Survive, the rules of rebirth for the villain witch

Everyone knew Youhuang's strength, and no one dared to cause trouble to her anymore, and Gongxue's life was no longer prosperous.

However, things were very turbulent at the court. First, the empress regained her youth overnight. Second, after a young palace maid mysteriously disappeared and reappeared, a young girl also disappeared among the people, with no memories and looking exhausted. For a time, the people of Tiandu were in a panic.

In front of the imperial study, Shen Zhaojun was wearing an imperial robe. With her bright facial features and heroic and noble temperament, the robe also exuded the dignity of a phoenix robe.

Less than half a month had passed since her last entry into the palace when the empress summoned her into the palace again. The reason last time was to understand the situation in Liancheng in southern Xinjiang, but this time there was no reason at all. The eunuch who delivered the decree only said that the empress summoned her and refused to say a single word more.

Shen Zhaojun had also seen a lot of storms. So many people watched her being summoned into the palace, and no matter how bold and presumptuous the empress was, she would not dare to touch her.

She pinched the pigeon egg-sized bead hidden in her sleeve, and felt more confident. Her daughter gave her this bead when she entered the palace last time. She said that if she encountered an emergency that she could not handle, she should crush the bead and she would be by her side as soon as possible.

After a long time, Ah Heng came out and bowed to Shen Zhaojun, saying, "Madam Shen, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. His Majesty summons you to come in."

Shen Zhaojun nodded slightly and walked into the Imperial Library under the guidance of Ah Heng. As soon as she entered the door, she found that there was a man standing next to the empress, but he was not Emperor Yuanqing. Looking at the man's luxurious Taoist robe, she knew that he was the newly appointed national teacher.

"I have known Madam Shen since childhood. It has been more than 40 years. You really don't look like a mother of three children."

"Counting the time, Your Majesty and I haven't seen each other for more than ten years. Your Majesty's face is still as young as when we first met in the palace school. I am ashamed of myself."

Facing the empress's young and somewhat weird face, Shen Zhaojun replied with a smile. Her daughter told her not to fight for the moment, but to support the empress for the time being, so that Yu Chuxi would feel that she had finally won and naturally would not cause trouble for her for no reason.

So today I even wore light makeup, trying to make people ignore my appearance.

"My teacher heard that Madam Shen has been guarding the northwest with her husband for many years. At first glance, it doesn't seem like..."

"My wife is chatting with His Majesty, why are you, a Taoist priest, butting in?" Shen Zhaojun said coldly, glancing at the man and said, "Are you trying to interfere in His Majesty's government affairs?"

"Mrs. Shen, you are too polite." The empress immediately gave the national teacher a chance to step aside and solemnly introduced him, "This is Master Yan Kong Xuanyan, who was appointed as the national teacher by me. He is a famous cultivator in the world of cultivation, and his Taoism is unfathomable."

"So it's Master Yan. I wonder what school or sect Master Yan learned from? What is his current level of cultivation?"

Shen Zhaojun looked at Yan Kongxuan and asked two questions in a row. After asking, she smiled calmly and explained: "My daughter is also a cultivator. She often talks about things in the cultivation world. This lady also knows a thing or two about the major sects in the cultivation world and the subdivisions of the realms of cultivation."

"This real person..."

Yan Kongxuan was reprimanded by Shen Zhaojun and was a little angry, but he still had to maintain the cold and aloof demeanor of an immortal master who didn't care about worldly affairs.

Originally, he was looking upwards, but after hearing what Shen Zhaojun said, he lowered his eyes slightly and thought for a moment, "This Immortal is from Yao Sect, and I..."

"Yao Sect, I heard about it from my daughter." Shen Zhaojun said with a smile, "I heard that Yao Sect is based on swordsmanship, and the sect is full of swordsmanship masters. My daughter has a good relationship with Elder Wang and his wife from Yao Sect."

