Cangbao Street, Zhongfu.
Thirty-fifth courtyard.
Zhong Yan stood on the corridor, looking at the flower beds in the garden and thinking.
Just received a summons from Huo Donglai.
After more than two years, the Yunmeng Secret Realm was finally further opened, and various forces were allocated quotas with varying numbers of people.
It also provides more information about the secret realm - a 'retreat' space that should be opened by a certain great power.
The area is huge and has not yet been fully explored. It is estimated to be at least one-tenth of Mangdang Mountain, with mountains, rivers, and dense forests.
No one reproduces.
There are no buildings.
There are very few signs of human activity - there is only one stone temple that is obviously a cultivation cave, located on top of a thousand-foot-high peak.
So far, the oldest elixir found is more than 14,000 years old.
There are many beasts.
However, there are relatively few monsters, ranging from Qi refining to golden elixir stages, and it is not certain whether there are higher-level ones hidden there.
According to the old monster Yuanying of the Shenxiao Sect, it is speculated that the monsters inside are not spiritual species bred in captivity, but ordinary beasts that evolved independently after absorbing spiritual energy for a long time.
There are complete formations and restrictions in some places, and they are still being explored. It is not yet certain whether there are old monsters that threaten the Nascent Soul.
In general, with the two Nascent Soul monks from the Shenxiao Sect leading the way, they can definitely afford it.
For the cultivation world of Yan State, even three-point profit is undoubtedly a great opportunity.
Any spiritual grass is a precious medicine of extremely high age.
There is a medicine garden under the giant peak, which is more than 500 acres. The garden is full of elixirs and is extremely prosperous. The two sides clearly divided it into 30-70 according to the quantity.
In addition, the entire secret realm is divided into two parts according to the horizontal distance starting from the entrance. The larger one belongs to the Shenxiao Sect, and the smaller one belongs to the Yan Kingdom. What you can get depends on luck...
Huo Donglai helped get a spot from Wufeng.
Zhong Yan politely declined.
The plan could not keep up with the changes, and he thought it would take at least three to five years.
According to the current trend, once some monks are transferred back from the Wei battlefield, the entire secret realm will be completely open to the cultivation world in a year.
Unfortunately, Zhou Yun left.
Otherwise, they can take the opportunity to swallow up the Five Elements Sect first and completely consolidate their position in the northwest.
"Lin Zhengping should be back soon. I wonder if he is willing to intervene..."
According to the itinerary of previous vassal competitions, they usually lasted more than three years. In addition to the journey and competition, the participating disciples would also stay in Chu for a period of time to gain more knowledge and communicate with monks from other countries.
"Husband!"
Yuan Ziyi flew down and said: "Senior Sister just sent me a message, saying that the secret realm is open... leaving a place for us, let me go."
Zhong Yan nodded: "What did you say?"
Yuan Ziyi: "I said I'm busy at home, think about it, do you want to go?"
Zhong Yan asked, "What else did you say?"
Yuan Ziyi looked at each other and said: "Let's speed up the progress. There is a large medicine garden in the secret realm. All forces have been assigned to the 'Flying Star Coral'. In the next few years, many golden elixirs may be produced..."
After giving the details, she added: "Also, Senior Sister said that as soon as the sect is split, she will move to Qingyang, and then she will want Qingyang City."
"You just want me to move to another market town?"
Zhong Yan sneered in his heart and curled his lips, it was not certain who would have the final say then.
After pondering for a moment, he said: "Just say that you want to build a formation, and if you can't leave, let Huilan go."
…
Half a month later.
Yao Huilan returned from Liusha Island and returned to Huoyun Sect alone.
On the same day, Zhong Yan received uncertain news from Yangquanfang City - the master of the three peaks of the Fire Cloud Sect had successfully formed an elixir.
The subpoena has been confirmed by multiple parties and is true.
"Damn, it should be the pills exchanged for herbs from Shenxiao Sect!"
Zhong Yan complained speechlessly.
The level of refining the 'Spirit Fusion Pill' in the cultivation world of Yan country is immature, and most of them have immoral lines, and even one line is very rare.
Even if there are high-quality materials, it will take time to accumulate.
It has been less than three years since the secret realm was opened. How could high-quality elixirs be refined so quickly?
The Shenxiao Sect would be happy to exchange the high-vintage 'Flying Star Coral' for the medium-quality Sandaowen and Sidaowen 'Rongling Dan'.
"I hope that the Five Elements Sect will produce a golden elixir cultivator soon."
Zhong Yan muttered and turned around to see Yu Qingyao and Jiang Ping coming together.
"I have met my husband!"
Jiang Pingqiao smiled brightly, bowed her body, and exuded the temperament of a mature lady.
Probably due to a change in her mood, since she was bound, she felt calm and devoted to her husband. She no longer had to worry about being harsh on her husband.
