Capital, Wu Weibo Mansion.
In the secret room, Chen Yuan slowly opened his eyes and exhaled a breath of turbid air. After another two days of practice, he finally stabilized the level of real elixir he had just broken through.
And it also ushered in a surge!
If Chen Yuan could only compare with the masters who were new to Tiandan when he was at the peak of Xudan, now he can definitely compare with the veteran Tiandan masters.
That is, almost Xiao Yunsheng's level.
Lowering his head, Chen Yuan clenched his fist tightly, feeling the powerful power inside it. A smile appeared on his lips involuntarily. This was the pleasure brought by strength.
Every time after a breakthrough, Chen Yuan wanted to find a mountain peak to test his strength and verify how strong he was now.
The true elixir in the Dantian is now like substance. If you sink your mind and look inside, you will find that the elixir that is like substance is very extraordinary.
The two streams of black and white air flow slowly inside the true elixir.
A little bit of starlight is hidden in it.
Wrapped by a sacred lotus...
Obviously, the power brought by the Seven Stars Lianzhu has not been fully exerted. Another part of the power is hidden in the true elixir, as if it is accumulating information for him.
Only when Chen Yuan breaks the pill and transforms into a god one day will his power truly explode.
foundation.
Chen Yuan estimated that this was his current foundation.
Only by laying a solid foundation can we continue to climb upward.
Entering the real elixir level also means that Chen Yuan is very different from before. On the surface, he is already qualified to stand shoulder to shoulder with other commanders.
Strength is strength, realm is realm.
Among the eight commanders inside and outside the capital, except Chen Yuan, all of them had cultivation level of Shidan or above, but he was not looked down upon in any way.
There was no one who looked for trouble with him without opening his eyes.
That is almost the same as courting death.
The lessons learned from the mistakes of Yang Hucheng and the fourth prince Sima Ke are now in front of everyone. He is now the target of many people vying to win over, rather than the target of jealousy.
There is now a consensus in the court that Chen Yuan's future is limitless. This can be seen from the fact that the four divine envoys who patrolled the sky came forward to defend him.
Coupled with Chen Yuan's own cultivation and talent, it can be said that there is no one with greater potential than him in the entire court.
At the same time, Jingtai will also pay attention to such talents and cultivate them.
It's just that Chen Yuan himself didn't feel how much Jingtai valued him. To put it bluntly, his current status and title were earned through his own efforts.
Jingtai is just following the trend.
In essence, he has no loyalty to the emperor, otherwise he would have reported on Dao Shen Palace's plan.
Although it cannot be said that Chen Yuan is afraid of chaos in the world, he is definitely an ambitious man.
The eldest princess Pingyang had already vaguely noticed this after Chen Yuan broke through the barrier that day, but she didn't think about it in detail. She just felt that Chen Yuan was young and energetic and had higher pursuits.
As for how high it is...
Um....
It's almost as high as three or four stories.
As for him now, he has only just climbed upstairs.
Chen Yuan squinted his eyes and planned the next step of his practice. The first thing before him was to enter the harem and find the place where the dragon vein suppressed Senior Moro.
Cooperate with several other Taoist masters in the Taoist Temple to rescue Taoist Master Moro.
And from his mouth, he learned his true life experience.
It's not that Chen Yuan is deeply bound to his physical body, but that he is currently in a fog, and his life experience is really weird.
The truth must be known as soon as possible.
To avoid becoming someone's pawn and being tricked without knowing it.
The rivers and lakes are deep and the waves are strong and strong, so be careful.
He didn't want anything to happen to him in the future because of his life experience.
Apart from that, it’s all about practice.
Now that his cultivation has reached the real elixir realm, the next step in his practice is how to break through the heavenly elixir.
As mentioned before, the 'Heavenly Pill' in the Heavenly Pill Condensation Realm, like the 'Heavenly Palace' in the True Yuan Tongxuan Realm, is the most difficult level to break through.
At the same time, it is also a level with a very large gap.
A powerful person is like Jiang He, whose ability is as powerful as that of Zhenren Huayang.
Even weak ones can overwhelm warriors with both virtual and real elixirs.
