250: Chapter 111: A Lofty Perspective 250: Chapter 111: A Lofty Perspective “Young Hero Jing Xuan, you really are…”
As the great bell rang, resonating in all directions, An Jing and Zheng Mo were walking out from the Earth Pulse Hub.
Zheng Mo truly admired An Jing wholeheartedly.
No matter what the reason was, or how profound the accumulated essence of the Kanming Bell originally was, the fact that An Jing could resonate with the Divine Weapon and enable it to advance was an achievent that was truly comndable, no matter how you looked at it!
Even if it were purely by luck, having such fortune in a world dominated by fate patterns and destiny like Embracing the Void was a top-notch talent!
“Hmm, it’s nothing, I just did what I should have done.”
As for Zheng Mo’s various exaggerated flatteries—such as unbelievable martial arts foundation and being a true genius—these did not affect An Jing much.
Because he indeed was!
ntioning facts naturally wouldn’t excite him much; An Jing was rely contemplating the plans ahead, carefully choosing his words, ready to say, “Magistrate Zheng, considering I have gained so insights, I might need to stay in Kanming City a bit longer…
During this period, my family’s business might conduct so trade in Kanming City, and this tax and toll fee…”
Before An Jing could finish, Zheng Mo imdiately agreed without hesitation, “Hey, I couldn’t ask for more, Young Hero Jing!
You can stay in Kanming City as long as you like!”
“As for your family’s trade?
Besides the basic toll fee, I have the authority to waive all other market taxes!”
“Oh…
Thank you so much…” Originally, An Jing only intended to secure so benefits and lay the groundwork for future bi-regional trade, but now he felt a bit puzzled: Was it really that exaggerated?
In fact, it was.
As nurturing Divine Weapons through the Earth Vein was a core policy of the Da Chen Dynasty, it was always a major benchmark in evaluations.
In fact, if a city’s Guardian Grandmaster wasn’t skilled in comrce or public welfare, or even if he was diocre in military aspects, it didn’t matter as long as he could ensure the Earth Vein thrived and the Divine Weapon smoothly advanced.
Then, he could look forward to a glowing performance review followed by promotions and wealth.
Zheng Mo, as a forr official of Da Chen, was undoubtedly unqualified.
He had never really managed anything significant in the past, and the maintenance of the Kanming Bell was just a routine annual affair, all of which was handled by Shu Zheng’s side.
If it weren’t for Shu Zheng’s sudden death, he would most likely have continued this way, either retiring or dying an ‘accidental’ death, to be replaced by another official from the Demon Sect.
But this ti, not to ntion his decent performance in the turmoil of the True Demon Sect, just the advancent of the Kanming Bell alone was enough for Zheng Mo to receive comndations from the Prefecture Governnt of Wild State!
Even…
not just that.
Ding—
“Eh?
The Kanming Bell advanced?”
At the Provincial Governnt Office of Wild State, Inspector Cao and the Governor, while having tea, both paused and showed signs of surprise, “At this ti?”
“Indeed, it’s quite impressive, the Kanming Bell has advanced!”
Both being officials from Divine Repository of Da Chen, the two were extrely sensitive to fluctuations in the Earth Vein.
The Governor of Chenzhou, with his abundant beard, laughed heartily, “That boy Shu Zheng did quite well back then.
I had anticipated that the Kanming Bell would advance under his care.”
“Unexpected incidents occurred frequently, with both the Heavenly Demon and the Frost Calamity, leading to his untily death.
I thought the advancent would be delayed by more than a decade.”
“It turns out, there was still so destiny left in that place!”
“It’s all your rit, Brother Chen,” Inspector Cao complinted.
Although he was a central inspector, he could act haughty in front of minor officials but had no mystique before a Provincial Governor like this, a real power broker of the region.
Everyone belongs to the Divine Repository; all are colleagues who report their work together at etings in Shenjing, rely having different responsibilities.
Why put on airs with one another?
Naturally, it’s all about giving face and lifting each other up.
This was also a peculiarity of Da Chen’s officialdom: although their responsibilities might differ in weight and their positions might be more critical, the power bestowed by the Talisman Granting of Heaven and Earth was the sa.
Among officials of the sa talisman, even if their ranks differed by two or three grades, they were essentially equal, making their interactions very ‘friendly and equal’.
“Inspector Cao, this is also your achievent.
If it weren’t for you taking action to protect Kanming City, how could we have this result today?
We are not going ho sober tonight!”