Therefore, in addition to taking turns to sleep with her, she would take the initiative to find him when she wanted to go to class, basically at least once a month.
Zhong Yan took the two of them to the pavilion and sat down.
Chat for a while.
Jiang Ping got down to business: "Husband, Xing'er and Sheng'er are not young anymore. Can they get married?"
Zhong Yan was slightly startled, why did he suddenly mention this matter, but Zhong Qixing was over eighteen years old, and the younger Zhong Qisheng was also sixteen or seventeen years old.
However, in his opinion, it would be better to be more stable after the age of 20 and then talk about marriage.
Jiang Ping looked at Zhong Yan and Yu Qingyao's faces, coughed slightly, and said, "Yesterday Liu'er's sister-in-law told me that Xing'er went to the East District to visit a brothel and stayed overnight."
The corners of Zhong Yan's mouth twitched: "..."
Zhong Qixing visits the kiln? And sneaked away to the East District!
It's not that he minded and forbade his son from visiting brothels, after all, he did so himself.
It's just that the eldest son Zhong Qixing is gentle, personable, and looks really serious, which is a bit unexpected.
Two boys, Zhong Qisheng and Zhong Qiping, had long gone to brothels with children from aristocratic families in the city, drinking, listening to music, reciting poems, and making friends...
Maybe I didn't call her a girl before, but as I've gotten older in the past two years, I don't have to ask, and I'm sure I'll take advantage of her.
"Have you asked him?"
Jiang Ping: "We've talked about it. It's still too early for Xing'er to say it. In a few years, it will be hard to show off."
Smiling, she continued: "Sheng'er was straightforward. He fell in love with Xiang'er and bluntly said that he wanted to marry someone else, but he was taught a lesson by Sister Dongcao."
Xiang'er, Zhong Yan has the impression that the girl adopted by the house has five spiritual roots and often plays with Zhong Qisheng.
However, according to the family plan, foreign children with spiritual roots will be mated to children with spiritual roots in the family in the future. This is obviously the reason why Dongcao scolded them.
Zhong Yan pondered for a moment and said, "Ask Xiang'er what she means. If you want to marry her, you must pay attention to the way you talk. You must be willing to do so, and try to combine your spiritual roots with each other."
Jiang Ping nodded: "I understand."
…
evening.
Jiang Ping went to find her son's residence and brought up the marriage again.
Zhong Qixing looked unnatural and said with a wry smile: "Mom, didn't I tell you to wait a little longer!"
Jiang Ping stared at her son and said, "That's all you have! Qi Sheng came to your father to marry Xiang'er. Your father said that you are the eldest son. You should marry him first. How many more years can you wait? Can Qi Sheng wait?"
Zhong Qixing was startled, blinked and asked, "Lao Er and Lan Xiang? Lan Xiang is a monk, is she willing?"
Jiang Ping said angrily: "Why don't you want to? The two of them are getting along well, they have been secretly getting along for a long time! You just have to study hard!"
Afterwards, Jiang Ping reported several of her favorite daughter-in-laws and asked with a smile: "Which one do you like? Mom, let me tell you."
Zhong Qixing hesitated and said nothing.
"Or do you have something in mind?"
After asking, Jiang Ping stared at her son, pondered for a moment and said: "Those with three spiritual roots or above can't do it. She can practice but you can't. How will we get along with each other in the future? The fourth spiritual root with poor qualifications, please ask your father to intercede for you."
Zhong Qixing was silent for a while and asked, "Is it okay for a woman in the city?"
Jiang Ping raised her eyebrows, stood up immediately, and raised her voice: "Who? Don't tell me that you are a brothel girl!"
"How can it be?!"
Zhong Qixing said hurriedly: "That girl's name is Liu Yunge. She lives in the North District and has a small pharmacy..."
Listened in detail.
"Wait!"
Jiang Ping glared at her son, turned and left.
A detailed investigation.
Jiang Ping called him a good guy and gained a new understanding of his precious son.
What about visiting a brothel? It turned out to be fake.
Staying overnight, the result was that I paid the girl to copy poems all night.
The purpose, it is not difficult to guess, is to use eye drops, knowing that the hidden guards at home will find out and spread to the parents - when I grow up, I miss women.
As for Liu Yunge, I met him by chance on the street. After that, I met him several times, and we became acquainted and fell in love with him.
It's just that Liu Yunge's family is very ordinary. The family of three lives in a simple drug store.
After failing to persuade her, Jiang Ping couldn't bear her son's plea, and since there was no problem with the identity of Liu Yunge's family, Jiang Ping had no choice but to report to Zhong Yan and ask for permission.
Two months later.
The eldest son and second son of the Zhong Mansion got married together, and the house was full of guests and friends.
