ah?The palace fighting system can also cultivate immortality

Chapter 208 Declined
The person who was called over by the second prince was a well-dressed man in brocade clothes.

Different dynasties had different clothing systems, and there were hundreds of different colors that were respected. The Xuan Dynasty was no exception, and black was the noble color. So the second prince wore a black robe with gold patterns. Although the material of the clothes worn by the man who was summoned was good, there was not a trace of black, and the color was also lighter.

As soon as Du Xinghe looked over, the palace fighting system identified him as a eunuch.

Still a small butler.

Du Xinghe: [Other people's systems can identify Dou Zong masters, but you can only identify level 10 eunuchs? ]

The system ignored the slander from the host.

Chen Fan saluted the Second Prince, and when his eyes moved to Du Xinghe, he pretended to be in deep thought, then showed fear for a moment, and rushed to the Second Prince with a stern look: "You daring villain, I will not let you hurt His Highness. If you want to hurt His Highness, you'd better step over my dead body first!"

He opened his arms and stood in front of Du Xinghe.

Du Xinghe has seen countless villains. His acting skills are still not mature enough, but it is enough for the second prince who is raised in the deep palace. He was slightly moved: "You misunderstood, she didn't want to hurt me, but I want to compete with her. Besides, wasn't this your suggestion? I think it's great."

"Your Highness is of noble status, how can you stand under a dangerous wall?" He paused and said, "Your Highness misunderstood my meaning before."

The second prince tilted his head and thought for a moment, and found that the other party seemed to have never made a direct proposal.

He only occasionally mentioned in front of him that there was a famous genius swordsman on the Pingyun Continent, and his father mentioned him again and again, making him extremely envious.

"All right,"

The second prince turned his face away: "Anyway, I accepted Du Xinghe's suggestion just now."

Any suggestions?
Chen Fan's heart skipped a beat.

He was just accepting benefits from the Su family and wanted to prevent Du Xinghe from becoming a helper of the Ji family. If his plan failed, it would also cause a quarrel between the arrogant and overbearing Second Prince and the swordsman who was rumored to be dissatisfied with the powerful.

The Second Prince often acted on his own whim and loved to inquire about his father's affairs, so it was reasonable that the matter of crossing the galaxy would reach the Second Prince's ears.

Chen Fan had heard of Guo Xinghe and seen her portrait while in the deep palace.

The memory painting drawn by the Jindan realm painter is dynamic, retaining one tenth of her charm. The woman in the painting has cold and beautiful features, but when you really see her in person, the coldness in her temperament far outweighs her beauty, making people forget her beauty and only know that she is very powerful and has a bad temper.

Chen Fan was concentrating on thinking when he heard the bad-tempered swordsman chuckle and say in a rare gentle tone: "Your Highness is of noble status and cannot be easily injured. Then we will test our skills against you one after another, and you will be the referee."

Hearing this, Chen Fan's expression changed slightly.

Forget about the Second Prince. He is at the fifth level of the Golden Core and is often the target of the Second Prince's testing and venting. Not to mention being hit on the body with a small wooden sword, even the dazzling array of magic weapons and talismans that he got and threw at him could at most blow away a layer of the protective aura.

But, crossing the galaxy...

I heard that Du Xinghe was also a Jindan cultivator, but he couldn't tell her realm.

I'm afraid, above him.

Chen Fan clasped his hands together and said solemnly, "Second Prince, it is not appropriate to start a war in the palace. Daoist Fellow Du must have something important to attend to. Why don't we discuss it another day?"

Du Xinghe said: "I don't have anything important to do."

No matter how urgent it is, there is no need to rush.

"..."

Chen Fan suppressed his anger and impatience and said humbly, "I heard that Daoist Fellow Du came to the palace to seek an audience with His Majesty..."

"Since the Second Prince is interested, I would like to accompany him after the competition."

Du Xinghe said slowly.

This steward clearly had ill intentions towards her, so it would only be convenient for her to deal with him and then get back to her business.

Seeing her aggressive attitude, Chen Fan broke out in sweat on his forehead, knowing that this matter would not end well.

