Chapter 819

How long has it been? It's already alive?

No wonder she's the reincarnation of the Flower God. She's so powerful. Is there no treasure that she can't raise?

The Nine-Colored Lotus Root was the treasure of the Earth Sect. There was probably only one of it in the world. It matured once every 60 years, and the lotus seeds it bore could enlighten everything.

The Taiping Saber was thus promoted to the ranks of Peerless Godly Weapons.

Now, there were two Nine-Colored Lotus Roots. One was in the Heaven & Earth Society, and the other was in his hands.

"In terms of preciousness, the Nine-Colored Lotus Root ranks in the top three among my treasures and trump cards. Even the Taiping Saber is incomparable to it. The fragment of the Book of the Earth is just a fragment. It has no other function other than sending books and storing things … Only luck and divinity are ranked higher than the lotus root.

"Uh, that's not right. I have to ask if it can continue to grow and if it can bear lotus seeds …"

Xu Qi 'an quietly swallowed his saliva and suppressed his ecstasy. He leaned against the side of the water tank to take a look and smiled.

"Princess, I didn't expect you to be so good at growing flowers. You can even raise this treasure. Hmm, can it grow? Can it bear lotus seeds? "

The princess said lightly, "Plants germinate, bloom, and bear fruit. It's the law of nature."

Does she mean that the lotus root can bear lotus seeds and grow from a small piece into a big root? Xu Qi 'an was ecstatic.

Can you make it grow … He didn't ask and held back. It would be too obvious and would be equivalent to revealing the princess's identity as the reincarnation of the Flower God.

This would cause panic in the widow.

"I don't know how long it will take for it to grow. I still need to use it in a while …"

Xu Qi 'an pretended to be sentimental.

From the corner of his eye, he saw the princess pursing her red lips as if she was hesitating. Then, as if she had made up her mind, she said, "It's growing well. It won't take long."

"My widow really has a way to grow lotus roots. Princess, this fish, has suddenly become the king of fish in my pond …" Xu Qi 'an was happy and joking at the same time.

The Nine-Colored Lotus Root's spiritual power is weak now, but as it grows, it will become stronger. I have to ask Yang Qianhuan to help me set up a spirit trapping array so that even if a master passes by, they won't be able to sense it … Xu Qi 'an thought.

He walked around the courtyard and the house. Everything was there, not missing, not leaking, and not damaged.

When she arrived at the princess's master bedroom, she originally wanted to see if there were termites on the furniture and beams. A while ago, her aunt had just instructed the servants in the house to apply termite repellent powder on the beams, furniture, and other wooden items.

Women could not do these things, so Xu Qi 'an had to do it himself.

Just as he entered the room, Wang Fei chased after him from behind. She hurriedly put away the clothes and dudou hanging on the screen and stuffed them into the bedding.

The young Princess Consort blushed slightly, but she forced herself to pretend that nothing had happened.

"It's not like I haven't seen your underwear …" Xu Qi 'an thought and asked, "By the way, why don't I see you drying clothes?"

There was not a single piece of clothing in the courtyard. Logically speaking, in the hot summer, people should shower and change clothes frequently. Why was there not a single piece of clothing in the courtyard?

"I asked Aunt Zhang to wash it for me."

Mu Nanzi exhaled and sat on the edge of the bed. She pressed her hips against the clothes under the quilt and pretended to tidy up her skirt. She said, "Her son hasn't given her money for two months. No, not even a penny.

"I saw that she was really short of money, so I asked her to wash my clothes for 20% more copper coins."

"Do you still remember the principle of not showing your wealth?" Xu Qi 'an reminded her.

"Of course I remember. You taught me." The princess snorted and smiled slyly. "I deliberately showed her the money box I hid in the closet. There was only one tael of silver, and it was all broken silver and copper coins."

"You've improved a lot. You're much smarter than before …" Xu Qi 'an nodded in satisfaction.

A woman who lived alone in the inner city had one tael of silver in savings. It was neither more nor less, and belonged to the lower middle class.

In the morning, Xu Qi 'an took her out for a stroll. They strolled through the downtown market, visited jewelry shops, and visited silk shops. During this time, she really liked a silver hairpin, which cost five taels of silver.

The jewelry on her head was of inferior quality, which cost one tael of silver.

When they left the jewelry shop, she blindly followed behind Xu Qi 'an. She looked back three times with every step, but she didn't ask for it.

After lunch in a restaurant, the two returned home. Xu Qi 'an brought out a small stool and a small round table from the house to play five-in-a-row with her.

"You've made the wrong move. You shouldn't have made this move," the princess said loudly.

"That's right. If I made this move, the next move would be a five-in-a-row, and I would win against you."

"So you've made the wrong move. If you win against me, how can we continue playing?"

"…"

…

"Can you take one step after another if I take two steps?"

"What do you think?"

…

"What's the point of bullying a weak girl?"

"I can't even bully a weak girl. How can I bully others?"

"I'm not playing anymore!"

She threw away the chess piece angrily and turned to the side.

"Looking from the side like a ridge, looking from the side like a peak, far and near different heights …" This poem appeared in Xu Qi 'an's mind for no reason. He took out the silver hairpin and placed it on the chessboard.

"This is for you."

She rolled her eyes and glanced at it tentatively. Then, her face quickly filled with a smile, and she happily held the silver hairpin.

