He used his mental force to suppress Gao Jiuqu, making him circulate his energy within the mental domain.
After half a day, he bid farewell to Gao Jiuqu and went to his own courtyard.
Inside the courtyard, Weng Qifeng was practicing in the front yard, motionless like a withered tree.
Chu Zhiyuan entered silently, and Weng Qifeng didn't notice.
Even when Chu Zhiyuan came close to him, he still didn't notice.
Chu Zhiyuan stood there quietly watching until Weng Qifeng suddenly opened his eyes.
Seeing that it was Chu Zhiyuan, he breathed a sigh of relief and said embarrassedly, "Your Highness."
Chu Zhiyuan smiled and asked, "How is it going?"
"Soon," Weng Qifeng said excitedly, his eyes shining, "It won't be long before I can advance to Grandmaster."
Chu Zhiyuan encouraged him, "Don't rush, take your time. The path has already been found, and haste makes waste at this time."
"Yes," Weng Qifeng nodded excitedly.
Chu Zhiyuan asked, "Do you already have the Grandmaster's cultivation method?"
"Yes," Weng Qifeng said, "After reaching Grandmaster, I will continue to refine my heart."
"What realm can you reach by refining your heart to the end?" Chu Zhiyuan asked.
"Nothing exists outside the heart," Weng Qifeng said, "It is said that when you reach the highest realm, things are born when the heart moves, and things die when the heart is still. The life and death of all things are in a single thought, in the movement and stillness of the heart."
"That's amazing," Chu Zhiyuan said with a smile, "Has anyone reached the highest realm?"
"As far as I know, no one has," Weng Qifeng said, "Being able to reach Grandmaster is already top-notch."
Chu Zhiyuan nodded.
In that case, the Mingxin Sect doesn't have a method to go further either.
Looking at it from all angles, the Phoenix Cry Nine Heavens Art is more reliable. Does he really have to rely on external force?
He thought of the Fearless Great Perfection Hand Seal.
As soon as he thought of it, he formed the hand seal, and a vast power surged forth, directly pouring into the Laogong acupoints of his palms.
The Golden Building seemed to have become an illusion, allowing the power of the Great Perfection Hand Seal to pass through without hindrance.
Chu Zhiyuan tried several times. No matter whether it was a forward cycle or a reverse cycle, no matter what route he took, he couldn't touch the Golden Building.
He really wanted to pass this power through his dantian, but every time he had this idea, his intuition told him it was dangerous.
Obviously, the spiritual energy and the power of the Fearless Great Perfection Hand Seal would clash, and one of them would have to die, and he would suffer.
This was an extremely dangerous thing.
After trying all the methods, he could only recognize one fact: the path of external force was blocked.
The so-called external force here, pure external force was not feasible, it required external force originating from oneself.
It needed to be transformed into his own power to touch the Golden Building.
Did he need to use spiritual energy to refine the power of the Fearless Great Perfection Hand Seal?
But spiritual energy and this power were incompatible, and it was absolutely impossible to merge them into one.
Refining was impossible. The two could only live in peace, and the power of the Fearless Great Perfection Hand Seal would always be an external force, and it was impossible to become his own power.
He fell into deep thought.
Weng Qifeng was in shock, looking at Chu Zhiyuan in surprise.
Seeing his appearance, Chu Zhiyuan knew that he rarely went out and didn't know that he had become a Grandmaster. Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Mr. Weng, I just broke through to Grandmaster two days ago."
"As expected of Your Highness," Weng Qifeng exclaimed in admiration.
He couldn't quite describe his feelings at that moment, they were too complicated.
He had entered the Perfect Grandmaster realm twenty-five years ago and had been grinding for so many years without being able to fully enter.
Was this the difference in talent?
He was still lucky. If it were someone else, they would probably be speechless and question the heavens.
Chu Zhiyuan smiled and left.
He observed the changes in Weng Qifeng.
