Main Text Chapter 497 Double Happiness
It was useless to think too much. He felt relieved when he learned that Yan Beihong was fine.
After replying to Yan Beihong's letter, Miao Yi entered a state of seclusion and practice again. He could be said to be immersed in catching up, hoping not to be surpassed too far by others...
Before the end of the year, the masters of Qianze Mansion, Yunsang Mansion, and Shuiyun Mansion took leave again, intending to try their best to avoid meeting those three people while walking. As a result, this time the master of the palace, Shen Huaixin, not only missed the mark, but also scolded the three of them. , how many years have passed, are you three planning to never come to Zhengui Hall again? What do the other palace masters who escort the annual payment think about it?
There is no way, Shen Huaixin's words are not unreasonable. If he really wants to remain silent, he will be criticized.
The three of them then made an appointment again to meet together and go to Zhengui Hall together.
Thinking of Yan Beihong's incident, Miao Yi suddenly turned around and waved to the three followers on the way: "You six go ahead and explore the way."
Zhao Fei and Sikong Wuwei looked at each other and understood. Knowing that Miao Yi had something to say, they both slowed down their horses' running speed.
Six Cavalry rumbled to the front. After disappearing, Sikong Wuweifang asked, "Brother, do you have anything to say?"
Miao Yi smiled, "It's nothing, I just want to ask, you two have been in the ninth level of Qinglian for so many years. When we were in Xingxiu Sea, I heard you say that you were about to break through to the Red Lotus realm. Why have you still not responded after so many years?" ?”
As soon as these words came out, both of them looked at each other and shook their heads, showing helplessness. Zhao Fei smiled bitterly and said: "To be honest, brother, I have communicated with Sikong Duo in this regard. This matter has troubled us for many years, and we often feel that a breakthrough is just around the corner. Even It feels like we’re at the point where we can get over it, and we’ve even prepared the worry-free fruits we need to break through, but we still can’t break through!”
Sikong Wuwei also sighed: "This feeling is really oppressive. It feels like I have been trapped in a small room for a long time and can't get out. Lying in front of the window, I can already feel the vastness outside through a layer of window paper. The sky and the earth just can’t break through that layer of window paper, it’s just a thin film blocking it, and sometimes the feeling of being unbreakable can drive people crazy.”
Zhao Fei nodded and said: "It is indeed very torturous. Sometimes the speed of refining the wish beads suddenly becomes faster. It increases several times, which is very surprising. Everyone thinks that a breakthrough is just around the corner, but every time there is another bucket. When the cold water comes, you realize that it’s just a dream again, and you’re still stuck in the same spot, unable to break the membrane that seals you in the room. That feeling can make you want to die.”
Miao Yi asked strangely: "In other words, you are still refining the Wish Power Pearl to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, but your cultivation level is not increasing?"
The two nodded, "That's right!"
"That's weird." Miao Yi clicked his tongue in surprise. His cultivation level was not that high and he couldn't experience the feeling they were talking about.
Zhao Fei sighed: "I guess this thing can't come in a hurry. It may be that the opportunity has not come yet. Since it can't come by forcing it, then let nature take its course!"
Miao Yi could only say a few words of relief. He didn't know what would happen when he reached this point...
After arriving at Zhengui Hall, there is a set of procedures. Pay homage to the master of the palace and pay the annual tribute. Appeared again in the meeting hall and when various palace masters gathered together. The three of them also stood back in a low-key manner.
Seeing that these three people finally showed up again, many people were looking forward to another passionate scene.
It's a pity that the three walkers disappointed them. They only said a few words and did not target Miao Yi and the others.
The three of them also answered questions when asked, and kept silent when no questions were asked. Their eyes glanced at Xu Jinsong's broken arm from time to time, and found that the arm that was originally broken almost at shoulder length seemed to have grown a lot longer.
The master of the palace, Shen Huaixin, who was sitting high up, glanced at the peaceful two parties and was somewhat disappointed.
Xu Jinsong and the other two are not fools. The last time the two sides fought in Zhengui Palace, the palace master arrived in time, but did not stop it in time. He did not stop it until the two sides were completely deadlocked. The intention was not to mention the three of them, even the three of them. Miao Yi and the other three also guessed Shen Huaixin's intention.
