Chapter 251 Sun Flame Pond

It's a new month in a blink of an eye.

This morning, Shang, the chief steward, came to pick up Li Xuan to go to Yuqing Pool.

Li Xuan stood on Shang, the chief steward's shoulder, yawning and wiping his eye mucus.

He was just pulled out of the cat bed by Shang.

At this time, Zhao Feng hasn't even come to Jingyang Palace to teach Yu'er martial arts.

"Meow?"

Li Xuan called out with some dissatisfaction, looking at the sun that had just risen in the distance, complaining that Shang, the chief steward, came too early.

Shang, the chief steward, chuckled and continued:

"Ah Xuan, don't be ungrateful."

"I, an old man, got up so early to pick you up, but it's all for your own good."

"You'll know when you get there later."

Li Xuan didn't think so.

He had seen Riyan Pond before.

Even though today was the best time for Riyan Pond, Li Xuan was quite confident.

He had experienced a baptism in Yueyin Pond, and his body had been qualitatively improved.

These days, I have been very good at practicing the Dragon Tiger Wind Roar. I have already completed half of the practice and it is not far from perfection.

The man and the cat soon arrived at Yuqing Pool.

People had been informed of this place long ago, and someone was waiting outside the door.

Seeing the arrival of Shang Zongguan, the eunuch in charge of the daily affairs of Yuqing Pool hurriedly saluted respectfully, not daring to slack off.

This eunuch looked like he had just entered middle age, and his seniority was far behind Shang Zongguan.

"Shang Zongguan, everything is ready. If you need anything else, please let me know."

Shang Zongguan nodded and replied, "Steward An, right? Thank you."

"No, no, Shang Zongguan is too polite. Just call me Xiao Anzi."

Steward An was terrified.

There was no eunuch in the palace who didn't know Shang Zongguan. Even if the eunuch in front of him was the steward of Yuqing Pool, he didn't dare to be disrespectful.

They were not only afraid of the power that Shang Zongguan held, but also had a sense of admiration.

For so many years, Shang Zongguan's character has been well-known in the palace.

Moreover, he set an example for the eunuchs in the palace, letting everyone know that eunuchs can live like human beings, and that the adopted sons can really take care of them in their old age, which gradually gave the eunuchs the confidence to give themselves self-esteem.

In the past, everyone in the palace compared the eunuchs to snakes, insects, rats, ants, pigs, dogs, eagles, and dogs, and never said anything good about them.

However, after Shang Zongguan came to power, he successfully handed over the position of the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to his adopted son, and the reputation of the eunuchs gradually changed.

The main reason is that they, the eunuchs, can respect themselves and are willing to be a eunuch that people respect.

If Shang Zongguan can have a peaceful old age, it will be a role model for these eunuchs.

Seeing that An Guanshi was uncomfortable with him, Shang Zongguan simply thanked him and took Li Xuan to the depths of Yuqing Pool.

It is the end of summer now, but the weather is still hot.

Especially after entering Yuqing Pool, there are waves of heat waves.

It is also difficult for the eunuchs and palace maids who work here to be steamed like this every day.

But what Li Xuan found strange was that he did not see the water vapor in Yuqing Pool today, but it was very dry.

"Is it because it is too early and those hot springs are not heated yet?"

"Oh, that's not right."

"I remember that the water in the hot springs is heated by stones."

Li Xuan felt a little strange and looked around.

Not long after, Shang Zongguan and Li Xuan came to the two rockery, and the famous Sun, Moon, Yin and Yang Pool was already in sight.

Just looking at the scene in front of him, Li Xuan's expression could not help but be a little sluggish.

This place is very different from when he came here before.

The originally dark and bottomless Yueyin Pool has become clear and the color of the water is even different.

Li Xuan clearly remembered that the water was clearly black before, and not even a ray of light could penetrate it.

But now it is as transparent and clear as ordinary water.

He looked down and could even vaguely see the bottom of the pool.

"No, I remember it was quite deep, why is it so shallow now?"

Li Xuan tilted his head and wondered if the Sun, Moon, Yin and Yang Pool in front of him had been swapped.

"Hehe, did you think it was very deep before?"

Manager Shang laughed at the side.

"But in fact, the water on both sides is ninety-nine feet deep, exactly the same."

Li Xuan's heart moved:

"It's less than thirty meters?"

"But I clearly remember before..."

But then he shook his head again.

At that time, the Moon Yin Pool was pitch black, but Li Xuan could not clearly judge the depth of his dive.

It may also be because of the huge pressure in the Moon Yin Pool that Li Xuan made a wrong judgment on the distance, which is also a very normal thing.

And after knowing that both sides of the Sun Moon Yin Yang Pond were only ninety-nine feet deep, Li Xuan felt a lot more relieved.

The unknown is the most terrifying.

When he knew that the Sun Flame Pond was only that deep, the psychological pressure was reduced a lot.

But when Li Xuan followed Shang Zongguan to the side of the Sun Flame Pond, his expression could not help but become confused again.

"Meow?"

Looking at Li Xuan's confused and speechless expression, Shang Zongguan couldn't help but laugh.

"Ah Xuan, the last time you saw the weakest Sun Flame Pond."

