Heaven's Formula

Yu Linglong sized her up for a long time before asking, "You... have you felt any changes in yourself recently?"

"Changes?" Xin Tao pouted her chin and thought for a while, "It's not the same... I usually eat and sleep, and I eat after I sleep. By the way, is it a change if I eat more? I don't feel like eating a bowl recently. eat the same..."

"Yes, this is also one of the appearances." Yu Linglong murmured.

"Miss Linglong, is there anything wrong with Xintao?" Yu Shuangxue couldn't help but asked worriedly.

"No, she's in good health, except..."

"Just what?"

"She has become a person who senses Qi." Yu Linglong said slowly.

If it is said that the people who were found at the entrance of the school did not have much real sense, the shock of Xintao's case can be said to be quite strong.She has been in contact with Xintao many times, so she is naturally very aware of each other's situation - she was adopted by Wushuang Pavilion since she was a child, and now she is 14 years old. In the eyes of the Privy Council, she was not much different from the refugees on the side of the road.

Although there is a chance of awakening until adulthood, the fact is that the closer the age is to the upper limit, the lower the possibility of awakening.Like a genius disciple in an aristocratic family, she usually awakens at the age of five or six, and at the age of 14 she can basically tell that she does not have the ability to sense energy in her nature, so she is destined to be an ordinary person.

However, less than half a year after coming to Jinxia City, this familiar girl has already half-stepped the threshold of feeling, and she didn't even realize it. This discovery really made Yu Linglong's heart agitated.

Xintao's example also means that the series of changes that have taken place in Jinxia City are quite universal, regardless of the region or environment, even for people living in Shangyuan City, they are still effective!

Chapter 445 Yu Shuangxue's Wrath

"What did you say? Xintao is... a person who is sensitive?" Yu Shuangxue asked in surprise.

"Hey, really?" The little girl looked delighted, "Then I can also learn how to use alchemy like everyone else?"

Like everyone else... Yu Linglong caught the key word, which means that there are already many qi-sensing students among her classmates.

Although it was already confirmed that the awakening rate of these children was not low when selling candied haws, what he heard from Xintao was undoubtedly another confirmation.Yan Qing's judgment was not an illusion or misjudgment, but such an event did happen, and it was within the Jinxia Academy!The only thing that needs to be discussed is what is the key to induce the awakening of the new generation.

"Of course I won't lie to you." Yu Linglong suppressed the excitement in her heart, and replied with a light smile, "I heard that the school will also teach you the basics of qi? Have you tried feeling qi into your body?"

"That's an additional course, and generally only those who have awakened the ability to sense Qi will listen."

"So that's how it is." Yu Linglong was once again shocked by what Xia Fan and the others did - how big a heart must be to allow these seedlings to ponder the changes in their bodies?In a situation like Xintao's, it may take several days before she realizes that she is different from the past.And the sooner you learn to draw qi into your body, the sooner you can temper your body and step into the extraordinary. "If you want to learn how to entrain qi, I can teach you."

"I think!" Xin Tao said without hesitation.

"Then start practicing after eating."

"Oh!" The little girl seemed full of energy.

"When did this situation start?" Yu Linglong looked at Yu Shuangxue and asked.

"You mean... the awakening of the sense energy?" Seeing her nodding, Yu Shuangxue thought about it carefully, "I can't say the exact time, but it should have appeared after I came to Jinxia."

"What does the school teach?"

"Literacy, reading and writing, arithmetic, natural history, Gewu... and some principles of life. By the way, there are three or four physical training classes a week."

"Physical training means..."

"It's about exercising." Yu Shuangxue explained, "I usually do some interesting exercises in the square of the school, such as running, lining up, riding horses and other activities."

This training should not be the key.Yu Linglong judged, "What are natural history and Gewu?" As for reading, writing and calculation, the old families would also teach them in a unified way, but there has never been a situation like Jinxia.

"I'm learning these two courses myself. Generally speaking, it's about understanding the principles of the world and exploring the knowledge of self and true knowledge?" Yu Shuangxue put a cup of hot tea on the low table, "I heard that the textbooks are all written by Master Xia. If nothing else, at least it's fun to learn."

"Thank you." Yu Linglong picked up the tea and asked tentatively, "These textbooks... do you have them now?"

"Yes. It's on the desk next to the hall." The other party tied up his apron and walked towards the kitchen stove. "If you want to see it, please feel free. I'm sorry."