When there was no certainty that Miao Yi and the others would be killed, the three walking men were prepared to endure it. There was no need to always give excuses to Shen Huaixin to suppress him. It would not be a good thing to have a reputation as headless and brainless to the people of Shui Xing Palace. In the future, when we reach the critical period of growth, it would be really bad if people always bring up this kind of thing to make trouble. This is probably what Shen Huaixin is looking forward to.
From another perspective, in the last battle, Miao Yi and the others severely injured Xu Jinsong, and the shock effect was also significant. To put it nicely, it means that in exchange for the respect of the opponent, you don't dare to look down on them, and you don't dare to act rashly if you are not sure to kill them, even though the arrow is already on the string!
The trip came and went smoothly. Miao Yi and the three of them returned to their respective territories safely. After a brief explanation, they all continued to practice in seclusion.
One thing that Miao Yi and the others have always been thankful for is that there is no war in the Shuixing Palace. If there are no grievances and entanglements, it is really a good place to practice quietly, especially for people like them who have enough resources for practice.
Almost ten years passed in a flash, and Miao Yi got his wish and entered the fifth level of Qinglian.
The refining speed of wish power beads has also been increased from six to seven per day, and the consumption required to break through to the sixth level of Qinglian has reached approximately 41,000. It is estimated that it will take more than sixteen years to break through. .
Qian'er and Xue'er have not been around in vain these years, and their cultivation has reached the fifth level of White Lotus. However, Yan Xiu's cultivation progress is worrying. He is still at the eighth level of White Lotus. If this progress continues, Qian'er and Xue'er will catch up with him sooner or later.
It is not easy to have such a loyal follower in the cultivation world. Miao Yi was already thinking about helping Yan Xiu get a better cultivation technique. For this reason, he specifically asked Wenfang about it. However, the Chamber of Commerce sold a lot of things. Kung Fu is not something that is sold. It may be available on the black market in Liuyunshahai, but there are too many scammers. If you don’t practice this thing, you won’t be able to figure out if there is any problem. By the time you find out there is a problem, it will be gone. Big mold.
For this reason, Miao Yi had to make other plans!
One night fifteen years later, among the stars in the sky, a stream of red light came across the sky and landed directly in the courtyard of Shuiyun Mansion's official residence. Zhao Fei, who looked refreshed and elegant, had a slight smile on his face. smile.
Soon, Miao Yi, who heard the news in seclusion, quickly emerged. He cupped his hands and said, "Congratulations, congratulations! Congratulations to Brother Zhao for finally getting his wish and finally crossing the step that separates heaven and man!"
Zhao Fei waved his hands and said with shame: "I have stayed in Qinglian Ninth Grade for nearly three hundred years. I am really stupid. As soon as I broke through, I came to show off to my brother. I was so ashamed!"
Miao Yi immediately joked: "I wonder if Brother Zhao went to Sikong to show off?"
"I went to his place first and then came to you. Sikong circled around me countless times, scratching his head and ears anxiously. He was extremely envious and asked me repeatedly how I broke through. But I couldn't explain it myself. It’s a breakthrough!”
After Zhao Fei finished speaking vividly, he and Miao Yi looked at each other, and suddenly they both looked up to the sky and laughed. You don't have to see it to imagine what Sikong Wuwei was feeling at that time.
The fact that Zhao Fei, who has always been calm, can laugh like this shows that the joy in his heart is indescribable, so he ran to his friends to share his joy as soon as he made a breakthrough.
"You have taken this step. From now on, you will be able to roam the world as you wish. This is a great joy. There are countless white-haired people in the spiritual world who will not be able to overstep their bounds throughout their lives. Let's celebrate with a drink!" Miao Yi turned around and waved, "Qian'er , Xueer, there’s a banquet at Shuiyun Pavilion!”
"Yes!" The two girls also happily stepped forward to congratulate Zhao Fei.
The two of them also know that the stronger an adult's friends are. That means that the stronger the adult's backer, the safer it is.
Zhao Fei directly took out two second-grade magic weapons and rewarded them.
"Let's go!" Miao Yi, who was equally happy, grabbed Zhao Fei's wrist and dragged him directly to Shuiyun Pavilion.
