Infiltrating Yangling

"The Evasion Technique, the Nine Revolutions Qi Uniting Technique!"

Having learned a great deal in the Kunlun Sacred Land, Zhang Xuezhou never expected that the highest level of Medical School skills would grant him the ability to avoid death.

The advantage of Evasion Technique lies in having defensive capabilities at every stage, while the Nine Revolutions Harmonizing Qi Technique can prolong life at low levels and theoretically grant immortality at high levels.

These are two different protective abilities, but they do not conflict with each other.

"I'm really going further and further down the path of prioritizing survival!"

It's not Zhang Xuezhou's style to not learn a top-tier skill once he gets his hands on it.

Moreover, this top-tier Medical School skill is not picky about school of thought and is highly adaptable; even someone from the Yin-Yang School could potentially master it.

After pondering for a while, Zhang Xuezhou felt that he seemed to have gone astray in his cultivation.

He's a mage in the game, but he's a mage who excels at survival rather than dealing damage, taking on the role of a tank.

"No problem, after all, someone like me has only ever focused on survival, and has never asked for anything else!"

Zhang Xuezhou reflected on his distorted spiritual practice and ultimately concluded that it made no mistake.

"Cousin, I feel like your life after becoming an official is even more dangerous than before," Rong Tianding said with concern.

"Don't let the 'Yang' in Yang Mausoleum fool you; that place is filled with yin Yin Qi," Zhang Xuezhou said. "I've been plagued by Yin Qi because of this yin energy. I'm planning to find an opportunity to meet with His Majesty and ask him to adjust my official position."

Zhang Xuezhou did not intend to hide anything from Rong Tianding, but matters involving the Empress Dowager were indeed not easy to share.

He only hoped to be transferred to another official position as soon as possible, so as not to be stuck in the post of the Imperial Carriage Attendant.

"His Majesty is in the palace; it probably won't be easy for us to see him," Rong Tianding asked.

Rong Tianding had been repeatedly rebuffed these days, unable even to enter the Imperial City District. The strict hierarchy made Rong Tianding give up any hope, let alone any thought of seeing His Majesty.

"Think about it, think carefully about the person you encountered when I was just about to fall asleep last time," Zhang Xuezhou reminded him.

"That person... you mean?"

"He is His Majesty!"

Rong Tianding belatedly realized what was happening, and when Zhang Xuezhou confirmed it, he gasped in shock.

"What does His Majesty want with us?" Rong Tianding asked in surprise.

"I don't know either, but I guess it's a private matter," Zhang Xuezhou said. "Since he wants to see me, I can find a reason to see His Majesty in the future!"

"That's good. When we see His Majesty, we'll change our official positions. It doesn't matter if the rank is lower, as long as we don't get involved with any bad luck," Rong Tianding said with a sigh of relief.

"Those in the court are having a hard time, and I'm afraid His Majesty's days are not going to be easy either!"

Having personally witnessed the events Medical Officer Chunyu, Zhang Xuezhou felt that the affairs of the imperial court were unpredictable and treacherous, making it difficult to find a safe place within them, and even more difficult to secure the good fortune brought by the court's protection.

The new emperor's search for Zhang Xuezhou is bound to be troublesome.

"I wonder if it's related to the Empress Dowager?"

Zhang Xuezhou thought for a while, but lacking too much information, he couldn't figure it out and eventually had to give up.

In any case, he will have to spend the rest of his time in bed.

The time wasn't too long, and Medical Officer Chunyu recited it aloud once. Zhang Xuezhou also obtained the main text of the Nine Revolutions Harmonizing Qi Technique, which he used to adjust his incomplete cultivation.

Winter has arrived, and the sky over Chang'an City is not only dark but also dotted with fine snowflakes.

The snowflakes melted as soon as they landed, leaving the streets muddy and wet.

Even in this kind of weather, the cloth business is booming. Zhang Xuezhou couldn't help but think about Sang Hongyang, who might have some involvement in the cloth business, and planned to find some time to find Sang Hongyang to inquire about some information.

"It will be at least a month before I can find Brother Yang!"

