The experience of living in the cold palace

Li Xuan had already guessed that Princess Hongying would come to find him.

after all.

Princess Hongying had asked him to follow her to Guangning Mansion to suppress bandits, so she must have wanted to test him.

Although Princess Hongying was busy snatching the life seed due to the birth of the fate map and did not pay attention to him, it did not mean that this suspicion disappeared.

On the contrary, because of his performance in Guangning Mansion, this suspicion will become deeper and deeper.

Li Xuan's mind changed rapidly, but he was not too panicked. He pretended to be surprised and stepped forward to salute:

"I've met the princess, I've met the chief steward."

Princess Hongying waved her hand and looked at Li Xuan with a half-smile: "No need to be polite, we have met several times and we can be considered old friends, right?"

Li Xuan looked horrified and said: "How can a youngster be so lucky to be friends with a princess?"

Manager Zhang laughed at the side and said: "Xiao Xuanzi, you are very lucky. Her Royal Highness the Princess came all the way to deliver the alchemy furnace to you personally."

"Alchemy furnace?" Li Xuan's eyes moved.

Princess Hongying explained: "You have made great contributions to suppressing bandits before. Didn't Shangguan Rou allow you to pick three things? This alchemy furnace should be one of them, but it is too heavy to carry, so I will I ordered my caravan to bring it back for you."

The words just fell.

There were four miscellaneous eunuchs carrying the alchemy furnace and came over humming.

This alchemy furnace doesn't look too big, only about five feet high and three feet wide.

The whole body is pitch black, with some complicated golden line runes on it.

It must have been made from very special materials. The small alchemy furnace looked extremely heavy, and it actually made the four eunuchs who were refining meat sweat profusely.

"Thank you for your help, princess. I'm very grateful."

Li Xuan knew that Princess Hongying must have detained this alchemy furnace on purpose, just to find a reason to get close to him.

It seemed that Princess Hongying had most likely already investigated herself before coming.

Some of her previous actions, such as leaving the main force, losing the Fire Cloud Horse, etc., were enough to arouse her suspicion.

but.

Li Xuan thought that he didn't leave any obvious flaws, so he didn't panic.

Princess Hongying said with a smile: "You have a good sense. I heard from people that this alchemy furnace is called Wujin Panlong furnace. Its value is comparable to a magic weapon. It also has some magic circle runes engraved on it. After it is activated, It can increase the rate of elixir formation and even improve the elixir level."

"I just like to make alchemy in my daily life, so when I saw this alchemy furnace, I was very happy and chose it." Li Xuan explained.

General Manager Zhang complimented Li Xuan: "General Manager Li started refining elixirs a long time ago. Speaking of which, when I was young, I asked General Manager Li to make elixirs, and the results were very good."

"Really? I can't tell. Manager Li has learned quite a lot." Princess Hongying showed an interested look.

Li Xuan bowed: "Youngster is just thinking about it. So far, I have only refined six or seven-grade elixirs, which is nothing to mention."

"You are not a legal practitioner. It is extremely difficult to achieve such a level of alchemy." Princess Hongying glanced at Li Xuan's yard, "Where is this alchemy furnace?"

Only then did Li Xuan react: "Princess, please come in."

People entered the courtyard one after another.

Li Xuan asked the four eunuchs who were carrying the alchemy furnace to put the alchemy furnace in his alchemy room.

then.

He made another cup of tea for Princess Hongying and Manager Zhang.

Princess Hongying didn't care whether the tea was astringent or not, she took a sip directly and said calmly:

"Manager Li, I have actually been interested in alchemy since I was a child, but unfortunately I don't have the talent in that area. You can tell me about your experience in alchemy. When I have time, I might also be able to try to make alchemy."

There was a pause.

She looked at Mr. Zhang who was standing aside and said, "Mr. Zhang, I may need some time to learn alchemy knowledge from Mr. Li. If you have anything to do, please go and do it."

General Manager Zhang was able to get into this position, and his ability to observe people's emotions was naturally quite good. He immediately realized what was going on and said:

"Speaking of which, I do have some unfinished business, so I won't disturb His Highness."

Immediately.

He looked at Li Xuan again: "Manager Li, I would like to teach Her Highness the art of alchemy. Don't neglect me."

