The experience of living in the cold palace

Li Xuan did not agree in a hurry, but picked up the wine glass and took a sip of the spirit wine.

This dark green spiritual wine is also the signature of this restaurant. It is brewed from the Qianye fruit unique to Qianba Island in Dongzhou.

It is soft in the mouth, sweet and refreshing, and has endless aftertaste.

One bottle is worth hundreds of taels.

Taking a sip can also speed up the recovery of internal energy.

Many Xiantian realm warriors who like to drink will even use this kind of wine to replace the elixirs that restore their inner energy.

Seeing that Li Xuan was silent, Chu Qingyi frowned and said, "Brother Li, if you still have any concerns, you might as well express them clearly."

"This Qianye fruit tastes sweet, but it has also lost the potency that wine should have." Li Xuan put down the wine glass and said in a light voice, "Every gain must have a loss. This is a natural principle. However, I am worried that if I agree to you, I will lose it." Yes, it will be much more than what you get.”

There was a pause.

He continued: "Miss Chu's family is one of the five major families in Dongzhou. Who you want to die is not a matter of words. However, now you want me, the person you met for the first time, to kill this person." This person must be extraordinary, right?"

This Chu Qingyi himself is very strong, and he is considered a master among the warriors in the late Xiantian realm.

Coupled with the power of his family, even if he wants to kill the grandmaster, it may not be impossible.

Now, Chu Qingyi was begging for help.

Then there are only three possibilities.

First, this person is extremely powerful and requires the cooperation of a group of experts to kill him.

Secondly, this person has a special status and it is difficult for Chu Qingyi or his family to take action.

Third, if you have both of the above, this person is powerful and has a special identity, which is the most troublesome.

Li Xuan came here just to find Empress Xiao's incarnation, and didn't want to create any complications.

Chu Qingyi showed helplessness, but her tone was very sincere: "Indeed, unless it was absolutely necessary, I would not ask Brother Li for help, an outsider whom I met for the first time, because the person I want Brother Li to kill is my fiancé."

"..." Li Xuan was speechless.

He took a deep look at Chu Qingyi, but he didn't expect that this hot and heroic woman would actually want to murder her husband.

If the government and others find out about this, they will be put in a pig cage.

Seeing that Li Xuan's expression was unnatural, Chu Qingyi quickly added: "Although this man is my fiancé, he has no feelings for me. On the contrary, he has a grudge. Three months ago, my father suddenly suffered from a mysterious illness. Poison, this man came to my door and said he had an antidote to my father's poison, but the condition was that I marry him."

"I can only use a delaying tactic to get engaged to him first, saying that after the pirates are wiped out this time, it won't be too late to get married. At the same time, I asked him to take out part of the antidote, which delayed the poison in my father's body."

"However, within the past three months, this person has also teamed up with some people in my family and misappropriated a lot of my family's resources."

"So, I want to take advantage of this opportunity to destroy the pirates, kill them in one fell swoop, and at the same time find the antidote for my father from him."

"It's a pity that this man is not only powerful, but also a late-stage Xiantian realm warrior with both magic and martial arts. He is ranked fifteenth on the list of geniuses. His identity is even more special. He is the eldest son of the Xiao family, one of the five major families, and a member of the Sixth Avenue Sect. One of the inner disciples of the Tianlong Sect, it is absolutely impossible for me to kill him alone. I don’t trust the people in the family too much now, but I can’t find a reliable helper for a while.”

"Until today, I met Brother Li. Brother Li has extraordinary swordsmanship and he is not from Dongzhou. If he can cooperate with me, he will definitely be able to kill this thief!"

Li Xuan's eyes flickered slightly as he listened to Chu Qingyi's story.

It seems to be the worst outcome.

The person Chu Qingyi wanted to kill had a special identity and strong enough strength.

after all.

The Six Great Gates are second only to the Three Holy Lands.

If you can become an inner disciple among the six great sects, your strength will definitely not be bad.

"What is this person's name?" Li Xuan couldn't help but ask.

"Xiao Yu, fifteen years ago he was accepted as a disciple by an elder of the Tianlong Sect. He just returned to Dongzhou recently. I have already inquired about it. The elder who accepted him as a disciple has now passed away. He is now a disciple of the Tianlong Sect. He came back to annex my Chu family and provide him with training resources. Therefore, even if he is killed, as long as there are no traces left, the Tianlong Sect will at most send people to investigate and not go into too much detail. Yes." Chu Qingyi said.

Obviously, she had secretly investigated Xiao Yu during this period of time.

Li Xuan looked thoughtful.

