Huangxiu

Chapter 61: Nine Layers
Prince Qing's Palace

back yard

A bright moon shines in the sky, and the moon in the lake sways with the waves.

There were bright lights in a pavilion on the lake.

Chu Zhiyuan opened the cold jade box, and the twenty pieces of dragon blood stones piled together looked like twenty pieces of red jade, which immediately made him smile.

The emperor was quite happy.

Twenty pieces of dragon blood stone are equivalent to twenty ninth-grade skills.

Saved myself a lot of time and energy!

"Are these red stones so good?" Bai Ningshuang glanced at him with an embarrassed look.

"Dragon Blood Stone, you can only exchange one piece for the ninth level of skill."

"It's so valuable?" Bai Ningshuang clicked his tongue.

At first, seeing the big box of red stones, and the box not being locked like last time, I thought it was not that valuable.

As soon as one mentions the Ninth Rank Merit, one can immediately understand how precious it is.

Chu Zhiyuan picked up a piece of dragon blood stone, put it in front of his eyes and looked at it, feeling his body stirring, and said with admiration: "This is a treasure that money can't buy."

Bai Ningshuang was delighted: "The emperor is really generous."

"You are worthy of being the emperor." Chu Zhiyuan said with a smile.

Although these dragon blood stones are very valuable, they are nothing to the emperor.

But people should not be too greedy and be unsatisfied.

No matter what, it is a huge fortune for me.

Bai Ningshuang frowned immediately, and her smile slowly faded: "The Queen said this is the last time."

“For the last time…” Chu Zhiyuan put the dragon blood stone back into the box, closed the cold jade box, and looked towards the direction of the palace with regret. It was a pity that he could not get any more benefits from it.

Taking advantage of the opportunity to fight against Prince Dazhen, he made a lot of money, which was a huge boost to his own development.

At least it shortens the hard training by several years.

Unfortunately, this opportunity only comes once.

"Yes, I told the queen about the Anguo Mansion, and the queen agreed to this marriage."

"mother……"

"It's settled." Bai Ningshuang waved her hand and said, "It will take a long time for you to think it through!"

Chu Zhiyuan said: "Wait and see."

Bai Ningshuang said angrily, "Why are you waiting? Anyway, I've already told Her Majesty, and Her Majesty will probably tell the Emperor, too."

Xiao Ruoling is an excellent daughter-in-law. After entering the mansion, she can let go of everything and live out her days in peace.

After so many years of hard work, it’s time for me to enjoy a peaceful life.

Whether it's birth, appearance or character, they are all top-notch. If you miss such a perfect match, you will regret it for the rest of your life.

I don't want to watch my son make mistakes.

Yuan'er is talented, but that is only in martial arts. He has never dabbled in matters between men and women, so of course he has to make his own decisions.

Chu Zhiyuan said: "Mom, marriage is a big deal and you still have to be careful."

"What's there to be cautious about as the daughter of a Duke? How is she unworthy of you?"

"I don't know her character..."

"He has a very good character, that's for sure. The dukes' and princes' houses in the capital are all like sieves. Who doesn't know the character of every child?"

"Mom, this Miss Xiao is not simple." Chu Zhiyuan said meaningfully.

"If it were really simple, it would be impossible to control the Duke's Mansion. It would have been played around by everyone, do you want a fool like that?"

"Too smart, mother, you should..."

"I wish she was smart and capable enough to manage the whole family, so I don't want to worry so much and want to live a few more years...Okay, stop nagging. I understand that you just don't want to get married and want to postpone it."

"..."

"Just go and do your own thing. You'll be practicing all day long. If you don't find a smart mistress, how can you concentrate on practicing?"

"..."

Chu Zhiyuan was speechless.

"Hurry up and practice martial arts. Practicing martial arts is a big deal." Bai Ningshuang waved her jade hand, stood up and left.

Chu Zhiyuan retracted his gaze and looked at the dragon blood stone again. He no longer suppressed the restlessness in his body, picked up a piece of dragon blood stone, and began to practice the second level of the Dragon Transformation Technique.

-

Two days later, in the morning, Chu Zhiyuan, who was sitting cross-legged on the couch, suddenly opened his eyes.

Her eyes are warm and crystal clear.

A smile rose from the corner of his mouth, slowly expanding, and finally spreading to his entire face.

He was so overwhelmed with joy that he wanted to roar to the sky.

I didn't expect it to be so smooth. The second level of the Dragon Transformation Art was completed in just two days. The Dragon Blood Stone is indeed a powerful tool for practicing the second level.

