Chapter 91 The Power of the Dragon and Elephant! A Turmoil in the Imperial City!

Chapter 92 The Power of the Dragon and Elephant! A Turmoil in the Imperial City!

The battle between Shen Yan and Li Jinglan lasted no more than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea.

The outcome was already decided, and those below the stage had thought that Shen Yan would be easily crushed.

Unexpectedly, the tables turned, and it was Li Jinglan who fell to the ground.

Shen Moxuan chuckled and said, "Young people should indeed be humble and modest. If you don't have any real skills, it's better to keep a low profile."

Li Guyun's face flushed red, whether from shame or anger, it was hard to tell.

After giving a cold snort, he prepared to leave.

Shen Moxuan called out softly, "Where is the Thousand-Year Fire Spirit Ginseng?"

"Hmph! Don't worry, someone will deliver it in a couple of days. You'll get your share."

Li Jinglan, lying on the ground, looked shocked, her eyes fixed on Shen Yan.

I can't believe what I'm seeing.

Seeing that Li Guyun was preparing to leave, he didn't want to stay there any longer.

He said to Shen Yan, "My name is Li Jinglan. Sooner or later, I will get my revenge."

Shen Yan said calmly, "You don't need to tell me your name. Today is the moment when the gap between us is the smallest in our lives."

"You—you're really arrogant!"

Li Jinglan picked up the longsword from the ground and left without lingering for a moment.

Shen Rong was overjoyed; he never expected Shen Yan to bring him such a big surprise.

He sighed to Shen Yan, "You are becoming more and more unfathomable to me. In another two years, I'm afraid I won't be a match for you anymore."

"Brother Rong is joking; it was a narrow victory."

Shen Rong shook his head and laughed, "You won by a narrow margin, and it really was a close call."

Shen Ci also came over at this time.

With a solemn expression, he said to Shen Yan, "Shen Yan, thank you so much for your help this time!"

"You're too kind, young master. I did receive payment."

Shen Ci couldn't help but feel fortunate that Shen Yan had saved the day; otherwise, things would have been really difficult to handle today.

If Li Jinglan tramples on them tonight, the Shen family will never be able to hold their heads high again when they encounter anyone from the Prince of Zhenbei's Mansion this year.

Where there are people, there will be conflict. Although Xun Gui Group is relatively united, there are still internal contradictions.

The civil officials fought each other to the death, and the Great Zhou Dynasty maintained a strange balance amidst such struggles.

Having mastered the "Dragon Elephant Prajna Sutra," Shen Yan had no intention of taking the Shen family with him.

"Young master, the matter entrusted to me by Brother Rong has been settled, so I will not stay any longer."

Shen Ci naturally wanted to persuade Shen Yan to stay a little longer, after all, he was the great contributor to the Shen family tonight.

However, eager to study the secret manual at home, he could only let Shen Yan leave in the end.

Go home.

Shen Yan closed the door and eagerly opened the "Dragon Elephant Prajna Sutra".

"It turns out that you can gain the power of a dragon and an elephant with each breakthrough. This technique doesn't even require a medicinal bath to break through."

This was the first time Shen Yan had ever seen a cultivation technique that did not require external assistance to break through.

However, the difficulty of practicing the "Dragon Elephant Prajna Sutra" was somewhat beyond his imagination.

"Each breakthrough becomes twice as difficult, and it takes a thousand years to reach the thirteenth level of perfection."

Shen Yan couldn't help but smile wryly, "No wonder Shen Ci repeatedly tried to dissuade me from learning this technique."

No wonder no one has ever been seen to reach the pinnacle of this skill, with a lifespan of a thousand years. Who could live that long?

Perhaps only legendary immortals exist.

However, the basics of the Dragon and Elephant technique are quite simple.

Shen Yan memorized the cultivation method after reading it once.

Legend has it that as long as one cultivates to the ninth level, one can rival a first-rank martial artist. Shen Yan dared not imagine what the thirteenth level of perfection would be.

