Chapter 106: The Struggle for the Throne
There is still a month to go, and the four courtyards are in the big competition.
Qi Ming has no money, it takes too much time to do the task, and it will take more than a month to come and go, and he can't leave.
Thinking about it, Qi Ming decided to be a refiner for a period of time to earn some extra money.
Thinking of this, Qi Ming left the Xuanjian Academy directly and returned to the Qi family.
After informing the Qi family patriarch and the elders, they welcomed Qi Ming's arrival very much, after all, it could add vitality to the family's refining workshop.
Sect Elder was also looking forward to Qi Ming.
Because he could feel from the last refining weapon that Qi Ming didn't do his best, there must still be something to dig up, and all his hopes for promotion were on Qi Ming.
With the addition of Qi Ming, the quality of the Xuan soldiers in the Qi Family Refining Workshop skyrocketed.
All of a sudden, the Xuan soldiers of the Qi family were directly sold out of stock, and it was difficult to find a soldier.
But.
Qi Ming only refines one Ice Knife and one Fire Sword every day.
The rest of the time is to continue to cultivate the Eight Hundred Profound Steps and refine the Divine Technique.
Baixuan's eight steps were cultivated by him to the third step, and he could move thirty meters in an instant.
Refining the Divine Technique made his spiritual power more and more condensed and powerful.
Most of the money earned by Qi Ming was used to buy Qi Condensing Pills, Body Forging Pills, and Beast Soul Crystals, and his strength was also steadily improving.
Twenty days later.
The Qi family almost monopolized the Xuanbing business in the entire imperial city.
The Xiao family and the Zhu family's plan to suppress the Qi family completely failed.
But.
Just a few days later.
Qi family.
Council Chamber.
A man wearing a brocade robe and looking like a housekeeper appeared in Qi's house.
The person who came was the butler of the third prince Zhao Chengwu.
Patriarch Qi Xuandao and the elders did not dare to be careless, and accompanied together.
"I don't know what the three princes will do. ”
Qi Xuandao asked cautiously.
"It's not a big deal, it's just that the third prince lacks a good weapon, and I hope that the Qi family refining workshop will refine a purple yang sword. ”
The butler of the three princes didn't raise his head, and said with a slight smile.
"What, Xuan-level high-grade Xuanbing Ziyang Sword, isn't this embarrassing for us? With the strength of our Qi family's refining workshop, we can't refine Xuan-level high-grade Xuanbing at all. ”
Qi Xuandao shook his head directly.
It's just deliberately difficult.
Although he didn't know Qi Ming's true refining ability.
But even the sect elder could only refine Xuan-level middle-grade Xuan soldiers, let alone Qi Ming.
In his impression, Sect Elder's refining ability far surpassed Qi Ming's.
The elders also nodded in agreement, and looked at the third prince's butler with an embarrassed face.
They have long known that the backers behind the Xiao family and the Zhu family are the three princes.
The third prince made a direct move.
"Isn't the Qi family able to refine the Xuan-level mid-grade Xuanbing Cold Ice Knife and the Flame Sword? If it can't be refined within three days, don't blame the three princes for being angry and directly sealing the Qi family refining workshop. ”
The butler of the third prince turned cold, snorted, and then turned to leave.
Seeing the three princes' housekeepers leave, Qi Xuandao and the elders were gloomy, and their faces sank like water.
"How is this good, the Xiao family and the Zhu family use the power of the three princes, this is to completely suppress our Qi family. ”
An elder said worriedly.
"But no, the three princes have a good reputation in the army, and they command the patrol battalion, and they have always coveted the throne, if the three princes ascend the throne and become the emperor, our Qi family will definitely have no way to live. ”
Qi Xuandao shook his head and said with a wry smile.
"And they only give us three days, even if we go to the refiner, I'm afraid we won't be able to find it. ”
An elder with white hair shook his head, his face full of bitterness.
