Su Chen knew a little about the trial assessment on the East China Sea Immortal Island.

The Baiyun Dao people mentioned it back then.

Because the number of places that can enter the teleportation array is limited, the most talented and powerful candidates must be selected as much as possible for each trial.

As for what the content of the trial was, the Baiyun Dao people did not elaborate.

Su Chen then asked.

Hearing this, Han Zongyuan shook his head: "The content of the trial is different every year, of course, the essence remains the same, and it comprehensively tests the mind and strength. As long as you can pass the assessment and reach the top ten, you can get the qualification to enter the teleportation array, worship the immortal gate, and go to the Middle-earth Immortal Cultivation World......"

When he said this, Han Zongyuan's eyes couldn't help but show a look of longing.

The legendary Middle-earth world is full of spiritual energy, even in the mortal world, it is better than the current cave heaven blessed land, as long as they go there, their strength will definitely have a huge improvement, maybe they can successfully build a foundation in their lifetime, and thus prolong their life for hundreds of years.

"Middle-earth, do you know what it's like over there?"

Su Chen asked curiously.

Han Zongyuan smiled bitterly when he heard this: "I haven't been to Middle-earth either, so how can I know what it's like there." However, I have seen a few monks from Middle Earth in Xiandao before, all of them are magnificent, with strong and pure mana, and many treasures on their bodies, even if they are people of the same realm, they can crush loose cultivators like us. Hey, I can only say that our fate is not good, if we were born in Middle-earth, with your and my talents, maybe we are about to build a foundation......"

He really wasn't bragging.

It is not easy to cultivate to this realm in the southwest where the aura is thin, if there is sufficient aura and resources from the beginning, the strength will definitely be stronger.

Of course.

There aren't so many ifs in this world.

Su Chen is also quite satisfied with his current strength, although his cultivation is a little slower, but his foundation is very strong, slow work and meticulous work, as long as he has enough time and patience, even if he goes to the immortal cultivation realm, he can still be proud of other so-called geniuses in the same realm.

The two then talked about some details.

Su Chen sighed as if unintentionally: "However, at your age and mine, although there are some cultivators, after all, we are old and don't have much potential, so I guess those immortal cultivation sects can't look down on them, right?" In this case, if you get the top ten, can you also pass the teleportation array? ”

"It's really difficult for a monk like us to be valued by the Immortal Cultivation Sect. But it doesn't matter, the rules for the trial assessment were set by the Penglai Immortal Sect a long time ago, in order to leave a glimmer of life for the future generations of monks in our southwest land. Therefore, as long as you can get the ranking, you can get the qualification to pass through the teleportation array, even if you are not valued by the Immortal Gate, you can go there to do a casual cultivation ......"

"I see."

Su Chen nodded, this was good news for him.

In the absence of a guide, he didn't want to rashly join any Immortal Sect, after all, there were too many things in the sect, and there were intrigues, and if he didn't pay attention to it, he might expose his secrets.

If you can do a casual practice, it will undoubtedly be much more comfortable.

Immediately, he asked again: "Although our southwest land is poor, it is still quite vast, and it is estimated that there will be many people participating by then." It's too hard to get into the top 10, but is there any other way to get through? I've heard Baiyun Daoyou mention it, it seems that there is some kind of immortal ascension order? ”

How to use the Immortal Ascension Order, this is what Su Chen is concerned about.

At this time, it was just right to ask, Han Zongyuan did not doubt it, and replied: "It is indeed said that there is an immortal promotion order, and the last time the immortal island was opened, someone used this thing." I heard that this order is rare, no matter who holds it, as long as they hold it, even if it is a mortal who has not cultivated, they can pass through the teleportation array without being restricted by anyone. ”

"So powerful? If we can get this Immortal Ascension Order, where do we have to desperately participate in any trials......"

"Hehe, that's what I said, but who doesn't want such a thing as the Immortal Ascension Order? But there is basically no such thing in the southwest, and the most recent news is that it appeared in the Southern Wind Thunder Valley and the ruins of the Sifang Sect more than thirty years ago, which caused a lot of people to scramble at that time, but then it disappeared......

Han Zongyuan sighed a little.

At that time, because he was still in retreat, he did not participate in the exploration of the Wind Thunder Valley, otherwise he might have a chance to meet the legendary immortal ascension order.

It's just that he probably never dreamed of it.

The Immortal Ascension Order, which had caused a bloody rain, was now lying in Su Chen's Golden Tripod space.

"It seems that the value of this Immortal Ascension Order is even greater than I imagined, but it is also being stared at by too many people. If you use this thing, it basically means exposure, and that Blue Blood Dao person will definitely chase after it then, it's too dangerous. ”

Su Chen shook his head.

He originally thought that even if he couldn't use it, he could trade it for some good treasures.

