After failing the imperial examination, he began to wield immense power after entering the palace!

Li Fan sneered inwardly, but acted very submissive.

"Eunuch Hai, you flatter me. Your mistress and I only have Consort Xie."

Grandpa Hai squinted and curled the corners of his mouth.

He's lived for fifty years, what kind of people hasn't he seen?

The more obsequious someone is on the surface, the more likely they are to bite you behind your back.

If this little brat were to actually climb into the Empress's bed, who knows, he might start to act arrogantly and domineeringly.

Anyway, there's another one in Runan who looks even more like His Majesty, and he'll be arriving in half a month. He absolutely won't allow Li Fan to live.

"Hehe, you're starting to practice martial arts at your age, it's a bit late."

"Perfect timing! We happen to have a top-tier cultivation technique that can be mastered quickly, called the 'Azure Emperor's Wood Transformation Technique'."

"This technique was created by the Grandmaster Qingdi of the previous dynasty. The method of cultivation is very simple: by constantly absorbing the internal energy of others, one can quickly convert it into one's own."

Leng Shuangqiu was slightly surprised when she heard about this technique, and said, "I didn't expect that the Azure Emperor's domineering technique would fall into the hands of Eunuch Hai."

"Gao Jin, don't be too optimistic. In order to become a Grandmaster, the Azure Emperor absorbed the internal energy of countless masters over ten years."

"There aren't that many experts in Kyoto for you to absorb."

"However, with this technique as a foundation, you should have no problem reaching the middle third rank."

Seeing that Leng Shuangqiu had spoken, Li Fan felt somewhat relieved and clasped his hands in greeting:

"Yes, I will follow Eunuch Hai's arrangements."

Hai Gonggong took a booklet directly from his pocket and handed it to Li Fan.

"It just so happens that they've captured a few martial arts masters in the prison. I'll take you there now to give them a try."

Hehe, the Azure Emperor's Wood Transformation Technique is indeed domineering and powerful, but it has serious drawbacks.

The more internal energy a practitioner absorbs from others, the more internal energy of different attributes will conflict within their body.

He eventually went mad from his cultivation and died suddenly!

Whoever practices this will die!

Li Fan immediately replied, "Okay."

A hint of curiosity flashed in Leng Shuangqiu's eyes.

She had never seen the cultivation techniques left behind by the Grandmaster, so she wanted to go and see them.

Soon, the three of them, one after the other, passed through numerous palaces and arrived at the depths of the imperial prison.

Grandpa Hai stopped in front of a prison cell.

Inside was a disheveled man, his hands and feet chained with thick iron chains, his body covered in wounds.

But those eyes still gleamed with a fierce light, clearly those of a desperate criminal.

"That's the one, Xiao Gaozi, you go give it a try."

"How's it going with the mnemonic? If there's anything you don't understand, just ask me now."

"However, although the Azure Emperor's Wood Transformation Technique is domineering, it is not so easy to learn."

"It's normal to fail when absorbing someone else's internal energy for the first time, so don't worry about it too much."

The prisoner, who had been hanging his head, suddenly raised it upon hearing this and gave a disdainful laugh:

"I've cultivated my inner energy for twenty years, and you, a mere eunuch, think you can absorb it? Wishful thinking!"

He tugged at the chain, making a clanging sound, his face full of mockery:

"I'm just standing here and not moving, and you... ah..."

He hadn't finished speaking.

Li Fan had already pressed a palm against his forehead, the movement swift and decisive, without the slightest hesitation.

The prisoner felt a strange suction force pouring into him from the top of his head, as if an invisible hand had reached into his dantian and was violently tearing and plundering it!

"you!!"

His eyes widened, his whole body trembled violently, and his internal energy surged into Li Fan's palm like a burst dam.

The cell was suddenly brightly lit, and the air currents stirred, making the torches flicker.

A few breaths later.

Li Fan withdrew his hand.

He stood still, closed his eyes to feel the surging power within his body, then opened them, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.

"Grandpa Hai, I've learned it."

As for the prisoner, he lay limp on the ground, his eyes vacant and lifeless, his lips trembling, his voice hoarse and desperate:

"Where did my internal energy go? It's all gone."

"Ah, all my twenty years of arduous practice have vanished..."

He lay limply on the ground like a snake whose bones had been removed, unable to utter another harsh word.

Grandpa Hai's expression froze.