"Yes, Manager Zhang, walk slowly." Li Xuan stood up.

Manager Zhang pushed Li Xuan back to his seat and left in a hurry.

There was some slander in his heart.

Is this little Xuanzi so charming? !

First, she was appointed as the manager of the cold palace by the empress, and then she was specially left to explain things by the Duanmu empress. Now, the Hongying princess also came here in person, wanting to have a secret talk with Xiao Xuanzi.

When did eunuchs like them, who are hated by humans and dogs, become so popular?

‘This Xiaoxuanzi is not simple. It seems that we will have to get closer to him in the future. ’ Manager Zhang thought to himself.

inside the house.

Li Xuan naturally didn't know what Manager Zhang was thinking. He looked at Princess Hongying pretending to be cautious:

"Your Highness, my knowledge of the art of alchemy is quite shallow. I really don't dare to lie. If I mislead you, I will be punished by death."

Princess Hongying folded her hands across her chest, revealing a sense of heroism and heroism:

"Manager Li, I don't like to talk in circles. Let me ask you, are you willing to leave the cold palace and work with me in the future?"

Li Xuan's eyes flashed, but he didn't expect Princess Hongying to be so direct. After thinking about it, he declined politely:

"Your Highness, I am of low ability and I am afraid I won't be able to help you much. Moreover, the post of general manager was appointed by the Queen herself. I really dare not live up to the Queen's grace."

He was worried that Princess Hongying would cause trouble, so he moved the queen out directly.

No matter how strong Princess Hongying is, she must be cautious in her words and deeds when facing the queen.

As soon as Li Xuan finished speaking, he heard Princess Hongying snort:

"If you dare to reject me, you will be dead. The Queen will not be able to save you!"

Zheng!

The sound of swords resounding like the roar of a phoenix.

Princess Hongying shook her palm, and the sharp iron pieces were continuously combined together, instantly turning into a sharp sword, and stabbed towards Li Xuan's eyebrow!

This ability to hide a sword in one hand is simply miraculous.

Princess Hongying's sharp sword is extremely fast and will pierce Li Xuan's eyebrows in the blink of an eye.

Li Xuan was startled, screamed, subconsciously stepped back several steps, and fell to the ground.

However, the sharp sword followed him closely, just inches away from his eyebrows.

"Princess, spare your life." Li Xuan shouted.

Just as the sword was about to pierce Li Xuan's forehead, the sword suddenly stopped and broke into pieces, attached to Princess Hongying's clothes all over her body.

Princess Hongying frowned and looked at Li Xuan: "Why don't you fight back?"

"Your Highness the Princess has unparalleled swordsmanship, and her cultivation level is only at the Bone Forging Realm, so she can't stop her at all." Li Xuan lamented.

He could naturally run the "Tiangang Seven Star Steps" just now and dodge Princess Hongying's sword.

However, if you really do this, your secret will be exposed.

His soul realm has now reached the manifest realm, and his perception is much stronger than that of others.

Just now, he did not sense murderous intent on Princess Hongying's sword, which meant that Princess Hongying did not intend to kill him.

If he directly avoids Princess Hongying's sword, his strength will be revealed and he will play into Princess Hongying's hands.

Li Xuan sighed in his heart, if it were anyone else, Princess Hongying might have been deceived out of her true strength.

Unfortunately, he was already on guard, and with his keen senses, he would not be easily fooled.

"It's impossible, it doesn't make sense."

Princess Hongying frowned and walked to Li Xuan's side, the energy in her body rolling like a tide.

She looked at Li Xuan and said: "I need to find out something, Manager Li, don't resist, it will be over soon."

Finished.

She didn't wait for Li Xuan to answer or not, and the powerful inner energy turned into wisps of lines and penetrated into Li Xuan's body along the skin.

This is obviously a detection method, trying to find out whether Li Xuan is a Xiantian realm warrior.

Li Xuan could vaguely feel that the inner energy followed a fixed route and quickly reached the Dantian.

only.

now.

Li Xuan's Dantian was mysteriously hidden.

There is no way to detect this inner energy.

