376 Question_1

“Before I left the palace, I did something unnecessary. I asked the eunuch His Majesty sent to supervise …” He said.

Xu Qi ‘an told Wei Yuan the script he had taught the young eunuch.

Seeing that Wei Yuan was deep in thought, Xu Qi ‘an quickly said, ” I made my own decision without permission. Lord Wei, please analyze it.

Hearing this, Wei Yuan smiled and nodded, “”Although it was your own decision, you did well. His Majesty is suspicious and good at checks and balances. If your words reach his ears, he will be suspicious of noble Consort Chen.

“From there, he would have to reevaluate the entire Consort Fu case and consider the pros and cons of many parties, as well as the balance that he had been trying so hard to maintain.”

Xu Qi ‘an was still not satisfied. He said in an unconfident tone, “”Will His Majesty be able to see through it? Or perhaps, that little eunuch and his Majesty should confess to me that he accepted my money and pass on my message?”

“There’s nothing wrong with what you said. It’s all real,” Wei Yuan laughed, ”

“As for the latter question, confessing to His Majesty will only expose that he has received bribes and has done nothing. Who would lift a stone to smash their own feet? To be able to work in His Majesty’s Palace, not to say that they are smart, but at least they are not too stupid.”

Hehe, I know all this … “Duke of Wei is extremely intelligent, I’m impressed,” Xu Qi ‘an said in a tone of admiration.

Wei Yuan looked at him deeply and shook his head.

Then, he returned to the tea room in a relaxed mood and poured two cups of tea for himself. you have already entered the spirit-refining stage. Do not stop refining your primordial spirit. When the extra acupoints outside your meridians swell up, you can refine your body and soul in advance.

Extra acupoints outside the meridians … Oh, oh, temple.

Xu Qi ‘an was stunned for a moment before he realized that the extra-meridian point referred to the temple. There was no such thing as temple in this world.

The extraordinary acupoints outside the meridians sounded like high-end and high-end … Xu Qi ‘an didn’t like the term ” temple ” either, because he always felt that it was a verb.

Hearing this, Xu Qi ‘an knew that his operation just now had produced good feedback. Wei Yuan was in a good mood and wanted to reward him for his contributions.

Wei Yuan could see through her act of ” asking for forgiveness ” but she was actually asking for credit. However, leaders liked subordinates who held themselves in high regard.

Even the wise Wei Yuan was no exception.

If Xu Qi ‘an had just said,”Lord Wei, I’ve done a great job again, hahahaha …”

The feedback he would receive would be completely different. Wei Yuan might even criticize him and tell him to stay calm and not be arrogant.

“Temper the body and soul?” Xu Qi ‘an asked.

Tempering the body was the main content of the essence cultivation realm. It was nothing more than aerobic and anaerobic exercises to break through the limits of one’s physical strength. Every three days, he would have to ask a doctor to relax his muscles and promote blood circulation to relieve the muscle damage. Then, he would have to eat large amounts of fish and meat, as well as some warm and nourishing Chinese medicine.

Xu Qi ‘an “ate” 100 taels of silver a year, which was almost half of second uncle’s annual income.

After reaching the spirit-refinement realm, the methods of the essence-refinement realm would no longer work. Xu Qi ‘an did not know how to temper his body and soul.

I’ve told you before that a warrior’s system can’t be achieved overnight. It’s the constant exploration and improvement of the predecessors, which is why we have the nine grades of martial arts today.

Wei Yuan sipped his tea and said, “”In the beginning, the copper skin and iron bones were formed by hitting the metal with a stick, just like a blacksmith’s hammer, forging a piece of iron base into a fine iron. This process is extremely long, and because the vital parts are often hit, if the foundation is not solid enough, you will die an unnatural death.”

Lord Wei, when you said you hit a vital part, is it the kind that I understand … Hmm, the chicken flew and the eggs were destroyed?

later on, someone created medicinal baths. With special natural treasures as the main ingredient, they placed a person in a large cauldron to cook. Martial artists would then cultivate in the cauldron to resist the high temperature and absorb the medicinal power. This was how they achieved the copper skin iron bone realm.

