Gold Core Is A Star, You Call This Cultivating Immortality?

Chapter 16 Seeking Help from Empress Jinli!

An hour later, Qi Yuan was panting heavily.

After confirming that there was no one behind him, he lay down in a valley.

"This is not a game, this is a matter of life and death!"

After killing a dozen or so secluded demons, hundreds and thousands of demons surrounded him directly.

He kept running, exerting all his strength, and finally managed to escape.

Qi Yuan sat up, his face filled with confusion. "How did the other demons find me?"

He was puzzled.

"Could it be that all the demons have the same perception?"

Qi Yuan thought of the insect race he had seen in an anime before.

In that anime, the entire insect race was controlled by a mother body, using the same system.

"If that's the case, it's troublesome!"

If that were true, Qi Yuan's plan to divide and conquer would be ineffective.

He was distressed.

This game map was even more difficult to clear than he had imagined.

"Should I ask Jinli for help?

Maybe she has some game strategies."

Qi Yuan thought and sent a message: "There are too many demons in the Forbidden Zone.

Today, I saw a forest full of loincloths. The scene was extremely shocking. If I took a picture with my phone and posted it online, it would definitely go viral!"

"Today, while hunting demons, I encountered some problems."

Qi Yuan explained the problems he had encountered and sent the message.

"Do you have any strategies on your end? Send them to me, I would greatly appreciate it!"

...

"Prime Minister, the Emperor has returned to the palace." A man in a robe respectfully said, "The people we sent out are gone."

Simat Ting was playing chess. Upon hearing this, he laughed and ignored the man in the robe. Instead, he said to the civil official playing chess with him, "Bo Chang, are you sure you want to place your piece here and capture mine?

My pieces are connected, with true eyes everywhere. The overall situation is already determined, you are already in a losing position."

The civil official, upon hearing this, flattered and joked, "My chess skills are far inferior to the Prime Minister's. The situation is already lost, but I can still capture one of your pieces."

Simat Ting laughed heartily in response.

The current Empress Jinli was like a black piece on the chessboard, with no way out.

A trapped beast will still fight, but death is only a matter of time.

The civil official took advantage of the situation and said, "Six days from now, Lady Qin will be defeated, and we will rise up and attack. By then, Nanqian will be under the Prime Minister's control."

Simat Ting's smile deepened at these words.

Although Nanqian was already under his control, it was nothing compared to having it legitimately.

...

Jinli was in a good mood.

She had just met with Lady Qin and presented her with the Emperor's Medicine, Jiuhua Qiluo.

With this Emperor's Medicine, Lady Qin's injuries would no longer be a problem.

Moreover, Lady Qin might even be able to step into the realm of a Sovereign Level!

This was undoubtedly an uplifting matter for Jinli.

In a world where strength was respected, having one more Sovereign Level powerhouse gave her more confidence in dealing with Simat Ting.

And all of this was thanks to Qi Yuan.

Thinking of Qi Yuan, her emotions became complicated.

At this moment, Linglong Yuxi once again emitted a brilliant light.

She took out Linglong Yuxi, and her joyful emotions increased. She looked at the contents inside, carefully observing them, much more seriously than when she read official documents, word by word.

When she saw that Qi Yuan was in danger in the Forbidden Zone, her heart skipped a beat.

When she saw the trees in the Forbidden Zone covered in loincloths, a smile involuntarily appeared on her face.

"Information about the Forbidden Zone?"

When she saw Qi Yuan asking for her help, she immediately became concerned.

"I will help you find information about the Forbidden Zone.

Be careful until I have results."

"Oh, thank you for your concern."

Qi Yuan's message was quickly replied to.

"Let me tell you, the demons in the Forbidden Zone are really strange..."

Qi Yuan spoke incessantly.

Jin Li listened attentively.

At this moment, she no longer held the identity of the empress. In her eyes, Qi Yuan was not the mysterious and powerful expert. They were just old friends who could have heart-to-heart conversations.

After half an hour, Jin Li looked at the books on the throne with a frown. "There is so little information about the clothing and hat prohibition?"

There was only one thin book in front of her, and there were only a few pages about the clothing and hat prohibition.

