I Have A Qi Fortune Altar-Chapter 135 - 128 Heavenly Patrol Envoy Chen Yuan Online!

Chapter 135: Chapter 128 Heavenly Patrol Envoy Chen Yuan Online!

“You’ve broken through to the Gang Condensation Realm?”

Zhang Xuan looked at Chen Yuan with a somewhat astonished expression, his eyes filled with shock.

Chen Yuan nodded and smiled, saying,

“I was lucky enough to make the breakthrough last night…”

Upon hearing Chen Yuan’s definite answer, Zhang Xuan didn’t quite know what to say.

He remembered that Chen Yuan seemed to be only a little over twenty this year and didn’t have much of a background. Yet, he had managed to break through to the Gang Condensation Realm in such a short time, truly a person of genius caliber.

It probably wouldn’t be long before he could make it onto the Hidden Dragon List and become renowned throughout Qingzhou.

“I was originally thinking that with your merit this time, exchanging for a high-quality Qi Absorption Technique wouldn’t be a problem, but I didn’t expect you’ve already made a breakthrough, not bad!”

“Your praise is too kind, sir.”

Chen Yuan gave a bow with his hands clasped.

“Since you’ve already broken through to the Gang Condensation Realm, there’s no need for such formalities anymore. Please, sit.”

Zhang Xuan said, gesturing toward a seat nearby.

Chen Yuan didn’t stand on ceremony; he sat down directly.

“You’ve done very well this time, not only capturing the evidence of Yang Wanlou’s crimes but also successfully finding that batch of corrupt silver. The envoy has already reported to the Green Envoy on your behalf and credited you with a merit,” Zhang Xuan said softly.

“It’s all thanks to your lordship’s strategic planning that I was able to find an excuse to act against the Yang Family. The credit should go to you, sir.”

“I indeed have my own merit, but your effort won’t be glossed over. Now that you’ve broken through the Gang Condensation Realm and with this merit as a foundation, as well as the envoy’s assistance, the position of a Heavenly Patrol Guard is almost assured!”

“But… As for this seized silver, I’m afraid it can no longer be given to you…”

Chen Yuan’s experience was, after all, still quite lacking, and since he had just joined the Heavenly Patrol Bureau, one normally needed to complete several tasks before being officially appointed as a Heavenly Patrol Envoy.

After all, an official post isn’t granted simply because one’s strength and realm has reached a certain level.

One must have merit.

Otherwise, who would bother to seriously complete tasks, when cultivating slowly and honestly is so much better?

“Sir… I…”

Chen Yuan was at a loss for words for a moment.

He had actually been prepared to complete more tasks before promotion, but Zhang Xuan usurped the responsibility, saying it was almost certain…

It was a little too good to be true for him.

To offer him weapons, housing, merit, and a position of power.

This…

Could it be that Zhang Xuan was his long-lost half-brother from a different father?

Otherwise, it wouldn’t be like this.

Keep in mind that Zhang Xuan himself was only a Heavenly Patrol Envoy as well.

To elevate a newly joined subordinate to the same level as himself, and seem quite willing to do so, was an unheard-of boss in Chen Yuan’s experience.

Seeing the surprise and suspicion on Chen Yuan’s face, Zhang Xuan smiled and said,

“Don’t worry, the envoy has no ulterior motives. Besides truly admiring you, there is another reason for doing this…”

“What reason?”

Chen Yuan immediately asked.

Zhang Xuan replied, “To arrange a dependable superior for the likes of Yue Shan.”

Chen Yuan was briefly stunned, then suddenly remembered what Lu Yang had mentioned before. With Zhang Xuan close to a breakthrough, likely to be reassigned, could it be…

As expected, in the next moment, Zhang Xuan directly said,

“I am now at the peak of the Gang Condensation Realm and need to prepare for an upcoming breakthrough, as well as to stabilize my realm. I will be leaving Nanling Prefecture for a while, and during this period, I leave the care of Yue Shan and the others to you.”

He didn’t mention where he was going to cultivate in seclusion, but Chen Yuan guessed it probably had something to do with his background.

Indeed, having a good father is truly different.

“So, sir, after your breakthrough, will you come back?”

