After Fang Yuan's retreat for more than a month, that is, the day after Ji Jingtian had invited Master Yin, Xiang'er suddenly came to the door of the retreat room, opened a mechanism, and gently pulled the rope inside, which went straight into the secret room and was connected to a small copper bell.

Immediately, Fang Yuan's voice sounded in Xiang'er's mind: "Is there something wrong with Xiang'er?"

Xiang'er had already returned to the Qingtian Palace half a month ago, and Fang Yuan had also made a special trip to the customs for this purpose, teaching her the Taishang Qi Cultivation Technique, and by the way, he explained about Qin Shu.

The reason why he didn't pass on Xiang'er's Qiankun Divine Dao Technique was because he had other plans, although the Taishang Qi Cultivation Technique was far less sophisticated than that Qiankun Divine Dao Technique, it was more suitable for practicing Qi, and it also had some unique characteristics, Xiang'er's cultivation of this skill would be of great help to Fang Yuan's future plans.

Although it was separated by a thick copper door, Fang Yuan's voice still clearly came into Xiang'er's "ears", and when Xiang'er heard this, she bowed to the copper door and said, "Master, Mr. An asks to see you." ”

"What is he doing here?" Fang Yuan asked.

"I don't know, it seems that there is something urgent. Xiang'er bowed and replied.

Fang Yuan hesitated for a moment, and then said, "That's it, you bring him here." ”

He is now in a state of deep cultivation, even when he was talking to Xiang'er, he didn't stop, he just divided part of his mind and used his divine sense to transmit sounds, because this state of deep cultivation has the effect of half the effort on cultivation, once it stops, the next time he wants to enter, it will take at least a few days.

And because his cultivation is still shallow, and his soul body has been hit hard by forcibly urging the divine core last time, this kind of multi-purpose, while cultivating deeply, using the means of divine consciousness transmission, he is also very difficult to use now, if it is not necessary, he really doesn't want anyone to disturb him.

"Yes, Master. Xiang'er bowed and retreated, and then it didn't take long for her to bring over an old eunuch, who was the head of the East Factory, An Shide.

An Shide looked at the bronze door in front of him suspiciously, and then looked at Xiang'er beside him suspiciously.

But Xiang'er looked at her nose, nose, mouth, and heart, and she didn't know what she was thinking, so she didn't notice An Shide's gaze at all.

It wasn't until after the tea was over that An Shide finally couldn't help but ask Xiang'er: "Miss Xiang'er, ancestor he?"

Xiang'er looked at An Shide suspiciously, then came to her senses, stepped forward to open the mechanism again, and pulled the rope inside.

Immediately, Fang Yuan's voice sounded in An Shide's mind: "Little Dezi, what's the matter?"

An Shide was suddenly startled, hurriedly knelt on the ground, bowed his head to the bronze door and said, "An Shide sees the ancestor." ”

"Get up, and say something. Fang Yuan's words were a little impatient.

"Xie Lao Zu. An Shide stood up from the ground respectfully, and then bowed down and said, "Ancestor, the slave has something important to report." As he spoke, he looked at Xiang'er who was standing next to him, obviously he didn't want Xiang'er to hear what he wanted to say.

An Shide's every move at this time was naturally under Fang Yuan's divine sense, seeing him like this, Fang Yuan thought about it and sent a message to Xiang'er: "Xiang'er, go get busy." ”

"Yes, Master. Xiang'er bowed and retired.

After Xiang'er's figure disappeared at the end of the passage, An Shide said in a panic: "Ancestor, something is wrong!" and then narrated some of the things that had happened recently.

After a long time, the bronze door of the secret room slowly opened, and Fang Yuan, dressed in a gray robe, stepped out of it, his face was thin, pale and beardless, his silver hair was high, and his sword eyes were like lightning, a little younger than before.

This was the first time An Shide saw Fang Yuan's young face, but he only glanced at it, then bowed down and didn't dare to look at it again, thinking: "Then Li Xunhuan is really pretending to be an ancestor." ”

It turned out that not long after Dongchang was ordered to investigate the attack on the crown prince, An Shide began to suspect Qingtian's head, because the clothes Fang Yuan wore when he went down the mountain that day were the same as those described by the witnesses Li Xunhuan's dress, and except for the needless, both of them were full of white hair, plus they suddenly appeared, their martial arts were extremely high, and they could take a person over the city wall of the Yangdu without borrowing any strength, all of which were very consistent with the Qingtian Ancestor.

As for the young face, An Shide himself has two guesses, one is disguise, but among the witnesses who had contact with Li Xunhuan that day, there were many people with high skills and rich experience in the rivers and lakes, but no one noticed that Li Xunhuan's appearance was inappropriate, so the disguise can basically be ruled out.

And the second possibility in addition to the disguise is: the Optimus Ancestor has rejuvenated.

