It’s too dangerous to seize the direct descendant, so I choose to be the leader of the Demon Cult

Chapter 111 Zhu Li: Why is it inappropriate for the three of us to be together?

When he came out of the practice room, the anger on Xiang Yunduan's face had completely dissipated.

nonsense!

How could he continue to be angry after receiving the benefits of a Huangji Pill for nothing?
This thing is a controlled item of the Zhao family. In terms of efficacy alone, a low-grade Huangji pill is worth at least thirty merit points in the merit library, which will greatly improve the Zhao family's disciples who practice Huangji Qi.

However, because the top alchemist of the royal family is out of business and now uses one less pill, the price quoted for the performance of Huangji Pill is falsely high by [-]%.

A low-grade Huangji Pill, 45 merits.

In the early stage of the government war, basically no government can handle it, but after the early stage, everyone has passed the physical state and missed the time to use Huangji Pill to enhance the physical body.

Therefore, all the children of the Zhao family can only look at the pills and sigh in excitement. Even if they are drooling with greed, they can only exchange their achievements for other resources.

It was rumored that at the tribute elixir conference, the emperor took out two low-grade Huangji elixirs to reward the two princes. All the people present in the sect's mansion were opposed to it, but they were all because the wine method of elixir refining was of great significance to the country and was completely worth two. Pill, so there is no objection.

But afterwards, the Zongren Mansion approached the emperor once and believed that Zhao Ci's performance was worth a mid-grade Huangji Pill. Zhao Yong's contribution could not reach the low-grade Huangji Pill, but the emperor used various reasons to excuse it. .

There was nothing the Zongren Mansion could do. After all, the Emperor's Pill was taken from the emperor's private treasury, and the power of interpretation rested with the emperor.

So it is enough to show how precious this Huangji Pill is!

It is reasonable for the Zongren Mansion to strictly supervise Huangji Dan.

Unless the children of the Zhao family have made great achievements, or are ruthless enough to wrong their subordinates and exchange merit points for it, there is no way to obtain this thing.

Zhao Ci was willing to give this elixir to himself, it was really...

"Snapped!"

Xiang Yunduan slapped himself in the face.

It seemed like I was questioning him just now?

Damn me!

"Uncle, you..."

Zhao Ci was startled by him.

Xiang Yunduan glanced at his nephew with complicated eyes, waved his hands cursingly and said: "The feng shui of your Tenth Prince's Mansion is really not good, there are actually mosquitoes in autumn!"

Zhao Ci: "..."

Xiang Yunduan waved his hand and left quickly. The elixir must be handed over secretly.

As for Zhao Qian, he still trusted him quite a lot. The former Lie Wang was also a comrade who fought alongside him, and his only thought was to regain the Northern Territory and restore Dayu.

If it weren't for trust, he wouldn't have let his daughter follow him.

He was sure that Zhao Qian also wanted the elixir and did not dare to leak the news.

Therefore, we only need to take Zhao Qian into seclusion and wait for him to fully absorb the medicinal properties of the Huangji Pill before leaving the seclusion. It just so happens that it is time for this kid to have his first bone forging.

It's just that this favor... is a huge debt. Although it is not given directly to Xiang Zenan, as long as Zhao Qian can rise, the benefits Xiang Zenan will receive will definitely not be less, and may not even be less than this Huangji Pill.

But my nephew seems to be a hundred times more cunning than imagined.

I have to find an opportunity to meet Lao Kan secretly for the first time!
"Hey!"

Zhao Ci stretched himself and finally gave away this hot potato.

If you look at it solely from the perspective of value, your business is undoubtedly losing money.

But things cannot be viewed purely this way, because after all, it is a top-level prohibited item, and it would be nice to give it away as a favor. I heard that those overseas gray goods that want to launder money are almost cut in half.

Although it was Xiang Zenan's name that was hanging on the name, it was impossible not to fall on him.

Zhao Qianji wanted to owe him a favor.

As soon as this Emperor's Pill was sent out, it was designated that the favor would be owed.

As for Zhao Qian's character, he was selected by Xiang Yunduan.

My ninth uncle may not be complicated in person, but with Mr. Kan standing behind him, it cannot be simple.

"Forget about these..."

Zhao Ci shook his head. He knew that there might be a big background behind this, but he didn't want to understand it at all, at least not in a short time.

