The eunuch in the cold palace: You get the Nine Yang Divine Skill right from the start!

"Mandarin Duck Five Delicacies Sliced ​​Meat, Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, Fruitwood Roasted Goose... It's always the same old dishes. Aren't there any new and exciting dishes?"

The owner of the ghost market stood with his hands on his hips, his tone full of displeasure.

opposite.

The masked imperial chefs looked at each other, not daring to utter a single word in rebuttal, their thoughts surprisingly unanimous.

This mistress is good in every way. She is tolerant and kind to her servants and generous with rewards. The only thing she is particularly picky about is food. She has already tasted all the delicacies in the palace.

Want her to eat to her satisfaction?

It's as difficult as climbing to heaven!

The owner of the ghost market sighed softly and waved his hand, saying, "It's not entirely your fault; I just haven't had the chance to taste anything."

"That is not true. I have a delicious dish to offer to you, sir."

Shen Mo approached, maintaining a distance of two body lengths, and bowed in greeting.

"It's you? What delicacies have you prepared?"

The owner of the ghost market frowned, recognizing the impetuous fellow.

This person was quite cautious, even carefully controlling the tone of his voice when he spoke.

"A red-hot stove sits atop a bronze cauldron, clear spring water boils the fresh, fragrant broth; the dish I present is called—Hot Pot!"

Then, Shen Mo explained how to make hot pot.

Such cooking techniques are unheard of!

The imperial chefs were amazed after hearing this, and the owner of the ghost market looked on with longing, her mouth watering uncontrollably. She quickly wiped it away and ordered, "Quick! Prepare it according to his method."

Shen Mo smiled slightly and said, "It's still early. If we wait until winter... wouldn't it be wonderful for you to set up a hot pot with a few close friends, enjoying mutton and yellow wine while snow falls heavily outside and the house is warm and cozy?"

The owner of the ghost market closed his eyes, imagining that scene.

In a word, elegant!

The owner of the ghost market scrutinized Shen Mo carefully before speaking, "Tell me, what reward do you desire?"

"I do not seek any reward, but only wish to make amends for my mistake. I will be content as long as you enjoy your meal."

Shen Mo bowed with his hands clasped in greeting, then turned and headed to another area.

The owner of the ghost market stood there, a smile playing on his lips: "This person is quite interesting!"

Shen Mo arrived at a certain stall.

After selecting and bargaining, they spent over three hundred taels of silver to purchase three identical gold and jade hairpins, one for each of the three women.

Then the focus shifted to the stalls selling martial arts techniques and manuals.

Unfortunately, most of them are basic martial arts techniques commonly found in works like "Boy's Kung Fu" and "Jade Maiden Kung Fu".

Shen Mo was slightly disappointed. He wanted to learn a physical body protection technique similar to "Iron Shirt" or "Golden Bell Cover" to make up for his shortcomings in defense against attacks, but he asked around several times without success.

At this moment, a man wearing a mask of an impermanent ghost stepped forward and handed over a book: "I heard that you are looking for a body-refining technique. What do you think of this one?"

Shen Mo stared intently.

Dragon Elephant Suppressing Prison Power

Just by looking at its name, you can tell it's something special!

How to sell it?

Shen Mo immediately asked the price, determined to win the deal even if it meant going bankrupt.

The impermanent ghost-faced man said calmly, "One tael of silver."

"One ounce?"

Shen Mo was stunned for a moment.

The impermanent ghost gestured with its eyes, and following its gaze, it saw the Ghost Market Master standing in the distance and nodded to him.

Shen Mo hesitated for a moment, then said, "My original intention was to make a good connection and I did not seek any reward, but this merit is of great use to me and I cannot part with it. Please thank the Ghost Market Master for me."

Having said that, he took out some silver and bought it.

After bowing in thanks from afar, he left the ghost market.

The Impermanent Ghost Face returned to the Ghost Market Master's side and relayed Shen Mo's words. The Ghost Market Master smiled faintly after hearing them: "He is indeed a man of loyalty and righteousness. That's good. If he didn't accept me, I would feel indebted."

"Master, isn't this too precious? This skill is usually not passed on to outsiders..."