Even though Chen Yuan is now able to rival Tiandan and kill a so-called number one genius in Japan, he only did that with his full strength.
Only when you face such an opponent in person can you know how strong it really is.
He was able to do this because he was all top-notch, and his technique was the Taixuan Jing. Although he didn't know how strong it was, it was definitely a top-level technique in the Taoist sect.
The method is either the self-created sword technique that suits him very well, or the magic sword technique Abi Dao Sandao guided by chance, which is not weak.
The weapon in his hand is the Five Tribulation Divine Weapon.
The physical body has also reached the state of 'indestructible'.
All these things have been added up to have such strength. Looking at how many people in the world can have such means? But it is still necessary to use all your strength to kill Ito Itachi, who is even entering Tendan for the first time.
He is now good at almost everything except for the secret technique and top-notch movement skills to attack the soul.
Regarding this realm, Chen Yuan has never underestimated it and has always been cautious. If he wants to break through the heavenly palace, he needs to understand his own intention and light up his divine orifice.
If you want to break through the Heavenly Pill, you must clearly understand the meaning of Heaven and Earth.
This was something Jiang He had mentioned to him before, and he had always kept it in mind.
But the clue is not very clear at the moment, we can only wait until we reach this level...
After walking out of the secret room, Chen Yuan raised his head and looked up at the sun, took a deep breath, and ordered someone to pour a bucket of hot water to purify himself. The master of Dan Realm was not close to him.
But he is still not used to it. He has already formed a habit from before.
After cleaning up a little, Chen Yuan walked out of Wu Weibo's house, put on an official uniform, and walked towards the Donghuang City Division, not very fast.
Sometimes, he also likes this kind of fireworks.
In the conversations between passers-by, Chen Yuan also heard some things related to him. It was not about his previous experience in the Xumi Illusion Realm, but about the seven-star continuum.
Although the sky was initially covered by clouds a few days ago, some people still caught a glimpse of the phenomenon of seven stars in a row, but not many people knew about it. It was a pity that when this phenomenon appeared, no one paid attention to it.
As for the actual situation, few people knew that it was deliberately covered up by some means.
After entering the Donghuang City Division, Chen Yuan first inspected the area as usual. Seeing that nothing happened, he prepared to go to the meeting hall to handle some scattered government affairs.
Although he deliberately delegated power and allowed Tao Qingyuan to exercise his rights, he still had to personally stamp his official seal on certain matters.
Along the way, there were people bowing respectfully.
After Chen Yuan's tough treatment of Yang Hucheng, he initially established authority in the imperial city's yamen. After he broke through the Xumi illusion and killed the Japanese warrior Ito with a single sword, his power became famous in the capital. reached its peak.
When those warriors looked at him, they all had expressions of respect and awe.
As he was walking forward, a person suddenly walked towards him. When he saw Chen Yuan, he immediately bowed and clasped his fists:
"This is a humble job, sir."
"What are you doing in a hurry?"
Chen Yuan paused and stared at Wang Teng in front of him.
Yes, this person is Wang Teng, the gatekeeper and patrol angel who had just entered the Donghuang City Division before Chen Yuan.
He was once evaluated as having the ability to understand the mysteries.
He was also one of the first subordinates to fall in love with Chen Yuan, and he seemed to be moving closer to his confidants.
Wang Teng said quickly:
"It was Deputy Commander Tao who asked me to pay a visit to your house."
"What's the matter?"
"The angel has arrived and is waiting in the main hall right now."
"Um?"
Chen Yuan frowned:
"Vice Commander Tao, what did you say?"
"This... I don't know what a humble position is." Wang Teng shook his head and said.
"Okay, I know, you go down first."
"Yes, I resign from my humble position."
Chen Yuan was a little confused. Could it be that Jingtai had something to do with him?
Otherwise, there is no need to send a personal eunuch on a special trip.
With these curiosity in mind, Chen Yuan quickened his pace and soon arrived at the meeting hall. A young eunuch wearing a blue official robe was saying something at the moment.
Seeing Chen Yuan entering the main hall, he quickly walked to Chen Yuan and said:
"Commander Chen, His Majesty has issued an order for you to go to the palace as soon as possible."
