Now that we have obtained the elixir that can cure Lei Zun, the next step is naturally to go to the forbidden area and feed the elixir into Lei Zun's mouth.

"I cannot tell you where this immortality elixir came from. There must be a reason why Chang Qing Zhenren has not appeared yet."

"So we have to choose a time when no one is around to feed the pill into Lei Zun's mouth."

"Oh, another troublesome matter."

Kong Ju rubbed his fingers lightly on his chin. Although he said it was troublesome, it was actually not too difficult to do.

He was originally the chief disciple.

With the birth of Kong Ju, his status in the sect rose again, and it could be said that he was second only to Huangfu Ying and Dong Xian.

This time, he accomplished another remarkable feat in Xihuang blessed land, helping Wudong to spy on Yutingmen's trump card in advance.

Made outstanding contributions to the victory of this battle.

It is not difficult to get a chance to contact Lei Zun alone.

"Master is currently meeting with several sect leaders at Qingcang Palace, and Master Dongxian is also present. This is a good opportunity, so why not go and take a look."

He did as he said. Kong Ju opened the stone door of the cave with a thought, and with a wave of the palm-generated formation, a gap was revealed that was just big enough for him to pass through.

But he had just taken a step through the gap.

Swoosh! A tall figure in a yellow robe with dragon patterns just flew down from the sky, leaving a golden arc in the air, and stood just in front of Kong Ju's cave.

The opening of the stone door allowed Kong Ju to collide head-on with the person who had just landed.

The two looked at each other, and the latter's pair of golden eyes, with such characteristics, undoubtedly proved the identity of the visitor.

Kong Jue made eye contact with the visitor and smiled amiably, "It is a great honor for my humble abode to have the Crown Prince visit me."

It was Bai Yuanqi, the Crown Prince of Tianqi.

After the battle at Luoxia Mountains, he did not leave immediately, but stayed and contacted many palm students of Wudong on behalf of Tianqi.

Of course, the main contact was with Huangfu Ying.

In fact, he also contributed in this battle, and Tianqi would also be an indispensable part in the future confrontation with the Cangming Realm. No one thought this was inappropriate.

Kong Ju didn't know what the two talked about, but he was a little puzzled that the prince suddenly came to find him.

"If you have anything, just contact my master. Why are you looking for me?" Kong Ju glanced at the prince suspiciously, but the smile on his face did not diminish at all.

Now that the prince was here, his plan to go out and feed Lei Zun the immortality elixir naturally had to be put on hold.

He invited the prince into the cave in a friendly manner.

Kong Ju was well versed in hospitality, but he had nothing of the kind that would be of Tianqi's royal standard, so he simply brewed a pot of tea bought at Tianqi's Lingzhu Market and served it to the prince. It wasn't expensive, but it was decent.

"Prince, my humble abode is simple and cannot compare to your palace in the imperial city." Kong Ju poured tea for the prince and said with a smile, "Please don't despise me, Prince."

"That's not right, Master Kong." The prince spoke gently.

He sat on a simple stone bench, his posture calm and composed. Even though it was just an inconspicuous stone bench, whenever he sat on it, Kong Jue felt as if he was sitting in the throne room, elegant and leisurely.

Kong Ju could not help but praise the nobleness of her every move and impeccable manners.

The prince took a sip of the hot tea, and seemed to have tasted the origin of the tea. He gave Kong Ju a gentle smile and said, "Mr. Kong, you are thoughtful. I didn't expect that I could drink the Lingzhu needles from Tianqi Quanzhou in a foreign land."

The prince thought that Kong Ju had specially reserved the tea for him. After all, the royal family was particular about this.

Kong Ju didn't do this on purpose. He just thought the tea tasted good and bought some more.

Without explaining, he chatted with the prince in a casual tone, "Prince, this is your first time in Wudong. The sunset glow of the Xiling Mountains in Wudong, the beautiful scenery of Qinghu Lake, and the mist and clouds of Poyue Mountain are all well-known in the Xianyun Realm."

"You won't be able to see the scenery of Poyue Mountain, but you must not miss the Xiling Mountains and Qinghu Lake."

In fact, Kong Ju wanted to ask the prince about his purpose in finding him.