“What’s the death rate?” Xu Qi ‘an asked.

it’s also very dangerous. Sometimes, people get cooked while they’re being cooked. Wei Yuan replied.

“…….”

An image suddenly appeared in Xu Qi ‘an’s mind. He was sitting in a large cauldron with boiling water beside him. Yan Caiwei, who was proficient in medicine, was constantly adding ingredients into the cauldron.Fennel, beans, cinnamon, scallion …

Xu lingying stood to the side, tears flowing from the corners of her mouth.

“Is there a safer way?” He quietly swallowed his saliva.

“With the birth of generations of geniuses, someone finally created the first set of cultivation methods that used Qi cultivation as the foundation and body tempering as a supplement. The core of this technique is to use a special method of Qi circulation to temper the body from the inside out. With the combination of beating or boiling, the danger will be greatly reduced.”

Wei Yuan spread out a piece of paper and wrote the words ‘Hunyuan art’, ”

“The Yamen’s top technique is called the mixed element technique, and every Jin Gong uses this technique. Ha, throwing it into the pugilistic world will only bring about a storm of blood.”

Once again, Xu Qi ‘an realized the benefits of being a night watchman under Wei Yuan’s wing. There were the best martial arts techniques and the most luxurious resources here. For Xu Qi’ an, the resources that were beyond the reach of Jianghu Wanderers were indeed within his reach.

That included the visualization picture, which was also of the highest quality.

The fact that he was able to enter the spirit-refinement realm so quickly was due to his talent, but it also had to do with the resources that Wei Yuan had given him.

The martial arts system was really a Coolie profession. Using modern knowledge to analyze, rank-9 essence refinement realm was also known as the brick-moving realm, rank-8 was Qigong practice and moving bricks, rank-7 was burning the liver and staying up late to move bricks, and rank-6 was even more amazing, directly breaking a big rock with the chest … Xu Qian sighed and asked, ”

“Duke of Wei, is there a Qi-circulating technique that can cultivate a body of copper and iron without cooking or beating with a stick?”

“There are!”

Wei Yuan’s answer was beyond Xu Qi ‘an’s expectations. He was happy at first, but then he asked, “”In a dream?”

…….. Wei Yuan looked at him and remained silent for a few seconds. Then, he said gently, “”Buddhism has a similar technique. Some people say that the bronze skin iron bone realm of martial artists is derived from the Vajra realm of Buddhism.

some people also say that Buddha took the system of martial arts as a reference and opened a new path in the Buddhist system, which is called the martial monk.

In other words, the monk system had a set of techniques that allowed one to cultivate copper skin and iron bones without cooking. This was easy to handle. He could trick number six and take it from him for free … Xu Qi ‘an’s face unconsciously revealed an innocent smile.

……….

The emperor’s chamber.

Emperor Yuan jing was sitting cross-legged on the bed, breathing with his eyes closed. A stick of sandalwood was burning at the corner of the bed, and the smoke was thin and straight.

The old eunuch stood at the side, his eyes lowered and he didn’t make a single sound.

At this moment, the sound of footsteps came from outside. A young eunuch had stopped outside the bedchamber.

The old eunuch took a look at Emperor Yuan jing, who was getting better and better, and walked to the door with small steps. He lowered his voice and said, “”What’s the matter?”

“Godfather, Daoist chief has sent a Daoist from spirit Treasure Temple to invite His Majesty.” The eunuch said in a low voice.

The old eunuch was obviously taken aback. He counted the time with his fingers and thought to himself that the date was right. These few days of the month were the days when the state preceptor was in a state of discomfort and was in seclusion to recuperate.

Even his Majesty could not disturb him, and could only cultivate in his own palace.

“I know, you may leave.”

After sending away the young eunuch, the old eunuch slowly walked back to the bed and said in a low voice, “”Your Majesty …”

Emperor Yuan jing opened his eyes.

“The state preceptor has sent someone to invite Your Majesty over for enlightenment,” the old eunuch said.

Emperor Yuan jing was slightly stunned. Then, his calm eyes brightened up.

“Get ready, quickly go!”

