Chapter 44 The Emperor Sells Official Positions
The physical fitness increased by the Immortal Demonic Body is all-round. Unlike the physical cultivation, some parts cannot be taken into account during the improvement.

For example, in the external training stage, the skin membrane, muscles, and tendons are mainly improved; in the internal training stage, the internal organs, bone marrow, and blood are mainly improved...

However, the characteristics of physical fitness are different. The physical fitness that increases every day includes almost all aspects, including the spiritual sea.

Therefore, at this moment, the toughness of Lu Changjing's spiritual sea is more than a hundred times that of an ordinary person.

However, for a warrior at the same level as Lu Changjing, it would be amazing if the toughness of his spiritual sea could reach dozens of times that of an ordinary person.

In this case, even if he had only practiced the Imperial Dragon Soul Sutra to the sixth level, corresponding to a sixth-rank warrior, he could still bear the medicinal power of the high-level elixir, the Calming Pill.

If this were not the case, Lu Changjing would not have dared to take the tranquilizing pill.

A calming pill fell into his mouth and quickly turned into surging spiritual power, rushing towards the sea of ​​​​spiritual energy.

Lu Changjing immediately started practicing the Imperial Dragon Soul Sutra, quickly absorbing and digesting the surging medicinal power, transforming it into pure Imperial mental power.

"Bang bang bang..."

At the same time, the medicinal power that could not be absorbed immediately was also roaring in his spiritual sea, causing it to shake, but it did not cause any damage.

His current spiritual sea is not even comparable to that of many great masters, so why should he be afraid of the impact of this little bit of medicine?

"call……"

Just like a whale swallowing water, Lu Changjing absorbed as much of the medicinal power of the Tranquilizing Pill as possible, not caring about the problem of his unstable foundation at all.

"boom……"

In just over half an hour, he had already reached perfection in the sixth level, and then he took advantage of the situation to attack the bottleneck and directly broke it.

Seventh floor!
However, the medicinal power of the calming pill was still huge. Lu Changjing continued to absorb the medicinal power and broke through one level after another.

The eighth floor...

The ninth floor...

All the way to the tenth floor!
In just a few hours, the Imperial Dragon Soul Sutra broke through four levels, madly advanced to the tenth level, and was close to perfection.

If he goes further up, as long as he can break through the bottleneck and enter the eleventh level, it means that Lu Changjing's spiritual power has also reached the master level.

At that time, you will be qualified to be called... a master of three subjects, or a master of all subjects!

The practice of spirit, energy and mind is seamless and has the means to deal with any situation. This is a more terrifying existence than demons and monsters.

It is indeed better to be an emperor, with abundant resources and numerous treasures, especially being an emperor who lives off his wife.

He happily used the remaining power of the Calming Pill to consolidate his cultivation. Combined with the improved physical fitness after midnight, he laid a solid spiritual foundation and no longer showed any signs of vanity.

By the time I take the next calming pill, if nothing unexpected happens, there is a great chance that I will be able to break through the shackles and elevate my spiritual cultivation to the Grandmaster level.

However, his spiritual power has increased too much in a short period of time. He will have to adapt to it as he did with his physical and mental cultivation.

Otherwise, he would not be able to control the spiritual power in his body as he pleased, and would not be able to exert even basic power.

After entering the tenth level of the Imperial Dragon Soul Sutra, when it is activated, he can easily detect all movements within ten meters around him. It is as if Lu Changjing has a 360-degree field of vision, and can effectively resist all kinds of sneak attacks and attacks.

Even underground, it can go several meters deep, which can be said to be all-round and without dead angles. If one can break through the spiritual power to the Grandmaster level, relying on the powerful imperial spiritual power, he should be able to surpass Cao Wenzheng's attainments in this area, and then he can find his traces in advance and detect his strength.

With a slight smile, he soaked in the thousand-year-old Jade Spring water to moisturize himself before going to bed to rest.

He got up after an hour and continued practicing, not daring to waste even a moment.

He got up on time at the hour of Mao, and while reading the memorials, he focused most of his energy on the circulation of his true energy and spiritual blood. Oh, and from time to time he also released a fourth imperial calamity to adapt to the surging spiritual power, and practiced this spiritual secret art by the way.

It is busy but fulfilling, especially the feeling of rapid improvement in cultivation and combat power, which is truly intoxicating.

What's more, this is closely related to his life, which makes Lu Changjing more motivated to practice. Even in the thirty days before the college entrance examination in his previous life, he had never worked so hard.

In addition, his love is also involved, which makes people even more excited.

"The Minister of Personnel requests to see Your Majesty!"

Not long after breakfast, I heard singing outside.

Lu Changjing frowned, pondered for a moment, and summoned the Minister of Personnel to come in.

Soon the other party walked in, wearing a sharp-shouldered crown, a long robe with wide sleeves, and a jade belt with a night-shining pearl on it tied around his waist.

"Your humble servant greets His Majesty!"

As soon as he saw Lu Changjing, the Minister of Personnel Zhao Jintian prostrated himself.

Lu Changjing waved his hand and said, "My dear, please stand up. I wonder what you want to talk to me about?"

"This..." Zhao Jintian hesitated for a moment, but still whispered: "Your Majesty, do you still remember the Lingji Pill a few months ago? At that time, you promised me that as long as I could find a bottle of Lingji Pill and make enough contributions, you would let my brother serve as the governor of Yinshan County."

As he spoke, Zhao Jintian presented a bottle of Lingji Dan: "Your Majesty, this is Lingji Dan. I have fulfilled my mission. After negotiating with the demons and monsters in the lower reaches of Huangsha River for several months, I finally bought a bottle of Lingji Dan."

This is selling official positions!

Lu Changjing was shocked. He didn't expect Ning Zhongyu to be so shameless that he even dared to sell an official position that was related to the fate of the country, and he made a deal with the Minister of Personnel.

Judging from Zhao Jintian's skillful appearance, it was obvious that he had done similar things countless times.

However, Lu Changjing didn't know whether the matter of exchanging the Lingji Pill for the governor of Yinshan County was true or not. If it was true, it would be fine. If it was false, once he agreed to it, his identity would most likely be exposed.

So after hesitating for a moment, Lu Changjing asked him to put the Lingji Pill away first, and he would give Zhao Jintian an answer in the next few days.

Seeing that Lu Changjing did not agree directly, Zhao Jintian was slightly stunned, but did not say much. After staying for a while, he took his leave.

If nothing unexpected happens, Zhao Jintian is also one of the people who colluded with Ning Zhongyu and Cao Wenzhen. They secretly colluded with monsters and demons, brutally suppressed the common people, and even sold them to monsters and demons to obtain various resources and treasures.

Just use your toes to figure out that the origin of this bottle of Lingji Dan is not legitimate, and it is very likely obtained with the flesh and blood of ordinary people.

However, with the golden finger on him, Lu Changjing has no use for the Lingji Pill. Even if he could use it, he would not use it to exchange for the position of an official.

As lunch approached, Cao Wenzhen came to the imperial study.
