After chatting with Ji Yuan for a while longer, Gu Chen left the imperial palace and returned to Gu Mansion.
In the following period, Gu Chen first went to Jing Tian Department and converted all the merits earned from defending Youzhou into soul crystals. After absorbing them, a large batch of merit points instantly appeared on his panel.
The thickness of these merit points was unprecedented in Gu Chen's history, even breaking past a thousand!
With so many merit points, Gu Chen naturally had to give some serious thought as to how to enhance his own strength.
Therefore, after greeting his second uncle Gu Chengfeng's family, Gu Chen headed to the Jing Tian Department headquarters in the inner city and found a secret room to commence closed-door cultivation.
Gu Chengfeng could not say much about Gu Chen's dedication to the martial path. As Gu Chen's second uncle, he was somewhat in the know and understood that the current state of the world was not as peaceful as it seemed.
