the other side.
Zhong Yan toasted and went around in a circle, returning to the main table in the innermost room.
The people sitting here are the ones with the highest cultivation level and status in Qingyang City.
Yang Yanqing and his wife, Bai Siyuan, Pang Baodu and other later monks, plus Qingyang City Lord Qin Ben and Zhong Yan were some friends.
Everyone exchanged cups and cups, chatting freely from all over the world.
Yang Yanqing: "How long will Fellow Taoist Pang stay in the city this time? Where are you going to make a fortune?"
Duobao Taoist Pang Baodu had a plump face and was full of joy. He drank a glass of wine and said "Hi" with a smile:
"Let's see, there is some chaos in the northwest now, and I accidentally lost my life."
Because of the war, casual cultivators from Wei State poured into other countries. Naturally, the cities of Qingyang, Heishui, Shunyi, and Wangdi adjacent to Yan State were the first to bear the brunt.
Around the New Year, interceptions and killings occur frequently outside cities, on official roads, and on alleys.
"It's better for us, Qingyang. We don't have to fight and kill. Last year in the twelfth lunar month, more than ten monks in Blackwater City fought in a group battle, and five of them died on the spot..."
Pang Baodu said and looked at Qin Ben: "City Master Qin, I heard that Wangcheng City also plans to build the Keqing Mansion. Is the news true? Looking at this momentum, Yan State will probably follow the path of the Keqing Mansion in the future."
Qin Ben smiled and said: "I don't know. Qingyang Keqing Mansion has been on trial for one year and it is relatively stable. The imperial court in the capital neither praises nor criticizes it. In my opinion, there is still a long way to go before Yan State fully implements Keqing Mansion."
Yang Yanqing shook his head and said: "If Heishui and Shunyi are still possible, it is difficult to hope for the city. How can the two immortal cultivating families of the Liu family and the Fang family accommodate the existence of the Keqing Mansion?"
Zhong Yan secretly agreed and asked with a smile: "City Lord Qin, how is the war in Wei? You can't keep fighting like this, right?"
Yan, Wu and other countries united and mobilized heavy troops to encircle and attack together. Even though the Wei alliance army was strong, they could not hold out for long.
Qin Ben looked over and said thoughtfully: "It may last for a long time. If it is a battle between two countries, the winner will naturally be decided as soon as possible. Now that five countries are participating in the war, the four invading countries are using local materials. Anyway, they are not in their own territory. , not worrying about the national economy and the people's livelihood, they all want to directly destroy Wei State with the least force and the smallest cost. By then, the huge country will be divided into four, each holding its own side..."
Zhong Yan secretly thought that it was no wonder that last year the Yan State dispatched 350,000 vanguard troops, but not only did they not send any more troops, but they also transferred back 100,000 troops. It is probably the same in other countries, which mainly focused on small battles, harassment, and looting of wealth.
"..."
We chatted for a while about the war and the spiritual world.
Yang Yanqing changed the subject and said with a smile: "Young Daoist Zhong is now married to a beautiful monk and has a complete family. His great ambition to establish a family is obvious. Yang's attempt to win over him again is extremely disrespectful. My Taoist friend is outstanding in his talismans and Taoism. Yang intends to Are you interested in working together to promote Qingyangfang City?"
The table was quiet for a moment, all eyes focused on Zhong Yan.
Although the development of Zhongfu was not made public, it was not deliberately hidden either.
It can be said that the momentum is rapid.
He cooperates with the City Lord's Mansion, the Water Transport Gang, and Wan Tang. In addition, as a retinue mage, he controls the network of many guest monks.
Even before it is spread out, it is already famous in Qingyang.
Once it spreads out, Qingyang becomes the head force and becomes unstoppable.
Bai Siyuan's eyes flickered, scanning the faces of the two protagonists one after another.
Zhong Yan and Yang Yanqing looked at each other for a moment, then raised their glasses with smiles on their faces and said, "It's all right! Lord Qin's hard work has made Qingyang City grow bigger and bigger, and it will definitely become a big city. There will be many monks gathering there, and there will be a small market where you can travel easily with many of your colleagues." , everyone is waiting for you!"
