After Yang Rui completed the transaction with Zhang Rang, he obtained enough black pills from the other party and used them on the 13 historical captives captured in the Nihon civilization area one by one.
The effect of the black pills was indeed remarkable. After the Nihon captives were used, they completely lost their mental cultivation method skills. Although this situation was only temporary, from Yang Rui's perspective, all 13 captives were no different from ordinary NPs.
In this way, these captives could be locked up in regular prisons. They only needed to wear shackles to prevent self-harm and send some soldiers to guard them.
Even so, Yang Rui still chose to imprison them in the Sky City. Even if something unexpected happened, it could still restrict these captives who were originally quite strong from the overall environment.
In addition to restoring the trade relationship with Yang Rui, Zhang Rang also brought an unexpected gift to Yang Rui. That was the news about the follow-up chapter of the Soaring Dragon Internal Cultivation Method – Soul.
In the beginning, Yang Rui first obtained the Soaring Dragon Internal Cultivation Method – Soul (Basic) from the eunuch camp, and then obtained the Soaring Dragon Internal Cultivation Method – Soul (Basic) after killing Dong Zhuo. There had been no news about the higher-level chapters of this cultivation method.
As a special cultivation method of the Han Dynasty, the Soaring Dragon Internal Cultivation Method naturally wouldn't be spread too widely. The number of people who knew about it should be very few.
For this reason, Yang Rui had once asked Zhang Rang about the relevant information. After all, the other party had escaped from the Han Dynasty palace and had been fully exposed to the life of the Han Dynasty officials. His familiarity with the affairs of the Han Dynasty officials was incomparable to others.
Of course, Yang Rui knew that there was another person who should be equally familiar with this cultivation method. This person was Empress Dowager He, who was still controlled by Yang Rui.
At first, Yang Rui asked Zhang Rang to no avail. At the same time, he also mentioned this cultivation method to Empress Dowager He. Although the other party denied it at the time. It was difficult to hide the surprised expression on her face at that moment.
Although Empress Dowager He's behavior didn't prove that she knew the Soaring Dragon Internal Force Mantra above the intermediate level, it at least showed that Empress Dowager He knew about this mantra.
The news that Zhang Rang brought this time was somewhat related to Empress Dowager He. What could be confirmed was that the primary mental cultivation method of Soaring Dragon Internal Strength was passed to He Jin through Empress Dowager He. Later, it was accidentally obtained by Dong Zhuo.
This involved some specific details of the struggle between the relatives of the emperor and the group of eunuchs. At that time, a small eunuch collected the body of He Jin after he was killed. He had accidentally discovered the mental cultivation method that He Jin carried with him.
The young eunuch must have been greedy and secretly took the primary mental cultivation method for himself, preparing to secretly improve his own strength. Unfortunately, the group of eunuchs was attacked by the landowning households, so the young eunuch did not get a chance to breathe.
Another eunuch who was on good terms with him inadvertently learned of this matter and was fortunate enough to escape from the Imperial Palace during the great calamity. After escaping the calamity, he drifted outside the Imperial Palace among the common people.
Zhang Rang also recently learned the relevant news from the young eunuch, and this time, he came to Yang Rui's place to tell this news to Yang Rui.
Yang Rui did not care about the tortuous process of the news. At least it could be confirmed that Empress Dowager He was related to the mental cultivation method of Soaring Dragon Internal Strength. Otherwise, the mental cultivation method would not have appeared in He Jin's possession.
"Hahahaha, my Blazing Sun, Prefecture Overseer, how did you think of this concubine?"
The mental cultivation method of Soaring Dragon Internal Strength – Soul was related to Yang Rui's own room for improvement. After sending Zhang Rang away, Yang Rui immediately found Empress Dowager He in the City in the Sky.
After being in contact with Yang Rui for a long time, Empress Dowager He no longer referred to herself as "Zhen" or "This Queen". Instead, she changed her previous style and called herself "This Concubine". Her attitude towards Yang Rui became gentle and ambiguous.
If one did not listen to the content of the conversation and only looked at Empress Dowager He's attitude. People who did not know the situation would even think that this woman was Yang Rui's little wife or something.
In fact, at this time, Empress Dowager He had just passed the age of thirty. In reality, she was in her most charming years.
Moreover, compared to before, Empress Dowager He was more mature and graceful. Whether it was her appearance or her cultivated temperament, it was not something that ordinary women could compare to. Otherwise, with Emperor Han Ling's greedy nature, she would not have been favoured.
"How has the Empress Dowager been recently?"
Yang Rui was not surprised by the change in Empress Dowager He's attitude. At this time, both mother and son were in his hands. In fact, she should have known this long ago. Perhaps she would not have been imprisoned so tightly by Yang Rui.
"Thanks to the care of the Prefecture Overseer, this concubine has been well. I wonder why General has come to find this concubine?"
While speaking, Empress Dowager He had almost given herself over. She reached out to help Yang Rui tidy up his collar, looking more like a young madam welcoming her husband home.
If it was in the past, perhaps Yang Rui would not be able to stand Empress Dowager He's pretentious behavior. But now, he had come into contact with more than one or two extreme women. Knowing that Empress Dowager He was deliberately putting on an act, Yang Rui's expression did not change and his heart did not skip a beat. He let her act as she pleased.
"This time, I came to see the Empress Dowager. First, I came to visit. I don't want the Empress Dowager and the Young Emperor to be wronged. Second, I have a small matter to ask the Empress Dowager. I hope you will not be stingy with your advice."
Hearing Yang Rui's serious words, Empress Dowager He inadvertently stopped her little movements. A thoughtful expression flashed across her beautiful face, and then it was replaced by a face full of joy.
Although the change in Empress Dowager He's expression was fast, it could not escape Yang Rui's eyes. However, Yang Rui did not come here to pretend to be polite. Taking advantage of the moment when Empress Dowager He was thinking, he took two steps forward and directly asked about the Soaring Dragon Internal Cultivation Method.
"Eh? Hehe, what kind of method is it that caught the general's attention? It seems that this is not the first time the general has mentioned this method … "
It was unknown whether it was because Empress Dowager He cared too much about this matter or her personality was like this, but when she heard Yang Rui talk about the Soaring Dragon Internal Cultivation Method, she had the same reaction as last time. Her expression was clearly astonished. This was a very obvious flaw.
However, Empress Dowager He did not seem to notice it. Since she did not know what method Yang Rui was talking about, she could remember that Yang Rui had mentioned it to her before. In fact, there were some contradictions between the two.
"Empress Dowager He, you don't have to be like this. I believe the Empress Dowager is clear about the real situation. Today, I am not prepared to force you too much. You can consider for a period of time. If the Empress Dowager is willing to take out the Soaring Dragon Internal Cultivation Method, I can also fulfill a promise to the Empress Dowager …"
Before meeting with Empress Dowager He, Yang Rui had already thought of the general situation. Just as Yang Rui said, he did not intend to force the other party. If he could use other methods to get the other party to cooperate, it would naturally be for the best.
Moreover, if nothing unexpected happened, Yang Rui could roughly guess the Empress Dowager He's condition. He was also blessed with good fortune and just so happened to have a backup plan waiting for the other party.
Currently, Yang Rui had just started practicing the Soaring Dragon Internal Cultivation Method, Soul (Elementary). In a short period of time, he was not in a hurry to find a higher level method. The current level of the method required a lot of time to upgrade.