"It doesn't matter." Yu Linglong immediately came to the desk, pulled out the chair and sat down - she saw a few thin-covered books on the left hand side at a glance, and the top one was written with six large characters of "Introduction to Elementary Gewu".

The shadow appeared at the right time, "Do you think this thing will be the key to awakening? It's just a book, there is no such cheap thing in the world."

"What if it records the path of awakening? After all, those fairy arts are just a secret record."

With indescribably complicated emotions, Yu Linglong turned to the first page of the book.

She had thought that she would see incomprehensible words, or distorted cipher texts similar to the Yongwang period, but the first thing that caught her eyes was an interesting little story.

The following content is also similar. If you ignore the arithmetic formulas below the story, she doesn't have too many obstacles in reading it. She just thinks that her viewpoint is quite novel, which makes people feel refreshed.On both sides of the book, she could also see notes in beautiful handwriting, apparently handwritten by Yu Shuangxue while reading through.

It took a while for Yu Linglong to realize that this is a book for eight or nine-year-old children.Wanting to find the secret of awakening in it is an unrealistic delusion.

She smiled wryly and closed the book.

"Forget it, let's go directly to Xia Fan."

"What are you talking about? Directly assassinate the enemy's Nine Heavens Thunder Envoy?" Shadow almost shouted in her ear, "Then it's better to go back and deal with the Qingjian traitor! This is Jinxia City, even if you got the opponent's head level, it is impossible to return to Shangyuan City safe and sound!"

"Who said I'm going to assassinate him." Yu Linglong rolled her eyes at Shadow, "I just want to have a good talk with him."

"Talk about what?"

"Let's talk about taking over the Privy Council and becoming the new Seven Star Envoy."

Shadow gasped, "You——finally made up your mind to be a traitor!?"

"Do you still remember our purpose of joining the core of the Privy Council?" Yu Linglong suddenly slowed down her speech, and her expression became extremely serious, "The Qiguo court is an obstacle, so we set up another authority; the alchemy family prevents the power from being concentrated, so we Ban it. If there is a place that can better achieve the purpose now, and you still stick to the same old style, then you are really betraying, and you are not betraying others, but yourself.”

Shadow stared at her for a long time, "Your idea is too ideal."

"But I can't just sit back and watch myself become the obstacle I wanted to get rid of in the past." Yu Linglong spread her hands, "Let everyone have the opportunity to become an aura-sensing person, do you know what that means? Let alone a hundred years, even ten years The world in the future may change drastically because of this! I believe that Yan Qing said that because of seeing this point."

"Miss Yu, I'm sorry to bother you." At this moment, the door was pushed open, and another woman walked into the room.

"Miss Ao? Sit down first, we have to wait for a while for dinner." Yu Shuangxue's greeting came from the kitchen. "By the way, there are new guests today, and I will introduce them to you later."

At this moment, Yu Linglong turned her head, and the two looked at each other!

"It's you!" Olina Okan instantly recognized the other party's identity—she had seen this person during the encirclement and suppression battle of Lubu, and the high-level alchemist of the Privy Council was not only Xia Fan's enemy, but also Xia Fan. her enemy!

"Wait, I didn't come—" Yu Linglong also realized that she was about to suffer, and before she could declare her intention, she saw a crimson flame shooting directly at her!

"Counterattack, kill the Xiji ambassador!" Shadow drew his bow and shot three arrows in a row, forcing back the dragon girl who wanted to fight in close quarters.Seeing that the latter missed a blow, the second dragon's breath was ready to go.

"What are you doing!?" Yu Shuangxue, who heard the movement, rushed between the two and shouted angrily, "Stop!"

Both Yu Linglong and Olina stopped the attack immediately, and reminded in unison, "—Be careful!"

After finishing speaking, the two of them were stunned by coincidence, and stood in a stalemate on guard against each other.

However, the place sprayed by the dragon's breath has turned into a scorched gap, and the desk is even more burning.

"No, my home..." Yu Shuangxue felt chest tightness and shortness of breath, she turned around slowly, and glanced at the two of them with a frosty face, "Look—what did you all do?"

One person and one dragon suddenly shuddered.

They seemed to see the abyss in each other's eyes.

4Chapter 16 First contact

……

That night, the security in Fengyang Villa was heavily guarded, and the parlor was the focus of prevention.