He was filled with hatred, thinking, why would such a great master pursue him so relentlessly? The Second Prince couldn't hurt her at all, so wouldn't it be good to have a good relationship with him? Du Xinghe's sword was still in its sheath, but the fierce sword intent and blood seemed to have blown in front of him.

The sword's owner took a step forward, turned sideways and said with a smile:

"I, Du Xinghe, am just a casual cultivator seeking fame and reputation. What are you afraid of?"

The palace lanterns made her outline rounder, even giving people the illusion that she was very kind-hearted.

At this moment, the impatient Second Prince shouted:
"What are you talking about? Hurry up and do it. I have long wanted to see what kind of swordsman is this one who can be praised by my father."

Did Emperor Xuan praise her?

Du Xinghe's eyes moved slightly.

When Jindan cultivators fought, they had to use a specially arranged martial arts arena with a barrier to avoid causing large-scale damage. The Second Prince's palace was extremely luxurious, but he didn't care about the possible damage and didn't feel sorry for it. He couldn't wait a moment and had to fight here.

Since it is not his own property, Du Xinghe naturally would not feel sorry for others.

She bowed:
"Your Highness, please teach me first."

The Second Prince did not think there was anything wrong with it, and he naturally slashed at Chen Fan with his sword. His sword moves were crude and it was obvious that he had learned a little but did not study hard. The only bright spot was that the spiritual power wrapped around the blade was extremely condensed.

There was a hint of purple in Du Xinghe's pupils, and he discovered a clue.

This condensed spiritual power did not come from the second prince's body, but from the black water jade bracelet on his right hand.

It's probably a magic weapon that a high-level monk has injected spiritual power into, and he can use it at will.

——Even so, the Second Prince still lacked the ability to maximize his spiritual power damage, and the few attacks he made on Chen Fan were painless. For him, pretending to be seriously injured to take care of the Second Prince's self-esteem was more difficult than withstanding his attacks.

"Well!"

Chen Fan took several steps back: "Your Highness has great swordsmanship."

Seeing that he was only beaten back, the Second Prince frowned in dissatisfaction. At this moment, a trace of blood slowly slid from the corner of Chen Fan's mouth. His face changed again, and he actually coughed loudly, spitting out large pools of blood. He said in horror: "Your Highness's sword moves seem ordinary, but they are hidden killer moves. They actually injured my golden core. I'm afraid I need to rest for a while before I can take on Fellow Daoist Du again..."

The other palace maids looked over sideways.

See? This is called a veteran actor.

The Second Prince suddenly realized and felt somewhat satisfied.

While the word "sword" was still at Chen Fan's throat, Du Xinghe suddenly attacked. Chi Xiao swung out his sword, sweeping it towards him like thunder.

In an instant, Chen Fan flew several feet away, knocking the palace people who were watching the show to the ground, and then he barely stopped.

Du Xinghe usually prefers to use the light sword Xue Ming because it is light and flexible, and can switch between offense and defense more smoothly. However, if he wants to kill the enemy with one move, the weight of this heavy sword is an advantage that cannot be ignored. The amplitude of the spiritual power shattered the protective qi of a Jindan cultivator in an instant, leaving him no chance to burn his blood and escape.

Seeing this, the palace ladies were all horrified and dared not speak.

Chi Xiao flew back into the sheath, but Du Xinghe said, "It seems that the internal injury caused by your first sword strike was too deep, and I just used the sword to play a joke on him, but he died. This is all thanks to your example, Second Prince."

The palace servants present: "..."

The Second Prince stared at her for a moment and said, "Does that mean I won?"

He obviously didn't care about the life or death of a supervisor. Du Xinghe's words were pleasing to his ears and made him feel very capable, so he passed this hurdle.

Du Xinghe nodded: "Yes, you win."

The body of the golden elixir was not rotten. Seeing that the Second Prince was happy again, the palace servants immediately carried Chen Fan's body away. Du Xinghe looked at the loss rate and felt that if the Samsara Academy wanted to refine human elixir, it would not be necessary to go to great lengths to plunder people. It would be enough to just recycle the consumables in the palace.

At this time, there was a commotion outside the yard.

