Chapter 42 What kind of hobby is this!
"Young lady, what's so difficult about Sunac's top-tier properties?"

Liu Chengfeng blurted out, and the Autumn Pool Empress's icy gaze swept over him.

The cold seeped into his bones, and Liu Chengfeng shivered, his scalp tingling.

Liu Chengfeng was not one to back down. He took a deep breath, feeling confident. He thought, "So what if I made a joke? It's no big deal."

Meeting Empress Qiuchi's gaze, her eyes remained as cold as ice.

The two stared at each other, the Autumn Pond Empress's gaze sharp as a knife, seemingly intent on severing Liu Chengfeng.

She hadn't settled the score with Liu Chengfeng for taking liberties with her in front of the Tomb of the Gods that day.

"Okay, you're allowed."

Empress Qiuchi did not get angry; she remained as cold as ice and readily agreed.

There is a play.

Empress Qiuchi readily agreed, and Liu Chengfeng was overjoyed, knowing that the Xianjuan Heart Sutra was now secure.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Say it a few more times."

What is this hobby?
Liu Chengfeng was surprised.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. Your Majesty is wise and powerful."

"He who eats another's food is bound to him; he who takes another's money is bound to him." Liu Chengfeng was happy to shout a few times, behaving like a treacherous minister.

Whether Empress Qiuchi was satisfied or not, the frost on her face had melted considerably, and her sharp gaze had softened, replaced by a smile.

"The Demon Slayer Division is not a place to stay for long. You will stay in the Imperial Palace."

Empress Qiuchi dismissed Liu Chengfeng and gave him a command.

To Liu Chengfeng's surprise, he readily agreed.

"How about it?"

Liu Chengfeng stepped out, and Su Youqian, who was guarding outside the door, asked in a low voice.

"Su Youqian—"

Empress Qiuchi's majestic voice made Su Youqian shudder.

"Go back to Tiger Hill and properly cultivate the Fierce Beast Heart Technique."

"Auntie, I..."

"roll--"

Across the main hall, Empress Qiuchi exuded an imposing aura, causing Su Youqian to shiver and obediently leave.

Su Youqian bid farewell to Liu Chengfeng, not daring to linger, and left the capital.

Liu Chengfeng found living in the palace far more comfortable than staying in the Demon Slayer Division. He had his own magnificent palace, where he was dressed in gold and ate delicacies, and was served by others.

The royal family also quickly sent Liu Chengfeng the "Azure Phoenix Heart Sutra".

Liu Chengfeng carefully studied the Azure Phoenix Heart Sutra, the Heart Sutra of the Treasure Mountain Divine Treasury, and the superior grade of the Sage Scroll.

The Sage's Manual is more powerful and profound than the Human Manual.

Using celestial bodies, I smashed and fused the "Azure Phoenix Heart Sutra" into a top-grade version, and then tried to fuse it with the Golden Dragon Heart Sutra.

The Golden Dragon Heart Sutra is a human-derived innate technique, and its core essence lies in its possession of innate bones.

With a resounding crash of the celestial body, the two cultivation techniques were perfectly fused together.

A brand new cultivation method has been born: the Sage Scroll of Innate Nature.

A brand new mental cultivation method emerged in my mind, displaying greater power and deeper mysteries.

The brand-new cultivation method was named "Dragon and Phoenix Azure Gold Cultivation Method" by Liu Chengfeng.

After succeeding, the celestial body mercilessly drained half of Liu Chengfeng's life force, almost causing him to collapse to the ground.

Liu Chengfeng hurriedly took the blood-nourishing medicine and began circulating his inner energy.

At this moment, the power of the Sage Scroll is fully displayed, absorbing more spiritual energy and forging the physical body faster.

The water-attribute spiritual pool in the underground spiritual vein dojo is blessed with the "Azure Phoenix Heart Sutra".

Liu Chengfeng can openly absorb and absorb the spiritual energy in the spirit pool.

Liu Chengfeng activated his inner energy cultivation technique, and the water-attribute spiritual pool surged forth like a tide.

Because he had practiced the royal family's mental cultivation method, Liu Chengfeng became more sensitive to the dragon vein's dojo.

Especially when the spiritual energy of the water-attribute spirit pool surged in like a tide, Liu Chengfeng discovered that the deadly poison in the water's energy also surged in.

The poison is as fine as silk, so tiny it is invisible. It comes with the vapors of water and can enter the body silently, sneaking into muscles, bones, and internal organs.

"Something's not right. Could this be targeting the royal family?"

Liu Chengfeng was startled, but fortunately he was still a cultivator of the Treasure Mountain Divine Treasury and could not absorb the energy of the water.

Only by reaching the Divine Treasury of Guidance can one absorb and cultivate the power of heaven and earth.

