Main Text Chapter 743 Breakthrough of Purple Lotus

(Make up for October, 4,300 monthly tickets plus more)

The annual payment, as usual, went to the Muxing Palace first, then went to the capital.

The night I arrived in the capital, I went to Chunhua Tower to hang out for a while, and saw Sikong Wuwei, but did not see Zhao Fei and Wu Menglan.

Miao Yi asked, Sikong Wuwei pursed his lips at Huo Lingxiao not far away, and revealed that Huo Lingxiao seemed to have some lingering feelings for Wu Menglan, and occasionally entangled. Zhao Fei and his wife did not want to make it awkward, so they did not come over and rested at Yudu Peak. When they saw Miao Yi later, they asked Miao Yi to come over and sit together.

Miao Yi knew more or less about this matter. In previous years, he would come to the annual payment. When Wu Menglan and Zhao Fei were just officially together, Huo Lingxiao found Miao Yi and asked him about it. He heard that he was the one who brought Zhao Fei and Wu Menglan together.

The two were on a boat in Yuhu Lake. Huo Lingxiao drank a lot of wine and said a lot of nonsense. He said that he was still thinking about Wu Menglan, that he knew Wu Menglan looked down on him, that if he hadn't been shameless, he and Wu Menglan wouldn't have been here today, and the position of Palace Master wouldn't have been theirs. He said that he helped Wu Menglan get her position, but Wu Menglan didn't know it.

Huo Lingxiao also said that he wanted to wait for the right opportunity, and when he stood at a new height, he would tell Wu Menglan the truth and be with Wu Menglan again, but now he had no chance.

In short, Huo Lingxiao said a lot that time, and he was drunk. Miao Yi just listened, not knowing whether what Huo Lingxiao said was true or false, but he stood on Zhao Fei's side. At least the thing was that Zhao Fei and Wu Menglan were interested in each other and got together, and Miao Yi didn't play a big role.

He turned around and saw Gu Sanzheng, Tan Lao and Ye Xin.

The affairs of Tan Lao and Ye Xin have been kept secret from the outside world. In front of outsiders, the two are still like ordinary friends. Miao Yi feels tired for them. They are not as good as him and the boss lady.

Together with Sikong Wuwei, several people said hello and went to Yudu Peak to drink with Zhao Fei and Wu Menglan.

When I saw Zhao Fei and Wu Menglan, I found that their relationship was still good and had withstood the test of time. When they went out to meet people, they were inseparable. When they looked at each other, their eyes were staggered and people envied them. The most enviable ones were undoubtedly Tan Lao and Ye Xin. Gu Sanzheng was still as indifferent as a piece of wood, and it was impossible to see what he was thinking.

Everyone couldn't help asking where Miao Yi went last year, why didn't he come to the capital to pay the annual tax? Miao Yi was vague and passed it over. He just said that he had something to do.

Sikong Wuwei replied casually: "When something happens to you, it's probably a big deal. Don't let us be caught off guard by your sudden promotion to Palace Master."

Everyone agreed and thought this made sense. Only Zhao Fei glanced at Sikong Wuwei meaningfully.

So during the dinner, Zhao Fei found an opportunity to pull Miao Yi outside to talk.

The two stood in the pavilion outside the mountain, facing the lights of thousands of houses below the mountain. Zhao Fei said, "Miao Yi, there is something I don't know whether I should say it or not?"

Miao Yi smiled and asked, "What are you hesitating about? Where is the courage to carry Wu Menglan to bed directly?"

Zhao Fei shook his head and said, "When I was still in the Water Palace, the envoy appointed you as the steward of the Golden Palace of Yudu Peak. In fact, we have been secretly worried about something. I was in the Water Palace at that time and it was inconvenient to tell you anything. Now that I have left the Water Palace, I think I still have to tell you."

Miao Yi asked, "What is it?"

Zhao Fei: "Anyone with a discerning eye knows that you have entered the eyes of the envoy. The envoy is clearly paving the way for you. When you improve your cultivation, it is nine out of ten that you will become the palace master."

Miao Yi smiled and said, "Isn't it too early to say this?"

Zhao Fei shook his head, "Whether it is early or not is another matter. Have you ever thought about which palace the envoy will let you go to as the palace master if that day really comes?"

Miao Yi said, "Who knows about this?"

Zhao Fei turned and looked at him, "Don't you think it's very likely that you will be asked to replace Tao Qingli in the Water Palace? Tao Qingli is the Palace Master of the Water Palace, and everyone has objections to him. If it weren't for our help, Tao Qingli wouldn't be able to suppress the people. What's more, Cheng Aofang holds the Wood Palace in one hand and the Sun Palace in the other, and has put one foot into the Water Palace. She has already touched three of the ten palaces in Chenlu. I'm afraid the Lord will not let her go on like this, and will ask her to stop sooner or later. Now that Tao Qingli has gone to Tianwaitian, she can no longer see the Immortal Saint. After all, Granny Tao has passed away for so long, and her face can't continue forever. Miao Yi, what if one day the Lord asks you to sit in the Wood Palace. What will you do?"

I didn't say it, and now that Zhao Fei mentioned it, Miao Yi was silent, thinking that if he really wanted to rise, it was very likely that Yue Tianbo would arrange for him to replace Tao Qingli in the Water Palace.

Miao Yi thought for a moment and said, "You think too much. Go back and tell Sikong Wuwei that if that day really comes, I will not go to the Water Palace. The reason is that I don't like that piece of land. No more talking, let's go back and have a drink!"

After drinking, Miao Yi returned to his own place and stood in the courtyard with his hands behind his back for a long time. Combined with what Zhao Fei said, he kept thinking about Sikong Wuwei's words in his mind... Don't look back. The sudden promotion of Palace Master caught us off guard!

