A month and a half later.

Cold Palace.

Father-in-law Chen's courtyard.

"Xiao Xuanzi, you have to be careful, our family is going to be serious!"

Gonggong Chen's chest bulged, he screamed, and his palm instantly turned blood-red, bent into eagle claws, and grabbed Li Xuan.

Eagle Claw Gong!

Li Xuan's eyes flashed, looking at this menacing grasp, not in a hurry, and tapped the ground with his toes a few times.

Whew!

His figure was as if he was stepping on the Tiangang Beidou, flickering rapidly, forming an afterimage, dodging Gonggong Chen's grasp.

Moreover, with a bend of his legs, he turned the direction at a strange angle, and appeared in front of Gonggong Chen in an instant, and kicked towards Gonggong Chen!

"Good body!"

Gonggong Chen squinted, raised his hand, bent his palm into a fist, and slammed towards the soles of Li Xuan's feet!

Boom!

Fists and kicks collided.

The ground that the two stepped on instantly appeared a pit, and debris flew out horizontally.

Gonggong Chen took a few steps back, shook his hand, and stopped.

Li Xuan also seemed to be unable to withstand this force, and after his body landed, he retreated a distance before barely stopping.

Seeing that Gonggong Chen was going to continue to attack.

Li Xuan raised his hand helplessly and said, "Father-in-law, let's stop today's discussion, your eagle claw skills are too powerful, I am not an opponent." ”

Gonggong Chen stopped and laughed: "Xiao Xuanzi, you have improved a lot during this time, our family is fighting you now, and we have to do our best." ”

"It's all your father-in-law, you teach it well." Li Xuan said modestly.

In the past month and a half, with the improvement of his strength, he has not only been limited to unilateral beating of Xiaohuzi.

Instead, I found an opportunity to learn from Chen Gonggong.

Chen Gong didn't have anything to do on the fair day, and he didn't want his martial arts to be too rusty, so he agreed.

Of course.

After a month and a half of cultivation, Li Xuan had already broken through the strong muscles and reached the Bone Refining Realm.

The strength is more than 20,000 catties, even if he doesn't use any martial arts, he can unilaterally crush Gonggong Chen.

After all, Gonggong Chen is only in the Bone Refining Realm, and whether it is strengthening the muscles or refining the bones, what he cultivates is the martial arts of the Middle Vehicle.

There is no way to compare with Li Xuan!

However, Li Xuan didn't dare to show his strength too much, almost every time he retracted his strength and fought with Chen Gonggong, and exposed his flaws in a timely manner, so that Chen Gonggong won.

The advantage of this is that Li Xuan's control of his own strength and the use of "Tiangang Seven Star Steps" have become more and more mature.

"Come, come, rest, have a cup of tea."

Gonggong Chen took the towel handed over by Li Xuan and sat on the stone bench in the courtyard.

Li Xuan took the teapot and teacup from the house and poured a cup of hot tea for Gonggong Chen.

Gonggong Chen drank the tea and said, "Xiao Xuanzi, you can sit too." ”

Wait for Li Xuan to sit down.

Gonggong Chen continued: "Xiao Xuanzi, how long have you been in the cold palace?" ”

"It's been almost half a year since I returned to my father-in-law." Li Xuan thought for a moment and said.

He didn't expect that so much time had passed, unconsciously.

He has also changed from a little eunuch to a steward with peerless magic skills and strength comparable to that of a strong person in the congenital realm.

It's a sea change.

Gonggong Chen sighed with emotion: "Time is urging people to get old, half a year has passed unconsciously, and our family has been in the palace for 20 years." ”

"Father-in-law, you don't look old at all, and no one will believe you when you say you're twenty years old."

Li Xuan was a little strange, how could he talk about his age, what kind of medicine was sold in this gourd?

Gonggong Chen shook his head: "Sometimes people don't accept old age, you see Xiao Xuanziling, half a year ago, I didn't get started in "Mighty Bull Demon Fist", and now I am a strong martial artist, this cultivation speed is much stronger than when our family was young." ”

"Well, the child is also thanks to the assistance of the elixir, otherwise he wouldn't have broken through so quickly." Li Xuan said humbly.