But the prince was a very particular person, and asking directly seemed a little too straightforward.

Kong Ju simply started talking to the prince about some elegant matters, waiting for him to speak.

The prince was not in a hurry either. He said in a gentle voice that he had long been fascinated by the scenery of Wudong and that he must go and see it this time.

That docile look made Kong Jue feel helpless.

I secretly complained in my heart: "These royal family members are too roundabout. The second prince is more straightforward. When he came to fight me, he just came directly."

"This prince is very thoughtful."

After chatting about some unimportant things, the prince talked about the battle in Luoxia Mountains and praised Lei Zun's courage.

After that, he finally talked about the purpose of his trip to find Kong Ju.

"I heard from Sect Master Huangfu in Qingcang Palace that the reason why we were able to defeat Yuting Sect this time was entirely due to Master Kong risking his life to sneak into Xihuang Blessed Land. This allowed Sect Master Wudong to get a glimpse of Yuting Sect's methods and made great contributions to this battle."

The prince was teleported to the battlefield via Tianqi's national treasure when Qiao Yingdao sacrificed the quasi-immortal jade bowl.

So I don’t know what happened before.

When he heard from Huangfu Ying that it was Kong Ju who entered the Xihuang blessed land, he was still a little surprised.

From the perspective of Prince Tianqi, he felt that the future leader of the Cangwu Sect should not be allowed to take on such a dangerous task.

It was not until the prince saw Kong Ju nod his head that he smiled calmly and said, "It's not that dangerous. Prince, look, I don't have any missing limbs."

The prince stared at Kong Ju for a moment, then sighed, "Mr. Kong really has the demeanor of Lei Zun when he was young."

"With you, the Cangwu Sect can be guaranteed to last for a thousand years."

The prince spoke sincerely.

After Kong Ju fought against the Holy Son of Gujiang in Chaodi Ancient City, the former spoke highly of him.

After the incident at Xihuang Blessed Land, he felt that Kong Ju’s courage did not belong to Lei Zun.

Lei Zun is the Wudong cultivator that the prince admires the most. Comparing Lei Zun with Kong Ju is already a very high evaluation by the prince.

After saying that, Kong Ju watched the prince tap his fingers twice on the teacup, as if he was considering something.

After a short rest, I heard the prince speak: "This time I came to Wudong, in addition to helping the Xianyun Realm resist the Cangming Realm, I also have an important matter to discuss with your sect."

"I have already discussed this with your master in Qingcang Palace. There is no need to hide this from Master Kong."

When Kong Ju heard what the prince said, he immediately narrowed his eyes. The prince had been beating around the bush for so long, but in fact, this sentence was his real purpose in finding himself.

Without showing any emotion, he replied softly, "Please speak, Your Highness."

The prince's golden eyes suddenly raised up at this moment, and met Kong Ju's eyes with a cold aura.

"How much do you know about Gujiang, Master Kong?"

When Kong Ju heard the prince mention Gujiang, his mind subconsciously flashed through what True Man Chiyang had mentioned about Gujiang, the immortal who was killed by the White Emperor.

That is the real master of Gujiang, the Witch God of the Witch God Temple.

At that moment, the hands hidden under the long sleeves subconsciously tightened and clenched into fists.

But the smile on his face did not diminish at all, and he pretended to be indifferent and said: "I have not had much contact with the Gujiang witch cultivators. Most of what I know is through the books in the sect. I only know that the skills practiced by the witch cultivators are very different from those of us in Wudong, Yunmo, Tianqi, and Wujinhai."

The prince suddenly shook his head and said meaningfully, "It's more than just different."

"We have also fought with Cangming Realm cultivators many times."

"Although the two realms' skills take different paths, they both have the same goal. They both use the Wheel of Essence and the Wheel of Destruction as their foundation. The foundation contains the spirit, and the great way of deification is the orthodoxy of the world."

"The witch cultivators in Gujiang are showing strangeness everywhere. I believe that with Master Kong's wisdom, he has already noticed the clues."

It would be strange if Kong Ju didn't understand.

The true immortal who was killed by Baidi was called an evil immortal by Zhenren Chiyang. It was obvious that his practice was not the orthodox one of the time.

