Imperial City, Imperial Palace.
This place occupied an extremely large area. One third of Imperial City was enclosed and became the forbidden area of the Imperial Palace.
Every building here was resplendent with red walls and green tiles, carved dragons and painted phoenixes, gardens, fake mountains, streams and pavilions. Every step was a scene, every scene was painted. It was truly incomparably beautiful and tranquil. In front of the Imperial Palace, there were also nine dragon bridges. They were like bridges that spanned between heaven and earth, appearing majestic and imposing, showing the extraordinariness and nobility of the Imperial Palace.
The Imperial Palace was the place where the Emperor and the civil and military officials discussed matters.
Today, the current Emperor had his morning court session. He wore a five-clawed dragon robe, a purple gold crown on his head, a dragon-shaped belt on his waist, and a pair of golden cloud boots on his feet. Sitting on the golden dragon throne, his noble aura was indisputable, as if he was a five-clawed dragon looking down at the civil and military officials. It was so majestic.
The civil and military officials below wore different uniforms. The civil and military officials wore embroidered robes while the military officials wore general uniforms. They were lined up clearly on the left and right. All of them kowtowed towards the Emperor and shouted, "Long live the Emperor!"
The Emperor asked aloofly, "What important matters do you all have to report?"
Immediately after, the civil and military officials successively submitted the memorials that they had prepared long ago and explained the problems one by one.
The most important matter today was naturally the outcome of the war at the border.
General Luo Gongming stood up and reported the victory: "In the battle at the border, the Barbarian Tribe's Patriarch personally led the troops into battle. After a few days of intense battle, the results were finally revealed. Marshal Fen Tianxiong obtained the final victory. He killed thirty thousand enemies and beheaded fourteen Kings, spreading the might of our Great Xia!"
Following Luo Gongming's words, the civil and military officials all revealed a joyous expression.
The Emperor also laughed heartily, "General Fen really did not disappoint me. How should I reward him?"
"Your Majesty, although General Fen's contributions cannot go unnoticed, there was news that our dynasty had the help of a special general. Otherwise, the war would not have ended so quickly." Luo Gongming added.
"Oh, what special general helped?" The Emperor asked.
"A soldier from the Death Legion, Yang Wu, suddenly emerged and became a King in one fell swoop. He defeated the Barbarian Tribe's army, including one of the top ten Barbarian Kings, Shi Kailei." Luo Gongming said.
"Yang Wu is He Yunren? Could it be that like the Protector General, he also comprehended the Dao of Death, which is why he was able to make such a great contribution? "The Emperor asked curiously.
Luo Gongming replied, "Yang Wu is the son of the criminal, Yang Zhennan. He is also the elder brother of the new top scorer, Yang Wen!"
When Yang Wu's identity was announced, the civil and military officials began to discuss it.
"Wasn't the Yang Clan confiscated? How come there's another survivor? "
I remember, this Yang Wu once offended the Xiao Junzhu of Prince Fu An, so he was sent to the mountain prison. How can he become a general and kill the enemy? Is it possible that they have the same name?
"That's right. If it wasn't for someone with the same name, how could this Yang Wu rise so suddenly in such a short period of time? Back then, it took the Lord Protector more than ten years to achieve success."
"I think it's possible. The previous top scorer was a Literary Star. His brother might be a Martial God."
…
Silence! The eunuch standing next to the Emperor shouted.
In an instant, the hall became completely quiet.
"General Luo, are you sure it's that Yang Wu?" The Emperor asked with narrowed eyes.
"I'm sure!" Luo Gongming replied.
At this time, the civil official on the left stood up and said, "Answering back to the Emperor, this minister has something to say."
"Prime Minister Song, what do you want to say?" The Emperor looked at the civil official who stood up and asked.
This civil official was the Prime Minister, Song Lirui. He was the Emperor's confidant. He had a high position and was a big man.
He looked like he was in his early fifties. He still looked young. He had a beautiful beard, a red face, and wise eyes. When he was young, he must have been a handsome scholar.
"Yang Wu was originally a criminal. He used all his strength to repel the enemy. This is his duty. He has made a great contribution. The Emperor should reward him by making him a deputy general and let him assist Marshal Fen in guarding the border. If he makes a great contribution within ten years, he can be allowed to return to Imperial City and release Yang Zhennan and his wife. They will be deeply grateful and will be willing to sacrifice their lives." Song Lirui said reasonably.
As soon as his words fell, many people agreed with him. It was enough to show that he had many henchmen.
Luo Gongming glanced sideways at Song Lirui. A complicated look flashed through his old eyes. He opened his mouth to refute, but in the end, he didn't say anything.
"Yes, my beloved minister's words are reasonable. We'll do as my beloved minister says!" The Emperor thought for a moment and replied.
…
Far away at the border.
Spring had arrived. The winter snow had long gone. The ice and snow had melted and the flowers bloomed.
In the vast land, there were rays of sunlight shining down, warming the bodies and minds of all living things.
In the Barbarian Suppression Army, many soldiers who were seriously injured were given healing pills. The lightly injured soldiers were smeared with medicinal liquid. Their injuries were all under control. They were all filled with gratitude towards Yang Wu.
Originally, the army was in a hurry to get the healing pills. However, after Yang Wu provided the healing pills, the situation was immediately alleviated.