He was just thinking, when Sikong Wuwei said that, was it intentional or unintentional?

When people reach a certain position, they face more right and wrong, and it is difficult to think as simply as before.

Lin Pingping accompanied him and did not dare to disturb...

The next day, Miao Yi stood on duty as usual on the Golden Palace, only with eyes and ears. Yue Tianbo occasionally glanced at him, but did not say anything.

Now Yue Tianbo can often receive some news about Liuyunshahai, and almost all the big and small movements have been heard. The quality of the news is much better than that of the one or two spies he arranged. This is good for him. He will naturally turn a blind eye to Miao Yi. He will let Miao Yi do whatever he wants. He will continue to pretend that he knows nothing and will not take responsibility if something happens.

Cheng Aofang, who got off the station, saw that Yue Tianbo didn't care whether Miao Yi came or not, so she naturally had nothing to say, but she was a little bit grumbling in her heart, wondering what the two were doing.

After returning to Zhenren Temple, Miao Yi began to retreat again. After running around, he found that it was still safest to retreat and practice in his own territory, so he didn't plan to go out for the time being. He planned to improve his cultivation to the Purple Lotus Realm in one breath, which would also be safe for his future travel. This is very important.

Calculating the resources on hand, nearly 8,000 Xianyuan Pills are enough for him to use for a long time. Even if he digests one a day, it will take about 22 years...

Two years later. After spending nearly 730 Immortal Yuan Pills, Miao Yi, who was sitting cross-legged in the meditation room, successfully blossomed an eighth-grade red lotus between his eyebrows.

This was expected, Miao Yi was neither surprised nor happy, but his eyebrows moved slightly. The consumption of the wish beads to break through to the ninth-grade red lotus will exceed 100 million, reaching a terrifying 167 million.

After the breakthrough to the eighth-grade red lotus, the digestion speed of the Immortal Yuan Pills was faster, but it took more than four years, consuming 1,678 Immortal Yuan Pills, and one day four years later, the ninth petal of the red lotus blossomed between his eyebrows.

He then grabbed two handfuls of low-grade wish beads in his hand to test the speed of refining the wish beads. As expected, the daily refining speed has reached 414.

Miao Yi did not stop, collected the remaining wish beads in his palm, and another moment of the Immortal Yuan Pill rolled into his stomach. Continue to retreat and sprint to the Purple Lotus realm, aiming for the first-grade purple lotus!

The required wish beads consumption is naturally more terrifying, more than 335 million!

Except for some necessary things, such as annual payment, Miao Yi hardly left the meditation room.

Time passed in a flash, and nearly ten years had passed. When the 3,355th immortal essence pill was about to be refined, a brilliant purple lotus flower opened a petal and appeared between his eyebrows!

After completely digesting the immortal essence pill in his stomach, Miao Yi suddenly opened his eyes and cast a spell. He felt the surging mana around him, and felt a sense of being almost substantial, which was completely different from the Red Lotus Realm.

As his mana was released outside the body to test. The airflow in the meditation room faintly made a rolling sound like thunder.

Qian'er and Xue'er, who were practicing as guardians outside, didn't know what happened. They quickly flashed to the closed stone door and tried to shout, "My Lord!"

Miao Yi was a little selfless in experiencing the operation of mana, and the rolling sound like thunder also covered the voices of the two women.

The two women were worried and directly opened the closed stone door.

Suddenly. A strong wind rushed out like a gust of wind, rushed out of the meditation room, and with two bangs, the two women were directly shocked and hit against the stone wall behind them.

Fortunately, Miao Yi reacted quickly and stopped in time, so they didn't hurt the two.

Qian'er and Xue'er stared at the purple lotus that appeared between Miao Yi's eyebrows. They were surprised that the master had already broken through to the purple lotus realm.

Miao Yi stared at the two and said, "Nothing!"

Qian'er and Xue'er stepped forward together, knelt on one knee and bowed, and said in surprise, "Congratulations, Master, congratulations, Master!"

Miao Yi smiled slightly, "Step down!"

"Yes!" The two girls just stood up in response, and saw Miao Yi waving his sleeves, and the magic power swept, and the two heavy stone doors closed again with a bang.

Miao Yi, who was sitting cross-legged in the original place, slowly recovered his magic power, and with a wave of his sleeves, a thousand low-grade wish beads in the storage ring floated up into the air, quietly surrounding him. An invisible flame spewed out from his body, swallowing those wish beads, and calculating and refining them quickly one by one.

One day later, there were only 172 wish beads floating in front of him. After breaking through to the Purple Lotus Realm, the speed of refining the Wish Beads doubled again, from 414 beads per day to 828 beads per day.

Miao Yi smiled slightly, the speed of cultivation doubled again, but he couldn't smile again when he estimated the number of Wish Beads needed to break through to the second level of Purple Lotus.

More than 670 million! At this cultivation speed, it would take more than 2,200 years to break through to the second level of Purple Lotus.

According to his current normal income in the official, several positions added together, plus the tributes from the Chamber of Commerce and those sects, less than 50,000 Wish Beads per year, and ordinary hall masters don't have such a high income. Even if he didn't support so many people, after more than 2,000 years, it would be converted into 100 million Wish Beads at most. He now deeply understands why it takes tens of thousands of years for those Purple Lotus cultivators to upgrade to the next level.

With a move of magic power, more than 100 floating Wish Beads were soaring back into the storage ring of Fuxi.

After counting the remaining Xianyuan Pills, there were only more than 2,200 left. If one wanted to rely on Xianyuan Pills to break through to the second level of Purple Lotus, at least 6,710 pills would be needed, leaving a gap of more than 4,000 pills.
