"Father-in-law."

Li Xuan looked at Gonggong Chen and hugged his fists.

He felt a little strange in his heart, how could this father-in-law Chen come to his yard in a good manner.

You must know that since he became the steward, the two have rarely communicated in private in order to avoid suspicion.

If it weren't for Li Xuan's occasional excuse to go to see Duanmu Niangniang and the others, the two of them would probably rarely see each other once a month.

"Xiao Xuanzi, your spirit is getting better and better, looking at you, our family really feels old."

Gonggong Chen looked at the radiant Li Xuan and couldn't help but sigh.

He vaguely remembered that a year ago, his righteous son was still an inconspicuous little eunuch.

Now he is on an equal footing with him!

Moreover, in just one year, the cultivation has also reached the bone refining realm from the flesh refining realm.

This speed is really much faster than he was back then.

If he could show such talent when he was in the prison courtyard, I am afraid that he would not be assigned to the cold palace to do things.

Li Xuan complimented: "Where is the father-in-law, you seem to be living younger and younger, I'm afraid it won't be long before you can be promoted to the innate realm." ”

said.

He led Gonggong Chen into the house: "Father-in-law, please come in, I'll make you tea." ”

Gonggong Chen was not polite, and sat down by himself.

His nose twitched, and he said: "Xiao Xuanzi, how is the progress of your alchemy, our family is here, we can smell the fragrance of medicine, and in private, I'm afraid there is no shortage of alchemy, right?" ”

"Back to the righteous father, the child's natural posture is insufficient, and at present, he has at most refined the six-grade pill, and the success rate is not high." Li Xuan said.

Of course.

This was just the talent he showed to the outside world, but in fact, he was already able to refine the Five Rank Pills.

Moreover, there is a high probability that a high-quality pill with a Dan pattern can be refined.

A five-grade high-quality elixir is priced at about one hundred and fifty taels.

Excluding the cost of raw materials, Li Xuan can earn sixty or seventy taels just for one.

There are about three or four pieces in one furnace.

Li Xuan now refines two to three furnaces a day, and can probably earn about three or four hundred taels.

These refined pills, Li Xuan naturally sold them through the night market.

However, in order not to attract attention, he has only changed his appearance and changed his aura at present, and has only participated in the big night market once that only Innate Realm martial artists can participate.

Fortunately, there is no identity check in this night market, otherwise there is still a risk of exposure.

Of course, selling pills in the big night market is okay once or twice, and it will definitely be noticed by someone after a long time.

Therefore, Li Xuan still decided to mix the identity of a supernumerary person in the East Factory first, accumulate a certain amount of pills, and then take them out of the palace for sale, so that the risk will be much smaller.

"The six-pin pill is already very good, even if it is Hua Taiyi, that is, this level, this is enough to prove that you still have alchemy talent." Gonggong Chen sighed in admiration.

Li Xuan said modestly: "The small ones can only be refined by luck occasionally, and they barely reach the balance of payments." ”

"Learn slowly, practice slowly, good days are still ahead." Gonggong Chen encouraged him, and finally began to get to the point, "Xiao Xuanzi, do you know that Chief Manager Lin has already stepped down from his position in the cold palace a few days ago, and I am afraid that in a month or two, General Manager Zhang will be able to officially succeed to the position of Chief Manager." ”

Li Xuan's eyes flashed when he heard this.

A few months ago, he heard Gonggong Chen talk about the fact that Manager Lin might leave the cold palace, and he was secretly beaten by Gonggong Chen.

Now this is finally the case.

"Father-in-law, can this position of chief manager, can Chief Manager Zhang really sit on it, and there won't be a big chief manager parachuted in above, right?" Li Xuan couldn't help asking.

Although the cold palace is at the end of the harem halls, the position of the chief manager is still a relatively important position.

There are five hundred taels of Yulu alone in a month, and the top must be carefully investigated.

Maybe a trustworthy person will be sent to manage the cold palace.

All of this needs to be decided by the Queen Xia in the harem.

Gonggong Chen shook his head: "No, before the queen sent Gonggong Lin to manage the cold palace, in fact, it had already violated the rules of the harem, and then the Mid-Autumn Lantern Festival happened, and the imperial concubine and some courtiers have already accused the queen of pretending to be a private servant, resulting in a decline in the prestige of the queen mother, at this time, it is impossible for the queen mother to send another person to grab the position of the chief manager." ”

"Moreover, our family has talked to Mr. Zhang a few times recently, and it seems that Mr. Zhang is determined to win the position of the chief manager, and I think he has reached an agreement with the queen in private."

When Li Xuan heard this, he couldn't help but tighten his lips.

It seems that the harem is not easy to mix, and if you are not careful, you will be thrown into the well.

Although the queen is the eldest daughter of the Xia family, the head of the nine families, the rest of the imperial concubines are also quite extraordinary.

These mothers all want to support their sons to ascend to the throne, and there will naturally be no shortage of open and secret battles between them.

"Then the boy will congratulate his father-in-law on his promotion to the position of chief administrator!" Li Xuan poured a cup of tea for Gonggong Chen.

Once promoted to the position of governor, not only was his authority greatly improved, but his salary was also increased from 10 taels to 100 taels per month.

This is another big income for Chen Gonggong.

The reason why Gonggong Chen came to find him should be that he saw that he had been promoted to the Bone Refining Realm, which was enough to threaten him, and he came to secretly beat himself again.

"Xiao Xuanzi, you are still young, there will be many opportunities in the future, hey, the father-in-law is different, I'm afraid I won't be able to do it for a few years, and I have to be like Father-in-law Xu, go out of the palace to retire, the father-in-law just wants to take advantage of these years to earn more pension money, Xiao Xuanzi, you should be able to understand your father-in-law, right?" Gonggong Chen sighed and sold miserably.

