Chapter 130: Chapter 83: Twin-Form Augmentation, Scales on the Arm—The Demon Buddha Slain from Behind
Secret Martial Treasury.
Pang Wuyue watched as Li Xuan came and went, moving a full quarter of the ’Big Blood Qi Pills’ to his small cultivation hut in several batches.
The senior sister’s feelings were complicated.
She already knew that Li Xuan had previously consumed a quarter of the ’Big Blood Qi Pills,’ which amounted to dozens of bottles.
And now, Li Xuan was moving another quarter.
The key was that the Prime Minister had sent a timely letter, which said: Let him use them.
At this moment, Yan Beige was standing with Pang Wuyue.
And just now, as he finished saying, "The Prime Minister’s letter allows you to use resources freely," Li Xuan raised his fist towards the south, thanked the benefactor, and then started the behavior of ’emptying the Secret Martial Treasury’ without any hesitation.
The two were about to speak but stopped.
In terms of experience, the two, as existences in the demonic form realm of the Great Yin, were immensely experienced, even to the extent that they could guide anyone.
But precisely because of this, they both knew... their methods were certainly not applicable to Li Xuan.
They even suppressed thoughts like "eating so many Blood Qi Pills, won’t he explode" that emerged in their minds.
Because Li Xuan did not explode.
Yan Beige gazed woodenly, unable to help but say, "Sister, I cannot understand."
"Neither can I," Pang Wuyue replied, and then added, "He moves the Big Blood Qi Pills, intending to use the blood qi of the pills to assist him in drawing the demon form, so why not give him a few boxes of Tier One demon flesh."
Though Tier One demon flesh is scarce, if it could help our Prime Minister’s residence give birth to an unparalleled genius, it would be worth it."
Yan Beige’s eyes showed some sadness, "Just these few boxes, they came from hunting the Bronze Plain, at the cost of many lives.
However... I have no objections.
Li Xuan’s terrifying talent surpasses any one of us.
Even Xie Feng cannot be compared with him.
I still remember how shocked I was then by Xie Feng’s three-year triple cultivation.
But compared to Li Xuan, Xie Feng is simply a mediocre person."
After saying this, he showed a thoughtful expression in his eyes and lowered his voice, "In fact, the Prime Minister has always wanted to support one of us to become an Alien Monarch, to dignify the name of Secret Martial Artists.
But constrained by our lack of prestige, the Sovereign’s disapproval, the pressure from the Grand General’s side, among other factors, it has never succeeded."
Pang Wuyue said, "But the Prime Minister needs such a powerful Alien Monarch."
Yan Beige nodded.
He was one of the four great experts of the Prime Minister’s residence, an old hand there. He naturally knew that initially, the Prime Minister didn’t actually intend to overshadow the Sovereign, but if he didn’t, the Secret Martial system would be entirely abandoned, and he might not end well either.
People often say, "In the Jianghu, one’s body is beyond their control," but the perils of the Jianghu cannot compare to the court?
The Prime Minister must either relinquish all his efforts and surrender or... elevate the Sovereign.
Now, the Sovereign has been elevated for so long, filled with resentment.
The Prime Minister can no longer step down gracefully.
His only means is to replace the Sovereign with another member of the Zhao royal family before stepping down.
And this is the first step.
As for how to take the second step, it is difficult and can be described as nerve-wracking.
If the Prime Minister wants to tear the Great Yin apart, it’s easy. But if he wants to retire safely and end well, it’s extremely difficult.
However, if there could be a Secret Martial Artist from the Prime Minister’s residence on the court with high moral character, high rank, power, and a good relationship with the royal family, this deadlock would become viable.
"Does Li Xuan have any connections with the royal family?" Pang Wuyue couldn’t help but ask again, since she didn’t really know much about Li Xuan.
Yan Beige said, "I need to investigate."
Pang Wuyue also nodded solemnly.
In fact, before this, they didn’t even know who Li Xuan was, and it was only two months ago that this young man suddenly burst into the Secret Martial Treasury, and then, like the blazing sun rising from the horizon, became increasingly conspicuous and dazzling until he occupied their entire vision.
Their brief conversation ended.
Yan Beige walked out, retrieved two pitch-black boxes from the second floor, and helped carry them to Li Xuan’s small hut in the north, saying, "Li Xuan, you can use these."
Li Xuan glanced over and saw that they were labeled: Tier One Demon Flesh, Tier One Demon Broken Horn.
Yan Beige said, "Their blood qi is very rich, after you use them, you can fill your demon form more quickly.
However... Li Xuan, do you have a preferred musical instrument?"
As for the matter of the musical instrument, Li Xuan had already thought about it seriously.
The musical instrument is a means used by Secret Martial Artists to cultivate character and suppress heart demons.
The influence received from the demonic diagram, let’s call it a heart demon.
In this matter, he decided to go with the flow.
After all, although he wanted to showcase his talent to gain benefits, his current display was definitely enough, and there was no need to reveal "my cultivation speed is fast, and I won’t be affected by heart demons" kind of things.
Besides this, he didn’t want others to judge him by his musical instrument, so... it couldn’t be a large instrument.
Considering all this, he smiled and said, "Yes."
After speaking, he touched his waist and directly took out a handful of green leaves, which he picked from outside. Now in the deep winter before spring, finding a few evergreens wasn’t easy.
"Leaves?" Yan Beige was a little surprised.
Li Xuan smiled and casually spun a tale: "Coming from a rural county, I was mischievous as a child, picking tree leaves at random, yet I developed an interest."
Saying this, he brought the leaves to his lips, closed his eyes, and began to blow like playing a harmonica.
As someone who can finely control his own power, learning to play an instrument is not difficult, but acquiring a music score is rare.
