The First Marquis of Daxuan

call.

The flame in Su Mu's hand suddenly subsided.

A few round pills fell into his palm with a plop.

A strong medicinal fragrance filled the air.

Su Mu stretched out his hand and picked up a pill. With a little force from his fingers, he crushed the pill.

He opened his mouth and blew a breath, and immediately a light red powder spread in the air.

Along with a stronger aroma, the temperature of the surrounding air seemed to rise by several degrees.

The South China Sea Dragon King Li Quan and his wife even felt a burning sensation all over their bodies.

The two looked at each other and saw the horror in each other's eyes.

The Fire Sealing Pill was made just like that?

Princess Lu Qian of the South China Sea Dragon King was even more shocked.

The Fire Sealing Pill was the secret recipe of their Lu family, and she was well aware of the difficulty of refining the Fire Sealing Pill.

Back then, the Lu family paid a huge price to invite an alchemist to refine a batch of Fire Sealing Pills.

Lu Qian, the wife of the Dragon King of the South China Sea, looked at Su Mu and thought to herself that with Su Mu's ability, even if he went to the Taixu Holy Land, he would definitely be able to open up a new world easily.

She had not seen many people like this in the Taixu Holy Land.

suddenly.

Su Mu, Lu Qian, the wife of the South China Sea Dragon King, and Li Quan, the South China Sea Dragon King, all looked up at the sky.

I saw two figures disappearing quickly into the horizon as if they were fleeing in panic.

"them--"

Li Quan, the Dragon King of the South China Sea, frowned.

He just saw those two people who seemed to be rushing down from the sky, but halfway through, they turned around and ran as if they had seen something terrible.

He runs so fast.

Li Quan, the Dragon King of the South China Sea, had never seen anyone run so fast in his life.

"Jiawu and Dingchou."

Su Mu looked at the direction where the two figures disappeared, and the expression on his face became somewhat solemn.

"You really have great abilities to be able to escape from the miasma."

"I didn't expect that Yang Xiuhu even got these armors."

Lu Qian, the wife of the Dragon King of the South China Sea, said in a deep voice.

Li Quan, the Dragon King of the South China Sea, was full of questions.

He was confused by what Su Mu and Lu Qian said.

"Are they the Liuding and Liujia?"

Li Quan, the Dragon King of the South China Sea, couldn't help but ask.

"Yes."

The Queen of the South China Sea Dragon King, Lu Qian, said, “They ran away because they smelled the scent of the Fire Sealing Pill.

Unfortunately, they escaped too quickly, otherwise, the power of the Fire Sealing Pill would have been enough to kill them."

Su Mu also smiled helplessly.

He just wanted to try out the efficacy of the Fire Sealing Pill, but how could he have expected to meet Jiawu and Dingchou by such a coincidence.

As a result, they alerted the enemy and they both ran away.

This is not Su Mu's fault. Su Mu did not expect that Jiawu and Dingchou would escape from the miasma.

But that’s okay.

You can escape the first grade, but you can’t escape the second grade.

He has successfully refined the Fire Sealing Pill. Next time he meets the Six Dings and Six Jias, he can naturally take their lives.

"Don't worry about them, let's keep going."

Su Mu said in a deep voice.

…………

Hundreds of miles away.

Jiawu and Dingchou fell to the ground with a bang.

The two looked at each other, both of their eyes filled with horror.

"It's the Fire Sealing Pill!"

After a long while, Jiawu finally spoke. His voice was trembling and his body was shaking slightly, causing the blood-red scales on his body to make a rustling sound.

Ding Chou did not laugh at Jiawu's cowardice because her situation was not much better than Jiawu's.

"How could Su Mu have the Fire Sealing Pill? Didn't His Majesty say that there would be no Fire Sealing Pill in the outer realm?"

Ding Chou said.

"Do you still believe that Su Mu is from the outside world?"

Jiawu took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down, he said in a deep voice, "If he is really a native foreigner, how could he have such strength?

He is also proficient in everything from alchemy to weapon forging.

In my opinion, he is the disciple carefully trained by the great sects in the Taixu Holy Land that the master mentioned! "

"If that's the case, can we still kill him?"

