Chu Yang suddenly appeared beside Cao Zhengchun, and his words startled Cao Zhengchun so much that he jumped up and down.
Cao Zhengchun's last remaining rationality prevented him from attacking Chu Yang.
"Your Majesty, you scared me to death! Lord Zheng and the others are waiting outside the hall. They asked me to come in and tell you!"
Cao Zhengchun bowed respectfully and then pointed to the crowd outside.
"Let them in."
"Your Majesty, this is your bedroom. It is somewhat inappropriate to allow ministers to come and go as they please."
"I told them to come in, so they came in."
Cao Zhengchun dared not say another word and hurriedly ran outside to call everyone else into the palace.
As soon as everyone entered, they saw Chu Yang with a beaming smile, as if he had accomplished something great.
Seeing this, Lu Xiaofeng secretly thought to himself, "Even if the emperor were killed, Chu Yang wouldn't be this happy."
"Your Majesty, what was the cause of the thunder in the palace earlier?" Guo Bujing stepped forward and asked directly.
"Lord Guo, I forgot to tell you, I was refining elixirs. Lord Zheng and the Divine Marquis both know that."
Chu Yang replied with a smile.
"Alchemy?" Guo Bujing looked at Zhuge Zhengwo with a puzzled expression.
Zhuge Zhengwo shook his head and chuckled, "His Majesty said yesterday that he would use the flesh and blood of the demon race to refine pills. I thought His Majesty was just joking with us."
Guo Bujing's face turned ashen. He turned to Chu Yang and angrily rebuked him, "Your Majesty is truly absurd! The flesh and blood of the demon race are utterly useless, and even highly poisonous. Anyone who touches it will surely die. How can it be used for alchemy? What will become of the Great Ming Dynasty if something goes wrong?!"
It was clear that Guo Bujing was very angry. He valued Chu Yang's safety above all else; otherwise, he wouldn't have risked his life to come to the palace to save him.
"It's too early to say that, Master Guo." Chu Yang smiled and took out the refined pills, a warm aura emanating from them.
"What is this?!" Guo Bujing stared wide-eyed at the pill in Chu Yang's hand, exclaiming in disbelief, "You actually refined a pill?!"
This statement came out.
The others swarmed around Chu Yangsheng, observing the medicine in his hand.
"Your Majesty, did you really create this?"
"nonsense!"
"Your Majesty, is this edible?"
"That's utter nonsense! Try it and see if you can save me."
try?
Everyone, look at me and I'll look at you.
Who will try?
We've seen what happens to those who eat demon flesh, so who would dare to try this easily?
Ok……
There are actually people who dare to do this!
Gu Santong took the pill and fed it directly into his mouth.
next second.
His aura changed; his profound true energy surged forth like a spring, pushing those around him several meters away.
"Breakthrough!"
"Grandmaster Realm!" (End of Chapter)
Chapter 211 This is a one-time exception! Shameless!
During the decisive battle at Tianchi, Gu Santong was already a Grandmaster. However, he was imprisoned in a secret dungeon for nearly twenty years, causing his vital energy to decline and his cultivation level to drop again and again.
He was saved by Chu Yang on his deathbed, and his martial arts cultivation was rebuilt from the ashes. He was only one step away from breaking through, and this pill became the opportunity for him to break through.
Grandmaster level!
The pinnacle that countless martial artists dream of!
In this era where immortals and gods are merely legends, grandmasters are deities who stand above all living beings.
"Gu Santong, he broke through?!" Cao Zhengchun stared at Gu Santong in disbelief. He saw that the other party's blood and qi were as thick as a long dragon, swirling around his body, and finally turning into rolling red clouds that were absorbed into Gu Santong's stomach.
"This...this medicine is actually real!"
Zheng Dongliu's hand, which was gripping his beard, trembled so badly that he almost pulled it off. He was already past the age of knowing one's destiny and would soon be an old man in his sixties. If he didn't break through his current level, his blood and qi would decline year by year.
He was the one who needed to replenish his qi and blood the most among everyone, and he couldn't help but turn to look at Chu Yang, his eyes becoming extremely ardent.
Zheng Dongliu was very confident in his own abilities and believed that as long as he could obtain the elixir, he would definitely become the next Grandmaster.
Gu Santong opened his eyes, and the surging true energy gradually subsided. The light in his eyes became more subdued, with occasional golden afterglow flashing. It seemed that the Golden Light Indestructible Divine Art was undergoing another transformation.
"drink!"
With a tremor of his arms, Gu Santong's entire body flashed with golden light, instantly transforming into a tiny, golden figure, the heartbeat emanating from his chest sounding like a drumbeat.
