Chapter 338: The Treasure for Overcoming the Tribulation
This treasure was presented by the concubine Gao Ruoruo, but it came from the Gao family behind her.
However, the Gao family did not know the true value of this treasure, nor did they know what its effect was. They only speculated that its value was extraordinary.
When the Gao family obtained this treasure, they did not receive any relevant instructions, nor could they activate this treasure, so it was normal that they were not clear about the situation.
However, with Lu Changjing's strength, he was able to barely activate it. In addition, he had read many ancient books and studied them carefully before he was sure that this treasure was a treasure for overcoming tribulations.
Sky Thunder Bead!
It is a top-level mystical weapon, and an extremely rare tribulation-crossing mystical weapon. After wearing the Sky Thunder Pearl, when going through the Sky Thunder Tribulation, the power of the Sky Thunder Tribulation can be greatly weakened. Although its value cannot catch up with the Heart Demon Pearl, it is not much different.
It is also a reusable mysterious weapon, but after each tribulation, it takes a long time to release the heavenly thunder absorbed inside, otherwise it cannot be used again.
Although Lu Changjing is not afraid of heavenly thunder, having the Heavenly Thunder Pearl can provide him with an extra layer of protection. If he encounters any abnormal situation, he can use the Heavenly Thunder Pearl to save his life.
It is better to be safe than sorry. Who knows what will happen when you are going through the tribulation? Even Lu Changjing cannot guarantee it.
Lu Changjing had never thought that a beautiful girl in the palace could bring him such an amazing treasure.
Gao Ruoruo was also one of the successful beauties in the previous audition, ranking in the top 20. After receiving the Heavenly Thunder Pearl, Lu Changjing immediately summoned her to the imperial study.
Gao Ruoruo quickly came to the imperial study, and when Lu Changjing saw the girl, he was slightly stunned.
She was wearing a white dress with butterfly patterns embroidered on it. Her black hair was lightly tied up with a butterfly hairpin. On her forehead was a butterfly carved from an overnight pearl, emitting a faint glow.
She has lightly drawn eyebrows and no makeup on her face, but her stunning beauty cannot be concealed. A crystal necklace around her neck further highlights her collarbone, and a white jade bracelet on her wrist brings out her snow-white skin, and a pair of gilded shoes on her feet are decorated with gems.
Her beautiful eyes moved as she stepped lightly into the imperial study, her skirt fluttering like a pale butterfly that had lost its breath in the darkness. When she saw Lu Changjing, she managed to raise a smile, as ethereal and brilliant as fireworks, and bowed slightly: "Greetings, Your Majesty."
There were traces of tears at the corners of her eyes. Even after she had tidied herself up, it still couldn't hide the tear marks and the slightly swollen eye circles.
This is what made Lu Changjing stunned. Moreover, this girl looked very much like the star named Gao Yuanyuan in his previous life, but she was also a super enhanced version of her. Whether it was her appearance, temperament, skin... she was able to crush the star without leaving any residue. It can be seen that there is a huge gap between the two.
If Gao Yuanyuan's score is 99, Gao Ruoruo's score is at least 3,000. The difference between the two is too great, and the obvious gap can be seen at a glance.
In his previous life, Lu Changjing also liked Gao Yuanyuan very much, but at that time he could only look at her. He did not expect to meet Gao Ruoruo in this life.
The two have the same surname and their names are somewhat similar. It is not known whether it is the influence of a parallel world, which makes Lu Changjing speculate a little.
He had sensed something during the fluctuations of the soul-stealing technique, and his expression changed slightly.
Lu Changjing walked down from the dragon table, came to Gao Ruoruo, and helped her up: "Ruoruo, did anything happen to you?"
"I...I...I'm fine. Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern." Gao Ruoruo's face changed slightly and she spoke stutteringly. She did not dare to tell Lu Changjing the truth. She was afraid that this would burden Lu Changjing and make him feel bad.
