But don't think that Zhou Shengzong trusts Changyue's elixir.
No!
Zhou Shengzong was heard shouting towards the back hall: "Bring Huan'er up!"
Not long after, two eunuchs came out carrying a stretcher. On the stretcher lay a haggard man.
"Ancestor...Your Majesty..."
The man called Huan'er weakly shouted to the two of them.
"Huan'er, I've worked hard for you all these years!" Zhou Chaoyuan said unbearably.
Huan'er shook his head, "It's an honor for Huan'er to share our ancestor's worries!"
Huan'er's full name is Zhou Yihuan, and he is a descendant of a side branch of the Zhou royal family. The reason why Zhou Shengzong has been able to endure the erosion of the worldly aura to this day is thanks to Zhou Yihuan who from time to time transfers part of the mortal aura from his body into his own body and shares it for him. A lot of pressure.
It is precisely because of this that he is tortured by the aura of the mortal world and looks haggard. He does not have as advanced cultivation as Zhou Shengzong, so now it is difficult to even get out of bed and walk.
However, it was not someone else who forced Zhou Yihuan to do this, but it was his wish.
Although Zhou Yihuan was born in the Zhou royal family, his qualifications were mediocre and his parents were not very promising. His family had always been unhappy, but he had a sister with outstanding qualifications.
In order for his sister to have enough resources to practice, he took the initiative to come to the ancestor and became a container to help the ancestor share the pressure.
Therefore, Zhou Yihuan's sister was vigorously cultivated by the royal family, and his sister was indeed promising. Now she is the commander of the imperial army, and is highly regarded by Zhou Chaoyuan!
It's a pity that she still doesn't know that her brother's pain and torture day after day were the only way to get into the eyes of the emperor.
As early as a few years ago, the royal family announced that Zhou Yihuan had died unexpectedly while performing official duties.
Zhou Shengzong poured out an elixir from the jade bottle and said to Zhou Yihuan with a kind face: "Come, Huan'er, take this elixir. If you eat it, you will be liberated!"
Hearing this, Zhou Yihuan's dim eyes suddenly burst into bright light, "Seriously?"
In fact, Zhou Yihuan misunderstood. He thought that his ancestor finally agreed to free him, and the pill he was given was a life-killing poison.
In the torture day after day, Zhou Yihuan had long lost the courage to continue living. If his ancestor had not agreed, he would have committed suicide long ago.
"Seriously!" Zhou Shengzong replied affirmatively.
Zhou Yihuan was so excited when he heard this that he wanted to sit up from the stretcher, but he was too weak to get up at all.
The eunuch next to him saw this and quickly stepped forward to support him. At the ancestor's signal, he took the elixir and gave it to Zhou Yihuan to drink.
After taking the elixir, Zhou Yihuan smiled with relief and said, "Thank you, ancestor."
However, Zhou Shengzong seemed not to hear Zhou Yihuan's words and just stared at him unblinkingly, wanting to see his changes after taking the elixir.
As time passed by, Zhou Yihuan gradually began to wonder, why didn't the poison take effect?
However, as soon as this thought came up, his body began to undergo drastic changes. His originally pale face gradually turned rosy, and his dry body slowly became plump. More importantly, all the pain in his body disappeared.
"This, this, this..."
Zhou Chaoyuan looked at Zhou Yihuan in disbelief.
"It's amazing, it's amazing..."
Zhou Yihuan soon discovered that he could sit up steadily without the help of others.
He tried to get on and off the stretcher again. The palace maids and eunuchs next to him tried to help him out of habit, but the ancestor stopped him with his eyes.
Zhou Yihuan stood on the ground smoothly and took two steps. He felt that even when he was at his healthiest, he was not as relaxed as he is now.
This is indeed the case. Now Zhou Yihuan's body has returned to the state he had in his prime.
"Okay! Okay! Okay!" Zhou Shengzong's whole body trembled with excitement, and he waved to Zhou Yihuan with a flushed face, "Child, come here and let me have a look!"
Zhou Yihuan walked to the ancestor obediently and allowed the ancestor to touch him here and there.
"It's really good! It's really good!" The ancestor kept mumbling to himself.
"Ancestor, the medicine just now..." Zhou Yihuan asked hesitantly.
Zhou Shengzong said in an extremely kind tone: "Silly boy, that's the medicine to treat your illness. You won't have to suffer anymore!"
Zhou Chaoyuan then echoed: "Yes, my ancestor asked the Holy Master of the Yinxian Sect to refine the elixir, which cost countless rare treasures. My ancestor will remember your efforts over the years! No, just now When I got the medicine, my ancestor thought of you."
After Zhou Yihuan heard this, he immediately knelt down and said with gratitude: "Thank you, ancestor, for your love!"
"Get up! Get up!" Zhou Shengzong quickly helped Zhou Yihuan and said to him, "You can go home after you recover. However, you have been with the ancestor for a long time and suddenly left here. The ancestor is very reluctant to leave, so why not How about spending a little more time with the ancestor?"
