Tiannan Domain, the world's general hall.
Shang Xiuxun sat cross-legged in the training room, with a faint layer of inspiration shrouded in his body.
Her aura was much stronger than before, and there was a sense of heroic spirit between her eyebrows and eyes. It was obvious that her cultivation had a great breakthrough.
"The tenth level of Qi Refining Stage... has finally broken through."
Shang Xiuxun muttered to himself in a low voice, with a hint of joy in his voice.
She slowly opened her eyes, felt the surging spiritual power in her body, and her heart was filled with a sense of accomplishment.
The tenth level of the Qi Refining Stage is the peak state of the Qi Refining Stage, only one step away from the Foundation Establishment Stage.
Not only that, her body has also been greatly strengthened, and her meridians, bones, and flesh seem to have been reshaped, full of infinite power.
"If Your Majesty knew, you would definitely be very happy, right?" Shang Xiuxun whispered, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
However, at this moment, she suddenly felt a sensation of discomfort, and her stomach surging, as if something was stirring. She frowned slightly, feeling a little uneasy in her heart.
"What's going on?"
Shang Xiuxun muttered to himself in a low voice, then raised his hand to put it on his pulse.
After a moment, her face changed slightly, and a trace of complex emotions flashed in her eyes.
"I... am pregnant?" Shang Xiuxun murmured in a low voice, with a hint of disbelief in his voice.
She gently stroked her abdomen, and an indescribable feeling surged in her heart. This child is the crystallization of her and His Majesty Qin Shuang, and the most precious gift in her life.
A few days later, Qin Shuang sat cross-legged in the hall to practice.
At this time, his spiritual sense moved and looked outside.
Outside the hall.
A slim woman walked slowly over.
It was Shang Xiuxun.
"Your Majesty." Shang Xiuxun's voice came from behind, with a hint of gentleness.
Qin Shuang turned around and saw Shang Xiuxun standing not far away, her eyebrows and eyes were like picturesque, and her body emitted a faint light of inspiration. A trace of gentleness flashed in his eyes and he whispered, "Xiuxun, has your cultivation level been broken?"
Shang Xiuxun nodded and whispered, "I have already broken through to the tenth level of Qi Refining Stage."
Qin Shuang smiled slightly, her eyes full of praise: "Very good, your talent is indeed extraordinary."
Shang Xiuxun looked at Qin Shuang, and a trace of complex emotions flashed in his eyes. She whispered, "Your Majesty, I have another good news to tell you."
Qin Shuang heard this and asked. "What good news?"
Shang Xiuxun took a deep breath and whispered, "I... have it."
When Qin Shuang heard this, a trace of surprise flashed in her eyes, and then she turned into joy. He quickly walked forward, gently held Shang Xiuxun's hand, and whispered: "Really?"
Shang Xiuxun nodded, a hint of shyness flashed in his eyes: "It's true."
Qin Shuang's eyes were full of gentleness and she whispered: "Xiuxun, this is our common good news."
Shang Xiuxun smiled slightly, and tenderness appeared in his beautiful eyes, and said. "Yeah."
Qin Shuang stood a hundred miles away from Jiayuan City, Yueguo, on a hidden mountain peak, looking into the distance, frowning.
There were faint dark clouds rolling in the distance, as if indicating a storm was coming.
He knew in his heart that the Nascent Soul cultivator of the Ghost Spirit Sect had begun to investigate the truth about Wang Chan's death, and as the person who killed Wang Chan, he might be exposed at any time.
Time is tight, and he must improve his strength as soon as possible to deal with the upcoming crisis.
"Master, what should we do next?" Ye Kanghui stood behind Qin Shuang and asked in a low voice. He looked solemn and obviously realized the severity of the situation.
Qin Shuang withdrew her gaze and said lightly: "The lucky point of the Zhao Palace is our next goal. As long as I seize the luck there, my cultivation will be able to go further. At that time, even if I face the Nascent Soul cultivator, I will have the power to fight."
