It was expected, but also a little unexpected.
Less than three months passed.
The capital's 'Si Tianjian' sent two retinue mages to Qingyang City and took over the charge of the Keqing Mansion.
One of them has reached the Great Perfection state of Qi Refining, and the other has reached the first level of Foundation Establishment. They are from the Royal Family and the Fire Cloud Sect respectively.
As for the two original retinue mages, Bai Siyuan and Tao Ran, they were forcefully removed from their positions and handed over their tokens.
This day.
Bai Siyuan came to the Zhong Mansion and saw Zhong Yan. His face was extremely ugly, and he uttered a curse word: "Damn it!"
Zhong Yan had a guess in his mind and asked, "Brother Dao, what's going on?"
Bai Siyuan sat down and took a sip of tea, slapped the cup on the table, and said with a trembling face:
"It's just as I expected, only twenty spirit stones are given out as salary every year! It's too ugly to look at others!"
Twenty is the annual salary of the former mage servant, but there are no additional benefits.
Zhong Yan's mouth twitched, and he was extremely speechless, less than he expected.
"Then it will take you two thousand years to collect 40,000!"
"No! Of course I won't. Finally, we negotiated a one-time payment of five thousand yuan, which will be counted as the original cost of opening the Colosseum."
As he said that, Bai Siyuan said with a look of regret on his face: "I should have listened to my brother's suggestion and sold it directly to the Peng family. The total profit in the past few months is less than 20,000, which is equivalent to a direct loss of 20,000. Thanks to the beast fighting competition, Otherwise... the thought of riding a horse makes my heart hurt so much that I can hardly breathe!"
Zhong Yan was silent for a moment and said: "Forget it, my arm can't twist the thigh. How will the Peng family deal with it?"
"Let's just pick a soft persimmon. The Peng family has a big business, so of course there is nothing wrong with it. Only half of the funds for visiting the Qing government will be kept, and the rest will be divided equally. I don't know the exact price, but the Peng family will definitely not suffer..."
Good guy, hundreds of registered monks in the Keqing Mansion have been exploited by half. It's really a feast for the eyes.
Zhong Yan murmured in his heart, then thought again, this was what he, Bai Siyuan and Qin Ben had proposed to decide privately, and it was good to be able to keep half of it.
After complaining about his depression and bitterness, Bai Siyuan felt a little better and mentioned one thing before leaving.
"By the way, Brother Zhong, Fatty Pang left the city for a trip half a month ago. I know it's inconvenient for you to be in seclusion. Let me tell you.
I also crossed out my name from the book of the guest house and prepared to stay in seclusion for a long time. I didn’t want to see those two cheating faces! "
"Brother Dao, walk slowly."
Zhong Yan frowned and pondered for a while in the study. Yu Qingyao and Gu Baiyu came in together. The latter said: "Husband, I have accepted the gift."
Zhong Yan hummed.
Gu Baiyu was slightly dissatisfied and said: "Si Tianjian is really as arrogant and arrogant as the legend says. He didn't even say thank you. He just put on a fake smile and said hello to you."
Yu Qingyao snorted: "Three hundred spirit stones were wasted!"
Zhong Yan smiled and said: "It's good to just let them talk. What else do you want? Don't ask for their convenience, and just don't cause trouble in the future."
Just watch, and soon you will be able to realize how moist and oily Si Tianjian's retinue mage is! "
…
A few days later.
Zhong Yan received a package delivered from Yangquanfang City, which came from the Sixth Disciple of Qifeng, 'Yun Qianxun', who was known as 'the most beautiful woman in the Yan Kingdom'.
The blood of all monsters and beasts is gathered together.
Seventy-two bottles in total, each containing one to three drops.
Most of them are from foundation-building monsters, and the highest is from the fourth-level monster on the seventh level of foundation-building—the three-headed black gold dragon.
Most of them came from the third disciple of Qifeng, 'Wei Siyu', who made a special trip to Yunmeng Swamp.
At this moment, sapphire bottles with different labels were placed all over the table.
Yuan Ziyi muttered: "These beast blood essences exceed the vitality of the Foundation Establishment Perfection. It is not a problem to use the Foundation Establishment Pill to create a Foundation Establishment Monk. If it still doesn't work, it means that this method probably won't work."
Hearing this, Jiang Huan, who already had no confidence, became more and more nervous, and his pretty face tightened.
"Husband, I...or, let's forget it..."
The value is too great.
