Chapter 1436: Restricted Everywhere

"Hey, little friend Zhou, please don't make it public."

Feng Qishan waved his hand, signaling Zhou Yiqiao not to speak.

He waved his hand to disperse the palace maids and guards who had just walked in. After making sure that they had all left the bedroom, he spoke in a low voice.

"Hehe, I came back to ask, Mr. Zhou's talent in alchemy far exceeds that of ordinary people, does he have a master?"

Zhou Yiqiao was stunned when he heard this, and then shook his head.

"I have been alone since I was young. Although I have been fortunate enough to receive instruction from several seniors, I have gained most of my experience through my own exploration without a teacher."

When Feng Qishan heard this, a hint of joy flashed in his eyes. He took a step forward and said excitedly.

"That's great! I am the chief alchemist of Daxuantian. I am quite knowledgeable about alchemy. I wonder if you are willing to be my disciple?"

When Zhou Yiqiao heard Feng Qishan's proposal, he was shocked, and then he felt an irrepressible excitement.

Although he has the help of the Moonstone Space, he can improve the experience of each elixir through massive practice.

But no matter what, he lacks systematic learning and guidance after all. If he can become Feng Qishan's disciple, it will undoubtedly greatly improve his alchemy skills.

"Master Feng, you are the chief alchemist of the Great Xuantian. How can I dare to hope to become your disciple?"

Zhou Yiqiao said respectfully, with a hint of humility in his tone.

Feng Qishan waved his hand and smiled.

"Young friend Zhou, there is no need to be modest. I have seen your talent and potential."

"Moreover, during the battle at Canglong Ridge, your character and mind passed my test. If you are willing, I am willing to teach you everything I know and help you make further progress in alchemy."

Zhou Yiqiao was excited, knowing that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

But after all, he had already become a disciple of the Taoist Master Bai Gu, and it would be inappropriate to change his sect again, so he could only politely decline Feng Qishan's proposal.

But Feng Qishan seemed to have anticipated this and did not force him.

"You are not suitable to become my disciple in your current condition. Wait for a while until your injuries are healed before making a decision."

As he spoke, Feng Qishan took out a bottle of pills from his arms and handed it to Zhou Yiqiao.

"We have known each other for such a long time, but I don't think I have ever given you a gift. I will give this bottle of Xilingbao Pill to you, little friend Zhou."

When Zhou Yiqiao heard the name of Xiling Baodan, he was suddenly shocked.

Xiling Baodan is an extremely rare elixir for cultivation in the world of immortal cultivation!

This kind of elixir can not only help cultivators recover their cultivation quickly, but also has great benefits for the physical body.

As soon as Zhou Yiqiao arrived in Daxuantian, he paid attention to the Xilingbaodan sold on the market.

However, due to the extremely high difficulty in refining, it is a hot commodity with a high price but no demand even in the entire Daxuantian. Once it appears on the market, it will be bought at a high price and it will not be Zhou Yiqiao's turn to buy it.

"Master Feng, this is too valuable! I cannot accept it."

He quickly declined, with a hint of panic in his tone.

Hearing this, Feng Qishan waved his hand and smiled.

"It's just a bottle of elixir. I don't care about it. Just accept it."

Having said that, without waiting for Zhou Yiqiao to refuse, he stuffed the jade bottle into his hand and turned and left.

After watching Feng Qishan leave the bedroom, Zhou Yiqiao looked down at the jade bottle in his hand and couldn't help feeling emotional.

He had only met the chief alchemist of Daxuantian a few times, but he did not expect that the other party would value him so much.

This shows that the master really wants to take him as his disciple.

Zhou Yiqiao held the jade bottle and pondered secretly.

Although Taoist Bai Gu was a hands-off boss, he was very kind to his disciple. If he betrayed him just to become Feng Qishan's disciple, not only Taoist Bai Gu, but even Zhou Yiqiao himself would feel despised.

"Ugh."

With a sigh, Zhou Yiqiao gave up the idea.

In his opinion, unless Feng Qishan was willing to give up the title of Master, the two of them were doomed to be apart.

"Forget it. Now that things have come to this, there is no point in saying more. Let's just heal our wounds first."

Zhou Yiqiao shook his head, put aside all distracting thoughts, took out a Xiling Pill, swallowed it and prepared to practice.

As soon as the pill entered his throat, it instantly turned into an indescribable spiritual power and began to wreak havoc in Zhou Yiqiao's body!

This spiritual power was extremely pure and had mild medicinal properties. As soon as it appeared, it began to repair the last damaged parts of Zhou Yiqiao's meridians and acupoints.

Zhou Yiqiao only felt a warm current flowing through his body, and the wounds left by the battle seemed to be healed gradually by the warm sunshine.

He closed his eyes and concentrated on guiding this spiritual power to repair every corner of his body.

......

Time passed slowly, and in a blink of an eye, another three days had passed.

Zhou Yiqiao was still in seclusion until the morning of the fourth day, when he let out a long breath and opened his eyes.

He found that most of the injuries in his body, including his flesh, had basically healed. Although it was not yet as good as before entering Canglong Ridge, it was much better than the time when he was unconscious.

