The snow stopped.
Storm is coming.
Today's Qingyang City has basically broken away from the category of 'mortal city', with more than 100,000 monks living there.
But on weekdays, there are fewer and fewer monks active in Fangshi Street in the South District. Under the invisible tense atmosphere, many monks are trying their best to improve their cultivation in order to cope with the war that is coming at an unknown time.
Years later, everyone in the Zhong clan rushed to their respective posts.
Qi Lou took several juniors of the right age to Yunmeng Secret Realm to practice.
Zhong Yan's life returned to calm, regular and orderly life, day after day.
There are many fertile fields, and you can work hard at night to gain experience. During the day, you can concentrate on practicing, half of the time opening up acupuncture points, and half of the time training the body.
It is worth mentioning that because the time he spends on body training has increased significantly, the rewards he received from taking classes with his wives and concubines have changed.
——'Practice Progress' changes to 'Immortal Experience' and 'Physical Refining Experience' which change randomly.
The underground palace training room.
"Seven hundred!"
Zhong Yan looked inside at the star-like acupoints in his body and took a deep breath.
Sure enough, in the later stages, it becomes more difficult and more expensive to open acupoints, and the time and resources consumed continue to increase.
"If it doesn't work, we can just break through when the time comes."
Zhong Yan murmured, turned over his hand and took out a jade bottle, pondered for a while, waved his hand and shot a sword light towards the bell with numbers engraved on the wall.
Not long after.
There was a knock on the door, and Miao Miao, dressed in a green outfit, pushed the door open and entered.
"Husband, are you looking for me?"
Miao Miao has a delicate oval-shaped face, phoenix eyebrows and starry eyes, and is very charming. Her personality is similar to Wei Siyu, gentle and restrained.
Although he was relatively reserved in class, thanks to Zhong Yan's powerful physical and mental strategies, he has now adapted to his identity.
"How many orifices have you opened?"
"Seven hundred and sixty-two."
"Do you have any plans to form a pill?"
Miao Miao's eyes flashed slightly and said: "I think it's been almost ten years since I reached Consummation. In the past two years, I have only opened up one more hidden aperture. It is very difficult to add more. Originally, my master... Xiao Yuqin also planned to exchange for the Fusion Spirit for me. Dan Chongguan.”
Zhong Yan smiled and said: "Are you sure? I heard that Liufeng got ten 'Flying Star Corals'. Before you came to Qingyang, Xiao Yuqin changed five spirit-melting pills. Now there are only four golden elixir realms in Liufeng."
Miao Miao was silent, how could she not know that although she had a high status among her peers, there were three senior sisters in front of her.
Moreover, the Sixth Peak was different from the Seventh Peak, with many disciples and many masters and uncles still alive. Even if all the Flying Star Corals were replaced, it would not be her turn.
Zhong Yan continued: "Once a teacher, always a father, Xiao Yuqin has the grace to raise and teach you. This is an unchanging fact and you don't need to avoid it.
As long as she doesn't stalk her, my clan won't bother to make an enemy of her. If it comes to a life-or-death situation, I'll let her go for once, just for your sake. "
Miao Miao took a breath and said, "Zhong Yan, I chose the path myself. I will adjust my mentality and do my part."
After a pause, she asked hesitantly: "Are you really the reincarnated emperor?"
Zhong Yan was startled and secretly laughed. This must be the main bargaining chip used by Wei Siyu and Yun Qianxun to coerce and induce her. If she refused, she would probably be slapped to death by Yun Qianxun.
He nodded and pushed the jade bottle in front of her.
"What?" Miao Miao opened it, her breath stagnant, and the Six-Way Pattern Fusion Spiritual Pill, "Give it to me?"
Zhong Yan smiled and said: "Since you have followed me, I will not treat you badly. I hope that you and I will work together to make progress together in the future."
Miao Miao felt warm in her heart, looked at each other, pursed her lips and said, "I understand, I will, thank you."
"Go get ready and get in shape."
"Um."
…
Time flies.
A year has passed in the blink of an eye.
The number of acupoints opened by Zhong Yan reached 721.
Miao Miao and Yun Qianxun successfully formed elixirs one after another. After the latter reached 600 acupoints, he couldn't bear the boredom and directly chose to advance.
Many monks in the mansion have improved their cultivation. For example, Yuan Ziyi broke into the eighth floor of the foundation building, and Yu Qingyao built the ninth floor.
There are many happy events.
He Jinyan, who has strong bloodline, gave birth to another son with true spiritual roots.