The guards on the inner three floors and the outer three floors surrounded the lobby completely, and Ning Wanjun's side was even more elite. Luo Qingqing, Chi, and Qianyan were lined up at one end of the long table, while the other side of the table was only sitting. There is only one person, that is "Sheying" Yu Linglong.

Facing such a situation, even she swallowed her saliva.

"I'm just a guard, so there's no need to guard like this?" Yu Linglong looked at everyone in turn, feeling a little uneasy.Although she has made a decision, she still feels uneasy when faced with such a situation beyond her control.

"It's too late to say anything now." Shadow said angrily, "As long as the princess doesn't like this, you can wait to spend the rest of your life in prison."

The fire in the residential area was quickly extinguished, and Yu Linglong's identity was also exposed. She simply announced her purpose and asked Olina to report to her superiors, hoping to have a direct dialogue with the princess.But Jinxia's high-level executives reacted faster than she expected, and immediately asked Longnu to take her to the villa.As soon as Yu Linglong landed, she was surrounded by layers of guards, and "please" entered the living room surrounded by crowds.

"Sorry, I'm late." At this moment, a familiar voice sounded, Xia Fan opened the door and entered, and sat down in front of an empty chair beside the princess.

"It's okay," Ning Wanjun shrugged, "It's just a special situation."

"So it's you." Seeing Yu Linglong on the opposite side, Xia Fan was slightly surprised, but soon nodded with a smile, "We meet again."

For some reason, Yu Linglong felt a sense of relaxation, and the uneasiness in her heart also disappeared a lot.

Among these people, the only one she was familiar with was Xia Fan.

"Since everyone is here, we can start." Ning Wanjun spoke first, "To be honest, I didn't expect the Privy Council to send someone to contact Jinxia City on its own initiative, and the envoy is a guard-level alchemist. Miss Yu, Do you have any news to convey?"

"His Royal Highness, I would like to greet you." She bowed her head slightly to show her respect - any big action on such an occasion may cause unnecessary tension, so she only adopted the most basic etiquette.After all, it was the greatest respect for the other party not to put shackles and anklets on her.

"First of all, I have to clarify that the Privy Council didn't send me here. I came here alone by taking the opportunity to go out on a mission."

Yu Linglong's words caused a burst of discussion in the auditorium.

This means she is not a messenger.

Naturally, Jinxia City did not have to treat her according to the same set of regulations for envoys.

"Why?" Ning Wanjun asked with interest.

"The battle between the Privy Council and Jinxia is imminent. Once the conflict breaks out, it will definitely be a deadly situation." Yu Linglong replied frankly, "I met Xia Fucheng once in Shangyuan City, and I don't think he is the kind of person who is simply greedy for beauty. The younger generation would put righteousness behind personal desires, so I wanted to come and see for myself what is so special about Jinxia City. In Anshen City, I happened to meet Senior Yan again, and it was her opinion that made me I have an idea to contact you."

Then she explained the purpose of the Privy Council, as well as what she had seen and heard.

"So that's what happened." Ning Wanjun pondered for a moment, "But why did the Privy Council think that Xia Fan's refusal of them was related to greed for beauty? Is his reputation so bad?"

"You don't know?" Yu Linglong glanced at Xia Fan, "The brothel was the place he visited the most in Shangyuan City. And... Her Royal Highness is also a woman."

"Pfft——" Ning Wanjun almost spit out the tea in his mouth, "You think Xia Fan is trying to get along with me—" She was a little stuck when she said this, "This is obviously a non-existent thing!"

"Indeed." Yu Linglong spread out her hands, "But as long as justice is taken into account, I don't think it's a bad thing to be greedy for beauty."

"Like you?" Shadow sneered.

The answer to him was a punch.

"Uh... there was an annoying flying insect just now." Looking at the people who suddenly raised their vigilance, Yu Linglong sneered.

"Okay, that's not the point." The third princess coughed twice, "First of all, I can answer you with certainty that the awakening rate of people who are sensitive to Jinxia's Qi is indeed much higher than the normal line. Two thousand people of the same age were compared with the students in the school, and the conclusion is that the awakening rate of the latter is close to a hundred times that of the former."

"May I ask the specific reason?" Yu Linglong subconsciously asked.

