The world of Taoism

Chapter 170 Gift (ask for a monthly pass)

Zhou Xuan and his party found an inn to settle down, and they went to Chunjiang Prince's Mansion at dawn tomorrow.

The Yangzhou City seen along the way is very large, but it is not as prosperous as imagined.

Of course, there is no particularly busy place at this time, probably because of the night.

After all, there are no activities at night in this era, and there is a curfew in the middle of the night, and the real bustling time is during the day.

Early tomorrow morning, the sun will shine through the windows.

Zhou Xuan sat cross-legged on the bed.

Eyes closed slightly, with every breath, thunder and lightning essence poured into the limbs and bones, and then gathered in the lower palace of Huangting.

The stored lightning essence will not disappear with the passage of time.

As long as you don't use spells, generally speaking, the essence of lightning will not disappear.

However, Zhou Xuan usually dissipates the lightning essence in the morning, reabsorbs ten mouthfuls of lightning essence, and fills Huang Tingxia Palace.

Only in this way can we let go of the old and absorb the new, and exercise the upper limit of the body's energy capacity.

Zhou Xuan believed that with each practice, the absorbed energy would definitely increase slowly.

Zhou Xuan can now absorb ten mouthfuls of lightning essence, and if all these lightning essences are used up, a real thunderbolt can be released.

After release, there is no ability to release Leifa again, except at the cost of damage to the body's vitality.

Therefore, Zhou Xuan had to breathe out the lightning essence every day, and continuously expand the upper limit of energy.

Perhaps after cultivating to a certain level, the Huang Ting Zhong Gong can be developed, which is the part of the heart.

In this way, it is possible to accommodate more thunder and lightning essence.

Of course, everything must be done step by step, not greedy for success.

Moreover, the thunder and lightning essence can regulate one's body to a certain extent, making it less prone to diseases, and daily practice can also strengthen one's body.

After absorbing the last breath of lightning essence, a blue light flashed in Zhou Xuan's eyes, and then he stood up in the room, moving his muscles and bones a few times, and the bones made crackling sounds.

Zhou Xuan walked out the door and found that three guards had been waiting outside the door for a long time.

"Let's go." Zhou Xuan smiled, and then left without looking back.

This time, I didn't mean to follow suit.

The main purpose is to learn about the situation in this cultivation world, so as not to know anything.

Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win every battle, Zhou Xuan still understands this truth.

It was morning at this time, the street vendors had already set up their stalls, and there were already more pedestrians on the road.

The ones mentioned here are basically hawkers or businessmen who open stores, and some merchants from other places.

It is generally not allowed to open the city gates at night, except for special government officials, such as Zhou Xuan, no one is allowed to enter the city at night.

Therefore, some merchants sometimes live outside the city without enough time, and wait until dawn to open the city gate before entering.

The streets of Yangzhou City are clean and tidy, with bluestone paved roads.

The waste water and garbage discharged from life are specially treated by certain people, unlike other county towns where the streets are generally dirty and messy.

After a while, everyone came to a sparsely populated area.

The houses here are completely different from other places
All of them are single-family houses with tall facades, and some even have guards standing on both sides of the door, staring closely at the passers-by.

The deeper you go, the fewer houses there are, and the larger the occupied area, and soon everyone sees a magnificent building.

The red walls and yellow tiles have double dragons playing with pearls on them.

The vermilion gate and the thick copper nails on the mouth of the bowl give people a very grand and luxurious feeling.

This is the so-called Spring River Prince's Mansion. The decoration at the entrance is extremely gorgeous, and the facade alone costs a lot of money.

Ordinary people are not qualified to use some decorations. This is simply a taboo, and it may be a serious crime of beheading.

At this time, several carriages were parked in the Chunjiang Palace.

When Zhou Xuan walked to the gate, a housekeeper stopped everyone.

"May I ask you what's the matter?" the butler said.

The quality of the butler is quite high.

At least I won't look down on everyone because of their clothes and walking, and still ask politely.

Zhou Xuan took out the invitation card of King Chunjiang, and the butler looked at the invitation and said respectfully: "So it's Mr. Zhou, Mr. Zhou Xuan is here!"