Once you get involved in some things, it's hard not to get caught up in them.

First, I have no sense of belonging, second, I have no strength, and third, I have no mentality.

Now I am very cautious when trying to pull things between Lao Deng and Gu Xiangzhu. If I add the third layer of buff, my behavior will become abnormal sooner or later, and I will be discovered.

When you are a novice, you should act like a novice.

upgrade.

Brush up the comprehension value.

Mop the oil.

Just fine.

He adjusted his mood and returned to Kan Luotang's ward.

Before she opened the door, she heard Zhu Li's laughing voice coming from inside.

"Luotang, let me tell you, the martial arts of the past few days were much braver than mine. Even the hard persimmons that you didn't dare to pinch today, I took my turn to pinch them again."

"There were fifteen of them, and I lost a total of four games."

"Although my boss has won everything, he is afraid of being consumed by his candy, so he often admits defeat strategically."

"The victory of the ten princes is just for fun. A really strong general still has to look to me as the chief official."

"Why are you laughing? Do you not believe me?"

squeak...

The door opened.

Zhu Li's voice stopped suddenly and she calmly stopped the topic.

Kan Luotang looked at Zhao Ci at the door and showed a refreshing smile.

Seeing this, Feng Kucha stood up quickly: "Old Mo! We have to practice quickly, otherwise we will have to be held back in the future. Those five seem to be practicing behind us, so let's go quickly!"

"it is good!"

Yang Mo responded dully and stood up.

Feng Kucha took two steps, turned around and asked, "Zhu Li, aren't you leaving?"

"What am I going to do?"

Zhu Li asked in confusion.

Feng Kucha grinned: "Don't you think it's inappropriate for three people to be in the same room?"

Zhu Li was stunned for a moment, looked at Kan Luotang, and then at Zhao Ci.

One is my best friend.

One is one's own best boss.

She became even more confused: "What's wrong with the three of us being together?"

Feng Kucha: "..."

Yang Mo: "..."

Zhao Ci nodded: "Yes! There is nothing inappropriate for the three of us to be together. Lao Feng and Lao Mo, you go ahead. The celebration banquet I asked the chef to prepare should be ready. The imperial chef specially borrowed from the palace, if It would be such a waste to let it cool.”

"Celebration banquet?"

Zhu Li jumped off the bed, walked to Zhao Ci, stood on tiptoes, and patted Zhao Ci on the shoulder with a serious face: "Boss! I should take care of my best friend here because of circumstances, but As the second most meritorious person, I have to attend, so I ask you to take care of Luo Tang."

Zhao Ci: "..."

Zhu Li walked quickly to the door, turned around and said, "Kuchazi, Yang Mo, why are you still standing there?"

Feng Kucha: "..."

Yang Mo: "..."

"Oh!"

The door is closed.

The room suddenly became a little quiet.

Kan Luotang looked at Zhao Ci, with a slight blush on his slightly pale cheeks.

She didn't know why. She didn't have any special feeling when they got along before. As soon as the marriage was announced, that feeling came out of nowhere.

Although there is only a trace, there seems to be something scratching the tip of the heart, making people unable to help but feel panicked.

may be because……

She remembered that on the martial arts stage, although she had consumed a lot of energy, her legs were not weak, and she didn't know why her grandfather had secretly pushed her.

"Is it better?"

"much better!"

"I thought you wouldn't be here today."

"Were you disappointed at that time?"

"Not really, but I'm curious as to why you are stuck at the last minute."

"Grandpa said that only when you save people can you impress people and let Quan Linge know that you have his support."

Kan Luotang smiled, but still hid the second half of the sentence: It can also impress you deeply and create friendship between men and women as soon as possible.

She didn't know why, but grandpa seemed to go to extremes easily.

Or he can't wait to draw a clear line with the Tenth Prince's Palace.

Or I wish the two of them could sleep in and have a baby as soon as possible.

Zhao Ci: "..."

Hey!
You put it so bluntly.

The old man has so many tricks.

When he was at the Zongren Mansion just now, when the old man saw Kan Luotang fainting, he asked him to be carried to the Tenth Prince's Mansion for treatment, for fear that others would not know that he was his grandson-in-law.

He asked curiously: "How did you convince the old man?"

