Chapter 530: How about the Purple Mansion as an Immortal Court?

"Uncle-in-law..."

"Nephew has never begged you like this in his life; just this once, just once."

In an elegant small courtyard.

Zhu Gan stared fixedly at the middle-aged man in front of the pond not far away who was grabbing a handful of fish food and feeding the fish seriously.

The one who could be called uncle-in-law by him could naturally only be the National Teacher of Great Yu.

The National Teacher did not live in the Imperial City.

He did not even live in the capital, but had enclosed a manor of a hundred acres outside the capital as his residence; the mansion was extremely luxurious, once causing many young censors of the Censorate to impeach him, but in the end, they were all suppressed by the Holy Emperor.

Even every time the National Teacher went to court, he entered the Imperial Palace by sedan chair.

The only one in the world.

His status was so high that he was almost the number one existence in the Yu Kingdom.

His strength was also the same.

The National Teacher did not answer, still sprinkling the fish food in his hand on his own; ripples were stirred up on the surface of the pond.

The courtyard fell into a brief silence.

At this time.

A woman who still possessed charm walked over from the corridor, smiling as she looked at Zhu Gan: "It's Ding'an; why didn't you say anything when you arrived? Don't leave tonight; stay and eat together."

Hearing this.

A look of joy appeared on the corner of Zhu Gan's brow.

The woman before him was his second aunt, a woman of the Gao family.

The people of the Yu Kingdom all said that the men of the Gao family were not successful, but the women were all formidable.

One became an Imperial Consort, and one married the National Teacher.

Relying solely on marrying well, they became the most high-class family in the Yu Kingdom.

Regarding this.

Those old family heads were not envious at all.

Who told that Gao family to have such a vicious eye.

When the National Teacher married his wife, he was just a small alchemist with no reputation, and the Holy Emperor at that time was just a puppet prince brought back from Shu; who could have imagined he would have today's achievements.

This kind of vision was something one could not envy even if they wanted to.

Zhu Gan did not answer immediately, but looked at the National Teacher who was still feeding the fish.

The woman covered her mouth and laughed: "We are all family; no need to be restrained. Your uncle-in-law just has this temperament."

Afterward.

Only then did he hear the National Teacher say indifferently: "Just stay and eat dinner together before leaving."

More joy appeared in Zhu Gan's eyes.

He looked gratefully at his second aunt.

The reason the Gao family could have today's prosperity was not just because his maternal grandfather had vision, but also because his mother and the second aunt before him had a mind with seven apertures and exquisite hearts.

Many things were very difficult for him, a prince, to ask the National Teacher to do.

But with this second aunt speaking out in time, it became a relationship of a nephew asking his uncle-in-law, which could be much closer.

Pillow talk was useful everywhere.

Not long after.

Zhu Gan appeared at the table of the National Teacher's residence.

Apart from the National Teacher and his wife, there was only him.

Even the National Teacher's children were not qualified to sit at the table.

The National Teacher just ate quietly, and apart from occasionally saying a few words to his wife, he almost treated Zhu Gan as non-existent.

Thinking of what he was asking for today, Zhu Gan was inevitably uneasy.

He ate until dinner was finished.

The National Teacher actually took the initiative to invite Zhu Gan for a walk.

Walking on the winding path shaded by green bamboo, the National Teacher left Zhu Gan with a back view.

Zhu Gan looked at this uncle-in-law of his.

What he was asking for was, of course, Li Rui's heaven-defying bone structure; the matter of Dingshan had long since spread in the capital, and Li Rui's talent had already become one of the candidates for the First Rank.

If he could obtain Li Rui's bone structure, the First Rank would be in sight!

He was just a prince, not an emperor; wanting to kill a Second-Rank Heavenly Phenomenon official... there was almost no possibility.

Looking at the entire Yu Kingdom, the only one who could help him was the National Teacher.

