"But it doesn't matter."

Chen Sanshi gestured for the other party to speak directly.

"The Nine Nether Forbidden Grounds of Autumn Frost Valley have been opened."

Zhang Shun paused for a moment, then added, "However, there is a powerful spiritual energy disorder at the entrance to the secret realm. Anyone who gets close will be instantly pulverized. For the time being, no one dares to go in. The rogue cultivators and people from various families are still observing. It is said that this situation has never happened before."

"Disordered spiritual energy?"

Chen Sanshi nodded and said, "I understand. You keep an eye on things. I'll return to Tianshui as soon as I've finished dealing with the affairs of the court."

"My minister obeys."

Zhang Shun came in a hurry and left in a hurry.

"Is Father leaving again?"

Chen Yunxi asked.

"We'll stay a few more days."

Chen Sanshi did not deny it: "Let's go to the family dinner."

Today's family banquet is attended not only by the Empress, the Imperial Concubine, and their children, but also by several senior brothers who are still in Dongsheng Shenzhou.

We've spent most of the last ten years apart, so this was a rare occasion for us to have a meal together.

Looking around, the senior brothers all looked much older, but they had enough talent in martial arts; they just lacked resources.

We must find a way to obtain more of the rare and precious materials from the God of the East.

After several rounds of drinks, the brothers mentioned their greatest wish in life: to avenge Qingyun of the fourth branch and wipe out the entire Guiyuan family.

"Golden Elixir".

Chen Sanshi estimated in his mind that Huang Laojiu was not only a Golden Core cultivator, but also a late-stage Golden Core cultivator, not far from the Nascent Soul stage.

At the current rate, how many years, fifty years, or a hundred years would it take him to reach such a level of cultivation?

There's a saying in the mortal world: "A gentleman takes revenge even after ten years." In the world of cultivation, it could be said that "a hundred years is not too late."

In any case, I will definitely avenge this grudge.

With the last pot of wine finished, the family dinner came to an end.

Chen Sanshi remained in Yonghe Palace to sleep, and announced that he was about to leave again.

"Junior brother, please... help me take my pulse."

Sun Li extended her fair wrist.

"Taking your pulse?"

Chen Sanshi quickly realized: "You?"

"Ah."

Sun Li nodded naturally: "There have been some reactions in the last two days."

Chen Sanshi has been back for two months now, and if he's lucky, he should be almost done with his business.

His ordinary medical skills were also first-rate. He immediately took the pulse and felt the pulse of the Imperial Noble Consort: "It is indeed a pregnancy pulse. Good, it seems that I can shut those ministers up."

"Nian Xia!

"While I am away, you must take good care of the Imperial Concubine. If there is any mistake, I will hold everyone in Yonghe Palace accountable."

The Han Dynasty established a system of female officials in the imperial harem, including six bureaus such as the Bureau of Ceremonies and the Bureau of Palace Attendants, plus the Palace Administration Office, collectively known as the Six Bureaus and One Office. A considerable number of these women were women with spiritual roots, while others were exceptionally talented martial artists.

The Palace Attendant was responsible for the security of the inner palace and could be understood as a female version of the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

Nianxia is the deputy director of the Palace Administration Department. After ten years of cultivation, she is about to break through to the mid-stage of Qi Refining.

"The slaves obey."

Nianxia bowed and said, "Congratulations, Your Majesty! May Heaven bless the Han Dynasty and bring prosperity to the nation."

"Senior sister, something has come up in Tianshui and I really can't stay any longer. Please forgive me. If there's anything urgent, you can contact me through Gong Zhengsi's people."

After exchanging a few more pleasantries, Chen Sanshi left the inner palace and went to the Wujiang Palace in Tianyong City to activate the puppet emperor once again.

The wooden puppet, dressed in a black and gold robe, was bent over a desk, ready to process memorials at any moment.

With everything arranged, he was about to depart for Tianshui when he saw Siqin enter the hall: "Your Majesty, Miss Ningxiang and Miss Zhaozhao request an audience."

"they?"

Chen Sanshi thought for a moment and said, "Let them in."

Ningxiang and Zhaozhao, whom I hadn't seen for a long time, entered the hall one after the other. Because they were cultivators, the marks of time were not obvious on their faces.

Ningxiang still has a slender waist and graceful figure, like a lazy swallow or a languid oriole, her graceful steps exuding fragrance.

Zhao Zhao had hardly ever been to the Wujiang Palace before, and she blinked her eyes, looking around constantly.

"This servant greets Your Majesty."

Ningxiang bowed respectfully, while Zhaozhao was a beat slower.

"Both of you."

Chen Sanshi cut to the chase and asked, "Is there something you need?"

"Has His Majesty not summoned me for three or five years?"

Ningxiang said with a hint of resentment, "If we don't come today, His Majesty might not return for another year."

"You two have worked hard all these years."

Chen Sanshi knew that most of the promising talents in Tianyong City were selected by them from various places, and they were also the ones who taught the most basic methods such as "guiding qi into the body". They could be called "instructors of the Imperial Guard".

In the imperial harem, she was also the Director in charge of female officials.

Moreover, both of them have excellent aptitude. Despite the lack of resources, Ningxiang has reached the ninth level of Qi Refining and Zhaozhao has reached the eighth level of Qi Refining. They are both close to being able to start preparing for Foundation Establishment.

He said, "Tell me what reward you desire, and I will do my best to grant it."

"His Majesty."

Ningxiang shook her head: "I don't want anything. I just thought that we could take the two of us with us to this trial. Staying indoors all day isn't a good solution. After the trial, I want to stay in Tianshui with Zhaozhao and find another place to cultivate."

"Find another place?"

Chen Sanshi did not refuse: "How about this, wait a while longer. If I am unable to help you two get Foundation Establishment Pills, then I am incompetent. Wherever you want to go, I will absolutely not stop you."

"Your Majesty has misunderstood."

Ningxiang quickly explained, "I was born a citizen of the Han Dynasty and will die a ghost of the Han Dynasty. I certainly do not want to ask Your Majesty for resources. It's just that we both have special constitutions, and it would be difficult for us to make progress if we stayed in Shenzhou. It would be better for us to go elsewhere first and return when we have achieved something. That way, we can be more loyal to the court."

"No need for so much explanation."

Chen Sanshi said calmly, "In the blink of an eye, you have been following me for more than ten years. I will not doubt your loyalty, and even if you never come back in the future, I will not blame you."

"This servant kowtows to express gratitude for Heaven's grace."

Ningxiang knelt down on the ground.

"In that case, let's set off together."

Chen Sanshi led the two onto the dragon carriage, which soared into the clouds and headed straight for the ends of the earth.

"Emperor Chen".

Zhao Zhao asked, "What realm are you at now?"

"Foundation Building Realm."

Chen Sanshi, who was resting with his eyes closed, answered calmly.

"Foundation Building~"

Zhao Zhao put a finger to her lips, thinking to herself, "Then won't I catch up with you soon? Won't you be unable to beat me right away?"

"Zhao Zhao, don't be rude."

Ningxiang scolded, "How can you still be so disrespectful? His Majesty cultivates both immortal and martial arts, and can fight across borders. How can he be like you?"

"Idiot."

Chen Sanshi quipped, "Why are you so obsessed with defeating me? I have no grudge against you."

"No grudge?!"

Zhao Zhao's eyes widened. She first put her hands on her hips in disbelief, then raised her right hand, revealing a scar on her slender wrist: "You call this no grudge?"
