Starting with being handed over to the Imperial Concubine, building a family with a thousand-year hi

"No rush!"

Lin Zhengying quickly thought, "Although I wasn't injured in the battle just now, I expended a lot of energy and am really not fit to continue fighting!"

"Su Mu was able to easily kill a peak Grandmaster, and then kill a Grandmaster at the Heaven-Worshiping Ceremony. His martial arts cultivation must be higher than his!"

"Even against the weakest opponent, I must give it my all so I won't lose!"

"Furthermore, now that we're siding with the royal family, we can't act recklessly in the palace. We have to consider the Emperor's and the Xiao royal family's reputation. Before taking any action, we must inform the Emperor!"

Lin Wen had no objections.

As the empress of the Xiao royal family, she could not only care about her own family, nor could she ignore her husband and future in-laws!

……

Library.

On the second floor, in a simple room, Su Mu was sitting cross-legged on a stone couch, with a jade box in front of him.

The jade box was opened, and inside was a dragon blood fruit.

"Should I eat this Dragon Blood Fruit immediately, or just kill Lin Zhengying?"

Su Mu hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

It would take a long time to consume this Dragon Blood Fruit, and during that time, Lin Zhengying would most likely have already left the palace and returned to the Tianwu Sect.

Su Mu really doesn't dare to go to the Heavenly Martial Sect!

however--

Once Su Mu has fully absorbed the power of the Dragon Blood Fruit, his strength will be greatly enhanced, making it much easier to deal with Lin Zhengying!

Su Mu is confident in his current combat strength, but he is not absolutely confident that he can kill Lin Zhengying!

If the two of them really start fighting, they could very well fight to the death, so we absolutely cannot let our guard down!

We must be fully prepared!

"Many people saw Lin Zhengying attack the Liuyin puppet!"

"He could have guessed that the Silver Puppet was made by me, but he would never have imagined that I would personally deal with him!"

"Putting myself in his shoes, I don't think he'll let this go easily. He definitely won't let me grow, because our relationship has completely fallen apart!"

"He's probably after me, it won't be long!"

"If I don't finish this Dragon Blood Fruit, and Lin Zhengying suddenly appears tomorrow morning, given my current condition, the only way to deal with him is to activate the 'Four Symbols Sword Formation'!"

After careful consideration, Su Mu decided not to stay in the palace any longer.

He stood up and walked outside without making a sound.

In a secluded spot, Su Mu personally dug a cave and sealed the entrance.

Taking a deep breath, Su Mu took out a Dragon Essence Pill and swallowed it!

This high-grade Xuan-level elixir will not only greatly enhance his physical strength, but also greatly amplify the innate true fire within his body!

One Dragon Essence Pill might not be enough, but Su Mu had enough!

As the medicinal power of the Dragon Essence Pill exploded in his body, Su Mu immediately took out the Dragon Blood Fruit from the box.

In just a few bites, Su Mu devoured the golden dragon blood fruit, which was the size of a child's palm, in one go!

Su Mu certainly wouldn't miss the core of this Dragon Blood Fruit. He took it in his hand and began to absorb the metal elemental power within it!

Before long, Su Mu transformed into a golden figure once again!

His body shimmered with golden light!

His internal organs, his blood, and his bones were all emitting a bright golden light!

My whole body was in excruciating pain, like being pricked by needles or burned by fire; that pain was back!

Su Mu gritted his teeth and struggled to hold on.

The innate fire emanated from his dantian, enveloping his body and causing his primordial energy to flow rapidly within him. With the help of the Dragon Essence Pill, Su Mu was enduring immense pain while simultaneously absorbing the vast power contained within the Dragon Blood Fruit!

Su Mu could clearly feel that his body was about to undergo another change, and that it was continuously strengthening!

The last evolution was not fully completed. It was a Dragon Blood Fruit, which did not contain enough power or level. But this time it is different!

Therefore, Su Chen was filled with hope amidst both pain and joy!

Last time, it took Su Mu an entire night to completely refine the peculiar power within the core of a Dragon Blood Fruit, and then it took him three days for his body to finally change.

But this time, the situation is completely different.

Su Mu's body has undergone a round of modifications!

Unlike before, he now possesses not only greater imperial power, but has also ignited both the innate true fire and the Dragon Essence Pill!

With so many factors combined, Su Mu devoured all the power in the Dragon Blood Fruit and its pit by dawn!

However, Su Mu still radiated a golden light!

His body is still changing!

It could be said that the power of this fruit merely caused some changes in Su Mu's body.

After eating a Dragon Blood Fruit, Su Mu's body will undergo tremendous changes!

What level will it reach after evolution is complete?

Su Mu already had the answer in his heart.

Above the Grandmaster realm is the True Martial Realm!

To reach the True Martial Realm, one must shed the mortal body and become a true spiritual body!

According to the general path of cultivation, one must reach the late stage of the Grandmaster realm before using "True Fire" and "True Qi" to gradually cleanse the marrow and refine the body, completely transforming it.

Of course, there are also special methods that allow them to become spirits earlier.

For example, swallowing a specific medicine or some precious treasure!

Ordinary people don't have Su Mu's good luck. Even if they reach the Grandmaster level and obtain the Dragon Blood Fruit, they won't easily consume it.

Most of the spiritual medicines and treasures that can change the physical body are extremely powerful. Without a solid physical body and sufficient preparation, it is easy to fail or even lose one's life!

Su Mu's transformation is not yet complete, so it's impossible for him to be in this cave.

This morning.

After finishing breakfast, Xiao Anran went to Qianming Palace to meet Emperor Xiao Anxun.

She took the initiative to tell us about how she obtained the Void Ring and a large amount of cultivation materials.

No matter what, Xiao Anxun is her brother, and now he carries the weight of the Xiao royal family and the Great Qian Dynasty on his shoulders. She can't be so selfish.

She naturally had to tell her brother about this!

"The Xiao royal family is truly blessed! Thank God!"

Xiao Anxun became excited upon hearing his sister's words.

Without a Grandmaster, the Xiao royal family has weakened to the extreme!

If it weren't for the presence of a Grandmaster from the Heavenly Martial Sect, the entire palace would have been razed to the ground!

With the vast cultivation resources left by their ancestors, the Xiao royal family will likely produce a Grandmaster, or even more, before long!

"How do we divide it?"

Xiao Anran looked at Jiang Chen with some confusion.

"You should keep it. Give it to him if you want it!"

Xiao Anxun said, "Great-grandfather was right after all. This time, you have made a tremendous contribution to our royal family!"

If Xiao Anran hadn't gone to Wild Wolf Ridge last night, even someone in the royal family would have had a chance to obtain this spatial ring. But that person would never have leaked such a crucial secret!

Human selfishness should never be underestimated!

Xiao Anxun also had his own purpose. He didn't want to reveal his secret. He wanted his sister to give all the cultivation resources to her!

He only needs to say one word to get her what he wants!

That's enough!

"Your Majesty, the Emperor has issued a decree!"

Li Lianqing's voice came from outside.

"You may leave now and invite the Empress over!"

"Hmm!" He nodded.

Xiao Anran turned around, left the room, walked through a long corridor, and met Empress Su Wen.

After exchanging pleasantries, Xiao Anran came out of Qianming Hall, while Lin Wen quickly walked towards the room where Xiao Anxun was.

"Greetings, Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty, please don't stand on ceremony, please take a seat!"
