With the third emperor of Great Xia taking power, the news of his accession to the throne immediately spread from the capital and spread to all directions.

Everyone in the world is amazed, the empress is in power, and no one knows it, but it must be unprecedented.

Nanyu Mansion, cold wind and Xiaosu.

Compared to the heavy snow in the north, it is more severe here, and the only way to heat is to burn a coal stove.

The New Year is approaching, and both monks and ordinary people return to their hometowns to accompany their families and relatives.

Monks naturally have families, and they are extremely old, and monks who are alone are a minority after all.

Most of them are still young sect disciples.

The sect is also considered humane, and on the New Year's Day, the disciples of the sect can go down the mountain to see their parents and family.

In a pavilion of the Celestial Objects Guild Branch, the fragrance of medicine overflowed.

"That's right, that's it, control the heat."

A sloppy old man's eyes opened slightly, and he said in a leisurely tone: "The innate true fire is the Dao fire condensed in the body of the foundation building monk, which can be used for alchemy and refining tools, you must not underestimate it, it is rumored that the innate true fire is cultivated to the extreme, and it can be used as a spell to ward off the enemy. ”

"Of course, don't be impatient right now, it's already extremely difficult to refine the Dan well."

Zhao Huai closed his eyes, sweated on his forehead, made a mark on his fingers, and gathered his spiritual power to face the alchemy furnace beating with orange fire in front of him, and the mana on his body surged from time to time.

"Puff puff!"

The heat boiled, and the lid of the alchemy furnace was lifted and closed again, making a loud sound, like boiling water.

You can already smell the rich fragrance.

Soon, Zhao Huai retracted his strength, and the movement of the alchemy furnace quickly stopped.

He opened his eyes, ready to take a look at the finished product.

When the lid of the furnace was opened, the Dan fog rose and blew on his face.

Several brown pills lay quietly in the stove.

The sloppy old man glanced at it and commented: "Yes, there are seven pills, which is considered superior." ”

"After only a few days of study, I can condense the top-grade Qi Gathering Pill."

"Tsk, your comprehension and memory are a bit amazing, I want to learn this thick pile of Danjing summaries when the old man did, but it took three months, and you read it in three days, and you still memorize it like a stream, and fully comprehend it?"

Zhao Huai was praised, but he just smiled slightly, not arrogant, but humbly said: "It's all taught by the predecessors, and the name of Gu Daozi is indeed well deserved." ”

Or is the effect brought by the [Tianxin Wisdom Eye] life too real, and the so-called summary of the Dan Sutra, he spent half a day to finish it.

If it weren't for something else, it wouldn't have been able to wait for three days.

Gu Daozi stroked his white beard depressedly, didn't believe Zhao Huai's nonsense, and said with emotion:

"Alas, the sword is cultivated well, you have to come to grab a job with the old man, why bother, doesn't the sect behind you give you pills?"

"Actually, the juniors are not disciples of the sect."

Zhao Huai didn't intend to hide it, so he said it directly.

"You're not a disciple of Lingshan?"

Gu Daozi was surprised.

"Yes, the junior is his own cultivation immortal gate, which is no different from casual cultivation."

After getting along with Gu Daozi for many days, the relationship was relatively harmonious, and the two would have a cooperative relationship in the future, so Zhao Huai told the truth directly.

"It's not easy to have today's cultivation, take it, this is the Zhuji Dan you want."

Gu Daozi said and handed a porcelain vase to Zhao Huai.

"Thank you, senior."

Zhao Huai was not polite, and immediately took the porcelain bottle.

The six-grade alchemist can completely refine the Zhuji Dan, and most of the subordinates under his command are not a few who are stuck in Qi training, and the poor ones are the Qi Gathering Pill and the Zhuji Dan.

In less than a year, he was able to cultivate a large number of foundation building monks.

It sounds as if building a foundation has become very simple.

In fact, this is not the case, where can a normal person buy a Qi Gathering Pill, a low-grade Qi Gathering Pill on the market costs a thousand taels of silver, not to mention the hard-to-find Zhuji Dan.

