After the incident where Qin Yuesheng caused a commotion in the Yangzhou Prefecture, all of the Inner Strength experts sent by the Yellow Turban Immortal Sect to assist Liu Xian were killed. This also affected Liu Xian’s mindset regarding dominating Jiangnan, significantly slowing down his external expansion.

It can be said that Qin Yuesheng has already become a shadow in his heart.

If you don’t make progress, someone else will. In Jiangnan, Cao Mengda and Wu Bao swiftly deployed troops like a storm, rapidly seizing the western and southern parts of Jiangnan, with a looming intention to invade the east.

Apart from Jiangnan, in other regions across the world, the remaining rebels were also fervently engaged in their own feats of ambition.

With the flames of war igniting everywhere, causing a terrible toll on lives, and with rebels recruiting soldiers and seizing grain everywhere, the thought of a peaceful and prosperous age is truly wistful. However, due to the inaction of the court, chaos has indeed descended.

Even if the Great Tang can quell the chaos in the world, what it ultimately gains will only be a world riddled with scars.

A month after the event of the thirty-six rebels, there was suddenly a commotion from Chang’an.

The old emperor passed away, and under the joint witness of the Ten Attendants, the imperial edict left by the former emperor declared the Third Prince as the new emperor, named Shuntian.

This event naturally shocked the entire court.

When the former emperor was still alive, the Crown Prince was the embodiment of both literary and martial prowess, a model among men, admired and respected by all. It can be said that no combination of all the princes could match the recognition the Crown Prince held among the ministers.

The former emperor completely cultivated the Crown Prince as the next heir to the throne, so how could the succession change directly in the imperial edict, allowing the Third Prince, who had always been ordinary, to ascend the throne?

There is no need to overthink, as this must be the Ten Attendants doing tricks behind the scenes. Ministers learned through some palace rumors that soon after the former emperor’s death, the Crown Prince quietly disappeared from the palace, and palace maids and guards had not seen him for a long time.

Upon ascending to the throne, Emperor Shuntian immediately dispatched eighty Grand Generals with a swift and decisive pace, mobilizing the 1.12 million troops still firmly controlled by the Great Tang, to launch the horn of the rebellion against the thirty-six rebels.

This indicates that the Great Tang is fully unleashing its power, no longer pretending ignorance, and is determined to fight to the death with the thirty-six rebels to stabilize the nine states of the world.

...

Ever since the ’startled bird’ incident, Cyan Yang City has been very peaceful.

Having learned a lesson the first time, Liu Xian only deployed troops to the west, rarely to the south, fearing another encounter with Qin Yuesheng.

Taking advantage of these leisurely days, Qin Yuesheng went deep into Meteor Mountain, beginning to digest the medicinal materials he had collected from the Golden Dragon Silver Phoenix Tower.

Even as just a branch in Yangzhou Prefecture, the Gold and Silver Pavilion’s stock was impressively abundant, causing Qin Yuesheng’s All-Purpose Essence to increase rapidly, skyrocketing like a rocket.

Sitting atop a mountain of gold and silver yuanbao, Qin Yuesheng looked at the All-Purpose Essence balance displayed by the super accessory and couldn’t help but nod in satisfaction.

All-Purpose Essence: 100200

After acquiring the abundant elixirs left by the Bai Yue Sword Saint in the Sword Tomb’s hidden treasure, Qin Yuesheng once again stored his All-Purpose Essence above the 100,000 mark.

During these days, he practiced the forging treasure records and Soul-Hunting Blood Claw he retrieved from Jiang Taicang. The former can forge Divine Weapons, and the latter can capture the souls of others from their bodies, being an evil magic.

As for the Five Ghost Spirit Body Skill, Qin Yuesheng did not learn it. Firstly, its requirements are too harsh, requiring one person each possessing an Earth Spirit Root to reach mastery; secondly, it goes against heaven’s will and reason.

Qin Yuesheng, even without resorting to such unorthodox methods, could quickly improve his strength, so there was no need to walk Jiang Taicang’s old path.

"With so much All-Purpose Essence, in a few days I can finally roll out the last orange talent."

Looking at his purple talent [Person from Dreams of Old], Qin Yuesheng felt an inexplicable reluctance.

This talent has accompanied him for quite a long time. Although he has not yet relied on it to play any significant role, Qin Yuesheng can distinctly feel that ever since he acquired this talent, every woman who speaks to him inexplicably shows a hint of shyness.

This made Qin Yuesheng feel an unspeakable delight, and luckily he wasn’t a playboy. Had Qin Yuesheng been slightly more amorous, the girls he had flirted with could line up from the south of Cyan Yang City all the way to the north.

"After so many days together, it is finally time to part ways. Take care," Qin Yuesheng said, then chose to refresh his talent.

Swipe...

Swipe...

Swipe......

After spending ten thousand All-Purpose Essence, a streak of orange light suddenly flashed into his eyes.

Qin Yuesheng hurriedly looked.

(Orange) Heavenly Being’s Aura (Your appearance and temperament are unparalleled, such an extraordinary man is unworthy of being in the mortal world. If one could catch a glimpse, it would be a blessing cultivated over three lifetimes. From then on, mortal women who see you would be preoccupied with thoughts of you, losing appetite, with their eyes and hearts full of you,

should they be unable to form a bond with you in this life, they’d rather never marry, shaving their heads to become nuns, often accompanying the ancient Buddha, just hoping you’d remember them, even if just a name.)

Qin Yuesheng’s eyes widened, incapable of uttering a single word.

Could this charm talent be too powerful?
