The experience of living in the cold palace

Inside the east factory.

The factory guards were patrolling back and forth. When they saw Li Xuan, they did not stop him. Instead, they saluted respectfully.

Although Li Xuan is now working as an errand in the cold palace and as the general manager, his position in the East Factory is also a junior one.

Although it was in name only, this position was bestowed upon him by factory director Wei Jingzhong, and no one dared not accept it.

not to mention.

Li Xuan also had good relations with Zhao Hao and Zhang Dafu, both of whom were now promoted to deacons by Wei Jingzhong.

Naturally, no one would come to bring bad luck to Li Xuan.

"Eunuch Qiu, are Eunuch Zhao and Eunuch Zhang here?" Li Xuan found a patrol stall and asked.

Seeing Li Xuan at this stall, he smiled and said, "It turns out to be Eunuch Li. It's really an unlucky time for you to come. Deacon Zhao and Deacon Zhang seem to be on a mission and have gone out."

He was not surprised that Li Xuanda came to Dongchang at night.

Because on weekdays, Li Xuan would occasionally come to Dongchang to have a drink with Eunuch Zhao.

"That's it..."

Li Xuan thought for a while, took out three bottles of elixirs from his arms, two large and one small, and handed them to Eunuch Qiu:

"These two large medicine bottles are the elixirs that Eunuch Zhao and Eunuch Zhang asked me to refine. When they come back, I will trouble Eunuch Qiu to give them to them. There is also a small bottle with three extra fifth-grade elixirs that I refined. I happened to have no need for the medicine, so I gave it to Eunuch Qiu."

Eunuch Qiu's eyes lit up slightly, he put the medicine bottle away and said:

"How embarrassing."

Li Xuan smiled: "It's nothing. Eunuch Qiu is working hard on the night shift, so I won't disturb him any more. I'll take my leave."

The total value of the elixirs he gave to Eunuch Qiu was about 150 taels.

To him, this was nothing, but to Eunuch Qiu, it was a windfall.

On weekdays, in order to build a good relationship with the factory guards in the East Factory, he would occasionally help them refine some elixirs and would also give some away for free.

This will also help him to detect information so that he can report to the Queen.

otherwise.

It was impossible for him to win the Queen's trust so quickly and become her right-hand man.

"Thank you very much, Eunuch Li. I will wait for Eunuch Zhao and the others to come back another day. I will be the host and treat Eunuch Li to a drink." Eunuch Qiu said with a smile.

He knew that the Eunuch Li in front of him was not only the general manager of Leng Palace, but also a senior official in Dongchang.

More importantly, he is also an alchemy master who can refine third-grade elixirs.

These three fifth-grade elixirs were nothing to the Eunuch Li in front of him.

Naturally, he would not be polite.

Although this is suspected of accepting bribes, who has a clean butt when working in the palace?

Harmony with light and dust is the way to survive in the palace!

Li Xuan nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll be waiting."

He didn't stay long and turned around to leave.

Above a loft in the East Factory.

Wei Jingzhong stood with his hands behind his back and stared at Li Xuan in the distance for a while, then slowly looked back.

Next to him, there was a woman wearing black clothes and half a mask.

This woman has unruly short hair that reaches her ears, and her skin is a healthy wheat color.

She had a high-spirited aura and stood next to Wei Jingzhong. She did not look inferior in the slightest. On the contrary, she had the aura to surpass Wei Jingzhong.

"Your eyes have been on this eunuch for more than three breaths. Why, is he so special that he deserves the attention of the strategizing Inspector Wei?" the woman said.

Her voice was soft, but there was an edge to it.

It seems like she can suppress everything in the world and all voices that oppose her!

Wei Jingzhong said calmly: "It only took him just one year to go from a handyman eunuch to the current chief manager of the Cold Palace. A year ago, he had not even succeeded in refining meat, but now he is already a Xiantian realm warrior. Moreover, he seems to be a practitioner of both magic and martial arts, and I don’t know how far he has reached the realm of soul."

"Really? Although this cultivation speed is very good, it probably doesn't deserve your attention. It's not like there are geniuses from those sects and aristocratic families who have reached the innate realm in just half a year or even a few months." The woman said calmly. .

Wei Jingzhong said: "I'm afraid he has more than this ability."

"Oh? You mean he hid his strength. In that case, why not just capture him and find out what's going on?" the woman said directly.

Wei Jingzhong shook his head: "I have investigated him secretly, and there is nothing wrong with him. He has nothing to do with the devil. Since he doesn't want to show up, I don't have to be the evil person to expose him. He is so talented and talented. There are not many people in the palace who like to hide their clumsiness. As long as he keeps to himself, let him be. The war is about to break out right now, so there is no need to stir up trouble."

