Chapter 612 Entering the Palace
"Master, what are we going to do in the Imperial City?" Shen Hanyue asked hurriedly.

Qin Ruolan was followed by a middle-aged woman in blue clothes, carrying two dark purple wooden boxes.

The middle-aged woman in blue still has her charm and the beauty she had in her youth can still be seen.

The wooden box was one meter square and felt light as a feather in her hands.

"Go meet Concubine Hui, my senior sister."

Shen Hanyue asked curiously: "Does our Xuanyin Palace also have disciples entering the palace?"

"Yeah, it's the same as yours." Qin Ruolan said with a smile: "The rules down there are similar to ours, they are all modeled after here."

"Can we go with you?" Shen Hanyue asked hurriedly, "We haven't had a chance to go out and see the world since we came here from Xiaotianwaitian. We don't know what this place looks like."

She looked at Qin Ruolan eagerly.

Qin Ruolan saw that Xiao Ruoling also had a curious look on her face. Although Zhao Qingying was cold, she still couldn't hide her eagerness.

She smiled and said, "Okay, your cultivation is still too shallow, so you need to be careful."

She thought for a moment and waved, "Come in."

The three women followed into the hall.

Xiao Ruoling glanced at Shen Hanyue, and Shen Hanyue smiled at her proudly.

She knew what Xiao Ruoling was thinking and took the initiative to speak.

Qin Ruolan waved.

The middle-aged woman in green put down the two dark purple boxes, came to a cupboard against the east wall, and took out a small box.

The small box, one foot square, was carved from white jade and engraved with exquisite patterns: flowers on one side, grass on one side, and strange beasts on the other side.

She handed the box to the round table in front of Qin Ruolan.

Qin Ruolan opened it, and suddenly a precious light flashed.

Shen Hanyue came over curiously: "What is this, Master?"

Qin Ruolan smiled and said, "I'll give you something to defend yourself."

There are nine small compartments in the box, and each compartment contains a piece of jewelry.

A emerald green jade hairpin, a white jade necklace, flower-shaped silver earrings, a purple gold bracelet with a phoenix pattern, and a dark ring.

"Each of you pick one." Qin Ruolan pointed at the small box: "The effects are similar. They can stimulate a divine energy to protect the body for half an hour."

"So powerful?" Shen Hanyue was immediately amazed: "Half an hour of divine power? That means that even we in the Divine Transformation Realm can escape?"

Qin Ruolan said: "You all have Xuanguang Shuttles. After blocking an attack, you can activate the Xuanguang Shuttles to escape."

"After using it, can you use it again?"

"If you use up one hour, you have to wait a day for the next one. It's best not to use up a full hour. The shorter the time, the faster the recovery time."

"Master, can it control the switch by itself?"

"Well, after you make your choice, start the ritual. After the ritual, you will be able to control the switch."

Shen Hanyue looked at the nine treasures excitedly, turned her head and said, "Senior Sister, you choose first."

Xiao Ruoling said: "You first, then Junior Sister Zhao."

Zhao Qingying said, "Junior Sister Shen, you choose first."

Qin Ruolan looked at the three of them with a smile, very satisfied with their humility.

Shen Hanyue laughed and said, "Then I will choose this jade hairpin."

This jade hairpin is the simplest and most rustic one, and it is very common to wear it on the head.

Zhao Qingying chose the white jade necklace, while Xiao Ruoling chose the black ring.

She remembered that Chu Zhiyuan also had an iron ring.

"This is the method of refining the mind." Qin Ruolan opened the second layer of the box, took out a thin piece of paper, and handed it to Xiao Ruoling: "You can practice it on the way later."

Xiao Ruoling took it, scanned it, and then handed it to Zhao Qingying.

Zhao Qingying scanned it and handed it to Shen Hanyue.

Shen Hanyue also looked at it, and then returned his hands to Qin Ruolan.

Qin Ruolan nodded secretly.

It seems that the three girls all have photographic memories, and they are indeed people with extraordinary understanding.

"Then let's go." Qin Ruolan said with a smile: "Let's hurry over there as soon as possible, and then walk slowly when we come back."

She stood up.

The middle-aged woman in blue quickly closed the box and put it back into the cupboard, then picked up two dark purple boxes and moved closer.

Qin Ruolan looked at the three girls, took out a stack of veils from her sleeves, handed them to the three girls and said with a smile: "We, the disciples of Xuanyin Palace, have to wear this when we go out... Are you ready? I will also use the Xuanguang Shuttle."

The three women took the veil and looked down.

I found that there were two bright moons embroidered on the veil. As the veil fluttered, the moons seemed to be glowing faintly.

So he put it on his face, covering his mouth, nose and jaw, leaving only a pair of eyes exposed.

They found the veil wonderful, so thin and light that it didn't feel like they were wearing a veil at all.

