After the flying boats landed one after another on the deck of Dan Harbor, the cabin door of the main boat opened, and a wide rainbow staircase descended, all the way down to the bottom.
Su Qian was dressed in a neat military uniform, a military cloak, and military boots. She walked down, and behind her were Wen Yi's subordinates and a group of guards in divine robes.
The lieutenant who had been sent to the Dongting Prefecture in advance hurriedly came up and stood at the bottom of the stairs. He saluted her and said solemnly, "Commandant!" The soldiers behind him also saluted in unison.
After Su Qian came down, she also saluted back. She looked at Ruiguang City, which was shrouded in faint light. Eight years ago, when she came here to help, she didn't expect that one day she would be appointed as a commandant here.
This time, Lady Su had contributed greatly to the Protectorate's success in transforming the manor into a continent. Her promotion to the position of Commandant of a continent was her reward.
Of course, she had to have enough merits first, otherwise, she wouldn't be able to get promoted.
Over the years, she had fought in the north and south, and she had made a lot of contributions in the battle against Taibo. Later, she was transferred to the outer regions to fight, and her military achievements were also illustrious.
Although she was lacking in age and experience, her ability was enough. Moreover, the Dongting Protectorate had transformed its territory into a continent. Tianxia and the Dongting Protectorate both needed generals with a fierce will to advance, not people who were lethargic and defensive. In this aspect, she was extremely suitable.
And she also needed this position very much. Just like what Chief Mo of the outer region had said, without the experience of guarding a region, it was impossible for her to get promoted.
She also knew that she had blocked the path of many people this time. These people were now looking at her, waiting for her to make a mistake. If she made a mistake, then they would definitely jump out to accuse her and try to pull her down.
But she wouldn't let these people get what they wanted.
She asked, "Is the Governor of Min Province in the city now?"
The lieutenant said, "Commandant, the Governor of Min Province is in the prefecture. Also, Imperial Censor Qin has also arrived. We only found out later that this person arrived on the same day as the Governor of Min Province."
Su Qian nodded. The Governor of Minzhou used to be an official in Yujing, so she knew him. Although she had never met Supervising Imperial Messenger Qin, she had heard of his name for a long time.
It was said that he was originally a Daoist cultivator, but later on, his Daoist foundation was damaged for some reason. He was open-minded and decided not to cultivate anymore. Instead, he became a mortal. He started out as an ordinary official and reached his current position as the Imperial Censor. Furthermore, he still maintained a good relationship with his fellow disciples. His life could be said to be very exciting.
She said, "I'm going to see the Governor and the Imperial Censor first, and then I'll pay my respects to Xuan Shou."
The captain replied, "Yes, Captain. Everything has been arranged for the journey."
After Su Qian came out of the parking platform, she boarded the carriage that was prepared in advance and headed to the government residence. Along the way, she also learned that Min and Qin had already reorganized the administrative officials in the prefecture in the past half a month. Now, the structure of the Eastern Court Prefecture had already been set up.
She sneered, "It seems that the integration of my army residence needs to be done as soon as possible."
When the carriage arrived at the government residence, she successfully met with Min Gong and Supervising Imperial Messenger Qin. At this point, the three officials with the highest authority in the mortal world of the Eastern Court Prefecture had all arrived.
She chatted with the two for a long time. After a short rest, she went to Xuanfu to pay her respects to Zhang Yu.
Now, among all the officials in the prefecture, the one that had the most contact with Xuanfu was the military residence. When it came to dealing with supernatural forces, any military operation couldn't be done without Xuanfu's help.
When she arrived at Xuanfu, she was invited into the residence by the Xuanfu cultivators who had already received the news. They brought her in the direction of Mount Qi.
Ever since Zhang Yu's incarnation arrived at the top of Mount Yu, he had been sitting in a cave residence opened up at the peak of Mount Yu. Everything was handed over to Xiang Chun to handle.
In reality, Xuanshou only needed to set the general direction and leave the details to his subordinates. Xiang Chun had been in charge of Xuanfu's internal and external affairs for decades. He was very familiar with the Eastern Court. He didn't think that he could do a better job than Xiang Chun.
At this time, a disciple came to report that Su Qian had arrived. He said, "Invite Commandant Su up."
Su Qian had Vice Minister Wen Yi stay outside. She walked up to the peak of the mountain. After passing through a mountain screen, she looked up and saw Zhang Yu standing there. His entire body was shrouded in starlight and jade mist. She went forward and bowed, "Eastern Court Commandant Su Qian greets Xuanshou Zhang."
Zhang Yu nodded in return. He said, "Commandant Su, we haven't seen each other in many years since we parted at Taiyang Academy."
Su Qian also felt a lot of emotions. She looked at the vast land outside and said, "Su Qian also didn't expect to reunite with Xuanshou Zhang here after parting all those years ago." Looking at the scenery in front of her, the scene of her first meeting with Zhang Yu when she led the Guang Ye Battalion to reinforce him was still vivid in her mind.
After pausing for a bit, she produced a document from within her military overcoat, saying, "Head Xuan, this time, Su Qian brought over official letters from Duke Min and Qin Envoys. The two of them both believe that the new continent should be ruled by Mount An."
After the Governor of Min and Imperial Censor Qin discussed, they agreed that the plan on the third scroll was the most suitable place to establish a new province in the Eastern Court. This was because it was the only plan that was suitable for them to show off their skills.
Zhang Yu took the document and saw that it was stamped with the official seal of the Governor and Imperial Censor Qin. Now, as long as he received their approval and reported it to the Yujing, the matter would be considered approved.
