On the third floor of the Pavilion of Everlasting Regret, Hu Yunjiao hugged Yuan Shouyi, gradually took in her breath and opened her eyes.
This qi refining only took half an hour, which was faster than any time when he used the elixir to direct the qi back to his original state.
"How?" Hu Yunshang asked his sister.
"I didn't expect that Ruoyao's elixir would have such a great effect." Hu Yunjiao checked her profound energy level, and immediately praised: "The thing she got from some female general of Chu is not bad. Sigh, Wu Kingdom is indeed the largest country in the Central Plains .”
Hu Yunshang nodded and said: "Yunjiao, you already have three-star profound energy. And you have reached the peak of three-star profound energy, so you may break through at any time."
Hu Yunjiao jumped up, feeling a sense of comfort, and hurriedly urged: "Brother, take the elixir quickly, and I will help you protect the law."
"No, save such a good pill for dad." Hu Yunshang looked at the brown pill in his hand, and put it into a close-fitting medicine bottle with great care.
"Brother, you don't want to challenge Yumen's second senior brother again?"
"I will work harder on my goal, but my father is still stuck at the bottleneck. Old injuries and meridian diseases have accumulated for many years and cannot be broken through. He needs it more than me." Hu Yunshang's attitude is very firm.
Hu Yunjiao hesitated for a while and wanted to persuade her again, but she held back and said instead: "Brother, I think this elixir is not just about improving the cultivation of profound energy."
Hu Yunshang looked at his sister: "How do you say?"
It's a good thing he's not Wu Zhe, otherwise, after hearing this, I'm afraid he'd be spinning in her chest. Then there is some kind of suspicion...
The brother-sister relationship in this era is not like the two-dimensional description in another world, which creates a confusing feeling that if the brother does not control the sister, he is the second grader, and if the sister does not control the brother, the brother belongs to the saint.
"The meridians all over the body are much more spacious than before, and the speed and sensitivity of profound energy have been greatly improved, as if there is a feeling of being completely reborn." Hu Yunjiao thought about it: "However, there is no book that says to wash the essence and cut the marrow. What are the performances of mud shedding and chip shedding. It's quite mysterious."
"mysterious?"
"Well. In short, it is more than ten times better than any kind of elixir I have ever taken. No, it is more than ten times. In such a short period of time, it is not difficult to absorb the effects of the medicine. This elixir is not like a star. It is a treasure in the ninth rank. It is a moon-rank holy object."
For example, Qiwei Ningqi Pill is a seven-star pill. Hu Yunjiao's evaluation is based on her assumptions, because she has never touched moon-level treasures.
But although there is no precedent, what he said is extremely accurate. Not to mention that it is a moon-level treasure, but the fact that this hybrid pill is so easy to absorb is not comparable to a moon-level holy item.
"Then this pill has more of Ruoyao's favor." Hu Yunshang said happily instead, "Maybe Dad's old wounds will heal because of this, and his martial arts will improve. I'll go and send it to Dad."
"Wait!" Hu Yunjiao hurriedly yelled to stop Hu Yunshang who was leaving: "Brother, if you don't take the initiative, be careful...be careful Xiao Ruoyao will be snatched away by others!"
Hu Yunshang froze, but recovered quickly. keep going.
"Oh, no confidence? My sister doesn't even have the confidence to help you?" Hu Yunjiao put her hands on her chest, shook her head and let out a long sigh.
***************
When Wu Zhe returned to Autumn Leaf Garden, he was spotted by patrolling guards from afar, and they urgently notified all places in the garden.
"Master Xiao is back!" Shouts rang out from all over the garden.
Lord Xiao? What
Wu Zhe was a little dazed.
It sounds like a little master... She had a sudden thought and wanted to ask if Zhen Huan was there
The housekeeper inside ran out with dozens of people cheering, and a large group bowed and said: "Congratulations to Lord Xiao, congratulations to Lord Xiao!"
Wu Zhe didn't get out of the carriage either. Ask directly: "Why did you change your name?"
"Lord Xiao, Concubine Qi sent someone to deliver the decree. She said that you are not here. You can also accept the decree." The housekeeper smiled all over his face: "Your Majesty Long En confers you a third-class title, a Jin noble, and three generations of Shangyin!"
Knighthood? Wu Zhe was taken aback.
Xiao Niu next to her was dumbfounded. Although I don't understand the four noble titles of king, duke, marquis, and jue, I also understand that this belongs to being promoted from a commoner to a noble. From then on, he was no longer disturbed by poll tax, corvee, etc., and he was not even arrested and tortured unless ordered.
Even when meeting the majestic county magistrate in the past, the magistrate would bow down and salute instead. Don't say that a scholar doesn't kneel. Even if Xiao Ruoyao went to the lobby of Qidu, she could ask for a seat to sit firmly.
From now on, when Wu Zhe had an audience with Concubine Qi and King Qi, it was very reasonable, legal, and compliant that there was no need to kneel down, just salute.
Of course she never knelt.
in this world. Officials are not necessarily nobles. And nobles are higher than officials, and the title of this title is far greater than that of an official. And Shangyin's three generations, this is a very great favor, Xiao's father and Xiao's mother have already become aristocratic old couples.
Even the ancestral graves of the Xiao family are protected by the local government, and special personnel will clean them up and offer sacrifices on New Year's Day.
It can be said that it is a great event for the ancestors to be honored in this way.
It turned out to be the case, Wu Zhe suddenly realized. Concubine Qi must have received the report from the female guard Qi Chang, and also read some of the prince's documents, so she was kind.
Wu Zhe is a woman, so it's not easy to call him Lord Xiao directly, so the steward took the servants, maids and other servants and most of the servants called Lord Xiao.
Hey, it would be nice if our surname was Wei. While Wu Zhe was feeling secretly refreshed, he also thought about it with a bit of a naughty taste.
"Lord Xiao, please see that when the decree was issued an hour ago, the craftsmen who came along had already changed the gate." The guard steward reported.
Wu Zhe and Xiao Mei looked up, and saw that the plaque on the Autumn Leaf Garden had been replaced, replaced by a black-bottomed plaque with golden characters inlaid with yellow, with five large characters [皇奖秋叶园].
"Imperial gift?" Wu Zhe looked puzzled.
"Ah, it is stated in the decree that Mo Shiren's Qiuyeyuan mansion will be seized and given to Master Xiao, and another mansion will be arranged for Chief Mo to take charge of a mansion in the western suburbs." The size of the mansion is not inferior to this place, even bigger."
Well, it seems that Concubine Qi still appreciates Mo Shirenpo's vision, Wu Zhe thought in his heart. Mo Shiren is an old man, he stood on my side early on, so he is smart.
After all, I owe him a lot of favors. Fortunately, he has already accompanied King Qi to the southeast border, otherwise I really wouldn't be able to give him something good.
How about giving him a hybrid pill? No, no, this thing can't be sent indiscriminately. What if he grows a penis again
It's not that I'm worried that he's going to mess up the palace, anyway, he's a smart man and won't do stupid things, the key is that we are still penisless, how can we benefit an eunuch? That would make us envious and jealous.
Wu Zhe made up his mind to find another good gift for Mo Shiren.
"Niu'er, are you back?" Father Xiao and Niang Xiao were hugged by several maids, and came out dressed in expensive clothes.
"Good lord, good old lady—" The servants around bowed one after another.
Wu Zhe suddenly had a very refreshing feeling in his heart. (To be continued..)