Shen Hanyue reached out and pulled at it. If she hadn't touched it, she would have thought the veil had fallen off by itself.

Qin Ruolan also put on a white veil and said with a smile, "Then let's go."

The middle-aged woman in blue also put on a white veil. The crystal waist badge on Qin Ruolan's waist flashed, and the five women disappeared at the same time.

……

The next moment, they appeared in a lush forest.

Xiao Ruoling felt that this was very much like a forest in a secret place, with extremely lush vegetation and full of vitality.

The trees are tall and strong, the short ones are a dozen meters high and the tall ones are over thirty meters high. The thin ones can be hugged by one person, while the thick ones require three people to hug.

The grass and branches are crisscrossed, like a big net woven throughout the forest, making it impossible to pass through.

Shen Hanyue kicked the ground and jumped straight up to the top of a tree that was several dozen meters high and so thick that two people could hug it together, and looked down at the surroundings.

Her voice came from afar: "Master, where is this?"

Qin Ruolan said, "Ten miles outside the imperial city, do you see that side?"

"See? That's the Imperial City?" Shen Hanyue said in amazement, "The city wall is quite high."

She felt that Yujing was already grand enough, but compared to the big city in front of her, Yujing became a small town.

The city wall is a hundred meters high, and the bricks are mottled and green, exuding a sense of vicissitudes and heaviness under the sun.

She could see the cold gleam of swords on the wall, like gems turning in the sun.

Qin Ruolan floated up and slowly rose higher.

Xiao Ruoling and Zhao Qingying also used their lightness skills to fly high into the sky and land on the treetops.

A middle-aged woman in green also jumped onto the treetop carrying two purple boxes.

Chu Zhiyuan was not in a hurry to expand the range of the cave.

He was now certain that Qin Ruolan could not sense him.

The initial judgment is that it is most likely due to his own supernatural powers.

Before he knew it, the range of the cave illumination had reached twenty kilometers.

But for the sake of caution, he still tried his best to hide his presence and did not rashly look too far.

Qin Ruolan pointed to the huge city over there and said, "That's the imperial city. Let's go in while it's still light, or we won't be able to enter the palace."

She walked leisurely, gliding lightly in the air as if someone was pushing her.

Xiao Ruoling and the other three girls used their lightness skills to catch up.

A middle-aged woman in blue followed closely behind, carrying two dark purple boxes, which did not affect her lightness and elegance at all.

When the group arrived at the South Gate, there were two long lines outside the gate.

One path is for a single pedestrian, who is walking very fast; the other path is for a convoy of carriages, who are walking a little slower.

The twelve city guards guarding the gate were watching eagerly. Two of them held a jade token in their hands, which they touched on the forehead of each passerby and then waved to let them pass.

The guard in charge saw the five girls from afar and hurriedly stepped forward, clasping his fists and bowing: "Fairies, please come in quickly."

Qin Ruolan nodded slightly, and without stopping, she led Xiao Ruoling and the others into the city.

"Master, what are they checking?" Shen Hanyue asked curiously.

Qin Ruolan said: "Investigate whether it is a demon clan and prevent them from sneaking in."

"Monster clan?"

"The demons have the ability to change, and we are hard to guard against. Fortunately, we have the demon-repelling talisman. No matter how they change, they cannot be hidden from the demon-repelling talisman."

"The demon clan..."

"You won't be able to touch the demon clan's affairs for the time being, so practice hard first. Let's go to the palace first."

As soon as you step into the city, you are overwhelmed by the huge noise, hustle and bustle, and the flow of people.

Qin Ruolan walked in front, and the invisible force pushed the pedestrians away like a tide. She walked leisurely in the dense crowd at an extremely fast speed.

Xiao Ruoling and the other two girls performed Qinggong while looking around.

At first glance, it doesn't look much different from Yujing.

The same prosperity and bustle, the same atmosphere of decadence and extravagance.

They soon arrived in front of a majestic red wall and golden gate.

The eight guards guarding outside the purple-gold gate were wearing purple-gold armor and looked very imposing.

Xiao Ruoling and the other two girls suddenly felt as if a mountain was pressing down on them.

If Qin Ruolan hadn't released her aura to cover them, they would not have been able to withstand such a powerful force.

Qin Ruolan took out her badge and entered the palace gate unhindered. She walked around the front halls and came to a courtyard in the harem.

The three characters "Fuhui Palace" are inscribed on the plaque outside the courtyard.

An old eunuch with white beard and beard was guarding the door, obviously waiting for them.

He walked out of the courtyard with a solemn expression, clasped his fists and said, "Miss Qin, the Queen is waiting."

Qin Ruolan frowned slightly: "Well, go in."

Shen Hanyue looked at Xiao Ruoling.

Xiao Ruoling shook her head slightly.

They felt something was wrong, and the atmosphere did not sound good.
