The experience of living in the cold palace

"So, people, you still have to go out often and gain experience. If you stay in the cold palace every day, your strength and knowledge will not improve much." Empress Xiao secretly nodded at Li Xuan.

Li Xuan smiled apologetically and said, "So I'm here to ask for advice from your Majesty. Your Majesty is well-informed. Even if I go out ten times or a hundred times, it would be better to come here to listen to you once."

"Glib talk." Madam Xiao rolled her eyes, she was used to Li Xuan's shamelessness, "You said that because you want me to stay in the cold palace forever, right?"

Li Xuan hurriedly said: "Where is your Majesty? I naturally think that one day I will be able to escape from this cage and soar into the sky like a phoenix, but this will not delay me from asking your Majesty for advice."

"Huh, you are really a ghost. You are right no matter what." Empress Xiao pursed her red lips, "Then let me ask you, if one day I need your help to leave the cold palace, will you help? "

"I will go through fire and water for my empress, even if I die!" Li Xuan said without hesitation.

Immediately.

He added in his mind: 'You can go through fire and water, but if your life is really in danger, then you can only be grateful and insensitive. '

Empress Xiao smiled sweetly: "I will remember these words. Don't deny it when the time comes."

Paused.

She then stopped smiling and answered Li Xuan's question: "Martial saints who practice both magic and martial arts naturally exist, but it is very difficult to cross the threshold of Tianguan. At least throughout the ages, few people have been able to do it. .”

"However, if you can do it, the future will be smooth. Not only will your longevity be greatly increased, but your chances of successfully refining the Fate Chart and becoming a Martial Saint will also be higher than other great masters."

"Moreover, after breaking through to the realm of Martial Saint, his strength will be even stronger than other Martial Saints."

"According to records in some ancient books, both martial arts and law cultivation are incomplete. Only by cultivating both law and martial arts can one finally embark on the road to heaven."

No wonder Madam Xiao wants to venture into the palace to seek a chance to break through to become a Grand Master in both magic and martial arts. It turns out there are so many benefits... Li Xuan's eyes flickered and he returned to the topic:
"Mother, if the leader of the Blood Lotus Sect is so powerful, why does the Blood Lotus Sect become a cult, hiding in hiding, and never showing up on its own initiative?"

Empress Xiao smiled slightly: "The reason is naturally very simple, that is, he is a martial saint who practices both magic and martial arts. He is not the only one. I should have mentioned the three holy places to you, right?"

"Are you referring to Daluo Temple, Tianxia Academy and Baidi Tower?" Li Xuan couldn't help but ask.

When he was chatting with Empress Xiao, he asked about other famous forces in the world besides the Six Avenues Sect.

Empress Xiao told him some rough divisions of power.

It can basically be divided into three holy places, six great sects, nine aristocratic families and twelve sects!
This is considered the top force in the entire world.

There are at least Grandmaster-level experts in the sect.

but.

At that time, Empress Xiao only introduced the names of various forces in general, without elaborating on their specific strengths.

Now it seems that these three holy places should be superior to other forces.

Empress Xiao said: "You have a good memory. The reason why these three holy places are called holy places is because there are martial saints or ghost immortals who are both skilled in magic and martial arts. The three holy places have already formed an offensive and defensive alliance. See the Blood Lotus If the leader of the Blood Lotus Sect is an enemy, don't you think everyone is shouting for beatings? Even if the leader is a martial saint who practices both magic and martial arts, he can only hide in the dark. Once he shows up, the martial arts of the three holy places will be destroyed. Saints or ghosts and immortals will naturally take action."

Li Xuan took a deep breath in his heart.

I originally thought that Wu Sheng was the most powerful person in this world.

Unexpectedly, there were actually martial saints and ghost immortals who were both skilled in magic and martial arts.

This is simply the Wu Sheng plus version!
It seems that I am on the right path to cultivate both law and martial arts.

Think about it here.

Li Xuan asked again: "Why do these three holy places target the Blood Lotus Sect? Has the leader of the Blood Lotus Sect done anything outrageous?"

"I heard some older elders in the sect mention that it seems that in order to obtain a life map, the leader of the Blood Lotus Sect sacrificed millions of people with blood, which provoked all the martial saints and ghost immortals from the three holy places to take action. However, this Blood Lotus Cult leader is quite tyrannical. Even though he was seriously injured, he still escaped and secretly formed the Blood Lotus Cult to cause trouble everywhere!" Empress Xiao said.

When Li Xuan heard this, his eyebrows couldn't help beating.

After sacrificing blood to millions of people, this Blood Lotus Cult Leader is really a devil!

This has almost reached the population of a province.

suddenly.

Empress Xiao's beautiful eyes flashed: "You said that the Blood Lotus Sect has been active in Guangning Mansion recently and is colluding with the Black Wind Village. Could it be that there is another destiny plot coming out and a blood sacrifice is being prepared?"