Ding Chou said with lingering fear.

Now it is no longer a question of whether to kill Su Mu or not. They almost died at Su Mu's hands just now.

If they hadn't been quick to see the opportunity, they would have been affected by the power of the Fire Sealing Pill if they had gotten any closer.

"Let's go back and see the master first. The matter of the Fire Sealing Pill is extraordinary, and the master must be informed immediately."

There was a flash of struggle in Jiawu's eyes, and then he said slowly, "Those Night Owl Guards didn't expect Su Mu to have the Greedy Wolf Stone, so they ended up like this. We can't repeat the same mistake."

Ding Chou nodded in agreement.

The two of them took a breath and finally recovered some strength.

They were so scared that they ran away desperately and almost fainted.

The two of them bypassed the direction where they met Su Mu before, took off into the air, and flew towards the Daxuan Capital City.

…………

It was more than ten days later that Su Mu brought the South China Sea Dragon King and his wife to Daxuan Capital.

They could have been faster.

But along the way, they saw Daxuan's army fighting with the Zhang family everywhere.

In order to avoid being affected, they often had to take a detour.

It’s not that Su Mu and the South China Sea Dragon King and his wife were afraid of either side.

With the strength of the three of them, no army from either side can hurt them.

However, they don’t want to interfere in the fight between the two sides now. After all, they have grudges against both sides, and it is not appropriate to help either side.

"In war, the common people always suffer."

Li Quan, the Dragon King of the South China Sea, sighed.

Along the way, there were displaced refugees everywhere.

"If you are interested, after you defeat Yang Xiuhu, you can become the Xuan Emperor. If you have such compassion for the world, you will definitely be a good emperor."

Su Mu said lightly.

"Me? To be the Xuan Emperor? Don't be ridiculous."

Li Quandao, Dragon King of the South China Sea.

"Besides you, who else in the Li family can be the emperor?"

Su Mu said, "Oh, yes, there is also Li Chuan.

He is now in the fusion realm. If he is lucky enough not to become an idiot, he will be able to compete with you in the future."

"As for being the emperor, I think no one is more suitable than you."

Li Quan, the Dragon King of the South China Sea, said sternly, "You are strong enough, and the Taiping Division also respects you."

"Are you willing to give up your Li family's world to someone else?"

Su Mu said with a half-smile.

"The world has long ceased to belong to the Li family. Besides, even if Yang Xiu hadn't usurped the throne, the world belongs to everyone in the world, not just one family or one surname."

Li Quan, the Dragon King of the South China Sea, said in a carefree manner, "In this world, is there any dynasty that will last for ten thousand years?"

"Even if you don't care, I have no interest in being an emperor."

Su Mu said, "Being an emperor is so tiring. How can I be as free and easy as I am now?"

"If you don't want to be an emperor, then you can stay in the three states of Lingnan..."

Princess Lu Qian of the South China Sea Dragon King couldn't help but say.

Su Mu's actions in the three states of Lingnan were completely an act of ceding land to become king.

Building high walls and storing up grain are preparations for fighting for the world.

No matter how she looked at it, she felt that Su Mu had ambitions to rule the world.

"I am in the three states of Lingnan, and I only seek to protect myself."

Su Mu said calmly, "If Emperor Xuan hadn't pushed me too far, I would still be doing my job as the commander of the Taiping Division.

He wants me to die, but I don't want to die, so of course I have to take some measures to protect myself."

"Ok."

The South China Sea Dragon King and his wife looked at each other and said at the same time.

Since Su Mu doesn't admit it, they won't force Su Mu to admit it.

In this kind of situation, what you say is not important, what matters is the result.

When the time comes, Su Mu’s words don’t count.

"The Great Xuan Capital is just ahead. How do we get into the city?"

Li Quan, the Dragon King of the South China Sea, said, "If it were up to me, we would reveal our identities and go directly into the city. Would Emperor Xuan Yang Xiuhu still be able to attack us in front of the whole world?

The imperial court has already entered into peace talks with the three Lingnan states."

"Don't you think this is a bit too arrogant?"

Su Mu said, "Emperor Xuan is not a good-tempered person. If I were him, I would not tolerate us showing off in front of him.

