The war between the Heaven and Earth Divine Dynasty and the God Ruins Imperial Dynasty has entered a fierce stage. Zhao Jingchuan originally thought that he could easily take down the God Ruins Imperial Dynasty, but he underestimated the God Ruins Imperial Dynasty's strength.
Faced with the fierce attacks of the Heaven and Earth Divine Dynasty, the God Ruins Imperial Dynasty held out for five years. The Heaven and Earth Divine Dynasty was unable to defeat the God Ruins Imperial Dynasty, which gave Zhao Jingchuan a great headache.
The Qiankun Heaven and Earth Divine Dynasty Heaven and Earth Divine Dynasty currently faces two problems. First, due to years of continuous warfare, its national treasury is severely depleted, making it unable to provide sufficient supplies to the front lines.
Secondly, the military strength is insufficient. When Zhao Jingchuan helped the God Ruins Imperial Dynasty fight in the past, he lost many elite soldiers. Now, after fighting with the God Ruins Imperial Dynasty for five years, countless soldiers have been killed or wounded.
Of course, the God Ruins Imperial Dynasty is also facing these two problems. Now the two great dynasties are fighting to see who can't hold out any longer. Once one side can't hold out any longer, then the war can be declared over.
On this day, a familiar face arrived at the Clear Heart Hall. She was a woman wearing soft armor, and this woman was none other than Zhao Yuening.
Over the years, she had been fighting the enemy on the front lines, and compared to before, she had become even more murderous, her beautiful eyes had turned colder, and she was terrifying.
Her exquisite face showed signs of fatigue and weariness, and a shocking knife wound remained on her left cheek, still bleeding, indicating that she had been injured recently.
Zhao Yuening stood outside the Clear Heart Hall for a long time, wanting to go in but hesitating. Finally, as if she had thought of something, she took a deep breath and walked into the Clear Heart Hall.
Jianxin looked up and was taken aback when he saw Zhao Yuening. "Miss Zhao, what brings you here?"
Zhao Yuening smiled. "What? Aren't you happy to see me?"
"Welcome!" Jianxin smiled, quickly found a chair for Zhao Yuening to sit down and rest, and then poured her a cup of tea.
"You've changed quite a bit over the years, Miss Zhao." Jianxin poured tea while observing Zhao Yuening, pausing for a few seconds, especially noticing the wounds on her face.
"On the way here, I encountered people from the God Ruins Imperial Dynasty and dealt with them, but I was injured in the process and haven't had time to treat them yet," Zhao Yuening explained.
"Wait a moment." Jianxin nodded, then walked to the medicine cabinet, picked up a medicine bottle, poured out a pill, and handed it to Zhao Yuening. "This pill can heal your injuries."
Zhao Yuening looked at the pill in Jianxin's hand, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "How many divine crystals?"
"Miss Zhao, you're being a bit too formal. You've worked at our Clear Heart Hall for a while now, so we're practically acquaintances. You're injured, and I'm healing you. Do you expect me to charge you divine crystals? Brother Chen and I aren't that heartless," Jianxin said.
Hearing this, Zhao Yuening felt a warm feeling well up inside her and smiled, "That's true, but I can't let you do a losing business, can I?"
At this point, she changed the subject, "However, since you've put it that way, I'll shamelessly accept it."
Zhao Yuening picked up the pill, put it in her mouth, and soon the effects of the pill became apparent. Her originally disordered breathing gradually calmed down, and the scar on her left cheek gradually disappeared.
"This pill is incredibly potent." Zhao Yuening exclaimed in shock, then looked at Jianxin, "You made it?"
"I wish I had that ability," Jianxin said with a wry smile. "It was Brother Chen who refined it."
"No wonder, perhaps only he could refine such powerful pills." Zhao Yuening nodded, then asked in confusion, "Where is Senior Chen? Why isn't he in the shop?"
" Brother Chen has gone out for a stroll," Jianxin said.
"Then... when will you be back?" Zhao Yuening asked.
"He's been out for a while, he should be back soon. What's wrong? Did you come here to see Brother Chen?" Jianxin asked.
"Hmm." Zhao Yuening nodded, her hands unconsciously clenching into fists. "I just don't know if Senior Chen would be willing to help with this."
As soon as she finished speaking, Su Chen suddenly walked into the shop. Zhao Yuening nervously stood up and instinctively bowed, " Senior Chen."
Su Chen glanced at Zhao Yuening, nodded to her, then picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip, and said, "I heard your conversation just now. So, what is it? If it's about me helping you fight, then don't say anything."
"No." Zhao Yuening quickly shook her head upon hearing this. "I didn't come here to ask you to fight."
"What's the matter?" Su Chen found a seat and sat down, looking at Zhao Yuening.
Zhao Yuening hesitated for a moment, but eventually she briefly explained to Su Chen the two problems that the Heaven and Earth Divine Dynasty was currently facing.
After listening, Su Chen pondered for a moment, then said, "These two problems are quite easy to solve."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Yuening was overjoyed. "Please, Senior Chen, tell me how to solve these two problems. If it is helpful, my father and I will personally bring generous gifts to express our gratitude after the war ends!"
"No need for that. I just hope the war ends soon, otherwise my shop will go bankrupt." Su Chen shook his head, then asked, "Did you kill any of the officials of the Heaven-Burning Divine Dynasty, or the people from the Aristocratic Clan?"
Zhao Yuening was taken aback, her expression showing confusion. She was clearly puzzled as to why Su Chen would ask such a question, but she didn't inquire about the reason. She honestly replied, "I didn't kill them. They are now serving the Heaven and Earth Divine Dynasty. Of course, there are some stubborn people who are unwilling to submit, so my father exterminated their entire families."
Upon hearing this, Su Chen nodded and said, "Then the problem of insufficient divine crystals in the national treasury will be easily solved."
Zhao Yuening was completely puzzled, not understanding what Su Chen meant. Did he mean that those officials and Aristocratic Clan could solve the current problem of insufficient funds in the Heaven and Earth Divine Dynasty's treasury? Impossible, right? Did they have that ability?
Zhao Yuening couldn't figure it out no matter how hard she tried, and even Jianxin, who was standing next to her, was lost in thought.
"Every dynasty has countless corrupt officials. These officials have close ties with the Aristocratic Clan, and together they amass wealth to the point that it can enrich a region, or even rival a nation. If you could extract some money from these officials and Aristocratic Clan, you could surely alleviate the empty treasury and relieve the dynasty's urgent crisis."
Upon hearing this, Jianxin thought for a moment, then his face showed utter shock. "It can be like that?!"
Zhao Yuening slapped her forehead, her voice excited, "How could my father and I not have thought of such a simple method? Those officials and Aristocratic Clan must be rolling in money. When we get back, I'll have my father confiscate their property!"
The officials and Aristocratic Clan: "..."
