Chapter 560 Ci'en Temple

It is said that there is a snow pond deep in the north.

The snow pond never freezes all year round, but the water in it has a heart-breaking chill.

If ordinary people dare to touch the water in the snow pond, they will freeze as much as they touch, and they will not even feel any pain, as if they just patted off the snow that fell on their bodies.

But even in such a terrifying snow pond in the north, there are still lives surviving in it.

The Arctic Supreme Shell is one of the most famous, and it is also a rare natural treasure.

If you can absorb its effectiveness well, you will not be afraid of most severe cold. Even in such a harsh environment in the north, you can still live with it, which is extremely magical.

If you happen to be a warrior who has developed the water attribute Qi, you may also be able to use the power of the Arctic Supreme Shell to transform your own Qi attribute into ice.

Generally speaking, there is no absolute advantage or disadvantage among the five elements' attributes, only mutual restraint.

However, the mutant attributes generally have extremely distinctive characteristics, generally more violent lethality, such as ice, thunder, and wind.

It is rare to find treasures from heaven and earth that can change the attributes of one's own true energy.

Unexpectedly, Wei Zhen and the others got it this time.

Princess Ankang fell in love with this thing, not because of its ability to change the attributes of Qi, but because of the Arctic Supreme Shell's ability to make people not afraid of the cold.

She herself has been eroded by the cold all year round, and her body has been weak all year round. Although her body is getting better and better with the help of Li Xuan, she still has to actively practice martial arts to make the cold inside her body break out once a month.

Princess Ankang thought that eating this Arctic Supreme Shell might have some effect.

Even if the cold had no effect, she still wanted to be able to walk freely in the north.

Princess Ankang could not let go of the cold wave in Beiliang.

Ever since she learned that her mother-in-law's hometown had undergone such changes, she had never stopped thinking about it.

She hoped that the cold wave would end and that she would have the opportunity to visit her mother's hometown.

Li Xuan took a closer look at the effectiveness of the Arctic Supreme Shell and immediately understood Princess Ankang's thoughts.

He did not raise any objection to this.

This is Princess Ankang's own competition prize, and she should choose what she wants.

However, Li Xuan definitely wanted Princess Ankang to be careful about how to use the Arctic Supreme Shell.

This thing also seems to have cold properties. It might react with the coldness in Princess Ankang's body, and it would be bad to create a frost version to add fuel to the fire.

After Wei Zhen confirmed Princess Ankang's choice, he nodded immediately:

"Your Highness, since you have chosen the prize, it will be delivered to the Ministry of Internal Affairs in a few days."

"When using this Arctic Supreme Shell, you must communicate with the Ministry of Internal Affairs."

"This treasure of heaven and earth is a bit overbearing. If it is taken and absorbed improperly, it will be life-threatening."

Wei Zhen fulfilled his obligation and explained the situation about the Arctic Supreme Shell.

Princess Ankang nodded, indicating that she had remembered it.

In this way, Princess Ankang's selection of prizes is finally settled, and she will wait for them to be delivered to her door in a few days.

When the time comes, they will ask Dr. Xue to do some research and refine some elixirs, and there should be no problem.

No matter what, it would be good to ask Zhao Feng to ask the imperial kitchen to make some sashimi for you to enjoy.

Li Xuan licked his mouth, arousing the greed in his stomach.

I don’t know if the arctic clam, which is a natural treasure, will taste better.

After the selection of prizes was completed, Wei Zhen put away the list and talked about another thing.

"Your Highness, we were in danger in the north before. Fortunately, your pet helped to rescue us."

Wei Zhen said sincerely.

"When I met with His Highness today, I also wanted to repay this kindness, so we specially prepared a gift."

"Of course, your Highness, you can rest assured that this thing belongs to us privately and is not the harvest of the hunting officer. You don't have to have any worries."

When Li Xuan heard this, he immediately became interested. He didn't expect that there would be gifts from the Hunting Officer to receive today.

Wei Zhen winked at Yan Shang and others beside him, and they immediately took out several large and small baggage, and prepared a lot of things.

"Your Highness, I heard that you were not in good health in the past. These are some ingredients that can replenish your body. They are all the characteristics of the North."

“These are our personal gains and can be distributed among ourselves.”

"Our hunting officers from the North Team have put their minds together and please His Highness please don't take it personally."

Wei Zhen looked like a bandit leader, but he behaved well in front of Princess Ankang and spoke politely.

Princess Ankang immediately politely said that it was all Li Xuan's own fault and had nothing to do with her.

After some refusal, Wei Zhen finally couldn't resist it and accepted these things.

