Looking at the two True Spirit Set pieces, Chu Danqing was certain that the quality of the True Spirit would definitely improve after the final awakening.

Combined with the area damage radius bonus provided by the Blood Bone material, it can be considered a complete set of weapons and armor.

"It seems we won't be able to fleece the Yan cavalry anymore; he has the Azure Sky Overlord Halberd in his hand."

"If I were to buy anything, I'd probably only buy the Blood Bone material."

Chu Danqing naturally couldn't be sold separately; the more complete the set, the more valuable it would be.

If you take it apart, the value of the materials will immediately plummet.

As for the other excellent-grade treasure chest, the contents were just average.

One is a roe deer-shaped halberd, another is a bronze monocle material, and then there are 3900 Paradise Points.

Judging from its fall, it must be a roe owl.

Although both are excellent-grade treasure chests, these two are more like ultra-low-end versions of the Hundred Bones Halberd and Blood Bone.

They can also be sold as a package.

After finishing dealing with the matter, Chu Danqing rushed back to the Taiyi Sect.

"Fellow Daoist Chu, you're finally back. How did things go?" Hong Xuanjiao paced back and forth at the city gate of the Taiyi Sect. Upon seeing Chu Danqing return, she immediately came over to greet him.

Seeing that Chu Danqing returned so quickly, she thought he had only gone to test the waters and had not yet had a formal confrontation.

"Kill them all, don't worry," Chu Danqing said, taking things out.

The ice crystal fragments of the Great Snow Mountain Bodhisattva and the bone powder of the Dragon Clan's Aguda are the most difficult to collect, as they are all in the water.

Then there's the bronze head of the Paoxiao General and the locust corpse of the Locust Immortal. These are also hard to find, mainly because they've all turned into a paste.

Then there's Gan Ge Hu's long spear. He wanted to get his long tail back, but it was awkward to hold it while it was covered in blood.

When Hong Xuanjiao saw these things, she froze completely. She shakily slapped herself before recovering.

"This... Fellow Daoist Chu, how did you do that?" Hong Xuanjiao was no longer just shocked, but her worldview was directly challenged.

This is as unbelievable as an ant the size of a grain of rice killing five elephants.

"That's how it was done," Chu Danqing gestured.

However, Hung Hsuan-Chiao didn't really want to know what happened; she just wanted to express her shock.

Hong Xuanjiao quickly calmed down and said in a deep voice, "Fellow Daoist Chu is incredibly powerful. After today, he will surely be famous throughout the world."

"But with the death of Wu Guozhu, the Chongde Dynasty will surely launch a nationwide attack. I think we should leave Xiangzhou as soon as possible and avoid the storm."

The Mountain King and the Dead Bone are gone; now the Five Pillars have arrived.

Now that the Five Pillars of the Nation have also died, it means that Chu Danqing is now powerful enough to threaten the rule of the Chongde Dynasty.

"Not necessarily," Chu Danqing said, stroking his chin. "There's also a process of being granted amnesty in between."

"Only after I refuse the offer of amnesty will the Chongde Dynasty mobilize its entire nation to attack me."

"Furthermore, mobilizing such a large number of troops also takes time."

"It can be done during the process of being granted amnesty, which will also provide cover." Chu Danqing, after all, had experience in officialdom.

Knowing the alternative ways to become an official in feudal society: murder and arson followed by being granted amnesty.

Of course, one must have the strength; otherwise, a few small bandits will most likely face suppression rather than amnesty.

"Then what about us?" Hong Xuanjiao didn't quite understand what Chu Danqing was going to do.

"The same old rule applies: we'll deal with whatever comes our way," Chu Danqing said. "Besides, I'm not the leader of the Taiyi Sect. Whether I stay or leave, or fight, is not up to me."

Chu Danqing pushed the pot away.

He holds a position of wise ruler with absolutely no real power, and now he's being asked to take charge of the overall situation? If no one else can handle it, Chu Danqing could step in.

However, Hong Shixun's seclusion did not preclude him from emerging, and Hong Xuanjiao was the direct manager of the Taiyi Sect.

Moreover, Hong Xuanjiao would definitely not agree to his proposed solution.

In his opinion, he should take this opportunity to march directly to Tianjing, the capital of the Chongde Dynasty.

After all, without the Five Pillars, the difficulty will decrease significantly.

He knew it would be pointless to say anything, so he didn't waste his breath and let Hong Xuanjiao handle it herself.

Seeing Chu Danqing's attitude, Hong Xuanjiao said helplessly, "I'll listen to Fellow Daoist Chu."

"Fellow Daoist Chu, you've worked hard. Please go and rest for a while."

Upon hearing this, Chu Danqing nodded casually and headed towards her room.

"Tell me, would you say I've overshadowed the emperor with my achievements?" Chu Danqing suddenly thought of this question after returning and then looked at Da Bao to ask.

