Zhang Chen was quite satisfied with the conditions proposed by Cao Cao. He chatted with Cao Cao for a while, but finally couldn't stand Cao Cao's enthusiasm, so he said goodbye and left.

It was dark when he returned to the courtyard. Zhao Xinghuo had already eaten and was meditating in the open air in the courtyard. If you look closely, you will find that Zhao Xinghuo's body is light red, and wisps of white smoke are coming out of Zhao Xinghuo's head.

This is Zhao Xinghuo's unique way of practicing. Through high-intensity exercise, the body will produce a state that is more friendly to spiritual energy, so that practice will be more effective.

Zhang Chen nodded with satisfaction at the progress of Zhao Xinghuo's practice. He did not disturb Zhao Xinghuo and returned to the house.

Zhang Chen has been training Zhao Xinghuo for the past few months, but Zhang Chen himself has not relaxed his practice at all.

Now Zhang Chen's practice has entered a stage of steady rise. Because Zhang Chen has not been in the Tao for a long time, the accumulation of spiritual energy has not reached its peak, so Zhang Chen has been accumulating spiritual energy.

Of course, even when accumulating spiritual energy, Zhang Chen has never relaxed his practice of sword intent.

Now Zhang Chen's sword intent is more than two circles larger than before, and the light yellow color in the sword intent is gradually fading.

Although the color has faded, the whole sword intent is more transparent, and even the previous annihilation sword intent is more intense and restrained. Now Zhang Chen's attack will not be like before. As long as the sword intent comes out, the people around him will feel the breath of his sword intent. After all, to a certain extent, the spread of sword intent is also a manifestation of poor control.

Although the progress of cultivation is slower than before, Zhang Chen is not impatient at all.

The change in Zhang Chen's state of mind now has a significant change compared to before.

Before, Zhang Chen was always wandering between fighting and life and death. If he was not careful, he would die. In addition, there were many taboos in cultivation that Zhang Chen did not understand, so he took a lot of detours, such as being controlled by evil thoughts to transform his body, which was a serious mistake.

But now it is different. With the improvement of Zhang Chen's strength, although he will still encounter some crises, these crises can be resolved without Zhang Chen's life and death as long as he is more alert. Without the worry of life and death, Zhang Chen's rhythm naturally slowed down. On the one hand, he consolidated his previous cultivation, and on the other hand, he wanted to lay a good foundation for future cultivation.

Before, Zhang Chen always thought that his cultivation would soon reach the top, but after meeting Su Bo and chatting with them, he realized that there is still a long way to go in cultivation. Zhang Chen is just starting out now.

It is also the first time that Zhang Chen has come into contact with this kind of world far away from him, so Zhang Chen's goal is not only to survive, but also to go to a higher place to see the scenery at a higher place.

Because of this, although Zhang Chen seems to have slowed down his cultivation, in fact, Zhang Chen has already touched the threshold of further progress.

In the hut, Zhang Chen closed his eyes and entered his consciousness. Now Zhang Chen's consciousness is very different from before. The golden mist that only appeared in Xuanyuan Sword before has begun to spread in Zhang Chen's sea of ​​consciousness, and Zhang Chen's soul has completely turned golden.

Unlike usual, this time Zhang Chen immediately found some different places after entering his sea of ​​consciousness.

Although Zhang Chen could feel that the golden mist absorbed by his soul was close to saturation, he had never found where the other golden mist went. But now Zhang Chen saw it in his sea of ​​consciousness, which was a big improvement. At the same time, Zhang Chen also found that as the golden mist entered the sea of ​​consciousness, Zhang Chen's speed of absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth also became faster.

Although this change is very small, if Zhang Chen did not know his body well, he would not notice it immediately, but this is a big improvement. Zhang Chen has a hunch that he will enter the highway of cultivation growth next.

Zhang Chen's retreat this time lasted for a week.

During this week, the entire Xudu has undergone earth-shaking changes, and even all the patterns have changed. There is only one reason for this situation.

Cao Cao called himself prime minister.

Although everyone knows that Cao Cao has always been in control of the Han Dynasty, this kind of thing has never been put on the surface. In this way, even if Cao Cao has taken over the entire Han Dynasty, he himself is not legitimate, and in the end he can only be the emperor at most. If he wants to come to the surface, he must first face the accusations of everyone in the world.

But now Cao Cao has appointed the prime minister and has a specific official position, which is different.

This is equivalent to Cao Cao coming to the front from the back, and it also gives all forces the most intuitive signal that Cao Cao has no patience to continue to waste time, and the war will soon come.

As the news of Cao Cao's appointment as prime minister spread throughout the world, there was another news. If the news of Cao Cao's appointment as prime minister was a thunderbolt for them, then this news was a spring rain for them.

This news did not come from Cao Cao, but from a small town.

Guo Jia, Cao Cao's military advisor, Guo Fengxiao died of illness.

This news made all forces feel relieved.

To them, although Cao Cao was terrifying, he was far away in Xu Du and they did not have much contact with him. But it was different for Guo Jia. Behind every victory of Cao's army and defeat of other forces, there was this military figure. For all other forces, Guo Jia was a nightmare in their hearts, and at the same time, Guo Jia was also a sharp knife in Cao Cao's hand.

Now that the sharp knife has disappeared, even if Cao Cao still has the ability to fight, and even has an army of nearly 800,000, what can it do?

Late at night, in a military camp.

"The two pieces of news came at the right time. Now the lord is recuperating, and the soldiers under his command are looking forward to a victory, but Cao Cao does not know our specific movements yet, so we can fish in troubled waters when the situation is turbulent." A young man with a feather fan and a scarf was talking to a middle-aged man in the military tent.

The middle-aged man was naturally Liu Bei, whom Zhang Chen had met before, and the young man was naturally Zhuge Liang.

Liu Bei frowned after hearing Zhuge Liang's words, "But Cao Cao is now powerful, and we are pulling teeth out of the tiger's mouth now, right?"

Zhuge Liang smiled slightly, "Don't worry, lord, Liang has a plan."

As he said, Zhuge Liang whispered to Liu Bei's ear. As Zhuge Liang whispered more and more, Liu Bei's eyes became brighter and brighter. In the end, he couldn't help but stand up and bow to Zhuge Liang, "Wolong's plan is very good!"
