ah?The palace fighting system can also cultivate immortality

Chapter 150: "Liuyang Prefecture Immortal Banquet"

Seeing Du Xinghe change the identity in the contract book with a wave of his hair, the sword spirit was curious:
"What is the Silijian?"

"It's a place where you can eat the emperor's food. Common men who can't afford to eat have another choice except to sell themselves to rich families as slaves."

The sword spirit knows what it means to eat the emperor's food.

All the men who could eat the emperor's food were from wealthy families. How could the common people who could not afford to eat get their food?
Du Xinghe absentmindedly made two more changes on it and answered his sword spirit's doubts: "As long as you sever your brotherly relationship with your second brother, you can enter the Imperial Household Department."

The sword spirit seemed to understand, not quite, and just treated it as a kind of obedience test.

After all, there are many tests of one's character in the world of cultivating immortals that require severing one's ties with family.

The smaller the sect, the more they like to conduct inhumane tests. When the inexperienced disciples heard this, they thought that immortals could do things that ordinary people could not do. How could they seek immortality without paying a price that ordinary people could not bear? After sunk costs, they asked to cut off all relatives - there was no turning back. If they could really focus on cultivation and no longer care about worldly affairs, they could be an outer disciple who focused on taking care of the farmland in the sect's spiritual field.

"Then why did you change this person's identity?"

Although the servants who had been detained in the mansion and forced to work in the secret realm for many years had committed murder before, they were ultimately only driven by the will of the mansion's master rather than their own will. Du Xinghe wanted to free them all and then use this contract book as a magic weapon for his own use.

but……

Du Xinghe: "They cannot be released before their term of service is over, but they belong to me now."

The contract had just been returned to her, so she was not very obedient.

Fortunately, she still has a system that can occasionally help her - the relationship between servants and even guards and concubines is too shallow to be difficult to control, while eunuchs and palace maids, as an ancient profession with a long history, can be justified in being included in the management of concubines.

With just a few strokes, the minions and demons in the secret realm were organized.

For women's convenience, they were divided into palace maids and nannies.

Men first undergo a transformation in their body structure before becoming father-in-law.

"what?"

Du Xinghe closed his eyes and felt the fluctuations of spiritual power coming from the direction of the inner courtyard.

The skins lying on the ground in the outer courtyard swelled up and regained their human form. Even without the supervision of the terrifying housekeeper, the female servants continued to do their original work subconsciously, while the male servants anxiously looked for the figure of their new master.

With the connection of the contract book, a servant with a vague face soon came to the room where Du Xinghe was.

The leader was the old gatekeeper.

Their mouths opened and closed, and this time Du Xinghe could understand what they said without having to use someone else's skin.

To translate it, after rising from the ground, they all found that a piece of their body was missing.

Du Xinghe glanced at him calmly: "Everything has a price."

"I understand, but the price has to be my life, right?"

They all said it was just two taels of meat. Some of the lackeys bowed and negotiated with her: "New master, can't you be kind and use two taels of meat from other places as the price? Even the head is willing! Anyway, we can live without the head."

The other minions echoed him.

It can be seen that for men, no matter before or after death, the small head is superior to the big head.

After hearing the new master say there was no room for negotiation, they lowered their heads in disappointment and asked again: "Then what instructions does the master have?"

Before this, they were doing meaningless work endlessly day after day.

If you take a short break and are discovered by the butler, you will be tortured and killed and then reborn.

Du Xinghe asked it to bring him paper and ink. His mind moved as he wished, and the ink fell onto the paper, automatically writing out line after line of neat words, listing the things that the palace maids and eunuchs had to do every day, including but not limited to - inviting the palace maids to eat together but being rejected, bribing each other, and worshipping godfathers, ancestors, and godsons...

"Master," one of the lackeys raised his hand weakly, "How do I seduce the emperor? Who is the emperor?"

"The emperor is not here yet. You just need to dress up beautifully and show yourself in front of me. If you do a good job, you will be rewarded."

Although the minions are evil creatures, they can still practice cultivation.

Du Xinghe only used a tiny bit of his spiritual power, which was enough for them to benefit endlessly. Hearing that there was a reward, the enthusiasm of the minions immediately rose. The eunuch minions were anxious after hearing this: "Can't we seduce the emperor? Please treat us equally, master."

They are too eager to make progress.

Du Xinghe thought it made sense and agreed.

She gave orders again, asking if there were any treasures in the outer courtyard and what was going on in the inner courtyard.
From the fact that no one came to help the housekeeper when he was beaten, it can be seen that the minions have independent consciousness and only care about their own interests. They don't care who gets the resources in the outer courtyard, they only care about whether they live well, whether they can get benefits, and whether they will be exploited.

"Master, please come this way."

So, when Yun Yongyi was carefully exploring the outer courtyard, Du Xinghe was already led by the local evil spirits, who were eager to scrape off every layer of the outer courtyard's skin.

When the agreed time came, the two of them gathered in the yard. He saw the spotless Du Xinghe walking towards him and wondered, "You just stayed in the wing room? I was almost pulled into the gap by a wall ghost just now, but you are fine."

Du Xinghe: "I am very good at fighting. They can't beat me."

Yun Yongyi believed this.

He paused, thinking of the magic book that his brother was most concerned about, and asked, "By the way, have you seen a book?"

The sword in Du Xinghe's hand trembled.

Yun Yongyi noticed the movement. He lowered his head and said, "Your sword..."

Du Xinghe patted the scabbard and told the sword spirit to be more honest: "What book? Who enters the secret realm to look for a book? Or is the secret manual of your Five Elements Sect's skills in here? If I really see the book, I will show it to you."

Yun Yongyi didn't say yes or no, but just asked her, "You agreed to this without asking me what characteristics are in the book I'm looking for?"

"I'm illiterate, so it's useless to ask. I'll just bring the book to you and show it to you."

Du Xinghe's tone was so calm that Yun Yongyi couldn't tell whether it was true or false for a moment.

This is her attitude towards people she doesn't get along with.

[Don't waste time talking to her. Bring her into the inner courtyard. I'll know the truth after checking her.]

Yun Yongyi's brother's hoarse voice rang in his mind.

He hesitated for a moment and wanted to ask his brother what he was going to do with this swordsman, but his brother did not respond to him.

Fortunately, Du Xinghe had no objection to his proposal.

From the outer courtyard to the inner courtyard, you only have to walk through a long corridor. The corner is lush and green, with dark green leaves forming a wall. The rich green almost draws people in.

"Ok?"

Jindan cultivators have a particularly sharp sixth sense for danger. Just one glance and Du Xinghe got goose bumps all over his arms.

The wall is decorated with a long colored scroll on silk titled "The Banquet of Ascension in Liuyang Prefecture". The scroll is divided into six sections, each of which depicts scenes at different time points in the banquet, from welcoming guests and seating them down to the end of the banquet, when the guests leave one by one, all the scenes are recorded.

Du Xinghe's gaze fell on the last painting.

As the banquet came to an end, the maikos and musicians put down their instruments and the guests stood up and lined up in front of a door with smiles on their faces. The guest at the front stepped over the threshold with his right foot and turned around to say goodbye to everyone. The painter depicted his subtle expression of pride, which he tried hard to hide, in great detail, so that anyone who viewed the painting could understand at a glance that being the first to step through that door was a great honor.

"Why aren't you leaving yet?"

Yun Yongyi called her from the front.