Chen Yuan did not wish for Zhang Xuan to leave. With him around, Chen Yuan felt as though he had a tremendous support.

“It will depend on the arrangements from above.”

“This subordinate understands,” Chen Yuan said, nodding solemnly.

“Let’s go. Come with the envoy to meet the Green Envoy and arrange for your identity as a Heavenly Patrol Guard. As long as the Green Envoy agrees to report it, nothing unexpected will arise.”

Zhang Xuan stood up, and Chen Yuan also rose and followed behind him.

Heading towards the center of the Heavenly Patrol Bureau.

On the way, Zhang Xuan informed Chen Yuan that Yang Wanlou and his son had already been taken away by the Government officials. As long as their crimes were confirmed, the outcome was bound to be execution after autumn.

At this moment, no one dared speak for them.

Many officials were still shocked that Yang Wanlou, a man with a reputation for integrity, would dare commit such a major crime. The Magistrate was furious,

It was said that he was so angry he smashed a very precious porcelain piece.

The Government side still wanted to reclaim the seized silver, but Zhang Xuan scolded and turned them away, stating that before the case was closed, the silver had to remain within the Heavenly Patrol Bureau.

As for when the case would be closed, that was up to interpretation.

After the case was closed, the silver would be allocated elsewhere and would never actually be returned to the Government.

They wanted the money? Bullshit!

On the way, Chen Yuan also consulted Zhang Xuan on many questions about cultivation. Compared to Zhao Nanshan, Zhang Xuan was of a higher realm and had more experience.

He revealed to Chen Yuan many secrets regarding the Qi Absorption level, which proved to be immensely beneficial for him.

This included guidance on how to conceal the fluctuations of primordial energy around one’s body.

Chen Yuan followed Zhang Xuan’s instructions, and within just a few breaths, he had stabilized his condition. If you didn’t observe carefully, it would be hard to tell at a glance that he had already broken through to the Gang Condensation Realm.

The Green Envoy of Nanling Prefecture was named Tao Qingyuan, a powerful figure in the True Essence Profound Realm. His strength was extremely terrifying, able to fly in the air for short periods. It was said that he was also a standout in his early years.

With one hand, his Sky Splitting Palm had once killed an adversary of the same realm.

After he was transferred to Nanling Prefecture, at first, he worked diligently to clean up the malpractices of the Jianghu forces, but after all, there were too many constraints, and he couldn’t give it his all.

Later, due to injuries from a fight that damaged his foundation, his strength greatly diminished, and the matter was left at that.

In recent years, except for a very few occasions, he seldom took action.

He also rarely appeared in front of people.

But according to Zhang Xuan, Tao Qingyuan was nonetheless a good boss who protected his subordinates and showed particular care for him.

This left Chen Yuan somewhat speechless. Given your background, would Tao Qingyuan, the Green Envoy, dare not to take care of you?

But from the implications in Zhang Xuan’s words, it seemed that he had not made much of his background, and perhaps he himself did not wish others to fear his connections.

But there are no walls in the world that do not leak air.

Tao Qingyuan’s care for Zhang Xuan was clearly above that of other Heavenly Patrol Envoys, and it naturally led people to recognize him as having a background and support. Even Yue Shan could see this,

let alone others.

As the chief officer of the Heavenly Patrol Bureau in Nanling Prefecture, the government office under Tao Qingyuan’s jurisdiction was not something Zhang Xuan and others could compare to, almost equivalent to a temple.

Several Heavenly Patrol Guards patrolled in front of the door, more stringent than at the main gate of the Heavenly Patrol Bureau.

Without going through any notification, Zhang Xuan led Chen Yuan straight inside.

This was the status and treatment of Zhang Xuan. Apart from him, none of the other Heavenly Patrol Envoys in Nanling Prefecture had such privileges.

The guarding Heavenly Patrol Guards did not dare to stop them.

Straight ahead and in a brief moment, Zhang Xuan and Chen Yuan met Tao Qingyuan.

Dressed in a majestic black robe, which was significantly different from that of a Heavenly Patrol Envoy, one could tell at a glance he was no ordinary person.

Tao Qingyuan had a well-proportioned face, with heavy eyebrows that were thicker than those of others, thick lips, and although not tall, he appeared very steady. He had a high nose bridge and a pair of sharp eyes.

