Chapter 268 Yan Shifan: The surrounding countries have their own way to death! Yan Mansion, in the lobby. "Master, I will sue first..." Hu Zongxian stood up to salute Yan Song and was about to leave, but before he could finish his words, he felt a terrifying spiritual pressure coming down on him like an overwhelming force. "Master?!" Hu Zongxian, whose cultivation had reached the middle stage of foundation building and was about to break through to the late stage, turned around suddenly, only to find that Master Yan, whose cultivation was higher than his, had already a look of horror on his face. "A breakthrough, Your Majesty has made a breakthrough!" Suddenly, Yan Song's old face full of wrinkles was filled with emotion. The emperor has finally broken through to the Nascent Soul stage! It is precisely because he started practicing Taoism and witnessed the world of Taoism that Yan Song knew more clearly how powerful the Nascent Soul stage was. Of course, it is also more clear how important it would be if the Ming Dynasty had an ancestor-level cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage. Although the cultivation level of the Nascent Soul stage is nothing in the vast world of immortal cultivation, in front of some major sects, a strong person with this level of cultivation is at most a middle or high level. But if there had been an ancestor-level figure in the Nascent Soul stage by Yan Shifan's side that day, the young master of the Lu family would certainly not have been so presumptuous.
At least in one force, having a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage can represent a lot of things. After all, in such a large world of cultivation, not everyone can cultivate to the Nascent Soul stage. If one wants to become a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage, what is represented behind him is not only personal talent, but also the foundation of the sect and family. So generally speaking, unless it is necessary, no one is willing to offend a force with a Nascent Soul for no reason. Now, the emperor has finally broken through to the Nascent Soul stage! Moreover, this is even more important to them than having a certain survival guarantee in the world of immortal cultivation. The development of the Ming Dynasty strictly follows a power tower system tacitly approved by the emperor, that is, from top to bottom, the cultivation level of each layer is stronger than the previous one. In other words, now that the emperor has broken through to the Nascent Soul stage, the cultivation of these people must at least break through to the Golden Core stage. Officials of the six ministries and other departments can also relatively break through to the foundation-building stage or even the golden elixir stage. Those millions of soldiers can also break through to the late stage of Qi training, and even some elite troops are allowed to break through to the foundation-building stage. In this way, layer by layer, the strength of the entire Ming Dynasty will be enhanced, which is extremely terrifying! "Nascent Soul Stage!?" Upon hearing what Lord Yan said, Hu Zongxian reacted suddenly and then showed joy on his face. The emperor has broken through to the Nascent Soul stage, which means that the entire Ming Dynasty will usher in a collective breakthrough. Hu Zongxian naturally understood this truth! "Although the emperor has only been in seclusion for more than 20 years, it has been nearly 30 years since the last highland political meeting," Hu Zongxian said, looking at Yan Song with excitement in his tone, "Sir, do you think the emperor will convene a highland political meeting this time?" "Yes!" Yan Song answered without hesitation. Hu Zongxian also nodded heavily and said, "Whenever the emperor has a major breakthrough in his cultivation, he will hold a meeting on the plateau to discuss politics as usual, and this time he will definitely do the same." "Besides, it's only a few days until the end of the year. After the New Year, it will be the 100th year of Jiajing. Such a major event must be treated seriously." The terrifying aura that erupted from his Nascent Soul stage cultivation was retracted by Jiajing in just a moment, but it also made all the cultivators in the entire Ming Dynasty feel it. The higher the level of cultivation, the stronger the sensitivity to this spiritual pressure.
