Half an hour later, Li Chengji looked at Li Xuan, who was frozen until he was shivering, then he finally stopped, satisfied.
"Very good!" Li Chengji’s eyes showed a hint of surprise. Li Xuan’s progress in martial arts was astonishing and shocking, almost every single day.
"I should say, he brings a lot of surprises. His progress in Ice Style is already impressive, and it’s even more rapid on the Thunder Style."
Li Xuan knew that it was because he had observed the masters’ battles several tis in the past two days. Both Jiang Hanyun and Su Zhaojun have accumulated outstanding knowledge in the Thunder Style Secret.
At this mont, his teeth were chattering, his whole body was shivering, and he said resentfully, "Old man, go ahead, do you believe if I show up for dinner at the main house like this tonight?"
"Sure, as your father, I don’t mind."
Li Chengji stroked his beard with a sense of triumph in his eyes, "Your Majesty’s decree, it should be delivered to our house soon. As a father who is loyal to the country and diligent in the king’s affairs, I will go directly to Bagua Continent for duty tonight and not stay in Earl’s mansion. Hmm, with busy official matters, I probably won’t be able to co back ho for a month or two."
Li Xuan’s eyes widened, and his chin almost dropped in surprise. He thought to himself, fuck, so the old man has this trick up his sleeve?
Bagua Continent is to the north of Nanjing, an islet in the middle of the river, separated from Nanjing City by the Yangtze River. The stations of the nearly 9,000 naval forces of Nanjing’s two guards and eight camps are all located here.
No matter how ferocious his mother, Mrs. Liu, is, she probably won’t be able to extend her reach into the barracks.
"But if soone genuinely wants to learn, then I can stay at ho for a few more days to work from ho. After all, with Yan and the others still injured, how can I feel at ease to leave? Even His Majesty has to consider human feelings."
Li Chengji looked at him with a smiling face, "Xuan, which one do you choose?"
Li Xuan grumbled, although he didn’t speak, he began to use the Power of Thunder to defrost himself.
At this ti, Li Chengji once again threw the knife enshrined in the ancestral hall at Li Xuan: "To quickly comprehend the true aning of Martial Law, you can’t do without this way of invoking the god, seeking the help of our ancestors. First, see how he uses Ice-Thunder Style with Great Rectitude, and then I will help you strengthen and solidify it, try to let you get started within three days."
By the way, you should’ve swallowed the Four-turns Dahuan Elixir this ti, you haven’t used this elixir yet, right? This can make you last a little longer. With the help of the old ancestor to refine the dicinal power, you can also save you dozens of days developing your foundation."
As soon as Li Xuan took the elixir and completed nurous preparations under Li Chengji’s guidance. His pupils subtly changed, revealing a hint of purple, and his montum also changed slightly.
Snowflakes began to flutter all over the martial arts training ground.
"Hmm? This junior, you are pretty good. How long has it been? In more than a month, your cultivation has reached this level, and the montum of the martial arts has also entered the advanced stage. So this ti, you want to explore the threshold of the Real Intent of Cold Law and Thunder? Hmm, this is Great Rectitude Martial Intention?"
’Li Lexing’ suddenly let out a surprised exclamation: "Interesting! This Hao Qi is even purer than mine? The only shortcoming is that it is too exuberant and not enough profound. Luckily, among my descendants, there is actually soone who can carry on my career."
He then looked towards the well-prepared Li Chengji, with a strange look on his face: "Want to defeat your father with his own style? Is this your idea? Don’t let others hear about it? But I have already said it. Let’s get back to the point, defeating your father may be a bit difficult. Your father is quite knowledgeable in martial arts, but I will do my best. Watch closely, kid-"
After listening, Li Chengji couldn’t help but sneer secretly. Thinking that this unfilial son, sure enough, needs to find an opportunity to discipline him a few more tis.
At this mont, ’Li Lexing’ suddenly swung his knife. Sohow, he had already appeared in front of Li Chengji.
"The core of my Thunder Style Secret is like this!"
Li Chengji was shocked and managed to block it in the nick of ti.
’Li Lexing’ swordsmanship neither possesses the killing power of thunder nor its uncontrollable frenzy, but is extrely unpredictable, his sword was just two inches away from reaching the skin of his neck.
At this ti Li Lexing, was ’talking to himself.’
"Can you understand? Electronic transition? I don’t quite understand it, but it sounds like it should an sothing similar, right? Your comprehension ability is very good. I have explained it nurous tis to my son, but he just couldn’t understand it, stupid-"
Upon hearing this, Li Chengji could not help but sweat profusely. Wasn’t Li Lexing’s son his grandfather?
At this ti, the thunder around Li Lexing began to turn violent. Two massive thunderous forces began to extend on both sides.
"But with your current cultivation, it is difficult to play out my core martial intent. Let’s start learning other things, the fury of divine thunder, the madness of thunderbolt, the key is the cooperation with Great Rectitude. This is the biggest difference between and other Wu cultivators-"
※※※※
While Li Xuan was ’studying hard’ in Earl Chengyi’s mansion, Xue Yunrou had arrived in front of Hongwu Gate outside the Forbidden City.
At the side gate of Hongwu Gate, a young and handso taoist, around twenty years old, was waiting there.
Xue Yunrou approached the handso taoist with a sowhat complex look: "Master Xuanchen! I have kept you waiting; there was a delay because of so affairs."
