Chapter 232 The Empress Dowager and the Master

If you are looking for fish in Linyuan, it is better to retreat and make a net.

It is better to teach people how to fish than to teach people how to fish.

Weaving nets is a step of teaching fish, and they are all things after "Linyuan". This is the origin of the name of the five-star quenching Linyuan formation, which also means that this formation does not directly improve martial arts cultivation, but improves the efficiency of future cultivation, so that people can reach a higher level by themselves.

"Number one rank-nine master in the world? Isn't that a bit too powerful?" Qin Shouan's understanding was a bit off, because all he experienced in the "Hidden Moon Pond" were ecstasy scenes. It seemed that whenever he thought of this place, the image that popped up in his mind was Zhu Bajie jumping into the pool where the spider spirits bathed.

Once people just indulge in these things, their IQ will drop, and many people often start to have inattention, energy decline, memory loss and so on after long-term and frequent self-solve.

Qin Shouan wasn't so good, but when he was thinking about a problem, he would be a little less witty because he was attracted by those things, and it was easy to misunderstand.

"No." Rehua Mei smiled softly. His Highness is always smart and quick-witted. Occasionally being stupid will only make people feel especially cute. "It means that it can make your future cultivation path smoother and faster than anyone else."

It turned out to be like this, that is to say, give him a cheat, this cheat will not directly improve his strength, but it will make his strength grow faster than anyone else.

"Okay, then I'll trouble you all." Qin Shouan understood, of course he was willing. Who would dislike his cultivation speed being too slow?

As for being frank with the teachers and sisters of Riyue Mountain again, it didn't make him particularly eager to move, but it just gave birth to some aftertaste. After all, the mountain lord had already given birth to the child. I thought that the night when everyone worked together would never happen again, so being honest with each other in the hidden moon pool was a small commemoration of reliving old dreams.

Chong Huamei immediately went to make arrangements. The empress dowager felt that if she did not participate in such an occasion, Qin Shouan would definitely doubt her identity as the mountain lord, so she also wanted to be there.

Chong Huamei originally wanted to say that even though she didn't need to cultivate for dozens of days like ordinary women, it was better to follow the traditional concept of health preservation, don't go out, don't blow in the wind, etc., but the queen mother came up with the reason that she might not have enough milk, and later the sheep would cry and there was no one around, which made it difficult for Chong Huamei to persuade her.

So the empress dowager, who was wrapped tightly, was sent to Cangyuechi in a sedan chair, so that she could witness Qin Shouan's breakthrough with her own eyes, and other people began to prepare.

Qin Shouan originally thought that he was sitting in the middle, and then others stretched out their palms to press him, but it turned out to be not so simple... Fortunately, everyone really needs to wear as light and light as possible.

It wasn't completely naked, but it was the same as when he passed out in Ji Jing Zhao Jian nunnery last time, and then received the treatment of the masters and wives in the bath. They were still wearing thin and nothing-like bathrobes, which made Qin Shouan dizzy and felt as if he was in a fairyland.

It’s just that Yang Baa’s mother was lying on the edge of the bathing pool with Yang Baa in her arms, with a serious expression on her face. She was probably watching the preparations for the five-star quenching Linyuan formation.

Fortunately for Qin Shouan, the Lord of the Mountain used love for him after all, otherwise, with her relationship with the empress dowager, and at the same time, she may also undertake some reporting tasks, as long as she tells the empress dowager about his indulgence in matters of men and women these days, I am afraid that he will go to northern Xinjiang to fight against the barbarians like King Mighty.

Of course, after these days of "brainwashing", he was a little convinced that Rong Yuetu would treat King Mighty like that. There might be some other inside story, but it didn't have much to do with him, and he didn't just inquire about it.

He noticed that Chonghuamei was cleaning the edge of Tibetan Moon Pool with a brush made of a special herb.

The stones on the edge of the hidden bathing pool are of different sizes, but they are obviously cut according to the needs of inlaying. Each piece is tightly seamed, and no extra fragments of stones or other materials are used to fill it. It looks like a large pool is carved out of the center of a huge stone.

During the previous two visits to Zangyue Lake, Qin Shouan was completely attracted by the enchanting and charming teachers and female officials, so it was naturally impossible to carefully observe the surrounding stone slabs.

