Chapter 18 Dinner at the Palace
Mu Chen came to the palace. He is now very popular with Zhou Qing. It can be said that he is kind to their family.
The hidden wounds in Zhou Qing's body have now been eliminated, but his declining cultivation has not recovered.
That incident back then has always been a demon that restrained him. Unless he can defeat that demon, Zhou Qing's cultivation will not be able to progress further in this life.
"You must be Mu Chen, Aunt Qin, thank you for the medicine." The beautiful woman in palace attire sitting next to Zhou Qing has a graceful temperament. As a queen, it is normal to have such a temperament, and she also has gratitude on her face.
Mu Chen nodded and accepted her thanks. Qin Yu did not show up last time, and her complexion looked quite healthy now, but he knew that this was only on the surface, and she still only had ten years left in her life. Right and left, the ancestral stone spirit liquid does not have the effect of replenishing longevity.
"My dear nephew, let's not talk about anything else. I would like to toast you a glass of wine." Zhou Qing poured himself a glass of wine and drank it down in one gulp.
"The royal wine has a different taste." Mu Chen took a sip and then took a sip. This was the first glass of wine he drank in this world.
Although Jade Brewing is a spirit, it has a different height than that distilled from grain brewing. It is entirely the quality of the source materials that creates this kind of spirit, and you can taste the taste of the material itself.
"If you like it, you can take some back later." Zhou Qing said nonchalantly.
"Then I'm welcome." Mu Chen nodded.
The delicacies on the table were basically source food. Only the food in front of Zhou Yuan was food that ordinary people could eat. Because he could not open his pulse, source food was too much for Zhou Yuan's body to bear.
In addition to containing pure source energy, the taste of source food is very delicious. Even the rice made from black crystal rice is softer, glutinous and sweeter than ordinary rice.
When you eat it, you can feel a pure source of energy entering the body and flowing towards the blockage of the second channel. It is really magical.
Generally, only the royal family and royal palaces can afford it, while commoners can only afford one or two meals at most.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, little mink, do you want to eat?" Mu Chen said in his heart, with a temptation.
"It's useless. It's not as helpful as the Beast Soul Crystal. I'm in the state of a demon spirit now. How could I eat such a thing?" Xiao Diao's rather speechless voice came. He is indeed not a human, but a god. Demonic ferret, but Mu Chen is a real dog.
Mu Chen smiled and teased Xiao Diao, which was his recently awakened hobby.
"Nephew, how many pulses have you opened now?" Zhou Qing asked casually.
"It will take some time for the second pulse to open." Mu Chen said.
He didn't feel the need to hide anything now. Those with a high level wouldn't care how many meridians a pulse-opening realm opened.
Zhou Qing nodded, looked at his son, and sighed slightly.
This is exactly what he thought. When he asked him for the Qi-Entraining Technique before, he probably didn't open his pulse, and it was only during this period that he opened his pulse.
He didn't know when Zhou Yuan would be able to manifest the eight meridians, which was also his heartache. If he couldn't practice, there would be no chance of survival, and the Resentful Dragon Poison would kill Zhou Yuan sooner or later.
Zhou Yuan clenched his fists. Knowing the grudge against the Wu family, he was more eager than ever to open his pulse, in order to find the source material to replenish his longevity, in order to settle the grudge and get back what belonged to him.
But after trying for so many years, the eight veins have never appeared. He has no choice but to put his hope in the source pattern. "Zhou Yuan's eight meridians have not appeared. Does Uncle Zhou have any solution?"
"I'm really looking forward to Zhou Yuan being able to open the pulse, so that he can be an opponent in the future, compete with each other, and promote the progress of both of us." Mu Chen said.
Having a confidant in life is enough to comfort Fengchen. As a friend, people like Zhou Yuan will not betray you, but you still have to be careful about cheating your teammates.
Zhou Yuan took a deep look at Mu Chen. If he could open his pulse and practice, he would really look forward to competing with Mu Chen. There would be no grudges, just a simple communication between friends.
Zhou Qing nodded happily. Yuan'er usually lived deep in the palace and didn't have many friends. He was happy to be able to make friends like Mu Chen.
"There is one last way, and that is the Great Zhou Ancestral Sacrifice in the near future. Yuan'er, you may be able to find a chance to open your veins there. As for whether you can succeed, it really depends on your luck, Yuan'er." Zhou Qing said slightly. sigh.
Zhou Yuan's eyes lit up, full of expectation, and he looked at Zhou Qing in surprise.
Mu Chen took all this in his eyes and cursed in his heart, you don't know if you can succeed, but don't I, the time traveler, know?
At that time, he will be able to worship a Double Lotus Saint as his teacher, and Cang Yuan will be the fourth Three Lotus Saint in the next five days in the future. The eldest brother is also a Saint. With this kind of opportunity, he even doubts whether Zhou Yuan still has a Saint in his body. The remnants of dragon luck remain.
No, it should be the aura of the protagonist. Without this aura, Zhou Yuan might not be able to survive the day when the python swallows the dragon.
"Uncle Zhou, I am an outsider here. You said it so directly, and I really don't care about outsiders." Mu Chen complained to Zhou Qing, he really didn't treat him as an outsider.
The ancestral land of Da Zhou, let alone the ancestral land of the royal family, even the ancestral land of ordinary people would not be known to outsiders, and only members of the royal family could enter.
Every time the ancestors are worshiped, the imperial guards led by Zhou Qing are on guard outside the ancestral land and are not qualified to enter it.
"Hahaha, I call you my nephew. We are all a family, so it won't hurt you if you know. Even I don't know whether it can succeed." Zhou Qing's face was bitter. If there was no other way, Then Zhou Qing would not place his hopes on the secret words handed down from his ancestors.
Before him, including his great Zhou emperors, they all tried in the ancestral land, but failed.
Zi's secret message was false, but it was also Zhou Yuan's last hope to open his pulse.
Zhou Yuan calmed down. There was great uncertainty in this method, but he had no choice but to take a gamble.
Mu Chen didn't think so much. He wouldn't be allowed to enter the Zhou family's ancestral land. After all, there were only a few people in the royal family who were qualified to perform ancestral sacrifices.
After Yaoyao is brought out by Zhou Yuan, there will be plenty of opportunities to get to know her, make her presence felt, and maybe get some good stuff for free.
After eating, Mu Chen left the palace and took away some food, leaving Zhou Qing and others stunned.
Zhou Qing naturally had no objections to packing or anything else. If he didn't finish the food, he would usually give it to the maids and soldiers to take back. People without a certain family background would not usually eat source food.
As an emperor, they have never seen anything before, but it is their first time to see an informal person like Mu Chen. However, they are not disgusted. Instead, they find him very straightforward.
