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

Chapter 21 Gu Xiangzhu: Zhao Ci, I am such a heart-wrenching big boy.
Wangshu Palace.

behind the screen.

"Is this true!?"

Gu Xiangzhu, who was taking a nap, suddenly sat up.

She went out for a trip these days, and based on the information resources of the Demon Cult, she found a relic of the previous dynasty related to the elixir at the border.

After adventurous exploration, I found a lot of secret methods related to alchemy. As long as you use them to train alchemists, these alchemists will be able to upgrade to a higher level.

It just won’t be effective in the short term.

But if you miss this Gongdan Conference and want to expand your industry, you will have to wait at least another year.

After all, the most powerful elixir consumer in this world is always the country.

One year.

It's not that she can't wait.

But she really didn't want to wait.

When I came back, I was already wearing the stars and the moon. I had not slept well, so I had to get up quickly, tidy up my appearance, and meet with a female steward of the Zhuge family to find out about the alchemy furnace.

But I never thought that just after taking a nap before leaving, I would meet Li Shu from the Li family and ask for a meeting.

I heard these two big news.

Zhao Yong really wants to compete for these medicine furnaces, which is not surprising, because apart from himself, there is only such a new force in the medicine world that is in urgent need of high-grade medicine furnaces.

I just didn't expect that Zhao Yong would actually conflict with Zhao Ci. In this case, the other party would definitely not hold back at all.

This time it is related to Zhao Yong's achievements after opening the mansion.

The princeling is determined to train Zhao Yong to be the prince's right-hand man, and he will definitely try his best this time. Zhao Yong is relying on the reputation of the Zhu family elixir.

I'm afraid it will be difficult to compete for this batch of pill furnaces.

Gu Xiangzhu had a headache. She never thought that she would be involved in the muddy water of fighting for reserves. Even though she was not involved deeply, it still made her feel extremely uncomfortable. She just wanted to open up the Demon Sect's financial line, so why did she get so involved? So difficult?
Fortunately, there is another piece of good news.

"This is what my father sees with his own eyes, and there is no room for lies."

Li Shu was also excited. If Gu Xiangzhu could really win a large sum of money, the Li family would also be able to have all-you-can-eat soup.

Gu Xiangzhu was a little moved.

Zhao resigned from him...

Do not!
My wonderful eldest son is really a dragon and a phoenix among men!
With this liquid medicine, the output of a furnace of elixirs has more than doubled, and the elixir refining cycle has been shortened by at least three times.

This translates into an increase in output of more than six times.

If the supply of medicine is sufficient, even if the quality of the medicine is not good enough, she can still win a big deal at the Gongdan Conference.

The benefits of the elixir industry are much more meaningful than the money brought by ordinary business.

"only……"

Li Shu changed the topic.

Gu Xiangzhu's heart trembled and he asked, "Just what?"

Li Shu hesitated for a moment and told the story of what happened in Li's Danfang.

Gu Xiangzhu frowned slightly: "This..."

Li Shu couldn't help but ask: "Empress, what should we do?"

"Not urgent!"

Gu Xiangzhu calmed down and said with a slight smile: "Just let your father do his best to prepare. Ci'er is my son, just leave it to me!"

After saying that, he stood up and asked Li Shu to leave first. Then he got on the carriage leaving the palace and met the female steward of the Zhuge family first.

……

Ten palaces.

Zhao Ci was in a good mood, although the low quality of the elixir made him a little flustered.

But no matter how low the quality of the elixir is, as long as he wins the order, it is no small feat for him.

It had been seven days since he opened the government, but he hadn't recruited a single official. Not to mention people coming to apply for the job, even Feng Kucha had predicted and rejected his request to recruit an official.

It's because they don't see a future in themselves.

Kaifu is a team points game, and it really can’t work without my little brother.

After this Gongdan Conference, I should say goodbye to the dilemma of a mere commander.

As for the elixir level.

He also wants to improve, but it is currently beyond his ability.

and……

He needs to hold the benefits of this wave firmly in his own hands first.

"eat first!"

Zhao Ci felt very comfortable and immediately showed off a few large bowls of rice. After taking a short rest, he started practicing.

To be honest, when he complained about Zhao Yong just now, he still did some psychological preparation, fearing that Zhao Yong would break his defense and give himself a beating.

Fortunately, Zhao Yong is a quality person.

Quality people are best to deal with.

but!

He still had to improve his strength. These days, he didn't waste time on those small wishes. All his energy was on extracting medicine and practicing.