The drums thundered, reverberating endlessly in everyone's ears.
At this moment, Zhuge Zhengwo's face finally changed color, and he couldn't help but say, "What a magnificent Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill! Brother Gu's physical body is as strong as a demon king..."
Chu Yang nodded. At this moment, Gu Santong's physical strength was perhaps second only to him in the entire Ming Dynasty.
"Calm down, old comrade."
Chu Yang slapped Gu Santong on the shoulder, instantly knocking him back to his original form, and the golden light in the sky vanished in an instant.
I had to take a picture; it was just too glaring, even more annoying than shining a flashlight in my eyes.
Gu Santong, who had been all smiles, quickly froze on his face and fell into deep self-doubt.
Is my Grandmaster made of paper?
How come he can't even withstand a slap...?
Everyone felt a chill run down their spines upon seeing this.
Gu Santong, who had achieved the Grandmaster realm, was thus shattered by a slap from His Majesty.
What level of cultivation does Your Majesty possess?
"The pills have been tested, and you've all seen their effects. So, the method of refining pills from flesh and blood is feasible, isn't it?"
Chu Yang looked at them with a smile.
Zhuge Shenhou was the first to react. His body trembled with excitement as he cupped his hands and said, "In this way, the human race can finally work together to kill demons, and those martial arts sects can finally go down the mountain to kill demons willingly."
Under normal circumstances, the risk of killing demons is very high, and not every demon's body can be used to forge weapons and armor. Therefore, unless one is forced to encounter a demon, most sects strictly prohibit their disciples from "subduing demons and monsters".
Especially for those disciples with exceptional talent, the elders of the sect must repeatedly give them instructions to prevent them from acting impulsively.
In the eyes of some major sects, the Divine Marquis's Mansion would bear the consequences if the sky were to fall, and any demons that threatened the safety of the common people would be dealt with by the Divine Marquis's Mansion, and had nothing to do with them.
Of course, there are also "rebellious" disciples who cannot stand this kind of behavior and insist on going down the mountain to slay demons and monsters. The result is often death and the loss of their spiritual essence, becoming a negative example for the sect to educate its young disciples.
Even masters from Buddhism and Taoism, the imperial court had to offer them substantial benefits before it could persuade them to help.
Buddhist masters like Master Yunque of Yichan Temple, who were on good terms with Zhuge Zhengwo, were few and far between.
Now that killing demons can be used to refine pills, which can improve cultivation, this matter has become valuable and profitable in the eyes of major sects. They will actively send their disciples into the world to kill demons, which can greatly help alleviate the pressure on the Divine Marquis's Mansion.
Speaking of martial arts sects, Chu Yang's expression turned slightly cold. Great heroes like Yan Nantian and Guo Bujing were ultimately a minority; most were just opportunistic and scheming individuals.
“Those sects should have been disciplined long ago. There are many like Ximen Chuixue and Ye Gucheng who disregard the greater good of humanity and recklessly wage war. Previously, the court was powerless to do so. After dealing with those traitors in the south, we will settle accounts with them properly.”
Yu Huatian's face was as cold as frost, and he kept sneering. One of the reasons he was so keen on power was his ambition to suppress all the sects in the world.
"The situation has just begun to improve. It is not the right thing to do to clash with those sects now. As the Divine Marquis just said, we should work together."
Zheng Dongliu slowly shook his head, directly refuting Yu Huatian's words; the two had always held conflicting positions.
"Lord Zheng's idea is too naive. If those sects were reliable, the situation in the south would not have deteriorated to this point."
Yu Huatian squinted at Zheng Dongliu, a hint of murderous intent rising in his eyes.
Zheng Dongliu sneered, "The reason for the corruption in the South may well be due to the two factories pulling the strings behind the scenes. Don't throw all the shit on the major sects, Eunuch Yu!"
Yu Huatian's face turned ugly. He was about to speak in rebuttal when he heard Cao Zhengchun's furious voice.
"Don't make false accusations, you surnamed Zheng!"
"When have we ever considered the South? How can we fabricate such a crime that could lead to the extermination of nine generations of one's family?"
"If you have the guts, settle things with us today and let's see who's the real deal!"
"My loyalty to the Ming Dynasty is absolute; I beg Your Majesty to see the truth!"
It was clear that Eunuch Cao was in a real hurry. He disregarded etiquette and jumped around in front of Chu Yang, as if he wanted to bite Zheng Dongliu to death.
"Alright, I know you're innocent. You can't even manage the capital, how could you have time to reach out to the south?"
Chu Yang waved his hand, looking at Cao Zhengchun with disdain, "If you keep jumping around in front of me, I'll beat you up."
