From Princess of the Cold Palace to Empress of Heaven

reporter:.

"Could you please be more clear?"

"Okay. Women are pink skulls, men are blue pink skulls..."

"So...you mean—you're not ancient...ahem, so you don't like to eat bones?"

"Um"

Yilu nodded lightly. The next second.

Bang-one!

A violent beggar team leader debuts!

The black-haired vigorous dog skillfully put the fainted Sarkaz into a sack, carried her gently, and walked to the depths of the Rhodes Island ship together with the sneering Dubin.

The reporter was stunned, then quietly put away the video equipment, and Sarkaz ruthlessly lit a piece of wax in his heart.

32. In the wild forest, spiritual competition

The group returned to the courtyard.

In the dimly lit hut, Xiao Minghuang was sitting on the bed, and Ye Ruoshui and Lin Wanqiu stood in front of her.

The eyes of the two girls always glanced at each other intentionally or unintentionally, but before making contact, they returned to Xiao Minghuang.

In the quiet and peaceful bedroom, there was a smell of gunpowder for some reason.

Faced with such a situation, Xiao Minghuang couldn't help but frowned slightly, feeling a little tricky, especially since she was already very tired and just wanted to have a good sleep.

"Ruoshui, Wanqiu, you guys go and rest first, we'll talk about things tomorrow."

Xiao Minghuang said softly.

It was said that Ye Ruoshui and Lin Wanqiu were not unreasonable and troublesome girls, and Xiao Minghuang could see the tired look on his face, so he didn't continue to pester her, and left after saying good night.

After the second daughter left, Xiao Minghuang lay on the bed and fell into a deep sleep not long after.

...

The next morning.

After resting all night, Xiao Minghuang slowly opened his eyes, washed up and walked out the door.

The mountains and rocks in the courtyard stand tall, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, and the unique scenery makes people feel refreshed.

Xiao Minghuang sat down on a bamboo chair under the corridor, performed the exercises, and planned to continue practicing.

Boom boom boom!

There was a knock on the door.

"Was it late autumn, or that girl Ruoshui?"

Xiao Minghuang thought so, and when he walked to the door, he saw an unexpected guest.

I saw City Lord Lin standing in front of the door with a smile on his face.

"Did Your Highness Ninth Rest well last night?"

Xiao Minghuang nodded and said:

"City Lord Lin's arrangement of the courtyard is excellent, I am very satisfied."

After a few polite words, the two walked into the pavilion in the courtyard and sat down.

While speaking, Lin Zhengquan took out a storage bag and a brocade box from his sleeve, and placed them on the table.

"Last night, the Chen family was confiscated, and many stolen goods were found, most of which have been handed over to the court. This storage bag contains some spiritual stone pills, and the brocade box is the treasure of the Chen family. Please have a look."

Hearing this, Xiao Minghuang's eyes showed a hint of surprise, the Chen family was convicted last night, and it has only been three or four hours since the Chen family was convicted, the huge Chen family has already been destroyed.

It may be difficult to complete it with the strength of the City Lord's Mansion alone. The three major families have put in a lot of effort, so the benefits will naturally have to be divided.

Xiao Minghuang didn't open the brocade box, but put his spiritual sense into the storage bag first, and found many spiritual stone pills.

There are more than 8000 spirit stones, and there are quite a few elixirs, but most of them are yellow-rank middle and low-grade elixir, and the quality is relatively poor, mostly around [-]%.

After reading the storage bag, the brocade box was opened.

As the box was opened, a strong medicinal fragrance permeated the entire courtyard.

"This elixir is called Yunling elixir, and it is a top-grade yellow-rank elixir. It has strong medicinal power and will help martial artists in the Qi refining realm improve their cultivation. I hope His Highness will accept it."

"Yunling Pill?"

Xiao Minghuang looked at the brocade box.

In the exquisite brocade box, lay a sapphire-like elixir quietly, the brilliance of the whole body was condensed and never scattered, and there were faint fine lines flowing on the surface, constantly pulling the nearby aura of heaven and earth closer to it.

Xiao Minghuang was startled when he saw the flowing lines on the pill.

"This is... Pill pattern?"

