Chapter 119 Madam Shen: Your Highness, I will prepare the bed for you tonight

On the way back to the palace, Zhou Haochen recalled Yi Si's words.

Fairy Bingpo, dead?
Then when Tai Shuqing attacked that day, who was it who cooperated with Helian Hai and scared Tai Shuqing away?
After thinking about it, Zhou Haochen spat, his tone quite dissatisfied.

"This Yi Mi is really cunning."

"We have already reached a cooperation agreement, but you are still fooling me over such a trivial matter."

When Zhou Haochen returned to the palace, he saw Qin Qiulan's pretty face was solemn and covered with frost.

As for Helian Hai standing aside, he had a faint smile on his face and was playing with three paper figures in his hands.

The aura of the paper man made Zhou Haochen feel somewhat familiar.

"Your Highness, just now, Elder He found three paper figures in the palace."

"They are all paper figures from the Shenxiao Sect."

Zhou Haochen's eyes showed a hint of understanding.

It turned out to be the paper figurine of Elder Zhou from Sixth Brother’s mansion. No wonder the aura seemed familiar.

After the paper figurine was destroyed last time, the activity was dormant for a while.

Now he is active again. Could it be because the people from Shenxiao Sect came to Beijing and he feels that he is capable again?
"Your Highness, the Shenxiao sect is going too far!" Qin Qiulan said angrily.

"Let's keep this account for now!"

"but……"

"If there is a chance, I will also do something for the Shenxiao Sect."

Zhou Haochen thought for a while, shook his head and said that he had no way to deal with the Shenxiao Sect at the moment.

But he is not the kind of person who won't fight back when being bullied.

Elder Zhou used paper people to hide in the palace. This practice was quite disgusting.

It's like the U.S.'s aircraft carrier formation, jumping back and forth in the South China Sea, in and out, out and in again.

But when you get serious, he doesn't dare to come in and can only linger outside.

The next day.

Early in the morning, Zhou Haochen was awakened by the burning sensation between his eyebrows.

After a moment, Zhou Haochen woke up instantly from his sleep.

The hexagram has appeared!
Zhou Haochen quickly looked inwards into his sea of ​​consciousness and saw that the Bagua diagram was glowing with golden light and three hexagrams appeared.

[Wind and Thunder: The best hexagram, at 15:30 noon, go to the Tiger Leaping Gorge in Xiniu Mountain, Wanping County, and discover that the ground veins have changed. From others, you will get a third-grade opportunity, which is very auspicious! ]

[Landmine: Middle-middle hexagram, practice in seclusion in the palace for a whole day, no gain and no danger, flat! ]

[Fire Wind: Middle-lower hexagram. Go to Sunset Peak of Xiniu Mountain in Wanping County. Encounter the followers of the Blood Evil Sect. They chase you and you are in danger. Minor disaster.]

After reading the three hexagrams, Zhou Haochen raised his eyebrows.

The geomagnetic changes in Wanping County have been very frequent recently.

First, the Beidou Secret Realm came into being, and now a third-grade opportunity has appeared, as if it were a treasure land.

In addition to the third-grade opportunity, what impressed Zhou Haochen most about the Shangshang Gua was that this opportunity was snatched from someone else.

It is still a good omen to seize the opportunity from others.

It seems that the opponent who is competing with me for the opportunity is not worth mentioning.

Zhou Haochen thought secretly in his heart.

In Xiniu Mountain, in addition to the third-grade opportunities, there are actually followers of the Blood Evil Sect, which surprised Zhou Haochen slightly.

The Blood Evil Sect worships the Blood Sea Angry Lord, one of the six ancient gods.

It is said that the first leader of the Blood Evil Sect received divine inspiration from the Blood Sea Angry Lord, comprehended the way of bleeding cultivation, and founded the Blood Evil Sect.

The blood cultivation path is just one of the many unorthodox paths.

In terms of foundation, it is far inferior to the four major orthodox paths of martial arts, Buddhism and Confucianism. Moreover, the cultivators who practice blood cultivation will have side effects and become bloodthirsty like vampires.

Although the blood cultivation path had many hidden dangers, the Blood Evil Sect still developed and spread for tens of thousands of years until...

It was not until ten years ago that Emperor Qianyuan personally led the army to destroy the Blood Evil Cult's lair.

