Chapter 808 Five Changes
Li Cunhou waved his hand: "The demons and monsters, and Fengtian Palace!"

Everyone in the court knew that he was an expert in hunting down masters of the demon clan. He could kill more than a hundred masters of the demon clan in one day, which was shocking.

But no one wanted him to take action.

Is it possible that the great Phoenix Dynasty is deserted?

Even though he has become the consort of the twelfth princess, deep down they still don't want to rely on him.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "It is said that Fengtian Palace needs to pay a price to find the demon masters, right?"

"Well, it takes a lot of effort to activate the Candle Mirror, and there aren't enough people in Fengtian Palace."

“If too many demons come, I’m afraid…” Chu Zhiyuan said.

Li Cunhou said: "Fengtian Palace can handle it."

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and shook his head: "Forget it, then I will have to trouble Fengtian Palace and the court."

Li Miaotan stood up and said, "Third brother, act quickly. Let's go."

"The food hasn't been served yet."

"Don't eat."

Li Miaotan kept walking out.

Chu Zhiyuan clasped his fist towards Li Cunhou, said goodbye with a smile, and left.

Li Yuzhen, Fu Zheng, Lu Haoyuan and Chang Xihua who were waiting outside followed.

A group of guards surrounded the two men, left Wenhua Building and returned to the Prince Consort's Mansion.

The two returned to Chu Zhiyuan's courtyard and sat down at the stone table to rest.

Li Miaotan looked energetic and showed no signs of fatigue.

She took the tea from Li Yuchun and sighed, "Third brother is indecisive, he may not be able to succeed."

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Forget it then."

"Husband, don't you want to be an official?"

"Official positions are power, but they are also constraints. They deny freedom and hinder spiritual practice."

Li Miaotan said: "Our venerable cultivation is to experience the world and temper our state of mind. Doing more and experiencing more is the best way to cultivate. Can't you achieve it by practicing in seclusion?"

She concluded that Chu Zhiyuan knew this truth.

The physical and mental hardships in officialdom are not necessarily inferior to those in battlefields abroad.

Chu Zhiyuan is restricted by his status and cannot enter the battlefield outside the domain. The officialdom is the best place to practice and sharpen his mind.

This was also the reason why she fought for an official position for Chu Zhiyuan.

It's also a way of returning a favor.

Chu Zhiyuan helped her practice, so she naturally had to help Chu Zhiyuan practice. Even if they were husband and wife, there had to be give and take, and one side could not take anything unilaterally.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Although practicing in seclusion is slow, it doesn't hurt to take it slow."

Through the memories of the demon masters in the Haoyang Demon Mirror, you will experience the life of each of them.

This is better than tempering your mind yourself.

What's more, in addition to this clone, there is also the main body, and more clones can be condensed.

The clones can communicate with each other spiritually, and what any clone experiences is what the other clones and the main body experience.

Li Miaotan seemed to be thinking: "You have a good understanding."

Chu Zhiyuan smiled without saying anything.

His comprehension was indeed far superior to that of ordinary people, not only because of the fusion of the Magical Spirit Pearl, but also because of his clone.

Li Miaotan's eyes sparkled: "Then you should be an official!"

Chu Zhiyuan said: "Just let it go, don't be too hard on Third Brother."

He could see that Li Miaotan was dissatisfied with the third prince.

Li Miaotan nodded gently and sighed: "I was a little too impatient."

"Madam, do you think that Third Brother has a chance to become the emperor?"

"……Disaster."

"Then why do you keep arguing?"

"In the court, if you don't advance, you will retreat. If you don't fight, you will be abandoned by the ministers and your position will be difficult to maintain. That would be too miserable, especially for my mother."

Chu Zhiyuan nodded slowly, understanding what she meant.

The third prince competed with her for the throne not because he really wanted to get the throne, but to show an attitude and thus enhance his own power.

If he did not fight for the throne, the ministers would not gather around him.

As the queen's son, without the support of the ministers, the queen would lose her backing and would not be able to speak with confidence in the harem.

