In the inner courtyard of the Aodong Royal Palace, the imperial doctors stood outside and whispered to each other. After everyone met, they shook their heads and expressed their helplessness.
Liao Li in the room was also shaking his head frequently and muttering something in his mouth.
He saw Zhu Qing sitting there and begging Liao Li to cast a spell to save the child lying on the bed again.
Gao Shou remained silent on the side. This rescue was not under his control. Besides, he couldn't control it. The task he took was to escort.
Around the bed stood a group of women and three princes, but they were all sighing there.
Liao Li was also riding a tiger. Originally, he cured the illness of the Aodong King Zhu Qing. He didn't expect that the next day, the youngest prince would be sick.
And it was the same as Zhu Qing's appearance yesterday. No, it was more serious. His face was black and his limbs were weak as he lay in bed.
At the head of the bed was Queen Xi Fengjiao, crying with one hand and stroking her son's forehead with the other.
In the guest room, Yi Tian didn't open his eyes until nine o 'clock in the morning.
After a night of cultivation, he finally absorbed all the spiritual power of the Yunfeng Jade Bamboo Shoot.
Now the concentration of the wood spirit in his dantian was ten times more than before.
And since last night, Yi Tian slowly cultivated according to the First Wood Spirit Secret Art that had been memorized in his mind.
Coupled with the original cultivation of the Yi Wood Spirit Secret Art, the two spirit energies completely merged into pure wood spirit energy.
After opening his eyes in the morning, he was surprised to find that his First Wood Spirit Secret Art had been cultivated to the third level of Qi Refining Stage.
As long as he returned to the sect and found a place with rich spirit energy to cultivate, he would definitely be able to reach the sixth level of Qi Refining Stage.
At that time, it would be easy to attack the seventh level of Qi Refining Stage.
After the joy, Yi Tian got up and wanted to find Liao Li and Gao Shou to return to the sect.
As soon as he went out, he saw those hurried palace people with worried faces, and behind them were the imperial doctors shuttling back and forth.
Yi Tian, who realized that something was wrong, hurriedly ran out of the door. After asking the little palace maid, Yi Tian went directly to the harem.
Yi Tian saw Liao Li, who was racking his brains, and Gao Shou, who had nothing to do, outside Zhu Qing's bedroom. After understanding the situation, Yi Tian directly told Liao Li the question in his heart.
After listening to Yi Tian's words, Liao Li felt incredible, but he felt that it was reasonable and there was no way to refute it. Even Gao Shou, who was on the side, agreed with Yi Tian's proposal.
A moment later, above the palace, Yi Tian and Gao Shou each flew on their respective weapons, circling in the air a few times.
Yi Tian looked at the direction of the palace below and felt that there was nothing wrong.
To the west of Aodong was the Western Cang Mountain. To the north was the Western Cang Mountain, and to the east was the plains.
In the south, the winding Fen River divided the capital city into two parts.
Looking to the east, there was the official road, which ran parallel to the Fen River from the Aodong Plain to the East Sea.
Looking to the west, there were the mountains of Aodong. Yi Tian thought that this was an excellent place with good feng shui, but why were all the princes' faces so dark? There must be a problem.
Turning back to look at Gao Shou, he saw that he was riding a flying sword very well, unlike him, who was wobbling on a flywheel. When he had time, he must ask him properly.
After a while, the two of them slowly landed in the inner courtyard of the palace. After nodding to Liao Li, Yi Tian told him his idea and solution.
After the three of them entered the bedroom, they told Zhu Qing that they hoped to mobilize a battalion of imperial guards and ask a prince to help lead them to investigate the imperial mausoleum.
They also promised that if they could not handle this matter, they would inform the sect to send more people to help.
Only then did Zhu Qing feel reassured. After thinking about it, he agreed.
Taking out the king's token, he called over his three sons and asked them who could lead the troops. He saw that the three of them had a difficult expression, and he was also annoyed.
However, Yi Tian insisted that a prince must follow, and the atmosphere became awkward.
Just as he was feeling awkward, he suddenly heard a commotion outside the bedroom. Zhu Qing's face was filled with anger.
A young man about twenty-five or twenty-six years old wanted to rush in, but he was stopped outside by the palace servants.
Yi Tian found this interesting and quickly asked Zhu Qing about this person's identity. However, he saw Zhu Qing throw the token to the young man, telling him to go to the imperial guards and gather a battalion of soldiers to listen to the three immortals.
It seemed that this was also a prince, but his behavior was not liked by his father.
Therefore, he could not even enter the bedroom for an audience. However, in Yi Tian's eyes, this kind of person was actually useful.
At least he was better than those three cowardly princes. If it was really as he thought, this prince would be the key.
From the words of others, he learned that this was the second prince, Zhu Yourong. Because he was not a legitimate son and his birth mother was a palace maid, he was not liked by Zhu Qing.
About three quarters of an hour later, at Yi Tian's request, Zhu Yourong gathered a battalion of soldiers in the square in front of the palace to wait for orders.
Yi Tian saw that it was almost noon, and the Yang energy was gradually reaching its peak, so he asked Zhu Yourong to lead the way to the imperial tomb.
Setting off from the west gate of Aodong City, the group of people rushed for fifteen minutes and arrived at the imperial tomb at Western Cang Mountain.
Yi Tian asked Zhu Yourong to bring people into the imperial tomb to investigate if there was anything special. He, Gao Shou, and Liao Li walked while discussing.
Aodong's imperial tomb was not big. From the founding Aodong King to Zhu Qing, it had been less than ten generations, which was 180 years.
