Chapter 375: Receiving Gifts, Royal Arsenal

‘A little impatience will mess up a big plan. ’

‘I come from a noble family, how can I be like a mud-legged person? Let him be proud for now. ’

Li Yi, the ninth young master of the Li family, kept comforting himself in his heart and looking for reasons.

After taking a deep breath to adjust his emotions, he slowly lowered his head and said, "Master Shen, if there was any offense just now, please don't take offense."

Li Yi thought he covered it up well, but everyone around him also saw the imperceptible forbearance in his words.

Shen Qing chuckled twice when he saw this, and did not continue to entangle. He reached out and grabbed the wooden box held high by the other party in his hand. Under the gaze of several people, he gently opened the wooden box.

Suddenly, a strong medicinal fragrance overflowed, making people feel energetic.

Shen Qing lowered his head and looked into the wooden box.

I saw an old ginseng pill in the middle that was gray in color. Although it was inconspicuous, it was full of aura of agility and did not look like an ordinary product.

Wei Chengye, who was in Pangde, saw this and exclaimed in a low voice: "Good stuff, good stuff!"

He looked at Old Shendan with bright eyes and praised him profusely: "I heard that Old Shendan is of great help to martial arts practitioners in condensing their souls. It is really a rare treasure. Mr. Wu Hou is sincere this time. It’s quite enough.”

When Wei Chengye whispered, he couldn't help but glance at Shen Qing, feeling that he was very lucky.

It is unheard of and unheard of for someone who killed someone to actually get the other person to apologize.

There was inevitably some jealousy in his heart, and he even thought that if he had done it himself at that time, maybe these good things would be his.

When he thought of this, he regretted even more.

After listening to Wei Chengye's words, Shen Qing had a firm idea of ​​the value of this old shendan.

He closed the wooden box and put it in his arms. His eyes fell on Li Yi again: "Since Master Ninth is so sincere, the matter has been revealed from now on. Lord Marquis has come a long way, so why not have a cup in the Yamen Tea before leaving?"

Wu Hou heard that Shen Qing was giving an order to exclude guests. He stood up and said: "I have something to do today, so there is no need to have tea. I will have a long time in the future, so I will have the opportunity."

Li Zhentian seemed to have remembered something and said, "By the way, Lord Shen participated in the Jing Rebellion Conference not long ago, right?"

"Exactly."

This matter is not a secret. You can know it by asking casually, so Shen Qing did not hide anything and admitted it.

Li Zhentian then asked: "Many descendants of my Li family also participated in this peace meeting, but unfortunately they all died in unknown circumstances. I would like to ask if they died at the hands of Huang Tianjiao as rumored?"

"Yes." Shen Qing confirmed firmly: "To be precise, it is in Huang Tianjiao's killing formation."

"Okay, I believe you." Wu Hou Li Zhentian greeted Li Yi and said, "Let's go!"

Li Yi hurriedly followed.

After the two figures completely disappeared from the Bingma Si Yamen, Wei Chengye softened, slumped on the chair, and sat down, his heart pounding non-stop.

He felt that today was the scariest day since he became the chief commander of the Military and Horse Division. Looking back now, he felt like he was dreaming.

Wei Chengye looked at Shen Qing and fell into deep thought.

If I read it correctly just now, Wu Hou Li Zhentian's attention was entirely on Shen Qing, and his eyes were scanning Shen Qing back and forth, as if he wanted to see through him completely.

Is there some background behind Shen Qing?

For a moment, Wei Chengye's heart condensed and he felt that it was very possible.

Master Lan valued him very much, and so did Marquis Wu.

The big shots must know more than him, there must be something unusual about Shen Qing.

You must be more careful in the future, never offend, and make good friends.

Shen Qing didn't know what Wei Chengye was thinking, and stood expressionless at this moment.

Just now he noticed Wu Hou Li Zhentian, and calmly sent out a ray of spiritual consciousness. He kept checking his situation, but he blocked part of it with his spiritual consciousness.

Judging from that ray of soul alone, Li Zhentian's strength is probably on par with Xue Zhao, and far stronger than Qintian Supervisor Xie Rui and Shanhaisi Li Wenze.

Shen Qing couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.

He knew very well that he was just lucky today. Although he didn't know the specific thoughts of Wu Hou Li Zhentian, he certainly wouldn't be so 'pleasant' because of a nobody like him.

If you really take yourself seriously in the future, you will pay a heavy price.

After Shen Qing's thoughts changed rapidly, his mind quickly returned to clarity, and he was not blinded by the momentary pride.