Following the sound of two gold and jade clashing, a tall female official walked across the corridor with an imposing pace and came to the second prince to salute: "Emperor Xuan summoned Du Xinghe to come over. If the second prince has no other important matters, I will take her away."

The female official's words were not polite, and the second prince immediately puffed up his cheeks.

But when he heard that it was Emperor Xuan who summoned him, no matter how arrogant he was, he dared not hold Du Xinghe hostage anymore, and said, "Since father wants to see you, then go!... Remember to tell father that I am more powerful than you!"

Du Xinghe followed the female official and the leading eunuch out of the Second Prince's palace, and then he heard him wipe the sweat off his forehead and say, "I just went to the Imperial Concubine to ask for help. Did the Second Prince make things too difficult for you?"

Du Xinghe: "There is no one in his palace who has a higher level of cultivation than me, how can he embarrass me?"

The female official turned around and gave her a sidelong glance: "It's just because you didn't attack the Second Prince that Mr. Yuan didn't make things difficult for you."

The second prince was lucky. Although he had congenital deficiencies, his cultivation was higher than that of the cultivators in Pingyunlu. He had countless masters and magic weapons to protect his life. Du Xinghe drew a relationship diagram in his mind - the imperial concubine came from the Ji family. The Ji family wanted to befriend her, so they naturally didn't want her to die in the palace in a muddle.

Du Xinghe also knows that the situation is stronger than people.

She was walking on a tightrope this time, otherwise she wouldn't have agreed with the Second Prince's words just now.

In the Second Prince's range of activities, there must be some high-level powerful beings whose cultivation level far exceeds that of Du Xinghe. She is in the light, and he is in the dark.

"You competed with the Second Prince? This is not an easy task. If you let him off too obviously, he will be very unhappy."

The female officer said.

Du Xinghe then told her what had happened.

When she heard that Chen Fan died in her hands, the jade-like face of the female official was slightly moved: "Chen Fan received a lot of benefits from the Su family, and you just entered the palace... But who said anything to you? Don't worry, my name is Guan Yu, and I am the female official close to Concubine Ji."

The implication is that everyone is a family for the time being.

Guanyu wanted to know whether this was instructed by the Ji family and asked her to do this.

But Du Xinghe could not predict that the Second Prince would send people to intercept her when she entered the palace.

"No,"

The female official observed again and again, but could only see Du Xinghe's indifferent face. She said, "I am very unhappy with the way he plotted against me."

He is just a fifth-level Jindan, yet he dares to use the power of others to plot against her.

And she would really pretend to be joking and then beat him to death.

"I don't like his mean face either."

Guan Yu withdrew his gaze.

Du Xinghe asked, "So it is really Emperor Xuan who wants to see me?"

"Even if I had eight hundred guts, I would not dare to falsely convey the imperial edict," Guan Yu said unhappily, "It was the Imperial Concubine and His Majesty who were having dinner and mentioned you. You should seize this opportunity. His Majesty knows that you are a casual cultivator, not a citizen of Xuan Country, so it doesn't matter if you lack some etiquette."

The roads in the tower are intricate and the higher you go, the more wonders you will see.

Du Xinghe counted the floors silently in her mind. When she reached the seventh floor, the gravity around her suddenly increased, and even she felt a little difficult to breathe. Fortunately, Nascent Soul cultivators did not need to breathe, so after realizing this, she simply held her breath.

"arrive."

After passing through a long corridor, what appeared before Du Xinghe was not the magnificent palace he had imagined, but a huge vortex of stars that stretched as far as the eye could see.

The starlight and dust were absorbed by the vortex, and then slowly condensed. The golden light was so dense that it seemed to have substance. Every bit of stardust contained a power that Du Xinghe dared not look at. Guan Yu raised her delicate hand, and saw a piece of stardust from far away flying to the two of them, allowing them to step on it and enter the depths of the star vortex.

Guan Yu did not explain in detail, but Du Xinghe could feel that the two of them were protected by a force from the Xuan Kingdom. If she came alone, she would probably be crushed by the power of the star vortex.

"Uh!"

Guan Yu was concentrating on controlling the Stardust to the target direction when he heard a muffled groan from the guest behind him.

She turned around and saw Du Xinghe raising his hand to cover his left eye, blood oozing out from between his fingers.

