Chapter 557

Song Qing hurriedly ran out of the secret chamber. After a few seconds, he came back with a thick blue book and handed it to Xu Qi 'an respectfully.

Nowadays, the warlocks of the Celestial Commissioner were used to using the blue book as their handbook and hoped that it would become a tradition. They believed that after a few generations, the blue book would be associated with alchemy.

In the future, when the outside world talked about the warlocks' alchemy, they would use the blue book to refer to it.

The founder of the blue book, Xu Qi 'an, took the alchemy handbook from Song Qing, opened it, and glanced at it.

"It's too long … I can't understand it …" He pretended to read for a long time, sometimes nodding, sometimes shaking his head.

The members of the Heaven & Earth Society, as well as Song Qing, fixed their eyes on him. When Xu Qi 'an closed the book, Song Qing couldn't wait to ask:

"Prince Xu, are there any mistakes?"

Li Miaozhen and the others put on a posture of listening attentively and looked at him attentively.

"There are still a lot of problems, Brother Song. This is a long road, and you need to explore it from top to bottom. Don't slack off." Xu Qi 'an sighed with emotion.

"So, where is the problem …"

Before Song Qing finished, Xu Qi 'an interrupted him and said: "Brother Song, you have to know that alchemy has its limits. I have an idea for your work, and I can give you a reference. "

Song Qing's eyes suddenly lit up, and his attention was diverted. He eagerly asked: "Prince Xu, I know you must have a way. If you were there when I was training him, it would be better than now."

No, I can only cheer on the side when the time comes … Xu Qi 'an cleared his throat, glanced at the crowd, and his eyes fell on Song Qing.

"As far as I know, there is a kind of treasure in the world called Nine Colors Lotus, which can enlighten everything. Even stones can have spiritual intelligence. This body of yours needs to be enlightened. "

"Nine Colors Lotus, Nine Colors Lotus …" Song Qing murmured to himself: "There is such a magical thing in the world."

The members of the Heaven & Earth Society suddenly realized that Xu Qi 'an's method was feasible.

Yes, Nine Colors Lotus can enlighten everything, so it can naturally enlighten this body. As long as he is enlightened, Susu can possess him … Li Miaozhen was happy. She suddenly had a goal and was no longer confused.

But Susu can't wait for the Nine Colors Lotus to mature immediately, so that she could get a new body.

"No, no, no. I want to be a woman. I want to be a man … But if I'm a man, I won't have to give birth to Xu Ningyan's child. What if he still wants me to be his concubine …"

"Nine Colors Lotus is a treasure of the Earth Sect. In fact, it is also a material for alchemy. After all, everything can be used in alchemy …" Xu Qi 'an said with a smile.

"The Nine Colors Lotus is a treasure of the Earth Sect. In fact, it is also a material for alchemy. After all, everything can be used in alchemy." Xu Qi 'an smiled.

"Everything can be used in alchemy …" Song Qing was sincerely convinced and sighed.

He sighed with emotion and said, "Prince Xu, you are a genius in alchemy that I really admire. I was even angry that your Second Uncle didn't send you to the Celestial Commissioner to learn alchemy."

… My Second Uncle is pitiful enough. Let him go!

This trip to the Celestial Commissioner opened a new chapter for Susu. For the others, their feelings were much more complicated. On the one hand, they were shocked by Song Qing's attainments in alchemy.

On the other hand, they were uncomfortable with his alchemy of life.

Before leaving, Xu Qi 'an pulled Song Qing to a secluded place and whispered, "Senior Brother Song, I have a favor to ask of you."

"Tell me."

Song Qing did not refuse any of Xu Qi 'an's requests.

"I need you to refine a female body for that Mei to attach herself to. When the time comes, I will find a way to get the Nine Colors Lotus," Xu Qi 'an said.

"Okay, I will definitely do it." When Song Qing heard that Xu Qi 'an could get him the Nine Colors Lotus, he was immediately excited.

"But I also have a condition." Xu Qi 'an's voice became deeper. "First, the female body must be beautiful, very beautiful. Then, here … "

He rubbed his chest and said sneakily, "This place must be big."

Song Qing was not interested in women. He frowned and said, "What is the definition of 'big'?"

He needed a reference.

Xu Qi 'an thought for a moment and answered strictly, "Caiwei to the power of the third."

…

For Xu Qi 'an, this trip to the Celestial Commissioner was very necessary. It could be considered as fulfilling his original promise.

He was a person who valued promises, both in his previous life and this life.

After leaving the Celestial Commissioner, Chu Yuanzhen and Hengy Yuan said goodbye and left. Xu Qi 'an took Li Miaozhen, Susu, and Lina to the Xu Mansion.

