Who says sleep is not spiritual practice?

Chapter 22

When it comes to the Nine Turns Golden Pill, Jiang Shan, who has read books in the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion for more than ten years, will obviously know more about it.

He patiently introduced:
"Although the Nine-Turn Golden Pill is rare, it is not impossible to find it, but I know that there are no less than twenty places where this pill is hidden."

"First of all, as the refining formula of elixir, there must be no less than five elixir in the hands of the Chu royal family."

Jiang Qingyu nodded in agreement.

It is well known that the royal family has medicine.

But his expression is not easy:

"Er Niang wrote a letter to ask the royal family for medicine. I don't think it will go so smoothly."

"The royal family distributes one Nine Transformation Golden Elixir to the father every year. This year's share has already been taken. If another one is distributed, it will definitely cause criticism from the officials."

"Even if Emperor Jing Hong thought about the relationship between the emperor and his ministers before bestowing the elixir, it is thousands of miles from the capital to the Jubei King City. If someone intentionally obstructs and lays an ambush on the road, the probability of the elixir reaching the palace safely will not be very high. high."

"After all, there are many people in the capital who are looking forward to it day and night, hoping that the father will die soon!"

Jiang Qingyu remembered that five years ago, King Jinghong of Chu State sent twenty "hawk dogs" to quietly escort a Nine-Turn Golden Elixir to the palace, but at some point the news leaked out, and they encountered seven groups of mysterious forces one after another on the way. Kill!

Within three days, 18 eagle dogs killed [-] people.

Among them are six innate first-rank life star realms, and the leader of the innate second-rank Haoyue realm!

If it hadn't been for the final refusal that King Bei arrived in time with three thousand Qingqi, maybe the remaining two eagle dogs who were desperately protecting the Nine-Turn Golden Pill would have lost their lives.

But what is strange is that after that incident, both the Jubei Palace and the royal family of Chu State investigated the origin of the mysterious force, but they found nothing.

There was nothing on the bodies left by the group of people that could be identified.

But Jiang Qingyu had a vague feeling that last time this group came to reject the King of the North, this time it is very likely that they will take the initiative to get involved in the disturbance.

"Brother, don't worry."

Jiang Shan said in relief:
"If you can get the elixir from the royal family smoothly, that would be great, but if not, the prince has also arranged other plans."

"Nine-turn golden elixir is regarded by many people as their second life, so some high-ranking officials in the court who are afraid of death may have one in their hands."

"In addition, there are some hermit sects or families that have been passed down for hundreds of years. In order to be prepared and improve their reputation, they will also spend a lot of money to buy a Nine-Turn Golden Elixir collection from the royal family."

"My lord has asked Han Chan to be in charge of the contact, saying that he wants to buy a nine-turn golden pill from several forces at all costs. I believe that with the financial resources and background of the Beibei Palace, it should not be a problem to buy a pill. "

Hearing this, Jiang Qingyu felt a little relieved.

The Han Chan mentioned by Jiang Shan is the commander of the hidden guards of the palace, and his martial arts cultivation is the same as Jiang Shan's, and he is the second-rank Haoyue Realm.

There are four congenital second ranks in the palace. Except for the little old servant brought by the second wife Jiang Jing from her natal family, the other three are Jiang Shan who guards the scripture pavilion, Xu Erhu the old housekeeper, and Han Chan, the leader of the hidden guards.

Jiang Shan didn't care about the internal affairs of the palace, but was only responsible for the affairs of the Sutra Pavilion.

Xu Erhu is a smiling tiger, and he is approachable to everyone, but every year, several disobedient servant girls are sunk by him.

Han Chan is the most mysterious and most trusted by the Northern King. He is in charge of all the hidden guards, dead men and eyeliners placed everywhere in the palace.This person is used to hiding himself in the dark and never takes the initiative to communicate with others. On weekdays, only the King of the North can see him.

But his ability is really beyond doubt.

With him in charge of purchasing the Nine Rank Golden Pill, the probability of success should not be small.

