Peerless Taoist

A bolt of lightning appeared in the sky above Xianyang.    

After that, it started to rain. Lightning flashed and thunder roared. It was a rainy night.    

Very few people noticed that Lu Yu was hiding in the dark sky. His figure was dark and inconspicuous, but he emitted an immortal aura.    

The growth of his soul only took an instant to complete the transformation.    

The second bone that Lu Yu had refined was one of the twenty-three skulls.    

His physical strength had increased by the strength of fifty True Dragons. Although it wasn't much, the benefits were greater than the soul.    

The skull had increased the strength of the soul.    

Those ancient martial arts experts who cultivated the physical body were not boors. They could also strengthen their souls and minds by cultivating the physical body.    

The Martial Emperor's soul in ancient times was like the sun in the sky. With just a loud shout, it could turn countless demons and monsters into ashes.    

Now, the strength of Lu Yu's soul had also increased.    

What followed was an increase in his cultivation efficiency.    

Lu Yu's current cultivation efficiency was almost 180 times that of an ordinary Daolord.    

As he breathed, the Spiritual Qi flowed into his body like a rolling dragon, allowing him to cultivate with half the effort.    

"If I can devour that Golden Immortal from Penglai with the Tai Chi Qi, I wonder how strong my soul will become..."    

Lu Yu suddenly thought of this.    

"I hope that you, Penglai, will behave yourself and not provoke me. Otherwise, I don't mind destroying you."    

...    

The sixth year of Spring and Autumn, the fourth day of the eighth month.    

After the thunderstorm, there was a cold wind in the air, and the autumn in Xianyang City was strong.    

At this moment, in the palace of Xianyang City, Lu Yu was sitting on the dragon throne, listening to the official's report.    

This was the morning court session of the Great Qin Empire. It was usually held by the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet, so Lu Yu did not come often.    

On both sides of the palace, there were already over a hundred ministers standing there. Each one of them was powerful, and they were existences that could shake the heavens and earth with a stomp of their feet outside. There was even no lack of Daolord experts among them.    

Since the establishment of the Great Qin Dynasty, there had already been several Daolords in the imperial court. This was a grand occasion that had never happened even in the last years of Great Yu.    

"Your Majesty, in this selection of officials, there are a total of 890,000 officials from the lower rank of the ninth rank and above, and around 3.4 million officials. This is an unprecedented grand occasion. Ever since the Central Ancient Wen Emperor Yang Jian started the Imperial Examinations and the Emperor started the selection, there has never been such a scene. All the talented people in the world have entered the palace. This official congratulates the Emperor."    

Minister of Rites Zhang Xuance reported.    

"Thank you for your help. If you didn't work together, I am afraid we wouldn't be able to do this."    

Lu Yu waved his hand: "Reward Zhang Qing Long Dan with ten pills, Golden Qilin Robe, and jade belt."    

The surrounding ministers all revealed envious expressions.    

The Dragon Cores in the palace were all full and full of spiritual qi. The treasures formed by experts above the Dragon Emperor level were extremely precious. After refining them, not only could they extend one's life, they could also strengthen one's bones and improve one's talent.    

The Qilin Robe and the jade belt were symbols of power and status.    

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Zhang Xuance was neither servile nor overbearing as he respectfully bowed.    

In fact, logically speaking, Zhang Xuance could be considered Lu Yu's master. During the Imperial Examinations at the end of Great Yu, Zhang Xuance was Lu Yu's examiner.    

However, he had always been obedient and did not treat himself as the emperor's teacher.    

Lu Yu's master was the Grand Elder Yi Han. How could Zhang Xuance dare to be on equal footing with Yi Sheng?
