”Father, this Pill is so magical, I feel that my power has increased a lot.”
Seventh Princess opened her eyes and said with a face full of pleasant surprise.
After the following test, the Seventh Princess' physical body strength had indeed reached ten thousand Jin.
One had to know that she was only at the late stage of Intermediate Ranker, but her body was actually even more terrifying than the late stage of High Leveled Martial Cultivator.
Everything was thanks to the Foundation Building Pill that Qi Tianyu had refined.
”Lord Prime Minister, looks like the Master Xiao that you are so confident in is not as it should be. It's my first time seeing someone even recognize a Pill.”
Qi Tianyu smiled as he looked at Liu Qishan, but his words made Master Xiao's old face turn purple from holding in his breath.
Although the Foundation Building Pill was an Ancient Pill and Xiao Wanfeng had never seen it making sense, he should not have called it the Body Tempering Pill.
Body Tempering Pill were the most common Pill in the world. As a Third Grade Alchemist, he should know about them very well.
For a dignified Third Grade alchemist to actually recognize the wrong Pill, wasn't that a huge joke?
Especially Prime Minister Liu Qishan, who had chimed in earlier, saying that the Master Xiao was a Third Grade Alchemist, and would definitely not recognize the wrong person. Now that it sounded so ironic, it greatly increased the effect of face-smacking.
Xiao Wanfeng wanted to cry, but no tears came out. He glared at Liu Qishan fiercely, not afraid of his god-like opponent, but afraid of his pig-like teammates.
”Haha!” Tianyu, you have truly shocked this King quite a bit. ”Not bad, not bad, our royal family has added another genius apothecary.”
Xiao Dingtian suddenly laughed out loud. His eyes were filled with gratitude and warmth, the ferocity from before deeply hidden.
”Congratulations King for obtaining such a son-in-law, a tiger with wings!”
Inside the palace, the ministers who had previously mocked and ridiculed Qi Tianyu shouted loudly in unison. These people were all old cunning foxes who knew how to see the wind and use it as they wished.
Heh! Qi Tianyu sneered in his heart, the speed at which these people turned their faces was even faster than flipping books.
Especially Xiao Dingtian. As the ruler of a nation, he had all sorts of emotions on his face.
He had previously coldly shouted at him in a dignified manner, and in the blink of an eye, he was now considered a member of the royal family.
In the past two years, he had been ostracized in his family, and the title that should have been inherited had yet to be conferred on him, so anyone with a discerning eye could see the information hidden within.
”King! Qi Tianyu sent his Black Armor Battalion alone to attack my Prime Minister's Estate, and another fifty thousand soldiers are stationed outside the city.
Liu Qishan was about to cry. Something was not right, wasn't there supposed to be an interrogation? Why did it become a one-sided show for the latter?
This turn of events was too hasty. Even the shrewd Prime Minister had not realized it until now.
”Reporting to King, this old scoundrel Liu Qishan actually dared to call the Marquis Mistress his concubine, what kind of extraordinary achievement did the Marquis establish for me, Nanyang. Even if he is gone, his wife is not someone that this old thing can humiliate.
Wang Yan flew into a rage as he roared.
The crowd was in an uproar. Although there had been rumours about this long ago, now that this matter had reached the main hall, the concept was completely different.
Marquis TIanyi was an unrivalled achievement, and could be said to be the pillar that held up the heavens for Nanyang Kingdom. Even now that he was gone, his wife could not be humiliated.
”Reporting to King, Liu Qishan had secretly transferred the imperial guards earlier, and barged into my Marquis TIanyi Palace, we are only retaliating, our Qi Family does not contain any intention of conspiring against you, I hope King can observe clearly.”
The Third Elder added.
The imperial guards were under the direct control of the imperial family, so how could the prime minister be in charge of them?
The officials immediately quieted down, not daring to continue their discussion.
”Hmph, old thing!” ”You dare to maliciously ruin my mother's reputation, it won't be too much even if I kill you.”
Qi Tianyu snorted, not concealing his killing intent towards Liu Qishan at all.
Right now, he had already displayed his great value. With his esteemed identity as a pill refiner, he was the only one capable of refining Foundation Building Pill. All forces had to curry favor with him.
Even the attitude of the King would change.
Sure enough, Xiao Dingtian's face darkened, he waved his hand at Liu Qishan, and said coldly: ”Prime Minister! But now, you have received the punishment that you deserve. On the account of your years of hard work, I will not pursue this matter any further. As for the matter of the fifty thousand strong army's rebellion that you mentioned, there's still to be investigated.
”King …”
Liu Qishan's face changed, he wanted to say something, but when he saw Xiao Dingtian's sharp gaze, he did not dare continue speaking.
His grandson was crippled, his mansion attacked, and he suffered heavy casualties.
They had originally thought that victory was within their grasp, and that Qi Family would be enough to prove the crime. However, they hadn't expected that things would take such a dramatic turn.
Qi Tianyu displayed his noble identity as a pill refiner and the only person who refined the Ancient Pill. This value was too great, and immediately changed the attitude of the King.
The Guard Commander Han Qian kept quiet, his head lowered, his heart nervous, afraid that the King would hold him accountable, but Xiao Dingtian only glanced at him once, causing him to secretly heave a sigh of relief.
Qi Tianyu squinted his eyes slightly. This Xiao Dingtian seemed to be blaming Liu Qishan, but in the end, he had casually let this matter go, even ignoring the matter of Liu Qishan secretly transferring guards.
On the surface, it seemed like he was teaching Qi Tianyu a lesson to vent his anger, but in reality, he was protecting Liu Qishan.
”Oh Tianyu, because we were busy with national affairs earlier, we did not have the time to issue an edict for you to inherit the title of Marquis TIanyi. I seriously thought about it. Right now you are still too young, so you need to train for a while. In a few days, you will be appointed. You should go to Pill And Artifact Tower with Miss Lu first, and don't delay the auction. ”
Xiao Dingtian said to Qi Tianyu.
”King, then we will take our leave. At that time, we will send someone to deliver the invitation to the auction. ”
Lu Qiuyue bowed gracefully.
Today's matter was left unsettled. However, there were surging undercurrents behind the scenes. This was because Qi Tianyu would quickly become a Pill Refiner and he would be the only one capable of refining an ancient Pill.
”Damn it, I've sweated a lot today.”
Walking out of the palace, Wang Yan was the first to let out a long breath.
Their situation before was simply too dangerous, and if Qi Tianyu had not shown enough value, they would have met their doom.
”I still need to thank Miss Qiuyue for specially coming over to help.”
Qi Tianyu smiled and thanked Lu Qiuyue.
The so-called coming to discuss refining the Foundation Building Pill with him was just an excuse, because there was absolutely no need to come to the Imperial Palace to find him.
It was clear that Pill And Artifact Tower had received the news immediately, thus Lu Qiuyue personally came to help him out.
Although his plan was to expose his identity as an Alchemist Master, the effect of Lu Qiuyue representing him in inviting him was undoubtedly better.
”Don't let anything happen to the crown prince. I'll have to rely on you for half a month's auction.”
Lu Qiuyue chuckled.
”Haha, I didn't expect the prince to be an alchemist. From now on, I want to see if those bastards still dare to suppress us.”
Wang Yan was the happiest one. In these two years, the influence of his Qi Family in the army had been weakening by the day. Most of the people leaned towards the great dukes, such as Prime Minister's Estate and the imperial guard, the Han Family.