Du Xinghe: "Can you help me heal my wound and stop the bleeding?"

"you……"

Can't you handle it yourself?

"I won't," Du Xinghe said, "unless you want to see me with six eyes before the Emperor."

She moved her hand away and let Guanyu heal her wounds in a very single manner.

They were all on the same boat, and although Guan Yu was skeptical that she couldn't heal her wounds, he still treated her simply, healing the wounds and wiping off the blood. -- Just now, after activating the Purple Extreme Wisdom Pupil, she tried to observe and deconstruct the composition of the Star Vortex.

The amount of information that poured in at once caused her blood vessels to rupture, and a large amount of blood oozed out of her eyes. Perhaps these star vortices were not something she could deconstruct at the moment. They didn't need to attack her, the backlash alone was enough to hurt her.

Dots of green flew out from Guanyu's hands and fell into Du Xinghe's eyes.

Du Xinghe blinked her eyes, and the blood beads fell like tears. She wiped them all away with her backhand, secretly thanking her lucky that she did not bring Shu Jiuqing to the tower, but let her stay in the safer Ji Mansion.

The closer you get to the core area of ​​Xuan Kingdom, the more you feel the powerful foundation of this Immortal Dynasty.

He is not comparable to the bachelor commander Ying Cangdi.

At the same time, the almost forgotten Jiuqing in Ji Mansion was searching everywhere in the guest room of Ji Mansion...

From time to time, she turned back to confirm with the maid: "Can I take my toiletries with me? What about the towels? This three-piece teapot set is also a good thing! Can you leave it as a souvenir for me?"

"...It's all right, Immortal Count."

The Ji Mansion treated Du Xinghe as an absolute VIP.

Even when treating the inconspicuous Jindan disciple who followed her, she showed enough respect.

Shu Jiuqing had been to the imperial capital before - at that time she was penniless and could not even afford to stay in the lowest-class inn in the imperial capital. Fortunately, she was quick-witted and found an alley to draw a magic circle to avoid the patrolling Xuan guards during curfew, and she meditated on the ground for one night.

Shu Jiuqing felt that she would never have thought at that time that she could live in the best area of ​​the imperial capital of Xuan Kingdom and enjoy VIP treatment.

The towels and wooden basins in the guest rooms of Ji Mansion are all made of good materials for drawing formations.

So he checked into a five-star hotel and tried to collect the room fee before checking out. If he hadn't been concerned about his master's face, Shujiuqing really wanted to pry up the floor tiles and take them away.

These are all good things!

After placing the wash basin made of Huiyang wood into the storage ring, Shu Jiuqing raised his hand to wipe the non-existent sweat, and a trace of worry flashed across his face:
"I don't know... Did Master have a smooth journey into the palace?"

……

Du Xinghe, who was missed by Jiuqing, came to one of the stars among the countless stars and was sucked into it. In the blink of an eye, he came to a palace surrounded by clouds. There were no servants in the palace, and there was only a cloud bridge leading to the front.

There were so many beautiful sights along the way that Du Xinghe felt a little aesthetically fatigued.

After all this trouble, it’s time to let her meet Emperor Xuan in person.

Thinking of this, Du Xinghe had a strange feeling in her heart - the last time she set foot in the territory of Xuan Kingdom, she kidnapped Xinyue who was supposed to enter the palace, and at that time the palace fighting system advised her to seize the opportunity to enter the palace and set everything right.

But she didn't.

So, this time, she met the emperor as a sword cultivator crossing the galaxy, rather than a concubine waiting to be chosen.

Guan Yu led her in through the Rihua Gate and stopped outside the palace gate to report: "Your Majesty, the person has been brought here."

After a moment, a majestic voice sounded from behind the door:

"Let her in."

Guan Yu signaled her to take off her sword and go in alone.

Du Xinghe seemed to have not received her hint at all. Since Emperor Xuan did not say it explicitly, she went in with the sword.

The hall was warm and cozy, and expensive soul-fixing incense was burning, which not only had the effect of calming the mind and soul, but also greatly improved the efficiency of cultivation. The soul-fixing wood was too rare, and she had only seen one piece in the medicine garden of Miaohuomen, and it was used as a sample.

