The Great Martial Saint!

A carriage that was obviously different from the ordinary was driving on the official road, escorted by a group of people accompanying it.

"Sir, the Weishui County City is just ahead. Do you want to go into the city to rest?"

The frame of the carriage was decorated with black jade patterns and was wide. Outside this carriage, which symbolized the candidate's status as the head of the Provincial Pacification Office, the guards accompanying him could be heard cautiously asking for instructions.

"Come in." A warm and clear young man's voice came from the frame.

Be brief and clear.

"Yes, my lord."

Outside the carriage, a strong man in armor responded respectfully.

The adults have given the instructions, so the next step is up to them.

When adults travel, they are dignified and majestic.

It would be fine if they were traveling secretly, but if they wanted to go into the city to rest, they would have to inform the higher-ups of the city's pacification office in advance and welcome them with the highest level of courtesy.

When an adult arrives in a county town, the commander-in-chief of the Pacification Bureau will usually lead a group of middle and high-level officials from the Pacification Bureau to line up outside the city gate to welcome the adult into the city.

In addition, there are many families and forces in the city. As long as they are presentable, they need to come out to welcome the arrival of the adults.

This is a ceremony for high-ranking officials of the provincial pacification office, and it is also the etiquette for the local pacification office!

"Notify the Weishui Pacification Office that the Lord is coming to Weishui in person, and make preparations in advance!"

"Yes!"

The accompanying guards quickly started to move, and soon several riders left the team and headed straight towards Weishui County.

Sent by the State Pacification Office, they are responsible for guarding Chen Ping'an in Beicang and accompanying Lord Chen. These guards are the elite among the elite.

Anyone who takes this out can be found to be a master with great internal energy!
Chen Pingan naturally didn't pay much attention to the busy team outside the frame.

Given his current status, things like this are perfectly normal.

The candidate for the head of the State Pacification Division may not be too conspicuous in Canglong State City. Although it is also a local giant, the state city is full of forces, including the State Pacification Division, the State Qiankun Division, the three major families, and many top forces.

But if this person were outside the provincial capital, he would undoubtedly be a very important figure!

When passing through a county or a city, the attitude of the local pacification office could not be too respectful.

"It took more than half a month to finally reach Weishui County City."

Feeling the familiar scenery around him, a smile appeared on Chen Pingan's face.

I have to say, this special frame with black-patterned jade ornaments is really extraordinary!
Compared with ordinary frames, the speed is much faster!
Considering the distance between Canglongzhou City and Weishui County City, normally, even if one travels by horseback at full speed, it would not take only half a month without the support of the system and logistics.

The reason why Chen Ping'an was able to travel so quickly was not only due to the carriage frame, but also because all the guards accompanying him were elite.

With their martial arts level, they can basically maintain a very long travel time every day, and will not waste too much time when encountering some winding and dangerous places.

During this half month, Chen Pingan was not idle. When he left Canglongzhou City, he bought a lot of books. The books were mainly biographies and anecdotes.

Most of these books were bought at Ruyi Bao Pavilion, and because of the veteran token, I got a big discount.

The remaining small half was purchased from other treasure shops, such as Tongbaolou, Jinmuqizhenfang, etc.

Compared with the books he collected before, these books cover a wider range and have a higher level of information.

It is not limited to the Canglong State. Most of the perspectives are placed on at least several states, such as Yanlie State, Xuanling State and so on.

There are also many records of the masters who appeared in the 17 states where the Bi Cang County Prince's Mansion is located. In addition, there are records about the topography, specialties, and customs of each state.

In addition, some of the rare books he purchased will have a broader perspective, and the perspective is basically placed on most of the Northern Territory, or even the entire Northern Territory.

For example, the North Sea, Tianshan Mountains and other places in the northern border are all involved. In addition, there will also be a general introduction to some well-known top forces in the northern border.

Bi Cang County Prince's Mansion, Snow God Palace, Beihai Merchant Alliance, etc.

Over the past month or so, Chen Ping'an would read these books in his spare time to learn about current affairs, broaden his horizons, and gain experience.

He bought quite a few books, but in the past half month, he only read less than half of them.

If he used a horse-drawn carriage to load all the things he bought, it would probably take several carriages to load them all.

