"Your Majesty, this is Hongniang, the second oldest of the four Shannan ghosts, and she is in the middle stage of Qi training."

As soon as You Linzi finished speaking, he saw his second sister Hongniang step forward and said directly: "I am Hongniang, greeting your majesty."

"Your Majesty's name is as famous as thunder in my ears. I often hear it in the mountains. I admire you very much~"

As she spoke, her beautiful eyes moved, her brows moved slightly, and she secretly flashed a seductive look at Zheng Yi.

It is said that the Emperor Zhengyong of Dayu was very lustful and had three thousand beauties in his harem. I wonder how many of them became beautiful women because they were favored by him.

Maybe he was secretly practicing the method of dual cultivation, which required a large number of beautiful women.

Hongniang thought to herself that she was not very pretty, but if she could catch the emperor's eye and become a concubine in the harem, wouldn't that be much more comfortable than being a servant?
If I could gain the favor of Emperor Zhengyong, wouldn't I have enough spirit stones for daily practice?

Sitting on the dragon throne, Zheng Yi vaguely guessed what Hongniang was thinking, but he did not comment.

According to the information provided by Tian Xingzi, the four ghosts from Shannan are all people from the demonic world and are also robbers. They are best at robbing houses and practicing magic skills.

The four brothers all have their own specialties of magic, and are very difficult to deal with.

For example, the eldest of the four, You Linzi, used the technique of possession to seize the body of his own child, and then used the technique of blood attraction to practice the "Heavenly Evil Corpse Fire", and his methods were extremely brutal.

The second one in front of him, named 'Hongniang', is the best at the art of collecting and replenishing energy and the art of seduction.

Countless male monks died under her spell, and she was the most vicious.

His current behavior of being obedient and well-behaved is just a self-disguise when facing powerful monks.

Once you are coveted by it or become its enemy, you will inevitably be strangled secretly.

Although he needed female monks to practice and enhance his own qualifications, he also looked down on such people.

In addition to these two, the other two also practiced different magic skills.

Zheng Yi smiled faintly and said, "Since you four brothers are willing to serve the country, as long as you work hard, I will treat you all equally."

"By the way, why don't the other two introduce themselves?"

"This is."

In the hall, Hongniang smiled awkwardly and retreated.

The remaining two of the Shannan Four Ghosts, the middle-aged man with the pockmarked face stepped forward and said, "Junior Ling Xuzi, a cultivator in the middle stage of Qi training, greets His Majesty."

Ling Xuzi, Qi training level 5, the third of the Four Ghosts of Shannan.

Although his skills are different, he has refined a rare treasure, the 'Ghost Sword', which has great damage to ghost-like creatures, and can also shock the souls of cultivators.

Among the four brothers of Shannan's Four Ghosts, he is the most ferocious in killing techniques.

"Ah."

Zheng Yi nodded, his eyes turning.

Among the four Shannan ghosts, the old man who seemed to be the oldest but for some reason ranked last smiled and showed his big yellow teeth and said: "Your Majesty, you can call me Lao Huang. I have forgotten my name~"

Lao Huang, the fourth of the Four Ghosts of Shannan, is a cultivator in the middle stage of Qi training.

Although he is old, he is willing to be the last.

The method of cultivation is to refine ghosts, which can refine ordinary ghosts into fierce and evil ghosts to kill enemies.

In order to search for the rare "spiritual ghost", he spent decades, and finally found a very rare medium-grade spiritual ghost, which he refined into a ghost soldier.

His overall strength is mostly above that of the ghost soldier.

"Not bad."

Zheng Yi clapped his hands and said, "The Four Ghosts of Shannan, I have also heard of your reputation."

"But I am not a conservative person. I cannot let go of the past. From now on, as long as the four of you are loyal to me, I will not let you down."

"But, I don't want to see or hear about your methods of using mortal lives to practice magic like before. Do you understand?"

As soon as the words fell, a cold aura suddenly gathered on the four people.

