Xu Yuan had seen many mansions built inside wetland parks in his previous life, but he had never seen a wetland park built inside a mansion. This fulfilled the joke about having to drive to the toilet in his previous life.
Walking in the garden, Xu Yuan saw many servants and maids busy.
Consistent with the original memory, some pretty maids in Jingjiang Xu Mansion were not afraid of this notorious dandy.
Along the way, several maids even had the faint intention of getting close to him.
Probably for them, no matter what their final fate is, being listed as the third son of the Prime Minister's Palace is the only way for them to rise in this life.
Walk through the garden and enter the reception hall of Xu Mansion.
The large hall seemed very quiet, and the bright pattern lamps hanging on the wall emitted bursts of light.
In my memory, most of the time here was leisurely.
Only on rare occasions when some important officials from the Jingjiang Prefecture come to visit and give gifts, will the stewards of the prefecture personally receive them here.
The seventh-rank officials in front of the prime minister, not to mention the stewards, and matters such as receiving gifts are left to them.
After entering the lobby, Xu Yuan did not rush into the inner room. Instead, he first took out some banknotes from behind a painting on the wall of the reception hall.
Not much, the denomination is one thousand taels, there are only two.
This huge Xu Mansion is full of treasures, hidden by the original body.
The cheap dad will not care about his ridiculous things, but his two brothers Xu Changge and Xu Changan will.
Even the fourth sister sometimes has to take care of it.
I can't beat these three robbers myself.
As long as he is discovered, all the money he finally saved by selling off his property will be taken away.
Over time, the original body learned very cleverly to break the whole into parts.
This time Xu Yuan made a special trip around the garden outside the mansion to collect the money that he had not had time to take away last time.
In addition to the 5,000 taels previously awarded to Zhou Chen, there was still nearly 20,000 taels left.
If the memory is correct, the original person still has tens of thousands of taels of silver notes hidden in the mansion in the Imperial Capital.
Of course, there have been cases in the past where servants who were cleaning dust stole money, but after the stewards found out and hung them up in public and beat them to death, even if some servants knew about the money, few dared to touch it.
Human life, especially the life of ordinary people, is really worthless in this extraordinary world.
After getting all the money back, the only thing left is to practice.
The Xu Mansion has a dedicated training room with a spiritual spring built in. The inner energy is locked by a spiritual locking formation so that it cannot leak out.
The practice room is divided into inner and outer courtyards.
The source of Qi in the outer courtyard is relatively thin, so the servants of the courtyard can use it at will in their free time.
If the inner courtyard is full of energy, you need to pay timely silver tael fees, or make contributions within the prime minister's government in exchange for the reward time limit.
Xu Yuan naturally does not have to follow these rules.
Under the respectful guidance of the concierge, he directly entered the innermost room where the spiritual spring was.
After the concierge left, Xu Yuan took out the Source Crystal that Xu Changge gave him, took some medicine, closed his eyes and started to use the technique to breathe out Source Qi.
Zhou Chen came here the next day.
After making arrangements for the things Xu Yuan asked to find out, he immediately rushed to the room where Xu Yuan practiced.
Because he said that his skills can assist Xu Yuan in his cultivation.
this point,
He didn't forget.
...........
Cultivation takes no time.
Xu Yuan discovered that Zhou Chen's skills were extremely effective in assisting his practice.
After the spirit soul introduces Qi into the acupoints and meridians, even the top technique such as the Blood Yuan Xin Yue Jue needs to be run along the acupoints and meridians for more than ten rounds to convert these natural Qi into one's own source Qi.
And with Zhou Chen assisting in refining, Xu Yuan's technique only needs to be run for one or two rounds to achieve complete refining, and there is no need to distractedly control the soul to gather Qi.
Xu Yuan was confused by the nearly tenfold improvement in his cultivation speed, but after adapting, he was ecstatic.
You must know that the reason why the innate Taoist body is called the innate Taoist body is that there are almost no bottlenecks before reaching the level of Grand Master.
