Chapter 258.

“Before my humble servant left the palace, he did something superfluous, and I asked the little eunuch sent by His Majesty to supervise …….”

Xu Qi’an relayed the “text” that he had taught the young eunuch to Wei Yuan in its original form.

Seeing Wei Yuan in deep thought, Xu Qi’an hurriedly said, “Without permission, my humble servant has taken it upon himself to ask Duke Wei to analyze this.”

Upon hearing this, Wei Yuan revealed a smile and nodded, ”Although it was self-initiated, it was well done. His Majesty is suspicious and good at checks and balances, these words of yours reaching his ears will make him suspicious of Noble Consort Chen.

“Thus rethinking the whole Foo Foo case, considering the pros and cons of multiple parties and the balance he has been struggling to maintain.”

Still unsatisfied, Xu Qi’an said in a less confident tone, “Will His Majesty see it? Or, will that young eunuch confess with His Majesty to accepting my silver and delivering a message on my behalf?”

“There were no mistakes in that statement of yours, it all actually happened.” Wei Yuan laughed:

“As for the latter question, confessing with His Majesty will only expose himself as a bribe taker, having had no merit, who would lift a stone to stone their own feet. Those who can serve in His Majesty’s chambers are not to say how smart, but at least not too stupid.”

Hey, I know all these ……. Xu Qi’an sighed in a tone of admiration, “Duke Wei is extremely intelligent, I admire him.”

Wei Yuan looked deeply at him and shook his head, losing his smile.

Then, in a rather relaxed mood, he returned to the tea room, personally poured two cups of tea, and said, “You’ve stepped into the God Refining Realm, don’t stop hammering your Yuan Shen until the extra meridian odd points are inflated, and you’ll be able to hammer your body in advance.”

Extra meridian wonder point …… Ohhhh, the solar plexus.

Xu Qi’an froze for a moment before reacting that the extra meridian qi points referred to the solar plexus, and there was no such thing as solar plexus in this world.

The meridian point, sounds like a high-end atmosphere on the grade ah …….. Xu Qi’an himself does not like the name “solar plexus”, because it is always felt that this is a verb.

Hearing this topic, Xu Qi’an knew that his operation just now had generated good feedback, and Wei Yuan was in a good mood, planning to treat him, the gong of merit.

That seems to “ask for forgiveness” is actually inviting credit behavior, Wei Yuan can see through, but the leader is like this to put their own high up the subordinates.

Even Wei Yuan, who was exceedingly intelligent, was no exception.

Xu Qi’an just now if he said, Wei Gong, I’ve fucking made a big achievement again, hahahaha.

The feedback received would be completely different, and perhaps Wei Yuan would even criticize a few sentences, telling him to avoid arrogance and be quiet.

“Hammering the body?” Xu Qi’an asked rhetorically.

Hammering the body is the main content of the period of Refining Essence Realm, which is nothing more than aerobic + anaerobic exercise, breaking through the limit of physical ability again and again. Every three days, you have to ask the doctor to soothe your tendons and revitalize your blood to relieve the strain on your muscles, and then you have to keep eating big fish and meat, as well as some warm herbs.

Xu Qi’an “ate” a hundred taels of silver a year, almost half a year’s income of the second uncle.

After reaching the God Refining Realm, the set of the Essence Refining Realm definitely didn’t work anymore, and Xu Qi’an didn’t know how to hammer the body.

“As I told you before, the martial artist system didn’t happen overnight, it was the incessant groping and refinement of previous generations that led to today’s Wufu Nine Ranks.”

Wei Yuan sipped his tea as the talk intensified and said, “The initial copper skin and iron bones are hammered out one by one, just like a blacksmith’s hammer, forging a piece of iron embryo into fine iron. This process is extremely long, and because it strikes the vital parts from time to time, if the foundation is not solid enough, one will die.”

Wei Gong, when you say striking to the vitals, is that what I understand ……. Uh, chicken and egg?

“Later on, someone created a medicinal bath, using special heavenly materials as the main ingredient, placing the person in a large cauldron to cook, and the martial artist spits in the cauldron to fight against the high temperature and absorb the medicinal power, thus accomplishing the Copper Skin and Iron Bone Realm.”

