For several days.
The entire Qingyang City is talking about the destruction of Xue Mansion.
Such as:
Zhong Yan invited a master of foundation building;
The City Lord’s Mansion is the mastermind behind the scenes;
All the major forces in the city worked together to target the Xue Mansion, which had become too popular, including the restaurant incident.
All kinds of this.
Ordinary people who don't understand the details have different opinions and guesses.
But no matter what the truth is, the 'finger point' is directed at the Zhong Mansion. Zhong Yan, a fourth-level Qi Refining monk, has become a being that cannot be provoked in Qingyang City, and his reputation spreads far and wide.
Until the city lord's palace posted four notices.
Summarized as:
First, explain the "Qi State's March" and "War Horn";
Second, the Water Transport Gang and Wan Tang caused trouble and undermined public security and stability, and each was fined 100,000 taels of silver as punishment;
Thirdly, the couple in the Xue Mansion fought and killed each other due to emotional disputes. The Zhong Mansion ignored the national law and took the opportunity to seek revenge. However, there was a reason for the incident and a fine of 200,000 taels of silver;
Fourth, the city lord's government was lax in governing the city, causing chaos in the city and upsetting the people. The following year, the entire population was exempted from tax by 30%.
The sound went off.
In fact, it was only the 'War Horn' that frightened the people all night long. The Caoyun Gang and Wan Tang targeted the industries under the Wu League and controlled them very well. The Zhong Mansion was only limited to the Xue Mansion on Cangbao Street.
The 30% tax exemption is a great joy for the people in the city.
As for the missing pieces of silver, they naturally come from the Caoyun Gang, Wan Tang and Zhong Mansion.
But compared to the Wumeng industry, the Caoyun Gang and Wantang made a lot of money.
Zhong Yan didn't care either, the property searched in Xue Mansion was far more than this money.
Xue Mansion became dust and the dust settled.
Zhong Yan returned to his regular daily life, practicing double cultivation, making talismans, and practicing spells.
Also added a practice - refining elixirs.
Previously, I bought two thousand spiritual stone elixirs from Yangquanfang City, of which the Qi Condensing Pills and Qi Gathering Pills used to improve cultivation accounted for the vast majority.
Because the realm has broken through to the fourth level of Qi training, the time it takes to refine a Qi Condensing Pill has been shortened from more than half an hour to less than half an hour.
And each time you refine a Qi Condensing Pill, you can gain three points of cultivation experience.
The effect of Qi Gathering Pill is better, and it can reach 8 to 10 points per pill.
The pills in the storage bag alone are enough for him to break through to the fifth level of Qi Refining.
This is the overbearing effect brought about by abundant resources, and a breakthrough is just around the corner!
Zhong Yan remembered very clearly that in the twenty-sixth year of the Fire Cloud Sect, the sect distributed, earned, and snatched...a total of 782 low-grade spiritual stones.
Compared to what I have gained in the past three or four years in Qingyang City, it is not even a fraction.

[Name: Zhong Yan]
【Shouyuan: 42/77】
[Spiritual roots: Fire 28% (536), Wood 19% (438), Gold 12% (0), Earth 8% (0), Water 0% (56)]
[Realm: Fourth level of Qi refining (896/80000)]
[Exercise: "Heavenly Fire Technique" (Elementary Level 412/5000)]
[Spells: Gravitation (entry level 6075/100000000), Fireball (entry level 3689/1000000), Fire Cloud Palm (entry level 5492/10000)...]
[Occupation: Talisman Making (First Grade Top Grade 2125/60000)]
[Concubine Binding: Yan Sandao (20/70)]
Zhong Yan estimated that he would need 80,000 experience points. If he refined the elixir without sleep every day, he could theoretically break through to the fifth level of Qi refining in thirteen months.
Throwing out the trivial matters actually results in a lot more time.
On the one hand, the erysipelas produced by the impurities in the elixir made it impossible for the monk's body to refine the elixir all the time.
On the other hand, as a general elixir in the late stage of Qi refining, the overbearing power of Qi Gathering Pill is more time-consuming for Zhong Yan.
