Ding Anzhi returned after Yang Wanli and Feng Xiu finished their discussion.
He noticed that the two looked a little embarrassed, but they quickly returned to normal.
Yang Wanli ignored him, as if the man didn't exist at all.
"Lord Feng, then I will report this matter to the palace."
Feng Xiu nodded slightly.
"Go on, I'm old. This Great Zhou will belong to you young people in the future."
Upon hearing this, Ding Anzhi quickly replied, "Sir, you're joking. You're not old at all; you could easily work for another ten years or so."
Feng Xiu sighed but did not reply.
He was somewhat disappointed in Ding Anzhi, but he also understood that Ding Anzhi's words were truly from the bottom of his heart.
If anyone in the Ministry of Justice doesn't want Feng Xiu to retire, it's definitely Ding Anzhi, because he understands that he certainly can't compete with Yang Wanli.
It's better to maintain the current situation and see what Yang Wanli does to him when he comes to power.
Yang Wanli ignored Ding Anzhi's thoughts and left the Ministry of Justice directly.
A few days later, in the early morning.
Shen Yan sat alone in the courtyard cultivating, buried by the swirling snow, leaving only a white human figure.
The day grew colder and colder, but Shen Yan's heart burned with warmth.
Gradually, the snow on his body began to melt, turning into snow water that flowed down.
My clothes got wet and then dried again, and after a long time the wind and snow finally stopped.
Shen Yan also opened his eyes.
Last night he practiced his skills in the courtyard, and everything was normal until this morning when the power of the Dao Fruit flowed into his entire body.
The Nine Revolutions Golden Body Technique, which was originally at the peak of the lower three grades, suddenly showed signs of change. It turned out that the thing gestating inside the copper-colored little man's body had taken shape.
Shen Yan has actually begun to attempt the fourth stage of the Nine Revolutions Golden Body Technique. Once he takes this step, Shen Yan will become a sixth-rank external martial artist.
Having officially entered the middle third rank, the sudden opportunity caught him somewhat off guard.
He quickly composed himself and began to focus on breaking through.
After an unknown amount of time, he finally refined the energy within his body.
With the Nine Revolutions Golden Body Technique reaching its fourth stage, Shen Yan officially became a mid-level rank master.
Shen Yan's eyes were full of excitement; he hadn't expected to break through to the middle third rank so quickly.
"The auxiliary materials we collected are no longer needed. I was hoping to ask the Duke's Mansion for help in searching for some, but it seems we won't need them."
He never expected that the Dao Fruit would help him break through in this way, and that he could advance without needing a medicinal bath.
Instead, it can simulate the materials needed for a medicinal bath to help him break through his cultivation level.
The cultivation methods I used before were relatively basic, and the process was too short, unlike the complex "Nine Revolutions Golden Body Technique".
The drugs needed for the breakthrough were also commonplace; he broke through directly without feeling any bottleneck.
He cultivates both internal and external skills. His external skills have reached the sixth rank, while his internal skills are even more profound and cannot be measured by conventional standards.
Their strengths were naturally incomparable, and Shen Yan himself was unaware of just how strong he was.
He felt a surge of powerful qi and blood energy emanating from his acupoints, which began to gradually seep into his muscles and bones.
This is a symbol of the middle grade three, where the Qi and blood begin to strengthen the muscles and bones.
The Nine Revolutions Golden Body Technique can activate 108 acupoints in the human body, which is the limit of a superior cultivation method.
It coincides with the number of the Thirty-Six Heavenly Generals and the Seventy-Two Earthly Fiends.
The human body has 365 acupoints, which is the number of stars in the celestial sphere.
Of course, no one has yet activated all the acupoints in the body.
Human strength has its limits, but lifespan is not endless. It is already rare in the world for a person to cultivate a superior external martial arts technique to its ultimate level in their lifetime.
There are almost no people like Shen Yan who cultivate several martial arts at the same time.