The big-eyed cute girl, Chu Caiwei, accompanied them from thousands of miles away. After a while, they arrived at the Xu Mansion, so they decided to have dinner at the Xu Mansion.

After dinner, Chu Caiwei decided to rest at the Xu Mansion again. Sharing a bed with Lina, the situation was very good.

After the banquet, Xu Qi 'an entered Erlang's study. Seeing his younger brother reading by the desk, he smiled and teased him, "Erlang,

"Did you have fun with Miss Wang today?"

Xu Erlang suddenly showed a strange expression and said in a low voice, "Big Brother, I think Miss Wang is drooling over my beauty."

The wording was wrong, but it was the meaning … Xu Qi 'an was a little surprised. Xu Erlang actually realized it?

Xu Erlang was not a fool, and his EQ was not low. It was just that he lacked experience in dealing with women. He did not realize it the first two times and was immersed in the battle of wits and courage with Wang Shoufu (Air).

"She often praises me for my good looks. Her behavior also shows that she wants to be close to me." Xu Xinnian frowned.

"What do you think?" Xu Qi 'an asked.

"Wang Shoufu and Wei Yuan are political enemies. Big Brother is Wei Yuan's confidant. How can I have entanglement with Miss Wang?" Xu Xinnian expressed his attitude.

I never wanted to brand Erlang as a "eunuch's clique". I was worried that he did not have a backer in the court. If he could rely on Wang Shoufu … But this is not a child's play. Who knows if my idea will push Erlang into the fire pit?

Xu Qi 'an thought for a long time and said, "You decide for yourself. You have to rely on your own two feet to walk the road in the future. In the court, there are no eternal enemies. Duke Wei and Wang Shoufu are now working together to punish the corrupt officials.

"Moreover, even if you and Miss Wang become good in the future, it will be her marrying into the Xu family, not you. There is a fundamental difference here. You will still be free. "

Xu Xinnian was a little embarrassed. His face reddened. "Big Brother, your words make it seem as if Miss Wang and I really have something improper."

He then frowned and said, "Moreover, she likes me because she thinks I'm good-looking. If I look scary, will she still like me?"

Xu Qi 'an replied, "That depends on how you pronounce the word' long '."

He didn't think there was anything wrong with Miss Wang coveting Xu Erlang's beauty. If you like a person, shouldn't you start from the face?

He liked Lin 'an, liked Huaiqing, liked Caiwei, liked Li Miaozhen, liked Susu, liked Lina, and even liked the Imperial Tutor because they were all very good-looking.

He also liked beautiful horses like the filly. If he didn't ride her for a day, he would miss her.

And with Zhong Li, whose hair was disheveled and whose face was hidden, Xu Qi 'an reserved the right to like her.

…

Returning to the room, he practiced slow boxing in the room according to the method recorded in the Theory of Pulse Circulation. He felt the movement of his Qi, the flow of his blood, and the stretching and contracting of his muscles when he exerted force.

After half an hour, Xu Qi 'an sat at the table, took the warm tea from Zhong Li, and muttered to himself, "I've been waiting for a long time.

"It's too slow. The Theory of Pulse Circulation is at most an auxiliary function. Whether I can reach Transforming Strength or not depends on myself … If it goes on like this, it will be difficult to reach Level Five by the end of the year, let alone Level Four.

"I have to find a way to improve my strength. Luck is gradually awakening, and the mastermind behind the scenes will not sit idly by. Even with the protection of the Supervisor and Shen Shu, I am not absolutely safe. The opponent is at least a Level Three warlock, and there may be more powerful forces behind him.

"More haste makes waste. Although Transforming Strength is difficult, at least I can make progress slowly. The promotion of the title and the increase of power are the most difficult for me. "

In the past, he chose to stay in the capital because the capital was prosperous and rich, but he also had the arrogance of "I can roam Jianghu".

But now, he wanted to seize more power in the imperial court. His strength and the power in his hands complemented each other, and in the future, he would have the power to fight against the "creditors".

Therefore, he lacked the opportunity to make meritorious contributions.

"It's a pity that the year of Kyrgyzstan has passed, and now the capital is peaceful. I don't have many opportunities to make meritorious contributions. "Xu Qi 'an sighed and turned to think about how to improve his cultivation.

An idea flashed in his mind just now.

"The World Single Cut is a move that gathers all the Qi in the body, while Transforming Strength is also a move that twists the strength into one, without wasting any, and explodes the greatest power with the least cost. The two are different approaches to achieve the same result."

He was sincerely surprised by this idea, and he couldn't wait to verify it.