The second level of the Dragon Transformation Technique has been completed, and the circulation of true energy has accelerated.

With the same true Qi, the impact force increases dramatically as the speed increases, and it naturally breaks through the eighth floor of the Jade Tower, and the cultivation level enters the ninth floor realm.

He pushed open the window.

Zou Fang was standing at the door. Seeing the window open, he pushed the door open and came in: "My Lord..."

"Call Mo Yi and the others to wash themselves."

"Yes."

Mo Yi's four daughters came in quickly and started to get busy.

After surrounding the four sides with screens featuring mountains and water, they carried in a large bathtub filled with hot water. The water had a faint, refreshing fragrance.

Then they helped him take off his clothes, and then it was the turn of Mo Yi, one of the four girls, to help him wipe them.

Mo Yi was wearing a short shirt, revealing her crystal white legs and arms. She slowly sat in the tub. The water vapor made her skin become more pink, white with a rosy glow, and gorgeous and eye-catching.

But no one saw such beauty. Chu Zhiyuan closed his eyes and let her wipe and rub him. He was immersed in his practice, and the purple mist flowed rapidly along the complicated path.

There are a total of twenty whirlpools in the body, rotating slowly like a nebula. Whenever the misty purple air approaches, the flow suddenly accelerates.

The acceleration of the twenty whirlpools increased the overall flow speed of the purple energy five times.

Chu Zhiyuan was quite surprised.

Five times faster.

This speed is consistent with the speed of the Dragon Transformation Art when stimulated by the Flying Dragon Ball. Is there any connection between the two?
The more I practice, the more I feel that the Dragon Subduing Sect is extraordinary.

The Dragon Transformation Art looks simple and only requires extremely high aptitude, but as you practice it you will find that there are many unsolved mysteries.

He felt emotional while enjoying Mo Yi's service.

If this is the case with the Jianglong Sect, what about the Taiqing Yuan Sect and the Yuxu Sword Sect?

I'm afraid it's not that easy.

As he was thinking, he practiced the third level of the Dragon Transformation Technique and could clearly see wisps of aura falling on his bones and seeping into their skeletons.

Bones undergo subtle changes, becoming denser, stronger, and lighter.

Increased density, increased strength, reduced weight.

He observed the changes in the bones. They were not tempered like forged iron, but were made of alloys like in his previous life.

As the third level of his mental method began to operate, he felt as if he was floating in the air, as if his bones had turned into those of a bird and the air was able to lift him up.

At the same time, there is a sense of power, as if one punch could shatter the sky.

He eliminated the interference of these two illusions, closed his eyes and did not move, just observing the subtle changes in his body and experiencing the mystery of the Dragon Transformation Art.

After washing up, he had dinner served by the four daughters of Mo Yi, and then came to Mingwu Palace.

At this time, the sun has risen.

Seeing him appear, everyone looked over curiously.

Everyone knows that he has been practicing in seclusion these two days, and wants to know the results of his retreat.

Chu Qingfeng took a step closer to him, stretched out his hand and put his wrist, his frost eyebrows raised: "Ninth floor?"

Incredible.

Even if the emperor's brother secretly supports it, it is still unbelievable.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and nodded.

"Good boy!" Chu Qingfeng released his hand and pressed his shoulder.

Chu Zhiyuan felt as if a mountain was pressing down on him. He subconsciously bent his knees slightly to relieve the force, and his bones seemed to be creaking.

Chu Qingfeng let go of his hand and nodded with satisfaction.

“Uncle…” Chu Zhiyuan wiped the non-existent sweat from his forehead.

Chu Qingfeng smiled and said, "Boy, this time it's almost done."

Chu Zhiyuan said: "If it still doesn't work, then there is really nothing we can do. We have tried our best."

If it weren't for Cheng Tianfeng's challenge, my cultivation level would probably be at most the fourth level now, and I would definitely not be able to reach the ninth level.

"The Dazhen envoys will arrive tomorrow."

"So fast?"

"When approaching Yujing, the delegation suddenly sped up and arrived ahead of schedule."

"That's just in time." Chu Zhiyuan said.

If I had started my retreat two days later and had not mastered the second level of the Dragon Transformation Technique, I would not have been able to say that I was confident. Now I feel more confident.

"You are an official from the Ministry of Rites. We will go to greet them together when the time comes."

Chu Zhiyuan nodded, meaning exactly that.

Also, take the opportunity to find out the strength of the Dazhen delegation, especially Cheng Tianfeng.