The strength he is showing now is at the ordinary strength level.

In this way, it will not make people feel that the cultivation is too slow, nor too fast, and it is just right.

After all.

He usually goes to the pharmacy to help Hua Taiyi alchemy, and with this pretense, it makes sense to cultivate faster in the early stage.

Gonggong Chen nodded slightly, but he didn't suspect anything: "It's good to have a craft, I heard that Manager Zhang has often asked you for alchemy recently?" ”

"Well, I've only looked for it a few times, but the child's alchemy skills are not high, and at most he can refine about seven grades of pills, and the success rate is not high, so I occasionally help Mr. Zhang refine a few furnaces of meditation pills to assist in cultivation." Li Xuan said.

Naturally, he was lying.

After four or five months of alchemy and the increase in experience points.

The progress of his Five Elements Alchemy has reached Dacheng (11,000/20,000).

With his ability, even refining the five-grade pill was more than enough.

The Qi Increasing and Dispersing and Qi Gathering Pills in the Five Pins Pill can all improve the cultivation speed of innate realm martial artists.

Gonggong Chen took another sip of tea, and didn't talk about alchemy anymore, but changed the conversation:

"Since the assassination of the Mid-Autumn Lantern Festival, Chief Manager Lin has rarely come to the Cold Palace, and it is rumored that he is about to step down from the post of the Chief Manager of the Cold Palace and serve the Queen Mother in Kunning Palace with peace of mind.

Li Xuan understood what Gonggong Chen meant, and hurriedly said:

"Once Manager Zhang ascends to the position, the position of the manager naturally belongs to you, your father-in-law."

Gonggong Chen said lightly: "This is not accurate, if Manager Zhang is really in charge at that time, who will be the next chief manager, it is not a matter of his words, he recently came to you for alchemy, didn't he mention this matter?" ”

, no wonder this old Deng said in a strange tone today, it turned out that he was beating me in secret, afraid that I would rob me of the position of the general manager...... Li Xuan reacted and said busily:

"No, Mr. Zhang is just looking for children to make alchemy, and he didn't say anything else."

"You have been with Manager Zhang for so long, and you are highly respected in the Cold Palace, if he wants to choose the next manager, he must choose you."

Gonggong Chen rubbed the teacup and said with a smile: "What if Manager Zhang chooses you to be the next manager?" ”

"How dare the child rob his father-in-law, if Manager Zhang really chooses the child, the child will definitely excuse himself." Li Xuan said.

Although he also wants to sit in this position of chief steward, in this way, he can contact all the waste concubines in the cold palace, and he will gain more experience points.

However, the time is not yet ripe.

Not to mention that this Chen Gonggong is okay with him, he has no reason to turn against Chen Gonggong and fight for this position.

Even if he wanted this position, Manager Zhang might not choose him.

After all, he has only been in the palace for half a year, and he directly jumped twice to become the chief manager, which is estimated to cause dissatisfaction among many eunuchs and palace maids.

It will also embarrass Grandpa Chen!

For the sake of the stability of the cold palace, Manager Zhang will not choose him.

Therefore, Li Xuan naturally had to show that he was not interested in this position of manager, so as not to make Gonggong Chen unhappy.

Gonggong Chen smiled: "If you have this heart, our family will be satisfied, our family is old, and it will not take a few years to estimate that you will have to be like Gonggong Xu, go out of the palace to retire, and then your qualifications are enough, plus our family's recommendation, you take over our family's position, and no one will have an opinion." ”

The implication of these words is to tell Li Xuan that he wants to sit in the position of the chief manager.

Li Xuan understood and said with a smile: "Thank you for your father-in-law's support, the child is here to wish his father-in-law a high promotion in advance." ”

Gonggong Chen waved his hand: "I haven't mentioned anything about the eight characters yet, so I won't mention it yet." ”

said this, but the smile on the corner of his mouth couldn't be hidden.
