After pondering for a moment, he raised his eyes and asked: "The emperor, who combines wealth and power, why can't he ask for it? The emperor is doing this, shouldn't he be doing it for immortality?"

"Well, Yan Yan guessed seven or eight points. ”

"It's really ......" Feng Tianyan was also a little surprised, but he didn't expect that in this fantasy world, the emperor was also afraid of death, "What does that have to do with driving you princes out of the palace?"

"About six years ago, Taifu Gongsun Bo introduced a Taoist master who claimed to be an alchemist to the emperor, promising that the emperor could help him speed up his cultivation. Yan Yan Ke knew that if he cultivated to reach the Spirit King, the speed of aging could be slowed down, and his lifespan could reach two hundred years old. ”

"Well, I know. Feng Qianyan nodded in response, but his eyes flickered quietly: As a prince, shouldn't Xiao Yuchen be called "Father Emperor", how can he be called "Emperor" directly?

I only heard Xiao Yuchen continue to talk unhurriedly: "After this Taoist master entered the palace, he lived in a simple place, living in a very remote palace in the palace, and almost never showed up easily. On weekdays, there are only two children who serve food and clothing, and no outsiders are allowed to enter except for the emperor. ”

"It sounds a bit of a mystery of a master outside the world, hehe!" Feng Qiyan couldn't help but interject a sentence funny, some unfathomable people like to be so low-key, of course, there are also some liars who like to pretend to be high-minded, hehe. looked at Xiao Yuchen with interest: "And then?"

"In the following years, the emperor's cultivation improved very quickly. In the first year, Xiu Wei was promoted from a first-order Great Spirit Master to a third-order Great Spirit Master. Since then, the emperor has been convinced of it, almost to the point of obeying his words, and even named him a national teacher. If it weren't for the fact that he never interfered in state affairs, the emperor's move would have already caused dissatisfaction among the ministers. And in the next three years, the emperor's cultivation was promoted from a third-order great spirit master to a sixth-order great spirit master. But ......"

"But in the last three years, the speed of promotion has slowed down significantly, right?" The corners of Fengyan's lips hooked up a disdainful smile.

"Not only that," Xiao Yuchen's slender fingers seemed to tap on the table intentionally or unintentionally, "In the past three years, the emperor's cultivation has not been able to take a step forward, and he is still staying at the sixth-order Great Spirit Master, and his body is getting worse and worse. I heard that a few years ago, the national teacher finally found the reason why the emperor could not be promoted for three years. It is said that the palace was originally a place where spiritual energy gathered, and if there were too many cultivators, the spiritual energy would become thinner and thinner, and the cultivation speed would naturally slow down. Moreover, there are many princes, and the pure yang qi is too heavy, which suppresses the emperor's yang qi, making his body lack yang qi and weaken day by day. ”

"Pss

Xiao Yuchen nodded a little helplessly: "Hmm." ”

"Is it because of this that you drove out all the princes?" Feng Qiyan sighed, sure enough, since ancient times, it is the most ruthless emperor's family!

"But it's okay, in this way, it is much easier for this king to act. Xiao Yuchen didn't care at all.

Feng Qianyan asked curiously: "What about now? It's been almost three months, has it worked?"
