Chapter 204 What Zhao Xizheng Wants

"Your Majesty, I, Zhao Suling, pay my respects to you!"

Zhao Suling, dressed in Taoist robes and with an immortal look, walked in slowly and bowed.

"Master Zhao, there is no need to be so polite."

Zheng Yixu asked, "I wonder why Taoist Zhao came to see me today?"

Taiyi Dao.

Because Zhao Suling, Zhuang Yuheng and others had served as officials and concubines in the court, they had long been tied to the Dayu court.

There is me in you and you in me, there is no difference between each other.

The Dayu court acquired a large number of warriors from the Shangwu Division, and its high-end combat power was greatly improved.

As for the warriors of Taiyi Dao, because they have been staying in the vicinity of the capital city for many years, their martial arts skills have been rapidly improved with the nourishment of spiritual energy.

For example, Zhao Suling has already been a martial artist at the innate realm.

There are other Taiyi disciples whose martial arts skills are also very fast in close combat.

For example, Zhao Suling's junior brother Zhao Sufeng is already a master-level martial artist.

Several other disciples have also entered the Grandmaster realm, and their overall strength has improved significantly.

Zhao Suling said: "Your Majesty, I entered the palace this time on the orders of my master."

"Oh? Senior Zhao Xizheng?"

Zheng Yi was a little surprised. After so many years, Zhao Xizheng finally came out again?
"I wonder what important matter Senior Zhao has that made him come here in person?"

Zhao Suling said, "My master knew that Junior Sister Yuheng was about to give birth, so he specially prepared a small gift and asked me to bring it to the palace and give it to Junior Sister Yuheng."

"Oh? A gift for Concubine Yu?"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Zhao Suling said: "In addition to some common Taoist rituals, my master also specially refined a protective magic weapon and gave it to the unborn child."

Zheng Yi was surprised and asked, "Senior Zhao can also refine weapons?"

"My master's cultivation has been stagnant for nearly a hundred years. When he was young, he traveled a lot and acquired a lot of skills in the art of cultivation. He knows a little bit about all of them."

Zhao Suling smiled and said, "My master once mentioned that more than 30 years ago, he traveled overseas to the cultivation world for several years and learned a lot."

"I see."

Zheng Yi said: "Then I would like to thank Senior Zhao on behalf of my unborn child."

"Your Majesty is very polite."

"I think Senior Zhao asked Taoist Zhao to come to me not just to give me gifts, what else is there?"

"Your Majesty is indeed very smart."

Zhao Suling said, "My master learned the other day that many natural treasures appeared in the capital area, and your Majesty has sent people to guard them."

"After my master found out, he wanted to use the spiritual sand in his hand to buy a purple spiritual ginseng from your Majesty."

Zheng Yi blinked his eyes and said, "Senior Zhao, why bother with this? Just take it directly. Don't talk about whether it's spiritual sand or not."

"My Dayu Zheng clan and your Taiyi clan are of the same blood. Why do you have to do this?"

Zheng Yi stood up and left quickly: "I am going to Yuheng Palace to see Yu Fei, Master Zhao, please do as you please."

"Mr. Chen, I remember there are seven purple ginsengs in total. Bring... five zhu and take them all back to Taoist Zhao."

"promise!"

Chen Liancang left quickly, apparently preparing to go to the place where the purple ginseng grew to pick it himself.

"Your Majesty! Oh, Your Majesty!"

Zhao Suling hurriedly chased after him and shouted, "Master is willing to exchange thirty spiritual sands and ten Huanglong pills for the purple spiritual ginseng. Your Majesty, please slow down..."

The two of them ran one in front and one behind, and soon ran a long distance, attracting other eunuchs and palace maids to catch up.

However, Zheng Yi had a smooth journey along the way, while Zhao Suling could only take out her token when passing through several palace gates. Some palace gates could not be entered, so she could only helplessly watch Zheng Yi's sedan chair go farther and farther away.

After getting rid of Zhao Suling, Zheng Yi also breathed a sigh of relief.

This was the first time he had ever rushed to give someone a gift and was afraid that the person wouldn't accept it.

"Your Majesty~"

Liu Chengen, who was standing by, panted and said, "Since Taoist Zhao wants to exchange some spiritual sand, why does Your Majesty refuse?"

"Old Immortal Zhao is a figure like an immortal, so the things in his hands must be very precious..."

Zheng Yi shook his head and said, "If you take the spiritual sand, it will be a transaction."