Kan Luotang smiled and said: "Actually, grandpa always supports whatever decisions I make. There is nothing to convince me."

In fact, she still spent a lot of effort to convince Kan Tianji.

The turning point last night was the kowtow I made.

Finally, Kan Tianji said, "Grandpa never wanted to stop you. He stopped you before because he was worried that you would get lost in the love between men and women. But since you have your own beliefs, go ahead and do it! You are smarter than Grandpa." , more brave than your father, as long as that boy Zhao Ci doesn’t let you down, you may be able to accomplish what the Kan family has been unable to accomplish for generations.”

You can't say this to Zhao Ci just yet.

"correct!"

Kan Luotang suddenly said: "I came back in a hurry this time. I just explained the medication instructions to the officials in Beisan County. The autumn epidemic is likely to come soon. If possible, I would like to go back to Beisan County again.

This time, with the help of Qi Lian Dan, if it is handled well, future epidemics may be alleviated a lot.

One month is enough, don’t you think..."

Zhao Ci smiled and said: "Of course!"

"Ok!"

Kan Luotang breathed a sigh of relief. Although he had known that Zhao Ci would answer this way, he still couldn't help but feel happy when he heard it with his own ears.

She thought for a while: "Actually, this matter can be considered a major event that benefits the country and the people. If it is reported to the Ministry of Revenue, they should also include it in the task. No matter how many merits they evaluate, it will not be a waste of time. This matter Once the matter is settled, I will come back immediately so as not to slow down the progress of the government dispute."

Zhao Ci nodded: "Don't worry! Our achievements are not lacking for the time being, just do what you want to do."

"Ok!"

Kan Luotang didn't say any more polite words to him, but he was already convinced in his heart that Zhao Ci was the person he wanted to follow.

"correct!"

Zhao Ci asked: "Do you, the Kan family, know the battle strategy well?"

Kan Luotang nodded: "The Kan family does have many formation law books. In the whole Yu Dynasty, only the Zhuge clan of Bashu can rival us. It's just that the knowledge of formation law is too profound. I have studied hard for more than ten years. You are just getting started, do you need me to help you with anything?"

Hey!
on the road.

You knew I wanted to help you the moment you opened your mouth.

It is rumored that the formations and automatic operation mechanisms in many important places in the palace were designed by seniors of the Kan family.

He has been coveting these things for a long time.

He took out a blueprint from his arms and handed it over.

Kan Luotang was a little confused. He took it and looked at it for a while, then his heart skipped a beat: "Is this... your wine refining equipment?"

Although the drawing was very complicated and even a little messy, she could still see that the core principle was the same as that of folk distilled liquor. It was just that some new things that were temporarily incomprehensible were added to purify the liquor to that point. Already?
It's amazing. She has some knowledge of the craft of distilling liquor, but she hasn't studied it too deeply.

etc!That's not the point.

The point is...

She couldn't help but ask: "You just showed me such an important thing?"

Zhao Ci grinned: "We are all our own people, what can't we see?"

Government officials and marriages are superimposed. If this is not one of our own, then what is?
of course.

Kan Luotang's character is also one of the important reasons.

To be honest, he had a crush on his fiancée, but he never called her.

It's not that she doesn't meet his aesthetic taste, it's that this woman is too pure, and he admires many qualities, but it's hard to be moved by her.

He felt that this person could be trusted.

But the most important thing is that his current situation is getting worse and worse. If he only sticks to this wine refining process, he is afraid that he will suffer serious consequences sooner or later.

"..."

Kan Luotang thought for a moment: "This wine refining equipment can indeed be improved through formations. It is not too difficult. Give me some time and I will go back and read the classics. It should be completed within three months."

"No, no, no, don't be in a hurry to make wine!"

Zhao Ci waved his hand, and then took out another drawing: "I actually want you to do another favor. You should have seen our alchemy process.

In fact, after the release of high-purity wine, the alchemy process of Qi Dan has been greatly simplified. All the alchemist needs to do is to control the fire and refine the medicinal ingredients of the auxiliary medicine.

I'm thinking if I could design a formation that could automatically regulate the temperature of the flame.

Does this mean that as long as the quenched medicine is put into the furnace, the elixir can be automatically refined?
In this case, the production capacity of Qi Lian Dan can be increased by ten times or even dozens of times.