Some cultivators in the early stages of Qi training with low cultivation levels were only panicked for a moment, but this sudden change was enough to make everyone talk about it. Prince Yu's Mansion. At this moment, Prince Yu and Zhu Yijun also stood up suddenly and looked towards the direction of Yanshan Mountain. "Father has broken through to the Nascent Soul stage!" Prince Yu widened his eyes with surprise and joy in his eyes. Ever since he knew that his hopes of becoming the crown prince were slim, he had lost interest in that position. Even though news had spread in the palace before that his father had not given up on him and Prince Jing, he did not feel any fluctuations in his heart. Whether it was to balance the kings or to maintain the stability of the court, he didn't care. In fact, his idea was very simple. First, to let Zhu Yijun take the position of Crown Prince as much as possible. Second, to vigorously develop the power of Prince Yu's Mansion during this period. Therefore, his mentality changed, and what he thought in his heart also changed. For example, before he was thinking about when his father would abdicate, but now he wants his father to stay on the throne as long as possible! After all, as long as the emperor is on the throne, the kings will always be kings. No matter if they are the crown prince or the crown prince's grandson, there is actually not much difference, because there is always an emperor above them to suppress them. In this case, the crown prince and the crown prince are just titles, and everyone should just look forward to their own interests in the end. Now that my father’s cultivation has broken through to the Nascent Soul stage, it means that his lifespan will increase to more than 1,200 years. In this way, my father’s reign will only last longer! "Father, the Emperor has broken through to the Nascent Soul stage. Doesn't that mean that after the Emperor, everyone's cultivation can be further improved?" Zhu Yijun asked after he calmed down. The Ming Dynasty had an invisible power tower system, which was known to all the upper echelons, and Zhu Yijun naturally knew it as well. Firstly, it was impossible for everyone to cultivate faster than Jiajing. Secondly, if the people below were too powerful, it would affect the imperial power, so everyone did not dare to be too radical. Of course, the fact is that even if they are radical, they may not be able to surpass Jiajing. After all, as the cultivation level increases, the gap between monks will become larger. Of course, there is a more important reason, that is, everyone is counting on Jiajing to make a breakthrough in their cultivation! For example, Lu Fang, who has now broken through to the early stage of the Golden Core, if he were to practice on his own without the cultivation reward of his natal field, I'm afraid his current cultivation level would still be at the Foundation Establishment stage. And if you want to break through to the Nascent Soul stage, it will be even more difficult! Therefore, the reason why all the people's cultivation has reached the current level in such a short period of time is entirely because of their natal Tian Enshang. After all, that is a direct reward for cultivation! Compared with other methods, this kind of cultivation method is completely different from the difference between heaven and earth. Senior officials only need to work hard to polish their natal objects, and let them feed back to their natal fields. During this process, they don’t even need to practice hard. They can improve their cultivation just by lying down. Isn’t that great? In fact, the high-ranking officials of the imperial court knew in their hearts that given their physical fitness, time spent in cultivation, and their not-so-outstanding destiny, it was simply a pipe dream to break the shackles of lifespan and achieve immortality. Therefore, they can only rely on the emperor. Without the emperor, all of their dreams of immortality will be shattered! The same is true. Even if all the senior leaders know that there is an invisible power tower system that is suppressing everyone's cultivation progress, they will not think it is bad, but will support it! After all, it is precisely because of the existence of this invisible power tower system that they are in high positions and their power can be supported. Only when their own power is ensured, can they practice with peace of mind, without having to worry about being "exposed offline" by those who are far superior to them! "That's right!" Upon hearing this, Prince Yu nodded, and then looked at his son Zhu Yijun with some satisfaction, and said: "Yijun, thanks to you, after choosing Prince An, you handed over your life!" "Otherwise, after this, my Prince Yu's Mansion will be outdone by others!"
Zhu Yijun could naturally understand the meaning. In the current Ming Dynasty, the person with the highest cultivation level is undoubtedly the Emperor Jiajing, followed by Lu Fang and Lu Bing, and closely behind him is his father and fourth uncle. But if my father and fourth uncle still do not hand in their lives as they did in the past, then from now on, I may not be able to stay firmly in the second echelon of cultivation. After all, if they don't hand over their natal objects, it won't be the turn of my father and fourth uncle to be rewarded with cultivation by the Emperor. In fact, if my father and fourth uncle had not handed over their lives, even with the huge resources given to them privately by the emperor, it would have been impossible for them to break through to the Jindan stage in such a short time. Moreover, as the realm of cultivation continues to improve, the gap between each realm becomes larger and larger. Even if my father and fourth uncle have a lot of resources bestowed by the emperor, after a long time, they cannot compare with the cheating-like