Looking at the pitiful 600,000 taels of gold on the system's books, Yang Fan was a little hesitant.
On the one hand, he didn't know which aspect would be more appropriate to use the gold to improve.
On the other hand, he also wanted to keep some gold for emergencies.
It stands to reason that these 600,000 taels of gold can allow him to directly cultivate the Yin and Yang Jue to the second level.
But the temptation of Qinggong made Yang Fan reluctant to leave.
After all, Qinggong is not only a way to escape, but also a way to show off.
Gritting his teeth, Yang Fan finally decided that the Yin Yang Jue must be improved.
Because "inner energy" is the basis of other methods.
However, the Yin Yang Jue can be upgraded to the first level, and then 300,000 taels of gold can be used to practice Qing Gong.
The remaining 100,000 taels of gold can still be kept for emergencies.
Having made a decision, Yang Fan directly clicked on the system and waved his hand.
"Ding... the host consumes 200,000 taels of gold to practice the Yin and Yang Art..."
"Ding...the host consumes 300,000 taels of gold to practice Qing Gong..."
As the gold disappears, a qi is generated in the body.
This "inner energy" is not a warm current like the inner energy in Xiaowuxia, but a cool feeling.
Because there is no guidance, this energy does not move around the body.
Yang Fan transferred the Qi in his body according to the Yin Yang Jue technique. This internal Qi was like a waving arm!
After studying for a long time, Yang Fan gradually understood the magical function of this inner energy.
If this inner energy is transferred to the arm, the strength and speed of one's shots can be more than doubled.
Moreover, this internal energy can stimulate the activity of cells, speed up your metabolism, and produce greater energy.
Only then did Yang Fan understand why once a Qi practitioner cultivated his inner Qi, both his strength and speed would be greatly improved.
I think that others may not be able to cultivate their inner energy after decades of hard work, but I have achieved it easily.
Even though the huge amount of gold made Yang Fan feel a little distressed, it was still worth it.
Isn’t money just for spending?
The wind blows the eggshells, and the wealth is gone and people are happy!
Don't tell me, it's fun to cheat.
Yang Fan, who had perfected his inner energy and light skills, was like a child who got a new toy and came to the back garden impatiently.
After a while, a figure kept shuttling and gliding on the top of the tree.
Ouch!
This feeling of going up and down, looking down from the sky on the ground is really shocking.
Yang Fan couldn't help but let out hearty howls.
…
Because he was so excited, Yang Fan didn't fall asleep until late at night.
But not long after he fell asleep, little master Yueluo pulled Yang Fan up from the bed.
Yesterday Yue Luo wanted to give up on Yang Fan, an unmotivated student, and even hated the fact that iron cannot become steel.
But after thinking about it all night, Yue Luo decided not to give up halfway, thinking that Yang Fan still had a chance to save it.
When Yue Luo took the sleepy Yang Fan to the front yard to prepare for her earnest education.
But he didn't expect to be directly suppressed by the inner energy that Yang Fan inadvertently released.
After a long while, Yue Luo stared with a pair of bright eyes and asked in disbelief: "You actually cultivated the inner energy? Don't you have the mental method to cultivate the inner energy?"
"Ahem, yesterday I accidentally learned the method of cultivating inner qi from the emperor's foreign scriptures, and then accidentally cultivated inner qi again. It's not difficult to become a qi practitioner!"
Facing Yueluo's kawaii look, Yang Fan said something like Versailles.
Is it not difficult to become a Qi Refiner?
Yue Luo is speechless!
I practiced hard for more than ten years, and with the best resources and the help of my grandfather, I became a Qi practitioner.
Some people with poor talent may not even be able to join the ranks of Qi Refiners until they die!
And Yang Fan, a lazy guy, actually entered the door of Qi Refiner in just two days.
It’s true that people have to die when compared with others, and goods have to be thrown away when compared with others. Are you going to let people live?
I originally prepared a lot of chicken soup for the soul, but now it has become a joke.
Little girl Yueluo feels miserable!
