Daqian Night Emperor

Chapter 230 Play the long game and catch big fish

Ji Qingkong leaned his head towards the dome and slowly opened his mouth.

A colorful "pill" flew out of his mouth and hovered in the air.

Inside the hall, five-colored air rose up, forming a vortex, and eventually turned into drops of spiritual liquid that dripped onto the pill.

However, below the pill, Ji Qingkong, who was sitting cross-legged, quickly "withered". The flesh and blood under his skin melted away, and his originally plump skin wrinkled and stuck to his bones.

He seemed to have aged in an instant, and his whole body exuded a decadent air.

Ji Qingkong slowly raised his dry hand, and the colorful pill in the air fell down. The rich medicinal fragrance gradually faded, and the colorful light on the pill gradually dissipated, becoming simple and unadorned, except that there were five more pill patterns of different colors on the pill.

"puff!"

His face suddenly turned pale, he spat out a few mouthfuls of blood, and his breath instantly became weaker.

A strong sense of sleepiness swept over him, but he didn't dare close his eyes. Once he closed his eyes, he would truly die.

Ji Qingkong forced himself to stay awake and reached out to grab his own shadow on the floor.

"Uh ah ah..."

His hand actually reached into his own shadow, and the shadow began to ripple like a water mirror, accompanied by several sharp screams.

The next moment, when he pulled his hand out from the shadow, a yellow talisman was taken out.

On top of the yellow talisman, a few words were written from top to bottom in complex script - Eastern Qingmu Emperor.

He opened his mouth and swallowed the yellow talisman.

After swallowing the yellow talisman, his complexion became a little rosy.

Immediately afterwards, Ji Qingkong reached into the shadow again and took out the remaining four yellow talismans one by one.

The Southern Red Fire Emperor!

Central Yellow Earth Emperor!

Western Platinum Emperor!

The Black Water Emperor of the North!

These five yellow talismans correspond to the five directions, five elements, five colors, and five gods.

The remaining four yellow talismans were quickly swallowed by Ji Qingkong one by one, replacing his five internal organs.

After doing all this, his originally mummy-like body swelled up again like a balloon, and finally returned to its original appearance.

Ji Qingkong gently stroked his chest and muttered to himself: "The five internal organs are the medicine, and the body is the furnace. In order to refine this human pill, the five internal organs are destroyed. This body will not be useful for much longer... This five-sided divine talisman can only extend my life for half a year at most."

"Half a year... is enough time for the Holy Fetus to be born."

"It's just a pity for the shadow servant I have nurtured for twenty years."

There was a hint of regret on his face.

Over the years, he has painstakingly practiced the "Way of Desire", and most of his cultivation has been sealed in the statues of the Lord of No Obligation in his hands.

Because his current body was destined to be abandoned from the very beginning.

He was only waiting for himself to become one with the holy fetus, and then take back his own cultivation from those statues. By then, he would not be afraid of anyone.

Apart from this, he focused all his energy on Shadow Servant to prevent himself from dying young before he could become one with the Holy Fetus.

The Five Divine Talismans are the foundation of Shadow Servant's existence. Now that he has forcibly taken them out to extend his life, Shadow Servant will no longer exist.

"Zhao family!"

Ji Qingkong murmured these two words with gritted teeth.

How could he not feel resentful when all his years of hard work went to waste?

He took a few deep breaths to calm himself.

Now that his five internal organs have refined this pill, the rules of desire no longer affect him, and his nature has been completely released.

But even so, Ji Qingkong could only suppress this hatred deep in his heart.

Now that Shadow Servant was destroyed, he could no longer protect himself in the city of Kyoto.

He could only wait until his grandfather came to Beijing before making any plans. Before that... he could only pretend that he knew nothing and even had to rely on the kindness of the Zhao family to survive.

Ji Qingkong stood up, put the pill into his sleeve, and walked quickly out of the hall.

The most urgent task is to save the holy fetus first!
……

At this moment, in the princess's mansion.

Zhao Qi'an sat in the hall, looking down at the secret letter in his hand silently.

Xiao Wei has already passed on the news from Chengping Palace. He has people in the Imperial Hospital, so it can be said that this is first-hand information from the scene.

Zhao Qi'an is waiting.

In today's game, the second imperial concubine's unborn baby is used to make trouble. In addition to dealing with Ruan Yu, the purpose is also to catch the "fish" lurking in the palace.

It was for this reason that he was not in a hurry to go to Chengping Palace to meet the second prince.

I guess the Second Prince has no intention of seeing him now.

But when Zhao Qi'an read the news that Xiaowei brought from the palace, he frowned slightly.

"Even the Fifth Marquis was unable to save the baby in the Second Imperial Concubine's belly... Could it be that I was wrong?"

He held the secret letter in his hand, frowned, and whispered to himself.

Zhao Qi'an's guess makes sense.

The Second Imperial Concubine was a mortal, yet she managed to survive until now carrying such a freak baby. There must have been someone behind the scenes trying to save her life.

Now that the fetus in her belly is about to die, there is no reason for the person behind the scenes to sit back and do nothing.

Once the Second Imperial Concubine has a miscarriage, the monster in her belly will surely be exposed to the public. At that time, Ji Haoyu's downfall will become inevitable.

Zhao Qi'an had foreseen all this in advance, which is why he chose to approach the second prince.

But he did not want the second prince to fall so early. He even hoped that the second prince would be able to dominate the next battle for the crown prince.

Now, if he guessed wrong, he would have to take action to save the fetus in the Second Princess's belly.

Zhao Qi'an now has two statues of the spirit master with three lamps in his hands. The power contained in these statues is enough to calm the unusual movement of the fetus in the Second Princess's belly and help her get through this difficult time.

This is the confidence that enables him to make a fuss about the emperor's grandson.

Before this, he did not want to go this far. After all, if he sent the statue of the Lord of the Three Lamps away, many interested people in Kyoto would probably notice him.

But now that he has met the national master...it doesn't matter anymore.

He has already entered the eyes of some people in another way.

What's more, he also obtained another statue of the Spirit Lord of the Three Lamps from the National Master.

Zhao Qian'an pondered for a long time and finally decided to wait a little longer.

Only by casting a long line can you catch big fish.

……

While Zhao Qi'an was sitting in the hall reading the secret letter, Chou Nu was helping to put the box he brought back aside.

She glanced at Zhao Qian'an secretly and saw that he was concentrating on reading the letter and didn't notice her. So she couldn't resist her curiosity and secretly opened the box and took a look inside.

When she saw clearly what was in the box, her pupils contracted instantly and she raised her hand and hit herself in the face.

"Snapped!"

Zhao Qi'an heard the sound and looked over in confusion.

The ugly slave's fleshy face turned pale, and he stammered, "Yes, there are mosquitoes!"

Zhao Qi'an looked at the red slap marks on her face and said with a smile, "You don't have to be so strong even if there's a mosquito. You can kill a tiger with this slap."

The ugly slave could only smile awkwardly.

When Zhao Qi'an continued to read the letter, she turned her back and clapped her hands in annoyance.

Why are my hands so cheap...
