Jie teaches the Immortal Sweeping Heaven’s Cultivation of All Heavens

The Eastern Cult Leader was genuinely surprised.

After all, the martial arts world and the imperial court are two unrelated worlds, yet his own younger brother actually knows the highest-ranking person in the imperial court!

Instead of pulling the cult leader to use his lightness skill to sneak into the leopard house, Liu Tong took out a token and was welcomed inside with the cult leader at the gate.

Cult Leader: "You have a very good relationship with the emperor."

Liu Tong: "Zhu Houzhao has a good personality, and my elder brother should appreciate him as well."

The cult leader raised an eyebrow, a hint of anticipation rising in his eyes for the emperor.

The two were taken to a palace and met Zhu Houzhao, who was lying in bed unable to get up.

Zhu Houzhao's eyes lit up when he saw Liu Dong: "You've come?!"

Liu Dong: "I'm here."

After he finished speaking, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

This dialogue sounds so much like Gu Long's style!
Zhu Houzhao sighed, "I entrust my life to you."

Liu Tong: "Don't you trust my medical skills?"

Zhu Houzhao: "It was precisely because I trusted your medical skills that I sought your help to save my life."

Yes, help.

Zhu Houzhao had already sensed the danger; someone wanted his life.

He fell into the water last September and caught a cold after being rescued.

The imperial physicians in the palace are not quacks, so how could they not even be able to treat a cold?
As a result, he was sick for more than three months, and his health continued to deteriorate.

This made him think more.

His relationship with his court officials was not good; they all hoped he would die soon so that a more obedient emperor could be installed in his place.

Ha, that's just wishful thinking.

Just wait, once he recovers, he'll settle accounts with these guys.

Zhu Houzhao then sent a message to Liu Tong through his trusted aide, expressing his gratitude for having such a skilled physician as a friend.

Otherwise, he would have died mysteriously, just as those courtiers had hoped.

Liu Tong walked to the bedside, took Zhu Houzhao's wrist, and took his pulse.

He put it down after a while and said, "He's been poisoned."

"As expected." Zhu Houzhao was not surprised at all.

Liu Tong: "This poison was a secret medicine in the palace during the Song Dynasty, but it was not in the hands of the royal family. Many emperors of the Song Dynasty did not have their own children to inherit the throne because of this medicine."

Liu Tong: "When poisoned by this, the symptoms look just like those of typhoid fever. Even the most skilled doctors would find it difficult to detect that the patient is poisoned. After six months, the poison will penetrate the internal organs and the poisoned person will die."

Liu Tong: "After the Yuan Dynasty entered the Central Plains, they thought this medicine had been lost, but they didn't expect that someone would still know about it. If you want to find the culprit, you can start by checking whether his ancestors were related to the Song Dynasty royal family."

Zhu Houzhao: "I understand."

He raised his voice: "Until what was done?"

A man in black floated down from the eaves, knelt down to pay his respects to Zhu Houzhao, and then floated away.

Liu Dong and the cult leader remained calm, having already noticed the man's presence before entering.

There wasn't just one; there were many others lurking in the shadows within the palace.

After all, he was the emperor, and he was surrounded by secret guards.

Liu Dong took out the gold needles and began to detoxify Zhu Houzhao.

He channeled the true energy of Changzhen Gong into Zhu Houzhao's body through the golden needles.

The true energy of Changzhen Gong has a nourishing effect, expelling toxins from Zhu Houzhao's body while simultaneously tonifying his body.

Zhu Houzhao's health is really poor now and he needs to take good care of himself.

Liu Tong was eager to see what fate awaited the scholar-official class of the Ming Dynasty with such a powerful emperor as Zhu Houzhao.

One of the reasons for the fall of the Ming Dynasty was the harm caused to the entire Ming Dynasty by these scholar-official classes.

If they were decimated by Zhu Houzhao and rendered powerless, they would be unable to harm the Ming Dynasty. Would the Ming Dynasty then be able to survive a little longer?

Liu Tong did not want the Manchus to enter the pass.

The Manchus' servile practices broke the backbone of the Chinese nation.

After Liu Dong finished her needlework, palace maids and eunuchs helped Zhu Houzhao to take a bath.

He was covered in sweat, and the sweat was black; it was the toxins he was expelling.

Liu Tong picked up his pen and wrote another prescription for Zhu Houzhao, and someone immediately went to brew the medicine.

After the medicine was brewed, Liu Tong checked it and found that nothing extra had been added.

Liu Tong handed the medicine to Zhu Houzhao, who took it and drank it down in one gulp, saying, "Now all the people around me are my trusted confidants. When my illness did not improve for two consecutive months, I dealt with a group of people."

Liu Dong: "It must have been really tough."

Zhu Houzhao nodded, "That's right."

Being an emperor is no easy task.

If he weren't the only son of his father, he truly wouldn't want to be emperor. Instead, he would prefer to be a great general conquering battlefields or a chivalrous wanderer seeking revenge.

Liu Tong forced out most of the poison from Zhu Houzhao's body, and the remaining poison could be completely eliminated after drinking medicine for a few more days.

He's in much better spirits and has the energy to pay attention to other people.

Zhu Houzhao's gaze fell on the cult leader, and he couldn't help but secretly exclaim "Good!"

This person is not only good-looking, but also has a domineering aura; he is truly an outstanding individual.

Zhu Houzhao began to consider befriending him.

Zhu Houzhao: "Liu Dong, is this gentleman also a friend of yours? May I ask his name?"

Liu Tong: "This is my older brother, my own older brother."

The leader: "I am Dongfang Bubai."

Even when facing the emperor of a country, our leader will not submit.

Zhu Houzhao paid no attention to the self-proclaimed title of the cult leader; he was very interested in the cult leader.

This one is the number one martial arts master in the world!
If I could learn a few tricks from him, would I be able to become a master myself?

Zhu Houzhao cupped his hands towards the leader and said, "Master of the East."

His attitude pleased the leader, who understood why his younger brother had become friends with Zhu Houzhao.

The leader of the Eastern Sect gave Zhu Houzhao a lot of face, and the two began to talk.

Afterwards, Zhu Houzhao's health improved, but he still presented himself as seriously ill to the outside world.

Zhu Houzhao and Dongfang Bubai also reached a cooperation agreement.

With the imperial court endorsing the Sun Moon Cult, who would dare to call it a demonic cult?

You said that people in the martial arts world look down on those in the imperial court and don't care about their opinions.

Ah, after all, this world is mostly made up of ordinary people, not people from the martial arts world.

Moreover, with the Sun Moon Cult around, it's uncertain how long those martial arts practitioners who defy the imperial court will survive.

However, the first thing to deal with is those guys in the imperial court.

Even though Zhu Houzhao knew that those guys were targeting him, he had no evidence and could not openly and legitimately deal with them.

If he really did that, he might as well give up being emperor.

Since those people used insidious methods, Zhu Houzhao decided to retaliate in kind.

Zhu Houzhao asked Liu Tong if he could make the secret medicine.

Liu Dong hesitated; he could make it, but he didn't want to.

Liu Tong had a feeling that if he helped kill those ministers, he would be tainted by bad karma, which would not do him any good.

Fortunately, Dongfang Bubai stepped in to help his younger brother, finding Ping Yizhi to research the secret medicine. (End of Chapter)