Let’s keep a low profile.”

Li Quan, the Dragon King of the South China Sea, couldn't help but roll his eyes.

Low key?

Do you know how to write the word "low-key"?

When have you ever been low-key?

The Dragon King of the South China Sea complained in his heart.

"Now can you tell us why you came to Daxuanjing City?"

Lu Qian, the wife of the Dragon King of the South China Sea, asked.

"I left something in the palace."

Su Mu said lightly.

The South China Sea Dragon King Li Quan and his wife looked at each other and couldn't help but roll their eyes at the same time.

Is this what you call low-key?

It's obvious that you are going to the Great Xuan Palace to get something.

This can't be called low-key.

Do you think there is any thief in the world who is so bold as to dare to steal in the Great Xuan Palace?

"The Great Xuan Palace is filled with dangers. Even if a strong person at the Fusion Realm enters, he won't be able to leave alive."

Li Quan, the Dragon King of the South China Sea said.

He is the prince of Daxuan and has lived in the Daxuan Palace since he was a child. He knows very well how dangerous the Daxuan Palace is.

“Although I have lived in the palace for more than ten years, I am not qualified to know about many dangers.

But I know that a powerful person in the Fusion Realm entered the palace to assassinate my father, but he turned into a corpse before he even saw my father. "

Li Quan, the Dragon King of the South China Sea, continued, “I know that your strength is stronger than that of the Fusion Realm, but I am not sure how powerful the means in the palace are.”

"You're talking about assassination."

Su Mu said lightly, "We are not here to assassinate Emperor Xuan Yang Xiuhu. I just want to take something. The difficulty is different."

"Okay, then tell me, which palace did your things fall into? I'll try to find a safe way out."

Li Quan, the Dragon King of the South China Sea said.

When talking about the word "fall", Li Quan, the Dragon King of the South China Sea, emphasized the tone.

Obviously, he thought that what Su Mu said about leaving things in the palace was nonsense.

As far as he knew, Su Mu had never entered the Great Xuan Palace, so how could he have left something there?

But it's not important.

No matter whether that thing belongs to Su Mu or Emperor Xuan Yang Xiuhu, it can now be considered as Su Mu's.

He will definitely help Su Mu unconditionally.

"In Mingguang Palace."

Su Mu said slowly.

"Mingguang Palace?"

Li Quan, the Dragon King of the South China Sea, frowned.

"What? Any problem again?"

Su Mu asked casually.

"Mingguang Palace is where the Xuan Emperors of all generations practiced."

Li Quan, the Dragon King of the South China Sea, said, "It is said that this is the place with the most abundant spiritual energy in the entire imperial palace."

"You mean, Yang Xiuhu might be in there?"

Su Mu pondered.

Li Quan, the Dragon King of the South China Sea, nodded.

"It's a coincidence."

A thoughtful look appeared on Su Mu's face.

Li Guichen actually hid the inheritance of the Tushita Alchemy Technique in the palace where Emperor Xuan Yang Xiuhu practiced on a daily basis.

Is this a coincidence, or is there some ulterior motive?
Since Emperor Xuan Yang Xiuhu has lived in Minguang Palace for many years, how did Li Guichen hide the inheritance of the Tushita Alchemy Technique there?

Could it be that Wan Xue is lying?

"Minguang Palace may be the most dangerous place in the entire palace."

Li Quandao, Dragon King of the South China Sea.

"Not necessarily."

Nanhai Dragon King’s wife Lu Qian said, “With Yang Xiuhu here, Mingguang Palace is the most dangerous place.

Without Yang Xiuhu, Minguang Palace would not be so dangerous.

As long as we can lure Yang Xiuhu away, Lord Su can take the opportunity to enter Mingguang Palace."

"good idea!"

Li Quan, the Dragon King of the South China Sea, gave a thumbs up.

"Have you forgotten what I just said?"

Su Mu said unhappily, "Keep a low profile, understand?

If you go to lure away Emperor Xuan Yang Xiuhu, is that still low-key?

We should come quietly and leave quietly, and it is best not to let anyone know we are here."

Su Mu didn't want Emperor Xuan Yang Xiuhu to know about the Tushita alchemy technique.