However, this guy Yang Fan is simply too evil!
The day before yesterday, her grandfather gave the tribe's treasured Emperor's Foreign Scripture to Yang Fan. She was still a little aggrieved, but now all she has left is admiration.
Sure enough, Jiang is still very old, and grandpa’s vision is so accurate!
Yue Luo originally wanted to be a master, but it seems that there is no chance now!
Looking at the little girl who was a little disappointed, Yang Fan could only touch his nose and comforted: "I can cultivate the inner energy so quickly because of your teachings, little master. Without you, I would not have been able to succeed. My success is inseparable from your contribution!"
Hearing these words, Yue Luo, who was very nervous, felt much better and could only say: "Last time I mistakenly believed the thief's words and almost killed you. I already have clues about those who created the rumors. I will go Help you find justice..."
Facing the monster Yang Fan, she was under too much pressure.
What's more, she personally agreed to find and punish those who spread rumors for Yang Fan.
"Be careful!"
Yang Fan did not persuade him to stay, but just warned him.
Because he knew that the speed of his cheating practice had obviously subverted the little girl's cognition, and the little girl needed to be quiet.
What's more, Yang Fan has never been able to find time to deal with those who deliberately slander his reputation.
The little girl going to find a place for herself can also give those people some lessons and warnings.
With Yue Luo's departure, Yang Fan's life returned to peace.
In addition to doing office work, I usually spend time with a few women at home.
There was no trouble for Yang Fan, but the whole of Jiangnan was constantly being assassinated because of some of the descendants of the Jiangnan gentry.
Even the assassins blatantly left behind the charges against these people after killing them.
Of course, these dead people all have one thing in common. They were all involved in spreading rumors about Yang Fan.
Only then did everyone realize that when the female assassin assassinated Yang Fan, she had already been instigated by Yang Fan to rebel.
Now the female assassin is here to fulfill her original promise to Yang Fan.
For a time, everyone in the Jiangnan gentry who had made some small moves was in danger.
More importantly, the Jiangnan nobles in the court failed to impeach Yang Fan.
At the same time, the news that the emperor ordered that the direct relatives of the Wang family and Huang family in Jiangning be escorted back to Beijing to await trial also spread to Jiangnan.
They fear that they will be the next to be assassinated or have their homes confiscated and their clan exterminated.
This made the entire Jiangnan gentry feel insecure and in constant panic.
Everyone involved tried their best to reach a settlement with Yang Fan.
Ever since, Li Tai has become the best middleman.
After all, most of them Jiangnan nobles support Li Tai.
They believed that as long as Li Tai still wanted to fight for the throne, it would be impossible to ignore them.
You must know that if the Jiangnan nobles lose all their strength, it will also be a huge blow to Li Tai.
Therefore, the Jiangnan nobles recommended some people who were close to Li Tai and came to see Li Tai, hoping to get the prince's protection.
…
There is a huge manor in the south of Huating County. It was originally the ancestral home of the Zeng family of the Jiangnan gentry.
When the three great families of Wang, Zeng, and Cai in Huating County were wiped out by Yang Fan, these were left empty.
When Li Tai first came to Jiangnan, he originally wanted to live in Yang Fan's mansion.
Later, Yang Fan felt that Li Tai was an eyesore, so after renovating the Zeng family's ancestral house, it became Li Tai's temporary residence.
This house is located in the south of Huating County, not very far from the Governor's Office and the county government.
Nowadays, there is a lot of money in these areas, but the house where Li Tai lives occupies an area of more than ten acres, which does not mean that he has lost his identity.
Since arriving in Jiangnan, Li Tai rarely goes out.
But his information is not blocked, and he is also very understanding of the situation of the Jiangnan nobles.
It's just that this time His Majesty Li Er went to war against the Wang family and Huang family in Jiangning, which somewhat surprised him.
For many years, His Majesty Li Er was afraid that Jiangnan would escape the control of the imperial court and had not dared to take action against the Jiangnan nobles.
This time, Li Er used the Wang family and the Huang family to scare the monkeys because of these people's impeachment of Yang Fan, which was really surprising to him.
