Chapter 340 The Imperial Concubine is Pure and Elegant (Eighty-Nine)

Cui Li listened silently, nodded, and said calmly.

Cui Li: "Thousands of years ago, that miko who defied fate and changed her destiny held a high position for decades, but met a tragic end before her death, and will never enter the cycle of reincarnation. Now the spiritual energy of the world has been depleted, with only a few spiritual instruments remaining. Even if the miko were still there, she would most likely be unable to open the altar. The person behind this is merely taking an unorthodox approach, and one day they will suffer the consequences."

Qiao Zhi's expression was serious. He hadn't expected this Imperial Concubine to even know about spiritual energy and magical instruments. She really didn't seem like a woman from the harem. Could she also be a cultivator? But as far as he knew, there were no more than ten truly accomplished cultivators in the world.

Thinking of the Imperial Master who suffered backlash for divination, and the Imperial Master's adopted son, Prime Minister Xuan, could it be that the Imperial Concubine learned about it from them?

Cui Li smiled faintly and said nothing, giving Qiao Zhi an unfathomable feeling. Finally, Qiao Zhi respectfully took his leave.

He wanted to go back and ask Xuan Yunian, did he know that the Imperial Noble Consort was not an ordinary person?

Xuan Yunian: "Is this what you want to ask?"

Seeing that Xuan Yunian was very calm, Qiao Zhi hurriedly said.

Qiao Zhi: "Yes! What is the identity of the Imperial Noble Consort? Is she also a Taoist?"

The reason why Qiao Zhi was so excited was that he had also embarked on the journey of cultivation by chance. Unfortunately, as Cui Li said, the spiritual energy was weak now, and he had not achieved any results after three years of cultivation.

On the other hand, Xuan Yunian, who looks like a weak scholar, is actually more powerful than him, and his physique has been cleansed by spiritual energy.

Qiao Zhi followed Xuan Yunian not only because Xuan Yunian was his savior, but also because Xuan Yunian had orthodox Taoist skills and was stronger than him.

Xuan Yunian put down the jade-white teacup in his hand, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

He was able to be where he is today thanks to Cui Li who rescued him from the group of beggars, settled him down, and allowed him to worship the National Master as his father.

But his relationship with Cui Li is far more than just savior.

Xuan Yunian: "Everyone knows that I'm the Imperial Master's adopted son, but few know that Cui Li is actually his half-disciple. I caught the Imperial Master's eye because he was secretly pestering eight-year-old Li'er, saying she had a high level of comprehension and wanted to take her in as his disciple. Li'er wasn't happy about it, so the Imperial Master stuffed a bunch of his treasured secret manuals into her. He then realized I had exceptional aptitude and talent, and he took me in as his adopted son."

When Qiao Zhi heard this, his eyes lit up.

Qiao Zhi: "So, the Imperial Concubine has a lot of secret manuals on Taoism?"

Xuan Yunian knew what he was thinking just by looking at his expression.

Xuan Yunian: "As the daughter of an aristocratic family, Cui Li was trained by them. Although her comprehension was higher than Benxiang's, she had never considered cultivating Taoism. After reading the pile of secret books, she returned them to her adoptive father, who then gave them to Benxiang."

Qiao Zhi's eyes dimmed. It was so difficult to take things from Xuan Yunian's hand!

If it was in Cui Li's hands, he would be confident enough to ask Cui Li to lend it to him to try.

Xuan Yunian couldn't help laughing when he saw his depressed look. He opened the drawer casually, took out a book and handed it to him.

Xuan Yunian: "This book, Chengtian Daojing, is your reward for treating the Imperial Concubine. It contains some records of witchcraft that you may find useful."

Qiao Zhi quickly held it in his arms and flipped through several pages. When he saw the content, he shouted excitedly.

Qiao Zhi: "A deadly technique! I'm at a loss as to what to do with that poisonous insect. With this, let's see how arrogant the person behind this can be!"

Qiao Zhi didn't care about the queen's life or death, but he was very interested in witchcraft. The people behind the scenes knew that he was treating the queen, but they never thought of cutting off the connection between the insect and the mother body, and wanted to continuously absorb the queen's vitality. It was obvious that they did not take him seriously.

This Taoist scripture contains very little record of witchcraft, nor does it describe how to cast spells, but it does contain methods to break through deadly spells.

Qiao Zhi left happily with the book.