Zhang Xuezhou pondered his own work-rest schedule, but quickly put the thought aside.

His time progress was actually quite fast. He would lie down here for a while, and then there would be twelve days of continuous travel, and more than half a month would pass just like that.

During this period, Zhang Xuezhou had very few opportunities.

Even if Zhang Xuezhou knew that the new emperor would be inspecting Chang'an City, there was still a good chance he wouldn't run into him.

Zhang Xuezhou could only wait until the matter of Medical Officer Chunyu was settled before seeking any further possibilities.

He entrusted Rong Tianding with some related matters and instructed him to insist that Rong Tianding must insist that his inability to regain consciousness for twelve days only occurred after he took office.

After some arrangements, Zhang Xuezhou slowly and deliberately began to practice the Nine Revolutions Qi Uniting Technique.

Occasionally, he would cast Supreme Purity True Technique on his head.

As a superior second-grade healing technique, the Supreme Purity True Technique ranks below first-grade techniques, but this ranking is not problematic.

Even though this technique has powerful healing abilities, the side effects of the Supreme Purity True Technique real, and its efficacy is not as reliable as that of Medical School Technique Method combined with medicine.

Zhang Xuezhou felt that he would get a patch done from time to time when his physical condition was good, in order to make his brain heal as quickly as possible.

"If I can obtain the Spirit Jade from Yang Mausoleum, I won't have to worry about the aftereffects of using the Spirit Jade Supreme Purity True Technique by nourishing my body with it. I can also heal my head quickly, so it doesn't actually fall out!"

He was thinking of finding an opportunity to pry open a piece of Spirit Jade after he stepped down, but Zhang Xuezhou changed his mind and realized that his current situation seemed pretty good as well.

Although he was still the Imperial Carriage Attendant, he was an Imperial Carriage Attendant who had been identified as a seriously ill patient by the Imperial Medical Bureau.

Given his current inability to perform his duties normally, even if Yang Mausoleum encounters any problems, it would be difficult to pin the blame on him.

"Furthermore, it would be difficult for the Empress Dowager to control Yang Mausoleum!"

Now that he could shirk his duties and lacked top-tier experts to patrol Yang Mausoleum, Zhang Xuezhou couldn't help but feel restless.

He stared wide-eyed at the night outside the window until the cold wind grew stronger and snowflakes began to fall in large flakes, covering the ground with a thin layer of snow. This made Zhang Xuezhou's soul stir.

A few seconds later, his Yang Corporeal Soul Dharma Body was drained, and his Yang Corporeal Soul Dharma Body appeared.

The window was gently pushed open, and Zhang Xuezhou's Yang Corporeal Soul Dharma Body floated out, then sped through the alley.

Once he entered the West Market, his Yang Corporeal Soul Dharma Form leaped up and floated away in the high sky.

Zhang Xuezhou's limit for using the Yang Corporeal Soul Dharma Body is 120 li, while the straight-line distance from his residence to Yang Mausoleum is only about 50 li.

This allowed him to use this magical body with great freedom.

Having pierced through the cold wind and rain, his Yang Corporeal Soul Dharma Body was already standing in mid-air above Yang Mausoleum.

The four gates of the city, Sima Gate, were tightly locked, and a few lanterns swayed back and forth in the wind on the city tower.

Zhang Xuezhou's condition did not affect the operation of the Sima Gate. He could even see Song Dongjia and Zhu Yuncheng shivering and warming themselves by the fire through the rest room on the city wall.

Regardless of whether they had officers or not, the soldiers spent their time at their fixed posts.

As long as no one forcibly steps forward to block the powerful cultivators who are trying to enter Yang Mausoleum, no one will specifically target lowly soldiers, so Song Dongjia and Zhu Yuncheng remain relatively safe.

Of course, this was also because Song Dongjia and Zhu Yuncheng were of too low a level, and the imperial court did not assign them to positions at their level. They were left to fend for themselves, and were generally given salaries as long as they lived, and replaced by the next batch of people when they died.

Zhang Xuezhou looked around for a while, and only after confirming that there was no trace of Jin Chang at the East Sima Gate did he drift away.
