"pass away?"
"good."
Chen Liancang said: "After Senior Zhao Suzhen returned to the capital, he originally wanted to see Your Majesty, but unfortunately you were in seclusion, so this old servant stopped him."
"Senior Zhao Suzhen has been waiting for three days. Seeing that he is very anxious, I asked him."
"According to Senior Zhao Suzhen, Senior Zhao Xizheng's life span has long been on the verge of extinction. He obtained the purple spiritual ginseng in order to refine a pill that would increase his life span."
"It's a pity that the refining of the purple ginseng pill seems to have failed. Senior Zhao Xizheng is in even greater danger."
"After Senior Zhao Suzhen advanced to the foundation-building stage, he saw that Senior Zhao Xizheng's life span was coming to an end, so he personally went to the overseas cultivation world to seek medicine to increase his life span."
Chen Liancang sighed and said, "Old Heavenly Master Zhao Xizheng didn't want Senior Suzhen to go to the Huanwang Cultivation World at all, and even went down the mountain to look for him himself. Unfortunately, he still couldn't persuade Senior Zhao Suzhen, so he had no choice but to return to the mountain."
"According to what Senior Zhao Xizheng said, the journey to overseas cultivation world is long and extremely dangerous, and people's minds are unpredictable and it is difficult to guard against hidden arrows. Senior Zhao Suzhen has a simple mind. If he goes to overseas cultivation world alone, it is easy for him to get into trouble."
"Fortunately, Senior Zhao Suzhen is a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage. Even if something happens, as long as he is not in a life-threatening situation, he should have no problem escaping."
"The overseas cultivation world..."
Zheng Yi murmured that he had long wanted to send someone to investigate the overseas cultivation world.
The reason for building Yuelong Palace was to cultivate young and loyal monks.
Unexpectedly, in the end it was Zhao Suzhen who went there first.
Fortunately, Zhao Suzhen is already a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage. Although he is in the early stage, he can still crush all the cultivators in the Qi Condensation Stage.
As Chen Liancang said, as long as you are not trapped in some secret realm or formation, it is very easy to leave.
Zheng Yi nodded and said, "I have already known about this matter. I will choose a day to go to Mount Daizong to visit the old Heavenly Master."
"Also, place shadow guards and naval forces at coastal ports to monitor the sea at all times so as to meet Zhao Suzhen and those coming from overseas in advance."
"promise!"
"How is Yuelong Palace?"
Before going into seclusion, Zheng Yi specifically asked several monks under his command to focus on Yuelong Palace in order to train young monks.
Not only the young cultivators gathered from the folks, but even the royal descendants, as long as they had spiritual roots, would go to Yuelong Palace to practice.
The number of monks under his name is still too small.
According to Zheng Yi's idea, there should be monks stationed in every prefecture, even every county among the thirteen states, more than 230 counties, and 3,100 counties of Dayu.
Only in this way can he control the entire Dayu and regard the entire Dayu as his exclusive property.
In this way, all the cultivation resources in the entire Dayu area will be supplied to him first.
Zheng Yi's ultimate goal is to benefit hundreds of millions of people and cultivate himself.
At least thirty monks must be stationed in each provincial capital.
There are at least ten monks stationed in each county town.
Each thread requires at least two people.
In this way, it would require at least tens of thousands of monks loyal to him to achieve this.
But now, even if we count the concubines in the harem, there are only more than thirty people, which is far, far short of the number.
However, Zheng Yi also knew that this matter could not be rushed.
Only by relying on these thirty or so monks as the foundation and developing slowly, can the number of monks slowly increase and finally reach Zheng Yi's expectations.
However, Zheng Yi still had some anticipation in his heart, the Nine Infants Fruit of Reincarnation!
The essence and blood set last time have been consumed long ago, so I have to add more this time.
The next selection of beauties is also prepared for the blood sacrifice of the Nine Infants Fruit of Reincarnation.
Chen Liancang said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the cultivation speed of the cultivators in Yuelong Palace is quite stable. The fastest among them are Xu Fengxiong and Her Royal Highness the Princess."
"Xu Fengxiong, as a cultivator with natural spiritual roots, has now advanced to the late stage of Qi training at an extremely fast speed, and is now consolidating his foundation."
"This person's talent is rare in the world. Taoist Tian Xingzi and Senior Xiong Gang both like him very much and are willing to teach him everything they know."
"Even the Imperial Concubine visited once and imparted some of her experience as a cultivator with a natural spiritual root."
"The other disciples also practice very hard and have almost no rest time."
"Yes, Not Bad."
Zheng Yi nodded slowly and said, "Oh, there is one more thing. The spiritual roots of the disciples in Yuelong Palace are different. In addition to cultivation, let's see if anyone has talent in the hundred arts of cultivation."
"I will bestow upon you a batch of cultivation manuals and techniques for your disciples to choose from."
"Yes... Your Majesty!"
During the battle on Jueling Island, Zheng Yi collected dozens of storage bags, among which there were several jade slips recording various arts of cultivation, including alchemy, weapon forging, formations, puppetry, etc.