And these spices, which even Master Rongyu said were expensive, were being burned in the incense burner like firewood.

Emperor Xuan's voice sounded very young, with a kind of pampered calm and indifference. Du Xinghe didn't know his age, but judging by the reign title, he was at least a thousand years old. His cultivation level was also untraceable. Anyway, the Xuan Kingdom boasted about him as a living immortal.

Du Xinghe had never learned the rules of the Xuan Kingdom Palace before, and he was too lazy to think about flattery. He walked straight into the palace to find the owner of the voice.

She just raised her eyes, and there was hesitation in her eyes.

In this moment of hesitation, the palace fighting system came alive——

[It is detected that the host is meeting the emperor. In order to prevent the host from being intimidated by the emperor's aura, the system will make high emotional intelligence praise suggestions based on the characteristics of the emperor the host is meeting! ]

【Scanning...】

[Suggested compliments 1. Your Majesty, your figure is truly magnificent and majestic! ]

[Suggested praise 2. Your Majesty, you are the greatest person I have ever seen... Vulgar content is prohibited, and this suggestion is deleted. ]

Du Xinghe didn't think this was really vulgar.

Because the Xuan Emperor she saw was objectively great——

Inside the hall, which was so high that the top could not be seen, the man in the black dragon robe was about eight hundred meters tall.

What does it mean to be an 800-meter runner?
This means that even if you are not a foot fetishist, all you can see are his beautiful feet.

"Ha ha……"

A silver bell-like laughter sounded from the upper seat, and a woman said coquettishly, "Your Majesty, please let me go down and let me see the legendary Du Xinghe!"

The one who responded to her was a deep and doting male voice: "Okay, I'll put you down."

I saw a huge monster falling from the sky.

It was none other than a hand.

The woman in the bright-colored palace dress was lying on the palm of his hand. When he put her on the ground, Du Xinghe saw this most favored beauty in the harem of Xuan Kingdom, Ji Wuhuo's aunt - Concubine Ji.

In terms of appearance, Concubine Ji's appearance is indeed slightly inferior to her nephew's, but she has a graceful figure and a noble aura nurtured by the natural resources and treasures of the imperial palace, which is another kind of charm. She walked barefoot on the ground and blinked at Du Xinghe: "Hearing is not as good as meeting - when Wu Huo was a child, he always said that he wanted to find a sword-like woman as a Taoist partner. Now all his descriptions have come true."

"I have crossed the galaxy to meet your majesty and the imperial concubine."

Du Xinghe said this and made a simple bow.

Her mind is still on Emperor Xuan.

Does cultivating immortals mean becoming bigger and bigger the more you practice?
Emperor Ying Cang is still in normal shape! Or is this Emperor Xuan's personal preference, just a trick that she can't see through? With the previous experience of observing the star vortex, Du Xinghe was very cautious and did not activate the Purple Extreme Wisdom Pupil to detect whether it was an illusion.

First, using the Purple Wisdom Pupil to observe a powerful being whose cultivation level is far higher than yours is a very unwise and offensive act.

Second, she was afraid that her eyeball would explode again.

"How polite,"

Concubine Ji smiled, took her hand, took off the jade bracelet on her hand, and put it on her hand: "This is a gift from my aunt. It is not a valuable thing. Don't refuse it."

Du Xinghe had no choice but to thank him.

With Concubine Ji in the middle, the atmosphere in the palace was more relaxed than she had expected, until Emperor Xuan said again: "I am very curious about how you took that concubine away. At that time, they were all sure that the one who abducted the concubine must be a Jindan cultivator, and at that time, you should have been in the foundation-building stage."

Emperor Xuan used the word "should", but his tone was very firm.

Du Xinghe concealed the matter of the palace fighting system and attributed everything to a deal between Xinyue and Gonggong.

Hearing that the beauty's spiritual power was able to get a response from Gonggong when it went out of control, Emperor Xuan was also slightly moved. When he learned that she had lost her eyes, arms and womb, he sighed: "I would rather give up my limbs than enter the palace... In fact, if she told me the truth after entering the palace, I would definitely set her free and severely punish Gong Hu and others."

