I really don't want to be a traitor

Chapter 9 Retreat practice
Fan Li started practicing.

With the book "Introduction to Body Training" in his pocket, he headed into the practice room of Fan's residence.

The eldest brother Fan Mingsai gave him a huge gourd, which made a "dong dong dong" sound when shaken. It obviously contained various magical elixirs.

"Open it and eat!" Fan Minghao said angrily.

During his first training, Fan Li's goal was only the body refining realm.

He estimated that although there were many elixirs in the gourd, they were probably low-level elixirs with mild properties and weak effects, so he didn't take them too seriously.

In fact, Fan's Trading Company's elixir store in the capital of Dachu has been closed!
The Fan family's pharmacy never sells low-level elixirs.

The quantity of goods in the store is very small, but they are all truly high-end goods that are priceless!
The elixir of this gourd is all the products for sale in Fan's drugstore this month.

Within this month, the princes and nobles of the Chu capital will no longer be able to buy a single high-level elixir.

The Fan family has always been in the monopoly business!
"Why does this pill have five colors?"

Fan Li poured out a pill from the gourd.

Although I disliked the weird color, I swallowed it anyway.

The power of the medicine turned into a warm current and began to swim everywhere in his body.

Fan Li felt comfortable all over and wondered if this was some kind of rare elixir?
He opened the gourd's mouth and looked inside.

There are hundreds of pills in the gourd, including hundreds of five-color pills!

"Things are rare and expensive, this elixir should not be worth a lot of money."

Thinking about it, Fan Li simply poured out a few more five-color pills and swallowed them all at once.

Then, start practicing.

at the same time.

Dachu Palace, the emperor's training room.

Xiang Ning raised his right hand, palm facing up, holding a five-color pill.

She put her nose up, sniffed the fragrance of the medicine greedily, and couldn't help admiring!

"[Wu Ling Pill] is worthy of being a heaven-level pill refined by combining five kinds of spiritual roots. Unfortunately, the production is scarce, and I only have seven pills per month."

Beside Xiang Ning, there are a dozen exquisite blue and white porcelain medicine bottles.

The bottles are engraved with the words Tian, ​​Di, Xuan, Huang, etc., which are the grades of elixirs.

"After eating the last heaven-level first-grade [Five Spirit Pill], this month I can only use the earth-level, Xuan-level, and yellow-level elixir to assist in practicing kung fu, hey!"

Xiang Ning reluctantly swallowed the Five Spirit Pills and unfolded a piece of paper.

This is the information obtained by Eunuch Chen's eyeliner outside the palace, secretly monitoring Fan's residence.

"Fan Li really started to practice?"

"Hmph! I have been practicing for many years, when will he be able to catch up with me?"

"Besides, I am the Son of Heaven of Great Chu, and I am supported by the world of Great Chu. The elixir for cultivation alone is simply incomparable to Fan Li."

"It won't take long before Fan Li will find that the gap between me and me is getting bigger and bigger. Does he have the nerve to let me call 'Father Xiang'? Heh heh heh!"

The more Xiang Ning thought about it, the more complacent he became. By the way, he licked the corner of his mouth with his tongue, reminiscing about the aftertaste of the Wuling Pill just now.

ten days later.

Fan Li came out of seclusion.

Outside the practice room, Fan Ming, Fan Chun and Fan Yuehua have been waiting for a long time.

Fan Li casually threw a gourd, which was caught firmly by Fan Ming.

"Have you finished eating?!"

Fan Ming weighed the gourd and found that it was empty.

"Yeah." Fan Li nodded, and asked as if reminiscing: "These pills are good, get me some more when you have time, they are delicious."

Fan Ming's face froze, and he nodded with difficulty: "Okay, I will try my best!"

Fan Chun said in a low voice: "Second brother, these are heaven-level pills, it's hard to get... ouch!"

Before he finished speaking, he was kicked by Fan Ming and Fan Yuehua each.

The two of them glared at him fiercely.

