Can ninth-grade sword energy defend against seventh-grade attacks from a distance?
Chen Yanjun was doubtful.
"Why do you have to flick your nose to use sword energy?"
Murong Yexiao took a sip of wine and said nothing.
On the side, Qiu Zhao pinched Chen Yanjun's arm.
"Idiot, this is the Protective Pill Sword Qi. If you hadn't input it through your nose with your fingertips, you, a mortal, would have died!"
Chen Yanjun was shocked, and then he cupped his hands and thanked her.
"Thank you, Senior Murong!"
Immediately he asked again:
"Since the senior is so powerful, why did the previous deputy die?"
Murong Ye said:
"She did something outrageous and she's not dead yet."
When Chen Yanjun heard this, he and Qiu Zhuo looked at each other.
Saying this, Murong Ye looked at Chen Yanjun again and said:
"I think you have a good physique and can reach the highest level within three days. If something unexpected happens during the pass, you can try to practice double cultivation with your sister, or you can reach the upper level. This sword energy can protect you from death, and you will only suffer a few injuries at most."
Double cultivation with my sister...you are really a master at assisting!
Wait, something suddenly went wrong with Chen Yanjun.
Your protective elixir sword energy can defend against all attacks below the sixth level within three days. Why can you and your wife only guarantee immortality by practicing double cultivation? You may also be injured...
Could it be that there is something special about Madam’s physique?
Chen Yanjun didn't feel comfortable asking about private matters, so he held up his hands and said:
"I'll lend you some good words!"
On the side, Qiu Zhuo waited for a long time. Seeing that her aunt's attention was all on Chen Yanjun and that she was never the client, she felt a little disappointed, so she introduced herself:
"Auntie, what about me? I don't need to go back to discuss with my mother. I can join the Prison Suppression Department today, and I can go out of the city with my aunt to investigate strange beasts every day."
Murong Ye wiped the wine from his lips, touched Qiu Zhuo's delicate head, and said seriously:
"Well, your beast control skills are also very important to the Prison Secretary."
"But you are extremely talented. You are a rare psychic holy body. You can easily become a piece of fat in the mouths of strange beasts. You must practice at least to the fifth level. Once you have the power to protect yourself, I will take you with me."
Qiuzao:
"..."
Murong Ye sipped the wine carefully and patted his niece on the shoulder to encourage her:
"Don't be discouraged, you are the treasure of the Tang Dynasty, practice hard!"
Qiu Zhuo then cheered up and made up his mind:
"Well, I will work hard and reach the fifth level within three years!"
Chen Yanjun was shocked.
Qiu Zhuo is actually a psychic holy body...could it be said that Gu Bie really went to Qiu Zhuo that day?
No wonder even the prince is interested in Qiu Zhuo!
Perhaps, he underestimated his wife and his future daughter.
Chen Yanjun turned around to leave, but was suddenly stopped by the sister-in-law again.
"I suddenly realized that you are very handsome, brother-in-law, and it almost covered up the more handsome parts of your body."
Chen Yanjun's heart tightened... Is there anything more handsome about me than my face?
Murong Ye raised his head and took a swig, the sword energy rolling in his eyes, exuding a turbid aroma that penetrated his bones, like the smell of wine drenched in grain rain.
"In troubled times, beauty is fleeting. If you don't catch it, it will be someone else's."
Beauty is fleeting...
Chen Yanjun thought to himself that the beauty my sister-in-law mentioned was obviously not a beautiful woman, but something rare that did not exist in peaceful times.
Of course, maybe she is being mysterious.
But for some reason, Chen Yanjun was convinced that troubled times were coming.
In this world, Anlu Mountain is not dead yet, Huang Chao is gathering strength, not to mention, various strange beasts from the mountains and seas have been discovered...
It’s already a miracle that the Tang Dynasty has persisted until now and hasn’t collapsed!
"Don't worry, no matter the troubled times or the end of the world, my beauty will be with me for the rest of my life."
After that, Chen Yanjun and Qiu Zhuo left the building together.
Watching the two people leave, the kind-faced old man helplessly asked Murong Ye:
"The situation is serious now. Do you really want to take a mortal with you? It will be very tiring to protect a mortal."
Murong Ye put away the wine bottle, hung it on the hilt of his sword, raised his hand and left the building, laughing and saying:
"How can a true beauty be kept in a boudoir?"
…
On the way back, Chen Yanjun and Qiu Zhuo rode horses and walked back to Daozhengfang on the east side of the outer city.
Horses were the daily means of transportation for the Tang people.
The horses the two of them rode were not extraordinary, but green and autumn horses bred by Qiuzao. They had aqua-green fur and a slim and powerful body. They were the result of directional breeding at the Royal Beast Academy.
"What does aunt mean by beauty?"
Qiu Zhuo asked curiously.
Chen Yanjun said casually:
"It's probably the kind of thing that is cherished even in troubled times, such as...your psychic holy body."
Qiu Zhuo only said:
"I don't know what the Holy Spirit Channeling Body is, maybe my aunt is just talking nonsense."
Chen Yanjun felt that there was no need for Murong Ye to be so panicked, as her vision was indeed much beyond that of ordinary people.
"My premonition about the troubled times is not good. We need to speed up our practice."
Qiu Zhuo frowned. She often said such words in her aunt's mouth, always thinking it was her shield.
"Have you decided to go to the Prison Department?"
Chen Yanjun shook his head.
"It's too early to say this now, but if that is my destined practice, I will not back down."
The wife raised him for three years without asking for anything in return. Even if troubled times were coming, he must protect this family.
Qiuzao thought for a while and asked:
"It's like practicing in a demonic fantasy world?"
