The experience of living in the cold palace

Outside the palace.

In a private room of a restaurant.

Li Xuan has transformed into Shen Gongbao and meets Yao Qingshuang.

Yao Qingshuang unfolded the baggage and handed all the materials collected this month to Li Xuan.

"I collected these materials after visiting all major businesses and auctions. I don't know if they are enough for your needs."

Li Xuan looked at the various Lightning Strike Woods and Kui Niu Demon Pills on the baggage, and his eyes lit up slightly: "You did a good job, these are enough for the Sa family to practice."

There were actually more than a dozen pieces of lightning struck wood in front of him, as well as five Kui Niu Demon Pills, which were enough for him to open up the remaining two hundred or so bone orifices!

Next.

All you need to do is practice the "Huangting Thunder Hell Sutra" to perfection, then temper your body with the Heavenly Thunder, and break through to the Grandmaster realm!

"Looking at you, you should be about to reach the master level. This is your reward!"

Li Xuan flicked his finger, and a green pill that exuded rich blood and elixir fragrance landed in front of Yao Qingshuang.

It is the second-grade elixir, Bixue Tianxin Dan!

This is a necessary elixir for Xiantian realm warriors when they break through to the Grandmaster realm.

The market value is almost 10,000 taels per piece.

But they are often priceless and very scarce.

Most recently this month.

Li Xuan's alchemy skills have improved a lot, and he can now refining second-grade elixirs stably!

Giving away a Blue Blood Heavenly Heart Pill is nothing.

"This is the Blue Blood Heavenly Heart Pill, and it is a high-quality pill with three lines of pills!" Yao Qingshuang's beautiful eyes lit up.

Although with her identity and status, it is not too difficult to buy the Blue Blood Tianxin Pill, but it is difficult to buy high-quality pills with pill patterns!

After all, this high-quality elixir is almost as good as a first-grade elixir, and its value is immeasurable.

It was enough to be worth the money she spent on purchasing these materials.

She looked at Li Xuan with a complicated expression: "My life and death are now under your control, so you don't have to give me these."

Li Xuan said: "The Sa family controls you just because they are afraid of trouble. We have a cooperative relationship now. As long as you perform well, it doesn't matter if the Sa family lets you go?"

"Is this true?" Yao Qingshuang's beautiful eyes showed joy.

Li Xuan said calmly: "There is no need for Sajia to lie to you. You can tell Sajia about what happened recently."

"Um."

After Yao Qingshuang received Li Xuan's promise, she felt a little more relaxed and her tone became brighter:

"Nothing happened in the Marquis of Huai'an Mansion that you asked me to pay attention to this month. After the death of Marquis Huai'an's third son, Wang Wenliang, he was hastily buried. The Marquis of Huai'an did not come back to see his son off because he was busy with official duties."

"The Yamen is already involved in investigating this matter, and people from Dongchang even showed up, but the investigation should not produce any results."

Li Xuan picked up the wine glass and took a sip, then narrowed his eyes.

This Marquis of Huai'an was really ruthless. His son died and he didn't even come to see him for the last time.

It seems that the Marquis of Huai'an has been completely parasitized by the demon.

Yao Qingshuang continued: "As for the scientific examination, the results have been released today. The number one winner is Ye Qingzhou from Tianxia Academy, the second place is Bai Pianqing from Baidi Tower, and the third place winner is Zhou Xiaoru, a great scholar from Jinzhou."

Li Xuan nodded slightly, not too surprised by the number one pick.

after all.

While outside the Gongyuan, he had already observed that the articles written by Ye Qingzhou were as elegant as a dragon and had the style of an ancient sage.

It’s not unusual to win the top prize.

but.

Li Xuan didn't expect that the second person on the list would be someone from the Baidi Tower, one of the three holy places.

The Baidi Tower in these three holy places inherits the art of assassination!

Known as the number one assassin in the world.

The reason why the Sui Dynasty before the Qian Dynasty died out so quickly was because of serious land annexation and the deepening conflicts between the court and the people.

The assassination of Baidilou also played a huge factor.

The Emperor of the Sui Dynasty, a ghost-immortal figure, was assassinated by the owner of Baidi Tower.

This also caused the Sui Dynasty to be leaderless, and it soon fell apart, and was eventually overthrown by Yang Hao, the Taizu of the Qian Dynasty!

"Go on." Li Xuan drank the wine in one gulp.

