Opening the Eighth Purple Mansion! The Five Elements Lack Wood!
Liu Ruyan nodded and quickly instructed the servants to prepare for Chen Changqing.
A short while later, a maid led Chen Changqing away.
After Chen Changqing left, Liu Tian hurriedly looked at Liu Ruyan.
"My daughter!"
"With Chen Changqing, the number one on the Azure Dragon Ranking, assisting us, this Hundred Dynasties War is a sure thing!"
Thinking of Chen Changqing, Liu Tian felt quite satisfied.
Upon hearing this, Liu Ruyan glanced back at Liu Tian and said with a smile:
"Father, you looked down on him before?"
Liu Tian looked slightly embarrassed and coughed lightly, saying:
"Cough..."
"That means they didn't know his identity, right?"
At this point, Liu Tian suddenly looked at Liu Ruyan with a serious expression, then changed the subject and asked:
"Daughter, tell your father the truth."
What exactly is your relationship with Changqing friend Changqing?
"Ah?"
Upon hearing Liu Tian's question, Liu Ruyan immediately panicked and stammered:
"Father."
"Changqing... is my junior brother, what... what other relationship could there be?"
As she said this, Liu Ruyan blushed and lowered her eyes, clearly extremely shy.
"Ha ha!"
Liu Tian saw this and naturally understood his daughter's thoughts, so he didn't point it out.
If it were someone else, he might have interfered.
But if this person is Chen Changqing, who is ranked number one on the Azure Dragon Ranking, then it's a different story.
On the other side, Chen Changqing followed the maid through the winding corridors and arrived at a secluded room outside the Liu Family's back mountain.
"Young master, this is the quiet room arranged for you."
"Please continue your cultivation in peace. This servant takes her leave."
The maid bowed respectfully to Chen Changqing and then quietly withdrew.
Chen Changqing glanced at the meditation room and immediately noticed that the entrance was shrouded in a light blue water curtain, and the surrounding Spiritual Qi was as dense as mist.
After a quick glance, he didn't linger and walked straight into the quiet room.
Upon entering the quiet room, Chen Changqing felt as if every pore on his body opened up, and the Spiritual Qi was much richer than outside.
"It seems this meditation room was specifically built for water-attribute Cultivators."
"That drop of Black Tortoise Essence Blood happens to be water-based, so refining it here will make things twice as effective."
Chen Changqing muttered to himself, glancing around. The walls of the quiet room were inlaid with Deep Sea Cold Jade, and the floor was engraved with Spirit Gathering Array.
Without much thought, he got up and sat cross-legged on the Cold Jade Platform in the center of the quiet room.
Then, Chen Changqing had a thought and took the drop of Black Tortoise Essence Blood from his Heaven-Stepping Ring.
"Boom!"
As soon as the Essence Blood was drawn from the Glazed Bottle, a surging, tide-like energy immediately spread throughout the quiet room.
Chen Changqing didn't pay any attention. After calming his mind, he directly introduced the drop of Black Tortoise Essence Blood into his Dantian.
"Boom!"
The instant the Essence Blood enter the body.
Chen Changqing felt a vast, ocean-like energy explode within his body.
At this moment, it felt as if thousands of ice needles were moving through his meridians, or as if he had been thrown into the Far North Cold Abyss, freezing even his soul.
Even the surface of the skin quickly formed a layer of blue ice crystals.
Fortunately, the ice crystals were quickly evaporated and dissipated into mist.
Meanwhile, inside Chen Changqing's Dantian.
The once calm Golden Core began to tremble violently.
Immediately afterwards, the Black Tortoise Essence Blood that Chen Changqing had guided into his Dantian transformed into a pure power that bound the Golden Core.
As the power of Black Tortoise continued to be injected, the Golden Core slowly dissipated.
Next, Chen Changqing continued to refine that drop of Black Tortoise Essence Blood in the quiet room.
In the blink of an eye, three days have passed.
"Snap!"
At this moment, in that quiet room.
Suddenly, a crack appeared in the Golden Core within Chen Changqing's body.
Then, a phantom with a turtle's head and a snake's tail emerged from the crack.
"Roar!"
With a silent roar, the Golden Core shattered completely, then transformed into a blue nebula.
At this moment, in the center of that nebula, a miniature palace was taking shape.
This was clearly the prototype of the Purple Mansion.
At this moment, Chen Changqing also entered a wonderful state.
His consciousness seemed to transcend time and space, seeing a real Black Tortoise beast roaming in the endless sea of stars.
Its enormous body was comparable to a mountain, and every breath it took could stir up the tides of stars.
"So this is the power of the Black Tortoise, Four Symbols..."
Chen Changqing seemed to understand something.
Before long, within his Dantian world, the shattered Golden Core had formed a purple Purple Mansion that was entirely azure blue.
Above the Purple Mansion, the phantom of Black Tortoise stood tall, exuding an aura that suppressed the Eight Desolations.
After the last wisp of power was absorbed by the Black Tortoise Purple Mansion, Chen Changqing slowly opened his eyes, a flash of blue light in his pupils.
Upon internal observation, one can see that within one's Dantian world, eight Purple Mansion are arranged like stars, among which the newly formed Black Tortoise Purple Mansion is particularly dazzling, echoing the other three Four Symbols Purple Mansion.
"Only the Wood Element Purple Mansion is missing!"
Chen Changqing muttered to himself.
Now, with the opening of the Black Tortoise Purple Mansion, the Four Symbols Purple Mansions within his body are complete.
Of the Five Elements Purple Mansion, only the Wood Purple Mansion remains undeveloped.
"We are not far from the Nine Great Purple Mansions."
Chen Changqing was filled with excitement. He could clearly feel that with the formation of the Black Tortoise Purple Mansion, the Four Symbols Purple Mansions within his body had gathered, and his strength had greatly improved.
Afterwards, Chen Changqing didn't stay in the quiet room any longer and got up to leave.
"Young Master Chen!"
As soon as Chen Changqing stepped out of the quiet room, the maid who had brought him there earlier quickly approached him.
"Um?"
Chen Changqing frowned slightly, but before he could speak, the maid spoke first:
"The young lady has given the instructions."
"If you emerge from seclusion, young master, please allow me to bring you to see you immediately."
Chen Changqing nodded, and then, led by a maid, arrived at the main hall of the Liu Mansion.
At this moment, Liu Ruyan was reading an ancient book in the main hall.
Seeing the maid leading Chen Changqing over, a look of joy flashed in her eyes, and she quickly got up to greet him.
"Junior Brother has emerged from seclusion!"
"How?"
Approaching, Liu Ruyan asked with a hint of urgency.
She naturally hoped that Chen Changqing would gain something from this.
After all, the stronger Chen Changqing is, the more confident he will be in this Hundred Dynasties War.
Chen Changqing nodded and replied with a smile:
"A modest achievement."
Upon hearing Chen Changqing's reply, Liu Ruyan smiled slightly.
It was keenly perceptible that although Chen Changqing's aura was still at the Purple Mansion Realm, it had gained an unfathomable depth, like a surging undercurrent hidden beneath a calm sea.
Just then, footsteps sounded outside the hall.
Looking in the direction of the sound, they saw Liu Tian stride in with his head held high.
Upon seeing Chen Changqing there, Liu Tian's face immediately broke into a smile.
"Young friend Changqing, you've emerged from seclusion!"
"Perfect! Tomorrow, come with me and Ruyan to the palace to meet the Emperor!"
Liu Tian said cheerfully that he had been worried that Chen Changqing would not be able to finish his seclusion in time, but now that he saw that Chen Changqing had finished his cultivation, he was relieved.