There was a pause.

He continued: "Of course, I will meet with him alone before the war."

"When are you going to take action?" the woman couldn't help but ask.

Wei Jingzhong looked calm and said: "It's the end of the year."

"Then there are only three months left. Are you sure?" The woman raised her eyebrows.

Wei Jingzhong said: "I will handle the palace side, the Xia family in Zhongzhou, Wu Shengtian will handle it, and the most important thing is your Demon Suppressing Division. Once the emperor activates the grand formation, the evil spirits everywhere will start to wreak havoc, and you need your Demon Suppressing Division to suppress it. , these three months should be enough for you to prepare, I don’t want Daqian to fall into huge turmoil because of this matter.”

"Don't worry. With your help in these years, the Demon Suppressing Division has gained a lot more masters. There are also law cultivators guarding the corpse realm in every state. Although they are not as good as Zhang Cunxing, they can still deal with ordinary demons." The woman said, "After I deal with the Huai'an Marquis Wang Qinghou, I will naturally go to various places to control the situation, and I will not let some remnants of the previous dynasty and aristocratic families take advantage of me."

There was a pause.

She continued: "Do you really have to bear the charge of regicide? With your achievements over the years, you could have gone down in history."

Wei Jingzhong raised his head and looked up at the stars and said calmly: "Some things have to be done by someone, and I am the most suitable one. As for reputation, what does it mean compared to the lives of tens of millions of Li people? "

…

Li Xuan returned to the Leng Palace courtyard and breathed a sigh of relief.

There was no noise at the palace gate just now, which meant that Empress Xiao had successfully escaped from the palace.

He has already told Empress Xiao the location of the courtyard outside his palace. After making some preparations, he can leave the palace to meet Empress Xiao, and then plan the ghost-immortal power deep in He Yuzhuniwan Palace!

'Don't worry, I'll wait until the Liangyi Magnetic Pole Sacred Tree takes root and sprouts to see if I can practice the "Eternal Magnetic Immortal Body" before leaving the palace. ’

Li Xuan has made an appointment with Empress Xiao and will leave the palace to meet her within half a month at the latest, which is not less than a day or two.

Take care of your own affairs first, then get down to business!

The next day.

Early in the morning.

The eunuch who delivered breakfast came to Empress Xiao's palace and found that Empress Xiao had disappeared as expected.

The eunuch was frightened to death and quickly informed Meng Hu, the steward, and then Meng Hu found the general manager, Eunuch Chen.

Eunuch Chen immediately gathered his men and started searching in the cold palace. After searching for a long time with no results, he finally reached Li Xuan.

Li Xuan was naturally prepared. He followed Eunuch Chen to Empress Xiao's palace and asked in a pretentious manner:

"When did you find out that Madam Xiao was missing?"

The eunuch who delivered breakfast quickly knelt down and trembled:

"Go back to the Chief Manager. Last night when I delivered dinner, Madam Xiao was still there. When I came to deliver breakfast this morning, Madam Xiao disappeared."

Several other maids also knelt on the ground, trembling with fear.

"Master, please forgive me. We were on duty last night and did not see Empress Xiao come out of the palace. I dare not hide anything."

"Yes, Chief Steward, the slaves don't even know that Madam Xiao has left."

The empress, who was imprisoned in the cold palace, suddenly disappeared.

They were still on duty that night. If they were to be held accountable, they would definitely not be able to escape punishment. They might be arrested as accomplices by the Criminal Punishment Department!

Therefore, each of them is extremely panicked now.

Eunuch Chen said from the side: "As the former saint of the Randen Sect, Empress Xiao must have some special means to restore her strength. The top priority right now is to contact the imperial guards, search the imperial city, and then notify the empress." , explain this matter clearly and let’s see how the Queen makes decisions.”

As expected of him, he had been working in the cold palace for many years. Even in the face of such changes, he was not too panicked.

Li Xuan nodded slightly: "Well, don't make any announcement about this in advance. I will report it to the Queen to see how the Queen handles this matter."

This matter will definitely reach the Queen’s ears soon.

Rather than letting the Queen come to him, it would be better to explain this matter himself.

Did not stay any longer.

Li Xuan left Leng Palace and went straight to Kunning Palace.

After a stick of incense.

Li Xuan came to Kunning Palace.

With his current status, he naturally arrived in the hall quickly without any communication.

now.

The Queen is sitting in the main hall drinking tea.

Beside her, there was a man wearing a purple gold crown and a python robe, it was Prince Yang Guan.

Li Xuan saluted and said, "I have met the Queen, and I have met His Highness the Crown Prince."

Queen Xia's face looked a little haggard, even if she applied rouge and gouache, she couldn't hide it.

