But now it's different. The Divine Mystery Dynasty already possesses an Ancient God-level alchemist. Even if all the alchemic power of the Heavenly Void Realm were gathered, it couldn't contend with this.
“Minister of Revenue, Minister of Personnel, Minister of War, listen to the decree!” Xuan Ming slowly said.
“Your humble servants receive the decree!”
The three ministers' hearts tightened, and they quickly bowed in obeisance!
The Emperor suddenly placed such importance.
There was definitely something important to announce.
Most likely, it was related to the decision just made.
The three ministers vaguely guessed in their hearts.
“I have decided today that, in addition to the three ministries of the imperial court, a Divine Pill Hall will be established to oversee all the dynasty's alchemists, reporting directly to me.”
“The Hall Master of the Divine Pill Hall will be Master Lingmu, who stands beside you.”
“The three of you must cooperate with him and not make any mistakes!”
Xuan Ming announced the decree.
“Yes, your humble servants receive the decree!” The three ministers respectfully accepted the decree.
Their minds were shaken, even though they had somewhat guessed.
But they hadn't expected that the imperial edict issued by His Majesty would be related to this old man, whom they believed to be a member of a mysterious organization controlled by His Majesty.
“Hall Master of the Divine Pill Hall, overseeing all the dynasty's alchemists, reporting directly to His Majesty...” The three ministers gasped.
Such an honor was not common.
But what they were more concerned about was.
Did the Emperor's placement of this person in the imperial court mean that the mysterious organization controlled by the Emperor would be inserted into the imperial court?
If that were the case, with the power of those people...
The three ministers felt a strange pressure.
Regarding stabilizing the dynasty's situation after the spiritual energy's revival, they had considered several methods on the way here and were preparing to report them to the Emperor.
However, the Emperor's decree dispelled their thoughts.
The Emperor did not jest!
Clearly, the Emperor was very confident in this.
Compared to the Emperor's command, the methods they had considered seemed inadequate and far less efficient than what the Emperor had said.
“As the three ministers of the imperial court, holding the rank of Three Dukes, you have toiled for the Divine Mystery Dynasty for many years. The matter of raising the cultivation levels of the dynasty's officials will begin with you. This is a Saintly Intent Pill of superior quality, with powerful medicinal effects. After consuming it with your cultivation levels, you will surely make a breakthrough.” Xuan Ming took out three jade bottles.
Each contained a Saintly Intent Pill.
The three ministers had accumulated cultivation for a long time. With the powerful medicinal effects of the superior Saintly Intent Pill, the three of them would surely be able to break through to the Saint Realm after consuming it.
Before the three ministers could be surprised.
Xuan Ming looked at the three of them again and said, “After you break through to the Saint Realm, I will entrust you with a task!”
“Whether you can complete it depends on your individual abilities.”
In the future, the Divine Mystery Dynasty would gradually improve.
The three ministers had been able to lead the imperial court for many years, their abilities were evident.
For now, Xuan Ming had no other capable civil officials under his command, so he naturally planned to reuse the three of them.
However, the dynasty's development would no longer be limited to the Southern Continent.
Whether the three of them could gain his subsequent reuse would naturally depend on passing an assessment!
Hearing this, the three ministers' hearts immediately tightened!

Chapter 121: Check-in: Three Thousand Human Race Perfected Saint Realm Warriors

Outside the imperial palace.
After the three ministers walked out of the Xuanhuang Hall.
Although they held such a treasure as the superior Saintly Intent Pill, which could elevate a veteran Half-Saint to the Saint Realm.
Their hearts.
Were currently disturbed by another matter.
“Assessment?”
“Assessment!”
“First, that Master Lingmu was placed in the imperial court, establishing the Divine Pill Hall outside of the three ministries!”
“Then, the Saintly Intent Pill was taken out, ordering us to undergo an assessment after breaking through to the Saint Realm!”
“His Majesty's meaning is already very clear!”
Minister of Personnel Li Yuanfang murmured in a low voice, his expression filled with a trace of worry.
Serving a ruler is like serving a tiger!
As the Lord of the Southern Continent, the lives of billions of people were at his whim.
As subjects, they were also within his control.
Throughout history, countless subjects had misunderstood the Emperor's meaning, leading to setbacks in their careers or even demotion.
They had been officials for so many years.
The reason they were able to ascend to the position of Three Dukes of the imperial court.
Was not only due to their own abilities.
But more so because they could fathom the Emperor's intentions!
They understood the meaning in the Emperor's edicts.
To deduce what kind of results the Emperor needed, what kind of process he wanted to see, and even to guess the Emperor's next deployment.
In short, for officials.
When completing the Emperor's orders.
They not only had to do it well, but also had to do it in a way that satisfied the Emperor.
Otherwise, even a slight mistake could affect their careers, which would be a minor matter...
This time, His Majesty bestowed a treasure. If it were ordinary times, they would naturally be extremely excited and even exhilarated.
Because His Majesty was willing to let them break through to the Saint Realm, he would surely reuse them.
But this time, His Majesty's words carried the word 'assessment', which was intriguing!
Without a doubt, His Majesty was indeed preparing to reuse them.
But the premise of this reuse was that they had to pass the assessment!
But what kind of assessment required them to break through to the Saint Realm to participate?
It should be known that even now that the spiritual energy in the Southern Continent had revived.
Half-Saints were still experts, and there was no problem in protecting themselves.
Especially those veteran Half-Saints like them. Even if they hadn't reached the Perfected Half-Saint, they were almost there.
If it was an assessment in the Southern Continent, they felt that they could completely do it with their abilities.
But the Saintly Intent Pill in their hands told them that it was clearly not.
Coupled with the mysterious force in His Majesty's hands that was different from the imperial court.
They instantly realized.
That the so-called assessment was probably related to this mysterious force.
The location of the assessment might also not be in the Southern Continent!
But in the area that this mysterious force had already extended or attacked, such as the civilized land outside the four thousand-mile official road of Kaiyang County!
Only an assessment of this level required them to reach the Saint Realm to proceed.
Otherwise, their Half-Saint cultivation would not only damage the dynasty's prestige, but there might also be some changes, and they might not even be able to protect themselves.
“You two, this is a great opportunity for us!” Realizing this, Li Yuanfang said slowly in a low voice.
Lin Fangyuan and Li Batian took a deep breath and nodded heavily.
The mysterious force controlled by His Majesty.
From beginning to end, from the perspective of the imperial court and even the sentient beings of the Southern Continent, it was extremely mysterious.
And it made everyone feel inexplicably terrified.
After all, the deeds they had revealed all showed the terrifying nature of this organization.
But now, His Majesty's assessment was clearly related to this force.
If they could withstand the assessment, not to mention whether they could integrate into it.
But at least they would have entered the core circle under the current Emperor's command.
No longer would they only be able to watch as they had in the past.
This would be infinitely beneficial to them!