Ye Kanghui nodded, and a trace of worry flashed in his eyes: "The Zhao Palace is very cautious and has a Jindan master in charge. Our trip may not go smoothly."
Qin Shuang sneered: "It's okay, with Fu Tianqiong here, the cultivation of the half-step golden elixir is enough to deal with most of the troubles. Besides, our trip is not a forceful move, but a secret move."
Another point is that Qin Shuang's own cultivation has reached half the list, and his physical strength is comparable to that of the middle stage of the Golden Pill. Even in the Zhao Palace, he is not afraid of having a Jindan master in charge.
Fu Tianqiong bent slightly when he heard this, his voice was hoarse and low: "Don't worry, master, my subordinates will do their best to help the master achieve his goal."
Qin Shuang nodded, and a trace of coldness flashed in her eyes: "No need to delay, let's set off immediately."
As night fell, the Zhao Kingdom Palace was shrouded in tranquility.
The towering palace wall casts a long shadow under the moonlight, like a sleeping giant beast. Qin Shuang and the other two hid their bodies and sneaked into the palace quietly. Their aura was completely converging, as if it was integrated with the night.
The night is as bright as ink, and the lights in the Zhao Palace are dim.
Qin Shuang's figure swept across the palace wall like a ghost, followed by Ye Kanghui and Fu Tianqiong. Fu Tianqiong lowered his head, and the breath under the black robe was as stagnant as the abyss - the pressure of the half-step golden elixir was deliberately restrained, but it still made the patrol guards unconsciously bypass the palace path.
"Squeak"
The gilded hall door opened silently, and Zhao Bin sat up from the dragon couch in shock, and before he opened his mouth, he was locked in his throat by a blood-colored rune. Fu Tianqiong's thin fingers were hanging three inches between the emperor's eyebrows, and thousands of resentful souls howled at his fingertips.
"The technique of soul control is coming!"
Qin Shuang's pupils showed a strange gilt light, and the ancient secret technique learned in the Temple of War turned into thousands of golden threads and drilled into Zhao Bin's seven orifices. The emperor's eyes were gushing black air, and his veins suddenly crept like an earthworm squirming, making a strange "grizz" sound in his throat.
Ye Kanghui was holding three soul-devouring nails in his palm, ready to nail them into the Emperor's Heavenly Spirit at any time. He glimpsed that he saw a bleeding bead oozing from Qin Shuang's forehead - using the foundation-building body to activate the secret technique of soul-controlling, which was too reluctant.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, the dragon-patterned jade pendant in Zhao Bin's arms exploded, and a phantom of the soul appeared: "Who is the little girl? I dare to touch my Zhao bloodline!"
Fu Tianqiong smiled grimly and his black robe suddenly swelled.
Three hundred corpses broke out from the ground, and the rotten corpse energy condensed into the huge mouth of Taotie, and even projected the Yuanying shadow to chew it.
At the same time, Qin Shuang's eyes were full of golden light, Zhao Bin's bones exploded, and finally knelt heavily: "Master."
bite!
A golden light bursts out from the panel in my mind: [Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully controlling Zhao State, and luck point +200,000! 】
"The lucky point of 200,000 is not bad!"
Qin Shuang looked at the prompt sound in her mind, and her eyes showed satisfaction.
Outside the palace window, dawn first appeared. He looked at the emperor crawling on the ground, and a sneered on the corner of his mouth - the pursuers of the Ghost Spirit Sect were probably unexpected. The murderer they were looking for was sitting upright on the dragon throne of the Seven Kingdoms.
"Now I have luck points, I can add some of my immortal divine body."
At this moment, Qin Shuang was extremely expectant.
After his immortal golden body has advanced to the immortal body, the strength of the physical body is comparable to that of the middle stage of the golden elixir. If the temperature point is used to make his physical body immortal and his body be perfect. Can the cultivation strength be comparable to the Nascent Soul stage?