If there are no worries, then it is not impossible to do this.

However, it is obviously not cost-effective to risk killing an inner disciple of the Sixth Avenue Sect just for a boarding quota.

He thought for a while and couldn't help but said: "I won't be able to stay in Dongzhou for long. I wonder when the navy will send troops to exterminate the pirates today?"

It had already taken him seven days to come to Dongzhou, which lasted about half a month.

In other words, he could only stay in Dongzhou for more than half a month at most before returning to the palace.

Even if it has to be extended, it can't be more than a week, otherwise it will be difficult for Leng Gong to explain.

If the empress knew about it, she might blame herself and resign her position as general manager.

Chu Qingyi said: "This news is confidential. I'm afraid no one knows the specific time except those high-ranking navy generals, but I guess it won't exceed seven days."

Li Xuan nodded: "Seven days later, it's still too late, but Xiao Yu is very powerful. I'm afraid that I will be too ambitious and not strong enough, and I will ruin Miss Chu's important event."

Although he thought he had the ability to kill Xiao Yu, he naturally would not show it.

If you can get more benefits, you will naturally get more benefits.

After all, whatever treasures Chu Qingyi promised from the previous dynasty must be fought for by himself just like in Black Wind Village.

It is equivalent to a blank wolf with no practical significance.

What's more, if this group of pirates lurking in the Turbulent Sea are really remnants of the previous dynasty, then there might be a master or even a grand master.

Although this grandmaster and even the great grandmaster should have been targeted by the imperial court, the chance of encountering him is very small.

However, there are certain risks.

Chu Qingyi was very wise and immediately said after hearing this: "I think Brother Li is good at using long swords, but Brother Li's long sword seems to be just a magic weapon. To be honest, Brother Li, my family has a long sword, but It is a divine weapon, if Brother Li can help me kill this thief, I will give this divine weapon to Brother Li, how about it?"

"Magic weapon?!" Li Xuan's eyes suddenly condensed and he almost stopped sitting.

You must know that the divine weapon is the highest level of weapon, and its value even far exceeds the soul-fixing mirror in your hand.

Ten soul-fixing mirrors cannot be replaced by a magic weapon.

The main thing is that even great masters and even martial saints can use divine weapons.

Divine weapons can not only fully carry the inner energy, true energy, and magic power of warriors and even practitioners, but they can also amplify the power within it by 30 to 40%, or even more.

In addition, each magic weapon has its own special ability, just like a magic skill.

Once you master a magic weapon, your strength can be doubled or even more in an instant.

Li Xuan felt that if he had a magical sword, he might be able to use the "Dragon's Infernal Knife" twice.

This undoubtedly greatly strengthened his strength!

It's a pity that magic weapons are so scarce, and each one is priceless.

Even a great master may not have a magic weapon.

Thinking of this, Li Xuan suddenly calmed down.

Something is wrong.

A handful of magic weapons is enough to invite the Grand Master or even the Grand Master to take action. How could it be his turn?

There must be something fishy about this, it's not that simple.

When Chu Qingyi saw that Li Xuan calmed down so quickly, her beautiful eyes flashed slightly:

"Brother Li has extraordinary determination. I admire him. It seems I have not misjudged him. Brother Li is indeed extraordinary."

"Actually, it is true to say that the magic weapon is missing. It is just that one third of the magic weapon is broken and its spirituality is greatly lost. However, if it can be completed with materials, it may not be impossible to regain its strength in the future. To the ranks of the divine soldiers.”

When Li Xuan heard this, a look of surprise appeared in his eyes.

It turned out to be fragments of the divine weapon, no wonder Chu Qingyi was willing to take it out.

Although this kind of broken magic weapon is still valuable, due to the great loss of spirituality, sometimes it may not be as good as a spiritual weapon.

Chu Qingyi felt a little uneasy when she saw Li Xuan groaning: "Although one-third of this divine weapon is broken, its main body is still there and its spirituality has not been completely lost. It is definitely better than the long sword in Brother Li's hand. Less."

"Miss Chu, can I take a look at this magic weapon before making a decision?"

After all, Li Xuan failed to resist the temptation of the divine weapon.

He has now upgraded the "Nine Python Weapon Refining Technique" to the entry-level stage. Coupled with the Yin-Yang Mixed Cave True Fire, he can actually integrate the magic weapon long sword in his hand into the magic weapon long sword to complete the magic weapon. .

"Of course it's no problem." Chu Qingyi couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Li Xuan agreed.

Although she has contacted two other trustworthy people to help her, these other two people are not as powerful as the Li Feiyu in front of her.

