The two of them were silent and stopped talking.

Until a few minutes later.

"I'll leave the things to you. I hope you won't live up to His Highness's great hope for you.

This time, in order to prevent you from being liquidated, His Highness has paid a lot to Xizong." Xiao Ling warned in a deep voice.

Although he didn't really trust Cheng Hui, this was His Highness's order.

"Subordinates, I will live up to my trust!" Cheng Hui solemnly clasped his fists and bowed in the direction of the imperial palace, Yushu Palace.

"I hope so. I'll take my leave now." Xiao Ling put down the iron box and took a deep look at him.

Then he opened the window, jumped out, and disappeared into the night in the blink of an eye.

Cheng Hui was left alone and picked up the small black iron box placed on the table.

He closed his eyes and unconsciously flashed through his mind all the care, training, and love his adoptive mother had given him over the years.

Eventually, the trace of struggle deep in his eyes slowly faded and disappeared.

"Don't blame me... mother..."

"You are a high-altitude princess...and we...can only wallow in the mire looking for food..."

"If it weren't for my extraordinary talent, I'm afraid you wouldn't have even looked at me at all back then."

"I have done so many things for you... I have already paid back the love I had back then..."

Picking up the black box, Cheng Hui shook it gently.

With a crisp click, the box opened, and three golden rings with colorful lights were neatly placed inside.

"It's time for me to live for myself"

At the beginning of August, several spiritual envoys near the Golden Wing Tower of the East Sect gathered at the Yinhuai stronghold in compliance with the order of the tower owner, but they all disappeared the next day.

Rumors circulated in Xizong that among the three races, two were found, one fled and disappeared, and one died in battle.

Princess Qianye was ordered to stay in the palace and was not allowed to go out.

Xuehong Pavilion sent experts to take over the defense of Yushu Palace.

The goddess Tongzhang is temporarily missing.

A few days later, Emperor Ling invited the masters of Zhenyi, Dao, and the two religions to come into the palace and ask for advice on the way to immortality and the strategy of governing the country.

August 4th.

Emperor Ling issued an edict to take Zhenyi and Daoism as the two sects and take charge of Jixian Academy to take charge of the affairs of Taoist foreign sects in the world.

The Xuanzhengyuan was established, with the Xizongzhen Buddhist Temple as its lord, to govern all Buddhist affairs in the world.

The next day, the Great Ling planned to send troops to Annan and launch another military campaign in order to expand the territory.

"Xiaoxi, where did you buy this pearl? It's actually purple! Wow, it's really beautiful."

Inside Tianbao Palace.

Chuixi felt slightly proud as he was surrounded by several Taoist girls.

Everyone admired the purple pearl in her hand.

The pearl is the size of a cherry, smooth and beautiful, and reflects an attractive luster in the sunlight.

"It's a pharmaceutical orb treasured in my family. My father was very happy when he saw that I was making good progress, so he gave it to me as a birthday gift." Chuixi said with a smile.

"Your father really dotes on you!"

"If you were to sell such a purple pearl, you wouldn't be able to get it at all if you didn't do it right?"

"Even in alchemy halls, it is rare to see such high-grade treasures! It's amazing!"

A group of girls were chattering non-stop.

Chuixi felt more and more proud because her family was naturally not that rich.

She earned it herself.

In the past, I just casually sold Zhang Ying's whereabouts, and I got such great benefits.

Now this purple pearl is the reward she got for agreeing to take Zhang Ying to see him outside the palace.

She had always been worried that the person who bought and sold Zhang Ying's whereabouts might be up to no good.

But yesterday, she finally met the man who spent the money.

That is a beautiful young lady with beautiful face.

She made it clear that her life was saved by Zhang Ying, and now she finally found Tianbao Palace after a long journey.

But I don’t want to come to the door unexpectedly.

That's why I borrowed her hand to give Zhang Ying a surprise secretly.

This kind of romantic and beautiful thing is like a story in a drama, extremely moving.

Although Chuixi felt a little sad, she still hoped that the young lady could reveal her feelings to Zhang Ying and achieve good things.

We have traveled so far, scattered so much money, just to repay my kindness and see my lover...

If you just think about this kind of will and determination, you will know how many obstacles and difficulties it contains.

If such a story is brought about by her, it will surely become a great story in the future!

After the sisters finished admiring the purple beads, Chuixi took the beads back and went directly to the cave.

Soon, the day's study of alchemy ended and Master Qingyou left.

The sky outside the cave gradually darkened.

"Zhang Ying, didn't you say before that you wanted a century-old red Ganoderma lucidum?" Chuixi suddenly said.

At this time, both of them were cleaning up the remains of the alchemy in the cave.

Hearing this, Zhang Rongfang raised his head.

"Have you made an agreement with your family?"

"Well, Ganoderma lucidum is valuable and needs to be inspected face to face, with one hand paying the money and the other hand handing over the medicine." Chuixi nodded.

"The location is Baixin Restaurant in Hushan Town between Tianbao Palace and Yangshuo. As for the time, it will be eight o'clock tonight, how about?"

"Okay." Zhang Rongfang didn't hesitate.

This medicine is the key to his practicing the second level of the Golden Toad Gong, Hidden Moon, and is the main medicine.

So you have to be careful.

"What's the price?" he asked.

"My father said that according to the market price, for my sake, it can be reduced by 10%." Chuixi smiled shyly.

She wasn't talking nonsense, it was indeed the deal.

The person who gave her the purple pearl asked her to make an appointment with Zhang Rongfang, right there.

And the hundred-year-old red Ganoderma lucidum promised by her father is indeed real, but the time is not today, but the day after tomorrow.

"So, thank you very much, Miss Chuixi!" Zhang Rongfang made a gesture of saluting, causing the other party to shy away.

"No, no, but remember, don't forget the time." Chuixi warned.

"Don't worry, I'm sure." Zhang Rongfang replied seriously.

It just so happened that during this period, he also planned to go out and see what the current situation was like in Dadu.

Is Dongzong...Golden Wing Tower...still there?

Between Dadu and Yangshuo, there are some small and exquisite towns, scattered like pearls in series, existing on both sides of the official road.

Most of these towns rely on caravans, farmers, tourists and others to make a living.

The town is mostly filled with inns, restaurants, teahouses and other resting places.

Hushan Town is such a small town.

It is only thirty miles away from Dadu, but many people will choose to live here instead of Dadu.

The main reason is that the accommodation price here is only half of that in Dadu.

Zhang Rongfang took advantage of his outing this time and planned to take a good tour of the surrounding area.

I've been in Yangshuo for so long and haven't gone around yet.

Pack the package, the banknotes, and some precious elixirs left behind.

He planned to go around and ask about the market prices of medicinal herbs. Some of the prices were not much different and could be purchased locally without having to go to distant channels.

After leaving Tianbao Palace, he spread out his body skills and rushed toward Hushan Town at an unhurried pace. By about six o'clock in the afternoon,

We arrived safely in town.

There are only three streets in the entire Hushan Town, which are like two bamboo strips strung in a straight line.
