The so-called Vajra Realm is about tempering the body and cultivating defensive abilities.
In this respect, Buddhist practices are uniquely advantageous.
Among the many Buddhist cultivation methods, Li Chang'an chose the Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill, which is the best for cultivating the physical body!
The cultivation technique has thirteen levels in total. Each level you cultivate will increase the power of a dragon and an elephant!
This set of extremely yang and vigorous exercises cultivates both internal and external strength, and can fundamentally improve vitality.
This generates powerful qi and blood, nurturing a domineering physique!
This method of practice is gradual and progressive, allowing for the solid accumulation of physical strength and internal energy.
However, cultivation takes a very long time!
Some eminent monks cultivate diligently for a hundred years before they can reach the sixth or seventh level, and those who can reach the eighth level are all extraordinary talents!
Filled with curiosity and anticipation, Li Chang'an began practicing the Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill!
However, this set of techniques was also modified by the system according to the rules of the Snow World.
It might take a long time for others to reach the thirteenth level of perfection in cultivation, but not for Li Chang'an.
Once you reach a certain level of cultivation, you can exchange for auxiliary cultivation techniques, which will greatly increase your cultivation speed!
[Used 8000 Mortal Points to exchange for the cultivation technique Dragon Elephant Prajna Technique.]
Besides martial arts techniques, Li Chang'an also needs martial skills.
As a prince, although he rarely saw the emperor who was addicted to wine and women, he could still learn some martial arts skills.
However, the original martial arts techniques in this world are not as effective as those modified by the system.
Based on the characteristics of Buddhist martial arts, Li Chang'an selected a very practical divine skill from the shop.
[Use 4000 Mortal Points to exchange for the martial art "Dragon Capturing Skill".]
The Dragon-Capturing Skill is not only a powerful fighting and grappling technique, but also allows one to retrieve objects from a distance once mastered.
Retrieving objects from a distance is something only a Grandmaster can do in the world of Joy of Life.
Trying to do too much at once is counterproductive; one skill or one martial art is enough for Li Chang'an to master.
"Old Cao, there are some clever young eunuchs in the palace."
"I think you can train them well, and we can set up a secret service."
Cao Zhengchun chuckled, "Your Highness, shall I create another Eastern Depot?"
Li Chang'an waved his hand and said, "No, no, no, let's broaden our perspective. Not all the secret agents in this government office are necessarily eunuchs."
"Let's not call the government office 'Eastern Depot' anymore; it sounds like a cotton-fluffing factory. I've thought of a few names; you can choose one."
"Night watchmen, scoundrels, night watchmen, gravediggers, imperial guards..."
"Black Ice Platform, Six Doors, Sticky Rod Office, Shadowless Gate, Cleaner..."
"Jing'an Division, Xuanjing Division, Zhijian Division, Jianchayuan, Sangeng Temple..."
Cao Zhengchun was stunned...
Li Chang'an truly didn't care, because it was just a title.
As long as there is a government and a martial arts world, a powerful intelligence system is indispensable.
Cao Zhengchun stammered for a long time, "I've only heard of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, and I still think it sounds better."
Li Chang'an made the decision: "Then it's the Embroidered Uniform Guard!"
In the days that followed, Li Chang'an continued to practice martial arts diligently.
The Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill truly lived up to its reputation as a divine body-refining technique. Li Chang'an could feel his young body becoming increasingly robust and strong, and he never fell ill.
Several years later, when Li Chang'an was nine years old, his father, who was addicted to wine and women, assigned him a task.
Li Chang'an had absolutely no feelings for this emperor surnamed Hong.
Because this guy has more than a dozen sons, and Li Chang'an is the youngest, he's probably forgotten about them.
Cao Zhengchun was giving a detailed report on the matter: "Since the Battle of Xileibi, Western Chu has been severely weakened and is on the verge of collapse."
"However, problems arose within the Liyang Dynasty, and Prince Zhao Yi also wanted to claim the credit, so military affairs were temporarily suspended."
"The Emperor of Western Chu wrote to Your Majesty, expressing his desire to unite with us to resist Li Yang, and thus arranged your marriage to Princess Taiping of Western Chu, Jiang Si."
Princess Taiping? Jiang Si?
"With the fall of the Western Chu kingdom imminent, a thousand-person delegation was sent to express sincerity, including Princess Taiping."
