Chapter 5: Reappointment as Chief Elder
"This is the thousand-year-old crystal jade fire. â
Wen Yuxian fell all over his body and shouted in a lost voice.
Several alchemists shook their bodies again, and they broke out in a cold sweat.
Molten gold earth fire is indeed rare, but this thousand-year-old crystal jade fire is even rarer, it can be said that there is not a series between the two, it is difficult to see in all places, and it is difficult to find in Xuanmen.
If this Li Gaoren used this fire just now, then the speed of alchemy and the quality of the pill will only be another realm, four, five...... Even six top-grade pills.
Moreover, according to common sense, the alchemist's body can only have one earth fire, but this Li Gao actually has two fires coexisting in his body, which is even more incomprehensible to everyone.
Such a rare earth fire is definitely not an ordinary fire refining technique that can be driven, which shows that Li Gaoren's real fire refining technique must also be mysterious and impermanent.
If he went all out, everyone didn't dare to imagine what it would be like to refine a furnace of pills.
This is an extremely difficult elixir in Wen Yuxian's eyes, and it is not worth mentioning at all in the eyes of others.
At this moment, everyone suddenly realized that this Li Gaoren in front of him was by no means an ordinary mountain and wild person, but a genuine master of the world!
"I heard that Master Wen is the beloved disciple of Elder Nie, but unfortunately it is really disappointing in this mere alchemy realm, and he is really not worthy of being the apprentice of the former Shang Heavenly Kingdom's first earth-level alchemist. â
Li Mo said lightly.
"You ......"
Wen Yuxian was angry and angry, pointing a finger at him, but he only said one word but couldn't say anything.
The gap between the strengths pressed on him like a mountain, making him think he was smart, but he couldn't find a word to refute it at the moment.
The way of alchemy is also to respect the strong.
At this time, Xiahou Youde said slowly: "Lord Wen, I am willing to lose the bet, what else do you have to say?"
Wen Yuxian then remembered that there was another emperor present, so he quickly stood up, and he replied with a dejected face, "The minister has nothing to say." â
"Okay, since that's the case, then from today onwards, you will be demoted to the rank of Great Elder, and Li Gaoren will temporarily take your place. â
Xiahou Youde said.
"Yes. â
Wen Yuxian replied helplessly.
"Since you are no longer the Chief Grand Elder, then move me out of this mansion today. â
Xiahou Youde said again.
"Yes. â
The corners of Wen Yuxian's mouth twitched fiercely, but he didn't dare to disobey.
Then, Xiahou Youde and his entourage left the mansion.
As soon as he got out of the house, Xiahou Youde smiled and praised, "Li Gaoren is really amazing, and he really worried me just now." â
Li Mo said with a smile: "It's only because His Majesty said that he wanted to convince Lord Wen that he deliberately did this." â
Zhou Shilang patted his ass on the side and said: "Li Gaoren is so handy, this Lord Wen has to accept it even if he is not convinced, and there is no place for the ministers to criticize this matter when it spreads, after all, Li Gaoren wins with absolute strength." In this way, let the courtiers know that His Majesty is the heaven of this imperial city, and whoever wants to be placed in the throne will have to be lowered. â
Xiahou Youde also laughed when he heard this, and after this incident, he paid more attention to Li Mo's ability, and said to him after laughing, "I have fulfilled my promise, then the next thing will depend on Li Gaoren." â
"It will definitely live up to His Majesty's expectations. â
Li Mo bowed his hand slightly.
"Good. â
Xiahou Youde nodded and said to Zhou Shilang, "Immediately pass on my message and pass on the matter of Li Gaoren's appointment to the Tai Hospital." â
"Obey Your Majesty's orders. â
Zhou Shilang got the order and immediately rushed forward.
On the other side, as soon as Xiahou Youde and his party left, Wen Yuxian sat down on the chair like a deflated ball, his eyes like dead fish eyes.