Lu Changjing touched her swollen eyes and said, "Okay, then I won't ask any more questions. Thank you for your Heavenly Thunder Pearl. It is very useful to me. From today on, you will be one of the eight main wives, Shu Fei. At the same time, my father-in-law can be posthumously named Heavenly Thunder King, and my mother-in-law can be granted a first-class imperial decree."
Hearing this, Gao Ruoruo was shocked and looked at Lu Changjing in astonishment. She then realized that Lu Changjing might know the truth. Finally, she could no longer hold back and bowed in tears, saying, "Thank you, Your Majesty. I am honored."
From Gao Ruoruo's memory, Lu Changjing learned that her father Gao Ping risked his life to enter a dangerous place in order to gain her favor. Although he finally obtained the Heavenly Thunder Pearl, he died at home due to serious injuries.
It was precisely because the origin of the Sky Thunder Pearl was stained with her father's blood that Gao Ruoruo did not dare to say it out loud, fearing that Lu Changjing would think she was trying to gain sympathy, which might affect her chances of gaining Lu Changjing's favor.
This was her father's last wish before he died. Gao Ruoruo wanted to help her father fulfill it even at the risk of her life, so that she and her family could gain glory.
Through the soul-stealing technique, Lu Changjing learned about Gao Ruoruo's worries and her father's wishes. In addition, the Sky Thunder Pearl was indeed of great use to him, which was why he rewarded her so heavily.
However, Gao Ruoruo and others did not know that compared with the value of the Sky Thunder Pearl, this reward was nothing.
If possible, Lu Changjing is willing to give up half of the Jiuzhou Alliance in exchange for this Heavenly Thunder Pearl. I believe that many Xuanzuns will do the same, and even give up more things.
However, although he only gave them this much reward, Lu Changjing would make it up to the Gao family and Gao Ruoruo in the future.
The Gao family did not know the specific value of the Sky Thunder Pearl, nor did they know its function. They only knew that it was not an ordinary treasure, and speculated that it was most likely a divine artifact.
It is precisely because of this that Gao Ruoruo was surprised when Lu Changjing gave such a reward.
The rewards for Gao Ruoruo and the Gao family were quickly awarded, shocking not only the harem but also the entire court and the country.
No one expected that just a bead could make Gao Ruoruo one of the eight queens, and her deceased father was posthumously named the Thunder King, and her mother was awarded the first-class imperial decree. The entire Gao family also rose in status and received a large amount of resources and treasures. Gao Ruoruo's eldest and second brothers were even awarded generals, and Lu Changjing also rewarded them with a system of martial arts and resources that suited them.
When I have time later, I will help them shave their hair and cleanse their marrow. If they have good talent, I will even prepare treasures for them to help them break through the shackles of gods and demons.
Although Gao Ping's life could not be saved, such a grand reward also dispelled the haze of the Gao family and fulfilled Gao Ping's last wish.
After all, the reason why Gao Ping risked his life to enter the dangerous place was to obtain the treasure and present it to Lu Changjing in exchange for his daughter's future.
Now Lu Changjing not only gave Gao Ruoruo a future, but also gave the entire Gao family a future. Even if Gao Ping knew about this in his afterlife, he would probably be able to rest in peace.
The process of marrying one of the Eight Queens is quite complicated, and this is under the imperial system. If it is promoted to a divine dynasty, the process will be even more complicated.
But at that time she was no longer a concubine, but a divine concubine.
Lu Changjing had no intention of changing these rules and procedures. Since they exist in the world and are used by various countries, there must be a reason for them to exist.
Whether it is to highlight the emperor's status or to express his importance to the queen, it is very important.
The most Lu Changjing could do was to simplify some of the time-consuming processes. After all, what he lacked most now was time.
