"Don't panic!"
Sun Mo patted Li Ziqi's shoulder and looked at Li Xuan. "The alchemy pill you're concocting is called the Ten Thousand Years Soul Shifting Pill. The concoction process is extremely complicated and dangerous. Not only does it require extremely high alchemy skills, but it also requires grandmaster-grade puppetry."
"A bunch of nonsense!"
Li Xuan had a mocking expression on his face, but his heart was thumping. This fellow was right.
When Han Cangshui was adventuring in the Darkness Continent when he was middle-aged, he had a chance to get this recipe from a marketplace by chance.
"The inventor of this pill formula named it the Ten Thousand Years Soul Shifting Pill. It means that as long as one consumes this pill, their soul can be shifted and their life extended, allowing them to live for another 10,000 years!"
Sun Mo explained, "Because of his many years of alchemy, although the inventor of the pill recipe had many alchemy pills that could extend one's lifespan, his body had been corroded by medicinal qi and pill toxins all year round and was no longer healthy. Moreover, as he grew older, his aged body became increasingly inconvenient. Therefore, he invented this alchemy pill.
The night breeze blew gently as everyone listened attentively.
"Do you know? This alchemy pill actually has extremely great side effects. If not, why didn't the inventor extend his life until now? "
Sun Mo smiled, intentionally whetting Han Cangshui's appetite.
"What side effects?"
A female voice rang out.
"Aunt Mei, I'm still waiting for Han Cangshui to ask!"
Sun Mo smiled bitterly.
"There's no solution to it. I'm curious!"
Mei Yazhi walked out from the shadows.
"Mei Yazhi!"
Li Xuan was shocked. "Why are you here?"
She was the most dazzling major character among the younger generation in the alchemy world. She was only in her thirties and already had the reputation of a quasi-ancestor-level alchemist.
"Sun Mo and I are friends!"
Mei Yazhi rolled her eyes at Sun Mo, thinking that this fellow was a little bad. (I don't have the time to concoct alchemy pills now. I have to take care of my daughter's child.)
(Sigh, Zi Yu is really disappointing.)
(You've been following him for over a year, but you can't even capture his heart. If you really can't, can't you just drug him?) (You're from an alchemist clan!)
"This pill formula is too perfect. It's so perfect that the soul that is shifted out can completely replace the puppet's soul and occupy his body!"
Sun Mo assessed Li Xuan. "For example, you can freely control Li Xuan's body and do whatever you want."
"You have the pill formula, so you should know that as you nurture your soul and strengthen it, your control over Li Xuan will become stronger and stronger. However, your body and soul are ultimately not one. Therefore, when you encounter a powerful profession that can control souls, such as spirit controllers, Witchcraft masters, or puppeteers, your soul will face the risk of being imprisoned."
"Furthermore, because your soul is extremely powerful, after they imprisoned your soul, they were able to greatly interfere with your main body."
Li Xuan's expression turned extremely ugly. Although he didn't know spiritual control or witchcraft, he was a puppeteer, so he knew that in theory, Sun Mo's hypothesis existed.
"I am a Master Psychic who has mastered four Divine Languages of Psychic. You should know that, right?"
Sun Mo smiled. "If I wasn't worried about hurting Li Xuan's soul, I would have already made a move!"
"I understand now. All of this is part of your conspiracy, right?"
Han Cangshui finally understood.
Sun Mo shrugged and suddenly swung his hand.
Divine Language of Psychic Control, Lu Zhizheng, activated!
As an 8-star great teacher, although Han Cangshui was still a level away from becoming a secondary saint, he was already a major character in the great teacher world.
He had many disciples, not to mention that Han Cang Shui was a Pill Refinement Grandmaster who used pills to build up a network of connections.
If any sovereign king were to kill an 8-star master teacher without a proper reason, it would surely bring about great trouble to the empire.
Han Cangshui's method of stealing the country was too bizarre. Sun Mo had to wait for him to possess Li Xuan and reveal a lot of clues before he could prove his conspiracy.
Swoosh!
Li Xuan drew his sword and slashed out furiously. At the same time, he did a somersault and got off his warhorse. However, that beam of light was too fast and struck him in the blink of an eye.
BOOM!
Li Xuan's body shone brightly and he coughed up a mouthful of blood. A human-shaped illusory figure floated out.
"Failed?"
Li Xiu frowned.
"Don't be anxious, I still have an emergency plan!"
Sun Mo tossed out a small person weaved from withered straw. His hands rapidly formed seals and a huge suction force was generated from the straw doll.
This was the Puppet Soul-Seizing Technique, specially used to capture ghosts and spirits.
This time around, Sun Mo succeeded.
The heavily injured soul that had blocked the divine language of spiritual control was sucked away.
"Alright, we have the evidence. Let's go and capture Han Cangshui now!"
Sun Mo heaved a sigh of relief.
The situation was set.
Even if Han Cangshui escaped today, he would be caught in the future because there would no longer be a place for him in the Nine Provinces. However, he wouldn't be able to escape.
Since Sun Mo could create a change in the Xuanwu Gate, he had already considered all aspects.