Da Bao looked completely bewildered, then grabbed a chicken leg and stuffed it into his mouth.

After swallowing it, he said, "I... I don't know."

He's just a five-year-old child, what could he possibly know?

“However, that place is very strange,” Da Bao said, pointing in a direction.

Looking in that direction, Da Bao was pointing to the location where Hong Shixun was in seclusion.

There were guards there, and ordinary people were not allowed to approach, so as not to disturb Hong Shixun's seclusion.

Therefore, it appeared particularly deserted.

"How exactly is it strange?" Chu Danqing asked.

Da Bao shook his head: "It's a feeling."

It means that he didn't really understand it either; it was just that his perception and intuition combined to create a strange feeling.

Even if you asked Da Bao, he couldn't give a coherent explanation.

"I understand, there's no need to worry for now."

"However, we must be careful." Chu Danqing was worried that what would emerge would not be Hong Shixun, but Taiyi Tianwang.

He could understand the second half of Yang Qianyuan's prophecy about slaying demons and monsters, but he didn't quite understand the first half about Heavenly Father and Heavenly Brother.

Heavenly Father can be understood as Taiyi Heavenly King, since Hong Shixun calls himself the Holy Son of Taiyi, so calling Taiyi Heavenly King Heavenly Father is not a problem.

But what exactly is Brother Tian?
"Okay." Da Bao pulled out another duck leg and stuffed it into his mouth.

There wasn't much exertion today; it was just that Da Bao was craving something.

These foods are all of average quality.

At Tier 1, the standard quality has been phased out, so the price is very cheap.

All the food that Chu Danqing purchased was changed from being of no quality to being of ordinary quality.

Once it reaches Tier 2, it will need to be upgraded to become of excellent quality.

One drawback of choosing to eliminate quality food is that if the food itself is too strong, its effect becomes extremely weak, almost negligible.

However, Chu Danqing did not value the effect, but rather the quality of the food itself.

In terms of color, aroma, and taste, food of average quality is far superior to food of no quality.

As the value of amusement park points increases, the quality of life should also improve accordingly.

"Hong Xuanjiao went to find Hong Shixun. I wonder if there will be any results." Chu Danqing looked away after seeing Hong Xuanjiao arrive at the house where Hong Shixun was in seclusion.

Continuing to watch now is no different from stalking, which is extremely impolite.

If you really want to know the situation, you can just ask the other party after Hong Xuanjiao and Hong Shixun have finished talking.

As for the other party's possible unwillingness to tell the truth, Chu Danqing respects their choice, but any subsequent problems will have to be borne by them alone.

"Brother, this is the situation. What should we do next?" Hong Xuanjiao told the whole story without hiding anything.

Then he waited anxiously for Hong Shixun's reply.

She did not enter the secluded room, but instead communicated with Hong Shixun through the window.

"Wait six more days, I will emerge from seclusion in six days." Hong Shixun's voice finally answered Hong Xuanjiao after a long silence.

"What should we do if the Chongde Dynasty's heretical Taoist priests come to offer us amnesty during that time?" Hong Xuanjiao continued to ask.

It's fine if they don't leave and wait six days, but they should at least offer a solution involving appeasement.

"Delay it, ignore it." Hong Shixun replied much faster this time.

"And another thing," Hong Xuanjiao glanced discreetly at Chu Danqing's room not far away, and after seeing that the window was closed, she asked in a low voice, "Where is Fellow Daoist Chu? How should he be rewarded for such a great achievement?"

Giving nothing at all will definitely invite criticism.

But even if we offered to give it to them, they couldn't afford it.

Hong Shixun remained silent for a long time before saying, "Remove the position of Zhiming Jun and let Feng Shaoguang take over."

"As for Fellow Daoist Chu, he has been promoted to Vice Leader of the Taiyi Sect."

“However, he is lazy by nature, so you will continue to oversee all affairs within the sect,” Hong Shixun offered a solution.

"This...isn't that a bad idea?" Hong Xuanjiao asked hesitantly.

Offering a promotion but not real power—any discerning person can see the problem.

“What can the poor in the church offer?” Hong Shixun asked rhetorically.

This silenced Hong Xuanjiao. She realized that Hong Shixun had changed too much, so much so that she couldn't be sure if the person in the room was actually Hong Shixun.

The Hong Shixun of the past would never have said such a thing.

"Brother, open the door, I want to talk to you face to face," Hong Xuanjiao couldn't help but say.

"Nonsense!" Hong Shixun immediately rebuked, "I am in seclusion, how can I interrupt this? If the Taiyi Heavenly King's demon-slaying sword is not forged, what will become of the people?"

"Go and take care of your business. Do not disturb me unless it is urgent." After Hong Shixun finished speaking, an invisible force pushed Hong Xuanjiao away.

Hong Xuanjiao glanced at the room reluctantly, but ultimately turned and left to deal with church affairs, choosing not to press the matter further.
