Dengtian Road

Qian'an Palace.

"Your Majesty, the Empress sent someone to congratulate the Empress with a gift from His Royal Highness Xiaowang."

"Biography." Emperor Jianyuan suddenly became interested.

There have been many miracles in the past few years, but most of them are disasters. Although he can confirm that the "immortals" do exist without secret investigations, but when the abilities cannot be used by him, he would rather they never exist.

Just dealing with foreign affairs caused Emperor Jianyuan to be overwhelmed, and the palace was uneasy. He left the palace when he was a child and grew up alone in Beimo. The fifth prince, who was far away from power disputes, was a bit special, because this son made him rarely relax.

Soon, the palace servants submitted what King Xiao wanted to the case.

Looking at the plate of watery fresh peaches in front of him, Emperor Jianyuan frowned slightly, what's wrong with giving away, instead of sending something that is imported, isn't he afraid of being tampered with halfway?It seems that we have to send a gentleman who is good at this. He doesn't want the Fifth Prince to be outstanding, at least he needs to be able to control his subordinates and live a life of prosperity and well-being.

At the same time, Emperor Jianyuan was also a little puzzled. Although it was very appropriate to send peaches to celebrate his birthday, he also knew that these were all produced near the capital, and eight to nine out of ten were produced locally in the capital. The empress sent them here specially. Instead of making a fuss over a molehill, it is better to send some made by the fifth prince himself.

Thinking of this, Emperor Jianyuan glanced at the six fresh peaches on the plate again. They were all about the same size, bright in color, rosy in color, and they looked very good.

Naturally, Emperor Jianyuan would not be moved by this point. Those who can be presented to him are not carefully selected, and even much better than this. What makes him care about is one of the fresh peaches. The other five were no different, yet they grabbed all of his attention at once.

"Zhang Qin." Emperor Jianyuan pointed casually.

"The slave will do it now."

Zhang Qin took the tray and returned it. Not long after, there were two more fruit plates in front of Emperor Jianyuan. Needless to say, one contained the sliced ​​peach meat designated by Emperor Jianyuan, and the other contained five other fruit plates. Whole fresh peaches, the only difference is that they have been washed again.

The handling of the peaches was supervised by the eunuch Zhang Qin, the confidant of Emperor Jianyuan, but the drug testing procedure before eating was unavoidable. It can be seen that the dragon chair is not so easy to sit on, and the term lonely is really appropriate.

As long as it is not so unlucky, it is also a blessing to be able to eat poisonous items, and to be able to taste the things imported by the Holy One. Although Zhang Qin's case is far inferior to that of Emperor Jianyuan, as a personal servant of the palace, it is often too late to call someone who specializes in poison testing , he has to serve it himself, such as right now, therefore, I am afraid that he has eaten more good things than ordinary concubines.

Originally, Zhang Qin didn’t care much about it. Isn’t it just peaches? Except for the extremely rare types of tribute, he has long been tired of eating them. What is unexpected is that this small piece of peach meat leaves a fragrance on his lips and teeth as soon as he eats it. Eat another piece.

Zhang Qin worked hard to suppress this impulse, and stood aside quietly with his brows folded and his eyes lowered. From the corner of his eyes, he glanced at the bowl of peach meat in front of Emperor Jianyuan from time to time, and the secretion of saliva accelerated.

After the peaches were cut open, the faint peach fragrance wafted out of the nostrils, making people move their index fingers more and more. Emperor Jianyuan's eyes dimmed, and before he ate it, something that could make an emperor salivate was not a good thing for him .

Thinking of the talisman given by the fifth prince a few years ago, Emperor Jianyuan's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that what he said casually about the blessing of the fifth prince had really come true?

Then he thought that the fifth prince was sent away when he was still in his infancy, and Emperor Jianyuan's eyes were dim. Wait, a few years later, after his [-]th birthday, he will be able to find an excuse for Shi Ye to return to Beijing. Still afraid of people leaving?

Now it's not like before, Emperor Jianyuan is powerful, it's not so easy to force him, even the queen mother has to weigh it, otherwise it will destroy the relationship between mother and child.

Thinking of this, Emperor Jianyuan picked up a piece of peach meat with a stick, and before he could chew it slowly, the peach meat turned into sweet juice and slid down his throat, one piece after another, and soon, a small bowl of peach meat disappeared.

Seeing this situation, Zhang Qin sighed regretfully in his heart, it seemed that he had no luck.During the process of cleaning and cutting into pieces, he had seen it. This fresh peach should be the best among the six peaches, and the others were not as good. His Majesty really deserved to be His Majesty. His eyes were so special that he could only settle for the second best, but That's enough, don't look at him as an imperfect person, how many people in the world live better than him?

Zhang Qin only ate a piece of peach meat and never forgot about it, let alone Emperor Jianyuan, if he hadn't had enough determination, an ordinary person would have devoured it long ago.Even so, Emperor Jianyuan couldn't help but glance at the other fruit plate, but unfortunately, none of them could give him the feeling he had just now.

The better feeling was yet to come. After eating the whole bowl of peach meat, Emperor Jianyuan's body was exhausted, and his whole body was wrapped in warmth, with unprecedented energy.

"Zhang Qin, drive Feng'an Palace."