Zheng Yi’s meaning is very simple.

In the past, you might have slaughtered mortals at will in order to obtain their essence, blood, soul, etc. because of your skills, spells, or other reasons.

But from today on, he will no longer pay attention to the previous practice writing methods and will not use them anymore.

Young Linzi's expression was stern, and he said, "Your Majesty, the methods that my four brothers practiced were cut off from the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, so we could only go astray."

"And now, with the spiritual stones bestowed by His Majesty for cultivation, my four brothers will naturally not go down that evil path again."

Zheng Yi stared at the four Shannan ghosts indifferently and said calmly, "That's the best. As long as you join my Great Yu Immortal Dynasty, the cave has enough spiritual energy and I will definitely not neglect you."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Zheng Yi turned his head again and looked at the other people.

"What are your identities and your cultivation levels? Please introduce yourselves."

As soon as he finished speaking, Mr. Shi dragged a young man forward.

The two young men who had been following behind him changed their expressions slightly, and had to follow.

"Greetings, Senior. My name is Shi Xianggui. I am a cultivator from Shepan Mountain. I have reached the sixth level of Qi training."

"This is my grandson, Shi Changfeng, a cultivator at the third level of Qi training."

Shi Xianggui's hair and beard were all white, he was dressed in coarse cloth, his face was full of wrinkles, and at first glance he looked like a man of asceticism.

"Junior Shi Changfeng greets His Majesty!"

Shi Changfeng was about fourteen or fifteen years old, not tall, with thick fingers, and looked a bit honest.

But his eyes were firm and he saluted Zheng Yi solemnly.

Zheng Yi burst out laughing. It seemed that this person didn't communicate with others often and seemed a bit honest.

"Yes, what about the other two?"

"I am Mu Xunshan, a cultivator of the fourth level of Qi training at Shepan Mountain. I am honored to meet your majesty!"

"I am Mu Xunfeng, a cultivator of the fourth level of Qi training at Shepan Mountain. I am honored to meet your majesty!"

Mu Xunshan said: "My younger brothers and I, like Senior Shi, are both born in Shepan Mountain. We have come here specially to pay our respects to Your Majesty!"

"Ah."

Zheng Yi nodded. According to Tian Xingzi, Shepan Mountain was actually a gathering place for independent cultivators.

Located in the mountains of Jizhou, adjacent to Taiyi Road, he is familiar with Zhao Xizheng and others.

Among the letters Zhao Xizheng wrote at that time, one of them was also delivered to Shepan Mountain.

Zheng Yi asked, "I have heard that there is a cultivator named 'Qingyun Sanren' in Shepan Mountain. I wonder where he is now?"

"Your Majesty knows Senior Qing Yunzi?"

Old Shi was surprised, but soon said, "Senior Qing Yunzi passed away five years ago. At that time, I and others went to pay our respects in person."

"Sitting in meditation and passing away? No wonder..."

"His Majesty."

Shi Xianggui suddenly asked again: "I heard that Your Majesty has provided a rule that those who donate soul fire can get double salary among the benefits for us cultivators?"

"good."

Zheng Yi nodded and said, "Master Shi, do you want to offer your soul fire?"

"Not bad!"

Shi Xianggui said respectfully, "I have reached the sixth level of Qi training, and I am also a spiritual planter. I know how to grow two kinds of spiritual rice and one kind of spiritual fruit, and I know the seeds. I wonder if I can ask Your Majesty for another salary?"

"Spiritual plant husband? Spiritual rice and spiritual fruit?"

Zheng Yi's eyes flashed, and he asked, "What kind of spiritual rice and spiritual fruit?"

"The spiritual rice is blood sprout rice and pure spiritual rice. Blood sprout rice can be irrigated with the blood of monsters or livestock to absorb a trace of spiritual energy. Long-term consumption can enhance one's own qi and blood power, as well as restore the cultivator's essence and blood."