Chen Yanjun nodded.
"It's like practicing in a magical world."
…
Return to Cui Mansion.
The family meeting has ended early.
The clan had dispersed and they didn't even bother to eat, but they still handed out some red envelopes from house to house.
When the women and maids in the tribe saw Chen Yanjun, they all lowered their heads and smiled, saying softly:
"Uncle."
Returning to Cui Mansion, Qiu Zhuo suddenly realized that all his attention had been focused on his aunt just now, and he had actually ignored Chen Yanjun's feat!
In the blink of an eye, his medical skills and swordsmanship have reached a level that is difficult for cultivators to reach.
If this were of high quality, wouldn't it be... the beauty in my aunt's mouth couldn't be him, right?
Chen Yanjun and Qiu Zhuo went to their father-in-law's house.
After asking, I found out that the lady had already returned to Nanxianfang.
Qingchuan said that he was going to Pingkangfang on the way and wanted to bring his talents of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting to Jiaofangsi.
Everyone's expectation for him is probably to live a happy life.
When he saw Chen Yanjun again, Li Lanxiang's eyes looked different. This time, he really looked more and more handsome.
With a soft face, she held Chen Yanjun's hand.
"Yourong really chose the right person this time. Good health is the most important thing. My son-in-law was so relieved today that he made the eldest lady and Qian Anzhi doubt the whole world!"
It was rare for my father-in-law to stand up with a fight and said:
"You haven't eaten yet? You'll stay here at noon. Your mother-in-law and I have a lot to talk to you."
Chen Yanjun respectfully declined:
"Thank you for your kindness!"
"Right now, Yan Jun has to go back to Cui's house to pass the test. He will be inducted someday. I will invite the two elders to get together at Nanxianfang."
…
After leaving his grandpa's house, Qiu Zhuo originally planned to go back to the Imperial College to take classes. Hearing that Chen Yanjun was going to pass the exam tomorrow, he also went back to help prepare.
The two of them rode out of Cui Mansion, crossed several lanes, and headed south along Zhuque Street.
Along the way, Chen Yanjun tested the strength of Murong Yehudan's sword energy many times.
Not to mention self-mutilation, he couldn't even bite his own finger...
Qiu Zhuo shook his head and immediately drew his sword. The tip of the sword grazed his temple hair without cutting off any hair.
"You are such a fool!"
Chen Yanjun was shocked and speechless.
The two soon returned to Cui's house in the southern section of Nanxianfang.
From the medicine shop, we entered the backyard and came to the bamboo forest in the middle of the main house.
By the marrow-washing spring.
Madam and Xiaoyue are preparing medicine for Chen Yanjun's breakthrough, preparing magic circles, spiritual stones, and new springs.
Seeing that Chen Yanjun was back, Xiao Yue excitedly held his hand.
"I heard that the young master is in the limelight today!"
Chen Yanjun touched her head.
"Thanks to Madam and Xiaoyue for always supporting me silently behind the scenes!"
Although Cui Yourong had expectations for Chen Yanjun, he did not expect that he would be able to achieve this level today.
"Why are you back so soon?"
Qiuzao was somewhat disappointed and complained:
"Gu Sui was not caught at all. My aunt said that she would have to take Chen Yanjun to catch him in order to catch him!"
Chen Yanjun shook his head and smiled, then asked his wife about Murong Ye.
"My sister, Madam, has a little bit of a personality that I can't figure out. I don't know..."
The lady said seriously:
"Xiao Ye is usually a bit messy, but her intuition has always been very accurate. What she said might happen will usually happen sooner than she said."
Qiu Zhuo suddenly remembered and said with a dull expression:
"My aunt said that Chen Yanjun will be ready to enter the imperial examination within three days."
When the lady heard this, the boulder in her heart dropped, and she raised her hand to wipe the fine sweat on her forehead.
"Then at midnight tonight, the young master will be able to enter the imperial examination."
Chen Yanjun smiled and shook his head.
"Do you believe this kind of thing?"
Madam suddenly opened her eyes and stared at him, her clear eyes like still water in a pond.
"Master, do you believe me?"
"believe."
"I watched her grow up when I was a child. If you believe in me, you can believe in Xiaoye."
Chen Yanjun was a little surprised and inexplicably excited when he saw that his wife didn't seem to be joking.
Could it be said that my sister-in-law can really keep him safe within one mile?
In troubled times, will there really be beauties that are not available in this world?
While he was thinking about it, he heard his wife urging him:
"Young master, go back to your room to prepare first. Tonight, at midnight, you will go through the pass in the marrow-washing spring. We will talk about the rest after finishing the ceremony."
"Thank you, madam."
Chen Yanjun nodded, turned around and left, returning to the backyard.
He raised his head to observe the sky at night... Something good might happen tonight!
Watching Chen Yanjun leave the bamboo forest, Cui Yourong ordered Qiu Zhuo:
"It's just a good time that you're back. You and I will be by the pool tonight to protect the young master."
Qiu Zhuo's clear eyes gleamed slightly, feeling a little ashamed, so she pretended to be cool and said:
"My aunt said that if something goes wrong when Chen Yanjun rushes through the barrier, my mother can help him with dual cultivation, or he may succeed... With my aunt's protective elixir sword energy, I don't have to worry about my own physical condition. Chen Yanjun will only be slightly injured at most."
Xiaoyue's ears felt hot, she covered her mouth and laughed.
Qiu Zhuo said coldly and with ill intentions:
"Do you still want me to protect you?"
Cui Yourong's face turned as red as a cherry blossom, and her clear eyes were as solemn as the moon.
