Chen Yuan paid no attention to the disturbances from the outside world and had no interest in doing so. If possible, he would rather not be the one in the limelight.
But things in the world are unpredictable and opportunities arise. This is not something that he, a mere alchemy master, can do.
After rejecting Tao Qingyuan's invitation to hold a banquet at the Juxian Tower that day, Chen Yuan returned to the secret room built in the Earl's Mansion to practice. The servants were no longer surprised by this and were used to it.
At first, they thought that Chen Yuan was too young and energetic to handle, so they all felt anxious, fearing that they might offend Uncle Chen accidentally.
But after the actual contact, they discovered that the newly promoted Uncle Wu Wei was informal and spent most of his time practicing or going to Donghuang City Division for inspection and had no time to pay attention to them.
While they were relieved, they also admired this well-known uncle in the capital. They knew that his current status and strength were not a fluke, but were all achieved through hard work step by step.
Chen Yuan did not practice when he returned to the secret room. He had practiced for a long time on weekdays, and what he wanted to do now was to improve his state to the highest level.
Then greet this opportunity with the most complete attitude.
After the transformation of the yin and yang qi, his cultivation level has been raised to the peak of Xudan. After nearly a month of practice, his foundation has been completely stabilized.
Even a breakthrough is no big deal.
When the sky got dark, Chen Yuan quietly left the Earl's Mansion and headed outside the city. From the previous guidance, he could clearly judge that this time was a natural phenomenon, and the movement would definitely not be small.
If this is the case, it cannot be in the capital and must go outside the city.
Otherwise, it will be a troublesome matter once it attracts someone's attention.
And he has never liked trouble.
As the commander of the Imperial City Division, Chen Yuan has a lot of conveniences. Even if the censorship is strict in the evening, he can easily enter and exit the major city gates, and the city gate he exited today is the east gate.
The place he chose was a hill thirty miles east of Shenjing City. This was the place he had set foot on in advance, and he had made some preparations beforehand.
It doesn't have much effect, it only serves as a protective warning and to cover up strange phenomena.
This was enough for him.
The top of the hill was cut into a flat surface by Chen Yuan with a knife. He sat alone on a futon with his eyes closed and breathed. If the black robe on his body turned into a white robe,
It really smells like an immortal.
Night gradually fell, and the sky became dim and dull. As far as the eye could see, it was covered with black clouds. There were not many stars to count, and even the moon was only vaguely visible.
However, Chen Yuan was not panicked at all. He still had some confidence in the Altar of Luck.
...
...
Royal Palace, Star Observation Deck.
This place is located in the imperial city. It is a high-rise building built by Jingtai after he ascended the throne. He basically practices here on weekdays and is very well-defended.
The ones used are royal guards.
There is a guard every hundred steps, each wearing black armor, with only a pair of eyes exposed, giving off an aura of indifference that prevents strangers from approaching.
The aura on his body is also very tyrannical, definitely comparable to that of a master in the Dan Realm.
It's just that he's a little different from a normal alchemy master, a little... bloodthirsty.
Jingtai was dressed in a Taoist robe, with his long hair loose, sitting cross-legged in the air, closing his eyes and breathing out.
Cao Zhengxian, the governor of the imperial factory, bowed to serve, raised his head and glanced at the dark sky above and whispered:
"Your Majesty, would you like to disperse this dark cloud?"
"No need, they will disperse when the time comes." Jingtai responded calmly with his eyes closed.
"Yes, I understand!"
Glancing at Jingtai, Cao Zhengxian immediately lowered his gaze. Although his cultivation was stronger and he had reached the peak of god refining, he was only half a step away from the true king.
But facing the current emperor, he was still in awe.
The majestic and terrifying national destiny was too terrifying for him. In this imperial city, he could not even hurt Jingtai, and he admired him very much.
He has been present in the imperial palace since the founding of the Jin Dynasty, and has passed through several emperors so far.
In his opinion, apart from the founder of the country, he is the most powerful saint today and has the ability to revive the Jin Dynasty, but most of his mind is on cultivation.
Otherwise, the current situation in the imperial court would not be in such decline.
