Huangxiu

Chapter 113 Approaching
It snowed heavily overnight, and Yujing City was covered with snow.

The same was true for Prince Qing's Palace, with thick white snow weighing down the roofs and tree branches.

Tingtao Courtyard was covered in snow.

In the morning light, Chu Zhiyuan, wearing a loose white robe, stood in the Zi Yang stance in the heavy snow in the courtyard, practicing the Great Zi Yang Jue.

Heat surged all over his body, and the snow within a meter around him gradually melted.

The aura of the Great Purple Yang Art became more and more mellow.

The twelfth floor is both deeper and purer than the eleventh floor, and the Great Purple Yang Technique has also undergone subtle adjustments.

The practice becomes smoother and smoother, as if you are slightly drunk or soaking in a hot spring.

The biting cold air could not enter his body, but it was so clear and almost sweet, and so pure that every alveolus seemed to be stretching and cheering.

He smiled in the morning light.

The purple light scattered from the void was even more intense, twice as intense as before.

These purple rays merged into the misty purple air, causing subtle changes in the purple air.

This change is extremely slight. Without supersensory perception, it takes a long time for one to feel the change.

As his realm improved, more and more purple light was attracted.

He couldn't imagine how much purple light the Zi Yang Sutra could absorb and how rich it would be when practiced to the Grandmaster level.

The only one who practiced Zi Yang Sutra around them was Chu Qingfeng, but Chu Qingfeng never practiced in front of them. He just stood aside with his hands behind his back.

Chu Zhiyuan understood the reason.

The Grand Master's cultivation would emit an astonishing aura, making those of them, both acquired and innate, feel as if they were standing in a raging wave, unable to practice.

Therefore, he didn't know what the other masters who practiced the Zi Yang Sutra were like.

Tingtao Courtyard was silent, and the chirping of birds on the tree branches could be heard clearly.

Zou Fang stood beside the pavilion. Two of Mo Yi's four daughters were guarding outside the gate of the courtyard, while the other two went to notify various places.

Time passes slowly.

Sun rise.

The Prince Qing's Mansion was still very quiet.

Mo Yi had already given orders that the prince was practicing martial arts in the courtyard this morning and should not be disturbed, so all the servants in the palace walked very carefully and did not sweep the snow.

When the sun rose higher and the purple light disappeared, Chu Zhiyuan put away the Purple Yang Pillar.

Prince Qing's mansion suddenly became lively.

Some were sweeping the snow, some were washing, some were cooking, some were sweeping the floor, some were sweeping the floor, and some were feeding the horses. Everyone was busy with their own work, and it was in full swing.

……

Chu Zhiyuan entered the house and placed the Miaoling Pearl into the cold jade box.

He hung the flying dragon ball back under his neck and picked up the last flying dragon bone.

The third level of the Dragon Transformation Art surged, continuously absorbing the aura of the flying dragon bone and integrating it into the purple gold skeleton.

The ability of the purple gold skeleton to absorb the aura of the third level of the Dragon Transformation Art was getting weaker and weaker. He felt that it had almost reached its limit and was almost perfect.

This one dragon bone is enough.

Therefore, the fifth-grade skills do not need to be exchanged for flying dragon bones.

Now it seems that there is no need to exchange for Miaowu Pills. With Miaolingzhu, it is equivalent to countless Miaowu Pills, so there are more choices.

He returned to the house, and his super sense was still spying on him relentlessly, trying to find a way to invade and see through the magic pearl.

But I could never get in.

The Magic Pearl has a strange power that keeps the super-sensory tentacles out.

However, the super sense did not give him any danger warning, so he was now less vigilant towards the Miao Lingzhu.

Close the cold jade box and don’t take the Miaolingzhu out for the time being to avoid it being stolen.

He got up and had breakfast with his family.

-

"I found out."

During the meal, Bai Ningshuang suddenly came closer and lowered her voice, which was a bit sneaky and made Chu Zhiyuan smile.

Bai Ningshuang lowered her voice and asked, "Where did Concubine Zhen come from?"

"Where?" Chu Yi came closer, his eyes shining, "Mom, don't keep me in suspense, tell me quickly."

Chu Minghou looked at them helplessly, smiled and ate, but did not come over. He was not interested in these things, but was interested in the painting scroll and the like-minded painters.

I always want to find out which great painter is visiting Beijing and invite him to come and have some exchanges with us.

Bai Ningshuang said excitedly: "No! Worry! Teaching!"

Chu Zhiyuan was stunned: "Is it really the Worry-Free Sect?"

"No doubt about it!" Bai Ningshuang said proudly, "Your Majesty has been holding it in for a long time, but I finally got it out of you!"

