Suddenly, Li Shimin looked at Fan Qinghui and said, "Three years ago, the General ordered you to search for the He Shi Bi jade. I wonder if you have made any progress by now?"
In response to Li Shimin's question, Fan Qinghui shook her head and said, "Since the death of the previous Demon Emperor, the He Shi Bi has disappeared. Nearly a hundred years have passed since then. Although my Cihang Jingzhai has been searching everywhere in recent years, we still haven't been able to find the He Shi Bi."
Upon seeing this, Li Shimin sighed and said, "It is said that the He Shi Bi jade has gathered the righteous energy of the world and is also a symbol of the emperor. Whoever obtains the He Shi Bi jade will obtain the world. If I could have this He Shi Bi jade in my hand, perhaps it would bring me and the Tang Dynasty good fortune."
As he spoke, Li Shimin suddenly looked at Fan Qinghui and said, "By the way, it is said that this He Shi Bi is like the Evil Emperor Relic of the Demonic Sect, containing extremely strong energy. If one can obtain this He Shi Bi and absorb its energy, it will be even more powerful than the Evil Emperor Relic!"
Upon hearing this, Fan Qinghui nodded and said, "That's right! According to the records of my Cihang Jingzhai, the energy and martial arts in the Evil Emperor's Relic are the natal essence of the Evil Emperors of all generations. Also, because the martial arts cultivated by the Evil Emperors of all generations are the same, the natal essence injected into the Evil Emperor's Relic can be said to come from the same source."
"This Evil Emperor Relic contains the life essence of several generations of Evil Emperors of the Demonic Sect. Once one can absorb all the life essence within, even an ordinary Grandmaster-level martial artist can reach the Perfection of the Celestial Realm."
"But this Evil Emperor Relic is itself forged from an extraterrestrial evil stone, containing demonic nature. In addition, the Evil Emperor Relic contains the life essence of the Evil Emperor of the Demonic Sect, and is also infused with the demonic nature of these Evil Emperors. Therefore, after absorbing the power in this Evil Emperor Relic, one will inevitably become possessed by demons, controlled by the demonic nature, and become a monster that devours people and only knows how to kill."
"The He Shi Bi is said to have originated from the side of a dragon vein, where it gathers the righteous energy of the world. Its energy is neutral and peaceful and can automatically absorb the power of heaven and earth for refinement. If one can absorb the energy in the He Shi Bi, although it cannot make one's cultivation break through significantly, it can make all the meridians in the body open. One day of cultivation is equivalent to several months for an ordinary person. Moreover, even if one has not entered the Celestial Realm, one can still gather the power of heaven and earth."
A glint flashed in Li Shimin's eyes as he said, "The Commander of the Bad Guys wants this He Shi Bi jade, could it be that he also wants it to break free of its shackles and enhance his own power?"
Fan Qinghui shook her head and said, "The commander already existed long before my master passed away. His power was profound, and I could not fathom how he would act."
Li Shimin continued, "Legend has it that the He Shi Bi contains the power of ultimate goodness, capable of purifying demonic nature. If someone were to obtain both the Evil Emperor's Relic and the He Shi Bi and use them together, would it be possible to absorb and refine the energy within the Evil Emperor's Relic while simultaneously cleansing the demonic nature within that energy with the He Shi Bi?"
Perhaps not expecting Li Shimin to have such a peculiar way of thinking, Fan Qinghui couldn't help but glance at Li Shimin in surprise.
However, considering Li Shimin's status, Fan Qinghui still truthfully said: "Theoretically speaking, it is feasible, but the process needs to be carefully considered. After all, the energy in the Evil Emperor's Relic is the guide, and the energy in the He Shi Bi is the positive. If the two energies are introduced into the body at the same time, once the positive and the negative clash, at best the meridians will reverse, and at worst the meridians will be completely severed."
Li Shimin pressed further, "What if one could control both of these energies simultaneously?"
Fan Qinghui shook her head and said, "I don't know. Such a thing has never happened before, and I couldn't have predicted it."
Upon seeing this, a glint flashed in Li Shimin's eyes.
Then, as his thoughts wandered, Li Shimin looked at Fan Qinghui and asked, "I wonder if this time, Fairy Master, did you arrive in Chang'an with Abbess?"
It was no secret that Li Shimin was fond of Consort Shi, so Fan Qinghui was naturally not surprised when Li Shimin mentioned Consort Shi at this time.
Fan Qinghui nodded in response, "That's right! However, Feixuan is close to breaking through today, so she went into seclusion three days ago when she arrived in Chang'an."
Then, Fan Qinghui looked at Li Shimin and said, "If Feixuan can break through today, Your Majesty will be able to see Feixuan when you enter Yang Gong's Treasure Vault tomorrow."
But as Fan Qinghui uttered these words, Li Shimin suddenly shook his head and said, "I may not go into Yang Gong's treasury with him tomorrow."
Fan Qinghui looked at Li Shimin in astonishment and asked, "Your Majesty, aren't you going?"
Li Shimin sighed and said, "Recently, the Yuwen family has been making frequent unusual moves. According to news from the Yuwen family, they have been mining extensively in the mines a few days ago. I suspect that the Yuwen family will have other plans. We need to deal with this matter first. Tomorrow, I will arrange for Li Jing to lead troops and two elders of my Li family at the Celestial Realm to enter Yang Gong's Treasure Vault."
Upon hearing Li Shimin's words, Fan Qinghui nodded slightly in agreement: "That's fine too."
Although Li Shimin was over thirty years old, his cultivation level was only at the late stage of the Innate Realm. With such strength, even if he entered Yang Gong's Treasure Vault with him, it wouldn't be of much use.
Even when facing Zhu Yuyan and others, he might have to be distracted to take care of Li Shimin.
All we need are soldiers from the Li Tang dynasty and experts at the Celestial Realm.
As for Li Shimin, it would be better for him not to go than to go.
At this moment, Li Shimin changed the subject and said, "By the way, the location of Yang Gong's treasure vault is well hidden. Even the Grand Marshal has been searching for it for the past few years. The fact that Yin Kui Sect was able to suddenly learn about Yang Gong's treasure vault is probably because of Wanwan and the others who were with Wanwan these past few days. Does the Abbess know anything about these people?"
Upon hearing this, Fan Qinghui pondered for a moment and then shook her head, saying, "Judging from the news from the Yin Kui Sect, Wanwan was disguised. It is likely that the people around her were also disguised, so their identities are naturally unknown."
