Text Chapter 1756: Calm
Yang Zhaoqing has already chosen the location for the palace. It is the best place on this continent, with mountains, grasslands, flower valleys, springs, waterfalls, and lakes. It was originally the place for a disciple of the Moon Palace to practice, and they are waiting for Miao Yi to make the final decision.
After everyone looked at the environment here first, and then toured the entire continent, they found that there was indeed no better environment than here. As for whether there are better places elsewhere, it is useless. The Moon Palace has limited the scope and other places will not be occupied by you.
Returning here again, landing on the top of the mountain, Miao Yi nodded and said: "This is it, immediately summon skilled craftsmen to start work."
"Yes!" Yang Zhaoqing bowed his hands and accepted the order.
There are people who specialize in construction in the practice world. As long as they can afford the money, they can build anything they want.
A few months later, a magnificent and magnificent palace stood on the top of the mountain, with five big characters on the gate: Netherworld Dutong Mansion.
The sound of knives and axes still rang among the undulating mountains around. Gardens were still under construction according to the terrain, and they were the settlements of the army.
"How is it? Are you satisfied?"
One evening, Yun Zhiqiu, who accompanied Miao Yi to the viewing platform, waved his sleeves and pointed at the pavilions and towers in the palace and asked with a smile.
Miao Yi smiled and nodded. He didn't worry about this matter at all. Yun Zhiqiu took care of it. The woman seemed to be particularly interested in decorating her home. She went to Tianjie and bought a lot of things to decorate it.
As for Miao Yi himself, he tried to contact Yuexing Palace several times, but they had an attitude of never having anything to do with him.
After the construction of the Netherworld Dutong Mansion was completed, Miao Yi gradually focused his main energy on cultivation. Except for some routine matters to be dealt with, he almost never showed up again.
Basically, nothing will happen at present. The overall situation is favorable to him. The internal rectification of the four armies is not something that can be done in a short period of time. This kind of thing that will have far-reaching consequences has caused some internal counterattacks. It is strange that no one will fight hard when it comes to their lives and property. In addition, the Green Lord often makes trouble for the Four Heavenly Kings, and the four armies have no time to take care of Miao Yi.
There is nothing wrong in the Netherworld. The 100,000-strong army is pinching the money road of the Nether Spring. Although it is not fat, it can be regarded as eating enough. The benefits obtained by the Tianpin Palace are also huge. The taxes collected by the Netherworld General Office cannot be taken alone. As for taxes, naturally, a part of it should be kept by oneself, and another part should be handed over.
In Miao Yi's current situation, the current situation is already saturated, and it is unrealistic to covet any high position. His personal strength is too low, and he will not take the initiative to cause trouble. In the case of no external threats for the time being and sufficient financial resources, he can only practice.
Miao Yi had given up using the Immortal Yuan Pills for cultivation and had used the Wish Power Beads again. This not only saved more resources for cultivation, but also made it more efficient. The salary issued by the higher authorities was originally the Wish Power Beads. Miao Yi put all the Wish Power Beads of the 100,000-man army into his own pocket for use, and purchased the equivalent amount of Immortal Yuan Pills for distribution. The people below were happy, and Miao Yi also benefited secretly.
Yun Zhiqiu, Qian'er, and Xue'er also took advantage of it. The clustering effect when Miao Yi used the Wish Power Beads for cultivation was extraordinary. The Wish Power Beads required for Miao Yi's cultivation could almost satisfy the other two people at the same time. It just so happened that the four of them could not all cultivate in the quiet room, so there had to be someone outside to pass on messages. Basically, Qian'er and Xue'er took turns to be on duty outside for a month to cultivate in the ordinary way, and the other one accompanied Yun Zhiqiu and Miao Yi in the quiet room to cultivate together.
When building the Dutong Mansion, Yun Zhiqiu made plans in this regard, and the cultivation space was large enough.
The benefits of the three people cultivating with Miao Yi were far more than just saving cultivation resources. The biggest benefit was that they did not have to refine anything. Pure spiritual energy is absorbed continuously, and the progress of cultivation can be imagined. It is even less troublesome and laborious than Miao Yi himself. Miao Yi himself has to refine the wish beads to summon spiritual energy and control the gathering range of spiritual energy, while the three women can be said to be focused. There is no need to worry about anything, just sit in the pure spiritual energy and concentrate all your energy to cast spells and absorb it. The progress of cultivation can be said to be rapid, faster than Miao Yi at the same level.
In fact, Miao Yi can also bring more people to practice together, and can save more practice resources, but there are some things that really have to be kept. Some things are destined not to be known by too many people.
A hundred years later, Yan Xiu finally officially returned, and Miao Yi showed up to meet him.
On the high observation deck, Miao Yi looked around and asked with a smile, "How is the soul-calling flag being refined?"
Yan Xiu replied, "It has been initially refined, but it is still far from being perfect. With my current cultivation level, some refining methods cannot be used. I need to wait until my cultivation level reaches a certain level before I can talk about it."
Miao Yi nodded, "Well, let's take advantage of the favorable external environment and seize this opportunity to cultivate with peace of mind."
"Yes!" Yan Xiu agreed.
Miao Yi: "Did Yan Beihong say where he was going?"
Yan Xiu shook his head: "He didn't say. After confirming that I was coming back, he left. I invited him to come back to see you, but he refused. He said he would come to see you, and you know it."
Miao Yi understood what he meant. When Yan Beihong broke through to the realm of boundless magic power, he would probably come to him for help.
