Chapter 492 Pain and Happiness

Regarding this matter, Li Xuan didn't think much and directly agreed.

He found that this Daxing market was much more interesting than he thought.

He didn't expect that in such a short period of time, someone would start participating in the competition.

Daxing's businessmen seem to have a very keen sense of smell.

Of course, it cannot be ruled out that foreign businessmen are involved.

After all, Li Xuan's concept of hype originated from the Jinpeng Dynasty that he made up in the Western Regions.

But no matter who the opponent is, Li Xuan will teach them a lesson.

In the following time, Li Xuan left the palace every day and came to Sihai Casino to control the trading market with Zhu Shimin.

In the past, Zhu Shimin just followed Li Xuan's instructions. Li Xuan didn't explain, and Zhu Shimin never asked any questions.

But since Manager Shang asked him to take care of Zhu Shimin, Li Xuan consciously explained every operation he made and the intention behind it.

And consistent with Li Xuan's discovery that day, Zhu Shimin was indeed very talented.

It's just that his talent is not limited to this kind of financial transactions, but is quite talented in the entire business.

Li Xuan witnessed with his own eyes that a number of properties that originally belonged to the Money Gang, including the Sihai Gambling House, were managed in an orderly manner by Zhu Shimin. Not only did there not be any setbacks in the handover process, but the operations since then have also been booming.

"The Ministry of Internal Affairs is really talented."

Li Xuan saw that Zhu Shimin was constantly absorbing knowledge like a sponge, without even a hint of boredom.

It can be seen that Zhu Shimin is also very interested in these things, otherwise he would not have lost his composure in front of Manager Shang that day.

…

In the next few days, after repeated tests, Li Xuan reached an agreement with the disturbing forces in the market and began to slowly push the price up.

During this period, the price of Jinpeng Dynasty antiques experienced several violent fluctuations, but fortunately, the fluctuations came back in the end.

This can't help but make people who have experienced big diving before feel scared.

After all, everything happened in less than a month, and everything is still fresh in my memory.

But after several pulls, the disruptive forces in the market finally came to a consensus:

"The money we earn together."

In the eyes of those people, this was the compromise Li Xuan made.

As for what Li Xuan's plan was, they naturally couldn't even guess it.

"Little people, those people have become much more peaceful these days, so we will act according to the original plan."

"While pushing prices, you should also inquire more to see who they are."

"If we can find out the other party's background, we can tailor a good fishing net for them."

The shopping mall is like a battlefield. You need to know yourself and the enemy, and you will never be defeated in a hundred battles.

In the trading market, Li Xuan deeply understands how important it is to be ahead of the crowd.

With the intelligence capabilities of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, it should not be difficult to find out the details of the other party.

At that time, the other party will become a bright card, and there will be no chance of winning.

"Ah, it's so cool to have the power of the government behind you."

Li Xuan sighed with emotion, said hello to Zhu Shimin, and prepared to return to the palace.

The last Royal Garden Competition lasted too long, and in the blink of an eye it was almost the next Royal Garden Competition.

He still has a lot of things on hand to deal with, and he has been extremely busy recently.

Li Xuan, who had been used to it leisurely, was not too uncomfortable, but felt that it would be good to be more fulfilling.

Li Xuantian hurried back to the palace before it got dark because he still had things to deal with when he returned.

With his current speed and the special route into the palace, it only takes a moment to go back and forth between the palace and the palace.

When Li Xuan returned to Jingyang Palace, he found Princess Ankang and Yu'er in the courtyard, surrounding a small alchemy furnace.

And there is a figure beside them, it is Dr. Xue who came by appointment today.

That's right, today is the day when Li Xuan absorbs the chill in Princess Ankang's body.

Li Xuan quietly walked over to see what they were studying.

"Mr. Xue, this alchemy furnace is too small. Can it really be used?" Yu'er asked curiously.

"Of course it's possible. If you're just learning to make alchemy for the first time, you won't need a big alchemy furnace. You won't be able to control the heat at all."

Doctor Xue explained with a smile, and then said: "This small alchemy furnace is only used to control the heat. It cannot condense the elixir, but it can refine some medicinal powder."

"I think you have already memorized the prescription for dispelling the wind. This time I have brought you a hundred copies of the medicinal ingredients to see how many times you can make it."

Yu'er then showed a look of surprise: "It turns out that the big bag you gave me just now is the medicinal material for dispelling the wind."

"I'm afraid this hundred copies will cost a lot of money, right?"

Yu'er said with some worry.

"Oh, it doesn't matter."