"Then your Highness, just accept it for Doctor Cat and slowly cook it for him in the future."

"These are great tonics. Doctor Cat is also very good for his health if he eats them."

Wei Zhen said with a smile.

"Then follow what Captain Wei said."

"I thanked Xuan."

Princess Ankang returned the greeting.

Wei Zhen waved his hand and said: "We are also grateful to Dr. Mao."

Then, they chatted briefly, and Yan Shang and other young hunting officers also had the opportunity to introduce themselves to Princess Ankang.

The other three hunting officers were about the same age as Yan Shang, and their strength was at the sixth rank, which was not bad. They were Su Wan'er, Guo Xiao and Qin Shi.

These two men and one woman, three young hunting officers and Yan Shang stood behind Wei Zhen, all of them were extraordinary and obviously from famous families.

In addition to their surnames, Li Xuan somewhat understood that Zhao Feng said that the three of them should be the ones who could not afford to make mistakes in the North Team.

They were probably the direct descendants of those families, and they were likely to be valued by their families.

If these outstanding young people made mistakes, it would be a pity.

If they were not killed in the line of duty during the hunting mission, but were assassinated by the enemy country, Emperor Yongyuan would have no way to explain to these families.

After all, this kind of thing was considered intelligence negligence, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs could not escape the blame, and Emperor Yongyuan would also be affected.

After they expressed their gratitude to Princess Ankang and Li Xuan, they presented thank-you gifts.

Princess Ankang put all these things into her Bingyue bracelet.

After both sides had finished what they needed to say, it was time to get up and leave.

They left the teahouse together and then parted ways at the door.

Wei Zhen seemed to have some hunting officer affairs to take Yan Shang and others to do.

The three little ones took a carriage with the Eighth Prince to Ci'en Temple.

On the way, the Eighth Prince couldn't help his curiosity and wanted to see the thank-you gifts from the hunting officers.

Princess Ankang was not stingy either. She took out the bundles given to her by the hunting officers and opened them one by one.

Inside were boxes of various materials for ingredients. Each of them was not much, but there were many kinds.

After opening all the bundles, they opened the lids of the boxes one by one, and the ingredients inside were all preserved very fresh.

After checking, Li Xuan found that these boxes for ingredients were just better sealed, and there was nothing special about them.

I think when the ingredients were brought back, they should have been put in the storage magic weapon.

Li Xuan then thought of a detail. When he met the hunting officers in the northern border before, they didn't have any obvious goods on them.

But now he has brought back all the harvests from the northern border for a year. It seems that there is a special storage magic weapon for storing these things.

As Li Xuan came into contact with higher and higher levels, he found that although this storage magic weapon was rare, it seemed that it was not impossible to get it as long as he was willing to spend money.

But there should be very few that can compare with Li Xuan's Emperor Hong Bone Ring in terms of performance.

The Ice Moon Bracelet on Princess Ankang's hand was a treasure presented by Beiliang in the past, but the storage space is about the same size as the smallest space in the Emperor Hong Bone Ring.

But you have to know that Li Xuan's Emperor Hong Bone Ring has ten storage spaces, and there are six small and four large different specifications.

In other words, the storage space of Princess Ankang's Ice Moon Bracelet is only about the same as a small space in the Emperor Hong Bone Ring.

Moreover, it cannot hold living things, and the range of taking things is much smaller than that of Li Xuan, and it almost has to get close to take things in.

From this performance point of view, the Emperor Hong Bone Ring does live up to its origin.

The Eighth Prince can recognize some of the ingredients in front of him, and there are many high-value ingredients among them.

Moreover, it is not a question of whether these ingredients are expensive or not, but whether they can be obtained or not.

The hunting environment in the north is already bad, so these ingredients are rare in the market. Once they come out, people will reserve them at high prices early. If you want to buy them, you need a way.

Even the Eighth Prince does not have such a way, after all, the hunting officer works hard for their father.

No matter how much they are royal descendants, they cannot control the hunting officers and ask them for benefits.

"Ah?"

"Why is there this!"

The Eighth Prince held up a thick and long ingredient and was extremely shocked.

"Ankang, you should not use this thing, why not sell it to the starling?"

"Don't worry, I will never let you suffer a loss."

The Eighth Prince said with shining eyes.

"What is this?"

"Why can't I use it?"

"Besides, it's a thank-you gift to Xuan. It would be bad if I sell it."

"Don't you think so? Xuan."

Li Xuan looked at the thing held by the Eighth Prince and thought awkwardly:

"Uh..."

"This can be sold."