He also planned to destroy Emperor Xuan Yang Xiuhu's Tian Ce Army. If Emperor Xuan Yang Xiuhu found out, there would probably be trouble.

Although Emperor Xuan Yang Xiuhu may not know the effect of the Tushita Alchemy Technique, what if?
The matter concerns the lives of Prince Gong Li Chuan and Wang Guan, so it is not excessive to be extremely cautious.

Besides, he was not sure how to obtain the inheritance of the Tushita Alchemy Technique. What if Emperor Xuan Yang Xiuhu was alarmed and took the inheritance of the Tushita Alchemy Technique away?
Wan Xue said it clearly that only one person could inherit the Tushita Alchemy Technique.

"Let's go into the city first. The two of you find a place to wait for me. I'll go find out what's going on."

Su Mu walked towards the city gate first.

As he walked, the muscles in his face changed slightly.

After a few steps, his appearance had completely changed, and even his body shape had some subtle changes.

The South China Sea Dragon King Li Quan and his wife who were following behind him stared at each other with confusion in their eyes.

They watched it all happen, but still couldn't believe their eyes.

There are skills in the world for disguise, and they both naturally know this.

But ordinary disguise skills are simply not enough to deceive masters of their level.

But Su Mu——

In their eyes, Su Mu seemed to have completely become a different person. They could not see any similarities between the current Su Mu and the Su Mu a few breaths ago.

They can't recognize this kind of disguise ability, so how can Emperor Xuan Yang Xiuhu recognize it?

No wonder Su Mu is so confident!
With such ability, even if he entered the city of Daxuanjing, who would be able to recognize him?

"Brother Quan, we have to cheer up. If Lord Su is not exposed, but the two of us are, it will be a huge disgrace."

Lu Qian said in a low voice.

Li Quan, the Dragon King of the South China Sea, nodded solemnly.

The two of them quickly made some disguises and then blended into the crowd and entered the Daxuanjing City.

…………Su Mu ignored the South China Sea Dragon King Li Quan and his wife.

Both of them are veterans and can take care of themselves.

He followed the road to Mingguang Palace drawn by Li Quan, the Dragon King of the South China Sea, and walked slowly forward.

Su Mu was actually not unfamiliar with the capital city of Daxuan.

When the Taiping Division's headquarters was still in the capital, he once came to the headquarters for "further studies" and also wandered around the city at that time.

Revisiting the old place, Su Mu felt a little complicated.

Compared with the chaos we saw along the way, the city of Daxuanjing didn't seem to be greatly affected.

The streets are still bustling with people, presenting a prosperous scene.

Although they are irreconcilable, Su Mu also admires Emperor Xuan Yang Xiuhu.

Not to mention that he had usurped the throne of an old man, and had been sitting comfortably on the position of Emperor Xuan for decades, and had the Six Marquises of Taiping serving him wholeheartedly for so long.

Just talk about now.

Daxuan fought against Yaoting and Zhang family at the same time, and he was not at a disadvantage at all.

He fought back and forth with the two major forces, and even had the upper hand.

In Su Mu's opinion, if the Zhang family and the Demon Court had no other trump cards, the final winner might really be Emperor Xuan Yang Xiuhu.

The Zhang family had endured hardships for thousands of years and thought they could wash away the shame and seize the world in one fell swoop.

As a result, he was suppressed by Emperor Xuan Yang Xiuhu.

Being able to achieve this, regardless of Emperor Xuan Yang Xiuhu's character, his ability is indeed remarkable.

Even if Su Mu was replaced, he would not dare to say that he could do better than Emperor Xuan Yang Xiuhu.

"If you didn't want to kill me, why not let you be the emperor? What difference does it make whether the emperor of Daxuan has the surname Li or Yang?"

Su Mu said to himself.

As he was thinking about it, he saw a city wall several meters high in front of him.

Behind the city wall is a towering palace.

This is Mingguang Palace.

When he was still more than ten feet away from Minguang Palace, patrolling soldiers blocked his way.

Those soldiers were all elite Great Xuan Imperial Guards, and the lowest among them had cultivation levels of True Yuan Realm.