Qin Ben secretly cursed 'treacherous' in his heart, and said with a smile: "This is a good thing! It is Qingyang's blessing that all the immortal masters have settled in Qingyang, and the blessing of the people. Over in the capital, Qin Ben will try his best to come to Cambodia, but... As for the Fire Cloud Sect, the immortal masters have to take care of it themselves."
"Of course!"
Yang Yanqing laughed loudly, raised his glass and looked around, "The Fire Cloud Sect has Yang Mansion coming forward to borrow Zhong Mansion's wedding wine. Let's all drink together for the prosperity of Qingyang!"
…
The banquet lasted from noon to Xu time in the evening.
All the guests have gone.
Zhong Yan sent Yang Yanqing and others out of the house, his eyes flickering, and asked Bai Siyuan, "Does Brother Tao know Zhang Yufu?"
A figure appeared in Bai Siyuan's mind, a burly man with thick eyebrows and big eyes.
"I'm not familiar with him. I've only met him once before. Zhang Yu, who is at the peak of the sixth level of Qi refining, seems to have entered the Yang Mansion as a guest at the end of last year. What is he doing?"
Zhang Yufu... Zhong Yan murmured in his heart and shook his head slightly. The man was very unfamiliar. It must be the first time he met him, but he noticed a hint of hostility in his eyes, which disappeared in a flash.
Bai Siyuan sighed: "The Yang family is very powerful. I won't be surprised if they announce the establishment of a clan tomorrow."
Yang Yanqing broke through to the ninth level of Qi refining, his wife Huo Qingqing reached the sixth level of Qi refining, and a pair of children entered the third level of Qi refining.
In addition, there are nineteen family guests, five of whom are on the sixth level of Qi Refining.
There is also an alchemist, Cheng Youliang.
If the Zhou family fills in a few more positions, it will be even stronger than when the Fang family was first established.
Zhong Yan thought for a moment, "I guess it won't be that fast. At least we have to wait until Fangshi has specific results."
Bai Siyuan smiled and said: "He is a little anxious. He won over eight guests last year alone, and he is not afraid of problems in the future."
Send Bai Siyuan away.
Zhong Yan went to the study and called Zhong Xiaozhong, Li Yangshi, and Yan Sandao in turn to make arrangements.
Late at night, when he returned to the training room, Yu Qingyao was lying on the couch with a flushed face and a face full of alcohol. His eyes were wandering and blurred, and he raised his hand to hook his fingers.
"Zhong Lang!"
[You practice once with a Taoist companion and gain +2000 water spiritual root bonus, +1000 wood spiritual root bonus, and +3500 cultivation experience]
…
Another month has passed in the blink of an eye.
Looking at the Taoist monk next to him with a satisfied smile and sleeping soundly, Zhong Yan opened the panel and couldn't hide his excitement.
[Name: Zhong Yan]
【Shouyuan: 44/84】
[Spiritual roots: Fire 28% (536), Wood 29% (1618), Gold 12% (0), Earth 8% (0), Water 20% (1356)]

in.
The purity of the wood spirit root essence increased from 19% to 29%, and the purity of the water spirit root essence increased from scratch to 20%.
He has tested and found that the improvement of his spiritual root qualifications has made him refining elixirs faster, his sense of energy has also been enhanced, and he has become more sensitive to the spiritual energy between heaven and earth.
And the cultivation experience has skyrocketed!
Able to break through at any time and reach the sixth level of Qi refining!
Extremely cool.
Zhong Yan tried his best to suppress his impulse and did not rush to break through, preparing to keep it as his trump card.
Taking a deep breath, he couldn't help but look at Yu Qingyao again.
Doing double cultivation too many times affects the other person’s cultivation.
Not a long-term solution.
Still have to exercise moderation.
Moreover, he has not looked for other wives and concubines during this period of time, and I am afraid that he is somewhat complaining in his heart.
It was 6 o'clock in the morning the next day.
Zhong Yan summoned his entourage and left the city for Fuyang Town.
