The Only Male Emperor in a Female-dominated World

Chapter 269 Borrowing Some Spiritual Stones

"Wow, I really want to go to the Moon Palace sometime to see what the Star Lord looks like."

A middle-aged peasant woman said with hope on her face.

"Tsk, you still want to meet the Star Lord, maybe in the next life."

"I heard that our star master is as beautiful as a fairy, and he can seduce a woman with just one look."

"Is this true? It's so exaggerated."

.........

Just as everyone was talking and laughing, the peasant woman at the back suddenly stopped and stood still.

"Sister Shan, why did you stop?"

The companion was puzzled and went up to pat his shoulder, but was horrified to find a white skeleton arm sticking out from his heart.

The heart was still beating in the skeleton's palm, making a "thump thump" sound.

"Ah...uh..."

She let out a scream of terror, and the next second her larynx was crushed.

The others turned around and saw such a bloody scene. They were so frightened that their faces turned pale and they fled in all directions.

clack clack...

The teeth-trembling sound of bones rubbing against each other continued to be heard, and densely packed skeletons emerged from the grass.

All the living people were quickly slaughtered, leaving no one alive.

After a moment, the killed villagers stood up in a strange posture, and followed the group of skeletons tremblingly, moving forward.

.........

In the evening, in the Yangxin Palace, Chen Lingjun sat cross-legged and practiced, refining the Yuan Yin in his Dantian.

Yuan Yin is different from the power of faith. It does not need to be integrated into the embryonic form of Nascent Soul. It can be directly absorbed with a thought, which is of great benefit to cultivation.

No wonder the Hehuan Sect was able to rank among the top sects. It seems that it really has something.

Unfortunately, the process of obtaining Yin Yuan is too difficult. Only the quality of Yin Yuan from virgin women is the best, and the effect will be greatly reduced afterwards.

The higher the woman's cultivation level and the older she is, the greater the amount of Yin Yuan she has.

It really proved the fake captain's words that women are like fine wine, the older they get, the mellower they become.

"With the power of faith and Yin Yuan, I estimate that I will be able to break through again within five months."

At the same time, Chen Lingjun was also a little worried about whether there would be any sequelae if his realm was improved too quickly.

It took others thousands or even tens of thousands of years to practice, but he only took less than two years.

"System, tell me about it."

"Ding! Host, don't worry. Yang Yuan, the power of faith, and Yin Yuan are the purest energies in the world. They are 100% compatible with cultivators and can be absorbed without worry."

After listening to the system's explanation, his doubts were dispelled.

I haven't visited Hu Ling for more than ten days. I'll go see her tonight and take out a mid-grade spirit stone and place it on the ground.

Yin and Yang Alternation Technique—Start!

A light gate appeared, and I came to the master bedroom of Jifeng Transport Hall, where a scent of flowers suddenly wafted over.

As an old couple, Chen Lingjun certainly knew what the other was doing and tiptoed to the bathroom.

Behind the screen, a graceful figure was lying in the bathtub, wiping her body slowly and leisurely.

She glanced behind the screen with her beautiful eyes, a smile appeared on her lips, and she pretended to be unaware.

Chen Lingjun saw the right time, covered Hu Ling's red lips from behind, lowered his voice, and said viciously:

"Stop shouting and hand over all the spirit stones."

“Mmmmm… slurp…”

Hu Ling's face was "full of panic", but she then reacted, recognized the person, and licked him with her tongue.

Chen Lingjun felt a wet and itchy feeling on his palms, and he knew he was exposed. "How did you find me?"

Hu Ling licked her red lips with great satisfaction and said lovingly, "Silly boy, the fragrance on your body cannot be concealed."

"fragrance?"

Chen Lingjun sniffed his body, "Is there anything? Why can't I smell it?"

Pfft!

Water splashed everywhere as Hu Ling dragged the beauty into the bathtub. She must have been feeling suffocated after not seeing her for more than ten days.

"Wait, my clothes..."

.........

Seven days later, Chen Lingjun, lying on the thunder, recounted what had happened in the Moon God Palace a few days ago.

Of course, the matter about Wu Weiyue was not discussed in detail and was just mentioned briefly.

Hu Ling listened quietly, with a doting smile on her face all the time. When talking about the thrilling parts, she even showed a lingering fear.

"So, we can't go to the Central Region if the evil tribes from outside the region invade in the future."

Chen Lingjun patted his chest and said, "If you don't want to go, then don't go. I have already made arrangements. We will go to the Northern Territory for vacation then."

"Northern Territory."

Hu Ling narrowed her beautiful eyes and smiled, "I heard from the cultivators riding spirit beasts that the Northern Territory is not peaceful at all. The Divine Spirit Tribe and the Ice Beast Tribe have been fighting for several epochs and there is still no clear winner."

Chen Lingjun was full of confusion, "God-level tribe? Ice beast tribe?"

Why have I never heard Wu Yuanmeng mention it? I have to investigate it when I get back.

By the way, were the spies sent out raised eating poop? Even Hu Ling knew everything, but they didn't.

The two of them continued to be together for a while before leaving and returning to the Yangxin Palace.

Hu Ling put on a layer of gauze and came to the ashes in the corner of the room. She picked up the ashes with her jade fingers and put them to her nose and sniffed.

He smiled and said, "Interesting, it seems to be a Taoist space teleportation formation. It seems that Jun'er has some secrets that I don't know."

.........

In the Yangxin Palace, Yang Yuan's clone stood up and said, "My original self, you are back. Something big has happened and needs to be dealt with as soon as possible."