“How’s the mortality rate?” Xu Qi’an asked.

“The danger is just as great, and sometimes the person cooks while boiling.” Wei Yuan replied.

“…….”

Xu Qi’an’s mind immediately floated a picture, he sat in the cauldron, surrounded by boiling water, proficient in pharmacology Chu Caiwei kept adding ingredients to the cauldron: fennel, bean curd, cinnamon, onion ……..

Xu Suoyin stood aside, tears flowing from the corners of her mouth.

“Is there a safer way?” He gulped quietly.

“With the birth of generations of geniuses, someone finally created the first set of cultivation methods based on practicing qi and supplementing it with body quenching. The core of this method is to use a special way of practicing qi to quench the body from the inside out, and in conjunction with hammering or cooking, the danger will be greatly reduced.”

Wei Yuan unfolded a piece of rice paper, penned the three words “Mixed Yuan Gong”, said:

“The topmost technique of the night watchman’s yamen is called the Mixed Energy Technique, and every golden gong uses this technique. Heh, throw it in the jungle and it will lead to a bloody storm.”

Once again, Xu Qi’an realized the benefits of defecting to Wei Yuan and becoming a night watchman, there were top-notch feats and the most lavish resources here, the resources that were unattainable to the jianghu dispersed people were indeed within reach for Xu Qi’an.

Including that koan, again, superb stuff.

The fact that he was able to step into the God Refining Realm so quickly was certainly due to his own amazing talent, but it was also unrelated to the resources Wei Yuan had given him.

Wu Fu system is really a drudgery occupation ah, with modern knowledge analysis, nine products refining essence realm is also known as moving bricks realm, eight products is practicing qigong moving bricks, seven products is bursting the liver to stay up all night to move bricks, the sixth product is more absolute, direct chest broken boulder mode ……. Xu Qi An sighed and asked:

“Duke Wei, is there a qi practicing method that can be cultivated into copper skin and iron bones without cooking or beating with a stick?”

“Yes!”

Wei Yuan’s answer was beyond Xu Qi’an’s expectations, he was first pleased, then tried, “In a dream?”

…….. Wei Yuan looked at him, silent for a few seconds, and said gently, “The Buddhist Sect has a similar dharma, and some people say that a martial artist’s Copper Skin and Iron Bone Realm is based on the derivation of the Buddhist Sect’s Vajra Realm.

“It is also said that it was the Buddha who referenced the Wufu system and created a new path in the Buddhist system called Wushang.”

That is to say, the martial monk system has a set of methods that can be cultivated into a copper skin and iron bones without cooking, this is a good deal ah, turn back to set a wave of six, white whoring from his hands over …… Xu Qi an unconsciously showed an innocent smile on his face.

……….

The Emperor’s Bedchamber.

Emperor Yuan Jing sat cross-legged on the collapse, closed his eyes and exhaled, a pillar of sandalwood incense burned in the corner of the bed, and the green smoke was slender and straight.

The old eunuch stood at one side, lowered his eyebrows and did not make a single movement.

At that moment, footsteps came from outside, and a small eunuch stopped outside the bedchamber.

Glancing at Emperor Yuan Jing who was getting into a good mood, the old eunuch moved to the door in small steps and lowered his voice: “What is it?”

“Godfather, the head of the Dao sent a Taoist priest from Ling Bao Guan to invite His Majesty.” The eunuch whispered.

The old eunuch was obviously stunned, pinching his fingers and counting the time, and said that the days are right, these days of every month are the time when the State Master’s body is inconvenient, and he closes the door to recuperate.

Even His Majesty could not be disturbed, but could only vomit in his own chambers.

“Got it, stand down.”

Sending away the little eunuch, the old eunuch slowly came back to the edge of the couch and whispered, “Your Majesty ……”

Emperor Yuan Jing opened his eyes.

The old eunuch said, “The State Master has sent someone to invite Your Majesty over for enlightenment.”

Emperor Yuan Jing was slightly stunned, and immediately afterward, those ancient eyes blossomed into light, brighter than ever before.

“Pendulum, go quickly!”