Compared to Su Mu, the cultivation level in the Zhenyuan Realm is naturally not worth mentioning, but looking at the world, the Zhenyuan Realm is actually considered a master.

Su Mu walked around Minguang Palace and had a clear understanding of the defenses outside the palace.

After this round, in addition to the patrolling Great Xuan Imperial Guards, he also discovered dozens of Nascent Soul Realm powerhouses hiding in various corners of the palace.

In addition, he also sensed several powerful auras in Mingguang Palace.

The cultivation levels of those auras were at least at the fusion stage.

There are so many powerful people stationed in such a small Minguang Palace. It can be seen that in addition to the Night Owl Guards and the Six Dings and Six Jias, Emperor Xuan has many other masters under his command.

If it were just these guards, they wouldn't be able to stop Su Mu.

But for some reason, Su Mu had a vague sense of crisis.

He had a hunch that there seemed to be something in the Mingguang Palace that had the power to hurt him.

It was impossible to determine what it was for a moment, so Su Mu did not act rashly.

He turned and left, and at the corner he met the South China Sea Dragon King Li Quan and his wife who had caught up with him.

Su Mu was about to say hello to the two of them, but suddenly he stopped and passed by them.

At this moment, a figure appeared behind the South China Sea Dragon King and his wife.

"Dragon King? Is it really you? You are so brave to come here!"

Su Mu turned the corner, his ears moved slightly, and he heard a deliberately lowered voice.

The identity of Li Quan, the Dragon King of the South China Sea, has been discovered!

Su Mu stood against the wall, gathering his strength, ready to take action to support Li Quan, the Dragon King of the South China Sea.

Before he could do anything, he heard the voice continue.

"Follow me quickly, if anyone sees you, you'll be dead!"

The man dragged the South China Sea Dragon King Li Quan and his wife and left quickly.

Looking at the three people's disappearing backs, Su Mu showed a thoughtful look on his face.

He thought for a moment, then walked out and found an inn to stay in.

He waited until ten o'clock in the night before the South China Sea Dragon King Li Quan and his wife finally knocked on his window.

He opened the window and let the two people in. Su Mu glanced at them and then spoke.

"You and Chu Hanchuan still have this kind of relationship?"

Su Mu asked.

Outside the Minguang Palace during the day, the person who discovered the identity of the South China Sea Dragon King and his wife was none other than Chu Hanchuan, the leader of the Shennong Herb Sect.

Su Mu and Chu Hanchuan are also old acquaintances.

Back then, he went to the Shennong Herb Sect under a pseudonym to learn alchemy, and had many dealings with Chu Hanchuan.

He learned the Shennong Herbal Classic from Chu Hanchuan.

Later, Chu Hanchuan was severely injured by Chen Beixuan and his men, and it was Li Guichen who made the elixir and saved Chu Hanchuan.

Since then, Chu Hanchuan has been much more low-key, and Su Mu hasn't heard from him for a long time.

As far as Su Mu knew, Chu Hanchuan was also trained by Emperor Xuan Yang Xiuhu. It was somewhat beyond his expectations that he did not betray the South China Sea Dragon King Li Quan and his wife.

"When Chu Hanchuan was a child, he studied and practiced martial arts with me in the palace for a period of time."

Li Quan, the Dragon King of the South China Sea, said, “After I went to the South China Sea Sect, I also helped him find some spiritual medicines in the sea.

He also tried to help me save Qianqian."

He and Chu Hanchuan grew up together. Although Chu Hanchuan later defected to Emperor Xuan Yang Xiuhu, the friendship between him and Chu Hanchuan did not change.

"Chu Hanchuan knows the purpose of your coming to Daxuan Capital?"

Su Mu asked in a deep voice.

"I know the severity."

Li Quan, the Dragon King of the South China Sea, shook his head and said, "Of course I won't tell him about you.

I just told him that I came to seek revenge on Emperor Xuan Yang Xiuhu.

He also knew that it was Emperor Xuan Yang Xiuhu who injured Qianqian, so he did not doubt it. "

"He knew you were here for revenge, and Chu Hanchuan was the confidant of Emperor Xuan Yang Xiuhu. Didn't he want to take you down?"

Su Mu asked.

"Su Mu, you may have some misunderstandings about Chu Hanchuan."

