The number one rebel of the Great Wu

"Oh right, isn't there also the Yang Rejuvenation Pill?"

Chen Changgeng suddenly slapped his forehead.

At that time, besides obtaining the Gangyang Technique and the Great Rejuvenation Pill from that secret room, I also obtained a Yang Rejuvenation Pill.

The function of this Yang Huan Dan is to reverse the attributes of internal energy.

It's simply a reversal of extreme yin into lesser yang.

Chen Changgeng did not eat it because the Gangyang Gong could slowly absorb the Ziyuan Jiyin internal energy.

This time it actually came in handy!

But... hopefully it will work.

After all, this time he had transformed from Yin to Yang.

Chen Changgeng stood up, supported by his own strength, and walked outside.

Xiao Yun, who was still healing Xiao Jingtian, merely glanced at him without interfering.

Upon arriving outside the temple, Chen Changgeng asked a palace eunuch to help him onto his horse, and then he rode towards the capital.

Halfway there, they naturally saw Shen Qingci waiting on the road.

At this moment, Chen Changgeng was in so much pain that he was barely conscious. He lay sprawled on the horse's back, as if he were dead.

Upon seeing this, Shen Qingci panicked and rushed over to snatch the reins from the eunuch's hand, anxiously reaching for Chen Changgeng's neck.

"Don't worry, I'm not dead yet, but I'm about to die."

"Have Ru Shuang and Ru Yi take me home. I need to go into seclusion... to heal my wounds."

"Seclusion...to heal injuries?"

Ru Shuang had indeed told Shen Qingci before that the boy had the idea of ​​learning martial arts.

Why are you talking nonsense before it's even started?

But Shen Qingci was in no mood to ask questions, so she quickly called the two of them over and took them back to Chen Changgeng.

Chen Changgeng was carried on Ru Shuang's back and moved away at lightning speed.

In a daze, Chen Changgeng seemed to see tears glistening in Shen Qingci's eyes.

I don't know if I felt sorry for myself or if I was still scared.

……

A month later.

Inside the forbidden room where Chen Changgeng was in seclusion in the Crown Prince's residence.

Ever since the major incident at Beiqing Temple, Chen Changgeng returned to the Crown Prince's residence.

Shen Qingci specially arranged this place for him to seclude himself and heal his injuries.

After Chen Changgeng took the Yang Huan Dan, it did indeed work, but the effect was rather slow.

It took a full seven days just to suppress that profound Yin energy.

With the help of pure Yang energy, Gang Yang Gong quickly returned to normal.

Meanwhile, Chen Changgeng was slowly repairing his meridians.

The effects of the Great Rejuvenation Pill I took earlier are still quite strong.

Even though his meridians were severely damaged at the time, he already had the medicinal power of the Great Rejuvenation Pill in his body, so not only was he unharmed, but he also benefited from the misfortune, which allowed his meridians to be reshaped and become much stronger.

In the past month, Chen Changgeng not only fully absorbed the medicinal power of the Great Rejuvenation Pill and recovered from his injuries, but also directly cultivated the Gangyang Skill to the fifth level.

The internal energy that Ziyuan left in Chen Changgeng's body has been almost completely absorbed.

With all these things combined, Chen Changgeng's strength naturally increased significantly.

I reckon he already has the strength of a fourth-level martial artist.

"Hmph, now I have the ability to go toe-to-toe with Ru Shuang and Ru Yi."

Chen Changgeng slowly opened his eyes, a smile appearing on his lips.

After all, he had continuously consumed the Great Rejuvenation Pill, Yang Huandan, and Ziyuan's thirty years of internal energy.

This achievement is not excessive.

Among cultivators of that caliber, he might be considered a genius, but not quite a top-tier one.

"Sigh, from now on, I'll have to walk this path myself!"

"Accumulating internal energy slowly is definitely not going to work; we need to think of another way."

