When Eunuch Xiaoyi heard Emperor Yuxuan's order, he hurried over respectfully. He was wearing a dark blue eunuch uniform, a black hat, and a flattering smile on his face.

Grandpa Xiaoyi bent down and carefully put away all the things on the ground. His movements were very skillful, as if he had done this countless times.

After cleaning up, Eunuch Xiaoyi quietly retreated without making any sound during the whole process.

Emperor Yuxuan's eyes immediately fell on the booklet. He slowly picked it up and gently opened it. On it were written "The Fourth Secret of Immortality" in large, vigorous and powerful characters.

The booklet was made of the finest rice paper, with a soft texture and pure white color. Emperor Yuxuan's fingers gently slid across the words on the booklet, feeling the slightly raised texture.

His eyes were full of anticipation and desire, as if the booklet contained endless secrets.

Emperor Yuxuan was reciting the formula in the book quietly while carefully gesturing with his hands and feet. His movements were very smooth, like flowing clouds and water.

Emperor Yuxuan's posture was upright, and every movement was full of power. His eyes were focused and firm, as if he was performing a sacred ritual.

Emperor Yuxuan performed several movements in succession and felt that the fourth secret of immortality seemed to be relatively simple and easy to learn. For a moment, an irrepressible excitement surged in his heart.

Just then, Xiao Sizha finished eating the roast chicken outside happily, and walked in slowly, burping with satisfaction.

Xiao Sizhe was wearing a white robe with a black belt around her waist. Her long hair was casually tied behind her head, making her look very casual and comfortable.

His face was filled with a satisfied smile, and his eyes revealed a hint of cunning. Xiao Sizhe walked into the palace, and when he looked up, he saw Emperor Yuxuan practicing vigorously, and his posture seemed to have a thousand pounds of strength.

Xiao Sizhe thought to himself, "Very good. The faster I practice, the faster my blood will surge! The yin and yang in my body will fight against each other more fiercely. The cold evil spirit and the hot air will repel each other!"

Emperor Yuxuan was practicing very hard, and at the beginning he only felt a burning sensation rising up like a tide, causing his forehead to sweat slightly.

The heat was like a blazing flame, spreading wantonly in his body. Emperor Yuxuan's face flushed slightly, and his breathing became a little rapid.

But just as the heat had not yet subsided, a refreshing cool air suddenly washed down from the top of the head like a waterfall.

The cool air was like a clear stream, instantly extinguishing the heat in the body. Emperor Yuxuan was puzzled, stopped his movements, frowned and asked: "How can this fourth trick have a cold tide and a hot surge appear at the same time?" His expression was full of puzzlement and confusion.

Emperor Yuxuan was dressed in a gorgeous dragon robe embroidered with lifelike golden dragons and auspicious cloud patterns, which sparkled brightly under the sunlight.

He stood in the center of the hall, his posture as straight as a pine tree, his brows slightly furrowed, his expression full of doubt. His deep eyes revealed his thoughts and doubts about the secret of longevity.

Emperor Yuxuan tried to calm the strange alternation of hot and cold in his body, and looked at Xiao Sizhe again. He raised his chin slightly, and his voice echoed in the empty palace with a hint of uneasiness and anxiety.

"Did you copy this trick incorrectly? It doesn't feel right when you practice it!" His words were like a stone thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples.

Xiao Sizhe stood not far away, with a barely perceptible smile on his face. He was wearing a white robe with a blue ribbon tied around his waist and his long hair tied casually behind his head, looking unrestrained and uninhibited.

Around him were all kinds of exquisite porcelain and antiques. The porcelain was delicate in texture and painted with exquisite patterns, such as blooming flowers and flying butterflies, colorful and gleaming with a warm luster under the sunlight.

The antiques come in various shapes. Some are ancient bronzes engraved with mysterious runes; some are exquisite jades emitting a soft glow.

Xiao Sizhe swayed his body leisurely and said slowly: "That's right! The third trick just now was slow with speed, and now this trick is to start slow with speed and then fast and then faster! How far have you practiced?" His tone was relaxed, as if he was talking about a trivial matter.

Emperor Yuxuan pondered for a moment and waved his palm. His palm was broad and powerful, with slender fingers, and on it was a huge jade ring that exuded a mysterious light.

He said, "Halfway!" His eyes were still full of persistence and expectation for the Changsheng Jue. He didn't notice anything strange about Xiao Sizhe at all, and was played around by Xiao Sizhe without realizing it.

His eyes fell on the book of immortality again. The ancient paper was slightly yellowed, and the handwriting on it was vigorous and powerful, as if telling a mysterious story.

The font is as smooth as flowing water, and every stroke contains endless mysteries.

At this time, Xiao Sizhe was suppressing his anger and hatred. Tragic scenes emerged in his mind, and the scenes of the country's destruction and the family's ruin were vivid.

The once prosperous capital city has now become a ruin, with the people displaced and crying. He secretly clenched his fists, his nails digging deep into his palms, but he didn't feel any pain.

His eyes became firm and resolute, like a sharp sword about to be unsheathed, ready to strike a fatal blow to the enemy at any time. Outside the palace, dark clouds gradually gathered in the sky, rolling and surging like ink.

The wind howled, rustling the trees and causing leaves to fall. A storm was coming, as if foreshadowing a major disaster that was about to happen.

"Okay, the fourth trick, start from the beginning and practice it for me! I'll see what's wrong!"

Xiao Si covered his face without changing his expression, his white robe fluttering gently in the breeze. He raised his chin slightly, his eyes seemed calm, but his heart was like a raging sea, secretly calculating: Humph, it won't take half the time. Under the promotion of Concubine Wan's two-color meal, half an incense stick of time is enough for your whole body to explode and die! Emperor Yuxuan, you have caused my country to be broken, and today is the day you die.

I have waited for this moment for too long. Watching you walk towards death step by step under my guidance, the hatred in my heart seems to have found an outlet.

Thinking of this, a barely perceptible ruthlessness flashed in Xiao Sizhe's eyes. That ruthlessness was like a dark light that disappeared in an instant.

Emperor Yuxuan hesitated slightly, although he had some doubts in his heart, but his persistence in the Art of Immortality made him obey Xiao Sizhe's words. He slowly raised his hands and began to dance again. Although his movements were a little awkward, they carried a different kind of momentum.

The gorgeous dragon robe he was wearing swayed slightly with his movements, and the golden dragons and auspicious clouds embroidered on it seemed to be dancing as well. Emperor Yuxuan gestured slowly, with a questioning look in his eyes: "Is that so?"
