Chapter 957

It was precisely thanks to the aid of the Sacred Ancestor Jiang Daoxuan that the "Cangling Profound Art" could become its current final version!

This art is divided into nine chapters; the first chapter corresponds to the three realms of Body Refining, Blood Coagulation, and Bone Forging, and is widely disseminated among the common people.

It is used to benefit the populace, allowing them to strengthen their bodies, remain invulnerable to hundreds of illnesses, and live long lives of a hundred years.

The second chapter cultivates the Postnatal Realm; since practitioners at this realm possess extraordinary physiques capable of fighting one against a hundred with great destructive power, they easily cause unnecessary conflicts.

Therefore, to stabilize the situation and prevent internal unrest, its circulation among the common people has been "temporarily" prohibited, and it is circulated only within the military.

Once the Cangling Dynasty gradually stabilizes and its foundation grows powerful, consideration will be given to disseminating the second chapter to the common people!

The third chapter cultivates the Innate Realm and contains methods for condensing true qi, and it is circulated within the military.

From the fourth chapter, the Purple Mansion Realm, to the ninth chapter, the Myriad Phenomena Realm, Cangling soldiers must exchange military merit to obtain them.

Besides the "Cangling Profound Art," numerous other cultivation techniques and resources can also be exchanged for using military merit.

These resources come from the Great Qin national treasury and the Cangwu Merchant Association.

Presumably, within a few days, the many resources from the Great Qian national treasury will also be transported here to fill the Cangling national treasury.

Subsequently, after Jiang Shan finished discussing this matter with Nangong Zhantian.

His eyes shifted slightly as if he had thought of something, and he couldn't help but say, "During these past days, have you discovered any traces of Gu Zheng, the Prefect of Yanling Prefecture?"

With the fall of the Great Qin, the thirty-six prefectures were reorganized.

During this process, the prefects of the other thirty-five prefectures all responded, cooperating fully and striving to help the Cangling Dynasty master this world as quickly as possible.

Yet there was this one unexpected exception that remained unresolved for a long time.

That was Gu Zheng, the Prefect of Yanling Prefecture, whose whereabouts remained unknown to this day!

If not for having someone use the art of deduction to confirm that the other party was still alive.

He would have feared that the other party had already perished long ago.

At this moment, responding to Jiang Shan's question, Nangong Zhantian hurriedly replied, "Reporting to Your Majesty, we have not discovered any traces of Prefect Gu; after countless deductions, we confirmed he possesses a magic treasure capable of blocking deduction, or perhaps has arranged an array that isolates against deduction..."

Jiang Shan rubbed his head, feeling utterly speechless.

Clearly serving as the master of a prefecture, he had never once appeared to inquire about any affairs within the prefecture.

Instead, he chose to enter closed-door cultivation day after day, year after year.

All these behaviors made him seem like an outsider.

Or as if he were afraid of something.

"Gu Zheng, you are a noble prefect possessing a cultivation base of the ninth level of the Sun Wheel Realm; exactly what are you afraid of?"

Jiang Shan felt greatly perplexed and fell into deep thought.

Seeing this, Yuwen Feng, serving as Prime Minister, immediately cupped his hands and asked, "Your Majesty, since we alone cannot ascertain Prefect Gu's whereabouts, why not invite the Sacred Ancestor to perform a deduction? The Sacred Ancestor possesses talents that span heaven and earth; deducing a mere Sun Wheel Realm cultivator should surely not be difficult."

Jiang Shan waved his hand: "Minister Yuwen, just as you said, that Gu Zheng is merely a Sun Wheel Realm cultivator."

"The Sacred Ancestor is busy; he must absolutely not be disturbed by such trivial matters."

"Moreover, the survival or death of Prefect Gu has little impact on our Cangling; let him be. When he emerges from closed-door cultivation, he will naturally visit Wang Cheng to meet with this King..."

Speaking thus, Jiang Shan faced the assembly of officials and issued an edict: "A prefecture cannot be without a master for a single day; since Prefect Gu is absent, temporarily appoint Vice-Prefect Zhu Yi to assume the position of Prefect of Yanling Prefecture and take charge of governing all local affairs!"

"We obey your command!"