At least he couldn't kill a late-stage Xiantian realm warrior in an instant.

With the help of the person in front of her, she felt that her success rate in killing Xiao Yu would be greatly improved.

After a meal.

Li Xuan bought a horse in the city, and then left Shuiyun City on horseback with Chu Qingyi.

According to Chu Qingyi, the Chu family's headquarters is located in Youbo City, Youbo Prefecture, Tianhai Province, which is only a day's journey from Shuiyun City.

The Tianhai Navy will then set off from Tianhai Province and head to the Turbulent Sea to destroy the group of pirates hiding on the island.

after one day.

Visit Pau City.

The drizzle was hazy, and the cold wind blew one after another.

The surrounding tree trunks became withered and bare.

Compared with Beijing, which is warm and humid all year round, the climate in Tianhai Province is obviously colder and more humid.

It rains heavily every now and then.

"Hush!"

In front of a luxurious mansion.

Li Xuan and Chu Qingyi, wearing bamboo hats, turned over and dismounted.

"Miss."

"Miss, you are back."

When several servants saw Chu Qingyi, they quickly came forward respectfully and helped Chu Qingyi lead the horse.

at the same time.

They also looked at Li Xuan curiously, with an inexplicable look in their eyes.

Since the young lady got engaged, the previous suitors no longer dared to approach the young lady blatantly.

Where did the man in front of him get his courage? !

I am not afraid that the Xiao family master will come to my door.

Li Xuan turned a blind eye to the looks of the people around him and calmly followed Chu Qingyi into the Chu Mansion.

This is a large courtyard with four entrances and four exits, covering an extremely large area.

As a direct descendant of the Chu family, Chu Qingyi naturally lives in the inner courtyard.

Here there are cornices, arches, staggered corridors, courtyards and rockeries, and even the floors are paved with blue bricks, giving off the atmosphere of a wealthy family.

"Qingyi, you're back, how are you? Is everything going well?"

at this time.

A beautiful woman who looked similar to Chu Qingyi walked over slowly.

This beautiful woman was wearing a close-fitting palace dress. Compared to Chu Qingyi's fiery and energetic look, she was more gentle and peaceful.

"Mom, I'm okay, how is dad?" Chu Qingyi stepped forward and asked.

The beautiful woman sighed: "Hey, it's still the same as before. I can only wake up for a while every day, and my consciousness is not clear."

Chu Qingyi gritted her teeth: "Mom, don't worry, I will get the antidote soon."

The beautiful woman pursed her lips and looked at Li Xuan aside: "Who is this?"

"Oh, he is a good friend I made during this trip. His name is Li Feiyu. This time he will go to sea with me to eliminate pirates." Chu Qingyi said.

Li Xuan cupped his hands and said, "That's polite."

The beautiful woman bowed in return, then pulled Chu Qingyi aside and whispered:

"Qingyi, after all, you are engaged, so I'm afraid it wouldn't be appropriate to bring a man home directly."

Chu Qingyi snorted coldly: "Mom, it's not like you don't know the inside story. I don't care what outsiders say. As long as I can save my father, that's enough. Okay, I will handle this matter well. Mom, you don't have to worry. .”

Finished.

He ignored the beautiful woman, looked at Li Xuan and said: "Brother Li, let's go, I will take you to see the magic weapon."

After a while.

Chu Qingyi took Li Xuan into a weapons room.

There is a dazzling array of weapons displayed here, including swords, guns, swords, halberds, axes, hooks and forks, everything is available.

These weapons are of high quality, at least six or seven forged sharp weapons, and more are magic weapons. Li Xuan even saw a few magic weapons among them.

It has to be said that the Chu family's heritage is deeper than that of Heifeng Village in some aspects.

Chu Qingyi didn't look at these weapons at all. He walked straight to a wall and pressed the switch.

Rumble——

In an instant.

The wall flipped over, revealing a secret room.

Chu Qingyi walked in slowly.

Li Xuan looked wary and followed closely.

This secret room is very small, only about a dozen square meters.

There was nothing inside except a round table.

On the round platform, there is a red knife rest, and on the knife rest, there is a pure black long knife.

The shape of this long knife is somewhat like a decapitation knife, but it is broken from the tip to the middle of the knife.

The cuts are neat and smooth, but there are some burnt marks on the surface. I don’t know what was used to cut them.

Li Xuan looked at the long knife and felt as if there were thousands of ghosts wailing in it, which made people feel a little trapped.

"hiss."

Li Xuan quickly ran the "Lamp Burning Method" to calm his mind, but at the same time he was secretly horrified.

