I'm Just Making Up The Exercises, My Disciple, Have You Really Mastered Them?

Chapter 59: Xu Yan's Journey to the Imperial Palace

County Magistrate of Cloud Mountain nodded upon hearing this and said, "Alright, mobilize the disciples to search for the precious medicine. However, we should also keep some for ourselves. This medicine might be useful for cultivating the Martial Dao."

The old man in hemp clothes also nodded in agreement.

Shi Er continued, "In addition, the master wants to meet Tianmu."

"Then send the message to Tianmu and let her make the decision herself," the old man in hemp clothes said decisively.

"Furthermore, news about the master in Cloud Mountain County must not be leaked. Otherwise, people from the county, even the capital, will come and disturb the master!" the County Magistrate of Cloud Mountain said in a deep voice.

The experts of Tianmu Sect all nodded.

The opportunity is right in front of them, it's just a matter of who can seize it.

They didn't even inform Kou Ruo Zhi and others in the county.

Cloud Mountain County was not big. Li Xuan strolled around for half an hour and then returned to his residence.

Outside the courtyard gate, a figure stood respectfully, holding a box in his hand.

"County Magistrate of Cloud Mountain?" Li Xuan said in surprise.

These guys used to avoid him like a cat seeing a mouse, so why are they coming to him now?

"I dare not, I dare not! You can just call me Xiaoshan," the County Magistrate of Cloud Mountain nodded and bowed, adopting a very humble posture.

"I heard that the senior is accepting disciples, so I came to congratulate you. This is just a small token of my appreciation. I hope the senior won't dislike it!" The County Magistrate of Cloud Mountain raised the box in his hand.

"I appreciate it, I appreciate it!" Li Xuan took the box.

"I'll accept the gift. If there's nothing else..."

"I'll take my leave!" The County Magistrate of Cloud Mountain bowed and stepped back.

Li Xuan nodded. He was a sensible guy.

After entering the courtyard, Li Xuan opened the box and saw a ginseng plant.

"This is not an ordinary thousand-year-old ginseng. Tianmu Sect really has a lot of precious medicine. My disciples won't lack the necessary medicine for cultivation anymore," Li Xuan was very satisfied with this.

Just as he put down the ginseng, someone else arrived.

Li Xuan sat still in his chair and let Meng Chong answer the door.

The person who came was an old man in hemp clothes, also bringing medicine.

Li Xuan didn't hesitate and accepted it directly.

"There are so many precious medicines in the endless mountains. It must be something extraordinary," Li Xuan pondered.

His speculation was further confirmed.

Of course, the specifics were still uncertain.

One by one, the experts of Tianmu Sect came to pay their respects to Li Xuan, and he welcomed them all.

He could accept their gifts, but if Tianmu Sect dared to cause trouble under his name, he wouldn't be polite!

These medicines could be considered as the payment for the lives of the experts of Tianmu Sect.

Meng Chong was contemplating the technique of the Great Sun Golden Bell Shield in the courtyard, but he hadn't made any progress yet. Li Xuan wasn't in a hurry either.

In the evening, Shi Er came with a chicken.

However, he was very sensible and didn't look for Li Xuan. Instead, he handed the chicken to Meng Chong with a smile and said, "Master Meng, here's the chicken you wanted!"

"Okay!" Meng Chong took the chicken and turned to kill it, preparing to make chicken soup.

After bowing to Li Xuan, Shi Er left.

"Interesting, he's quite clever," Li Xuan silently nodded as he watched Shi Er, who closed the courtyard gate cautiously.

Having a messenger like him wouldn't be bad.

I'll observe him a little longer.

If he's clever enough and can handle things well, I can make him my servant.

I can't always let my disciple do everything. After all, his main focus should be on cultivation.

If my disciple isn't diligent in cultivation, how can he improve his strength?

The capital of the Qi Kingdom.

The shock brought by Xu Yan still hasn't subsided.

However, many second-generation officials and nobles, leading their guards and servants, have left the capital and gone to various mountains to seek out experts.

The royal family has mobilized all intelligence resources and all hidden spies in order to find experts.

The Crown Prince is even preparing to personally go and seek out experts.

He has suffered the most damage in this turmoil.