"As for the Gangyang Technique, as long as you break through to the sixth level as soon as possible and begin to temper your body with Gang Qi, you will be immune to all evils."

"Then I should be invincible below the first level."

What Chen Changgeng didn't know was that because his meridians were destroyed and then slowly repaired by the Great Rejuvenation Pill, and with the participation of pure Yang True Qi, he was able to recover.

In fact, Chen Changgeng had already begun to protect his body with his protective qi.

Moreover, it has now been tempered by as much as 30%.

Don't underestimate this small 30%. With just this 30%, the effect of ordinary Yin True Qi internal force on Chen Changgeng will be greatly reduced.

"Squeak!"

Chen Changgeng pushed open the door.

Geng Liang, who had been dozing off by the door, jumped up with a look of delight.

"Brother Chen, you're finally out!"

During his month-long seclusion, Chen Changgeng didn't leave the house once. He didn't shower for a month and now has a scraggly beard and smells terrible.

However, since he was still a eunuch, he used his inner energy to shave his beard before coming out.

"You've been guarding this place for a month?"

Chen Changgeng asked in surprise.

"Of course, I usually follow you around."

"You're in seclusion, so there's nothing for me to do in this manor."

"Aside from occasionally going to talk to Yuzhu, I spend the rest of my time here."

Geng Liang grinned.

"I'll have someone boil some water for you right away."

"Let's go to the side room next door. Miss Xiang'er made you a new outfit, and it's in the side room."

Xiang'er...

Chen Changgeng raised an eyebrow slightly. Ever since he returned from Jiangxia, he had been busy and hadn't seen her for a long time.

I've been in seclusion for another month, and you know what, I've actually started to miss her.

"No need to boil water, just bring some cold water."

Chen Changgeng waved his hand.

Geng Liang responded with an "Ah!" and immediately waved his hand to summon several eunuchs, giving them the orders.

These were all arranged here by Shen Qingci, just in case they are needed.

During her seclusion, Shen Qingci sent someone to check on her almost every day, and she was relieved to know that her condition was gradually improving.

He had already received a message instructing Chen Changgeng to go find her as soon as he emerged from seclusion.

Chen Changgeng was in a hurry.

"This woman, at least she has a conscience!"

Chen Changgeng arrived at the side room and watched as the eunuchs carried in buckets of water, quickly filling a large wooden tub.

Then he stuck both hands into the wooden bucket, and in a moment the water began to steam.

After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

After taking a shower, Chen Changgeng changed his clothes and came out.

Geng Liang, who was waiting outside, was taken aback.

Now Chen Changgeng has a rosy complexion and fair skin, as if he has been reborn.

"Holy crap... Brother Chen."

"You're fucking handsome!"

"So handsome, what a pity he's a eunuch!"

"Otherwise, who knows how many young girls in the capital would be so preoccupied with thinking of you that they couldn't sleep!"

Although Geng Liang behaved much better after following Chen Changgeng into the Crown Prince's residence, his background as a petty hoodlum was still evident.

Unable to resist, I started joking.

Chen Changgeng grinned, didn't explain to him, and led him directly towards the hall.

As soon as I reached the front yard, I saw several people from the palace walking in that direction.

Shen Qingci had changed into some loose-fitting clothes and was sitting there.

Right in front of her, an old man wearing a square scarf was taking her pulse.

The Crown Prince, who had been staying in his residence, suddenly came out and surrounded the old man with a worried expression.

"What's up? Say something! You're driving me crazy!"

"Well……"

"Congratulations, Second Prince, it's a happy pregnancy!"

"Your Highness is indeed pregnant!"

In fact, the news of Shen Qingci's pregnancy would be confirmed by the imperial physician within two or three days.

However, Xiao Jingtian was overjoyed when he found out, and insisted on summoning several more imperial physicians to come and see.

The eldest son's eldest son, the eldest grandson, is about to be born. How could he not be happy!

This is the third imperial physician to come and check my pulse!