However, Qin Shuang knew in her heart that she wanted to use the luck point and add the immortal divine body. Another key thing is needed, that is, the Golden Body Nirvana Pill.
He has already obtained all kinds of herbs and elixirs from the Golden Body Nirvana Pill.
However, he still needs a good alchemy furnace. He knew in his heart that if he wanted to refine advanced elixirs such as the Golden Body Nirvana Pill, a good alchemy furnace was indispensable.
"It's time to go to Tianji Xiancheng."
Qin Shuang said in her heart.
Tianji Immortal City is a great immortal city in Yue Kingdom, where there are elixirs, refining weapons, talismans, formations, monster materials, etc. for sale.
Among them are auctions, which include alchemy furnaces for sale.
Qin Shuang stood at the gate of Tianji Xiancheng, looking up at the towering city wall, and couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion.
Tianji Immortal City is worthy of being one of the best cities in the world of immortal cultivation. Runes flash on the city walls, and the power of formations is faintly flowing. It is obviously a powerful ban set up to prevent foreign enemies from invading.
"Master, we have arrived." Ye Kanghui stood behind Qin Shuang and whispered.
The newest ⊥Xiao⊥Speak⊥Send⊥Six⊥9⊥Book⊥⊥⊥⊥Back⊥⊥⊥⊥!
Qin Shuang nodded, and a trace of expectation flashed in her eyes: "Let's go, the auction of Lingbao Weapon Refining Pavilion is about to begin, we cannot miss it."
The two walked along the bustling streets, with people coming and going in the Tianji Fairy City. The monks either flew with swords or rode spirit beasts, which seemed extremely lively.
Although Qin Shuang's cultivation is not low, she dares not be too arrogant in this big city. After all, there are many experts here, and if she is not careful, she may get into trouble.
Soon, they arrived at the door of the Lingbao Weapon Refining Pavilion.
The Lingbao Weapon Refining Pavilion is one of the most famous weapon refining workshops in Tianjixian City. It not only sells various rare magic weapons, but also holds auctions regularly, attracting many monks to come and bid.
As soon as Qin Shuang walked into the weapon refining pavilion, a maid came up to him and asked with a smile: "Senior, are you here to participate in the auction?"
Qin Shuang nodded and said lightly, "That's right."
The maid respectfully handed over a jade token: "Senior, this is your admission certificate, please hold it. The auction is about to begin, you can go directly to the second floor auction hall."
Qin Shuang took the jade token and took Ye Kanghui straight to the second floor.
There were already many monks sitting in the auction hall, each of whom was extraordinary in aura, obviously they were all coming for the rare treasures at the auction.
Qin Shuang found a corner to sit down, glanced around, and was secretly alert in her heart.
He knew that such auctions were often mixed, and if you were not careful, you might get into trouble.
Not long after, the auction officially began.
A middle-aged man in gorgeous clothes walked onto the stage and bowed to everyone with a smile: "Friends of Taoism, welcome to the auction of Lingbao Weapon Refining Pavilion.
Today we have prepared a lot of rare treasures for you, and hope that everyone can gain something. ”
As his words fell, the first auction item was brought up.
It was a long sword full of red, with flame patterns flowing faintly on the sword's body, which was obviously a fire-attribute magic weapon.
"Red Flame Sword, a medium-grade spiritual weapon, starts at a price of 1,000 spirit stones, and each increase must not be less than 100 spirit stones." The middle-aged man announced loudly.
Qin Shuang was not interested in this magic weapon, but just watched coldly. Soon, the Red Flame Sword was sold by a Foundation Establishment Cultivator for two thousand spirit stones.
Although the next few auction items were good, Qin Shuang still did not take action. His goal was the alchemy furnace, and other things were not important to him.
Finally, halfway through the auction, the alchemy furnace was brought up. The alchemy furnace is blue-gray all over, and the furnace body is full of complex runes, with a faint flow of spiritual energy. It is obviously a top-grade spiritual weapon.