Ye Weiwei gave birth to a daughter with three spiritual roots.
Tang Xiaoshu, Wen Hong, Ding Wanjun and Zhu Xinyan are pregnant.
The second generation Zhong Qiping and Zhong Qian'an married, Jiang Ping's daughter Zhong Qiling married Xu Ce, and Xia He's daughter Zhong Qining married Ding Zhan.
There was another thing that surprised everyone - Wei Cen, who was pregnant before He Jinyan and Ye Weiwei, had not given birth for almost thirteen months!
However, after repeated physical examinations, it was found that the fetus in the abdomen was developing normally and was in good condition, but strangely, it was longer than Wei Siyu, who had used golden elixir to warm the fetus.
Wei Cen had just established the fifth level of foundation. He did nothing else except practice, and no special incident had ever occurred.
Unheard of!
However, Zhong Yan remembered Wei Cen's mysterious origin. He woke up in a sarcophagus in an underground palace deep in Mangdang Mountain. He was four or five years old when he was conscious, without a father or a mother.
Maybe it has something to do with it.
After checking many ancient books and materials, no relevant records or clues were found.
After discussion, Zhong Yan decided that Wei Cen would refine the blood of monster beasts every day to warm and nourish the fetus in order to observe the future changes.
…
Mid May.
Huo Donglai came to visit with his wife.
Zhong Qihuan and Huo Qing met for the first time. The boy and girl looked at each other and blushed at the same time.
Huo Qing followed his father, a handsome young man with a handsome appearance and a majestic head.
Zhong Qihuan has the excellent genetics of Zhong Yan and Wen Hong. He is also charming and has bright eyes.
In the eyes of the elders, the two are examples of 'love at first sight'.
However, Huo Qing was shy and didn't like to talk. He stood behind his mother with his hands tied and didn't dare to look around.
Zhong Qihuan was much more lively. He said to Zhong Yan, "Dad, you didn't lie to me, he is better-looking than you." Then he called "brother Huo Qing" and led him to introduce the brothers and sisters to each other.
The two families formally entered into a marriage contract and exchanged tokens.
Huo Donglai and Shi Lingzhen only stayed for two days, then left their son behind and left in a hurry because they had important matters.
Originally Huo Donglai wanted to see Zhou Yun, but Zhou Yun learned in advance that Shi Lingzhen was also coming and hid out of the house.
A few days later.
Zhong Yanzheng was checking the newly compiled latest news in the spiritual world.
Qin Youbai came in and reported: "Husband, Qixiang has died."
Zhong Yan looked up and saw that Zhong Qixiang was the adopted son of a monk who was taken back from Fuyang Town in his early years and was later sent to Wei to follow Qin Ben.
Zhong Xiaozhong and Zhong Qiyu looked at each other and their expressions changed slightly.
Qin Youbai said: "Just now, the soul card completely exploded."
Zhong Qiyu hurriedly took out the talisman to send a message and asked another Zhong Qidun who was lurking in Master Qin Ben's team.
As a result, the news was not received yet and he went out with the army.
Obviously, Zhong Qixiang died in the battle.
Zhong Yan was silent and said: "Put a tomb in the cemetery."
"Let's do it for the little ones."
Zhong Xiaozhong left quickly.
…
There is no time to practice.
In the blink of an eye, more than a year has passed.
Zhong Yan opened 728 acupoints, and the last one took three months and more than 14,000 spiritual stones.
"Based on this estimate, wouldn't the next one take more than half a year?"
After some thought, Zhong Yan decisively stopped and began to practice the 'fire attribute' vitality.
Sure enough, the effect was remarkable. In just two months, the solidification of the basic 'Fire Yuan Qi' continued to increase to the ninth level of foundation building, opening twelve acupoints in one fell swoop, and once again fell into a bottleneck.
Zhong Yan immediately changed to the 'Wood Attribute', starting from the first level of Qi Refining, climbing up step by step, and the acupoints lit up one after another.
time flies.
On this day, the thirty-fifth courtyard.
In the yard, Wei Cen, who was thirty months pregnant, looked panicked, stroking her belly and yelled: "Dong'er!"
On the side, Xiaohong, the flying thunder ape, turned into a flash of red light and rushed into the building, knocking on the door of Gu Dongdong's training room.
"Sister Weiwei, what's wrong?"
Gu Dongdong rushed out and looked at the stone table. The table was filled with food scraps and countless bones.
Wei Cen said anxiously: "Quick! Call your husband, there may be something wrong with the child. He is moving around inside. I, I am so hungry..."
