Start practicing from marrying a disfigured princess

Chapter 4

When he first entered Beijing, Ren Pingsheng didn't know where the White House was.

You can only walk to the main street and ask passers-by.

Arriving at the main street, Ren Pingsheng was a little shocked when he saw the scene in front of him.

This street named Sajin Street is roughly estimated to be at least 200 meters wide. The ground is paved with complete bluestones, and there is no end to it at a glance.

There are row upon row of shops on both sides, which is very lively.

Pedestrians who come and go are even more particular about their attire. Picking out anyone at random is more fantasy than Ren Pingsheng, the son of Zhenbei Prince.

"It's no wonder that literati all say that the northern border is a place of bitter cold. Looking at it this way, compared with the bustling capital, the northern border is indeed a bit shabby."

Seeing everything in front of him, Ren Pingsheng was sincerely moved.

On the other side, Li Yong had already learned the location of the Duke of Anguo's Mansion from the Jinwu Guards who were patrolling the streets, and he informed Ren Pingsheng before leading the way.

Soon.

The two came to a mansion, looked up, and there was a nanmu plaque hanging on the top of the red vermilion lacquer gate, on which were the four characters "An Guogong's Mansion" written by the current Holy Majesty.

"Is this where my mother grew up?"

Ren Pingsheng looked at the door of the mansion, thinking of his mother's figure, he felt kindly in his heart, and told Li Yong, "Go up and knock on the door."

"Yes."

Li Yong stepped forward and knocked on the door.

After a while, the side door slowly opened. The old man at the porter poked his head out, looked Li Yong up and down, and asked, "Who are you? What's the matter?"

Li Yongdao: "Please tell me, Ren Pingsheng of Zhenbei Prince's Mansion asks to see you."

Before he finished speaking, he saw the old man at the porter visibly panicking.

"There is no one you are looking for here, so hurry up."

After finishing speaking, he closed the side door. A lot of young people were very agile, and there was no muddle when closing the door.

Seeing this, Li Yong frowned slightly, and wanted to knock on the door again, but as soon as he raised his hand, he heard Shizi's voice behind him.

"come back."

Li Yong wanted to say something, but when he saw His Royal Highness who didn't care, he walked back behind him in silence.

"Your Majesty's intention to cut down the feudal clan is well known to passers-by. It is human nature that the An Guo government does not want to have anything to do with us."

After Ren Pingsheng finished speaking in a flat tone, he stretched out his hands to straighten his clothes, straightened his back, and bowed to his elders.

Then he stopped looking at the gate of Duke An's Mansion, looked at Li Yong, and said, "Let's go, go home."

People in An Guogong's mansion didn't want to see him, so they performed junior salutes in front of the door, which was considered to have fulfilled mother's wish.

Compared with Yunzhou City, the capital is very large.

From An Guogong's mansion to Ren's mansion, it takes half an hour to walk.

Back at the mansion, it was already noon.

The warm sunshine in early spring shines down from the gaps in the leaves, speckled and especially moving.

Ren Pingsheng sat cross-legged on the stone bench in the yard, trying to run the "Longevity Technique" again.

As before, the body is still unresponsive.

"It seems that the intermission period has not passed yet, so we have to wait."

I have been waiting for 20 years, and this time is not too bad.

For the next time, Ren Pingsheng sat in the yard and waited, performing the exercises from time to time, but the result was no response without exception.

It wasn't until the sky was getting dark and it was almost dusk that Ren Pingsheng felt his body respond again.

From the first operation to the second operation, it is roughly estimated that there was an interval of four hours.

In other words, he can run the "Longevity Kungfu" three times a day, once every four hours, and each time lasts for a stick of incense.

"It would be nice if the intervals were shorter and the duration longer."

That's how people are, they want to be dissatisfied, and when they get what they want, they want more.

Compared with the past, it has obviously been greatly improved, and the efficiency of practicing kung fu has increased by more than dozens of times, Ren Pingsheng is still not satisfied.

But this is also human nature.

After all, except for Confucianism and Buddhism, which rely on luck to practice, all major systems rely on the spiritual energy between heaven and earth.

The longer one can withstand the nourishment of spiritual energy, the higher the efficiency of practice will be.

Which ambitious person does not hope that he can last a little longer?

Ren Pingsheng is no exception.

"From now on, practice once a day in the morning, noon and evening, and hone your martial arts in the rest of the time, so as to break through to the eighth rank before striving for the bridal chamber!"

In the yard, facing the golden sunlight, Ren Pingsheng set up such a flag.

In fact, before he came to the capital, he had already made up his mind that as long as Liu Ruyan was willing to be his wife at ease, even if her appearance was ruined, he would take good care of her, and it was her repayment for giving him the opportunity to come to the capital.

then.