“Wuyou Sect…” Chu Zhiyuan looked towards the direction of the imperial palace and asked casually, “Mother, are there any ladies from the Jiuli Divine Sect and the Yongling Divine Sect in the palace?”

The Queen of the West Palace is from the Yaoyue Palace, and Concubine Zhen is from the Wuyou Sect. So are there also concubines from the Jiuli Divine Sect and the Yongling Divine Sect?
The imperial court and the four major demon sects do not interfere with each other. The fiefdoms of the four major demon sects are independent, and the imperial court will not intervene unless they commit crimes outside of their fiefdoms.

The disciples of the four major demon sects swore not to enter Yujing.

But the emperor actually took the four disciples of the Demon Sect as his concubines. This relationship is too complicated.

"I haven't heard of it." Bai Ningshuang said, "There are also factions in the palace. For example, the queen belongs to the market faction, the queen concubine Zhen belongs to the martial arts faction, and there are also the noble faction, the court officials faction, ... In short, it is very complicated!"

Chu Zhiyuan said: "The water is too deep."

Bai Ningshuang sighed: "It is said that once you enter a mansion, it is like entering a deep sea. Our palace is not that deep, but the inner palace is really unfathomable!"

"Then why was Concubine Zhen banished to the cold palace? Was it because of the poisoning?"

"I don't know about that. Your Majesty doesn't know either. It's not easy to ask others about it. I don't dare to mention it."

"Who do you want to poison in the palace?"

"The emperor has been looking gloomy these past few days. Everyone is being very careful. The atmosphere in the palace is very depressing."

……

After breakfast, he went to the Ministry of Rites to report for duty.

People were sweeping snow in every street and alley, and everyone was sweeping the snow in front of their own doors. With the help of the city patrol guards, the streets of Yujing quickly became clean and tidy again.

The roads were cleared, but the roofs were still covered with half a meter of snow, which shows how heavy the snow was last night.

When we arrived at the Ministry of Rites, the clerks in the yamen were also sweeping the snow, and they were all breathing out white air and steaming hot.

Chu Zhiyuan nodded to the respectful greetings of the clerks one by one, then quickly went into his room, sat down and looked through the files.

Gao Lingfeng came in to report that the case of Fang Xiuhao from Zhenyi Sect had not been fully investigated.

Last night's snowstorm had a great impact on the atmosphere. I'm afraid it won't be very smooth.

Chu Zhiyuan nodded nonchalantly.

Fang Xiuhao is not the only one in the world who died because of his cleverness, and he doesn't feel sorry at all.

But Zhenyi Sect has a connection with Yaoyue Palace, what will Yaoyue Palace do?

Two disciples of Zhenyi Sect were killed, would Yaoyue Palace just sit back and watch?
Gao Lingfeng then reported another matter.

There was a thief in the Archives Department.

The box containing He Jiuji's belongings disappeared.

The heavy snow covered all traces, and people from the Zhenwu Division were asked to investigate but there was no clue. He Jiuji's belongings were of little value, so they were too lazy to investigate further.

Chu Zhiyuan still nodded nonchalantly.

But I felt awe in my heart.

Who would be interested in He Jiuji’s relics?
Of course it’s the Jiuli Divine Sect!
Could it be that the Jiuli Divine Sect knew that the Miaoling Pearl was obtained by He Jiuji?
Or should you cast a wide net and try both, whether there are fish or not?
If it is the former, can I find out about myself?
Gao Lingfeng was the only one who knew that he had taken He Jiuji's belongings.

Gao Lingfeng will not leak it out.

But there is no wall that is impenetrable. Even if he doesn't leak the information, it may be known to the Jiuli Divine Sect.

How does the Nine-Leaving God Church do it?

Thinking of this, he didn't feel worried, just curious.

The Jiuli Divine Sect is not the Yuding Sect and will not do anything to their prince. So what will they do?
-

After coming out of the Ministry of Rites, he returned to his new house and practiced the Heart-searching Sword Technique and the Sky-breaking Sword Technique, and then tried to risk his life to break into the Jade Tower.

Attacking the Jade Tower is most likely to injure the meridians. Once the meridians are injured, they will be immediately restored by the Emperor of Heaven and Empress of Earth.

Just as he expected, it could not be defeated in one blow and required much effort.

Through his super-sensory vision, he felt that it would take a month of hard work to break through the last layer of the Jade Tower and reach innate perfection, thus finding the way to becoming a master.

When he returned to Prince Qing's Mansion at noon, he found a Chenxiang Feiyun carriage parked outside the mansion. He knew it belonged to Duke Kangguo's Mansion.

He frowned and stopped.
