To put it bluntly, Yi Tian naturally didn't want to reveal his true relationship with Luo Ziyan. This would definitely cause waves within the Asura Tribe. Therefore, after weighing the pros and cons, he still took out the astrology wheel in his hand and used this as an excuse to screen Tang Xiu.
After Qiao Yongjun saw it, he replied without changing his expression, "Okay, since Brother Yi is willing to treat me so sincerely, then I appreciate this matter. Our cooperation will continue, and I will try my best to cooperate with you in the future. "
"Since the knot in Commander Qiao's heart has been untied, then we can sincerely cooperate from now on. In the future, the meeting place will be at the 'Floating Immortal Inn'. Once your noble status is confirmed, you can go in and out without any scruples," Yi Tian said.
"Okay, I also thank Brother Yi here. I think I will have a chance to go to the ninth floor of the 'Heavenly Path' soon." Qiao Yongjun smiled.
'Ninth floor? Could it be that noble identity is related to the' Heavenly Path '? Yi Tian was suspicious, but he pretended as if nothing had happened. After a while, the two of them discussed and agreed on the time and method of the next meeting. Then, they opened the sealing boundary and came out from the two doors of the warehouse.
After returning to the carriage, Yi Tian couldn't wait to take out the communication jade slip and write down the questions in his heart one by one before activating it and sending it out. Not long after, the carriage returned to Viscount Hongshan's residence, and the communication jade slip had been returned. As expected, Luo Ziyan clearly stated on the communication jade slip that there were harsh conditions to go to the ninth floor of the 'Heavenly Path'.
In addition to cultivating the Asura Tribe's cultivation method, one also needed the noble's seal as a guide. With Qiao Yongjun's identity, he already had enough qualifications. Unfortunately, because he was a civilian cultivator and a member of the Wei Prince's faction, Luo Ziyan was unwilling to give him the noble's seal.
Previously, he saw on the stone tablet outside the 'Heavenly Path' that Qiao Yongjun had passed through twice. He must be very clear in his heart that if he wanted to improve his cultivation, he had to break through to the ninth floor. The others, such as Luo Yao and Shui Cangyue, were hereditary nobles, so they didn't have such restrictions at all.
Looking at the strict hierarchy of the Asura Tribe, Yi Tian felt sad for them from the bottom of his heart. In the Spiritual Realm, they were all occupied by the capable. High-level cultivators would never deliberately set up layers upon layers of barriers to restrict the advancement of low-level cultivators.
From this, it could be seen that under the continuous suppression of the Asura Dynasty's decadent strategy, it was difficult for newcomers to rise to the top. The ones who could stand out were still the nobles. Unfortunately, it was rare for a genius to appear among these people, and even if there was one, they would be absorbed by the imperial family. In the long run, the Asura Dynasty's rule would become more and more stable. However, they would gradually lose their drive to make progress. Soon, they would be surpassed by the other Realms.
After returning to Viscount Hongshan's mansion, Yi Tian once again shut himself in the quiet room. This time, he made a special trip to refine a large number of Intermediate Talismans. In any case, he was just trying to fool the royal guards. After paying a sufficient amount, he hoped that Luo Ziyan would let him off and not come looking for trouble.
Several days later, after Yi Tian finished the work on hand, he put a large number of talismans into his storage pouch. Then, he instructed his butler to help him hand the items over to the royal guards' logistics department. It could be said that he had completed his mission for the past 100 years.
Later on, he received a report from the imperial court. It clearly stated Luo Ziyan's new promotion decree. It clearly stated that there was a new Asura Royal Knight title under the Fifth-Grade Noble title. This was considered an excessive title for commoners and nobles, but there were exceptions. This title would follow the newly promoted noble for life. In the future, even after being promoted to a Baron, this Royal Knight title would still remain after the title.
After reading it, Yi Tian revealed a puzzled expression. Luo Ziyan naturally had her reasons for doing this, but why would she do this? After pondering for a while, he suddenly felt enlightened. It seemed that Luo Ziyan also had capable people around her who could see through his suggestion and perfect it from there.
This batch of newly promoted Royal Knights would definitely become Luo Ziyan's trusted subordinates. Different from those old nobles, these people would faintly form a new force loyal to the empress in the imperial court in the future.
The threshold to enter was for the common people. Even those foreign cultivators could be accepted as long as they could pass the examination and cultivate the Asura Clan's cultivation technique again. From the looks of it, Luo Ziyan had only made such a decision after careful consideration. It was just that he didn't know how the imperial nobles would react.
As he continued reading, Yi Tian's furrowed brows slowly relaxed. The report also pointed out that the children of the imperial nobles who couldn't be hereditary would be isolated to participate in the examination. Using Viscount Hongshan as an example, this way, they could avoid assassinations in the clan for the sake of fighting for the title of nobility.
This time, Viscount Hongshan's backstabbing incident must have caused quite a stir in the Asura Dynasty. In this way, this decree would definitely be supported by most people, and there wouldn't be too much resistance to it being implemented.
Next, the report also mentioned that those cultivators who obtained the title of Asura Royal Knight would be sent to the imperial court to take up important positions. Those who had outstanding results in the examination once every hundred years could be promoted to the title of Baron. This was equivalent to giving these cultivators a future promotion path.
At the end of the report, it also mentioned the enlistment order. In order to ensure the safety of the imperial family members, in addition to the cultivators sent before, a group of elite cultivators from the imperial guards were specially selected as Guardian Knights. These selected people would participate in the coronation ceremony held in the next imperial court. The empress herself would personally host the coronation ceremony and introduce the protected imperial family members one by one.
The rest was the name list of the selected Royal Guardian Knights and the corresponding imperial family members.
This time, in addition to the prince level cultivators in the imperial family, it was mainly aimed at those princesses, princes, and dukes whose cultivation hadn't reached the Spirit Severing stage. Because it was the first time, it didn't involve too many people. But in general, it set a good example for the people below. In the future, the implementation of this system would be relatively smooth.
The first on the list was Princess Fenglin, Luo Qingcheng, and her Guardian Knight wasn't just Qiao Yongjun. There was also a cultivator named Mao Yongliang. There was also a brief introduction behind this person's name. It was said that he was the deputy commander of a large town outside the imperial capital.
After reading it, Yi Tian smiled faintly. It seemed that this list had been carefully considered. If it was so easy to let Prince Wei's people get promoted, it would arouse suspicion. At this time, it was understandable to arrange a competitor, and at the same time, it could dispel other people's doubts.
After putting away the report, Yi Tian calmed down and pondered. Now that the entire Asura court had taken on a new look, it was bound to touch the interests of some people. It was just that he hadn't seen them use their strength yet. In the next period of time, he had to be even more careful to avoid exposing unnecessary flaws.
As he was thinking, he suddenly found a message from the phantom of Guagua in Yuanying's hand. Hao Ren probably couldn't sit still after this matter had spread and wanted to discuss it with him.
