The imperial capital of Great Xia, the imperial palace.

is different from Gu Haoran, who is angry and angry, Xia Ao is in a good mood at this moment.

Because he had already discovered a large amount of Yuan Qi Essence stored in the hidden space of the Taihuang Mirror, these Yuan Qi Essences were enough to make some of the high-level combat power of Great Xia go to a higher level in a short period of time.

For the behavior of the Ancient Emperor Dynasty who gave away heads and treasures, Xia Ao was quite satisfied.

In addition, Xia Ao also found some minerals and artifacts full of evil and chaotic aura in it.

These things can't be used at all under normal circumstances, and being tough will only cause trouble, and putting them outside will also bring many adverse effects, otherwise the people of the Ancient Emperor Dynasty will not let these things stay quietly in the Taihuang Mirror, and use the power of the Taihuang Mirror to suppress them.

However, for Xia Ao, these things are not only not a trouble, but they are also rare treasures, because he has a magical purification pool!

The purification pool can purify evil, chaotic, and ominous things, retain the purest beneficial things, and at the same time, it can also absorb the essence of the finest Yuan Stone and Yuan Jing, and transform it into the essence of Yuan Qi.

Therefore, Xia Ao went straight to the purification pool and threw all the "troubles" into it.

After a period of refining, the original appearance of those minerals turned out to be Yuan Jing!

This was obviously a big surprise for Xia Ao, because the efficiency and volume of Yuan Jing's transformation into Yuan Qi Essence were far higher than that of Yuan Stone.

It's just that the annual output of Yuan Jing in Great Xia is quite limited, and the share that can be put into the purification pool is only half.

But if the source of this evil mineral can be discovered, it will be of great significance to Great Xia, and it is self-evident!

Therefore, while waiting for those artifacts to be purified, Xia Ao immediately sent a decree to summon the two pavilion masters, the head of the Four Guards and the Stargazing Pavilion, he wanted to know the source of the essence of vitality and those evil things, especially the latter.

Time continued to pass, and the same transparent utensils gradually surfaced on the water surface of the purification pool, and the chaotic and ominous aura that was originally contaminated on their bodies had completely collapsed.

After looking at and verifying them one by one, Xia Ao got a great surprise.

Because these artifacts are all inferior spiritual weapons at the very least, and there are even high-grade spiritual treasures!

It's just that among the dozens of artifacts, spiritual weapons account for the majority, and there are only nine spiritual treasures, among which there is only one high-grade spiritual treasure.

Even so, such a gain is amazing enough.

"This Gu Qingke is really a lucky star......

Xia Ao muttered to himself, and the smile in his eyes couldn't be hidden.

After a period of time, the four heads of the four guards, including Yuan Tiangang, Lu Bing, Zhao Gao, and Wei Zhongxian, as well as Liu Bowen and Dongfang Shuo, the two main and deputy pavilion masters of the Stargazing Pavilion, came together.

"Your Majesty!"

"Excuse me."

Seeing Xia Ao smiling, the six of them glanced at each other, and they were amazed.

Your Majesty's mood today seems to be exceptionally good, huh?

"What do you all know about the Taihuang Mirror?"

Hearing Xia Ao's question, Lu Bing took the lead in responding.

"Back to Your Majesty, according to the intelligence, the Taihuang Mirror is the most powerful treasure of the Ancient Emperor Dynasty, and it is kept by the strongest person of the Ancient Dynasty, and since a hundred years ago, this thing has been personally controlled by the Ancient Emperor Gu Qingke."

Speaking of this, Lu Bing paused, and the rest of the people's eyes lit up.

Because they suddenly thought that the Taihuang Mirror was very likely to have fallen into the hands of His Majesty, after all, Gu Qingke had already been killed by His Majesty himself!

Lu Bing took a deep breath and continued to speak.

"As for the function of the Taihuang Mirror, it is also extremely comprehensive, whether it is offensive and defensive, or arranging enchantments, formations, or hiding and so on, it can be done."