"Qingxuan Alchemy Furnace, the top-grade spiritual weapon, the starting price is 5,000 spirit stones, and the price increase shall not be less than 500 spirit stones each time." The middle-aged man announced loudly.
A hint of joy flashed in Qin Shuang's eyes. This alchemy furnace was the goal of his trip. Without hesitation, he raised the jade plaque in his hand: "Five thousand five hundred spirit stones."
However, as soon as he finished speaking, another voice rang out: "Six thousand spirit stones."
Qin Shuang frowned and turned to look. She saw a young man in a black robe looking at him coldly. The man's face was sinister and his aura was deep, which was obviously the peak of foundation building cultivation.
"People from Yinluo Sect..." Qin Shuang was secretly alert. Yinluo Sect is a notorious evil sect in the immortal world. All the disciples under them are cruel and ruthless and difficult to provoke.
However, Qin Shuang did not intend to retreat. He raised the jade plaque again: "Seven Thousand Spirit Stones."
The man in black robe sneered and added a price without hesitation: "Eight thousand spirit stones."
Qin Shuang frowned and thought to herself. Although this alchemy furnace is precious, its price has exceeded his expectations. However, in order to increase the success rate of alchemy, he must take down this alchemy furnace.
"Nine Thousand Spirit Stones." Qin Shuang raised the price again.
The man in black robe turned gloomy. He looked at Qin Shuang coldly, and a murderous intent flashed in his eyes: "Ten Thousand Spirit Stones."
The atmosphere in the auction hall suddenly became tense, and everyone could see the smell of gunpowder between the two. The middle-aged man also noticed something was wrong and quickly smoothed out: "Two fellow Taoists, those who are at the auction will get the higher price, please calm down."
Qin Shuang took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in her heart, and raised the jade plaque again: "Ten thousand spirit stones."
The man in black robe snorted coldly, as if he was dissatisfied with Qin Shuang's persistence. He gritted his teeth and raised the price again: "Ten thousand spirit stones!"
As soon as the price was released, a burst of exclamations suddenly sounded in the auction hall. Ten thousand spirit stones have far exceeded the actual value of this alchemy furnace.
Qin Shuang's face also became ugly. He knew that he could not raise the price any more, otherwise even if he bought the alchemy furnace, it would cause unnecessary trouble.
"Anyone has a price increase in 15,000 spirit stones?" the middle-aged man asked loudly.
Qin Shuang was silent for a moment, and finally shook her head and gave up the auction.
The man in black robe smiled proudly and looked at Qin Shuang coldly, as if mocking him for being overestimated.
After the auction, Qin Shuang took Ye Kanghui away from the Lingbao Weapon Refining Pavilion. He was in a heavy mood. Although he couldn't take a picture of the alchemy furnace, he didn't plan to give up.
"Master, what should we do next?" Ye Kanghui asked in a low voice.
A trace of coldness flashed in Qin Shuang's eyes: "The people of Yinluo Sect... Since they dare to steal my things, don't blame me for being rude."
Ye Kanghui felt a stern, knowing that Qin Shuang had already become murderous. He whispered, "Master, the people of the Yinluo Sect are not easy to mess with, so we have to be careful."
Qin Shuang nodded and said lightly, "Don't worry, I have a sense of responsibility."
At the same time, the man in black robe was leaving Tianji Immortal City with an alchemy furnace. He didn't know that he had been targeted by Qin Shuang.
As night fell, a man in black robe walked alone on a remote path. Suddenly, he felt a powerful aura locking on him.
"Who?" The man in black robe looked around alertly, holding the magic weapon in his hand.
"I snatched my stuff and still want to leave safely?" Qin Shuang's voice rang coldly.
The man in black robe changed his face and then sneered: "So it's you! Why, I can't fight for me at the auction, so I want to be tough?"
Qin Shuang walked out of the darkness, her eyes cold: "I can spare your life after handing over the alchemy furnace." (End of this chapter)
