People in the Qin Dynasty sought good fortune and avoided misfortune.

Chapter 65, Purple Maiden, invited by the Emperor, is attacked.

Looking at the two fortune sticks in his mind, Xu Qing's heart was filled with the four words "a first-class opportunity".

This was the first time Xu Qing had encountered a first-grade opportunity in all this time. Previously, second-grade opportunities were either miraculous techniques like the Evergreen Skill or important items like the relics of Liezi.

Neither the Evergreen Elixir nor the relics of Liezi can be measured in monetary terms; they are truly rare treasures.

And this was only a second-grade opportunity, which made Xu Qing dare not imagine what kind of treasure a first-grade opportunity would be.
After the initial shock of the extraordinary opportunity, Xu Qing had to carefully analyze the threats written on the two fortune slips.

He will encounter danger on the way to Zilan Pavilion, and will suffer a sudden disaster if he stays at home. This indicates that someone is watching him and is going to take advantage of the chaos today to attack him.

But who is targeting him? The Yin-Yang School? The Farmer School? Or someone else?

This made Xu Qing fall into deep thought.

Zi Nu looked at Xu Qing, who was deep in thought, and assumed that he was considering going to Zi Lan Xuan.

"If it is inconvenient for the Imperial Physician, I can hold a banquet in another place another day to thank you for your treatment."

Zi Nu maintained her smile, assuming that Xu Qing considered Zi Lan Xuan to be a place of pleasure and was unwilling to go there.

After all, Xu Qing is not only the Imperial Physician, but also the renowned Divine Physician of Xinzheng. His private visits to a place of pleasure like Zilan Pavilion would indeed damage his reputation.

“Miss Zi Nu misunderstands. I was just thinking about whether there were any matters to attend to. How could I refuse such an invitation from a beautiful lady? May I ask when I may attend the banquet?” Xu Qing asked.

He was bound to encounter a terrible disaster today, so rather than waiting to die at home, he might as well go to Zilan Pavilion.

It wasn't just because of that unprecedented opportunity. It was also because Zi Nu and Wei Zhuang were both in Zi Lan Xuan.

If you encounter danger on the way, as long as you try your best to escape towards Zilan Pavilion, you will have a chance to attract the two people to help you.

"It would be best if the Imperial Physician could come. Zilan Pavilion always opens at 7:00 PM, so you can come at 7:45 PM," Zi Nu said.

"I will certainly arrive as promised, and I would appreciate it if Miss Zi Nu would come out to greet me then."

"Then I will wait for the Imperial Physician at Zilan Pavilion."

The woman in purple wore deep purple high heels, her slender figure swaying gracefully as she walked, like a willow swaying in a gentle breeze, light and elegant, exuding a unique charm.

But Xu Qing had no time to appreciate the pleasing sight of the back view. He was pondering how to deal with the impending disaster, and at the same time, he was looking forward to what this unprecedented opportunity was.

"Imperial Physician."

The new patient brought Xu Qing back to his senses, and he resumed treating the patients.

From the shadows, Fei Yan surveyed the scene outside the Han King's Palace, watching Xu Qing busily working, a strange look flickering in her eyes.

"Weirdo, what is the secret you hold?"

Fei Yan looked down at Xu Qing, feeling very curious about this anomaly, and wanted to find out what caused the strange phenomenon in Xinzheng.

As the sun began to set, it was soon dusk, and Xu Qing's consultation time came to an end. With the imperial guards dispersing them, the reluctant commoners and martial arts talents gradually left.

Exhausted from a long day, Xu Qing slumped down under the tent to rest.

The three medical officers were so exhausted that they lay motionless on the table. They had accompanied Xu Qing on house calls before, but there were just too many people today, and all kinds of patients. By the end of the day, they were completely drained.

It took the guards and three physicians a quarter of an hour to pack everything up. Under the escort of the guards, Xu Qing returned safely to her home.

After locking the door, Xu Qing lit an oil lamp and sat solemnly at the table, which was covered with many medicine bottles in the Baiyue style.

These medicine bottles were incense bottles with various effects given to him by the Tide Demoness, which she instructed Xu Qing to use as a precaution.

