The experience of living in the cold palace

Li Xuan did not agree to Empress Xiao's request immediately, but considered it carefully.

Since this external incarnation was carefully selected by Empress Xiao to break through the sky, its strength must not be weak.

at the moment.

Something unexpected happened to this external incarnation. Whether it was caused by oneself or someone else, the power involved must be extraordinary.

If you intervene rashly, you may be in danger.

The suppression of bandits and demon tides in Taihu Province had just passed, and Li Xuan didn't want to put himself in trouble again.

Seeing that Li Xuan was silent, Empress Xiao's eyes dimmed and she said:

"Xiao Xuanzi, I know this matter is a bit dangerous for you. In fact, I don't insist that you rescue my incarnation. I just want you to take a look and see what happened."

"If something happens to my incarnation, it will be my fate, and I will accept my death calmly."

Before she entered the palace, she had already made preparations for death.

However, now she is only one step away from breaking through the sky, but because of this accident, her success is about to fail, how can she be willing to do so.

Even if you die, you have to die clearly.

Li Xuan said: "Empress, I am really not sure that I can save your incarnation. However, I can promise you that I will go to Dongzhou to look for your incarnation. Of course, if your incarnation meets The danger is too great and beyond my capabilities, so I have no choice but to give up. Moreover, I can’t leave for Dongzhou right away, I have to prepare for a period of time.”

He has just returned to the palace now, so naturally he doesn't want to go out immediately.

after all.

He has not yet digested all the gains from this trip to Taihu Province.

For example, the practice of "Huangting Thunder Prison Sutra".

Although he used the money he gained from suppressing bandits to buy enough lightning wood to break through to the middle stage of the Xiantian realm, his martial arts experience points were not enough.

The martial arts experience points accumulated before were all used to improve "The Universe in the Sleeve", and now there are only about 5,000 left.

If you want "Huangting Thunder Prison Sutra" to break through to Dacheng, you still need more than 30,000 experience points.

According to the current accumulation of martial arts experience points, it would take at least ten days to break through to the middle stage of the Xiantian realm.

Again.

Li Xuan also had to consolidate the realm of the soul, as well as practice methods such as "Tao Heart Seed Demon" and "Dielang Seven Killing Swords" to improve his combat power.

These all take time.

The most important thing is that Empress Duanmu will leave the palace soon.

Li Xuan didn't want to leave at this time and miss the opportunity to say goodbye to Empress Duanmu.

If the favorability of Empress Duanmu towards him fails to break through 100 because he missed the farewell, then Li Xuan will have no place to cry.

"Xiao Xuanzi, I finally got it right. If you do me this favor, I will pass on the cultivation method of the external incarnation to you. By then, you will be able to have a complete body." When the empress saw that Li Xuan agreed, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

She didn't mind Li Xuan's thinking, but she believed in Li Xuan even more.

Thinking too much means that Li Xuan really wants to help her instead of being perfunctory.

The ability to incarnate outside the body seems to be really good... Li Xuan's eyes moved: "My soul has not yet reached the state of possession, so I can't distract myself and transform my thoughts. Learning this incarnation is useless for the time being. Besides, I'm helping the empress." , because of the friendship between us, which is priceless, and not because I want to get something from my empress."

When Empress Xiao heard what Li Xuan said, she was stunned for a while. After a while, she said leisurely:

"Xiao Xuanzi, hey, I really didn't expect that I have been in the Taoist sect for so many years. Although I have been praised by all the stars, I am always scheming. I don't have a true friend. On the contrary, after half a year in the cold palace, I met someone who treats me sincerely. "

The words just fell.

Two lines of golden text flashed before Li Xuan's eyes.

[Xiao Yourong's favorability +5]

[Current Taoist bonus: 24 experience points/hour]

Li Xuan looked at the text in front of him, his eyes flickering slightly.

After Empress Duanmu and Empress Zhao, Empress Xiao’s favorability towards me has finally reached 100!

It seems that this external incarnation is indeed extremely important to Empress Xiao.