But now he has changed his mind.

There is no immortal promotion order, which is equivalent to saying that all the dominance is in the hands of others, and whether or not it can pass through the teleportation array depends on the faces of the major immortal gates.

Ranking this thing, who can say it well.

Only by holding the Immortal Ascension Order can you ensure that you can pass through the teleportation array 100% and do not need to be controlled by others.

But this premise is that the problem of the Blue Blood Dao people must be solved first.

"People who have come from the Middle Earth Immortal Cultivation Realm, their cultivation is definitely not low, and with my current strength, it is estimated that they will not be able to deal with it. Forget it, anyway, this time the fairy island is opened, I don't plan to try it myself, let my subordinates explore the path first, and when everything is arranged, it's not too late to think about it. ”

Su Chen was very patient.

This kind of uncertain thing, then put it first, anyway, time is on your side.

What if that Blue Blood Dao person was a powerhouse in the Foundation Building Realm?

It's a big deal to wait a few hundred years.

Survived him, and when no one knew the origin of this immortal ascension order, it would be okay to use it again.

In the next few days, Han Zongyuan stayed in the cave mansion as a guest under Su Chen's warm invitation.

The two of them talked a lot about everything they had seen and heard in the process of cultivation, and exchanged their cultivation experiences with each other.

It's kind of familiar.

Three days later, Han Zongyuan left to say goodbye, saying that he would go to Dongping to deal with some future arrangements.

It seems that this Han Zongyuan, in Dongping Jinguo, is also a behind-the-scenes veteran who is in charge of the situation.

Before leaving, he invited Su Chen to go to the East China Sea to participate in the fairy island event.

Su Chen agreed to come down.

said that he would also have to retreat and prepare for a while, anyway, there was still a period of time before the opening of the fairy island, and then they would directly meet in the East China Sea.

After Han Zongyuan left, Su Chen also packed up and prepared to leave for the imperial capital.

Thirty years, for ordinary people, almost half a lifetime has passed, ups and downs, and vicissitudes of life.

I don't know what the situation will be like in the imperial capital now?

……

Great Chu, the imperial capital.

Thirty years have not seen, the original majestic and majestic city wall, has already had mottled traces, but the state of Chu is now rich and strong, and in addition to the old city, the scale of the capital has been newly expanded.

From a distance, the majesty is better than in the past.

Today's imperial capital city tower is high, and it is already the largest mundane city in the southwest.

Every year, there will be countless merchants and tourists, who come here to admire the scenery of the imperial capital, as well as merchants and envoys from foreign countries, who often come and go to worship the majesty of the heavenly kingdom.

Da Chu, who has been in peace for nearly 50 years, has accumulated wealth in the world, and the country is strong and strong.

Su Chen has walked all the way, seeing that every family is not closed, the road is not left behind, and the people are rich and happy.

It is indeed a prosperous scene that is rare to see in a thousand years.

And today's era name has long been changed to "Yongchang", symbolizing the eternal prosperity of Great Chu.

……

"Ouch, this son, you can be regarded as the right place, our Tsing Yi Building is the biggest and best Fengyue place in the imperial capital. Our girl here is beautiful and well-behaved, and she is guaranteed to make you happy and comfortable...... Hurry up, please ...... inside."

Under the warm reception of the welcome servant, Su Chen stepped into the building.

Today's Tsing Yi Building has long been expanded and renovated, and several surrounding pavilions have been merged, so the scale has increased several times.

Almost all the Qinglou Kabuki in the imperial capital have some ability, and now they are proud to be able to enter the Qingyi Building.

Of course, the consumption here is not cheap.

Even if it is to sit in the living room, drink tea, listen to music and watch dancing, it costs a few taels of silver, and ordinary people can't afford it.

Su Chen dressed up as a young man in brocade clothes at this time, took out a silver ingot casually, and let the little guy retreat.

He held his glass and looked at everything strange and familiar around him, the familiar faces of the past, but now they were long gone.

Over the years, he has occasionally passed back some news through Tsing Yi Lou's channels in Qingzhou, so the situation here is quite a general understanding.

Peach has long since passed away, even the green willow he saw before also died three years ago, and now the shopkeeper of Tsing Yi Building is a woman called "Rouge", who is in her thirties, plump and enchanting, and looks quite amorous.

Su Chen didn't feel too sad.

Having lived so long, he sent away many people, and many more will be sent away in the future.

After drinking the wine in the cup, Su Chen got up and came to the roof of Tsing Yi Building, the secret room was still preserved, and the furnishings were still the same.

He shook the bell, and in a short time, the shopkeeper Rouge pushed the door and walked in.

She had never met the landlord, but she knew that there was such a mysterious being, secretly in control.

At this time, Su Chen had already changed into a signature green coat, and his long green hair had turned gray.

