Changsheng: I have been in Jiaofang Division for thousands of years

"In that case, it's time for me to think of a way to further promote the development of martial arts in the Great Jin Dynasty."

"I hope that the era of the coexistence of the ten great heavens and humans will come sooner, and that immortal cultivator will come back to accept disciples sooner."

Zhao Mu thought thoughtfully.

Chapter 96 The Ungrown Spiritual Root

Zhao Mu left Dao Heart Valley after the Acquired Spirit Root was completely stabilized.

When they arrived in the capital, it was early in the morning, and a court meeting was going on in the main hall of the imperial palace.

Zhao Mu entered the palace without a sound, and stood on the roof of the political hall, no one could notice him.

Sima Hongyi sat listlessly on the dragon chair.

The courtiers didn't bother to talk to him, they just discussed state affairs with Zhou Yuniang who was listening behind the curtain.

"Empress, the martial arts halls in the major cities have basically been completed, and the martial arts cheats collected from many martial arts sects and powerful families have also been copied in batches and sent to each martial arts hall."

Zuo Xiangqi said: "However, the secret books we collected this time all come from small and medium schools and families, and the quality of the secret books is at best no more than top-notch. There are no top-level martial arts secret books."

"Hehe, it seems that some people are still dissatisfied with this national policy of the palace."

Zhou Yuniang said in a calm tone: "Master Zuo, send someone to negotiate with them again, and tell them that my palace promotes the development of martial arts, which is good for everyone. I hope they will cooperate well, otherwise, they should know the consequences."

"Yes, I obey the order." Prime Minister Zuo stepped back.

"Anything else?"

"Queen Qi, yesterday the East Sea Cloud City sent a report. It is said that half a month ago, someone in Shuiyun City saw a dragon appearing on the surface of the East Sea, and the momentum was shocking."

The Minister of Rites came out and said.

"Flood Dragon?"

The ministers looked at each other.

Over the years, people from all over the Jin Dynasty often reported auspicious or bad omens.

Everyone also knows that those are basically fake, but some people with ulterior motives who want to get benefits from the court.

But East Sea Cloud City is a little sensitive.

After all, in history, immortal cultivators appeared in that place.

Even the immortal cultivator once promised to come back to accept disciples.

Therefore, the ministers had to be more cautious about the report of Donghai Cloud City.

"My dear friends, what do you think about the Jiaolong matter?"

Zhou Yuniang asked in a steady voice.

The officials looked at each other, and in the end Prime Minister Zuo stood up: "Empress, East Sea Cloud City is special after all, the imperial court might as well send officials to verify it, to see if there really is a dragon there?"

"Okay, let's look at the arrangements for this matter."

Zhou Yuniang agreed.

After a long time, the court meeting ended.

Surrounded by a group of court ladies and eunuchs, Zhou Yuniang and Sima Hongyi returned to the imperial study.

Waved everyone out.

Zhou Yuniang sat at the desk: "Come here, I'll take your pulse."

"Yes."

Sima Hongyi walked over obediently and held out his hand.

Zhou Yuniang felt her pulse, and her brows gradually frowned: "It's strange, I should have cured you of your illness back then, but why did you start committing it again recently? Did you do something behind my back?"

"Queen, you think too much, I obey you, how could I do anything behind your back?"

"to be frank!"

"Queen, this is the truth."

Zhou Yuniang looked pensive.

Indeed, under the influence of Puppet Pill, it is indeed impossible for Sima Hongyi to hide anything from her.

She was also convinced that Sima Hongyi was not poisoned.

But why does the other party's body suddenly have problems?

"It's a pity that the master has passed away. Otherwise, with the master's medical skills, maybe we can still see something."

Zhou Yuniang was a little helpless.

"Master is not here, isn't there still a younger brother?"

Suddenly with a chuckle, Zhao Mu came out from the back room.

"Brother Chu, when did you come?"

Zhou Yuniang stood up quickly, her pretty face was full of joy.

"I came here just now during the Great Court Meeting. I saw that you were discussing politics, so I came to the Imperial Study Room to wait for you."

Zhao Mu walked over with a smile, and said to Sima Hongyi, "Come on, let me take your pulse and see what's wrong with you?"

Sima Hongyi was indifferent, but stared at Zhao Mu with unfriendly eyes.

It felt like my daughter-in-law had cheated.

"Sima Hongyi, ask my junior brother to feel your pulse," Zhou Yuniang ordered.

"Yes!"

Sima Hongyi couldn't resist, so he could only stretch out his hand.

Zhao Mu concentrated on his pulse, and after a while, he mobilized his true energy and injected it into Sima Hongyi's body to check.

His frown became tighter and tighter, as if he had discovered something strange.

"What's the matter, Junior Brother, what did you see?" Zhou Yuniang asked suspiciously.

Zhao Mu remained silent and did not answer, but was very surprised in his heart.

Because he found that Sima Hongyi's flesh and blood had grown countless tender shoots.

Zhao Mu is too familiar with these buds, they are the initial stage of forming the acquired spiritual root, very similar to the situation when he opened the sixth heaven gate.