He put his hand on his chest and rubbed it twice, feeling the raised lines on the Qiwen Cuiying Token, and thought to himself: "I'm not strong enough now, so I have to go to the royal arsenal as soon as possible."

…

Outside the yamen of Bingma Si.

Wu Hou Li Zhentian and Ninth Young Master Li Yi came out one after another.

He saw Li Yi looking depressed, but the unwillingness and resentment in his eyes had not completely dissipated. Instead, they were like a suppressed flame burning in the dark.

Li Zhentian asked: "Why, are you dissatisfied?"

Li Yi, who was questioned, said: "Dad, I'm not dissatisfied. Dad's decision must be justified. But I still have a feeling of anger that I haven't vented yet, which makes me feel a little uncomfortable."

"It's okay to feel uncomfortable." Li Zhentian looked forward, put his hands behind his back, and said as he walked on the street: "Your cultivation is not as good as others, and your position is not as good as others. If you don't rely on your family, how can you compare with him?" ?”

Li Yi's eyes were complicated, and he couldn't help but feel a ripple in his heart.

He understood that Li Zhentian was telling the truth.

In Li Zhentian's eyes, although his son was said to come from a noble family and was talented and intelligent, he had always been arrogant and arrogant.

If it hadn't been a setback this time, it might have gotten worse in the future.

By that time, if you hit the iron plate, it may not be so easy to get over it.

Wu Hou Li Zhentian said sincerely: "A true strong man must not only have extraordinary strength, but also have a mind that tolerates the world. You are still far away. This time, use that Shen Qing as a stepping stone and teach you a lesson. Eat one It's wise to be wise, just make up your mind to surpass him in the future."

"You are a son of a noble family, can't you compare to him as a hunter? If you really want to keep doing this, then it's my fault."

The words of Wuhou Li Zhentian made Li Yi tremble all over and his heart was raging.

Li Zhentian turned and left, leaving Li Yi alone, facing his inner struggles and choices.

After a while, Li Yi clasped his hands and said seriously: "The child will definitely live up to his father's trust. One day in the future, he will use Shen Qing as a stepping stone to avoid today's shame."

When Li Zhentian heard this, an imperceptible smile appeared on his face.

…

In a corner of the palace.

Shen Qing stood in front of an ordinary palace.

This palace is low and simple, even looking a little poor and shabby, in sharp contrast to the glamorous palaces in the surrounding palaces.

Without the guidance of insiders, who would have guessed that this humble building was actually the famous royal arsenal.

A holy place that gathers the essence of martial arts from all over the world.

Shen Qing held up the knife and walked forward, reaching the palace gate.

The palace gate was lightly covered, and the two palace guards in armor stood like sculptures, motionless.

When Shen Qing appeared in front of them, they each pulled out their spears and stopped Shen Qing.

"Who is coming?"

Shen Qing took out the emerald green shadow order with green patterns and testified: "My Majesty, Shen Qing, the Commander of the Army and Horses, has your Majesty's permission to have free access to the royal arsenal. I hope you two will let me go."

The guards took the token, examined it carefully, and nodded respectfully after confirming it was correct.

The door was gently pushed open by the two people, and Shen Qing strode in.

As soon as he entered the arsenal, a strong medicinal fragrance mixed with the smell of ancient ink hit his face, which shocked him.

Shen Qing raised his head and looked around. Wherever he looked, various white porcelain bottles and miscellaneous books were densely arranged on rows of well-proportioned wooden shelves.

He stepped forward to take a look and saw that these porcelain bottles were all labeled, including Qi and Blood Pills, Qi Restoration Pills, Foundation Establishment Pills, etc.

Shen Qing secretly estimated in his heart that there are probably tens of thousands of kinds of elixirs hidden in this layer alone, which is so dazzling that it is dizzying to see.

Just eating these pills would probably take three to five years.

In addition to these elixirs, there are also a large number of various exercise books.

Just when Shen Qing was amazed, an old man wearing a brocade robe and a kind face came slowly.

When he saw Shen Qing, he raised his hands and asked, "What do you call your Excellency?"

Shen Qing's spiritual consciousness scanned the old man's body and found that it was a powerful person in the void realm, and his heart skipped a beat.

He didn't expect that such a big shot would be willing to sit on the bench and work in the arsenal.

But it’s right to think about it.

The royal arsenal was collected and built by the Zhou royal family over hundreds of years, and it took countless efforts.

It would be abnormal if there is no powerful guard.

Shen Qing clasped his hands and returned the greeting: "I'm the Chief of the Army and Horses Division, Shen Qing."