If it is used on other people, the effect will be obvious, or if it is left to future heirs, it can further optimize the basic qualifications.
Zhong Yan rubbed her head, then took her little hand and shook it hard.
"Relax, don't worry, it will definitely work. Even if it doesn't work, I will find another way!"
Yu Qingyao smiled and agreed: "Yes, Huan'er must have confidence!"
In fact, Zhong Yan also murmured a little in his heart, secretly took a breath and said: "Come on!"
The three of them surrounded Jiang Huan and sat cross-legged. After exchanging glances, they together pulled the essence and blood from the jade bottles into Jiang Huan's body and refined them one by one.
It started at 6 o'clock in the morning and lasted until 3 o'clock in the afternoon on the third day.
The three of them exhaled at the same time and stared at Jiang Huan, who had a pretty rosy face and crystal-clear skin.
Zhong Yan: "Okay Huan'er, adjust it and try the air-entraining method."
"Um."
Jiang Huan looked serious and took a deep breath to start.
Time passes slowly.
A stick of incense.
An hour.
If it works, it's time to react.
Seeing Jiang Huan's eyelashes trembling slightly with his eyes closed, and his small mouth pursed vigorously, one could tell how disappointed he felt.
Zhong Yan and the other three looked at each other, stood up gently, and exited the cabin. It would be a lie to say they were not disappointed.
Yuan Ziyi: "Why don't I go back to Huoyun Sect and search in the Sutra Pavilion to see if there is any other way. I will take Third Senior Sister's token and go there as a medicine boy without being discovered."
Now that she has left the Fire Cloud Sect, she naturally cannot enter or leave such an important place as the Sutra Pavilion in her own capacity.
Zhong Yan pursed his lips, pretended to smile lightly and asked, "Don't you doubt my judgment?"
Yuan Ziyi was silent.
Yu Qingyaohu asked: "If this method works, could it be that the essence and blood are not enough?"
Yuan Ziyi frowned and thought about it seriously, then shook his head and said: "No, Xiaohuan has not yet entered cultivation, and the blood essence only serves to stimulate the blood vessels.
Perhaps, we need the true blood of real alien beasts, but alien beasts are rare and may not be found in the depths of Yunmeng Swamp. Even if we find them, we don't have the strength to conquer them..."
There was a discussion.
The sun sets in the west.
The three of them turned around at the same time and saw Jiang Huan approaching with a depressed look on his face.
When she got closer, her head almost dropped to Dian Dian's chest, and she was too embarrassed to see anyone.
Zhong Yan was ready to be relieved.
However, Jiang Huan jumped up one by one, threw herself into his arms, and cheered at the same time: "Husband! Huan'er succeeded! I didn't let you down! I can feel the aura of heaven and earth!"
Um?
All three of them were startled.
Zhong Yan raised his hand and slapped his butt twice, "Naughty, I'm looking for a beating! You dare to play tricks on your husband!"
Yu Qingyao and Yuan Ziyi looked at each other and smiled, also sincerely happy.
Jiang Huan was embarrassed, broke away from her husband, ran to hug her two sisters with red eyes and tears.
"Thank you Sister Qingyao!"
"Thank you sister Ziyi!"
When Yuan Ziyi faced this kind of "throwing herself into his arms", her eyelashes trembled, and she felt strange, feeling like home and relatives.
A celebration.
Zhong Yan passed on Jiang Huan's "Great Sun Treasure Sutra" on the spot, and took out five of the few middle-grade stones for her to practice directly with the spiritual stones.
In order to prove himself and prove that the demonic beast essence and blood he consumed was worth the money, Jiang Huan spent the rest of the time sleeping and diligently except having fun with her husband on the couch, on the table, in the bathtub, in the pond, on the grass, on the tree, on the roof... To outrageous.
Just a few more months.
She rushed past the peak of the first level of Qi Refining and entered the second level. Of course, only Zhong Yan, Yu Qingyao and Yuan Ziyi knew about this matter.
Yuan Ziyi couldn't help but sigh: "It's faster than Nuannuan!"
Zhong Yan felt itchy and said with a smile: "It's a pity that I don't know what kind of spiritual root it is, or what kind of special physique it is."
Yuan Ziyi suggested: "Huan'er, please control it. It's not a good thing if your cultivation progresses too fast. Most people don't have the conditions, but you don't need to worry about lifespan. Practice every small step to the extreme, constantly temper your spiritual energy, and solidify it." Vitality, expanded meridians, such a solid foundation, high combat power..."
