Chapter 223 [Dream]

Upon accidentally learning that his ancestor Zhao Xuansu had also joined Li Chengqian's army, Emperor Li Yang's face was filled with excitement.

At this point, he has finally let it go.

If even the ancestor is like this, what else can he do?
In Western Shu, Gu Jiantang has launched a cleansing operation.

With his strength, it would not be too difficult for him to clean up Western Shu and pacify the area.

Li Chengqian made this move in order to contain Beiliang.

The power of 250,000 cavalry should not be underestimated.

Even the immortals on land dare not underestimate him in the slightest.

If one wants to unify the world, the first step is to control Emperor Li Yang and use him to control the other lords.

The second step is to destroy Beiliang.

Either keep it for yourself, or...

The entry point is simple, it is Xu Fengnian.

"The reincarnation of the Great Emperor Zhenwu..."

A carriage slowly left Beijing.

The two horses guarding on both sides are the old man from the frontier and Zhao Xuansu.

The news that Li Chengqian had left Beijing quickly spread throughout the world.

The magic of the elixir will surely attract countless covetous people.

"Sir, Princess Suizhu is here with us."

Chunmei lifted the carriage curtain and looked outside.

A carriage followed not far behind, with an old eunuch driving the car.

It was Princess Suizhu.

Emperor Liyang offered it to Li Chengqian, but was rejected again.

The first time was an arranged marriage.

Rejected.

The second time, he learned that the ancestor was also serving Li Chengqian, so he bestowed the title of Princess Suizhu on her.

This time, it was given to maids.

But, it was still rejected.

Chunmei has extremely high standards and has high requirements for her master's maid.

Xuanyuan Qingfeng is barely acceptable, but he lacks training.

Princess Suizhu, totally disdainful.

When she learned that she was still rejected when she was granted the position of maid, the princess was furious.

However, after learning that the child following Li Chengqian was her family's ancestor who had regained his youth, she fell silent.

When Li Chengqian left Beijing, she followed him.

Not too close, not too far.

"This Princess Suizhu actually has some brains, but not much."

Li Chengqian said it casually and didn't take it seriously.

He really looked down on this woman.

Be a maid?
Who can be half as good as Chunmei?
Emperor Li Yang's intention was also very clear. He wanted to please Li Chengqian in order to keep his throne.

After all, his ancestors all served under him, so wouldn't he have a lot of control over the throne?
Moreover, his life is now in the hands of Li Chengqian, and he has no pressure at all whether to use it or not.

"Sir, where are we going now?"

Chunmei asked.

"Let's go to Huishan first."

*

*

Huishan and Longhu are facing each other from a distance.

Beside the cold pool.

A straw hat, a raincoat, and a dead wood fishing rod.

Fishing for a hundred years.

The fisherman is Zhao Huangchao, and he is fishing for the thousand-year-old giant salamander.

Zhao Huangchao went fishing once every ten years, just to catch a giant salamander.

A hundred years ago, Zhao Huangchao fought with Wang Xianzhi, which resulted in the backlash of his martial arts. Later, he retired to Longhu Mountain, where he sat by the bottomless pond every day, fishing for thousand-year-old dragon salamanders with scarlet wild fruits.

He fished once every ten years, and his fishing line became a hundred feet long. Even if the dragon and the newt had not come out, the bottomless pond water could still suppress the backlash for him, and he would not leave the mountain until he got the dragon and the newt.

Xuanyuan Qingfeng went to Longhu Mountain to find the thousand-year-old Jiao Niu, the big Jiao Niu.

Xuanyuan Qingfeng wants to find three spiritual creatures, a giant dragon and a salamander. Giant salamanders are not rare, but those with horns on their foreheads are rare.

The second is the red-backed salamander, and the third is the black-footed snow hyrax.

The latter two are relatively easy to find, but the giant salamander is something you can only encounter by chance.

Ancient books say that this newt will grow horns after living for a hundred years, and will transform into a mountain dragon after another five hundred years.

Xuanyuan Qingfeng did not expect to succeed in one go, as she had already searched the mountain dozens of times tirelessly.

