Seeing Zhao Wenkai's right hand trembling and making a gesture of holding a pen, Ling Zixuan knew that he wanted to communicate with himself through writing, and he immediately asked Chenxin to fetch the pen and paper.

After half an hour of Zhao Wenkai's writing, Ling Zixuan finally understood why Zhao Wenkai was locked up here.

It turned out that twelve years ago, when Zhao Wenkai was browsing the books in the library alone, he accidentally saw a magical immortal cultivation technique in an ancient book. The essence of this exercise is that you need to collect the power of faith to transform spiritual power, so as to quickly improve your strength. His first reaction at that time was that he himself was the Ninety-Five Supreme of the Liyang Dynasty, and collecting faith was as simple as eating and sleeping for him.

So without hesitation, he practiced this exercise, and soon he entered the Tao and cultivated immortals through this exercise, and through two years of hard practice, he was promoted to the Yuanying realm. became one of the few immortal cultivators in the Liyang Dynasty.

originally thought that with the continuous increase of his strength, he could finally personally lead the generals of the Liyang Dynasty to complete the great achievements of several generations of Liyang people who failed to complete the unification of the Xiongnu and the Southern Barbarians.

But what he didn't expect was that when he hit the Transformation God Realm, there was a huge problem in his body, which directly caused him to go mad, the meridians of his body burst, and the dantian also cracked. couldn't lift his spiritual power, and he directly became a wasted person.

Since there was no one around him who had cultivated immortals to the incarnation realm like him, he had no way to deal with it for a while. The situation lasted for two months and gradually worsened.

The meridians and dantian in his body gradually shrank, and his spiritual power had nowhere to go, constantly impacting his already fragile meridians and body, and he was enduring unimaginable pain every day. As a result, he could not live a normal life, so he could only hide in the Qianqing Palace for a long time, unwilling to see people.

He didn't dare to tell anyone about his physical condition, for fear that it would bring indelible subversion to the Liyang Dynasty. Only his own personal eunuch was under his care, helping to take care of his daily life and decoction of medicine.

He couldn't figure out why this was happening, he was groggy all day long, and he didn't even pay attention to state affairs. Until one day, King Lin'an suddenly appeared in front of him, and after discovering his physical problems, he recommended one of his immortal cultivators to help him heal, which is now the national teacher Murong An.

In less than a month, the national teacher used his spiritual power to help Zhao Wenkai regulate his meridians every day, and gradually guided the violent spiritual power in his body out of his body, and finally let him get rid of the pain of spiritual disorder that caused life to be worse than death.

This made Zhao Wenkai very grateful to the national teacher, and he could also feel that the national teacher was an immortal cultivator in the Yuanying Realm, so he simply gave Murong An as the national teacher and assisted the prince in managing state affairs. However, he himself lived deep in the palace, wanting to improve his body by resuming his cultivation, striving to recover the Yuanying realm as soon as possible, and even break through to the realm of transforming gods.

But how difficult it was to recover, for six years, he had only recovered to the Yuanying Realm through cultivation and the elixir given by the national teacher, and then he could no longer improve. Just when he was disheartened, the national teacher actually made a move against him when he was alone with him once.

Abolish his whole body and then brutally mutilate him, leading to the current situation. He still hasn't figured out why the national teacher wants to treat him like this, even if he wants to seize the imperial power, just kill him directly, why torture him like this.

After Ling Zixuan learned about Zhao Wenkai's tragic experience, several doubts kept popping up in his mind. First, why was it that only Zhao Wenkai discovered the immortal cultivation method of the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, and none of the previous emperors found it? Second, why did King Lin'an happen to meet the national teacher when he went mad, and brought the national teacher into the palace to cure Zhao Wenkai's madness at that time? Third, why didn't you kill Zhao Wenkai and directly support King Lin'an to ascend to the throne?

Zhao Wenkai continued to write a message to Ling Zixuan, he hoped that Ling Zixuan could protect his daughter and the third prince, the crown prince was completely controlled by the national teacher, so he could not be trusted. Only this daughter and the third prince are worthy of his trust.

In addition, since all the military power is now in the hands of the national teacher, the King of Lin'an should soon reach the capital when he raises troops, so he hopes that Ling Zixuan can take the princess and the third prince away, after all, without the military power in hand, they can't compete with the King of Lin'an, so they can only let them hide first, and then raise troops to regain the imperial power when the time is ripe in the future.

Ling Zixuan didn't answer Zhao Wenkai's request, but just let him recuperate here, although Zhao Wenkai didn't let Ling Zixuan cut the deep-sea silver chain that locked him in order not to startle the snake. However, under the recovery of the Restoration Pill, his physical condition still improved, but Ling Zixuan found that Zhao Wenkai's body was constantly having a white aura that was slowly sucked out of his body through the refinement of these two deep-sea sinking silver.

With the outflow of white breath, Zhao Wenkai's body seemed to be hollowed out a little bit, although the flesh and meridians improved under the recovery of the recovery pill, but Zhao Wenkai's whole state was still sluggish.

Could it be that this white breath is the power of faith that supports Zhao Wenkai's skills?

Is it because the power of faith in his body is constantly absorbed by the deep sea sinking silver, causing Zhao Wenkai to be unable to recover his strength? Moreover, Ling Zixuan found that if Zhao Wenkai's power of faith was completely sucked away, Zhao Wenkai would die because of the loss of spiritual power.

This will definitely lead to the collapse of the national fortunes of the Liyang Dynasty, maybe this is what the national teacher hopes to achieve.

Ling Zixuan let Zhao Wenkai cultivate with peace of mind, he would let his disciple Chenxin come over and feed him the Restoration Pill every once in a while, at least to ensure that his physical body could remain in a healthy state, judging from the speed of the deep sea sinking silver absorbing the power of faith in Zhao Wenkai's body, it should not cause his life to be in danger in a short period of time.

"Wen Ting, how long has it been since you met the saint?" As soon as Ling Zixuan returned to Huaqing Palace, he asked the Ninth Princess.

"Face saint? It's been three or four years, but during this period, I went to the Qianqing Palace several times, but my father didn't let me enter the palace to meet me, but just chatted with me a few words. What's wrong? The Ninth Princess asked a little uneasily.

After Ling Zixuan listened to the words of the Ninth Princess, he once again confirmed that the man who was locked up in the cold palace should really be the current saint Zhao Wenkai.

After looking at the nervous expression of the ninth princess, he asked the ninth princess to find a way to call the three princes together, he had something to say to take care of the two of them.

Facing the three princes and the ninth princess, Ling Zixuan told them exactly what he had found in the cold palace. And he also stopped the grieving two from rushing to rescue their father.