'What a risk. Fortunately, I had a premonition that Princess Hongying would come to check me out, and I practiced the "Xuanwu Breathing Method" to perfection in advance. ’ Li Xuan breathed a sigh of relief.

Previously, the progress of his "Xuanwu Closed Breathing Method" has reached Dacheng (33000/40000).

Plus the experience points accumulated in the past few days.

Li Xuan raised it to perfection (5000/80000) without hesitation.

After reaching the perfect state of "Xuanwu Breathing Method", you can adjust the position of muscles and organs in the body through breathing, and wrap the Dantian.

Even if you use inner energy to explore, you can't find it at all.

Unless the opponent doesn't care about his life or death and forcefully breaks open the muscles and organs.

It is clear.

Princess Hongying did not do this.

After using her inner energy to explore around, she frowned slightly and quickly took her inner energy back.

"Sorry, it seems I misunderstood." Princess Hongying frowned.

After hearing about Li Xuan's performance in Guangning Mansion, she became extremely suspicious of Li Xuan, thinking that Li Xuan was most likely the masked man who killed Mu Chenxue with her.

Therefore, I made an excuse to send the alchemy furnace and wanted to check it out.

However, after investigating, she found that Li Xuan did not open up his Dantian, but was only an acquired warrior, and she couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

Although she had previously given the masked man a copy of the "Xuanwu Breathing Technique" that concealed the aura, but if the "Xuanwu Breathing Technique" wanted to block the detection of inner energy, it needed to be practiced at least to a perfect state.

She didn't believe that someone could practice "Xuanwu Breathing Method" from beginner level to perfection in just one month.

If he really had such a talent, how could he be a eunuch in the palace? !

This doesn't make sense.

"I thought I had offended Her Highness the Princess, it was just a misunderstanding."

Li Xuan felt a little relieved. It seemed that this level had been passed by a fool.

but.

He didn't dare to be careless because there was no guarantee that Princess Hongying would go crazy and continue to send people to test him.

'It seems that I have to improve the "Xuanwu Breathing Method" to the perfect stage as soon as possible. By then, even a master-level warrior will not be able to see through my disguise. ’ Li Xuan thought.

With his current perfect level of "Xuanwu Breathing Technique", at most it can only block the induction of the same level.

If the master took action, he would be able to detect the subtle changes.

Princess Hongying looked at Li Xuan: "You have good abilities. There is no need to stay in a place like this. What I just said is still valid. If you don't want to stay in the cold palace, you can come to me at any time."

You want to support me, but it’s a pity that you can’t support me with my current worth... Li Xuan bowed:

"Thank you for your appreciation, princess. I will definitely come to serve the princess when I am capable enough."

Princess Hongying naturally knew that these were just polite words from Li Xuan, and said calmly:

"That's it. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."

"I'll see you off."

Li Xuan sent Princess Hongying out of the yard, then turned back to the room.

The smile on his face gradually faded.

Even though I got through it just now, it was really thrilling.

Whenever Princess Hongying brings a master-level warrior over this time, he will be exposed.

‘This princess is not a fool and is not easy to fool. It seems that you should be more cautious next time you come into contact with her. ’

Li Xuan originally planned to trade the magical skill "Kunpeng Tuna Technique" with Princess Hongying.

Now it seems that we must be more cautious.

Unless absolutely necessary, it is better to have less contact with such smart people.

Maybe one day there will be a flaw left and she will take advantage of it.

‘Now at least there is no risk of being exposed for the time being. After I wait for a while and reach the master level, it won’t matter even if I am exposed. ’

A martial artist at the master level can be granted a title of marquis in the imperial court, and can establish a sect in the martial arts world.

When Li Xuan reaches the master level, even if Princess Hongying sees through his disguise, she will probably just pretend not to know.

Didn't think much more about it.

Li Xuan left Leng Palace and arrived in front of an attic half an hour later.

This is where the Daqian arsenal is located.

When Emperor Taizu Yang Hao set foot on the rivers and lakes, most of the martial arts, Taoism, and miscellaneous arts in the rivers and lakes were put into his arsenal.

Here, it can be said that it is far better than the collections of some famous sects.

Li Xuan didn't think much and walked into the arsenal.

"Meow."

An orange cat meowed.