"Rest assured, the son will definitely not fight with his father-in-law for the position of head this time." Li Xuan said.

Although he also wants to sit in this position of manager, Gonggong Chen is really kind to him, and it is not easy for him to compete with Gonggong Chen.

What's more, he can make money by alchemy now, and he won't care about this mere one hundred taels.

The only regret is that I can't get in touch with a few more waste concubines and increase my experience points!

At present, his experience points have not moved for a long time, and if he wants to improve, he can only win by quantity.

"Forget it, Father-in-law Chen is not much younger than Father-in-law Xu, it's a big deal to wait a few more years, it's really not good, I can also use my identity as a manager to get in touch with the waste concubine under Father-in-law Chen's hands, and I don't care if I think Father-in-law Chen." Li Xuan pondered.

He is not an ungrateful person who shouts his father-in-law in front of people and invites his father-in-law to die behind his back, and he can't openly compete with Gonggong Chen for the position of governor.

When Gonggong Chen heard Li Xuan's words, he couldn't help but smile, and then he drank all the tea poured by Li Xuan:

"Xiao Xuanzi, it seems that we haven't fought for a long time, otherwise we will fight in your yard and let our family see how much you have grown."

I'm afraid I'll kill you by accident...... Li Xuan knew that Gonggong Chen was still a little worried about him, and wanted to test his strength, so he could only nod his head and agree:

"Then ask my father-in-law for advice."

The two quickly walked out of the house and into the courtyard.

Gonggong Chen put on a good posture, his muscles and bones sounded in unison, his palm was bent into eagle claws, and he grabbed Li Xuan with one palm.

"Xiao Xuanzi, be careful!"

Bang bang bang!

The power of this palm was so powerful that the air burst into flames.

If it was changed before, Li Xuan would still feel that Gonggong Chen's skills were extraordinary, but now that he is already a martial artist in the early stage of the Innate Realm, he can only say that he has to practice again at this point.

Li Xuan didn't dare to show too much strength, so he controlled his strength in the first time he entered the Bone Refining Realm, and used "Mighty Bull Demon Fist" to fight with Gonggong Chen.

In a flash.

The sound of flesh colliding suddenly resounded in the courtyard.

A moment later.

Li Xuan sold a flaw, was repelled by Gonggong Chen, and then took the initiative to admit defeat.

"Father-in-law, you should be old and strong, and children are not opponents." Li Xuan gasped.

Gonggong Chen smiled: "You have just entered the Bone Refining Realm, it is not easy to have such skills, and besides, you are still young, and you have a great chance of being promoted to the Innate Realm with hard training every day." ”

He roughly tested Li Xuan's strength, and felt a little relieved.

As for breaking through the innate realm or something, it was purely to comfort Li Xuan.

If the Innate Realm was really so easy to break through, he wouldn't be stuck in the Bone Refining Realm for ten years, and he wouldn't be able to make an inch!

With the foundation laid by the inferior martial arts of "Mighty Bull Demon Fist", if you want to break through to the innate realm, it will be much more difficult than other intermediate and superior martial arts.

"Thank you for your father-in-law's advice, the child will be diligent and dare not slack off." Li Xuan's expression was sincere.

Gonggong Chen nodded with satisfaction, and after chatting with Li Xuan for a few more words, he left slowly.

'It's so tiring to play fake boxing. ’

Li Xuan looked at the stone pier in front of him, his internal qi turned into action, and he pointed out.

In a flash.

The majestic internal qi surged out along the fingertips, as if turning into a sword qi.

Boom!

A thumb-sized pit appeared in the middle of the huge stone pier, four or five inches deep.

'The internal qi is released externally, and the majesty of my internal qi now is comparable to the middle stage of the innate realm, this "Huangting Thunder Prison Sutra" is really extraordinary! Seeing this, Li Xuan was secretly happy.

He has only opened up the two acupoints at the Spine Dragon now, and when all the acupoints are opened, I'm afraid that he will be able to defeat the Grandmaster Realm?!

Come to think of it.

Li Xuan was in a good mood, washed up, changed into clean clothes, and went straight to Manager Zhang's yard.

It's also time to ask Manager Zhang to help him ask Zhao Hao for a place for non-staff personnel in the East Factory.

When you become a supernumerary member of the East Factory, you don't have to risk going to the big night market to sell pills.

In addition, those Praetorian Guards rarely check the things of the eunuchs in Dongchang.

Of course.

The only trouble is that every time he leaves the palace, he has to give Zhao Hao fifty taels of silver.

If he leaves the palace frequently, it will inevitably arouse Zhao Hao's suspicions.

The best way is to wait for a certain amount of pills to be refined, and then leave the palace again and sell them.

Then use the money from the sale to buy lightning strike wood!

However, lightning strike wood is rare, and it will take some effort to get a way to buy it.

I can ask the He Dazhuang brothers and sisters to help inquire.

While thinking, Li Xuan quickly came to the front of Manager Zhang's courtyard, shouted a few times, and found that Manager Zhang was not there, so he was ready to go to other places to look for it.

On the road.

He suddenly heard a few idle and bored eunuchs and palace maids, whispering about what happened today.

"Did you hear about it, Zhao Niangniang just hanged herself."

"Huh? Which Zhao Niangniang? ”

"Which one else can it be, the daughter of Anyuan Marquis Zhao Feilong, Zhao Ying and Zhao Niangniang."

When Li Xuan heard this, his footsteps stopped!