"Now we can only let the sect elder give it a try, if it doesn't work, we have to close the refining workshop, it's a big deal to shrink our strength, and not compete with the Xiao family and the Zhu family. ”
Qi Xuandao groaned slightly, and then spoke.
"Patriarch, haven't you seen it clearly? The Xiao family and the Zhu family have already set their sights on our Qi family, and they will never give us the slightest way to live, if we take a step back, it will be an abyss from which we will never recover! Our Qi family will fall sooner or later. ”
One of the elders uttered a deafening voice.
"It's better to take refuge in the three princes, the three princes shouldn't refuse. ”
Another elder suggested.
"It's useless, the three princes already have the Xiao family and the Zhu family, and they don't need the Qi family anymore, but the Qi family will only become an obstacle for them, and they can't wait to get rid of it soon. ”
Qi Xuandao saw that things were clear, shook his head and said.
"In this way, our Qi family will surely be defeated!"
An elder with white hair sighed shortly.
"I'm going to discuss with the sect elder and let him try refining the Ziyang Sword. ”
Qi Xuandao said.
"That's all there is to it. ”
Immediately, the elders withdrew from the council chamber one after another.
Soon.
The sect elder got the news of Qi Annihilation Dao and wanted to refine Xuan-level high-grade Xuan soldiers.
Of course, Qi Ming also knew.
Zong Lao naturally knew that he was a little reluctant to refine the Cold Ice Sword and the Fire Sword, so what strength did he have to refine the Purple Yang Sword.
He could only put all his hopes on Qi Ming.
"Young Master Qi Ming, I don't know if you can refine the Ziyang Sword!"
Sect Elder stood beside Qi Ming respectfully and asked in a low voice.
"Yes!"
Qi Ming groaned slightly, nodded and said.
The difficulty in refining the Purple Sun Sword is that melting the Purple Sun Stone requires extremely strong firepower.
If you use a normal flame, it will take a lot of energy, resulting in a weak follow-up and no subsequent refining work.
But Qi Ming has a glazed pure flame in his body, and the temperature can reach thousands of degrees, and it is not a problem to melt hydrangeas.
Moreover, he also has the heaven-level high-grade refining tripod left by his master Ou Qizi, and the Hundred Treasure Refining Instrument Ding.
The bonus of the high-level refining tool to the refining weapon is very powerful, and it can increase the success rate by at least 30%.
Therefore, Qi Ming did not put refining the Ziyang Sword in his eyes.
Instead.
He became more and more worried about the attitude of the third prince, Zhao Chengwu.
He was born in the imperial city, so he naturally knew that Zhao Chengwu had great ambitions and had always coveted the throne.
Now, Zhao Chengwu is recruiting the Xiao family and the Zhu family among the four major families, and his power can be described as in full swing and his arrogance is monstrous.
If the relationship with Zhao Chengwu is not handled well, I am afraid that the Qi family will be wiped out.
Although his relationship with the Qi family is not good, after all, he has the same blood, and he can't bear to sit back and watch the Qi family fall.
Therefore, in the matter of treating the three princes, he decided to get closer if he could, and if he couldn't, then he could only support the other prince.
Zhao Chengwen, the eighth prince, is a good choice.
Zhao Chengwen is not a martial artist, he is elegant and extraordinary, and he treats his subordinates very well, and is known as a virtuous person.
Although Zhao Chengwen is also a prince, he does not have the power of Zhao Chengwu, but if the Qi family takes refuge in the past.
He believed that Zhao Chengwen would not refuse, and no one would resist the temptation of the throne.
Zhao Chengwu can't do it, and Zhao Chengwen can't do it either.
Thinking of this, Qi Ming had a plan in his heart, and told Qi Annihilation Dao and the elders of these words.
"Young Master Qi Ming is still thoughtful, if we take refuge in the Eighth Prince, the Third Prince will not dare to blatantly attack us. ”
Qi Xuandao's face swept away the gloom, and said with a smile.
The elders were also smiling happily, smiling from ear to ear.
