The experience of living in the cold palace

The next day.

Li Xuan checked out of the room early, hid behind an ancient tree near the pavilion, and waited quietly.

About a quarter of the hour.

A man in smart clothes came to the pavilion holding a box in his hand.

He looked around and said to himself: "Sir, I have brought the things."

"Just put it on the stone table." Li Xuan still didn't show up.

"Excuse me, sir, what is in my box?"

""Huangting Thunder Prison Scripture" and Thunder Strike Wood." Li Xuan knew that the man was confirming his identity.

"Okay, I'll put the stuff here."

The man nodded slightly, placed the box on the stone table, and left slowly.

Wait until the man leaves.

Li Xuan then put on deerskin gloves, took the box away, and then used the "Tiangang Seven Star Steps" to disappear in an instant.

Not long after.

He came to a deserted alley.

After making sure no one was following him, he opened the box.

Inside was an old secret book and a piece of wood about one foot long.

The surface of the wood is charred black, and through the dark surface, it seems that there is a faint silver light shining inside, which is quite mysterious.

‘It seems that Shiyu didn’t trick me, and actually sent a piece of lightning-struck wood. ’ Li Xuan’s eyes flickered.

This piece of lightning-struck wood costs at least hundreds or even thousands of taels of silver, so I'll give it away.

Sure enough, everyone in this business is more profitable.

Skip this lightning-struck wood.

Li Xuan picked up the secret book of "Huangting Thunder Prison Sutra" again and quickly read it.

This is an advanced seventh-level skill. It records the routes of various internal energy movements and techniques for exercising the skills. It even has diagrams and various methods of attracting thunder and tempering it.

It can be seen that it must not be fake.

I don’t know how long it will take to practice before it appears on the panel.

‘I won’t practice for the time being. After I return to the palace, I will ask Empress Duanmu and the others for an innate realm technique. After comparing them all, I will decide whether to practice or not. ’ Li Xuan thought.

Although the "Huangting Thunder Prison Sutra" is extremely powerful after being refined, far exceeding the same level, it does have some drawbacks.

For example, with his current entry-level "Kunpeng Tuna Method", it is estimated that he cannot repair the damaged acupoints.

It must be promoted to at least Xiaocheng or Dacheng level.

In addition, in order to activate the power of thunder in the acupoints, you must undergo a thunder tempering process. This is also dangerous. If you fail, you will die!

Of course, the biggest problem is the lightning strike wood needed for practice.

Although Li Xuan can rely on experience points to quickly improve the progress of his training.

However, if there is a lack of lightning strike wood, it is estimated that the experience value will not be able to improve this skill.

after all.

What increases the experience value is the progress of cultivation, and cannot be made out of thin air to create the lightning strike wood necessary for cultivation.

Without the lightning strike wood, cultivation will have to be suspended.

This is a cycle with no solution.

‘To obtain enough lightning strike wood, you need at least tens of thousands of taels of silver. With my current meager salary, I won’t be able to get enough in a lifetime. ’ Li Xuan sighed and shook his head, ‘At present, we can only go back to the palace and make long-term plans. ’

He has the talent for alchemy. If he waits for a while and shows that he has broken through to the Xiantian realm, there will be more ways to make money.

By then, I might not be able to collect enough money to buy lightning strike wood.

Of course, these things need to wait until you confirm that you want to practice the "Huangting Thunder Prison Sutra" before planning.

‘Although I spent a lot of money on this trip, I got an excellent martial arts and lightning strike wood. When converted, I made at least several thousand taels of silver, which is not a loss. ’

Satisfied, Li Xuan took his little mare and prepared to go to his hometown.

The reason why he took leave was to go back to his hometown to pay homage. If he didn't go back, he wouldn't be able to explain it after the investigation from above.

Anyway, his hometown is in Huaqing Mansion next to Guangning Mansion. It is only a few days away and it will not delay him too much time.

‘Speaking of which, Qin Kun, the leader of the Black Wind Village, and Zuo He, the knife hunter, must be fighting now. I wonder what the outcome will be? ’ Li Xuan was curious.

However, he had no intention of watching.

There is another secret behind this fight, and it might lead to a big mess.

This kind of unpredictable risk should be kept as far away from nature as possible.

Li Xuan led the horse and quickly left the city, and then went straight to his hometown of Huaqing Mansion without staying for a moment.

Along the way.

He did see a lot of people from the world who came to watch the competition.

Obviously, this kind of showdown between the strongest on the innate list is quite attractive.

Li Xuan had already made up his mind not to join in the fun, so he ran hundreds of miles in one breath, and the sky gradually became dark.

‘Damn, I made some miscalculations. The place between Guangning Mansion and Huaqing Mansion is too desolate. I don’t know if I can get to the next town before dark. ’

Li Xuan took a rest at a roadside teahouse and asked the waiter where the nearest market town was. He was told that it was still more than a hundred miles away.

It was already five o'clock in the afternoon, and at the pace of a young mare, this hundred miles would take at least two hours.

Just when Li Xuan was resting.

"Chi chi chi chi."

Jinhua suddenly poked her head out of Li Xuan's sleeves.

The dull hair on the top of her head actually emitted bursts of light.

When Li Xuan saw this, his eyes flashed.

After eight days of getting along with Jinhua, he also knew that once a treasure appeared around him, the dull hair on Jinhua's forehead would glow.

This is not a characteristic of the Golden-haired Rat, but a special talent brought about by the mutation of the Golden Flower itself.

However, so far, Jinhua's treasure-hunting ability is relatively useless.

Because it can only explore special medicinal materials and some heavenly materials and earthly treasures for refining weapons within a few miles.

Basically, they are all things born in nature and grown in nature, which will make Jinhua feel and guide her there.

Like other high-grade elixirs, as well as powerful weapons such as spiritual weapons, Jinhua cannot sense these artificially processed materials.

We spent eight days together.

This was the first time Li Xuan saw the dull hair on Jinhua's forehead.

According to Jinhua, generally the scarier the treasures of heaven and earth are, the stronger the light of the stupid hair on her forehead will be.

‘Looking at the light from your stupid hair, it’s not bright. It seems that the treasures of heaven and earth sensed this time are not precious. But don’t give up, take me to find it. ’ Li Xuan said.

Hearing this, Jinhua nodded, and as fast as lightning, she jumped out of Li Xuan's sleeves.

After eight days of recuperation, Jinhua's injury has almost completely improved, at least running is no problem.

Li Xuan paid for the tea, got on the little mare, galloped, and followed Jinhua.

Until a moment later.

Jinhua left the official road and went into a small forest.

Li Xuan thought for a while, tied the horse to an ancient tree, and then followed Jinhua into the forest.

"Aren't you here yet? What kind of treasures can this place have?" Li Xuan raised his eyebrows.

Jinhua stopped, stood upright, and pointed forward with her forelimbs to indicate that she was almost there.

After walking about a few hundred meters further, a dilapidated ancient temple appeared in front of us.

"It won't be in this ancient temple, right?" Li Xuan couldn't help but look at Jinhua.

However, the next moment.

His expression suddenly changed, and he immediately grabbed Jinhua and hid in the jungle nearby.

Just after he hid his body.

"Clang clang clang!"

Not far away from the ancient temple, the sound of gold and iron could be heard.

Immediately afterwards.

A powerful voice resounded.

"Qin Kun, you can't escape, this is your burial place today!"