Thinking of this possibility, An Shide couldn't help but feel hot in his heart, would a person rejuvenate for no reason? Obviously not, so why would the Qingtian Ancestor suddenly rejuvenate?

According to his guess, the biggest possibility of this is: "The Ancestor has broken through the realm of the Great Grandmaster!"

What does it mean for Optimus to break through the Great Grandmaster realm to An Shide? The world is invincible? No, the Optimus Ancestor is already invincible in the world, not to mention that he is not invincible himself. Although he Anshide was very envious of the invincible strength, he was even more envious of the other party's long life.

An Shide was originally an orphan, and he entered the palace as a eunuch at a very young age, and was sent to the Qingtian Palace as a handyman, and he can often see the ancestor of Qingtian.

With the passage of time, Anshide grew up day by day, from a thin child, to a handsome youth, and from a handsome young man, to a steady middle-aged, but the ancestor of Qingtian has never changed in any way, still as he saw at first sight when he first went up the mountain, his beard is white, his face is red, except that he is still a little sloppy, decades have passed, and there is not even a trace of wrinkles on the other party's face.

It was from then on that he started the idea of the Optimus Technique, because when he was young, by chance, he learned that in addition to the Mixed Yuan Boy Gong, the Ancestor of Optimus also created a set of exercises called the Taishang Qi Cultivation Technique.

An Shide is very familiar with the Mixed Yuan Boy Gong, because since the day he went up the mountain, he has practiced this skill, and obviously does not have the effect of immortality, so his mind is on the Taishang Qi Cultivation Technique, and the Taishang Qi Cultivation Technique, Qingtian has never passed on to anyone.

In order to let Qingtian pass on his Taishang Qi cultivation technique, An Shide can be said to have done his best, slipping his beard and slapping the horse, and obeying everything, he almost regarded Qingtian as an ancestor, even after becoming the head of the East Factory, he still flattered Qingtian as before, and he would go up the mountain to ask for peace during the New Year's holidays, and even the thirteen female apprentices that Qingtian received before were carefully selected by him, and their qualifications, appearance, and background were all the best choices.

As the so-called Emperor Tian lived up to his wishes, he finally let him get the Taishang Qi Cultivation Technique of Qingtian in the year of the sixtieth year, that is, the scroll that Fang Yuan gave him when he first went down the mountain.

After he cultivated, he was also pleasantly surprised to find that this Taishang Qi Nourishing Technique did have the effect of prolonging life, but the effect did not seem to be significant, which he attributed to the fact that the cultivation time was still short, so the effect was not obvious.

An Shide is in charge of the East Factory, although his duty is to supervise the rivers and lakes, but for other aspects of the news, in fact, he has also been involved in collecting, such as the current saint wants to take back Qingtian Peak, and calculate the matter of Qingtian, he has already gotten the news in advance, but he did not reveal a single bit to Qingtian, which has been living in a shallow way all these years, and even he is difficult to see the reason, but also because he is not optimistic about Qingtian.

Twenty years ago, the battle between Qingtian and the sword god Wei Tianzong, although Qingtian won in the end, it also proved that although the Qingtian Ancestor was strong, he was not really invincible, because the sword god fought with Qingtian for several hours that day, and he took the initiative to retreat until his internal strength was weak, and since then there have been rumors in the rivers and lakes that only two Wei Tianzong can defeat the Qingtian Ancestor!

Is there two Wei Tianzong in this world? No, but there are so many great masters who are about the same level as Wei Tianzong, as long as any of them join forces with Wei Tianzong, the Qingtian Ancestor will definitely be defeated.

What's more, An Shide has long heard the rumors, the emperor who has been retired for many years may break through at any time, once the emperor breaks through to the realm of the great grandmaster, not counting the Qingtian Ancestor, there are also two great masters on the royal side, that is, the emperor Ji Caifeng and the sword saint Yuwen Junliang.

The two great masters can join forces to kill the same level, which is not only a legend of the rivers and lakes, but also a consensus of the rivers and lakes, and the emperor has the same realm of hegemony as the Holy Emperor! It is said that it has a restraint effect on all other artistic conceptions.

Although for unknown reasons, he really felt the determination of the royal family to be quick in addition to Qingtian, and his choice at that time was: not to help each other, wait and see what happens, after all, the royal family is powerful, he openly stepped forward, in addition to being a villain in vain, in fact, it can't help much, it is better to continue to maintain his image of honesty and integrity.

But all of this is based on the fact that Optimus is still the Great Grandmaster, once the Optimus Ancestor breaks through the Great Grandmaster and reaches that legendary realm, then everything will probably have to be overturned and restarted.

After suspecting that Qingtian had broken through the realm, Anshide hesitated, looked forward and backward, and pondered left and right for many days, until yesterday he heard the news that the emperor had secretly met with Master Yin, and knew that he had no time to hesitate anymore, so he made a decision that he would stand by Qingtian's side in this coming storm.

That's when he went up the mountain to meet Qingtian and tell the truth.
