Ouchi Taming the Cat, starting with the Ten Tiger Forms!

Chapter 547 Grand Introduction
Li Xuan was relieved to see that he had gotten away with it by using the candied haws.

The two maids stayed at home when Li Xuan was away and rarely left Jingyang Palace, so nothing special happened.

As the competition in the Imperial Garden had completely lost its suspense, no one in the palace dared to openly cause trouble for their Jingyang Palace.

Especially since there were several teams of eunuchs in fancy clothes patrolling outside their door, it was even more impossible for someone to risk his life to come and cause trouble.

Now it is almost the end of the year and there is only the last month left this year.

The weather in the capital has also become much colder, but it is much warmer than in the north, and the several heavy snowfalls have made people happy.

Auspicious snow indicates a good harvest, which makes people look forward to the coming of spring even more.

After Li Xuan returned from the northern border, he first absorbed the coldness in Princess Ankang's body.

This time, he also practiced the light body jumping technique to perfection, allowing Princess Ankang's skills to continue to improve.

"I wonder if it's so easy to perfect high-level martial arts?"

Li Xuan couldn't help but think so when he saw that Princess Ankang could practice these ninth-grade martial arts to perfection after only three times.

If this is really possible, it would be completely outrageous.

But Li Xuan was just thinking about it.

As long as the ninth-grade martial arts can still cause the coldness in Princess Ankang's body to erupt, Li Xuan will not easily let her learn higher-grade martial arts.

If an uncontrollable chill is triggered by then, it will be too late to regret.

Moreover, the lower three levels of martial arts focus on cultivating the power of Qi and blood, while the next three levels focus on the cultivation of true Qi and Tao.

Princess Ankang, who has no energy or blood, cannot practice these two things.

In other words, the lower three grades of exercises that focus on body training are more suitable for her.

But now we have to take it one step at a time, maybe there will be other turning points in the future.

At least judging from the current results, as Li Xuan continues to absorb the coldness in Princess Ankang's body, her health is getting better and better.

At the beginning of the year, Princess Ankang still looked sickly and spent her days basking in the sun and sleeping.

Princess Ankang is now as strong as an ox. Ordinary martial artists are not as healthy as her. Her physical fitness is also developing gradually and is almost on par with the growth curve of the orcs.

However, this method is not included in the current human cultivation system. We must find a way to allow Princess Ankang to continue to improve her strength in the future.

Doctor Xue has now become a frequent visitor to Jingyang Palace. On weekdays, he often visits Jingyang Palace under the name of outpatient treatment, but in fact he is more focused on guiding Yu'er in alchemy.

Yu'er is very hardworking in alchemy, and at least her performance so far has made Doctor Xue very satisfied.

Doctor Xue did not teach Yu'er those complicated medical theories and complex herbal properties. Instead, he adopted a fool-proof teaching method and only taught Yu'er the steps of making elixirs, asking her to follow suit and not to pay attention to the principles behind them for the time being.

This is a teaching method that is more suitable for Yu'er. After all, if she starts learning from the basic medical theories now, it will take several years for Yu'er to get started with alchemy.

And Doctor Xue was also trying it out by the way.

The Imperial Medical Service’s training of medical students spans an extremely long period of time, with particular emphasis on basic skills, all of which are trained in the direction of becoming masters of their generation.

But Doctor Xue felt that everyone had different talents, and the most common symptoms among the people were dizziness and fever. Not everyone had to have superb medical skills to be considered a good training model. Perhaps a good training model would be enough?
Simple illnesses are left to these doctors who only know basic medical skills, while more difficult and complicated cases are handled by famous doctors with superb medical skills.

Imperial Physician Xue explored many aspects of medical theory and also paid attention to the training of medical apprentices.

However, most of his ideas were opposed by other colleagues in the Imperial Medical Service.

For example, when it comes to the training of medical apprentices, most people are completely opposed to this shoddy training model.

There are already too many mediocre doctors in the world. If their imperial hospitals also train mediocre doctors, will the people still be able to get treatment in the future?

Although Doctor Xue was the best doctor in the world, most of his proposals at the Imperial Medical Bureau were rejected, which was the norm.

When he occasionally came to Jingyang Palace, he would complain about his situation to the three little ones from time to time.

Now that Yu'er has come to him as an experimental student, Doctor Xue naturally won't be polite.

Doctor Xue also explained this to Yu'er.

Yu'er was very happy to have Doctor Xue teaching her, so she didn't dare to ask for anything else and naturally agreed without hesitation.

"Alas, when can I find a formation master?"

Princess Ankang held her chin and looked at Yu'er who was refining elixir on the grass not far away, and couldn't help revealing an envious look.