"In addition, the Taihuang Mirror also has two magical effects that are unknown to whether they are true or false."

"The first one, it is said that the Taihuang Mirror can go to the Void of the Universe and absorb the Qi of the Universe and transform it into the essence of the Yuan Qi, which is a powerful arm for the Ancient Emperor Dynasty to always be strong."

"As for the second one, it is said that it can help the master of the Taihuang Mirror to fight beyond the level, but what kind of ability it is, whether it is true or not, the current information cannot be clearly confirmed."

After listening to Lu Bing's introduction, Xia Ao suddenly realized.

It turns out that this is the origin of the essence of vitality.

At present, he has not completely refined the Taihuang Mirror, so he does not know the specific function of the Taihuang Mirror.

"Do you know where these two things come from?"

Xia Ao stretched out his hand as he spoke, showing the only remaining chaotic ore and ominous artifact in front of several people.

As soon as these two things appeared, the strange smoke that swirled on them seemed to have life, like the tentacles of evil things wanted to spread around, but they were confined to the square inch by the enchantment under Xia Aobu, unable to advance a bit.

The six courtiers frowned slightly, because the aura of these two things made them instinctively uncomfortable.

"Your Majesty, this should be an evil stone and an evil weapon."

Wei Zhongxian narrowed his eyes and suddenly said out loud.

"Evil stones? Evil weapons? ”

Xia Ao raised his eyes to look at Wei Zhongxian.

"Nine times out of ten."

Wei Zhongxian nodded affirmatively, and then explained in detail: "Your Majesty, since the appearance of the Guiming Sea, there has been a wave of strange treasures every five hundred years. ”

"The so-called wave of strange treasures means that the sea of Guiming will spew some artifacts from the deep seawater to the surface from time to time, among which there may be unpolluted Yuan crystals, treasures, and even Yuan Qi essences, etc., but more are evil stones and evil weapons."

"Evil stones and evil weapons are extremely harmful, even if they are supreme, they will be hit by a mistake and even fall!"

"During the wave of strange treasures, some evil stones and evil weapons will also disguise themselves as normal treasures, which will lead to a bloody fight and kill the final winner!"

"Therefore, the Strange Treasure Wave is an opportunity that the powerful people of all parties in the main continent love and hate, and some of them do take advantage of this to soar into the sky, but many more people have paid a terrible price for it!"

After listening to Wei Zhongxian's narration, Xia Ao's eyes flashed slightly, and a flash of light flashed in his eyes.

"In this way, these evil stones and evil weapons actually come from the Sea of Guiming?"

"Back to Your Majesty, it is true."

Wei Zhongxian nodded again, but his expression was a little confused, and he didn't understand why His Majesty asked like this.

At this time, Zhao Gao narrowed his eyes and asked softly, "Your Majesty is interested in the Strange Treasure Wave?" It's just that it's still a long time before the next wave of exotic treasures......"

Xia Ao shook his head and didn't say much, just threw the evil stones and evil weapons in front of him into the purification pool.

Several people were stunned for a moment, but it didn't take long for them to show a look of surprise, because they saw wisps of black smoke rising upward, and there was a faint terrible whine in the pool.

When the evil stone turned into a yuan crystal and surfaced, and when the evil weapon turned into a pure and bright bronze artifact appeared, several people were even more surprised and delighted.

They didn't expect that this magical pool could not only transform the Yuan Stone-level Yuan Crystal into the essence of Yuan Qi, but also completely purify the evil stones and evil weapons!

Now that he knew the answer he wanted, Xia Ao did not delay.

"Come on, Li Bing, the secretary of the Propaganda and Industry Department, will meet you."

"Yes!"

When the eunuch who delivered the decree left, Xia Ao turned around and walked to the pavilion not far away and sat down, and several courtiers naturally bowed their heads and followed.

"What news do you have about that sea elf clan?"