The Blood Evil Sect, which had been passed down for tens of thousands of years, was destroyed.

After that, there was no more news related to the Blood Evil Cult.

Because of this, Zhou Haochen was very surprised when he saw the remnants of the Blood Evil Cult in Xiniu Mountain.

These remnants of the Blood Evil Cult are really bold, actually hiding under the nose of Emperor Qianyuan.

After Zhou Haochen thought about it for a while, he came up with an idea.

After taking the opportunity in Xiniu Mountain, he turned around and reported it to the remnants of the Blood Evil Cult, giving them a stronger force.

"Mr. He, come with me to Wanping County."

Wanping County is a county town attached to Yujing City, and is very close. When Zhou Haochen arrived in Wanping County, it was still two hours before the third quarter of midnight.

When he had some time, Zhou Haochen went to see the situation at the orphanage.

"Greetings to Your Highness!"

"Mrs. Shen, please stand up." Mrs. Shen bowed gracefully, with a plump figure and exquisite curves.

After taking a sip of the fragrant tea, Zhou Haochen asked.

"How is the workhouse doing now?"

"Thanks to your reward, Your Highness, the situation of the orphanage is much better now than before."

"In addition to Wanping County, women also adopted orphans from several nearby counties."

"In addition, those orphans who have grown up have also entered your shop to help out. Your Highness, you can be said to be their reborn parent."

Mrs. Shen talked about the situation in the orphanage, and Zhou Haochen listened patiently.

Ever since he started helping the orphanage, Qin Qiulan opened a shop in Wanping County, and all the clever orphans in the orphanage were recruited as helpers.

After listening to Mrs. Shen’s report, Zhou Haochen continued to ask.

"Has Magistrate Chu given you any trouble?"

Mrs. Shen hesitated for a moment and murmured.

"No!"

"County Magistrate Chu is very polite to me!"

Zhou Haochen was not surprised. He thought that Chu Mengfang had learned his lesson after being beaten by him.

However, Mrs. Shen's mood was very uncertain and she couldn't figure out the purpose of Zhou Haochen's inquiry.

She had also heard about the rumors going around in the Wanping County government office these days.

What do you mean that I am the Thirteenth Prince’s exclusive lover?

What's wrong with me being so fickle and unable to control my loneliness?

When she first heard these rumors, she was so angry that she couldn't eat. She wanted to explain to all the people in Wanping County one by one.

But later on, the orphanage went smoothly and encountered no trouble.

Even if you get into trouble, the officials in the county government will take the initiative to help.

Mrs. Shen quickly understood the source of this change in attitude - she was regarded as the Thirteenth Prince's concubine, which was why she received such treatment.

Afterwards, Mrs. Shen no longer defended herself against the rumors in Wanping County and silently accepted them.

When Mrs. Shen saw the Thirteenth Prince coming to visit today, she began to feel worried.

Thirteenth Prince, you don’t really have that kind of intention towards me, do you?

I am already an old woman of thirty years old. How could His Highness like me?

Is it really as the rumors say, that a wife is not as good as a concubine, a concubine is not as good as stealing, and stealing is not as good as occupying someone else's wife?

After exchanging pleasantries, Zhou Haochen saw that it was almost time, so he got up and left the orphanage.

Before leaving, Mrs. Shen couldn't hold back her doubts and asked.

"Your Highness, are you coming tonight?"

at night?

Zhou Haochen was confused and said subconsciously: "I have something important to do today, so I won't come to the orphanage."

"Mrs. Shen, please pay more attention to the affairs of the orphanage."

Hearing Zhou Haochen's reply, Mrs. Shen patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Sure enough, your highness is a gentleman!"

"Why would you covet someone else's wife's body?"

"They are all officials from Wanping County, maliciously slandering Your Highness."

……

Three quarters past noon.

Xiniu Mountain, Tiger Leaping Gorge.

Calm and calm!

No chance!

There is also no rival competing for the opportunity as shown in the hexagram.

It is no different from an ordinary valley.

Just when Zhou Haochen was wondering, Helian Hai suddenly spoke.

"Your Highness, are you really not going to the workhouse tonight?"

Zhou Haochen: ???

Going to the workhouse at night?

