When Li Jiu saw Shi Yao again, he was shocked again and his eyes widened in disbelief.
"Zhenjun, you, your cultivation has made a breakthrough again!"
Shi Yao nodded calmly towards Li Jiu.
But Li Jiu's inner thoughts began to shake like earth-shaking changes.
Zhenjun, when did she break through?
Although he has been busy in the past few days with the reconstruction of the inner sea and the repair of formations, it stands to reason that there should be earth-shattering movements when the True Monarch Nascent Soul breaks through, but why doesn't he feel anything at all?
Also, why is Zhenjun’s cultivation speed so terrifying?
Obviously, it had only been a few years since Zhenjun made her last breakthrough.
Isn't it said that the higher the cultivation level of the monks in the Lingzhou world, the harder it is to break through?
Why was Zhenjun able to achieve breakthroughs again and again in just a few years, as if there were no bottlenecks or obstacles at all.
Thinking of this, Li Jiu couldn't help but look at Shi Yao quietly again, thinking:
"It is rumored that those who practice the Wuqing Tao will make great progress on the day they achieve great success.
Could it be that...Zhen Jun, her ruthless way has been perfected? !
hiss--
Look at Zhenjun's increasingly cold expression and indifferent eyes..."
Just when Li Jiu was staring in shock, thinking wildly, and his eyes were getting weirder, Shi Yao had already calmly stated the purpose of calling him:
"Since the west wing of the inner city has been destroyed by monsters, you can free it up for me. I will be of use in the future."
"yes!"
Li Jiu had no objection to Shi Yao's instructions, so he agreed without thinking.
However, the land in Xifang of the inner city is quite big. What on earth is Zhenjun going to use that land for?
Li Jiu rolled his eyes, and finally couldn't bear his curiosity. He licked his face and asked, "Zhenjun, I don't know, you want that piece of land because you want-"
Seeing Shi Yao's cold eyes looking at him, Li Jiu suddenly got excited and scratched his head.
"Uh——, what I mean is that if you need it, I can do it for you."
Hearing what he said, Shi Yao nodded, "I do need your help with something."
Seeing this, Li Jiu chuckled and straightened his chest, barely reaching out to take a few pats.
"True Lord, just tell me, my disciple will definitely help you handle things properly!"
Shi Yao nodded again, "The day before yesterday, I had applied to the sect for a batch of formation materials and a giant flying magic weapon. However, because there were too many, the materials were too precious...
Therefore, tomorrow you will allocate one million more spirit beads from the inner sea warehouse and send them back to the sect together with the spirit beads handed over to the sect this year. "
Every year, the spirit beads that Neihai turns over to the sect are based on first-order spirit beads. One million spirit beads equals one million first-order demon pills.
After listening to Shi Yao's words, the smile on Li Jiu's face suddenly froze.
He almost couldn't control himself and wanted to slap himself in the mouth. He was blaming himself: "It's all your fault for talking too much. You're so curious!"
No, as soon as I got curious and opened my mouth, millions of spirit beads were gone.
Although the spirit beads in the Neihai warehouse are not the exclusive private property of Li Jiu, he is now the city lord of Inner Sea, and every expenditure must be calculated carefully.
And after this beast tide passed, the Inland Sea warehouse received a total of more than one million spirit beads.
But when Zhenjun Shi Yao opened her mouth, she received millions of spirit beads!
this! That’s it! At once--
Li Jiu felt a physical pain inside, and even his breathing began to become a little unsmooth.
"Zhenjun, what kind of formation materials do you need? Uh--, this, disciple means that the formation materials approved by the sect last time have not been used up yet, right?"
Li Jiu looked at Shi Yao carefully and spoke softer and quieter.
Shi Yao had already stood up, looking at the people coming and going in the inner sea, and the figures who were busy rebuilding the inner sea. After a long moment of silence, he said:
"I want to build a large teleportation array in Xifang in the inner city."
Li Jiu was stunned. The entire Xifang of the inner city was used to build the teleportation array?
Don’t they already have a sect’s teleportation array on the second island in their inner sea?
Furthermore, if the entire West Square of the inner city is to be built into a large teleportation array, how big of a project will it be? How much rare formation materials and effort are needed to complete it?
Li Jiu became more and more puzzled, "Zhenjun, why do you want to build a large teleportation array in the West Square of the inner city? That is not an easy task."
Shi Yao turned around and looked at Li Jiu with an unclear expression, "What I did was just to nip it in the bud and leave a way out for everyone in the inner sea to survive."
That day, when she was far away from the sea and approaching the gray mist, the bad feeling was too strong.
It made her feel as if she was being targeted by some unknown terror.
But now, there are more and more damaged places in the inland sea defense formation, the defense force is getting weaker and weaker, and the beast tide in the inland sea is getting more and more fierce each time.
——This may also show that the power within the real heaven and earth formation in the inner sea should be slowly weakening, so the suppressive power of the gray mist is also gradually weakening.
I'm afraid that one day sooner or later, the unknown terror there will break out of the mist and break into the inland sea.
By then, she really wasn't sure whether she would be able to continue to defend the inner sea.
In this way, when she really can no longer protect the inner sea, she will no longer force it, then just abandon the inner sea and let everyone take the teleportation array to escape.
Shi Yao did not hide any of the above considerations, except for the speculation that the inner sea was the real formation of heaven and earth, and told Li Jiu.
Finally, he added: "Over the years, the inner sea has withstood many attacks by beast tides. Now, the defensive formation has gradually been damaged, and it is difficult to completely repair it even if you think about it...
If in the future, a more terrifying beast tide attacks, and everyone in the Inner Sea cannot resist it despite their best efforts, the large-scale teleportation array will be the only way for everyone in the Inner Sea to survive. "
When Li Jiu heard this, his whole body suddenly became cold.
Suddenly, he also felt that there was a pair of cold, scarlet giant eyes staring straight at him from the distance outside the sea, which made people feel frightened.
"wake up!"
Shi Yao's clear and cold voice suddenly exploded in Li Jiu's mind, causing him to immediately wake up from his confused and frightened state.
Shi Yao's voice was solemn, "Your cultivation has been stagnant for many years and you have been unable to break through the bottleneck. I think it is because you have a deep mind and a lot of worries.
When monks practice, they pay attention to Taoism and nature, do everything from their heart, and do their best. Even if the road is difficult and dangerous, it should not be an obstacle to your continued progress.
——If you continue to fail to understand this point, you may breed inner demons in the future, and your cultivation will no longer be able to improve. "
Hearing this, Li Jiu felt like a wake-up call, and his heart skipped a beat again.
Since he came to this sea of chaos, no one has ever been able to wake him up with just one word like Zhenjun Shi Yao.
Li Jiu felt grateful in his heart and bowed his hands: "Disciple, thank you Zhenjun for your guidance."
Shi Yao didn't say anything more, nodded slightly, and asked Li Jiu to retreat.