Seeing Xu Qi 'an's playful expression, the princess immediately straightened her back and said in a reserved manner, "Actually, I don't particularly like it …"

"Then give it back to me." Xu Qi 'an reached out to take it back.

The princess immediately hid the silver hairpin behind her back and glared at him. "Just take it as a reward for helping you grow lotus roots."

"That makes sense."

Xu Qi 'an smiled and nodded. He said in a casual tone, "This place is quite far from the downtown area and the weather is hot. It's best not to stock up vegetables at home. I'll help you take a look later. I'll ask the peddler to send some fresh vegetables every morning."

There were many peddlers in the city who would go to the market early in the morning to buy vegetables and fruits from vegetable farmers at a low price. Then, they would bring them to the inner city and provide them to the rich families who did not like to wake up early.

The princess nodded.

Xu Qi 'an was silent for a while, then said, "I might leave the capital in the future, and it won't be long. You, you … Are you coming with me or staying here?"

The princess snorted and said, "I'm not going with you. The capital is so prosperous. Why would I leave? When the day comes that you're going to leave, go and inform the State Preceptor. I have a good relationship with her. She'll make arrangements for me. "

Xu Qi 'an was a little disappointed. "I'll leave you some money when the time comes."

The princess looked at him a few times but did not reply.

After a while, she whispered, "Is the Yuanjing Emperor going to deal with you?"

"Not yet, but I have a feeling that it won't be long."

"This world belongs to the royal family. It's good that he's gone." The princess nodded and said softly,

"However, that cousin of yours is now a scholar of the Hanlin Academy. Is he willing to go with you? Hmm, let me think. Are you going to find him a backer? "

"You're quite smart." Xu Qi 'an said with a smile.

The person the Yuanjing Emperor hated was him, not Xu Erlang. As long as he left and Xu Erlang had a solid backer, his future might be uncertain, but his life would not be in danger.

Moreover, Xu Erlang had the support of the Yunlu Academy. At most, the Yuanjing Emperor would dismiss him and demote him to a commoner.

"Whether I'm smart or not depends on the situation. I've been living alone for the past few days and often feel that I'm not smart enough. When I was cooking, I was in a hurry and fell a few bowls. I was so angry that I almost cried."

The princess sighed and said, "The Yuanjing Emperor is a smart man, but sometimes, he seems extremely stupid. For the illusory longevity, he gave up his harem of beauties, and he gave up his reputation. However, he had cultivated for twenty years, but he had not achieved anything. Even the stupidest person knows how to give up, right? The Imperial Advisor said that Yuanjing has a strong obsession, but I don't know where it comes from. "

"Are you close to the Imperial Advisor?"

"She's the only woman in the capital who can speak freely." The princess sighed.

"It doesn't make sense. The Imperial Advisor looks quite smart. How can he have a common language with a stupid woman like you …" Xu Qi 'an thought.

"But she's also a poor woman."

The princess chuckled and said, "I'll tell you a secret. Do you want to hear it?"

"You look like a female gangster now …" Xu Qi 'an listened attentively. "What secret?"

"The cultivation method of Renzong has a terrifying side effect. It will cause the cultivator to be surrounded by the Karmic Fire. It will flare up once a month. Those of a lower level can resist it with their own willpower.

"But the higher the level, the more terrifying the Karmic Fire. If you can't find a way to get rid of the Karmic Fire, you will die." The princess lowered her voice as if she was talking about a big secret.

Xu Qi 'an looked at her expressionlessly. "I already know."

The Jinlian Taoist priest had told him about the drawbacks of the cultivation method of Renzong.

The three sects of Taoism each had their own drawbacks. Renzong was surrounded by the Karmic Fire, the Earth Sect easily fell into the path of evil, and Tenzō was inhumane and emotionless.

The princess chuckled again, and like a female gangster who was talking bad, she whispered, "Then do you know how to solve it?"

Xu Qi 'an glanced at her. "You know?"

The princess nodded vigorously, like a chick pecking at rice. Her face had the words "beg me, beg me" written all over it.

"What secret?" Xu Qi 'an cooperated and showed a corresponding expression.

"I heard that you have to find a man for dual cultivation in order to survive the Great Tribulation," the princess said sneakily.

“？”

Xu Qi 'an's first reaction was that she was lying. His second reaction was that she heard the gossip blindly. His third reaction was … Damn, so that's why?!

Renzong wanted to use the luck to cultivate and get rid of the Karmic Fire. Therefore, Luo Yuheng became the State Preceptor to guide the Yuanjing Emperor in his cultivation.

From another perspective, if she found someone with great luck to cultivate with, she could achieve the same effect. No, the effect would be ten times or even a hundred times stronger.

Xu Qi 'an was not guessing for no reason. He had mastered the complete Intercourse Technique left behind by the ancient Taoist sects. Although he had never had a partner for dual cultivation, through his long-term theoretical research, when the cultivation reached a high level, when the man and the woman knew each other well, they would temporarily "fuse".

The Qi dynamic and the Primordial Spirit would interact with each other for a short period of time.

There was a real me in you, and you in me.

"Luo Yuheng is a second-rank cultivator. If she can't extinguish the Karmic Fire, she will die. In order to survive, she had no choice but to become the State Preceptor because the Yuanjing Emperor is the Emperor.

"Luo Yuheng needs a man with great luck. A man with great luck …"

Xu Qi 'an's expression suddenly froze.
