Immortal weapon refiner

Chapter 956 The Throne Ceremony
The so-called magical elixir is a peerless elixir that has its own activity. Its medicinal power is twice that of the original elixir, or even more!

In addition, once this kind of magical elixir is taken, there is no need to worry about any side effects. Whether it is the accumulation of elixir poison or the incomplete refining of the medicinal power, they will be perfectly solved by the spirit of the elixir.

This is a level of alchemy that can be compared to the spirit of an instrument or formation. It is not an exaggeration to call his alchemy skills superb.

Even in the spiritual world, the ability to reach this level of alchemy skills is rare among millions.

"Ye Qingchen calls himself Lingchen Tianjun."

After coming out of Master Wu's cave, Li Qing whispered the name of the master of alchemy in the palace, and his thoughts began to wander again.

This person is the chief alchemist, and can be said to be the royal alchemist. As an outsider, it is quite difficult for him to ask this alchemist for help, let alone meet him.

Unless he goes to ask Prince Ning for help, now that Prince Ning is about to inherit the throne and become the ruler of a country, it should not be a problem for him to control the chief alchemist in the royal family.

However, this meant that he would owe King Ning another favor. Li Qing, who had originally planned to try not to have too much involvement with King Ning, fell into deep thought again.

To be honest, he has never suffered any loss since doing business with King Ning. On the contrary, he has always been the winner. No matter it was the previous transaction of Qilin Purple Blood Ginseng or the favors he received in the Xuantian Temple, all he had paid was to protect Ning's family in the Ning Mansion.

The only reason why Li Qing felt distrustful was because the means used by Prince Ning in the fight for the throne were too cruel, and even his uncle was almost parasitized and turned into a shadow puppet.

"The Heavenly Family has been ruthless since ancient times, let alone fighting for the throne of the Immortal Dynasty. It's not that I can't understand it."

As he spoke, Li Qing had already returned to his cave, and saw a purple-gold invitation quietly placed in front of his cave.

Seeing this scene, he had an idea and took the purple gold invitation in his hand.

It turned out to be an invitation to watch the coronation ceremony of Prince Ning. Li Qing, who had been labeled as a subordinate of Prince Ning, was naturally invited.

"In seven days, Prince Ning will ascend the throne and officially take up residence in the Golden Palace."

By then, he would be the third emperor of the Dayu Kingdom and should be called Emperor Ning.

"If we want to ask Master Ye Dan to help, we can't avoid King Ning. We have to go to the coronation ceremony."

In the end, Li Qing decided to go to watch the ceremony and at the same time try to find a way to make his request.

Seven days passed in a flash, and during this period of time, the Yujing City was in jubilation to the extreme. Everywhere you looked, there was a joyous atmosphere.

On the day of his coronation, a purple-gold unicorn was seen walking across the sky in the imperial palace, announcing its presence to the entire city.

The purple-gold glow bloomed, illuminating the entire sky of Yujing City in purple-gold, showing its nobility and magnificence.

"The purple-gold Qilin is an extremely noble bloodline in the Qilin clan. It is truly terrifying!"

"This Prince Ning actually obtained the true blood of a Qilin? Or the true blood of a purple Qilin. No wonder His Majesty passed the throne to him!"

"His Royal Highness Prince Ning's luck is truly great. He has even been favored by the Qilin. He will inherit the throne!"

"The Purple Gold Qilin, in terms of the nobleness of its bloodline, is even superior to your Majesty's Fire Qilin."

"."

Amidst the numerous discussions in Yujing City, the purple-gold Qilin slowly landed in the palace and lay prone, as if protecting the palace.

Li Qing, who had already entered the palace, couldn't help but gasp when he saw this scene.

He clearly remembered that the Qilin Purple Blood Ginseng he traded to King Ning was the essence and blood of a purple Qilin beast from the lower realm, and was definitely not a real purple-gold Qilin, which was an extremely noble existence.

Why is it that Prince Ning can now show the true form of the Purple Gold Kylin? This is simply incredible!

For a moment, Li Qing couldn't help but check the remaining Qilin Purple Blood Ginseng in his storage bag.

"That's not right. Although these ginseng herbs contain the essence of Qilin blood, no matter how good they are, they can't reach this level."

"Unless Prince Ning has some method to purify the blood essence or make the purple unicorn blood essence evolve, it is impossible to cultivate the purple gold unicorn true body with these ginseng herbs."

As a powerful prince, it is not surprising that he possesses such means.

Now Li Qing finally understood why the Emperor of Dayu would pass the throne to Prince Ning. The true form of the purple-gold Qilin was so convincing. In the immortal dynasty of Dayu, where Qilin is respected, Prince Ning should be the successor.