Yao Qingshuang said: "There is also news about Princess Hongying who you asked me to pay attention to. Tomorrow, the royal family, including the crown prince, the third prince Prince Rong, the fifth prince Prince Yin, the eighth prince Prince Bao, and Princess Hongying, etc. Several princesses will be hunting at the royal hunting ground, which is located in the Taizu Mountain behind the imperial city. At that time, disciples from all major sects, sects, and aristocratic families will be invited to participate, including our Bingpo Sect."

"This is also a fixed event after the scientific examination every year. The purpose is naturally to show the royal majesty and win people's hearts at the same time."

"Of course, there will inevitably be some overt and covert fighting at that time."

Li Xuan's eyes moved.

He had heard about this prince and these princes.

Their strength is above the Grandmaster level, and they are expected to become powerful men who can become Grandmasters.

These princes and princes are secretly competing with each other on weekdays to win the next throne.

"Which prince do you, the Ice Soul Sect, support?" Li Xuan couldn't help but ask.

He knew that these princes and princes must have supporting forces behind them.

This can be considered an investment!

Back then, the Xia family invested in the current Emperor Qian, and with the merit of following the dragon, they were able to rank first among the nine great families.

In terms of resources, the Xia family is no longer inferior to the Six Great Dao Sects.

If it weren't for the fact that no martial saint or ghost immortal appeared in the Xia family in recent years, these six great sects would probably not be as good as the Xia family.

Yao Qingshuang said: "Our Bingpo Sect has not taken sides yet, but we have been in contact with the prince and other princes, including Princess Hongying. At present, our sect leader prefers Princess Hongying and has already accepted Princess Hongying as a close disciple. This time, I also received an invitation from Princess Hongying to participate in this royal hunt."

There was a pause.

She continued: "However, the prince and the princes have quite a lot of backers behind them."

"It is rumored that there is an assassin organization under the prince's command, which comes from Baidi Tower, one of the three holy places."

"The third prince, Prince Rong, is a disciple of the inner courtyard of Tianxia Academy. Although he is not a direct descendant of the Master, he still has a close relationship with these academy disciples."

"Although the fifth prince, Prince Yin, rarely shows his influence, there must be top forces behind him."

"The eighth prince, Prince Bao, who is Princess Hongying's brother, also seems to have the support of the Tianlong Sect, one of the Six Great Sects."

"Speaking of which, Princess Hongying is not a trivial matter. She has made use of family connections to form alliances and has made friends with many top forces and aristocratic families. She is a woman who is as good as any other woman. Unfortunately, she is a girl, otherwise she would also be a strong contender for the throne. .”

Li Xuan's eyes flickered slightly as he listened to Yao Qingshuang's story.

It seems that all the major forces in the world have set their sights on Daqian, and they all want to take advantage of the future succession of thrones to obtain enough benefits for themselves.

after all--

Back then, Taizu Ma of Daqian traveled to the world and obtained a lot of rare resources, which was no less than the top forces of the Three Holy Lands.

For example, the Daqian Arsenal contains all the top martial arts and Taoist techniques in the world.

There is also the Daqian Treasure House, which contains rare treasures from all over the world.

Empress Wei was thrown into the cold palace after she stole the magic weapon materials from the Daqian treasure house.

'However, I didn't expect that behind the crown prince and the third prince, there are shadows of the three holy places. I wonder if the three holy places know that the current Qiandi may be parasitized by the demon. ’

‘Nine times out of ten, I don’t know. After all, this matter was done so covertly, and Emperor Qiandi has not made any big moves in the past twenty years. If they don’t know the inside story, no one will think about it. ’

'However, even if they knew, these three holy places would probably not take any action. They are already outside the various countries, and the change of dynasties has nothing to do with them. Even if a dynasty is too powerful, they will be suppressed by them, so even if they know Emperor Qian was parasitized by demons, and they would not interfere. ’

Li Xuan thought quickly in his heart.

After a while.

He looked at Yao Qingshuang and said: "Continue waiting for me in this restaurant tomorrow. I can use your body to see the disciples of the three holy places."

Now, his soul cultivation has reached the possession state.

Already able to distract Yao Qingshuang's soul and control her body to participate in this hunting conference.

In this way, not only can he take advantage of this opportunity to see the strength of the disciples of the three holy places, but he can also trade with Princess Hongying and tell her about the parasitism of the demon.

Kill two birds with one stone.

"Well, I'll wait for you here tomorrow morning."