He sees the position of the Crown Prince, which was within his grasp, slipping away.

The ministers who originally supported him have all distanced themselves from him as if avoiding the plague.

If we were to say who is the most frustrated in the capital, it would undoubtedly be the Qi Emperor.

He is extremely frustrated. As the ruler of a country, he doesn't dare to show any displeasure towards a minister.

What's even more outrageous is that Xu Yan has gone too far in his arrogance!

He comes into the palace day after day, especially wandering around the harem.

Apart from the Qi Emperor and the underage princes, which man can enter the harem?

But Xu Yan goes in during the day and also at night!

If Xu Yan went to sleep with concubines or princesses, the Qi Emperor would feel a little better, at least there would be a way to win Xu Yan over by sending concubines or princesses. These are small matters.

But!

Xu Yan goes to the harem, claiming that it is to cultivate his state of mind!

According to him, at his age, it is the stage when he is most attracted to women. If he can remain unaffected by beauty and maintain a calm state of mind, his martial dao will undoubtedly become stronger!

He will not be disturbed by external things and will be able to better comprehend martial arts.

The most beautiful women in the world are in the harem!

There are all kinds of beauties, so that's why he goes to the harem!

It would have been fine if it was just that, but Xu Yan didn't hide it from anyone when he entered the harem.

How do outsiders see it?

He claims that he is entering the palace to cultivate his state of mind and not sleeping with his concubines or princesses. Who the hell would believe that?

The gazes of the courtiers towards him are all strange!

It's as if he is not wearing a crown on his head, but a green hat!

If he really wore a green hat, it would be fine, but he didn't. It feels really uncomfortable to be misunderstood and wrongly accused!

The Qi Emperor is frustrated.

But Xu Yan thinks that the Qi Emperor is actually quite good. He is cultivating his state of mind in the harem, and instead of getting angry, the Qi Emperor even lets the concubines dance to help him cultivate his state of mind!

"Qi Emperor, you're quite a good person. Why would you want to copy my family? Could it be that the county magistrate below is causing trouble?"

Xu Yan comes out of the harem, his state of mind calm. He feels that his state of mind of "having no women in his heart" has greatly improved.

His martial dao is firm and not disturbed by external things.

"My master said that having no women in one's heart is like cultivating with a divine presence. It is truly profound.

"At my age, I am most easily attracted to women. If I can achieve not being swayed by women, having a clear mind, and not being disturbed by external things, I will naturally be able to comprehend martial arts without being affected by external things.

"I can devote myself wholeheartedly to comprehending martial arts."

The more Xu Yan thinks about it, the more he feels that what his master said about "having no women in one's heart, cultivating with a divine presence" is extremely profound.

Moreover, he is at the age when he is most easily attracted to women. Women are the biggest external distraction for him. If he can overcome it, no external distractions can disturb his state of mind.

Xu Yan feels that he has achieved it.

The beauties in the Qi Emperor's harem do not move him!

"I have vaguely understood the Innate Realm martial arts..."

Xu Yan is happy in his heart. He comes out of the harem and walks in the palace. It happens to be after court, and the courtiers are leaving.

When they see Xu Yan, their expressions are strange.

He came out of the harem again?

The courtiers secretly glance at Guo Rongshan, wondering if the Grand Elder has also entered the harem?

Just thinking about it is exciting!

When will they have a chance to enter the harem and see the beauties?

Xu Yan nods to the Qi Emperor, as a way of greeting, and is absorbed in thinking about the Innate Realm martial arts. He doesn't notice the strange expressions of the courtiers and leaves the palace directly.

The Qi Emperor sees him off with a smile. After Xu Yan leaves, the Qi Emperor takes a deep breath and his expression becomes serious. He beckons Guo Yun to come over.

He issues an edict: "Guo Aiqing, the courtiers have shown no decorum when leaving court. They have violated the court's etiquette. Give each of them twenty strokes to serve as a warning!"

Guo Yun is taken aback and silently nods: "I will comply with the order!"

This nephew of his, why did he have to be so open about going to the harem? His Majesty still has some face, after all.

Only he can handle the matter of punishing the courtiers.

On this day, the courtiers collectively receive a beating outside the palace. Their faces are black with anger, cursing the dog emperor in their hearts!