His appearance was above average.

However, the only thing somewhat out of harmony was the graying at his temples, making the entire person look many years older.

When Chen Yuan and Zhang Xuan entered, Tao Qingyuan had just put down his teal-colored teacup, a smile appearing at the corner of his mouth:

“How did you end up here, kid? Even if you have merits, you needn’t come up here to claim them yourself.”

Zhang Xuan smiled and said with a cupped fist:

“The magistrate is jesting, how could Zhang be that kind of person?”

“This humble one, Chen Yuan, has seen the Green Envoy!”

Compared to Zhang Xuan, who was jovial and smiling, Chen Yuan appeared much more upright and respectful.

Zhang Xuan, with his outstanding father, could afford the Green Envoy to give him face.

Chen Yuan, on the other hand, could not.

It would be inappropriate to act carelessly in front of Tao Qingyuan.

“Hmm… Chen Yuan…” Tao Qingyuan’s gaze shifted from Zhang Xuan to Chen Yuan, surveying him with a more serious expression, obviously having heard Chen Yuan’s name before.

“Are you the Chen Yuan who cracked the case of the dirty silver?”

Chen Yuan nodded, his gaze fixed on the ground:

“It is indeed me.”

“Good, well done. Just arrived at the Heavenly Patrol Bureau and you’ve achieved a great feat. Zhang Xuan’s high regard for you isn’t unreasonable…” Tao Qingyuan showed a smile.

He was similarly pleased with capable subordinates.

“It’s all thanks to the magistrate’s efforts, I just followed orders.”

“Your judgment isn’t bad, this Chen Yuan is indeed a promising talent,” Tao Qingyuan said with a smile to Zhang Xuan.

“The magistrate thinks so too?”

“Of course.”

“Then there shouldn’t be any problem with Chen Yuan becoming a Heavenly Patrol Envoy?” Zhang Xuan suddenly said with a smile.

Tao Qingyuan’s expression slightly startled, then he abruptly turned to Chen Yuan, asking:

“You’ve broken through to the Gang Condensation Realm?”

“Last night, I had the good fortune to make a breakthrough.”

As he spoke, Chen Yuan channeled the Supreme Mysterious Scripture, and a faint ripple of Heaven and Earth Primordial Energy appeared around him.

Tao Qingyuan squinted his eyes. He hadn’t paid much attention to Chen Yuan earlier and indeed hadn’t noticed the subtle Primordial Energy ripples around him.

After all, he had subconsciously thought that Chen Yuan had just become a Heavenly Patrol Guard, and his cultivation was still far from Gang Condensation.

And Chen Yuan, following Zhang Xuan’s earlier guidance, used the Supreme Mysterious Scripture to suppress the fluctuations around him to be very weak. Without particular attention, it was indeed hard to detect.

“What does the magistrate think?”

Zhang Xuan smiled.

Tao Qingyuan’s smiling face grew serious as he said:

“Chen Yuan’s cultivation has reached the Gang Condensation Realm, indeed meeting the qualifications of a Heavenly Patrol Envoy. However, since he has just joined the Heavenly Patrol Bureau, it would seem difficult to convince the public if he were promoted directly.”

Zhang Xuan shook his head, “Although Chen Yuan has just joined the Heavenly Patrol Bureau, he has already established his merits. The No-Life Sect branch in Cien Temple of Ping’an County was discovered by Chen Yuan, and he has now successfully recovered the batch of dirty silver.

By rewarding according to merits, promoting him to Heavenly Patrol Envoy is not unjustified.”

“Even if he recovered the dirty silver, most of the credit still belongs to you. How about this, let Chen Yuan complete a few more tasks, and then promoting him later would be a natural progression.”

“This is the rule of the Heavenly Patrol Bureau, and even I cannot violate it.”

Tao Qingyuan looked at Chen Yuan, indicating he wasn’t suppressing him but needed to follow the procedure.

Zhang Xuan laughed, “The magistrate’s words do make sense, but if that’s the case, then I can only figure out a way to transfer Chen Yuan away from Nanling Prefecture to serve as a Heavenly Patrol Envoy elsewhere.”