Damn it, your sixth sense is so accurate... Li Xuan was shocked in his heart, but pretended not to know on the surface:
"Younger ones don't know, maybe it's just a coincidence."

Empress Xiao was a little disinterested: "It's a pity that I'm trapped in the cold palace. Even if there is a destiny to be born, it has nothing to do with me."

Li Xuan followed Empress Xiao's topic and continued: "Empress, are there any signs of the birth of this destiny map? Why can the leader of the Blood Lotus Sect know in advance and perform a blood sacrifice to steal the destiny map?"

"Generally speaking, when the fate map is born, there will be visions. However, this kind of vision will only occur when the fate map is born. The leader of the Blood Lotus should have some special method to know about the appearance of the fate map earlier. The approximate location, so as to arrange the blood sacrifice in advance, attract the fate map, and capture it." Empress Xiao couldn't help but say.

Paused.

She continued:
"Of course, there is actually a side method to roughly know the location where the destiny map is born."

Li Xuan asked curiously: "What can I do?"

"Generally speaking, when the fate map is born, there will suddenly be more evil spirits in a certain place. These evil spirits have a special sense of the fate map and will unconsciously approach the fate map." Empress Xiao said, "Of course, the evil spirits It’s hard to find the movement without looking carefully, and it’s not just the birth of the destiny map that will cause the evil spirits to gather. Occasionally, when a demon wants to massacre the city, a large number of evil spirits will be summoned.”

"In addition, if abnormal phenomena suddenly occur in certain places, such as snow in June, unprovoked heavy rain or drought, etc., it may also be the birth of a destiny."

Empress Xiao explained some methods for inferring the location of the destiny map.

These methods are indeed biased and inaccurate, so few people care.

but.

Li Xuan was slightly shocked when he listened to Madam Xiao's story.

What the hell!

In his hometown of Huaqing Prefecture, not only had the number of evil spirits suddenly increased recently, but there also happened to be a severe drought, causing He Da Zhuang's fields to lose their harvest.

Could it be that this destiny chart will appear in Huaqing Mansion? !

This is really very possible.

After all, the location of this blood sacrifice is in Taihu Province.

Huaqing Mansion is one of the eight mansions in Taihu Province.

"Why don't you press it anymore? Are you tired after pressing it for a while? Can you do it?" Seeing Li Xuan stop, Empress Xiao couldn't help but urge.

Li Xuan finally came to his senses and continued to massage Madam Xiao.

He originally wanted to ask Empress Xiao why the number of evil spirits in Huaqing Mansion suddenly increased, but now this question can only be left in his stomach.

'The birth of a destiny map is often accompanied by a destiny seed. By refining the destiny seed, you can obtain a magical skill. If you are lucky, there may be a map that guides you into an unknown place hidden in the destiny seed. This is a great opportunity. ' Li Xuan thought secretly.

The unknown place is exactly where the destiny map comes from.

What secrets are hidden inside, few people know.

However, a place where a destiny map can be born is obviously quite extraordinary.

This is extremely attractive to the Martial Saint!

'Forget it, the birth of the destiny map this time will definitely attract a lot of attention. I am of low strength, so I better not join in the fun. '

Li Xuan thought in his mind and gave up the plan to snatch the life seed.

Nowadays, he just wants to stay in the cold palace, quietly develop and improve his strength.As long as your strength improves, why worry about not having good things?
Li Xuan did not continue the topic of fate, but asked: "Mother, are there any treasures in this world that can store a large number of items? I originally wanted to buy more things along the way, but unfortunately it was too troublesome to carry them, so I had to give up. "

Empress Xiao thought for a while and said: "Yes, of course there is, but it is extremely rare and requires special materials to refine it, such as mustard stone. This material is even rarer than the material used to refine divine weapons. , you don’t have to count on it.”

After hearing this, Li Xuan was greatly disappointed.

Even Empress Xiao said this, thinking about it, this storage item is indeed extremely rare and expensive.

It is estimated that only those who are at the level of Grand Master or Martial Saint are qualified to possess it.

'Forget it, I've got enough now. I can't afford Longwangshu. If I don't have it, I won't have it. Anyway, I don't really need it for the time being. 'Li Xuan didn't worry about it anymore.

Next.

He chatted with Empress Xiao for a while and learned some things about the three holy places and other forces.

For example, the three major holy places have their own dojos, which are not under the jurisdiction of any one country.

Among them, Tianxia Academy is the most special. This academy exists in almost every country.

However, most of this academy is only responsible for teaching and educating people. Occasionally, a few people will be selected to study at the main headquarters of Tianxia Academy.

After half an hour.

Li Xuan didn't dare to stay with Madam Xiao, so he made an excuse to leave.

then.

He went to the area under his jurisdiction again, met with the thirteen useless concubines in his charge, and brought some gifts to each of these useless concubines.

Mostly it was rouge, gouache, beauty elixirs, pens, inks, paper and inkstones, and then they exchanged some greetings.

