At this time, the imperial palace of the Great Zhou Dynasty was in the cold.
There are ruins everywhere and overgrown with weeds. Only one place has been tidied up.
At this time, a little eunuch walked over quickly carrying a food box. He pushed open the dark red door with peeling paint.
"It's really unlucky to have to serve such a thing all day long." The little eunuch muttered in a low voice.
"Come out, come out to eat!"
Entering the courtyard, the little eunuch began to shout loudly.
Although this is a corner of the palace, no one usually comes here, so no matter how loud the little eunuch is, he will not bump into anyone.
With a creak, the door of a room was opened, and a thin little girl walked out of it. The girl looked about thirteen or fourteen years old. Although she was well-dressed, she looked a little sallow and thin.
"Little Qian's father-in-law." The girl timidly called the little eunuch.
Bang!
The little eunuch placed the food box heavily on the stone table in the courtyard, and looked after the girl impatiently: "Eat quickly, I have something else to do, and I don't have time to delay here with you."
The girl walked to the stone table without saying a word, used her thin arms to open the heavy food box with difficulty, and then took out the food in the box.
After seeing the food in the box clearly, the girl was silent for a few seconds, and then looked at the little eunuch pitifully, "Little Qian father-in-law, is this all there? I remember mine..."
Before the girl could finish her words, the little eunuch interrupted her rudely, "What nonsense are you talking about? It's good to have something to eat. You are so picky. Do you really think you are a princess?"
The girl was so frightened that she could only sit down with tears in her eyes, picked up the chopsticks, and reluctantly picked up the porcelain bowl with only white rice, and kept pulling it into her mouth.
The little eunuch stared at the girl for a while, and suddenly felt that the useless princess was getting more and more beautiful as she grew older. For a while, an ulterior thought quietly arose in his heart.
"After dinner, come into the room. I have something to tell you." The little eunuch said to the girl in a cold voice.
The girl didn't dare to refuse, so she nodded gently and agreed.
After dinner, the girl walked into the room as the little eunuch ordered. It was almost evening, and the room was dark because there were no lights.
Suddenly, the girl seemed to hear the sound of the door being locked. At the same time, someone suddenly hugged her from behind, and the person took a deep breath on her neck.
This creepy feeling made the hairs all over the girl's body tremble.
"Ahhh!" The girl screamed and struggled violently, "Little Qian father-in-law, what are you doing! What are you doing!"
"What should I do?" Little Qian's father-in-law gasped, with perverted animal lust in his voice, "What do you think? Of course I love you very much!"
The young eunuch knew that the high-status eunuchs in the palace all had their own rival palace maidens. He had always envied those high eunuchs, so he wanted to experience the life of the high eunuchs today.
"Let me go! Let me go! I'm a princess, you can't offend me!" The girl cried and struggled.
But her words seemed to irritate the little eunuch, who suddenly threw the girl away and said viciously: "Princess? You dare to call yourself a princess? Do you think His Majesty still remembers you?"
The girl fell to the ground and backed away in horror, but the little eunuch approached her step by step with a sinister smile.
"No, no, I am a princess, you can't do this!" The girl begged the little eunuch with tears in her eyes.
"Jiejiejie~"
The little eunuch rushed over and tore the girl's clothes constantly. The girl struggled hard and accidentally cut his cheek with her nails.
Feeling the burning sting on his face, the little eunuch stopped his movements and suddenly stared at the girl with a sinister look on his face, "You dare to hurt me?"
After saying that, he slapped the girl's head to the side. The back of the girl's head hit the edge of the chair next to her, and then she lay motionless on the ground. The blood slowly flowed from the back of her head. Slowly flow out.
Seeing this scene, the little eunuch was shocked. He backed away in horror, "I didn't mean it, I didn't mean it, you bumped into it yourself..."
After saying that, he turned around and ran out of the room.
At this time, the girl's consciousness has not dissipated, and there are still tears hanging from the corners of her eyes.
"Uncle...uncle...you said...that you would come to pick up Chun'er..."
As the blood flowed rapidly, the girl's body quickly became cold. She was unwilling to give in and her eyes widened.
At this time, a beautiful figure appeared in her sight and asked in a soft voice: "Do you want to live?"
think! I want to live!
The girl moved her lips, but she didn't make any sound.