cultivation speed of others! In addition, what concerned Zhu Yijun the most was that, as far as he knew, his father's natal object had not been found yet. And what's strange is that no one in the court knows what his father's destiny is, not even he knows. What puzzled him the most was that even though Prince Yu’s Mansion had a natal field on the natal plateau, his father occupied one of them alone, as if he was deliberately hiding it. "It is my duty to share my father's worries!" Zhu Yijun said with a bow. Today's Zhu Yijun has long since transformed from the elegant young man into a steady middle-aged man. Even if he knew some things in his heart, he would not ask them. His father's fate must be a secret, and since his father was unwilling to tell him, he would not go into it. The news that Jiajing's cultivation had broken through to the Nascent Soul stage spread like wildfire, and all the officials of the Ming Dynasty became excited for a moment. The old foxes with a keen sense of smell have already sensed that when the emperor comes out of seclusion this time, he will definitely convene a plateau meeting to discuss politics at the end of the year. After all, that was thirty years’ worth of year-end bonus! As the national policy of Qi Shi's reform became more and more popular, and as commerce rose, overseas countries such as the British East India Company and the Dutch East India Company emerged. To the extent that business has become a culture, like many nouns that pop up one after another. Commercial products such as "company", "company annual meeting", "year-end summary", "year-end bonus" and so on have sprung up in the Ming Dynasty like mushrooms after rain. The Ming Dynasty today has become a dynasty that is transitioning towards a modern immortal cultivation civilization under the background of the spiritual industrial era. Even the ministers often make some light-hearted jokes in private, such as referring to the annual performance rating as the year-end summary or year-end bonus. This time, it was learned that the Emperor's cultivation might break through to the Nascent Soul stage. In addition, in less than a month, it would be the 100th year of Jiajing. So many happy events and grand days were gathering together. Anyone who is attentive would have guessed that a plateau political meeting would be held this time. For those minor officials under the six ministries, there would naturally be performance evaluations every year. But for high-ranking officials in the six ministries, the Inspectorate, the Hanlin Academy, and the Cabinet, what they are looking forward to more are the rewards for their cultivation that have not been paid out in the past thirty years. Having reached their status and power, the year-end bonus that they value is no longer just a reward of wealth and resources. What they value more is the feedback from the cultivation of their natal field. In fact, not only have they worked hard for thirty years to polish their natal objects and feed back the cultivation of their natal fields, but there will also be feedback from others. When the time comes, they will be rewarded more according to their political achievements. In other words, in addition to the cultivation that should have been given back in these thirty years, there is also the blessing of political achievements. Well, there are also many people who, if they make mistakes, will have a portion of their rewards cut and then added to their side. In other words, although on the surface it appears to be thirty years of cultivation to repay the reward, in fact it is more than thirty years.
Especially now, those officials whose cultivation is stuck at the breakthrough level are secretly looking forward to it. With this reward, perhaps it is not impossible for them to cross to a higher realm. As for Yan Song and others, they are now in the late stage of foundation building. With the cultivation of the past thirty years, breaking through to the Golden Core stage is a foregone conclusion. As for Lu Fang and Lu Bing, the two of them have been practicing in the Jindan stage for decades and are more likely to break through to the middle Jindan stage at once. In short, everyone was waiting for the news from the palace for the whole day. Nanjing City, Liaison Office. Yan Shifan went out at noon and arrived at the Nanjing City Garrison Office in the evening. "The Emperor has finally broken through to the Nascent Soul stage!" In front of the window, after reading the message sent by his father, Yan Shifan put away the photo stone in his hand, stared out the window for a long time, and was very excited. Precisely because he had experienced the humiliation in the world of cultivating immortals, he now understood more clearly the importance of having someone to back him up. If the emperor's cultivation level is that of a nine-tribulation immortal, then he would be invincible in the entire world of immortal cultivation. Even if the emperor takes action, he can destroy the so-called Lu family at any time. Even the academy will not interfere. After all, it is unwise to offend a Nine Tribulations Immortal for the sake of a family. In the past, Yan Shifan did not quite understand his father's dependence on the emperor. Even though he knew that the Ming Dynasty would most likely be handed over to the new emperor in the future, he was absolutely unwilling to take sides in the fight between the kings and always followed the emperor's lead. Although he figured it out afterwards, he would not deny the benefits that investing in the new emperor would bring to the Yan family. However, after this, he finally understood the painstaking efforts of his father Yan Song. Because only the Yan family relies on the emperor, the Yan family can do whatever they want within the scope allowed by the emperor. Even as long as you help the emperor get things done and