Chapter 210 Taoist Priest
At the foot of Tianshou Mountain.

Lu Lin'er, Lu Xiangqing, Zheng Xuanyue, Wang Anshi, Li Changfeng and others looked at each other.

They never imagined that an investigation into auspicious things would actually lead to the emergence of an immortal!
Moreover, it seems that this immortal still lives here and regards this place as a forbidden area.

Even Chen Liancang...an old eunuch in the palace, seems to be a cultivator!

In the past, there were constant rumors in the palace that His Majesty was cultivating immortality and that immortals had appeared, but most people believed that they were just rumors.

I didn’t expect...it was actually true!

It’s really... so shocking!
Lu Xiangqing said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty is actually cultivating immortality? What should we do?"

Zheng Xuanyue also hesitated and said, "Yes, Your Majesty is practicing and you may not be seen for dozens of days at any time. How can we deal with national affairs?"

"Now that the battle of Xuzhou is imminent, some of our military orders must be approved by His Majesty. If this continues..."

Wang Anshi suddenly asked: "My Lords, have you forgotten where our cabinet status came from?"

"Your Majesty has already set up a cabinet and ordered us to govern the country for this purpose."

"It seems that His Majesty has foresight. Even if he stays in seclusion, the court's orders can be issued smoothly."

"This is... a wise move!"

Lu Xiangqing shook his head and said, "That's wrong. Although our cabinet can manage the world for Your Majesty, the entire Dayu still needs Your Majesty!"

"Otherwise... the country will no longer exist!"

The faces of several people changed drastically. These words... were truly outrageous!
Wang Anshi frowned and said, "Lord Lu, be careful with your words."

"We are the only ones here, so you can speak freely. But you must not let this word get out."

"I save it."

Wang Anshi bowed and said, "Your Majesty is in seclusion, and Tianshou Mountain is a forbidden area. I have some things to do, so I will take my leave now."

"I have some matters to attend to, Mr. Lu. Bye."

Zheng Xuanyue, Li Changfeng and others also said goodbye and soon left Tianshou Mountain with their people.

Only Lu Xiangqing and Lu Lin'er, a grandparent and granddaughter, were left.

"Grandfather, what should we do?"

Lu Lin'er covered her injured left cheek with a handkerchief, and a trace of blood was oozing out.

"I, we broke into Tianshou Mountain and were injured by the immortals of Tianshou Mountain. Your Majesty will definitely be very sad."

"It doesn't matter."

Lu Xiangqing said: "We are doing this for the sake of the Great Yu court. Your Majesty will not blame us."

"At worst, you can push all the blame onto me."

"Besides, I am old now, it is time for me to retire."

"grandfather……!"

"Don't worry, Lin'er."

Lu Xiangqing said: "Although your majesty is cultivating immortality, Dayu still cannot do without my Lu family."

"Even if I retire, there will still be people from my Lu family in the court, so you can rest assured."

"Yes, Grandfather!"

"One more thing."

Lu Xiangqing asked: "Your Majesty is cultivating immortality, have you already known about this?"

"Yes grandpa."

"Then why..."

"I asked someone to tell my grandfather, but he didn't believe it..."

Lu Xiangqing frowned and said, "Forget it, it seems that this is true."

"Lin'er, can you ask His Majesty if you can also repair..."

Lu Lin'er said awkwardly, "I, I asked His Majesty, but His Majesty said that I don't have any...spiritual roots. Yes, without spiritual roots, there is no way to practice."

"Spiritual roots..."

Lu Xiangqing stroked his beard and said, "It seems that the matter of cultivating immortals is true. My Lu family will also conduct a secret search to see if we can find an immortal cultivator to be our retainer."

"grandfather?"

"Ah."

Lu Xiangqing said: "Okay, Lin'er, the auspicious event is just a small matter. What you should do now is to cultivate Ji'er well."

"Since Your Majesty wants to practice Taoism, he will definitely ignore state affairs for a long time."

"And Ji'er is undoubtedly the most suitable candidate."