The cultivation method of the Gujiang witches was born out of that evil immortal, so it would be strange if their cultivation method could be orthodox.

However, these words could not come out of Kong Ju's mouth. He just nodded continuously and waited for the prince's next words.

The prince then slowly said: "This is also why, in the face of the catastrophe of the Cangming Realm this time, Yun Mo, Tian Qi, Wu Dong, and even Wu Jin Hai all hugged each other tightly."

"Only Gujiang seems to be staying out of this matter."

"The witch cultivators of Gujiang are not cultivating the great way of the world at all. In a sense, they are not cultivators of our Xianyun Realm either."

"Whether this land is defeated or not naturally has nothing to do with Gujiang, nor does it have anything to do with the Wushen Temple."

Smart people speak only to the point.

After Kong Ju saw the prince finish speaking, his pair of golden eyes looked at him.

Kong Ju vaguely understood what the prince meant, and gently continued what the prince had not said: "The prince means that the Gujiang witch cultivators are not of our race?"

"Faced with the great catastrophe of the Cangming Realm, not only will they not contribute, they are very likely to stab us in the back."

The prince reached out and raised the warm teapot, filling Kong Jue's empty cup with tea, and asked, "Master Kong, do you think I am worrying too much?"

"No, I think the prince's worries are not unreasonable." Kong Ju tapped the teacup with his fingers, his eyes flashing coldly.

The Starry Sky Robe Force, one of the two forces that destroyed Xihuang Fudi, was vaguely pointing to Gujiang.

The Starry Sky Robe forces are directly related to the destruction of the two blessed lands of Xihuang and Qinghu.

They openly attacked the blessed land of Xianyun Realm, and both True Man Chiyang and Lord Jiao, two great creators, fell at their hands.

It can be said that the inheritance of the two major blessed places in this world was directly destroyed.

The decline of the Xianyun Realm to the point where it could be easily controlled by the Cangming Realm was closely related to what the Starry Sky Robe forces did back then.

If the two blessed lands were still standing, the Cangming Realm would not dare to be so arrogant.

From this, it can be seen that Gu Jiang really did not consider himself a member of the Xianyun Realm at all.

"If we really confront the Cangming Realm head-on, with Gujiang making trouble behind the scenes, it will be a much greater threat to the Xianyun Realm than the Cangming Realm."

Kong Ju roughly understood what the prince meant.

The second purpose of his trip was already very clear.

He wanted to deal with Gu Jiang.

In other words, the Tianqi Dynasty behind the prince wants to deal with Gujiang.

The Tianqi Dynasty wanted to remove the poisonous thorn Gujiang before the war came.

Of course, there must be the generations of grudges between Tianqi and Gujiang involved.

But it is also undeniable that the Tianqi Dynasty’s concerns are irrefutable.

"But I have no control over this matter." Kong Ju glanced at the prince.

Could it be that he came to see me this time and asked me to persuade Huangfu Ying?

With this thought in mind, Kong Ju asked tentatively, "What did my master say?"

The prince spoke frankly in front of him, and I guess he had already talked to Huangfu Ying in Qingcang Palace before.

Kong Ju didn't know the old fox's attitude and didn't know how to express it.

At this time, the prince gave Kong Ju an intriguing smile and said softly: "Master Huangfu did not respond directly."

"He asked me to get closer to Master Kong, and also told me to tell Master Kong about this."

"Oh." Kong Ju laughed immediately after hearing the prince say this.

Huangfu Ying must have made up his mind long ago.

However, this matter somewhat involves the grudge between Tianqi and Gujiang. Huangfu Ying does not want to be used as a gun by Tianqi, so he deliberately delays.

This ambiguous attitude is probably because he wants to wait for Emperor Tianqi, then Emperor Kangren, to come and talk in person.

Although this prince is the crown prince, he is not the true king of Tianqi.

"He's waiting for Tianqi to bleed." Kong Ju's eyes turned and he had guessed the general idea.

When Tianqi took action this time, Huangfu Ying also shed blood and handed over the jade bowl.

Since Tianqi wants Wudong to take action and jointly attack Gujiang, then Tianqi must also offer conditions that will make Huangfu Ying tempted.

But no matter how he thought about it, Huangfu Ying had already made up his mind to take action.