I am innocent, how could I do such a thing as raping a woman?

The regret in his words was so real, as if he was really feeling sorry for an extremely talented cultivator with water spiritual roots.

Before Du Xinghe could answer, he felt a burning sensation coming from the jade bracelet.

The pupils under the black eyelashes moved slightly. After thinking for a while, Du Xinghe changed his words and said, "She doesn't want to enter the palace. In fact, she has her own difficulties."

Emperor Xuan: “Oh?”

"That's because..." Du Xinghe made up a story: "Although she has admired Your Majesty for a long time, she is naturally more attracted to women. Gong Hu wanted to correct her so that he could deceive Your Majesty and benefit his own career."

Based on Du Xinghe's experience of traveling through multiple harems, the emperor may not pursue many things, but he still has to save face.

If Emperor Xuan was really concerned about Xiu Nu's escape, she would not have come to the emperor today in her entirety.

But even though he didn't care, he still wanted to hear a nice answer, a way out that he could happily accept.

At the very least, answers like pursuing free love, or not wanting to enter the palace to serve him, etc., are not allowed.

Even saying that one already had someone in his heart before entering the palace is not a perfect answer.

After much thought, Du Xinghe chose an answer that would be less offensive to the other man's dignity.

——As long as you have not attained enlightenment and ascended to heaven, no matter how high your cultivation level is, you are still a human being. As a human being, there is no need to pretend that you are free from human emotions and desires. It is normal for a person to become more stubborn the longer he lives.

Sure enough, after hearing her answer, Emperor Xuan said with a sudden realization:
"Since you like women, there's nothing you can do about it."

He paused and said with a smile: "The woman she likes, isn't it you?"

Du Xinghe didn't feel honored when he heard this easy-going attitude. Instead, he got goose bumps all over his body.

She gritted her teeth and continued, "Many people think she likes me, but I just want to practice and have no intention of forming a Taoist partner with anyone."

Emperor Xuan didn't say anything, but she felt like she was being watched.

The gazes came from all directions, and it was the same person.

From the inside to the outside, the past and the future seem to be seen through.

This is an absolute crushing of realm.

Just as this divine consciousness was about to penetrate her, the "Gu Shen Jue" in her body glowed slightly, wrapping the Qilin in it and covering up any traces of her and part of the witch clan.

After a while, the uncomfortable feeling of being scrutinized left her.

"Forming a Taoist couple with a suitable cultivator is also a part of cultivation. The two are not in conflict," Emperor Xuan said with a smile as if he was chatting with a junior. "I think the kid from the Ji family is very good. If you two succeed, you can have some connection with me. Since it's a family matter, I won't blame you."

"..."

Before Du Xinghe entered the palace, he thought about many topics of conversation.

I never expected that it would be to urge me to get married.

But think about it -

Emperor Xuan was willing to meet her because he wanted to attract talent, and if he wanted to deeply bind a casual cultivator to his family, marriage would be a great way. As the Xuan Dynasty's immortal cultivation family, Ji Wuhuo had a good relationship with her, and was a ready-made target.

Du Xinghe was really a little panicked this time.

When people are under high pressure, it is inevitable that they will speak without thinking. She couldn't let Emperor Xuan's words fall to the ground, so she could only casually add a sentence: "The young master of the Ji family is very good, but compared with Your Majesty, he is still far behind."

"……I?"

Emperor Xuan was startled.

As soon as he said it, Du Xinghe regretted it.

What if Emperor Xuan thinks what she said is right and wants to take her into the harem!
The palace fighting system is getting excited:
[Successfully flatter the emperor, palace fighting points +10]

[Host, you finally woke up! ! ! ! ]

Before Du Xinghe could come up with words to remedy the situation, Emperor Xuan said with embarrassment: "Your admiration for me... is very good, but you are not the gentle and graceful woman I like, so you'd better not spend your thoughts on me."

Palace Fighting System: [… rejected by the Emperor, Palace Fighting Points -100]

Palace Fighting System: [Congratulations to the host for unlocking the achievement "Declined", this achievement does not award any Palace Fighting points, the host should not be discouraged, keep working hard. ]

From now on, Quebao will not miss a single day and will update 7000 words every day!!!