She knew that Li Xuan must have something to report, so she waved her hand and dismissed all the eunuchs and maids serving in the palace, and then said:

"Xiao Xuanzi, why are you here in such a hurry so early in the morning?"

Li Xuan glanced at the prince and said nothing.

This guy with a love addiction is somewhat hostile to him. If he hears about Empress Xiao's disappearance, he might take the opportunity to make things difficult for him.

The prince snorted coldly: "It seems that you haven't recognized your identity yet. Is there anything you can't say in front of me?"

Queen Xia also said: "Xiao Xuanzi, the prince is not an outsider. I plan to let you assist the prince in the future. If you have any questions, you can speak directly."

When Li Xuan saw that the Empress had expressed her stance, he said, "Empress, a small crime deserves death. The poor guard allowed Empress Xiao to escape from the cold palace."

Queen Xia raised her eyebrows: "You mean, Xiao Yourong ran away?!"

"Yes, the eunuch who delivered breakfast this morning found that Empress Xiao was not in the palace, and then notified the young lady here. The young lady searched the cold palace and found no trace of Madam Xiao, so she hurriedly came to notify you."

The prince frowned:

"You are such a waste. You knew clearly that Xiao Yourong was a saint from the Burning Deng Sect in the past, but you still didn't step up your guard. You waited for others to run away before you came to find your mother. I see you as the chief manager of the cold palace, so don't be a leader! "

What a crazy fetish...Li Xuan cursed secretly in his heart and remained silent.

empress It may not be discovered by the great master or the cultivators in the corpse realm. Relying on a few maids on duty is really not of much use. I can’t blame you for this."

When the prince saw that Queen Xia was so partial to Li Xuan, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows:

"If you had listened to me and destroyed Xiao Yourong's Dantian and Niwan Palace, nothing like what happened today would have happened. Xiao Xuanzi is also responsible for this matter. If he had asked the palace maid to do it every other night At this time, if you go to the palace and take a look, you can find out that Xiao Yourong has escaped as soon as possible!"

Queen Xia shook her head: "If Xiao Yourong really regains his strength, I'm afraid he will also use magic circles to create illusions and deceive these palace ladies. Since Xiao Yourong has run away, let the imperial guards search the imperial city. For a moment, then contact Zhang Cunxing and see if he has discovered anything through his stargazing mirror. After all, it is difficult for everyone who enters and leaves the palace to hide it from his eyes and ears."

There was a pause.

She looked at Li Xuan and said, "Although this kind of thing doesn't have much to do with you, after all, Xiao Yourong ran away under your hands. You can't escape the blame, so I'll deduct three months of your salary. "

"Thank you for punishing me."

Li Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that the Queen's situation was finally over.

Queen Xia waved her hand: "Well, step back."

Li Xuan then bowed and left.

Wait until Li Xuan leaves.

The prince frowned and said, "Mother, are you too tolerant of this little eunuch?"

Queen Xia raised her eyebrows and said: "I am helping you train reliable subordinates. This little Xuanzi is smart and can help you with many things in the future if you use it well. When you ascend the throne and become the emperor, there must always be someone around you who can be used." Man, this man is thoughtful and prudent, no worse than Wei Jingzhong."

"Just him? Can he compare with Wei Jingzhong?!" The prince said with disdain.

Queen Xia sighed: "Although he is not as good as Wei Jingzhong now, he may not be so good in the future. Helping him in times of need is naturally better than adding icing on the cake. If you give him a favor now, you may receive double the rewards in the future. If you want to be an emperor, you must also be useful. , when will you change your attitude of doing things based on your own preferences?"

The prince frowned: "I just can't bear to see him being so flattering to you!"

Queen Xia shook her head: "Let's not talk about Xiao Xuanzi. During this period, you have established a good relationship with Baidilou. Soon, there may be changes in the palace. At that time, you will be able to show off your talents. when."

"Yes, I will follow my mother's teachings." The prince nodded.

…

‘This matter has been dealt with in a blur, but we can’t be careless. In the next few days, it is estimated that people from the Imperial Guard, the Criminal Division, and even the Star Gazing Pavilion will come to inquire, so we have to deal with it properly. ’

Li Xuan returned to his yard.

The next few days.

Sure enough, as Li Xuan expected, the leaders of the Imperial Guard and people from the Shenxing Department came to ask questions.

Li Xuan naturally responded cooperatively.

However, this matter is destined to have no result.

Queen Xia didn't want the matter to get too big, so she conducted a symbolic search of the palace for a few days, and then doubled the martial law in the Leng Palace, and the matter came to an end.

Three days later.

In Li Xuan's backyard.

He looked at the magnetic mud in front of him and frowned slightly.

at the moment.