Zhou Yihuan almost couldn't suppress the joy in his heart when he thought that he would be able to go home and see his parents and sister soon, but since his ancestor asked him to stay for a while, he had to agree.
"It is Huan'er's honor to be able to accompany the ancestor for a longer period of time!" Zhou Yihuan said quickly.
"Good boy, good boy!" Zhou Shengzong said happily, "It's not in vain that my ancestor loves you."
Next, Zhou Shengzong did not take the other remaining pill immediately, but asked Zhou Yihuan to stay with him, pretending to be guiding Zhou Yihuan in his cultivation, but in fact, he was silently observing his changes.
In this way, half a month passed by. Zhou Shengzong finally confirmed that there was nothing wrong with the elixir, so he sent Zhou Yihuan out of the secret home.
However, after he goes out, he cannot reveal everything about his ancestor, nor can he tell his experiences and whereabouts over the years.
Also sent out of the secret realm was Chang Yue.
In the past half month, Chang Yue has stayed in the secret realm. Chang Yue knew very well that Zhou Shengzong said that he wanted her to help him continue to recuperate his body, but in fact he was just worried that there was something wrong with the elixir.
Now that it was confirmed that the elixir was harmless, he was willing to let him go.
In fact, what Zhou Shengzong didn't know was that the reason why he got the two pills was Chang Yue's intention, and one of them was Chang Yue's plan to test for him.
Chang Yue knew very well that Zhou Shengzong didn't trust him.
A total of six pills were refined in that furnace, but Chang Yue only gave out two pills, neither more nor less.
After leaving the secret realm, Chang Yue learned from Zhou Chaoyuan that Zhou Shengzong had gone into seclusion.
After leaving the secret realm, Chang Yue did not leave the Great Zhou Palace, but stayed here temporarily. It was said that he was teaching Zhou Jinchun how to practice, but in fact, he was waiting for Zhou Shengzong's reaction after taking the elixir.
Only after confirming that the elixir was effective, could she rest assured that Chun'er could continue to stay in Zhou Palace.
The days passed like this, Chang Yue would accompany Zhou Jinchun to practice every day, and would also teach her some medicinal techniques.
Since it has been announced that Zhou Jinchun is a half-disciple of the Yinxian Sect, she cannot be allowed to know nothing about pharmacology. Not to mention curing diseases and saving people, she must at least be able to defend herself and gain knowledge.
In fact, Zhou Chaoyuan really hoped that Chang Yue could leave the Zhou Palace, and he expressed his intention of expelling guests in a tactful way on several occasions. However, Chang Yue was thick-skinned and pretended not to understand, and he could not blatantly evict people, so he gradually give up.
On this day, Changyue was instructing Zhou Jinchun on how to practice the fixed flying knife in the martial arts training ground of the palace, when he suddenly saw Zhou Chaoyuan bringing someone over.
"Your Majesty." Chang Yue stood up and greeted Zhou Chaoyuan.
"Holy Lord Hanlu!" Zhou Chaoyuan also saluted Changyue.
From the perspective of status and cultivation, Chang Yue was equal to or even better than him, so Zhou Chaoyuan did not neglect Chang Yue just because he was the emperor of Zhou Dynasty.
"I wonder what your Majesty is here for today? Are you here to see Chun'er practicing?" Chang Yue asked.
Zhou Chaoyuan glanced at Zhou Jinchun, who was sweating profusely and heroic in the martial arts training field, and was a little surprised to find that his daughter had grown to this point without knowing it.
He still remembered that when Lao Jiu first came out of the cold palace, he was thin and small. Later, because of the donation of his heart's blood, he was plagued by diseases all day long, and his face was pale, as if he could be blown away by a gust of wind.
But now...
Judging from the aura emanating from Zhou Jinchun, she seems to be not far from Zhou Tianjing.
As expected of the Queen’s daughter! Zhou Chaoyuan thought in his heart, he remembered that the queen's cultivation talent was also extraordinary. If not, his father would not have appointed He Long as the crown prince.
Pity……
Looking back with mixed feelings, Zhou Chaoyuan shook his head and said: "No, the ancestor said that if the Holy Lord can cure his stubborn disease, you can choose the treasures in the royal treasury. Today I am here to fulfill my promise!"
Because Chang Yue Lai stayed in the palace and refused to leave, Zhou Chaoyuan had been putting off this matter again and again, but it didn't matter if it took a long time. He simply planned to settle the matter while today was not too busy.
"I see, then it's your Majesty's fault!" Chang Yue said with a smile.
"Holy Lord, come with me!" Zhou Chaoyuan stretched out his hand to Chang Yue and said.
Chang Yue nodded and shouted to Zhou Jinchun who was practicing from a distance: "Chun'er, uncle, I have to leave for a while, you can continue practicing here!"