When Emperor Jianyuan gave an order, he led his people to the destination in a mighty manner.

The main hall of Prince Xiao's Mansion.

Ji Shiye is ten years old this year, he is still a child, but because of his rich nutrition and years of exercise, his stature is a bit taller than that of his peers. He looks like a young boy, which is very attractive.

Over the years, Ji Shiye has long been used to the attention of everyone, but for a cultivator, this is not a good phenomenon, but there is no way at present, and he cannot waste his spiritual power on it in order to weaken everyone's attention to him .

Recently, Ji Shiye had a feeling in his heart that the three special peaches sent to the palace were obtained from that place that made him feel unusual.The Queen and the others felt refreshed physically and mentally after taking it, but for a monk like Ji Shiye, it was no less than the best medicine in the world.

There is a small amount of spiritual energy in the peach. When Ji Shiye first learned about it, he couldn't help but let go of his solid state of mind. He couldn't understand what it meant.If this news is known to everyone in the practice world, the mortal world that has just been quiet for a long time may set off another bloody storm.

Before the spiritual beasts and spirit plants were enlightened, they didn't know how to keep their own spiritual power. Once they entered the period of spiritual extinction, the accumulated spiritual power quickly collapsed, not to mention that the spiritual energy in the ordinary world was thin before the spiritual extinction period. Spiritual objects are extremely rare, and after only a few years of spiritual energy extinction, spiritual objects lose their spirituality and degenerate to the same level as ordinary animals and plants.

Under such circumstances, the sudden appearance of a spiritual plant that contains aura, and the stored aura is increasing day by day, all monks understand what it means.

Once he found out, Ji Shiye made a decisive decision and directly picked all the nine spirit peaches from the tree and put them in a jade box that isolated the spiritual energy.He is also helpless, although there are not many monks remaining in the mortal world, but he has to guard against it. Once the news is leaked, one or two are okay, and a group of them, Ji Shiye's reserve is not enough for these people, even worse. If the author attracts the attention of the practice world, how can he have his share?

Ji Shiye glanced at the jade slips left by Xuanzhen again. The period of spiritual extinction will still be a few years away. If everything is true, then the place where the spirit peach is located is an extremely special place, and it also marks the period of spiritual extinction is about to pass.

According to Ji Shiye's understanding, these places will become the places with the strongest aura in the new era, and it is very likely that there will be spiritual veins formed. If you don't start early, you are afraid that they will become someone else's pocket and have nothing to do with him.

Naturally, Ji Shiye was not willing to hand over the benefits to others, so he called Su Ji, a playmate he personally picked a few years ago, and asked him to go to the government office to buy the Frozen Valley and its surrounding mountains, and he wanted to build another courtyard on it.

This order is a bit incomprehensible, if you are an official such as Changshi Daguan, you will definitely object when you hear it, but Su Ji executes it without saying a word.

This is not to blame Chang Shi and the others, it is actually because the Frozen Valley has been covered with ice and snow for many years. It is conceivable that the altitude is not usually high. After all, the northern desert is extremely cold, and the terrain is not high enough, and the snow will melt for a few months During the period, it is not easy to say that it is not easy to change all year round.

Frozen Valley is a special case. It is not above the snow line, but it is not low. It is more than 1000 meters above sea level. It is not worth buying such a mountain range. It is no wonder that they do not object to it.

Su Ji is obviously different, he was cultivated by Ji Shiye himself, he can be regarded as his direct descendant, under normal circumstances he would not rashly object, such a person is exactly what Ji Shiye needs right now.

The entire Northern Desert is Ji Shiye's fiefdom, so buying a piece of mountain, which is a place where few people visit, is a piece of cake. On the same day, Su Ji finished the matter, and a freshly baked land deed fell into Ji Shiye's hands.

Looking at the land deed with the official seal, Ji Shiye felt very satisfied. A monk has many methods. If he wants to occupy the mountain, he can completely ignore the court. As the son of Emperor Jianyuan of the Tianyuan Dynasty, Ji Shiye naturally can't do this. He doesn't pay attention to some expenses.

It's just that what to do next makes Ji Shiye feel difficult. He has never learned the formation method, but he has a formation disk in his hand. The problem is that the coverage area is obviously not enough, and this is his only protective measure at present. He must not put the cart before the horse and use the formation disk The disk is moved to the frozen valley for use, and there is no formation to hide it. There is actually no difference between buying a mountain or not.

Ji Shiye rubbed the messenger talisman in his hand, hesitating.Placing hope on others is a failure after all. What's worse is that he has too few cultivation resources in his hands. Even though he faintly feels that the inheritance of the Hunyuan Pearl is all-encompassing, there should be no lack of formations. Unfortunately, the distant water cannot save the near fire. At present, with his cultivation level, he still can't get in touch with these, and if the Frozen Valley, which is very likely to eventually evolve into a spiritual vein, is not covered by a formation, it can be easily discovered by monks.

Such a situation made Ji Shiye fall into a dilemma.

Should we cooperate with Xuanzhen, strike first, and occupy the Frozen Valley, or should we take advantage of the period when no one has set foot on it, and hurry up to practice in order to unblock the formation with the Hunyuan Orb?

For a while, Ji Shiye couldn't make up his mind.