Every month, the State Master would suffer from karmic fire burning his body, and his seven emotions and six desires would churn incessantly, so these days, the State Master would choose to go into seclusion, and no one would be allowed to go in to the Spirit Treasure View.

But Emperor Yuan Jing knew that if there was ever a day when the State Master agreed to double-cultivate with himself, it would definitely be one of these days.

Emperor Yuan Jing had waited for this day for a long time, and although he was now regenerating his black hair and his body was strong and healthy, just like a strong man. But he still couldn’t live forever.

If he wanted to go further, he could only double-cultivate with the State Master and seize her spiritual essence, so that he would be able to live long and prosper and become the eternal Emperor of Dafeng.

Leaving his bedchamber and boarding the dragon carriage, Emperor Yuan Jing urged his way along, arriving at Ling Bao Guan in a short while.

But when he met the woman state teacher, he was disappointed to find that she really just invited herself over to meditate and exhale, just as she used to do her homework.

With a grain of vermilion sand dotted between her eyebrows, the woman state master with picturesque brows sat cross-legged on a futon, her voice soft and charming, “Your Majesty, please take a seat.”

Her black and beautiful green silk was bound with a lotus crown, emphasizing her gorgeous white face, clean and without a single hair hanging down from her temples.

Emperor Yuan Jing was unwilling and said in a deep voice, “Since the State Master is unwilling to double cultivate with me, why invite me here at this moment.”

Luo Yu Heng closed his eyes and faintly said, “This month will not be scorched by the fire of karma, the poor Taoist promised to teach His Majesty the art of longevity, so he should remember his promise and not dare to slack off for a single day.”

Emperor Yuan Jing was silent for a moment and sat down on the futon that belonged to him, not immediately closing his eyes and exhaling, saying:

“State Master, the herbs for the Rejuvenation Pill have been prepared, tomorrow I will send someone to send it to Spirit Treasure View.”

Luo Yu Heng opened his eyes and scrutinized Emperor Yuan Jing, then suddenly sighed, “Your Majesty’s dark hair has regenerated, and after many years of vomiting and cultivating, you have long been immune to all diseases. There is no need to practice the Four Seasons Divine Pill anymore.”

Emperor Yuan Jing ignored it and closed his eyes to exhale.

During the four seasons of the year, Emperor Yuan Jingdi had to refine four great pills, which were made in the four seasons of spring equinox, summer solstice, fall equinox and winter solstice.

Each furnace of great dan was worth a lot of money, worth three years of tax revenue for a county, and it had to be a wealthy region.

In addition to the four large pills, there were thirty-six small pills. The amount of silver consumed was appalling.

These silver is not diverted from the treasury of the Ministry of the household, are the emperor’s own small treasury expenditure, as for the emperor’s small treasury of silver how to come, full of civil and military everyone knows, but also unannounced.

At the end of the enlightenment with the State Master, it was already sunset and dusk.

Emperor Yuan Jing was in a bad mood and was silent when he returned to his chambers, remembering that the case of Concubine Fu was not yet over, he said in an impatient tone:

“Great companion, go and have the cabinet prepare a decree that the case of Concubine Fu has been delayed again and again, and now it has been over a decade. Order the three divisions to give the result within two days.”

The result given is “Is the Queen guilty or not guilty”.

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

The old eunuch hesitated slightly and whispered, “Today that Xu Qi’an came to the palace again.”

Emperor Yuan Jing frowned, “What else is he doing here, you send someone to the night watchman’s office tomorrow to retrieve the gold medal.”

The Empress has already confessed her guilt, and the case of Concubine Fu can almost be closed, so there is no need for that little gong to come back to the palace.

The old eunuch nodded and said in a thin voice, “Then will you still be looking for a slave to ask questions today.”

Emperor Yuan Jing thought about it and slowly nodded his head, “Declare!”

The old eunuch exited the chambers, and in less than a quarter of an hour, brought in the young eunuch who had been supervising Xu Qi’an.

The little male stood obediently with his head bowed and his back bowed.

Emperor Yuan Jing sat behind his desk, condescendingly looking down on the little eunuch, “What did Xu Qi’an come to the palace to check out today?”
