His Majesty is plotting a rebellion? Quickly, summon the Imperial Advisor!

Meanwhile, after washing up, Ji Yuan followed Xu Bing to the backyard, where, just like yesterday, the ropes binding her were removed.

She took the spear, loosened her wrists, and then her eyes flashed with murderous intent as she charged forward. She was tall and slender, not a delicate and frail young woman, but a seasoned military commander with the marks of rigorous training.

Their gunplay was exquisite, yet subtly deadly.

A shot came flying, and Xu Bing dodged to the side, drawing his gun to counterattack. Ji Yuan's beautiful eyes flashed with a sharp glint, and she stepped forward, the tip, shaft, and butt of the gun all becoming her weapon, an extension of her arm, and a deadly weapon.

His martial arts realm of the ninth level of the Profound Realm was clearly revealed; every thrust and every movement contained domineering power.

Xu Bing also entered the Tongxuan realm, and the power of Tongxuan attached itself to the tip of his spear. He fought Ji Yuan to a standstill, but in terms of spear skills, he was still far inferior to Ji Yuan, who had been tempered by countless battles on the battlefield.

At last.

Ji Yuan touched the ground with the tip of his spear and kicked Xu Bing in the chest.

He kicked Xu Bing several meters away.

"Success!"

Overjoyed, she wanted to press her advantage.

But then a golden rope flew out from the shadows.

"It's time," Xu Bing said with a smile as he slowly got up.

Ji Yuan struggled angrily for a few moments, but had no choice but to suppress the surge of energy she had just gained.

Since we didn't kill Xu Bing this time, we'll just have to wait until tomorrow.

……

After settling Ji Yuan in, Xu Bing returned to the open space in the backyard under her angry gaze.

He took out the thousand-pound spear and began his daily training. This thousand-pound spear weighed a thousand pounds, and Xu Bing found it very difficult to wield. It could quickly drain his physical strength and bring him close to his limit.

First, I ran with a load, then practiced the Nine-Shot Fist, and then practiced the newly acquired Dragon Playing Spear Technique.

He had also taken a "potency-reducing pill" beforehand.

The Elimination Pill's effects last for seven days, during which time it greatly enhances the elimination of old tendencies.

And this moment.

Ji Yuan was in the room, watching Xu Bing exercise.

She lay in bed, furious. This man had deliberately tied her wrists and ankles together, intentionally preventing her from sleeping peacefully.

Her kick had really hurt Xu Bing a lot.

This guy is waiting for an opportunity to get revenge.

She knew this too, and her anger was building up inside her. Tomorrow she was determined to kick him harder, to the point of killing him.

Inside the inner courtyard.

Xu Bing wielded the thousand-pound spear, mastering the Dragon Playing Spear Technique. His stamina was rapidly depleted, and he had to stop and rest for several minutes after almost every set to recover his strength.

That's how he practiced, over and over again. Martial artists emphasize perseverance. Even without the earth-shattering power of a Qi cultivator, they can still temper their will and strengthen themselves.

In short, it is entirely beneficial and without any harm.

Xu Bing's clothes were completely soaked, and he checked the system panel.

[Host: Xu Bing]

[Identity: Grand Preceptor of the Great Xi Kingdom]

[Cultivation Level: Peak of the Lantern-Carrying Realm (Treasure Seeker)]

[Martial Arts: Fourth Level of Tongxuan]

[Prestige: 61]

【Charm: 99】

[Capital of the Great Dao: 7]

……

Xu Bing continued to make steady progress.

After finishing my workout, I couldn't help but touch my chest.

Ji Yuan's kick just now was full of killing intent and it was a solid kick that injured him quite badly. It took him a few minutes to recover.

But he needs this kind of opponent.

Ji Yuan wouldn't hold back against him; he could be used as a training ground to hone his marksmanship and gain experience in combat.

When Xu Bing finished washing up and changed his clothes, he found that they were much looser. He smiled slightly and went to the bronze mirror in his bedroom.

Upon closer inspection...