And all of these introductions were common knowledge and couldn't help Qi Yuan at all.

"Summon Dong Shishun, the Grand Academician of the Wenyuan Pavilion," Jin Li said.

Dong Shishun, the Grand Academician of the Wenyuan Pavilion, was one of the most knowledgeable people in the Southern Qian Kingdom.

And Dong Shishun was also from Jin Li's faction. She hoped to obtain information about the clothing and hat prohibition from him.

Not long after, Dong Shishun appeared in the Luan Hall.

Jin Li asked directly, "Master Dong, do you know anything about the clothing and hat prohibition, especially the introduction to the clothing and hat demons?"

Dong Shishun hesitated upon hearing this.

The clothing and hat prohibition was one of the four prohibitions and one of the unique features of the Wangyue Continent.

It was thousands of miles away from the capital of the Southern Qian Kingdom.

Why would Your Majesty ask about these things?

"Report to Your Majesty, I don't know," Dong Shishun answered truthfully.

The clothing and hat prohibition was too far away, and information about it was indeed scarce.

Jin Li felt a little disappointed upon hearing this.

Couldn't she help Qi Yuan?

However, at this moment, Dong Shishun seemed to hesitate about something and finally spoke, "Your Majesty..."

"It's fine to speak your mind."

"At the Yugu Mansion, there may be books that contain information about the clothing and hat prohibition."

When he was young, the Duke Yugu had personally visited the clothing and hat prohibition. Dong Shishun knew that there were books about the clothing and hat prohibition in the Yugu Mansion, and they were quite detailed.

The reason why he hesitated was that the relationship between the Duke Yugu and Your Majesty was very bad, even to the point of being hostile.

The Duke Yugu's daughter was the former noble concubine and the current mother of Your Majesty, who was the previous empress.

The noble concubine and the empress had a grudge against each other and the noble concubine died unexpectedly in the palace.

The Duke Yugu blamed the empress for this matter.

In passing, he also developed a hatred towards Your Majesty.

Jin Li realized that if she asked for the books, she would definitely be given a hard time.

Jin Li also realized this, but she was still very happy in her heart because she had finally found a clue.

She brushed her sleeves and said, "I will personally visit the Duke Yugu!"

She didn't have many subordinates, and if she sent someone to ask the Duke Yugu for the books, they would definitely be recognized, so she might as well go herself.

Being given a hard time was nothing.

As long as she found information about the clothing and hat prohibition, it didn't matter.

...

Late at night, Jin Li left the Duke Yugu's mansion with the book in her arms.

She had been kneeling for too long, and her legs were a little uncomfortable, but her face was filled with a smile.

The Commander of the Forbidden Army, Hua Xian, supported Jin Li and his eyes were filled with anger. "The Duke Yugu has gone too far. He knew very well that Your Majesty had a leg injury in her early years, yet he deliberately gave you a hard time. Your Majesty is of noble birth and extremely honorable. How could he make you kneel for three whole hours during the mourning ceremony for the late noble concubine?"

Hua Xian was both angry and helpless.

During the reign of the previous emperor, imperial power had already declined and was controlled by Sima Ting.

Later, Sima Ting killed all the members of the imperial family and supported a young girl to ascend the throne.

No one in the court paid much attention to Jin Li, the emperor.

She saw Your Majesty kneeling for several hours and felt extremely distressed.

For an ordinary person, kneeling on the ground for three hours was a torturous experience.

Someone who had been pampered since childhood would probably have fainted long ago.

Even an ordinary adult would probably find it difficult to endure.

Only those who had truly kneeled for three hours without moving would understand how painful it was.

Although Empress Jin Li had some cultivation, she was not very strong, and her leg was injured. Otherwise, she wouldn't have made a fool of herself when she ascended the throne.

Kneeling on the ground for three hours was also unbearable for her.

"It's alright. At least I have obtained what I wanted," Jin Li tightly hugged the book, feeling satisfied in her heart.

PS: The title of this book is not very good. I might change it tomorrow. If there are readers reading this, please pay attention and don't get confused.

Finally, please continue reading and recommend this book. Thank you!
