Chapter 220 Opportunity
Back at Jingyang Palace, Li Xuan and Yu'er treated Princess Ankang to delicious food and drinks.
Especially Li Xuan, knowing that Princess Ankang worked hard and it was not easy for him to win, he was so well-behaved.
The little cat pinched her waist and legs, stepped on her back to warm her hands, and used every possible means, really showing off all her skills.
Princess Ankang was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth when she slept, like a little fool.
Li Xuan nestled in Princess Ankang's arms, and he kept nudging her. He was so coquettish that he could only be described as "professional".
It should be said that if Princess Ankang hadn't been so powerful this time, Li Xuan could only stare blankly.
After all, he couldn't do this throwing competition for her, and the princes and princesses had to do it themselves.
Li Xuan had previously asked Shang Zongguan and Zhao Feng about ways to break through to the marrow training realm as soon as possible.
Only Shang Zongguan seemed to have some ideas, but let them win the Imperial Garden Competition this month first.
Now, they have completed the prerequisite proposed by Shang Zongguan, and the next step is to see what specific solution Shang Zongguan has.
Li Xuan is now anxious, fearing that his strength cannot keep up with Princess Ankang's constantly improving physique.
In order to survive, he can slow down the speed of absorbing the coldness in Princess Ankang's body.
But Princess Ankang can't wait.
If the coldness is not completely eradicated and Princess Ankang's body is restored to health, Li Xuan really can't let go of that heart.
That night, Li Xuan slept with Princess Ankang beautifully, but his tail was wagging restlessly, unable to hide the excitement in his heart.
"I don't know what solution Shang Zongguan has?"
"It's really exciting!"
...
Early the next morning, Li Xuan opened his eyes first, and didn't care whether Princess Ankang beside him woke up or not. He kissed her in a daze, jumped out of bed and went out to the direction of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Yesterday, in order to reward Princess Ankang, Li Xuan had waited until today, but now he couldn't wait any longer.
Li Xuan ran and jumped to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and went straight to the courtyard of Shang Zongguan.
It was also fortunate that Shang Zongguan was old and didn't sleep much on weekdays. He woke up early every day to practice and exercise.
When Li Xuan came to the courtyard, Shang Zongguan was just halfway through his practice.
He didn't rush to disturb Shang Zongguan, but stood on the stone table and watched silently.
Li Xuan had seen the set of exercises that Shang Zongguan practiced several times before.
But for some reason, he couldn't record this set of exercises with his talent. It is estimated that the level of the exercises is far beyond his current realm.
Li Xuan didn't forget the warning that Ye Lao had given him in Qianxing Pavilion.
"Carelessly practicing exercises beyond your level will be fatal."
Li Xuan was not in a hurry. Anyway, Shang Zongguan was right in front of him and would not escape. He just waited for a while.
Although he thought so in his heart, the tail behind him couldn't help but "slap" on the table. Anyone with a discerning eye could see the impatience.
But Manager Shang pretended not to hear the noise and continued his movements slowly.
Manager Shang's movements were very slow, just like the old men who practiced martial arts that Li Xuan had seen early in the morning, moving his body slowly.
Although these movements looked very ordinary, Li Xuan understood that the tricks should be indistinguishable to the naked eye.
For example, now, with those ordinary slow movements, the air around Manager Shang was distorted from time to time, and in the process of this distortion, Li Xuan seemed to vaguely see a flash of white light.
"This seems to be a little different from Old Zhao's Qi."
Li Xuan silently watched Manager Shang practice martial arts, and could vaguely see that he was extraordinary, but he couldn't see what was going on.
Moreover, although he was not far from Manager Shang at this time, he did not feel any breath escaping.
It was as if there was really an ordinary old man practicing Tai Chi in front of him.
"Return to the original state."
"This control is completely beyond the reach of my current self."
After a long time, Manager Shang slowly finished his practice, and before he opened his eyes, he spoke:
"Ah Xuan, why are you here so early today?"
A smile appeared on Manager Shang's face as he spoke.
He naturally understood why Li Xuan came to see him so early.
But Manager Shang deliberately played tricks, twisting his neck and stretching his arms slowly, and sighed: "Oh, I'm old, and I get tired after just a little movement."
Manager Shang walked to the stone table panting and sat down, then slowly poured himself a cup of tea, and took a sip slowly as if he was afraid of scalding himself.
"What kind of turtle magic is this!"
"There are still sequelae, right?"
Li Xuan was so anxious that he scratched the stone table with his claws, making a harsh and unpleasant sound.
"Oh, okay, okay, I won't tease you anymore."
"Xuan really can't help being teased."
Li Xuan can see that, like father, like son.
He said, why is Zhao Feng so annoying on weekdays?
It turns out that Shang Zongguan is not much better.
"Meow! (You only know how to bully cats all day long!)"
Li Xuan shouted in dissatisfaction.
"Hahaha, good, good, good..."
Shang Zongguan laughed heartily a few times, and it seems that he is in a very good mood this morning.
"Ah Xuan, are you here for what I told you a few days ago?"
Shang Zongguan took another sip of tea, and this time he didn't mind the heat.
"There are many good treasures in this palace to help with cultivation."
"But we can't be the master."
"Ah Xuan, you need to understand us on this point."