Originally, he could make the decision alone. However, building a city wasn't something he could do alone. It required a lot of manpower and resources, as well as coordination from top to bottom. The attitude of the Governor was very important.
He didn't like to use strength to suppress others, so he didn't make a decision immediately. Instead, he inquired about the Governor's opinion. Now that everyone was in agreement, it couldn't be better.
Su Qian then asked, "Does Xuanshou Zhang have any instructions regarding the cooperation between the military and the Xuanfu?"
Zhang Yu thought for a moment before saying, "There are countless EsGods in the depths of the Eastern Court. Normally, such creatures can be dealt with by the military. However, there's one thing I have to remind Captain Su. There are ancient gods in the depths of the Eastern Court, so don't go too deep unless it's necessary."
Su Qian's expression froze. Of course, she knew the power of the ancient gods. This was an enemy on the same level as Xuan Zun. This wasn't an opponent that could be defeated by numbers.
Solemnly, she cupped her fists and said, "Thank you, Xuanshou Zhang, for your reminder."
Zhang Yu said, "Captain Su, that ancient EsGod has always been hostile to the Eastern Court. This EsGod will have to be dealt with eventually, but not now."
He didn't want to provoke that sleeping giant before the continent was officially established. That was because if he fought with it, it was hard to guarantee that the people of the continent and the Eastern Court would not be affected.
Therefore, he had to focus on defending first. When the formations and restrictions in the Eastern Court were set up and all preparations were made, he would consider exterminating it.
Su Qian said seriously, "Su Qian will remember. Oh right, there's also a letter that the head of the Ministry of Heavenly Works asked me to pass to Xuanshou Zhang. "As she spoke, she handed over a document.
Zhang Yu took it and glanced at it. The content was that the Ministry of Heavenly Works hoped to establish a Heavenly Secrets Branch in the Eastern Court and wanted to ask for his opinion.
This letter wasn't in the form of an official document, but it was passed on by Su Qian. He didn't need to think to know that this was definitely because he was afraid that his actions in the Qingyang Upper Continent would be seen as hostile to the Creation Faction, so they wanted to test his attitude.
If the Xuanshou Zhang of a continent was hostile to the Creation Faction, like Guo Zhen, then the Creation Faction would indeed be difficult to implement.
However, he wasn't so narrow-minded.
The Creation Faction was now deeply involved in all aspects of Tianxia. Not only would he not stop it, but he would also support it.
Back then, the promotion of the Xuan Technique had given the billions of people of Tianxia another path to improve their level of life, and the development of the Creation Faction had helped to raise the level of civilization of the entire Tianxia. These two were not contradictory at the moment.
As for what the future would be like, that would have to wait and see.
From his perspective, these were all waves that had sunk and fallen in the long river of history. As the Tianxia Xuanzun who had an endless lifespan, what he should do was to watch all of this from above the river of time, tidy up the fog and obstacles in front of him, and let it flow until it was endless.
And just as his incarnation met with Su Qian, his main body came to visit Daoist Yu Su in the Bright Light Daoist Palace.
When Daoist Yu Su heard that he came to ask about the elixir that could replenish one's vitality, she smiled and said, "If it's just an ordinary elixir that can replenish one's vitality, I naturally have a lot of it here. However, as I expected, the elixir that Fellow Daoist wants should be able to replenish one's vitality in battle. In that case, I can only try to refine it."
He reached out and plucked a tea tree branch. "I'll use the elixir water to refine the elixir. I'll throw my will into the elixir water, stirring up the Heavenly Secrets and Dharma, and let it grow on its own."
As he spoke, he used the tea tree branch to draw a line downwards. In an instant, a clear river flowed under his feet. He shook the branch again, and a few tea flower petals on it turned into white light and fell into the river. They spun a few times on the water surface, and then flowed downstream.
He retracted his hand, picked up the teacup on the table and saluted, saying, "Whether or not the elixir will be formed will depend on fate. Let's drink the tea first."
Zhang Yu also picked up the teacup, raised his sleeve, and saluted.
After a while, he looked over and saw a two-fist-sized green-skinned gourd floating down from upstream. Daoist Yu Su laughed and said, "The elixir is formed."
He used the tea tree branch to whip it, and the green-skinned gourd instantly fell back onto the table. He picked it up and shook it, and the sound of spring water could be heard from inside. He smiled and said, "Seems like Fellow Daoist's luck isn't bad. These elixirs are exactly what Fellow Daoist needs." As he spoke, he waved his sleeve and gave the gourd to Zhang Yu.
Zhang Yu received it and tipped the gourd, pouring out three elixirs that seemed to be condensed from water. They were sparkling and translucent, like ice pearls and jade. After they came out, dense water vapor supported them, and they floated in front of him without falling.
Daoist Yu Su said, "These elixirs are formed by fate. Even if I want to refine an ordinary elixir, it'll be difficult. If Fellow Daoist has any other requests, you'll have to find the Head Enforcer."
Zhang Yu said, "I heard from Fellow Daoist Ming Zhou that Chao Tingzhi is also good at refining elixirs?"
Daoist Yu Su laughed and said, "Chao Tingzhi is indeed good at refining elixirs. However, in the past, if a Fellow Daoist went to ask him for help, he would always list out thousands of items and ask people to explain the items clearly one by one. If a single item couldn't be explained clearly, he wouldn't refine it. As time passed, no one went to ask him for help. If Fellow Daoist really wants to ask him to refine elixirs, then you'll have to be more patient."