The soldiers in the army didn't know that Yang Wu was the one who provided the pills. Some lightly injured soldiers went to the Death Legion to get the medicinal liquid and heard the news from the soldiers of the Death Legion.
It turned out that Yang Wu was not only the Youth King, but also an alchemist.
When this news was spread, all the soldiers were filled with admiration and worship for Yang Wu.
The Youth King who was not even twenty years old was one of a kind in the army. Alchemists were even harder to find. If they had half of his ability, they would be satisfied.
Because of Yang Wu, the soldiers of the other armies were much friendlier to the soldiers of the Death Legion. They didn't give them the cold shoulder like before.
Of course, all of this was deliberately spread by Lu Zhi. He also asked for Yang Wu's opinion before doing so. He had to establish absolute prestige for Yang Wu in the army. Even if his achievements shocked the Lord, there was no need to be afraid. After all, Yang Wu already had the ability to be fearless.
Yang Wu didn't have the leisure to pay attention to this matter. He was wholeheartedly refining the healing pills. He condensed one batch after another, which consumed a lot of energy. Fortunately, he had the fast absorption ability of the Supreme Nine Mysteries Formula, which allowed him to recover his Qi very quickly. If it was other alchemists, they wouldn't have such a strong endurance.
Now, he could easily refine a batch of healing pills. He could condense twenty pills in one batch. His alchemy level had greatly improved.
He didn't blindly refine healing pills. Occasionally, he would refine Qi-increasing pills and Acupoint Breaking Pills.
The reason why he refined the other two pills was firstly to further improve his alchemy skills. Secondly, it was to prepare for the soldiers of the Death Legion.
Qi-increasing pills could help soldiers in the Warrior Realm to improve their strength, while Acupoint Breaking Pills could help soldiers in the General Realm to break through. These were all pills that the soldiers desired.
After seven days of crazy refining, Yang Wu seemed to be possessed. His hair was flying, his eyes were bloodshot, and his whole body was emitting a strong medicinal smell. On the other hand, Blue Demoness was urged to the extreme by him. His control of it was already perfect.
When he refined the last batch of pills, he let out a sigh of relief. He took out a mouthful of Frost Spring Spirit Spring and swallowed it to quickly calm himself down.
At this time, there were more than ten thousand healing pills in Yang Wu's tent. They filled several sacks.
"I can finally report to the Death Legion!" Yang Wu sighed softly.
After doing all this, he didn't come out of seclusion. He asked someone to carry these healing pills out and send them to the marshal's tent. He then went into seclusion again.
He planned to refine the King Pill for the Rose of Death in half a month. He wasn't very confident at the moment. He had to seize the time to properly organize the essentials of the Basics of Alchemy. At the same time, he had to consolidate his knowledge of alchemy for the past few days so that he could better refine the King Pill.
After another three days, Yang Wu felt that he had a deeper understanding of the Basics of Alchemy. After digesting everything in the Divine Court, he didn't continue.
He took out an Interspatial Ring. It was the one he took from one of the four young kings when he first met the Silver Pattern Turtle.
This Interspatial Ring had already recognized its owner. It wasn't easy for him to take things out of it.
Yang Wu looked at it and smiled. His soul in the Divine Court jumped, and his majestic mental power slammed into the Interspatial Ring.
Pa!
Something in the Interspatial Ring seemed to break. The space inside completely appeared in Yang Wu's senses.
This was a Interspatial Ring about five square meters. There weren't many things in it, but every one of them was of high quality.
Yang Wu looked carefully and found that there were hundreds of mid-level Xuan Spirit Stones. Their value was ten times higher than that of low-level Xuan Spirit Stones. There were also some elixirs, spiritual herbs, scrolls, and some strange things.
Those elixirs weren't bad either. There were healing elixirs, blood replenishing elixirs, and Xuan increasing elixirs. They all had their own uses.
There were dozens of spiritual herbs with various medicinal properties. Among them, most of them were gold Xuan Qi. Among them, there was a Golden Pear Fruit, which was a King Pill.
The value of the other three scrolls was not low either. One of them was called "Small Diamond Body", which was an Imperial Skill. The other was called "Map of the Land", which described the distribution of the various regions in the Transcendent World. The last scroll made Yang Wu extremely surprised. It was the last four moves of the "Seven Folds of Wild Waves".
"Now I've finally gathered all seven moves of" Seven-Fold Wild Waves ". I can unleash its power!" Yang Wu said to himself happily.
Then, he looked at another messy pile of things. There were demon cores, strange stones, and ancient remnants.
He took out a black demon core. There was a gloomy aura emitting from it, as if there was a black crocodile hidden inside, roaring and rushing.
"This is a black crocodile demon core. It's suitable for Rose to refine King Pills. She's lucky!" Yang Wu muttered.
As for the strange stones, they were suitable for refining weapons. They were all King Grade materials.
Finally, Yang Wu's gaze fell on the thumb-sized bronze eye. He felt that there was some movement in his Supreme Nine Mysteries Formula, as if something was attracting it.
"Could it be that there's another type of Xuan Essence Qi?" He took out the Ancient Bronze Eye and looked at it for a while. He didn't find anything strange. He hesitated for a moment and urged Blue Enchantress to burn the Ancient Bronze Eye. Suddenly, the Ancient Bronze Eye seemed to be injected with energy. The Ancient Bronze Eye shone with a bright light, and this light entered his God's Courtyard.
A remnant scene quietly appeared in Yang Wu's mind!