"It’s alright!" The taoist smiled and turned back, radiating an aura of gentleness and nobility: "It should be who troubled you. But this ti I have no choice, I’m under the order of my master to et His Royal Highness the Second Prince as soon as possible. But because the Prince was attacked on the river before, there are strict defenses around him, so it’s slightly troubleso."
"Yunrou will naturally spare no effort for this matter."
After Xue Yunrou finishes ringing, she shows so doubt in her eyes: "In fact, if my brother wants to see the second prince, he should have gone to look for my cousin."
Her cousin is Zhang Yingyuan, the head of Dongxuan Temple, that Vice Master Zhang.
"I’ve been there!" There was a hint of helplessness in Master Xuanchen’s eyes: "The matters spoken by the master are actually better conveyed by the vice tianshi. But he just so happens to be in ditation and it seems that he had to break it earlier due to so reason, so he has to make up for it this ti and can’t co out for eight or nine days. I thought about it and felt that I could only seek help from you, Yunrou."
His junior sister was not only close to Princess Changle, but her late father was also the second prince’s ntor. As for Xue Yunrou herself, she was also the court ritual mage appointed by the current Empress and was deeply trusted by the Empress and her son.
"My cousin is in ditation again? I didn’t know."
Upon hearing this, Xue Yunrou felt a bit guilty. Zhang Yingyuan’s premature breaking of the ditation was related to her.
"If that’s the case, brother, please follow !"
She held a purple palace token in her hand and led Xuanchenzi unimpededly into the Hongwu Gate, and kept going deeper into the palace.
At this ti, Xuanchenzi looked at Xue Yunrou with an amazed expression once again: "Looking at your overflowing mana, Yunrou, are you now at the seventh house level? When did this happen?"
"Not too long ago." Xue Yunrou seed to recall sothing, and a hint of smile appeared on her face: "After going through so experiences, my state of mind has stabilized and I just happened to break through."
"This is much faster than the master expected."
While Xuanchen admired, he kept staring at the side of Xue Yunrou’s clear and unparalleled face. He hesitated for a while before finally making a firm decision: "Right! Yunrou, I brought you a gift this ti when I ca down the mountain."
"Gift?" Xue Yunrou turned to him with a smile: "Then Yunrou thanks brother, what gift——"
She only took it as a common treasure of heaven and earth or sothing like a magical instrunt, but then Xue Yunrou saw a small red bird with a long phoenix crown tail fly out of Xuanchen’s sleeve.
Seeing this, Xue Yunrou was montarily stunned: "This is, the Huoyun Phoenix?"
—— This was the bloodline of the phoenix, which was extrely pure. Although it couldn’t compare to Tingtian Ao, it wasn’t off by much either. It was on par with Jiang Hanyun’s Four-Tailed Spirit Fox.
The latter had the blood of both the Nine-Tailed Fox and Baize, but because of her cousin’s troubles, it didn’t stand out.
"Haven’t you always wanted to cultivate fire law in addition to wind and thunder?"
Xuanchen smiled and said, "With this bird as your protector as a spiritual beast, your practice of the fire law will certainly be much easier. If you cultivate it carefully, it can also be a powerful helper."
Xue Yunrou looked at the small red bird, really liked it a lot, but then her thoughts moved, and she looked at the phoenix pattern mark on Xuanchen’s forehead.
—— It was said that this brother of hers had a protector spiritual beast, which was a ’red-blooded phoenix’, a bloodline of the phoenix.
And the so-called phoenix, phoenix being the male, and the phoenix being the female.
Xue Yunrou instantly lost her smile: "Brother, this gift is too precious, the pure breed of the black bird, worth millions, no less than a supre magical implent, Yunrou is too ashad to take this."
Xuanchen was unexpectedly taken aback: "What’s not accepted? Isn’t it common for us as brothers and sisters to give each other gifts? If Yunrou thinks this is too precious, you can give sothing of equivalent value in the future. Or are you saying, Yunrou, that you don’t like it?"
"It’s not that I don’t like it." Xue Yunrou shook her head, she thought carefully, and then seriously responded: "Brother, your intentions have always been clear to Yunrou. However, now is different from the past. Now, there is soone in Yunrou’s heart, and I can’t pretend to be ignorant. Brother, you are a good person, but Yunrou has always considered you as an older brother."
Upon hearing this, Xuanchen was as if struck by lightning, his entire body froze on the spot.
anwhile, a hint of regret flashed through Xue Yunrou’s eyes: "Yunrou’s Dao heart is not pure, always coveting the worldly life, is actually not suitable for brother. And with brother’s profound Dao, and handso looks, how could you not find a suitable Dao companion?"
Then she continued to walk forward, while Xuanchen, lost in spirit, followed behind her step by step, looking like a walking corpse.
And by the ti he woke up from his trance, they had already arrived in front of a temple.
Most of the palaces in the city of Nanjing have fallen into disrepair for many years, covered with wild grass. Only the one in front of them appeared to have been carefully restored, displaying a royal imposing atmosphere.
Xue Yunrou brought him under the corridor and glanced at him: "I am going to see the second prince, please wait here, brother, until the Neishi delivers the ssage."
After saying this, she entered the hall, while Xuanchen remained standing blankly.
But the next mont, a buddha’s na ca from the side: "Buddha of Infinite Life, I didn’t expect to bump into Master Xuanchen here, isn’t this fate?"
Another person laughed and said: "So Master Zhenru also knows Master Xuanchen."
Turning his head to look, Xuanchen found a familiar monk and two familiar scholars.