In fact, Zhao Fei's breakthrough to the Red Lotus realm was of great significance to him and Sikong Wuwei, and they had been on tenterhooks for so many years. Every year I see Xu Jinsong's broken arm getting longer and longer, and I am always worried that something unexpected will happen. Now Zhao Fei has broken through to the Red Lotus realm. That is the biggest deterrent to the three major walks!
In the Shuiyun Pavilion, two people raised their glasses to the moon and drank. Each of the two women stood behind one person and poured wine.
Speaking of Zhao Fei's breakthrough, Miao Yi was filled with emotion. On the way to Zhengui Hall, he said it was difficult to break through. He didn't expect it to be so difficult. It took more than twenty years to achieve one step. Step over.
Zhao Fei also smiled bitterly, but more of it was a feeling of relief. From now on, a broader world was before his eyes!
After the excitement between the two subsided, Miao Yi put down his wine glass and asked, "What are Brother Zhao's plans for the future?"
When it came to business, Zhao Fei also calmed down his emotions, slowly put down his wine glass, and said in a deep voice: "Now that I have broken through to the Red Lotus realm, although the cultivation of the three major walks is higher than mine, it is just a joke in my eyes. Then The three guys are not good at fighting at all. When they start fighting, we don’t know who is afraid of whom, so there is nothing to be afraid of! The only person who can threaten us in Zhengui Palace is Shen Huaixin, who has ulterior motives. I don’t covet his position as the palace master. Now that I still have a lot of cultivation resources, I really want to practice with peace of mind, but if you don’t think about the future, you will have to worry about the near future. Do you still remember the pagoda in your hand? "
Miao Yi nodded and said: "This is indeed a problem. Once there is a conflict with the three major walking forces, if he helps to suppress it, you will definitely not be his opponent just because of the third-grade magic weapon in his hand."
Zhao Fei exhaled and said: "If you want to protect yourself, you must have the qualifications that others will not dare to provoke. I will look for Wenfang later and buy a third-grade magic weapon at any cost, otherwise I will not have any confidence to stand on it!"
"Speaking of magic weapons, maybe I can help you get something handy..." Miao Yi pondered.
"If my brother has a good background, then it will be better!"
"You wait here patiently, I'll come as soon as I can." Miao Yi turned around and called Qian'er and Xue'er to leave together.
The place he went to was no other place, naturally he was looking for Yao Ruoxian. There was such a good treasure refiner here, how could it be wasted.
After meeting Yao Ruoxian and hearing that he wanted to help others refine treasures, Yao Ruoxian immediately refused, but couldn't bear Qian'er and Xue'er's pleas.
Yao Ruoxian agreed, but he had a request. First, Zhao Fei had to provide the materials himself, and the wages should not be less, which was twice that of an ordinary treasure refiner. The most important point, and one that Yao Ruoxian especially emphasized, is that after Zhao Fei gets the treasure, if anyone asks about the origin of the treasure, he cannot reveal to anyone that the treasure came from Shuiyun Mansion, which means that he cannot reveal his Whereabouts, I don’t know what he is afraid of.
If these conditions cannot be met, he will not agree, and it will be useless for Qian'er and Xue'er to beg.
Miao Yi turned around and told Zhao Fei about these conditions and asked Zhao Fei to consider them himself. Zhao Fei was somewhat curious about who it was, but Miao Yi told him not to ask any more questions, so he stopped asking.
Since it was Miao Yi's suggestion that it was feasible, it would be fine if the price was higher. Zhao Fei agreed immediately and said that he would go back to Wenfang to get all the materials and send them over.
I don’t know if the three of them were really lucky. Just as Zhao Fei left, another streak of light fell into the Shuiyun Mansion the next day.
The person who came was none other than Sikong Wuwei, the lord of Yunsang Mansion. When he saw Miao Yi, he put his hands on his waist and laughed at the sky. He was so proud!
“How did you break through?” Miao Yi walked forward and circled around him, very surprised. Yesterday, he laughed at Zhao Fei for his anxious look of scratching his head and ears.
Sikong Wuwei’s smile froze, rolled his eyes, and said unhappily: “Why can’t I break through? What do you mean by that? Are you unhappy that I broke through?”
In fact, he himself was surprised. The more reliable suspicion was that he was stimulated by Zhao Fei. The situation when he broke through was a bit similar, so he accidentally broke through that layer of window paper. Of course, he himself would not admit that he was stimulated by Zhao Fei!