...
"Sun Mo, f * * *!"
Han Cangshui, who was left outside the city gate, tugged on the reins and galloped away. Right now, he was filled with regret.
(How good would it be if I didn't have the ambition to occupy the magpie's nest!)
(No, this can't be blamed on me. If it wasn't for Sun Mo, I would have succeeded.)
Think about it, if it wasn't for Sun Mo saving Li Ziqi, trash like her who was rejected by a secondary saint wouldn't have the qualifications to compete with Li Xuan.
After 20 years, Li Yingqi would die and Li Xuan would succeed the throne. Then, he would be able to transfer his soul and marry his daughter to him. At that time, he would be the country's father-in-law, the Emperor's Preceptor, and he might even be a secondary saint. In addition, Li Xuan would be the emperor's ruler. He would then be able to calmly swap the Li Clan's heir with the Han Clan's.
By doing so, his bloodline would become the new master of the Great Tang Dynasty!
"It's all Sun Mo's fault!"
Han Cangshui was about to go crazy from anger. Suddenly, he pulled on the reins and raised his head, staring ahead.
An old man teleported and appeared in front of him.
"Secondary Saint Shi?"
Han Cangshui drew in a cold gasp.
(Damn, in order to capture me, Sun Mo has really gone all out and even sent out a secondary saint.)
"Han Cangshui, I didn't expect you to be such a person!"
Shi Sheng felt very regretful. "If you want to be a great teacher, you have to be a proper person first. Why are you regressing?"
"Is there anything wrong with what I'm doing?"
When Han Cangshui heard this, he was directly angered. "I've always felt that the emperor's position is for those who are capable. Li Yingqi, Li Xuan, and King Qi, what the hell are they? Just because their bloodlines are good, they can become the emperor's ruler? Just because their descendants are able to sit on the throne and accept the worship of tens of thousands of people, what right do they have?
"I personally feel that the descendants of the Han Clan aren't any weaker than them!"
Shi Sheng shook his head. "That's because their ancestors accumulated good karma for their descendants!"
"Then can't I accumulate good karma and change the emperor for this junior?"
Han Cangshui mocked.
"Treason!"
Li Xiu berated, "Men, take him down!"
"Han Cangshui, for the sake of your family, why don't you surrender?"
Sun Mo rode on his warhorse and felt very emotional when he heard this. If there was a chance, who wouldn't want to become the emperor?
The most impressive aristocratic clan was definitely the royal family.
In the past, Han Cangshui had also been very conscientious and conscientious in teaching Li Xuan seriously. But after he successfully refined the Myriad Years Soul Shifting Pill, he had other thoughts.
Li Xiu and Sun Mo were both meticulous people. They had joined hands to come up with this plan and naturally wouldn't give Han Cangshui a chance to make a comeback.
"The winner takes all. I have no complaints. If you guys promise to let my family off, I can surrender!"
Han Cangshui saw that he couldn't escape and started to negotiate.
Plotting to kill the emperor and seize his country, this was definitely a great crime that would implicate his entire clan! No matter which country he was in, he wouldn't be forgiven.
"No way!"
Li Xiu didn't agree. From her point of view, Han Cangshui was like a cornered beast. It was just a matter of a few more people dying. But if they didn't kill his entire family, how could they maintain the prestige of the Great Tang Royal Clan?
The battle began.
Sun Mo also prepared to make a move but was stopped by Li Xiu.
"Right now, your body is priceless. You mustn't take the risk!"
This time around, Mei Yazhi didn't come alone. She brought many helpers with her. Therefore, 15 minutes later, Han Cangshui was taken down.
On the second day, Li Xiu called for a meeting. All the officials at the sixth-grade and above had to be present.
Li Xiu announced Han Cangshui's great scheme of using alchemy pills to poison Li Yingqi and seize Li Xuan's body to seize the throne.
After hearing this, all the officials were shocked.
The country couldn't be without a ruler for a single day. Li Yingqi's stroke was caused by Han Cangshui's alchemy pills, so there was almost no hope for him to recover. In addition, Li Xuan was also crippled by the Myriad Years Soul Shifting Pill. Therefore, Li Xiu and Zheng Qingfang jointly suggested for Li Ziqi to succeed the throne.
A princess with actual authority and an extremely influential doyen from three dynasties joined hands to support Li Ziqi. Therefore, even if there were people who were unhappy with this suggestion, they wouldn't dare to raise it.
As an official, one could be lacking in ability, but they absolutely mustn't make a mistake when it came to choosing sides.
Therefore, with Zheng Qingfang in the lead, the officials jointly submitted a request for the princess to ascend to the throne.
The time was set to be one month later.
...
"Eldest Martial Sister, what are you thinking about?"
Lu Zhiruo was very happy during these few days because her eldest martial sister was going to become the emperor and become the person with the highest status in the royal palace. Therefore, as her junior martial sister, she could go wherever she wanted to play.
In the past, no one dared to stop the papaya girl in some forbidden areas like the place where the emperor stayed.
"Nothing much!"
Li Ziqi squeezed out a smile.
