The secret place of Yuxu Palace·Shangguan's house.
Shangguan Feihe gently touched a ruby food box in his bedroom.
The food box is divided into three layers, and the surface of each layer is engraved with special animal-shaped patterns.
However, these patterns are not as fairy-like and ferocious as traditional Taoism. Instead, they are naive, round, and quite cute.
The bright sunlight outside the window fell on the surface of the food box, illuminating the reflection with a thin layer of red light.
"Brother Shangguan, are you still so nostalgic? After so many years, can't you let it go?"
Outside the room, in the courtyard, a very familiar voice came to him.
The voice was soft and familiar, like a middle-aged man in his thirties or forties.
This is the core area of the Shangguan family, and ordinary people are not allowed to enter or leave at will without permission.
But Shangguan Feihe was used to it.
All because the person he spoke to was his best friend for many years, Han Xinghe, the head of the Han family.
"I was rebellious back then because I didn't care about my father's rules. Now that Wan'er is dead, what she left behind should always be remembered by me."
Shangguan Feihe said calmly.
The ruby food box is the most precious relic left to him by his wife.
At that time, he practiced martial arts every day, and his wife was like this. She brought him meals every day, changing the dishes every day.
"Didn't you go outside? Why did you come back suddenly when you were free?"
Han Xinghe sighed softly.
"Yue Dewen is dead, the position in Tianbao Palace is now vacant, one of the two Taoists is missing, and the other has not yet grown up. Tianbao Palace has been removed from the list again. Now is the perfect time.
Therefore, I am here to introduce someone to you..."
"Who is it?" Shangguan Feihe said calmly. He put the ruby food box in front of him into a corner, stood up and pushed the door open.
In the spacious courtyard outside the door, a tall and handsome man with a strand of white hair on his forehead was standing.
The man is Han Xinghe, the master of the Han family who stands out for his handsomeness among the twelve sects.
"I have already brought the person outside the door. I am only responsible for the introduction. As for what we talked about, it is all up to you to decide." Han Xinghe said.
Immediately, he cupped his hands towards Shangguan Feihe, turned around and left.
Watching the opponent leave, Shangguan Feihe narrowed his eyes slightly and sensed that there was already a master with different energy and blood fluctuations and defense outside the courtyard gate.
"Since it was introduced by Brother Han, you can come in." He said calmly. His voice was not loud, but the other party could definitely hear it.
"Thank you, Master."
Outside the courtyard gate, a ponytailed woman wrapped in a red leather coat slowly walked in.
The woman even wore a red mask on her face, and the thin leather jacket perfectly highlighted every bit of skin on her figure. If you were a lustful person, you might even find that this piece of clothing was better than wearing nothing at all.
But if someone who knows the product sees it, the first thing that comes to mind will not be the sex, but the power behind it represented by this leather jacket.
"Ming Fei?" Shangguan Feihe immediately recognized the meaning of this outfit.
"Ming Fei Heng Yu, I have met the master of the palace." The woman knelt down on one knee and gave a big salute to Shangguan Feihe with a respectful attitude.
"As a concubine, you actually dare to come to my Yuxu Palace...and find Brother Han to recommend you. It's interesting." Shangguan Feihe thought in his mind and soon realized the problem.
"You don't know something. There are no eternal enemies in the world, and there are no eternal friends. Palace Master, you know... Nowadays, Dadu has long been the world of me and Zhenyi." Mingfei Hengyu said in a low voice.
"Then what? What do you want to say?" Shangguan Feihe was noncommittal.
"This junior, on behalf of the sect master, has come to promise you something." Heng Yu said calmly without changing his expression.
"What's the matter? Do I need your promise to do something?" Shangguan Feihe looked worried.
"The master of the palace has misunderstood. You may not know that today's metropolis is dominated by our two families. All the seats in Tianbao Palace have been squeezed out, and the positions in each province will soon be cleared."
Hengyu talked eloquently, "Originally, we thought that we would be able to make more profits after excluding Tianbao Palace, but unfortunately, Zhenyi was so aggressive that he absorbed many high-level practitioners from Tianbao Palace industry because of the same roots and origins.
. Now the power has increased greatly. So..."
"So what?"
"So, we hope to re-establish Tianbao Palace!" Heng Yu's words were like thunder, and Shangguan Feihe unconsciously moved his fingers slightly and his eyes flashed.
"Rebuild Tianbao Palace?! You...whose idea is this?"
"Abbot Yuanshi personally promised." Heng Yu said in a deep voice.
"So..." Shangguan Feihe's expression remained unchanged, but his eyes had an inexplicable look.
"So, what do you mean when you come to me and talk about this?" He asked out his doubts. Although there was already a trace of speculation in his heart, it would only make sense if the other party truly admitted it.
"Since Tianbao Palace is to be rebuilt, there is currently no one to support it. Of the two Taoists, one is missing, and the other is still there, but it is too early. So we have been discussing for a long time and feel that this person must be the master of the palace.
At present, in the Dao Dao Sect, apart from the Master of Yuyan Palace, you are the second best. Who else can take this position securely except you?
If the Palace Master agrees, we can send you to Jixian Court as soon as possible to serve as an elder. At the same time, the original site of Tianbao Palace can also be returned, and we will support the Palace Master to stabilize the situation for a period of time."
Heng Yu smiled and said: "Master Yuan knows very well that the palace master hopes to take a crucial step and has been preparing for many years. However, with the palace master Jin Yuyan here, it is almost impossible to replace him in the high position of Yuxu Palace before he takes over.