Li Xuan turned around and saw an old eunuch leaning on a rocking chair, closing his eyes to relax.

The fat orange cat was lying in his arms.

"Give us the badge." The old eunuch stretched out his hand.

Li Xuan handed it over respectfully.

The old eunuch took a look, and his tone showed a bit of surprise:

"Oh, it turns out it's you, the little eunuch. I didn't expect that in just half a year, you would be promoted to manager. This promotion is really fast."

Li Xuan bowed slightly: "The younger one is just a little lucky, thanks to Eunuch Zheng's original guidance."

He did not dare to offend the old eunuch guarding the arsenal in front of him in the slightest.

This old eunuch has lived for more than a hundred years, and his aura is still so strong and deep. He is most likely a great master.

It is a bit incredible that such a person is actually guarding the arsenal here.

"You should know the rules, so I won't go into details here. Just go and choose." The old eunuch returned the badge to Li Xuan.

"yes."

Li Xuan took it, then walked to the martial arts area on the first floor and made a serious choice.

He has thought it through.

This time, choose a superior sword technique that matches the "Seven Killing Swords of Dielang" and a body-refining technique to prepare for the Heavenly Thunder Body Tempering.

'The Seven Killing Swords of Die Lang pays attention to the momentum and thickness, and is slightly lacking in agility and power-carrying skills. I can prefer to choose sword techniques with higher sensitivity to learn from each other's strengths, and the Seven Killing Swords of Die Lang. 》Smelted together, and then extracted the essence of other sword techniques learned from the ladies, and turned them into a sword technique that is unique to me! ’ Li Xuan quickly picked.

Originally, creating your own martial arts was something that only great masters would do.

However, Li Xuan now has the talent of sword art, and his understanding of sword art is no worse than that of the great master.

Coupled with the bonus of experience points, you can quickly master a sword technique, and you are naturally qualified to create a martial arts!

Moreover, Li Xuan creates sword techniques based on his own characteristics, and the moves he creates will fit him perfectly.

Li Xuan kept reading about the best sword techniques, and almost all of them were stored directly in the arsenal.

It took me two days to read through it.

Only then did Li Xuan choose a favorite sword technique.

The superior seventh-level sword technique, "Electric Purgatory Knife".

The main focus of this sword technique is its treacherous and unpredictable nature.

The sword was drawn out at an extremely fast speed, and it flashed away like lightning.

After this sword is struck, the opponent will be like falling into purgatory, not knowing whether to live or die.

By the time he reacted, he had already been killed.

However, its power is slightly insufficient compared to the "Seven Killing Swords of Dielang".

If you can combine the advantages of the two, then integrate them into other sword techniques you have learned.

Then, the sword skills created will definitely surpass the current level and reach an incredible level.

Li Xuan suppressed his temper, put away the "Electric Light Purgatory Knife", and began to look for a way to refine his body.

So, I searched again and again for another day.

Li Xuan finally chose a body-refining method.

The sixth level of martial arts, "Arhat's Golden Body".

If there is any sect in the world that has the best research on body refining, it has to be Buddhism.

For example, the "Dharma Vajra Sutra" that Du E practiced before is one of the two major Buddhist body-refining methods alongside the "Arhat's Golden Body".

Once you have reached great heights in cultivation, you can cross levels to block attacks from warriors who are at a higher level than yourself.

"Arhat's Golden Body" is another level better than "Dharma Diamond Sutra".

Because of "Arhat's Golden Body", there is a follow-up body-refining method called "Zhangliu Golden Body".

However, if you want to practice the "Zhangliu Golden Body", you must practice the "Arhat Golden Body" to perfection, and your strength must reach the master level.

'These two requirements are nothing to me. In my current state, I should be able to get started with "Arhat's Golden Body" soon. However, for now, I still focus on creating my own sword skills, and everything else is You can push it back. ’

Li Xuan was silently making plans in his heart.

He walked to the front desk and handed the two martial arts "Electric Purgatory Knife" and "Arhat's Golden Body" to Eunuch Zheng.

Eunuch Zheng glanced at it and said, "It seems that you have a special liking for sword skills. How is your practice of the "Seven Killing Swords of Die Lang" going?"

