My cultivation disguise has been exposed by Xiao Sizi.

As soon as the pill was produced, a strange medicinal fragrance that was intoxicating and seemed to bring withered trees back to life instantly filled the entire room!

"This is an excellent elixir that I refined using several thousand-year-old spiritual herbs and a little special material. It is called the Creation Blood Yang Pill."

Li Chen handed the pill to Qin Qiong, his voice steady and powerful.

"Swallow it. It will reshape your vital energy and restore your physique to its peak condition!"

Qin Qiong looked at the elixir that radiated golden light, his hands trembling slightly.

Without the slightest hesitation, he took the pill, tilted his head back, and swallowed it.

"boom!"

The moment the pill entered the stomach.

Qin Qiong felt as if a dormant volcano that had been dormant for a hundred years had exploded in his stomach!

A violent, scorching medicinal power, containing boundless vitality, surged wildly towards his limbs, bones, and meridians like a river bursting its banks!

"Ugh—!"

Qin Qiong raised his head and let out a long, suppressed roar.

His skin instantly turned blood red, and scalding white steam rose from his pores, enveloping him in a cloud of white mist.

Under the utterly shocked gazes of the crowd outside the door.

A chilling miracle is unfolding in Qin Qiong's life!

His once withered and loose muscles were like a parched sponge receiving rain after a long drought, rapidly expanding and becoming fuller at a speed visible to the naked eye!

The muscles in his chest and arms became full and hard again, exuding an explosive sense of power!

Not only that.

His head of white hair, which was as white as withered grass, turned into thick, black hair at a speed visible to the naked eye, starting from the roots!

The wrinkles on his face were quickly stretched open, and the deathly aura that seemed to be on the verge of death completely vanished!

In the short time it takes for half an incense stick to burn!

As the white steam enveloping Qin Qiong gradually dissipated.

The one sitting on the soft couch was no longer the dying, emaciated old man.

Instead, he was a strong, middle-aged general with a resolute face, sword-like eyebrows, and an aura of terrifying power like that of an ancient beast!

Qin Shubao is thirty years old!

The peerless war god of the Tang Dynasty has returned in full force!

"Click click click..."

Qin Qiong slowly clenched his fists, and his bones emitted a series of crisp, continuous popping sounds, like popping beans.

He suddenly opened his eyes, and two beams of light, as if they were real, shot out from the depths of his eyes!

That terrifying power, so abundant it was almost overflowing, made him feel like he could kill an elephant with a single punch!

"Father!"

Looking at his father, whose appearance had drastically changed and who seemed to have become twenty years younger, Qin Huaidao was so excited that his legs went weak and he knelt down on the ground.

Wan'er covered her mouth with both hands, tears streaming down her face like a broken string of pearls. The towering, all-powerful father she remembered had finally returned!

"This old minister kowtows in gratitude to Your Highness for saving my life! From this day forward, Qin Qiong's life belongs to Your Highness!"

Qin Qiong rolled off the bed, his movements as swift as a leopard. Ignoring all the rules about kneeling and lifting someone off the ground, he used all his strength to kowtow heavily to Li Chen.

"Alright, alright, get up."

Li Chen looked at his masterpiece with satisfaction, waved his hand, and said, "Go test your skills in the yard, but don't tear down my guest room."

Qin Qiong suddenly stood up, his eyes blazing with fighting spirit.

"Huai Dao! Bring me your father's double maces!"

"yes!"

Qin Huaidao wiped away his tears, excitedly rushed out the door, and took the pair of long-forgotten four-sided gold-plated maces from the guard.

Each of these golden maces weighs 65 jin (approximately 32.5 kg), totaling 130 jin (approximately 65 kg)! Since Qin Qiong fell seriously ill, these golden maces have never left the weapon rack.

Qin Qiong strode to the center of the spacious courtyard of the Qin Prince's Mansion.

He was shirtless, and with his strong, powerful arms outstretched, he grabbed the handles of the double maces.

"drink!"

A thunderous roar echoed through the courtyard.

Qin Qiong suddenly shook his hands, and the four-sided golden mace, weighing 130 jin, turned into two golden whirlwinds in his hands as light as two wooden sticks!

"Whoosh—! Boom!"

With a swing of the double maces, a series of ear-piercing sonic booms erupted in the air!

The powerful energy swirled up all the snow on the ground in the courtyard, forming a white tornado that swirled around him!

That domineering aura of unstoppable advance and sweeping away thousands of troops made Cheng Yaojin, who was standing in the corridor, feel excited and wished he could rush up and fight his old brother for three hundred rounds!

"Excellent! What a great war god of the Tang Dynasty!"

Li Shimin stood on the steps, looking at the invincible general in the courtyard, so excited that his hands trembled, and he let out a hearty laugh.

"With Uncle Bao back, my Tang Dynasty is now as powerful as a tiger with wings! Who in the world dares to challenge me?!"

Li Shimin was so excited that his face was flushed. He suddenly turned his head and looked at Li Chen, who was leaning against the doorpost and yawning.

"Chen'er! Today, Uncle Bao has been reborn! This is a joyous occasion that will shake the entire court and the country!"

Li Shimin waved his hand and announced with great magnanimity, "I have decided! Tonight, right here in your Qin Prince's residence, we will hold a grand banquet! I will invite all my trusted civil and military officials to come, and we will all celebrate properly!"

"What?!"

Li Chen's yawn, which he was about to yawn, was abruptly cut off. He stared at Li Shimin with wide eyes and a face full of protest.

"Old Deng, are you out of your mind?! Celebrating is fine, but go hold your banquet at your Taiji Palace! What are you doing causing trouble in my quiet retreat?"

Li Chen was extremely unhappy. Pointing at the courtyard, he complained, "So many people came, making a complete mess. My servants will have to clean it up tomorrow. No way! Absolutely not!"

"That's not up to you!"

Li Shimin was in a great mood at the moment and started acting like a rogue.

He put his hands on his hips and retorted confidently, "My national treasury has been used for war and disaster relief lately, there's no money for a banquet! Besides, your place is filled with celestial energy, and the food is a hundred times better than what's served in the imperial kitchen. Where else would we hold the banquet if not here?"

"You—!" Li Chen was speechless with anger.

Li Shimin gave him no chance to refuse and turned to the accompanying eunuchs to give loud orders.

"Reveal my imperial decree!"

"Immediately go and invite Duke Changsun Wuji of Qi, Duke Fang Xuanling of Liang, Duke Du Ruhui of Cai, Duke Li Jing of Wei, and those old scoundrels, Yuchi Gong!"

"Tell them, tonight at 7 PM, all of you get to the Prince of Qin's residence for the banquet! Anyone who dares to be even a fraction late will have six months' salary deducted!"

The eunuch accepted the order and ran off to deliver it.

Li Shimin turned around and looked at Li Chen, whose face was full of black lines and who was gritting his teeth. A very subtle glint of shrewdness and calculation flashed in his eyes.

He summoned all these most important officials of the Tang Dynasty today, not just to celebrate Qin Qiong's recovery from his illness.

He was aware of the information that the aristocratic families had been secretly gathering these past few days.

Now that all the major families have guessed the whereabouts of the Guardian Immortal, there is no need for him, as the emperor, to keep it a secret from his confidants any longer.

Tonight, he will reveal the most terrifying trump card of the Tang Dynasty royal family in front of everyone!

He wanted everyone to know that the sixteenth prince of the Tang Dynasty was the immortal master who could summon wind and rain and possess boundless magical power!