Before the beauty list was released, Bai Xiaosheng had already submitted the internal list to Xia Ao for review, so that Xia Ao could decide whether to delete or modify the content of the list.

For this list, Xia Ao did not modify it, but he noticed the tenth on the list called Hai Bingruo, the Holy Mother of the Sea Elf Clan.

In the past few months, through the huge eyes and ears of the factory guards, Daxia's intelligence base has been greatly expanded, and many secrets have been mastered, but Xia Ao has heard of the Sea Elf Clan for the first time, so he has paid special attention to it.

Hearing Xia Ao's question, Lu Bing and Wei Zhongxian both showed a look of surprise and shame.

"Back to Your Majesty, the Sea Elf Clan is extremely mysterious, and the forces of the main continent do not seem to know about it, so they have not had any information related to the Sea Elf Clan for the time being."

"Shame on you!"

Seeing that Lu Bing and Wei Zhongxian were speechless for the first time, Yuan Tiangang and Zhao Gao's expressions remained unchanged, but their hearts were a lot more comfortable.

Since coming to the main continent, the two of them have almost become transparent people, and they can't get any key information, so they can only watch Lu Bing and Wei Zhongxian keep performing.

Right now, I finally saw these two guys deflated.

Xia Ao frowned and turned his head to look at Liu Bowen and Dongfang Shuo.

"Your Majesty, regarding the Sea Elf Clan, the ministers and the Eastern Pavilion Master have deduced a vague line, but this line is pointing, but the ministers are not sure whether the direction is accurate."

Hearing Liu Bowen's response, Xia Ao raised his eyebrows.

"Oh? Why? ”

"Go back to Your Majesty, because what the line refers to is the sea of return......"

As soon as Liu Bowen said this, the rest of the people immediately became stunned.

What kind of place is the Sea of Returning, everyone knows very well, there, even the Supreme does not dare to guarantee 100% safety, let alone survive a huge race?

Xia Ao narrowed his eyes and said with interest: "Interesting, it seems that there are a lot of secrets hidden in this sea of returning......"

Hearing this, several courtiers were stunned.

Listening to His Majesty's meaning, do you really believe that the Sea Elves will live in the Sea of Guiming?

How is this possible?

Not long after, Li Bing arrived.

"Minister, meet Your Majesty!"

"Well, Li Aiqing, how is the research on the battleship of the Cangying Emperor Dynasty?"

Xia Ao bowed his head slightly and went straight to the point.

The battleship of the Cangying Emperor Dynasty was able to cross the Sea of Guiming, which means that it can resist many risks over the Sea of Guiming, which is of great significance to the iteration of the battleship, so after destroying Feng Gaoyang and others, Xia Ao handed it over to the Black Dragon Yuan for study.

"Back to Your Majesty, the key reason has been mastered, and it is expected that it will be completely understood in another month!"

Li Bing responded respectfully, looking confident.

"Good."

Xia Ao nodded in satisfaction, and then the topic changed.

"If you want to build a warship that can move and go freely in and out of the Sea of Returning, is it possible?"

Li Bing was stunned for a moment, frowned and thought for a while, then hesitated: "Back to Your Majesty, there is a big difference between sailing in the Sea of Guiming and flying over the sky, if you give the minister three months, the minister is confident that he will build a small warship to try, but if it is a large warship, I am afraid that there is no hope for several years of study, because the environment of the Sea of Guiming is too special......"

Hearing Li Bing's answer, Xia Ao was not only annoyed, but also smiled.

"Excellent! Then you can arrange it and let the Black Dragon Court dispatch its elite forces to fully study the small warships that can freely enter and exit the Sea of Guiming! ”

"Remember, the success or failure of this matter is related to the foundation of my Great Xia's strength, and I must go all out and not slack off!"

Xia Ao's plan is very simple, he just wants people to take the Taihuang Mirror to capture evil stones and evil weapons in the Sea of Guiming.

Of course, it would be best if you could discover the secrets of the Sea Elves by the way.

"Yes! Obey the order! ”
