Therefore, even cultivators from major sects may have the appearance of an old person.

Fortunately, Chen Sanshi is known for his ability to excel in everything he does, so there's no need to worry about this issue.

These two youth-preserving pills were naturally prepared for the Empress and the Imperial Noble Consort.

Neither of them could cultivate.

All Chen Sanshi could do was keep them young forever.

It's time to go back.

This trip will last about three months.

He was, after all, the ruler of a country, with too many political affairs to attend to, and dared not leave for too long, otherwise he would have failed everyone.

This is also a problem that needs to be addressed in the future.

Putting aside his thoughts, Chen Sanshi hung a sign at the entrance of his cave, refusing to see any guests. Then, under the cover of night, he left the cave and arrived at the border of Tianshui Continent. He used the jade tablet to summon the hidden teleportation array, leaving this world and heading north back to the Great Han Dynasty.

Qinghua Palace.

The Han Dynasty had three palaces: Daming Palace, Tianyong City, and Qinghua Palace.

Daming Palace was mainly used for handling state affairs, Tianyong City was used as a training ground and was being transformed into a sect, while Qinghua Palace was the capital's harem and the emperor's bedroom.

In the harem

Chen San stopped increasing the number of eunuchs and instead selected some young people who had not yet entered the palace to serve the previous dynasty for training.

More often than not, the government increased the number of female officials to manage the harem. Women could also practice martial arts and cultivate themselves, so there was no need to worry about safety issues.

It is true that the world is at peace now.

But Chen Sanshi is very busy and rarely has time to spend with his family.

Upon his return, he spent three consecutive days handling government affairs, and it wasn't until the fourth day that he had time to return to the inner palace and gather his family together for a meal.

"I see you, Your Majesty!"

The Empress and the Imperial Noble Consort stood on either side, bowing respectfully.

"Sister Lan, Senior Sister, why are you being so polite?"

Chen Sanshi laughed and said, "Putting on a show outside is to maintain the dignity of the court. How tiring is it to do this at home? Hurry up and sit down, I have something to give you."

The empress and her companion looked at the golden pills emanating from the box, both of them somewhat puzzled.

"This is a youth-preserving pill."

Chen Sanshi explained the purpose.

"Brother Shi, this must be very expensive."

The Empress was initially delighted, but then felt a pang of concern: "Won't this affect your cultivation?"

"Yes, junior brother."

Sun Li teased, "Why are you already complaining that Senior Sister is too old? You can take these pills and sell them first. Tianyong City is waiting to use spirit stones."

Chen Sanshi did indeed acquire a considerable amount of spirit stones, but since they had no income, they would inevitably be needed for the future development of Tianyong City.

"Both ladies are very virtuous."

He joked, "This is an imperial edict, so just accept it. I could earn silver by hunting back then, and I have plenty of ways to earn spirit stones now."

The empress and her companion then accepted the gifts.

Just then, two princesses dressed in flowing robes entered the room.

The former is Chen Yunxi, who is now thirteen or fourteen years old, in the prime of her youth, sweet and lovely, and very well-behaved.

Beside her is Xu Bin's daughter, Xu Yuhuan, who is also nine years old. She was adopted by Chen Sanshi as his goddaughter when they were in Poyang. Later, when the court stabilized, she was given the title of "Princess Wuyuan".

It's worth mentioning that Princess Wuyuan possesses spiritual roots, which will allow her to cultivate in the future, much to Xu Bin's delight.

"My son has met my father."

The two princesses gracefully bowed.

"Yunxi, Yunhuan, come and sit next to your father."

Chen Sanshi smiled and waved: "Xixi is about to start cultivating. Does she want to learn any techniques?"

Within Tianyong City, martial arts techniques are limited, but a considerable number of immortal cultivation techniques for the Qi Refining stage have been seized.

"not yet."

Chen Yunxi gently shook her head: "Father wants Yunxi to think about it some more."

"Okay, no rush."

Chen Sanshi looked around the dining table: "Where's He'er? Where has he run off to this time?"

"Your Highness, he..."

Before Siqin Mohua could answer, a noisy commotion arose outside.

"father--"

Seven-year-old Chen Duhe stepped over the threshold and strode into the room, his first words being, "When are you going to make me the crown prince?!"

He is now Prince Yu, not the Crown Prince.

This boy is still unruly, but for some reason he still listens to Xu Wencai, and hasn't caused any major trouble in the past few years.

"We'll talk about it after you come of age."

Chen Sanshi asked, "How have you been studying lately?"

"No one can compare to me!"

Chen Duhe made a gesture as if he was about to recite the text.

Chen Sanshi told him to stop, and then asked Si Qinmo to serve the food.

After taking only two bites, Chen Duhe threw down his chopsticks and yelled at Siqin, "Where is my phoenix wings and chicken?!"

"Your Highness, calm down."

Siqin quickly explained, "We really can't find this kind of strange beast in the mountains around the capital. We need to transport it from the Luotian Mountains in Beiliang to this area."

"I do not!"

Chen Duhe said matter-of-factly, "Without the phoenix-winged chicken, I will not eat a single bite."

“Brother…”

Chen Yunxi gently tugged at his sleeve under the table, signaling him not to fool around, but the latter didn't take it seriously.

This Phoenix Wing Chicken is a kind of exotic beast. Its delicious taste goes without saying. Most importantly, even non-martial artists can eat it and it can strengthen their bodies.

Chen Duhe heard from somewhere that it would be beneficial for his future martial arts training, so he demanded it every day, and would make a fuss if he didn't get it.

In the past two years, he has rarely bullied others anymore. Instead, he has become increasingly pampered and will throw a tantrum if his food, drink, or clothing are slightly inferior.

Even if the Empress were to reprimand someone, it would only last for two days.

"He'er, kneel down!"

Gu Xinlan gently put down her chopsticks and solemnly began to reprimand someone, about to order someone to bring a rattan cane.

"No need, Sister Lan."

Chen Sanshi wasn't angry. He simply said, "He'er, do you still want to learn martial arts?"

"Yes I do!"

Chen Duhe replied, "Father, are you going to teach me now?"

“You are still too young to formally begin learning martial arts, but you can build a foundation.”

Chen Sanshi looked at the puzzled expression on the other person's face and said, "Come with me."

He let the Empress and the others continue their meal, while he grabbed the man by the back of the neck and flew away into the sky. They soon left the capital and arrived near a mountain village outside the county town surrounding Chang'an.

It is now mid-October of the fourth year of Tianwu, just in time for autumn planting.

From the sky, you can see farmers working in the fields.

"He'er, do you know why your father is a Martial Saint?"

Chen Sanshi patiently explained, "Because your father came from the countryside, he was able to experience all aspects of life from a young age, which tempered his mind. When he truly began to learn martial arts, he naturally progressed rapidly, rising step by step until he reached the peak."

"How can you comprehend martial arts by staying with these commoners?!"

Chen Duhe was somewhat disdainful.

"Yes."

Chen Sanshi said, "If you do as your father says and stay in this village from today onwards, find a family to live with, eat, sleep and do more farm work to temper your character, then after you come of age, you will become the best in the world in just a few years."

"If you don't want to, that's fine. Your father and mother will have another baby for you, and your brother can inherit the family business."
