Emperor's Stand-in: My physique improves a little bit every day

"Your Majesty, how about I write a letter to my father and ask him to teach these arrogant mountain barbarians a lesson, so that they know how powerful our Daning Dynasty is."

Rong Xiyao's pretty face was frosty, and she said fiercely, obviously not joking.

Seeing this, Lu Changjing hurriedly stopped her: "My beloved concubine, you can't do that. You know the current situation of the royal secret treasury and the national treasury. We can't afford to fight a war. Let's forget about this matter. Anyway, I won't agree to it."

"Your Majesty, don't worry, you don't need to raise military funds, just leave this matter to my father." Rong Xiyao said with a smile.

"Uh..." Lu Changjing was stunned for a moment, but still shook his head and said, "It's not necessary. Our relationship with the Shanman tribe has not reached this level yet."

"Besides, the Blood Barbarians are teaching the Shanman tribe a lesson, so why should we interfere? These Shanman envoys are just asking for too much, so just ignore them."

As he spoke, Lu Changjing stood up and embraced Rong Xiyao: "When I step into the realm of gods and demons, I will definitely flatten the entire Shanman tribe, and then let my beloved concubine deal with it."

"Okay, then I will wait for the day when your majesty flattens the Shanman tribe." Rong Xiyao's pretty face turned red, and she felt that the place where Lu Changjing was holding was so hot that she was a little unstable.

Lu Changjing also discovered that this imperial concubine, who has always been arrogant, has never experienced human affairs.

As long as she gets closer at the critical moment, she can make her at a loss and no longer be able to stick to her original decision.

After comforting Rong Xiyao, Lu Changjing sent away the somewhat dizzy imperial concubine. As for the matter of writing a letter to the King of Southwest to attack the mountain barbarians, it naturally came to nothing.

Lu Changjing didn't want to cause any trouble now. The marriage was already a headache. If the King of Southwest attacked the mountain barbarians, how could he practice peacefully in the future?

If Cao Wenzheng put the blame on him, it would be even worse.

After dealing with these messy things, Lu Changjing continued to practice peacefully, as if the marriage had never happened.

Anyway, he couldn't make any decisions now. Cao Wenzheng was in front of these things, so why worry about it.

Even if he wanted to worry, Cao Wenzheng would not allow it. Why waste time and energy.

Or continue to practice, improve, practice combat skills... Occasionally, be affectionate with Tan Baobao and Xin Meimei, and enjoy the taste of imported food.

Considering the urgent need for the Soul-Picking Hook to help him solve the hidden danger of Cao Wen Zheng, Lu Changjing spent more time on practicing the Soul-Picking Technique and improving his spiritual power.

Moreover, his Qi-refining and body-refining skills have been improving too fast during this period, and he needs enough time to adapt.

Therefore, most of Lu Changjing's time every day is spent on the Royal Dragon Soul Sutra and the Soul-Picking Technique.

In this case, even if he wants to improve both slowly, it is impossible.

In just a few days, Lu Changjing broke through his spiritual cultivation to the level of the second-level Grandmaster. Between the fluctuations of his spiritual power, he can clearly detect all the movements within a dozen meters around him.

Although such spiritual power cannot detect outside the imperial study, it is not far away.

With the characteristics of the immortal demon body hiding, even if his spiritual power detects the Grandmaster, the other party cannot find anything, which is also the strength of the immortal demon body.

The speed of the spiritual power surge is amazing, and the consumption is also amazing. Ten high-level spiritual pills are now only seven, and three have been consumed.

Each of these high-level elixirs that can enhance spiritual power is worth at least a few hundred low-grade spiritual stones. In other words, in just half a month, Lu Changjing consumed more than a thousand low-grade spiritual stones in his spiritual cultivation alone.

No wonder Ning Zhongyu was able to empty the royal secret treasury and the national treasury. While maintaining a high-speed cultivation, he also had to take into account the stability of his foundation, and the resources and treasures he needed to consume far exceeded Lu Changjing.

In addition, he also needed to reward his subordinates from time to time, or buy some treasures to protect his spiritual veins, dantian, spiritual sea... to avoid being hurt by the Huangji Divine Art system.

So even though Ning Zhongyu's cultivation progress was far inferior to Lu Changjing's, the resources and treasures he needed to consume were at least several times or dozens of times more than Lu Changjing.

I don't know how many resources and treasures Lu Changjing saved with the Immortal Demon Body. Even so, the amount of resources and treasures consumed made Lu Changjing feel very distressed.

The resources and treasures that he had finally obtained by relying on his freeloaders have now been consumed by nearly half. At this rate, it will take less than a few months to consume them.

In particular, the resources and treasures that improve the cultivation of the soul and body are relatively rare, but the consumption rate is no less than that of the resources and treasures needed for the cultivation of qi.

In this case, when he is promoted to the fourth-level master level, the resources and treasures for body and soul can be consumed.

He sighed, even if the consumption is great, he must practice with all his strength.

When his spirit, energy and spirit all step into the fourth-level master level, and then improve various combat skills, his comprehensive strength should not be much worse than that of a high-level master.

Especially in the cultivation of the soul and body, he can completely crush Cao Wenzheng.

Caught off guard, there is a great possibility that he will be severely injured or even killed.

At that time, even if he encounters the most urgent situation, he can escape, and when he has enough strength, he can come back and take everything that belongs to him.

Because of the matter of the Shanman envoy, Cao Wenzheng didn't have to attend the morning court during this period. He spent more time dealing with this matter, as well as the Jinyiwei and the demons and monsters.

This gave Lu Changjing plenty of time to practice and improve himself, and occasionally talk about life and ideals with Tan Qingyun and Lin Yixin.

During this period, Imperial Concubine Rong Xiyao, Imperial Concubine Tang Qingyi, and Concubine Yi Zhou Ruolan... also came a few times, and they became more familiar with each other, especially when dealing with Rong Xiyao, they could touch each other from time to time.

As for Tang Qingyi and Zhou Ruolan, they are not that close yet, but in Lu Changjing's view, this is also a matter of time.

Lu Changjing is not worried that Rong Xiyao will tell this matter. Lu Changjing still knows something about the Imperial Concubine's tone.

Besides, even Rong Xiyao's Qingkong Divine Ring was secretly taken away, not to mention the matter of love.

It's just that the concubines are too charming, it's really hard to control.

Lu Changjing is not a gentleman. On the contrary, he was quite yearning for such things in his previous life. Now that he has the opportunity, he always feels a little restless.

Especially when the pure yang energy flows in the body, it can certainly temper the body, but it also has significant side effects.

Not long after his physique reached more than 300 times that of an ordinary person, Lu Changjing's spiritual cultivation once again encountered a bottleneck.