During this period of time, Yu'er has made quite a few pills.

Although it was just a common item in daily life and could only cure a cold or indigestion, it gave Yu'er a strong positive feedback, allowing her to tinker with her alchemy furnace whenever she had free time.

In other words, Doctor Xue could provide an unlimited supply of medicinal materials for practice, otherwise Yu'er would have run out of materials long ago.

Li Xuan touched Princess Ankang's little head and told her not to be too anxious.

Li Xuan helped to inquire about this matter, but there was really no suitable candidate in the palace.

There are some formation masters in the palace, but none of them can be called a good teacher.

Doctor Xue is a master-level figure in alchemy, but among the formation masters in the palace, none of them can be called a master.

I heard from Manager Shang that formation masters need to travel around the world and comprehend the wonders of heaven and earth from the wonders of nature, so as to learn from them and improve their formations.

Therefore, even in the Daxing Palace, there is no qualification to keep a formation master.

Moreover, the art of formation relies most on personal comprehension. If the master who leads the disciples is of average attainment, it is likely to limit the future achievements of the disciples.

Upon hearing this, Li Xuan decided to let Princess Ankang read the book on her own first and see if she would have the chance to meet a master later.

After all, when Li Xuan first wanted to study the formation, his main purpose was to uncover the secret of the formation under the Sun, Moon, Yin and Yang Pond.

That formation has the effect of gathering yin and yang. If Li Xuan can understand the mystery of it, it may be of great help to his cultivation.

It seems that Princess Ankang can still read those books on formations, otherwise Li Xuan would have given up on this matter long ago.

He initially tried to study the formation on his own, but ended up feeling dizzy after reading those introductory books, and his talent, which he was so proud of, became useless.

If Li Xuan's talent could be utilized in formation, no matter how difficult or profound it was, it would be easy to accomplish.

The three little ones spent a few days leisurely in Jingyang Palace, and then they received the news that Zhao Feng had returned to the palace.

Of course, the hunting officers of the northern team also returned with Zhao Feng. Wei Zhen also went to the palace to report on his work, which was a rare occurrence. He met with the emperor and reported all the situations he encountered in the northern border.

When Li Xuan saw Zhao Feng and Wei Zhen again, it was still in the courtyard of General Shang.

“After all these years, there hasn’t been much change here.”

Wei Zhen finished a cup of tea, savored the tea fragrance in his mouth, and couldn't help but sigh.

"Boy, are you saying that I'm unchanging?"

Manager Shang scolded with a smile, then directly handed Wei Zhen a large pot and asked him to drink it from the pot.

"No, isn't this a compliment to your loyalty until death?"

Wei Zhen's words made Li Xuan almost stumble and fall off the table.

"Brother, you can talk."

Li Xuan slandered.

Manager Shang laughed loudly, and Zhao Feng shook his head helplessly.

"You have always been the smartest kid since you were little."

Shang Zongguan didn't know whether he was praising Wei Zhen or belittling him. "That's right!"

Wei Zhen immediately took it as a compliment from Shang Zongguan and accepted it without hesitation.

He looked at the courtyard and couldn't help but recall: "When we were young, Lao Zhao and I did a lot of small things here, otherwise how could we have the skills we have now?"

As he spoke, Wei Zhen began to talk about his and Zhao Feng’s youth.

Wei Zhen and Zhao Feng both entered the palace at a young age, and started working in the deep palace to make a living when they were ignorant children.

It's just that both of them are lucky and have good godfathers.

But Wei Zhen was unlucky. His godfather passed away after only a few years of serving him.

Wei Zhen's sworn brothers naturally scattered like monkeys when the tree fell, and each went to look for a new godfather.

However, Wei Zhen, who was not very old at the time, showed filial piety to his godfather, whom he had worshipped for only a few years, and managed the funeral affairs.

It just so happened that Wei Zhen's godfather had a good relationship with Manager Shang, so he accepted him in and took care of him as well.

It's just that over the years, Wei Zhen never mentioned taking Shang Zongguan as his godfather, and Shang Zongguan never adopted Wei Zhen as his adopted son, but the actual relationship is indeed no different from that of adoptive father and son.

Wei Zhen's personality was not suitable for staying in the palace, and he had no desire to stay in the palace, so Chief Steward Shang sent him to be a hunting officer early on. As a result, he has been in the position of hunting officer until now.

When people get older, they always like to reminisce about the past.

In memory, there are always some moments that are nothing special when experienced, but are worth a thousand words when recalled.

Li Xuan listened to the three old men talking about their memories and found it quite interesting.

They reminisced about the past and chatted for a long time, slowly turning the topic to what happened in the North.

"Feng'er, did you get any clues from the four White Wolf Guards?"