If he had just practiced the mental technique of guiding the divine treasure and absorbed the energy of the water, the deadly poison would definitely have seeped into his body.

Liu Chengfeng activated the "Dragon and Phoenix Azure Gold Heart Method," and spiritual energy surged like a tide. He carefully observed the deadly poison in the water's energy.

The poison did not permeate all the water elemental energy, nor did it permeate the water-attribute spirit pool.

It is hidden deep within the overflowing spiritual energy of the water, like silk threads forming an invisible net.

"This invisible net secretly encircles the entire palace."

Liu Chengfeng has figured out the extreme toxicity of the water vapor.

Such methods, hidden in the shadows, are likely aimed at the royal family.

"Who poisoned him?"

Liu Chengfeng's mind wandered, and he discovered a deadly poison hidden within the spiritual energy, invisible and silent.

Such methods are beyond the capabilities of cultivators of the Treasure Mountain Divine Treasury and the Guiding Divine Treasury.

"I know."

The voice of the stone lion echoed in my mind.

"Does the senior know who poisoned him?"

The stone lion made only one boastful remark before falling silent.

Liu Chengfeng ignored it and continued to cultivate, circulating his inner energy, drawing spiritual energy into his body, and his blood and qi surged to forge his physical body.

When one cultivates to the point of selflessness, a precious light rises, and the blood and energy surge within the body like a roaring river, forging muscles, bones, and internal organs again and again.

A series of ringing sounds emanated from within his body, and his divine essence resonated in unison.

The Blood Sea Divine Treasury resonates with the Treasure Mountain Divine Treasury, with the Blood Sea Divine Treasury gushing forth more blood energy and the Treasure Mountain Divine Treasury providing even more vigorous vitality.

The two complement each other, and the Dragon-Phoenix Azure Gold Heart Method and the Mad Kui Heart Method operate at an increasingly faster speed, circulating endlessly throughout the body.

After several dozen cycles, Liu Chengfeng quickly broke through the third stage and entered the fourth stage.

At the fourth level of Baoshan, Liu Chengfeng is finally on the path to the Great Perfection of Baoshan Divine Treasury.

At this level, one needs to fuse with the primordial mud to achieve complete perfection before one can open the Divine Treasury of Guidance.

Blood and vital energy are like the sea, and the physical body is like a mountain.

Upon entering the fourth stage, Liu Chengfeng not only felt his defenses were stronger and his vitality limitless, but he even experienced muscle regeneration. This was the mystery of the fourth stage of the Treasure Mountain Divine Treasury—the ability to regenerate severed limbs.

The fourth stage of the Treasure Mountain Divine Treasury: a severed finger regenerates in six months; a severed arm regenerates in a year…

Once you reach this level, as long as your head is still intact and your physical damage isn't too severe, you have a certain chance of regeneration.

Liu Chengfeng circulated his inner energy, and the sounds of dragons roaring and phoenixes singing emanated from his body. His muscles were shaped like those of dragons and phoenixes, radiating a precious light, and he even exuded the aura of dragons and phoenixes.

What's most amazing is that its body has the strange phenomena of dragon scales and phoenix feathers.

The Golden Dragon Heart Sutra only had the dragon scale phenomenon, but now it also has the phoenix feather phenomenon.

The two phenomena overlapped and merged, greatly enhancing the defensive capabilities.

The sage scroll is a rare find in ancient countries, except for the divine dynasty.

Liu Chengfeng absorbed the spiritual energy of the underground spiritual pool, and Empress Qiuchi in the palace also sensed it.

Empress Qiuchi was surprised to feel the spiritual energy surging towards Liu Chengfeng like a tide.

"Is Sunac truly becoming a top-tier company?"

Empress Qiuchi had heard of Liu Chengfeng's talent, but in just a few days he was able to fuse the "Azure Phoenix Heart Method" into a top-grade technique.

Empress Qiuchi was also greatly impressed by this talent.

Liu Chengfeng lived deep within the palace, and neither the Grandmaster's Mansion nor the Ascending Sacred Dragon Sect, nor even the royal envoy Wu Yuanqing, dared to touch him.

In a safe place, Liu Chengfeng became engrossed in cultivation.

On this day, Nangong Renshe rushed over and found Liu Chengfeng.

"Our backer has arrived."

"A powerful backer? What kind of powerful backer?"

Liu Chengfeng was taken aback. When Ma Xianwei intimidated Yunzong, Nangong Renshe hurriedly left, saying he was going to find a backer.

"The patriarch of the Nangong family has arrived. Let's go and greet him."

"The ancestor of the Nangong family."

Liu Chengfeng vaguely remembered that when he was causing trouble for the Wu family, Nangong Renshe was looking for the patriarch of the Nangong family.

Nangong Renshe also came from the Nangong family.

"Our ancestor is a very powerful figure; even the ancient kingdoms show him respect, and he can communicate with the Divine Dynasty. Let's go see our ancestor; if he protects you, you will surely be safe and sound."

