Chapter 3282 Sending Kong Ning to Chang'an
Passing through Laoshu Hutong, Zhang Xuezhou learned about the progress of the Longevity Elixir.

Many people speculated that the Dragon Kings, who could summon wind and rain, were the great medicines raised by the Celestial Court. This speculation was not unfounded, but rather because dragons are special creatures. Even their saliva, which has been touched by their aura, can be used as medicine, and their excrement, after special processing, can be made into dragon saliva incense, which is extremely rare and valuable.

If saliva and feces are used in this way, then the possibility of using dragon blood, dragon meat, and dragon bones in medicine is even higher.

Although Zhang Xuezhou, Zheng Wukong, and the others were only guessing, they were already certain of the direction in their hearts.

"It would be rather tragic if the dragons were caught up in it without knowing it!"

Zhang Xuezhou thought about Ao Li, then pondered the other party's title of Great Dragon God, and then thought about the old Dragon Kings of the Four Seas, and a vague sense of unease crept into his heart.

If it weren't for Zhu Jiuyin standing in front of him, Ao Li, the Great Dragon God, might have been the next one to be eaten.

If the Han Dynasty were to conduct an investigation, it's possible that every official in the court might have shady dealings. While this statement isn't 100% accurate, if ten people were to be beheaded, at least half of them wouldn't be considered innocent.

The Celestial Court's investigation of the Dragon Clan was similar; whenever they wanted to investigate, they would inevitably find a plausible charge, thus making Ao Li the medicine in the furnace.

The matter was still speculation and had not been verified. Zhang Xuezhou did not gossip to Ao Li or take the opportunity to ask for some benefits.

He went to Maoling and told Rong Tianding about his inspection of Mount Tai.

"Can we recreate the Primordial Chaos Array from over there?"

Anyone else who goes to patrol Mount Tai will suffer hardship and exhaustion, but this is an exception for those skilled in flying.

Distance did not pose a problem for Zhang Xuezhou, and the environment of Mount Tai was not particularly treacherous.

On the contrary, this sent Zhang Xuezhou to the Yin-Yang School's lair.

Zhang Xuezhou could go to the Yin-Yang Secret Land of Mount Tai at any time, but it wouldn't be of much use for him to go alone, and the secret land wasn't something he could just move around in at will.

After listening briefly, Rong Tianding couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

He had heard Zhang Xuezhou share his spiritual cultivation experiences and knew that Zhang Xuezhou had once experienced a burst of spiritual energy.

Zhang Xuezhou simply explained the connection between the three secret realms of Mount Tai, Heaven, Earth, and Man, and touched upon the core of these three secret realms. Rong Tianding had already guessed Zhang Xuezhou's intention.

This intention does not contradict the needs of the new emperor; it's just that Zhang Xuezhou uses the formation for other purposes.

Compared to Zhang Xuezhou's intentions, Rong Tianding was more worried that Zhang Xuezhou would have difficulty setting up the large formation.

"Creating a perfect formation is not easy, but using a simple one is much easier!"

Zhang Xuezhou waved his hand, indicating that things were easy to do.

If it were to create a top-tier array similar to the Ten Thousand Mountains, Zhang Xuezhou felt he was incapable of doing so. However, if it were simply a matter of causing the three secret realms to interact and collide, thereby triggering an explosion of spiritual energy, the matter would be much simpler.

Of course, this simplicity is relative to a successful formation; the actual difficulty in creating one is still quite high.

This kind of thing is no less than Zhang Xuezhou's search for the Qi Refining Technique to open up the True Self Realm; it will take a long time and is not something that can be accomplished overnight.

Zhang Xuezhou didn't care too much, after all, the requirements for him to enter the True Self Realm were not low, and it was already good that he could get started.

"It wouldn't be bad if my cousin went over there and studied the Reincarnation Stone while he was there!"

Zhang Xuezhou still doesn't know if he has successfully been branded, and he doesn't dare to die casually.

At that moment, he could only bring Rong Tianding, Shi Wudao and others to verify it.