But the difference is that after the buds in Zhao Mu's body grow out, they quickly grow into a complete Acquired Spiritual Root, and the period is just a stick of incense.

But these buds in Sima Hongyi's body seem to have grown for several years, maybe even ten years.

And so far, the shoots have stopped growing.

As for Sima Hongyi's physical problems, it is also related to the buds of the acquired spiritual root.

The condensation of the Acquired Spiritual Root not only absorbs the spiritual energy of the heavens and the earth, but also absorbs a large amount of various "nutrients" from the human body, such as true energy, vital energy, and so on.

In other words, if you want to condense the acquired spiritual root, you must first be able to bear it yourself.

It is Zhao Mu's third life since he practiced.

He opened the six heavenly gates step by step, strengthening his physical body and mind time after time, and even stepped into the realm of heaven and man ahead of schedule.

If the body is compared to a field, then Zhao Mu has already cultivated his own field into an incomparably fertile and high-quality field.

It is also because of this that he is able to grow acquired spiritual roots, a good crop that is not necessarily available to one in a million people.

But Sima Hongyi was too far behind.

Sima Hongyi does not have the fruit of reincarnation, so he cannot accumulate it over a long period of time like Zhao Mu.

And his own cultivation aptitude is not very good, even today, he is only a martial artist in the acquired extreme state.

Such a physical condition, how could it be possible to bear it, the growth of the acquired spiritual root.

Even he himself had problems because of this.

Zhao Mu reckoned that Sima Hongyi might not have a long life.

But what was strange to him was, how did the buds of spiritual roots in Sima Hongyi's body grow out?

Seeing that Zhao Mu didn't speak for a long time, Zhou Yuniang asked again: "Junior brother, what did you see, tell me quickly?"

Zhao Mu took a deep breath and asked, "Senior Sister, have you heard of Linggen?"

"I saw it in some records, it seems to be the root of stepping into the immortal way, what's wrong?"

Zhou Yuniang was puzzled.

"That's it..."

Zhao Mu pondered for a moment, then briefly introduced Sima Hongyi's physical condition.

Finally he asked: "Senior Sister, has Sima Hongyi practiced any special skills over the years, or has he taken any special elixir?"

Chapter 97 Returning to Shuiyun City

Special skills and elixir?

Zhou Yuniang looked at Sima Hongyi: "Is there any?"

Sima Hongyi shook his head: "I have always practiced the royal family's exercises, let alone special elixir."

Then how did he grow spiritual roots?

Acquired spiritual roots will never grow out of nowhere.

There must be a reason.

Zhao Mu was full of doubts, and felt faintly, as if he had touched some big secret?

But from Sima Hongyi's point of view, I'm afraid I can't find the answer, and the secret can only be found in the future when I have time.

Zhao Mu temporarily put aside Sima Hongyi's affairs, and turned his head to look at Zhou Yuniang: "Hehe, congratulations, senior sister, you have stepped into the realm of martial saints, it seems that senior sister is hopeful."

"And I can feel that the aura on Senior Sister's body has changed a lot, but what new skills have you practiced?"

"I have indeed cultivated. Didn't I tell you in the early years that I comprehended a technique from the Unnamed Taoism, but it was not perfect at the beginning."

"However, a few years ago when the Second Saint came to court, I was sitting in the court hall that day, watching the courtiers bowing down, suddenly my mood changed greatly, and from this I finally created my own kung fu "Nvji" Overlord's Tactics."

Zhou Yuniang explained: "This "Nvji Bahuang Jue" is different from the usual martial arts skills. Other martial arts skills basically require practitioners to concentrate on martial arts, and even practice in seclusion."

"But "The Queen's Art of the Female Pole" is different. I practice this exercise, but I have to hone it in the world of mortals, and I also need to hold power. The more power I have, the faster my cultivation will improve."

"Back then, the sword idiot was sincere about the sword, so he created the "World-Shocking Sword Code", and I was enthroned as emperor with all my heart, and I valued power very much, so I created "The Queen's Art of Female Extreme Overlord"?"

"Junior Brother, do you think that to comprehend the cultivation method from the Unnamed Taoism, do you have to be extremely persistent in something?"

"Is this the way of sincerity, no matter what you are sincere about?"

Zhou Yuniang obviously had this question for a long time.

But her guess should be right.

The exercises that anyone comprehends from the Unnamed Taoism should be related to their own state of mind.

Jian Chi's sincerity lies in the sword!

Zhou Yuniang's determination to become emperor!

And Zhao Mu himself.

He wholeheartedly pursued the immortal way, and he didn't care about the passage of time, so he was able to create such weird skills as the "Dream Heart Sutra", which lasted for ten years in one dream.

If this exercise is replaced by ordinary people, I am afraid that after a few sleeps, a lifetime will be over.

In recent years, Zhao Mu has become more and more aware of the unfathomable mystery of the Unknown Taoism.

He felt that the Unnamed Dao Sutra was definitely not an ordinary scripture.

I really want to see that immortal cultivator again sooner, so that I can clear up all the doubts in my heart.

"correct."