However, what she didn't know was that the middle-aged Taoist priest fishing she met in the mountains was Zhao Huangchao.

He was fishing for a thousand-year-old giant salamander and was about to catch it, but unfortunately he was scared away by Yuan Tingshan's murderous aura.

Xuanyuan Qingfeng wanted to find this Jiao Niu because the key to the Xuanyuan family's treasure in the back mountain was a male and female thousand-year-old Jiao Niu. The direct descendants of the Xuanyuan family could only open it by dripping blood on the Jiao Niu. One of them died before, so if they wanted to open the treasure house, they had to find another one.

Zhao Huangchao suddenly raised his head and looked towards the sky.

A figure came through the sky.

"You look well."

Zhao Huangchao was quite shocked.

He saw at a glance that the vitality in Zhao Xuansu's body seemed to have lasted much longer than before.

"That elixir is really good. It can help with cultivation, heal injuries, and prolong life. It may also be useful for your injury. Why not give it a try?"

Zhao Xuansu stated his purpose.

Although he was controlled by the elixir, his life and death were not in his own hands.

However, as long as you can prolong your life, everything else is just a passing cloud.

However, he did not say a word about the disadvantages.

Others cheat on their fathers, but he cheats on his brothers.

When you suffer yourself, help others.

Enjoy the good times alone and share the bad times.

"Is this true?"

It is very effective in healing wounds, and Zhao Huangchao was quite interested in it.

If I can really cure his injuries, I am willing to pay some price.

"Does this elixir have a recipe? Is it complicated to make?"

Zhao Huangchao asked after a moment of silence.

As soon as these words were spoken, the smile on Zhao Xuansu's face suddenly disappeared.

"As a fellow tribesman, please don't make things difficult for me."

This statement greatly surprised Zhao Huangchao.

Before this, he always thought that the rumors from outside were groundless.

After all, how could the Zhao family's ancestor, a fairy on earth, work for others?
He knew how shameless Zhao Xuansu was.

The so-called effectiveness is nothing more than a panacea.

Looking back now, he seems to have a real desire to be effective.

This surprised him very much.

Zhao Xuansu's expression did not seem fake.

After taking the elixir, Li Chengqian's life and death are closely related to him.

Therefore, if he has to make a choice, he who has always been trying to prolong his life will definitely turn against his will and be ruthless.

Zhao Huangchao frowned slightly, remained silent for a moment, and asked:
"Is there any other solution?"

Zhao Xuansu shook his head.

He is now restricted by Li Chengqian in every way, so it is wishful thinking for him to seize the elixir.

"I recently noticed that the Liyang Qiyun Lotus seems to be withering. Did something happen in the palace?"

Zhao Huangchao asked again.

Although both are immortals on earth, their personalities are very different.

Zhao Xuansu is only concerned about himself and will do anything to achieve his goal.

He did not have much sense of belonging to the Liyang Dynasty and did not care much about it.

If it were easy, he would do it, but if it came at a price, he was unwilling to do so.

On the other hand, Zhao Huangchao has been nurturing the lotus of luck for Li Yang in order to consolidate the country's destiny over the years.

Such a person naturally has his own persistence and also wants to save face, so it is impossible for him to work for others.

He would have to think twice about the price of obtaining the elixir if he wanted to work under him.

Zhao Xuansu had some guesses about what was happening in the palace.

After a moment of silence, he still shook his head.

He has to think for himself.

I don't want to be deprived of another fifty years of life.

The Liyang Dynasty was actually dispensable to him.

"Forget it, I'd better continue fishing."

Wearing a straw hat and raincoat, he sat on a stone pier, holding the fishing rod in his hand and continued fishing.

"In that case, I won't persuade you any further."

Zhao Xuansu turned and left.

As it went away, a strange look flashed in the eyes of the old man in the straw raincoat.

"The recipe for the elixir, I am determined to get it!"

He has already done something to Zhao Xuansu.

Create an illusion.

As long as he meets the young man, he can drag him into the dream space.

In space, he is the god who dominates everything.

It’s easy to get the elixir recipe!