Fortunately, Chen Ping'an had quite a few Thousand Machine Bags and Treasure Bags, so there was enough space.

In addition to reading books and increasing his knowledge, Chen Pingan's biggest task over the past half month has naturally been to practice the Ten Thousand Demons Body Forging Technique.

As one of the Ten Thousand Demons Sect's most powerful skills, the Ten Thousand Demons Body Forging Technique is naturally extraordinary, especially its ability to resist the erosion of blood evil, its impact on the surrounding environment, and its weakening and suppression during battle. It is of great use to Chen Pingan.

Of course, the most crucial thing is naturally the final secret skill after the Ten Thousand Demons Body Forging Technique is cultivated to perfection, the Ten Thousand Demons True Body!
Once he masters this secret technique, Chen Ping'an's ability to save his life will undoubtedly be greatly enhanced!

The defensive power that was enhanced by manifesting the true body of Ten Thousand Demons was not just physical. Even though there was a decent gain in spirituality, it was relatively not as much as the physical gain.

If not for this, given the gray-robed old man's condition at the Ten Thousand Demons Blood Pool in Sanqi Mountain, when he was hit by Gu Qingchan's Xuan Yue Zanpakutsu for the second time, he should have died instead of just being seriously injured.

You have to know that this was the case when the grey-robed old man used the power of the blood pool to forcibly activate the true forms of all demons.

In terms of power, it can only be regarded as a severely weakened version of Ten Thousand Demons' True Body. Not only is its duration short, but it also has many shortcomings.

In such a situation, it still has such power. What's more, it is the complete body of Ten Thousand Demons.

We can fully look forward to the power of the Ten Thousand Demons' true body.

Chen Ping'an is now at the level of a six-pattern grandmaster. With his spiritual power drawn and his true essence flowing, he practices the Ten Thousand Demons Body Forging Technique. It is like a fish in water, and it is extremely smooth for him to practice.

In more than half a month, he pushed his practice experience of the Ten Thousand Demons Body Forging Technique to 1335 points.

At this rate, it would take less than two months for him to perfect the Ten Thousand Demons Body Forging Technique and successfully master the ultimate secret skill, the Ten Thousand Demons True Body!

"Not bad!" Chen Ping'an's eyes trembled slightly, and a hint of satisfaction flashed across his face as he looked at the golden finger panel that appeared in front of him.

After practicing till now, he understood better than anyone that practice is the foundation.

In addition to practicing and reading books, he also did not slack off in his research on monster beast carvings. He devoted himself spiritually every day, watching the monster beast carvings slowly devour his spirituality.

Chen Ping'an still hasn't figured out what this monster carving he got from Old Man Qi Jue is.

But it doesn’t matter if he doesn’t understand. As long as he has the thing in his hands, he will figure it out one day.

With his current progress in cultivation, his status will only get higher and higher, and he will see and know more and more things.

"Sir, we have arrived at Weishui County City."

Just as Chen Ping'an was thinking, a guard's respectful report came from outside the frame.

"Okay." Chen Pingan raised his head slightly, a hint of reminiscence appearing in his eyes.

Weishui County City.
"We are here to welcome Master Chen. Your presence is like the bright moon over a river, and the Wei River is ablaze with brilliance!"

At the gate of Weishui City, everyone shouted in unison and saluted in unison.

Qiankunsi divided the Weishui into several parts, and the silver gong was used by Qiankunshi to seal the city for repair.

Weishui Pacification Office, Commander-in-Chief, Fan Zhengheng.

Head of the Liu family
These top figures in Weishui County, who could shake the world with just a stomp of their feet, now stood like minions, respectfully at the city gate, watching the arrival of the carriage of Chen Ping'an, the giant of the Provincial Pacification Office.

Fan Zhengheng, Feng Chengxiu, Liu Yuanhua, Mu Tianxiong, Wu Dazhen, Zhao Lianzhi.
Among the welcoming team standing at the city gate, there were too many familiar faces to Chen Pingan.

Among these people were his former superiors, his former colleagues, and those who tried to win him over.

They may be arrogant, or they may be trying to make friends, or they may be deliberately targeting, or...
Dismissively.