Having a Divine Weapon advance in one’s jurisdiction was sothing Governor of Chenzhou was very excited about; it was worthy of a separate entry in his record of achievents, and by the practice of all involved sharing the spoils, Inspector Cao could also partake in so of the benefits.
“Thank you very much, Chen.” Inspector Cao smiled as he sipped his tea, and he couldn’t help but think of the ‘Jing Xuan’ he had recomnded that morning.
“Could it be,” he wondered, “that the advancent of the Divine Weapons is related to that young man?”
However, imdiately afterwards, Inspector Cao shook his head ntally: “Forget it, it doesn’t matter anymore, I’m not going to go looking for the Commandery Princess.
Let soone else do it.”
Just now, he had reported the failure of his mission to the headquarters of the Mystery Armor Guard.
As Inspector Cao had thought, the higher-ups didn’t bla him too harshly, only criticizing him as a matter of routine.
After all, it wasn’t easy for Da Chen to train a Divine Repository official, and they couldn’t really be too harsh.
Not to ntion that Inspector Cao, though without rit, still had his hardships, so it wasn’t appropriate to punish him.
Starting from Zheng Mo, information about the advancent of the Divine Weapons was reported level by level, and Jing Xuan’s na was also occasionally ntioned.
Although apart from the initial docunt from Zheng Mo, no one thought that Jing Xuan was the hero who facilitated the advancent of the Kanming Bell—even An Jing knew that it was largely due to the accumulation of the bell itself, and all he had done was give a little stimulus—the most important thing was this ‘familiarity’.
Throughout the Wild State, everyone now knew that there was a Dust Li young man, extrely lucky, who just happened to witness the Divine Weapon’s advancent.
And if one were to investigate further, one would learn that this young man nad Jing Xuan, whose master was a Divine Repository True Person of the Five Mountains of Dust Li, had also taken action during the chaos in Kanming City and made no small contribution.
Further investigation… was unnecessary.
Click.
As Inspector Cao finished his report about his inspection trip to the northwest and submitted it, this identity of “Dust Li Jing Xuan” was also categorized into the “Friendly” section under the folder of “Visible Empty Mountain—True Master Mysterious Mirror.”
“Interesting, Zheng Mo…
I rember, this guy was a complete waste under Shu’s command.
It seems like a crisis can indeed train people; those who pass the imperial examinations aren’t truly useless.”
When Inspector Cao left the Wild State and returned to Shenjing to report his work, the Governor of Chenzhou resud his seat of power.
“This bunch of bastards from the True Demon Sect, they almost caused a big trouble without paying attention.”
The solemn-faced and burly Provincial Governor pondered for a mont, then picked up a talisman: “Hello?
Patrol Envoy Lin, the Kanming Bell has advanced, our deal is off.”
“This isn’t good, Lord Chen,”
From the other end of the talisman, a sowhat surprised female voice ca through: “We’re the ones who maintain the bell on a regular basis, and it was us who nurtured it to almost the point of advancent…”
“Although Shu died, according to the agreent, we should send another Grandmaster to take over this rit, right?”
“Plans cannot keep up with changes, Shu died, and I’m also very upset, I really had high hopes for him.”
The Governor of Chenzhou laughed, reminiscent of an old lion, more ferocious and fierce than pleased: “You, Heaven’s Will, plan everything so perfectly, always winning, winning, winning, now you have to lose with for a while.”
“Of course, we’ve cooperated for many years, I won’t really let you suffer a loss… Patrol Envoy Lin, lately, the True Demon Sect’s erosion in the Bai Bu area of Dust Li is a bit severe, and this isn’t good for us either.”
“I know, your influence is mostly on the side of the Northern Barbarians…
so I wonder if you’re interested, in helping to rebuild the trade routes in the northwest frontier region?”
“Oh?
That’s quite generous,” the voice behind the talisman sounded surprised, she pondered: “Could it be…
congratulations, my lord?”
‘Haha, not yet, not yet.’ To this, the Governor of Chenzhou shook his head and laughed: “The situation in Hanhai is not going well, old Gu can’t support it alone, and this old soldier of the Northern Border…
will soon have to go and lend a hand.”
‘That ti, it’ll be a matter of convenience.’
‘Lord has always been trustworthy,’ hearing this, the female voice also laughed: ‘We will naturally reciprocate.’
“Now that you shift from civil to military and end the inspection, let congratulate you first on your prosperous martial destiny, may you be honored in Shenjing!”
These lofty perspectives, for the ti being, shifted away from Kanming City.
In Kanming City, An Jing and his companions were also greeted by a relatively peaceful ti.
