Starting as the young master of a medicine shop, he practiced swordsmanship for twenty years

Is this woman before me Xia Mingyue, the Empress who controls the vast territory of the Great Xia Dynasty and dominates the lives of all people?

Even when facing this Empress who sits at the pinnacle of power in the Great Xia Dynasty, there was not a trace of timidity in Lu Xuan's eyes.

Lu Xuan stood below, gazing directly ahead, or rather, looking at Xia Mingyue, who was leaning lazily on the Xuan black(Xuan black: dark black) imperial throne.

After a moment, Lu Xuan slowly raised both hands, leaned his body slightly forward, bowed, and spoke in a steady and respectful voice.

"Your subject, Lu Xuan, Deputy Commander of the Xuan Bird Guard(Xuan Bird Guard: A special guard), greets Your Majesty!"

On the way here, Man Qingqiu had mentioned to Lu Xuan some points to note when meeting the Emperor.

In the Great Xia Dynasty, when facing the Emperor directly, those at the Divine Mansion Realm(Divine Mansion Realm: A cultivation realm) only needed to bow, without performing the grand kneeling ceremony.

As soon as Lu Xuan finished speaking, Xia Mingyue, who was leaning lazily on the imperial throne, immediately responded, her thin lips parted slightly, and her voice carried out.

"Beloved Minister Lu, no need for excessive courtesy!"

Immediately afterward, when Lu Xuan raised his head again to look at the imperial throne, his eyes instantly narrowed, and his pupils shrank to the size of a needlepoint.

Because just a second ago, Empress Xia Mingyue was still leaning lazily on the imperial throne.

She was using only one seemingly delicate and soft jade hand to support her snow-white chin, exuding a lazy and noble majesty.

However, in the blink of an eye, Empress Xia Mingyue disappeared like light smoke, leaving no trace, as if she had never appeared on the imperial throne.

After witnessing this unbelievable scene, Lu Xuan felt a chill down his spine, and the hairs on his back stood on end.

This kind of speed that overturned Lu Xuan's understanding was the first time he had ever seen it.

You should know that from the moment Lu Xuan stepped into this hall.

He had quietly locked his divine sense perception onto Empress Xia Mingyue, not daring to slack off in the slightest.

Therefore, every move of Empress Xia Mingyue was secretly noted by Lu Xuan.

However, in front of Lu Xuan's powerful divine sense perception, Empress Xia Mingyue disappeared cleanly under his very eyes.

Without any warning, not leaving a trace.

Just as the alarm bells were ringing loudly in Lu Xuan's heart, a soft yet extremely majestic voice spoke.

"Qingqiu, you may step back first!"

This sentence floated leisurely in the empty hall, it was the voice of Empress Xia Mingyue.

Under Lu Xuan's careful distinction, the voice came from the direction where Man Qingqiu was.

The expression on Lu Xuan's face did not change, but the corner of his eyes feigned casualness, quietly glancing towards Man Qingqiu's position.

Empress Xia Mingyue's figure stood abruptly in front of Man Qingqiu.

Behind her, the long Xuan black(Xuan black: dark black) tassel skirt trailed behind her, draped over the clean, mirror-like gold and jade floor tiles.

At the front of the Xuan black(Xuan black: dark black) tassel skirt, Empress Xia Mingyue was not wearing shoes, but exposing those jade feet to Lu Xuan's eyes.

Her skin was like freshly fallen snow, pure and flawless, without a trace of dust.

Like a natural mutton fat jade, it was constantly exuding a kind of ultimate purity and nobility.

The moment Empress Xia Mingyue's voice fell, Man Qingqiu hurriedly bowed slightly, her expression full of respect, and responded softly.

"Yes, Your Majesty, your subject takes her leave!"

Afterward, at the moment when Man Qingqiu turned to leave.

Her beautiful eyes fell directly on Lu Xuan's body as she glanced around, a meaningful thought flashed in her eyes.

This Lu Xuan is really interesting, it seems that Her Majesty values him very much.

At least, in the years that Man Qingqiu has served Empress Xia Mingyue.

She had really never seen Her Majesty appear in front of the world in such a casual and lazy manner.

After a short period of time, Man Qingqiu withdrew from the hall silently, with a bellyful of doubts.

Instantly, the hall fell into a deathly silence, so quiet that a pin drop could be heard, and even the air seemed to freeze.

At this time, Empress Xia Mingyue, not far away, no longer appeared and disappeared like before.

Instead, she lightly raised her jade feet and slowly stepped on the ground, each step seemed to open up invisible lotus flowers, gracefully walking towards Lu Xuan.

However, each step that Empress Xia Mingyue took seemed simple and ordinary, but in fact, it contained some kind of mysterious and unpredictable power.

The gold and jade floor tiles under her feet seemed to be separated by an invisible force that could not be seen with the naked eye.

