Demonic Cultivation: Starting from a Horse Bandit

Suddenly, a man staggered over from the street corner. Yang Qiyuan was shocked, and tears welled up in her eyes. She rushed over and said, "Husband!"

Xu Sanyan held the wall, pretending to be seriously injured. With a smile on his face, he took Yang Qiyuan into his arms and comforted her softly, "I... I'm fine."

As he spoke, blood flowed from the corner of his mouth again.

Yang Qiyuan looked panicked, and hurriedly took out a handkerchief to wipe him, "Let's go home, go home."

As he spoke, the two of them snuggled up and walked towards home.

When the soldiers saw Xu Sanyan coming back, they also said goodbye and returned to the palace.

Xu Sanyan was lying on the bed. Yang Qiyuan held his hand tightly, and said with a worried look on his face, "Husband, how are you? I'll help you find a doctor."

Xu Sanyan shook his head, "It's useless. The secular doctor can't cure my injury."

"Then how can I do it?" Yang Qiyuan asked hurriedly.

Xu Sanyan closed his eyes sadly, sighed and said nothing more.

Yang Qiyuan seemed to understand something. The elixir her father had collected could definitely cure her husband's injury.

She knew her husband kept silent to avoid embarrassing her, but she couldn't just watch her husband die.

Yang Qiyuan gritted her teeth and finally made up her mind. She said, "Husband, I have a way to find your father's elixir for you."

Xu Sanyan shook her head gently, "No need to do that, I may not die."

As she spoke, she coughed twice, and blood splashed from her mouth.

Seeing this, Yang Qiyuan became even more anxious. She no longer cared about whether he was her father or not, and hurriedly said, "My husband, in fact, the treasures collected by my father are not stored in the inner storehouse of the palace. I know where they are. Just hold on, I will take you there."

Xu Sanyan's heart moved. This old man is really treacherous. He has hidden the treasure alone. So he propped himself up and said with a serious face, "Absolutely not. I will die. If the prince knows, he will definitely punish you."

"I don't want you to die!"

Yang Qiyuan's voice was filled with tears, "For my husband, I am willing to be punished."

As he said, he forced Xu Sanyan to walk out.

The two quietly came to the backyard of the palace. Xu Sanyan's expression froze and she stopped. Yang Qiyuan turned her head and whispered, "Why didn't my husband leave?"

Xu Sanyan said, "There are immortals stationed in the palace, and the five senses are sensitive. I am sure I can avoid it, but if I take you with me..."

Xu Sanyan was halfway through his words, and Yang Qiyuan had already understood what he meant, so he whispered in his ear, "There is a bookshelf in the study in the backyard of the palace, and there is a vase under the bookshelf. Move the vase away and pry open the bricks and stones below. The mechanism is here."

Xu Sanyan couldn't help but ask curiously, "How did the lady know?"

It stands to reason that it is so secretive that it will never be easily told to others. Yang Qiyuan is not valued by King Rui, so how did he find out?

Yang Qiyuan lowered his eyes, "The bird told me..."

"Huh?"

Xu Sanyan's eyes were full of doubts, thinking that he had heard it wrong.

"Oh, let's talk about these unimportant things later, you go and come back quickly." Yang Qiyuan urged.

Xu Sanyan nodded, still thinking of the words, "What did the bird tell her?"

Is this "bird" the bird he understood?

How does a bird talk?

Xu Sanyan didn't understand, so he could only climb over the wall and quickly move to the study.

He had been to the palace several times and was very familiar with it. He also knew where the study was.

With his strength, as long as he restrained his own breath and didn't deliberately reveal his flaws, even a foundation-building expert would find it difficult to find.

Xu Sanyan's figure flashed and hid behind the pillars of the corridor. He waited until the patrolling soldiers not far away walked away before continuing to move forward.

Passing by the princess's room, Xu Sanyan stopped to listen, and bursts of suppressed moans came from the room.

Xu Sanyan narrowed his eyes. There was only the princess in the room, and it was self-evident what she was doing.

