Zu An was shocked: "Which two pieces?"
Mi Li replied: "First, raise your reputation! Only when your reputation is higher and more people know about you, more people will be willing to follow you. If you want to build your own team in the future, it will be twice the result with half the effort."
"Raise Wang?" Zu An fell into deep thought, "How to raise Wang?"
"To put it simply, you can do things that others can't do. The more difficult it is, the higher your reputation will be," Mi Li said. "For example, this case of the Crown Princess Qing Yu caused a sensation in the entire capital, and I think the whole world must also be affected." A few people are secretly talking about it, if you can solve the case, plus what happened with the "Phoenix Nirvana Sutra" before, many people will know you by then."
Zu An had a headache: "There is still no clue about this case."
"It doesn't matter if you can't solve the case," Mi Li's expression became a little weird: "Actually, there is another way to make everyone in the world recognize you."
"What?" Zu An asked hurriedly.
"You can sleep with a woman that others can't sleep with. For example, if you dare to publicly say that you slept with the queen, you will be guaranteed to be known to everyone in every street and alley in the world. Those forces who resisted the Zhou Dynasty in the world, and even the border wilderness All foreigners will regard you as their idol." Mi Li's red lips curled up slightly, obviously finding this proposal very interesting.
Zu An: "..."
He has not lived enough. If he dares to say this, it will indeed be known to the world, but he will soon be killed by the angry emperor.
"What about the second thing?" Zu An asked angrily.
"The second thing is of course to improve your personal strength. After all, this is a world where the strong are respected." Mi Li also put away her smile and became serious, "It's a pity that you are unwilling to use the "Taotie Swallowing Heaven Technique". Originally, that It’s the fastest way to improve. Of course, your concerns are justified.”
As he spoke, he frowned slightly, obviously thinking about how to help him improve: "By the way, I remembered that when I sealed Old Man Mi's cultivation into your body, you couldn't absorb it, which would affect your foundation. But now that your cultivation level is growing rapidly, as long as you can reach the peak of the eighth level, you should be able to absorb his power without affecting yourself."
"The peak of the eighth level." Zu An thought for a while, and now the eighth magic circle of the seventh level has been lit up. He can barely be regarded as the peak of the seventh level. He is still a big realm away from the eighth level peak, although he will improve more and more later. The harder it gets, but at least there is hope.
He hurriedly asked: "By the way, why did you just say that Juyuan Dan is used to help high-level practitioners break through? I have been practicing all the way, and it seems to be fine naturally. There is nothing that needs to be broken through?"
Mi Li explained: "Practice becomes more difficult as you go to the later stages. Low-level practitioners do not have problems with breakthroughs, but after reaching the seventh level, the breakthrough of each level is a big hurdle."
"Many people were geniuses when they were young and broke through to the fifth and sixth grades early. Unfortunately, no matter how hard they tried, they could never surpass the peak of the seventh grade and enter the eighth grade."
"Because after the seventh level, the promotion of each major level is no longer just about accumulating vitality, but also requires your personal enlightenment."
"What do you realize?" Zu An asked doubtfully.
"Enlightenment!" Mi Li looked solemn, "Starting from the eighth level, you can resonate with the heaven and earth and use the power of heaven and earth, so you must find a way to get along with the world. The seventh to eighth level is very critical, and it also affects your future. Achievements. The more accurately you find the Tao and the more consistent it is with the origin of the world, the greater your achievements will be in the future. Otherwise, practicing cultivation will be like sailing against the current with half the effort and half the effort."
"Haha, I understand this." Zu Anxin thought that he didn't dare to say anything else, and said that he would be able to find it accurately, whether it was water, dry or food... ahem, he could find it accurately with his eyes closed.
"Do you really understand?" Mi Li frowned, "This is no joke."
"Understood." Zu An had seen so many things in his previous life, and he had seen countless similar concepts. Confucianism calls it determination, and Buddhism calls it ambition. In the final analysis, it's all about finding the path that suits you best.
"Then what is your way?" Mi Li asked curiously. The other party is now close to the peak of the seventh rank, and he can indeed start to consider this issue.
Zu An subconsciously replied: "My way is to hope that one day, no matter who's way in the world, I can enter if I want to."
Mi Li: "???"
Although I couldn’t quite understand it, I always felt like this guy was driving.
Hey, what do you mean by driving? This guy always has so many messy terms in his mind.