The prince probably tasted something, so he came in calmly.

Kong Ju immediately pretended to comfort him and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Prince. My master is... a man of foresight."

"He has his own considerations on the pros and cons. We young people just need to do what we should do."

The implication was that the prince should stop asking further questions.

Huangfu Ying would definitely not nod before seeing Emperor Kang Ren.

The prince echoed, his attitude still so dignified and elegant.

The status of the Cangwu School is no longer what it used to be.

Today, its influence is ten times stronger than that during the reign of Emperor Ding Yuezong.

In addition, the battle in Luoxia Mountains made the prestige of Cangwu Sect in Wudong reach its peak.

As long as Huangfu Ying is willing to nod, it means that the many cultivators in Wudong will not stand idly by.

At the same time, Wudong nodded.

After all, these three regions and one sea are now of the same blood and form a united front against the Cangming Realm.

Kong Ju certainly understood the reasoning. While chatting and laughing with the prince, he sniffed the tea fragrance floating in the cave and thought quietly in his mind: "It seems that this battle is inevitable."

“But even if there is only a trace of the evil immortal who was killed by the White Emperor, I’m afraid it will be difficult to deal with him.”

“When True Man Chi Yang mentioned that evil immortal, even though his tone was full of contempt, I could sense his fear of that evil immortal.”

"I wonder if Tianqi has any means to deal with that evil immortal."

As he spoke, Kong Ju secretly glanced at the prince.

The latter was as calm and composed as when he came, drinking tea with his head down, looking as if he had everything planned out.

This gave Kong Qi a little more confidence in Tianqi.

"Master Chiyang knows that the witch god is the remnant of an evil immortal, so how could the descendants of the White Emperor not know this?"

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

"I guess before Baidi ascended to the immortal world, he left behind some means to deal with the remnant of the evil immortal."

"Your Majesty the White Emperor can kill him once, and he can kill him a second time."

Thinking of this, Kong Ju no longer worried about the attack on Gujiang.

Instead, he started thinking about his own affairs.

"My chance to enter Gujiang has been delayed for nearly twenty years."

"When I heard from Master Chi Yang about the existence of the evil immortal's remnant, I almost gave up on that opportunity."

"Now there is a turning point. It is a good opportunity to take advantage of the war between the three regions and one sea to attack Gujiang and go deep into Gujiang to see if there is a chance to get that opportunity."

The more Kong Qi thought about it, the brighter his eyes became.

"Gujiang is dangerous after all. If we run into the remnant of that evil immortal, even Master Zaoxuan may not be able to escape unscathed."

"I need to prepare early."

The reason why Kong Ju is still alive today is because he is extremely cautious in every step.

Since the sword is aimed at Gujiang, we naturally have to prepare for the next action.

"After delivering the elixir of immortality to Thunder Lord, we should go to the Endless Sea and collect the remains of Palace Master Wei Jingtai."

"Besides, there is no one to disturb me in the Ice Palace, which is just right for me to practice the Great Void Wandering Spirit."

“That immortal technique is simply the ultimate way to save one’s life in this world. Even if one encounters the remnant of that evil immortal and has half of his soul destroyed, one will still be alive.”

"There is also the Immortal Sealing Talisman Technique that True Man Chi Yang gave me, so I can practice it together."

…

The prince was leisurely sipping tea in the cave.

Kong Ju chatted and laughed with the future king of Tianqi from time to time, and his eyes revealed a bright gleam.

Both of them were thinking about what they were going to do.

Gradually, the cave became quiet.

The prince stayed in Kongju Cave for half a day. Seeing that the time was almost up, he stood up and said goodbye and left.

Kong Ju politely escorted him out of the cave and saw him rushing towards the Qingcang Palace, guessing that he was going to look for his master Huangfu Ying again.

Kong Ju stood at the entrance of the cave, looking at Qingcang Palace, and thought silently: "The joint attack on Gujiang should not be too fast."

"We still need to contact Yunmo and Endless Sea. I don't know how long it will take for the leaders of the three regions and one sea to gather together to discuss the specific details and finalize the plan."

"But the process won't take too long. The calamity of the Cangming Realm is getting closer and closer. If I were your master, I would definitely dare to act before the gate to the realm opens."