Xu Qi 'an stood still in the room, took a deep breath, calmed down all his emotions, and suppressed his breath …

"No, no, I'm not performing the World Single Cut …"

He quickly stopped accumulating power and dispersed his Qi dynamic. He once again performed the Single Blade Cleave of Heaven and Earth, but this time, he did not use his Qi dynamic. Instead, he used his pure physical strength.

"Bang!"

As he punched out, the air let out a crisp crackling sound.

Because there was no Qi mixed in, there was no large-scale damage.

"My arm is still trembling, but the moment I threw the punch, the strength was indeed bursting in one direction, although a lot of it was lost in the process …"

This result made Xu Qi 'an ecstatic. He was on the right path. As long as he practiced according to this method, the time he needed to advance to Fifth Pin would be greatly reduced.

"It's much stronger than the Elemental Pulse Circulation Theory. Hehe, I'm such a genius, and I found another way …" The joy on his face suddenly froze.

Because the World Single Cut was sent by the Celestial Commissioner to be the night watchman, and it was a secret gift from the Supervisor …

Is this all within your expectations? Supervisor Jojo.

…

In the Imperial Study of the Imperial Palace.

Just after dawn, the officials were summoned to the Imperial Study by the eunuchs sent by the Emperor.

After the officials gathered, the Yuanjing Emperor, who was dressed in a Taoist robe, walked to the big table with light steps and sat on his throne.

"My dear officials, you have been submitting memorials for the past few days, wanting to thoroughly investigate the 'Three Thousand Mile Massacre' incident. I have the same feeling." The Yuanjing Emperor looked down at the officials in the hall, and his tone was neither fast nor slow.

"I want to send a diplomatic mission to the border to thoroughly investigate this matter. My dear officials, do you have any suitable candidates? "

Wang Shoufu stepped out and bowed, "Your Majesty, this case is of great importance, and it should be handled by the night watchman of the three departments."

This was a good tacit understanding formed within the imperial court over the years. Whenever there was a major case, it was basically handled by the three departments and the night watchman's office. It was cooperation and mutual supervision.

The Yuanjing Emperor waited for a moment, and seeing that no officials objected or added anything, he took the opportunity to ask, "What about the leader? My dear officials, do you have any suitable candidates? "

When multiple parties worked together to solve a case, they would either handle their own matters or form a team. A team naturally had to have a leader. Otherwise, it would be a plate of loose sand.

Generally speaking, cases that required a long journey to another place were usually handled in teams, and not individually.

Hearing the words "leader", the minds of the officials instinctively and habitually floated to the image of an arrogant young man in the silver gong's uniform.

This was a recognition of Xu Qi'an's ability, and also because in the past six months, Xu Qi'an had solved many major and important cases, leaving a deep impression on people.

Wang Shoufu pondered for a moment, and said, "We can appoint the night watchman, Xu Qi'an, as the leader."

He did not praise Xu Qi'an, because there was no need.

The Yuanjing Emperor nodded, and his gaze swept across the officials, and said, "My dear officials, what do you think?"

"Good!"

The officials replied in unison.

…

Grand Spirit Building, tea room.

"What? I'm going to be the leader of the Three Thousand Mile Massacre case? "

Hearing the news, Xu Qi'an's eyes widened in shock, and his face was full of shock.

This was different from the Yunzhou case. In the Yunzhou case, Inspector Zhang was the leader, and he was one of the entourage. And this time, he was the leader in theory.

The pros and cons were very obvious. If the case was solved, he would be the main contributor, but if the Three Thousand Mile Massacre case really existed, and he found out the truth, his contribution would be unimaginable.

I was just fretting that I didn't have a chance to perform meritorious deeds... Xu Qi'an was half happy and half worried, because if he could not solve the case, he would be punished.

This was still good. If the Thousand Mile Massacre case was really the fault of the King of Zhenbei, and the King of Zhenbei lied about military intelligence, then he would be in danger.

"Duke Wei, the officials elected me to be the leader, but I'm afraid they are up to no good, right? Why didn't Your Majesty appoint an inspector, and instead agreed to let me, a silver gong, be the leader? "

Xu Qi'an looked at the Great Green Robe opposite him, and continued, "You have to send a Jinluo to protect me."

Wei Yuan caressed the teacup, and said in a gentle tone, "Not bad, you are more sensitive than before. The previous you, would not try to figure out the intentions of the officials in the court, and the thoughts of Your Majesty."

No, I just feel that with you, the king of politics, by my side, I am too lazy to use my brain … Xu Qi'an said humbly, "Please teach me, Duke Wei."