The whole person seemed to be walking on solid ground, strolling in the ethereal void.

The corner of Lu Xuan's eyes was tightly fixed on the feet of Empress Xia Mingyue, his eyes full of different emotions.

Of course, don't get me wrong, Lu Xuan naturally wouldn't be in the mood to appreciate these exquisite jade feet at this time.

Lu Zheng's heart was full of surprise, what kind of power is this.

The Empress Xia Mingyue in front of her did not emit a trace of power fluctuations, but she was able to freely fly in the air, with a leisurely posture.

All of this seemed very ordinary, but it revealed an unspeakable mystery.

It was as if Empress Xia Mingyue was integrated with this world, not bound by the rules, and every move represented everything in the world.

At some unknown time, Empress Xia Mingyue quietly came to Lu Xuan's front, only a few steps away.

At this distance, Lu Xuan could very clearly see the flowing light in Empress Xia Mingyue's eyes.

A nearly perfect black Xuan bird(Xuan bird: A mythical bird) pattern, as if it had been given a fresh life, was cleverly engraved on the Empress's fair and smooth forehead.

The black Xuan bird(Xuan bird: A mythical bird) was lifelike, and its whole body was always filled with a mysterious Xuan black(Xuan black: dark black) obscure light.

With every breath and every subtle movement of Empress Xia Mingyue.

The Xuan black(Xuan black: dark black) light on the Xuan bird(Xuan bird: A mythical bird) flickered faintly, giving Lu Xuan the illusion of facing the master of heaven and earth.

While Lu Xuan was watching Xia Mingyue, Xia Mingyue was also examining Lu Xuan.

In fact, from the moment Lu Xuan entered the palace, Xia Mingyue had already seen Lu Xuan's appearance clearly.

Even the fact that Lu Xuan had entered the palace and was arguing with the Eunuch, she knew it clearly.

However, when this Lu Xuan really stood in front of her.

The distance of a few steps made Xia Mingyue's heart, which had been silent for many years, and the ancient well was not rippling, quietly rippling layers of waves.

If it was someone else, Xia Mingyue didn't know.

However, Xia Mingyue could guarantee that in the palace, no one could hide her perception.

The age of this Lu Xuan is really around the age of twenty.

Twenty-year-old Divine Mansion Realm(Divine Mansion Realm: A cultivation realm) small success!

Interesting!

Really interesting!

Such an unprecedented and unique martial arts qualification is really desperate!

Back then, when I was twenty years old, with the help of various heaven and earth treasures in the royal treasure house, I barely broke through to the realm of martial arts master.

In the end, I still got the help of that supreme ancestral tool in the royal forbidden land.

The martial arts realm will be advancing by leaps and bounds, breaking through many shackles, and rising all the way.

Does this Lu Xuan also possess a unique treasure of heaven and earth, as magical as my royal ancestral weapon?

Xia Mingyue's heart was like a surging wave, and thousands of thoughts were intertwined and collided together.

However, her beautiful face was as calm as a windless lake, without revealing the true thoughts deep in her heart.

The next moment, Xia Mingyue turned around, turned her back to Lu Xuan, and showed the beautiful shape to Lu Xuan without reservation.

The three thousand blue silks, as black as ink, drooped smoothly behind her, without being disturbed by a trace of external force.

Xia Mingyue turned around, and then, her gentle but majestic voice, like a ray of agile breeze, slowly floated into Lu Xuan's ears again.

"Beloved Minister Lu, before, you quelled the chaos in Ming Prefecture(Ming Prefecture: A place name) in the Southern Region(Southern Region: A place name), you have made great contributions, and I will definitely reward you!"

Seeing this, Lu Xuan looked solemn, changed his usual casualness, and showed a respectful attitude in every word and deed.

"I dare not."

After all, those people Lu Xuan had met before were far weaker than himself.

And this extremely mysterious Empress is the strongest person Lu Xuan has encountered since he was born, without one.

Treating people who are much stronger than himself, no matter what their identity, Lu Xuan will still act cautiously, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.

After Lu Xuan's words fell, the surroundings fell into a brief silence.

Empress Xia Mingyue did not immediately respond to Lu Xuan.

I saw her slowly raised her snow-white right hand like suet jade, her five fingers were green and slender, and after slowly opening.

In an instant, in the palm of Empress Xia Mingyue's palm, a faint Xuan black(Xuan black: dark black) vortex, like an agile snake, surged out.

The Xuan black(Xuan black: dark black) vortex, as if it was a mysterious channel connecting the unknown void, was strange and deep, making Lu Xuan vigilant again.

After only one breath, a look of horror suddenly appeared in Lu Xuan's eyes.

I saw in the void above the Xuan black(Xuan black: dark black) vortex, a box made of black spar was slowly falling down.

The black spar box was accurately suspended above Empress Xia Mingyue's palm.

This black spar box is not big, about the size of two hands combined.