However, Qi Gathering Pill is more pure and produces less erysipelas retained in the body.
In the long run, I would rather spend more time and spiritual stones, Qi Gathering Pill is also a better choice.
Therefore, Zhong Yancai bought both elixirs after balancing his cultivation speed and physical endurance.
"If we add the support of dual cultivation and work harder, we may be able to break through within a year..."
Zhong Yan's eyes are piercing, and this feeling of counting the days to see the realm is very refreshing!
Time flies.
Dazzled for more than a month.
Zhongfu has another happy event.
[Ding~ Give birth to an heir, gain spell bonus +3, skill awareness +3, Talisman experience +8, cultivation experience +30]
Jiang Ping gave birth to a daughter, named Zhong Qiling.
So far, the Zhong family has four sons and two daughters.
Jiang Ping has one son and one daughter: Zhong Qixing and Zhong Qiling
A son of winter grass: Zhong Qisheng
Qiuxiang's son: Zhong Qiping
A Son of Spring Rain: Zhong Qian
Xia He’s first daughter: Zhong Xining
The next month, Zhong Yan organized a splendid wedding banquet for his undercover concubine Tang Xiaoshu, and invited many visiting monks in the city.
Some secular families who did not receive the invitation also sent people to bring gifts.
City Lord Qin Ben cheered as always.
This time, even the talkers from the Caoyun Gang and Wantang were present in person to congratulate him, bringing unprecedented gifts.
Except for one person, the banquet was already held, and he was waiting eagerly in the courtyard of his home, but he did not wait for the invitation.
——King Gou Yu Qingyao was so angry that his teeth itched.
It's been so long since the incident in the Xue Mansion, and she's been waiting for Zhong Yan to come find her.
Being coerced by Zhong Yan into becoming a guest of the Zhong Mansion, she herself did not dare to come rashly.
After all, it is extremely abnormal for someone from the sixth level of Qi Refining to be the guest of honor at the fourth level of Qi Refining.
She had to wait for Zhong Yan’s arrangements.
As a result, after waiting for almost three months, the messenger sent a message and received no reply.
Except her.
Looking at Zhong Yan through the autumn water, and waiting in a irritable mood, there was also Miss Ruoyun from Feixian Pavilion.
I thought that after something happened in the Xue Mansion, Zhong Yan would come to celebrate like Narcissus said, but he disappeared day after day.
Seeing her sad and resentful look, Narcissus sighed in his heart and comforted her with a smile, "Why are you so anxious? It's the Chinese New Year soon. I must come to the market to do some shopping. I'll definitely come see you..."
Time flies to the end of the year.
Snowflakes were falling.
Yu Qingyao, who was sitting cross-legged, opened her eyes and glanced at the empty jade porcelain bottle next to her. A feeling of anger rose from the bottom of her heart. She grabbed the bottle and smashed it against the wall.
Snap~
Soulless!
As a result, she lost her income. Now she has no spiritual stone to support the operation of the formation, and no pills. She can't even maintain normal practice.
After getting up and walking back and forth for a while, King Gou couldn't bear it anymore, changed his clothes, put on his cotton robe and went out.
More than half an hour later, when she came to the No. 9 courtyard of Zhongfu, which was decorated with lanterns and decorations for the New Year, Yu Qingyao looked at the two characters "Zhongfu", but hesitated at her feet.
Xiao Huan, who was directing the maids to clear the snow, saw this, rolled his eyes, and ran out quickly, "Master Immortal, are you looking for my Mr. Zhong?"
Now, one of the most important things for the maids of the Zhong Mansion is to identify the monks in the city, and they have seen and memorized their portraits.
What a pretty girl... Yu Qingyao's eyes fell on Xiaohuan's face, and she secretly admired her in her heart. She thought she was the legendary 'Tang Xiaoshu', but she looked like she was dressed like a maid.
"Excuse me, Yu Qingyao is here to visit and wants to buy some talismans from your master."
"Okay, please go inside first!"
Xiaohuan winked and asked the maid aside to inform Zhong Yan, while she led Yu Qingyao into the hall to drink tea.
