Reverse War Surpass Immortal

"Then, Family Head, you should make some preparations, in case your friend in the court loses power, the Duan Family will be implicated! My Master was the same, he supported someone in the court, and now that person has been eliminated, my Master's whole family was exterminated! My Master has returned for revenge!"

Duan Gujin said somberly.

"I understand!"

Duan Yi's eyes twinkled, as Duan Gujin repeatedly cautioned him to stay away from the court's strife.

He contemplated for a moment and realized he indeed had been involved in the court's turmoil within Country Gulai.

Indeed, as Duan Gujin said, if his friend in the court loses power, the Duan Family could very likely be treated as his faction and eventually be eradicated by his political enemies.

Although Country Gulai is small, the struggles of the court have always been extremely vicious; it's been just over a decade since an important court official was executed along with his entire family.

Duan Yi thought about the horror of an entire family execution and immediately felt his heart skip a beat.

In the blink of an eye, three days had passed.

That day, Meng Yun brought a middle-aged man to find Duan Gujin.

After some pleasantries, the middle-aged man immediately started asking Duan Gujin about Alchemy.

The middle-aged man was fat-faced and corpulent, becoming out of breath after just a short walk.

"This is Duoling, a Second-grade Alchemist from Country Gulai; he heard you can refine Third-grade Elixir Pills, and he would like to ask you to help him refine a Third-grade Elixir called Ten Night Stand," Meng Yun explained.

Upon hearing the name of the Elixir, Duan Gujin furrowed his brows and promptly asked, "Alchemist Duoling, what is Ten Night Stand?"

Duoling laughed and said, "Ten Night Stand is an Elixir that, after a man consumes it, will allow him to perform in bed for ten consecutive nights without losing vigor."

Duan Gujin's mouth fell open in astonishment upon hearing this.

"After consuming this, a man will quickly exhaust his energy and die!"

Duan Gujin said with a face full of grief and indignation.

"We are helpless when caught in the worldly society; I had no choice!" Duoling said, his face brimming with sorrow.

Duan Gujin turned to look at Meng Yun beside him, whose face seemed devoid of any expression.

"Could it be that you...?"

Duan Gujin's complexion turned pale, thinking that perhaps Meng Yun had struck some sort of deal with this chubby man for the sake of Alchemy.

"It's not what you think, Princess, as you know, I had no choice!" Duoling said desperately.

"It's fine! I'm used to it!"

Meng Yun sighed and said. She inadvertently saw the strange expression on Duan Gujin's face and knew he was thinking in that direction.

Her pretty face flushed red, and she scolded angrily, "You shameless, lecherous men—all brains down there!"

Duoling said, "This time, I'm refining the Third-grade Elixir Ten Night Stand for a very important person; I see you're young, I wonder if you can help me refine it? There will be a generous reward upon successful refinement!"

"I can do it! I don't need your reward!"

Refining the Third-grade Elixir Ten Night Stand was not a difficult task for Duan Gujin; he was just filled with curiosity, wondering what kind of important figure would have Meng Yun bring a Second-grade Alchemist here to ask for his help in refining this Elixir.

Thus, he immediately started to refine Ten Night Stand in Meng Yun's Alchemy Room.

He quickly succeeded in refining over a hundred pills.

Seeing the finished product Duan Gujin had refined, the Second-level Alchemist was very pleased and nodded.

"Indeed, this is the Ten Night Stand I wanted!"

Meng Yun's face was full of smiles.

Two days later, Meng Yun said to Duan Gujin, "Duan Gujin, thank you for helping me refine the Third-grade Elixir that day!"

"It's nothing; the Third-grade Elixir was just a small effort! How was its effect?" Duan Gujin asked with a strange look on his face.

Meng Yun said, "Psh, it's not like I'm the one taking them, so I don't know how effective they are. The big shot who took those pills said they worked extremely well and he was very satisfied! For you, refining Third-grade Elixir Pills is just a trivial task, but for Duoling, it would be extremely difficult!"

"Hmm!" Duan Gujin was curious in his heart, he really wanted to know who the big shot mentioned by Meng Yun actually was.

"Do you have time tonight? This is a royal banquet at the Imperial Palace of Country Gulai, my father the Monarch has invited you to join us in the palace!"

Meng Yun suddenly said to Duan Gujin.

"Father the Monarch?"

Hearing Meng Yun's reference, Duan Gujin's expression changed dramatically.

"Are you saying your father is the Monarch of Country Gulai?"

"Yes! Is there a problem?"

Meng Yun asked with a blink of her beautiful eyes.

"No! Then may I know who else will be attending the banquet tonight?" Duan Gujin asked.

"No one special, just some senior officials from Country Gulai, you don't know them. Just stay beside me when the time comes!"

Meng Yun said.

"Alright!"

Following Meng Yun's lead, Duan Gujin changed into a set of new clothes and then entered the Imperial Palace.

Once inside, Duan Gujin looked around,

Soon, he saw Cao Wentian, and beside Cao Wentian was a middle-aged man who bore a resemblance to him in their features.

"Could that man be Cao Wentian's father, Cao Dingtian?"

Duan Gujin suddenly widened his eyes as he got a clear view of Cao Dingtian's appearance.

Cao Dingtian had a robust and honest face with strong features but his eyes gave Duan Gujin a cunning impression.

Suddenly, he felt a movement in his heart as he sensed a cold gaze from Cao Wentian.

Cao Wentian didn't expect the woman he fancied to be sitting next to Duan Gujin, and rage filled his heart.

Thinking back on the times he saw Duan Gujin and Meng Yun together in the Alchemy Room, he couldn't help but think they were likely engaging in intimate acts there.

The thought immediately sent him into a fury.

"Damn it! I can't believe I've been cuckolded!"

Cao Wentian's face, originally full of smiles, became gloomy in an instant, and his eyes released a cold murderous intent.

"Son, what's wrong?"

Prime Minister Cao quickly sensed the change in his son's expression.

"Nothing!"

Cao Wentian knew he was in the Imperial Palace, and he didn't want to leave any bad impression on the Monarch.

At this moment, Duan Gujin saw that an elderly man had appeared beside him, and this elderly man was the Second-level Alchemist Duoling who had refined elixir with him a few days ago.

Duoling smiled at Duan Gujin and then sat down beside him.

Duan Gujin took a deep breath – before entering the palace, Meng Yun had already briefed him on many matters.

Duan Gujin then saw a middle-aged man sitting on the Dragon Throne, the man had a pale complexion, and he wore a Dragon Crown atop his head.

Duan Gujin took another deep breath. He knew the middle-aged man must be the Monarch of Country Gulai.

He frowned slightly, and then made a judgment; the Monarch of Country Gulai, also Meng Yun's father, was a man of unbridled indulgence who would sooner or later die on a woman's belly.

"Dizzying! It seems that Country Gulai is doomed eventually!"

Duan Gujin's eyes flickered, feeling that he was now very close to the truth.