"What's the matter with your Majesty's summons? -->>
[Reading updates are slow to load, there are ads, and chapters are incomplete. Please exit Reading and read again! 】
Does father-in-law know? "
"I don't know about this servant, but it's best not to delay His Majesty's oral instructions. Your Majesty is waiting in the imperial study room now. Don't keep Your Majesty waiting impatiently."
"I know, thank you."
Chen Yuan arched his hands.
As long as the other party is not domineering, Chen Yuan will not treat him with a bad face.
After the green-robed eunuch finished speaking, he quickly left the Donghuang City Division.
Chen Yuan narrowed his eyes, looked at Tao Qingyuan and asked:
"Do you know what's going on?"
Tao Qingyuan glanced outside subconsciously, walked up to Chen Yuan and said:
"It seems something happened in the palace."
"What happened?"
"It seems that one of His Majesty's concubines fell into the water and died."
"Dead by drowning?" Chen Yuan frowned and continued:
"Is this accurate?"
Tao Qingyuan shook his head:
"I also heard it from others. They said it happened yesterday, but I don't know if it is true."
"I see."
Chen Yuan nodded thoughtfully.
But I feel that what Tao Qingyuan said is probably not the same thing as Jingtai calling him into the palace. Unless he was killed, it would not be the turn of the Donghuang City Division to deal with it.
Without too much delay, after giving some instructions to Tao Qingyuan, Chen Yuan headed in the direction of the palace. No matter what happened, as long as the emperor called him, he could not delay deliberately.
Otherwise it would be a crime of disrespect.
And according to what the young eunuch said before, it seems that Jingtai is still waiting for him...
interesting.
The imperial study room is located in the palace. It can be regarded as Jingtai's study room. It just needs to add the word "imperial". Some emperors will give it various names to decorate it.
In just a few moments, Chen Yuan passed through the huge imperial city. Although some people came forward to question him, no one dared to question him as long as he said it was the emperor's will.
Standing in front of the Imperial Study Room, Chen Yuan was able to enter after passing the eunuch's instructions.
The decoration inside is indeed very good, with a sense of luxury everywhere, and the various furniture made also have a sense of aura.
Obviously not Fanmu.
Jingtai was wearing a black dragon robe and was drawing something on the table with an expressionless expression. Chen Yuan did not dare to disturb him and stood aside with a bow. He waited until he stopped writing before bowing and saying:
"The humble minister Chen Yuan is here to see Your Majesty."
Jingtai raised his head, showed a smile, and said:
"It's my Uncle Wu Wei who is here."
Chen Yuan lowered his head and smiled.
"Okay, come on, don't be restrained here." Jingtai said.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Chen Yuan raised his head and said softly.
Counting Chen Yuan, there were three people in the royal study room, and the other one was Cao Zhengxian. In Chen Yuan's impression, the governor of the imperial factory followed Jingtai and served him every step of the way.
The favor he received far exceeded that of others.
"Come... take a look at my painting." Jingtai glanced at Chen Yuan and said with a faint smile.
Chen Yuan responded and walked forward slowly. His eyes were horrified. What was drawn on the piece of paper in front of Jingtai was a vision of seven stars in a row!
His heart was shocked, and he couldn't help but speculate deeper. Could it be that Jingtai was related to the previous Seven Stars Lianzhu?
Or is it just a coincidence? ???..coM
"how?"
"His Majesty's paintings are naturally beyond the reach of others."
Jingtai smiled: "This is the vision I saw of the seven stars in a row a few days ago. Today I have a feeling and describe it. Speaking of this, how many days ago did you see this kind of vision?"
"Weichen basically spends every day in practice when he returns home, and he really misses this beautiful scenery."
"Then this painting will be given to you."
"Thank you for the painting, Your Majesty. This will become an heirloom of my Chen family in the future." Chen Yuan agreed with a smile.
"Do you know why I asked you to come here today?" Jingtai's face straightened and he suddenly said.
"Wei Chen doesn't know."
He is not a god and can calculate all the secrets. How could he possibly know what this old boy is looking for?
Jingtai sat down slowly, sipped a cup of spiritual tea in his hand, and said directly without any pretense:
"I am calling you into the palace for three things."