How many lives had been beheaded by this knife? Even after it was broken, it still had such a strong murderous aura that it almost turned into reality.

Chu Qingyi said: "This magical sword is called the Soul-Breaking Knife. After killing the enemy, it can connect with the enemy's soul and crush it together. It can also absorb the power of the soul and enhance its own strength. It can be regarded as a magic weapon." A long sword that was once the personal sword of the leader of the True Demon Sect. Twenty years ago, when the imperial court suppressed the True Demon Sect, the leader of the True Demon Sect died and the soul-crushing knife was also cut off!"

"Who is so capable that he can even cut off divine weapons?" Li Xuan's pupils narrowed slightly.

Chu Qingyi said: "It is said to be Wei Jingzhong, the director of the Dongchang Factory. You should have heard of it. A month ago, the Taihu Province Fate Chart was born, and it was snatched away by him. It's a pity that it is said that the fate was stolen by the saint." The female Mu Chenxue refined it, and then Mu Chenxue was killed by Princess Hongying and another person."

It's Wei Jingzhong again, his immediate boss is a bit fierce... Li Xuan nodded:

"I've heard about it too, but it's a pity that I wasn't in Taihu Province at that time. It's really a pity."

Chu Qingyi smiled: "If Brother Li is here, it's really hard to say who will get the flowers."

"It's hard to say. After all, finding a life seed still requires some luck." Li Xuan shook his head.

Chu Qingyi did not continue talking about the fate seed, but looked at the soul-breaking knife: "Brother Li, this knife belongs to you now. In the hands of brother Li, this knife will definitely shine."

Li Xuan was not polite: "Okay, that's it, I will help Miss Chu when the time comes."

"Thank you." Chu Qingyi solemnly clasped her fists.

Li Xuan stretched out his hand to take the knife, only to feel another image of a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood appeared in front of him, which he forcibly suppressed with his mind.

at the same time.

This knife actually emits a bloodthirsty desire, as if it wants to steal people's souls!

‘Hiss, this is really a magic sword. If you use it for a long time and cannot stick to your heart, I am afraid it will directly turn into a bloodthirsty demon. No wonder no one dares to use it here. ’ Li Xuan was secretly horrified.

He silently poured his inner energy into it, and found that after absorbing Li Xuan's inner energy, the soul-breaking knife actually bloomed with a faint black light.

The temperature of the entire secret room dropped instantly.

‘This sword is very suitable for my Dragon Roar Purgatory. With this sword, maybe I can use Dragon Roar Purgatory twice. ’ Li Xuan’s eyes lit up.

He looked at Chu Qingyi beside him: "Miss Chu, does your mansion have a refining room? I want to repair this soul-crushing knife a little."

"Brother Li is actually a weapon refiner?!" Chu Qingyi was surprised at first, then nodded, "Yes, I will take you there right now."

Li Xuan said: "Well, it's just in time to repair the soul-breaking knife before the imperial court sends troops to attack the pirates."

"I have to remind Brother Li that this knife is quite magical, so Brother Li must use it with caution." Chu Qingyi said.

"I'll pay attention."

Li Xuan nodded and followed Chu Qingyi out of the weapons room.

However.

The two of them had just walked around the corridor and were about to go to the weapon refining room when they met a middle-aged man with a sinister face, a hooked nose, and a black mole on his cheek.

When the man saw Chu Qingyi, a warm smile appeared in his eyes: "Qingyi, you are back, how are you handling the debt?"

Chu Qingyi said: "Everything has been taken care of, second uncle, is there anything wrong?"

Li Xuan looked at the middle-aged man from the side, his eyes flashing slightly.

She heard from Chu Qingyi that her second uncle Chu Mingshan, together with some clan members, took advantage of her father's coma to help Xiao Yu rob the Chu family's assets.

Chu Mingshan said: "I heard someone said that you brought an unknown outsider to Chu Mansion, so I came here to take a look."

"He is my friend, Li Feiyu. I will take him with me this time when the imperial court goes out to eliminate pirates." Chu Qingyi said calmly.

Chu Mingshan looked embarrassed: "Qingyi, I'm afraid this won't work, your quota has been exhausted."

When Chu Qingyi heard this, her eyebrows suddenly raised: "Why, each of our four rooms has five quotas. Now even including my friends, I only occupy four quotas. Why are they gone?!"

Chu Mingshan sighed: "Your fiancé Xiao Yu, Mr. Xiao, he said that the number of places to enter the island was too small, so I took it upon myself to give him half of your number. Anyway, we are a family sooner or later, so there is no need to calculate like this. clear."
