Chapter 326: Chapter 291: Yin Absorption and Yang Compensation

The matter of the military parade was decided in just a few words between Zheng Yi and Xu Mujun.

The other ministers had no opportunity to interject at all.

Even Cai Dashi agreed smoothly.

Originally, he intended to use the celebration ceremony to increase his own political achievements and thus vie for the position of Minister of the Ministry of Rites.

But now, it has been changed into a military parade by Your Majesty and Xu Mujun.

His role as the organizer also became auxiliary.

However, for Cai Dashi, not only did he have no dissatisfaction, but he even planned to listen entirely to Grand General Xu Mujun on this matter.

After all.

The military parade is definitely led by the military.

He only needs to do his duty, that’s all.

Afterwards, everyone discussed some other matters, and all the cabinet ministers withdrew.

Only Xu Mujun remained behind.

Zheng Yi said, "What else is there, Xu Qing?"

Xu Mujun took a deep breath, and with a sweep of his robe, knelt down, saying solemnly, "Your Majesty, I beg your forgiveness."

"Xu Qing, what crime have you committed?"

"I have the crime of failing to educate my son properly and failing to instruct my clan properly, causing my clan to run amok in the countryside, bullying men and women, and even committing murder, disregarding the law of the land."

"I beg Your Majesty for punishment!"

Zheng Yi shook his head and said, "The Xu clan members are the Xu clan members; Xu Qing is Xu Qing. How could I punish you for the crimes of the Xu clan members?"

Several months ago, Xu Mujun returned to the capital and, due to the crimes committed by his clan members, initiated a clan meeting.

The specific content of the clan meeting was not immediately known to Zheng Yi.

Later, after investigation by the Shadow Guard, he vaguely learned what had happened.

Xu Mujun wanted to rectify the clan, but he was obstructed by several clan elders who even used clan rules and ancestral plaques to coerce him.

Even Xu Mujun’s elders used ’filial piety’ to force him, causing the clan meeting to end unhappily.

In the past few months, Xu Mujun has taken no action and nobody knows what he’s planning.

Xu Mujun said, "Your Majesty, since my clan disregards the law of the land, I ought to be punished."

"However, since they are after all the Xu clan members, I want... to use this opportunity to rectify the family."

"Moreover, I also want to rectify the court!"

Zheng Yi flashed a look and said, "What do you mean, Xu Qing?"

Xu Mujun suddenly raised his head and said, "Your Majesty, the Xu clan members have now grown too big to control, even I have to consider the faces of several clan elders and elders, making the clan members increasingly arrogant."

"Not only the clan members, but even in the court there are many officials and nobles who actively try to draw close, and they even get involved in the struggle for the succession..."

"Struggle for the succession?"

Zheng Yi frowned and said, "I’m not dead yet, what succession struggle?"

Xu Mujun laughed bitterly and said, "It’s nothing more than for their own interests."

"So, I want to take the initiative to offer you, Your Majesty... a knife."

"Although the rebellion in the south was suppressed, the masterminds behind it were still many noble families."

"Some of these families have indeed been eradicated, but others still hide within the Imperial Court."

"I want to take this opportunity... to purge the court!"

Zheng Yi gazed deeply at Xu Mujun and said, "I understand, I agree to this."

No wonder Xu Mujun has not taken any action in the months following the clan meeting; it turned out his intentions were here.

Purge the court?

Xu Mujun’s thoughts... truly extend far!

"Go ahead and do it. After the military parade, I will enter seclusion for a while."

"I hope that after coming out, you can give me a surprise!"

Xu Mujun bowed his head again, "I... obey the edict!"

After concluding court affairs, Zheng Yi went to Qingying Palace.

Tuoba Qingying was healing her injuries, and Zheng Yi specifically waited for several hours.

When Tuoba Qingying, who had just changed clothes, saw Zheng Yi, she frowned and said, "You... why are you here again?"

"Oh? Not welcoming me?"

