Chapter 226 Heartache



After Xu Jinhuan came out of the grain shop, he went straight to the Fifth Prince's Mansion, but after searching around, he didn't see Lei Tingjun.

After listening to the servants' conversation, I learned that Lei Tingjun went to the Taoist temple in the north of the city today.

Xu Jinhuan quickly found the exact location of the Taoist temple based on the map provided by the system. She used her lightness skills to quickly leave the Fifth Prince's Mansion.

After about a quarter of an hour, Xu Jinhuan arrived at the Taoist temple that the people below mentioned.

However, this Taoist temple was not quite what Xu Jinhuan had imagined. The gate of the temple was dilapidated, the houses inside were also very run-down, and there was not a single pilgrim.

If Xu Jinhuan had not gotten the news from the servants of the Fifth Prince's Mansion, he would never have guessed that Lei Tingjun would come to such a place.

Xu Jinhuan continued to use his invisibility ability and used his lightness skills to float into the Taoist temple.

After she entered several rooms, she found that only in one room there were a few little Taoist children reciting the Tao Te Ching, and the rest of the rooms were empty.

After searching for a while, Xu Jinhuan found the abbot's room. The room was quiet and no one was there.

After Xu Jinhuan checked, she found something strange. She lifted the abbot's bedding and found a secret passage with an open door. It seemed that the person who went in had not come out yet.

Xu Jinhuan sneaked into the secret passage. With the help of the candlelight on the wall of the secret passage, she quickly found Lei Tingjun and the Taoist temple master.

"Can this thing really restore this prince's virility?" Lei Tingjun looked at the crimson pill handed over by the temple master with disdain.

The old Taoist smiled mysteriously when he heard this, and said confidently: "No matter how much I say, it's just boasting. Your Highness will know the effect after you try it."

Although Lei Tingjun looked at Yaowan with disdain, he thought of his beloved Xu Youyou. For Youyou, he also had to be a strong man!

Thinking of this, Lei Tingjun closed his eyes and resolutely swallowed the crimson pill.

“Ugh~”

After Lei Tingjun swallowed it, he felt a strong smell of blood rushing into his throat, making him subconsciously want to vomit.

But before he could really spit out anything, the Taoist priest covered his mouth with a slap and said earnestly.

"Your Highness, there is only one of this in the world. If you spit it out, all your efforts will be wasted."

Lei Tingjun took a long time to swallow the disgusting fishy smell. He shook off the Taoist's hand in dissatisfaction and said nonchalantly.

"If it weren't for your meritorious service, I would have retrained you just for covering my face with your hands.

Besides, there are so many materials, it's not like you can't refine it anymore, so why make this prince feel uncomfortable?"

The old Taoist looked at Lei Tingjun speechlessly, but for the sake of his own future glory and wealth, he still patiently explained.

"Your Highness, it's not that I don't want to, but this material is indeed rare. It takes the heart blood of women born in ninety-nine yin years, yin months and yin hours to make this pill.

You sent your men to capture thousands of women before you could gather ninety-nine of them."

Lei Tingjun smiled evilly upon hearing this. He said arrogantly, "Hmph, when this prince ascends the throne, how many women's blood will I want?"

The old Taoist smiled flatteringly upon hearing this, knelt on the ground respectfully and shouted: "Then congratulate our emperor on his victory. Long live the emperor!"

Lei Tingjun nodded complacently and said with a smile: "My dear minister, please stand up. When I ascend to the throne, I will definitely appoint you as the Imperial Master."

A hint of satisfaction flashed in the old Taoist's eyes. When he was about to say something, he found that Lei Tingjun's face was getting redder, so he immediately said.

"Your Highness, please start practicing Qigong and regulating your breathing as soon as possible. The effect of this pill is even more powerful than I imagined."

Although Lei Tingjun frowned, he still sat in a clean place and began to regulate his breathing quietly.

When Xu Jinhuan entered the secret passage, she happened to hear about the girl's heart blood. She thought to herself that her previous investigation was correct and the girl's disappearance was indeed related to Lei Tingjun.

However, Xu Jinhuan was a little confused. Most people know that they should eat what they want to replenish what they need. Logically speaking, since Lei Tingjun has impotence, he should eat tonic foods like sheep's penis.

Why did he do the opposite and choose a woman with strong yin energy? Wasn't he afraid of the opposite effect?

Xu Jinhuan looked at Lei Tingjun with a hint of teasing. She really wanted to see what Lei Tingjun would look like after he completely absorbed the pill.

As for now, let’s first deal with this confusing old Taoist priest.

Xu Jinhuan quietly walked to the old Taoist, and without waiting for him to react, he raised his knife and slashed, and a head with a complete cut fell to the ground.

The old Taoist didn't even make a sound and he completely stopped breathing.

Xu Jinhuan carried the old Taoist's head and walked to Lei Tingjun. She put the bloody head in front of him, looking forward to Lei Tingjun's expression in a while.

Lei Tingjun, who was concentrating on regulating his breathing at this time, smelled a bloody odor, but he did not hear any sound of fighting around him, so he naturally did not think that anyone was killed.

I just thought that he had just taken the heart-blood pill and it left a shadow on him.

After an incense stick of time, Lei Tingjun finally recovered his breathing. He felt that he was full of energy and his martial arts seemed to have improved. He wished he could fight with others for three hundred rounds.

Just as he opened his eyes with surprise, the first thing that caught his eye was a bloody head.

The owner of the head was an old Taoist priest whom he was very familiar with.

Lei Tingjun looked around with a grim face. Killing his people in front of him was simply a slap in his face!

"Who did it? Come out and confess your crime, and I'll leave you with an intact body!"

After Lei Tingjun finished speaking, he subconsciously touched his neck, not for any other reason, but simply because he made a sound that he would never make in the past.

The voice was sharp and thin, and he had only heard it from eunuchs in the palace.

"What's going on?" Lei Tingjun looked at the old Taoist in shock, wanting to get a satisfactory answer.

Unfortunately, the old Taoist priest had passed away and could not answer any of his questions.

In fact, this old Taoist was not a real Taoist, but an old beggar who had picked up a piece of incomplete Taoist alchemy skills. His family was relatively well-off in his early years, so he could read a little.

Later, his family fell into poverty, and he was uneducated and unskilled, unable to do anything. In the end, he lost everything and had to become a beggar.

He had picked up the book on Taoist alchemy by chance, and had intended to trick someone into selling it, but he never expected that when he casually tried it, it actually saved a dying little beggar's life.

From that day on, the old beggar started to cheat people with the incomplete book of Taoist alchemy.

And Lei Tingjun is the lifelong meal ticket he found for himself.

However, because the book was an incomplete book on alchemy, he did not find a prescription suitable for Lei Tingjun's illness, but he found one that was said to greatly increase a person's martial arts skills.

In this way, the old Taoist chose to take a risk for his own glory and wealth...