After careful study, Shen Yan discovered why the "Dragon Elephant Prajna Sutra" was so difficult to complete.

Generally, a high-level cultivation technique only requires activating 108 acupoints throughout the body to reach perfection, but this technique requires activating 360 acupoints throughout the body to reach perfection.

It's far more difficult than a first-grade martial arts technique.

Shen Yan exhaled a few breaths of stale air, calmed his mind, and prepared to begin his cultivation.

When practicing the Dragon Elephant Prajna Sutra, one must be free of distracting thoughts, like a monk in meditation, without being impatient or having any external thoughts.

Shen Yan continued his cultivation in the courtyard.

The moon sets and the sun rises.

At dawn, Shen Yan opened his eyes, estimating that he would be able to master the skill in another two or three days.

It truly lives up to its reputation for being easy to learn, with virtually no learning curve.

Of course, it is also related to his sixth-rank strength.

Upon arriving at the prison, they found that all the servants of the Yan and Zeng families had already been killed, leaving only Yan Yun and Zeng Huaijin in the jail.

Aside from the first few days after he entered the prison, when Shen Yan tortured Zeng Huaijin a few times, he ignored him after that.

Because the two families never shortchanged the prisoner again, and even gave them more money.

Shen Yan couldn't even find a way to get through, but the environment of the prison was torture for the two pampered young masters.

He opened Zeng Huaijin's cell.

"You can leave now; your sentence is served."

Shen Yan was somewhat disappointed that Zeng Huaijin and Yan Yun only had one month of imprisonment.

Watching their departing figures, I sighed softly.

"Two more fat sheep have escaped from this prison."

The jailers around him shuddered upon hearing this; they would rather receive less money than have these two bastards stay in the dungeon.

Shen Yan's actions last night have earned him considerable fame among the officials in Bianjing.

After making inquiries, they learned that Shen Yan was actually the prison warden of the Heavenly Prison.

Everyone sighed, lamenting that the Shen family was truly wasting talent, leaving such a master as a minor jailer in the imperial prison.

It's really a pity.

The Lunar New Year is just around the corner, and the prison has returned to its usual tranquility.

No more important figures were imprisoned, but there were plenty of people from the martial arts world.

Shen Yan had no idea why these people had to cause trouble in Bianjing during the New Year.

The fact that no one would explain why the jailers used torture was giving him a headache.

These roughnecks were hot-tempered and penniless, not even having two taels of silver in their pockets.

Ma Danian complained to Shen Yan about this quite a bit, since cells A and B were lucrative and not as strenuous as cell C.

Shen Yan could only ask Qi Xuan to comfort him.

He's busy practicing the "Dragon Elephant Prajna Sutra" and doesn't have the time or energy to deal with Ma Danian.

Finally, a few days later.

I've finally gotten the hang of the Dragon Elephant Prajna Sutra.

Shen Yan's consciousness sank into his mind, and he saw another figure appear on the golden Dao Fruit.

This time, the little figure is fiery red, and it seems to emit the roaring sounds of dragons and elephants.

Every move he made was incredibly fierce. Shen Yan began to look forward to seeing what kind of strength he would gain once he had mastered this extremely difficult technique.

A few more days passed.

When the New Year arrived, Shen Yan was on duty at the Imperial Prison that night and didn't go anywhere else.

He had no relatives or friends here and always felt like a piece of duckweed on the river, unable to put down roots.

Looking at the bright moon in the sky, Shen Yan couldn't help but sigh.

"The moon shines brightest in my hometown."

Countless fireworks streaked across the night sky above the imperial city, briefly illuminating the world.

This is Emperor Xuanwu sharing joy with the people, and he does this every year.

Emperor Xuanwu, who had not held court for thirty years, would only appear in the imperial city on New Year's Day.

Just then.

Shen Yan heard a deafening sound of fireworks.

boom!

He couldn't help but exclaim, "This year's fireworks were really loud!"

But not long after, he heard the sound of bells ringing.

Something terrible has happened.