Kong Ju thought about it and decided that this period of time should be enough for him to practice Taixu Youshen.

As for the Sealing Talisman Technique, whether he can master it all depends on whether he has enough immortal affinity.

"The only regret is that Han Xi hasn't made any movement yet. I don't think Taixu Youshen can rely on him for his cultivation."

Kong Ju counted on his fingers the time since Han Xi took the soul-restoring elixir, and it had been seven or eight years.

After all, Zhang Sheng has a long life span, so seven or eight years is really nothing.

The external situation may change at any time and will not wait for anyone.

Without Han Xi's guidance, the risk was indeed greater, and Kong Ju had no choice but to practice anyway.

Having made the decision, Kong Ju's eyes gradually became firm, and he then looked from the direction of Qingcang Palace towards the forbidden area.

"Let's go to the forbidden area first!"

Before the lingering sound faded away, Kong Ju's figure had disappeared without a trace at the entrance of the cave.

Under Lei Zun's instruction, Kong Ju now has a pass token that leads directly to the forbidden area, so he doesn't need them to lead the way.

The figure went straight into the forbidden area from the air.

But the three old farmers who were under house arrest by Huangfu Ying are no longer seen on this land, and no one knows where Dongxian buried them.

Kong Ju entered Lei Zun's bedroom with ease and did not meet anyone in the process.

After all, not everyone can come to this forbidden area.

Dongxian and Huangfu Ying are now in Qingcang Palace receiving leaders of various factions. The three old farmers are gone, so naturally there is no popularity.

Kong Jue didn't meet anyone during this process.

It wasn't until he pushed open the door of Lei Zun's bedroom that his body froze in place.

But by the window of Lei Zun, a girl in a white skirt was sitting cross-legged with her eyes closed, and a thunderous glow was surging around her.

"Oh, I forgot about Junior Sister Huangfu." Kong Ju gave a slightly bitter smile after seeing the girl.

He had almost never seen Huangfu Wuqin in the forbidden area, and had even forgotten that Huangfu Wuqin was Lei Zun's personal disciple.

She was probably the fourth person in the entire Cangwu sect, besides herself, Huangfu Ying and Dong Xian, who could enter and exit the forbidden area at will.

When Kong Ju pushed open the door, Huangfu Wuqin also opened his eyes instantly.

Purple lightning flashed in the golden eyes that symbolized the royal bloodline of Tianqi, and then stopped at Kong Jue who was standing at the door.

"Here she comes!" Huangfu Wuqin's clear voice echoed in the small space. She didn't seem surprised by Kong Ju's arrival.

After all, Kong Ju is one of the three third-grade alchemists in the Cangwu sect, so it is natural for him to come to the forbidden area to visit Lei Zun who was injured.

"Yes! I'm coming." Kong Ju nodded and responded, not forgetting to close the door gently.

Then his eyes moved to the figure of Lei Zun on the bed.

His body had improved slightly under the influence of Zhou Shangxiang's medicine, and his body was no longer twisted into a ball.

But the physical body is just a carrier for the powerful palm-born.

What's really serious about Lei Zun is his almost exhausted soul, so the changes in his physical body can only make Lei Zun look better.

In fact, it did not solve any problem at all.

Seeing this, Kong Ju gently said to Huangfu Wuqin: "Junior Sister Huangfu is also tired, go and have a rest, I will take over the duty."

Huangfu Wuqin was indeed tired. He had just returned from the battle in Luoxia Mountains without stopping and had been guarding Lei Zun ever since.

With Kong Ju on duty for her, she felt relieved. She nodded sullenly and stood up.

When passing by Kong Ju, he saw Huangfu Wuqin suddenly stop, then turn his head to face him, his golden eyes filled with deep worry.

"Can you save Lei Zun?"

Huangfu Wuqin spoke softly, his emotions unusually calm.

However, the more she tried to hide her guilt, the more Kong Qi could feel her inner anxiety at the moment.

After all, it was Lei Zun who brought him up since he was a child, and not only all his skills were taught by Lei Zun.

Compared to Huangfu Ying, Lei Zun is more like her father.

Under normal circumstances, Kong Ju would have definitely shaken his head, but at this moment he couldn't say anything and could only reply ambiguously: "I'll try."