The Golden Building was faintly visible at the center of his eyebrows, hidden in thick clouds.
From this, it could be determined that the Golden Building originally existed at the center of the eyebrows, rather than being added later.
The gate of the Grandmaster was to eliminate the thick fog. Eliminating the fog was to step into the Grandmaster realm.
But the problem now was that knowing this was useless. The specific method of eliminating the fog might be different for everyone, or it might be a secret technique.
It was already dusk when Chu Zhiyuan returned to the palace.
The snow had been mostly cleared away, with only the roof still covered in white.
The family of four sat in the front hall eating, talking as they ate.
Chu Zhiyuan was in a heavy mood.
He received a letter from Chu Mingrui, mentioning that he had been poisoned.
This poison was very strange, spiritual pills were ineffective, and it was lingering and difficult to remove.
Now, they could only claim to the outside world that he was seriously ill to avoid shaking the morale of the army.
Recently, he had not gone out, and no outsiders had approached him.
Chu Zhiyuan felt heavy-hearted.
This meant that it was the work of an internal traitor.
And Chu Mingrui was surrounded by trusted people, but there was still an internal traitor.
This was the truly terrifying thing.
The ineffectiveness of spiritual pills was also a problem.
As the King of Ying, the God of the Great Jing Army, and the head of the Tianbao Department, spiritual pills from the Tianbao Department were definitely available to him.
The Tianbao Department's first-grade spiritual pills were also ineffective, which was extremely troublesome.
Grandmasters should have also taken action, but they were still unable to remove the poison.
Chu Zhiyuan immediately thought of the Worry-Free Sect.
The Worry-Free Sect was the best at poisoning, and could be considered the best at detoxification.
But the emperor and the Worry-Free Sect were currently at odds. He didn't know if they had invited experts from the Worry-Free Sect.
He thought about it and decided to send the Poison-Repelling Pearl over, and also planned to talk to Meng Canglan.
If the Worry-Free Sect had taken action, then fine. If they hadn't, he would ask the Worry-Free Sect to send experts to try.
The strange poison had to be解毒, and the internal traitor had to be removed.
How to remove the internal traitor was also a troublesome matter.
Bai Ning霜 said, "I heard from the Empress that the tenth prince is sick."
Chu Minghou was puzzled, "The tenth brother has always been strong, how could he be sick?"
After reaching Perfect Grandmaster, it was almost impossible to get sick.
But once they got sick, it wouldn't be easy to recover, and it was often a serious illness.
Bai Ning霜 said, "Maybe he's too tired. The northern border is relying on him now, and the tenth prince has always been very stressed."
"We can't find anyone to replace him," Chu Minghou shook his head helplessly and said, "It's really hard on him."
"The capable ones do more work. I've figured it out, you can't be too capable," Bai Ning霜 said with emotion, "The more capable you are, the more the emperor will use you."
As she spoke, she glanced at Chu Zhiyuan.
Chu Yi giggled and said, "Big brother is the most capable, could it be that he's going to replace tenth uncle?"
Bai Ning霜 quickly said, "Your tenth uncle is a general, your big brother has never been a general, so of course he can't."
She was most afraid of Chu Zhiyuan going to the battlefield.
The battlefield was different from the martial world. No matter how strong your martial arts were, they were useless on the battlefield.
Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Mother, don't worry, I am now a Grandmaster, I can't go to the battlefield anymore."
Bai Ning霜 was relieved and smiled, "Who's afraid of you going to the battlefield? ·---It's a pity for your tenth uncle, he's so young and already so tired. You must take this as a warning."
"Understood."
As they were talking, Feng Xi came in to report that the Grand Justice had sent someone to carry over a box.
Chu Zhiyuan quickly said, "Carry it to my courtyard."
He knew that it was the evil sect statue collected in the forbidden palace secret vault, which was his basis for tracking down the evil sect.
With them, he could sense the experts of the evil sect.