She shook her head, dispelled some messy thoughts, and continued: "In order to help themselves enlighten themselves, these practitioners in the world will use some elixirs to condense the vitality in their bodies, so that the ethereal vitality can be condensed into liquid or even solid. Use that mysterious process to understand the origin of the world. Everyone has different talents and thinking, and the things they perceive are often very different."
Zu An's eyes lit up, could the origin of the world be the formation of the universe?
Alas, people in this world don’t care about science. Blind people cannot understand the whole picture. The Tao they understand is naturally diverse. It cannot be said that the Tao they understand is wrong, but it is only a scale and claw of the original source. Even if all the Tao are combined, At the same time, it is probably far from the origin of the world.
However, although the technology in the previous life was advanced, the understanding of the universe was also far behind.
Mi Li didn't know that he had already realized a lot, so he continued: "The Yuan Gathering Pill you just refined is a pill that helps condense the vitality in the body."
Zu An was a little disappointed: "No wonder I didn't feel that my cultivation level improved after eating it."
Mi Li hesitated and said, "Not only now, even if you reach the peak of the seventh level, this Yuan Ju Dan will not be of much use."
"Why, can't it help me condense my vitality?" Zu An asked hurriedly.
Mi Li said: "You are practicing the "Phoenix Nirvana Sutra", "Hongmeng Yuanshi Sutra" and "Taotie Devouring Heaven Technique", these supreme scriptures. The way of cultivation is different from others. Haven't you noticed? Is it more difficult than others to practice these magical skills every time you advance to a level?"
Hearing these words, Zu An burst into tears: "Finally someone understands me. Those protagonists use cheats to make rapid progress. How can I practice like a tortoise and a hare? Well, ordinary practitioners are like rabbits, and I am..."
Mi Li said calmly: "Then you haven't noticed that your combat power is much stronger than others at the same level?"
Zu An was startled, it seemed that he was too, he had never figured it out all this time.
The reason why.
Mi Li said: "Although I was sleeping deeply during this period, I was also thinking about your problem. Now I roughly understand that the reason why your practice is slow and that each upgrade requires much more energy than others is because you From very early on, you have been condensing and refining your vitality automatically. Unlike ordinary people who condense it into a liquid and solid, your vitality exists in a state that I can’t understand. In other words, you have made someone else’s seventh-grade peak, eighth-grade, etc. in advance. Things that only people at the peak, ninth-level peak... can do, but ordinary people will often be stuck on these thresholds for many years, or even a lifetime."
Zu An: "..."
Mi Li continued: "And according to my observation, the intensity and quality of your condensed vitality exceed the level of a master, or even a grand master."
Zu An raised his eyebrows: "I finally feel comfortable. Do you still have any more? Continue to praise me."
Mi Li snorted: "Don't be complacent. Although the quality of your energy exceeds theirs, the quantity and state are still far behind. It won't be difficult for them to crush you to death."
Zu An looked depressed: "I'm not as aggressive as you."
At the same time, he took out the remaining Yuan Ju Dan and said, "Hey, after practicing so hard for so long, I didn't expect it to be useless."
Thinking of how much material he had scrapped and the huge hopes he had at the beginning, he felt extremely painful.
"That's not necessarily the case. Although you have no use for this pill, there are people who can use it." Mi Li said.
"Who? You?" Zu An immediately gave up the idea. Mi Li is now a soul body, and even if she is an entity, with her cultivation, she should have passed the period of needing the Yuan Gathering Pill.
It sounds really curious. She is obviously a spirit body, so why can she still wear clothes and skirts?
You must know that the red dress she is wearing now was bought by him, and there are many similar beautiful dresses in Liuli Baozhu.
"Where are you looking?" Mi Li glared at him angrily, and then continued, "Well, that vixen might need it."
Zu An was stunned, followed her gaze, and saw Daji sitting by the medicine stove.
She already had a stunning appearance, but now she was sitting there quietly, wearing a white dress, making her whole person look even more ladylike and fairy-like.
"I really didn't expect that a peerless enchantress who brought disaster to the country and people would be as pure as a little white flower." Even Mi Li also sighed in the same way.
Zu An came back to his senses: "Is Juyuan Pill useful to her?"
"You can try it." Mi Li came to Daji's side, her eyes full of curiosity.
You must know that she wanted to temporarily borrow Daji's body, but she couldn't get in, so she was very curious about how Daji existed now.
Zu An looked at the two women in front of him. One was in a red dress like fire, and the other was in fluttering white clothes. They reflected each other. It was really like human faces and peach blossoms complementing each other.