The Ghost Market Owner's eyes grew cold: "This is my business. Besides, what I'm giving away is only the first two levels of Body Refinement Realm cultivation."

"It was my fault for being so talkative."

The owner of the ghost market gazed into the distance, lost in thought.

......

It was late at night.

Shen Mo scaled the wall and silently returned to the Cold Palace, courtyard number twenty-nine.

After he entered the house, Li Zhaoxue was startled by the sudden appearance of the masked man, and Shen Mo quickly removed the mask:

"It's me!"

Li Zhaoxue patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief: "I thought the Empress had sent assassins to kill me."

"Don't worry, it's not possible for now." Shen Mo shook his head and said to her, "You can sleep peacefully. I'll cultivate until dawn and then leave."

Li Zhaoxue nodded; she was gradually getting used to it.

Before, I couldn't sleep well when there was someone else in the house, but now that Shen Mo is here, I can sleep soundly through the night.

Shen Mo took out the cultivation manual, flipped through it, and information automatically appeared before his eyes.

【Dragon Elephant Suppressing Prison Technique: Beginner (1/50)】

The next moment, I felt the speed of blood circulation in my body increase, my muscles seemed to become fuller, and even my strength increased slightly.

Such gains from just getting started!

Shen Mo was filled with excitement; this technique was perhaps even more extraordinary than he had imagined.

Unfortunately, it currently only covers the cultivation of the Body Refinement Realm. If there is an opportunity in the future, I must find the subsequent cultivation methods.

Shen Mo shook his head, no longer thinking about it, and sat down to cultivate this skill.

Dawn breaks.

He realized that this technique could seemingly reverse the flow of qi and blood, concealing one's cultivation level.

The standard for evaluating body refinement is Qi and blood; the deeper the Qi and blood, the higher the realm!

That being the case.

With a slight thought, Shen Mo reversed his cultivation technique, and the next moment his aura weakened considerably, and he even appeared visibly haggard.

"good!"

After looking in the mirror, he nodded in satisfaction, gently kissed Li Zhaoxue's forehead, and placed a hairpin by her pillow before leaving.

In front of the gate of the Cold Palace.

Shen Mo slowly walked out of the palace and said to the eunuchs on duty, "Thank you for your hard work, gentlemen!"

"It's not hard work for me, it's Eunuch Shen who's really working hard!"

"Yes, it seems that Eunuch Shen is overworked. Please take care of your health!"

After they finished speaking, they smiled at each other.

Shen Mo rubbed his lower back and shook his head, saying, "I've been feeling a bit weak lately, sigh... never mind."

When they returned to their quarters, the eunuchs in the large communal room were already up and working.

Shen Mo found Yang Fugui sweeping the floor and asked in a low voice, "Uncle Yang, have you ever heard of the Dragon Elephant Suppressing Prison Force?"

"Dragon Elephant Suppressing Prison Technique? That's one of the world's three most supreme body-refining secret techniques!"

Yang Fugui's expression changed, and he also lowered his voice:

"This skill is firmly controlled by our Great Qian Imperial Family. Only close relatives of the Imperial Family or those who have made significant contributions to the Imperial Family are allowed to cultivate it."

The greatest benefit of this technique is that it can make the blood and qi of a Body Refinement Realm martial artist more solid and refined. If one can cultivate the first two levels of this technique to perfection during the Body Refinement Realm, one will be able to surpass others when reaching the Blood Transformation Realm!

"Something's wrong with your blood and energy...."

Yang Fugui then noticed that Shen Mo's qi and blood had regressed to the third level of Body Refinement, and suddenly realized, "You obtained the Dragon Elephant Suppressing Prison Technique? You reversed the technique to disguise yourself?"

"Uncle Yang has keen insight."

Shen Mo readily admitted it.

In front of Yang Fugui, apart from the system, his secret affairs with the concubines, and the three major events of repairing his incomplete body, there was nothing else to hide.

Moreover, the other party has already figured it out.

"Something terrible has happened! Qin Lu is dead!"

Someone shouted something, and the once quiet courtyard instantly became noisy.

Soon, Qin Lu's body was carried into the courtyard.
