74: The Ultimate Magnetic Ore Vein——Magnetic Spirit

Actually, these medicinal herbs were just common ones for treating venereal diseases, nothing special.

The key was that Gu Changsheng secretly planted a 'Nightmare' Gu seed within Yin Xu's body.

This Gu seed could cause night sweats, weakness, and nightmares.

Combined with the venereal disease, it could probably produce an effect similar to a spring dream.

However, since it was a nightmare, the object of this spring dream would likely not be very beautiful.

It was even hard to say if it would be human... From then on, a psychological shadow would form, cutting off such desires, and with medicinal treatment, the venereal disease would naturally heal.

As for the risk of exposure... Hmph, Gu Changsheng was confident that even a True Dan Grandmaster would never detect anything amiss.

"This is the price for disrespecting the Immortal Master..."

Ordinary life always needed a bit of fun.

This matter was merely a minor warning.

Even the Great Shang Emperor was just a Puppet that could be replaced at any time.

The core of Great Shang's power still lay in the hands of the True Core Realm Old Ancestors within the imperial family.

Night.

Inside the imperial palace.

Yin Xu lay on his bed, with three beautiful palace maids beside him.

Suddenly, his expression twisted in struggle, and dense beads of sweat seeped from his forehead.

In his dream, the originally flower-like maiden turned around, revealing a burly man with a full beard and rouged cheeks.

He struggled to escape, but how could he overpower the big, strong man?

"Ah~"

The pain of the dream made Yin Xu involuntarily cry out.

The next day, Yin Xu looked dispirited, recalling last night's dream with an expression of utter despair.

"Your Majesty, is your Dragon's health better?

I heard a new batch of goods arrived in Xijiao Alley, and the taste of them..."

Jia Sidao had a lewd look on his face, as if savoring a memory.

Normally, Yin Xu would have been impatient and eager, pulling Jia Sidao along to leave.

But the thought of last night's dream instantly brought a strong wave of nausea.

"Chancellor Jia... how about another day..."

Yin Xu's face was pale, and he forced himself to wave his hand, then left.

"Hmm? What's wrong with His Majesty..."

Jia Sidao looked bewildered.

One month later, Jia Mansion.

"Chancellor Jia, what's been wrong with His Majesty recently?

The five minerals powder that was refined was returned untouched."

Yan Qing asked with cupped hands.

Hearing this, Jia Sidao also looked puzzled: "Perhaps His Majesty is tired lately... He'll only be in the mood once he recovers."

Yan Qing nodded.

Yin Xu's venereal disease was an open secret among the Great Shang's high-ranking officials.

Who knew that half a year later, this matter would escalate, developing in an unspeakable direction.

Plagued by nightmares, Yin Xu was tormented by burly men every night, eventually developing a unique fetish.

Initially, it was young eunuchs.

Afterward, the direction of his preferences became increasingly deviant.

Handsome scholars, bronze-skinned warriors... The usage of five minerals powder surged, causing immense suffering to Yan Qing's subordinates.

The fans used to fan the flames for refining the powder were almost worn out.

"I heard His Majesty recently became obsessed with the leopard room... His body is severely depleted.

My Lord, could there be someone secretly manipulating things?"

Yan Qing speculated in a low voice.

Jia Sidao shook his head helplessly: "Probably not.

The Great Shang Emperor is, after all, the face of Great Shang.

The Magical Artifact hanging from His Majesty's waist, left by a True Dan Grandmaster, can withstand most spell effects.

Secondly, more than one True Core Realm Cultivator from the imperial court has examined him and all said there were no traces of any spell.

It can only be said that His Majesty's taste... has changed."

Saying this, Jia Sidao sighed.

Seeing Yin Xu's body weaken day by day, he was more anxious than anyone.

He had many enemies, and if the Emperor died, the successor would surely target him first.

Yet Yin Xu still had no heir.

For a time, the Dynasty's situation appeared calm on the surface, but in reality, undercurrents surged, and multiple forces emerged.