He just made a promise, and before he actually took any action, Empress Xiao's favor increased greatly.

Li Xuan couldn't help but ask: "Empress, you are a saint from the Randen Sect. After you were demoted to the cold palace, didn't anyone from the Randen Sect come forward to help you?"

He was indeed a little surprised. After all, the Randen Sect was one of the six great sects in the world. Their saint was demoted to the cold palace, but there was no reaction at all.

This is obviously unreasonable.

Empress Xiao said calmly: "It's normal for the Randen Sect not to help me. Who asked me to kill the son of the sect leader? It would be nice if they didn't come to the capital to kill me. How could they help me?"

"Ah?" Li Xuan was stunned.

He really had never heard Madam Xiao say this.

Empress Xiao didn't care: "It's just that fool who wanted to bully me because of his status, but I killed him. After that, the faction leader sent several elders to kill me, and I killed him again. This kind of bloody There’s no need to mention the little things that make people upset.”

‘Little things? ’ Li Xuan was so manipulated by Empress Xiao that she lost her ability.

Is it a small matter to kill the son and two elders of the sect leader of one of the Six Great Sects?

So what’s the big deal? !

The most important thing is that after Empress Xiao did this, she was able to escape unscathed.

How terrifying must be Empress Xiao’s cultivation back then? !

Mu Chenxue, the saint of the Blood Lotus Sect, is probably far from a match, right?

Li Xuan sighed in his heart and couldn't help but said: "Empress Xiao, you are so powerful, why didn't you just leave when you were demoted to the cold palace? By that time, you should have obtained the Great Dragon Qi, right?"

Empress Xiao rolled her eyes: "Do you think the palace is a place where you can come and leave whenever you want? Even if Dagan has been declining in recent years, it is not something that ordinary forces can contend with. Even the three holy places will not do it openly. Offending Daqian, let alone me. Of course, what I thought at the time was that the pure place of Leng Palace could just help me refine the dragon energy. When I transformed into a great achievement outside my body and broke through the sky, Leng Palace would not be able to trap me. .”

There was a pause.

She rubbed her brows and looked like she had a headache: "I never thought that something unexpected would happen when we reached the last critical step."

"Heaven is going to entrust this person with a great responsibility, and he must first work hard on his mind and body. Your Majesty, you have encountered such hardships, it just means that you are not far away from breaking through and becoming a Taoist." Li Xuan comforted him.

Empress Xiao's beautiful eyes flashed as she chewed carefully: "Heaven will give great responsibilities to this people... Xiaoxuanzi, I can't see that you can still say such a great truth. In fact, I can't figure it out. You are so young. You have cultivated your soul to the stage of manifesting, and you are considered a master. How could you enter the palace and become a little eunuch? If I hadn't found out that your body is indeed deficient, I would have thought that some Taoist sect was here to monitor me."

At such an age, practicing to the realm of manifestation is enough to be called a genius.

The Taoist sect was reluctant to send such a genius to the palace as a eunuch just to get close to her.

after all.

If the eunuch's body is damaged, it will have an impact on his martial arts and spiritual practice.

Moreover, spiritual cultivation is most about mentality. If the mentality is not good, it will easily become useless.

What's more, she is now just a useless concubine whose cultivation has been banned, and there is nothing worth coveting.

If the Taoist sect wanted to send someone, they would have done so a long time ago, and they would not wait until now.

Li Xuan said casually: "My Taoist teachings were passed down to me by a mysterious master. He directly helped me open the Niwan Palace between the eyebrows, which gave me a foundation for practice. However, I encountered some accidents later and was forced to I entered the palace and became a eunuch, but I have been practicing secretly, and I only broke through in the manifestation realm a few days ago."

He directly made up an unfounded expert, and then deliberately made it ambiguous, letting Empress Xiao guess on her own.

Smart people will not completely believe what others say, but they will often firmly believe in the information they have in mind.

"Open the Niwan Palace directly. This is the power of ghosts and immortals who have survived the thunder tribulation!" Empress Xiao's beautiful eyes flashed.