Like Zhao Huai, people who can get acquainted with a sixth-grade alchemist are a minority after all.

In the final analysis, it's still the Medicine King Order.

Zhao Huai didn't know what Yan Jing's identity was in the Medicine King Dangu.

To be sure, he's still hiding his clumsiness.

The two agreed to meet again on the fairy road, but they don't know when they will meet again.

Bidding farewell to Gu Daozi, Zhao Huai soon returned to Yantang Manor.

As soon as he entered the door, Song Zhishu, who was wearing a Confucian shirt, hurriedly ran over, as if there was something urgent.

"Your Highness, the latest news!"

"The new emperor of Great Xia ascends the throne."

Song Zhishu did a good job of etiquette, bowed and bowed.

Zhao Huai nodded and said, "The action is fast, have you found out who it is?" ”

"Your Royal Highness, she is the famous princess of Daxia back then."

"An empress?"

Zhao Huai looked a little surprised.

Sure enough, Yin Nanyu's words have come true, and it is not easy to be an empress, and she is by no means an idle person.

Is it really like the rumored that it was a man who slaughtered a woman Rakshasa?

If this is the case, I am afraid that this is a disaster for Great Xia, and this empress is likely to be a tyrant.

Song Zhishu said: "Yes, with her, the territory of Great Xia has basically stabilized, and the Northern Wolf Empire is entrenched in the north and does not move." ”

Zhao Huai pondered for a moment and said: "Continue to inquire about the internal news of Great Xia, the more detailed the better, it is best to find out what kind of person this Great Xia Empress is, these things will be handed over to you, I may be going to start a retreat recently, and it will not appear for a long time." ”

"This is a reward for the soldiers and the ministers who have made contributions, and it will be distributed according to the needs."

Zhao Huai took out a few bottles of pills from Xuanjie and handed them to the other party.

"Understood."

Song Zhishu nodded solemnly and took the porcelain vase with both hands.

With His Royal Highness the Prince's cultivation talent, this retreat is definitely going to sprint to the Jindan Realm.

This is definitely a great thing for Da Yan.

"Then the subordinate retired first."

Zhao Huai saw him leave and looked at the plum blossoms slowly blooming in the yard.

Seeing things and thinking about people, he couldn't help but sigh slightly.

The entire people of Da Yan regard him as the lord of Da Yan, respectfully, the New Year is coming soon, and he is here, and he doesn't even have a close friend.

Is this what it is like to be cold in a high place?

The road is long, and the road to cultivating immortals is destined to be lonely.

Borrowing eight times the speed of time flow from the Ancestral Wheel Boundary Mirror.

He needed to break through to the Jindan realm as soon as possible.

Thousands of miles away, the Infinite Immortal Sect.

The immortal spirit mountain was also covered with snow.

It's just that from time to time there is a buzzing thunder in the sky.

An old man in a plain robe, his qi was unfathomable, he looked at the snow top of the mountain rock, and coughed from time to time.

"Boss, you're running out of time."

The white-robed elder next to him sighed.

No matter what, the elder cultivation of the Wuji Immortal Sect had at least reached the Yuan Infant Realm, but looking at his appearance, he was very worried.

Wuji Palm waved his hand, signaling that he was okay, and said with a faint smile:

"Don't be too pessimistic, I've lived for thousands of years, I've seen all the scenery I should see, and there's nothing to be nostalgic about."

"At the moment, there is no need to worry too much about the affairs of the world, the red dragon has turned into a phoenix, the national fortunes of Daxia have stabilized, I have calculated it later, there is no big problem, the two have the same fate, different roots, they are all people who are difficult to find in the world, and they are measured."

"If the master is so contaminated with cause and effect, I am afraid that the thunder tribulation in the future will be"

The white-robed elder knew that the cultivation of the sect had already broken through the transformation of the gods, and had already reached the latest level, but it had been suppressed.