The state preceptor would suffer from the burning of karmic fire every month, and his seven emotions and six desires would surge endlessly. Therefore, the state preceptor would choose to go into seclusion these few days, and no one was allowed to enter the Lingbao temple.

However, Emperor yuanjing knew that if the Imperial advisor agreed to dual cultivate with him one day, it would definitely be within these few days.

Emperor Yuan jing had been waiting for this day for a long time. Although his black hair had regrown and his body was strong, he was still in his Prime. But he still couldn’t live forever.

If he wanted to go further, he would have to dual cultivate with the state preceptor and absorb her spiritual energy. Only then would he be able to live forever and become the Emperor of Da Feng.

They left the sleeping Palace and boarded the Dragon carriage. Emperor Yuan jing urged them along the way and they soon arrived at Lingbao temple.

However, when he saw the female state preceptor, he was disappointed to find that she had really only invited him to meditate and do breathing exercises, just like how she had done her homework in the past.

The female state preceptor, who had a cinnabar between her brows and beautiful features, sat cross-legged on a futon. Her voice was gentle and charming.”Your Majesty, please sit.”

Her black and beautiful hair was tied up with a Lotus crown, highlighting her beautiful white face. It was clean, without a single strand of hair hanging down.

Emperor Yuan jing was not willing to give up. Imperial Preceptor, ” he said in a deep voice, ” if you are not willing to dual cultivate with me, why did you invite me here at this time? ”

Luo Yuheng closed his eyes. I won’t be burned by the karmic sinflames this month, ” he said lightly. I’ve promised to teach Your Majesty the art of immortality. I’ll keep my promise and not slack off for even a day.

Emperor Yuan jing was silent for a moment and sat down on his futon. He didn’t immediately close his eyes and cultivate, but said, ”

“State preceptor, the medicinal herbs for the rejuvenation pill have been prepared. I will send someone to deliver them to the spirit Treasure Temple tomorrow.”

Luo Yuheng opened his eyes and looked at Emperor Yuan jing. He suddenly sighed.”Your Majesty’s Black hair has regrown, and after cultivating for many years, you’re already immune to all diseases. There’s no need to refine the Four Seasons divine pill.”

Emperor Yuan jing ignored him and closed his eyes to cultivate.

Emperor Yuan jing had to refine four cauldrons of pills in the Four seasons of the year. The pills would be formed during the four solar terms of the spring equinox, summer solstice, Autumn Equinox, and winter solstice.

Each cauldron of large pills was worth a city, equivalent to three years of tax revenue of a County, and that was in a wealthy area.

Other than the four cauldrons of large pills, there were 36 cauldrons of small pills. The amount of silver consumed was shocking.

This silver was not embezzled from the Treasury of the Ministry of Revenue, but from Emperor Yuan jing’s own small Treasury. As for how the silver in Emperor Yuan jing’s small Treasury came about, everyone in the court knew, but they had a tacit understanding.

By the time the Enlightenment with the Imperial advisor ended, it was already sunset.

Emperor Yuan jing was in a bad mood, so he was silent after returning to his bedroom. Remembering that the case of Consort Fu was not over yet, he said impatiently, ”

“Great companion, let the cabinet draft a decree. Fu Fei’s case has been delayed again and again, and it is already past ten. I order the three divisions to give the results within two days.”

The result was “whether the Queen is guilty.”

“Yes, Your Majesty,”

The old eunuch hesitated for a moment and said in a low voice, “”Xu Qi ‘an came to the palace again today.”

Emperor Yuan jing frowned. why is he still here? send someone to the Yamen to take back the gold medal tomorrow.

The Empress had already pleaded guilty, and the case of Consort Fu could almost be closed. There was no need for that little Gong to come to the palace again.

The old eunuch nodded and said in a soft voice, “”Then do you still want to question this servant today?”

Emperor Yuan jing thought for a while and nodded slowly. “Announce!”

The old eunuch left the chamber. In less than 15 minutes, he came in with the young eunuch who was supervising Xu Qi ‘an.

The little eunuch lowered his head, bent his back, and stood there obediently.

Emperor Yuan jing sat behind the desk and looked down at the young eunuch. what did Xu Qi ‘an come to the palace to investigate today? ”