*'He cultivates the Dao of Supporting the Dragon; since he could assist the Father Emperor back then, why can't he assist me now?'*

Zhu Gan thought in his heart.

The National Teacher cultivated the Dao of Supporting the Dragon, which the whole world knew.

So even if the Holy Emperor gave him such high treatment, he did not feel there was anything wrong; the Great Dao was more useful than all the promises in the world, and the Holy Emperor even wanted to do this intentionally, to let the dragon-supporters of the world know his broad-mindedness.

Zhu Gan had ambition.

He was a young dragon; if he could get the National Teacher's assistance, he might not be unable to become a True Dragon.

Just as Zhu Gan was thinking.

The National Teacher spoke slowly: "You and your grandfather have very similar temperaments. I will keep the matter you mentioned in mind. If the future Crown Prince can become a First Rank, it will always be good for the country and the people."

Zhu Gan's pupils widened slightly.

This was agreement!

Crown Prince—this was the first time his National Teacher uncle-in-law had proposed these two words in front of him.

Clearly, the National Teacher had already made a choice and stood completely behind him.

This was the person who supported the dragon.

In the eyes of the dragon-supporter, the emperor was very important, but who the emperor was was not important; it was even the case that the dragon-supporter needed to continuously support a new emperor to obtain dragon qi.

Establishing the Crown Prince was an extremely important step.

As for the grandfather the National Teacher spoke of, whom he had never met.

The National Teacher was one of the few important ministers in the court who had assisted three emperors; as early as Zhu Gan's great-grandfather's time, he was already an important minister in the court, and only the National Teacher could say things like "you are like your grandfather."

*'This world should be ruled by me!'*

Ambition slowly grew in Zhu Gan's heart.

These days.

He had been reading history books, so he was clear that this step had appeared in many emperors who were quite wise; how could a person who did not even have ambition be an emperor!

One must fight.

Fight with his brothers, and when necessary, fight with his Father Emperor.

Obtaining Li Rui's bone structure would be the time for him to transform into a dragon.

At that time, becoming a First Rank.

Even if his Father Emperor did not agree, he would still be able to sit on the emperor's throne; there was never a Crown Prince of the Yu Kingdom who was waited for!

"Brat, opening the Purple Mansion is a major event; you must at least open a cave dwelling of ten zhang in radius; only in this way is it possible to step into the Dao Lord Realm, otherwise, there is no hope."

"Back then, my Dao Lord opened a ten-zhang Purple Mansion, which is why he achieved the position of Dao Lord."

"Even this cannot be considered outstanding among Dao Lords."

The little old man, the artifact spirit, said with his hands behind his back, rambling on.

*'Ten zhang.'*

Li Rui thought secretly.

He had already reached the critical juncture of opening the Purple Mansion.

Once the dantian becomes a mansion, it has an effect similar to containing Mount Sumeru within a mustard seed, just like his storage bag.

Just as the little old man, the artifact spirit, said.

The larger the Purple Mansion, the more of the Great Dao it can carry.

It represents future potential.

So there are many geniuses who will even deliberately stay in the Purple Mansion Realm for a long time, just to accumulate enough foundation to open a Purple Mansion with greater momentum.

The little old man, the artifact spirit, said earnestly: "You are still young, there is plenty of time; if it doesn't work, practice for another ten or eight years, no need to rush for a moment. If the Purple Mansion is only the size of a palm, there will be nowhere to cry later."

Li Rui's mouth twitched.

Young?

But thinking about it, he was indeed considered young among those in the Purple Mansion Realm.

But... he did not intend to wait.

It was not that he was in a hurry.

Li Rui's patience was greater than the vast majority of cultivators in the world, and it was already a matter of course; there was no need to wait any longer.

*'Ten zhang?'*

He looked inside himself, toward his dantian.

If a hundred zhang is enough to achieve a Dao Lord, then what kind of realm should this magnificent Immortal Court of his head toward?
