Living forever in the deep palace

Time flies, the years pass by like a shuttle.

On the seventh day of the third month in the twenty-fourth year of Tianwu, spring was in full bloom. In the library, hundreds of flowers were in full bloom, and a strange fragrance filled the courtyard. Su Chen stood quietly in a black robe, holding a scroll.

"This is my first spring since I traveled through time."

Su Chen was a little dazed.

In the twenty-third year of Tianwu, the old emperor was assassinated. At the end of July, he traveled through time and experienced the palace turmoil.

now.

It's been almost a year.

The seed of immortality in his body was still in the embryonic form of a root, swaying slightly without wind, without any change. Su Chen was stuck in the perfection of the fifth level of internal energy.

Obviously, the time is still not enough and the seed of immortality cannot continue to grow.

Fortunately, the thing he has the most is time.

"Is Master Su here?"

Outside the library, a young eunuch in a green robe was looking at Su Chen in awe.

When Zhang Gui achieves enlightenment, his family and friends will all prosper.

Although Xu Xiaohan was cautious and waited on Su Chen, he could not be said to be able to call the shots in the harem, but he was still a well-known figure.

He is also quite talented. He took a lot of secret medicine given by Zhang Gui and was forcibly promoted to the fourth level last month, truly securing his position as the Blue Robe Manager.

The little eunuch outside the yard is Xu Xiaohan’s godson.

"The access token to the Wu Pavilion has been retrieved."

"Master Su, when are you free?"

The young eunuch in green robe asked.

In the harem, clothes represent status, but Su Chen is the only one who is so respectful to a eunuch in black robe.

Wuge is the real important place in the palace.

The library contains common classics.

The Wu Pavilion is where the cultivation methods and even the mysterious and secret arts are located. It is of utmost importance and has always been guarded personally by the Grand Chamberlain, the second Grand Chamberlain in red robes.

Even though Zhang Gui was a third-rank cultivator and held the power of the Martial Arts Bureau, he still had to give up a lot of interests and spent a long time in order to get the Martial Pavilion pass to Su Chenmou.

"I am the only idler in this palace. Let's go now."

There are countless palaces, towering attics, and rockery and stone forests, which are breathtakingly beautiful.

Keep going.

When passing by a palace, Su Chen stopped for a moment. It was extremely quiet here, but there was also the sound of a shrew yelling and cursing.

Qingfeng Palace

The cold palace of concubines.

"My son will be the emperor soon, and when he does, I will kill you all."

"killed!"

"Kill you all."

A woman dressed in coarse cloth, not even as pretty as a palace maid, with disheveled hair and a mad look on her face, was pinned to the ground by several eunuchs in green robes and was continuously beaten with a thick sweat towel soaked in salt water.

This beautiful woman was about thirty years old. Even with her disheveled hair and a crazy look, she was still incredibly beautiful. Su Chen naturally knew her.

"Once the most beautiful concubine in the harem, Concubine Liang, who was once known as the most beautiful concubine in the harem, has ended up in such a miserable situation."

When she was at the peak of her power, a single word from Concubine Liang could shake the government and the country.

pity.

With the death of the old emperor and the fifth prince, and the purge of the court by the First Purple Robe Supervisor, Concubine Liang has long since turned into a crazy woman who is bullied by everyone in the harem.

Su Chen left.

The world is full of vicissitudes. We see tall buildings rising into the sky and time passing like a song. In the blink of an eye, the buildings collapse and the ground sinks, leaving only ruins.

The Martial Pavilion is majestic, with nine floors as high as it is. Each floor is ten feet high, like Su Chen's library. It is nearly a hundred feet high, more than three hundred meters high. This Martial Pavilion is like a sharp sword piercing the sky, containing Daliang's three hundred years of cultivation experience.

"Are you Zhang Gui's sworn brother?"

The eunuch, deputy chief of the Wu Pavilion, who was nearly fifty years old and had half black and half white hair, looked at Su Chen with interest. After a while, he shook his head and sighed.

"Without blood and spirit, it seems you are truly a mortal. I really don't know why Zhang Gui spent so much to obtain this token for you..."

"You're seventeen, and you still haven't entered the realm of spiritual practice. This is how your life will end."

"You can read all the classics on the first three floors. Above the third floor, the cultivation classics are related to the third, second, and first rank masters, and even the legendary masters. You are not allowed to set foot on them..."

Done.

The deputy general manager of the Wu Pavilion waved his hand and let him go.

Su Chen entered the Wu Pavilion alone.

"strangeness."

"My whole body is surging with energy and blood, seven times that of a martial arts prodigy at the fifth level of perfection. It's fine if they can't see my immortality energy, but why can't they even see my fifth level of flesh and blood perfection?"

Su Chen did not deliberately hide it.

This is not the first time.

If he didn't take action, others would think he was an ordinary mortal with no cultivation, as if there was a layer of hiding method on his body that concealed everything he had.

"But this is fine."