Yuan Ziyi carefully explained the cultivation method of suppressing the realm.
Jiang Huan's face turned red and she nodded vigorously: "Yes! Sister Ziyi, I understand!"
…
That night.
The moon and stars are sparse, the fragrance of flowers and the chirping of insects.
On the grass covered with blankets in the courtyard.
Zhong Yan moved Jiang Huan, who was lying on his body, and sat up eagerly to look at the panel.
[Five Elements Spiritual Root Bonus +10000, Practice Progress +3000, Spell Bonus +3000]
Look carefully again.
[Spiritual roots: gold (perfect), wood (perfect), water (perfect), fire (perfect), earth (perfect)]
Ten thousand at a time and several months of hard work, the purity of the essence finally reached 100%, and all the attribute spiritual roots became 'perfect'.
Zhong Yan clenched his fists and looked towards the realm bar.
[Realm: Seventh level of Qi refining (116w/95w) can be broken through]
Previously, when the purity of the Wood Spirit Root Essence first reached 50%, the required breakthrough experience was reduced by 20,000 for every 10% decrease. Now, the total required experience was directly cut in half.
awesome!
You can break into the eighth level of Qi Refining at any time!
Zhong Yan's state of mind was almost unstable, and he was a little wandering. He really wanted to fly to the sky above Qingyang City and shout: "Who else is there!"
The five elements are perfect. I dare not say that the entire Xianwu Continent, at least in the Yan Kingdom, is definitely second to none.
On the side, Jiang Huan, who had calmed down, climbed up when he saw her husband being so excited, "Husband, is Huan'er sitting well?"
"good!"
"Are you happy then?"
"necessary!"
"Yeah~"
Zhong Yan moved it down again.
Let’s see what the reward is after perfection!
There won’t be one missing item, right?
a long time.
Under the gurgling moonlight, Jiang Huan was paralyzed, his tongue was spitting out, and his eyes were so blurred that he couldn't open his eyes.
[Dark Spirit Root +10000, Practice Progress +3000, Spell Bonus +3000]
[Spiritual Root: Five Elements (Perfect), Dark Spiritual Root 1% (0)]
Five attributes combined into one, one more!
It turns out that Jiang Huan is a 'dark attribute' alien spirit root!
Zhong Yan suppressed his excitement and frowned in thought.
In this case, according to Yuan Ziyi, although the dark spiritual root does not show its spiritual root, it is as easy to enter cultivation as other heavenly spiritual roots.
It can be seen that in addition to the dark spiritual roots, Jiang Huan should also possess some kind of special physique.
Zhong Yan turned his head and glanced at the beautiful body next to him, feeling extremely happy and filled with emotion in his heart.
Jiang Ping spent five taels of silver to buy her back from Beijie. She never thought that she had found a treasure!
"Eh~"
"She also has a sister, wouldn't she be so unfaithful?"
Zhong Yan came up with this idea and then shook his head. In the war years, it was extremely difficult for the refugees to survive and they all relied on luck.
Early the next morning.
Zhong Yan went to He Jinyan's residence, picked him up and left.
Yu Qingyao who was present asked, "Why are we going in such a hurry so early in the morning?"
"Talk to Wen Hong for lessons!"
"..." Yu Qingyao was speechless, rolled her eyes, stamped her foot, bit her lip and said, "Right here!"
Zhong Yan stopped and said shyly: "I want to attend a three-person small class."
Yu Qingyao's pretty face turned red: "Am I not a human being?!"
Zhong Yan was startled and said uncertainly: "Are you coming?"
He Jinyan blinked and smiled shyly. She didn't know much about the other sisters, but she and Hong'er had served her husband many times.
As for Sister Qingyao, she once heard her husband say that she had always refused multi-person classes. Why did she change her gender today?
"Then come on."
Zhong Yan was happy in his heart but reluctant on the outside. He hugged the two of them into the house and was pinched hard by Yu Qingyao on the waist.
An experimental class.
Yu Qingyao [Kung Fu Enlightenment +3000, Spell Bonus +3000, Cultivation Experience +3500]
He Jinyan [Kung Fu Enlightenment +100, Spell Bonus +100, Cultivation Experience +80]
I thought there would be new reward projects.
Just replace the 'Spiritual Root Bonus' with 'Kung Fu Enlightenment' and 'Spell Bonus'.
Okay, no less.
"It won't work without binding. The comparison is too big."
Zhong Yan murmured in his heart.
…
