East Palace
Small training ground

Li Chengqian stretched his body. After completing a set of coffin splitting moves, he was sweating all over and felt refreshed.

He looked at Guo Baokun and Qin Yuan not far away, and was about to give them some advice when he saw his personal eunuch Qi Wu walking in from the courtyard gate with a dull-looking young man.

Arriving next to Li Chengqian, Qi Wu saluted, but his expression was a little strange, "Your Highness, this man is from the Third Department of the Supervisory Council. It is said that Dean Chen sent him to Your Highness."

"From what I hear, you seem to be holding a grudge!" Li Chengqian's eyes flickered as he looked at the dull man and asked, "What's your name?"

"Return to the fields."

"Your surname is Gui, which is a rare surname. Why don't you want to come to the East Palace?"

"Yes, oh, no, it's not..."

This Guizitian man looked very dull, but he was not a fool, nor was he a nitpicker. He was just not good at speaking, and when he spoke, his words were not clear enough. After talking for a long time, his face turned red and purple, and he still couldn't express what he wanted to say clearly.

"Alright, alright, let's do this. Whether you like it or not, from now on, you belong to the Eastern Palace. You came from the Third Division, so you should be quite knowledgeable about poisons, hidden weapons, and the like, right?" He paused and continued, "I believe that Dean Chen wouldn't just send someone to bluff me."

"I understand, I understand everything, but..."

"But what?"

"This is the East Palace, not the Third Palace. The materials that the Third Palace has are not available here, and the people that the Third Palace has are not available here."

Gui Zitian looked up and said, "Besides, I don't know what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants me to do."

"What I want you to do is very simple. Help me make poisons and concealed weapons. I'll provide any materials you need. As for the people..."

Li Chengqian touched his chin. "My place isn't like the Third Division. We don't have many talented people here, but we can cultivate them. However, that's something for the future." He looked up at Gui Zitian and said, "I need poisons and hidden weapons now. I wonder how close you can get to the level of the Third Division?"

"Teacher said that I am the most talented of the three. As long as you give me the necessary materials, I will satisfy the prince."

"That's good. From now on, you will be my tutor. You know what a tutor is, right?"

"I know, I know." Gui Zitian nodded. He was a dull person, but it was just a personality problem, not an intelligence problem. He knew very well what the current situation was.

"Well, that's good to know. When you have free time, you can tell me about the matter of preparing medicine and making instruments. I think my talent in this area is not inferior to yours."

"Oh, ah~"

Gui Zitian didn't pay attention to Li Chengqian's words at first. By the time he realized what Li Chengqian was saying, Li Chengqian had already turned and left.

"Qi Wu, help him arrange accommodation and meet all his needs."

"Yes, Your Highness."

"Guo Baokun, what are you doing? You're being lazy again." He turned around and went back to the small training ground. Looking at Guo Baokun who was sitting on the ground like a thief, he shouted at him loudly.

Under his scolding, Guo Baokun, who felt his body was about to fall apart, had no choice but to get up again, and with his thighs trembling, he took a horse stance.

Li Chengqian nodded in satisfaction and turned to leave.

Guo Baokun is just a superfluous guy. He is neither good at literature nor martial arts. The reason why we keep him around is because he is a fool. Fools have their advantages. At least you don't have to worry about him stabbing you in the back, and you don't have to worry about him too much. Moreover, he has a capable father.

As for Qin Yuan, he looks simple-minded, but he comes from a family of generals and has a profound family background. He has a strong foundation and martial arts aptitude. Li Chengqian has only one purpose in keeping him by his side, which is to use him as a benchmark to demonstrate his own martial arts strength.

With the talisman of "God rewards hard work", he has no bottleneck in martial arts, but his aptitude is only above average. Qin Yuan, the son of a general who is about the same age as him, has superior aptitude, and has family inheritance and resources, is the perfect person to use as a progress chart for his martial arts studies.

He doesn't need to be too dazzling, he just needs to be a little faster than Qin Yuan in cultivation. In this way, he can explain everything.

As for the power of the Qin family and the power in the military, he never thought about whether he wanted to use Qin Yuan's relationship to expand his influence in the military.

He is not that naive, and the Qin family is not that stupid.

East Palace Bedroom
The East Palace is large, but the bedroom is small.
Judging from the visual angle, it is only about 70 or 80 square meters.

Compared to when I first arrived, the East Palace bedroom has changed a little.

There was a small door on the ground next to his bed.

Yes, there is a small door on the ground.

After opening the small door, there was a staircase leading down. Li Chengqian walked down the stairs, took out a few steps, took out a tinder, lit the torch on the wall, and pulled the handle on the wall. The small door then closed again with a creaking sound.

As the first torch on the wall was lit, it seemed to trigger some mechanism, and torches were lit one after another along the stairs until the entire basement was as bright as day.

The stairs are not deep, only about seven or eight meters, and underneath is an empty basement with an area of ​​about one hundred meters.