"Which one has more hope, the eldest prince or the second prince?"

"I think it's Big Brother."

"But I think it should be the second prince."

“Hmm?” Chu Zhiyuan said, “The eldest prince has high talent, high cultivation, and the strongest power. He seems to be the most suitable emperor.”

"That's right. Although my second brother is known for his virtue, he is too gentle, and the emperor doesn't like him."

"In my opinion, the eldest prince is not the best candidate for the emperor. As an emperor, he cannot be stubborn and cannot tolerate grievances and compromises."

"..."

"The Phoenix Dynasty is already powerful and does not need a more powerful emperor. Instead, it needs a lenient ruler who can combine strength and gentleness to keep the dynasty strong and able to advance and retreat freely."

"…But Father likes my eldest brother more."

Li Miaotan thought about it and shook his head gently: "I will still choose my eldest brother to sit on the throne."

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Then we'll see. Will the Second Prince and Third Brother be okay?"

"With the support of our father, we won't fall out. Big brother won't settle scores after he takes the throne. Big brother still has some courage."

Chu Zhiyuan nodded.

After taking a sip of tea, he smiled and said, "Actually, there's no need to rush. The Phoenix bloodline doesn't need that long."

He knew why Li Miaotan was anxious, it was because of the Phoenix bloodline.

The Phoenix bloodline was too important, which made her anxious and worried. She wished she could activate it immediately.

This anxiety made her unable to calm down.

"I estimate it will take half a year."

"You didn't take my progress into account." Chu Zhiyuan said with a smile.

As he spoke, his clothes suddenly fluttered as if he was in a strong wind.

Above the void, the green dragon began to change rapidly. The scales covered with strange patterns began to grow larger, thicker, and change color.

Green is rapidly turning to blue.

As blue as the sea.

An even more violent and purer force rushed down, constantly washing over his body.

From flesh and blood to spirit, everything is improving.

Chu Zhiyuan's body was filled with a powerful feeling, as if he could break through the void with just one punch.

He tried his best to suppress this illusion, opened his eyes, and the azure color in his eyes slowly faded. He smiled and said, "I have entered another level, the fifth transformation."

This is due to her promotion.

The yin and yang between the two of them were in harmony, and Li Miaotan benefited, and he also benefited.

Both Li Miaotan and the emperor probably felt that she had gained greater benefits.

But he didn't know that he got even greater benefits.

The Phoenix bloodline can achieve nirvana and immortality, and he feels that the Dragon bloodline is similar.

"The fifth transformation?" Li Miaotan looked at him in surprise.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "This is all thanks to my wife."

"What merit have I gained?"

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Madam's method of cultivation is indeed mysterious."

Li Miaotan's face suddenly turned red as if she was drunk, and she quickly turned her eyes away.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "If you improve your Tianlongyin by one level, it will be faster to stimulate the Phoenix bloodline."

Li Miaotan blushed and nodded her head.

"As you practice in the future, Tianlongyin will be further improved." Chu Zhiyuan said: "It will get faster and faster, and it will probably be about three or four months."

Li Miaotan's eyes sparkled.

If it were three or four months, that would be great. Once the Phoenix bloodline was activated, I wouldn't have to be so half-dead anymore and could completely let go.

……

In the evening, Chu Zhiyuan was watching Fu Zheng practicing sword in the courtyard when Huang Jin came again with the imperial edict.

After the imperial edict was announced, he clasped his fists in congratulations.

Chu Zhiyuan sent him off with a smile, and the smile never disappeared.

Li Miaotan, who rushed over after hearing the news, had a sullen face.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Forget it, Madam. It seems that the emperor really doesn't want me to be an official."

The imperial edict promoted him to an honorary title, making him a Palace Attendant, and granted him a fief of one thousand households.

In this way, the salary more than doubled.

This is a trial.

He figured it out, and it seemed like he had no chance of becoming an official in the court of the Phoenix Dynasty.

The emperor was determined not to give him any power or allow him to cause any trouble.