"The auspicious time has come!"

Along with a shrill voice, a tall and burly figure slowly walked out from the deep palace. He was wearing a purple-gold imperial robe, and the Qilin embroidered on it was so lifelike that it seemed as if it was about to jump out.

In front of the vast hall stood many princes, nobles, court officials, and aristocratic families from the Dayu Immortal Dynasty!
When the purple-robed figure appeared, everyone in front of the palace shouted in unison: "Welcome the new emperor!"

"May your majesty be blessed with everlasting immortality!"

Emperor Ning walked to the golden chair that symbolized supremacy. He slowly put on the luxurious crown made of purple jade beads on his head. Then, he walked up the steps again step by step. Finally, he came to the golden chair and slowly sat down, sitting on the throne that belonged to him.

The throne changed, Dayu changed its master, and the third generation emperor officially ascended the throne!
"Everyone, I love you!"

"I have received the mandate of Heaven and am able to inherit the throne."

"Thinking back to the time when our late Emperor Taizu started his business, he benefited the people, overcame all difficulties, created miracles in desperate situations, and finally established a grand cause!"

"Now that I have succeeded to the throne and become the common ruler of the world, at this time of a new beginning, I must reform and eliminate corruption, revitalize the government, promote the great cause, expand the territory, and seek future glory!"

"."

These generous and passionate words echoed out from the hall, spreading throughout the entire palace, and then resounded throughout the entire Yujing City.

As the voice fell, people outside the hall entered the hall one after another to pay homage to the new emperor.

"Appoint He Tai as the Minister of Dali Temple. Appoint."

What followed was a host of rewards. All the ministers who had been close to Emperor Ning and belonged to his camp were rewarded, either by promotions or generous gifts.

Finally, King Ning looked at Li Qing, who was standing at the end of the hall, and couldn't help but smile.

"Where is Li Qing?!"

Li Qing's heart trembled slightly, and he stood up with his fists clasped: "I am here!"

Swish!
In the golden palace, the gazes that seemed to be real were looking at Li Qing, sizing up this young-looking monk with curiosity.

"You once repelled the Shadow Clan in the city and protected my beloved concubine. You have performed great merits. You shall be greatly rewarded for this!"

"You have taught in the Imperial Academy for many years, and I believe you have learned a lot. Now are you willing to serve as an official in the court?"

"There is still an important position vacant in the Palace Secret Supervisory Office. Are you willing to serve as the director of the Secret Supervisory Office?"

The Secret Supervisory Office is an extremely important place. Its duty is to protect the safety of the palace and investigate various royal cases. It only obeys the emperor.

Among them, the strong men in the Secret Supervision Court are collectively called Imperial Palace Masters, while those in the Outer Court are spies and have an independent promotion system.

Li Qing was directly appointed as the dean of the Secret Supervisory Institute. In anyone's opinion, this was a step to heaven. All of a sudden, many ministers looked at Li Qing with a softer and closer gaze, with a hint of goodwill.

If Li Qing becomes the dean of the Secret Supervision Institute, he will definitely be an important figure worth winning over in the future.

Li Qing thought about this for a while and finally refused the offer.

"I only did my best in the palace, how dare I accept such an important position."

"Now I am the master of weapon refining in the Imperial Academy. Although my position is insignificant, I am doing what I love."

"So I beg Your Majesty to withdraw the imperial order!"

Wow!
The ministers present were in an uproar. They did not expect that Li Qing would actually refuse the position of dean of the Secret Supervisory Institute.

For a moment, they looked at Li Qing with extreme surprise, even confusion.

Emperor Ning, who was sitting in the main hall, couldn't help but raise his eyebrows after hearing this. He looked at Li Qing meaningfully, then nodded and said:
"Well, since you don't want to, I won't force you."

"You can leave for now. Come to the imperial study after the court session."

Li Qing clasped his fists again and stood back at the end of the crowd.

This was followed by a bunch of rewards, and then Emperor Ning said a lot of high-sounding words. The coronation ceremony that lasted for nearly a day finally came to an end.

At dusk, Li Qing came to the imperial study as Emperor Ning had said.

The newly enthroned Emperor Ning sat upright in a chair, dealing with a mountain of memorials, most of which came from all over the Dayu Dynasty.

"Sit down." Emperor Ning didn't even look at Li Qing, and was concentrating on reviewing the memorials.

Li Qing clasped his fists again and said, "I obey your command."

Hearing this, Emperor Ning smiled and said, "When did you and I become so distant? Is it just because of the new status of monarch and subject?"