Li Taizhen did not expect that Yang Fan was so important in His Majesty Li Er's mind.
Of course, Li Tai also knew the reason why His Majesty Li Er supported Yang Fan so unswervingly.
In fact, it was also to control Jiangnan in order to provide logistical support for the Eastern Expedition to Goguryeo.
However, His Majesty Li Er's action did suppress the Jiangnan gentry.
These days, many people from the Jiangnan gentry want to come and see him, but Li Tai has not made his position clear.
Li Tai knew very well the purpose of these people seeking to see him, but he also wanted to make these people realize his importance.
Li Tai was extremely annoyed that the Jiangnan nobles bypassed him and gathered to impeach Yang Fan, and even united with the Wang family in Taiyuan to target Yang Fan.
In Li Tai's mind, he was the master, or partner, of these Jiangnan nobles. How could he allow something like this to happen that was out of his control?
These people failed to impeach Yang Fan and even suffered backlash.
Then Li Tai must make them realize their importance.
Let these people know that only he, Li Tai, can save them now, only he, Li Tai, can protect them, and no one else can!
Now Li Tai is waiting for an opportunity to make these people feel oppressed and have a sense of crisis.
More importantly, Li Tai wants these proud families to know that Yang Fan is not someone to mess with.
You can wipe their butts this time and avoid causing him less trouble next time.
Otherwise, if you collide with Yang Fan again in the future, you can settle the matter yourself.
Li Tai didn't want to take that kind of unknown risk anymore.
You know, the impact of the impeachment of Yang Fan is really far-reaching!
After all, most of the officials in the DPRK collectively targeted Yang Fan and even provoked the imperial power, which had touched the emperor's bottom line.
Although the emperor has not raised his butcher knife for many years, it does not mean that the emperor's knife has become rusty.
Of course, what he experienced in Jiangnan during this period also made Li Tai realize how terrifying Yang Fan was.
People who don't know Yang Fan may think that Yang Fan is young, has little experience, has poor background, and is easy to deal with.
But Li Tai didn't think so.
Precisely because Yang Fan is young, he has unlimited possibilities in the future.
If Yang Fan could agree to recruit them, Li Tai might rather give up these Jiangnan nobles.
"The prince is so lucky. He can actually get Yang Fan's support. I really envy him!" Li Tai sighed in a low voice.
Last time Yang Fan tried to protect Li Chengqian, in Li Tai's view, Yang Fan was still more optimistic about the prince.
What is most important when it comes to competing for reserves?
In addition to the emperor's affirmation, the other thing is talent!
And Yang Fan is the kind of talent that is rare in a thousand years.
Not only is he good at making money, but he is also very capable in government affairs.
The most important thing is that Yang Fan's influence in the military is absolutely unique.
The biggest reason why the Jiangnan gentry failed to impeach Yang Fan this time was because Yang Fan had the support of big guys like the military.
Li Tai is not lacking in the emperor's favor, but the only thing lacking is that he does not have enough talented people under his command.
Li Tai is self-aware and his talent is good enough, but he lacks one thing, the name of orthodoxy.
Precisely because he lacks the reputation of being orthodox, it is extremely difficult for him to recruit talents.
Because almost all of these talents were adopted by the prince for his own use!
Originally, the last time Hou Junji rebelled was Li Tai's best chance to defeat the prince.
But Yang Fan used his own efforts to buy the prince a year's opportunity!
"I'm so envious!" Li Tai couldn't help but sigh again.
How great it would be if I had someone as outstanding as Yang Fan under my command!
Li Tai regretted that he had bumped into Yang Fan.
If he hadn't given Yang Fan such a bad impression at the beginning, he might have already taken Yang Fan into his pocket.
However, the Jiangnan nobles repeatedly tried to drive Yang Fan out of Jiangnan and even put him to death. They were simply seeking death.
Yang Fan usually looks carefree and harmless to humans and animals.
But once he gets ruthless, he doesn't care who you are, even the emperor dares to bear it.
