"The result was that the centipede spirit transformed into a dragon, and the Great Ming Dynasty was destroyed." Lin Qing explained the cause and effect clearly.
"Thanks to both of you, I hope you can help me. I don't want to die so soon." Zhu Zhanji said with a fawning expression.
"Let me help you dispel the demonic energy!"
After Lin Qing finished speaking, he released a stream of spiritual energy into Zhu Zhanji's body, slowly calming his body.
Gradually, demonic energy began to emerge from Zhu Zhanji's body under the pressure of Lin Qing's spiritual power.
"Ah, that feels so good." Zhu Zhanji's expression of enjoyment was truly irritating.
Seeing the demonic energy emanating from the mouth, Lin Qing immediately opened his mouth and inhaled, drawing the continuously emerging demonic energy into his mouth.
"Ding! You have gained 1000 evolution points and 1000 luck points by consuming the demonic power containing the nation's destiny."
"Ding! You have gained 1000 evolution points and 1000 luck points by consuming the demonic power containing the nation's destiny."
A few minutes later, the demonic energy in Zhu Zhanji's body was completely expelled, and Lin Qing even used her spiritual power to cleanse the emperor's body.
While I wouldn't say they'll live to be a hundred, they should at least live for another ten or so years.
However, Lin Qing did not expect that this demonic energy could also yield evolution points and luck points, and he obtained a total of 100,000 evolution points and luck points.
No wonder it can help people cross over to the Pure Land and transform into dragons; it can bring so many benefits.
"Thank you so much, Dragon King! I feel wonderful now."
Zhu Zhanji felt that he could fight the Empress for three hundred rounds without any problem, considering that he had been a "ten-second man" for the past few years.
"Alright, then I'll go draft the decree. You two will wait a moment."
Zhu Zhanji hurriedly ran to the desk on the steps and began to grind ink himself.
Before long, an imperial edict was drafted, and the imperial seal on the desk was stamped on it.
"Someone, someone, announce the imperial edict." Zhu Zhanji handed the imperial edict to the little eunuch who ran in.
Then, the young eunuch cleared his throat and read the imperial edict aloud:
"By the grace of Heaven, the Emperor decrees: Former Protector of the Nation, Abbot Pudu Cihang, was plotted against me by a centipede demon. Fortunately, Yan Chixia and a divine beast assisted in slaying the demon. Therefore, Yan Chixia is hereby appointed as the National Protector Preceptor, and the Dragon King is hereby appointed as the National Protector Divine Beast. This is the imperial decree."
The instant the eunuch finished reading, Lin Qing saw Yan Chixia's body tremble, and a large amount of spiritual power emanated from his body, clearly indicating that he had broken through.
At the same time, Lin Qing also heard the system notification:
"Ding! The host has been appointed as the guardian beast of the nation by the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, enjoying the blessing of the Ming Dynasty's national fortune. He can gain 100 luck points per day and his combat power will increase by 20% within the Ming Empire."
"Ding! The cultivation progress of the Divine Dragon Technique has increased by 10%."
"Wow, is it that strong? No wonder Yan Chixia's power increased so much." Lin Qing hurriedly opened the attribute panel to take a look.

Wow, my brother! Lin Qing actually discovered that one can cultivate automatically in the world of spiritual energy.
After the imperial edict was read, Zhu Zhanji hurriedly pulled a young eunuch aside, whispered something in his ear, and then went to Yan Chixia and Lin Qing's side.
"Master Yan, Dragon King, I have already given the order that an imperial edict will be posted tomorrow, and then it will be posted all over the country."
"However, it would be best if the two of you drafted the content of the imperial edict," Zhu Zhanji said.
"Very well, I will now convey the contents of the imperial edict to His Majesty."
the next day,
"Steamed buns! Steamed buns for sale! Hot steamed buns!"
"Baked flatbread, selling baked flatbread, Wu Dalang's secret recipe baked flatbread."
The bustling city was filled with the sounds of vendors hawking their wares, but this morning the vendors' business was a bit worse than usual.
Everyone rushed to the bulletin board to look at the imperial edict; the bulletin board was packed with people.
"Hey, have you heard? The Dharma Master of Protecting the Nation and Saving the Compassionate One is actually a centipede demon."
"Yes, it was written on the imperial edict. Fortunately, it was destroyed by the new national advisor Yan Chixia and a guardian beast, the Dragon King."
“I know Yan Chixia. He used to be a ruthless judge who was famous throughout the twenty-six provinces of Guandong and Guangxi. I never thought he would become the national advisor now.”
"Wow! There's even a guardian beast of the nation! Heaven truly blesses our Great Ming Dynasty."