make him satisfied, it’s okay to be a little greedy within a certain range. For everyone in the Ming Dynasty, the Xian Dynasty is their backer, and for the Yan family, the powerful Xian Dynasty is their confidence, and the emperor is their only support. It was also at this moment that Yan Shifan secretly swore in his heart that no matter when, he would remain steadfast in his loyalty to the emperor! "Therefore, this spiritual stone is poisoning the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty cannot turn around in the future. It must be killed in time!" "Tramp, tramp, tramp." Just as he was thinking this in his heart, a burst of hurried footsteps sounded behind Yan Shifan. A middle-aged official with a big belly, a face full of sweat, and wearing a scarlet official robe, said hurriedly as soon as he entered the door: "Your subordinate, I am the governor of the garrison, Wen Tiren, and I am honored to meet the young minister!" Behind Wen Tiren, there was a middle-aged man with dark skin and wearing a scarlet official robe. Compared with the fear and trepidation of the governor Wen Tiren when facing Yan Shifan, this man was neither humble nor arrogant. "Your humble servant, the deputy governor, Wang Jiayan, greets the elder." Wang Jiayan spoke in a calm tone and performed politely, with an extraordinary demeanor. There are two types of titles for "Grand Master" in official circles. One is the formal title in the court, which naturally only refers to Yan Song, the chief minister of the cabinet, and Xu Jie, the second minister. The second type is a respectful title used by ordinary officials to address all the people in the cabinet. After all, cabinet officials used to be called Grand Secretaries in the past. However, since the number of cabinet members increased, the three palaces and three pavilions were no longer enough, and there were still three vacancies. As for the people below, even if they wanted to address him, they didn't know how to address him. If the person came from the three halls and three pavilions, it would be fine, but if not, wouldn't it be embarrassing? It’s better to just call him “Lord” directly. After all, there is an unwritten rule in official circles, which is that when addressing your superiors, you should call them as loudly as possible, and it will never go wrong. The people in the cabinet also acquiesced to the title of "Lao Ge". It was not because they were greedy for fame and glory, but because they wanted to give their subordinates a decent status and avoid embarrassing others. Even Gao Gong, who had a hot temper and was upright, would acquiesce when his subordinates called him "Lord".
After taking a look at the two of them, Yan Shifan almost instantly identified that they were traitors. There is no doubt that the Chief of the Liaison Office, Wen Tiren, is a complete waste and a treacherous villain! At this time, Yan Shifan, who was holding his breath, had already decided in his heart that he would make an example of someone and completely eradicate the spirit stone business in Nanjing City. The spiritual stone business has penetrated deeply into the Ming Dynasty and is very involved. It is impossible to eliminate it all at once. However, if a bloody elimination and suppression is carried out directly in a certain place, Yan Shifan thinks that this is just a matter of words. It just so happened that he was feeling very angry right now and had to find someone to vent his anger on! In a flash, Yan Shifan didn't bother to pay attention to Wen Tihen and turned around to sit in the top seat. Wen Tiren's fat body was bent, and his pair of big round eyes were rolling around. Although he was not very capable as an official and was extremely corrupt, he had the ability to read people's expressions and words without any instruction, and over the years he had perfected it. His keen sense of officialdom told him that this young cabinet minister suddenly came to Nanjing City, most likely because of the spiritual stone business, and he came with ill intentions! "Could it be that he wants to extort money?" Wen Tiren guessed secretly in his heart. He naturally knew that the Yan family was the most treacherous family in the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, he was not worried that the other party was here to enforce justice, but felt that the Yan family might have seen the huge profits of the Lingshi business in Nanjing City and wanted to get involved. After all, the Yan family is thriving in all walks of life in Nanjing City. Not to mention the spirit stone business, even in the regular business, the resources they earn every year are unimaginable. But with today's huge market for spiritual stones, there is a lot to be made. After all, which family would complain that the resources they have are too few? "Hiss," Wen Tiren's fat head instantly made a turn, and he took a deep breath, thinking to himself: "If I can get in touch with the Yan family through this, wouldn't that mean I have a strong backer?" Well, Wen Tiren can be considered a real lucky man. This person was born in the 53rd year of Jiajing. In early September of the 49th year of the Jiajing reign, the Daming Immortal Palace opened for school and enrolled the first batch of immortal seedlings, totaling 12,000. By the fifty-third year of the Jiajing reign, the Daming Immortal Palace had already begun recruiting the third batch of immortal seedlings. Moreover, the standards for recruiting immortal seedlings have long since transitioned from the children of high-ranking officials to ordinary officials and civilians. At that time, the entry and exit conditions of the Daming Immortal Palace had been changed to a three-year term. In other words, if one reached the third level of Qi training within three years, one could be arranged by the court to serve in various places in the court. As for now, there