The door of the pill room in Return to Sun Courtyard was tightly shut.
The entire Return to Sun Courtyard had become a forbidden area. Chun Lan and Xia Zhu took turns guarding outside, and no one was allowed to enter.
The temperature in the courtyard was extremely high. An ordinary person would probably not be able to withstand it for even fifteen minutes.
After a long time, even Xiantian experts would be roasted into jerky.
For five days and five nights, Liu Hao did not leave the pill room at all.
The Breakthrough Pill was not difficult to refine, but it required a long time. Liu Hao could only wait.
On the night five days later, the moon was shining brightly and the stars were swaying in the sky.
All of a sudden, several beams of starlight silently gathered in the Return to Sun Courtyard.
Under the starlight, the temperature in Return to Sun Yard began to drop. Chun Lan, who was standing guard outside the yard, immediately realized that Liu Hao had finished refining pills.
This was not the first time she had seen Liu Hao refine pills, nor was it the first time she had been a guard.
At this moment, Xia Zhu, Qiu Ju, and Dong Mei walked over at the same time and quietly stood guard outside the courtyard.
A moment later, the door to the pill room opened. A rich medicinal fragrance floated out of the pill room, refreshing the heart and mind.
"Success!"
The four of them said in their hearts at the same time.
They had never thought that they would fail. How could their master fail?
Liu Hao walked out of the alchemy room with a moist smile on his face. He was holding two jade bottles, one big and one small.
Not to mention the pills in the bottle, just the jade bottle itself was a valuable item.
The Breakthrough Pill in the bottle was a priceless treasure that could make people in the martial arts world fight to the death.
If Liu Hao wanted to mess up the martial arts world, he did not need any tricks. He only needed to throw a few of these Breakthrough Pills out, and the martial arts world would definitely be able to kill them until their blood flowed like a river.
Liu Hao put away the small jade bottle. There were three Breakthrough Pills in the small bottle. They were for Emei.
Then, he passed the large jade bottle to Qiu Ju." There are nine Breakthrough Pills in the bottle. Store them in the warehouse. You can distribute them if you need them. There's no need to ask me."”
Qiu Ju immediately accepted the order.
A cauldron of pills could produce twelve pills. If a first-grade Xiantian took one pill, he would have a 70% chance of becoming a grandmaster.
For those below the Inborn Realm of the First Stage, taking one pill would guarantee a breakthrough.
Therefore, this pill was called the Breakthrough Pill.
However, he had just refined the Breakthrough Pill, and there were still remnants of Nascent Soul fire in it, so he could not take it for the time being.
If he ate it rashly, he would probably be burned to ashes by the Nascent Soul's fire.
The pill still needed to be nurtured in the jade bottle for 49 days. It could only be consumed after the Nascent Soul's fire energy had completely dissipated.
In Liu Hao's opinion, even if Extinction's luck was bad, he should be able to become a Grandmaster with three Breakthrough Pills.
If it still didn't work, then he still had something else to do, but it would be relatively more troublesome.
Qiu Ju put away the jade bottle." Master, the envoy His Majesty sent to the Great Tang three days ago has already set off.”
Liu Hao nodded." The moon is pretty bright tonight. Let's go to the pavilion in the middle of the lake to admire the moon." Chun Lan played the zither, Xia Zhu made tea for the old master, and Dong Mei brought some snacks over.”
"Yes, Master!"
A few of them agreed with smiles on their faces, and the group of them headed towards the pavilion in the middle of the lake.
Qiu Ju knew her master's temper, so she sat down at the pavilion in the middle of the lake to talk slowly.
A melodious zither sound came from the pavilion in the middle of the lake again. Chun Lan's zither skills were passed down from Liu Hao. Although her mastery was still lacking, she was much better than most zither players.
The fragrance of the tea slowly drifted out and blended into the mist.
The tea leaves were plucked by Liu Hao from an old tea tree in the remote mountains. He personally stir-fried the tea leaves. During the stir-frying process, spiritual energy was integrated into the tea leaves. It was impossible to drink in the outside world. Even the royal tribute tea could not compare to it.
"How many people did they send?" Liu Hao took a sip of tea and asked slowly.
Qiu Ju responded," Ten people, led by Liu Dan.”
If Liu Dan led the team, there would be no problem.
There were four teams under Qiu Ju. Each team had nine people, and each team had a team leader.