In response to Manager Shang's question, Zhao Feng smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"Those White Wolf Guards have also received special training. Ordinary interrogation methods are completely useless. They know their own value, so death does not pose a threat."

"The most important thing is that they are extremely loyal to the Wolf King. We are afraid that they will endanger their lives and we will not be able to obtain any intelligence."

As a general rule, the higher the martial artist's cultivation, the more he values ​​his life.

After all, it’s not easy for anyone to get to this point.

But there is one type of person that is different, and that is the fanatics.

Regardless of whether they are fanatical believers in an individual or in imperial power and faith, this kind of person is the most difficult to deal with.

"It seems that the current Desert Wolf Lord is indeed as his reputation suggests, a lord with great talent and strategy."

Manager Shang nodded.

The Wolf Lord competed for the position, unlike Daxing who relied on bloodline inheritance. It can be said that the belief of the desert is the belief in strength.

However, this way of ascending to power is too barbaric, and it will always lead to a lot of internal friction, hindering the smooth development of the dynasty.

But this is the tradition of the desert, and no one can change it.

The current Desert Wolf Lord has come to power smoothly, without causing too much internal friction in the desert, and has exercised stable rule for quite a long time, which is why the threat to Daxing has gradually become increasingly greater.

"It looks like it will take a little longer to figure out what's going on in the North."

Shang Zongguan's words made Zhao Feng ask, "Godfather, is there no progress with the Great Desert Diplomatic Mission?"

After what happened, he believed that the Ministry of Internal Affairs would not let the desert envoys go.

"No." Shang shook his head and continued, "Prince Zheng and his civil servants will protect him to the death and will not allow the Ministry of Internal Affairs to intervene."

"As for the Ministry of Justice's own trial, there is even less hope."

Manager Shang's answer made Zhao Feng silent.

As the current head of the Imperial Household Department, he knew that the Imperial Household Department was powerless under such circumstances.

Wei Zhen on the side said unhappily: "Such a big thing has happened. At worst, the Ministry of Internal Affairs can just grit their teeth and forcibly rescue the person!"

"When the time comes, we can just throw up our hands and say that it was Damao who robbed him, right?"

Zhao Feng couldn't help but roll his eyes: "I think your brain has been frozen in that damn place!"

"You can only do it openly, you can't do it secretly."

"The other side is waiting for us to make a mistake. Once our Ministry of Internal Affairs breaks out of the prison, the experts arranged by King Zheng will kill our people on the spot without hesitation!"

"If you take advantage of this opportunity to cause trouble again, your Majesty's position in the court will be further threatened."

Wei Zhen was not annoyed by this.

He knew he was a rookie in this area.

But Wei Zhen couldn't help but ask: "What is the strength of King Zheng now?"

This concerns whether the eunuchs in the palace will face a round of reshuffle, and even Wei Zhen couldn't help but look serious.

"Prince Zheng has almost won over all the forces that can be won over in the court. The remaining ones are impossible."

"So most of the civil officials are influenced by King Zheng. Only the nobles and the military families are still waiting and watching. After all, they have the strength to wait and see."

"As for the confidants that Your Majesty has cultivated, although their number has increased in recent years, they are still too few and are easy to be targeted. They are not reliable enough."

"As for outside the court, I heard that even the Money Gang in the capital is going to change its name."

"Hiss——" Wei Zhen took a breath of cold air.

Although he was not clear about the court situation in the capital, he had some understanding of the Money Gang.

The Jinqian Gang is the largest gang in Daxing after all. It would be troublesome if it were controlled by King Zheng.

"I remember that the leader of the Money Gang was a man who would do anything for money. Didn't King Zheng buy the gang?" Wei Zhen asked.

"It's not that simple. The leader of the Money Gang seems to have things that are more important to him than money."

Zhao Feng said this and looked at Li Xuan who was standing aside.

Li Xuanzheng was making his own iced black tea.

He asked Manager Shang to pour him a cup of black tea, and then drank it himself while it was cold.

Seeing the three old men looking at him, Li Xuan smiled embarrassedly.

Although Wei Zhen was also looking at Li Xuan, he was confused.

"Why see Dr. Cat?"

Zhao Feng coughed dryly and cleared his throat.

"Old Wei, let me introduce you to you."

"This is the divine beast of Princess Ankang, the leader of the Red Scarf Team who is in charge of the underground industry in the capital. He is known as the Great Auspicious Sign of Great Prosperity and nicknamed Mo Tiansheng Mo Daxia by the people of Jianghu. This is Ah Xuan."

Li Xuan nodded repeatedly at first, but when he heard the unfamiliar nickname at the end, his big eyes were full of confusion.

"What's that meow?"
