The Strongest Family In The Ages

Li Daoxuan rubbed his eyes and stopped looking around.

What Li Daoxuan didn't know was that deep in the palace, an old man who was meditating suddenly opened his eyes.

A hint of surprise flashed in the old man's eyes as he muttered to himself, "Why is there a disturbance in the Luck Golden Dragon?"

But then the old man slowly closed his eyes again.

Princess Yongning brought Li Daoxuan to the front of the Zixu Hall. This time, she didn't rush in directly, but obediently had someone report.

"Princess Chang, His Majesty invites you to enter."

Princess Yongning nodded and led Li Daoxuan into the Zixu Hall.

As soon as they entered the hall, Li Daoxuan felt a strong aura locking onto him.

Li Daoxuan looked up and saw a dignified middle-aged man looking at him. Li Daoxuan calmly stared back at him.

The two of them looked at each other without speaking.

Emperor Zhou was secretly surprised. He had never seen a young person of the younger generation who could remain fearless under his oppressive aura.

The imperial authority was as majestic as the might of the heavens. Even someone of the same level would have to bow their head in front of him.

What surprised Emperor Zhou even more was that he couldn't see through Li Daoxuan's cultivation level.

However, he quickly thought of a possibility.

Possessing a valuable treasure that concealed his cultivation level, but one thing was certain, Li Daoxuan was definitely a powerful cultivator.

"Cough! Brother Emperor, I have brought the person here for you."

"Why aren't you speaking?"

Li Daoxuan didn't wait for Emperor Zhou to speak, but instead bowed and said, "I am Li Daoxuan, I greet Your Majesty."

This was the big fat sheep he had set his sights on, so he should give him some face.

"Mmm! Not bad, you are quite good."

Emperor Zhou had already held Li Daoxuan in high regard as an alchemist and a craftsman, but now that they met, Emperor Zhou suddenly felt a bit regretful.

Of course, he didn't regret meeting Li Daoxuan.

He regretted his own hastiness. He shouldn't have arranged for his daughter, Princess Honglian, to marry the Crown Prince of the Great Yan Dynasty.

If he could arrange a marriage with the young man in front of him, could he win him over?

Emperor Zhou was clearly overthinking!

But it was just a momentary regret, and he immediately dismissed the thought.

The alliance between nations was obviously more beneficial to the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Moreover, the news of Princess Honglian and the Crown Prince of the Great Yan Dynasty becoming Dao companions had already spread. It was too late for him to regret it now.

Emperor Zhou looked at Princess Yongning beside him.

He looked at Princess Yongning in a daze.

Emperor Zhou chose to give up again. Princess Yongning still held considerable power in the Great Zhou Dynasty. Emperor Zhou wanted to recruit a husband for her to marry into the imperial family.

Li Daoxuan was unaware of Emperor Zhou's many thoughts in such a short time.

"I wonder what Your Majesty wants from me?" Li Daoxuan asked directly.

Emperor Zhou came back to his senses and said, "Li Xiaoyou, I would like to ask you to refine a batch of pills for the Great Zhou Dynasty, a large batch of pills."

"I wonder if Li Xiaoyou can offer a discount?"

After Emperor Zhou finished speaking, he couldn't help but blush. It was really damaging to his dignity as an emperor to haggle over prices.

But for the sake of the Great Zhou Dynasty, he was willing to swallow his pride.

"Sure!"

"If Li Xiaoyou has any demands, please speak up. I will definitely satisfy you."

"I need Void Abyss Stones as compensation!"

"No problem!"

Emperor Zhou breathed a sigh of relief. Although Void Abyss Stones were also precious, they didn't provide much help on the battlefield. The imperial treasury still had some reserves.

"I don't know what kind of elixirs Your Majesty needs. Please provide me with a list and prepare the medicinal ingredients."

"Here you go!" A storage ring appeared in front of Li Daoxuan.

It seems that Emperor Zhou was well prepared.

Li Daoxuan took the storage ring and used his divine sense to examine it, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

Could it be that Emperor Zhou emptied the national treasury? The storage ring was filled with piles of medicinal ingredients, and there were ingredients of various levels.

Looking at the list of elixirs to be refined, Li Daoxuan was once again astonished.

The types of elixirs needed were not many, just some healing, spiritual power recovery, and mind-clearing elixirs. However, the quantity was simply too large.

This didn't seem like something for ordinary people to use, but rather something prepared for the army.

Li Daoxuan was surprised for a moment, but he didn't ask about it.

He didn't care about what these elixirs were used for. As long as he could make a big profit, it didn't matter.

Although there were many alchemists in Da Zhou, no one could refine compound elixirs, and these compound elixirs were extremely effective.

For example, on the battlefield, after a fierce battle, it was highly possible to suffer severe injuries, depleted spiritual power, and even poisoning. All these problems could be solved with just one compound elixir.

"Your Majesty, these elixirs can all be refined."

"I need some time."

"Hahaha... No problem, I'm not in a hurry." Emperor Zhou was in a good mood and said to Princess Yongning, "Yongning, take Li Xiaoyou to retrieve the empty Ming Stone."

"Oh! And take him to my personal treasure vault as well, let him choose three items."

"What? Brother, are you not joking?"

Princess Yongning found it hard to believe. After all, she herself had only been to Emperor Zhou's treasure vault a few times.

When she wanted to ask her brother for a treasure, he didn't agree.

Li Daoxuan was taken aback. This was a good opportunity. "Your Majesty, I'm really sorry about this."

"I'm mainly doing this for Your Majesty's face, and Princess Yongning is also my friend. You don't have to be so polite."

"Hahaha... Young friend, go! You must go!"

Yongning took Li Daoxuan and left, holding a token in her hand. This was the pass to enter the treasure vault.

Along the way, Yongning kept muttering to herself.

"Brother is really biased."

"I've been to his treasure vault less than three times."

"The treasures I obtained from his vault are less than three items, and he's giving you three at once."

Li Daoxuan couldn't help but laugh. "If the princess likes it, I can give you one."

"Really? Forget it!"

As the princess, she actually lacked nothing.

"Are we there yet?" They had been walking in circles for a long time.

Almost there!

Yongning brought Li Daoxuan to a shrine, and with a flash of light, they disappeared.

"Is this an underground palace?" Li Daoxuan asked as he looked at the magnificent building in front of him.

"This is not a place where ordinary people can enter. You are the first outsider to come here."

Yongning didn't say much and led Li Daoxuan to a palace. She used the token to enter, and the palace doors slowly opened.

"Come in with me!"

Upon entering the treasure vault, Li Daoxuan couldn't help but look around, his eyes dazzled.

Emperor Zhou was indeed a big "fat sheep." At a glance, there wasn't a single ordinary item here.

Everywhere were rare treasures, everywhere were the wonders of the world.

Spiritual Weapons, elixirs, spiritual herbs, spiritual materials... There were even intact corpses of eighth-grade demonic beasts.

"Oh my! What is that?"

Li Daoxuan couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