"If it's a deal, the money and goods will be settled, and I will get nothing."

"But if I give it to Master Zhao Xizheng, he will owe me a favor."

"In the long run, it will be much better than just a few dozen spiritual sands."

"I guess that old Heavenly Master Zhao Xizheng is already over a hundred years old and is nearing the end of his life. It is very likely that he wants the purple ginseng this time in order to refine an elixir that can increase his lifespan."

"With such a big favor, I'm sure Master Zhao Xizheng will not sit idly by."

Liu Chengen said sincerely, "Your Majesty is wise."

"but……"

Zheng Yi shook his head and said, "After all, Master Zhao Xizheng is the Jade Concubine's master, so it is only natural for me to give him something."

"As long as he is good enough to Concubine Yu..."

When Zheng Yi and others arrived at Yuheng Palace, a clear and loud cry was heard from the hall.

The child is born!
"Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations, Your Majesty!"

Lu Lin'er led several concubines to greet them quickly: "Sister Yufei, you have given birth to another prince for your majesty!"

"Your Majesty, you are truly a dragon and a tiger, with five princes in a row!"

"I want to see what those rebellious ministers have to say!"

"Hahaha……"

Zheng Yi laughed and said, "Please stand up, my beloved concubines. There is no need to be polite."

"Come, let me see~"

Zheng Yi picked up the child, who looked almost identical to the dead Zheng Chengqian, a wrinkled little monkey.

"Yuheng Palace, all palace servants, please watch!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

All the palace maids in Yuheng Palace knelt on the ground respectfully and shouted "Long live the emperor".

After teasing the child for a while, Zheng Yi handed the child to the wet nurse.

"My beloved concubines, please go back quickly. I will go to see Concubine Yu."

"Congratulations to Your Majesty!"

Zheng Yi walked into Zhuang Yuheng's bedroom alone. Like Cui Xiabing, Zhuang Yuheng recovered quickly after giving birth.

"I have met your Majesty!"

"No need to be so polite, my dear."

Zheng Yi came to the bed and sat down next to Zhuang Yuheng, saying, "My beloved concubine has given birth to a prince for me. You have made great contributions. Please tell me what reward you want!"

Zhuang Yuheng smiled and said, "I am very scared. I have everything in the palace and I don't need anything."

"Is that so? Then I will reward your relatives."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"By the way, my beloved, Taoist Master Zhao Suling has entered the palace and has given a lot of gifts, some of which are said to be sent by Taoist Master Zhao Xizheng."

"Master, has he come out of retreat?"

"Yes, and he also wants to use the spiritual sand to buy a purple spiritual ginseng from me."

Zheng Yi said: "Zhao Xizheng is my beloved concubine's teacher, how could I let him spend money?"

"Last time I received a message, there were seven purple ginseng plants growing. I picked five of them and sent them to Master Zhao Xizheng." Zhuang Yuheng's beautiful eyes were moved and she said, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Master is already old, and Purple Spiritual Ginseng is an essential spiritual medicine for refining the longevity elixir. I guess Master wants this too."

"On behalf of the master, I would like to thank your majesty!"

"What did my beloved say?"

Zheng Yi hugged Zhuang Yuheng and said, "Your master is my master. How could I be reluctant to let him go?"

"These are also a little gift from us younger generations."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Zhuang Yuheng was even more excited. After being affectionate for a long time, Zhuang Yuheng sat up with a red face and tidied up his scattered clothes.

Zheng Yi smiled and said, "My beloved concubine has become more healthy after giving birth to the child."

"Your Majesty is making fun of me~"

Zhuang Yuheng stood up and asked, "I wonder if Your Majesty has chosen a name for our child?"

"What good ideas do you have, my dear?"

"I will just follow your majesty's orders."

Zheng Yi nodded and said, "My beloved concubine's name is Yuheng. Yuheng is one of the Big Dipper and the brightest star among the Big Dipper."

"In that case, I will name our child 'Zhao', how about that?"

"Zhao means sun and brightness, which is similar to the name of Aifei."

"Zheng Chengzhao, Zheng Chengzhao..."

Zhuang Yuheng murmured, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the name you bestowed upon me!"

"Please take a rest, my beloved concubine. I have other things to deal with."

"I respectfully send you off to Your Majesty!"

After leaving Yuheng Palace, Zheng Yi went to see Concubine Chan who was about to give birth, Jie'er Yu'er, as well as Concubine Yin and Concubine Qing.

