Chapter 442
The next day, Xu Que was in high spirits, arriving outside the Empress's sleeping palace with a smile on his face.
Xu Que was very happy. In the past, when he hit Er Gouzi, he could feel pain in his hands, but after hitting it all night last night, he only gradually felt pain. This shows that his physical body strength has reached a very profound realm. In the future, after absorbing the other attributes of the Pluto Prison Suppression Body to perfection, it is very likely that he will truly become a saint in the flesh.
"Knock knock!"
"Little girl, I'm here!"
"Come in!"
Xu Que knocked open the door of the sleeping palace and stepped inside.
The Empress was originally reading an ancient book, which seemed to be a technique. Seeing Xu Que arrive, she didn't hide it and generously placed the ancient book back on the table.
Xu Que didn't care and directly stated his purpose.
He wanted to break into the Water Yuan Kingdom's Imperial Tomb today, pluck the Primordial Water Spirit Grass, and then he could prepare to find Duan Jiude to settle the score!
After hearing this, the Empress nodded slightly with a smile: "Originally, I thought you would be in danger entering the Imperial Tomb, but seeing you undergo the tribulation yesterday, I knew there was no need to worry! Go ahead!"
"Haha, you're too kind, it's just a little bit of strength. You haven't seen my truly powerful moves yet, such as the Old Man Pushing the Cart, the Immortal Plucking Grapes, etc. If there's a chance, let's practice together!" Xu Que issued an invitation with an innocent face.
"Okay!" The Empress smiled and nodded, but vaguely, one could see that her interest was not high; she seemed to be worried about something.
Xu Que thought she was worried about the dragon vein problem, so he said: "By the way, a few days ago I already found a new dragon vein. Although it's not as good as the current one, in time, that new dragon vein will also grow strong and protect the Water Yuan Kingdom!"
"There's no need to rush this matter for a moment. It won't be too late to transfer the dragon vein after you have found all five spirit grasses," the Empress replied softly.
After all, the influence of the dragon vein on a kingdom is indeed not particularly large, and it won't change immediately, so there is really no need to rush this matter.
But Xu Que still captured a trace of worry in the Empress's eyes; she seemed to have really encountered something.
"Little girl, are you okay? Why do you look like you have something on your mind? Come, tell your uncle!" Xu Que asked with a smile and sat opposite her.
But as soon as he sat down, Xu Que noticed that the ancient book the Empress had just been studying on the table actually had five large characters written on the cover—"One Qi Transforming into Three Pure Ones"!
Damn, what's the situation? The Empress actually has this technique too?
Xu Que was immediately stunned. When he acquired the Zhai Bao Pavilion before, he had obtained the "Third Volume of One Qi Transforming into Three Pure Ones" from a technique, and in the system's evaluation, this technique belonged to the Star Rank, even more powerful than the Heaven Rank.
It's a pity that the effect of the technique was not what Xu Que had imagined; it couldn't transform into three clones, but instead was something about changing fate, which made him lose interest directly.
"It's nothing, it's just that the technique I'm practicing has encountered some difficulties!" The Empress smiled and shook her head.
"Is it this 'One Qi Transforming into Three Pure Ones'?" Xu Que asked.
The Empress nodded: "That's right. If you are interested, you can take it and look at it. It has some insights about the Dao, which are very good. But remember not to practice it; you are not suitable for practicing this kind of technique!"
"According to what I know, the rank of this technique is not low, so you just lent it to me to look at so casually?" Xu Que feigned surprise.
The Empress was also slightly stunned: "You know this technique?"
Immediately, she smiled and shook her head again: "Although the rank is very high, it has been divided into six volumes. For so many years, I have only obtained the first and second volumes. The remaining volumes have probably been lost in the long river of history and are difficult to find. So it's not worth your time to practice."
"That's not necessarily true. You must know that where there is a will, there is a way. Everything must be tried to know!" Xu Que said with a grin.
The rest can't be found? That's truly great; this King of Acting Cool has the third volume on him!
"It's very good that you have this mindset, but some things cannot be forced. My father and mother spent their whole lives finding the first two volumes of this technique. Now I don't even have a clue about the whereabouts of the third volume; I'm afraid I won't be able to collect them all in this lifetime," the Empress said with a faint smile. When mentioning her parents, a small ripple appeared in her eyes.
After hearing this, Xu Que finally understood; it turned out that what she was worried about was not being able to find the other volumes of "One Qi Transforming into Three Pure Ones".
Immediately, Xu Que asked: "Last time, Empress Bing Ning once told me that your fate is not good, but I don't think there's anything wrong with you. Why do you still want to practice this technique to change your fate?"
Upon hearing this, the Empress couldn't help but be silent. After a while, she looked up at Xu Que and smiled slightly: "My fate is indeed not good!"
"It's fine, with me here, your fate will become good!" Xu Que smiled and almost reached out to touch the Empress's head, but she had an invisible solemn temperament, which made Xu Que feel a bit embarrassed and produced a feeling that she could not be profaned.
However, regarding Xu Que's words that with him here, her fate could become good.
The Empress didn't care either, always maintaining a smile and nodding slightly.
This made Xu Que a bit unable to sit still. Could it be that this King of Acting Cool's words have no infectious power? Hmph, it seems I have to use my ultimate move.
"Little girl, how about I perform a magic trick for you!" At this moment, Xu Que said.
"Magic?" The Empress was stunned, seemingly not understanding the meaning of this word.
"It's a kind of trick, for example, I can conjure up what you want out of thin air, and you have to agree to one condition of mine. It's a fair exchange magic trick!" Xu Que began to bluff.
Upon hearing this, the Empress couldn't help but be a bit interested.
She knew that this guy Xu Que acted strangely and didn't play by the rules, so he always made her calm and indifferent heart unable to help but feel curious.
"You can conjure up what I want?" The Empress asked with a smile, not holding much expectation, because she knew clearly that there is no such method in the world!
After hearing this, Er Gou's expression changed drastically. It flew hundreds of meters away and ran for its life.
Upon hearing this, the Empress was also stunned.
Could it be... there really is such a method?
"Little guy, if that's the case, then you cannot perform this kind of method!" The Empress shook her head. Whether it was true or false, she didn't want Xu Que to pay such a huge price.
"It's fine, as long as you can keep your promise afterward and fulfill the condition you agreed to, the physical strength and lifespan I consumed will come back," Xu Que continued to bluff, making this matter sound like a deal with the devil.
After hearing this, the Empress hesitated for a moment, seemingly thinking that this was a bit impossible, and said softly: "Little guy, then tell me, what condition do you want?"
Xu Que's eyes lit up, and a smile appeared at the corners of his mouth, but he feigned profundity: "Just give me an Empress, and I can pry up the whole earth!"
