It’s too dangerous to seize the direct descendant, so I choose to be the leader of the Demon Cult

Chapter 16 Developing the body is an enjoyable process
Zhao Ci rushed to Wangshu Palace excitedly.

Unsurprisingly.

There is no one in Wangshu Palace.

Gu Xiangzhu said that he was free in the afternoon, and he was probably still busy with the Danfang matters.

Zhao Ci was not in a hurry, since it was still early anyway. After sitting in Wangshu Palace for a while, he strolled to the entrance of the palace, harvested an in-place Gong Talisman from Huang Dushu, and then returned to Wangshu Palace.

He asked the palace maid and eunuch to prepare some breakfast for him. After eating and drinking, he meditated on the spot.

He has fully understood the Qi Consciousness Chapter of the Huangji Body Refining Art. He can direct the Qi in his body like an arm, and there is no hindrance in his practice. Not only has he laid a solid foundation, but the Qi is also growing rapidly.

As long as Zhao Ci is not lazy, his true energy will surely grow enough to enter the body refining stage within ten days.

Circle after circle.

The feeling of strong vitality made Zhao Ci extremely satisfied.

He came to understand the feelings of those obsessed with fitness.

Developing the body is a very enjoyable process in itself.

No matter what others develop.

Or develop your own.

But when he thought about being stared at by Zhao Huan, he felt uncomfortable all the time.

He had to find a way to break the situation. He didn't want his body to be hollowed out and become a cripple.

The drained princes either stay at home and become invalids, or they work as civil servants in the clan mansion, remotely involving the internal forces of the seven major clans.

This kind of life is obviously not what Zhao Ci wants.

Practice!

Cultivation is the real thing. The last time he relied on the talisman paper, Zhao Yong lost face, but he could not always rely on the talisman paper.

Today, in addition to occupying the false name of "Father's Favorite", his status, power, and strength are far inferior to those of Zhao Yong.

For a short period of time, there may not be direct conflict.

But this stuff can't be completely avoided.

There must be no slacking off.

This practice lasted until noon.

After another lunch, Zhao Ci decided to take a lunch break.

I didn't know how long I slept before I heard a voice outside the door.

"You should go to the alchemy shop more often these days to take a closer look."

"There is only one month left for the Gongdan Conference, so they must prepare enough materials."

"At the conference, the ability of each family to provide alchemy will be assessed. Alchemy needs to be made on-site, so that the alchemists can take good care of themselves and stay in the best condition."

"Especially for the Zhuge family's alchemy furnace, we must grab this order. We have fallen behind as alchemists and must rely on the alchemy furnace to catch up."

Gu Xiangzhu spoke slowly and slowly, but Zhao Ci faintly heard anxiety from inside.

In the world of elixirs, the core competitiveness is always the alchemist.

When you need to use the alchemy furnace to make up for the gap, it means you have lost.

This is the legendary number of stationery for poor students.

However, there is a saying. As one of the seven meritorious families of Bashu, Zhuge has not been involved in the elixir business due to the problem of his own divine treasure. However, this family has a strong gold-type divine treasure and is extremely good at formations and weapon refining, so he started from the elixir business. He stuck his foot across the stove and separated a big piece of fat meat against the alchemy stove.

The Zhuge family's alchemy furnaces, and there are a batch of them, are indeed a big list.

Zhao Ci has not personally experienced the effect of this alchemy furnace, but it is said that it is a holy product in the alchemy world, like Apple in the mobile phone world, and Fo Bole Warning in the Ivy world.

If you can grab it, it will be a great thing.

But...can I get it?

really.

The eunuch hesitated: "Mother, this alchemy furnace..."

Gu Xiangzhu interrupted: "We must grab it!"

Eunuch: "...Yes!"

Zhao Ci: "..."

Why does this sound a little familiar?

Ben Bo'er Ba, are you going to capture the four masters and disciples of Tang Seng?

Crash.

After receiving Concubine Jing's order, everyone dispersed.

Zhao Ci then pushed open the door and walked out with a filial look on his face: "Mother and concubine!"

To be honest, I will still be amazed when I see Gu Xiangzhu again.

She wears makeup that is only reserved for women. She has the sultry feeling of a young mature woman, but she also has a cool temperament and fair and flawless skin. It is difficult not to make people's hearts flutter.

Just appreciate it.

Zhao Ci was still a little panicked when he faced her.

No matter how pretty the women are, they still belong to the devil's sect.

And he was very sure that the last time he hugged her, she had murderous intentions towards him.

Even though it was only for a moment, it was certain that this person was definitely not a good man or woman.

"Resignation?"

Gu Xiangzhu's expression changed slightly, but soon returned to normal. He smiled lightly and said, "Ci'er, when did you come?"

It was as if she had turned back into the loving mother who had a warm heart but was not good at expressing it.

Zhao Ci bowed slightly and said, "Go back to my mother and concubine! In the morning, I went to see my father to discuss the wedding date and the opening of the palace. I remembered that I could accompany my mother and concubine in the afternoon, so I came directly to Wangshu Palace!"

Gu Xiangzhu didn't want to get along with this cheap son.

But even if they come, they can’t be driven away.

And keeping the relationship looking harmonious is an integral part of her mission.

But this part of the task may become much more complicated after Zhao Ci confesses his filial piety.

I have to think of a way to avoid unnecessary physical contact like last time. "Very good!"