"Today's one is pretty good."

Shang Zongguan pointed to the Sun Flame Pond, which was blazing white and constantly had sparks coming out, with a malicious smile on his face.

There were white flames like ghost fire on the Sun Flame Pond, flashing away.

Li Xuan even suspected that someone had added ingredients to the Sun Flame Pond today.

"Meow, woo? (You can say if you want to eat cat meat hot pot, don't do this to me, right?)"

Li Xuan stood up like a little man, spread out his two front paws, and his face was full of speechless expressions.

Manager Shang grinned and said without any pain in his back:

"Ah Xuan, what are we talking about?"

"The sun has just risen."

"Wait until noon, it will be spectacular!"

"There are flames rising from the top of the Sun Flame Pond, like a big pillar of fire."

"Otherwise, how do you think the name of the Sun Flame Pond came from?"

"If there were no such strange phenomenon, the name would have rhymed."

"It's just that the scene is too..."

"Oh, no more, no more, I'm afraid to scare you."

Manager Shang said a lot, and finally acted like he couldn't bear it, waved his hand and turned his head to the side.

Li Xuan looked at the sparks on the pond, and then thought about the situation Manager Shang said, and his two hind legs shivered uncontrollably.

"Meow! Meow! (No more! No matter what!)"

"Meow? (Isn't this pushing the cat into the fire?)"

"Meow, meow! (I want to go home, I want to go home!)"

Li Xuan screamed heartbreakingly, but he couldn't get away from Shang Zongguan's big hand.

Seeing that he was about to retreat, Shang Zongguan launched a sneak attack and pinched the back of Li Xuan's neck.

"Alas, Xuan."

"This is the opportunity you have finally sought. Isn't it a pity to give it up so easily?"

Shang Zongguan persuaded him kindly.

"Don't worry, I will watch you from the side."

"I will never let you get too strong."

"Meow——(Ah——)"

It would have been better if Shang Zongguan hadn't said anything. Once he said it, Li Xuan was so scared that he cried non-stop, like a naughty child, howling dryly without a single tear.

"Hahaha."

Li Xuan's appearance made Shang Zongche laugh, and he couldn't help but think of a little prince.

"Ah Xuan, don't be afraid."

After Shang Zongche laughed enough, he wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes.

"His Majesty is not willing to cook you, so he prepared a good thing to save your life."

Shang Zongche said, and took out a dark blue pill.

"Here, this is the cold body pill, which can help you."

After saying that, Shang Zongche stuffed the pill into Li Xuan's crying mouth, and immediately shut him up.

Li Xuan was only concerned with crying, and suddenly felt an itch in his throat, and swallowed something subconsciously.

Li Xuan calmed down now, and was still thinking about what he had just swallowed, with a weird expression on his face.

"Don't worry, it's a good thing."

Shang Zongche lifted Li Xuan's buttocks and held him in his arms.

"Digest the medicine first, and you can take it down at noon."

At this time, Li Xuan suddenly felt a chill in his stomach, and the icy breath in his body became active and began to flow.

"What did Shang Zongguan say just now? I didn't hear it clearly."

Li Xuan was confused for a moment, and then gestured to Shang Zongguan at his mouth.

Shang Zongguan realized that Li Xuan didn't hear his words clearly, and repeated it helplessly.

"This is the elixir prepared by His Majesty for you. It can allow you to stay in the Sun Flame Pond for a while longer, and it also has some effects on strengthening your body."

"But you can't take too much of this medicine, otherwise it will hurt your body."

Shang Zongguan stroked Li Xuan's fur and noticed that Li Xuan's body temperature was slowly dropping.

But they were standing at the edge of the Sun Flame Pond, and this temperature drop was nothing at all.

Li Xuan immediately closed his eyes and felt a chill in his body slowly being stimulated, and this chill was becoming more and more intense.

"It's a bit like when the coldness in Ankang's body exploded, but it's much milder than that."

"Hehe, it seems that Emperor Yongyuan is still very trustworthy."

Li Xuan remembered that Emperor Yongyuan said that day that he would prepare a small gift, and it seems that this pill is it.

"The alchemy of the human race is quite developed, and there are pills with various effects."

"Just don't know if I can learn this alchemy technique?"

Li Xuan took note of this and planned to go to Qianxing Pavilion next time to see if there were any books related to alchemy.

He remembered that there was a young man who practiced alchemy and finally reached the peak of his life.

Although Li Xuan was a cat, he could not fall behind.

"Thirty years..."

"Keep your mind focused and digest the medicine. Be ready before noon."

Li Xuan was about to shout a slogan, but Shang Zongguan noticed that he was restless and reminded him immediately.

Li Xuan immediately meowed and concentrated on digesting the medicine.

When he was concentrating on digesting the cold body pill, time passed quickly.

Li Xuan had already started to tremble all over, and at this time, Shang Zongguan's voice finally sounded.

"Ah Xuan, it's noon."

Li Xuan opened his eyes, and there was no shadow of the Sun Flame Pond in front of him, but a sea of ​​​​blazing white fire.

He couldn't help but swallowed his saliva with a gulp.

"Shang Zongguan is really not blind."