There were too many Reincarnation Stones. Zhang Xuezhou thought Shi Wudao could exchange them for treasures to entrust his soul to, and Rong Tianding could also learn from them. If everyone succeeded, that would be a great fortune. "I'm fine with it," Rong Tianding said. "After entering the realm of supernatural powers, I feel my abilities have become more powerful, but my cultivation is almost completely sealed. Traveling around isn't bad, but that person..."

Rong Tianding pointed to Kong Ning, who was sleeping in the side room.

Whether it was a habit of the demon race or Kong Ning's own self-abandonment, Kong Ning's daily life consisted only of eating, drinking and sleeping.

But Kong Ning was definitely not a kind person. Rong Tianding had seen bloodstains on Kong Ning's lips, indicating that the other party was not satisfied with eating a few pounds of meat here and had therefore sought other food.

Rong Tianding couldn't tell what Kong Ning had eaten, but he felt that Kong Ning was in a lot of trouble, and if he wanted to leave, he had to make sure that Kong Ning was properly settled.

“I spoke with Yi Shuo and arranged for Kong Ning to stay in Chang’an for a while, with plenty of food and drink,” Zhang Xuezhou said.

"Will she be shot dead by the demon-revealing mirror?" Rong Tianding whispered.

"She has cultivated the Nine Cauldrons Technique, which conceals her aura. This technique is somewhat effective. As long as she doesn't recklessly release her demonic energy under the Demon-Revealing Mirror, there shouldn't be any problem with her being shot down by the Mirror!"

Zhang Xuezhou has not yet gone to Changmen Palace to tinker with the Demon-Revealing Mirror. It's not that he doesn't want to use the power of the Demon-Revealing Mirror, but rather that Zhang Xuezhou also possesses demonic power within him, and he is not confident in controlling whether the Demon-Revealing Mirror will bring harm to himself.

Once the Demon-Revealing Mirror returned to the new emperor's control and became easier to use, and since the demons of Kunlun lacked the possibility of retaliation in the short term, Zhang Xuezhou temporarily put the matter aside.

However, if Donghua personally comes to Chang'an and engages in a life-or-death struggle with Zhang Xuezhou, Zhang Xuezhou will be willing to take the risk.

Dou Ying's Nine Cauldrons Technique could evade the Empress Dowager's inspection, and Lu Baibai and the others were not exposed by the Demon-Revealing Mirror after concealing their auras. Zhang Xuezhou felt that there was no major problem with Kong Ning's entry into Chang'an City.

"That woman is really lucky!"

Rong Tianding murmured.

Ordinary families can't afford to support a glutton like Kong Ning, especially since he's a rather risky demon; anyone who gets close has to be on guard.

Upon hearing that Zhang Xuezhou didn't care about the risks, Rong Tianding couldn't help but offer a reminder.

“My side is just a transit point for Kong Ning. His Majesty will be more anxious for Kong Ning than I am,” Zhang Xuezhou waved his hand and said, “As long as Kong Ning goes to Chang’an, he will contact Kong Ning as soon as possible and take him away!”

"Being good at flying is a highly sought-after skill!"

Rong Tianding finally sighed.

Those skilled in flying and leaping may have limited combat prowess, but they undoubtedly bring strategic value. Even demons who can communicate and are skilled in flying are potential allies.

If such a flying demon could also carry a human, the other party's importance would be elevated to another level.

Zhang Xuezhou was also a strategic beneficiary, which led to a deep connection between him and the new emperor. Even though Zhang Xuezhou had his own agenda and was always irresponsible, the new emperor still valued him highly.

"If His Majesty has Kong Ning, wouldn't that weaken your position?" Rong Tianding asked in a low voice.

"My path is almost cleared; whether or not the court's position is weakened is no longer important!"

Zhang Xuezhou shook his head, indicating that he didn't care.

If Kong Ning can replace him, his departure in the future will not have a significant impact.

The cultivation that was once completely in the dark is becoming increasingly clear to Zhang Xuezhou. He only needs to wait for the right opportunity and does not care about his position in the court.

Before he can completely pave his own way, he just needs to proceed step by step, and everything will fall into place naturally.