"Qingling rice must be grown in a spiritual field with spiritual energy. After taking it, it can condense magic power. Although it is not as good as absorbing spiritual energy, long-term consumption will definitely nourish the cultivator's physique and meridians, making it easier to absorb spiritual energy."

"As for the spiritual fruit, it is called 'Purple Spiritual Fruit'. It is crisp and delicious, fresh and juicy. It can also be used to brew spiritual wine. It is very precious."

Zheng Yi's eyes lit up slightly, and after a little thought, he quickly said, "Old Shi, since you are sincere in joining, I will naturally not treat you unfairly." "So, after the soul fire enters the palace's reincarnation hall, your salary will be doubled."

"I will open up another spiritual farm for you at the foot of Tianshou Mountain. You can decide the size. Once you plant blood sprout rice, pure spiritual rice and purple spiritual fruit, your salary will double again."

"I can even leave a cave on Tianshou Mountain for you and your grandson. How about that?"

Shi Xianggui suppressed his excitement and said in a trembling voice, "Your Majesty, what is the Samsara Palace, and where is Tianshou Mountain?"

"The Samsara Hall is where the soul fire of the cultivators of the Great Yu Immortal Dynasty is preserved. It is guarded by a large number of formations and my death warriors, so it is absolutely safe."

"As for Tianshou Mountain..."

Zheng Yi said indifferently: "This place is the real core of our Great Yu Immortal Dynasty. The spiritual energy on the mountain is more than ten times that of the capital!"

"what?!"

As soon as Zheng Yi finished speaking, the faces of the dozen or so casual cultivators present all changed.

"Is what your majesty said true?"

"The spiritual energy in the capital is more than ten times richer than that in the outside world, and Tianshou Mountain is even richer than the capital!"

"Hiss... This level of spiritual energy is rich enough to cultivate a golden elixir cultivator!"

"No... I think even Nascent Soul cultivators can be supported..."

"This place is truly a holy place for cultivation!"

Amid the discussion, Shi Changfeng suddenly said, "Your Majesty, I am also willing to offer my soul fire!"

“Changfeng…!”

Shi Xianggui subconsciously grabbed his grandson's arm. He didn't have much time left, so it was nothing to give up his soul fire. It was just to save more spirit stones for Shi Changfeng.

However, Shi Changfeng has strong aptitude and is very young, so he may have a chance to build a foundation in the future.

But if he sacrificed his soul fire at this moment, he would be bound to the Dayu Immortal Dynasty for the rest of his life.

"Grandfather, I have decided to join the Dayu Immortal Dynasty. Your Majesty is the greatest emperor in the history. I think from now on, there will be no force in the entire Dayu that can compare with Your Majesty."

"If you don't join now, when will you?"

Shi Changfeng's words also caused discussions among the surrounding cultivators.

Especially the two brothers Mu Xunshan beside them, they also spoke up: "Your Majesty, we two brothers are also willing to donate our soul fire and join the Great Yu Immortal Dynasty!"

"Hahaha...good!"

Zheng Yi laughed and said, "Come here, take the four Taoist friends to the inner room."

"Go and call the Imperial Concubine, and ignite the soul fire with the four Taoist friends."

"Here!"

Chen Liancang came out immediately and respectfully led Shi Xianggui and the other three to the inner room.

Then Zheng Yi looked at everyone else again.

The four Shannan ghosts looked calm, but their eyes were very excited and their breathing was a little disordered.

From time to time, he looked in the direction where Shi Xianggui and the other three left, wondering what he was thinking about.

In addition to them, there is the remaining team of five.

The five people were three men and two women. The three men were also in a trance at this moment, attracted by the conversation just now between Zheng Yi, Shi Xianggui and others.

As for the girls, one is older and the other is younger, and they are both different.

The older woman among them still looked calm.

Zheng Yi also forgot to look over here.

Among the five people, the one with the highest cultivation level was also the older woman.

Late stage of Qi training!