Seeing Xiao Minghuang's surprised expression, Lin Zhengquan nodded and smiled:

"Your Highness has good eyesight. The fineness of this pill is more than [-]%, and the pill pattern has been smelted. The efficacy of the medicine lasts for a long time. Even ordinary low-grade pills of the mysterious rank are hard to compare. Otherwise, I would not dare to show my shame in front of Your Highness."

The elixir commonly used by warriors in the body training realm is Shengyuan Pill, which can greatly improve the cultivation base, but when it comes to Qi Refining Boundary, Shengyuan Pill is somewhat dwarfed by the growth of cultivation base.

Therefore, martial artists in the Qi Refining Realm often take Yunling Pills, but this Pill is extremely precious, and only one elderly royal priest can refine it in the entire Great Xia, and the annual output is less than ten pieces!

Xiao Minghuang restrained his expression and looked at Lin Zhengquan with a hint of surprise. The city lord's mansion had full authority over the search of the Chen family. If this precious medicine was embezzled in private, no one would know.

She would not believe that the City Lord's Mansion would be so loyal to her that they would offer the precious pill for nothing.

If it was because she saved Lin Wanqiu, it would be fine to just send some spirit stones.

But this elixir can help a Qi Refining Realm warrior improve a small realm, and the value contained in it may be far beyond what some spirit stones can measure.

"City Lord Lin is too modest. The pills with pill patterns are at least twice as valuable as those without pill patterns."

"Although this elixir is only the top grade of the yellow rank, in terms of price, I am afraid that it is difficult to compare with the inferior grade of the lower grade of the black rank."

Xiao Minghuang once heard from Ye Ruoshui that the fineness of any elixir that is smelted into pill patterns is at least [-]%, and no matter how long it takes, the efficacy of the elixir will not be lost. Once a grade appears, it is a price that is hard to find.

Lin Zhengquan gifted such a precious elixir, which made Xiao Minghuang doubt his intentions.

"City Lord Lin, if you have something to say, it's okay to say it, and you don't have to hide it."

Even Xiao Minghuang couldn't remain indifferent to such a precious pill.

But before accepting it, she must clearly know what the other party's purpose is.

Lin Zhengquan showed a wry smile, and said leisurely:

"His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince laughed at me, it's a long story..."

...

After Lin Zhengquan's explanation, Xiao Minghuang roughly understood the specific situation of the matter.

A month ago, Beiyang City discovered a vein of spirit stone near the border, so they sent people to mine it, but within a few days, disciples from the Golden Elephant Kingdom suddenly appeared, wounded the warriors of Beiyang City, and occupied the vein of spirit stone.

After the matter of the Chen family's collusion with the enemy country was revealed, it was confirmed that he told Jin Xiangguo about it in private and covered it up in private.

The obtained spirit stone mine was taken away, and Beiyang City naturally couldn't swallow this bad breath, so it sent a guard team to try to regain the spirit vein.

But the ruler of the Golden Elephant Kingdom is a strong man in the Divine Sea Realm, and there is no one in Beiyang City who can beat him.

After negotiations and concessions, the two sides decided to use contests to resolve the issue.

After listening to Lin Zhengquan's narration, Xiao Minghuang realized that the key to the matter lies in the spirit stone veins, so he asked:

"How many spirit stones can be produced by this spirit stone vein every year, it can cause [@

Lin Zhengquan seemed to hesitate for a moment, and replied: "The annual output should reach [-] spirit stones."

Hearing this number, Xiao Minghuang's heart shuddered. Such a huge number was indeed enough to cause a fight between two major forces.

"Your Highness, this matter is not only related to the number of spirit stones, but also to my Great Xia's face. If we make concessions today, the Golden Elephant Kingdom will definitely make progress in the future. If things go on like this, the country will be ruined!"

Lin Zhengquan looked excited and impassioned.

"Oh? Since the problem is so serious, why not report it to the court and ask the royal family to enshrine it?"

Xiao Minghuang noticed the loopholes in the other party's words, so he asked.

The Great Xia royal family enshrined them all in the Divine Sea Realm for many years, with high strength and a large number of people. Even if they look at the 36 countries in the southern border, there are few enemies.

What's more, Emperor Xia is at the peak of the Divine Sea Realm, and is known as the number one powerhouse under the Spirit Seed Realm. How could he be afraid of a little Golden Elephant King?