The descendants of the Jiangnan gentry who were assassinated during this period were regarded by Li Tai as Yang Fan's revenge.
Now that Yang Fan was almost out of anger, Li Tai felt that it was time for him to take action.
Once this Bangchui takes revenge without hesitation, you can imagine how miserable the Jiangnan nobles will be!
Yang Fan has a navy in his hands, so he might not dare to massacre openly, but who knows if he might be playing dirty tricks?
Li Tai knew Yang Fan's temperament very well, so he was extremely afraid of him.
After all, once the Jiangnan nobles were wiped out, Li Tai would lose the opportunity to compete for the heirloom.
Nowadays, everyone in the Jiangnan gentry is in danger and urgently needs to seek asylum.
In Jiangnan now, no matter his status or influence, the only one who can make Yang Qi scruple is probably Li Tai.
On the one hand, he is the emperor's favorite prince and a noble prince. Yang Fan will give him this face no matter what.
On the other hand, after all, Yang Fan is his brother-in-law and has an in-law relationship, so he can play some family cards.
The most important thing is that Li Tai also knows that Yang Fan does not want Jiangnan to fall into chaos.
As long as the people in Jiangnan relent, Yang Fan will definitely agree to live in harmony.
Therefore, after careful consideration, Li Tai decided to summon these people and be a peacemaker.
"Your Highness, the people talking to each family in the south of the Yangtze River have arrived at the house. Do you want to go out now?" Li Tai's housekeeper came to ask.
"Well, I understand, let them wait first."
"promise!"
"You stay here first, and you help me with my advice." Li Tai called to the housekeeper who was about to leave.
Being able to become the steward of the palace is naturally something special.
Not just a housekeeper, but more often Li Tai's adviser.
After the housekeeper stopped, Li Tai asked: "Do you think that if the king intercedes with Yang Fan on behalf of these people, will it cause Yang Fan to resent him or even turn against him?"
Although Li Tai wanted to preserve the power of the Jiangnan nobles, he was still a little uneasy.
Talents like Yang Fan are the pillars of the empire in every dynasty.
If this incident caused Yang Fan to become disgusted with himself, and even deliberately prevented him from becoming the crown prince, then it would really be more than worth the gain!
The housekeeper was a little surprised when he heard Li Tai's words.
Li Tai was very proud before, but he didn't expect to be so worried now.
But let’s face it, who wouldn’t be afraid of a monster like Yang Fan?
Since Li Tai asked for his opinion, the housekeeper was not modest and said directly: "Your Highness does not need to worry about this. Now that the Governor Yang Fan has not established a stable foothold in Jiangnan, he certainly does not want to start a war, and he will definitely agree to your Highness's mediation."
"In addition, most of the talents in Jiangnan come from aristocratic families. If Yang Fan really regards all Jiangnan nobles as enemies, it will only be empty talk if he wants to develop Jiangnan."
"Therefore, my subordinates believe that living in harmony with the Jiangnan nobles is the most beneficial choice for Yang Fan."
"Of course, the Jiangnan gentry's rise to impeach Yang Fan has made him angry. If you want to reconcile, you must have a conciliatory attitude."
"As long as these people are willing to give up some of their interests, and His Highness will mediate, I think Yang Fan will definitely agree."
"If His Highness can fight for enough benefits for Yang Fan, the relationship between His Highness and Yang Fan will definitely get closer. After all, no one will push out the fat in their mouths, what do you think?"
After hearing the butler's analysis, Li Tai nodded approvingly: "Well, not bad, but I think too much!"
The butler smiled and said: "Your Highness, what's wrong with being more cautious?"
At this point, the butler smiled and whispered: "Besides, by acting as a peacemaker this time, His Highness will not only gain Yang Fan's friendship, but also gain further loyalty from the Jiangnan nobles... It can be said that both sides can benefit, why?" Are you happy but not doing it?”
Li Tai said with great joy: "I know what to do. You wait outside first. I will change my clothes first. You can go with me to meet those guys later!"
"promise!"