Li Quan, the Dragon King of the South China Sea, said seriously, “Although he works for Emperor Xuan Yang Xiuhu, he is not a heartless and ungrateful person.

He just wanted to promote the Shennong Herb Sect so much that he attached himself to Emperor Xuan Yang Xiuhu."

"You don't have to explain this to me. As long as Chu Hanchuan doesn't come to provoke me, I won't do anything to him."

Su Mu shook his head and said, "Since your identities have been discovered by Chu Hanchuan, you should not stay in the city anymore.

You must be on guard against others. Although you think Chu Hanchuan won't betray you, people's hearts are always hidden—"

"Chu Hanchuan just told me a piece of news!"

Li Quan, the Dragon King of the South China Sea, interrupted Su Mu and said, “Xuan Emperor Yang Xiuhu is not in the capital!”

"Hmm? He's not in the capital?"

Su Mu had a thoughtful look on his face.

If Emperor Xuan Yang Xiuhu is not here, then who is that terrifying aura in Mingguang Palace?

Where did the sense of crisis that made him feel uneasy come from?

Is it possible that besides Emperor Xuan Yang Xiuhu, there are other peerless powerful people in Mingguang Palace?
That feeling of danger was even stronger than the one brought to him by the Six Dings and Six Jias.

“Is the news credible?”

Su Mu asked in a deep voice.

"Believable."

Li Quan, the Dragon King of the South China Sea, nodded solemnly, “Chu Hanchuan will not lie to me about such an important matter.”

"What if he didn't want you to seek revenge on Emperor Xuan Yang Xiuhu, so he said this to you on purpose?"

Su Mu asked back.

"will not."

Nanhai Dragon King’s Consort Lu Qian shook her head and said, “He even told us that Emperor Xuan Yang Xiuhu went to Wuling City.

This kind of thing can be verified once it is true or false, so there is no need for him to lie."

"Emperor Xuan Yang Xiuhu went to Wuling City?"

Su Mu's heart moved slightly, and he vaguely felt that this matter might have something to do with the Tiance Army.

Could it be that Emperor Xuan Yang Xiuhu knew that I had cracked the secret of the Imperial Mirror?
But I did not take away the Imperial Mirror from the Tiance Army.

Or did he have another purpose for going to Wuling City?
“Did Chu Hanchuan tell me why Emperor Xuan Yang Xiuhu went to Wuling City?”

Su Mu asked.

"No."

Li Quan, the Dragon King of the South China Sea, shook his head and said, "But Chu Hanchuan said that Emperor Xuan Yang Xiuhu specially had someone refine a furnace of elixirs before he went to Wuling City."

"What elixir?"

Su Mu asked.

"do not know."

Li Quan, the Dragon King of the South China Sea, said, “Since Chu Hanchuan was injured last time, he has lost the trust of Emperor Xuan Yang Xiuhu, and Emperor Xuan Yang Xiuhu has not allowed him to participate in many things.

Including this time of refining pills.

The reason why Chu Hanchuan was here was to repair the relationship with Emperor Xuan Yang Xiuhu.

He originally wanted to go to Wuling City this time, but was rejected by Emperor Xuan Yang Xiuhu. "

Su Mu was about to speak.

suddenly.

He raised his eyebrows, his eyes became slightly blurred, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

Almost at the same time, the expression of Lu Qian, the wife of the South China Sea Dragon King, changed slightly.

A few breaths slower than the other two, the expression on the face of Li Quan, the Dragon King of the South China Sea, suddenly changed.

"Su Mu, I——"

Li Quan, the Dragon King of the South China Sea, hurried to explain.

Su Mu waved his hand and said loudly.

"Master Chu, since you are here, please come in."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a knock on the door, and then the door was pushed open from the outside, and Chu Hanchuan walked in.

"really."

After entering the room, Chu Hanchuan's gaze fell on Su Mu first, his eyes full of complexity.

"I knew that Li Quan would not come to Daxuan Capital for no reason. I didn't expect it to be you."

Chu Hanchuan said slowly.

His mood was extremely complicated.

In terms of stance, he and Su Mu are indeed enemies.

