Chapter 421 Is Your Majesty afraid of being eaten by me?
After leaving the Imperial Preceptor's residence, Xiao Mo handed the body-tempering prescription for the Heaven-Opening Fist to Wei Xun and asked Wei Xun to get the medicine.

However, Xiao Mo added a few more ingredients to the prescription.

This is not because Xiao Mo doesn't trust Wei Xun.

However, the body-tempering formula for this Heaven-Opening Fist was truly extraordinary, and the imperial palace was filled with Yan Shan'ao's spies.

Xiao Mo was worried that he might reveal something.

Soon, Wei Xun returned with the medicinal herbs.

"The three of you may leave. I will handle this myself."

Xiao Mo spoke to the three palace maids beside him who were about to help him bathe.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The three palace maids bowed and left the room.

Xiao Mo placed all the medicinal herbs into the medicine barrel.

The room was filled with a rich aroma of medicine.

Lying in the medicinal bathtub, Xiao Mo silently circulated his spiritual energy according to the body tempering method, absorbing the essence of the medicinal herbs in the bathtub.

Xiao Mo could clearly feel the essence of these spiritual herbs being absorbed by him, and his skin, bones, and flesh were being tempered little by little.

After an incense stick had burned, Xiao Mo broke out in a sweat, the sweat mixed with viscous impurities expelled from his body.

Xiao Mo then rinsed himself clean in another tub of medicine and changed into a comfortable bathrobe.

"good."

Feeling the strength in his body, Xiao Mo was very satisfied.

Thanks to his innate talent for "martial arts physique," he absorbed all the medicinal liquid from these spiritual herbs, with almost no waste.

After leaving the imperial study, Xiao Mo returned to his bedchamber.

After sparring with Jiang Qingyi all day, Xiao Mo was extremely tired and quickly fell asleep.

Unbeknownst to Xiao Mo, a mosquito was secretly watching him from the shadows.

"buzzing"

Just as Xiao Mo fell asleep, the mosquito quietly flew towards him.

A mosquito landed on the back of Xiao Mo's hand, rubbed its legs a few times, and then suddenly pricked Xiao Mo's hand.

But the next moment, the mosquito froze.

No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't get my hand into the back of this human's hand.

As a mosquito, the horned mosquito felt insulted and quickly and forcefully stung Xiao Mo.

Half an incense stick has burned out.

Exhausted, the mosquito lay on the back of Xiao Mo's hand.

It looked as if its mind had exploded, staring blankly up at the ground, as if questioning the very existence of a mosquito.

"Wake up, everyone!"

The next morning.

The female official entered Si Li's room and shouted.

This displeased Si Li, who was used to a leisurely life, but she still forced herself to get out of bed and change her clothes.

"From this day forward, I will teach you palace etiquette and show you around the inner palace. You must learn diligently, observe carefully, and listen attentively, or you will lose your heads if you make a mistake in the future! Do you understand?"

The female official addressed Si Li and the other newly arrived women in the palace.

"Yes, sister." Everyone bowed respectfully.

The female official nodded: "Very good, you may all follow me."

Si Li and the others followed behind the female official, but she kept thinking about the matter of the Heavenly Horned Mosquito extracting blood.

I wonder if things will go smoothly for Tianjiao Mosquito.

Finally, the day was over.

As night deepened and everyone fell asleep, Si Li got out of bed and went to the Zhou Kingdom's royal palace once again.

Standing at the entrance of her bedchamber, Si Li summoned the Heavenly Horned Mosquito.

After being sensed.

The horned mosquito flew out of the room and landed in Si Li's palm.

"Where's the blood?" Si Li asked.

The mosquito shook its head, looking quite aggrieved, and then began to explain with a "buzzing" sound.

"You mean, you can't penetrate the body of the Zhou king?" Si Li asked in surprise.

"Buzz buzz buzz," the mosquito nodded hurriedly, then touched its numb mouth.

"."

Si Li was stunned for a moment. Although the Heavenly Horned Mosquito was only a low-level spirit beast.

But it is a spirit beast after all, how could it not even pierce the skin of an ordinary emperor?

"Never mind." Si Li waved her hand and took out a silver needle the size of a mosquito's leg.

"Take this and prick his skin, then draw blood for me, understand?" Si Li said sternly.

The horned mosquito nodded quickly, then flew inside, clutching the silver needle.

Not long after, the horned mosquitoes flew out.

This time, it finally obtained blood.

Si Li dripped the blood of the Zhou king onto a precious pearl.

The pearl glowed with a faint red light.

For several days in a row.

Si Li comes to collect blood every night.

The pearl in his hand grew even redder.

Si Li felt a little nervous.

In just two more days, I will be able to confirm whether this Zhou king is indeed the reincarnation of my master.

It was the sixth day since Xiao Mo had his blood drawn.

Ask the Way Altar.

Xiao Mo sat cross-legged on the ground, honing his sword intent.

He is making final preparations for his upcoming attempt to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage.

Jiang Qingyi stood beside Xiao Mo, both to protect him and prevent him from going astray, and to sense his sword intent and correct any mistakes he made.

A whole day has passed.

Xiao Mo's sword intent gradually subsided.

Finally, Xiao Mo took a deep breath and slowly opened his eyes.

"is acceptable."

Looking at Xiao Mo, Jiang Qingyi nodded.

"The methods of entering the Foundation Establishment Realm of the various schools of thought are very different. Now that you are mainly cultivating swordsmanship, you should use sword intent as the foundation to break through the realm."

A person's sword intent is like a sword blank. We need to hammer, temper, and sharpen the sword intent so that it can eventually become an incomparably sharp immortal weapon.

This process is ongoing throughout the entire practice, and it is crucial not to rush it.

I'd rather be slow than make a mistake.

Does Your Majesty understand?

"Thank you for your guidance, Fairy Jiang." Xiao Mo nodded.

"I wouldn't call it giving instructions." Jiang Qingyi turned her head. "Speaking of which, where does Your Majesty plan to establish your foundation? Don't tell me it's in this palace."

"Of course not."

Xiao Mo shook his head.

"I have already sent someone to select a remote place with relatively abundant spiritual energy. I will go there once I am fully prepared."

"Your Majesty would be best advised to establish your foundation in three months," Jiang Qingyi said earnestly.

"Three months later?" Xiao Mo didn't quite understand. "Foundation Establishment in three months? Is there any explanation for that?"

"There's no set rule, but if Your Majesty truly wishes to establish your foundation, then listen to me."

Jiang Qingyi said coldly.

"And will I accompany His Majesty to the Foundation Establishment stage? Or does His Majesty think I would harm you?"

Xiao Mo smiled and said, "If Fairy Jiang wanted to harm me, she would have done so long ago. Why would she wait until now? And why would she give me the Condensing Light Sword?"

"Good to know." Jiang Qingyi turned around, a very subtle smile seemingly curving her lips beneath her veil. "Let's go to His Majesty's palace."

"Is Fairy Jiang going to my palace?" Xiao Mo asked, puzzled.

"What? Is Your Majesty afraid of being eaten by me?"

Jiang Qingyi sneered.

"Or is Your Majesty worried that if word gets out that I visited your palace at night, it will cause misunderstandings between the two future imperial consorts?"

"Or perhaps it is said that..."

Jiang Qingyi turned around, took a step forward, and walked up to Xiao Mo, looking at him from below.

"His Majesty has long harbored feelings for me. Is His Majesty secretly delighted that I am going to His Majesty's palace?"