"Mrs. Shen, did you remember it wrong? I remember that Yao Sect was founded on the basis of formations." Yan Kongxuan calmly pointed out Shen Zhaojun's mistake. Could this woman be trying to trick him?

"I got it wrong." Shen Zhaojun slapped his forehead and said, "Really? They were the ones who set up the formation for the Marquis of Wushen Mansion. Maybe my daughter talked too much about the Sword Sect these past two days and I got it mixed up. I'm really sorry."

"Master Yan, I heard from my daughter that an ancient ruin in the demon world was opened a few days ago. Did Master Yan go to look for treasure?"

Shen Zhaojun chatted casually: "I heard from my daughter that it is full of mid-level spiritual herbs and fruits. If you are lucky, you can even find a magic weapon. It is said that a magic weapon can be exchanged for a city in the cultivation world. It's a pity that these good things can't be brought to the human world. It's really a pity."

"Why can't we bring it to the human world?"

These remarks not only shocked the empress.

Even Yan Kongxuan, who originally had an arrogant look on his face, showed a hint of surprise in his eyes, but his face was still pretending to be profound.

Shen Zhaojun nodded and said, "Your Majesty, this is the rule of the cultivation world. I am not too sure about the details, but it seems that it is because mortals are too weak to withstand the spiritual power of mid-level and above spiritual herbs and fruits, and they may die on the spot."

I see...your daughter is also attending?"

The empress thought for a moment and asked in surprise, she had no idea that Chu Youhuang had left Tiandu.

Shen Zhaojun sighed and said, "The teacher only approved three days of leave, which was too short. I didn't get anything good, so I just picked up some spiritual stones."

"After I came back, she often sighed in front of me, saying that it would take a hundred years to get a chance to enter the God Ruins, but in the end, she had to leave without getting anything good. If she could stay in there for a few more days, maybe she could get a magic weapon."

"What is a magic weapon?" The empress was led astray by Shen Zhaojun and could not suppress her curiosity.

"Weapons used by gods are called divine weapons, weapons used by immortals are called immortal weapons, and weapons used by immortal cultivators like Master Yan are called spiritual weapons."

Facing the empress's curiosity, Shen Zhaojun also explained one by one: "It is said that Shenxu is a corner of the God Realm. It fell into the Demon Realm due to some special reasons. It seems that there is also a secret realm in the human world. It is located on the sea, but you have to take a flying boat to get there."

"I wonder what treasures are in the secret realm of the human world?" Master Yan could no longer suppress his inner excitement and took the initiative to ask.

"That was my daughter's biggest regret." Shen Zhaojun sighed even more heavily and said, "Because of her shallow knowledge, she missed the chance to obtain the ninth-grade elixir that had already transformed..."

"The ninth-grade elixir that has transformed into a human form!" Yan Kongxuan shouted without waiting for her to finish. Shen Zhaojun smiled and said, "That's right. Those people from the Demon Realm who got the advantage for nothing can only squat in the lake formed by spiritual power and rub the spiritual stones with their hands."

The lake transformed by spiritual power alone was enough to make Yan Kongxuan's heart excited.

"This kid has followed Fairy Xuehai for four years in vain. He has only learned a little bit of knowledge and can't recognize the good stuff."

From Yao Sect to Jian Sect, Shen Zhaojun borrowed the power of others to subdue Yan Kongxuan step by step, and finally threw out irresistible temptations to lure the two into his trap.

Upon hearing that there was a ninth-grade elixir, Yan Kongxuan almost left and went to the secret realm on the sea to find it.

After struggling for a while, he tried hard to suppress his inner excitement and said, "I have heard that when a cultivator reaches the Tribulation Realm and takes a ninth-grade elixir before the Tribulation Realm, it means that one foot has already stepped into the Immortal Realm. It seems that your daughter's chance to become an immortal has not yet arrived."

"What would happen if an ordinary person got it?"

The empress tried her best to conceal her inner excitement, but her own voice still betrayed her.