Honestly speaking, she had no interest in becoming the emperor. She only wanted to follow her teacher and learn.
Moreover, during these few days, she had been thinking about something.
Given her aunt and teacher's intelligence, since they had deduced that Han Cangshui wanted to rebel, why didn't they take measures in advance to prevent her father and brother from suffering?
It wasn't that they couldn't do it. Then, there was only one possibility left. They intentionally allowed Han Cangshui to do this because they wanted to clear the obstacles and allow her to ascend to the throne in advance.
"No, I can't think like this. Aunt and teacher are doing this for my sake. I should be grateful to them."
Li Ziqi decided not to think about this anymore.
...
Qi Royal Palace.
"True Jade, make some preparations. Accompany me to Chang 'an to congratulate Li Ziqi on her ascension to the throne!"
Just when Qi King was fretting over what reason he should find to meet Sun Mo, Sun Mo actually delivered himself to his doorstep. "Quickly help me choose a group of 100 guards. This time around, no matter what, I'm going to establish the flying guards."
"Li Ziqi ascended to the throne?"
Jiang Yuzhen was stunned. "What about her father and brother?"
"Why do you care so much? Isn't it the same for the royal family? "
The Qi King didn't care if Li Ziqi was trying to usurp the throne or if she had killed her brothers or father. After all, since ancient times, princes would do anything for the sake of the throne.
"Anyway, hurry up!"
The Qi King instructed, "I reckon that this time around, there will be many envoys going to congratulate Li Ziqi!"
King Qi was right. First of all, the Tang Empire was powerful and was ranked in the top five of the nine prefectures. Now, with the fall of Emperor Xia, the Tang Empire's rise to the next level was just around the corner. Therefore, it was natural to have a good relationship with such a big empire.
Moreover, Li Ziqi's teacher was Sun Mo. Everyone coveted his God Hands and his Imperial Sky Spirit Rune. Hence, they would usually send their ministers out. But this time around, the crown princes took the initiative to volunteer.
After the Five Countries Mock War, Sun Mo's fame might not be as good among the commoners, but among the nobles and aristocrats of the royal family, as well as in the great teacher circle, he was a household name.
Many people wanted to acknowledge him as their master.
…
The Jiang Family Mansion!
Jiang Zhitong locked himself in his room and had not eaten for three days.
"What's wrong? You still haven't figured it out? "
Jiang Wei pushed the door open and entered.
"Father!"
Jiang Zhitong felt depressed. "Sun Mo is about to become the imperial preceptor!"
"So what?"
Jiang Wei asked.
"…"
Jiang Zhitong regretted it. (If I knew this would happen, I wouldn't have offended him.)
Sigh, actually, in the past, he had also suppressed some young great teachers who had gone against the Jiang Clan, but nothing had happened to them. In the end, he had kicked a metal plate because of Sun Mo.
"I've told you many times before that the prestige of a great teacher clan is built through one's strength and nurturing of the younger generation. I've always told you to be kind to others, but you always refuse to listen, thinking that our Jiang Clan can't be humiliated. Actually, that's because you overestimate yourself."
Jiang Wei sat down and tried his best to persuade him.
"What now?"
Jiang Zhitong felt a headache. Ever since Sun Mo became a spirit rune ancestor, he couldn't afford to offend him. Moreover, Sun Mo now had the title of Great Tang's Imperial Preceptor.
"Go and apologize!"
Jiang Wei sighed.
Jiang Zhitong hesitated for a while before lowering his head. "This child obeys!"
"Actually, right now, the Zhou family is feeling worse than you!"
Jiang Wei teased.
"Haha!"
At the thought of the Zhou family, Jiang Zhitong's mood became better again.
…
Indeed, as Li Ziqi became the Great Tang's empress, Second Saint Zhou was going to be nailed to the pillar of shame in the great teacher world.
Zhou Clan, a courtyard.
Second Saint Zhou sat in a pavilion, looking at the fish in the lake, not saying a word.
He had been hunting birds his entire life, but he didn't expect that he would be pecked blind in his old age.
"Why did Li Ziqi suddenly get up?"
Second Saint Zhou couldn't understand what method Sun Mo had used to nurture her into a talent.
"Grandfather, should we send a congratulatory gift?"
Zhou Kebin asked cautiously.
"…"
Second Saint Zhou also felt that it was difficult.
Who would have thought that a princess, and a trash at that, would become the empress?
Actually, back then, if King Tang had brought Li Ziqi here to acknowledge him as her teacher, Second Saint Zhou would have accepted her. After all, no great teacher would dare to accept someone he had rejected. But who would have thought that Sun Mo would appear?
Ever since Zhou Kebin was born, he had never seen his grandfather so worried before. That was true. In other clans, it was their descendants who would ruin their clan's reputation, but his grandfather had become the laughing stock of the great teacher world.
This was also thanks to his grandfather having the title of a secondary saint. If it was some other great teacher, they could forget about doing this for the rest of their lives.
"Get your teacher to send a congratulatory gift!"
Second Saint Zhou made a decision. "Congratulations to Li Ziqi for becoming the Great Tang's empress!"