It has to be said that the cultivation efficiency of the state of perfection is astonishingly high. Now the true energy in his body is extremely pure. In three days at most, he will be able to perform the first physical training.Cool!
Zhao Ci quickly became immersed in cultivation.

One Sunday, another Sunday.

halfway.

He sensed someone appearing next to him, but ignored him at all and just continued to practice.

It wasn't until he felt a faint feeling of losing strength that he gathered his true energy into his Dantian and slowly stopped.

Open your eyes and look at the person coming.

really!

Li Fugui, an old man, really sold himself out.

I have been waiting for you for a long time.

His eyes suddenly glowed with surprise.

"Mother Concubine! Why are you here?"

"Leave!"

Gu Xiangzhu sat quietly, the slanting sunlight filtering through the window and shining on her face with a slight smile, shining with tranquility and gentleness.

Coupled with the beautiful profile, people can't help but feel admiration and reverence just by looking at her.

She was very satisfied with Zhao Ci's reaction.

This is just a simple psychological suggestion, but it is extremely useful. She has many magic tricks that confuse people's minds, but she doesn't bother to use them.

Psychological suggestions are enough, simple ones are the most reliable and effective.

I originally wanted to avoid contact with Zhao Ci as much as possible, but now it seems that this "mother-child relationship" is worth managing well.

All for the Demonic Cult!
"My mother went on a long trip a few days ago and just returned to Linge last night. I thought I hadn't seen you for many days and wondered how you were doing, so I stopped by to see you after finishing my work. I didn't expect you to practice so hard. I don’t have the heart to disturb you.”

[Gu Xiangzhu’s current wish]: To take the method of extracting medicinal liquid into his own hands.Reward for wish completion: Comprehension value +100, Clever Seizing Talisman X1.

Hey!
woman!

Your name is Greed.

Zhao Ci put on a serious look: "Since I have decided to be filial to my father and my concubine, how can I slack off? Don't worry, my concubine, I will never let you suffer any injustice in the future."

Gu Xiangzhu: "..."

She felt the change in Zhao Ci's mentality.

Since he decided to open a mansion last time, Zhao Ci's whole personality seems to have changed.

For example, after staying behind closed doors for so many days, he developed an essence of medicinal liquid.

For example, I practiced so hard just now.

For example, he tore Zhao Yong into pieces angrily in the morning.

For a moment, she felt a sense of love for talent.

If it weren't for his poor talent, this child would be a good seedling with his character.

Pity……

"If Ci'er has such a heart, she is very satisfied as a mother!"

Gu Xiangzhu was quite moved and got to the point: "By the way! I heard from shopkeeper Li that you went to the alchemy workshop today and took out a bottle of extremely valuable medicinal solution..."

"what!?"

Zhao Ci looked shocked and angry: "Why is Li Fugui like this? I clearly told him not to say anything!"

Gu Xiangzhu asked with a smile: "It's obviously a good thing, why can't you say it?"

Zhao Ci seemed to suddenly become anxious: "Mother Concubine! There are two reasons for the child."

"Don't get excited and speak slowly!"

Gu Xiangzhu, who had always had a cold temperament, looked particularly gentle and charming under the afterglow of the setting sun.

What should be said or not.

Zhao Ci was a little confused by this appearance. After calming down, he sighed: "The first reason is that the medicinal liquid essence is not easy to mass-produce. I worked hard for a long time before refining it. After confirming it, Before the child was born, the child did not dare to boast to Haikou, for fear that the mother and concubine would be happy in vain. I only hate that Li Fugui actually..."

Sure enough, there is hope for mass production!

Gu Xiangzhu just wanted to ask immediately how to refine the essence of the medicine, but now she was an intellectual and loving mother, so she couldn't rush it.

Just smiled and asked: "What about the second one?"

"second……"

Zhao Ci looked ashamed: "Mother and concubine! The child has selfish motives!"

He grabbed Gu Xiangzhu's hand, looking anxious and nervous, as if he had done something wrong and was begging for forgiveness.

Gu Xiangzhu: "..."

Why did we get in touch again?
Fortunately, this time it was just a handshake, and the feelings behind it were very simple. Thinking of this, her uncomfortable feeling dissipated a little.

She patted the back of Zhao Ci's hand gently: "What's wrong? Ci'er is fine, please speak slowly..."

Zhao Ci took a deep breath: "That kid said..."

I have no money, no one, and no channels.

I can only trap you!
