A year ago, in the battle of Sheri City, deputy city lords Chang Gui and Ba Shi died in battle. After the war, Yan Qi and Yuan Zhong became deputy city lords. Although these two people have not been in office for a long time, their cultivation is advanced and their realm is second only. Yu Yunlizi.
The four general managers are all peak masters of the late Golden Core, and even the deputy general manager is also a late Golden Core master. How can they convince a baby deputy city lord of the same level!
"Thank you City Lord, I don't dare to accept it!" Zhou Yang said politely.
"Come here, take Deputy City Lord Zhou to his residence." Yunlizi shouted outside the house, threw the Deputy City Lord's token over, and then closed his eyes to rest, ignoring Zhou Yang.
Zhou Yang took the token, shook his head secretly, but followed the person without saying anything.
It stands to reason that Yun Lizi should let Zhou Yang be in charge of some affairs of Sheri City. Moreover, Zhou Yang is still the first deputy city lord, so the affairs he is in charge of are more important than Yan Qi and Yuan Zhong. But he just doesn't delegate power to Zhou Yang, just to show off his power. .
Zhou Yang didn't bother to care about this. It didn't matter whether he had power or not, as long as he could use the super teleportation array.
His deputy city lord's residence is not bad, it is a three-story pavilion, with an underground fire on the first floor and a secret training room underground. The yard is full of exotic flowers and plants, and is rich in aura. It can be considered a luxury house in Sheri City.
However, what he didn't know was that the real deputy city lord's residence was much more luxurious than this one. It had everything a cultivator could use, and it was also served by numerous guards and servants.
And here, his treatment is at most equivalent to that of the deputy general manager of the fourth door. Naturally, this was done intentionally by Yun Lizi, with the purpose of snubbing him and suppressing him.
Zhou Yang went straight to the secret room with the earth fire. It was not bad. The earth fire was of a high grade, enough to support him in refining the fifth grade elixir.
If it is a fifth-grade elixir for other purposes, Zhou Yang can directly refine it. But the ancient fifth-grade elixir to improve his cultivation level is equivalent to today's sixth-grade high-grade elixir, and it also requires a mysterious sealing talisman. He must be proficient in the fourth-grade elixir with the same effect.
The Xuanchen Pill was only an ancient third-grade elixir, but it suddenly jumped to the fifth grade. The success rate must be extremely low.
However, there are still several materials missing for the fourth-grade Xuanyang Pill, and the same is true for the Great Huandan for healing. It is uncertain when the required materials can be found.
If it really didn't work, he had already thought about it. He could first refine the fifth-grade elixir that is commonly used today, and then refine the Xuan Shen Dan after he became proficient in the technique.
"That's not right. I am the first deputy city lord of Sheri City. I have the right to mobilize the resources in the city. If I don't use the right, I must not waste this privilege if it expires!" After thinking about it, Zhou Yang's eyes suddenly lit up.
Sheri City is an unusual city. It is a huge city in the far west of the empire. The city lord's mansion manages such a huge city, so one can imagine the amount of cultivation resources that can be mobilized.
Moreover, there are hundreds of millions of cultivators in the giant city, there are countless shops, and there are many large and small auction houses. If you really can't find them in the city lord's palace, you can also recruit them in the name of the deputy city lord!
Of course, improving the level of alchemy is not something that can be accomplished overnight. The most urgent thing at the moment is to rush back to the far north, so the matter of alchemy can only be discussed later.
"I'm leaving as soon as I arrive. Will it arouse the suspicion of the Tea King?" This was his concern, and he had to have a reliable explanation.
After a night's rest, Zhou Yang came to see the Tea King again.
"Your Majesty is in retreat and it's not convenient to see guests." Yun Lizi blocked the way.
They were in retreat, and Zhou Yang had no choice. After thinking about it, he said: "City Lord, my subordinate's hometown is Tu Yan, a small town in the far north. Tu Yan has been captured by the army of darkness, but the spiritual tablets of my parents are still there. This subordinate is anxious and wishes he could fly back. Now that His Highness is in seclusion, I will ask the city lord for leave for a period of time and return after taking the spiritual throne of my parents. I hope you will fulfill your wishes!"
"This... the current situation in Sheri City is tense. If cultivators above the deputy general manager ask for leave, they need the permission of the prince. It's not my place to make the decision!" Yun Lizi looked troubled.
Although he said so, he was actually happy to see Zhou Yang leave. This so-called first deputy city lord was always hanging around in front of him, which made him upset. It was best to leave and never come back.
A year ago, he valued Zhou Yang very much, but now he just doesn't like Zhou Yang and wants to make everything difficult. The same is true now. Even if he finally succeeds, he still has to get tired of it.
"The kindness of parents can never be repaid in a child's lifetime. If the spiritual status of my parents' parents is destroyed by black ghosts, then I will be guilty of a great sin! I think your highness will understand this matter." Zhou Yang said solemnly. .
"I also sympathize deeply with this matter. However, as national affairs are serious, family matters must be put aside. I think Deputy City Lord Zhou understands, and he still has this responsibility!" Yunli looked solemn.
"The heavens and the earth are not as great as the kindness of parents. The city lord was also born and raised by his parents. How can he not know this?" Zhou Yang glanced at him and his tone became more serious.
"Hmph! The national affairs are of great importance, and everything must make way for it! Besides, Deputy City Lord Zhou has just been promoted, and now he has to leave. Isn't this unreasonable?" Yun Lizi's face darkened, and he pointed it out directly.
"The city lord has repeatedly prevented his subordinates from fulfilling their filial piety. The subordinates are really puzzled. Could it be that the city lord has no father or mother since he was a child? Has he never felt the kindness of his parents?" Zhou Yang said sarcastically.
"You are so presumptuous!" Yun Lizi shouted sternly, while the demigod's aura surged out, directly pressing towards Zhou Yang.
Zhou Yang looked at him coldly, remaining unmoved and unblinking despite the overwhelming coercion acting on him.
But the momentum of those demigods is like a mud cow entering the sea, without making any waves.
Yun Lizi was stunned for a moment, and then released 100% of his momentum, but Zhou Yang remained calm and cold, and his expression changed involuntarily.
"Please tell your highness that Zhou returned to the far north to fulfill his filial piety and will return as soon as the business is over!" Zhou Yang left these words and turned around to leave.
"You!" Yun Lizi's face turned livid with anger, and he pointed at Zhou Yang and was speechless.
"Let him go." After a moment, the voice of the Tea King came from the secret room.
"My lord, but he..." Yun Lizi's eyes were full of unwillingness.
"Forget it, apart from me, the king in Sheri City, you..." Tea King didn't finish his words, but his meaning was already obvious. None of the demigods in the city was Zhou Yang's opponent.
"Your Majesty, this is impossible!" Yun Lizi's face turned red, naturally dissatisfied.
He also saw that Zhou Yang's strength was not weak, but where his cultivation level was, he was only in the late stage of the Golden Core. At best, his Golden Core Dzogchen's combat power was as strong as the heavens. He could still fight with a real demigod like him. ?
Besides, he is the city lord of the Sun-shooting Giant City. Everyone under the city lord should obey his orders, but Zhou Yang makes it difficult for him to step down. How can he be willing to do so.
There was no sound in the secret room at this time.
Yun Lizi's face was uncertain. After a moment's hesitation, he bowed and then turned around and left with a gloomy expression.