They wanted to contend for the position of Emperor.

Although this position was that of a Puppet, it was related to the allocation of many resources.

Many Cultivators were coveting it.

Leaving the Jia Mansion, returning to the stronghold.

"Senior Brother, what did Chancellor Jia say?"

A blue-robed Foundation Building Realm Cultivator emerged from the shadows and asked.

During his time clinging to imperial power, Yan Qing's cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds, and one of his Daoist acolytes also successfully achieved a Breakthrough to the Foundation Building Realm, becoming his right-hand man.

"He also couldn't figure it out... The Emperor spends his days and nights in revelry... Many Cultivators are already calculating how much longer his body can last.

As short as half a year, as long as a year.

From my estimation, he won't make it past a year at most."

Yan Qing's face was ashen, dark as water.

His backer was Jia Sidao, and Jia Sidao's backer was Yin Xu.

If Yin Xu died, the mountain would collapse, and it was not something a Foundation Building Realm Daoist Cultivator like him could bear.

Perhaps he would be branded a demonic Daoist who deluded the monarch, along with Jia Sidao.

'If I cultivate to Golden Core.

These things would not threaten me at all...'

The Great Shang True Core Realm Cultivators, apart from assassinating the Emperor, could not be charged with any capital crime.

Yan Qing gritted his teeth, silently looking at the greater five viscera pill in his storage at his waist.

"Perhaps, we need to change our allegiance..."

Yan Qing murmured.

The speaker was unintentional, but the listener took it to heart.

The blue-robed Foundation Building Realm Cultivator gave a start and said: "What about Imperial Daughter Wu Mingyue?

Her character is resolute, she has the appearance of a wise ruler.

She's been recruiting recently, and has many capable people under her.

Most importantly, the True Core Realm Cultivator, Honored Li, stands with her..."

"Imperial Daughter... Wu Mingyue, huh..."

Yan Qing gave the blue-robed Cultivator a deep look... On the other side, Jielu Medical Clinic.

Gu Changsheng began his monthly divination.

"Eh?

Great fortune with a minor misfortune... From the divination, the auspicious sign actually appeared in the yuan magnetic profound ore.

It seems a treasure is about to emerge... What exactly happened with the Yuan Lian Avatar?"

Gu Changsheng looked at the cracks in the tortoise shell, frowning slightly.

At this moment.

Inside the mine tunnel.

Clatter--

A mine pit collapsed, scattering Ore everywhere.

At the end, a deep cave was faintly revealed.

"A new mine tunnel..."

The Yuan Lian Avatar lit a torch and slowly walked into it.

Inside, it was indeed a different world.

Crystal-like Yuanci profound Ore were embedded in the walls, and on them, yuan magnetic profound evil flowed like water.

"It's actually top-grade yuan magnetic profound ore!"

The Yuan Lian Avatar was immediately startled.

Only top-grade yuan magnetic profound ore, when refined to the extreme internally, would overflow with yuan magnetic profound evil.

This Ore vein could actually produce top-grade yuan magnetic profound ore.

"This should be the core of the mine..."

Suddenly, the Yuan Lian Avatar's gaze froze, and from afar, he saw a faint blue glow flash in the darkness, like a ghost fire, moving through the rock walls.

"What is that?!"

The Yuan Lian Avatar concealed his aura and quietly approached.

A misty blue spiritual entity floated in mid-air, its form like a flame, yet with a human-like face, greedily devouring the yuan magnetic profound evil.

A hint of anthropomorphic satisfaction was revealed in its eyes.

Yuan Magnetic Spirit!

Thump thump--

The Yuan Lian Avatar's breathing quickened.

Rocks, like plants, can absorb the essence of the sun and moon and similarly develop spiritual intelligence.

However, the probability of rocks developing spiritual intelligence is much smaller than that of plants.

Apart from the Black Mountain Old Demon, he had never seen a stone spirit before.