And he didn't dare to dissuade him. He felt that Jingtai had some considerations in mind. Perhaps in his opinion, if he had the power to push everything, the world would naturally be peaceful.
But... is it possible?
Even if Taizu Chu's cultivation reached the pinnacle of this world thousands of years ago, he could only pacify the Central Plains and could not control everything at all. In the end, he only ended up sitting in a state of disgrace.
Of course, this is only the most likely legend. In fact, some people say that after the Chu Taizu reached the peak of his cultivation, he followed in the footsteps of the human Martial Emperor and ascended to the upper world.
"How is Ito Shinsei?" Jingtai asked softly.
"The royal family cut off one of his arms, and I must have guessed who did it." Cao Zhengxian was shocked and quickly replied.
After the Xumi illusion that day, he was secretly transmitted by Jingtai to teach the old guy a lesson. This was after Chen Yuan successfully saved his face by breaking through.
If he had not passed through, it would have caused great loss to the court.
Then it's not a matter of breaking an arm.
You have to leave your life in the Central Plains.
"Um."
"Also, the fragments of the jade seal that carried part of Japan's national destiny that day have also been repaired, and they are almost in shape now."
"good."
Jingtai's answer was simple.
Suddenly there was an announcement from outside. A guard wrapped in black armor walked to the top of the observatory, knelt down and faced Jingtai, and presented a bright red jade box with both hands.
"Your Majesty, the divine elixir refined in the worship hall has been delivered."
"Um....."
Beijing, Qingyun Temple.
The old patron with white beard and hair was sitting on a recliner, shaking a feather fan in his hand, and seemed to be asleep.
In the west of the city, there is Xiaoleiyin Temple.
Samantabhadra Bodhisattva sits on a high place, twisting a string of Buddhist beads in his hands and reciting Buddhist sutras.
Time passed minute by minute, and the starry sky was still extremely dim.
Chen Yuangu sat on the futon, recuperating his spirit.
What he didn't know was that he was not the only one paying attention to the Seven Stars Lianzhu this time, but this was quite reasonable, given that this was a phenomenon that had not been seen in decades.
Many powerful people with advanced cultivation can observe it in advance.
Three quarters of a hour.
About early morning.
There were finally some changes in the void. For some reason, the dark clouds covering the sky and the earth began to gradually dissipate, replaced by a bright moon hanging in the sky.
And in the east of the bright moon, several bright stars began to get closer.
In just a short moment, they formed a line in the starry sky.
A natural phenomenon, seven stars in a row.
It only took a short time for the black clouds to dissipate and the seven stars to connect. If you hadn't been paying attention to this matter, you would have been easily confused.
And Chen Yuan also opened his eyes, with a glimmer of light flashing in his eyes.
Looking up at the starry sky, he began to close his eyes again, using his mind to stir up the altar of luck deep in his consciousness. For this rare treasure,
He has no way to control it, but he can observe its existence when he meditates quietly late at night.
Royal Palace, Star Observation Deck.
At the moment when the seven stars connected in a row, Jingtai, who was hanging in the void, opened his eyes almost at the same time as Chen Yuan, and his whole body state was raised to the highest level.
Below it, rays of light began to rise.
Get ready to start catching the stars.
The function of this star observatory is to attract starlight, and there is a magic method inside it. The intertwined rays of light shoot straight into the sky. At this moment, Jingtai also opened the bright red jade box that he presented before.
A red pill the size of a baby's fist was revealed inside.
The red magic elixir floated slowly and was swallowed by Jingtai. The technique immediately began to operate. The Taoist robe on his body moved automatically without wind, and the vitality of the surrounding world surged instantly.
When the seven stars in the nine heavens were connected in a line, they suddenly became brighter. Their light even covered the bright moon on the side, due to the connection of the formation.
Seven rays of starlight converged into a beam of light and began to go straight to the location of the star observatory.
Practice!
Jingtai also wanted to practice. Only by attracting this starlight and combining it with the formation method could he temporarily cover up the national destiny surrounding him and make a breakthrough.
Qingyun Temple.