"Bring all the hallucinogenic and poisonous incense." Xu Qing brought along several of the most potent incenses.

Although he had mastered the art of riding the wind, he was still not very proficient at it, and his skills in both engaging enemies and escaping were still lacking. Therefore, he had to make thorough preparations.

Xu Qing originally planned to refine some poisons, but he had to give up when he thought about his status as the Imperial Physician. If someone found out that he was refining poisons in private, Prince Han An would definitely not let him off the hook.

"Change the needles."

Xu Qing then placed the ordinary silver needles from his belt on his left side and the set of jade silver needles that Han Shen had given him on his right side. "There is still one hour until the second quarter of Xu hour. Adjust your breathing."

After making all the preparations, Xu Qing sat cross-legged and began to circulate the Evergreen Skill within his body.

After several days of cultivation, his Evergreen Skill has reached the third level, and his internal energy has undergone another slight change.

A wisp of purple energy lingered within his dantian, like swirling smoke, leisurely and carefree.

As the Evergreen Skill was activated, Xu Qing's internal energy began to circulate according to the Great Circulation, and the purple energy in his dantian also began to flow through his meridians.

As darkness fell, the sound of the night watchman's gong rang out.

Xu Qing suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze flashing like a sharp sword being drawn from its sheath.

"Whoo~"

After exhaling a breath of stale air, Xu Qing changed into casual clothes, picked up a lantern, and left home.

Xu Qing carried a lantern as he walked along the streets of Xinzheng, and from afar he could see the brightly lit Zilan Pavilion.

With the curfew approaching, the people had already gone home; the night belonged to the powerful and wealthy of Xinzheng, not ordinary citizens.

Walking on the quiet street, Xu Qing's expression was solemn, alert to the movements around him, with one hand on his waist, ready to take action at any moment.

Hidden in the shadows, Fei Yan stared directly at Xu Qing, who was walking alone in the street.

The Yin-Yang School instigated a melee among dozens of wandering knights in the South Ward, drawing away the birds and guards who were patrolling nearby.

She followed Xu Qing all the way and found that Xu Qing had no one protecting him. Obviously, the Moon Goddess's plan had succeeded and attracted the Mo family members away.

Seeing that everything was proceeding smoothly according to plan, Fei Yan's eyes narrowed, and she attacked Xu Qing with a single palm.

Seeing the black shadow suddenly appear, Xu Qing, who was prepared, instantly shot out a silver needle.

Feiyan looked at the incoming silver needles, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes, and twisted her body to dodge them.

Before Xu Qing could identify who it was, he dropped the lantern in his hand, his hands moving in a blur as he channeled his inner energy, unleashing a dozen silver needles that shot out instantly.

These silver needles, though not very forceful, were all aimed at Fei Yan's most fatal acupoints.

"The physician's flower-rain silver needle".

Fei Yan looked at the dozen or so silver needles shooting towards her and immediately recognized the origin of the needle technique, her face full of surprise.

She had thought Xu Qing was just an ordinary imperial physician, but she hadn't expected him to be so well hidden. She realized that it might take some effort for her to take Xu Qing away this time.

Fei Yan formed hand seals, and dark golden internal energy swirled around her body, bursting out and scattering in the next instant.

The powerful internal force swept outwards, deflecting all the incoming silver needles.

Xu Qing looked on in shock at the scene, realizing that the other party was someone she was completely unable to handle.

"escape!"

Xu Qing circulated his internal energy, gathering it in his legs. His Feng acupoints opened, and a gust of wind appeared beneath his feet.

Riding the strong wind, Xu Qing leaped up, using the wall beside him to glide over the crimson smoke, and headed towards the Purple Orchid Pavilion.

At the same time, he kept throwing silver needles at Feiyan with both hands, and once again used the Flower Rain Silver Needle technique.

Fei Yan looked at Xu Qing, who was trying to escape, with a cold gaze. She formed a hand seal and condensed dark golden internal energy into several palm prints, which were then thrown towards Xu Qing.

"Yin-Yang Harmony Mudra".

As Xu Qing fled for his life, the hairs on the back of his neck stood on end, and a strong sense of crisis surged within him. Looking back, he saw several powerful palm prints heading towards him.