"The present is different from the past. Since Your Majesty is the monarch, I will naturally abide by the etiquette between monarch and subject and dare not overstep my bounds."

Emperor Ning slowly put down the memorial in his hand, and his voice suddenly became a little more serious:

"Why did the court reject my promotion today?"

"Don't tell me you really like teaching. I know exactly why you went to the Imperial Academy."

In private, Emperor Ning no longer referred to himself as "Zhen".

Li Qing no longer called himself a minister. He smiled bitterly and said, "I once promised a friend that I would go to Tianyuan Continent to do a few things for him. It is not easy to shirk this responsibility, so I naturally dare not take on such an important position as the dean of the Secret Supervision Institute."

After these words came out, Emperor Ning's expression eased a little, and he shook his head and said:
"When the late emperor ascended the throne, he worked in the imperial study for ten days and ten nights without closing his eyes. It was because he did not have enough people he could trust that he had to do everything himself."

"I wanted to bring you to my side so that you could share some of the burden with me, but I didn't expect that you had already made a decision, so I had to give up on this matter."

Li Qing looked apologetic upon hearing this. He said, "I have failed your Majesty's expectations!"

"You don't have to call me Your Majesty in private."

"Tell me more about what reward you want. Since I have already succeeded to the throne, I can't really not give you any benefits."

"You are a weapon refiner. There are still some precious materials left in the imperial treasury. I can let you go in and pick any one of them."

Precious spiritual materials in the Dayu Imperial Treasury!

Hearing this, Li Qing's eyes lit up, but he soon thought of his other main purpose of this trip.

"Thank you very much, Your Majesty, for your generous gift, but what I want is not precious materials!"

"I heard that there is an alchemy master named Ye Qingchen in the palace. I wonder if I can ask this chief imperial alchemist to make a furnace of elixirs for me?"

Upon hearing Ye Qingchen's name, Emperor Ning nodded slowly and said, "Master Ye. He said he is the royal alchemist, but you can't just ask him to help you."

"But I have just ascended the throne, so I can go and talk to him. Master Ye Dan will not refuse."

Li Qing stood up, clasped his fists respectfully and said, "Thank you, senior!"

Late at night in the imperial palace, Li Qing came to the Yudan Pavilion alone.

To his surprise, in this prosperous palace, there was such a deserted building, which made him wonder if he had come to the cold palace.

However, the strong aroma of elixirs coming from inside was enough to prove that this place was not a cold palace, but the Imperial Pill Pavilion in the palace that specialized in refining elixirs.

The structure inside was intricate, with weeds growing wildly from the corners of the walls. The ground was also messy, with many broken tripods piled up, looking like it had been abandoned for a long time.

As soon as he came in, Li Qing saw a big gray rat holding a round and plump pill and gnawing on it under the moonlight.

"Squeak! Squeak!"

The fat rat looked at Li Qing warily, and after making sure that Li Qing had no ill intentions, it began to gnaw on the pill in its paws.

"This"

Li Qing was about to complain, but a voice suddenly rang out:

"Who is this? How dare you break into the Imperial Pill Pavilion so late at night? Could you be a pill thief?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a black tripod slowly flew out. It was carved with various animal patterns. When Li Qing saw the tripod for the first time, he couldn't help but stare at it.

"Is this the Chaos Ten Thousand Beasts Cauldron? No, it's just a replica!"

The Chaos Ten Thousand Beasts Cauldron is a Chaos treasure ranked sixteenth on the Chaos Ten Thousand Spirits List. It is engraved with the true forms of ten thousand beasts. Once covered in the cauldron, one will face the group attack of ten thousand beasts.

Soon, Li Qing took out the imperial edict he had received from Emperor Ning. He said, "In compliance with the imperial edict of His Majesty Emperor Ning, I have come to the Imperial Alchemy Pavilion to ask Master Ye Dan to help me refine a furnace of elixirs. I wonder if Master Ye Dan is in there?"

In an instant, the imitation of the Chaos Ten Thousand Beasts Cauldron came to a halt.

hum!
"Oh? You want me to make an elixir?"

"Doesn't the new emperor know the conditions for asking me to make an elixir?"

"First, I won't refine pills that are too easy. Second, every time I refine a pill, it takes away a thousand years of my lifespan!"

There is actually such a weird request, to take away a thousand years of life? !
Li Qing showed an expression of disbelief. He did not expect that the chief imperial alchemist in the palace would propose such conditions.

He thought for a moment and then said, "The elixir I want to refine is the Five Elements Guiyuan Pill! I wonder if Master Ye is sure about it?"