"It's over, your majesty is here to test this Li Gaoren today, it's obviously coming towards Lord Wen. â
"I don't know what the origin of this Li Gaoren is, this ability is too scary. â
"Your Majesty is clearly killing chickens and making an example of monkeys, otherwise how could he suddenly help a person from the mountains and wilderness of unknown origin to this high position, this is an unprecedented thing. â
Several alchemists were gossiping, just panicking.
"Brother Yuxian, this matter is really bad, what should I do now?" Zhuang Xiangru also had a burning expression on his face, now that Wen Yuxian has been demoted, the matter of distributing the pill just now is completely in vain.
"I'm going to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. â
Wen Yuxian took a hard breath, then clenched his fist sharply.
"Yes, this matter must be notified to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, maybe there will be a turnaround. â
Zhuang Xingru suddenly realized.
So, the two immediately left the mansion and rushed towards the prince's mansion.
In the inner hall of the Prince's Mansion on the north side of the palace, two people are secretly discussing important matters.
One of them is a middle-aged man of thirty-six or seventeen years old, wearing a red jade crown on his head, wearing a golden silk python robe, his face is like a knife, and his eyes are like an eagle falcon, it is the crown prince Xiahou Wei.
The other person is a fifty-year-old man, with white eyebrows and a white beard, looking peerless.
This person is one of the many staff members in Xiahou Wei's mansion, and it is said that Yu Evangelism, who has a background in Zhongzhou's famous family and the Evil Valley.
Outside the hall are heavily guarded, all of them are elites in the palace, and there are many masters of the Heavenly Dome Realm, so it can be said that not even a fly can fly in.
At this time, someone from outside the hall hurriedly rushed in, whispered a few words to the commander of the guard, and the commander rushed in, and prayed at the entrance of the hall: "Your Highness, Lord Wen of the Tai Hospital and Lord Zhuang, the general of the Zuochengmen, ask to see you, saying that there is an urgent matter that needs to be reported. â
"Let them in. â
Xiahou Wei waved his hand.
"Do you want to avoid it?" said Pastor Yu.
"No need, both of them are confidants of the main hall. Xia Houwei said.
It didn't take long for Wen Yuxian and the others to enter the hall.
As soon as he came in, Wen Yuxian fell to his knees and shouted, "Please let Your Highness be the master of the ministers." â
"I said, Lord Wen, what are you doing, who else dares to bully you?"
Xiahouwei was confused.
Zhuang Xiangru said on the side: "Your Highness doesn't know, just now Your Majesty suddenly came to the Tai Hospital, which coincided with Lord Wen celebrating my promotion to general. â
"It's really a little inappropriate to drink and have fun during the day, but my father will only blame a few words at most, and he won't be too embarrassed by Lord Wen. â
Xia Houwei said.
Originally, the minister also thought so, but His Majesty brought a master who said that he was summoned by the Zhaoxian Order, and because of the minister's recent slackness, he wanted to fight with the master. Wen Yuxian said.
"Master, all the people summoned by the Zhaoxian Order are opportunistic, shouldn't Lord Wen still be afraid of such people?"
"The minister is not afraid, but ......" Wen Yuxian wanted to speak again.
"Well, it shouldn't be that Lord Wen Dou Dan was defeated in the hands of that person, right?" said Xiahou Wei in surprise.
"This person's Dan Dao level is indeed profound, and the minister has failed miserably. â
Wen Yuxian sighed, thinking that he had lived a free life in the past eight years, but he suddenly flew into trouble, and today's defeat was only afraid that it would spread throughout the entire palace in a short time, and he was afraid that he would become a laughing stock for others at that time.
Others will not praise how powerful this master is, but will only laugh at his defeat at the hands of a mountain outlaw.
This smile even stained his Wen family's reputation for generations.
"If you lose, you will lose, victory or defeat is common sense in soldiers, and Lord Wen doesn't have to take it to heart. Xia Houwei comforted.