He sighed softly and asked himself, Yan Beihong is probably the only friend in the true sense. His former friends have become his subordinates now. He even feels that the term "friend" is hypocritical. There is no way to go back to the past now. What he is doing now is related to the life and death of too many people and the interests of too many people. He can't easily entrust it just because of a little trust from so-called friends. On the contrary, Yan Beihong always refuses to walk the same path with him. The two sides keep the distance that friends should have and maintain the relationship.
He now vaguely understands what Lao Bai told him when he wanted to become a cultivator. This road may only leave loneliness at the end.
Lao Bai repeatedly confirmed this and asked him if he really wanted to take this road voluntarily and didn't force him.
In addition to Yan Beihong, there is also Bai Fenghuang. No one knows where the fairy has gone. She ran away after the matter was done, and asked him to contact her if he has something to do. Bai Fenghuang's identity is sensitive, and he really can't keep her by his side for a long time, and this fairy took advantage of it.
Miao Yi, who rarely came out, went to Feihong's yard. Two beautiful girls came out to greet him. They were Feihong's new maids.
The person was an orphan with good character that Yang Zhaoqing personally found in the secular world. He trained and cultivated her since she was a child. This ensured her loyalty and prevented someone from planting an undercover agent. Not only Feihong, but also Lin Pingping and Xue Linglong helped to find two each. Even Qian'er and Xue'er each had two maids.
After all, when Qian'er and Xue'er reached this point, they were no different from Miao Yi's concubines, and their status was even more transcendent. There was no need for them to do ordinary chores. The two of them only served Miao Yi and Yun Zhiqiu personally. The other things were no longer necessary for them to do, and were handed over to the four maids below.
It was rare for him to come out of seclusion, so he naturally had to love Feihong. The beauty was like jade, and Master Miao could be said to have enjoyed it.
And there was a benefit after Yan Xiu came back. Qian'er and Xue'er were basically freed and could concentrate on practicing with Miao Yi. The task of passing messages was handed over to Yan Xiu, who practiced outside and served as a guardian. This kind of thing is not easy to leave to Yang Zhaoqing. It doesn't matter if Yan Xiu has no family and stays here alone for a long time. Yang Zhaoqing still has his own family, and the Dutong Mansion does need a general manager. Yang Zhaoqing's brain is the most suitable for this, and Yan Xiu is suitable for protecting the law.
The wind and waves were calm, and another seven hundred years passed in a blink of an eye. On this day, Miao Yi sat in the rich spiritual energy and counted the time with his fingers, and stopped refining the wish beads.
The spiritual energy in the room was quickly absorbed by the four people, and the second-grade colorful lotus on Miao Yi's forehead slowly disappeared.
As early as two hundred years ago, Miao Yi's cultivation had broken through to the second grade of colorful lotus. The speed of refining wish beads every day reached 3,500 in terms of Xianyuan Pills, and to break through to the third grade of colorful lotus, it would take more than 1.7 billion Xianyuan Pills, which means that it would take more than 1,300 years to break through to the third grade of colorful lotus.
Now that he has been practicing for more than 200 years, it is estimated that it will take more than 1,100 years to break through to the third grade.
Seeing the spiritual energy disappear, Yun Zhiqiu, Qian'er, and Xue'er opened their eyes one after another. The first-grade colorful lotus on Yun Zhiqiu's forehead gradually disappeared. She had only broken through to the colorful lotus realm more than ten years ago. Qian'er and Xue'er's cultivation also made great progress and reached the ninth grade of golden lotus.
Miao Yi glanced at them and secretly sighed that the six great skills were indeed extraordinary, and they were actually catching up with his own cultivation progress.
In fact, although the Star Fire Art was quite wonderful, the cultivation speed of others after the advancement of their skills was not vegetarian. They all had their own ways of cultivation. There was no reason to stand still forever, let alone the six great skills.
Yun Zhiqiu glanced at the room where the spiritual energy disappeared and asked, "What's wrong?"
"The progress of your three cultivations is amazing." Miao Yi shook his head and sighed.
The three of them looked at each other, and Yun Zhiqiu smiled and said, "We are taking advantage of you. We don't have to worry about anything or do anything. We just let go and absorb. It's more effective than doing twice the result with half the effort. Otherwise, how could we have made such progress? If I hadn't practiced beside you, I don't know when I could break through to the Color Lotus Realm. In terms of serious practice progress, I am far behind you."
The four of them sat in a circle. Miao Yi stood up, and Yun Zhiqiu also stood up and asked, "Are you going to leave the retreat?"
Miao Yi said, "I may have to go out for a few years because of something."
Go out for a few years? Yun Zhiqiu asked curiously, "Where to go? What for?"
Miao Yi: "I have something to do with Yu Luosha."
Yun Zhiqiu was surprised and said, "Isn't it over? Why are you looking for her?"
Miao Yi: "I have an agreement with her. It's not clear now. Let's talk about it when we meet." He didn't tell anyone about the matter between him and Yu Luosha, including Yun Zhiqiu. He kept it a secret because he was afraid that Yun Zhiqiu would worry. He was destined to take a risk this time. Of course, he was sure, and it depended on whether he could handle it.
"How many years? That long?" Yun Zhiqiu hesitated for a moment, frowned and said, "I'm afraid your second son's chance to get out won't be many years away, what are you going to do?"
"Don't worry, I'll try to come back before then and find a solution." Miao Yi smiled and comforted him. In fact, he was going to solve this problem and get rid of the trouble of Yu Luosha. (~^~)