Lu Lin'er's eyes suddenly lit up: "Grandfather, you mean..."

"Ah."

Lu Xiangqing nodded and said, "Some things need to be planned as soon as possible."

"Yeah, I understand, Grandfather..."

……

Baiyujing underground palace, quiet room.

Thick blood mist continued to pour out, and under Zheng Yi's hand gestures, it once again flowed into the Nine Infants Fruit of Reincarnation.

I don’t know how much time passed before the quiet room returned to peace again.

He picked up the Nine Infants Fruit of Samsara and took a look at it. As expected, there were very faint traces of blood in it.

Just like a trace of impurities appeared in the exquisite crystal.

But it is this trace of impurities that makes the entire crystal more attractive.

“It seems that once the Samsara Nine Infants Fruit is fully filled with blood essence, the blood sacrifice of this Samsara Nine Infants Fruit will be successful.”

"By then, I don't know if it will grow out?"

"call……"

After taking a long breath, Zheng Yi looked to his side again.

There, stood a figure in a black robe.

It is the puppet Xuan Ye!
At this time, the puppet Xuan Ye stood there in a daze, without any breathing.

But Zheng Yi's eyes were still full of surprise.

Because of the more than one month of seclusion, in addition to offering sacrifices of essence and blood to the Nine Infants Fruit of Reincarnation every day, he is also using the puppet Xuan Ye's sacrificial training method to practice it.

At this moment, the puppet Xuan Ye has been completely refined by Zheng Yi and can be controlled freely by him.

Unfortunately, this puppet Xuan Ye could not move, let alone fight, because he had no support from spirit stones.

Middle grade spiritual stone.

It would have to be at least a mid-grade spirit stone to support the puppet Xuan Ye in fighting for a quarter of an hour.

As for free movement, low-grade spirit stones will suffice, but the time will be greatly shortened.

No matter what, I have a treasure in my hand.

But the prerequisite is... you need spirit stones!
After stretching his body, Zheng Yi stood up and walked out of the quiet room.

The light for Liu Chengen to request a meeting had been on for who knows how many times, but Zheng Yi was so busy training the puppet Xuan Ye that he couldn't be distracted at all.

At this time, after the puppet Xuan Ye was successfully refined, Zheng Yi finally had time to go out and check.

"What did you say……?!"

When Zheng Yi called Liu Chengen and learned what had happened in the past few days, given his temperament, he couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

"Tianshou Mountain changes?"

"There is spiritual energy that transforms into a phoenix?"

"The Queen led people to force their way into Tianshou Mountain?"

"There was a conflict between the Queen and Xuanjizi?"

"Chen Liancang also stopped the Queen?"

Zheng Yi was shocked by piece of news one after another. He never expected that the Queen would be involved.

"Where's the queen?"

"In Kunning Palace."

"Go to Kunning Palace!"

"promise!"

Soon, Zheng Yi arrived at Kunning Palace. Lu Lin'er, who had already received the news, was waiting outside Kunning Palace with a group of people.

"I have met your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty, I have seen you..."

Lu Lin'er led the others to salute, and Zheng Yi waved his hand to signal everyone to leave.

Only then did Zheng Yi discover that there was a red line on Lu Lin'er's left cheek, which was impossible to detect if you didn't look carefully.

"Lin'er, what's wrong with your face?"

Lu Lin'er's face changed, and she gritted her teeth and said, "Your Majesty, please make the decision for me!"

"A few days ago, a phoenix suddenly appeared on Tianshou Mountain. I and my servants thought it was a good omen, so we sent someone to investigate."

"But who would have thought that... there would be a woman on that mountain blocking the road, and even beating me..."

"Be bold!"

The bold voice frightened Lu Lin'er so much that she immediately knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty..."

"I have said that Tianshou Mountain is a forbidden area. No one is allowed to go up the mountain without my order!"

Zheng Yi said indifferently: "You actually brought people up the mountain in the name of auspiciousness, what is your intention?"

Lu Lin'er said quickly, "Your Majesty! I am doing this for the sake of our Great Yu Empire."