"But the problem is that this Dou Dan is betting on the position of Chief Great Elder, and now His Majesty has already issued an edict to make Master Wen an ordinary Great Elder, and let that Li Gaoren become the Chief Great Elder. Zhuang Xiangru said on the side.
"What?"
Xiahou Wei's face sank when he heard this, "Father actually gave up the position of the chief elder of the hall to a person from the mountains and fields who didn't know the origin?"
The minister also felt that this matter was very inappropriate, but thinking about it, maybe some of the recent discussions of the ministers in the court reached His Majesty's ears, making His Majesty want to kill chickens and monkeys. â
Zhuang Xiangru said.
Xiahou Wei narrowed his eyes slightly, and said with a sneer: "Yes, I'm afraid that this possibility is very great, this old immortal thing really wants to sit on the throne for the rest of his life!"
"Your Highness, I really can't swallow this breath, and I ask Your Highness to make decisions for me. â
Wen Yuxian said loudly.
"This hall naturally wants to be the master for you, but with the temper of my father, whoever pleads will be hit by the knife, even if this hall is no exception. â
Xiahou Wei said lightly.
"Then why don't you really let that Li Gaoren sit in the position of the chief elder?"
Wen Yuxian clenched his fists and shouted.
"How long can he sit if he wants to sit?"
Xiahou Wei smiled deeply.
"Your Highness means that you are about to ascend the throne? However, Your Majesty has no intention of abdicating the throne. Zhuang Xiangru heard the meaning of these words and cautiously inquired.
Xiahou Wei let out a long laugh and said, "He doesn't want to give way, isn't there no way to ascend the throne in this palace?"
"Your Highness shouldn't be thinking about ......?"
Zhuang Xiangru's face changed slightly.
"Do you want to say killing your father and killing your king?"
Xiahou Wei grinned and said, "Of course not, if you do this, even if this hall ascends to the throne, wouldn't it be infamous to be infamy, and this hall should have a dignified posture and let that old thing obediently give me up his position!"
Wen Yuxian and the two glanced at each other, looking confused, and they didn't understand the meaning of these words.
At this time, Xiahou Wei said: "Senior Yu, how about explaining to the two adults?"
Pastor Yu said: "Two adults, what the old man wants to talk about will be related to the accession of His Royal Highness to the throne, and the two adults must know the weight of it. â
Wen Yuxian and the others hurriedly said: "The loyalty of the two of us to His Royal Highness can be seen by the sun and the moon. â
"Both of them are trustworthy people in this hall, and when I ascend the throne in the future, they will also be two important ministers, so there is no need to hide it from my predecessors. â
Xiahou Wei nodded.
So, Pastor Yu said: "It is not difficult to ascend the throne, but the difficult thing is how to justify it. Now, although it is impossible for His Majesty to seek the way of immortality, it is not a way to drag it out like this. And His Royal Highness doesn't want to bear the reputation of killing his father and killing the king. Therefore, the old decay gave His Majesty a strategy, that is, the imperial dragon changed hands. â
"The Imperial Dragon has changed hands?"
Both of them were taken aback.
Then I heard the preacher explain: "You should have more or less heard that in the depths of the imperial city, there is a dragon called the imperial dragon, this dragon is the ancestor emperor when he created the hegemony by the Jiuxuantian sect master himself, the ancestor emperor got the dragon qi of this dragon, which finally created the imperial industry, and this imperial dragon is also known as the storage zĂ i related to the fortune of the country, which is the symbol of the emperor. â
"We've heard of this, but isn't it true that there really exists this thing in the depths of this imperial city?"
Wen Yuxian and the two looked at each other and said.
"Absolutely, it's true. Pastor Yu said solemnly.
The two of them couldn't help but be taken aback again, they never expected that this strange story was actually true, and there was really an imperial dragon in the depths of the imperial city.