"The next step is to slowly recuperate the body."

Zhou Yiqiao murmured to himself, he stood up, stretched his muscles, and felt relaxed all over.

Conditioning the body is a time-consuming process. Zhou Yiqiao was not in a hurry and simply thought about leaving the palace where he had stayed for so long to check on Luo Lishang's condition.

As he spoke, Zhou Yiqiao straightened his clothes, asked the servants at the door and found out where Luo Lishang was in seclusion, then he quickly walked towards where he was.

Perhaps because the Immortal Emperor Luo Fengtian had already greeted everyone, Zhou Yiqiao was walking alone in the Immortal Emperor Palace without anyone coming forward to disturb him.

His steps were brisk, and his heart was filled with worry about Luo Lishang's safety.

Although the palace maid who served him had said that Luo Lishang was in seclusion to recover, Zhou Yiqiao had never seen it with his own eyes, so he always felt uneasy.

After walking with his head down for a whole incense stick of time and passing through nearly a hundred corridors, Zhou Yiqiao finally arrived at the bedroom where Luo Lishang was in seclusion.

He was about to knock on the door, but found that it was not closed tightly and a faint light could be seen coming from inside through the gap.

He gently opened the door and walked into the bedroom.

Inside the bedroom, Luo Lishang was sitting on the edge of the bed, holding a phonograph crystal in his hand, seemingly listening to something.

She looked much more energetic than before Zhou Yiqiao fell into a coma. Although her face was still pale, her eyes had regained some spirit and were no longer as cold and inhumane as before.

Hearing the noise, Luo Lishang turned his head.

Seeing that it was Zhou Yiqiao, Luo Lishang immediately showed a knowing smile on his face.

"Mr. Zhou, you are here."

Zhou Yiqiao nodded, turned around, closed the door of the bedroom, walked forward and asked with concern.

"How do you feel, Princess? Are you recovering well?"

Luo Lishang nodded slightly.

"Thanks to the divine deer guide refined by several masters, I have now escaped from the dangerous state. I just need to rest for a while to recover from the remaining injuries. Thank you for your concern, Mr. Zhou."

Her eyes fell on the jade bottle in Zhou Yiqiao's hand, and a hint of doubt flashed in her eyes.

"This is......"

Zhou Yiqiao then realized that he was still holding the Xiling Pill given to him by Feng Qishan. He smiled and explained.

"This is the Xiling Pill given to me by Master Feng. It will be very helpful for recovering from my injuries."

"I came here to bring one to Her Royal Highness the Princess, to help Her Royal Highness recover as soon as possible."

After saying that, Zhou Yiqiao opened the jade bottle, took out a pill full of spiritual power, and placed it in front of Luo Lichang.

Luo Lishang raised her jade hand and looked at the Xiling Pill falling into her palm, a hint of envy flashed in her eyes.

"Master Feng's elixirs have always been precious. Apart from my father, they are rarely given to others. Master Zhou is really lucky."

Zhou Yiqiao smiled and didn't say much, but changed the subject.

"Princess, does the phonograph crystal in your hand contain any important information?"

Luo Lishang's expression changed slightly. She sighed and handed the voice-recording crystal to Zhou Yiqiao.

"During the time we were unconscious, the government and the people of Daxuantian were in chaos. These are some important events and intelligence recorded by my seventh brother. Please listen to them."

Zhou Yiqiao took the phonograph crystal, put it to his ear and listened carefully.

Luo Xingyu's voice came from the crystal, narrating in detail what had happened while they were unconscious, including the revelation of the conspiracy between the Sheng and Rong families, and how the Immortal Emperor Luo Fengtian quickly took measures to stabilize the situation.

As Luo Xingyu spoke, Zhou Yiqiao's brows gradually furrowed. He realized that the situation in Daxuantian was far more complicated than he had imagined.

The Eight Pillar States were deeply rooted in the Great Xuantian, involving the family interests of many high-ranking officials in the court. Even in the face of such irrefutable evidence, many people came forward to ask Luo Fengtian to calm down and save the lives of Sheng Kaiyao and Rong Zeqi.

For any powerful person who is independent of the Great Mysterious Heaven, such a thing can be suppressed easily.

But the problem is that the Luo royal family, to which Luo Fengtian belongs, is the biggest beneficiary of this feudal structure.

If he ignored these conflicts of interest and insisted on executing the leaders of the Sheng and Rong families, it would probably cause unrest in the government and the country, and ultimately damage the interests of the Luo royal family.

"So now all we need is a 'sharp blade' that can help the Immortal Emperor solve these troubles?"

Zhou Yiqiao returned the sound crystal to Luo Lishang and said thoughtfully.

Luo Lishang nodded and sighed helplessly.

"Although the emperor has delayed this matter until the court meeting in half a month, it is only a delaying tactic. At present, there is still no way to completely destroy the Sheng and Rong families."

She looked worried and obviously troubled by the situation her father was facing.

After all, no matter what, she, Luo Lishang, directly benefited from the existence of the Luo royal family.

"Zhou does have some ideas."

Just when Luo Lishang was at a loss, Zhou Yiqiao seemed to have thought of something, touched his nose, and said lightly.