? True Loyalty was the name of these four people. They were Liu Chi, Liu Dan, Liu Zhong, and Liu Xin.
Qiu Ju had sent Liu Dan's team to pick up the people from the Great Tang Empire.
Liu Hao continued to ask," Have you investigated the woman named Cui Ziyun?”
"The time was too short, so we only managed to find a part of it.”
"Cui Ziyun is the daughter of an official of the Great Tang. She was very beautiful, studied and wrote poetry, and was quite famous locally.”
"A few days ago, because of a crime, Cui Ziyun's house was raided. According to the laws of the Great Tang, Cui Ziyun will be sent to a certain official's house to become a prostitute.”
"Last year, Cui Ziyun came to Daliang once. At that time, His Majesty was also patrolling the people. The two of them met and spent some time together.”
"Later, there was a flood in Liang Dong. His Majesty rushed over to deal with it, so he separated from Cui Ziyun and never met again.”
"However, in recent years, His Majesty has been asking people to inquire about Cui Ziyun.”
After all, it had only been a few days, and the information was not complete.
He did not know Cui Ziyun's exact location in the Great Tang, nor did he know which family she would be sent to as a prostitute.
However, once a woman became a prostitute, her fate would be more miserable.
From then on, they became goods and were no longer free.
It was common for officials of the Great Tang to ask for a prostitute.
Although it wasn't exactly a taste of red lips, it was normal for Shi Buyi to change his master. He wasn't much better than the women in the brothel, and his status was even lower.
Liu Hao couldn't help but laugh after hearing that." It seems that my brother is really interested. There are so many beauties in the harem, yet he still thinks about those outside.”
"That's good. It's good that you like it. It's rare for you to be an emperor for a lifetime. You have to do what you like to do. It's fine to be willful occasionally.”
Liu Hao doted on his younger brother.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have personally taken action back then and sent him to the throne.
Chun Lan and Xia Zhu looked at each other as if to say," Old Master, you're about the same.
Qiu Ju continued," Zhao Minjun's team arrived at Shaoliang today. They should have been prepared. They bought a courtyard and moved in.”
"There are a total of 20 people with him. There are a few experts among them. The more famous ones are the Xuanming Elders.”
"According to the plan, they will enter the palace tomorrow to meet His Majesty to discuss the marriage.”
It was not easy to investigate the matters of the Great Tang, but what happened in Shaoliang City could not be hidden from Qiu Ju.
Not long after Zhao Min entered the city, she had already obtained information about this group of people.
As for the marriage alliance, under Liu Hao's request, he did not want to make a big deal out of it and would only handle it simply.
Even Liu Hao didn't want to do it. He just wanted to bring her in.
He had his own considerations for this matter.
Although Zhao Min was already his wife and concubine in name, it was still unknown whether he would accept her.
If he really wanted to refuse, Liu Ran would not dare to say no.
"How does Zhao Min look like?" Liu Hao knew that it shouldn't be too bad. Otherwise, Yuan Country wouldn't dare to send him over for a marriage alliance. That would be purely looking for trouble.
Qiu Ju was already prepared." According to the news, Princess Zhao Min is very beautiful. It's said that she has the beauty of a foreign land.”
Strictly speaking, Yuan Country was a minority, and there were some differences in appearance between them and the people of Daliang.
Therefore, Liu Hao had long calculated that Zhao Min had the beauty of a foreign land.
"Alright, then let's see how this princess is like. Whether she's suitable to enter my manor or not, we still need to see.”
Xia Zhu smiled and said," With Old Master's methods, no matter what kind of personality that princess has, she will eventually be tamed into submission.”
Liu Hao looked at Xia Zhu, who was blabbering." Just like you, Little Bamboo? Dongmei, teach her a lesson. She even dared to tease Old Master. She was rebelling.”
Dong Mei giggled and immediately raised her hand, directly hitting Xia Zhu's perky and plump body. Xia Zhu immediately wanted to dodge, but her body suddenly went numb and she could no longer move.
"No! Master, please spare my life!"
"Ah!"
Pa!
Dong Mei's slap landed with a crisp sound, accompanied by Xia Zhu's delicate cry.
Dong Mei was very obedient, slapping him again and again.
It didn't hurt that much, but this neither light nor strong, soft and numb feeling was really uncomfortable.
"Master, please spare Little Bamboo. Little Bamboo won't dare to do it again!”
Xia Zhu's begging voice echoed on the surface of the lake, as well as the laughter of a few people.
