Supreme Alchemy

The next day, the first day of the new year, the ceremony of offering sacrifices to the heaven.

This is a major event for the entire capital.

All the people will gather around.

And all the royal family members, all the civil and military officials will also participate.

Lin En came to the outside of Qingyuan Palace again.

Although it was only one night later, Lin En's awe of Xiao Changfeng was even greater.

Although he did not see it with his own eyes, he heard about what happened in Baixiao Hall.

The five concubines, the three princes, and the pressure from the queen.

It was actually cut by a sword.

It was too crazy and too domineering.

Although this matter was mostly shocking to outsiders.

But for Lin En, it was a blessing.

Because the fifth prince was dead, he didn't have to worry about being silenced.

And Lin En also remembered the words of the ninth prince at that time.

"Follow me in the future, I will keep you safe!"

Lin En knew that he was just a small person. In the eyes of these princes and concubines, his life and death were no different from ants.

No one has ever looked at him straight in the eye, let alone considered him.

But the words of the Ninth Prince last night touched Lin En's heart.

It was precisely because of this that he took the initiative to find Xiao Changfeng today.

"Your Highness, the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony is about to begin, and I am here to invite you!"

Lin En said respectfully.

Squeak!

The door of Qingyuan Palace opened, and soon Lin En saw Xiao Changfeng's figure.

Today, Xiao Changfeng was still wearing a jade-embroidered gold-edged robe.

Under the sunlight, the whole person looked majestic and extraordinary, like a god descending to the world.

"Let's go!"

Xiao Changfeng nodded to Lin En and stepped out.

Lin En hurriedly followed.

The Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony, as the name suggests, is to sacrifice to the sky.

It is the most grand and solemn sacrificial ceremony.

This sacrificial ceremony was not established by the Dawu Dynasty.

It has been passed down from ancient times and has a long history.

The Heavenly Sacrifice Ceremony was presided over by Emperor Wu. Through offering sacrifices to heaven, people expressed their gratitude for the nourishment of heaven and prayed for heaven to bless all people.

The Heavenly Sacrifice Ceremony was held in the Great Sacrifice Hall in the southwest suburbs of Kyoto.

There was a vast square outside the Great Sacrifice Hall.

The Heavenly Sacrifice Ceremony had a complicated process. Civil and military officials and royal relatives would gather in the palace, then walk through Zhengyang Gate and walk to the Great Sacrifice Hall.

When Xiao Changfeng and Lin En arrived at the gathering place, it was already crowded.

Xiao Changfeng's arrival naturally attracted a lot of attention.

Suddenly, everyone looked ugly and fearful.

Obviously, Xiao Changfeng's domineering sword last night had already made him famous.

"Ninth Brother!"

A surprised voice rang out in the crowd, it was Xiao Yurong.

At this time, Empress Ling's face was ashen, and she wanted to pull Xiao Yurong, but she was a step slower.

Soon Xiao Yurong walked to Xiao Changfeng's side, holding his arm intimately, not caring about the eyes of others at all.

"Brother Jiu, I knew you would be fine."

Xiao Yurong's face was filled with a bright smile, warmer than the sun.

Last night's reunion dinner scared her.

Fortunately, when she was the most lonely and helpless, Brother Jiu stepped forward.

From that moment on.

Xiao Yurong knew that the relationship between her and Brother Jiu was stronger than gold!

"Happy New Year, this is a New Year's gift for you."

Xiao Yurong's presence also made Xiao Changfeng smile.

He reached out and touched the storage ring, took out an exquisite jade bottle, and handed it to Xiao Yurong.

"What is this?"

Xiao Yurong naturally would not refuse Brother Jiu's gift. After she took it, she opened the jade bottle and took a look.

Suddenly, her beautiful eyes widened and her mouth opened slightly.

There were ten pills in the jade bottle.

All of them were beauty pills!

"Do you remember what I said to you at the beginning? I will give you as many as you want!"

Xiao Changfeng smiled slightly, looking at Xiao Yurong with a soft look.

"Thank you, Brother Nine!"

Xiao Yurong smiled sweetly, feeling happy.

Xiao Changfeng swept his mind and found many familiar people in the crowd.

For example, the one being carried was the Second Prince, and the Third Prince was still in a state of dismay.

There were also Concubine Wen, Concubine Xia and others.

But Concubine Duan did not show up.

In addition, the other princes and princesses were also in the procession.

But they all kept their distance from Xiao Changfeng and did not dare to approach him.

Xiao Changfeng did not comment on this.

Soon, the auspicious time arrived.

Led by Emperor Wu and Empress Dowager, the team began to set off towards the Great Sacrifice Hall.

Although what happened last night was likely to tear their faces apart.

But today, both Emperor Wu and Empress Dowager looked calm, as if what happened last night had never happened.

But everyone knew that the rift between the two had grown larger and larger.

…

"Wow, your majesty is so majestic, and the queen is pregnant and still works hard."

"Hey, why did the second prince become like this? Why didn't the fifth prince come? The eighth and twelfth princes are not here either!"

"Isn't that the ninth prince? He really came back and participated in the ceremony of offering sacrifices to the heaven."

In Kyoto, the people surged and watched Xiao Changfeng and others.

After all, Emperor Wu and the queen and others usually lived in the palace and were rarely seen.

So taking advantage of this opportunity today, many people came to watch.

The team was very long and the walking was very slow.

At noon, everyone arrived at the Great Sacrifice Hall.

The Emperor Wu presided over the sacrifice to heaven with solemnity.

Everyone followed the Emperor Wu and knelt down to pay respects, in a formal manner.

However, Xiao Changfeng was not very interested in this kind of thing.

Sacrifice to heaven?

In the previous life, I was the Immortal Emperor of Creation who ruled the Heavenly Court, and I am the Heavenly Dao.

Sacrifice to heaven is just like worshiping myself.

It took three full hours for the ceremony of offering sacrifice to heaven to end.

Although everyone was extremely tired, many people had bright eyes and were full of expectations.

Because every year after the ceremony of offering sacrifice to heaven, there is a wonderful program.

That is the martial arts competition of the younger generation.

The ceremony of offering sacrifice to heaven, the whole city moved, and millions of people watched.

For ordinary people, the martial arts competition is a wonderful program.

And for those who participate in the martial arts competition, it is also a good opportunity to make a name for themselves.

For the children of the powerful, the martial arts competition is also extremely important.

Because the first place in the martial arts competition will receive extremely generous rewards.

The last reward was a semi-sacred weapon.

A semi-sacred weapon, this is a real treasure.

Even the first family in Kyoto, such as the Duke of Weiguo Mansion, may not have it.

Therefore, no matter who it is, they are staring at the martial arts competition like wolves.

In the eyes of everyone's expectation, Emperor Wu stepped forward and ruled the world.

"My Great Wu Dynasty, founded on martial arts, should not be forgotten. Today, we will hold a martial arts competition. Anyone under the age of 20 can participate."

As Emperor Wu spoke, the square outside the Great Sacrifice Hall was quickly decorated.

Many warriors who met the conditions were also eager to show their talents and become famous.

And the next words of Emperor Wu made everyone completely excited.

"The first place in this year's martial arts competition, I allow him to enter the royal treasury and choose a treasure by himself!"
