Film and Television: Immortality Begins in the Kingdom of Qing

It's the same set I prepared for myself five years ago. How about we have a go?

As he spoke, Li Chengxian picked up the book again, feeling that he had just taken another step closer to immortality.

I didn't see the character panel. Does it show "transformation in progress"? I might be about to transcend the mortal realm. Time waits for no one.

Emperor Qing snorted coldly.

"Don't you even have the audacity to show some respect for an old man like me who's over fifty? Just say it directly: I want to know your cultivation method."

Li Chengxian's lips curled up slightly, knowing that this old man had come in with ill intentions.

The problem is that the exclusive techniques that come with your own system don't have any secret manuals.

"Ah."

Li Chengxian casually handed over the book in his hand.

Emperor Qing took it, and then his body went numb.

"Chaotic Sword Technique? I'm referring to your martial arts."

"That's right. My technique is very simple. It draws on the strengths of many schools and integrates all kinds of martial arts into one. There is no cultivation method. It all depends on one's own comprehension."

With that, he snatched it away and continued reading.

"You're not lying to me?"

Do you think my temper would joke with you?

"This……"

Emperor Qing looked up at the hole that stretched to the horizon and felt the sword energy emanating from it.

"Supreme killing, yet it is not like that, yet it is like a great river flowing endlessly..."

Emperor Qing muttered to himself, then burst into laughter.

"Haha, hahaha..."

"I never expected this, I never expected this, the moon in the well, the flower in my dream."

The true self is right before our eyes, yet we remain unaware of it. We are truly like frogs in a well, birds in a cage.

Then, Emperor Qing looked dejected, as if he had been severely shocked.

Who knew?

Li Chengxian said calmly:

"Stop testing Old Deng. What I'm talking about is indeed one's own cultivation method. Don't use your own understanding to measure other people's talents."

Emperor Qing, however, pointed at Li Chengxian and began to berate her.

"Could you please not expose me? I've finally managed to get a bit of inspiration, and I'm not one of those self-important people who can understand this."

"But if you want me to shield you from all worldly troubles, won't you have to bribe me?"

"Tell me what you want."

"I want you to inherit the throne of Emperor Qing and ensure that the Li imperial family's dynasty lasts for ten thousand generations and is eternal!"

"I can issue an edict to abdicate immediately; this is not an empty promise."

Li Chengxian didn't look up, but pointed his left hand at the gate of Yuntian Palace.

"See that? Go outside and walk straight."

With a smack of his lips, Emperor Qing pursed his lips, a look of regret on his face.

"What a tragedy! Who in this world could possibly know that there are people who would not be tempted by the throne that is within their grasp?"

"Are you out of touch with Dapu? Don't you think there's something wrong with you?"

Emperor Qing was extremely conflicted.

"Are you looking for a beating?"

Li Chengxian glanced at him, looking at Emperor Qing with a speechless expression.

After thinking for a moment, he started spewing nonsense.

"Is it a sign of illness to have no interest in the throne?"

When you have power and wealth at your fingertips, you have better options.

When you know perfectly well that going to bed with someone won't bring you any benefits, and you'll just be exhausted like a shovel.

Do you think a normal person would choose that?

Are they taking advantage of my weakness, thinking I can't get what I want?

Is it a responsibility of being a member of the Li royal family?

I'm sorry, I, Li Chengxian, have never claimed to be a good person. I choose to abandon my personal integrity and enjoy a life of immorality.

"Your Li Dynasty is destroyed, what does that have to do with me, Li Chengxian? Was that my dynasty all to myself?!"

Emperor Qing rubbed his forehead and extended a finger.

"This is exactly what I've been waiting for. Choose one of the four princes, even the eldest prince."

"What if I don't choose any of them, but instead choose a princess?"

"also!"

"Forget it, I'm not that powerful. Besides, don't you know the character of your sons?"

I'd better not kill Li Chengmin, the eldest brother. You know that the bloodline of the Eastern Yi is lowly. I'm afraid I might not be able to resist killing them all.

The second son, Li Chengze, always keeps his head down, looking like a ghost, all delusional and misguided. He might end up turning the Qingyin Dynasty into a mess.

Third brother Li Chengqian, do you think a guy who lies around with women all day can quit? I can't even quit, okay?

The fourth brother, Li Chengping, has a really nice name, but it's not as good as the first three.

And you're wrong. There's actually a third son, your illegitimate child. The problem is, I'm sure if you dare to choose him, the ancestral tablets of the Li family would be blown up.

How to choose?

.........

Li Chengxian was also helpless. The safest option was to choose the fourth son, but the problem was whether a historically significant empress would rule as emperor.

Or perhaps a Southern Qing Wu Zetian will emerge?

For the Li imperial family, this was tantamount to knowing the answer yet still bringing shame upon themselves.

Li Chengxian had already analyzed Emperor Qing and the Qing Kingdom, which were very similar to the Tang Dynasty of his previous life.

The problem is, if Emperor Qing is simply following in the footsteps of Emperor Taizong (Li Shimin), then what's truly frightening is his son, Emperor Gaozong (Li Zhi).

If it weren't for the existence of Prince Jing, Li Zhi, who was Emperor Qing's younger brother, Li Chengxian would have been ready to shout: "Emperor Qing is a great emperor of all time, who has made unparalleled achievements."

Unfortunately, Li Chengxian secretly peeked at Princess Jing and found that she was indeed surnamed Wu, and not particularly beautiful. She was just an ordinary princess consort, not a beauty of great beauty.

Moreover, judging from the current situation, Li Zhi is not young anymore, and his martial arts skills are mediocre. At this age, he is already strong enough, let alone succeeding his brother. He will definitely pass away before Emperor Qing.

.........

Emperor Qing laughed in anger.

"Look at what you're saying! Are you even speaking human language?"

My prince, just like that…

Just as Emperor Qing was about to retort, he realized that it really was reality.

He was stunned for a moment, then fell silent.

"How about I try again?"

Looking at the old man's expression, Li Chengxian found it inexplicably funny. Moreover, when he thought of the nameless infant prince in his memory, he realized that the old man's actions, which were like a burst of youthful exuberance, were indeed impressive.

"That's your problem. I can't exactly go and do the work for you, bro!"

"No need, but I've decided to send a prince to stay by your side for now. Oh well, what a terrible thing."

"As long as you're happy, I'm just missing a lazy bum who's all talk and no action."

"It's decided then, so be it! You are as wise as I am!"

"Alright, when you take concubines, let me choose one. Keep the ones I don't like for you. You know I have high standards, so it's usually hard for me to find one."

"Are you even human? Deal!"

Emperor Qing turned around, full of vigor and high spirits, head held high and chest out.

What I want is quantity, not quality.

Li Chengxian watched the old man's retreating figure, a slight smile playing on his lips. This exchange...

Victory.

One more salted fish, but one more path.

The cost of selecting concubines was really too high; now that we can get them for free, that's great.

You feel like you've gained something, but I never lose anything.

After quickly flipping through the books in his hands, Li Chengxian felt that he was mastering these techniques and martial arts skills much faster, which was a good thing.

then.

He stood up, looked at Yue'er beside him, and smiled:

"Let's go see how my little beauty is doing."

As soon as Li Chengxian entered Baiyujing, he heard bursts of light laughter.

I turned my head to look.

What a magnificent painting of the Northern Qi princess battling the daughter of the Southern Qing prime minister!

wrong.

What a beautiful picture of two beauties playing in the water.