Huangfu Wuqin didn't know why he asked Kong Ju that question.

Obviously, all the third-rank and above alchemists from Wudong have come to see it.

Zhou Shangxiang, the elder in charge of the furnace in the Alchemy Pavilion, also came to see it, but was helpless.

Kong Ju was clearly just a third-grade alchemist.

But for some reason, Huangfu Wuqin had absolute trust in Kong Ju.

Maybe she saw with her own eyes how Kong Jue had come along and created those incredible miracles.

I also hope Kong Jue can continue those miracles.

As expected, after hearing Kong Ju say those three words, Huangfu Wuqin's eyes became more alert, and then he smiled: "Then I'll leave it to you."

Huangfu Wuqin added, "I will help you stay outside the forbidden area, and not even let your master and Uncle Dongxian in."

After saying this, Huangfu Wuqin didn't give Kong Ju any time to react. He had already disappeared into the thunder and disappeared in the forbidden area.

Kong Ju just reacted and hurriedly said to the place where Huangfu Wuqin disappeared: "Hey, wait, I didn't say I can save him now."

If I come here in person, Lei Zu's injury will be healed, and Huangfu Ying and Dong Xian will definitely become suspicious.

There is absolutely no way this matter can be concealed.

But Kong Qi thought again: "It seems that Master has never asked about my affairs."

"Forget it! As long as I'm not in front of Master, I'm sure he won't come back to ask me."

"It's a good thing to have such a worry-free master."

Kong Ju shook his head for a while, then gently closed the door.

As his Ji Yue soul surged, the entire attic was sealed by his cultivation.

After confirming that there was no one else around, Kong Ju lightly touched Yuan Zhai's ring with his finger.

The jade bottle with a green glow was already in his hand.

The mouth of the bottle tilted slightly, and a jade-green pill rolled into Kong Ju's palm.

Instantly, the aroma of medicine filled the air and the vitality filled the entire room.

On the black wooden bed where Lei Zun was lying, there was a spiritual wood made of unknown material. After the vitality passed by, it miraculously welcomed spring and grew tender green branches.

"A fourth-grade elixir, the elixir of immortality." Looking at the elixir in his hand, Kong Ju murmured its name.

Then he held the pill and slowly walked towards Lei Zun.

The latter's rotten face gradually healed after Zhou Shangxiang used medicine.

Still looks like a teenager.

The sleeping Lei Zun looked as elegant and gentle as ever.

Gently placing the pill into Lei Zu's mouth, Kong Ju said softly, "Lei Zun, Xiao Kong is here to save you."

After a cup of tea.

Kong Ju exited the attic and met Huangfu Wuqin outside the gate of the forbidden area.

She stood at the edge of the forbidden barrier, and her slender waist, which was less than the width of a hand, made Kong Qi stare at her several times.

Just as she said just now, she was keeping watch for Kong Ju, so she didn't move around after she came out.

"Okay?" Seeing Kong Ju coming out so quickly, Huangfu Wuqin's delicate face suddenly showed suspicion.

"Yeah!" Kong Ju responded. Worried, he specifically reminded her, "Don't tell anyone that I was here."

After saying this, Kong Ju left the forbidden area without looking back.

The suspicion on Huangfu Wuqin's face did not subside.

So many alchemists from Wudong came to see Lei Zun and shook their heads. How could Kong Jue solve the problem in less than a cup of tea?

Huangfu Wuqin pursed her lips and hurried into the forbidden area to take a look in person.

A stick of incense later, she walked out of the forbidden area again with an expression of disbelief on her face.

Although Lei Zun did not wake up, his condition was obviously much better.

She had just used her soul to test it and could sense that Lei Zun's soul was growing at an incredible speed.

If before it was a candle in the wind, now it is the raging flame in the furnace.

Even though Huangfu Wuqin didn't understand alchemy, he could understand at this moment that Lei Zun's injuries had been completely stabilized.

All that's left is to take a few more days to recuperate, and then you will wake up.

"He really cured it!" Huangfu Wuqin tilted his head, with a dazed look in his eyes.

It was clearly her who asked Kong Ju to do this, but now that Kong Ju has cured her, she finds it hard to accept it for a while. (End of this chapter)