Now, these people.
Everything is under his feet!
Be it in terms of status or cultivation, Chen Pingan has now completely surpassed them.

At this moment, every word he said would be regarded as a guiding principle by them.

No matter how difficult or demanding the requirements are, they will be strictly enforced.

Not only because of his cultivation, but also because of his power!

The youngest candidate for the position of Chief in the Canglong Prefecture Pacification Office is assigned to the Northern Frontier Pacification Office to guard one side!
"Master Fan, long time no see! Come to think of it, it's been almost a year since we last met."

Chen Pingan walked out of the frame and said with a smile.

Power without human feelings is short-lived, and life without valuing old friendships will not go far.

Fan Zhengheng was flattered by Chen Ping's reminiscence of the past, and he said respectfully, "My Lord, it has been a year. Your demeanor often lingers in my mind."

Chen Pingan smiled but said nothing, his eyes falling indifferently on Feng Chengxiu who was standing beside him.

"Master Feng, how are you these days?"

Chen Ping'an's casual words almost frightened Feng Chengxiu so much that he almost broke out in a cold sweat. He bowed his head and saluted respectfully: "Thanks to your great blessing, Chengxiu is doing well. However, when I think back to the past, I often feel anxious and uneasy, and I feel that I have failed your high expectations. Whenever I think of this, I regret it. I am determined to change my past and live up to your kindness!"

As he spoke, Feng Chengxiu felt panicked, fearing that Chen Pingan would bring up old issues.

What he did to Chen Pingan before was not fair and aboveboard. Although they reconciled afterward, the situation had changed now. Who could guarantee that the reconciliation would last forever?
Although he was a member of Qiankunsi and held an important position in Weishui County, nominally, he was not under the jurisdiction of Chen Pingan. But in today's situation, with Chen Pingan's power and means, his life and death were in the hands of the other party.

Life and death only depend on Chen Ping'an's thoughts. In such a situation, how could he not be afraid?
When Chen Ping'an's gaze fell, he felt as heavy as a thousand pounds, as if he would be completely crushed in the next moment.

Fortunately, Chen Ping'an's gaze only stayed on him for a moment before moving away.

Feng Chengxiu felt as if he had been pardoned, his back was already wet with cold sweat.

Chen Pingan looked around and saw the familiar figure among the crowd of people bowing their heads to greet him. A warm smile appeared on his face.

"Wanjun, come, sit upstairs, and follow me into the city."

Chen Pingan did not shy away from asking for Mu Wanjun to get on the carriage.

Since Chen Ping'an has spoken, naturally no one can stop him.

Mu Wanjun has never been a shy person. After hearing Chen Ping'an's invitation, she climbed onto Chen Ping'an's frame in front of everyone.

When getting on the car, Chen Pingan smiled and helped.

With Mu Wanjun's martial arts level, she naturally didn't need any help to climb onto the frame.

But this
But that is Chen Pingan's attitude.

Reaching out and holding Mu Wanjun's soft hand, Chen Ping'an had a warm expression and a smile in the corners of his eyes.

Mu Wanjun had a gentle expression, and her autumn eyes seemed to contain spring water.

The two looked into each other's eyes, and everything was said without words.

Seeing Mu Wanjun getting on the carriage, the elder of the Mu family in front of the city gate trembled, unable to hide his excitement.

The Patriarch of the Mu family was excited and trembling with excitement.

Recently, as the reputation of Mang Dao Chen Pingan spread far and wide, the prestige of his Mu family also greatly increased.

But in the process of this growing momentum, some different voices also emerged.

As some have mentioned, no matter how powerful Mr. Chen is, it is his own. The Mu family and Mr. Chen have no relatives or friends, so they may not be able to take advantage of this light!

In addition, there are also voices that mention that Chen Pingan, the Rough Blade, has broken into the realm of Grandmaster, and has lived for 300 years. His vision is beyond the comprehension of ordinary people. The things of the past are only the past. Today's Master Chen may not be able to remember it.

Although these voices were few in number, they also planted a layer of worry in the growing momentum of the Mu family. The clan might not be free of such speculation and worries.