The liberated alchemists can also refine higher-level elixirs. "

"hiss……"

Kan Luotang's beautiful eyes widened as she looked at the drawing given by Zhao Ci. There were only a few simple boxes on it, but it made her feel like the door to a new world had opened.

In fact, during the Gongdan Conference, she was amazed by the alchemy model of the Xingyu Danhui. It was just like a running water mat, but it could explode into astonishing production capacity.

Now... everyone serving food on the flowing water table can be replaced by the formation.

The key is, she unexpectedly thought it was feasible!
Except for the difficulty of controlling the flame temperature with the formation, there are almost no obstacles.

If it succeeds, the price of Qi Training Pills will most likely drop tenfold from the current level.

Two taels of silver, even a poor family can afford it with gritted teeth, right?
Price is second.

Mainly yield.

If it really works, all the Qi-nourishing grasses on the market can be turned into Qi-training pills, and even the problems in the three counties in the North may be eradicated.

strange!
These two drawings, taken apart part by part, clearly do not have any particularly shocking designs.

Why do they come together to have such a magical effect?
[Kan Luotang’s current wish]: Help Zhao Ci realize the alchemy formation.Reward for completing the wish: Comprehension value +1000, skills can be stolen: "True Explanation of Kan's Formation".

Hey!
Zhao Ci asked: "Can it be done?"

As a time traveler, he has a strong obsession with "making alchemy in a rice cooker".

But he neither understands alchemy nor mechanical principles, so he can only give general ideas.

After waiting for so long, I finally found a formation master who was worthy of my support.

"can!"

Kan Luotang bit his lip: "It's just that my understanding of formations is still shallow, and some of the formations are not my Kan family's specialty. My grandfather may need to go to Zhuge's house."

Zhao Ci was immediately delighted: "How long will it take?"

Kan Luotang thought for a moment: "It can take as little as one year, as long as three years. Will it delay the government struggle?"

"No delay, no delay!"

Zhao Ci smiled and waved his hands, his lips almost reaching his ears.

Naturally, he wanted something like this not for the sake of government strife. Even if Kan Luotang had researched this thing, he wouldn't be able to take it out right away.

The significance of this thing is that if you master more advanced productivity, the wine refining process can be liberated as soon as possible.

He knew very well that all the major alchemy houses, including Feng Zhu's family, were frantically looking for brewing masters and spending money trying to crack this thing.

No matter how many years it takes for them to catch up with themselves, one thing is certain.

The wine refining technology in my hands must be gradually depreciating.

If it can be liberated, it can definitely be exchanged for greater benefits.

For example... Gu Xiangzhu's trust in that little girl.

Giving this thing to Gu Xiangzhu will not actually affect her at all, because Xingyu Danhui is opened by her and her. The advantage is that the two of them can eat it together, and the people from the Chu family hang out with the people from the Xiang family every day, so they have basically saved it. .

As for herself, her value to her was not just her wine refining skills.

She seems to be interested in her cultivation talent.

Therefore, even if it is handed over, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.

Don’t let your strength fall behind!

But relying solely on your own strength is absolutely not enough.

He needs allies.

Kan Tianji counts as one!
Xiang Yunduan counts as one!
Both of these two have considerable influence, but they do not have direct control over them.

Therefore, Gu Xiangzhu must grasp firmly and grasp the key position.

He chatted with Kan Luotang for a few more words and told her to take a good rest.

Zhao Ci left the wing and walked straight to the practice room.

There.

There are hanging spider silk and all the auxiliary medicines prepared in advance.

In his hand, he also took out the Taotie Talisman that he had already prepared.

I don’t know if these things together can fully exert the effect of the Body Xuan Tian Dan.

This wave...

You must develop first-grade tendons!
The same is true for Tianmojin!
He needs to become an extremely strong person, stronger than Xiang Tiange in the past.

……

Nine Palaces.

Exercise room.

Zhao Yong sat cross-legged for a long time before he managed to sort out his complicated thoughts.

Today, Kan Luotang helped Zhao Ci reverse the situation, which dampened his joy of winning the first place in the martial arts competition.

But he understood that no matter how jealous he was, it was everyone else's business.

Kan Tianji made the marriage public, and it became impossible for the girl who liked to wear white skirts to belong to him.

Torturing yourself with other people's things is the stupidest thing.

He needs to do.