is more flexibility. The Daming Immortal Palace no longer recruits students directly, but instead recruits students from various major academies and then assigns them to places based on their aptitude. Of course, if you want to enter the Imperial College, that is also possible, and you can enter directly without taking an exam! By the time Wen Tiren reached the age to be selected, that is, when he was six years old, it was already the 59th year of Jiajing. He then entered the Daming Immortal Palace and became part of the fifth batch of immortal seedlings. After that, his cultivation speed was even faster than before. Although he was not among the best in the Immortal Residence, he had reached the third level of Qi training before leaving the Immortal Residence. At that time, Wen Tiren was only nine years old. But don’t underestimate the third level of Qi training. In the 59th year of Jiajing, this level of cultivation was a true genius! In the 59th year of the Jiajing reign, it was only one year since Xu Fan proposed the national policy of "Spiritual Energy Industrial Era". At that time, Xu Fan had already begun selecting a large number of talents as reserves for the spiritual energy industry era. At that time, the nine-year-old Wen Tiren, as a genius at the third level of Qi training, entered the Imperial College to continue his studies and began his career as an official. He also took the then Imperial College chief academic officer as his teacher. In the 60th year of the Jiajing reign, Wen Tihen was ten years old. Although he had not made any breakthroughs in his cultivation, he had dabbled in many theories of various schools of thought.
Afterwards, the national policy of the spiritual industry era was proposed. Wen Tiren, despite his teacher's retention, gave up the opportunity to be recommended to the Hanlin Academy and resolutely joined the "Xianming Heavy Industry Institute" to take up a position. This stay lasted for more than ten years! It was not until the 70th year of the Jiajing reign that Xu Jie returned to the cabinet and the Xu family began to purge various forces within the Ministry of Works. At that time, Wen Tiren, who was marginalized everywhere because he did not stand on any side, decided to leave. At that time, he was 27 years old. It was the 77th year of Jiajing, and the Lingshi trade had been opened for a year! And his reason was very good. At that time, the spiritual energy industry era was in full swing. Nanjing City, as the first major city for cultivating immortals in the Ming Dynasty, was the center of the spiritual energy industry era. People like him who have both cultivation and experience, and both knowledge and knowledge are extremely rare. After that, this person started his career in Nanjing. Because he understood engineering, many projects could not bypass him. Naturally, he took advantage of the spirit stone trade and started to come into contact with spirit stones, and then officials protected each other. The ranks kept rising. Even though the imperial court ordered the two factories and one guard to withdraw, many officials still chose to stick to their path and gave up the only chance to clean themselves up and get out. (Note: See Chapter 258 for details.) Wen Tiren is one of the highest-ranking officials among them! Because at that time, he had already taken the position of the Liaison Officer by relying on the huge network of contacts he had accumulated over the years. Of course, his predecessor was Hai Rui. After the predecessor was cleansed and came ashore, he was transferred out of Nanjing, and then it was his turn. After taking a quick glance at the stone image, Yan Shifan said calmly, "This time, I came here because the spiritual stones are rampant and endangering the Ming Dynasty." Having said that, Yan Shifan didn't bother to talk nonsense. He took out a stack of case files from his storage ring and threw them on the ground. "Wen Tiren, these are all evidence of your crimes of corruption, bribery, sheltering underground gangs, and smuggling spirit stones!" "Someone, take it!" What?! Looking at the files scattered all over the floor, Wen Tiren's eyes suddenly widened, his face full of disbelief. He never expected that Yan Shifan didn't even want to talk to him and just directly presented his evidence of guilt. While Wen Tiren was shocked, two Immortal Guards appeared like ghosts, grabbed Wen Tiren on the left and right, and at the same time a "Soul Binding Ring" was put directly on his hands. His cultivation level in the late stage of Qi training was instantly sealed. Of course, with his cultivation level in the late stage of Qi training, even if he was not sealed, he would have no room to resist facing two immortal guards whose cultivation levels were unknown but who were able to protect Yan Shifan. "My Lord, I am your humble subject, your humble subject..." With his body held up, Wen Tiren knelt on the ground, his whole body trembling. Looking at Wen Tiren, who was trembling all over and as fat as a pig below, a hint of disgust flashed in Yan Shifan's eyes. It is really hard to imagine how talented this man was when he was young. The officialdom corrupts people's hearts, power is fascinating, and the temptation of immortality can make people change their nature. But, for people with this kind of character, this is where it ends. The Yan family has a large number of tigers and wolves under their command, some of whom are many times more greedy than Wen Tiren, but each of them is an elite. In Yan Shifan's eyes, the only redeeming quality of Wen Tihen was his stunning performance as a teenager. Now that he was kneeling, with an ugly look of fear on his face, even that last bit of brilliant performance had disappeared without a trace. "Take him away and interrogate all the people doing spirit stone business in Nanjing!" Yan Shifan waved his hand.