The most famous of these is called "Qinghe Danfa".
It is the lifelong learning of a Jindan stage alchemist named Qing Hezi. It records the alchemy methods he learned throughout his life, as well as various precautions.
Most importantly, it also records thirty-six first-level elixir recipes and eleven second-level elixir recipes.
Among them, the recipe for the Foundation Establishment Pill is included!
"Your Majesty, there is one more thing."
"What's the matter?"
"The Imperial Concubine's family is coming to visit. How should we arrange it?"
"Family? Who?"
"The Imperial Concubine's aunt is named Tuoba Wugou, and the Imperial Concubine's niece is named Tuoba Lingyun."
Zheng Yi asked: "What about the Tuoba family?"
"The Tuoba family... is still in Yunmengze and has not left."
"Humph! I asked them to move their entire clan to Tianshou Mountain, but they have been dragging their feet until now. It seems that they are not convinced."
"The Tuoba family has been passed down for thousands of years, longer than the founding of the Great Yu Kingdom. It is normal to have such thoughts."
Zheng Yi said coldly: "But now is different from the past. I will not allow the Tuoba family to continue to be independent of Dayu!"
"Where are these two? I'll go and see them."
"Qingying Palace!"
"Go to Qingying Palace!"
"promise!"
Qingying Palace, located in the northeast of the Imperial Palace, was built by special personnel from the Ministry of Works.
The entire palace is located on a small lake.
The lake is sparkling and thousands of lotus flowers are blooming, which is very quiet.
Zheng Yi came to Qingying Palace through the small bridge connecting to Qingying Palace.
"This slave has met Your Majesty!"
Many palace maids and eunuchs, led by the leading aunt, hurried out to meet the emperor.
Zheng Yi frowned and asked, "Where is the person in charge of the palace?"
The leading aunt hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, the Imperial Concubine has been in seclusion for cultivation and has not left the palace for half a year."
"Now in the palace are two relatives of the Imperial Concubine."
"My name is Tuoba Wugou, nice to meet you, Fellow Daoist Zheng."
At this moment, a gentle voice sounded, and a middle-aged woman in a gray Taoist robe came out.
Behind her, there was a 28-year-old girl who looked quirky.
The girl was wearing a pink long skirt with a red tassel and a goose yellow silk ribbon tied around her waist. She was not wearing any makeup, but she looked very tender and young, like a lotus bud that had just opened, very lovable.
It seems that these two people are Tuoba Wugou and Tuoba Lingyun.
Zheng Yi said: "I guess this must be Daoist Fellow Tuoba Wujiu and Daoist Fellow Tuoba Lingyun?"
"good."
Zheng Yi suddenly asked: "How is my palace?"
Tuoba Wujiu didn't know why Zheng Yi asked this, but he still said loyally: "It is full of spiritual energy, with outstanding people and beautiful scenery. It is indeed a blessed place."
"Oh? If it is a blessed land, why is the Tuoba family still unwilling to move?" "Please forgive me, Brother Zheng. Yunmengze is the ancestral land of our Tuoba family after all. Everyone in the family is a little upset after leaving for a while, and we are still trying to appease them."
"Thousands of years ago, my Tuoba family has been living here, with millions of people under our command..."
"People?"
Zheng Yi shook his head and said, "They are my people, not your Tuoba family's."
"This……"
Tuoba Wugou gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I am just afraid of leaving my hometown."
"I grant your Tuoba family two mountains with abundant spiritual energy, which are enough to support thousands of cultivators and disciples of your Tuoba family. This is a great favor that other sects and families do not have."
Zheng Yi said bluntly: "Just ordinary people, how can that be the reason why your Tuoba family doesn't want to leave?"
"Well, what is it for?"
Tuoba Wugou's expression changed, and he finally said helplessly:
"My brother was seriously injured and has not recovered yet. The elixir I made is not enough to cure him completely."
"My brother, time is running out, and he is unwilling to leave Yunmengze before he dies."
"Ok?"
Zheng Yi was surprised and asked, "Tuoba Wufeng is not dead yet?"
"What are you talking about!"
Tuoba Lingyun, who was standing by, raised her eyebrows and suddenly said, "My uncle was injured by you, and you also forced Aunt Qingying to marry you. Now you want to drive us away from Yunmengze."
"It's really... too abominable!!!"
“Lingyun!”
Tuoba Wugou's face changed and he quickly pulled her.
"Lingyun is still young, and her words are not to be taken lightly. Your Majesty the Sea King, please forgive me."
Zheng Yi said indifferently: "Of course I won't bother with a little girl, but I still have to explain."
"Tuoba Wufeng intended to assassinate me, and killed many of my subjects and subordinates. I did her a great favor by not killing her. What else do you want?"
"As for Tuoba Qingying, it's the same."
"The defeated should pay the price. Do you think that if your uncle and aunt want to kill me, I should just accept the death?"
"Ah, this..."
Tuoba Lingyun was stunned and wanted to say something, but couldn't say it at all.