The old butler gave a loud shout, and Zhou Xuan led people in.

Entering the inner hall, you can see a bunch of people already sitting in the inner hall.

A middle-aged man with a refined face sat on the seat.

This person is wearing a vermilion robe, an official hat inlaid with emeralds, a white jade fan in his hand, and three long beards fluttering.

Even though the corners of the eyes are wrinkled, they still look handsome.

Seeing Zhou Xuan, the middle-aged man's eyes lit up, and he said, "What a handsome and handsome Mr. Zhou! Haha!"

The middle-aged man is the legendary King of Spring River and the master of this river basin.

"Greetings to King Chunjiang!" Zhou Xuan bowed his hands.

As a result, there are not so many etiquettes, and there is no saying that the lower officials should kneel when they see the upper officials.

Some high-ranking officials don't even kneel to the emperor, and there are not as many red tapes as in the Qing Dynasty.

"You don't need to be too polite, please take your seat, Mr. Zhou!" King Chunjiang laughed.

"Thank you, my lord!" Zhou Xuan took out a wooden box from his bosom, and handed it to King Chunjiang, "It's a mere gift, I hope my lord will not be offended."

"How can..." King Chunjiang laughed, even if what Zhou Xuan sent was a straw, King Chunjiang would not say anything.

No matter how precious the presents were, they were nothing compared to King Chunjiang's assets.

"Huh? What's the smell?"

At this moment, King Chunjiang's nose twitched slightly.

King Chunjiang smelled a very good smell, but he couldn't tell what it was like.

Just taking a breath of the scent will give people a feeling of refreshment.

There are men and women sitting around, old and young, with graceful and luxurious demeanor, and some wretched.

Seeing King Chunjiang's appearance like this immediately aroused everyone's interest.

Only then did King Chunjiang discover that the source of the smell was Zhou Xuan's box.

"What is this?" King Chunjiang asked.

"My lord can open it and have a look." Zhou Xuan smiled mysteriously.

King Chunjiang suddenly became interested, opened the wooden box, and a golden light flashed away.

"This is..." King Chunjiang was slightly surprised.

The moment you open the wooden box
An inexplicable fragrance swept all directions, and the moment everyone smelled the smell, their eyes were all seduced.

One of them, a white-haired old man with a fairy air, cupped his hands and said: "My lord, what kind of fairy treasure is contained in this, how can it be so fragrant?"

Other people who didn't speak turned their eyes over.

They clearly felt that the fragrance had a refreshing effect.

The light smell is so strong, I don't know what it is.

Could it be the legendary fairy grass?
King Chunjiang smiled slightly, turned the box around, and showed it to everyone.

It turned out that there were two golden pills the size of pigeon eggs lying in the box.

The round pill exudes a metallic luster, like a ball made of gold.

But everyone can tell at a glance that this is not a decoration, but something that can be taken.

"It turned out to be a elixir!" A person who knew the goods could tell it at a glance, "And it's a golden stone elixir."

In the eyes of ordinary people, elixir may be a combination of several medicinal materials, and the main ingredients are generally ginseng, Polygonum multiflorum or something like that.

In fact, there is another kind of elixir.

Most of these elixirs have been lost, and these are the legendary golden stone elixirs.

This elixir is not mixed with any herbs.

Made entirely of heavy metals such as lead and mercury, they are highly toxic, and some elixirs are so poisonous that they can even poison a cow.

"My lord, these things must be taken carefully, so as not to fall into the tricks of some villains."

At this time, a strange voice came.

Zhou Xuan turned his head and saw a middle-aged man with white face and beardless.

This person's words were obviously aimed at him, but when Zhou Xuan saw Xuanli behind him, he immediately understood what was going on.

It turned out to be this thing, Xuanli didn't dare to retaliate against him, but it didn't mean he didn't trip him up.

It's just that Zhou Xuan didn't expect that there was someone behind Xuanli.

If the guess is correct, there should be an inseparable relationship between this man and Xuanli, otherwise he wouldn't trip him up.

"Hey!" King Chunjiang waved his hand, "Young Master Zhou is from my palace, how could he plot against me?"