This surprised even him somewhat.

This elixir of life-extinguishing power is truly miraculous.

The person in the bronze mirror could already be described as a handsome man, with long, deep-set eyes like sharp swords, and in the blink of an eye, like enchanting peach blossoms; his eyebrows were sharp, and his nose was high and prominent…

Although the old order is gradually fading, even I am starting to feel the changes. It seems that the old order is not entirely without influence on me.

My true appearance is probably much more perfect than I imagined.

If the old momentum fades away, perhaps it will reach a new level.

Xu Bing dared not imagine how handsome he must be, but thinking about it, it made sense. Since he was a perfect mortal, his appearance, figure, and so on should all be perfect.

【Ding! 】

It's midnight.

[Host, do you wish to check in?]

The notification tone sounded again.

After a moment's thought, Xu Bing decided to just sign in at the Imperial Preceptor's residence, since it was a blessed place.

[Check-in successful. Check-in location: Imperial Preceptor's Residence.]

[Sign-in bonus: Reward - Low-grade magic weapon: Cloud and Rain Bead]

Xu Bing revealed a look of joy, and with a wave of his sleeve, a bright blue pearl floated in front of him.

It's another low-grade magic artifact.

He looked at his profile.

【Clouds and Raindrops】

Grade: Low Grade

[Description: This bead is formed from the essence of heaven and earth, with the root of clouds as its body and the root of rain as its soul. Holding it can enhance one's physical strength, grant the ability to control clouds and rain, and even alter the weather.]

[Note: Rainfall and temperature changes are governed by the will of Heaven; reckless rainfall will bring misfortune.]

Xu Bing was very satisfied. As for the final note, he simply ignored it. He was a perfect mortal, and things like cause and effect, taboos, and laws were irrelevant to him.

This bead is more useful to him than to other cultivators, and... he has a feeling he will be able to use it.

“It’s truly a blessing from heaven,” Xu Bing said.

at this time.

The system's electronic voice sounded again.

【Ding! 】

[Host adaptation has been detected.]

[Daily check-in rules upgraded!]

[The host can change the daily check-in to a weekly, monthly, quarterly, or yearly check-in...]

The longer you check in, the better the rewards, and the greater the chance of triggering a critical hit!

Xu Bing asked in his heart, "Is there a chance to get top-tier items by signing in daily?"

There is still a chance to obtain a top-tier item through a critical hit, but the probability is relatively low.

After hesitating for a moment, Xu Bing decided to continue the daily check-in for the time being.

He needs various rewards to help him.

Moreover, the daily sign-in rewards aren't bad either; sometimes a critical hit yields a low-grade magic weapon, which is enough for him.

Some people may not understand what a low-grade magic weapon is.

Xu Bingyue could increasingly feel the importance of high-quality ritual implements.

If he were to give an analogy, a low-grade magic weapon would be equivalent to having... an unbelievable superpower in the society of his previous life.

Yes.

It's beyond what money can measure.

[New quest available!]

【New Task】

Conquering Empress Ji Yuan

[The host's wings are growing stronger; he has conquered Ji Yuan and taken control of the dragon.]

[Task Rewards: One low-grade Yuan Vein, one Supreme Lottery Draw, and the chance to obtain the Imperial Tutor's Left Eye.]

[Accepting this quest will upgrade the ruler's panel.]

"Why not take it?" Xu Bing accepted the call without hesitation and immediately continued to check the system.

He paid special attention to the words "original vein".

Once an imperial dynasty possesses a "primordial vein," it means it can produce primordial stones and has the right to trade with the forces in the mountains.

Generally, only powerful dynasties, nurtured by outstanding people and abundant resources, can give birth to a primordial vein. In short, this thing is very important.

【New Task】

Expand your residence

[The Imperial Preceptor's residence has been abandoned for many days and has hardly been maintained. Please increase the number of people in the residence by 15.]

[Mission Rewards: +3 to the Blessed Land of the Imperial Preceptor's Residence, and ten chances to win the National Fortune Lottery!]