Zheng Yi also immediately thought of something. It seemed that the Tuoba family had not told Tuoba Lingyun the true ins and outs of the matter.
In other words, it is a modified version.
This caused Tuoba Lingyun to feel somewhat hostile towards Zheng Yi, but he did not dare to say anything.
Zheng Yi looked Tuoba Lingyun up and down, and suddenly smiled and said, "Lingyun is still young, and I like her very much. Why don't you stay in Qingying Palace for a few more days?"
"There are also the Fairy Peak and Canglong Peak that I have prepared for your Tuoba family. You two can also take some time to go and have a look."
"Humph! You don't have to tell me that we will also wait here for Auntie to come out of confinement."
"Let's go back."
"promise!"
Looking at Zheng Yi's leaving back, Tuoba Wugou sighed secretly in his heart.
Is this the emperor's demeanor?
Shoushan himself had also secretly investigated that day and found that the spiritual energy was extremely abundant, ten times, or even twenty or thirty times richer than that of their Yunmengze!
Tianshou Mountain is the main peak, and there are ten other peaks around it, guarding Tianshou Mountain.
In order to win over the Tuoba family, Emperor Zhengyong was even willing to grant them two mountains.
Fairy Peak and Canglong Peak.
The spiritual energy of these two mountains is no less rich than that of the main peak, Tianshou Mountain.
There is even a spiritual river under the Fairy Peak, which is the place with the most abundant spiritual energy among the ten branches.
If it were in the past, such a great favor would have already been accepted by the entire Tuoba family.
These gifts were given by Emperor Zhengyong out of respect for Tuoba Qingying.
However, my eldest brother Tuoba Wufeng is now seriously injured and dying, and cannot be moved easily.
After all, the Tuoba family has lived in Yunmengze for thousands of years. If they want to leave at once, it is unknown how much it will cost.
Because of this, the clan was even divided into two factions, arguing all day long.
She brought Tuoba Lingyun to Beijing this time to seek Tuoba Qingying's opinion.
After all, as a foundation-building cultivator, and the only one in the entire Dayu territory, her opinion carries a lot of weight in the Tuoba family.
As long as she opened her mouth, the future of the Tuoba family was almost decided.
"What are you so proud of?"
Tuoba Lingyun curled her lips and said, "Auntie, this emperor is so rude, he doesn't look like a member of the clan at all..."
Tuoba Wujiu shook his head and said, "Emperor Zhengyong is the Emperor of Dayu after all. He is not arguing with you for the sake of your Aunt Qingying."
"Be careful when speaking in front of him in the future. If you offend him, my Tuoba family may be overthrown at any time!"
In the Yunmengze today, in addition to their Tuoba family, there is also the 100,000 navy of Dayu.
If there is any unusual movement from the Tuoba Family, the 100,000-strong navy will immediately capture the entire Tuoba Family.
Under such heavy pressure, she had no choice but to come to the capital to seek help from Tuoba Qingying.
Tuoba Lingyun pouted and said, "Lingyun knows, but when will Aunt Qingying come out of seclusion? We have been waiting for more than a month."
"Come on, come on..."
Tuoba Wujiu suddenly thought of something, and then said nervously: "I heard that Emperor Zhengyong is very lustful, with three palaces, six courtyards and seventy-two concubines. He seemed to have taken a fancy to you just now."
"what……"
Tuoba Lingyun said anxiously: "He, he is Aunt Qingying's Taoist partner. According to our relationship, I should call him uncle. How, how could he possibly like me?"
"Auntie, you are overthinking..."
"Do not."
Tuoba Wujiu shook his head and said, "I have secretly inquired about it. Emperor Zhengyong is very lustful towards women. There are three concubines in the palace who are mother and daughter, and they live together."
"what……"
"Also, he detained more than a hundred elderly palace maids who were about to leave the palace, and even wanted to break their virginity before he was willing to let them leave the palace."
"what……"
"So, to sum up, you must not walk around in this palace at will, and you must not stay alone with him."
Tuoba Lingyun was anxious: "Then, what should I do?"
Tuoba Wujiu's eyes rolled and he quickly thought of something.
"So, from now on, until you and I leave the palace, you must stay in your aunt Qingying's Qingying Palace and you are not allowed to leave."
"In Qingying Palace, Emperor Zhengyong might not dare to do anything to you for your aunt's sake, but I dare not say anything about other places."
"Then, what about you, aunt?"
"I?"
Tuoba Wu Gou blushed, glared at her and said, "I am old, even if Emperor Zheng Yong is eager, he will never fall in love with me."
"Besides, I still have to go to Tianshou Mountain."
"Tian Shou Mountain? Auntie, haven't you been there before?"
"I went there secretly last time, but this time I have the approval of Emperor Zhengyong, so of course I have to go openly."
"Not only is it Tianshou Mountain, but there is also the Yuelong Palace that my aunt has inquired about, which is also under Tianshou Mountain."
"Your aunt Qingying wrote to me before, saying that there is a monk with a golden spiritual root in Yuelong Palace!" (End of this chapter)