"Auspicious events can ensure good weather and a good harvest for our country, and can also dampen the morale of the rebels. That's why I discussed this with the important officials in the court. I did this all for Your Majesty..."

Zheng Yi shook his head and said, "I have already said that I was appointed by heaven and will live forever."

"I am Dayu, and I am also blessed by destiny. This is just a small auspicious sign. What's the big deal?"

"And... did you really go up the mountain to inquire about the auspicious omen?"

Tianshou Mountain not only houses Taizu's mausoleum, but also Zheng's treasure house, three major formations, Emperor Wen's mausoleum which is currently being excavated, and many other secrets.

If it were discovered by Lu Lin'er, Lu Xiangqing and others, it would definitely spread.

By then, no one knows how much speculation and prying will be caused.

Lu Lin'er said quickly, "Your Majesty, it is absolutely true. We are really here for the sake of auspiciousness. Please understand, Your Majesty!"

Zheng Yi looked at Lu Lin'er carefully, with a lot of thoughts in his mind, and then said: "Lin'er, it's not that I don't trust you, but Tianshou Mountain also has many secrets of mine, which are related to the prosperity of Dayu."

"I am afraid that you will be deceived by others."

"His Majesty……"

Lu Lin'er raised her head, tears streaming down her pretty face: "I, I have done everything for Your Majesty and Dayu. Since, since that's the case, then, then I will seal myself in Kunning Palace and will not go out anymore..."

"That's not necessary."

Zheng Yi helped her up and said, "As the master of the harem, how could I punish you if you didn't do anything wrong?"

"Then you will stay in the harem and not leave without my order. How do you think?"

Lu Lin'er bowed her head and said, "Your Majesty, I will obey your command."

"Okay, I still have some important things to deal with, Lin'er, you can rest first."

"Congratulations to Your Majesty!"

Looking at Zheng Yi's departing back, Lu Lin'er murmured, "Your Majesty, you haven't said how to deal with that crazy woman yet..."

She subconsciously touched her left cheek and murmured, "Is the wound on my face in vain?"

Zheng Yi arrived at Tianshou Mountain as quickly as possible and met Chen Liancang and Xuanjizi.

The first thing he asked when they met was: "Tianshou Mountain, what happened?"

Chen Liancang shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, I don't know, but I'm sure Senior Xuanjizi should know something."

Xuanjizi nodded and said, "I have guessed it, but I am not sure about the specific situation."

"Oh? I wonder what the reason is?"

"The spiritual energy is surging and turning into sound. This means... a spiritual vein has emerged in Tianshou Mountain!"

"But I really don't know where this spiritual vein is, how to discover it, and how to use it."

Xuanjizi smiled bitterly and said, "If Taoist Tianxingzi were here, it would be easy to talk about it."

"Tian Xingzi?"

Zheng Yi asked in confusion: "Who is this person?"

"Tian Xingzi..."

Xuanjizi said with full admiration: "Daoist Tianxingzi, you are the descendant of Tianji Sect, one of the orthodox sects more than 3,000 years ago. This sect has very few disciples, but every disciple is good at divination, fortune-telling, blessing spells, and even spying on the way of heaven and using power to suppress others. They are also good at Tianxing Fengshui and formations. They are first-class figures."

"I once had a conversation with him on the Canglong River and learned that he had also come to the capital."

"If we can find Fellow Daoist Tian Xingzi, the matter of the spiritual vein will be easily obtained!"

"Oh? Taoist Priest Tian Xingzi has come to the capital?"

Zheng Yi's eyes suddenly lit up and he said, "Mr. Chen, quickly order the Shadow Guards and the Embroidered Uniform Guards to go out and look for Taoist Priest Tian Xingzi..."

"Repay...!"

At this moment, a Jinyiwei figure ran over quickly and said respectfully: "Your Majesty! There is an old Taoist who calls himself 'Tianxingzi' at the foot of the mountain. He is holding a handwritten letter from the old Taoist priest Taiyi and wants to see Your Majesty!"

"Master Tianxingzi? Please come in!!!"