The whole body of the box is filled with a strong breath of heaven and earth power, echoing the Xuan black(Xuan black: dark black) vortex, revealing an unspeakable mystery.

"Beloved Minister Lu, this time you not only eradicated and eliminated the White Lotus Nightmare Flower(White Lotus Nightmare Flower: A kind of flower), but also killed the evildoers of the Pure World White Lotus Sect(Pure World White Lotus Sect: A sect)."

"This is one of the rewards I give you!"

Before Lu Xuan could speak, the Xuan black(Xuan black: dark black) spar box seemed to be attracted by an invisible force.

It started to shake on its own without external force.

Immediately afterward, the Xuan black(Xuan black: dark black) spar box slowly broke away from Xia Mingyue's control, and floated leisurely in front of Lu Xuan.

Lu Xuan's eyes were fixed on this box, and it was exuding a faint breath of heaven and earth power on its surface.

Of course, in these subtle heaven and earth powers, there is also the breath that Lu Xuan is very familiar with.

These breaths are naturally what Lu Xuan has been thinking about in his heart.

The breath of top-grade heaven and earth spiritual objects.

Is this Xuan black(Xuan black: dark black) spar box filled with top-grade heaven and earth spiritual objects?

wrong!

This Xuan black(Xuan black: dark black) spar box is almost exactly the same as the box that Li Chengxing handed over to him in Baidao Prefecture(Baidao Prefecture: A place name) before.

The only difference is that this Xuan black(Xuan black: dark black) spar box is much larger than before.

Lu Xuan remembers very clearly that this Xuan black(Xuan black: dark black) spar box is not those secular things.

It is a treasure that can completely cover up the rich heaven and earth aura of things like top-grade heaven and earth spiritual objects.

And now, this Xuan black(Xuan black: dark black) spar box can't completely cover up the breath of the thing inside.

Could it be that the thing in this Xuan black(Xuan black: dark black) spar box is something that surpasses the existence of top-grade heaven and earth spiritual objects?

Thinking of this possibility, a trace of fiery light flashed in Lu Xuan's eyes.

"I am terrified!

"It is really difficult to bear the grace of Your Majesty."

Lu Xuan said that he didn't dare, but his right hand had already stretched out unconsciously, and his heart held up the Xuan black(Xuan black: dark black) spar box.

Lu Zheng has never concealed his desire for heaven and earth spiritual objects.

Because, heaven and earth spiritual objects are one of the important things that can quickly improve Lu Xuan's strength.

Especially the things above the top-grade heaven and earth spiritual objects, that is the most important thing.

In the place where Lu Xuan could not see, the corner of Empress Xia Mingyue's mouth twitched slightly, as if she was affected by Lu Xuan's actions.

This Lu Xuan is really interesting.

Since I ascended the throne, it has been a long time since I met someone like Lu Xuan who has no concealment in front of me.

However, what this Lu Xuan needs is the same as what the people below passed up.

Lu Xuan is extremely fond of heaven and earth spiritual objects, and can even be described as greedy.

Xia Mingyue was not unhappy about Lu Xuan's greedy behavior of heaven and earth spiritual objects, but was relieved.

Greed is okay!

As long as the extraordinary martial artist's power can be used by her, even if there are more heaven and earth spiritual objects, Xia Mingyue can give it.

"What is contained here is the Cave Heaven Spirit Object Black Spirit Wood(Black Spirit Wood: A kind of wood), which contains pure heaven and earth spiritual energy, and also carries a trace of the power of law."

Cave Heaven Spirit Object?

What is this thing?

And what kind of existence is this power of law?

Lu Xuan frowned slightly, completely unable to understand what Empress Xia Mingyue meant.

However, Lu Xuan said it didn't matter, anyway, he had already got the answer he wanted to know most.

Contains a lot of pure heaven and earth spiritual energy.

This is what Lu Xuan needs, a lot of heaven and earth spiritual objects, which can bring him a lot of system points.

"Your subject thanks Your Majesty for your grace!"

Lu Xuan, who had received the benefits, clasped his fists again, leaned forward, bowed deeply, and his face was full of undisguised gratitude.

There is no way, the Empress Xia Mingyue in front of him is really giving too much!

So much that even Lu Xuan couldn't help but feel grateful.

Unconsciously, Lu Xuan gradually labeled Empress Xia Mingyue as a good person in the depths of his heart.

Good people!

Great good people!

And Empress Xia Mingyue in front of Lu Xuan did not know that she had been labeled as a good person by Lu Xuan.

I saw Empress Xia Mingyue changed the subject and said slowly.

"Beloved Minister Lu, do you know why I summoned you?"

Lu Xuan frowned, momentarily stunned. After a moment of thought, he shook his head and replied,

“This humble subject is unaware, please enlighten me, Your Majesty.”

“In half a year, preside over the Great Xia Dynasty's Martial Arts Competition for Us.”
