"Good apprentice, when you return, thank my Lord on my behalf."
As he watched Qin Qingyun leave, Yi Chen gazed at the Qilin Holy Boots on the table and couldn't help but wear a faint, inexplicable smile on his face.
If Yi Chen thought King Jing sending the "Heaven and Earth Divine Gate Energy" a few days early was a coincidence the first time, now he could almost be certain that King Jing was playing a game of high expectations with him.
However, Yi Chen wasn't averse to these little actions and thoughts of King Jing, because the latter had given him too much.
There is no love without reason in the world, nor hate without cause. In response to King Jing's treatment of him, Yi Chen had discerned a taste of the underlying truth based on what he had observed these days.
With his past life's intuition, if he wasn't guessing wrong, he was being treated as a prime material for an investment that was expected to pay off handsomely.
The Millennium Emperor had not had the best relationship with the sects during the early years of his reign, often more at odds than in cooperation. But now, the situation had changed; an alliance with the sects was mutually beneficial for Great Qin, whereas division would be mutually detrimental.
Hence, it was a pivot in Great Qin's national policy for King Jing, with his status, to send friendly signals to the sects and to attract outstanding figures from both the sects and loose cultivators to join Great Qin.
But for a person like the Millennium Emperor, this was not something he could lower himself to do. It was no burden for his favored eldest son to perform such tasks. If Yi Chen's speculation was correct, King Jing wouldn't remain Crown Prince for long, as he was about to become the new Emperor of Great Qin, and the retired Millennium Emperor could easily manipulate politics from behind the scenes, or make other moves, with much convenience.
As for why he was chosen, it was likely because he was at the right place at the right time, strong, and, within the Dao Sect, a neutral power much like his Qianyuan Sword Sect, unlike the strict barriers of the Three Great Origins of Demon, Buddha, and Dao.
"See the leopard through a tube; this Millennium Emperor of Great Qin indeed plays sophisticated games. But that's none of my concern, I, Yi Chengzi, am not at a loss." Yi Chen grinned, then kicked his feet into the Qilin Holy Boots.
With a glint of radiance, the Holy Boots disassembled into three major parts, floating in the air, before wrapping around his feet and combining again with the pleasant sound of mechanical springs, turning into a pair of cyan-green boots that shimmered with a metallic luster on Yi Chen's feet.
In a flash, Yi Chen felt as though he had traded straw sandals and bird guns for swift boots like a LoL champion.
"Hiss! Qilin Holy Boots, not bad at all. I wonder how King Jing managed to get his hands on them."
With his eyes closed and spirit concentrated for five seconds, and sensing the Small Circulation within him growing stronger, Yi Chen's anticipation for the complete form of the Qilin Holy Armor intensified.
He had a premonition that once he assembled the final piece, the Qilin Holy Helmet, creating the perfect Great Circulation, the entire set of Qilin Holy Armor would truly reveal its full might.
After putting together the five parts of the Qilin Holy Armor, Yi Chen was even more capable of grasping the essence of this armor set.

If the armor was compared to a human body, and the body armor was the spinal cord, then the Qilin Holy Helmet would be the brain.
Just having the body armor was like having a vegetative body with only instinctual amplification responses; after adding the Holy Helmet, the vegetative body would have a soul and could gather the strength of the entire body.
The Qilin Holy Armor was known for enhancing strength, and with the two combined, Yi Chen didn't know how much his strength would inflate to.
"It seems that next time I meet King Jing, I'll have to ask him to keep an eye out for news about the last piece, the Qilin Holy Helmet. Hmm, I also need to arrange things with Zìzàitiān."
"Finally, I'm going to strike a big one at Yin Manor!"
With a myriad of thoughts flashing through his mind, Yi Chen couldn't help but show a pleased smile. As long as he could enhance his strength fast enough, Yin Manor wouldn't be able to keep up with his pace. In the end, they would be severely reaped by him and turned into nourishment.
"First, let's set a small goal: to reach the pinnacle of the Dao Sect!"
Once he set his mind to it, Yi Chen immediately decided to go into seclusion to deduce the path of the Ninth Halberd Move. As for the one who had been skulking around a few days ago, obstructing his path, he had already cast them out of his mind. As long as he was strong enough, no matter what conspiracies lay behind that person, it would just be a matter of confronting soldiers with generals and using earth to hold back water.
Time is like an eternal river that rushes forward relentlessly. Two days had passed in a blink of an eye.
As for the path of the Ninth Halberd Move, Yi Chen still only had a bunch of vague clues, but he no longer had the time to continue his contemplation.
Today was a great day, as King Jing became the Crown Prince. Obliged by the favors received, he must show his support; otherwise, Yi Chen would have gone back to the Hidden Dragon Alliance to check how many Deep Red Points his "wings" had collected for him.
After grooming himself briefly, Yi Chen looked at the handsome Daoist in the mirror and lamented for a few sentences before heading to a golden palace.
With practicality at its core, under the regulation of the Millennium Emperor, the celebration for King Jing becoming the Crown Prince was held here.
This golden palace was the same one where the top figures of various sects had observed the Great Qin Legal Assembly.
"Ancestral Dragon Cave Heaven?"
Yi Chen stopped for a moment to look at the four gilt characters on the grand golden palace, then strode into it.
Upon entering, a master of ceremonies, raising his voice, loudly announced:
"The champion of this Great Qin Legal Assembly, Lord Tan Lang of Zìzàitiān, arrives!"
With this call, the attendants lined up behind the master of ceremonies harmoniously repeated in unison, their voices resounding.
A beautiful woman in court attire caught a glimpse of him, a trace of admiration flickering in her eyes. She swayed her willow-like waist and approached Yi Chen with grace.
Resolved to become the consort of a hero rather than the wife of a mediocre man, she had made up her mind to take a chance.
