Chapter 274

Li Chen returned to the palace, ending his first deep-sea journey.

It was indeed his first time, but the three Sage Realm powerhouses by his side didn't quite believe it.

With Li Chen's methods and adaptability, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say he was a Sea Clan member.

There were already 5 Sage Realm powerhouses stationed near the coastline, and hundreds of thousands of cultivators spontaneously launched attacks on the Sea Clan, leaving the garrison with not many opportunities to farm merit.

Li Chen had already cleared the nearby deep-sea forbidden zone; as for the subsequent exploration, he would let the cultivators do it themselves.

He intended to return to the imperial capital first; he hadn't been back for a while, and he estimated that many things would appear that needed his handling.

When Li Chen left, the streets of Chaoyin City were bustling with activity.

Cultivators had filled the stalls, selling all kinds of deep-sea maps and guides.

"The latest deep-sea map of the whole city! Marked with all the locations where sea beasts appear, plus drop rate analysis! Don't miss it if you pass by!"

A stall owner waved the sheepskin scroll in his hand and shouted hoarsely.

"Deep-Sea Hunting Guide! Detailed explanation on how to efficiently hunt sea beasts, with a free tutorial on making water-avoiding talismans! Only one tael of silver!"

Another stall owner was not to be outdone, holding a thick booklet and shouting loudly.

Cultivators were no longer satisfied with fighting the Sea Clan; now they wouldn't even let go of sea beasts.

There were even many cultivators arriving in succession; according to incomplete statistics, the number of cultivators here had reached as many as 1.2 million.

And this was without counting the local cultivators.

This terrifying number was enough to easily wipe out some nearby countries.

One must know that this was only a part of the May Tian Ce Dynasty's cultivators.

The number of cultivators depends on the amount of resources.

Cultivation requires the blessing of various heavenly treasures; in the eyes of ordinary people, cultivation is burning money.

Now that resources are increasing, the number of cultivators will definitely increase.

Those cultivators who arrived in Chaoyin City for the first time definitely had to buy the "Guide," and if they had the conditions, they would find acquaintances to carry them.

The streets were noisy, and the cultivators were highly enthusiastic, as if this were not a coastal city, but a huge hunting market.

Li Chen walked among the crowd, listening to the rising and falling shouts, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: This bunch of fellows, they are so enthusiastic about fighting the Sea Clan now; if they open the dungeons of the myriad races of the heavens in the future, wouldn't it be even crazier?

He even mourned for the Dragon race for a second.

After all, according to the enthusiasm and efficiency of this bunch of cultivators, a race like the Dragon race, which is a treasure from head to toe, would probably become the target of the most raids.

Feeling that there shouldn't be any big problems nearby, Li Chen left with peace of mind.

Incidentally, during this stage, the rail train from Yunhai City in the central May Tian Ce Dynasty to Qingqiucheng in the east had already been built.

This was also the main reason why subsequent cultivators could arrive in succession.

Li Chen needed to take a train to Yunhai City and then transfer to the imperial capital.

Along the way, Li Chen could hear the passengers in the carriage, whether they were cultivators or ordinary people, giving high praise to the rail trains.

There were not many lines now, and there were many people who needed to take the train, so the rail trains were departing day and night; it is estimated that it will be better after the full construction is completed in the future.

It took Li Chen a day to get from Qingqiucheng to the imperial capital, and the cultivators traveling with him all felt it was incredible.

By the time Li Chen returned to the imperial palace, Wu Nanzhi had already arranged everything. After Li Chen left, those in the Tianyin Villa followed Wu Nanzhi and rode the Holy Tiger to the imperial capital.

The Holy Tiger itself was a Sage Realm, and coupled with the bodyguard Xuanji, who was also a Sage Realm, there was no trouble along the way.

After entering the imperial palace, Jun Zhantian's mother, Luo Zixi, went to visit her clan sister Luo Qimeng for the first time.

They were not biological sisters, but their blood relationship was very close.

After learning the details of her family's destruction, Luo Zixi was very heartbroken; she didn't expect that after so many years, things had changed and people were different.

Luo Qimeng also learned from her clan sister how she had spent these years and said: "Sister, neither the Jun family nor the Returning Gui Xu Wu Ya Sect can be relied upon; they only pursue their own interests. Listen to your sister, you will stay in the imperial palace in the future, and His Majesty will take care of us."

In fact, hearing that Luo Zixi married into a hidden family and had a background with a hidden sect, Luo Qimeng was also slightly shocked.

The Luoshui Villa was also considered a cultivation family and knew a little about these things.

But what was the use of that? These forces that didn't touch the secular world just treated them as tools and ignored them.

It was different by Li Chen's side; as long as Li Chen was served well, not only were there many rewards, but one could also feel like a pure woman, which was simply a huge profit.

"I understand the logic, but my husband is from the Jun family, and my son is still in the Returning Gui Xu Wu Ya Sect." Luo Zixi was very tempted, but she had a lot to consider.

!

Hearing this, Luo Qimeng curled her lips and said: "Your husband is no different from being dead, don't worry about him. Your son is in the Returning Gui Xu Wu Ya Sect; you don't need to worry about the care of the hidden sect. Now the May Tian Ce Dynasty is becoming increasingly prosperous, and in the future, your son might even have to beg His Majesty Li Chen. Aren't you paving the way for your son?"

What she said made a lot of sense, making Luo Zixi very tempted.

Originally, Luo Zixi intended to stay here for a while and go back when the situation improved.

Now it seems that staying in the imperial palace is indeed a good choice.

Women, after all, often follow their hearts, but they still need some suitable excuses to comfort themselves.

Inside the imperial capital, the champion of the Sword Discussion Assembly, Luo Yong, and the Son of Luck, Fang Gan, had already joined the imperial court.

After the Sword Discussion Assembly ended, they went straight to Yunhai City and then took a train to the imperial capital.

Along the way, Luo Yong was introducing the development of the May Tian Ce Dynasty to Fang Gan.

Just this rail train alone opened Fang Gan's eyes.

One could know just by thinking with one's feet that this thing could save a lot of time costs and promote development in all aspects.

Fang Gan was the Son of Luck, no mistake, but Luo Yong's luck recently was even more heaven-defying; not only did he meet Li Chen, the greatest opportunity of the era, but someone in his family was also promoted to a high official position.

The original Minister of Personnel had made some mistakes, and coupled with his advanced age, Li Chen had already hinted that he would return to his hometown after handling the matters at hand, which could be considered a good ending.

The new Minister of Personnel was named Luo Hui, who was a collateral relative of Luo Yong; they were considered the same family, but the blood relationship wasn't that close.

But Luo Yong had a subtle relationship with Li Chen, had received Li Chen's pointers, and was personally instructed by Li Chen to join the imperial court.

Hearing that there was such a thing, the Minister of Personnel, Luo Hui, would definitely take care of this family member.

Luo Yong and Fang Gan also caught up with the recent expansion and successfully entered the Ministry of Personnel through the assessment.

Normally, most officials in the Ministry of Personnel were civil officials, and no one expected two young people with very high cultivation talent to come in.

Fang Gan also officially started his days of mixing in the imperial capital.

On the very first day they joined the Ministry of Personnel, Luo Yong met his old enemy, the troublemaker Xu Zifeng from before.