Even if someone tries this, they fail on the way to advancement.
Unfortunately, he still hadn't mastered Iron Shirt. He estimated that once he mastered it, he would be able to activate a dozen more acupoints.
As external training methods, there are some overlaps in the practice. Although they do not conflict like internal training methods, they are still imperfect.
Having successfully broken through, Shen Yan felt refreshed and stepped out of his house.
Seeing that the opposite side was welcoming new tenants, Shen Yan hadn't been to this house for a long time, and she didn't expect that it had changed tenants again.
The tenant this time looked refined and scholarly.
His demeanor was quite arrogant, but upon seeing Shen Yan in official robes, he immediately forced a smile.
"Good morning, sir. May I ask which government office you serve in? My name is Zheng Xiao, and I am a cousin of the Duke."
Since everyone else greeted him with smiles, Shen Yan couldn't be cold to them. Upon hearing that they were relatives of the Duke's family, he looked somewhat shocked.
"To think you're such a distinguished guest from the Duke's mansion! My name is Shen Yan, and I'm no match for you. I'm just the deputy warden of the Imperial Prison."
Zheng Xiao looked puzzled; he knew there were prison guards in the imperial prison.
He had never heard of the position of Deputy Prison Warden.
"This guy is shameless. Could he be a jailer who made up a position out of thin air to embellish his image?"
Zheng Xiao's expression suddenly turned cold.
"So it was Shen Yan."
After saying that, he ignored Shen Yan and went into the mansion.
Shen Yan felt confused, but he didn't say much, since he still felt a sense of kinship with the Shen family.
He thought to himself, "Song Mingli stayed here last time too, so Zheng Xiao's identity is probably not ordinary either."
Seeing Zheng Xiao's behavior, Widow Wang couldn't help but smooth things over, saying, "Shen Yan has been promoted!"
"We're all just serving in the prison, there's no question of promotion. Let's go!"
Shen Yan didn't ask about Zheng Xiao's identity in detail, and didn't care about such things. He just thought that an unfriendly neighbor had come to visit.
Arrived at the Heavenly Prison.
Shen Yan saw Qi Xuan having tea with Ye Zhou in the prison cell. Ye Zhou was happy to see Shen Yan arrive.
He immediately got up and went to greet them.
"Shen Yan, you've finally arrived."
"What business does Lord Ye have with me?"
Ye Zhou said mysteriously, "It's not me looking for you, it's Lord Yang."
As she spoke, she pulled Shen Yan towards the outside of the prison.
Qi Xuan had already hinted at it, and it was indeed a good thing.
"Lord Shen, you are truly remarkable. You do not compete or fight for anything, yet you manage to pocket all the benefits."
He envied Shen Yan somewhat, but he understood that Shen Yan relied on his own abilities. Although he was lazy, he was very capable.
Qi Xuan sighed, "I was just looking for a job to make a living, but I never expected to find a golden rooster."
They arrived at the Ministry of Justice.
Shen Yan was taken to Yang Wanli's cell.
When Yang Wanli saw Shen Yan arrive, he smiled and said, "Shen Yan, we owe you a lot this time."
The more he looked at Shen Yan, the more he felt that it was a waste of his talents to keep him in the prison, and he wanted to help him get out of the prison.
"Shen Yan has the strength, the insight, and the ability, but unfortunately he's a bit lazy."
Shen Yan didn't know what Yang Wanli was up to, but he seemed to be in a good mood, judging from his rosy complexion.
"It was nothing, Lord Yang, there's no need to be so polite. Besides, I've already accepted your gift of thanks."
Yang Wanli sighed and said, "How about I recommend you for a position as a clerk in the Ministry of Justice?"
"In charge?"
"What?! Do you think your official rank is too low? You're only a ninth-rank official now. If you're promoted too high, it'll easily attract criticism."
Yang Wanli also felt that it was too low a position, and that Shen Yan deserved a higher official rank given his talent.
However, his starting point was simply too low.