Without saying a word, Nangong Renshe grabbed Liu Chengfeng and ran.

Nangong Renshe was right, the ancestor of the Nangong family has arrived.

The patriarch of the Nangong family had notified Qiuchi Kingdom even before he arrived in the capital.

Before the patriarch of the Nangong family even entered the capital, the might of the Great Dao had already swept in like a tidal wave, startling the cultivators.

"Another great figure with profound knowledge of the Great Dao."

Many cultivators rushed out, eager to see who this deity was.

There are only three great figures in the entire Qiuchi Kingdom who possess the Great Dao Divine Treasury.

It is precisely because of these three great figures of the Great Dao Divine Treasury that Qiuchi Kingdom was able to be listed as a Grandmaster-level power and that the Ba Yu Spiritual Vein was able to be preserved.

The great figures of the Great Dao Divine Treasury live in seclusion and are extremely rare to see.

The arrival of the great figure from the Great Dao Divine Treasury attracted the attention of all cultivators in the capital.

The might of the Great Dao surged forth like a tide, and a force appeared outside the capital, arriving out of nowhere.

Among this group was an ancestor, half-reclining on a soft palanquin, carried by eight powerful figures who were guiding the divine treasures. The might of the Great Dao emanated from him.

Eight powerful figures from the Divine Treasury of Guidance carried the palanquin; even the envoys from the Ancient Li Royal Court didn't have such a grand display.

"The ancestor of the Nangong family was a top-grade alchemist who had mastered the three refinements."

Even those cultivators who had never met the patriarch of the Nangong family had heard of his illustrious reputation.

It's rare to meet important figures in the Great Dao Divine Treasury, but as a disciple of the Nangong family, Nangong Renshe still had some prestige, which allowed him to meet his ancestor.

Nangong Renshe pulled Liu Chengfeng along to pay respects to the ancestor.

"Renshe, after a thousand years, you haven't made much progress. You might as well go home."

The patriarch of the Nangong family glanced at Nangong Renshe with displeasure.

The patriarch of the Nangong family was not old at all; he was a middle-aged man.

The ancestor of the Nangong family, clad in a feathered robe, with a treasure gourd hanging from his waist and a jade-green thumb ring on his thumb, reclined in a soft palanquin, exhaling clouds and mist.

His cold gaze swept across, exuding an air of superiority.

“I’m used to being out in the wild; I can’t stand staying in a noble family.”

Nangong Renshe felt awkward and gave a dry laugh.

The ancestor, Nangong Zheng, gave a light snort to express his dissatisfaction.

The disciples of the Nangong family spread far and wide, becoming famous throughout Qingzhou for their alchemy skills.

Nangong Renshe was a disciple of the Nangong family, but he joined the Qiyun Sect in his youth and eventually became the sect leader of the Qiyun Sect.

The sect leader's status is very high in the Qiyun Sect, but it's nothing special in the Nangong family.

Nangong Renshe hurriedly pulled Liu Chengfeng aside and introduced him to the ancestor.

“I know that Zhao Tian specifically requested that the sinners of the Divine Dynasty be sacrificed alive.”

Nangong Zheng looked at him coldly and did not offer to protect Liu Chengfeng.

"Come with me to the Grandmaster's Mansion and see them."

Nangong Zheng's entourage headed straight for the Grandmaster's Mansion, making a grand and imposing entrance.

Outside the Grandmaster's Mansion, not only were there many powerful figures welcoming them, but even Grand Marshal Ye Ziyang and Royal Court Envoy Wu Yuanqing came to greet them personally.

Two important figures from the Great Dao Divine Treasury personally greeted him, showing Nangong Zheng a great deal of prestige.

Even Wu Yuanqing, who was supposed to arrest Liu Chengfeng, pretended not to see Liu Chengfeng when he saw him.

The procession was large, and Ye Ziyang and his group welcomed Nangong Zheng into the Grandmaster's Mansion.

"This good-for-nothing brat is from my Nangong family, Wu Yuanqing. I heard you made things difficult for him at Qiyun Sect?"

Although Nangong Zheng had a cold look and an arrogant attitude, he was very protective of his own. As soon as he sat down, he began to interrogate him.

"This is a misunderstanding."

The royal envoy, Wu Yuanqing, was somewhat embarrassed.

"How much of a misunderstanding there is."

Nangong was being aggressive.

“Brother Nangong, I have also come here on the orders of the Divine Dynasty.”

"The will of the disciples of the Divine Dynasty is not the will of God."

Zhao Tianzhi's name was feared by everyone, but Nangong Zheng did not take it seriously.

“Brother Nangong, this is a disciple who has met with the gods and received divine permission.”

Nangong Zheng's expression hardened, and the atmosphere became tense.
