Three days passed by in a flash.
On this day, the sun was shining brightly and the blue sky made me feel refreshed and happy.
After the morning court meeting in the palace today, all the civil and military officials did not exit the palace and return to their residences as usual. Instead, they gathered in the open space in front of the palace, preparing to witness a wonderful alchemy challenge.
The civil and military officials were talking among themselves, their faces filled with anticipation.
"I've seen a lot of martial arts competitions, but I've never seen an alchemy competition. I hope I won't disappoint anyone."
"Master Luo is saying that I heard that the alchemist competition can be a bit boring, but after the alchemy is completed, it can make people feel excited."
"The alchemy skills of Yaowang Pavilion are unparalleled. This has been proven for a long time. How can Count Shaowu compare with him?"
"It is rumored that Count Shaowu has been taught the art of alchemy by a stranger, and he is already a genuine medicine king. Today we can see with our own eyes whether this is the case."
…
At this time, a chariot came outside the palace. It was a flying chariot pulled by a three-headed white crane king. It was flying in the sky, with many petals flying, and there were waves of music playing, faintly. It can be seen that there are eight beauties on the left and right of the flying chariot scattering flowers and playing music. In the middle of the flying chariot, there is a man and a half sleeping on a soft couch. The beauties on the left and right are rubbing his shoulders and beating his back, looking very comfortable.
Who can use such a formation to rush to the palace, except Yao Lingyu, the master of Yaowang Pavilion, who else dares to be so bold.
In addition to him, there were king protectors on the left and right who released their black wings and followed him at full speed. They protected him all the way to the palace before landing and walking in.
In the royal city, no king is allowed to fly at will. This is a rule. It is a taboo for the people of Yaowang Pavilion to dare to do this. However, in fact, they have the privilege of the emperor to allow them to do so.
Fortunately, they still know how to behave. If they land in front of the palace, it would be extremely disrespectful if they fly directly into the palace.
The civil and military officials looked at the people from Yaowang Pavilion who came with a somewhat complicated look in their eyes, ranging from awe, to flattery, to disdain... There were all kinds of expressions, but most people still had a flattering look in their eyes.
Yaowang Pavilion is the place where the most alchemists of the Great Xia Dynasty gather. Seventy or eighty percent of the elixirs are refined by them. Even the royal family has to be courteous to them. Officials like them really only have a role to please. .
No one realized that the emperor, who was sitting in the highest position, had a hint of dissatisfaction, but he quickly concealed it.
After the people from Yaowang Pavilion entered the venue, Yao Lingyu swept down from the soft couch, straightened his waist and raised his hands to the emperor above him, smiling: "Yao Lingyu from Yaowang Pavilion sees the emperor."
Yao Lingyu's trip was also an act of over-the-top etiquette. He didn't even say "Long live" and showed no courtesy from a monarch or his ministers. It was really excessive.
However, this is also the unique privilege of Yaowang Pavilion, they can face the saint without kneeling.
The emperor said with a smile: "Lingyu Pingshen, I haven't seen you refining elixirs for a long time, so I have to observe you carefully today."
"Lingyu will never disappoint the emperor." Yao Lingyu responded with confidence. After a pause, he asked again: "I wonder which one is General Yang Wu? Please come out and meet him."
His voice was full of energy and could be heard by everyone present. At the same time, he also displayed his kingly aura, which made people look at him.
If the alchemist has not reached the realm of Earth and Sea, he will not have enough strength to support the preparation of the Alchemy King. Yao Lingyu has already reached the advanced realm of Earth and Sea, and his future is very promising.
After his voice fell, someone responded: "General Yang Wu has not arrived yet."
"Lingyu, don't be anxious. Yang Wu, Aiqing, is going to do some errands. He will be there in a moment. Let's wait together." The emperor said with a smile.
Yao Lingyu glowed and said, "Your Majesty, it's not good for you to indulge such a minister like this."
Not only did the emperor's face look ugly now, but the expressions of all the civil and military officials also changed.
Who here dares to speak to the emperor like this? They are simply accusing the emperor of not doing anything.
The emperor frowned and said, "Yang Wu is a minister of great merit, so it is normal to give him some preferential treatment."
"Your Majesty, don't blame Ling Yu for talking too much. I heard that Yang Wu is just a young man. How much ability he has. There must be someone behind the scenes who is pushing things forward for him and letting him enjoy the results. What's more, he is a citizen of Daxia, How can we let the emperor wait here for so long? I have made it clear that I don’t take the emperor seriously. If the emperor is embarrassed to punish such a guilty minister, please give me the right to punish him in Yaowang Pavilion. , to ensure that he knows that my power as the Emperor of Great Xia is inviolable." Yao Lingyu said grandly.
After the emperor and the civil and military officials heard this, their faces twitched slightly. Is this guy talking about himself
It was obvious that he was late and was disrespectful in front of the emperor. Now he is backbiting Yang Wu and wants to use the emperor's words to deal with Yang Wu. This style can be described as overbearing.