After Chonghuamei cleaned it with a brush, Qin Shouan discovered that there were complicated talismans on the stone slabs, occasionally interspersed with a few ancient characters exuding primitive charm, densely surrounding the hidden moon pool.

After everyone brushed it with the same method, Qin Shouan's relaxed and casual posture just now was also swept away. He stared dumbfounded at the entire floor of the bath, which was almost covered with these symbols. Only then did he truly realize that this five-star quenching and facing the abyss formation was not just a simple matter of them being honest with him for a while.

"The water in the hidden moon pool contains spiritual energy, and this large formation can even attract the spiritual energy in the Kunlun Mountains. The spiritual energy is the key to further washing your marrow and tempering your body when you break through."

The Empress Dowager took the opportunity to express some remarks that Qin Shouan did not know about, otherwise she, the "mountain lord", would have kept silent and taciturn at critical moments related to Qin Shouan's cultivation, and something was unavoidably wrong.

If she had always been noble, glamorous, inhuman, indifferent, and alienated, it would not have aroused suspicion, but recently she has been acting uncontrollably to be particularly clingy to Qin Shouan, then something has to be said.

In fact, according to the original plan, she won't have too many bonds and connections with him in the near future, and she doesn't need to care whether he doubts her true identity, but now she has a daughter... After the empress dowager finished speaking, she lowered her head and looked at her baby girl tenderly. Should I thank her for coming?

If it's a son, she doesn't seem to have any reason to...

"No—I feel something is wrong." Qin Shouan had already soaked in the hidden moon pool, redrawing Meihe Wanhe, Yiyun, Wangyue, and Yutuan, but they were still busy. After they made the patterned runes appear, they began to sprinkle some powder on them.

"Aura? I'm practicing martial arts. Why do I feel like I'm cultivating immortals now?" Qin Shouan looked at the situation, and it seemed that something was wrong. It seemed that he was about to come into contact with some truths of the world that could subvert his cognition.

His understanding of spiritual energy was originally because of Yaotian.

Qin Heng was the first to find medicinal fields containing aura in the depths of the Kunlun Mountains. These medicinal fields can produce very precious herbs, which are very important to those who practice martial arts. It can be said that having a large medicinal field to provide the daily needs of the sect with rare medicinal herbs is the goal of all sects in the world at all costs.

Through these medicine fields, the Kyushu government's control over the great sects of Jianghu was further strengthened, instead of just relying on the deterrence of the imperial court.

In addition, it means that it is more comfortable to meditate in a place with abundant aura, but no one said that it can absorb aura to enhance strength or greatly increase the speed of cultivation.

In front of them, repainting Mei and the others, the use of aura may exceed Qin Shouan's previous cognition.

"Life in heaven and earth is a creature formed by gathering aura. It's just that the seven orifices of life communicate with the outside world. The innate aura gradually dissipates, and more damage and defects appear in the body. The five-star quenching body is facing the abyss. The formation is just using the aura of heaven and earth to repair these damages and defects." The empress dowager smiled slightly, "Cultivation of immortality is not so simple."

"So that's how it is." Qin Shouan has been walking on the broad road since he practiced martial arts, step by step and at the same time step by step. Under the guidance of his master, he doesn't need to explore anything by himself. The knowledge based on this kind of cultivation theory is far behind that of a great master like Shanzhu.

"But this battle is indeed a bit big... Tiandao Sect doesn't seem to have such a magic formation for washing the marrow and tempering the body." Qin Shouan didn't hear from his master, maybe it was because he was far from breaking through when he followed the master, so the master didn't tell him early, or did the Tiandao Sect not have such a formation?

The disciples of Riyue Mountain seemed to be able to learn everything. Qin Shouan hadn't had much contact with the disciples of Riyue Mountain, and he was already dazzled by their versatility.

In addition to the martial arts and martial arts of Riyue Mountain, they also study the Heart Sutra of Buddhism. At the same time, they have advanced medical books. They can go to the city to save sentient beings, and they can also deliver babies for the mountain owner.

Arrays are very mysterious. There are very few sects who study arrays in the Jianghu, and there are a few masters among them, but Qin Shouan has never come into contact with them, but Master disapprovingly mentioned that he once met a famous master of arrays and was accidentally killed by her.