At this speed, his strength will grow extremely quickly.
Practice, practice, practice again.
With the blessing of various BUFFs such as top elixirs, source crystals, spirit locking formations, and Zhou Chen's refining assistance, the speed of innate Taoist cultivation can only be described as thousands of miles a day...
I don’t know how much time has passed,
There was silence in the secret room lit by the bright pattern lamp.
The young master in brocade robes sitting cross-legged in the middle was still quietly breathing with his eyes closed, while the stubble-bearded man beside him had faint beads of sweat on his forehead.
Zhou Chen looked at Xu Yuan who was practicing with his eyes closed in front of him with a pained face. He wanted to open his mouth several times, but finally swallowed his words.
For ten days, the third young master has not moved from his nest.
When he was hungry, he took out a cup from the Sumeru Ring and drank a small sip of the spiritual spring. When the potency of the elixir was exhausted, he immediately took out several small jade bottles, took out a few pills, put them in his mouth and swallowed them.
As a great master,
Zhou Chen naturally saw what kind of elixirs were contained in those jade bottles.
Made.
The raw materials for refining these elixirs can already be used to refine elixir powders that can enhance his cultivation, but now these top-level medicinal materials have all been refined into elixirs that assist low-level cultivators in their cultivation.
More importantly, Zhou Chen found that he couldn't stand it anymore.
This third young master spits out words too quickly.
Refining source Qi outside the body and refining source Qi in acupuncture points and meridians in the body are two completely different concepts.
The difference between the two can be said to be a hundred times more difficult.
But after all, Zhou Chen is also a great master.
The Third Young Master is only a ninth-grade body-forging person. Even with the blessing of elixirs and source crystals, he shouldn't be able to breathe in and out so quickly.
It seems...
These three young masters not only have an innate Taoist body, but also
The exercises you practice should also be the best in the world!
After his mind flashed for a moment, Zhou Chen concentrated on running the exercises to assist Xu Yuan in his practice.
Maybe,
Now the Third Young Master is really worthy of his heavy bet.
The practice room was so quiet that the source of Qi slowly surged and circulated in silence.
The technique went round and round, Xu Yuan was like a greedy sponge, constantly sucking in the pure energy around him.
Time seems to have no time in this cramped training room.
until,
There was a soft "pop" sound inside the body.
Like the previous two times, Xu Yuan felt as if something inside his body was broken without any warning.
Is he breaking through again?
Feeling the energy fluctuations in his body, Xu Yuan slowly stopped the running technique and raised his eyes to look at Zhou Chen opposite.
Before he could speak, Zhou Chen took the lead and said with a smile:
"Congratulations to the young master for breaking through the eighth-grade quenching pulse."
His voice was soft but clearly audible in the silent practice room.
After hearing this, Xu Yuan confirmed that he had indeed broken through to the eighth level.
Since I didn't encounter any difficulties, I naturally couldn't talk about much joy.
But breaking through and becoming stronger is ultimately a good thing.
After a pause, Xu Yuan nodded slightly:
"Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Zhou."
"It's okay, I'm just a little tired."
Zhou Chen shook his head and smiled, but his face was a little pale.
Of course, he was just pretending.
Giving support to the ninth grade would not damage his inner energy like a great master, but he would just be a little tired.
But think about it with your head, after Third Young Master has experienced this, he will definitely let him assist in cultivation in the future.
He had to find some benefit from such a tiring thing.
When Xu Yuan saw this, he understood it in his heart, but he didn't care.
If your subordinates really have no desires or demands, then you should worry.
Moreover, there are bound to be many restrictions on helping others refine Yuan Qi. It is rare for Zhou Chen's technique to be able to break through these restrictions.
But apart from money, he couldn't give Zhou Chen what he really wanted for the time being.
After pondering for a moment, Xu Yuan slightly cupped his hands and said loudly:
"Changtian will report the matter to my father truthfully. I would like to thank Mr. Zhou this time."