There are two ways to open up Niwan Palace.

The first is to read the Taoist Canon thoroughly, generate the light of wisdom, and open the Niwan Palace on your own.

The second type is that the powerful ghosts and immortals can help open up the Niwan Palace.

The latter is risky, and one mistake can lead to death.

"Did the Great Ghost Immortal say his name?" Empress Xiao couldn't help but ask.

Li Xuan shook his head: "He only said that we were destined to meet each other, and then he said that he would give me an opportunity to help me open Niwan Palace, and then left directly."

Empress Xiao looked thoughtful: "These ghosts and immortals are indeed free and easy, have weird temperaments, and act as they please. It is understandable to do such a thing."

Said.

She reminded again: "However, we can't rule out that he has ulterior motives. Xiao Xuanzi, you still have to be careful and pay more attention to your soul to see if there is anything strange."

"Thank you for reminding me, I understand." Li Xuan nodded.

It seems that the content of his nonsense has temporarily gained the trust of Empress Xiao.

He thought for a while and then said: "I will leave for Dongzhou at the latest one month. During this period, I will leave the Shen Yang Mu here with Empress Xiao. There are also some elixirs for regulating the body. I will give them to Empress Xiao another day. Sending it over here should be able to alleviate your mother's illness a little."

The energy contained in the Nourishing Spirit Tree is enough to nourish Empress Xiao's currently weak spirit.

certainly.

Li Xuan said it was the latest.

In fact, after he reaches the middle stage of the Xiantian realm, he can bid farewell to Empress Duanmu and receive a special reward before leaving for Dongzhou.

Li Xuan remembered that Zhao's father's best friend at that time, Wang Qinghou, the Marquis of Huai'an, served as the navy marshal in Tianhai Province in Dongzhou.

Perhaps when we go there, we can also try to find out some news about Zhao's father's rebellion.

Also, Jinhua’s hometown, Wanhua Mountain, is also in Dongzhou.

When the time comes, you can also take Jinhua back to have a look.

"One month, okay..." Madam Xiao nodded.

With the ability of her external incarnation and the back-up she left behind.

Even if something unexpected happens, as long as you don't encounter a ghost-level master and you persist for more than a month, there won't be any big problem.

"Well, I will try my best to leave as early as possible. Please take this time to recover, my dear."

Li Xuan comforted Madam Xiao for a few more words, and then his soul was shocked and returned to his body.

Empress Xiao also left the Shen Yang Mu and returned to her body.

Li Xuan called the palace maid in, and told her to take good care of Empress Xiao, and then slowly left the palace.

‘The next step is to wait for enough experience points to be accumulated, and then break through to the middle stage of the Xiantian realm in one fell swoop. ’

Li Xuan now has six pieces of lightning strike wood in his hand. The spine dragon has opened six acupoints, and there are still four acupoints that have not been opened.

Once the ten acupoints of the Spine Dragon are opened, 352 acupoints can be opened around the body with the Spine Dragon as the center and radiating towards the limbs.

At that time, it would be considered the middle stage of the Xiantian Realm!

With Li Xuan's profound accumulation, once he reaches the middle stage of the Xiantian realm, he will have a certain strength to compete with a genius like Mu Chenxue.

When the time comes, there will be greater certainty of saving the incarnation of Empress Xiao.

‘When I take over the position of general manager, I will be able to contact all the concubines in the cold palace. By then, my experience points will skyrocket! ’ Li Xuan was looking forward to it.

There are a total of thirty-two concubines in the cold palace.

He has fifteen concubines under his command, and Chen Eunuch has seventeen concubines under his command.

Apart from the four concubines including Empress Duanmu, there are still thirteen concubines that can be contacted!

These are all experience points.

With these additional increases in experience points.

Li Xuan was able to practice martial arts such as "Kunpeng Breathing Technique", "Stacking Waves Seven Killing Swords", "Tiangang Seven Star Steps" and other martial arts to perfection as quickly as possible.