Therefore, Qin Shouan was a bit disapproving of the formation at first, but the vast and exquisite formation process in front of him changed Qin Shouan's opinion. This five-star quenching Linyuan formation is definitely not something that "masters" with half a bucket of water in the world can come into contact with.

"The study of formations requires a lot of manpower, especially the number of core disciples. Tiandaomen pays more attention to the cultivation of disciples, but they are few but refined. Take your master Jiang Hongshu as an example, he is invincible in all corners of the world. But if you want the Tiandaomen to send a group of disciples to arrange this five-star quenching and facing the deep formation, it will be very difficult for the Daomen.

After the Queen Mother finished speaking, she couldn't help smiling. Riyue Mountain followed the path of practice in the world. What many disciples learned was naturally mixed and contained many subtleties in the world, but Tiandaomen really meant "cultivating immortals". Taking Jiang Hongshu as an example, isn't it just like a fairy?
Thinking of Jiang Hongshu, the Empress Dowager couldn't help but think of the nonsense that Heiji and Baiji talked about at breakfast the next day after that night in Huiyin Changyinchi. It seemed that Jiang Hongshu was what Qin Shouan really liked?

There is no doubt that Hei Ji and Bai Ji are talking nonsense most of the time.

But why do they like to talk nonsense so much? The Empress Dowager still chooses to let them pass on news and report back what she has learned, and sometimes she will hold back a lot of emotions and let them speak nonsense.

Because for the empress dowager who sits behind the dragon chair and listens to the government behind the curtain, she is not afraid of someone talking nonsense in front of her, but she is afraid that the channels for her to get news will be completely controlled and deliberately screened, so that she can only hear what others want her to hear, so that she can only know what is suitable for her.

Although there is no such person who can completely control her news channels, she is used to planning ahead.

The words and deeds of Hei Ji and Bai Ji are unpredictable, so they are also difficult to control... This is one of the real reasons why the Empress Dowager did not drive them back to Riyue Mountain.

Look at them, they are obviously the female officials in the palace, but they still lead the fate of the empress dowager to accept Tang Wanrong's dispatch, but they actually put aside their duties and did not get any orders from the empress dowager, so they arbitrarily proposed to go to the Kyushu government to be Qin Shouan's "right-hand man".

Are they really Qin Shouan's right-hand man now?Of course not, because they didn't even listen to Qin Shouan's words, and followed them to Ji Jing Zhao Jian Nunnery without authorization.

That is to say, Bai Ji thinks that Qin Shouan's real lover is Jiang Hongshu, and it's definitely not information that others want the Queen Mother to know, but some clues.

So the Empress Dowager asked casually: "His Royal Highness, Master Jiang Fairy..."

The empress dowager glanced at the pond, but unfortunately it was filled with fog, and Qin Shouan couldn't see his expression when he heard his master was mentioned, so she could only continue to say, "She should be prepared for you when you want to break through to the ninth rank. Even if it's not the five-star tempered body facing the abyss grand formation, she will carefully collect some panacea and other such things?"

Riyue Mountain has Guanghan Toad Palace Pill, and Tiandaomen also has its own secret medicine at the bottom of the box. As for the efficacy of those secret medicines, the Empress Dowager has no way of knowing, after all, she is not from the world.

She just took the opportunity to figure out the relationship between the two through the details of Jiang Hongshu's treatment of his apprentice.

"No... my master said that she herself is an elixir that can help me break through to a great master in the future." Qin Shouan still remembers the way master said it lightly when he mentioned it, as if she would definitely be able to make Qin Shouan a great master... In fact, she herself was not.

Although Qin Shouan respects and loves Master, Master and Shanzhu are completely different.

The Lord of the Mountain has a broad mind, gentle yet majestic and powerful. Even though she is weak and submissive when she is in love with him, she can actually give people unparalleled confidence and control. It seems that there are not many things she can't do in this world.

What about Master?
It's hard to say... She would have accidents from time to time, exhausting her whole body's true energy. At this time, she would only rely on Qin Shouan to take care and protect her, turning into a weak woman with no power to restrain her.
-
It's late, sorry.