He came to Daji and gave her the Juyuan Pill. Seeing her red lips slightly open as she swallowed softly, he couldn't help but swallow. The peerless enchantress is the peerless enchantress, even if she has not regained her consciousness. , is also so charming.
"Beast." His swallowing action obviously did not hide the words from Mi Li who was standing beside him, and she snorted with disdain.
Zu An's face heated up. Just as he was about to say something, he was suddenly startled because a line of words appeared on the virtual keyboard screen in his mind:
"Valkyrie skill upgrade materials detected..."
Zu An was startled and hurriedly read it carefully. Only then did he discover that Daji's three skills "Tianmo Meiyin", "Fox Mei Tianxia" and "Nine-tailed Demon Fox" can be upgraded. They were only level 1 at the beginning. The higher the level, the greater the power of each skill.
"Why does it feel so similar to some games?" Zu An complained. In his previous life, he was a keyboard warrior and an otaku who played games a lot, so he was naturally familiar with this setting.
He took a rough look and found that each skill has ten levels, and no matter which skill it is, each upgrade requires the same things, so the first thing to consider is which skill to upgrade first.
After all, he didn't have so many resources to spread the rain and dew evenly. His experience playing games in his previous life made him understand that even the rain and dew would spread only sparsely.
He looked carefully at the materials required for upgrading and had a strange expression for a moment.
Upgrading a skill from level one to level two requires three materials: two Yuan Ju Dan, four dragon scales and ten thousand taels of silver.
Zu An couldn't help complaining about this cheating system. Why do you need silver to upgrade skills?
Although ten thousand taels is not much for him now, it is certain that as the level goes higher and higher, the amount of silver needed will definitely increase significantly.
I have been cheated by countless game manufacturers in my previous life. Every time I play, what I lack the most are these resources, and in the end I am forced to spend money.
As for the four dragon scales, it was a coincidence. He didn't have any others. There were so many dragon scales. Whether it was the red dragon from Mingyue City before or the old dragon man who chased him on the way to Beijing, their bodies were still in Liuli. The orb is stored in it, but I haven't figured out how to make full use of it. Now it has finally found its home.
All we need now is a Juyuan Pill!
So he told Mi Li what he had discovered. Mi Li was not surprised that he and Daji had a special way of communicating. Instead, she was surprised by this method of skill upgrading: "Hey, don't skills improve with the improvement of cultivation and actual combat?" , can it be so easily improved with external objects? If it can be promoted, what else will other cultivators do?"
Zu An smiled bitterly and said: "I guess this method cannot be promoted."
After all, I have drawn Daji and a Valkyrie so far, so this method is definitely useless for others.
He hurriedly asked Daji to start refining the elixir again. He thought he had succeeded just once, but now that he had experience, it would be easier, but he didn't know that five consecutive batches of elixirs had failed.
What was even more depressing was that when the fifth furnace failed, a black smoke came out of the medicine furnace and exploded to pieces with a bang.
Zu An and Mi Li subconsciously moved their skills to stand in front of them, but Daji was not so lucky. Her fair face was now stained with a lot of black ashes, like a big tabby cat.
Zu An subconsciously wanted to help her wipe it off, but Daji turned away and raised her sleeves to wipe her face clean, then continued to sit there quietly.
Mi Li: "..."
Zuan
: "..."
Mi Li couldn't help laughing: "You little pervert wants to take advantage of others, but it's a pity that they don't buy it."
Zu An looked depressed: "I really just wiped it off."
In fact, he had tried it before. Daji could obey his call and help him fight, but he would never allow himself to have any physical contact with her.
Something happened suddenly, so I forgot about it.
Mi Li looked at Daji with a strange expression: "This maid of yours is really weird. She is so disobedient. Do you want me to help you subdue her and let you train her?"
Last time she wanted her soul to live in the other person's body - even with her pride, she had to admit that with Daji's appearance and figure, she was qualified to let her live in her body, but she didn't know that she was squeezed out by a mysterious force. , which made her very unhappy, so when she got the chance, it was like doing it to Daji once.
Hearing her words, Daji shrank back subconsciously. She didn't know if it was an illusion, but there seemed to be a hint of vigilance in her originally dull eyes.
Zu An shook his head: "No, I'm not that perverted, and she has helped me several times during this time. We are comrades in arms, not masters and servants."