Next, a full half a month.

Ren stayed in the mansion all his life and never went out.

Half a month, [-] times of sign-in, the rewards obtained are all the same, all of which are various attributes.

Charisma +1, Dexterity +1, Wisdom +1, Root +1, etc.
Although the addition of these attribute points cannot bring about a rapid improvement in a short period of time, it can also have a good effect over time.

For Ren Pingsheng, the life of practice is already a trough, and no matter how he goes, he will make progress.

All he has to do is guard against arrogance and impetuosity, live quietly, and become stronger silently.

Nothing more
In the blink of an eye, it was a new day.

In the morning, sunlight comes in from the east window, and is sifted by the hollow screen window into thick and thin beams, shining on the head of the bed.

Ren Pingsheng slowly opened his eyes. As usual, the first thing he did was to open the system and sign in silently.

[Successfully signed in, and obtained the heaven-level exercise "Eternal Alchemy"]

A synthetic voice without any emotion rang in my ears.

A stream of formulas poured into Ren Pingsheng's mind like a sea of ​​rivers.

Another heavenly skill!

After receiving the information about the exercises, Ren Pingsheng's eyes burst into light.

"Eternal Alchemy" is different from ordinary exercises.

It records the formulas and refining methods of thousands of elixirs. Some of these elixirs have strange effects, and some are very beneficial to practice.

After browsing for a while, a elixir called Xisui Pill caught Ren Pingsheng's attention.

Xisui Pill, as the name suggests, can cut bones and wash marrow after taking it, improving aptitude.

"As long as I can refine the marrow washing pill, within two months, I will definitely be able to break through to the eighth grade!"

Thinking of this.

Ren Pingsheng summoned Li Yong, the commander of the guards, and told him the medicinal materials needed to refine the Xisui Pill, and told him: "You should keep these medicinal materials in your heart, don't record them with pen and paper, and don't tell others."

Before coming to the capital with him, Li Yong was the personal guard under King Zhenbei's tent, and his loyalty was unquestionable.

Ren Pingsheng can rest assured that only he can handle the matter of purchasing medicinal materials.

"Understandable."

Li Yong bowed his hands and turned around to leave.

At this time, Ren Pingsheng stopped him again: "Wait a minute, before I come back, I'll buy a pill furnace for refining medicine. It doesn't need to be very good, as long as it can be used, take this 1000 taels of silver with you, and you will be refunded for more and less for it."

As he spoke, he took out a stack of bank notes from his pocket and handed it to Li Yong.

Li Yong took the silver, turned around and left after saluting.

According to the records of alchemy, they are all common medicinal materials, and 1000 taels of silver should be more than enough.

Ren Pingsheng watched Li Yong leave, sat down cross-legged, and continued today's practice.

After half an hour.

Ren Pingsheng, who was practicing his sword, heard a familiar "Shi Zi".

Turning his head to look, he saw Li Yong standing not far away with his hands empty, his expression slightly heavy.

"What happened?" Ren Pingsheng asked.

"My lord, the medicinal materials you want cannot be bought in the medicine shop in the capital." Li Yong replied.

Can't buy it?
Ren Pingsheng was slightly dazed, thinking: It's just some common medicinal materials, why can't I buy them.

"My lord, it's like this"

After listening to Li Yong's explanation, Ren Pingsheng realized that the medicinal materials he wanted were not unusual at all!

Li Yong spent nearly 500 taels of silver and traveled more than half of the inner city to buy back half of the medicinal materials.

According to the shopkeepers of those pharmacies, the remaining half of the medicinal materials are only available in the Baiyun Temple on the Baiyun Mountain in the suburbs of the capital.

When it comes to Baiyun Temple, even Ren Pingsheng, who is far away in the north, knows it.

In the capital, and even in the entire Great Zhou, this Taoist temple has a very special status.

It is only because its master is the contemporary head teacher of the Taoist sect. It is said that his strength is second only to the guardian of the country and the martial saint!
Therefore, to buy medicinal materials in Baiyun Temple, you need not only money, but also relationships.

"The medicinal materials that can only be found in Baiyun Temple."

Hearing this news, Ren Pingsheng fell into deep thought. After a while, he suddenly remembered that his mother had mentioned to him that he had an aunt who practiced in Baiyun Temple. His mother and her had a very good relationship since they were young. They have been exchanging letters until now. , If you really encounter trouble, you can find her.

"It seems that I have to spare some time to meet this aunt on Baiyun Mountain and get in touch with her. Maybe she will give me the medicinal materials as soon as she is happy?"

Thinking of this.

Ren Pingsheng no longer hesitated, looked at Li Yong, waved his hand and said, "Go, follow me to Baiyun Temple!"