Is something going to happen in the workhouse tonight?
"Mr. He, why do I have to go to the poorhouse tonight?"

"Tsk tsk - Your Highness, you have failed the beauty's heart!"

"Didn't you hear Mrs. Shen's affectionate tone just now? I'm afraid your body is about to turn into water."

"As long as Your Highness begs for help, Madam Shen will definitely offer herself to me." After Helian Hai finished speaking, Zhou Haochen couldn't help but cough twice.

What and what?

Are you that kind of person?
Although Mrs. Shen is pretty and has the temperament of a mature young lady.

But if you need a woman, there are three beauties at home.

Lolita style, mature lady style, everything is available.

"Mr. He, I am not Cao Mengde, and I do not have Mengde's legacy."

"Who is Cao Mengde?" Helian Hai asked subconsciously.

"A man who likes married women..."

Before Zhou Haochen could finish his words, suddenly, an invisible wave rushed out from underground.

In the blink of an eye, he swept all around.

In this invisible wave, Zhou Haochen felt a hot and masculine breath.

"This is... Gangqi!" Zhou Haochen exclaimed.

“It’s indeed Gangqi!”

"And it's the newly born Qi!"

A hint of surprise first appeared on Helian Hai's face, but then the surprise disappeared in an instant, replaced by an expression of "as expected".

That's it again!

His Highness seemed to have anticipated various opportunities.

Helian Hai has seen this kind of thing more than once or twice.

After seeing it so many times, I become numb!
boom--

boom--

boom--

The earth shook and the earth cracked.

It was as if a giant dragon had awakened and was turning over under the mountain of Huyuejian.

This violent vibration came quickly and went away quickly.

When the vibration disappeared, a deep crack appeared on the ground.

The crack is so deep, like an abyss, with no end in sight.

The hot and masculine aura that Zhou Haochen had felt before came from deep within the crack.

Faintly, you can see a hint of green and red.

"Earth Core Fire Thunder Gang!"

Zhou Haochen immediately recognized that the Qi in the crack was first-grade Qi - the Earth Core Fire Thunder Qi.

The quality is not inferior to the Nine Nether Yin Wind Evil that he refined before!
It doesn’t take much effort to get it without trying to find anywhere!

After refining the Nine Nether Yin Wind Evil, Zhou Haochen was just lacking a top-level Qi to advance to the second small realm in the Wanxiang Realm - Yang Gang!
Yang Gang, as the name suggests, is to refine a stream of Gang Qi and integrate it into the true essence.

The Nine Nether Yin Wind Evil that Zhou Haochen had refined before was a first-grade evil spirit, the best among all evil spirits.

If you just find any kind of qi and integrate it into your true essence, there will naturally be no problem.

However, doing so would be a waste of the first-grade evil energy, Nine Nether Yin Wind Evil.

The Earth Core Fire Thunder Gang is not inferior to the Nine Nether Yin Wind Evil in grade, and is just right for Zhou Haochen's practice.

Zhou Haochen stretched out his right hand, and a corner of the earth's core fire thunder was captured by Zhou Haochen, and was forcibly extracted from the earth by Zhou Haochen.

Zhou Haochen did not relax his vigilance when extracting the fire thunder from the earth's core.

Because according to the hexagram, someone will compete with him for the Earth's Core Fire Thunder.

So, where is the person who is competing with him for the Gang Qi?
Just when Zhou Haochen was concentrating and alert.

Suddenly, the fire thunder in the earth's core shook, and seemed to be about to escape.

Zhou Haochen could clearly feel that there seemed to be a force drawing fire and thunder from the earth's core.

Is this the competitor in the hexagram?
Zhou Haochen was stunned for a moment, then immediately realized why the hexagram indicated great luck instead of slight luck even though there was clearly a competitor.

Because the earth veins run through Xiniu Mountain, the people who competed with him for the Earth's Core Fire Thunder Gang are far away, quite a distance away from Huyuejian.

As long as he snatches the Earth Core Fire Thunder Force, even if he leaves, the other party will have no idea who robbed his opportunity halfway.

After figuring it out, Zhou Haochen no longer held back, took a deep breath, and pushed his internal skills to the extreme.

"Wake it up for me!"

A powerful pressure burst out from Zhou Haochen.

……

Thirty miles away, in a hot spring.