Li Xuan nodded to Shang Zongguan's words.
After all, the one who is in charge of this palace is still Emperor Yongyuan.
Don't look at how powerful Shang Zongguan and Zhao Feng are in the palace, but they are all relying on Emperor Yongyuan's light. After all, they are just housekeepers.
It's just that the situation in the "big house" of the palace is much more complicated than that of ordinary wealthy families.
Manager Shang then talked about business.
"Last time I said that the good stuff that can help you break through the marrow training realm is in the Jade Clear Pool."
"Just treat this Jade Clear Pool as a royal bath, but for so many years, only His Majesty has been using it."
"There is a Sun Moon Yin Yang Pond in this Jade Clear Pool, one is extremely cold, and the other is extremely hot."
When Li Xuan heard this, he knew that this Sun Moon Yin Yang Pond must be a good place.
In the online novels he had read before, the protagonists were always able to practice in such places and then break through the realm.
I didn't expect such a good thing to happen to him.
Manager Shang could clearly see the joy on Li Xuan's face, and he quickly poured a basin of cold water and said:
"Ah Xuan, this matter is not as simple as you think."
"Although this Sun Moon Yin Yang Pond is a good place to help people practice, it is also extremely dangerous."
"If you are not fully prepared, I am afraid you will not be able to climb out after you finish soaking."
Manager Shang said it seriously, with a serious expression, and it didn't seem like he was joking.
Li Xuan then realized that the opportunity in front of him was not easy to take.
"Meow? (What's the plan?)"
Shang Zongguan saw that Li Xuan took his words to heart, and nodded.
It should be said that the little black cat in front of him was still very obedient.
From this point of view alone, it is much better than many people.
"Are you going to Qianxing Pavilion to return the book today?"
Shang Zongguan asked with a smile.
Then he continued:
"Remember to borrow a book called "Turtle Breathing Method" today. I guess you have to look for this book. If you can't find it, ask Mr. Ye. Don't be polite."
"When the time comes, practice this Turtle Breathing Method to the entry level, and you will be ready."
Shang Zongguan stopped here and said no more.
Li Xuan tilted his head and showed a confused look.
"Meow? (Is it just like this?)"
Shang Zongguan smiled, and then gently stroked Li Xuan's head.
"Then we just need to wait for the right time."
Shang Zongguan is a little unfathomable now.
But Li Xuan still chose to believe him.
Although Li Xuan still doesn't know how to get to Yuqing Pool, it's always right to prepare according to what Shang Zongguan said.
If Shang Zongguan hadn't told Li Xuan, he wouldn't have known that there was such an opportunity in Yuqing Pool.
Although he still doesn't quite understand what the Sun Moon Yin Yang Pool is, and how it helps him speed up his practice, it's enough to know that there is such a goal.
"Remember what I said, go to Qianxing Pavilion to borrow the Turtle Breathing Method first, and then practice this method to the entry level."
"After that, if there is any progress in Yuqing Pool, I will send someone to notify you."
Shang Zongguan finally instructed.
Li Xuan nodded, indicating that he had written it down.
"Well, go back early."
"Feng'er will pick you up later."
After saying goodbye to Shang Zongguan, Li Xuan left the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
When he returned to Jingyang Palace, he found that Zhao Feng was already here.
But Zhao Feng was not here to take them to Qianxing Pavilion, but to teach Yu'er martial arts.
Seeing Li Xuan coming back from outside, Zhao Feng couldn't help but ask:
"Ah Xuan, are you back from the Ministry of Internal Affairs?"
Li Xuan didn't hide it from him, anyway, he would know it after asking Shang Zongguan.
And Zhao Feng also knew that he was looking for a way to speed up his practice.
Seeing Li Xuan nod, Zhao Feng said to himself: "Godfather has mentioned your matter to me. He should have told you to borrow the turtle breathing method just now, right?"
Li Xuan nodded again.
"Well, I'll prepare a carriage and take you there later."
After Zhao Feng finished speaking, he didn't mention it anymore, but concentrated on teaching Yu'er martial arts.
Princess Ankang also woke up at this time. After washing up, she was sitting in the yard watching Yu'er practice martial arts.
Previously, Li Xuan and Zhao Feng's conversation was not hidden from others, and Princess Ankang also heard it.
After seeing Li Xuan come back and jump into her arms, Princess Ankang touched his fur and asked:
"Ah Xuan, were you discussing cultivation with Zhao Zongguan before?"
"Do you want to borrow a book from Qianxing Pavilion?"
Princess Ankang looked curious.
Li Xuan shook his tail, asked her to stretch out her palm, and then wrote three words on it with his tail.
"Turtle Breathing Method?"
"Is this the name of the book?"
"It sounds like a method of cultivation."
Knowing what book Li Xuan wanted to borrow, Princess Ankang smiled cutely.
"Don't worry, Ah Xuan."
"I will definitely help you borrow this book later."
Li Xuan nudged Princess Ankang with his head and acted like a spoiled child.
Recently, Princess Ankang has become more and more reliable.
Perhaps the little girl gained some confidence from yesterday's throwing competition, and always wanted to perform to the best of her ability and make her own contribution.
As her body slowly recovered, Princess Ankang's mentality seemed to have changed.
