Chapter 1918 Anle Palace Invites

Han Anguo’s return gift was very interesting.

Zhang Xuezhou originally thought that the two servants were carrying a mahogany box that contained hundreds of taels of silver. But when he opened the box, he found that it was filled with dried herbs.

In the center of the vanilla is a porcelain bottle containing elixir.

This wooden box only looks big, but it is actually very light.

Looking at the words "one fortune pill" marked on the porcelain bottle, Zhang Xuezhou couldn't help but sigh that Han Anguo was indeed a wonderful person.

The value of the Good Fortune Pill is self-evident as it was carried by two servants personally.

For some practitioners, five hundred taels of gold could not even buy a qualified fortune pill, so this was worth it for these two people to carry it solemnly into the room.

Han Anguo's pill obviously contains a blessing. It is a gift from the heart, hoping that Zhang Xuezhou will one day enter the realm of supernatural powers.

If the other party was not an official with real power, Zhang Xuezhou's flattery would easily turn him into a clique. He was really happy to make friends with such a kind-hearted monk. As for gifts, Zhang Xuezhou could not find any fault with Han Anguo's gifts, which were much better than making a living from the new emperor.

After eating too many imitation Creation Pills in real life, this was the first time that Zhang Xuezhou got the genuine product.

“This pill is so pretty!”

Li Shaojun was still secretly happy early in the morning that Zhang Xuezhou had wasted a lot of medicinal materials when he failed to cultivate his life-saving skills. He didn't expect that there would be a fool who would come to Zhang Xuezhou's house to give him gifts.

Seeing Zhang Xuezhou open the storage box and take out the nourishing elixir to examine it, Li Shaojun could not help but recognize the elixir.

He praised sourly, which made Zhang Xuezhou look at the Creation Pill and then he stretched out his hand and directly stuffed the porcelain bottle into his bag.

He did not seek any elixir to nourish himself, but simply stuffed it into the bag for safekeeping, to prevent Li Shaojun from doing anything to him after he lost consciousness.

"Are you still on guard against me?" Li Shaojun complained.

"Wait until the Empress Dowager rewards you with the elixir, and then I'll see where you store it," Zhang Xuezhou replied unhappily.

"I'm exchanging my life for medicine, don't have bad intentions and plot against me!"

"Only people with ulterior motives would have such thoughts!"

"You are the one who has ulterior motives and is so stingy!"

"hehe!"

"What are you laughing at? I hate people laughing the most!"

……

Zhang Xuezhou checked Han Anguo's gift and made a fuss with the idle Li Shaojun until Cui Yan's voice was heard outside the door, and then they both stopped talking.

"We are going to Anle Palace," Zhang Xuezhou warned, "Don't mess around and ask for too much when you get there. Let's get through this first!"

"I know!"

Li Shaojun snorted twice to indicate that he would put the overall situation first.

The Empress Dowager was old and blind, and was also infected with the evil spirit of corpses. Without special cultivation methods or good luck, it would be difficult to save her life.

No matter how calculative Li Shaojun was, he would not bother with such a dying person. Even if the Empress Dowager refused to pay, he would just laugh it off magnanimously.

The new emperor became famous for obtaining the Scarlet Sky Sword, but he would still be governed by the Anle Palace. This was not only something Li Shaojun had never expected, but it was also something Zhang Xuezhou had not anticipated.

In addition to gaining the trust of the new emperor, Li Shaojun also has to gain the trust of the Empress Dowager.

The best outcome would be to gain the trust of both. The worst outcome would be that Li Shaojun would be exposed by the Empress Dowager and would have to flee.

"Thank you, Master Cui, for sending me the medicine yesterday. It helped me to recover from my injury!"

The two of them came out together to greet them, which made Cui Yan, who came in to check, blink his eyes.

Yesterday he was seriously injured and on the verge of death, but today Li Shaojun has become so old that he can walk gracefully. There is still an unhealthy red color on his face, but his graceful figure makes Cui Yan envious.

"The Empress Dowager has been concerned about Taoist Li and wants to see if his injuries have stabilized," Cui Yan said.

"It's stable for now. Thank your Empress Dowager for me," Li Shaojun said politely.

"The Empress Dowager mentioned that the Taoist sect is of the same blood and told me to make sure that Taoist Li is in good health." Cui Yan said, "As long as the Taoist is well, Anle Palace is willing to take him over to take care of him and do everything it can to make him recover!"

"My body is... ah~"

Li Shaojun evaded the question briefly, then quickly covered his chest and coughed, his body shaking several times.

"Master Li's illness has just been cured. He is poor and can't afford to lose face. If Anle Palace can treat Master Li, it would be better to send him there earlier," Zhang Xuezhou helped.

"That's what the Empress Dowager meant," Cui Yan nodded repeatedly, "I also brought Doctor Zhao and Doctor Wang with me today to make sure that the Taoist priest will have someone to take care of him on the way back to Anle Palace!"

"That's good," Zhang Xuezhou sighed, "I'm really worried that something bad will happen to Taoist Li in my house. I recruited him, and if he causes trouble, I might even become a sinner of the Taoist family!"

"Don't say that, Mr. Oriental!"

Cui Yan's face changed slightly. He looked at Li Shaojun whose body was staggering, and quickly called out to Doctor Zhao and Doctor Wang.

Two red-robed medical officers immediately ran in quickly.

"This……"

"There are signs of running out of fuel!"

"He's almost out of health!"

Doctor Zhao ran over quickly, reached out his hand to touch the patient, and then spoke hesitantly, while Doctor Wang spoke quickly.

The medical diagnosis of the two made Cui Yan's face change. He felt that Anle Palace had intercepted the medicine that Li Shaojun needed, and he was afraid that it would cause serious harm to the other party's body.

"Master Li needs to be nourished," Zhang Xuezhou said, "He said last night that he was old and weak, and could only be cured slowly through gentle nourishment."

"This injury is not a big deal," Li Shaojun said after coughing, "I have experienced similar things three or five times in the past few years, and I have survived every time. I have some experience in dealing with such injuries. I just need to slowly recuperate and it will get better!"

"That's good," Cui Yan said, wiping his sweat slightly.

For the Empress Dowager, meeting the Taoist Master Ran Deng was a chance to survive, and now the Empress Dowager was placing a ray of hope on Li Shaojun, wanting to see whether this Taoist heir from a side sect in the martial arts world had the corresponding life-saving skills.

He had accompanied the Empress Dowager for many years and was well aware that Anle Palace was trying to gain leverage over Li Shaojun in an effort to create a possible exchange between the two sides.

As long as Li Shaojun can keep the Empress Dowager healthy, everything Li Shaojun needs will not be a problem, even if it means depleting the precious medicine resources controlled by Anle Palace.

This is the situation, they must take Li Shaojun back today.

The bad thing is that Li Shaojun's health is still very bad. He looks so frail that he needs extremely careful conditioning. Especially when the carriage is moving, we need to be extremely careful to prevent him from dying on the road.

The good thing is that things are just as Li Shaojun and others said. After receiving a batch of medicines donated by Anle Palace, Li Shaojun's body has suppressed his injuries. From being dying and lying down yesterday, he is standing and walking today.

This miracle made Cui Yan happy. He felt that Li Shaojun was a man of real ability and might be able to bring some help to the Empress Dowager.

If Li Shaojun could survive three or five such terrible physical events, Cui Yan felt that he must have what the Empress Dowager needed.