Hearing Xiao Minghuang's question, Lin Zhengquan showed a look of embarrassment.

"His Royal Highness knows that if such a beautiful place as the Lingshi mine vein is reported to the imperial court, it will be considered good if Beiyang City can get [-]%..."

Having said that, Lin Zhengquan paused, and then solemnly said:

"If His Highness helps to seize the spiritual veins, then [-]% of the annual output of the spiritual veins will belong to His Highness, how about it?"

Lingmai produces a thousand spirit stones every year, and [-]% of them are [-], which can be regarded as a hemorrhage.

But facing such favorable conditions, Xiao Minghuang shook his head.

"I'm only at the Qi Refining Realm. Even if I want to help you, I can't do anything."

Lin Zhengquan explained:

"Your Highness does not know that this competition is limited to the younger generation, and there will be no big fights."

"Your Highness, the young Tianjiao, is extremely powerful. He has reached the fourth level of Qi refining at the age of fourteen. Looking at the entire southern region, there are very few existences."

"And the most talented young genius in the Golden Elephant Kingdom is only at the first level of Qi Refining. How can he be the enemy of His Highness?"

"The reason why I troubled Your Highness to take action is because after the Chen family was destroyed, only the City Lord's Mansion and the three major families were left in Beiyang City, and they couldn't even get the number of people to appear on the stage."

Xiao Minghuang ignored those rainbow farts in front of her, frowned slightly, and asked:

"Beiyang City is the largest city in the north of my Great Xia, how could it wither so far?"

Lin Zhengquan sighed softly and explained:

"Your Highness does not know that although Beiyang City is the largest city in the north, there are no spiritual veins and no spiritual peaks nearby, and there is an extreme shortage of spiritual stones and elixir. However, it has to support a huge army and is always on guard against the invasion of the Golden Elephant Sect. , the finances in the city have long been overwhelmed, if not for the imperial court's occasional support for Lingshi, the [-] troops would have dispersed in a hurry!"

Xiao Minghuang asked:

"When I passed through the wild forest, I saw that there are many beautiful places in the forest. Although the quality of the elixir is not high, there are also a lot of them. Why doesn't the Lord Lin develop the wild forest to use as military funds?"

Lin Zhengquan gave a wry smile, and said:

"My father tried this method when he was alive, but there are many ferocious beasts in the wild forest. Whenever the soldiers cultivate a spiritual field, those ferocious beasts will sneak in at night and eat up the spiritual field. It is impossible to guard against."

"Not to mention, if the spiritual field is reclaimed too much, it will also trigger a wave of beasts. Hundreds of thousands of fierce beasts riot together. It is really shocking. Even the strong in the Divine Sea Realm will find it difficult to resist."

"Ten years ago, the spiritual field we cultivated in the wild forest was destroyed by a beast tide. Many soldiers lost their bones in the disaster, and those who survived had lingering fears, and never dared to go into the wild forest again. "

"Even my father was severely injured in that beast horde. He only lived for more than three hundred years, and he drove west before his destiny."

Having said this, Lin Zhengquan's expression darkened.

The old Beiyang City Lord was a strong man in the Divine Sea Realm, with a lifespan of [-] years, so naturally he didn't die in the [-]th year of knowing his destiny.

Lin Zhengquan's Mandate of Heaven refers to suffering death before reaching the end of life.

With a lifespan of five hundred years in the Shenhai Realm, Xiao Minghuang naturally knew that the old Beiyang city lord died of serious injuries at the age of more than three hundred, which can be called an untimely death.

Xiao Minghuang's face was slightly startled, she grew up in the capital since she was a child, she didn't know that there was such a past in Beiyang City.

"The soldiers of Beiyang City have worked hard to guard the border. After returning to the capital, this princess will definitely ask the emperor for Beiyang City's merits!"

Hearing this, Lin Zhengquan showed gratitude, and immediately stood up and bowed down.

"With His Highness's words, my pain of waiting for so many years is not in vain!"

Knowing the current predicament of Beiyang City, Xiao Minghuang no longer refused, and agreed to the martial arts competition.

33. Your Highness said this to me, will she not be angry if she knows?

After discussing the matter of the spiritual vein, Lin Zhengquan suddenly showed embarrassment and hesitated for a long time without saying a word.