"Anyway, they are all common medicinal materials in Taiyuan Hospital. Almost no one uses these. They have to be taken out to dry. It's better to buy some new ones after they are used up."

"I have some qualifications in Taiyuan Hospital. Who dares to say anything about using some medicinal materials?"

Doctor Xue said rather domineeringly.

"Well, thank you very much, Doctor Xue."

Yu'er stopped being pretentious and bowed directly and generously.

Now that Jingyang Palace has confidence, Yu'er is no longer as afraid to accept other people's kindness as before.

After all, in the past, Yu'er was always worried that she would not be able to repay others' favors, so she simply didn't owe others anything from the beginning.

But things are different now. Yu'er dares to accept the kindness of others and is generous in her words and deeds. She is no longer as shy and reserved as before, making people look like she is a petty person.

"Okay, why don't you just bring some medicinal materials over now, and I'll show you the process."

"It just so happens that Ah Xuan hasn't come back yet, so there's no point in us staying here."

Doctor Xue suggested.

But as soon as he finished speaking, he heard a "meow" sound, and Li Xuanqi stretched his head over from the side, curiously looking at the alchemy furnace on the table.

"Why!"

"You made a squeak when you came back, it gave me a fright."

Doctor Xue complained.

Li Xuan glanced at Doctor Xue in confusion. He clearly remembered that he had meowed just now.

But regardless of these details, Li Xuan was also curious about the small alchemy furnace on the table.

The alchemy furnace on the table looked about the size of a football. Compared with the alchemy furnace Li Xuan had seen before in the Taiyuan Hospital, it was too mini.

From what Dr. Xue said just now, it seems that he gave this alchemy furnace and some medicinal materials to Yu'er to practice.

Yu'er had been reading books on alchemy by herself before, but Li Xuan didn't expect that she had reached the point where she could practice it.

“Is this thing also made for wood burning?”

Li Xuan asked, pointing to the alchemy furnace.

"Nonsense!"

Doctor Xue was so angry that he blew his beard and stared.

"Last time when I made elixir with Ziwu and Tilian for you, my students didn't burn firewood, but gunpowder."

"Those woods are medicinal woods. Not only do they make the fire hotter when burned, but they also have the effect of assisting in alchemy."

"If the Ministry of Internal Affairs had not borne the expenses, I would not be willing to use medicinal wood to make elixirs."

Li Xuan heard about this for the first time and couldn't help but be a little surprised.

He happened to catch up with the time when the elixir was about to be released, and saw Dr. Xue leading a group of medical students from the Tai Hospital busy. He did not expect that they were so particular about the wood they burned.

"Medicine tree?"

Princess Ankang and Yu'er also asked curiously.

Doctor Xue immediately started popularizing science about the three little animals.

The medicinal tree itself has considerable medicinal value, and it also secretes a special resin.

When this kind of resin burns, the flame becomes stronger, and it has the effect of catalyzing medicinal materials. It is the best fuel for alchemy.

However, because these medicinal trees only grow in the depths of the Emerald Plateau and have a long growth period, the price in the market has always been very expensive.

That is, in this palace, otherwise few people in the entire Daxing Dynasty would be able to afford it.

Only then did Li Xuan realize that the two pills he took last time were worth a lot of money.

But neither of the two managers had any intention of informing Li Xuan about this matter.

"That's right. The Ziwu Bingdilian alone is hard to find."

Li Xuan immediately understood.

The value of heavenly materials and earthly treasures with balanced yin and yang attributes on the market is cheaper than other single-attribute heavenly materials and earthly treasures, because not many warriors can use them.

But even if it is cheaper, it is still sky-high price for ordinary people. After all, it is too rare.

In particular, the Ziwu Bingdi Lotus is a mutation, and has other special meanings compared to other heavenly materials and earthly treasures.

Li Xuan silently kept this in mind.

At this time, Yu'er saw that Li Xuan was back and said:

"Okay, okay, Xuan, you should finish your business first."

"If you want to watch me make alchemy, it's not too late to watch me later."

Yu'er saw that her kitten was curious about the alchemy furnace, so she said this.

In her heart, Princess Ankang's matter must be more important.

Li Xuan nodded and got ready with Princess Ankang and Doctor Xue.

In the beginning, no one else could help. Princess Ankang needed to practice the exercises on her own. Li Xuan supervised and corrected the shortcomings, while Dr. Xue mainly observed and recorded.

Today, Princess Ankang practiced the light body lifting technique that Li Xuan taught her last time.

But compared to the first time, Princess Ankang was already too proficient and did not need Li Xuan to correct her too much.