"Yes!" The two Xianwu guards turned and left. With the power of the Yan family, it would be easy for them to find out about all the big and small spirit stone smuggling businesses in Nanjing. Yan Shifan came in a hurry and only received the evidence sent by his subordinates about the chief of the Liaison Office, Wen Tihen. It seemed that the people below were still preparing the evidence. However, Yan Shifan was too lazy to waste time. With the Immortal Guards around, he was not afraid that Wen Tihen would not tell the truth. At this time, only Yan Shifan and Wang Jiayan were left in the lobby. "You are very good, neither humble nor arrogant." Yan Shifan glanced at Wang Jiayan's file and nodded slightly. Although he did not perform as well as Wen Tihen when he was young, he was still a rare good official. Unfortunately, over the years, his power as the deputy governor has been almost non-existent and has long been sidelined. There were some evidences that he simply could not submit, and if he did, he and his family would be implicated. "I think you should have a lot of evidence about Wen Tiren's smuggling of spirit stones and corruption and bribery, right?" Yan Shifan's tone became much kinder. When he thought about how he would kill to his heart's content and get rid of harm to the people, and maybe even gain a good reputation, he felt secretly excited. After all, the emperor’s cultivation has now broken through the Nascent Soul stage, and he might soon convene a meeting on the plateau to discuss politics. This is also a significant performance. At this time, Wang Jiayan had already been confused by this notoriously treacherous and evil young cabinet minister. Even though he was always calm and composed, he was shocked at this moment. I don't understand what this young cabinet minister, who is known for his great treachery and evil, is keeping secret. But it seems that he is here to deal with the smuggling of spirit stones, and he directly arrested Zheng Liushou. "Could it be that he was sent by the imperial court to deal with it..." Thinking in his heart, Wang Jiayan did not slow down and took out bundles of files from the storage bag, saying: "These are the evidences I have collected over the years!" Wang Jiayan knew that this was his only chance, as this young minister seemed to be serious about it. Moreover, appointing a chief minister to stay in the capital right from the start would inevitably alarm the entire cabinet, so it was very likely that Yan Shifan was serious about this. Yan Shifan scanned the file with his spiritual sense and began to look at the evidence file provided by Wang Jiayan. After a short while, Yan Shifan's eyes were gloomy and he said: "This bastard actually dared to secretly sell normal spiritual resources to neighboring countries, Siam, Korea, and Toungoo..." "Okay, okay," Yan Shifan sneered as he looked at the files, "He is really a corrupt official! And these small countries around him are really asking for death!" After saying that, Yan Shifan said coldly: "Someone come!" "Shua!" A figure of the Immortal Warrior appeared, "Lord." "Send a message to the King of Siam, the King of Korea, and the King of Toungoo, asking them to come to me. I will give them one day!" "If you don't come, then wait for your country to be destroyed!" Of course, the reason why Yan Shifan dared to ask the kings of the surrounding countries to come and see him was because these surrounding countries had violated the taboos that the Ming Dynasty absolutely could not touch! That is to secretly develop a large number of normal monks!
Yan Shifan became furious when he thought about the fact that these small countries colluded with Ming officials and secretly coveted more normal spiritual resources than the families in overseas countries. What is this trying to do? Develop an immortal cultivation dynasty right under the nose of the Ming Dynasty? All along, the Ming Dynasty has only been concerned about overseas countries. The surrounding small countries thought that they dared not to act recklessly and just became the Ming Dynasty's factories. Now they dare to offend it! It’s simply a matter of taking death! Even if this matter is reported, the cabinet will never tolerate it! Besides, he was just the ruler of a small country. In Yan Shifan's eyes, he was no different from a pariah! Well, not even as good as an ordinary citizen of the Ming Dynasty! "..." (End of this chapter)