Above the gods, it is refining the void.

Above the refining of emptiness, it is Mahayana.

However, refining the void is only a transitional stage, and the monk does not stay for too long.

Refining void is a realm that needs to be tribulated.

Thunder tribulation, heart tribulation, Tao tribulation

The more the monk fears any calamity, the more calamity comes.

This catastrophe does not just refer to a thunderbolt, which disappears after the split, but a period of time, a period of tribulation.

If you cross it, it will be powerful, but if you can't cross it, you will die, and your thousand-year-old efforts will be ruined.

And after the breakthrough is the Mahayana realm.

Mahayana is also known as a half-immortal, which can be reborn, condense immortal bones, and swallow immortal energy.

You can fly straight up.

You can also talk about it after you have survived the immortal tribulation, but only after experiencing the immortal tribulation can you say that you have attained the immortal path and become an immortal.

After the immortal tribulation, it is the real immortal.

But since the immortal path was cut off eight hundred years ago, no one has ascended.

The Mahayana realm is already a half-immortal, if you don't ascend for a long time, stay in the earth realm, and there is no immortal qi to nourish you, the internal opportunity will decay, and the realm will regress.

Therefore, in the hundreds of years after the immortal road was cut off, there were many great powers that fell and sat down.

At the same time, the aura has gradually thinned, and the monks are not as good as the next.

So much so that he didn't even dare to break through the power of the Transformation God Realm.

Because this is simply death.

Monks have to take the risk of breaking through, and at the same time, even if they break through to the Mahayana of refining the void, their lifespan does not increase, but the risk is greater.

After the monks broke through to the gods, they all tacitly agreed not to cultivate, and lived in seclusion in the mountains and forests, in case they encountered thunderstorms and were riddled with cause and effect.

Since the Immortal Road was cut off, no one could break this law except for Yan Zu.

As a result, everyone in the immortal cultivation world felt that the immortals of Yan Zu descended to earth, not ascended.

Right now, the Wuji Sect is facing this dilemma.

His cultivation has been backlogged for too long, and he has broken through the god early, but he has not crossed the tribulation, but he has only suppressed it with secret methods, maintaining a delicate balance.

There were too many causes and effects contaminated a while ago, and now this balance can no longer be controlled.

The heavenly machine still locked on him.

"Master, without you, the people of the Demon Gate are afraid that there will be another riot."

"The disciples who traveled in Beizhou have not returned, I am afraid that it will be more auspicious."

The white-robed elder expressed the worry in his heart.

The Immortal Cultivation Realm is not as calm as it seems.

The current peace is maintained by the Xianmen, or rather, it was maintained by Yanzu with suppression five hundred years ago.

Now that Yan Zu has been gone for too long, there are some things that still can't be suppressed.

The strength of the Sect Leader is the strongest among the many Immortal Sect Ancestors.

Only he can sit in Lingshan.

Wuji said: "The demon lord was seriously injured by Yan Zu, at least for a hundred years, he will not come out, let the sect's Tianjiao grow as soon as possible, this is the real way to deal with the demon sect." ”

"Elder Hai is sitting alone in the Void South China Sea, fishing for spiritual objects, and it has been five hundred years, if I am not there, let him take my place."

Summer capital.

Above the imperial court, hundreds of civil and military officials are ranked on the left and right, which is different from the decadent style of the young lord in power.

Many young ministers were full of energy, looking at the empress on the dragon chair, their eyes full of hope.

Of course, there are also ministers with hidden malice, who feel that it is inappropriate for a woman to be the emperor, but it is difficult to say it because of the prestige of this person.

"The old ministers have restored the dynasty and the army has been restructured, and if we don't make drastic innovations, we can only sit back and wait for destruction."

"Your Majesty, the policy of governing the country was formulated by the emperor, and changing the dynasty is changing overnight, isn't it self-defeating prestige?"

"Yes, besides, the old minister has retired, how can he go to the court again!"

Several old ministers at the bottom came out and persuaded loudly.