Unfortunately, only one queen's favorability increased by 5 points, which increased Li Xuan's martial arts experience by 1 point.

Reached 112 points/hour.

Li Xuan didn't pay too much attention to this. After all, there were so many people that it was difficult to get even rain and dew.

It is normal for the favorability level to increase slowly.

Now it can only flow slowly!

Anyway, so far, his martial arts experience points are sufficient.

After appeasing the ladies under his hands.

Li Xuan called Meng Hu over again and asked about what happened in the Leng Palace recently and the work of the eunuchs and maids under him.

Although Xiao Huzi had some conflicts with him before, after some training, he has already become Li Xuan's number one supporter.

After learning that everything had been business as usual for more than 20 days, Li Xuan felt relieved.

In fact, this is not surprising.

The Cold Palace is no different from other places. Basically, nothing big may happen in a few years. It can be called a blessed place for the elderly.

Otherwise, this general manager would not have applied for transfer from Dongchang to Lenggong.

"Brother Xuan, my "Powerful Bull Demon Fist" has been completed, and I should be able to break through to strengthen my muscles in a short time!" Xiao Huzi said.

Li Xuan nodded slightly: "Yes, keep up the good work, take this pill and practice hard.

He casually threw a bottle of Strengthening Pill to Xiao Huzi, which was worth about five taels.

This naturally made Xiao Huzi feel so grateful that he almost knelt down and kowtowed.

After all, this bottle of Strengthening Pill was enough for him to work hard for more than half a year.

"As long as you help me with my affairs on weekdays, the benefits will naturally come from you." Li Xuan waved his hand.

Now that he has been promoted to the Xiantian realm, he needs to spare more time for cultivation. When it comes to work, he naturally needs to find a reliable helper.

Little Huzi is a bit stupid, but he can be used for something. Giving him some benefits will also make him more dedicated.

"Yes, from now on Brother Xuan, if you ask me to go east, I will never go west." Xiao Huzi immediately expressed his loyalty.

He also felt a little emotional in his heart. He didn't expect that the little eunuch who didn't even learn "Strong Bull Demon Fist" a year ago has become so powerful now.

There is five taels of silver elixir at hand!
The next day.

After Li Xuan arranged things for his eunuchs and maids, he happily ran to the palace of Empress Duanmu and others.

After a stick of incense.

Li Xuan got a stack of paper in his hand, which recorded the cultivation methods written by seven or eight girls.

They all have excellent martial arts, and the advantages and disadvantages are written down in detail for Li Xuan's reference.

'You ladies are so thoughtful. I just regret that I can't commit myself to you. '

Li Xuan quickly looked through these innate skills.

[Qingfeng Jue: Practicing this skill, the internal energy adds to the body, which can make the body as light as the wind and disappear. The disadvantage is that the attack is weak]

[Golden Toad Kung Fu: This technique can make the inner energy full of masculinity and strengthen one's own defense. There are six changes in total. When practiced to the top, it can withstand attacks from master-level warriors. The disadvantage is that it is difficult to practice and the attack is weak]

[Jiyang Shenglong Dao: Simulates the breathing method of the ancient divine dragon, which can strengthen the Dantian, fill the inner energy, and practice to great success. The inner energy is several times that of ordinary Xiantian realm warriors. The disadvantage is that the practice is extremely slow and consumes a lot of resources. More than other exercises]

【…】

Li Xuan looked at them all and found that these techniques were indeed very good.

As long as he can cultivate to the perfect stage, he should be much stronger than ordinary Xiantian realm warriors.

However, after comparison, none seems to be as good as the "Huangting Thunder Prison Sutra".

This technique, after being successfully practiced, can not only make the inner energy powerful, but also come with a thunderous attack. Its lethality is also one of the best among all the Xiantian realm techniques.

In addition, the internal energy generated will not be bad in defense.

It can be described as comprehensive.

The only disadvantage is that it is difficult to practice and requires the assistance of lightning strike wood, and if it is not done well, it will damage the foundation.

This also results in the speed of practice being much slower than other techniques!
The most important thing is that if you want your inner energy to have the power of thunder, you need to go through a real thunder tempering!

If one is not good, it will be the end of body and soul.

That's why Shiyu said before that those who practice the "Huangting Thunder Hell Sutra" are either madmen or martial arts idiots!

'I'm not a madman, let alone a martial arts fanatic. However, since Wei Jingzhong can practice the "Huangting Thunder Prison Sutra" and I have the "Kunpeng Tuna Technique" with me, plus the bonus of martial arts experience points, there is no reason why I can't practice it! '

Li Xuan clenched his fists and made a decision in his heart.

Wei Jingzhong was the factory supervisor of the East Factory, the chief eunuch of the ceremonial department, and the general manager of the palace. He was under one person and above ten thousand people.

If you want to surpass Wei Jingzhong, you must not fall behind him in this step!
Li Xuan has figured out that since he came to this world and there are cheats around him, he must reach the top step by step.