"actually……"

Jiang Shan looked at Jiang Qingyu, hesitant to speak.

Jiang Qingyu sensed the strangeness of the other party, and said:

"Brother, it's okay to say."

Jiang Shan sighed, and continued:
"Actually, most of the innate fourth-rank star-picking legends will have one or two Nine-Turn Golden Pills in their hands. When the old sword master came to the palace to borrow books, he once mentioned a Nine-Turn Golden Pill as a reward. .”

"But the prince refused."

"At that time, the prince's illness was not as serious as it is now, and he didn't expect that even if he took one pill every year, he would not be able to control his illness."

Jiang Qingyu frowned slightly.

Does the old sword master Yu Yi have a Nine-Turn Golden Elixir in his hand?

This is the first time I heard of it.

But it's not surprising if you think about it carefully, the innate fourth-grade star-picking realm has already transcended the secular imperial power, and the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir is a priceless treasure to ordinary people, but it may not be unusual in their eyes.

But so what?
Jiang Qingyu laughed at herself:
"Although the old Juggernaut and I have a relationship as a mentor and apprentice, it's not enough to reach out and ask for the Nine Rank Golden Pill, right?"

"Besides, his old man's dragon can't see the end, and we won't be able to find him in a short time."

To be honest, the old sword master was good enough to him, not only taught the "Yu's Sword Classic" to others, but also arranged for himself a future martial arts path in Qianjian Lake.

If I go to ask someone again...

It's a bit of a stretch.

"You don't need to think too much, Junior Brother, I just mentioned it in passing."

Jiang Shan also understood this truth, so he changed the subject:
"By the way, I think junior looks good today, is it because he has made some progress in martial arts?"

Jiang Qingyu admitted:

"It's a lucky thing to get into the first rank of Houtian, but my foundation is relatively weak, and it may take a long time to be promoted to the tenth rank of Houtian."

Maybe more than a year, maybe more than two years.

But he is confident that he will be promoted to Xiantian before the three-year period arrives.

Otherwise, how would he fulfill his promise to the old sword master and go to Jixia Academy to defeat the 32-year-old Fan Yu innately?
Jiang Shan nodded slightly:

"If there is a need, the junior brother can come to me."

Jiang Qingyu smiled:

"You will definitely not be polite."

……

After leaving the Sutra Pavilion, Jiang Qingyu did not visit the seriously ill King Rejecting the North.

After all, in the eyes of King Jubei, his fourth son is still a worthless idiot, and he can't say a few words when he meets him, and he might even vomit blood again.

And Jiang Qingyu also complained about this old man.

Who let it be that 12 years ago, when the royal family of the Chu Kingdom asked their mother Lu Wan'er and elder brother Jiang Qingshu to go to the capital as hostages, the King of Rejecting the North, who had power all over the world and had 15 soldiers, didn't even dare to say "no"!

Both of them have a grudge, so the relationship between the father and son has not been harmonious.

Jiang Qingyu knew that the King of Rejecting the North felt guilty towards him, otherwise he would not have allowed himself to lie on the couch all day and give up on himself without even a single punishment.

As for the six princes and ladies in the palace, except for himself and his elder brother Jiang Qingshu who went to the capital to be a proton, the other four were all educated by the King of the North with sticks and canes.

Including the second brother Jiang Qingjian who is most likely to inherit the throne.

"Fourth brother, brother Qingyu!"

Qianjian Lake.

Just as Jiang Qingyu was about to return to Ziyan Courtyard, a voice came from the left.

He followed the voice.

I saw a young girl of seventeen or eighteen years old, surrounded by several handsome young people, walking over.

Seeing Jiang Qingyu, the girl looked relieved, as if she had found a life-saving straw, she hurriedly escaped from the surroundings of several handsome young men, jumped up and hugged Jiang Qingyu's arm.

At the same time, she smiled slyly at Jiang Qingyu:
"Fourth brother, I haven't seen you for a long time!"