Since the Yuxu Palace is hopeless, it is better to find another way. The Tianbao Palace is currently unavailable, and the position is vacant. With the master’s talent and ability, isn’t it the time to make great achievements?”
She paused and continued: "Is it possible to really allow those people with corpses to continue to rise to power and ruin the reputation of Tianbao Palace of the Great Dao Sect??"
She looked at Shangguan Feihe's face and faintly noticed that he was already deep in thought.
"Is it possible that the Palace Master is confident that he can surpass Palace Master Yuyan and become the first in the avenue in the long years to come?
One road is full of thorns and there is little hope.
The other road is a broad road, and we even have help and support on both sides.
With a limited body, we can do limited things. Even if we warriors worship gods, our time will be extended by a few decades at most. Why should the palace master waste his precious time in a futile place like Yuxu Palace?"
Shangguan Feihe fell silent.
He really didn't have the confidence to face Jin Yuyan.
Although he challenged the palace master many times, in the eyes of outsiders, he was very strong.
But again, only by truly experiencing it could he know how terrifying Jin Yuyan was.
After being promoted to Grand Master, you can maintain the final state at all times.
This state will continuously strengthen the body's strength, optimize the force-generating structure, and the flesh-and-blood structure, causing the body to unconsciously change in a direction more suitable for the final pose.
Therefore, after becoming a Grand Master, the longer the time, the stronger the strength. This is a state that purely depends on who is older and has a stronger body structure.
Then worshiping God when the structure is optimized is the best way to maximize benefits.
Originally, everyone's rules were like this.
until....
Until a genius named Jin Yuyan appeared.
He developed himself in the semi-polar state, and when he first became a grand master, he caught up with veteran grand masters like him who had accumulated many years of experience. Later, he used the semi-polar state to tap into his potential as a grand master.
Then add worship to gods and become a spiritual general. Such an achievement is simply terrifying.
The condition for becoming a spiritual general in Taoism is literary merit.
Although Jin Yuyan is not as good as Yue Dewen in literary skills, he is still far ahead of the others and has reached the level of refining the gods.
Such a combination of the two...
Shangguan Feihe felt heavy in his heart.
He couldn't beat Jin Yuyan many years ago, and he can't win now.
After worshiping gods, you cannot become stronger physically, but you can develop and utilize your original strength to a greater extent.
Under the same strength and speed, the combat effectiveness of a well-trained fighting master is very different from that of an ordinary person.
The biggest difference between him and Jin Yuyan is the terrifying power that can be exerted after digging into the body of the God-Worship Grandmaster in the Half-Extreme Realm.
The ultimate state is essentially about exploring and maximizing the use of oneself, rather than enhancing one's essence.
"If the master of the palace makes a decision, we can fully assist him!" Hengyu said again.
She could see that Shangguan Feihe was tempted.
This person is strong, ambitious, and powerful.
The Shangguan family is also full of experts. Once they move into Tianbao Palace, they can quickly stabilize the situation and become a powerful force closer to Xizong than before.
This is the direction they want to see.
"What do you want?" Shangguan Feihe is a very realistic person. He knows very well that the other party has paid so much to help him, and it is impossible for him to do so without asking for anything in return.
"It's very simple." Heng Yu smiled, "We need a letter of nomination."
"A certificate of nomination?"
"Yes, three points." Heng Yu said with a smile, "First, ask the palace master to cooperate in covering the evacuation of our grand masters in Ze Province. It doesn't need to be obvious, just provide a little intelligence cover."
"Second, the master of the palace has also arranged a manpower industry in Dadu, right? This part requires us to put manpower in."
"Thirdly, there is another Taoist here in Tianbao Palace. The master of the palace needs to cooperate with us to deal with this person. This person is suspected to be supported by other forces. In Citong, many masters of my Kongzi generation fell because of him. He even...
A newly promoted god-worshipping master also mysteriously disappeared.
So...we hope that the master of the palace will cooperate with us to find out the specific strength behind this person, what is supporting him? At the same time, we can avenge the many masters of the True Buddhist Temple before."
"How about it? These three things are difficult for others, but they are easy for the Palace Master. With your strength...as long as you are willing..."
Hengyu laughed.
“Everything is at your fingertips.”
"..." Shangguan Feihe hesitated...

Outside Qingchuan Mansion, in a deserted mountain forest.
Zhang Rongfang's figure quickly ran through the forest and soon reached a clearing.
He quickly took out a porcelain bottle from his waist bag, opened the stopper of the porcelain bottle, and a strange fragrance slowly wafted out.
The sound of the surrounding forest swayed, and the shadows of the trees were dense.
Any hint of coldness was washed away by the surging blood temperature in Zhang Rongfang's body.
With him as the center, the surrounding area of at least five meters was like a furnace, and the temperature rose several degrees.
After waiting for a while, finally, a figure in the distance came quickly.
It was a masked man in black clothes. After the man came closer, he knelt down on one knee.
"This subordinate has met the Crown Prince."
"Where's Uncle Zuo?" Zhang Rongfang asked. A strange blood lotus appeared on his back. The biggest idea at this time was to quickly find Zuo Han to test it secretly to see how much effect the blood lotus had on him.
"The Holy Sect is recruiting. The sect master is on his way urgently and will leave you a message saying he will return in a few days." The man replied.