Although Yao Qingshuang felt a little awkward about someone possessing her body, she couldn't refuse now that Li Xuan had spoken.

"That's it, you go and do your work." Li Xuan said nothing more.

Yao Qingshuang didn't stay long, got up and left the restaurant.

Li Xuan sat at the window on the second floor, watching the people coming and going outside the window, and drank for a while.

After a while.

He then put all the materials on the table to open the cave into the cave space, left the restaurant, and headed straight for the city gate.

soon.

He left the capital, and then ran the "Tiangang Seven Star Steps", his figure flashed, and he flew towards the barren mountains in the distance.

His current speed is far faster than Huoyunma.

It just doesn't last long, it can only run for half an hour at most.

Half an hour later.

Li Xuan stopped using the "Tiangang Seven Star Steps" and simply ran with his body.

Until another quarter of an hour passed.

Only then did a mountain appear in front of Li Xuan's eyes, it was Shituo Mountain.

This place is located in a remote area, hundreds of miles away from the capital. It is the perfect place to re-train the magic weapon.

Even if it causes a slight abnormality, it will not be noticed!

The most important thing is that Shituo Mountain stretches for thousands of miles. Even if you are noticed, you can easily escape by hiding in the mountains.

This may be one of the reasons why Wang Wenwen and the members of the Wu Gu Sect previously set up the meeting place at Shituo Mountain.

‘First refine the Lightning Strike Wood and the Kui Niu Demonic Pill to open up all the bone orifices in one fell swoop, and then refine the Soul-Shattering Knife again! ’

Li Xuan exhaled and dived directly into the Lion Camel Mountain.

After a stick of incense.

Beside a cliff.

Pieces of magical artifacts and magic weapons are placed in various directions, forming a unique magic circle.

Li Xuan held a formation plate in his hand, with his magic power running, he pointed a finger and said: "Get up!"

Buzz——

next moment.

A curtain of light rose up, forming a spherical protective shield, with Li Xuan as the center, covering the area within a hundred steps.

Although this place is located in a remote place, Li Xuan felt that a shielding circle was still necessary to be on the safe side.

Block out the fluctuations caused by the birth of the divine weapon.

after all.

Divine weapons are extremely rare weapons, and even the Grand Master may not be able to possess one.

Its birth will definitely cause strange phenomena in the heaven and earth.

You still have to take precautions.

‘Huh, done, let’s refine the Thunder Strike Wood and Kui Niu Demonic Pill first! ’

Li Xuan took out all the materials for opening the acupoint, then held it in his hand and began to refine the power of thunder inside.

Until a quarter of an hour later.

Boom!

Turbulent energy fluctuations suddenly shot up from Li Xuan's body.

Hitting the shielding array, Ling's light curtain shook violently.

Bursts of roaring sounds, like the sound of heavenly drums, resounded throughout Li Xuan's body.

Immediately afterwards.

Two of the eight singular points in Li Xuan's dantian, which are as thick as a thumb, were opened up again.

A total of ten singular points are distributed in various locations of Qimen, like passages one after another, and I don't know where they are connected.

At the moment when the singularity appears.

Qi Men shook violently again, as if he was about to be pushed away.

However, it was blocked by an invisible force and soon calmed down again.

at the same time.

Wave after wave of pure power fed back along the singularity, making the inner Qi in the Dantian become more powerful and dense!

‘Phew, we only need the final Heavenly Thunder Tempering Body to break through to the Grandmaster realm! ’ Li Xuan let out a sigh of relief.

"Huangting Thunder Hell Sutra" is really not that difficult to practice. With his cheating speed, it took him almost half a year to practice it to perfection.

I really don’t know how Wei Jingzhong managed to perfect the "Huangting Thunder Prison Sutra" in the first place.

after all.

Wei Jingzhong did not have the "Kunpeng Tuna Method", which could repair the damage to the acupoints.

‘Forget it, I’m not the only one who has had adventures. Others must have had adventures too, not to mention a genius like Wei Jingzhong. There’s no need to compare. ’

‘Now, as long as the experience points are accumulated enough, the Huangting Thunder Prison Sutra can be accumulated to the perfect state. At that time, the body can be tempered by the sky thunder and directly break through to the master state. ’

Li Xuan roughly estimated the time and it should be less than twenty days.

When the time comes, the "Huangting Thunder Prison Sutra" will be upgraded to a perfect state, and it will have an additional special power.