After all, strictly speaking, the Mu family had no connection with the Rough Blade Chen Pingan. There was no direct funding in the past. The only relationship was with the Mu family's daughter, Mu Wanjun.

And it's an anonymous relationship.

Especially a few days ago, with the news of Mang Dao and Chen Ping'an's marriage, there was a lot of discussion about it.

The noble lady of the Gu family is so delicate!
It is no exaggeration to call them golden branches and jade leaves!
Especially the marriage partner of Chen Ping'an, the master of Mang Dao, is the contemporary prodigy of the Gu family and the number one on the rookie list. How can he allow other women to interfere when marrying such a proud girl to Mang Dao? Even though Mang Dao and Mu Wanjun have a deep relationship and are willing to consider their old relationship, he may not necessarily support the Mu family!
Such remarks had a significant impact on the Mu family's reputation.

And today.
The reckless Chen Ping'an personally went to Weishui, and his action in front of the city gate broke all the voices of doubt.

Let Mu Wanjun get on the carriage and go into the city with him.

This is a signal.

This is Mr. Chen’s public statement!
With this signal, the Mu family will prosper!
"We respectfully invite you to enter the city!"

Everyone came to greet them respectfully, and under the guard of a group of elite soldiers, the carriage slowly drove into the Weishui County City.

Feeling the various looks around him, Mu Tianxiong's face was excited and he straightened his chest inadvertently.

The elders from the Liu, Fang, and Fu families looked at the Mu family members not far away with mixed feelings.

The Fang family, in particular, regretted deeply.

The Liu family on the side was not much better off. The regret in their hearts was beyond words.

There was once a unicorn hidden in the Wei River, but they missed it!
Today, he is so talented and rising to the top that they are far behind!
"Wanjun, I haven't seen you for a long time. You have lost some weight."

Chen Pingan held Mu Wanjun's soft hands, with a hint of heartache in his eyes.

Mu Wanjun lowered her eyes and caressed him gently. Seeing him again at this time, she seemed a little surprised.

"Peace from that day on."

The two hadn't seen each other for many days, but when they met again, there was no sense of strangeness.

Sitting in the frame, the two of them talked to each other from the bottom of their hearts and reminisced about the past.

Chen Ping'an's carriage frame with black patterns and jade decorations is more like a mobile bedroom than a carriage frame.

If it were an ordinary road, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to get through.

The courage and spirit of the candidate for the provincial pacification office is beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

I don’t know whether it was due to Chen Ping’s previous contribution of providing the precious elixir for cultivation, or the reward he received in Beicang, or the resources that the Mu family has been allocating in recent days.

After not seeing each other for more than half a year, Mu Wanjun's progress in cultivation is quite impressive.

The last time the rookie list was updated, Chen Pingan knew that Mu Wanjun had already mastered the magical sword technique and consolidated his Xuan Guang realm. With his combat power bursting out, he had the combat power comparable to that of the middle Xuan Guang realm.

Now that I see her again, I find that Wanjun's cultivation progress is almost reaching the threshold of the middle realm of Xuanguan.

With Wanjun's foundation, if she has external support, she should have a great chance of breaking into the middle realm of Xuanguan.

"Wanjun, I have some precious pills here."

As he spoke, Chen Pingan took out several bottles of pills from his arms.

He bought these pills before leaving and prepared them for Wanjun.

Many of them are precious pills for cultivation in the Xuanguang Realm, and their effects are extremely good. In addition, there are a few that are used to break through the realm, which are of great help in breaking through the bottleneck of cultivation.

I originally thought that Wanjun might not be able to use it for a while, but I didn't expect that Wanjun's progress in practice was surprising.

These pills are of great value, and even top masters would probably be reluctant to use them for their cultivation.

But considering Chen Ping'an's current wealth, these are nothing.

He is now wealthy and well-funded. To put it bluntly, even if the four major families of Weishui were sold together, and some contributions from the county city forces were added in, the total would probably not be even half of his wealth.

The wealth of a supreme grandmaster is beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

People of this level, even if they don't have a family, can still build a family on their own.

Although Chen Ping'an's wealth is much shallower than that of a true supreme grandmaster due to his age and accumulation, it is also beyond the imagination of others.