"It turns out it's Master Shen Qing in person. I'm glad to meet you." The old man introduced himself with a smile: "I am the general manager of the royal arsenal, Uncle Ji."

"Master Ji, I have admired you for a long time."

The general manager of the arsenal, Ji Bochu, pointed around with a smile and introduced: "In this arsenal, there are all kinds of weapons, magic weapons, exercises, elixirs, and wish beads. I wonder what Master Shen needs?"

"I just entered this royal arsenal, and I don't know much about the situation here, but could you please introduce me to it." Shen Qing said politely.

"Of course." Ji Bochu, the general manager of the arsenal, introduced with a smile: "The royal arsenal here is divided into five floors. The first and second floors here contain all the popular martial arts in the world, as well as various kinds of powerful qi and blood, consolidating cultivation. For the elixirs. These elixirs are for the use of the Ji clan. Your Majesty allows you to enter and leave the royal arsenal freely, but you cannot take away the elixir equipment here. "

Shen Qing had already been mentally prepared for this, nodded and said, "I'll note it down."

"By the way, Sir, you just said that this royal arsenal has five floors? But I looked low from the outside, and it almost only has one floor. Why is that?"

"Is there a possibility that this royal arsenal is built underground?"

Shen Qing's face was startled, and he hadn't really thought about this yet.

The general manager of the arsenal, Ji Bochu, asked: "There are all these things on the first and second floors. Is there anything Mr. Shen wants to see?"

Shen Qing thought for a moment and glanced at the skills displayed on the ink panel.

These techniques were all obtained through his practice and breakthrough. Although many of them were martial arts, with the blessing of the ink panel, they were already different from what they were before, far exceeding ordinary martial arts.

Therefore, these so-called martial arts on the first floor have no appeal to him.

"What's on the third floor and the last few floors below?"

"The third floor contains the inherited martial arts of various sects in the world. Compared with the skills on the first and second floors, they are more advanced and more powerful. Some of the elixirs are obviously more advanced, targeting martial artists at the Qi Hai realm and above."

The old man's words were relaxed and carefree. He carried Shen Qing and the two of them between the bookshelves, looking calm and unhurried.

"The fourth and fifth floors are the same. They contain more advanced skills and high-quality elixirs. Many of the martial arts directly point to the unity realm, which is the supreme fairy method." Ji Bochu, the general manager of the armory, smiled and said, "More importantly, there is a spiritual eye on the fifth floor. One day of practice there is equivalent to ten days of practice outside."

Shen Qing was surprised.

He didn't expect that there was such a door on the fifth floor of the royal armory, and his heart suddenly became much more excited.

Ji Bochu, the general manager of the armory, turned around and said to Shen Qing, "Does Lord Shen plan to go directly to the third floor and the floors below to study, or to stroll around the first and second floors first?"

Shen Qing's eyes wandered between the bookshelves.

At present, he has reached the level of Lingxu Realm and wants to continue to break through to Yuanshen Realm.

According to common sense, with the ability of his ink panel, any low-level martial arts can continue to break through to the high level and benefit himself.

But in the same way, if it is a profound martial arts, it will save a lot of effort to use the ink panel.

As we all know, the more profound the martial arts, the easier it is to get started.

More importantly, there are more spiritual eyes on the fifth floor, which is very helpful for his cultivation.

However, Shen Qing did not decide immediately. He smiled lightly and said, "Chief Steward Ji, now I have reached the level of Lingxu Realm. In your opinion, which floor should I go to? Speaking of which, I still don’t know where Chief Steward Ji’s mansion is. His Majesty has rewarded me with 10,000 wish beads not long ago, and I am worried that there is nowhere to use them. Why don’t you help me share one or two?"

Ji Bochu was stunned and quickly reacted to the meaning of Shen Qing’s words.

He laughed and said, "Lord Shen is not from the Ji family. The magic weapons and elixirs in this arsenal are not for you. What you need most right now is a place to practice, and you need external objects to help you. The skills and the like are not that important. Lord Shen, please follow me to the fifth floor."

"Thank you, General Manager Ji."

"It's a small matter."

Ji Bochu led Shen Qing through a corner staircase and continued to walk down.

As they went deeper, the light became dimmer and the air was a bit hot.

On each floor, Shen Qing saw many young men, who must be descendants of the Ji family.

Occasionally, he also met some older martial artists wearing official uniforms. These people should be officials rewarded by the court like him.

Ji Bochu led Shen Qing all the way down and stepped into the bottom floor.

"Lord Shen, we are here."