‘Hey, it’s just like what Madam Xiao said before, under the tide of this era, fate will carry everyone forward. ’ Li Xuan sighed softly.

Whether it is dealing with Empress Xiao's affairs or dealing with possible threats in the future, strong strength is needed to support it.

Li Xuan can't lie down even if he wants to.

Five days passed in the blink of an eye.

In the courtyard where Li Xuan lives.

Rumble——

Accompanied by a loud buzzing sound.

The bones in Li Xuan's spine made a sound like a barrage of cannons.

Breathe a sigh of relief.

Li Xuan stood up and stretched his muscles.

Waves of powerful inner energy came out of his body, and then disappeared without a trace.

'It seems that if you don't practice the "Huangting Thunder Prison Sutra" to the Dacheng state, you won't be able to break through to the middle stage of the Xiantian state. ’

In the past five days, Li Xuan consumed two pieces of lightning strike wood and opened three more acupoints.

Now, only the last 'Mingmen' acupoint is left to be opened!

Li Xuan is not in a hurry. He still has four pieces of lightning strike wood left. As long as he has enough experience points, he can break through to the middle stage of the Xiantian realm in one fell swoop.

This is the benefit of panels, there are no bottlenecks or anything like that.

‘Speaking of which, the appointment document should be arriving soon. I can go and have a good contact with Eunuch Chen’s concubine in advance. ’

Li Xuan left his small courtyard and walked slowly towards the area under the jurisdiction of Eunuch Chen.

After a while.

Li Xuan then came to the area under the jurisdiction of Eunuch Chen.

As soon as he arrived, he saw two eunuchs walking slowly over with documents and imperial edicts in their hands.

‘This dress is that of a eunuch in charge of rituals. ’ Li Xuan’s eyes moved.

He walked forward slowly, bowed and said: "Two father-in-laws, our family is Li Xuan, the steward of the Leng Palace. Who are you two?"

One of the eunuchs said: "It turns out to be Eunuch Li. Our family is very polite. We are specially ordered by His Majesty to read out the edict."

"I wonder what's going on?" Li Xuan calmly stuffed a few taels of silver into the two eunuchs.

The eunuch accepted the money and immediately beamed with joy: "It's a good thing that your Lady Duanmu of the Leng Palace has been pardoned by Your Majesty and can leave the Leng Palace from now on."

'Sure enough, this is what happened...'

Although Li Xuan knew that Empress Duanmu would leave sooner or later, at this moment, she suddenly felt a little disappointed.

Alas, I don’t know when we will see each other again after this farewell.

Moreover, Empress Duanmu's return from this trip has serious intentions, and her life may be in danger.

Li Xuan had a lot of thoughts in his mind and said: "Two father-in-laws, our family is going to invite the general manager and another steward to come and listen to the order."

After a stick of incense.

In the palace of Empress Duanmu.

The eunuch in charge of the ceremony unfolded the imperial edict and said loudly:

"The emperor, who is destined to carry the fortune, issued an edict: Daqian and Simon should have been watching and helping each other. Now, although Simon has broken the promise, I still miss the old relationship and do not want to kill them all. Today, I am pardoning Duanmuya and leaving the palace to return to Simon. I hope that Duanmuya will be able to return to Simon. We need to coordinate with each other to help the two countries rebuild their old friendship, so as to prevent lives from being ruined. I appreciate this!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Li Xuan and others stood up.

Manager Zhang stepped forward and took the imperial decree into his hands.

He was still a little curious in his heart. What kind of arrogance did His Majesty have to send the princess of the enemy country back to the country? !

but.

He could only curse in his heart and did not dare to express it. Instead, he stepped forward to congratulate Duanmuya:

"Congratulations to the empress for regaining her freedom. In the future, the empress will surely make great achievements and rise rapidly!"

Duanmuya looked calm and nodded: "Thank you, Manager Zhang, for Ji Yan."

The eunuch in charge of etiquette said: "Empress Duanmu, you can pack up now. Simon Kingdom has sent someone to pick you up, and they are waiting outside the palace."

