you manage the household. When I looked through Taizu’s archives in the past, I found that it was only a matter of time to contain the dragon vein. However, when I personally started doing it, I realized how great the resistance here is.

During the thirty years of the Hongwu reign, Taizu contained thirty dragon veins. However, since I took over, three full years have passed, and I have not been able to contain even one. Zhenjiang Prefecture has already been like this, how many more years will it take for other places in the future? I really... feel ashamed of my ancestors."

It is true that Gao Zhan is the emperor, but apart from this identity, he is just a young boy. Looking at the most powerful man in the world in front of him, Yan Yan did not know how to comfort him for a moment.

Yes, Emperor Qi Ling has been on the throne for three years, and has not yet contained any dragon veins. But what needs to be known is that among the six wise rulers of the Jin Dynasty, except for Hongwu, Yongle and Qi Ling, who else had the courage to continue to carry out the will of His Majesty Taizu?

After rubbing his cheeks and forcibly suppressing his helplessness, Emperor Qi Ling's eyes returned to their former clarity.

Sometimes he himself felt a little ridiculous. As the most powerful man in the world, Gao Zhan could only explode with emotion in front of Old Yan.

After all, he is a lonely man, so from this perspective, he is indeed pitiful.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Yan. I lost my composure just now."

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. If I hadn't done my job well, why would I have troubled Your Majesty?"

As a veteran of the Six Dynasties of the Great Jin Dynasty, Emperor Qi Ling's respect for strictness far exceeds that of ordinary people. It's a pity that his strict adherence to the etiquette between the monarch and his subjects sometimes makes Emperor Qi Ling feel depressed.

Is strict too smooth?

Perhaps, but more importantly, it is because of his reverence for imperial power.

"What are you going to do with Zhang Sirui? I promised you that I could delay it, but now that Mei Nongying has been transferred to Yanmen Pass, if I don't arrange a good person, there might be mistakes in the area that Dou Su is in charge of."

“It’s not good to sharpen the knife too quickly, but if you keep suppressing it, it will inevitably dampen the youth’s spirit.

I have read the military report handed over by Dou Su. It's only been half a month, but that little fellow has not only mastered the Disha Qi Guiding Technique to the high level, but he is also about to master the Nine Breaths Qi Condensation Technique.

Apart from that girl Zhuang Xiaomeng, I have never seen anyone with such talent. After a series of battles, this kid's innate Qi reserves are probably about to run out. I was originally worried whether he could consume supplies for thirty years, but now it seems that with the strength of his acupoints, sixty years is no problem at all."

Having been in officialdom for 200 years, Yan Yan's tactfulness is definitely beyond the imagination of ordinary people. Even Liu Bowen at that time could not have achieved his goal with his tricks of smoothing things over.

At this point, Emperor Qi Ling was too lazy to listen to his vague talk and spoke frankly.

"I have figured it out. You are not training the younger generation. You are training him as your successor."

After hearing what Emperor Qi Ling said, Yan Yan did not continue to play dumb as before, but instead spoke with a resolute look on his face.

"Qin Lu has emerged among the civil officials of the imperial examination, so naturally there must be many nobles. Looking at the new batch of canonized strangers, I really haven't seen anyone more evil than him. As long as he passes that test, within 30 years, there will be no place for ghosts in my Great Jin."

…

Zhang San naturally didn't know about the discussion between Emperor Qi Ling and Yan Yan. When the wooden man pulled out the axe and chopped off the head of the dragon of inspiration, all Zhang San's thoughts were filled with the joy of being promoted to a natural disaster.

Not counting reality, nearly three hundred years passed. After missing the opportunity of Wang Baobao, he finally became a disaster in this world between a cultivator and a master of Taoism.

Everything before his eyes seemed to be clearing away as if the clouds had cleared and the distant places that were previously unclear were now paved with a smooth road. Even the stagnant upper limit of his innate Qi reserves was opened to him for a hundred years.

As we all know, spiritual practice is a process of hiding, and it is also a process of developing one's own body.

Even if you realize the true nature, you cannot avoid abandoning the body and returning to the body; when will you also practice the great medicine and instantly transcend the defilements to become a true person.

If you understand the principle of both life and death, then your path of spiritual practice will be complete.

Perhaps it was because of the suppression of the rules of heaven. Before he obtained the status of a natural disaster, although Zhang San diligently practiced the three levels of reverse life and tried every method to temper his "life", the reserves of his body's innate qi were never less than a hundred years.

The emergence of upper limit shackles is the reason why Zhang San chose to pass on the innate Qi of the past thirty years to Gu Xuanyan.

For other extraordinary people, even Class A extraordinary people, Zhang San's foundation is so strong that it can be described as terrifying. However, for a true disaster-level master, the lack of Qi alone is enough to be fatal.

In addition to the extra consumption generated when using disaster-level magic with an A-level fate, if Zhang San had not mastered the magic deeply enough, Baimu would not even have had to fight back, and simply delaying would have been enough to kill Zhang San.

However, judging from the current situation, all of that is a thing of the past. The moment he obtained the status of a natural disaster, Zhang San had already completed the basic sublimation of life.

Feeling the emptiness in his body, a vague number suddenly popped into his mind: 233 years.

This is his current upper limit, and it is also Zhang San’s weakness. If he does not use a small account to supplement it, and relies solely on daily accumulation, he may never reach this limit in his lifetime.

Of course, if inspiration was a real dragon, he would have enough meat to make up for the previous consumption. However, looking at the headless clay sculpture on the table, Zhang San's expression became more and more gloomy.

After this battle, he now has less than 40 years of innate Qi reserves left in his body. If another ghost plague breaks out in Taiping County, he is afraid that he will fall into the abyss of blue bar shortage.

After thinking for a long time, Zhang San couldn't help but summon the system.