The old viewer slowly opened his eyes, picked up the feather fan at hand, and seemed to be preparing to fan himself.
Xiaoleiyin Temple.
Samantabhadra Bodhisattva suddenly stopped while twisting the beads in his hand. He looked up at the sky and was about to throw the beads out.
At this moment.
Just when the seven-star beam of light was about to fall on the capital, it suddenly turned to the east.
In Chen Yuan's eyes, it was a faint cyan swimming dragon that directly enveloped the falling starlight and headed straight for him, and he did not stop.

sp; Immediately opened his mouth and spit out an illusory pill that slowly floated in the void.
The cyan luck carried the starlight and penetrated directly into the virtual core floating in the void.
The void suddenly suffocated, as if it had suddenly paused.
Immediately afterwards, Chen Yuan's Xudan shone brightly, directly echoing the seven stars hanging in the starry sky. The next moment, a powerful aura directly enveloped the entire hill.
...
...
"who is it!!!"
In the palace and on the observatory, Jingtai watched this scene in disbelief, watching helplessly as the falling starlight instantly turned and rushed somewhere in the east.
Covered in the night sky.
After the shock came the anger!
His observatory has been built for decades and has never been defective, which has helped him a lot.
And he had already observed a year ago that there would be seven stars in a row today, and he was ready to use this to temporarily isolate the country's destiny and break the pill to turn into Yang.
but.....
But at this moment, something suddenly went wrong.
How could it not make him angry?
Regarding the upcoming phenomenon of the Seven Stars in a row, he has been keeping the news sealed and will never let it leak out. In the past few days in the capital, ever since Japan set up the Xumi Illusion, everyone's eyes have been on Chen Yuan's body.
Even, just in case, he asked the powerful royal family to stir up the void and cover the capital with black clouds, leaving only a moment of time.
But something went wrong!
"Your Majesty, calm down!"
Cao Zhengxian said quickly.
The guards nearby all knelt down at the same time.
The power of God is unpredictable.
Jingtai's face was gloomy and he was thinking about who had the courage and ability to directly intercept the starlight. Warriors under the True Lord simply couldn't do this.
That is to say....
Is he the true king in the capital?
Is it the one from Buddhism, or some important minister in the court?
Or maybe some powerful person has sneaked into the capital?
Just to thwart him?
It seems...shouldn't be the case.
Could it be that he is seeking death?
As for Chen Yuan, Jingtai didn't even think about it. His cultivation level was too low and he was just a master. In this matter, Jingtai didn't take it to heart at all.
I feel like he simply doesn't have the ability to do this.
"Your Majesty, the starlight is heading to the east. Do you want to go and explore it yourself?" Cao Zhengxian then asked in a low voice.
Jingtai squinted his eyes and thought for a moment, then gradually suppressed the anger in his heart:
"No need, the starlight is gone, and there is no use in getting it back."
Of course, his deeper wish was that the person who intercepted the starlight and ruined his good was a strong man of the True Lord level. With Cao Zhengxian's cultivation level, he might just die.
In addition, this matter cannot be spread, otherwise... it will also attract some people's attention to him.
I can only eat Coptis chinensis as a dumb person, and I can't tell the pain.
Fortunately, this incident did not hurt his foundation. If he missed this time, he would have to use other methods to break through the shackles.
"It's an old minister who is useless."
"Okay, everyone, please step aside, I will continue to practice!"
Jingtai's voice rang in the ears of everyone at the observatory.
Cao Zhengxian looked up, quickly bowed and said:
"Old minister, please retire."
Time goes back to before.
Beijing, inside Qingyun Temple.
The old patron looked at the starlight in the void that suddenly turned to the east with slight shock. The feather fan shaking in his hand stopped in his hand. It was obvious that he did not expect this scene at all.
He didn't expect that other than him, there would be someone paying attention to the seven-star continuum, and they would act so quickly and boldly, intercepting the starlight before it fell into the imperial city.
It really is....
interesting.
"Guanzhu, why aren't you sleeping yet?"
A Taoist boy rubbed his eyes and looked at the slightly swaying lounge chair in the yard and said.