Just taking out any one of the magical weapons on him would be enough to make an ordinary master family mobilize all the family's cash flow to participate in the competition, and it would be enough to make martial arts practitioners below the master level fight to the death.

Wanjun was very kind to him and he will always remember the kindness she showed him in the past.

In fact, if Wanjun's cultivation had not yet broken through the threshold of the Xuanguan high realm and reached the top level, he would have wanted to prepare a handy quasi-divine weapon for Wanjun.

The Anwan sword in Wanjun's hand now was carefully customized by someone else at the cost of his merits. It is an extremely fine treasure.

If it is not a quasi-divine weapon, unless it is a set of fine treasures, otherwise, replacing another one will not be of much use to Wanjun.

As for quasi-divine weapons, at least one needs to be at the high level of Xuan Guang to use them. With Wanjun's current martial arts realm, she is still a little short of that.

In fact, the high-level Xuanguang realm can indeed use quasi-divine weapons, but if you want to use them in formal battles, you must at least be at the top level. And if you want to make this quasi-divine weapon not a burden in a longer battle, you need to have a top-level realm.

Unless you are a martial arts practitioner with special skills or a solid foundation, you need to abide by this rule.

“Since it’s still too early to get a quasi-divine weapon, I can find some precious elixirs that can help me break through to the higher realms of Xuan Guang if I have time, such as the Sanyang Yunshen Pill!”

There are similar treasure pills for sale in Ruyi Bao Pavilion, but Chen Pingan thought that it was still early for Wanjun to break through, so he didn't make any preparations. This time when he came back, Wanjun gave him a surprise, so he naturally had to prepare to put it on the agenda.

First, help Wanjun achieve the Xuanguan Gaojing and reach the top, and then prepare some spiritual materials and elixirs to consolidate the realm as soon as possible, and strive to accumulate into the ranks of the most powerful as soon as possible.

Then equip a quasi-divine weapon. When your cultivation is strong and your Xuan Guang Qi is enough to bear the burden, you can plan to equip two more quasi-divine weapons.

By then, Wanjun will have two quasi-divine weapons protecting her body, one for attack and one for defense, and relying on her own magical sword skills and martial arts realm, it shouldn't be a problem for her to become the most powerful master on the Dragon and Tiger List and suppress the top masters!
If Wanjun can achieve this level, then her strength will be enough to rank among the top ten in Weishui County!

Apart from the pseudo-grandmaster, only a few old guys in the four major families who suppress the family's fortune can fight with her.

Chen Pingan has basically made a plan for Wanjun's future practice.

Wanjun's natural talent is not bad. Although she is not as good as the top geniuses, she is definitely not comparable to ordinary geniuses.

Furthermore, with his unremitting training and resource supply, it would be relatively easy for him to break through to the Grandmaster level and become a top-notch expert, if not surpass him.

Even later on, Chen Ping'an specifically searched for some magical skills, such as powerful swordsmanship and body skills, so that Wanjun could comprehend and practice them. With the accumulation of years, it is very likely that she will be able to be included in the Dragon and Tiger List in the future!

However, it is possible to be on the Dragon and Tiger List, but it is unlikely to be at the top of the Dragon and Tiger List, or even almost impossible.

Ordinary martial arts practitioners are limited by their age, skills, and fighting talent. Even if they have a solid foundation and good skills, it is extremely difficult for them to fight against a pseudo-grandmaster or even a grandmaster in the realm of Xuanguan.

There were even some peerless geniuses who eventually broke through and became grandmasters, but they were never able to make it into the top 100 on the Dragon and Tiger List!
The Dragon and Tiger List only assesses combat capability, and there are many old monsters who have difficulty making any progress due to the bottleneck in their cultivation and have stopped there. However, years of skill polishing and already keen combat instincts have made him a prestigious figure on the Dragon and Tiger List.

However, the matter of the Dragon and Tiger List has nothing to do with Chen Pingan anymore.

Not to mention his true martial arts realm, even his apparent strength has surpassed that of his. It can be said that they are the product of two different worlds.

One day, he might be on the list of the most popular people, but he will never be on the list of the most popular people again.

His main concern at the moment is still Wanjun's affairs.