Just when the emperor wanted to reply, Yang Wu's voice rang out from nowhere and said: "The person who threatens the emperor must be Yao Lingyu, the master of Yaowang Pavilion. He is really brave."
At some point, Yang Wu had already appeared in this open space with two old men. One old man was a medicine priest, and the other old man had a childlike appearance and a noble temperament, but he didn't know who he was.
Yao Lingyu looked back, his eyes fell on the old man with gray hair and childlike face, and with a bit of sternness, he said lightly: "I didn't expect that the King of Medicine from the Royal Academy, Mr. Chen, is also here."
That's right, the old man with gray hair and boyish face is none other than the Medicine King of the Royal Academy, Chen Xuan. He is the senior brother of Medicine Priest Han Qingqian.
In the early morning, Yang Wu had already gone to court. He just went out with the medicine priest Han Qingqian to meet the highly prestigious Medicine King Chen Yan.
He didn't want Yao Lingyu to slander him behind his back, but it really made him see the true villain side of the other party.
"Haha, I'm here to join in the fun of such a challenge. Why don't you welcome me?" Chen Xuan said with a smile, stroking his white beard.
"How could it be possible? It's a pity that my father has been in seclusion to attack the Tianyu realm. Otherwise, it would be nice to have him come and reminisce with you." Yao Lingyu said with a sneer.
Chen Yan's expression darkened and he said, "It would be great if Yao Yanhai has this ability."
"That's natural. My father is always strong and has some opportunities. The chances are still great." Yao Lingyu said with great pride.
Chen Xuan was so angry that he couldn't speak. He was once defeated by Yao Yanhai, so he resigned from the position of Yao Yanhai and went to the Royal Academy to teach students. Now Yao Lingyu keeps bringing up old things to run against him. It's really under his control. To rub salt into old wounds.
"Senior brother, there is no need to be angry. A temporary victory or defeat doesn't mean anything. Let's watch the competition between their young people today." Han Qingqian said from the side.
So, the two of them walked towards the emperor, first saluted the emperor, and then fell to their viewing position.
At this time, Yang Wu finally faced Yao Lingyu face to face.
"Sure enough, a hero comes from a young age, but is this level of alchemy really that outstanding?" Yao Lingyu laughed ferociously, and a powerful spiritual force rushed towards Yang Wu. He wanted to give Yang Wu a Show off your power.
As the king of medicine, Yao Lingyu would not have achieved great success in alchemy without a little mental pressure.
Yang Wu felt the invasion of Yao Lingyu's mental power, and said as usual: "Master Yao Wang Pavilion, right? You are very courageous. You actually want to punish this general. Who do you think you are?"
The words behind Yang Wu were like thunder. His Divine Court Daohua swayed, and more powerful mental power fought back against Yao Lingyu. The majestic power was like Mount Tai pressing down on Yao Lingyu.
Yao Lingyu instantly felt a sense of suffocation, and Shenting's soul trembled, as if he had met a king, his mental power was shrinking rapidly, and he was completely unable to raise the slightest ability to resist.
"His mental power is so strong, this is impossible!" Yao Lingyu exclaimed in his heart.
The civil and military officials felt quite relieved when they heard Yang Wu scolding Yao Lingyu. They couldn't stand Yao Lingyu's behavior. At the same time, they were also frightened by Yang Wu's boldness and sighed for no reason. : "Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers."
Yaowang Pavilion can make even the royal family avoid it, which shows how strong they are. Yang Wu dared to do this, and he was indeed very courageous.
"I have nothing to say. Your Yaowang Pavilion is just a gang. Not only is it not controlled by the imperial court, it is also a criminal. It empties the herbs in the Yaodian's warehouse and threatens the imperial court on the pretext of refining alchemy. It is the most important thing to eradicate now. You are the evil forces. Today, I will challenge you on behalf of the emperor to see how powerful the alchemy of your Yaowang Pavilion is. If you lose, no one in Yaowang Pavilion will be allowed to step into the Medicine Palace Treasury again. If I lose, how about I die to apologize to you?" Yang Wu shouted with righteousness all over his body, his voice was sonorous and powerful, deafening, and it was really satisfying.
Indeed, Yaowang Pavilion did not accept the imperial conferment at all, but enjoyed the privileges of the imperial court and was on an equal footing with Wang Jue. It was really indignant for both humans and gods.
Yang Wu spoke the heart of the current emperor, and the emperor applauded in his heart and exclaimed: "What a great Yang Wu, just as he should be."
Yang Wu once resisted the decree, but he has chosen to back down and give the emperor a step up and down. Yaowang Pavilion is getting more and more aggressive. In comparison, the emperor supports Yang Wu more, no, it should be said that he supports them more dog-eat-dog. .
"Yang Wu, you are so impudent!" Yao Lingyu said with difficulty.
"Who is so presumptuous? You are not even a minister. I am still a lieutenant general. Do you understand that you must salute me when you see me?" Yang Wu approached Yao Lingyu and shouted.
Yao Lingyu couldn't stand Yang Wu's mental suppression and took two steps back, which shocked everyone present.