At this moment, she had eaten a lot of spiritual rice, spiritual fruits, cakes, and hundreds of kilograms of monster meat.
Not a moment.
Zhong Yan and Wei Siyu came over and explored Wei Cen's body one by one. As expected, the child in his belly was restless.
Wei Cen spoke incoherently: "The food intake has gradually increased in the past half month. My appetite is particularly good today. I didn't feel anything at first, but suddenly I realized that I had eaten so much at once. Now, I am still hungry..."
Zhong Yan frowned, holding her hand and injecting vitality into it to soothe the placenta, "How about it?"
Wei Cen shook his head: "It doesn't work. I tried it, but it just makes me feel hungry."
"coming!"
Yu Qingyao flew to the ground, waved her hand and took out a large bowl of meat and placed it on the table.
Wei Cen's eyes shone, he swallowed and looked at his husband.
Zhong Yan and Wei Siyu looked at each other and said, "Try it first and eat slowly."
Then, in full view of everyone, thirty kilograms of animal meat quickly bottomed out.
Yun Qianxun muttered: "I'm afraid that's not possible. There could be a glutton inside..."
Zhong Yan, who was always caressing Wei Cen's abdomen, could clearly feel that the child inside stabilized his mood while eating.
He glanced at Yu Qingyao and said, "Continue."
Yu Qingyao took out many spiritual fruits and meat from the storage bag.
Half an hour later, it was still continuing.
Everyone was stunned and their expressions changed again and again.
Yu Qingyao said worriedly: "It's almost 400 kilograms after eating."
Yun Qianxun: "When will it be over? I have to think of other ways."
After pondering for a long time, Zhong Yan turned over his hand and took out several jade bottles, "Weiwei, stop for a moment and try the blood of the monster essence."
Zhong Yan, Wei Siyu, and Yun Qianxun surrounded Wei Cen, and together they pulled the 'monster essence and blood' into his abdomen for refinement.
Thirty-six bottles in total.
Wei Cen said uncertainly: "It seems to be OK. The child is not moving and is not hungry anymore."
Zhong Yan checked for pulse and breathed a sigh of relief.
From this day on, Wei Cen had to eat hundreds of kilograms of food every day, plus refining at least thirty bottles of demonic beast blood to quench his hunger.
Other than that, there are no other abnormalities.
Everyone in the Zhong Mansion is looking forward to how strange the birth of a child will be in the future.
The sun is blazing in August.
The number of Zhong Yanqiao's acupoints reached 800, and he was in a good mood. He left the training room and went to inspect the work department of the Erzhongyuan.
A large group of people gathered in the hall and were discussing.
Wei Siyu: "Ayan, I was just about to inform you that Senior Sister has sent a message and is preparing to leave for Qingyang."
Zhong Yan's eyes narrowed, he was finally about to start.
"Yu'er, notify Qin Ben."
Zhong Qiyu: "I was summoned just now."
Zhong Yan nodded, looked around and said: "Xiao Zhong, please inform the city lord's palace, prepare the army for war, and pay close attention to the movements in Minglan City."
Zhong Xiaozhong: "Yes, Master!"
Zhong Yan: "Ding Zhan took people to Fuyang Town as planned to strengthen connections with surrounding towns..."
Ding Zhan: "Yes, father-in-law!"
"Miaomiao, from today onwards you will be stationed at the north gate. If there are any passing troops, they will be allowed to pass if they are thirty miles away."
"Yunmei is stationed at the south gate. She goes out from the loose gate and enters the strict gate. All monks who enter the city are strictly checked and registered."
"Qianxun, Brother Bai Dao, gather your troops. If there is any movement in the garrison, we will capture it as soon as possible!"
"..."
After some arrangements, everyone was busy.
Zhong Yan summoned the ancestors of the Ding and Peng families and agreed to meet for a meeting.
Two days later.
The Xianwu Calendar lasted for 36,520,000 years.
In the eighty-seventh year of the reign of Emperor Kangyou of the State of Yan.
At the age of fifteen, the emperor's eldest grandson 'Hongwu' came to Dabao and changed his name to Jinghong.
The next day, Huoyun Sect announced its split.
Huai'an City led an army of 200,000 to attack Changyi City, starting the Yan Civil War.
On the same day, Qin Ben's army in Jizhou, Wei State, declared independence and raised the flag "Dayan".
The princes of all parties were unwilling to lag behind and raised new flags.
The heroes broke up and war broke out.