As the saying goes, women are like wolves at thirty, tigers at forty, and can suck dirt when they sit on the ground at fifty. Xu Sanyan understood this.

He had something important to do today, so he wouldn't help, otherwise he would have to show his filial piety.

The study was not far away. He gently pushed open the wooden door and turned around to close it. The room was very simply decorated with a table, a chair, a bookshelf, and some calligraphy and paintings.

Xu Sanyan followed the instructions and picked up the vase. As expected, he found a mechanism under the floor tiles.

As his wrist turned, the bookshelf slowly separated from the middle, revealing a secret passage leading down.

Xu Sanyan was delighted and stepped into it quickly.

The secret room was pitch black, but at his level, he could see at night, so it didn't affect him.

The secret room was about three or four steps long and horizontal. There was a shelf on the side, which was filled with various books and seven or eight jade boxes.

Xu Sanyan suppressed his excitement and checked them one by one. Most of them were ordinary martial arts and skills. Although they were ordinary martial arts, they were all treasures, much stronger than the Three Tigers and Dragon Swords he practiced.

After flipping through the books roughly, Xu Sanyan didn't see any skills related to cultivation. It seemed that the real treasure was still carried by King Rui.

Then he opened the jade box, and a golden flower lay quietly inside. It was the elixir!

The elixir was full of color and looked extraordinary.

"Hehe... King Rui, King Rui, no matter how much you defend yourself, you still can't defend your daughter."

Xu Sanyan chuckled, grabbed the golden flower and stuffed it into his mouth. In an instant, a stream of heat flowed into his body, and he felt hot and unbearable all over, as if he was in a furnace.

After a while, the heat gradually faded away. Xu Sanyan's mind moved, and the panel under his eyes emerged.

Among them, the "Qi" column has increased from twenty-nine to thirty-three, an increase of four points.

Xu Sanyan frowned slightly, not satisfied, only four points?

Then he opened the next jade box, which contained a wooden vine. He swallowed it in big mouthfuls, and his "Qi" became thirty-eight, an increase of five points this time.

He seemed to understand that spiritual medicines and precious medicines were different. Each precious medicine increased by one point because it only contained so much spiritual energy, while spiritual medicines increased differently according to the amount of spiritual power they contained.

After thinking it through, Xu Sanyan no longer cared and swallowed all the spiritual medicines. His "Qi" increased smoothly to fifty-seven points, and the plus sign behind the realm also appeared.

This proved that he could break through to the perfection of the heavenly realm!

He was not interested in those skills, so he did not move. Instead, there were many papers on the side, and he took out a piece to check.

"On the eighth day of the sixth month, Concubine Huan and Yang Xinyi had a secret meeting at the Xiangshan Waterside Pavilion, and returned late at night."

Xu Sanyan grinned. This Concubine Huan... seemed to be the mother of the fifth son?

The eldest son had a secret meeting with the mother of the fifth son?

Interesting, interesting.

"On July 17, Yang Qizhu tried to bribe the right general Duan Yuxiu, but failed."

Xu Sanyan recalled that Duan Yuxiu was a Tianren realm warrior under King Rui, and was currently leading troops outside.

"On July 19, Yang Xinli practiced the "Heart-Slaying Yin-Devouring Art" and successfully broke through the inner energy realm perfection, but concealed it."

Xu Sanyan raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect that the fourth young master had such a high talent. He was only eighteen or nineteen years old, right?

Yang Xinli was the one who went to recruit him on behalf of the third young master in Wanglong County last time. He was still young, but his talent was not bad, probably not worse than Ma Tianqing.

And... he also practiced the "Heart-Slaying Yin-Devouring Art".

Xu Sanyan felt that this art might have some secrets.

"On July 27, Yang Xinyou sent someone to secretly return to Xiangcheng to discuss with Yang Xinyi in the mansion. The specific content of the conversation is unknown."

Xu Sanyan's eyes moved slightly. The eldest young master and the third young master conspired?

And it was also known by King Rui...

Xu Sanyan laughed silently, things seemed to be getting more interesting.
