In Zhongzhou City.
"Your Highness, this is the most prosperous place in the Central State, Zhongzhou City." Phoenix Five pointed at the stone board above the city wall.
"Yeah."
Duanmu Xi nodded and then entered Zhongzhou City with the others.
Speaking of the Central State, it was the most special place on the Hantian Continent, which was situated in the center of the four empires but didn't belong to any one of them.
A few centuries ago, the four empires all wanted to annex the Central State to unify the whole continent.
However, the Central State was strategically situated, which was easy to guard and difficult to attack. The four empires distrusted each other and meanwhile took precautions against each other. As a result, they couldn't take down such a small state as the Central State for so many years.
By now, the four empires had no intention of annexing the Central State, which all acknow
"Xi, after you pass the exam, I have to go back to the Baihu Empire and return the tiger tally to my father."Hearing that Xuanyuan Mo would leave, Duanmu Xi felt even sadder. Her face was etched with unhappiness.Seeing Duanmu Xi appeared so frustrated, Xuanyuan Mo's heart clenched. He went forward and pinched her fair-skinned face."Xi, don't be sad. I will come back as soon as possible."If there were not many people around, he really wanted to hug her."Yeah."Duanmu Xi looked downward and clenched Xuanyuan Mo's hand as if he were leaving the next moment...Seeing Duanmu Xi lowered her head, Xuanyuan Mo felt a bit of heartache.Then, he held Duanmu Xi's hand tightly.If possible, he didn't want to leave her either, not even for a moment.When only two people were left before the old man in grey, Duanmu Xi finally went forward slowly.A yo
Duanmu Xi saw four jade bottles were placed by the medicinal materials in order, next to which there was a sheet of paper.Duanmu Xi picked up the paper and took a look at it. It wrote the refining method of Tranquil Dew.The method was quite simple. Duanmu Xi summarized it into two aspects--extracting and integrating.Having learned the extracting sequence, Duanmu Xi started medicine refining for the first time in her life.Instead of rushing to proceed with the extracting step, Duanmu Xi checked the medicine tripod in front of her first.The medicine tripod was not very big, which was copper-colored with two ears and three legs. There was also a square hole in the cover, which should be used to put in the medicinal materials.The old man in grey saw the two men had started refining while Duanmu Xi was still checking the medicine tripod. He couldn’t refrain from nodding with appreciation.The
While the crowd was confused, an old grey-haired man flew into the hall from outside directly.The voice sounded so familiar. She seemed to have heard it before and yet failed to think of it.Duanmu Xi jerked her head up.It was him?He was the old grey-haired man who snatched the beggar's chicken from Lanze."It is you who want to take away my disciple?"Situ Kong walked to the several elders and raised his eyebrows proudly.Faced with Situ Kong's questioning, the elders all subconsciously swallowed.Others might not know Situ Kong but the elders had met Situ Kong and known his prestige. No one dared to say anything more.A glint of intrigue flashed across Nalan Xi's eyes.It turned out that this was the one Situ Kong wanted to take as his disciple.He had a good eye indeed. Since she could make the three elders all want to take her as the i
At night.Nestling against Xuanyuan Mo, Duanmu Xi enjoyed the tranquility for the moment."Xi, I'm going back to Baihu tomorrow."His usually cold voice was extremely soft tonight.When she heard that, Duanmu Xi's dark purple eyes glittered lightly.After a while, when Xuanyuan Mo thought she wouldn't answer, a sulky voice came."Okay."Her short reply was a heavy blow on Xuanyuan Mo's heart like a hammer.Suddenly, he raised her chin. Their bodies were closely pressed against each other. He could tell from her eyes that she was deeply reluctant to part from him.He felt a severe heartache again.Amidst her unique scent, his breath became hotter and hotter. Then, he just pressed his lips on the rosy lips.Sensing his intent, Duanmu Xi slightly flushed and slowly closed her eyes.Yet, the twitching long eyelashes indicated how ner
In the imperial study of the Baihu Empire."Your Majesty, Prince Zhan requests meeting you."A eunuch hurried inside.Hearing the report, Xuanyuan Lie was ecstatically happy that his son finally came back."Let him in."Shortly, Xuanyuan Mo entered the imperial study."Greetings, Father."Xuanyuan Lie was elated to see Xuanyuan Mo but he didn't show it on his face."You are finally back. You've been away for more than half a month and I've heard nothing from you..."As Xuanyuan Lie didn't mean to let him rise, Xuanyuan Mo stood up on his own."I'm back here to return the tiger tally."Xuanyuan Mo took out the tiger tally from his arms and put it before Xuanyuan Lie.What did he mean?Before Xuanyuan Lie came to his senses, he saw Xuanyuan Mo turned around and meant to leave."Stop."Xuanyuan
Since Xuanyuan Lie was "awake", Doctor Liu was summoned to take his pulse again."How is it going?""His Majesty is not very well. What he needs most now is a rest-cure. If he keeps working himself, he may suffer a stroke."Doctor Liu looked worried but he actually thought otherwise."Prince Zhan, it's not that I want to lie to you. His Majesty asks me to say so. You should blame him," he thought.So serious?Xuanyuan Mo frowned, his eyes glistening with worry."Mo..."Xuanyuan Mo heard Xuanyuan Lie's weak voice and immediately went forward, "Father."Xuanyuan Lie felt so happy to hear that. Pretending sickness was such a good idea."Mo, am I severely ill?""No. Father, rest assured. Doctor Liu said you just needed some rest."Xuanyuan Mo comforted him awkwardly. Obviously, he didn't do this kind of thing often."Tha
Duanmu Xi slightly frowned and stared at the old man in black with cold purple eyes.As Duanmu Xi looked disgruntled, the old man in black immediately explained, "This is our young master."The young man finally recovered from astonishment and realized his ill manner. Hence, he hastened to apologize to Duanmu Xi with clasped hands."I'm Feng Xifan. I'm sorry for offending you just now. Please forgive me."He was not a concupiscent man. It was just that the woman was too beautiful.Was the man the young master of the Feng Family?Seeing that Duanmu Xi looked less disgruntled, Feng Xifan took out a VIP card."You are an honorable lady. This is the VIP card of Myriad Treasure Pavilion. Please take it."VIP card?She didn't expect that she could get it so easily. The VIP card could allow her and Phoenix Five to have a booth. It was quite nice indeed.Duanmu X
Huamei'er was a bit dazed to find there was one more bid but she quickly composed herself and put down the hammer."A black crystal from VIP Room 7."Hearing her mention VIP Room 7, Feng Xifan took a tumble.She was a refining pharmacist and a girl. It was understandable that she was interested in the prescription of Beauty Locking Pill.Chu Lian'er was a bit excited to hear that someone placed a higher bid than Hua Xian'er.She thought that since she was out, the prescription of Beauty Locking Pill must be bought by Hua Xian'er. However, someone outbid Hua Xian'er unexpectedly."Brother, who is sitting in VIP Room 7?"Chu Xiaoran shook his head.He also wanted to find out the girl who dared to compete for the item against the young master of the Hua Family in Zhongzhou City.Hua Xian'er in VIP Room 3 had a gloomy look on her pretty face.Who on earth was