Feeling Zheng Yi's gaze, the woman among the five people took a step forward and said:

"He Huan Sect Li Huan, nice to meet you, fellow Taoist."

Zheng Yi asked doubtfully: "Hehuan Sect?"

"good."

Li Huan said: "My Hehuan Sect was inherited more than 3,000 years ago. It is the same period as the Tianji Sect where Taoist Tianxingzi came from and the Wanshou Wujiang Sect where Taoist Xiong Gang came from."

"It's a pity that the spiritual energy has been extinguished, the path to immortality has been cut off, and now there are only a few of us left in my Hehuan Sect."

Zheng Yi said: "As expected of a great sect that has been passed down for thousands of years, Daoist Fellow Li Huan is probably only one step away from the foundation-building stage."

Li Huan smiled and said, "Your Majesty, that's great. That step is like a natural chasm. It's as difficult as ascending to heaven to break through it."

"Today, I have brought my disciples to the palace to seek a cave to help me break through."

"Oh?"

Zheng Yi asked doubtfully, "Daoyou Li Huan, you should know that once you join our Great Yu Immortal Dynasty, you must forget about the affairs of the past sect."

"From now on, you are a member of our Great Yu Immortal Dynasty, not a member of any sect or school!"

Li Huan smiled calmly and said, "This matter is something that I naturally know."

“If it were a thousand years ago, I would probably still have a little obsession with the sect.”

"But the immortal road is cut off. Until now, there is no sign of spiritual energy revival in other areas... except where you, Your Majesty, are!"

"If that's the case, why should I bother with the affairs of a sect or a school?"

"Your Majesty must be aware that there are only a few people left in the Tianji Sect and the Wanshou Wujiang Sect."

"The Hehuan Sect of this Immortal has some special cultivation techniques, which is why it can gather so many disciples."

"Otherwise, I'm afraid we're even worse than the Tianji Sect and the Wanshou Wujiang Sect!"

"Dual cultivation technique?"

Zheng Yi looked at Li Huan and the woman behind her with a strange look.

"Have you two already practiced the Hehuan Sect's skills?"

Li Huan said indifferently: "Your Majesty, you want to ask whether we already have a dual cultivation partner?"

Zheng Yi couldn't help but admire the woman's broad mind and nodded, "Not bad."

No matter whether it was Li Huan or the disciple behind her, although they were just standing there quietly, it did not hide the fact that they were both beautiful and charming beauties.

The Hehuan Sect is good at dual cultivation and charm techniques.

And their charm techniques are not simply seductive techniques to seduce men.

If the level is higher and the temperament is deeper, it vaguely involves the special charm technique of divine thoughts and soul.

Ordinary seduction techniques mainly use eye contact or one's own body as guidance, and most of them also require exposing the body to achieve the purpose of seducing men.

The Hehuan Sect's charm technique, however, focuses on cultivating a certain character and temperament of the monks, so that over the long term it can be transformed into the technique of seducing others with love.

For example, Li Huan now has an indifferent mood, calm eyes, and speaks in a very calm manner, without any tone or actions that could seduce men.

But even so, she still deeply attracted the attention of the men around her.

Especially Zheng Yi.

Anyone who is attracted by the Hehuan Sect's charm will regard the other person as the love of their life for the rest of their life and will be unable to get rid of him/her.

Li Huan's eyes flickered, her light pink lips moved slightly, and she said:
"Fei'er is my disciple, and the technique I practice is the same as mine, which is the Hehuan Sect's sect-protecting technique, 'The Great Joy of the Intercourse of Yin and Yang of Heaven and Earth'."

"The method is to comprehend the yin and yang energies and practice. During the Qi training period, one must condense one's own extreme yin or extreme yang energy without damaging one's body."

"Only after building the foundation can the corresponding yin and yang energies be accommodated."

Only at this moment did Li Huan's face turn slightly red.

"So, both I and my disciple Fei'er are still virgins." (End of this chapter)