Stepping into the Martial Pavilion, you will see countless classics, suspended in stone boxes in mid-air, shining like stars in the night sky.

"What method do you seek?"

The eunuch in charge of the Wu Pavilion, dressed in a red robe and with gray hair like rotten wood, sat cross-legged in the center, his eyes always closed, as if unable to open.

Su Chen didn't dare to underestimate this person.

The first general manager of the red robe in the palace.

The peak second grade, or even the first grade in the past.

In the eunuch system, the first person under the Purple Robe First Eunuch, even the Purple Robe First Eunuch who is like the emperor, has to give this old eunuch some face.

But Su Chen knew very well.

This old eunuch is dying.

Different from the purple-robed First Supervisor who pretended to be dying that night, the red-robed First Supervisor had not much time left in his body. In his eyes, this person's life force was like a candle in the wind, which could be extinguished at any time.

“Don’t seek the Dharma, just look around.”

"I've finished reading the classics in the library, so I'm going to take a look at the cultivation classics in the Martial Pavilion."

Say it.

Su Chen started flipping through the classics.

The red-robed chief steward did not speak again, as if he was asleep.

In the following half month, Su Chen had nothing to do, so he put the Wu Pavilion pass token on his waist and came to the Wu Pavilion to browse the classics. Su Chen was not very interested in those cultivation methods and killing skills.

After all, no matter how powerful the cultivation methods of the first three levels are, they can never compare to the top-level cultivation methods, or even the Grandmaster's "Six-foot Golden Body Art"...

No matter how powerful the killing skills are, how can they resist the absolute power of a punch from a martial arts prodigy that has ten times the perfect energy and blood?

"interesting."

"Is there such a monster in this world?"

"Binding a grass ring, the demon repays the favor. Interesting and interesting."

In the martial arts pavilion, Su Chen couldn't help laughing when he saw the wonderful thing.

In this world, at least within the territory of Daliang, there are many demons. Demons are lurking between cities. Only practitioners can pass through. Mortals will die if they encounter them.

No matter it is the path of Qi or the path of body, without secret methods and precious medicines, even if one is as strong as the top grade and has the title of junior grandmaster, one will still only have a lifespan of a hundred years, or even less than a hundred years.

Those demons have even shorter lifespans. In order to survive longer, the demons can only eat more people, eat cultivators, and swallow the human spiritual energy that only humans possess, so that they can slowly increase their limited lifespans.

Those demons that have lived for more than a hundred years are, without exception, powerful demons of the second or even first rank, and have eaten at least tens of thousands of people.

"You came to this martial arts pavilion just to read some idle books?"

"Do you know how valuable this Wu Pavilion pass token is?"

The deputy general manager of the Wu Pavilion looked at Su Chen in disbelief, his face twitching.

and.

What surprised him even more was...

Even people with low talent for cultivation should be able to gain some insights after reading so many cultivation texts. They can absorb the Qi of heaven and earth, or create their own Qi and embark on the path of Qi, or cause their own blood to boil and embark on the path of body.

But Su Chen, after half a month, showed no reaction at all, as if...

"It's like he has no talent for cultivation at all. What a waste of a token."

Su Chen said this with a smile and returned the Wu Pavilion's token.

I have almost finished looking at the first three floors.

The token has expired and is no longer needed.

"He's just a piece of trash. He's just lucky enough to be Zhang Zongguan's sworn brother. It's also because Zhang Zongguan values ​​friendship. If it were me, I would have taught this kind of trash a lesson and kept him away from me long ago."

The deputy general manager of the Wu Pavilion spoke in a contemptuous manner.

however.

"Old Chu..." He looked up and immediately became submissive. He trotted over to serve the red-robed chief steward.

This white-haired, red-robed First Steward, who looked like a rotten tree and was about to wither away, stared at Su Chen with his eyes at this moment and uttered some shocking words.

"Qi like a dragon, blood like a tiger, body like a furnace, dragon and tiger blood flames..."

"Isn't this the legendary fifth-grade flesh and blood realm?"

"wrong."

"Am I wrong?"

The red-robed chief steward rubbed his eyes, only to find that the blood-flaming dragon and tiger shadows that soared into the sky that he had just seen were just an illusion in his half-sleep dream.

The little eunuch in black before him had a plain aura and was nothing special. He was just one of the countless ordinary mortals in Daliang.

"He's just a mortal."

"Mr. Chu."

"You must have seen it wrong."

"He's just an ordinary eunuch who got lucky and Zhang Gui still remembers their old friendship."

"If it weren't for Zhang Gui, I wouldn't even give a second glance at a little eunuch like him."

The deputy general manager spoke slowly.

On this day, Su Chen read all the classics on the third level of Daliang Wu Pavilion, and gained some insights. He finally crossed that threshold and reached the fifth level of perfection. His energy and blood surged like a dragon or a tiger, and his blood boiled all over his body, burning like flames.

Fifth-grade perfection, ten times the energy and blood of a martial arts prodigy!

Like the Grandmaster, the Blood Flame Realm only exists in ancient legends!
