"Ah? Feng'er, do you think the spiritual energy in this world is richer than before?"
"Is something big going on?"
Chu Zhan asked curiously.
"Who knows, but the spiritual energy is stronger than before, which is always a good thing for cultivation."
Chu Feng smiled slightly.
"makes sense."
Chu Zhan nodded and continued eating.
actually.
There was one thing Chu Feng didn't say, that is, strong spiritual energy was also a good thing for demons, and was even more beneficial than for humans.
It feels like the world is not going to be peaceful again.
Chu Feng sighed in his heart.
Next, everyone dispersed after breakfast. Although Chu Linglong said she didn't want to go to the palace to find Tang Chen, she was very honest and followed her father Chu Zhan into the palace after a while.
In this regard, Chu Feng also smiled helplessly.
Really, a woman's mouth is a liar, even if she is a biological sister.
When Chu Feng returned to his small courtyard, he did not practice immediately. Instead, he sat in the pavilion, holding his chin, with a look of deep thought in his eyes.
"Now my strength has reached a bottleneck. If I want to break through, I can't just rely on practice and Dukang Wine."
"We must rely on elixirs, or go to the Immortal Meteor Continent."
"But the Immortal Meteor Continent is very far away, and there is also the mysterious tornado in the middle. Ignore this for now. If you take the elixir to break through, it will be the Tianhe elixir."
"Nowadays, the medicinal materials for refining Tianhe Pill include Tianshan Snow Lotus and Lianxincao, but what is missing is the mature [Diyan Fruit]."
[Diyan Fruit] is a precious natural material that grows in underground magma. [Diyan Fruit] blooms once every two hundred years, bears fruit once every three hundred years, and then takes another four hundred years to mature.
Calculated, it takes nine hundred years for an [Earth Flame Fruit] to mature!
During this period, the [Earth Flame Fruit] cannot be damaged. If a piece of skin or a corner is broken, then the [Earth Flame Fruit] is considered useless.
Such harsh conditions have made the mature [Earth Flame Fruit] one of the most precious natural and earthly treasures in this continent.
"It would be extremely difficult to get clues about the [Earth Flame Fruit] if I rely on my own strength. It seems that I have to ask people from the Shushan Sword Sect or the Tang Dynasty to help me pay attention."
"For the Tang Dynasty, I will just go find Tang Chen tomorrow. For the Shushan Sword Sect, I have to talk to the steward of Yuheng Palace."
Chu Feng took out the jade slip and used the sealing technique. After a while, the jade slip lit up slightly.
The shadow of a tall woman appeared in the jade slip.
Chu Feng remembered that this woman's surname was Wang. She was the current steward of Yuheng Palace and the niece of the former head of Yuheng Palace, steward He.
Eighty years ago, Guanshi He passed away due to longevity issues, and the person in charge of Yuheng Palace also fell on Guanshi He's niece named Wang after discussion with the elders of Shushan.
Because this niece surnamed Wang often follows Guanshi He and is very familiar with the medicinal materials and elixirs of Yuheng Palace, so Yuheng Palace is also in good order under her care.
"Elder Chu."
After the tall manager Wang saw that the person contacting him was Chu Feng, his watery autumn eyes stared at Chu Feng.
Come again!
Chu Feng secretly shook his head.
He had been to Yuheng Palace several times before. Every time he went to Yuheng Palace, the manager Wang liked to stare at him with his watery autumn eyes, as if he wanted to draw away his soul.
Why.
As for people, sometimes being too charming is not a good thing.
Chu Feng sighed in his heart.
"Manager Wang, I'm looking for you today because I want to ask you to help me with something."
"You're welcome, Elder Chu. Within my ability, I can help you with ten things. That's no problem."
Manager Wang stared at Chu Feng with his autumn eyes and smiled.
Chu Feng:......
"Manager Wang, please help me pay attention to the news about [Earth Flame Fruit]."
"Once there is news about [Earth Flame Fruit], please notify me as soon as possible."
Chu Feng said slowly.
"[Earth Flame Fruit]? This is a very rare treasure of heaven and earth."
"Elder Chu, if there is news, I will inform you immediately."
Manager Wang smiled.
"Um."
After Chu Feng put away the jade slips and ended his contact with Manager Wang, he began to practice the Green Lotus Sword Code to improve his strength.
…
Night falls.
After a huge green lotus entered his body, Chu Feng breathed a long sigh of relief, stretched, then stood up and headed to the front hall.
People are like iron rice and steel. If you don't eat a meal, you will be hungry.
Although Chu Feng could go without eating for a long time with his strength, he still had to eat when it was time to eat.
After walking through the long corridor and turning a few corners, Chu Feng came to the front hall.
On the dining table in the front hall, hot meals had just been served, including braised pork elbow, fried beef with soy sauce, and sweet and sour pork... Among them, Chu Feng's favorite was the ginseng and wolfberry chicken soup.
The ginseng is good, the chicken soup is good, and the wolfberry is the best in the entire Tang Dynasty.
"Feng'er, come here quickly and sit down to eat."
After Tang Yu saw Chu Feng, he waved and said.
While talking, he served Chu Feng a large bowl of rice.
"Um."
Chu Feng quickly sat down and after taking two bites, he discovered something unusual, something strange about Chu Linglong.