Zheng Yi stepped forward, taking Tuoba Qingying’s small hand, and said, "What, my beloved concubine is not welcoming?"

Tuoba Qingying twitched her mouth and said, "Wel-Welcome... huh?"

Her eyes suddenly lit up, looking at Zheng Yi with surprise, saying, "How did you break through!"

Eighth-layer Qi Cultivation!

Wasn’t it just breaking through to the Seventh-layer Qi Cultivation before, how did it advance to the eighth so quickly?

Zheng Yi hugged Tuoba Qingying and said, "I’ve always said that I’m a man of destiny, what is a mere breakthrough?"

"You..."

Instinctively hugging Zheng Yi’s neck, Tuoba Qingying’s eyes were full of shock.

To advance from the seventh to the eighth layer of Qi Cultivation took less than half a year.

Such speed is beyond her reach!

Could it be...

The man in front of her is truly the so-called man of destiny? 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

[Absorbed Pure Yin Qi, Water Attribute Spirit Root +20;]

[Absorbed Pure Yin Qi, Magical Power +20.]

[Absorbed Pure Yin Qi, Water Attribute Spirit Root +20;]

[Absorbed Pure Yin Qi, Magical Power +20...]

After another round of dual cultivation, he gained a total of 120 points in the Water Attribute Spirit Root, and even his internal Magical Power increased quite a bit.

Tuoba Qingying gasped for breath, taking a full cup of tea’s time to recover.

She suddenly sat up, grabbing the quilt to cover her modesty with one hand, supporting herself on the bed with the other, and glared angrily at Zheng Yi, saying, "Tell me! Did you master the Yin Absorption and Yang Compensation cultivation technique? Otherwise, how could your cultivation progress so fast!"

"I’ve always wondered why you have so many beautiful women in your harem, yet you only favor those with cultivation, as it turns out, it’s for the Yin Absorption and Yang Compensation!"

"Yin Absorption and Yang Compensation?"

Zheng Yi, resting on the pillow, looked with interest at the exquisite beauty partially exposed in spring light, saying, "Why would you think that?"

"It’s rumored that Demonic Cultivators are adept at taking shortcuts, relying on dual cultivation or the Blood Sacrifice Technique to advance rapidly."

Tuoba Qingying glared at Zheng Yi and said, "You’ve progressed so quickly in cultivation, yet you still deny practicing Yin Absorption and Yang Compensation!"

Zheng Yi laughed, "If it were truly Yin Absorption and Yang Compensation, wouldn’t you feel anything?"

"For instance, do you feel dry-mouthed, have weak knees, or feel like you’re floating to immortality?"

"Yes!"

Tuoba Qingying gritted her teeth and said, "You truly are a Demonic Cultivator, I’ll fight you to the end..."

"Are you a fool?"

Zheng Yi said helplessly, "What I’ve described are just normal experiences after a man and woman have been together."

"Do a little introspection of your dantian, see if your cultivation and foundation have decreased, stop coming up with silly ideas all the time."

"I..."

Tuoba Qingying paused for a moment, quickly introspected herself, and found that her cultivation not only hadn’t diminished but had even become more substantial.

"What’s... what’s going on?"

Zheng Yi suddenly became interested and teased, "I indeed mastered a Secret Technique, but it’s not Yin Absorption and Yang Compensation, it’s the Supreme Dual Cultivation Secret Technique!"

"Through this Dual Cultivation Secret Technique, both male and female cultivators can assist each other in dual cultivation, with rapid progress in cultivation."

"Such dual cultivation is excellent, whether for me or for the women."

"Otherwise, how could I have so many Daoist Companions, and how else could my cultivation advance so rapidly?"

"Dual Cultivation Secret Technique?"

Tuoba Qingying murmured, her eyes full of thought, her beautiful eyes slightly moving.

Zheng Yi was resting when he suddenly felt a pair of small hands reaching in.

He opened his eyes, seeing Tuoba Qingying beside him, looking hesitant and shy, frowned and said, "What are you doing?"

"I, I... would like to..."