"Sleep now, sleep now."
The old patron returned to his original appearance and smiled faintly:
"As you get older, you sleep late."
"Then I'm going to the toilet first."
"Go ahead..."
The old patron shook his feather fan and laughed.
Watching the other party leave, he no longer paid attention to the subsequent changes. He bowed and walked slowly towards a room. It didn't matter who intercepted the starlight.
The important thing is to cut it off.
Xiaoleiyin Temple.
Similar to the reaction of the old temple master of Qingyun Temple, Samantabhadra Bodhisattva's originally prepared prayer beads froze in his hands for a moment, looking solemnly at the starlight heading towards the east.
With his level of cultivation, he couldn't even see through what method the person who intercepted the starlight used.
Simply amazing!
However, just intercept it.
Jingtai's strength is no longer controllable. If he breaks through again, it will be inappropriate for Buddhism. Buddhism preaches that what the Central Plains needs is a weak court.
Rather than a new dynasty that cleans up the ills and revitalizes the country.
This is not in the interest of Buddhism.
He also had no interest in pursuing the starlight. He knew that it was a powerful man at the level of the True Lord. If he was not careful, he might even fight with him.
This kind of fight without any benefit is not what he wants.
Of course, the most important thing is that the other party's method of intercepting starlight is too mysterious, which makes him very afraid. Moreover, the starlight disappears very quickly, and he can only observe that it is turning to the east.
Where to the east is unknown.
There was no way he could carefully search the vast land, right?
Chen Yuan, who intercepted the starlight in the east, obviously did not expect that so many big bosses would pay attention to the matter, and he happened to ruin Jingtai's good deeds through the altar of luck.
When the starlight fell before, he could only feel that the starlight was rushing towards the capital, and he had no idea where it was too far away.
In the starry sky, the seven-star chain began to gradually disperse. When it condensed into a line, it only lasted for a moment, and then it was gone.
Chen Yuan stared at the true elixir hanging in the void. Now the starlight has completely converged, and it is the same as usual, but its momentum is far greater than before.
But the true elixir that was originally illusory is now like reality.
Breakthrough, real pill!
The process went very smoothly, even beyond his expectations.
He originally thought that he would have to practice hard to break through, but the moment the starlight lit up the virtual core, it began to solidify rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.
It saved him who knows how much effort.
Opening his mouth, he swallowed a true elixir.
The aura on his body also began to rise steadily, crossing the critical point of virtual elixir and reaching the level of real elixir.
It took less than two months to go from entering the Alchemy Realm to reaching the Real Alchemy level. If such a rapid improvement were to spread, he would probably attract more attention than if he was on the Billboard.
It's really too fast....
According to common sense, it is easiest to improve your cultivation when you are in the lower three realms. Once you form the elixir, your cultivation will be like a turtle crawling, as strong as the Jiang River.
Isn’t it just the cultivation of Tiandan so far?
One can imagine how difficult it is to practice in the alchemy realm.
But there was no way, who told him, Mr. Chen, to cheat?
No...
He, Chen, was not cheating. This was the reward of his hard work and practice step by step.
After the true elixir entered his body, Chen Yuan did not stay here to stabilize his cultivation. He did not know how big the noise he caused would be and whether it would attract attention.
So it’s better to be careful.
This place is only a few dozen miles away from the capital. For those real people with strong cultivation, it can be said that it is a fleeting moment. He will not take any risks with himself.
After quickly cleaning up the traces he left behind, Chen Yuan disappeared into the night again.
He did not return to Beijing immediately, but followed the direction to the north of the city, where he entered a hidden cave that had been prepared long ago and began to consolidate this sudden opportunity.
These things are still external forces after all. For the sake of his future cultivation, the first thing Chen Yuan does every time his cultivation level skyrockets is to stabilize his cultivation level and polish his foundation.
What do tall buildings rely on to rise from the ground?
It depends on a solid foundation.
He knew this very well.
There was another night of silence, until the sun had just risen the next day and the sunlight was shining on the cave, then he slowly opened his eyes and moved quickly towards the capital.