But the visitor seemed to hear the strong cry in her heart. She smiled and nodded, "Very good. Are you willing to pay the price in order to survive?"
willing! Yes, as long as I can survive, I am willing to pay any price!
The girl's eyes burst with a strong desire for survival, and... hatred!
"Remember, from now on, your life belongs to me!"
I saw a piece of white steamed bun in the hand of the visitor. She stuffed the steamed bun into the girl's mouth, and the girl immediately felt the fragrance in her mouth.
It tastes like meat!
The girl couldn't remember how long it had been since she had eaten meat.
As the white steamed bun turned into a stream of warmth and entered the girl's body, the girl's face recovered its blush at a speed visible to the naked eye, and she looked even healthier than before the injury.
The little eunuch who was running away suddenly stopped halfway. He thought: I can't just run away. Even if the girl dies, what does it have to do with me? She fell to death herself!
Thinking like this, he ran back again. He wanted to go back and tidy up the body so that no one could see that she had been violated during her lifetime.
The little eunuch hurriedly ran back to the cold palace, returned to the room, opened the door and saw that the place where the body originally lay was empty, leaving only a pool of blood there.
Where are people? Isn't he dead?
It would be better if he didn't die, so as to save him from having to report it.
"Little money father-in-law~"
Suddenly a voice came from behind the little eunuch, and it belonged to the girl. But for some reason, he always felt that the girl's tone was sinister, but when he tasted it carefully, it seemed that it was no different from her usual timid tone.
The little eunuch suddenly turned around and glared at the girl fiercely, "How dare you pretend to be dead..."
Just after he finished speaking, he felt a stabbing pain in his abdomen. He saw the girl opposite him holding a snow-white bone knife and stabbing it hard into his stomach.
"you……"
The little eunuch wanted to say something, but the blood spurting from his mouth stopped him.
Seeing that the little eunuch was not dead yet, the girl held the bone knife tightly and pushed it closer into his flesh and blood. Finally, the little eunuch fell straight to the ground, his eyes wide open, looking in disbelief.
"Dead...dead..."
The girl's hands were covered in blood and she took two steps back in fear.
"Very well, you did well."
At this time, a figure walked out of the darkness. Her appearance was stunning, but she had the head of a human and the body of a snake.
This person is the incarnation of Chang Yue who has just arrived in the Great Zhou Palace through the Blessed Land.
"Teacher...Master."
Seeing Chang Yue, the girl screamed with joy, not at all afraid or looking at him strangely because of Chang Yue's weird appearance.
"Is it really okay if I kill him?" the girl said worriedly.
"It's just a little eunuch. Is it unusual for you to have a little eunuch disappear from the palace? If nothing else, it's me."
Changyue didn't care. With a slight wave of her hand, the little eunuch's body turned into an ice sculpture, and in the girl's astonished eyes, it turned into fragments and dissipated in the air.
In this way, Chang Yue temporarily stayed with the girl.
——————
Changyue's body is refining the elixir.
More than two years ago, Chang Yue received a prescription called Blood Burning Pill from a White Lotus cultist. In the past two years, she has been studying and improving this prescription, trying to get rid of its side effects. .
For this reason, Changyue also discussed it with Xiaobai through the mouth of the incarnation.
After two years of research, she still failed to remove the side effects of the elixir, but she succeeded in improving it.
The improved elixir can help a warrior break through directly from the Pulse Opening Realm to the Yuan Condensing Realm, but the side effect is that he will not be able to continue to break through to higher realms in his life.
This side effect is also great, but in terms of value, the improved elixir is much higher than the previous blood-burning elixir.
Not all warriors in this world aim to climb the limits of martial arts. Some people may even be unable to break through to the Condensing Yuan Realm in their lifetime due to various constraints (or skills, qualifications, resources, etc.).
Most of the warriors at the bottom are just like a dog, and what they pursue is not the great path, but survival.
For example, Mingyue City has gathered a large number of warriors in the past two years, but how many Condensation Realm masters are there? I'm afraid it's less than one thousandth.
In addition to the three parties of the Fifth Family, the Black Market, and the City Lord's Mansion, the Ning Yuan Realm is already an absolute master in Mingyue City.
Changyue possessing this elixir means mastering the ability to mass-produce Condensation Realm masters!
Of course, not all warriors in the Pulse Opening Realm can use this elixir to break through to the Condensing Yuan Realm. There are conditions for taking this elixir, that is, the cultivation level must be above the sixth level of the Pulse Opening Realm.
