Chapter 514: You can go up the mountain of knives and down the sea of fire

The two probed each other for a while, and Li Chen also understood Venerable Hidden Moon's meaning.

There was infighting in the sect, and the rebels had been solved by him, but his vitality was severely damaged, and he needed a large amount of resource replenishment.

Li Chen indicated that there were some high-quality mineral veins and mystical realms in the west, which could be left to the Ten Nether Profound Underworld Palace to mine, and the Ministry of Works was also planning new rail train lines recently, so let Venerable Hidden Moon send people to connect.

If there were any other needs, Venerable Hidden Moon could go to the Sect Affairs Department to provide feedback. As a big sect of Tian Ce, the stability of the western sects still needed Venerable Hidden Moon to contribute more.

Hearing this, Venerable Hidden Moon's face showed joy; these were all resources and support he urgently needed!

What made him even more excited was that His Majesty's words clearly elevated the Ten Nether Profound Underworld Palace to the position of "leader of the western sects."

This was personally recognized by His Majesty, so who would dare to say anything?

Originally, the Ten Nether Profound Underworld Palace had this "bige" (status).

He immediately bowed deeply, his voice even trembling: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace! Your subject will certainly do my best to develop the sect and work hard for the stability and prosperity of Tian Ce. Your Majesty's heart embraces the world, and your grace covers all living beings; you are truly a wise monarch through the ages!"

Li Chen waved his hand: "Sect Master Hidden Moon, you are too kind; this is all what you deserve."

Li Chen still enjoyed listening to flattery from people of this level.

Venerable Hidden Moon became even more respectful: "Your Majesty may not know, the western sects have always been unruly. Now with Your Majesty's support, our Ten Nether Profound Underworld Palace will certainly be able to assist the imperial court in stabilizing the region. Your Majesty's move is truly a blessing for the millions of cultivators in the west!"

The two exchanged pleasantries for a while longer, and Venerable Hidden Moon, seeing that his goal had been achieved, tactfully took his leave.

Eunuch Cui personally sent him out of the palace gate, and Venerable Hidden Moon suddenly took out a jade bottle from his sleeve and stuffed it over: "Superintendent Cui works hard day and night. This is the 'Mysterious Spirit Jade Liquid' specially made by our sect, which is slightly beneficial to cultivation."

Eunuch Cui hurriedly declined: "How can this be..."

Venerable Hidden Moon insisted on giving it: "A mere thin gift, not a sign of respect. In the future, I will still have to rely on Superintendent Cui to say a few good words in front of His Majesty."

Saying this, he stuffed the jade bottle into Eunuch Cui's sleeve without allowing refusal.

With his level, giving it forcefully, Eunuch Cui really couldn't refuse.

Returning to the Imperial Study, Eunuch Cui immediately presented the jade bottle: "Your Majesty, Venerable Hidden Moon forcefully stuffed this to this old servant..."

Li Chen glanced at it: "Mysterious Spirit Jade Liquid? It is indeed a good thing. Since he gave it to you, you keep it."

"This old servant dare not." Eunuch Cui knew that this thing was truly precious; even the royal family didn't have much, and it was priceless and unmarketable.

Li Chen said faintly: "No matter, your cultivation indeed needs to be improved."

Only then did Eunuch Cui receive it with thousands of thanks.

As a personal eunuch, he knew too well when to show loyalty and when to accept gifts, all depending on His Majesty's eyes.

Even if he wanted it, he had to get Li Chen's permission, so he could accept it with peace of mind.

Eunuch Cui had always been a sensible person. Being able to mix to this point, he couldn't be sober when he should play dumb, and he must never be confused when he should be sober.

As the saying goes, accompanying the monarch is like accompanying a tiger. Don't look at Li Chen's easygoing performance, but if you provoke him, it is also a death sentence.

Eunuch Cui was very clear about this point.

Around dusk, Li Chen had just finished approving memorials and returned to the harem when he heard a burst of silver bell-like laughter.

He saw his younger sister, Li Sining, lifting her skirt and running over bouncily: "Brother! I heard the Eternal Day Prince offered you a treasure? Let me see~"

Li Chen rubbed her head dotingly: "You girl, you only think about playing all day long." ===== CHAPTER 515 =====