Li Xuan is also looking forward to what this power is.

I didn’t think much more about it.

Li Xuan took out a strip-shaped iron box from the cave space.

Opening the iron box, there was actually a shining black liquid flowing inside.

It is the dragon-patterned black gold that was smelted into liquid form by the real fire of the Yin-Yang Mixed Cave!

Even if it turns into a liquid state, there are still special lines on it, resembling a dragon shape.

‘I hope I can succeed in one fell swoop and turn the Soul-Smashing Knife into a magical weapon again! ’

Li Xuan breathed a sigh of relief and took out the soul-breaking knife from the cave space.

One-third of this beheading knife was broken, and its spirituality was greatly lost. Although Li Xuan used his own magic weapon to fill the gap before, the grade was also greatly reduced.

At most, it is in the category of a spiritual weapon, even slightly inferior to a spiritual weapon.

Now, only by incorporating the dragon-marked black gold, which is also the material of a divine weapon, can this soul-breaking knife be revitalized and reach the category of a divine weapon.

Li Xuan breathed a sigh of relief and flicked the soul-crushing knife with one finger.

clang!

The Soul-Shattering Knife smelted the part of the magical weapon, broke it off, and turned into a broken knife again.

Immediately afterwards.

Li Xuan placed the iron box on the ground, and then put the soul-crushing knife into the liquid made of dragon-patterned black gold, completely immersing it in it.

He took a deep breath, pointed at the center of his eyebrow, and a drop of blood suddenly flew out.

Immediately afterwards.

He made a secret with both hands, and the idea that his soul turned into a diamond flew out, wrapping up this bit of blood.

The blood continued to rotate in mid-air, as if forming a unique magic circle.

After a while.

Li Xuancai pointed his finger and poured the thoughts wrapped in blood into the liquid.

This is the blood refining and divine refining method he learned from Empress Wei, which can greatly improve the spirituality of the divine weapon.

And after refining the magic weapon, you can command the magic weapon like an arm and exert its power far beyond that of ordinary magic weapons!

‘Huh, the most critical step has been completed. The next step is to completely smelt the dragon pattern black gold and the soul-breaking knife together! ’

Li Xuan raised his hand, and the surging Yin-Yang Mixed Cave True Fire emerged and fell into the iron box.

Under the wrap of the true fire of the Yin-Yang Mixed Cave.

The liquid formed by the dragon-marked black gold and the broken soul-shattering knife floated out, and then began to be tempered in the real fire!

Ho ho ho——

It seemed like there were bursts of dragon roars coming from it, shaking the world.

As the real fire of the Yin-Yang Hungry Cave burned, the liquid transformed into the dragon-patterned black gold penetrated into the Soul-Smashing Knife bit by bit, and the two gradually merged into one!

A huge amount of energy escaped from it.

An hour later.

Li Xuan took back the true fire of Yin Yang Mixed Cave.

All he could see was a pure black long knife suspended in mid-air.

The blade emitted bursts of dark light, and there seemed to be dragon-shaped lines all over it. The dragon's body was wrapped around the blade, and the dragon's head seemed to have turned into the handle.

Li Xuan concentrated, made a seal in his hand, and a few more drops of blood flew out, with a tiny finger!

Bang bang bang!

Blood rose into the air and fell into the blade.

next moment.

Roar!

A dragon roar that tore through the sky suddenly resounded.

The entire blade suddenly emitted a huge black light, almost turning the entire world into darkness.

Immediately afterwards.

The dragon wrapped around the sword suddenly flew out.

Carrying the earth-shattering power that destroys everything, it soars straight into the sky.

Boom boom boom——

The protective formation was filled with cracks in an instant, and then shattered.

This divine dragon soared and wreaked havoc, turning all space into darkness wherever it passed.

‘Such a powerful power, my magic circle can’t even trap such a vision. ’

Li Xuan frowned, raised his hand, and his inner energy surged.

Instant Kungfu.

He felt an inexplicable connection with the long sword, as if the long sword had turned into a part of his body.

"return."

Li Xuan raised his hand and made a move, and the dragon in mid-air fell back into the black long knife, and then turned into a black stream of light and fell into Li Xuan's hand.

Feeling the heavy power coming from his hand, Li Xuan's eyes suddenly lit up.

The soul-breaking knife in front of him has been completely integrated with the dragon-patterned black gold, transforming into a divine weapon again.