They are due to give birth in the second half of this year, just a few months away.

After they all give birth, the second three thousand world changes will come!
By then... I wonder what kind of world it will be?

After comforting them, he returned to the dungeon again.

Cui Xiabing is still working hard for Xuanjizi.

Most of the ice sculpture on Xuanjizi's body had been thawed, with less than one-third of the ice still freezing her.

"My dear, how is it?"

Cui Xiabing let out a long sigh and said, "Your Majesty, in half a month at most, I will be able to thaw all the ice sculptures on Master's body."

"Thank you for your hard work, concubine."

Zheng Yi said: "After it is completely thawed, you two masters and disciples will be able to meet."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

……

a few days later.

Mount Taizong, Golden Emperor Peak.

Zhao Xizheng looked at the five purple ginsengs that appeared in the five jade boxes in front of him in surprise and said, "Five purple ginsengs!"

"Then the boy will give all of them to me?"

"Didn't you want a piece of spiritual sand?"

Zhao Xizheng said respectfully: "Yes, Master, His Majesty said that these are all given to you as a gift from the juniors."

"I have always wanted to give the spiritual sand to Your Majesty, but Your Majesty went into seclusion to practice, and I cannot leave the spiritual sand behind, so I can only bring it back."

"Practice?"

Zhao Xizheng asked in confusion: "As I recall, that little bastard is already a Xiantian Realm warrior, right? What else is he practicing?"

Zhao Suling hesitated and said, "Master, His Majesty...seems to be practicing Taoism."

"Shit!"

Zhao Xizheng cursed directly: "I personally checked that boy, where did he get his spiritual roots? He doesn't even have any skills. What kind of cultivation is he doing?"

"Master, there is something I forgot to tell you."

Zhao Suling said: "Your Majesty seems to have dug up the tomb of the great ancestor and obtained the cultivation method from it. Chen Liancang has also embarked on the path of cultivation."

"what?"

Zhao Xizheng couldn't believe his ears: "What did you say? That kid dug up the tomb of Emperor Taizu of Dayu?"

"How dare you!"

Zhao Suling hesitated and said, "Master, I think that although His Majesty is sometimes impulsive, he is still very good to me, Taiyi Dao."

"Not only did they arrange positions for us disciples, they also recognized Taiyi Dao as the state religion, and even gave you five purple ginsengs!"

"As far as I know, among the spiritual medicines discovered, there are only five purple spiritual ginsengs..."

"Are you a dummy?"

Zhao Xizheng rolled his eyes at him and said, "If he accepts the spiritual sand, it will be a fair transaction and both the money and the goods will be cleared."

"But this brat actually asked you to bring back the Purple Spirit Ginseng without asking for anything else. This makes me owe him a big favor!"

"trouble……"

Zhao Suling said carefully: "Master, you think too much. Master treats me very well, and..."

"roll roll roll!"

Before he could finish his words, Zhao Xizheng waved him away: "How on earth did you do this as the head of the sect? You can't even see through this little trick?"

"That's all..."

He waved his hand and three jade slips shot out. Zhao Suling subconsciously grabbed them.

"This is the complete content of the 'Zhaoqi Zixia Gong', which also includes my annotations. Please give it to Yuheng."

"There are two other jade slips, one is "Detailed Explanation of Primary-level Pills" and the other is "Detailed Explanation of Primary-level Talismans". Give them all to him."

"Hey, this is because I'm in urgent need of purple ginseng to refine the longevity pill. It's really troublesome..."

"Disciple obey!"

Zhao Suling took the jade slip and respectfully left. Unexpectedly, Zhao Xizheng said again: "Wait a moment!"

"Master, do you have any other instructions?"

"Yuheng mentioned before that several kinds of spiritual medicine appeared in the capital region?"

"Yes, Master."

"What about other states and counties?"

"It seems...no."

"I understand, go down!"

Zhao Suling left respectfully, and Zhao Xizheng was indeed puzzled: "Strange, there are so many mortals in the Jingji area, how could so many spiritual medicines suddenly appear?"

"Suzhen!"

"The disciple is here."

Soon, a tall young man walked out of another cave with a respectful tone.

"You have been practicing with me for more than ten years. Now you have entered the late stage of Qi training. It is time to go out and gain experience."

Zhao Xizheng waved his hand and said, "From now on, you should go down the mountain to practice and check the spiritual medicines in the capital area."

"Also, take a look at the Gyeonggi region to see if there is anything strange."

"Disciple obey!"