In Yi Tian's opinion, Zhu Qing could be considered to have been in power for a long time.
After the three of them entered the imperial tomb, Yi Tian looked at each of the emperor's coffins and did not feel that there was anything wrong.
As he was looking, he suddenly heard a soldier shout that there were some marks near the ancestral emperor's coffin.
The three of them immediately went forward to take a closer look and saw that there were several bright red talismans drawn on one side of the coffin.
Liao Li and Gao Shou shook their heads. The two of them did not recognize them, but they felt that they were not good things.
Yi Tian looked at the talismans and fell into deep thought. This was the Spiritual Corpse Luck Extraction Technique recorded in the Yin Corpse Technique.
By using the remains of the ancestors to extract the luck of the younger generation, it was usually done by those mortal emperors, nobles, generals, and ministers.
Because these were all people with great luck, even if they were dead, their family's luck would continue.
The luck extracted from them was a rare tonic for the corpse refiners of the Corpse School.
However, this was still Chiyang School's territory, although it was still quite a distance away from the Corpse School in the north.
Was this cultivator really not afraid that the Commandment Hall of the Scarlet Sun Sect would find trouble with him? Or did he have his own difficulties?
Gao Shou and Liao Li saw that Yi Tian was deep in thought and did not want to interrupt him. After a moment, they made a decision.
According to Yi Tian's personality, he was not afraid of anything, but this time, the three of them needed to work together.
Because the other party was definitely not a weakling, they had to communicate with each other first. If someone backed out, it would be troublesome.
After surveying the Imperial Mausoleum, Yi Tian let Zhu Yourong take a battalion of soldiers back to the capital first, and then they would discuss further.
He, Gao Shou and Liao Li found a quiet place to discuss how to deal with this.
The Yin Qi was the strongest at midnight. The cultivators of the Corpse School liked to come out at this time to refine corpses.
Yi Tian arranged for Gao Shou and Liao Li to lie in ambush in the bushes outside the Imperial Mausoleum. Zhu Yourong, wearing armor and holding a sword, also followed Yi Tian.
Although he had also been tricked into coming here, when he thought about what Yi Tian had said to him in the afternoon, he finally made up his mind to give it a try.
The three cultivators of the Chiyang School could escape, but he was already deeply involved. If he did not fight, he would not have a way out.
Gao Shou and Liao Li, who were lying in ambush, were also sweating.
According to the discussion between Yi Tian and them today, the cultivator who stole the luck should be a seriously injured Foundation Establishment cultivator.
Generally, the luck of a noble, marquis, general, or minister family was only useful for Qi Condensation cultivators. Only the Zhu family of Aodong could meet the requirements of a Foundation Establishment cultivator.
According to the days of Zhu Qing's illness, it had been almost a month.
However, this cultivator was still constantly absorbing the luck of the founding emperor of the Imperial Mausoleum, indicating that he must be seriously injured.
Moreover, every night, his excessive demands became more intense, which caused the direct descendants of the Zhu family to have dark faces.
Knowing the opponent's situation was easy. Now that he was in the light and they were in the dark, it was better to plan a trap.
Gao Shou was a militant. Although he heard that the opponent was a Foundation Establishment cultivator, he was also eager to give it a try.
Liao Li was a bit worried. After all, he was not like the people of the Discipline Hall. His strength was in alchemy, but in front of a big profit, he was also tempted.
He was worried about what to do if the opponent almost recovered. The three of them might not be able to deal with him.
Seeing that one was hesitant and one was eager to try, Yi Tian could only give two solutions.
The first was to inform the sect. This way, the person who came was also a Foundation Establishment cultivator. In the end, they might not even be able to drink the soup.
Moreover, it was hard to say if the Zhu family could hold on until then.
If all the male descendants of the Aodong Country's king died, then needless to say, Liao Li's mission would be considered a failure. When he returned, he would have to pay double the contribution points.
The second solution was to simply go all the way. The three of them planned to deal with this Foundation Establishment cultivator.
One must know that a Foundation Establishment cultivator's wealth was not ordinary. Moreover, after reporting back to the sect, they could receive additional contribution points.
The three of them discussed for a long time whether to go or stay, although it was two to one.
However, if Liao Li did not agree, then this matter would also fail.
In Yi Tian's plan, Liao Li, this pill refiner, was also a key point.
In the end, Liao Li asked the question in his heart. As long as Yi Tian explained the plan and everyone felt that it was feasible, then they would do it.
After listening to Yi Tian's plan, the two of them were stunned. This was simply too risky.
If they were not careful, then they would be completely wiped out. However, under Yi Tian's insistence, the three of them acted separately. He also said with deep meaning, "Wealth comes from danger."
Gao Shou surveyed the terrain and looked for a favorable ambush point. Liao Li hid in his room to refine pills.
As for Yi Tian, he indeed went to find Zhu Yourong. Only by convincing this second prince could they complete the ambush plan.
Moreover, the two of them discussed in the room for an entire afternoon. In the end, Zhu Yourong clenched his teeth and decided to go all out.
For himself and for the throne, if he did not go, then he would just be waiting for death. If he went, then there was still a chance of survival.
After everything was arranged properly, they waited for the Foundation Establishment cultivator to come.
More people would make things worse. Therefore, Yi Tian only asked for four people to ambush.
At midnight, a cold wind blew. Suddenly, a black shadow fell from the sky. After passing by the soldiers guarding the imperial tomb, it directly went in.
When Yi Tian saw it, he immediately gestured to the three people. The four of them quietly went forward and surrounded the entrance of the imperial tomb.