After practicing the basic skills of the light body lift technique, Princess Ankang began to use the light skills to fly around the Jingyang Palace at a speed that was not slow at all.

Moreover, Li Xuan discovered that Qinggong, which relied solely on physical strength like Princess Ankang, was actually more flexible.

Of course, there is also the reason why Princess Ankang's physique is much stronger than ordinary people.

But judging from Princess Ankang's current Qing Gong, once she masters the Light Body Lifting Technique, I'm afraid not many lower-level third-level warriors will be able to catch up with her.

According to past experience, Princess Ankang may master the light body lifting technique in less than a month, that is, the next time Li Xuan absorbs the chill in her body.

After practicing for a while, Princess Ankang began to pant.

Obviously, the amount of energy she needed to induce the chill in her body to go wild was greater than before.

This kind of improvement in "tolerance" is something Li Xuan is happy to see.

In this case, one day in the future, there is hope that the chill will no longer run rampant.

Princess Ankang noticed the familiar feeling in her body and quickly nodded to Li Xuan.

Then everyone started to act in a tacit understanding.

Princess Ankang directly used Qinggong and ran to the bed, followed closely by Li Xuan.

One person and one cat got into the bed with a swoosh, and then tucked the quilt in.

Yu'er and Doctor Xue also followed in.

Yu'er tied a silk thread for Imperial Physician Xue, allowing him to hang it to diagnose the pulse and observe Princess Ankang's physical changes.

Doctor Xue twisted the silk thread, closed his eyes, and carefully felt Princess Ankang's pulse.

If it weren't for the danger of directly contacting Princess Ankang in this state, Doctor Xue would have preferred to diagnose her pulse personally, which would be more accurate.

"Her Royal Highness the Princess's current pulse condition is no different from that of ordinary people."

Doctor Xue twirled his beard silently, thinking to himself.

The last time Li Xuan absorbed the cold for Princess Ankang, he still remembered Princess Ankang's astonishing pulse condition.

"I don't know what will happen this time."

At this time, Li Xuan had already laid down in a familiar position and felt the violent dantian.

"Let me see if this period of practice is of any use."

Li Xuan secretly said, waiting attentively.

The next moment, a surge of coldness poured into Li Xuan's body.

But now Li Xuan can handle it with ease.

When the cold poured into his meridians, although the pain was still there, his mentality was completely different from before.

After having the confidence brought to him by the Yin and Yang Qi, Li Xuan finally no longer had to worry about it every day as before, for fear of harming his and Princess Ankang's lives.

Chill poured into the meridians, and the icy breath immediately followed, and Li Xuan's movements were not slow.

Last time, he transformed the coldness into his five-element evolution through the "melting reaction" by utilizing the yin and yang true energy. Not only did he easily cope with the coldness, but he also made progress in his cultivation.

This time, Li Xuan was more direct, using Yin and Yang Qi to circulate Xuanhan Jin, and then gathered the ice attribute Qi in one place.

Chill, ice-cold breath and ice-attribute energy were immediately mixed together without distinguishing each other.

At this moment, Li Xuan couldn't help but groan, feeling the pain in his meridians intensify, but at the same time he felt that he had a little more control over this mixed power.

Li Xuan did not dare to delay, and immediately used the method instructed by Manager Shang to immediately turn the ice into water.

The ice attribute Qi transformed by Xuanhan Jin suddenly began to "reverse water", and a lot of chill and ice-cold breath were also changed unexpectedly.

But the chill was still pouring out from Princess Ankang's Dantian. Seeing that the water was about to condense into ice, Li Xuan immediately evolved into the five elements and turned into Yin and Yang Qi and fled.

He is now extremely proficient in evolving the Five Elements. No matter what the Five Elements attribute is, it only takes a moment.

After going back and forth like this, Li Xuan found that he had a little more yin and yang energy under his control.

"Um?"

Li Xuan felt something was wrong and decided to try one more time.

The success just now has proved that his idea is correct.

Compared with the last melting reaction, Li Xuan turned part of the coldness into his own use more easily, and even brought a slight improvement.

"That's not right. Mr. Ye said before that apart from other yin and yang attributes, only the treasures of heaven and earth can enhance the true qi of yin and yang."

"Could it be that this coldness is considered a natural treasure?"

Li Xuan was a little unsure of the situation. The improvement in Yin and Yang Qi just now was a bit too subtle.

"Try a few more times and see!"

Li Xuan himself didn't notice it. The corners of his mouth curled up uncontrollably, his eyes were closed, and he had a twisted expression of pain and joy that made people unbearable to look at him.