The eyes were clear and he said: As long as Fan Li wants, our Fan family will sell everything for him!

Fan Chun rubbed his butt and gave in aggrievedly.

"Second brother, how did you gain from seclusion?" Fan Yuehua asked expectantly.

"It's the body refining realm, what else?" Fan Li replied matter-of-factly.

When he started practicing for the first time, his goal was to enter the body refining realm.

Now that the goal has been achieved, he is already at the first rank of the Body Refining Realm, so he will be able to exit the level logically.

After ten days of cultivation to reach the body refining realm, Fan Li was still very satisfied with his performance.

But, he noticed that the expressions of the three siblings were instantly dull?
"What? My cultivation speed is so fast that it surprises you?" Fan Li asked with a smile.

"Fast?" the three of them asked in unison.

Then, the three of them shut up at the same time with a tacit understanding.

As the most basic level of cultivation, the body refining realm is undoubtedly the easiest to achieve.

Even ordinary people can basically become the first-grade body refining state after spending ten days and half a month in seclusion.

Fan Li was born with the [Wind, Cloud, Dragon and Tiger] vision, and was assisted by hundreds of heaven-level and earth-level elixirs.

After ten days of closed-door training, the result was only... first-class body training?
The three of them repeatedly confirmed that Fan Li was really only at the first level of body refining.

"cough!"

The eldest brother Fan Ming coughed lightly.

"I declare that all news related to my second brother's cultivation is classified as the top secret of our Fan family and is strictly prohibited from spreading to outsiders!"

Fan Chun and Fan Yuehua also nodded solemnly!
Fan Li, the Prime Minister of Chu and the second master of the Fan Mansion, who holds all the power in the government and the public, can practice as fast as a tortoise?
This secret must not be spread outside!
"Is the vision of [Fengyun Dragon and Tiger] really fake? Or is it that the second brother/second brother's bones have not recovered?" This question popped up in the minds of the three brothers and sisters at the same time.

But only the ancient sages and emperors of the Three Kingdoms had such things as natural visions.

The historical records are vague, and no one can accurately explain the mystery.

The three of them surrounded Fan Li and comforted him for a while.

Only then did Fan Li realize that it was because he practiced too badly?

"Second Lord, someone from the palace said that His Majesty has left the customs, and he will go to court early today."

While talking, a servant came in to report.

The little emperor is out?

Fan Li thought of Xiang Ning who was wearing women's clothes ten days ago. Is this kid practicing in seclusion or playing women's clothes in seclusion?
"I know, I'm going to change into court clothes."

Great Chu Palace, the main hall.

All the civil and military officials were arranged in two rows, and Xiang Ning sat on the dragon chair.

She had just finished retreat, and she was smiling, exuding a strong and mysterious confidence!
"Is the Prime Minister here yet?" Xiang Ning asked with some expectation.

A young eunuch replied: "I have already gone to invite, the prime minister should be here soon."

Just as he was talking, someone announced outside the palace.

"My father-in-law is here!"

Xiang Ning's smiling face froze instantly. How could he forget this?

Prime Minister?

It makes me angry!
Fan Li walked forward with his head held high and his chest high. He walked straight past the officials and stepped on the imperial steps to stand next to the dragon chair.

"His Majesty has left the customs?"

Fan Li stood, looking down at Xiang Ning who was sitting on the dragon chair.

"It's... Xiangfu..."

Xiang Ning didn't expect Fan Li to be so arrogant that he would stand in front of her and speak, and she was so scared that she unconsciously called out 'Father Xiang'.

But the officials under the imperial ranks thought it was normal, because Fan Li was originally the number one minister of Chu!

Feeling guilty for a while, Xiang Ning's self-confidence brought about by seclusion and breakthrough realm disappeared in the middle of a question and answer.

"I'm really worthless! Why are you still so afraid of him? Obviously I've broken through!"

Xiang Ning was so angry that she wanted to cry, but she could only hold her grievances in her heart.