Chen Lingjun nodded and took the clone back into his body. The memories of the past seven days flooded into his mind.

It turned out that Wu Yuanmeng had hurriedly found him the day before yesterday and told him that there were dying creatures causing chaos on the border and harming the people.

So far, two hundred thousand people have been affected, and the number is still increasing.

She has already sent priests with troops to suppress the rebellion and came here to seek Chen Lingjun's opinion.

"I didn't expect that a dying creature would come here. It looks like the situation is not optimistic."

Realizing the urgency of the situation, Chen Lingjun sent people overnight to notify all priests to come to the court to discuss matters the next morning.

The next day, he got up early and went to the court.

After the war, the court was completely renovated and became even more magnificent.

There were many unfamiliar faces in the audience, probably the priests who had died in battle and were replaced.

Seeing Chen Lingjun coming, everyone stopped talking, put their right hands on his shoulders and bowed.

"Meet the Star Lord! xN"

Chen Lingjun raised his hand to signal everyone to stand up, and got straight to the point: "I believe everyone knows something about the dying creatures wreaking havoc on the border. If you have any opinions, please share them."

A priest stood up and said, "Master Star Lord, I think we should increase our forces and kill all the dying creatures."

"No, no, there are an endless number of dying creatures. It is impossible to kill them all. In my opinion, the best strategy is to defend the city."

As soon as he finished speaking, another priest jumped out to refute.

"Actually, I think it's better to move to another location."

.........

The priests each held an opinion, and each said that he was right, and there was a lot of noise in the court.

Chen Lingjun suddenly felt a headache and quickly raised his hand to signal for silence.

This is also one of the reasons why he doesn't like to attend court. The Moon Goddess Dynasty is different from other dynasties in that all priests can express their opinions in public.

As a result, the court was often as noisy and bustling as a vegetable market.

If they were not stopped, they would probably quarrel all day and all night.

"High Priest, what do you think?"

Wu Yuanmeng knew that Chen Lingjun had an idea in mind, so he cupped his hands and said, "I am a stupid subordinate and don't have any good ideas. I would like to hear the Star Master's advice."

"Ok."

Chen Lingjun sighed, "Then tell me what I think."

"First of all, we must fight to protect the people from dying creatures, but we must only resist and block them, not fight back."

"Because dying things have the ability to drive dead things, if the battle continues for a long time, we will definitely suffer."

"After you go back, start to plunder the spiritual plants in the territory and tell the people to be ready to evacuate at any time."

Then he turned around and asked, "High Priest, how is the progress of building the flying boat?"

He had a premonition that Buddhism and Taoism could not hold out for much longer and they had to think of a way out as soon as possible.

The fact that a dying creature could reach the border of the Moon Goddess Dynasty indicated that other dynasties were also facing a great crisis.

Maybe some small dynasties were destroyed.

"My Lord, the construction of the flying boat is almost finished, but the national treasury is running out of spiritual stones, and we still need to build two thousand ships."

If built according to ordinary large-scale requirements, a flying boat can carry at most 20,000 people, which means that there are still 40 million people who have no place to go.

Chen Lingjun frowned slightly, "No, they must all be built."

Originally, the priests in the audience wanted to persuade them to give up. At most they could give up these 40 million people, since they were just civilians with no cultivation.

But seeing the determined look on his face, no one dared to bring it up.

Wu Yuanmeng looked embarrassed. The spirit stones needed to build two thousand flying boats were not small, at least hundreds of billions.

Although she has a high level of cultivation, she doesn't have many spirit stones, so she can't just rob them.

"We don't have spiritual stones, but the Divine Qin Dynasty does."

Chen Lingjun smiled and said, "We can ask for a territorial demarcation and borrow spiritual stones from the Divine Qin Dynasty. Anyway, when the evil tribes from outside the domain invade, they will be useless to us."

"Let's take a step back and say that after the crisis is resolved, if we don't acknowledge the demarcation of the land, what can they do?"

Hearing this, the eyes of the priests in the audience lit up. What a good idea!

Wu Yuanmeng's mouth twitched. Isn't this just a shameless act? How shameless.

But it has to be admitted that it is indeed a perfect plan. The Shen Qin Dynasty has coveted the territory of the Yue Shen Dynasty for a long time and will definitely agree to it with pleasure.

After making general suggestions, the rest can be left to the cabinet priests to formulate detailed plans.

After the court was dismissed, Chen Lingjun discussed some specific matters with Wu Yuanmeng in the imperial study, such as borrowing as much as possible, but not too exaggerated to avoid suspicion.

The discussion was finally completed until late afternoon.

Chen Lingjun took off his shoes, stretched out on the chair, and said, "It is not for ordinary people to be an emperor. (Except for the incompetent emperor)"

If he had not had the foresight to propose the cabinet system long ago, he would be very busy now.

I picked up an unknown fruit and took a bite. It tasted sweet and juicy.

“That’s a lot of water.”

At this time, the guard outside the door came to report that Wu Weiyue wanted to see him for something.

"Wu Weiyue? What is she doing here?"

Chen Lingjun was puzzled, but let him in anyway.

As soon as Wu Weiyue entered the room, she was attracted by the snow-white and tender jade feet, and she couldn't help swallowing her saliva.

"What do you find me for?"

Chen Lingjun didn't care at all and continued to lie there leisurely.

Wu Weiyue suppressed her inner throbbing and said seriously, "Master Star Lord, I have thought about the last time you helped me heal my wounds for a long time."