He had also studied the Azure Emperor's Wood Transformation Technique and knew that even for him, it would take a considerable amount of time to learn it.

But this kid only watched it the whole way, and he learned it as soon as he got it?

This martial arts talent is truly astonishing.

But it doesn't matter, the more people this technique absorbs, the faster they die.

"Hmm, not bad. Come on, let's go absorb a few more martial artists."

Leng Shuangqiu stared in astonishment at Li Fan's departing figure. This kid was truly a rough gem, it's just that he was discovered too late.

Next, Li Fan absorbed the energy of two more martial artists.

When the third person fell, he clenched his fist, feeling his internal energy filling to its limit, like a volcano about to erupt.

My lower abdomen was burning hot, and the vital energy in my meridians surged like a river.

Peak of the Ninth Rank.

He was just one step away from reaching the eighth rank.

"This Azure Emperor's Wood Transformation Technique is truly powerful."

When Li Fan calmed down, he realized that his crotch area felt a little tight.

He moved closer to Grandpa Hai and lowered his voice:

"Ahem, Eunuch Hai, do you... have any secret techniques for shrinking the penis or anything like that?"

"After all, my thing down there is sometimes quite noticeable..."

Grandpa Hai paused, glancing stiffly at Li Fan's crotch.

It is indeed swollen.

If this gets noticed by someone with ulterior motives, trouble will inevitably follow sooner or later.

"This is called the 'Locking Yang Technique.' It involves circulating internal energy, contracting the perineum, and focusing that area..."

After listening, Li Fan closed his eyes and followed the instructions.

A few breaths later.

He looked down and saw that the swollen area had indeed shrunk back, becoming as flat as a normal eunuch.

Hai Gonggong's eye twitched, and he couldn't help but roll his eyes.

This martial arts talent is truly terrifying.

How can I learn it so quickly?

"Alright, let's go back."

"Remember, don't get cocky just because you've learned a little martial arts. In this palace, the key to longevity is to keep a low profile."

"If you ever cause any trouble by relying on your martial arts skills and it affects the Empress, we'll be the first to kill you."

Li Fan sneered inwardly.

You dog eunuch, once I've mastered my divine skills, you'll be the first one I kill.

"Yes, Grandpa Hai, Xiao Gao will certainly remember your teachings."

When he returned to his residence, he sat cross-legged on the bed and took out the book "The Azure Emperor's Wood Transformation Technique" again.

The booklet was very thin; the front part contained the mental techniques and formulas, and the back part included several martial arts skills.

He turned to the next few pages, and his gaze suddenly stopped.

【Azure Emperor Dragon Claw Hand】

He looked closely and discovered that the Dragon Claw Hand was a powerful and fierce style, with five fingers like hooks, specifically designed to grab people's joints and acupoints.

If caught, the consequences can range from broken bones and fractured tendons to immediate death.

Moreover, this martial art requires extremely high internal energy, so it's pointless for ordinary martial artists to practice it.

However, Li Fan has absorbed the internal energy of three people, making his foundation quite solid, so it's worth a try.

"That's it."

……

Princess Anle has been very irritable these past few days.

It's been three days. That lackey has vanished into thin air since entering Chengqian Palace; he hasn't shown his face again.

She paced back and forth, her red skirt fluttering, her chest heaving with anger.

With each step I took, images from that day flashed through my mind.

He had his hands around her waist, he was pressed against her from behind, and the way he looked at her as she got dressed...

"We can't wait any longer!"

Princess Anle suddenly stopped, a ruthless glint flashing in her peach blossom eyes.

Today, she plans to go to Chengqian Palace in person to find that dog of a eunuch!

……

Outside the gates of the Ministry of Justice prison.

A prison van was brought out, and Zhang Xuan, wearing a black hood, was shoved inside.

Ahead was a blue-curtained carriage, inside which Li Fan sat with Zhang Miaozhen beside him.

The carriage swayed and rattled as it drove up the long street, surrounded by Imperial Guards in all directions, their armor gleaming and their weapons like a forest.

in the carriage.

Zhang Miaozhen held a long sword across her lap.

Today she changed into a black outfit, her waist was cinched even tighter, making her slender waist look so delicate that it could be grasped in one hand, while her breasts appeared even fuller and more prominent.

Her high ponytail hung down her back, with a few stray hairs clinging to her tanned neck, exuding a sharp and dashing air.

"Please rest assured, Eunuch Gao, no matter who comes today, I will protect you."