"Wei Chen, listen carefully."
"First, I want to encourage you. That day, you broke through the Xumi Illusion and saved the face of the court. I originally intended to reward you well, but there were still some things in the palace, so I left it hastily."
"Do you feel dissatisfied?"
"Wei Chen doesn't dare. His Majesty's gift of earl to Wei Chen is already a great favor from the Emperor. How can I dare to be dissatisfied with His Majesty?"
"Don't be nervous. You don't need to be too reserved in front of me. I told you before you broke through the barrier. Whether you can become my humerus minister depends on whether you can break through the Xumi Illusion.
Since you successfully broke through the barrier, you will naturally become my humerus minister and the pillar of the imperial court. "
"Your talent is rare in a century. You are a good young talent. I will naturally put it to good use on you in the future."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Chen Yuan showed some flattered joy at the right time.
Jingtai was very satisfied:
"That day you killed Ito with a single blow and were hated by the Japanese slaves. In order to fear that these Japanese slaves would be angry with you later, I ordered the ministers of the royal family to seriously injure him. With me here, no matter what you do, the imperial court will take care of you. You bear it.”
This is of course to show favor to Chen Yuan. Since it has been done, there is no point in hiding it. It is better to make Chen Yuan more loyal to the court and the royal family.
And this incident indeed exceeded some of Chen Yuan's expectations. He had never heard of it and had always been quite cautious.
Even when he leaves the city, he is cautious, just for fear that some masters will ambush him.
"Thank you, Your Majesty. I will die to repay Your Majesty's kindness."
"The second thing is that the Ancestor Worship Hall is about to begin, and you have to start preparing. By then, several commanders from the Imperial City will be needed to guard the perimeter."
"I have been preparing for this matter these days, your Majesty, don't worry."
This sentence is not false. He has been preparing for this ancestor worship hall a long time ago, but the purpose... is somewhat different from what Jingtai thought.
"That's good. I'm very confident in your ability to do things."
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty."
"For this reason, I still have one more thing to leave to you." Speaking of this, Jingtai's face, which was originally smiling, turned gloomy.
Chen Yuan also had to sigh that there is indeed nothing wrong with the saying that being with a king is like being with a tiger.
Jingtai's face change was not slow, he almost didn't react.
After a moment, he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, no matter what your orders, I will do my best."
Jingtai tapped his fingers on the table, pondered for a moment and then said:
"Something happened in the harem yesterday. Concubine Shu accidentally drowned and died. However, I think it is not that simple. I heard that you were famous for handling cases when you were in Qingzhou. I thought about it and decided to leave this matter to you. Do it, don’t let me down.”
Chen Yuan's heart sank, it really came true.
It turned out to be what Tao Qingyuan said. There was something fishy about the death of a concubine in the harem. This was not a good job, but... for him, he could take advantage of this opportunity to search the harem. Again.
There is no need to ask his good sister-in-law for help.
As for why Jingtai came to him, Chen Yuan didn't know. Maybe it was what he said, or maybe there were other plans.
After all, if you really want to talk about investigating the case, you should go to someone from the Criminal Department.
It is not yet known what is strange. There are indeed many offerings in the palace, but these powerful people know it well and will not put their minds on the harem to spy.
"I obey the order."
"Also... don't make this matter public. You carry out the investigation according to my warrant. After the investigation results come out, it is best not to let outsiders know too much."
Jingtai said in a deep voice.
Chen Yuan narrowed his eyes, and his mind couldn't help but spread even more.
Could it be that...Jingtai himself knows something?
Or should I say, the death of this concubine Shu was a bit... disgraceful.
"If you obey the order, you will keep your mouth shut." He thought a lot in his mind, but he didn't show it on his face, and his attitude was very respectful.
"I'm looking for these three things from you. Okay...step back."
Jingtai said in a deep voice.
Chen Yuan took the order, clasped his fists and bowed:
"Wei Chen resigns."
After saying that, he was about to turn around and leave, but when he walked to the door, Jingtai narrowed his eyes, suddenly let go of the teacup in his hand, and smashed it to the ground with a 'bang'.
Chen Yuan also subconsciously looked back.