This restriction is not high.
Chang Yue named this improved elixir Ji Yuan Dan.
The materials for refining the Forbidden Yuan Pill are not very rare, but they require a large amount of blood of alien beasts. This Changyue entrusted Ding Ning to help purchase it on the black market.
As more and more strange beasts are born in Daqing Mountain, the blood of strange beasts is not too difficult to acquire in Mingyue City now.
In the past two years, Chang Yue has often helped Ding Ning and Mr. Mo refine the elixirs needed for their cultivation, so they have always had a good relationship with Fengshuang Weapons Store and have become friends with Ding Ning.
Most of the weapons currently used by the members of Cangyue Pavilion were ordered by Changyue from Fengshuang Weapons Store, and the forger was Ding Ning.
With Ding Ning's forging skills, although he couldn't create any magical weapons, he was more than enough to make weapons used by ordinary warriors.
It took nearly a day for Chang Yue to refine more than ten bottles of Forbidden Yuan Dan, each containing ten pills.
Now Changyue's fire-burning boy has changed from Mulberry Ye to A Cai.
Putting the last batch of refined elixirs into the jade bottle, Chang Yue said to A Cai: "Okay, A Cai, put out the fire."
"Yes, miss!"
Ah Cai raised his hand and waved it gently, and the fire was immediately extinguished. His white rainbow palm already had a bit of the fire of Granny Feng, which showed that his understanding was pretty good.
"You pack up this alchemy stove, firewood and everything else. I'll go out and tell Granny Feng and Sang Ye when they come back." Chang Yue told A Cai.
Sang Ye and Granny Feng were both in Lihua Village at this time, because today was the day for pear picking in Lihua Village. In order to prevent Xiaoxiao from causing trouble, they had no choice but to sit there.
Changyue's ice pears have never been sold to outsiders. She usually picks them and transports them back to Li's Mansion, and then distributes them to the young masters and ladies in the house.
Of course, the head of the family, Li Changming, and the old lady Luo Fengqiao are also indispensable.
Whenever this happens, the eldest lady will send someone to give Chang Yue a sum of money.
Although Changyue did not send the fruit for money, since the eldest lady sent it, she would not refuse it. This could be regarded as a tacit understanding between them.
With the help of Changyue and these ice pears, the cultivation of the young masters and ladies in the mansion has become much smoother.
"I understand, miss, don't worry." A Cai nodded.
Ah Cai, who is less than thirteen years old, is almost a month tall and looks like a calf.
After leaving Li Mansion, Chang Yue went straight to Cang Yue Pavilion.
Seeing Yu Ruyi, Changyue asked, "Is everyone ready?"
The person Chang Yue refers to is the person who will test the medicine. About a few months ago, Yu Ruyi had quietly helped Chang Yue find candidates for the medicine test in Mingyue City.
Yu Ruyi nodded and replied softly: "Everything is ready. Girl, come with me."
Under the leadership of Yu Ruyi, Changyue came to a secret room under the Cangyue Pavilion.
Nowadays, the underground of Cangyue Pavilion is filled with various secret rooms, secret chambers, and secret passages, all of which have been built one after another in the past two years.
As Cangyue Pavilion's business grows, these secret rooms and secret passages sometimes play a big role. For example, when the Chaoyun Sect sent people to intimidate the Fifth Family, Cangyue Pavilion made preparations in advance to evacuate Mingyue City from the secret passages. preparation.
The secret room that Chang Yue entered was packed with people. She roughly estimated that there must be at least a hundred people.
"I've met the Pavilion Master in White!"
Seeing Chang Yue coming in, everyone stood up and saluted her.
Now Chang Yue Baiyi is also a well-known figure in Mingyue City, and most of the warriors in Mingyue City know her.
Because Cangyue Pavilion's business has grown so much, it has become the largest pharmacy in Mingyue City, so most warriors have come to Cangyue Pavilion to buy medicine.
"Hello everyone." Changyue nodded slightly and greeted everyone present. She scanned the crowd below. Most of the people who came here were warriors who were too old to break through. There were many people in their fifties and sixties.
"I believe you all already know the reason why I called everyone here, so let me ask again, are you ready to serve Cangyue Pavilion? Are you ready to become the herb collector of Cangyue Pavilion?"
"But according to the order of Pavilion Master Bai!" Everyone said in unison.
