Chapter 70: Actual Combat Increases
With a combination of strong sticks and sweet dates, including the threat of his nine clans, Cai Gu was completely subdued and became a spy beside Cao Wenzhen.

In addition, the soul-picking hook can vaguely sense a person's thoughts through a wisp of his three souls and seven spirits, so Lu Changjing is not worried that Cai Gu and Cao Xiuyuan will betray him.

Even if they betrayed him, Lu Changjing would be able to know it in advance and escape from the palace in time to wait for a comeback.

However, given Cao Wen Zheng's behavior and character, anyone with a conscience would not be loyal to him.

As human beings, how many of us are willing to sell out thousands of our compatriots to demons and monsters in exchange for various resources and treasures?

Of course, there are people among the Jinyiwei and the eunuchs in the harem who are loyal to Cao Wenzhen. Cai Gu and Cao Xiuyuan still have to be careful when they take action later.

From Cai Gu, Lu Changjing gained a lot of spiritual weapons and resources, and upgraded all of his spiritual weapons to advanced levels.

With the bonus of this set of spiritual weapons, Lu Changjing's strength is not weak even among high-level masters.

Normally, these spiritual weapons are hidden by Lu Changjing in the Qingkong Divine Ring and will be taken out when needed.

After seeing off Cai Gu, who was in mixed emotions, Lu Changjing continued his practice.

With Cai Gu as the espionage supporter in the Embroidered Uniform Guard and Cao Xiuyuan as the espionage supporter in the Qianqing Palace, Lu Changjing's situation becomes increasingly safe.

Even if the calculation is proper, there is a possibility of attacking and killing Cao Wenzhen. However, it has not come to that stage yet. It is more important to continue to accumulate strength and there is no need to take risks so quickly.

Now, only more than half a year has passed, and there are still about two and a half years left before three years. Such a long time is enough for him to break through to the Grand Master level, or even a higher level.

It’s not too late to take action until you have overwhelming strength.

Moreover, among the traitorous forces where Cao Wenzhen and Ning Zhongyu belong, there is not only Cao Wenzhen as a grandmaster, but also the Minister of Personnel, the Minister of Justice and other grandmasters. Even if Cao Wenzhen is killed, there are still others.

Not only that, according to Cao Xiuyuan and Cai Gu, there are some old monsters hidden in the royal family. They are the last trump cards of the Daning royal family. These are all things that Lu Changjing needs to consider.

After all, it is a behemoth that has been passed down for tens of thousands of years. Although it has been declining in recent years, the foundation it possesses is not comparable to that of ordinary dynasties.

In Lu Changjing's opinion, only by breaking through the Grandmaster realm, stepping into a higher level, and possessing absolute strength can one completely take down the Daning Dynasty.

Before that, you still have to be careful. Unless you have to, it is better to hide.

After being able to practice with peace of mind, Lu Changjing's improvement became even faster.

Not long after, his physical cultivation broke through the shackles and reached the fifth-order master level.

After a few more days, Lu Changjing began to challenge the bottleneck of spirit refining. He also broke through in one fell swoop and stepped into the level of a fifth-level spirit refining master.

Their spirit, energy and soul were once again on par with each other, and they all reached the level of fifth-order grandmaster, even surpassing Ning Zhongyu.

According to Cao Xiuyuan and Cai Gu, Ning Zhongyu's Qi refining skills have already reached the sixth-order master level, his body refining skills have just reached the fourth-order master level, and his spirit refining skills are even worse, only at the third-order master level.

Even so, he has been hailed as a once-in-a-millennium genius emperor of the Da Ning Dynasty. Lu Changjing is only 22 years old this year, but he is better than Ning Zhongyu. I wonder if he can be considered a peerless genius.

He smiled faintly and didn't think any more about it. He had improved too much during this period of time. Although his foundation was solid, he was simply unable to adapt to the skyrocketing strength.

In this situation, Lu Changjing can't even exert half of his combat power, so he must adapt as soon as possible.

Moreover, compared with before, with Cao Xiuyuan as his assistant, Lu Changjing adapted faster and also gained a lot of combat experience and skills.

Before, he only focused on hard training and didn't dare to improve his experience and skills. Now he can finally improve his shortcomings in this area. From Cao Xiuyuan, Lu Changjing learned a lot of combat experience and skills, and his overall strength increased further. Only then did he realize how narrow-minded he was before.

If he does not make up for this shortcoming, even if he has a strong foundation and cultivates his spirit, energy and soul, he will not be able to cross the boundaries to fight the enemy in the future.

Fortunately, he realized this problem in time. Only by making up for it could he unleash his strongest combat power.

As for the eunuchs and palace maids around the imperial study, they have been bribed and threatened. They dare not leak any information here. Even if they find anything suspicious, they will not tell it to others.

"Brother Jing, I am here to show my respect."

While he was practicing that day, he heard someone sneaking in through the small hole in the skylight. He looked over following the voice and saw that it was Concubine Jin Xiao Yaoxin.

She was wearing a white palace dress, which was quite simple in combination, but it perfectly displayed the special temperament of a doctor.

Her face was gentle and picturesque, with two slightly drooping eyebrows, adding a touch of gentleness to her temperament.

The rouge is not deep and evenly applied, and the flowers have a faint fragrance.

The light eyebrows are like autumn water, and the jade-like skin is accompanied by the breeze.

There was a hint of shyness on her delicate little face, and I wonder what she was thinking about.

Although the food box in his hand was not big, it gave off a strong medicinal aroma, and it was obviously filled with various edible medicinal herbs.

Although the taste may not be as good as some spiritual fruits, spiritual wine, and spiritual meat, the effect is far superior. Obviously, Xiao Yaoxin did this for other reasons, not just because he likes to eat imported medicinal materials.

Throwing aside the pretentious memorial, Lu Changjing walked towards Xiao Yaoxin, picked her up while she was shy, and walked towards the back.

"Naonao is here. I have been waiting for you for a long time."

Feeling the warmth on her face, Xiao Yaoxin buried her little head in Lu Changjing's arms, not daring to raise her head.

Although there had been an exchange between imported delicacies, for Xiao Yaoxin, who was always elegant, this kind of thing was still quite embarrassing.

If Xiao Yaoxin didn't want to be outdone by Lin Yixin and Tan Qingyun, and if she didn't want to have the first prince, I'm afraid she wouldn't have come to him so eagerly.

However, when being with Xiao Yaoxin, Lu Changjing needs more guidance and asks Concubine Jin to import medicinal materials for him. He is not as proactive as Tan Qingyun and Lin Yixin.

The imported medicinal materials produced by Xiao Yaoxin not only have a sweet taste, but also a hint of medicinal fragrance, which makes people feel refreshed and has a unique taste.

Since traveling through time, Lu Changjing has tasted the imported delicacies of three concubines, including Tan Qingyun's saliva... No, the imported delicacies are mainly sweet, so sweet that people can't stop.

Lin Yixin's fragrance is mainly sweet, not strong, but long-lasting.

Xiao Yaoxin's scent carries a medicinal aroma that can make people clear-headed, but makes them unwilling to wake up.

Each has its own merits and characteristics.

Just after taking a few mouthfuls of the imported medicinal herbs prepared by Xiao Yaoxin, I heard a voice from outside: "Empress Yi has arrived!"