"The Great Ming Imperial Preceptor Yan Chixia, the guardian beast Dragon King, has vanquished the Tree Demon Granny, the Black Mountain Demon, and the Thousand-Year Centipede Demon. Demons and monsters roam the world, causing widespread suffering. To eradicate all evil spirits and monsters, we now seek capable individuals from across the land to slay demons and monsters. Generous rewards await. For details, please inquire at the Demon Extermination Bureau within the Six Doors in the capital."
"Interesting, very interesting. I didn't expect that these powerful demons would be dealt with by two unknown figures. I might as well go and take a look." An old man leaned on his cane and muttered to himself.
"My God, the Yan State Preceptor is truly amazing, and that Dragon King, they actually managed to destroy such a powerful demon."
"I didn't believe it when I heard that Yan Chixia had eliminated the Black Mountain Demon and the Tree Demon Granny, but I didn't expect it to be true."
"Let's go to this Demon Extermination Bureau and ask around. They say there's a treasure there. Let's see what it is."
“Let’s go together. Finally, a representative figure has emerged in the world.”
The news gradually spread throughout the city, as it is known that many highly skilled individuals were hidden in the capital.
Chapter 105 Destroying the Demon Palace (Please subscribe, second update)
Lin Qing and Yan Chixia are currently in the Demon Extermination Palace, waiting for experts to arrive. The Demon Extermination Palace is only located in the capital city.
It will take a long time to establish Demon Extermination Palaces across the country, since they currently only have Lin Qingyan, Chixia, and Xiahou Wu, and they are short-handed!
Over the next few days, imperial edicts will be posted all over the country, and Lin Qing will not accept just anyone into the Demon Extermination Palace.
After passing their assessment, Lin Qing plans to issue tasks in the form of task templates, and then let cultivators and exorcists complete them. Of course, he will not refuse if monsters come.
The demons under heaven cannot be completely eradicated; they can only be deterred and the most ferocious ones killed. The rest can only obediently devour the essence of heaven and earth.
However, the implementation of this method still lacks one crucial issue.
That's information. Without information, you won't even know which monsters are around, so what's the point of issuing a mission?
Lin Qing originally wanted the Demon Extermination Palace to issue a mission where he could receive a reward simply by bringing back the corpses of monsters.
However, Lin Qing eventually eliminated it, as he didn't want innocent monsters to suffer such nightmares.
This also prevents evil people from indiscriminately killing innocent people, demons, and cultivators, and allowing exorcists to claim rewards.
How do I resolve this issue? Just contact the system. So Lin Qing asked the system.
"System, do you have any way to solve this problem?"
"have."
"What method?"
"Spend 100,000 Evolution Points and 100,000 Luck Points to unlock the World Shop."
"..."
"Why didn't you let me open the World Shop sooner?" Lin Qing was excited as soon as he heard the name.
The World Shop, you know, is definitely one of those shops in novels that sells everything, like invincible martial arts techniques, unparalleled physiques, and elixirs that can instantly make you an immortal. It's invincible, okay?
"The World Shop will only open in the fifth world, and you didn't even ask, host!"
"..." Lin Qing thought for a moment and realized that it seemed to be the fifth world now, and he really hadn't asked.
"Turn it on, turn it on." Without saying another word, we turned it on first.
"Are you sure you want to spend 100,000 Evolution Points and 100,000 Luck Points to open the World Shop?"
"Okay, stop dawdling and get it done already~_~!"
"Activation complete. Please check it yourself."
Upon hearing the notification sound, Lin Qing immediately opened the World Shop.
World Store:
The Book of the World: Can be exchanged for 200,000 Evolution Points + 500,000 Luck Points.
The Book of the World can be bound to a person by a drop of blood, and by consuming luck points, one can learn about anything in the entire world.
And that's it...
Lin Qing saw that the Book of This World was indeed what he needed, but what about the countless rare and precious herbs, elixirs, and peerless physiques in the shop?
"System, why is there only one Book of the World in the shop?"
"The World Shop will only sell one item per world. Please purchase at your discretion."
"I believed your nonsense and even bought it as I saw fit. Now I have no choice but to buy it."
Finally, Lin Qing spent 200,000 evolution points and 500,000 luck points to purchase the Book of the World.
The Book of the World appeared before Lin Qing's eyes. It was completely black, without any other color, with only four large white characters: "The Book of the World." It looked exactly like an ordinary book.
Lin Qing's evolution points are all gone, but he still has some luck points left.
Fortunately, Lin Qing didn't convert his luck points into progress in the Divine Dragon Technique, otherwise he would be helpless now.
Lin Qing immediately began to circle around, then used its sharp teeth to bite through its own scales, squeezing out a drop of blood that fell into the Book of Worlds.
When Lin Qing's blood entered the Book of the World, the book emitted a tremendous light that illuminated the entire room.
Fortunately, the light was only for a moment and then disappeared. Many guards looked towards Lin Qing's room.
However, no one dared to come and check it out. That was a guardian beast bestowed by the emperor, and they didn't have the guts.