"At present, I can only think that it is related to the teaching. More reference experiments are still in progress, so I can't tell you the exact reason." Obviously, Ning Wanjun would not let the other party keep asking questions, she went straight to the point, "Listen to what you mean , as long as you can achieve the goal of defending the enemy from the outside and strengthening the alchemist from the inside, it doesn't seem to care which side you work for?"

"Returning to Your Highness, to be precise, it is the core members of the Privy Council who are willing to serve in an organization that can achieve this goal. It's just that only the Seven Star Privy Council was able to do this before."

"That is to say, once you bring this news back to Shangyuan, the upcoming conflict will no longer exist, and those alchemists who hold power will also become Jinxia's allies?" Ning Wanjun's tone was deeply suspicious, "If others don't talk about it, my second brother alone won't be so obedient. Anyway, I can't imagine that he would be willing to bow his head to me."

"This..." Yu Linglong was momentarily at a loss for words, "Perhaps there was some misunderstanding between you and him, but he has been working hard for this goal for ten years."

"However, when you came to talk to Her Majesty the Princess, you probably expected that there might be twists and turns in the matter, right?" Xia Fan said suddenly, "Otherwise, it would be safer and more reasonable to report to the princess first, and then have a formal meeting after confirmation."

"You're right." Yu Linglong sighed, "I heard from Senior Yan that Fei Nian used tricks similar to evil spirits when fighting you. The main purpose of the Privy Council is to completely eliminate evil spirits. Therefore, it is absolutely impossible to be self-confident in this kind of matter. It can only be concluded that there are foreign forces infiltrating the high-level. Besides Fei Nian, are there any more people involved, so it is too risky to pass this news by secret letter, and I must bring it back to Shangyuan City myself."

"Since you can't tell the difference between us and the enemy, what are you going to do?"

"There are some people in the mansion who can be trusted, such as Yuyigan." Yu Linglong told the truth about her plan, "With the influence of senior Qian, it will definitely deter those hidden traitors and summon those who have not been affected to come here. In the final analysis, the Privy Council is composed of alchemists. As long as the core alchemists are willing to let go of their prejudices and accept the facts, this war will disappear, and you, Your Highness the Princess—” She looked at Ning Wanjun, “will also become a new Seven Star Envoy."

4Chapter 17 The Inevitable Conquest

Shangyuan City, the Imperial Palace.

Compared with the Hall of Supreme Harmony, which symbolizes the center of power, Ning Qianshi still prefers to stay in the greenhouse by the square to handle government affairs.Through the glazed windows, one can have a panoramic view of the red-tiled hall, the white jade square, and the high palace walls—if it was just a psychological symbol before, giving him the feeling of looking at the whole situation, then now it seems to be a fact.

As long as he hooks his fingers, he can immediately know the big and small things happening in the palace.

"How is brother doing recently?" Ning Qianshi flipped through the information gathered by the recording department, and casually asked Dong Mao, who was in charge of the recording department—since the imperial court was replaced, all the government's intelligence agencies had been handed over to Dong Bairen. hands.

"Returning to Your Highness, he has performed the role of emperor very well." The latter replied succinctly.

"Really?" Ning Qianshi smiled, "I'm still worried that he will be devastated. Since he is willing to cooperate with this scene, it is naturally the best result."

The imperial court still exists, and the six ministries have not been dismantled, but from the Gyeonggi generals to the local chief officials, they have been gradually replaced by personnel trained by the Privy Council. Those ministers still seem to be sitting in their original positions, but there is nothing under them. one slice.

It is this kind of near-calm transfer of power that can minimize the price paid by the Privy Council.

"People who are passionate about power, even if they know it's a drama, they will probably be immersed in it." Dong Mao said with emotion.

Ning Qianshi put down the booklet in his hand and looked up at Dong Mao.

The officer in the recording department was startled, and quickly leaned over and cupped his hands and said, "Your official made a slip of the tongue."

"No, what you said is very reasonable, but Ning Wei is far from a person who is only satisfied with this little power. If you feel contemptuous of him because of this, there may be omissions in the surveillance."

"The officer understands."

"Is there anything else that needs to be reported specifically?"

Dong Mao considered carefully, "The Supreme Emperor... has been going out very frequently recently."

"Father?" Ning Qianshi raised his eyebrows, "Where did he go?"

"Xiyuan cemetery. It's next to the royal cemetery."

Ning Qianshi frowned slightly, and wanted to say something, but he couldn't say it in the end, "Forget it, let him go. There is no need to report this matter to me in the future."
