As an official, what's wrong with raising a few monsters?

Chapter 69: Imperial Master, are you... not as good as him?

"Strange Fire? Wutong?"

Xiao Yu narrowed his eyes, questioning Ming Chen, and asked, "Since you know the method of immortality, why don't you find it for me?"

Mingchen shook his head slightly. "I've said before that this is your destiny, Your Majesty, and only you can find it. I've found ninety-nine of them, but only one is missing. If I find these ingredients before you, what if I refine the elixir myself and take it myself?"

"Chen has arrived before you. You need to find those materials."

He answered fluently, as if it were a matter of course, saying, "These are all yours. The laws of fate are strict, and no one else can take them away."

"Besides, your calamity has already arrived. I have no time to care about anything else, so I have come into the world to help you break the calamity."

"it is good!"

Xiao Yu nodded and said, "I will do my best to cooperate with you, sir."

Although Mingchen said nice things, Xiao Yu still caught the key word "eat it yourself" in the other party's words.

He secretly thought in his heart that even if he found the materials, he still had to be on guard against this evil star.

Thus, the focus has shifted.

Although Mingchen did not take out the elixir of immortality, Xiao Yu believed him.

Mingchen stood up, saluted towards Xiao Yu and said, "Your Majesty is wise!"

"it is good!"

"well!"

With all kinds of thoughts weighing on his heart, Xiao Yu couldn't help but smile brightly.

He looked at Mingchen with admiration and said, "Hahahaha~ Mr. Mingchen came into the world in a critical moment, saved my Daqian from danger, and helped me break through. It is truly a blessing for me and Daqian~"

"Your Majesty is so complimentary."

"What do you need me to do, sir? Do you want to show off your skills?"

The old emperor looked very happy, but Mingchen did not relax. He just shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, please send someone to find Qihuo and Wutong. Since I passed the imperial examination and entered the officialdom, Your Majesty should follow the rules and treat me as an ordinary scholar."

Say so.

How could Xiao Yu treat him as a truly ordinary candidate?
He looked at Mingchen deeply and nodded slightly: "Okay."

"Your Majesty, this elixir is called Qingxin. It was extracted from the essence of green bamboo and refined with great effort. Although it is not as effective as a fatal drug, it can nourish the spirit and prolong life."

I have said everything that needed to be said, and my purpose has been achieved. It is almost time to go.

Mingchen took out a box, placed it on the table, bowed to Xiao Yu and said, "Nice to meet you. This is for Your Majesty."

When the box was opened, a refreshing fragrance immediately hit me, which shocked me. A crystal clear pill lay quietly in the brocade box.

The Qingxin Pill nourishes the spirit and makes the mind clear.

Another reward for Phantom's previous vow.

Of course, once the good stuff falls into Mingchen's hands, he will not give it away.

After getting it, I ate it on the spot.

As for the one being presented to the emperor, it is nothing more than a pill soaked in green bamboo wine for a month.

Anyway, no one in this world knows what the Qingxin Pill looks like, so it doesn’t matter if Mingchen just rubs his nose and calls it the Qingxin Pill.

The functions he described were also vague.

No one in the world can feel the longevity.

It’s just like selling health products for the elderly, you have the final say on the efficacy.

The pills helped a little, but not much.

When the old emperor ate this thing, the effect was almost the same as taking a powerful pill.

Prove that your value is just right.

……

They said they were discussing the Dao of the world, but in reality, what they talked about most was immortality and eternal life, which the old emperor wanted to hear.

After delivering the pills, the high-spirited young man withdrew.

Looking at the other person's departing back, Xiao Yu's warm smile gradually faded.

The guards on both sides brought the brocade box left by Mingchen to Xiao Yu.

The fragrance of green bamboo lingered in his nose. Xiao Yu looked at the pill quietly without eating it. He just said, "Send someone to find the strange fire and the sacred tree Wutong."

He closed the brocade box and placed it on the table: "Don't follow him. Find out who he has had contact with since he came to Beijing."

"Yes!"

As soon as the words fell, several secret guards responded, and then their figures flashed and disappeared in the Yangxin Palace.

"Squeak."

The door closed, everyone who should have left had left, and everything returned to calm.

Xiao Yu tapped his fingers lightly on the table and said calmly, "National Master, this person is the demon star immortal you mentioned, right?"

As the words fell, a figure slowly walked out from the darkness.

"sit down."

Compared to the ignorant Mingchen, Xiao Yu was more casual when facing his old partner of thirty years.

He pointed casually, and the ugly old man in a black robe sat in the seat where Mingchen had just sat.

The old man's expression changed from gloomy to bright, and he stammered, "Uh... Your Majesty, I... I don't know!"

Thirty years.

Except for those audacious swindlers, no one had come into the emperor's sight as a cultivator in the past thirty years.

But today there is one.

For a moment, he was speechless.

Emotionally speaking, colleagues are enemies, and he certainly doesn't like this mysterious and flamboyant student.

He was in an awkward situation.

He has clearly felt the emperor's alienation towards him, and if a new person comes, he will inevitably fall out of favor.

Your Majesty is so heartless and ungrateful. If a new person replaces the old one, his fate will not be good.

He was also skeptical about the other party's mysterious theories about fate and gods appearing in dreams.

However, he couldn't find a point that could expose the opponent 100%.

There are so many extraordinary people hidden in the world.

It doesn’t matter whether he believes the other party or not; what matters is that His Majesty believes it.

I don’t know where this person came from or what he can do, but he escaped the butcher’s knife and passed the test of His Majesty’s life, which proves that he must be an extraordinary person.

As luck would have it, he just told Your Majesty that some demon star god could save the country.

This person came, and he was so special and unpredictable.

How did he say?
Whether he admits it or not, he will not end up well.

"I don't know?"

Xiao Yu smiled when he heard this and looked at him quietly: "Master, don't you know the art of face reading? Can't you see it?"

The Imperial Preceptor shuddered at his gaze and said, "Your Majesty, face reading is nothing more than empirical divination. It cannot reveal a person's destiny. The secrets of heaven must not be revealed. This man is strange and treacherous. I...I cannot see through him."

Xiao Yu laughed and said, "The Imperial Master can't see through him? Does that mean he is truly extraordinary?"

National Division:……

"Is what he said about destiny correct?"

"Correct."

If he says it's wrong, he's just slapping himself in the face.

He had completed his studies and entered the world in search of wealth and honor, and what he initially said to the distinguished person in front of him was also a similar system.

“Hahahahaha~Okay, okay!”

Xiao Yu couldn't help but laugh out loud when he heard that.

Mingchen, the National Master... these people are actually not important to him, and he doesn't trust them all.

What matters is who can realize his wish.

It was late, the sky was gray,
Xiao Yu's laughter stopped, half of his face hidden in the darkness, and he said in a low voice: "National Master, are you... not as good as him?"