"Okay, thank you, father-in-law." Duanmuya handed a piece of silver to the eunuch.

The eunuch took it, congratulated him with a smile, and then left slowly.

After the eunuch in charge of the ceremony has left.

Only then did Empress Duanmu speak: "Manager Zhang, Manager Chen, I'm going to pack things now, you go and do your work."

Said.

She looked at Li Xuan again: "Manager Li, please stay here for a moment. I have a few words to say to you."

"yes."

Li Xuan nodded.

Manager Zhang and Eunuch Chen looked at each other and left the palace slowly without staying any longer.

Both of them knew that Li Xuan had served Empress Duanmu for a period of time.

Maybe Duanmu Empress would leave some good things for Li Xuan before she left.

In this regard, they can only express envy.

"Being good-looking has its benefits."

Manager Zhang touched his big belly and said sadly.

Eunuch Chen laughed dryly, feeling that if he were twenty or thirty years younger, he would be fine.

Back then, there were many palace ladies who wanted to have sex with him.

In the cold palace.

Only Empress Duanmu and Li Xuan were left.

"Congratulations to the empress for getting her wish and finally being able to leave the palace." Li Xuan congratulated with a smile.

He found that Empress Duanmu's favorability had not changed, it was still 100, and he was somewhat disappointed.

Is it necessary to have negative distance contact in order for the favorability to exceed 100? !

If that's the case, then I probably won't be able to do it for a long time.

Empress Duanmu pursed her red lips: "This is all thanks to you, Xiaoxuanzi."

"Your Majesty and I don't have to be so polite. Your Majesty, please take care of yourself when you return to China." Li Xuan said.

"You too." Empress Duanmu nodded and winked, "We Simon have a custom when we say goodbye to our friends. Do you want to know?"

"What custom?" Li Xuan was startled.

Empress Duanmu said, "Come closer."

Li Xuan took a few steps forward involuntarily.

next moment.

The fragrant wind blows against my face, and the soft jade is in my arms.

He felt himself being hugged, and then he was lightly pecked with sweet softness on his cheek.

Empress Duanmu moved very quickly, and while Li Xuan was still stunned, she retreated.

There was a trace of red on her cheeks, but her expression was very calm: "This is our Simon's kiss. We only do this to very important people."

"Um, should I return the favor?" Li Xuan touched his cheek.

Empress Duanmu's face showed a bit of embarrassment: "This is not necessary."

She thought for a while, then took out a jade flute from her arms and handed it to Li Xuan: "This Muyun Xiao was given to me by you before, and I will give it back to you now."

"After you are promoted to Xiantian, use your inner energy to touch Mu Yunxiao. This can be my farewell gift to you."

Li Xuan took it and his eyes moved slightly.

Could it be that there are mysterious runes inserted into the life seed by Empress Duanmu?

He calmly released a little inner energy and made contact with Mu Yunxiao.

next moment.

He saw bursts of mysterious runes flashing, and then the runes gathered into five words: Kunpeng Tuna Technique!

really.

Empress Xiao really passed on this magical skill to him.

‘Hey, it’s the hardest to accept the kindness of a beautiful woman. ’

Li Xuan sighed in his heart.

He cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, ma'am."

"Well, I don't have anything else to give you."

Empress Duanmu went back to the bedroom to tidy up, and then slowly left the cold palace accompanied by Li Xuan.

"The sky outside is so beautiful."

Empress Duanmu raised her head and glanced at Yunxia with a smile as bright as a flower.

She looked at Li Xuan and said: "Simon's sky is actually more beautiful, but it is covered by a black cloud. When I blow away the black cloud, I will let you come and take a look."

"Empress, I'm waiting for that day to come." Li Xuan smiled.

The two of them walked forward without saying a word.

Until he was about to leave the palace.

Empress Duanmu said: "After a long journey, we must say goodbye. Xiaoxuanzi, please go back. I will walk the rest of the way by myself."

Li Xuan struggled for a long time before he said, "My queen, actually, I also have a parting gift for you."