"Back to Eunuch Zheng, I have already gained some insights, but I feel that the "Seven Killing Swords of the Waves" is a bit cumbersome, so I want to choose the "Electric Infernal Knife" to assist." Li Xuan said respectfully.

Eunuch Zheng made a point: "In any martial arts, it is important to be good at not too much. Just major in one or two swordsmanships. The two swordsmanship styles are very different. It is almost impossible to complement each other and master them. However, since you choose Yes, let’s practice and see, maybe it will work, haha.”

Did the old eunuch see something? He smiled so sinisterly... Li Xuan bowed and said, "Thank you very much, Eunuch Zheng, for your advice. I just used it as a reference."

He took away the "Electric Purgatory Knife" and "Arhat's Golden Body" and returned to the yard.

but.

He was not in a hurry to practice. After thinking about it, he took the factory service token of Dongchang and left the palace.

Ever since Princess Hongying tested him, he has been staying in the arsenal to choose martial arts.

He was worried that Princess Hongying would go to the He Yuzhu brothers and sisters, so he wanted to find out more about the situation.

By the way, he passed on the "Randeng Method" to He Yuzhu.

certainly.

Li Xuan was not afraid of what the He Yuzhu brothers and sisters would say.

after all.

The He Yuzhu brothers and sisters only knew that he was working in the palace and had no idea about his situation.

Even if I wanted to reveal something, I couldn't.

After showing the token to the imperial guards, Li Xuan quickly left the palace.

An hour later.

Li Xuan came to his small courtyard and knocked on the door.

Not long after.

He Yuzhu opened the door.

"Chi chi chi chi."

Jinhua also jumped out and jumped onto Li Xuan's shoulder.

I haven’t seen you for more than ten days.

The brocade flowers are getting whiter and tenderer.

"Go in and talk."

Li Xuan gathered up the brocade flowers and walked slowly into the courtyard.

He suddenly thought that when he and Princess Hongying teamed up to fight against Mu Chenxue, Jinhua seemed to have appeared, but it was dark and Jinhua ran very fast. He didn't know if Princess Hongying saw it.

Come to the hall.

Li Xuan couldn't help but ask: "Have any unknown people come to you these days?"

He Yuzhu shook his head: "No, I almost never go out."

"That's good." Li Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, "By the way, if someone comes in the future, hide Jinhua well and don't let her appear in front of outsiders."

He Yuzhu nodded: "I understand, Jinhua is timid. Apart from being close to Brother Xuan and me, she even hides from my brother. No one knows that Jinhua is here."

"Yes." Li Xuan rubbed the brocade flower in his hand and got down to business, "I brought a concept method here this time, and I will now help you get started."

To practice the "Randeng Dharma", you not only need to recite the instructions silently, but also visualize the image of the ancient Buddha Randeng.

Naturally, Li Xuan couldn't draw the charm of this portrait, so he had to leave his body, visualize the portrait, and put it into He Yuzhu's Niwan Palace, allowing her to experience the charm on her own.

"Okay." He Yuzhu nodded.

Li Xuan took out the magic formula from the cave space and said: "Relax, I need the soul to connect with your Niwan Palace and pass on the image of the visualization to you."

His brows trembled, and his soul immediately left his body.

at the same time.

He silently ran the "Light Burning Technique", and circles of light wheel swayed, covering He Yuzhu.

Immediately afterwards.

A portrait of an ancient Buddha with a burning lantern appeared in mid-air, then became smaller and smaller, and gradually disappeared into the Niwan Palace between He Yuzhu's eyebrows.

Just when Li Xuan and He Yuzhu's Niwan Palace were connected, they were about to imprint the image of the ancient Buddha into it.

Buzz!

Deep in He Yuzhu's Niwan Palace, a faint mental fluctuation rippled out.

Li Xuan raised his eyebrows and sensed it.

next moment.

His pupils shrank suddenly.

In the depths of He Yuzhu's Niwan Palace, there was an illusory figure shining with a faint golden light, looming.

Even with just a little contact, you can feel the vast and deep aura coming from it, which makes Li Xuan's soul feel a little unstable.

‘What is this, a god? ! ’ Li Xuan only felt his scalp numb.
