The post station was located not far from the city gate. There was a place specially set aside for the preparation of horses.
Li Zongjiu was also sitting on a chair to rest. He was also flipping through the daily updates of the Shengyan dynasty's school. This was a very good invention, but in some small places, there were not many people who could read. This thing was also called an official report.
Some of the things published in the report were also things that the Shengyan dynasty wanted people to know.
For ordinary people, it was enough to be able to obtain the information in the report.
Relatively speaking, it was still quite authoritative.
"Next autumn, the crown prince will be appointed. So soon …"
Li Zongjiu looked at the report. Now, the dozen or so princes of the royal family were all driven out of the palace. Some went to the border, some went to the border, some went to study, and some went to do business.
Of course, it was not as simple as imagined, but in short, these princes could not be idle.
If they wanted to be appointed as the crown prince, they had to make some achievements and let people know their strength. They also had to let the people of the world see their strength.
Of course, there were also quite a lot of invisible battles. After all, they only had a year. In this year, they had to make some achievements and at the same time, they had to save their own lives.
They had to become the master of the Shengyan dynasty and dominate the world.
Who wouldn't want such supreme power?
"If I remember correctly, the crown prince seems to be the most inconspicuous 14th prince. This boy is very insidious."
Li Zongjiu thought.
Li Zongjiu still remembered these things from his previous life. After all, Li Zongjiu had lived for three thousand years. Most of his time was in the Shengyan dynasty. The changes in the world and some changes in the situation were closely related.
He did not know if there would be other changes. After all, after his rebirth, many things would change.
For example, Li Changjiang could have been in charge of the Li family, but because of Li Zongjiu's appearance, his life was rewritten.
Many fates would also be rewritten. For example, King Qing Yuan, who wanted to cause trouble. Oh right, the 14th prince, because he killed King Qing Yuan, became a favorable competitor and finally succeeded in becoming the crown prince.
Li Zongjiu just read the report to pass some time. It was a hot afternoon, but Li Zongjiu heard the sound of branches. He looked up and saw that the city gate was closing.
And the notice board had already posted a martial law order.
The reason for the martial law order was very nonsensical. In order to prevent the spread of the poison in the city, the city was cleaning up. During this period, no one could enter or leave the city.
Basically, Northern Medicine City was a place to grow spiritual herbs.
Who didn't know the principle of keeping one's health and getting rid of insects? How could they use such an excuse? Did they really think that the ordinary people were idiots? Although they knew that the other party had casually found a reason, once the city was under martial law, if they still wanted to force their way out, they would be chopped into eighteen pieces or thrown into the dungeon.
"What's going on?"
Li Zongjiu looked at the tightly shut city gate. In addition, a large number of city guards had also set up a formation at the city gate. No one was allowed to approach the city gate. Otherwise, they would be killed immediately.
This kind of ferocious aura made the ordinary people somewhat unable to avoid it.
"It's under martial law. Don't worry."
The young man of the courier station glanced at him and said.
"Your horse is fine, but now it's under martial law. You can't leave. It seems that it will be closed for two or three days. You might as well stay here for two nights."
This was too much of a coincidence.
Although this small city gate couldn't stop Li Zongjiu.
Li Zongjiu wasn't the kind of person who liked to cause trouble. Moreover, with his level of cultivation, his intuition told him that someone was watching him.
Li Zongjiu's intuition told him that this martial law might have something to do with him.
"Then I'd like to see who's so unafraid of death."
Li Zongjiu nodded. Since he couldn't leave the city, he might as well stay here for now.
Just as well, he could take out the Boundless Stone in his hand.
Li Zongjiu found a cheap inn nearby.
This inn only had two floors. The first floor was the dining area, called the canteen. The second floor was the guest room.
There weren't many guest rooms, only five in total.
When Li Zongjiu arrived, there was only one room left. It was in the middle of the passage.
Li Zongjiu didn't suspect anything. After checking into the room, he sat on the bed.
Although the room's environment was ordinary, for someone like Li Zongjiu who had lived in the open, he didn't feel anything.
If he took out the meteorite in this room, it would instantly smash through the floor.
Therefore, Li Zongjiu had to cut the meteorite in the storage ring. This made it more difficult, but with Li Zongjiu's current mind power, it wasn't impossible.
"Whoosh!"
Li Zongjiu sent his mind power into the storage ring.
Li Zongjiu's mind power also condensed into a thin line and gradually cut the meteorite. During the process of condensing his mind power and cutting the meteorite, Li Zongjiu felt an extremely strong resistance.
A repulsive force.
It almost shattered Li Zongjiu's mind power.
"This guy is so tenacious."
Li Zongjiu couldn't believe it. If he continued, his mind power would be crushed by the repulsive force. In that case, Li Zongjiu's mind power would be damaged.
However, this provided Li Zongjiu with a way to temper his mind power.
As long as he stopped at the end of this limit, he would be able to increase the power of his mind power by repeating this process.
"This is a good method. Although the Stone of Vast Sea hasn't been taken out, it has the effect of restoring mind power."
Li Zongjiu thought.
Although this method was a little difficult, why wouldn't he be happy if he could improve his Mind Power cultivation?
It could be said that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to improve his mind power cultivation.
"Seems like I'll have to concoct more Yuan Increasing Elixirs to complement my cultivation. Otherwise, I'll still be in danger in the Imperial City."
Once they passed the test of the Heavenly Star Medicine Manor, they would be sent to the manor to cultivate.
The Heavenly Star Medicine Manor was located in Sacred Flame City.
Sacred Flame City was filled with experts, and Yuan Ancestor martialists and even Yuan Monarch martialists could be seen everywhere. Of course, Yuan Monarch martialists were basically the treasures of the various families. Under normal circumstances, they wouldn't show themselves easily. However, it wasn't difficult to meet some Yuan Monarch martialists.
It was precisely because of this that Li Zongjiu needed more power, more strength, enough to protect himself.
After he finished studying at the Heavenly Star Medicine Manor, Li Zongjiu would find a way to break through to the Absolute Saint Realm.
After that, he would return to Luoxia City and build his own territory and power.
He wanted to protect the Li Family and ensure that they could survive in the midst of the turbulent times of the world.
Night fell.
Li Zongjiu tried to use the meteorite to temper his mind power several times. Although the process was extremely painful, he could feel the benefits it brought. Li Zongjiu could feel the obvious benefits.
Although his mind power hadn't broken through to the next level.
Li Zongjiu's mind power had become extremely resilient.
Buzz …
Suddenly, Li Zongjiu felt an omen in his mind. Immediately, Li Zongjiu exited his cultivation state.
"It's finally here?"
