Chapter 12 Why are your lips broken?
There are three levels of Qi and blood, and then three levels of external forging.

This stage corresponds to intermediate warriors from level three to level six.

Entering the second level of external forging means that Lu Changjing has entered the level of a fifth-level warrior.

The effect of the top-grade ordinary medicine Five Elements Pills was even better than he had expected.

After taking only a few pills, his cultivation level broke through a small realm. If he took all the rest, he would at least be able to enter the realm of inner cultivation.

It was also thanks to Lu Changjing's physique that could withstand the power of top-level ordinary medicines, otherwise the improvement speed would not have been so fast.

After the breakthrough, the next step is consolidation and adaptation.

However, due to his strong physique which is growing every day, his foundation is extremely stable and it does not take much time to consolidate and adapt.

Lu Changjing also discovered that while his physical fitness was improving, he was not only able to recover from his injuries, but also consolidate his foundation for cultivation.

You have to know that when he just came through, his blood vessels, dantian, etc. were all destroyed, making it impossible for him to practice at all.

Even so, under the effect of the immortal demonic body, as his physical condition improved, he could easily repair such serious injuries.

Under normal circumstances, only treasures at the level of magic pills and magic medicines or above can repair his injuries.

However, the immortal demonic body healed his injuries so easily, and his physical fitness only increased slightly at that time.

As soon as I thought of this, I noticed a piece of information emerging in my mind. It turned out that with the improvement of my physical fitness, the third characteristic of the immortal body awakened.

The tree has deep roots!

As the name suggests, it can make Lu Changjing's foundation as tangled as a big tree, with the most amazing cultivation root system.

Even if your foundation is unstable due to taking too many panaceas, such hidden dangers can be eliminated as your physical fitness improves.

This means that Lu Changjing doesn't have to worry too much and can absorb a large amount of medicinal power to improve his own talents.

With a smile on his face, Lu Changjing took another Five Elements Pill and began to practice.

A few days later, Tan Qingyun came to see him secretly again.

"Um……"

With a muffled groan, Lu Changjing let go of Tan Qingyun. Looking at the girl's slightly swollen pink lips, he couldn't help but take out the ointment and apply it.

"Your Majesty, haven't you mastered the art of hiding your yang yet?" Tan Qingyun said helplessly, leaning in Lu Changjing's arms, feeling her underwear a little wet.

Feeling the newly introduced Cang Yang Technique, Lu Changjing said helplessly: "Didn't I say it would take another three years? Only a few days have passed."

"It's so slow. I really want Your Majesty to come to my bedroom immediately so that we can have a prince sooner." There was a glimmer of longing in Tan Qingyun's beautiful eyes.

She thought to herself that if she could give birth to a prince directly, preferably the first prince, she might have the possibility of becoming the mother of the country.

The position of the master of the harem is still vacant.

Although she was a little naive, she also understood the importance of being the master of the harem.

Seeing Tan Qingyun's longing look, Lu Changjing felt a little helpless. Do you think I don't want to do this?

However, Cao Wenzhen is eyeing me covetously from outside, and Zang Yangshu is causing chaos from inside, so I can only be a Liu Xia Hui for the time being.

After seeing off the reluctant Tan Qingyun, Lu Changjing had just flipped through the memorials when he heard Cao Wenzheng's voice. The other party walked in from outside with a gloomy face. It was unknown what had irritated him again. His temper had not been very good these days.

"Snapped……"

Even though Lu Changjing was reading the memorials honestly, he was still hit on the thigh by a burst of energy from a distance: "I've been away for a long time, and you've only read a few memorials. Are you being lazy again?"

"Please forgive me, Lord Cao. These memorials are a little difficult to understand, so I took a while longer to read them." Lu Changjing explained, suppressing his anger.

Cao Wenzheng glanced at him and was about to speak, but he seemed to have discovered something and his expression became even uglier: "What happened to your lip? Was it bitten by someone?"

Lu Changjing felt a chill in his heart. Could it be that he had left some flaws when he was being intimate with Concubine Zhen Tan Qingyun just now?

But he had clearly cleaned it thoroughly, so how could there be any loopholes?

Suddenly, he thought of something and hurriedly explained with a dry laugh: "Master Cao, you are joking. After you left, I have been staying in the imperial study and have never gone out. I have not even had contact with outsiders. How could my lips be bitten by someone?"

"I think I bit it accidentally when I was flipping through the memorials. These memorials are a bit too difficult."

"I thought you wouldn't dare to go out." Cao Wen Zheng nodded and didn't pursue the matter any further.

All the people outside the imperial study were his, so he naturally knew whether anyone had entered the imperial study.

Since no one came in, it is very likely that he bit his lips himself, as Lu Changjing said.

After talking to Lu Changjing about the memorials for a while, Cao Wenzhen left again. Ever since there were rumors inside and outside the palace that he had placed the emperor under house arrest, he did not dare to stay in the imperial study all the time.

In order to dispel the suspicions of outsiders, he also asked Lu Changjing to show up as much as possible to meet the concubines and ministers who came to visit.

After Cao Wenzhen left, Lu Changjing immediately went to the mirror to see what was happening to his lips.

After a careful inspection, I found that there was indeed a small wound, probably caused by Tan Qingyun biting me when they were passionate.

However, even he didn't notice such a small wound, but it was discovered by Cao Wenzhen.

As expected of a Grandmaster of the tenth level of Meridian Forging, he is indeed very sharp-eyed and sharp-eared. It seems that I have to be more careful in the future and must not let him discover what is going on between me and Tan Qingyun.

Ultimately, it's all his fault for not being able to determine his fate. With the golden finger he currently possesses, he should have just stayed hidden for years or even decades.

Wait until your physical fitness is improved to thousands or even tens of thousands times that of an ordinary person and you have unrivaled defense, then do something you like.

However, after two lifetimes as a human being, his self-control was pretty good, but he couldn't withstand the stunning beauties of the concubines in the harem, which was beyond his control.

No wonder people in my previous life said that sugar-coated bullets are powerful. Now it seems that they are true.

But if he were to completely cut off contact with Tan Qingyun now, he would still be reluctant to do so when he thought of the sweet and refreshing feeling when love comes.

Even if this kind of love is getting on the bus first and buying the ticket later, he is still a fake, but what does love have to do with this?

Just like many people have said, love has nothing to do with age, height, nationality, appearance... and of course it has nothing to do with getting on the bus first and buying the ticket later or pretending to be the emperor.

After thinking about it for a while, Lu Changjing continued to read the memorials, while quietly practicing the Five Elements Golden Body Technique to continuously improve his own cultivation level.

Before he had practiced for long, he heard a eunuch outside shouting, "The Queen Mother has arrived!"

Lu Changjing was stunned. Cao Wen Zheng was not there at the moment, and Hua Yanqiu came alone. Should he let her in?