After the imperial edict was issued, Lu Changjing quickly began the process of becoming the queen with Gao Ruoruo. During this period, Lu Changjing also learned that Gao Ruoruo's sister Gao Yuanyuan was also in the palace. It was she who brought the Sky Thunder Pearl into the palace and gave it to Gao Ruoruo, who presented it to Lu Changjing.
This made Lu Changjing a little surprised. He wondered who the celebrity surnamed Gao in the parallel world was, Gao Ruoruo or Gao Yuanyuan? It should be whichever one they looked most like.
But after meeting Gao Yuanyuan, Lu Changjing fell silent again, because this Gao Yuanyuan looked very similar to Gao Yuanyuan, or it could be said that the two sisters looked like they were cast from the same mold.
After asking, I found out that Gao Ruoruo and Gao Yuanyuan are twin sisters, Gao Ruoruo is the older sister and Gao Yuanyuan is the younger sister.
Gao Ruoruo and Gao Yuanyuan both have a very good relationship with their father. Now their father has risked his life to get the Sky Thunder Pearl for his daughters' future. Before he died, he was worried that Gao Ruoruo would be depressed, so he asked Gao Yuanyuan to enter the palace to accompany Gao Ruoruo.
It is precisely because of this that Gao Yuanyuan is also in the palace.
Although he has some thoughts about the twin sisters, Lu Changjing is not such a casual person. As an affectionate and loyal emperor, he naturally will not like every one he sees.
The reason he was able to accept Gao Ruoruo as his love was because of the Heavenly Thunder Pearl, so he gave her another piece of his heart against his conscience. How could he possibly give another piece to Gao Yuanyuan?
A few days later, in Ruoyuan Palace, Lu Changjing was helping the sisters Gao Ruoruo and Gao Yuanyuan to shave their hair and cleanse their marrow.
With his left hand on Gao Ruoruo's back and his right hand on Gao Yuanyuan's back, he poured the power of heaven and earth and the energy of gods and demons into the two sisters' bodies, helping them to consolidate their cultivation foundation, improve their talents, and advance their cultivation realm...
Originally, he was only planning to help Gao Ruoruo shave her hair and cleanse her marrow, but the two sisters slept in the same bed. Considering Gao Ping's contribution, he also planned to take good care of the Gao family.
He was even prepared to help Gao Ruoruo's two brothers shave their hair and cleanse their marrow, not to mention her sister Gao Yuanyuan. Since they happened to be together again, he might as well shave their hair and cleanse their marrow together.
So Lu Changjing began to help the twin sisters shave their hair and cleanse their marrow, one in each hand.
With Lu Changjing's current strength, let alone shaving the hair and cleansing the marrow of two people at the same time, even if he shaves the hair and cleanses the marrow of dozens of people at the same time, there will be no problem. The only difference is that the foundation will be damaged more seriously and it will take more time to recover.
However, as long as the number of people undergoing hair removal and marrow cleansing does not exceed ten per day, they can basically recover on the same day.
Every time Lu Changjing shaved his hair and cleansed his marrow, he would choose to do it at night, a few hours before midnight. This way, after shaving his hair and cleansing his marrow, he would be able to recover quickly as midnight passed.
If we ignore this time, even with the characteristics of super recovery, it would be difficult to recover in one day. After all, this would damage the foundation and even the soul.
But this kind of hair removal and marrow washing cannot infuse the Nine Yang Qi, unless it is done through mouth-to-mouth intercourse, which can infuse the Nine Yang Qi, or it can be done by consummating the marriage.
The Nine Yang Qi is extremely yang and pure. It can only be infused into the other person's body through the mouth and good brothers. It won't work through other places.
Lu Changjing can do this to Gao Ruoruo, but not to Gao Yuanyuan. After all, Gao Yuanyuan is his sister-in-law, not his woman.
So when infusing the Nine Yang Qi, Lu Changjing only followed Gao Ruoruo, but what he didn't expect was that, perhaps as if attracted by the Nine Yang Qi, Gao Yuanyuan also came over and grabbed a sip.
