Chapter 22 Tan Qingyun is too stingy

"Hey, why are there only five element pills and five element spiritual fruits?"

What surprised Lu Changjing was that in the lower layers of the food box, in addition to the top-level Five Elements Pills, there were also some low-level spiritual fruits with all five elements, which were perfect for practicing the Five Elements Golden Body Technique.

It seems that Tan Qingyun felt that the Five Elements Pills were not enough, so she added some precious Five Elements Spirit Fruits.

Lin Yixin frowned and looked at Lu Changjing: "With the strength of the emperor brother, he shouldn't need this kind of thing, right?"

"It's not prepared for me, but to be given to other people." Lu Changjing explained. He couldn't say that he was a fake. Now his cultivation was limited, so he could only take the Five Elements Pill.

Lin Yixin curled her lips: "There's no need to ask Sister Qingyun to prepare it, just take some from the secret library."

"He is a genius I cultivated in secret. I don't want anyone to know about it, not even Eunuch Cao." Lu Changjing explained, specifically mentioning Cao Wenzhen's name.

Lin Yixin raised her eyebrows: "Emperor brother, is it true that Cao Wenzheng has put you under house arrest and won't let you go out casually?"

"That's not true."

Lu Changjing denied it hastily, lest Lin Yixin go looking for trouble with Cao Wenzheng, which would have been the end of him: "Because I boasted before that I could master the Cang Yang Technique in three years, Eunuch Cao has been very strict with me these days. He also wants me to master the Cang Yang Technique as soon as possible and pass on the royal family line, so he has been very strict with me."

"In addition to this matter, there is also the matter of Concubine Tan that is being kept from him. He must not be informed of your coming here, otherwise it will be difficult to explain in the future."

"I understand. Brother Emperor is afraid that too many people will come and he won't be able to handle them all."

Lin Yixin had the same idea as Tan Qingyun, and said with a sweet smile: "Don't worry, brother Emperor, the fewer people who know about this kind of thing, the better. I won't let anyone else know."

"I will also remind Sister Qingyun to keep her mouth shut, but Cao Wenzheng is really going too far. He is just a eunuch, but he dares to meddle in the affairs of his brother, the emperor. If it weren't for the good of Daning, I would have asked my father to teach him a lesson."

The power of King Heluo is not much inferior to Cao Wenzhen. In addition, he has a close relationship with the royal family and his status is higher than Cao Wenzhen. Naturally, Lin Yixin dares to say such words.

Lu Changjing smiled dryly and nodded. Now he didn't dare to let King Heluo teach Cao Wenzhen a lesson.

"But Tan Qingyun is so stingy that he only brought some ordinary medicines and low-level spiritual fruits. I will bring some good things to Brother Emperor later."

Glancing at the five-element pills and low-level spiritual fruits in the food box with disdain, Lin Yixin curled her lips and said, "Has Brother Emperor taken Silver Dragon Blood? My father has some. I'll ask him for some for Brother Emperor."

“This…” Although he was tempted, Lu Changjing still refused: “I am just making a casual move. I can’t let others know. Silver Dragon Blood is too precious and it’s easy for people to trace it back to me.”

Lin Yixin smiled and said, "Don't worry, Emperor brother. I will say that I took it and it won't involve you, so you don't have to worry."

"Forget about these trivial matters. Tan Qingyun has occupied the emperor brother for such a long time, I want it too."

……

Half an hour later, just when Lu Changjing was feeling uneasy and worried that Cao Wenzhen would come back at any time, Lin Yixin left.

They also left through the small hole in the skylight that Tan Qingyun discovered accidentally. Almost no one in the palace knew about this small hole in the skylight. If Tan Qingyun had not led the way and Lin Yixin had not followed secretly, they would not have discovered this great place.

He waved goodbye to Lin Yixin with a smile and licked his lips which were becoming increasingly sweeter, but Lu Changjing felt a little worried.

Another concubine knows about this matter, and the possibility of being exposed is even greater. Next, I must speed up my cultivation.

With a bitter face, he came to the dragon-carved wooden table and quietly quickened his practice speed, while he just flipped through the memorials casually.

Cao Wenzhen did not come back until the evening. By then, Lu Changjing had already tidied everything and did not notice anything unusual.

Even so, Cao Wenzhen still whipped him a few times and warned him again to be careful and not to betray others.

After dinner in the evening, he was immediately taken to the retreat chamber and locked up. After Lu Changjing locked the stone door, he took out the low-level spiritual fruit that Tan Qingyun brought, and prepared to use it to improve his cultivation level.

Tan Qingyun had obviously considered the issue of whether the warriors could bear it. According to Lu Changjing, the secret genius he cultivated was a top-level warrior and could only take the top-level Five Elements Pills for the time being.

Therefore, Tan Qingyun specially brought some low-level spiritual fruits with mild medicinal properties, which are milder than the thousand-year-old ginseng soup, so there should be no problem.

Lu Changjing ate a golden spirit seed, which was so crisp and refreshing that he couldn't stop eating it.

Soon, the surging medicinal power came roaring in. Although it was huge, it was not fierce and could indeed be absorbed by Lu Changjing.

"Get up!"

"Tiger's Thunder Sound!"

"Leopard's Thunder Sound!"

……

The Five Elements Boxing was operating at its peak, and the speed at which the medicinal power was digested was astonishing. Lu Changjing's cultivation level also advanced rapidly in the process.

Qi and blood increase dramatically, and the bone marrow is quickly tempered. The feeling of rapid progress is really addictive.

In one night, Lu Changjing had taken two low-level spiritual fruits and was about to complete his marrow training.

He did not rest during this period, and went outside at dawn to read the memorials and wait for Cao Wenzhen's instructions.

When Cao Wenzhen taught until the hour of Chen, which was around seven to nine in the morning in his previous life, he left the imperial study to deal with other matters.

As the commander-in-chief of the Embroidered Uniform Guard and the chief steward of tens of thousands of eunuchs in the harem, Cao Wenzhen had no idea how many things he had to deal with every day.

If Lu Changjing had not been a novice and prone to problems, Cao Wenzheng would not have been able to spare much time to accompany him every day.

Now that he saw that Lu Changjing was able to handle most situations on his own, he finally felt relieved and began to deal with the many things that had piled up during this period of time.

This also gave Lu Changjing an opportunity, and naturally also gave Tan Qingyun and Lin Yixin an opportunity.

Not long after Cao Wenzhen left, Lin Yixin, full of resentment, sneaked in again.

"I will come as many times as Tan Qingyun secretly came here before."

"No, more often than she has come."

"Brother Emperor, I brought several hundred ice grapes today. Let's enjoy the imported grapes."

……

Lu Changjing's face turned pale. There were hundreds of them. How long would it take to finish them? What if Cao Wenzhen found out?

Although he was very worried, Lu Changjing couldn't help himself when he saw Lin Yixin's delicate face without any flaws and her cherry lips that seemed to be about to bloom.

This is challenging his weak spot. How can a gentleman like him resist it?

Grabbing Lin Yixin's hand, the gentleman Lu Changjing quickly took her into the secluded secret room: "Hurry, hurry, brother likes to eat imported grapes the most."