Gu Xiangzhu smiled lightly and nodded: "I just want to check some classics as my mother, so I can check how your homework is. Come on!"

With that said, he walked towards the study.

Zhao Ci sighed in his heart, he did not expect that this demon sect woman is also a workaholic.

He looked at Gu Xiangzhu's head, and the subtitles were purple.

[Gu Xiangzhu’s current wish]: Make Xiang’s Danfang rise and open up a financial line for our Demon Sect.Reward for wish fulfillment: Comprehension value +1000, the secret technique of demon body forging.

Good guy!
A pill shop, give me three purple wishes?
Yesterday, Zhao Ci could only sigh and despair at these wishes.

But now, he wants it all.

But...why Xiang's Danfang?

He recalled it, and it seemed that it was indeed Xiang's Danfang. Zhao Huan had always felt guilty and wanted to make amends for the death of Marquis Zhonglie.But Xiang Tiange's first wife had fled into Buddhism and left no heirs, so she always wanted to support the Xiang family's business.

The property that was handed over to Gu Xiangzhu seemed to always have dividends from the Xiang family. Of course, he didn't know whether this was the result of the game with Gu Xiangzhu or because of his guilt towards Xiang Tiange.

Now Zhao Huan has two wishes, one is that the Royal Danfang can rise, and the other is that Gu Xiangzhu can be a disruptor in the Gongdan Conference.

It seemed that his guess was correct. Zhao Huan had indeed reached a deal with the Demon Cult. He supported them openly but secretly made small moves.

It seems that these three wishes cannot be fulfilled at the same time.

Unless, there is such a Danfang, which belongs to both the royal family and the Xiang family.

It’s not that there are no joint ventures, but this scenario seems a bit unrealistic.

No hurry!
Figure it out slowly.

Zhao Ci followed Gu Xiangzhu into the study. As soon as he entered the door, Gu Xiangzhu pushed him in front of the desk to check his homework.

There was no new wish formed, but he could vaguely guess that this devil's sect's pretty girl was afraid of taking advantage of him.

He pretended to cope with it, but his homework was a mess as usual, so he pretended that he couldn't bear the torture and lay down on the desk to catch up on his sleep.

Seeing Zhao Ci lying down, he even snored lightly.

"call……"

Gu Xiangzhu felt a sense of relief. She had never been afraid of anything but Zhao Ci's filial piety.

Fortunately, he is just a simple boy after all, so she can easily arrange it!

She rubbed her white temples and took out thick books from the bookshelf. These were all classics on elixirs from the royal library.

Except for the three families of Zhu Feng and Yang, the royal family's collection of elixir books was the most profound and extensive, which helped her a lot.

She has been checking it out during this period, and there is only one core question: how to improve the quality and output of the elixir when the alchemist is not available.

She really found a lot of ways, otherwise it would be impossible to bring all those small alchemy organizations together.

It's just... these methods are indeed effective, but they are still a drop in the bucket for my own problems.

Check this.

I checked for more than an hour.

No new breakthrough was found, but I was exhausted physically and mentally, and my back was a little sore.

"Hey!"

Gu Xiangzhu sighed, suddenly feeling that there was something unworthy in this world.

He obviously learned a lot of killing skills, but he worked in the palace as a civil servant for 17 years, and his body was rusty.

He also had to deal with an old man who had always wanted to practice dual cultivation with him, and struggled to develop the devil's sect's financial resources from him.

They even had to compete with several established alchemy families for meat.

For the Demonic Cult.

She was really heartbroken.

"Mother concubine!"

"what?"

Gu Xiangzhu turned his head: "Ci'er, are you awake?"

Zhao Ci sighed, with an expression of distress and unbearable expression on his face: "When I was in the Imperial Study Room just now, I heard from my father that my mother and concubine were worried about the Alchemy House, but I didn't expect that you would be so tired.

The child also wanted to share some of the burden for his mother and concubine, so yesterday he mustered up the courage to ask his father to open a palace. However, the child was stupid and couldn't think of a way to solve the dilemma of Danfang after thinking about it all night! "

Gu Xiangzhu: "..."

Let Zhao Ci break the Danfang dilemma?

This statement is a bit ridiculous, but this idiot has good intentions.

Zhao Huan is really cruel. In order to restrict the development of our demon sect, he even pushed this idiot out to attract trouble.

She waved her hand: "It is not easy to break the Danfang situation. This matter has nothing to do with you. There is no need to get involved."

[Gu Xiangzhu’s current wish]: My dear, please wake up and don’t hold yourself back. Thank you for my mother.Reward for wish completion: Comprehension value +10, hind leg talisman.

Don't you want me to hold you back?

Then I have to delay it!
Zhao Ci's rebellious mentality came out: "But mother-in-law, I want to share your worries!"

Gu Xiangzhu asked, "How do you want to share your worries?"

Zhao Ci looked at her fair and elegant shoulders, and calmly placed the rubbing talisman that only he could find on the palm of his hand.

"Concubine, I don't have any other abilities, but I can rub your shoulders for you!"

"This……"

Gu Xiangzhu's face froze.

Zhao Ci's eyes were full of filial piety, and he repeated seriously: "My child wants to rub your shoulders!"

Developing your body is a very enjoyable process.

No matter what others develop.

Or develop your own.

I practiced in the morning and my own has been developed.

Now, it's time to develop someone else's.