These two magnetic pole sacred tree species have been planted for eight days.

Logically speaking, it should be taking root and sprouting, but now there is no movement at all.

‘Is it because there are not enough nutrients to support the growth of this tree? ! ’ Li Xuan raised his eyebrows, ‘Then water it again! ’

These days, he has watered it with magic weapon materials several times, and all of them have been absorbed by the seeds.

Proving that this kind of seed is indeed alive and not dead.

Since you have already invested everything, there is no reason to give up halfway!

Li Xuan took out pieces of magic weapon materials from the cave space, then ran the Yin-Yang Mixed Cave True Fire and burned it crazily.

Not long after.

These magic weapon materials turned into liquid, and were then controlled by Li Xuan to pour into the area where the seeds were buried.

Buzz!

There were weak fluctuations coming from the ground, and all the magic weapon materials were integrated into the ground.

It's a pity that the seeds under the ground still haven't broken out of the ground.

‘Damn, I finally understand the mind of a gambler, he will lose everything in the end! ’

Li Xuan looked at the empty soil and couldn't help gritting his teeth, his eyes showing unwillingness.

After working hard for so long, I got nothing, which makes everyone feel uncomfortable!

Suddenly.

Li Xuan seemed to have thought of something, gritted his teeth and said: "I can only treat a dead horse as a live doctor!"

He immediately mobilized his true energy, then directly activated "Speech and Dharma Sui" and said sternly:

"Give me roots!"

Buzz!

In an instant.

It was as if the powerful energy from another space poured into the ground.

next moment.

Dong dong dong——

A sound like a drum echoed.

The magnetic mud actually bulged into a small bag, and then a black bud grew out of the pile of mud.

‘I’ll go, it’s really useful! ’

Li Xuan's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Speech and Dharma Sui" can promote birth, and it also has a miraculous effect on these two magnetic pole sacred trees.

He immediately ran "Speech and Dharma Suit" again and said: "Grow up quickly!"

Buzz!

The buds actually grew taller and taller, turning from buds into the shape of bamboo.

only.

After Li Xuan exhausted all his energy, he could only make the tree grow about half an inch taller.

I don't know how long it will take for this tree species to grow to a mature state of two to three meters high.

After all, if he wants to recover after his energy is exhausted, it will take a full day to fully recover without the help of pills.

'It seems that this "Speech and Dharma Sui" can only be used as an auxiliary. However, as long as I take drugs like crazy to restore my true energy, it can also greatly speed up the growth of the two magnetic pole sacred trees! ’

Li Xuan was not too disappointed.

for the rest of the time.

He used magic materials to irrigate the two magnetic pole sacred trees every day, and then combined with the "Speech and Dharma Sui" to make them grow crazily.

In just five or six days, it grew to almost two feet tall.

Li Xuan stretched out his hand to touch the Liangyi Magnetic Pole Sacred Tree, and then activated the method of "Eternal Magnetic Immortal Body". He could clearly feel that a magnetic force surged out from the black ancient tree and submerged into him. body of!

Then, after transformation, it becomes a more special magnet and blends into the blood.

next moment.

Li Xuan discovered that "Eternal Magnetic Immortal Body" appeared on the panel, showing that it was not yet started (0/3000).

Without any hesitation, he added the experience value, and then the progress became entry level (0/30000).

‘Good fellow, this is indeed the most powerful blood-transforming technique, and the experience points required are no less than the magical skills! ’ Li Xuan frowned.

Fortunately, he is now accumulating martial arts experience very quickly, and he can gain a little more potential points every twenty days, which increases his training speed.

In about two months, he should be able to cultivate this "Eternal Magnetic Immortal Body" to a perfect state.

By then, I will have almost completed the exchange of blood, and I can start breaking through the sky and break through to the Grand Master!

'The training matters are almost done. The next step is to create new sword techniques and practice the powerful Taoist technique of "God's Curse"! ’ Li Xuan started planning silently.

He planned to start practicing this "Divine Curse" first, and then join Empress Xiao to refine the power of ghosts and immortals.

When the time comes, if this ghost fairy really does something strange, he will have one more way to deal with it.

…

Beijing.

In a dark palace.

One after another, ethereal figures suddenly appeared.

Dark and eerie sounds came from their mouths.

"There was some weak reaction in the astrolabe just now, which proves that the traitor's reincarnated body is in the capital."

"When he is about to wake up, this astrolabe will provide guidance. When the time comes, we will go there immediately. Before he wakes up, we will directly use the soul-suppressing stone to suppress him, and then work together to refine him."

"This guy has taken the inheritance of the highest secret method from our "White Emperor Tower". This secret method must not be leaked out!"

After each voice sounded, they quickly disappeared, as if they were completely integrated into the darkness.
