Chapter 127 Ninth Level Grandmaster
"Your Majesty, I have a brother-in-law who is loyal, kind, upright, and good at business. He was previously the magistrate of Danhe County."

"Since taking office, Danhe County has been thriving, the people have lived and worked in peace, and even the demons and monsters have been killed. He has made great contributions, so I think that the wise man should be promoted regardless of his relationship with the family. My wife's brother can be promoted to the position of governor of Jiuliang County."

……

Zhao Jintian walked forward with a smile and presented the Lingji Pill.

"Shocking disaster!"

"Shocking thorn!"

……

At this moment, Lu Changjing suddenly launched an attack. The Shocking Eyes Tribulation made Zhao Jintian stunned for a moment, and the Shocking Soul Thorn opened his spiritual defense weapon with unstoppable force.

"Soul-picking technique!"

The soul-picking hook took advantage of this moment and plucked away a wisp of Zhao Jintian's three souls and seven spirits, and captured him.

With Lu Changjing's current strength, even without the help of Cao Wenzhen, Nie Sha and others, he can easily break through the grandmaster's defense and enslave him.

Of course, this was a sudden and unprepared situation. Just like Nie Sha, Cao Wenzhen and others, Zhao Jintian had never thought that the Emperor would suddenly attack him.

Moreover, when did His Majesty the Emperor become so powerful!

As expected of the Minister of Personnel, Zhao Jintian was stunned for a moment, then immediately bowed down and said, "I am terrified. I don't know what I have done wrong. Your Majesty wants to treat me like this?"

"Selling official positions and titles, colluding with evil spirits, disrupting the government, corruption and bribery...are these enough?" Lu Changjing said bluntly.

Zhao Jintian was stunned for a moment, thinking that you had tacitly approved many things, but how could he say such words directly: "Your Majesty, I am wronged. I was forced to do many things because of the peace talks."

"What you mean is that I was wrong, but who formulated the policy of peace talks, and who has been following it?" Lu Changjing looked at Zhao Jintian with a smile.

Zhao Jintian felt a chill all over his body. "This... this was set by the late emperor, and we, the ministers entrusted with the care of the young emperor, have been following it."

"The national policy of the late emperor does not mean that I am willing to follow it. It does not matter that I did not have the strength before, but I could only allow you traitors to cause chaos in the government and the country. Don't even think about such a thing again in the future." Lu Changjing said in a cold voice.

Zhao Jintian's face suddenly changed and he was speechless.

Lu Changjing didn't want to listen to his explanation, so he directly controlled his three souls and seven spirits, making him unconscious, then stole all his memories and learned about his background and evil deeds.

Afterwards, he was asked to hand over all the resources and treasures he had plundered over the years, and he would continue to be the Minister of Personnel. After all, a grandmaster is rare, and he cannot die in such a meaningless way.

However, from now on, the Ministry of Personnel will be Lu Changjing's one-man show, and he will have to do whatever Lu Changjing asks him to do.

At this point, three of the six powerful departments of the Daning Dynasty were completely in the hands of Lu Changjing, namely the Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of Justice, and the Ministry of Personnel.

Moreover, the importance of these three departments can be said to be second only to the Ministry of War, and the three together far exceed the other three.

To put it bluntly, the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of Rites combined are not enough to defeat the Ministry of Revenue, and they are also constrained by the Ministry of Revenue.

Together with the thirty-six guards of the imperial city, the Embroidered Uniform Guard, all the eunuchs, all the palace maids... half of the Daning Dynasty is now completely in the hands of Lu Changjing.

People feel refreshed when good things happen to them. Not long after taking over the Ministry of Personnel, Lu Changjing's energy and spirit were cultivated to the extreme and he began to break through the bottlenecks and shackles.

As usual, he first attacked the bottleneck of Qi Refining, methodically mobilizing the power of the Imperial Qi, bombarding the bottleneck again and again, without any effect on the spirit veins and Dantian, allowing the bombardment to become more and more powerful. After transforming into a demigod body, Lu Changjing's physique increased a lot, and he was able to effectively withstand various bombardments.

“Boom boom boom… boom boom… boom boom boom…”

The blows were bold and fierce, and the force was so great that it would scare the hell out of any Grandmaster of the same level.

Any impact could easily destroy their spiritual veins and dantian, so they simply didn't dare to do that.

But Lu Changjing treated such shocks as commonplace.

"Rumble..."

Before long, the bottleneck dam was blown to pieces, and broken limbs were scattered all over the ground.

Ninth level Grandmaster!

Lu Changjing's cultivation level has officially entered the ninth-order Grandmaster level. The next level corresponds to the tenth-order Grandmaster, which is also the pinnacle level of the Daning Dynasty.

He methodically consolidated and adapted to the rapidly increasing Qi Refining skills, and once they were stabilized, he began to take elixirs to transform them into Imperial Qi.

After the imperial true qi filled his dantian, Lu Changjing began to forge the ninth spiritual vein.

The first eight spiritual veins have already occupied 80% of the area in his body. Each spiritual vein is nine kilometers long, and eight of them are 72 kilometers long.

It is winding and mysterious, covering every part of Lu Changjing's body, and can effectively nourish and improve it.

This is the horror of spiritual veins, and also the horror of the vein-forging master.

The reason why the vein-forging masters of this world possess the power to block rivers and stop their flow is mainly because of this cultivation system, which endows them with such amazing strength and long lifespan.

Looking through many worlds, even in the martial arts novels of previous lives, those masters who had reached the grandmaster level of martial arts rarely lived to be able to reach five hundred years.

But in this Shenzhou world, thanks to the special cultivation system, as long as one enters the realm of a grandmaster, the lifespan will be around two hundred years.

After entering the intermediate-level Grandmaster realm, the lifespan is about two hundred and fifty years. When reaching the high-level Grandmaster realm, the lifespan has reached about three hundred years.

Once one reaches the level of Grand Master, which is the top level of Grand Master, the lifespan will reach about 500 years.

After the breakthrough in Qi Refining, the difficulty of breaking through the subsequent Body Refining and Spirit Refining was much lower. After adapting to Qi Refining, Lu Changjing began to break through the bottleneck of Body Refining.

With the boost from his Qi Refining cultivation, the difficulty of breaking through the bottleneck in physical training was reduced a lot, and there was no need to worry about damage caused by strong impacts, so he quickly broke through the shackles.

His body refining skills have also reached the ninth-level master level!
Some people may say that since you are not afraid of getting injured, why bother with so many things? Anyway, all injuries will recover as your physical fitness improves.

Although this is true, if your physical fitness is not up to par when you make the impact and you use too much force, it can easily cause your body to explode. Don't die before you succeed in making the breakthrough and your physical fitness has not improved.

Therefore, Lu Changjing did not dare to go too far. He had to be extremely careful every time he passed the level, for fear of killing himself.

Even if you don't die, failing to pass the level will waste a lot of time and energy, so it's better to prepare more.

After a few days, when his body training had adapted, Lu Changjing began to challenge the bottleneck of spirit training.