Yu Qinghan's phoenix eyes glanced at them lightly and said:

"The northern wolf has already hit the head, can you tell me to open the imperial examination again? Let the old ministers fill in the vacant positions. ”

"Since ancient times, the kings who have been appointed and revived, all rule the world with virtuous gentlemen."

"Sage, I'd rather be long, what's wrong with the old man? If you can use it, only do it, and I know how to use it. ”

"But you, who make things difficult in every possible way, ignore my orders, and refute them back and forth, are you really for the country and the people, or are you selfish?"

was asked by Yu Qinghan like this, and several old ministers suddenly swallowed and couldn't speak.

Naturally, they don't want their position to be shaken.

Especially the founding ministers led by Fan Yan.

Seeing that the new empress made such a domineering and decisive decision.

Many young officials looked sideways one after another, their eyes full of appreciation.

A good "sage, rather than long", "meritocracy".

In their opinion, Yu Qinghan has all the advantages of the previous two emperors, martial arts and civil governance, and is an emperor worthy of assistance.

This was undoubtedly a blessing to these young men.

Suddenly.

Yu Qinghan's jade hand covered his mouth, and his willow eyebrows furrowed.

"Your Majesty, what's wrong? But feeling unwell? ”

A minister said with concern.

Yu Qinghan's face soon turned as usual, shook his head, and said lightly:

"It's nothing, it's just that I was late for last night."

"Your Majesty, pay attention to the dragon body."

Yu Qinghan glanced at the ministers and said calmly: "The harvest year of the heavy snow, the beginning of spring in the coming year, it must be a bumper harvest year, and the impact of the great drought should also end. ”

"Yes!"

When many officials heard this, they nodded their heads again and again, and they all felt reasonable.

"Next, it's nothing, so let's retreat."

"Yes!"

The ministers all bowed.

After retreating, the hundred officials dispersed one after another.

The scene just now made an official with gloomy eyes look at it and remember it in his heart, and then walked in the direction of Changning Palace.

After the next dynasty, Yu Qinghan took off the robe of the Red Emperor, changed into the clothes of ordinary people, and put on a veil.

A person went to the medical shop in the capital to find a doctor.

The doctor is an old man in his sixties, and he seems to have a lot of experience.

He showed Yu Qinghan his pulse, quickly gave a judgment, and said with a smile: "Madam, this is happy." ”

Yu Qinghan's eyes were first happy, and then he smiled helplessly, his eyes were inexplicably tangled, and he bit his lip and asked:

"It's been a long time."

"Two months." The doctor held out his finger and said.

"It stands to reason that in two months, it should also be nausea and vomiting, is there any symptoms in Madame?"

"Yes."

"That's not wrong, next, the abdomen will bulge, it's normal, Madame can let Ling Jun prepare for the fetus, I can prescribe a few pills to protect the fetus, which can relieve the symptoms."

"Wait."

Yu Qinghan interrupted the doctor's writing with a wolf quill pen.

The doctor stopped, stared at her with old eyes, and frowned: "Could it be that Mrs. doesn't want to give birth?" Or don't want this child anymore. ”

He has seen many similar examples.

They are all women from good families, who were deceived by land hooligans, and then secretly came to him to have a fetus without telling their families.

Hearing this, Yu Qinghan gritted his silver teeth and fell into hesitation.

The reason why she came to the people was because she didn't want the imperial doctor in the palace to know about it.

If the minister knows, then what is her face?

The best way is to use medicine to abort the baby.

But this is the husband's flesh and blood, maybe the only flesh and blood.

She is alone, her brother and father are gone, and her husband is missing.

In other words, now only this child can rely on her.

The air was quiet for a long time.

Yu Qinghan was thinking quietly, and the doctor was also waiting for her reply.

Finally, I struggled inwardly for a long time.

She raised her eyes, looked at the doctor, took a deep breath and said:

"I'm sorry doctor, let's prescribe a few flavors of fetal medicine."

PS: Do you want a son or a daughter?