Just deal with this government dispute well.

In this martial arts competition, he found that Prince Ying's palace was unexpectedly strong.

Zhao Ci is so powerful that it makes people vomit blood. Although he has two losers in his house, it will probably be extremely troublesome now that Kan Luotang joins him.

The Kan family inherits, and is extremely proficient in thunder, formation, and divination, and is even better than the Zhuge family.

The threat is too great!
I don't know what the father is thinking.

As if fearing that the fight for the throne would not be chaotic enough, having a fourth prince was not enough, so Zhao Ci was added to the mix.

"Hiss...huh?"

Zhao Yong suddenly turned his head and saw a middle-aged man dressed in black with an expressionless face.

It was the shadow that the prince sent specifically to contact him.

"Your Highness!"

"The prince has something to say?"

"Ok!"

Shadow nodded expressionlessly: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince agree that this feud is too chaotic and the Tenth Prince should be eliminated as soon as possible."

Zhao Yong raised his eyebrows: "That's exactly what I meant!"

His stereotype of Zhao Ciyong being weak has long been shattered.

During this trip to Beisan County, Zhao Ci not only was not tricked by Zhang De, but instead got 4 taels of silver and earned favors from the lower-level officials in Beisan County.He didn't know how to break the siege specially designed by the Demon Cult.

The strength shown in this martial arts competition is even more daunting.

The princelings and the four princelings have always been incompatible, but they also have different situations.

He could clearly feel Zhao Xie's fear of Zhao Ci.

I just didn't expect...the crown prince and the fourth prince to reach an agreement so quickly.

"So good!"

Shadow smiled lightly and said: "Your Highness, I believe you can handle this matter."

Zhao Yong nodded slightly: "Don't worry!"

The clan government does not allow cannibalism, but allows many competitive behaviors in government disputes.

As long as you don't kill anyone, don't join forces with outsiders, and don't do anything that violates Dayu's laws, all competitive behaviors are allowed.

They will even release tasks that can be taken on by multiple prefectures, and watch each prefecture fight to the death.

The purpose is to allow each government to grow rapidly in the inner volume, and at the same time deepen the friendship between the founders and the officials, so that they can influence the major families.

If he joins forces with Prince Ying's Prince's Mansion, no matter how strong Zhao Ci is, he will have to lie down.

As long as what the prince proposes is not a stupid plan in cooperation with the Demonic Cult.

He had no reason not to agree.

Watching the shadow figure disappear, Zhao Yong showed a faint smile on his lips, and the pressure in his heart became much lighter.

Then he took out the low-grade Huangji Pill from his arms.

After waiting for so long, he was finally able to perform his first bone forging.

He put the medicine bottle aside and started the Huangji Body Refining Technique. Once the body was adjusted to its peak state, he could strengthen the body's bones.

If you are lucky enough to forge your bones to the second level and open the divine treasure in your physical body, you will have the possibility to condense the divine patterns of the heavenly level.

Even compared to Xiang Tiange back then, it's not much different.

A few weeks down.

The powerful Huangji Qi filled his body.

He took a deep breath and prepared to open the elixir bottle.

But at this moment, Eunuch Li's high-pitched voice sounded outside the door.

"Your Majesty Ninth Prince! Your Majesty invites you!"

"Ok?"

Zhao Yong was stunned for a moment and quickly put the elixir back into his arms.

He hurried to open the door and asked curiously: "It's so late, father is still not asleep?"

Eunuch Li smiled and said: "How can your majesty sleep with three things on your mind?"

Zhao Yong asked curiously: "What three things?"

"The first thing is that His Highness Ninth Prince won the championship in this martial arts competition. As a father, His Majesty wanted to reward His Highness in his heart."

"What about the second one?"

Zhao Yong felt a little excited.

"The second thing is that your Majesty was watching the battle today and found that His Majesty has reached great perfection in Yijin and should be forging bones soon. For a long time, Your Majesty has been practicing on his own, so Your Majesty wants to protect His Majesty."

"Father, he actually..."

Zhao Yong's eyes were hot, and he was so moved that he almost burst into tears: "Where's the third one?"

The smile on Eunuch Li's face suddenly became sarcastic: "The third thing is, Your Majesty would like to ask His Highness why he colluded with the Demon Cult and killed each other!"

Zhao Yong: "!!!"