Zhou Jinchun wiped the sweat from his forehead and responded: "I know, uncle!"
Under the leadership of Zhou Chaoyuan, Chang Yue came to the secret vault of the palace, which contained treasures that the Zhou royal family had collected from everywhere over the years.
Zhou Chaoyuan pointed to the heavy golden door in front of him and said: "Holy Master Hanlu can choose a treasure from inside. No matter what it is, you can take it away."
Only one piece!
Chang Yue was a little disappointed.
But forget it, she didn't come here for the Zhou family's reward anyway.
Boom! ! !
As a golden light shined from the gate of the secret library of the Zhou Dynasty and Yuan Dynasty, the giant door opened little by little.
Before entering, Chang Yue saw the treasure light revealed from inside.
What a charming brilliance!
"Holy Lord Cold Dew, please!"
Changyue nodded and walked towards the secret storehouse.
"You guys stay outside." Zhou Chaoyuan followed Chang Yue and turned to the several forbidden soldiers behind him.
The woman wearing light armor leading the imperial army was Zhou Yihuan's sister Zhou Yinong.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Several Imperial Guards responded at the same time.
After entering the secret vault, Chang Yue was immediately dazzled by the various treasures inside. The precious things inside were no less than those in the Yinxian Sect's treasure house.
Although the Great Zhou Dynasty is not as old as the Yinxian Sect, they have inherited part of the wealth of the Great Qi Dynasty, which was a powerful empire that suppressed the entire Zhongzhou.
Nowadays, no power in the thirteen states can reproduce the glory and strength of Daqi!
Because there were so many treasures, Chang Yue was a little dazzled for a while.
Scanning the rows of shelves, Changyue was suddenly attracted by a small purple jade tablet. She walked to the shelf where the jade tablets were placed and took down the jade tablet, which was less than the size of a palm.
The jade plaque itself is not rare, but it is engraved with densely packed small characters. Each character is not even as big as an ant. This means that people who practice martial arts have clear ears and eyesight. If it were an ordinary person, even with their eyes widened, they would probably not be able to see it. It's unclear what was recorded on it.
Chang Yue's eyes gradually brightened as she saw the content engraved on the jade plate clearly.
Engraved on the jade plaque is a secret technique called "Soul Transferring Technique". As the name suggests, this is a secret technique for exchanging souls.
The person who created this secret technique was a weapon refiner. To be precise, the creation of this secret technique was just his sudden whim.
As we all know, utensils are dead objects, and it is difficult to bring them to life. Even treasures like exotic treasures that are born with nature only have spirituality, not intelligence.
So the weapon refiner thought, since it is difficult for a weapon to create a soul, what changes will happen if it is given a ready-made soul?
With this idea, he created the "Soul Transfer Technique", a secret method that transfers the souls of other creatures to weapons.
As for whether weapons with intelligence have become more powerful, there is no record on the jade tablet.
As a weapon with intelligent intelligence, Chang Yue only knows one Buddha's monk's robe at present, but the monk's robe is powerful because it is an immortal weapon in itself, and it has nothing to do with whether it has a weapon spirit. The weapon spirit only gives it the ability to act independently.
(Note: Long Xi and Long Hao are also weapon spirits, but because the distance between South Burial Sea and Thirteen States is too far, Chang Yue does not know their existence at this time.)
The reason why Chang Yue was interested in this secret technique was because he thought of the Mo family's mechanism dolls.
The reason why the Mo family's machine doll had an accident was because there was a problem in the process of birthing the spirit. But if she uses the "Soul Removal Technique" to remove the problematic instrument spirit, will this allow the empress to have more subordinates? Is there a great killer in the Lingtai realm?
Nowadays, the ancestors of the various forces in the Thirteen States have begun to break through to the Lingtai realm one after another. If the Ten Thousand Demons Imperial Dynasty and Cangyue Pavilion do not have masters of the same level in charge, they will fall apart in a matter of days.
After thinking for a long time, Chang Yue finally decided to choose the "Soul Moving Technique". Although there are many rarer treasures here, for now, the "Soul Moving Technique" is more suitable for her.
Seeing that Chang Yue chose a useless secret method, Zhou Chaoyuan said doubtfully: "Sage Han Dew will choose this?"
Changyue nodded, "That's right, you can't choose?"
"That's not true." Zhou Chaoyuan shook his head and said, "It's just that the conditions for practicing this secret method are relatively harsh. The cultivator must have extremely high strength of the soul. There have been weapon refiners in my Zhou family who want to practice this secret method, but they all If you don’t succeed, over time, no one will touch it anymore.”
In fact, such a secret method is a legacy of the Great Qi Dynasty.
"So that's what it is, but it doesn't matter, I just chose it."
Because of the Plague Ghost Bead and the Zhen'e Golden Lotus, Chang Yue was quite confident in the strength of his soul.