If Wanjun could make it onto the Dragon and Tiger List in the future, even if she was just one of the last few, it would mean that his training was a great success.

In addition to expressing his gratitude for Wanjun's friendship, this matter also gave him a sense of accomplishment.

In addition, as Chen Ping'an's realm improves in the future, his vision will be broadened, and the spiritual objects and precious pills of resources will become more precious. With Wanjun's talent, there may be a chance for her to enter the realm of the Grandmaster!

However, the time required is difficult to measure.

Compared to Wanjun, helping the little girl break through to the Grandmaster level is a real headache for Chen Pingan.

The little girl's martial arts talent was not that of a genius, but at most an average one. Even with his unstinting resources, her progress in cultivation was only comparable to that of an ordinary genius, and she couldn't even catch up with a genius!
One day, he might be able to reach the Xuanguang realm, but the high level of Xuanguang is the first hurdle.

With the little girl's talent, even if she had magical skills and practiced elixir, she might not be able to break through this barrier.

This is only possible if a more powerful and rare elixir is available.

If the little girl cannot enter the high realm of Xuan Guang, then she can only accompany him for 120 years at most. Calculating the time, there will only be 100 years in the future!
However, with the golden finger panel, Chen Pingan is still full of confidence in himself. When his vision is higher, it should not be difficult to help the little girl achieve the highest level.

But I'm not sure about this, Grandmaster!
A master needs to concentrate his martial arts will, and it cannot be cultivated simply by relying on external forces. Even if there are many natural treasures and elixirs, it is necessary to ensure that there is a basic martial arts heart!
Fortunately, what comforted Chen Pingan a little was that the little girl had an extraordinary talent for literature and might be able to embark on the path of literary practice in the future.

If you really achieve something, you may not have to worry too much about your lifespan!

"You have to save up more wealth for the little girl. Who knows how much it will cost to practice literature in the future." Chen Pingan smiled.

It feels good to spend money on your loved ones, and it's completely different from spending money on other people.

Sometimes, it is even better to spend money wisely. The more you spend, the greater the sense of satisfaction you will feel.

It’s really amazing, wonderful, and the truth!

Chen Ping'an's arrival at Weishui naturally caused a stir.

In fact, for most ordinary people in Weishui County, they had no idea what the big fuss in front of the city gate was for.

Who came, what was their identity, and what impact did they have?
They know nothing about these issues.

All they know is that there are more things happening around them and more demands being made.

The stall order, which was loosely managed in the past, has become extremely strict today.

In the past, I could punch in and leave on time, but today I have to work overtime and make more trips.

Those who used to talk loudly and sing to their heart's content are now being reminded by many people, and it seems that there are many more rules to follow.

It seems that those good-for-nothing third and fourth generations who used to show off and brag like they did in the past are rarely seen now.

All kinds of things happen, no one can explain why, but they just happen.

Different classes and different identities have different feelings.

What is the reason that makes these things happen?
Not many people can explain it clearly.

Some people just know that this is how it is.

Some people just know that some things have to be done this way.

Some people also know that the higher-ups have issued an order to keep a close eye on this area.

Some people also know that they need to be in high spirits and be in good condition. If there is any mistake, he will be the one to be blamed!

Some people also knew that with the arrival of a big shot in the county town, the entire Weishui County town, all walks of life, were relaxed on the outside but tense on the inside. All the major families, gangs, and forces were stretched to a thread, fearing that if something was not done properly, it would cause a catastrophe.

As for the people who really know the reason, after all, only a very small number of people.

They are the ones who truly stand at the top of the tower.

When the information level is too high, people below them often only see the requirements but do not know the reasons for the requirements.

Because of this, the rumors sound like a joke to some people who really know the inside story.

"Let me tell you, the patrol angels from the Provincial Pacification Office have arrived. They are here to check the accounts of Weishui County City over the past few years!"

"real or fake?"

"Of course it's true. Didn't you see the huge scene at the city gate?"

"I didn't see it! Wasn't order already under control? Where can I see it? How did you see it?!"

"Hehe, I happened to be drinking tea in the teahouse at that time, and when I came in, I saw it from afar!"

"Patrol angel? Who is coming!?"

"do not know."

"I don't know, what can you tell me?"

"."