Seeing Rouge coming in, he didn't talk nonsense, took out the token, identified himself, and then asked her to hand over the sorted out information booklet.

During his absence, a lot of things happened in the imperial capital.

In the thirty-first year of Yuanguang, Gu Yinghua, who was the general of Zhenguo at the time, was proud of his merits, and was accused of rebellion by the Qingliu party, and was immediately imprisoned and his home was raided, but because His Majesty remembered his past merits, he pardoned the death penalty, and allowed him to retire for the elderly.

In the fourth year of Yongchang, the third son of Emperor Jin died unexpectedly, which triggered a fierce palace turmoil, and his personal follower Jiang Yan shot and killed the second prince, the seventh prince, the fourteenth prince, and his mother and concubine overnight, shocking the world.

Emperor Houjin came in person, drank back the Praetorian Guards and a group of internal masters, and confronted Jiangyan Qianning Palace and spent the night alone.

The next day, Jiang Yan committed suicide.

This incident once caused a lot of discussion inside and outside the imperial city, shocking the government and the opposition, but Emperor Jin dealt with the matter in a very low-key manner afterwards, and it was strictly forbidden for anyone to mention it again.

Eighteen years of Yongchang.

Emperor Jin was seriously ill in old age, and the then forty-two-year-old crown prince Chu Yuanji joined forces with the Chinese military to try to force the palace to seize power, saying that "there is no prince in the world for thirty years"?

But the next day, Emperor Jin's condition suddenly improved miraculously, and he was as energetic as a prime of life, and immediately used thunderous means to suppress the rebellion.

The crown prince was deposed, and all the henchmen were eliminated.

……

Seeing this, Su Chen silently put down the news booklet in his hand.

I didn't expect so many things to happen in the past 30 years.

Gu Yinghua finally shook the master because of his high merits, but he retreated and saved his life.

Pity that Jiang Yan, but I didn't expect it to end up like this.

The matter between her and Emperor Jin, Su Chen actually knew for a long time that the third prince was also born to her in her early years, and secretly passed on to Concubine Lan, who was not favored at the time.

But who would have thought that the unexpected death of the third prince might be related to the internal struggle of the royal family, and Jiang Yan killed in order to avenge his son.

In the end, Emperor Jin died four sons and four women, which should have been a big blow to him.

Calculating the time, Emperor Jin is also sixty-five this year.

Almost antiquity.

This is an advanced age for mortals, and the emperor works day and night in government affairs, and he has to pamper the harem, and his lifespan is generally shorter than that of normal people.

Emperor Jin is because he has worn the talisman jade pendant given by Chu Xiong since he was a child to avoid injuries and illnesses, coupled with the elixir that Su Chen has been giving him all these years to strengthen his body, so that he can live to be more than sixty years old without illness and disaster.

But this should also be the limit.

Emperor Jin was seriously ill last time, and he suddenly recovered, I am afraid that he took the life-sustaining pill he left for him.

This kind of life-sustaining pill, Su Chen borrowed the Aoki Danshu to improve it thirty years ago, and the erysipelas in it were expelled from it, and there will not be too many sequelae after taking it.

But you can only eat up to ten.

In other words, Emperor Jin now has only ten years left to live at most.

"I am about to leave for the East China Sea Immortal Island, although I don't plan to leave immediately this time, but I won't return to the imperial capital unless there are special circumstances. After all, in the eyes of others, the head of Kwai Yuan, 'Su Chen', had long since died. Before leaving, let's go see him. ”

For Su Chen, Emperor Jin is half of his nephew, and he almost watched him grow up with his own eyes.

I haven't seen him for thirty years, and I'm still a little worried.

In addition, Su Chen also had to take into account the issue of the direction of the national fortunes of Chu after the death of Emperor Jin, and while he still had time, he needed to explain to Emperor Jin to make the following arrangements, so that the inheritance of imperial power could be carried out smoothly.

With the current national strength of Great Chu, as long as the next emperor is not too stupid, there is still no problem in keeping it.

While thinking, Su Chen stood up.

Turning his head and glancing at Rouge, he said, "Zhang Rong of the City Guard Army should also be about to retreat, right?" If Tsing Yi Lou wants to continue to gain a foothold in the imperial capital, it needs a more stable backer. This seat will be closed for a period of time, and next time someone will come over with a token, he will be the next owner of Tsing Yi. ”

He is about to leave the imperial capital, and Tsing Yi Lou does not have much role and significance for him, so he has the right to use it as the last gift and give it to Emperor Jin.

Tsing Yi Lou's intelligence and ability to absorb gold should provide a lot of convenience to the royal family, and Tsing Yi Lou also needs to have a new backer backstage to ensure that they can continue to survive after Su Chen leaves.

Royalty, undoubtedly the best choice.