The ground was paved with whole blocks of bluestone, polished to an extremely smooth surface. If you looked closely, you could see that although the bluestone was smooth, it wasn't slippery. It was almost the same bluestone as the one paved on the small parade ground in the East Palace.

Martial arts are prevalent in this world, and many wealthy homes, martial arts schools, and other places have similar things laid out in their training grounds.

Yes, this is Li Chengqian’s exclusive martial arts training ground, which was dug for him by Li Chengqian with the help of people from the Ministry of Works.

The Ministry of Works went to the Crown Prince's Eastern Palace to dig a basement, which would arouse many associations even if it was ordered by the Crown Prince.

But Li Chengqian didn't care.

Because this is not a secret room, but a training ground that belongs only to him.

The reason why the secret room is called a secret room is that it is not known to others. He does not need a secret room, he just needs a more secret training ground.

The Bull Demon's Powerful Fist and the Tiger Demon's Bone-Forging Fist are not martial arts from this world and are very different from the martial arts of this world.

Therefore, he could not practice openly in the small training ground of the East Palace, but could only practice in a closed basement like this.

As for causing other people's associations and speculations, he doesn't care at all.

The venue was built by the Ministry of Industry, and even the blueprints were designed and provided by the Ministry of Industry. How could there be any secret at all? At least in the eyes of Emperor Qing and several senior officials in the court, it is not a secret. That's enough.

Having read the original novel and watched the TV series, he knew very well that with his status, if he wanted to live well in this world, he had to distinguish between the big and small kings.

In the entire Daqing, he only needs to consider the thoughts of one person, and that is Emperor Qing.

As long as Emperor Qing doesn't suspect anything and doesn't think there is a problem, everyone else is bullshit.

What Empress Dowager, what Princess, what Chen Pingping, what important officials in the court, what high-ranking officials...

It's all garbage, I don't care what you say.

As the crown prince, I like to imitate the mice and dig holes in the East Palace. What do you think? Don't you agree?
Emperor Qing hasn't said anything yet, is it your turn to interrupt?

"call……"

Arriving at the center of the basement, Li Chengqian did some warm-up exercises and then began to practice the Bull Demon Fist.

The Bull Demon's Great Strength Fist is also known as the Bull Demon's Great Strength Method. It has three moves in total, namely the Bull Demon's Horn Headbutt, the Bull's Tribulation Hoofsteps and the Bull Demon's Skin Movement. It is a first-class strength training method in the Yangshen world.

Li Chengqian, who was using the Bull Demon Fist, had become a completely different person. His movements were neither fast nor slow, and each move seemed very solemn.

As his fists circulated, his blood surged, and his skin slowly undulated as if alive. The immense blood energy turned his skin red, and a faint, almost vaporous layer rose from his body.

After finishing a set of boxing, his whole body was covered with sweat, soaking his training clothes. Feeling comfortable all over, Li Chengqian showed a satisfied smile, walked to the only table in the secret room, grabbed the medicinal tea on it, and drank it in one gulp.

The mellow tea, containing a strong herbal fragrance, went straight down the throat into the stomach. Suddenly, a warm current rose in the stomach and flowed throughout the body.

“Hiss, so cool!!”

This is the benefit brought by having good reincarnation skills, and you don’t have to worry about cultivation resources at all.

If he was reincarnated into an ordinary family, even if he was chosen by the Roulette Wheel of Heavens, it would be impossible for him to have such conditions for cultivation.

The pot of medicinal tea he just drank was worth a fortune. In a normal family, it would take a lifetime to get a pot of it, but for him, it was a consumable.

In addition, there is the medicinal bath after practicing the Tiger Demon Bone Tempering Fist, which is a huge expense.

The resources have been spent and the effect is great.

After coming to this world for more than four years, he already had a clear understanding of the strength of the warriors in this world and the related knowledge.

On the surface, the grade of his true Qi has just entered the fourth grade, but with the support of the Tiger Demon Bone Tempering Fist and the Bull Demon Power Fist, he will be able to compete with the strength of a sixth-grade warrior in a month at most.

Coupled with the blessing of the Heaven Rewards Hard Work Talisman, his attainments in Liuyun Sanshou have also reached an extremely high level. His understanding of this martial art is no weaker than Gong Dian's, so his overall strength should be at the fifth level now. The only thing he lacks is actual combat experience.

Raising his fleshy little fist, he couldn't help but sigh, "Alas, it's all because of my poor status that it's really hard to get any practical experience. I really want to find a chance to beat someone up. I'm really sorry for you, my little fist!!"

Possessing a sharp weapon, with murderous intent, and possessing the fifth-grade strength, but without the opportunity to show off, is indeed a great regret in life.

"Ding, Selectee No. 05446 has initiated a compulsory conscription order at the cost of his life. It has been detected that Selectee No. 15695 meets the compulsory conscription conditions. The compulsory conscription order has begun."

The next moment, a pitch-black circular passage appeared in front of him, and an unparalleled suction force appeared, sucking him into the black hole.

"Fuck you, I haven't even showered yet!!!"

The miserable wails once again filled the entire passage.