"Linglong, why are you so absent-minded?"
Chu Feng put down his bowls and chopsticks and looked at Chu Linglong who was also in a daze and asked.
"Brother, I went to the palace today and saw Tang Chen, but I felt he was weird."
Chu Linglong put down her chopsticks and thought thoughtfully.
"strange?"
Chu Feng was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Linglong, could it be that Tang Chen has changed his mind towards you?"
"If this is really the case, I will go to the palace tomorrow to deal with him!"
After saying that, a fierce look appeared on Chu Feng's face.
My sister cannot be bullied by others!
Tang Chen, this kid, said that he was devoted to Linglong, but it seemed that it was all a lie.
"Brother, that's not what happened. When I was chatting with Tang Chen, he suddenly fell into a daze several times. This has never happened before."
Chu Linglong explained.
"So that's it."
Chu Feng suddenly realized, and then added: "Perhaps Tang Chen just returned from Baoxiang Temple and approved a lot of memorials, so he is a little tired."
Although Tang Chen is already a monk in the middle stage of Nascent Soul and is unlikely to be physically exhausted, don't forget that Tang Chen is also the king of a country and needs to review a large number of memorials. This kind of thing is quite mentally consuming.
"maybe."
After hearing what Chu Feng said, Chu Linglong felt that it made sense, so she stopped worrying about such things and could eat with peace of mind.
…
The next day, early morning.
Censor's Mansion, front hall.
"Mom and dad, Linglong, I'm done eating. I'm going to the palace to talk to Tang Chen about something."
When Chu Feng finished the last bite of donkey meat buns, he stood up and said.
"Um."
"Feng'er, today I am going to the county next to the royal city to inspect the character of the officials. I don't have time to go to the palace. Since you are going to the palace, please give these three official documents to the king. I have already read the contents of these official documents. Yes, I have also attached the rectification opinions, which require the king’s final approval.”
Chu Zhan also stood up, came to the cabinet, and handed three official documents to Chu Feng.
"no problem."
Chu Feng nodded.
"Master, I will arrange a carriage for you."
"good."
The butler was also very discerning and quickly went down to arrange the carriage.
After a while, amid the rumble of carriage wheels, Chu Feng headed to the palace.
A quarter of an hour later.
"Master, the palace has arrived."
The butler opened the curtain, looked at Chu Feng who was in the carriage with his eyes closed, and reminded him softly.
Chu Feng opened his eyes, hummed slightly, and then jumped out of the carriage.
"Master, I am waiting for you by the palace."
"No, you go back first."
Chu Feng motioned to the housekeeper to go back first without waiting for him.
After all, the Censor's Mansion still needs a housekeeper to arrange work for the servants.
"Oh well."
Now that Chu Feng had spoken, the housekeeper no longer insisted and drove the carriage back along the original road.
"It's Elder Chu who's here."
"Last time we were blind and failed to recognize Elder Chu, so we asked Elder Chu to atone for his sins."
When Chu Feng walked to the palace gate and was about to take out the token given by Tang Chen, the two guards guarding the palace gate came to Chu Feng with flattering expressions on their faces.
"Last time?"
Chu Feng was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered the last time he entered the palace because the two guards guarding the palace gate did not recognize him and stopped him.
"It's just a small thing, it doesn't matter."
Chu Feng smiled generously.
Last time, the two guards were just fulfilling their duties, there was nothing to argue about.
"Elder Chu has a huge amount."
For some reason, the two guards finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Chu Feng's words.
These days, they have a stone hanging in their hearts, fearing that Chu Feng will argue with them.
Now it seems that they are completely worrying too much.
"If nothing happens, can you let me go?"
Chu Feng pointed to the intertwined spears of the two guards in front of him and said.
"Elder Chu, don't blame me. I was a little excited when I saw you and forgot about it."
The two guards showed embarrassment on their faces and quickly put their spears behind them.
Excited?
I'm not one of those long-legged beauties with curvy figures, so there's nothing to be excited about.
Chu Feng shook his head secretly, and then entered the palace on his own.
Looking at the background of Chu Feng leaving, the guard guarding the left side of the palace gate praised: "Brother, this Elder Chu is the most unassuming elder I have ever seen. He is really approachable, unlike the elders of some forces who always show off. He acted aloof, looked down at us, and spoke to us out of his nose."
"Don't you think that Elder Chu's status is comparable to that of elders from other forces?"
"That is the leader of the righteous path in the world, the honorary elder of the Shushan Sword Sect. In terms of education and character, he is naturally several levels higher than the elders of other forces!"
Another guard guarding the palace gate said.
"That's right. The shift will change later tonight. Let's go have a drink?"
"What's the point of drinking two drinks? It's better to go to that brothel to "flower and grass"."
"Haha, very good."
…
On the other side, Chu Feng has arrived outside the Jinluan Palace.
"Elder Chu."
The eunuch on duty knew Chu Feng. When he saw Chu Feng, he came to Chu Feng with enthusiasm.
"Is Tang Chen in the Jinluan Palace?"
Chu Feng asked.
"Yes, the king is reviewing the memorial in the Jinluan Palace. Elder Chu is coming with me."
"good."
The eunuch on duty went in front, Chu Feng followed, and slowly entered the Jinluan Palace...