Since these Valkyries are set not to be physically touched, there is obviously a reason. Forcing them to do something may lead to some unpredictable things happening.
What's more, he's not the kind of person who uses force. Wouldn't it be more interesting to slowly increase his favorability level over time?
Daji on the side turned back to look at him, her eyes and expressions not changing at all.
Mi Li curled her lips: "Tsk, this woman is just a skin, and your love is in vain."
Zu An shook his head, not wanting to continue arguing about this topic: "By the way, why is my success rate in practicing Juyuan Dan so low? If this continues, the losses will be too great."
You must know that in this night's experiment, he has used seven or eight of the medicinal materials he prepared before, including some precious medicinal materials. According to this usage, it is impossible to practice a few.
When it came to business, Mi Li also put away her joking smile, stared at the broken medicine furnace on the ground for a while and said: "I just looked at your steps for refining the medicine, and there were no big mistakes. I think the problem is This medicine furnace is just an ordinary pharmacist's furnace for refining medicine, but refining alchemy requires a special alchemy furnace. Finding a good alchemy furnace should solve your problem."
Zu An asked: "Where should I find an alchemy furnace?"
Mi Li rolled her eyes: "I have been sleeping a while ago, you ask me who should I ask? But from what you mentioned before, I think there should be someone at the Royal Academy in the capital."
Zu An's heart moved and he thought of Jiang Luofu and the Xie sisters. Through their relationship, he wondered if he could get an alchemy furnace.
However, the extremely vicissitudes of Jijiu's eyes appeared in his mind again, and his mood suddenly became solemn. He still didn't know why the other party deliberately let go in the first place.
After discussing with Mi Li for a while, I couldn't figure out the other party's purpose.
"It's useless for you to think about this now. The level difference is too far. It's better to think about the things you should be concerned about." Mi Li brought him back to reality. "Before, you sold yourself to get the information from that Hu Meizi." Come out and take a look.”
"What does it mean to sell oneself? What we mean is to each get what he needs." Zu An looked depressed. When she said this, he always felt that he had suffered a big loss from Liu Ning.
He took out the booklet Liu Ning handed him before leaving, which recorded the confessions and investigation results of the palace maids, eunuchs and guards who "discovered" that he and the Crown Princess were having an affair that day.
The two of them read the whole story and found that the original discoverers had mysteriously disappeared.
Most of the others rushed there after hearing the news. It can even be seen from their confessions that Shi Jun also got the news halfway and rushed there.
"Did I make a wrong judgment?" Zu An frowned. If the mastermind behind the scenes was not Shi Jun, then who could it be?
"Look at this record." Mi Li pointed at a paragraph in the booklet and said.
"What?" Zu An leaned over and suddenly smelled a faint feminine fragrance.
Damn it, she is obviously a soul body, why does she smell so good?
Zu An subconsciously looked sideways and saw that the lines of Mi Li's side face were like an outline, extremely smooth and delicate. Because he lowered his head to read the booklet, her hair was slightly spread out and hanging down, matching that perfect side face. What a beautiful picture.
"If you look again, I'll pluck out your eyes." Mi Li said coldly without looking back.
Zu An was startled and quickly looked away and looked at the booklet.
"This..." Originally, he had looked here just now and didn't pay much attention to it, but when Mi Li said it, he looked again and noticed something unusual.
The information on the missing people has one thing in common, that is, they either worked near Xuanwu Gate, or they all visited Xuanwu Gate not long ago.
An electric light flashed in Zu An's mind. He could not find Xinrui's body in the palace before, but the records of entering and exiting the palace showed that she had not left the palace. He had thought that Xinrui had been dismembered and taken out from another door. He was trapped in The vast investigation work is underway.
But looking back now, it seems that one person was overlooked.
What if Xuanwu Sect Sima Ouwu and Xinrui are in the same group?
He was responsible for guarding the Xuanwu Gate, so he naturally had the opportunity to tamper with the records of entering and exiting the palace, and then everyone was led astray in the direction of their investigation.
Thinking of this, he couldn't wait any longer, put on the mask of the embroidered messenger and rushed out in a hurry.
"Oops!" As soon as he walked out, he bumped into a soft body, and the other party let out a crisp exclamation.
"Bold!" At this moment, a startled and angry scolding sound came from the side, followed by the sound of various weapons being unsheathed.
----
Today the two chapters are combined, the update is a bit late, sorry.
In addition, everyone can guess who framed Zu An and the Crown Princess?