But deep down in his heart, he still wanted to regard Su Mu as the rare genius of Shennong Baicao Sect that only appears once in a thousand years.

"Chu Hanchuan, you——"

Li Quan, the Dragon King of the South China Sea, was furious.

"Su Mu, they didn't tell me that you were here too. I sprinkled some medicine powder on them and found you by following the trail."

Chu Hanchuan ignored the South China Sea Dragon King Li Quan, and looked at Su Mu and said, "You don't have to rush to do it. I'm not here to expose your identity."

He said straight to the point.

"Master Chu, from the moment you stand in front of me, you have no chance to expose our identities even if you want to.

Believe it or not, I can kill you before you make a sound."

Su Mu said lightly.

"I believe."

Chu Hanchuan nodded and said, “You are that kind of genius.

I was not your opponent back then, and I will never be your opponent now.

But I said, I am not here to expose you."

"Then tell me, what is your purpose?
I don't think you and I have any old acquaintance."

Su Mu said lightly.

"I'm here to ask you for advice."

Chu Hanchuan said seriously.

As he spoke, he carefully took something out of his arms.

The expressions of the South China Sea Dragon King Li Quan and his wife suddenly became alert.

Li Quan, the Dragon King of the South China Sea, has even used his weapons.

Seeing his childhood friend so nervous, Chu Hanchuan showed a wry smile on his face.

He carefully placed what he was holding on the table.

That thing turned out to be a cloth bag.

Chu Hanchuan opened the cloth bag, revealing the black residue inside.

"Chu Hanchuan, what the hell are you doing?"

Li Quan, the Dragon King of the South China Sea said angrily.

"Li Quan, can't you be quiet for a while?"

Chu Hanchuan glared at him and said unhappily, "I've already said that I'm here to ask Su Mu for advice!"

He pointed at the dregs on the table and said, "I want to know what kind of elixir this is!"

Su Mu glanced at the medicine residue on the table and said lightly, "Is this the residue of the elixir that Emperor Xuan made before he left the capital?"

Chu Hanchuan nodded.

"Why should I tell you?"

Su Mu said.

Chu Hanchuan was silent for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "What do you want? You have already learned the Shennong Herbal Classic. I'm afraid there is nothing else in the Shennong Herbal Sect that you would be interested in."

"Do one thing for me."

Su Mu said slowly, "If you help me do one thing, I will tell you what kind of medicine this is."

"How can I help you?"

Chu Hanchuan said, "My cultivation is not as good as yours, and my attainments in alchemy are not as good as yours. I don't know if there is anything I can do that you can't do."

"Of course."

Su Mu said lightly.

"With your status, you should be able to enter and exit Mingguang Palace."

Su Mu looked at Chu Hanchuan and said, "Take me into Mingguang Palace, and I will tell you what kind of elixir this is."

"Enter the Mingguang Palace?"

Chu Hanchuan was stunned for a moment, then he shook his head repeatedly, "This is impossible.

If His Majesty knew about this, he would definitely kill the entire Shennong Herb Sect.

Besides, what are you going to do in Mingguang Palace? His Majesty is not in the capital, so it would be useless for you to go there."

"You don't have to worry about what I do. I just ask you if you can do it."

Su Mu said.

"You should change the conditions. I can't do this."

Chu Hanchuan shook his head.

"If you can't do it, then leave."

Su Mu waved his sleeves and said, "You can go find someone else to try. Maybe someone else can tell you what kind of elixir this is."

Chu Hanchuan: "..."

If other people knew, could I come to you?

I am a first-class alchemist myself. If I can't do it, how many people in the world can do it?

I can't think of anyone else except you.

"Do you really have to go to Mingguang Palace?"

Chu Hanchuan said.

"Yes."

"Can you tell me why you want to enter Mingguang Palace?"

"No."

There was a look of struggle on Chu Hanchuan's face.

He put away the cloth bag, stood up and walked out. His hand had already fallen on the door, but he couldn't open it no matter what.

He turned around abruptly and looked at Su Mu.

“Are you sure that if I take you into Mingguang Palace, you will tell me what kind of elixir this is?
Are you sure you know what it is?"

Chu Hanchuan said in a deep voice. (End of this chapter)