Although it still looks like a decapitation knife, the blade is no longer pitch black, but has a dragon-shaped pattern, emitting powerful energy fluctuations.

Holding his hand on it, it seemed as if it was bitten by a dragon's head, completely integrated with the soul-breaking knife!

Li Xuan waved his hand.

Zheng!

A sword cry resounded, and the black crescent-shaped sword energy slashed out instantly.

Like a divine dragon waving its tail, wherever it passed, ancient trees exploded instantly and turned into powder.

at the same time.

The front suddenly darkened, as if being swallowed by darkness.

'It's so strong, its power has increased more than ten times. Even with my current strength, I can't fully unleash the power of this long sword. I'm afraid I have to reach the level of a martial saint to fully mobilize the power of the long sword. ! ’

'Moreover, after this long knife is slashed out, it can turn the front into darkness and deprive others of their vision. It is simply incredible! ’

‘Not only does it retain the power of the soul-crushing knife, but it is also smelted with the power of dragon-marked black gold. It’s simply perfect! ’

Li Xuan grinned.

If he were to hold this soul-crushing knife now and fight against the demon from before.

When the devil used the devil's dance again, he could break it directly with the soul-crushing knife in his hand, without using any means.

‘This divine weapon was born and caused a big stir. It’s better to leave first and study it slowly after returning to the cold palace. ’

Li Xuan was about to put away the new soul-crushing knife when his eyes suddenly flashed.

Chunyang Taoist soul gave birth to bursts of light, and a dangerous aura swept through his body in an instant!

"Um?!"

Li Xuan's eyebrows suddenly raised, and without saying a word, he raised the soul-crushing knife in his hand and slashed at a stone not far away!

Boom!

The sword energy was unparalleled, and it struck the stone, instantly shattering it into pieces.

next moment.

A figure burst out and flickered to the side, its whole body shining with a faint white light.

His whole body was covered in white light, making it difficult to see his true appearance. Even his body was constantly twisting, as if he had turned into countless afterimages, which were unpredictable.

"How did you discover me? With my stealth skills, even the great master may not have discovered it."

This man's voice was also erratic. He was standing not far from Li Xuan, but it made people feel that he was far away, which was very magical.

Li Xuan looked at the man in front of him and narrowed his eyes: "Your Excellency, why are you hiding aside and trying to attack me?!"

Just now, if it weren't for Chunyang Daohun's foreknowledge of danger, he might not have been able to sense the existence of this person.

In the prediction, this person's attack was extremely fierce, almost posing a fatal threat to him.

Otherwise, the Chunyang Taoist soul would not have triggered the flash of thought, and would have known the danger in advance.

"Treasures are naturally obtained by those who are capable. If you can't guard this magic weapon, it will naturally belong to me." The man's ethereal voice came, "However, I didn't expect that your spiritual sense is so keen that you can see through my Assassination, the way of an assassin is to hit it with one hit. Now that you have reacted, let me leave this magic weapon here for now, and let me pick it up later."

Just finished.

His figure turned into a white light, and then formed a series of afterimages, which actually blended into the surrounding environment and disappeared completely.

Li Xuan held the soul-crushing knife but did not make a move.

The guy in front of me has extremely weird skills.

For a while, it is estimated that it will be really difficult to deal with him. If he provokes other people, it will be troublesome.

‘This person is most likely from Baidi Tower. Only this kind of holy place can have such a weird assassination method. Huh, I will take note of this hatred for the time being. Don’t fall into my hands in the future! ’ Li Xuan narrowed his eyes.

He had already dropped Luoxiang powder on this person just now, and when he touches it later, he will be able to sense it.

Didn't think much more about it.

Li Xuan moved and returned to the palace.

An hour later.

Li Xuan returned to Leng Palace, and then went straight to the palace of Empress Wei Yan, preparing to ask her how to cultivate the magic weapon.

Now that the refining of the magic weapon has been completed, the next step is to slowly cultivate it to increase the power of the magic weapon.

In this regard, Empress Wei, as a master of weapon refining, must be more familiar with it than herself.

However.

As soon as Li Xuan arrived at Empress Wei's palace, he heard Empress Wei's ecstatic laughter coming from the bedroom.

"It's done, haha, I'm done!"

ps: Please order and recommend monthly tickets~

I went to attend a classmate's wedding today. I drank some wine. I was dizzy and a little stuck. It was even slower. I'm sorry. It's a two-in-one today. I'll update it as soon as I finish the outline.