Li Chang'an exclaimed in surprise, "Jiang Si is only six or seven years old, isn't she? Arranging a marriage at such a young age?"
Cao Zhengchun said, "Jiang Si's mother was a beauty of the Spring and Autumn Period, the most beautiful woman of her time, so Jiang Si is naturally no less beautiful."
"This trip is only to finalize the marriage; the main purpose is to discuss an alliance between the two sides to counter Li Yang."
Western Chu and Southern Tang are adjacent, and their fates are intertwined; if one falls, the other will be vulnerable. However, even if they unite, it will be useless, as the current fortunes lie with Northern Liang.
However, now that Li Chang'an has arrived...
This fortune is about to change hands.
In retrospect, Jiang Si was a woman destined for great fortune.
PS: 1. Vajra, Finger Profound, and Celestial Phenomenon will be divided into early, middle, and late stages, mainly to differentiate the enemy's combat strength. The protagonist will cultivate all three realms simultaneously, which will not affect the pacing.
2. Logically speaking, Jiang Si should be bigger, more beautiful, and more lively than in the TV series.
3. The world has changed, and the author will strive to maintain three updates per day!
Chapter 171 Southern Tang Emperor: You may execute my son Chang'an! (23)
Luzhou, the inner palace of the Southern Tang Dynasty.
The obese Emperor Hong was listening to a eunuch analyze the situation.
"Your Majesty, Li Yang is powerful, and they may attack us in two years."
"Western Chu is not weak either, with more than 100,000 elite troops in the country, so we cannot afford to offend them."
The emperor's eyes darted around, and he was suddenly confused.
"I listened to you yesterday and agreed to this marriage alliance. What should we do now?"
The eunuch revealed a shrewd and calculating expression, and said, "Treat the Western Chu delegation well."
"We'll agree to the marriage for now, but we won't agree to lend them any troops. We can't afford to offend Li Yang at this time."
The emperor thought for a moment and felt it was still inappropriate, "But a marriage alliance..."
A hint of coldness flashed across the eunuch's face. "Your Majesty, Chang'an was born to a palace maid, and he is still an infant."
"Using him to marry the apple of the eye of the Western Chu emperor doesn't mean we attach great importance to it."
"If the Li Yang court wants to punish you in the future, just hand over the little prince, and Your Majesty can still sit firmly on the throne."
Upon hearing these words, the emperor suddenly understood. After all, he was just the son of a palace maid, so he didn't care!
That night, a grand banquet was held at the palace.
The Southern Tang emperor personally received the Western Chu delegation, and the high level of the Western Chu delegation was astonishing.
The chief envoy of the delegation was Grand Tutor Sun Xiji, who, along with the military strategist Ye Baikui, was known as one of the "Twin Jewels of Western Chu" and was a famous minister of the realm.
For the first time ever, Li Chang'an was seated at the banquet, and even placed in a relatively prominent position.
Sitting next to him was a beautiful little girl, dressed in a yellow silk dress.
Although the girl had bright, lively eyes, she was clearly a little reserved.
Jiang Si was indeed nervous. She was so young to be choosing a husband, and she didn't understand anything about it yet.
The Southern Tang court was corrupt and incompetent; those with any real ability were sidelined, and the ministers in the court were mostly sycophants.
Sun Xiji saw this and secretly shook his head.
However, in the world today, only the Southern Tang can help Western Chu.
"Your Majesty, the military might of Liyang is currently at its peak, having already annihilated five kingdoms."
"My Western Chu Kingdom still has 100,000 elite troops, while your country has 100,000 elite soldiers and 100,000 naval troops."
"What does Your Majesty think of our proposed strategy of joint defense against the enemy?"
The emperor had a憨态可掬 smile, but he didn't utter a single truthful word.
"Grand Tutor Sun, the Southern Tang is a small and exhausted country. This small force is not even enough to guard the border."
"However, Grand Tutor Sun, rest assured, since our two families have agreed to be related by marriage, I will not stand idly by if Western Chu is in trouble..."
This is a clear excuse. If a joint defense is not possible, how can we possibly provide assistance when Western Chu is on the verge of collapse?
With Li Chang'an's current cultivation level, he could certainly hear these words clearly.
Although Li Chang'an was reborn, his appearance is actually the same as in his previous two lives.
The system has indicated that this is due to the strengthening of the soul during the reincarnation process.