The Eighth Prince was right. Princess Ankang really couldn't use this thing.

And is this thing also considered food?

Although Li Xuan was confused, he immediately expressed his opinion and gave the Eighth Prince the thing he liked without asking for a penny.

"My dear brother, why don't you thank Xuan!"

"He said it was free for you."

After Li Xuan wrote on the back of Princess Ankang's hand, Princess Ankang pointed at Li Xuan and said to the Eighth Prince.

"Really?"

"This thing is not cheap on the market."

"Do you keep your word, cat?"

The Eighth Prince looked at Li Xuan and said in surprise.

Seeing that the Eighth Prince still doubted his words, Li Xuan immediately made it clear to Princess Ankang.

After Princess Ankang learned about it, she smiled and said to the Eighth Prince:

"My Eighth Brother, Ah Xuan said he keeps his word."

"But there is one request, I hope you will do your best to facilitate our matter when you arrive at Ci'en Temple later."

The Eighth Prince was stunned after hearing this, and looked at Li Xuan deeply. At this moment, he couldn't help but envy Princess Ankang.

Before Li Xuan teased him many times, he knew that Li Xuan's intelligence was not low, but he didn't expect it to be so high.

The Eighth Prince has some experience in taming animals. Some beasts are smart, but they are wild and difficult to tame. There are few pets that care about their masters.

Li Xuan is not only smart, but also considers Princess Ankang everywhere. This kind of thing is almost impossible.

Those who are loyal to their masters are generally not that smart, and those who are smart are mostly selfish.

The Eighth Prince has been with Princess Ankang for so long, and he has long known that she has no magical skills in taming animals, but just treats her little black cat sincerely.

Even the way one person and one cat communicate, the Eighth Prince has seen some tricks, knowing that Li Xuan always writes on Princess Ankang to communicate.

He is not surprised that Princess Ankang can convey Li Xuan's exact meaning, and it is also for this reason.

The Eighth Prince has long understood that Li Xuan's intelligence is beyond his imagination.

But he is not stupid, he did not make a fuss, and he has been cooperating to pretend to be stupid.

After several losses, the Eighth Prince knew that Li Xuan's fur was not as black as his heart.

The Eighth Prince was afraid that Li Xuan would do something to him. Princess Ankang and Li Xuan didn't tell him the secret between them, so he pretended that he knew nothing.

"Be loyal to someone who has entrusted you with something."

"I will do my best in this matter, you can rest assured."

In order to avoid being silenced by Li Xuan in the future, the Eighth Prince seized every opportunity to improve Li Xuan's favorability.

"I accepted the things, but I also remembered this favor."

Seeing that the Eighth Prince was serious, Li Xuan nodded with satisfaction.

The Eighth Prince seemed to be unrestrained, but he was not stupid, but he was very clear-minded.

Li Xuan believed his promise.

And Li Xuan didn't believe that the Eighth Prince was not afraid of him at all.

Li Xuan grinned, which gave the Eighth Prince a chill.

After a while, they took a carriage and arrived at Ci'en Temple in Jinchangfang, south of the city.

This place belongs to Wannian County, and there are many temples around it. The surrounding several markets are all places with a strong Buddhist atmosphere.

The Ci'en Temple is located in the southeast corner of the capital.

Going further south, you will reach the Qimen Gate, which is the exit of the capital.

Generally, the several markets under the city gate are slums, and the public security and atmosphere are not very good.

But because there are many temples nearby, the monks in the temples often have activities such as giving porridge and preaching on weekdays, so the atmosphere in these slums is not as bad as the other ones.

Especially the markets near the temples, because the public security is particularly good, many people are willing to live and work here.

But because of this, the land price here is a little expensive, but it is still within the acceptable range for ordinary people.

The biggest wish of many low-level people is to move out of the markets with poor public security and settle in the markets near the temples.

When the three little ones came to Ci'en Temple before, it was the time of the July Mid-Autumn Festival.

At that time, people came and went on the street, all of whom were celebrating the Buddhist meeting, and these daily scenes could not be seen.

Today, the three little ones saw what the nearby markets looked like on weekdays.

Along the way, they did find that the people around here were much more peaceful, not as impetuous as other markets.

There were many stalls on the roadside, selling incense, flowers, bracelets, Buddha statues and other Buddhist peripherals, and the business was pretty good.

When you arrive at the gate of Ci'en Temple, you can smell a strong smell of burning incense, which makes people calm and peaceful, and you can see the smoke from afar.

"Let's go, I'll take you to see Master Chenghai."

As soon as the eighth prince got off the carriage, he took the lead.