A young man in a Taoist robe sat cross-legged, drawing fire and thunder from the earth's core beneath the hot spring.

"Wanping County is truly my blessed land!"

"Yesterday I dug up a thousand-year-old ginseng, and today I discovered the Earth's Core Fire Thunder Gang."

"After integrating the Earth Core Fire Thunder Force, I will be able to go further."

"It's a pity that the evil spirit I integrated before was of a lower grade. If it was of the same quality as the Earth Core Fire Thunder Gang, I could fight for the position of the Holy Son."

The young man sighed, a look of deep regret on his face.

At this moment, a powerful force suddenly erupted from the fire and thunder in the earth's core.

The young man's face changed drastically in an instant, and he was accidentally pulled into the hot spring by the fire thunder from the earth's core.

Originally, the fight between Zhou Haochen and the young boy for the Earth's Core Fire Thunder Force was like a tug-of-war, with both sides evenly matched.

Now Zhou Haochen suddenly exerted his strength, catching the young man off guard.

He staggered and his body sank into the hot spring. He lost his balance and watched helplessly as the Earth's Core Fire Thunder Force slipped from his hands and was drawn away by someone else along the earth veins.

"presumptuous!"

"How dare you steal the treasure of my Five Elements Sect!"

"Even if we chase you to the ends of the earth, the Five Elements Sect will not let you go."

The young man cursed loudly, his face turning red.

I don’t know if it was because he was angry or because he was scalded by the hot spring.

The boy's threat was transmitted directly to Zhou Haochen's ears along the underground channel.

"Five Elements Sect?"

"The one competing with me for the Earth Core Fire Thunder Force is a disciple of the Five Elements Sect!"

A trace of solemnity appeared on Zhou Haochen's face.

The Five Elements Sect, one of the seven Taoist sects, like the Taixu Sect and the Shenxiao School, is a holy place that countless Taoist practitioners yearn for.

Over the years, although the Five Elements Sect is not as prosperous as the Taixu Sect and the Shenxiao Sect, it is still considered middle-class among the seven Taoist sects.

He put the Earth Core Fire Thunder into the jade bottle, cast a spell, and sealed it.

After doing all this, Zhou Haochen began to think in his mind.

The disciples of the Five Elements Sect will definitely not give up.

A place of thirty miles is neither near nor far.

If Zhou Haochen leaves now, the other party will definitely not be able to catch up with him.

but……

A thought suddenly appeared in Zhou Haochen's mind.

"Master He, I remember that the Shenxiao Sect and the Five Elements Sect have not been getting along well over the years."

"That's true. These two families have been enemies for tens of thousands of years."

"The Shenxiao Sect and the Five Elements Sect used to be in the middle of the seven Taoist sects, and the competition was very fierce."

"It was not until recent years that the Shenxiao Sect emerged as a new force and completely suppressed the Five Elements Sect."

After listening to what Mr. He said, the plan in Zhou Haochen's mind became more perfect.

"Mr. He, can you imitate the magical powers of the Five Thunders lineage of the Shenxiao Sect?" Zhou Haochen asked.

When Helian Hai heard this, his expression became strange, as if he knew what Zhou Haochen was thinking without Zhou Haochen explaining it.

"The Five Thunders lineage of the Shenxiao Sect originally imitated our Five Thunders Sect. Over the years, it has also absorbed the skills and magical powers of our Five Thunders Sect."

"Of course there is no problem in imitating the Five Thunders lineage of the Shenxiao Sect."

"Your Highness, are you trying to sow discord?"

"Exactly!"

"We need to give the Shenxiao Sect something to do!"

"Hahahaha—I like this plan!"

"Let the Shenxiao Sect and the Five Elements Sect fight each other."

After saying that, Helian Hai imitated the Five Thunders and shot a divine thunder towards the crack.

After doing all this, he took Zhou Haochen and quickly left Huyuejian.

After Zhou Haochen and the other person left for a while, the young man from the Five Elements Sect finally arrived.

After arriving at Huyuejian, the boy saw the crack in the ground at a glance.

After all, this crack is more than ten feet long and too conspicuous to be seen.

He glanced around, and then his pupils condensed, and he saw traces of the Five Elements Thunder Technique.

"Shenxiao Sect?"

"Damn you thief from the Shenxiao sect!"
