That night, everyone in Zizhuyuan broke out one after another.
Agui and Xiaohong both broke through to the late Yuan realm, and were about to see the threshold. It was like a dream for them.
This is something the two of them never dared to think about. They didn't expect that because of Li Ye, the couple's realm has repeatedly broken through over the years.
And Li Ye had already given them hope of immortality.
Bruce Lee went from the sixth level of Qi Gathering to the foundation-building level that night. As long as he uses Li Ye's body-tempering medicine, his future cultivation path will be smoother than that of Agui and Xiaohong.
Nangong Ruyu and the woman in white went back to the house to rest early. This was the first time for the woman in white to reunite with her son in many years. Both mother and daughter could not finish talking.
Xia Wutong felt secretly sad and went back to the house to rest early.
She needs to think carefully about her future journey. Should she stay in the Five Realms and continue practicing and ascend to her parents in another world one day, or should she follow the woman in white to the Asura Realm?
However, after she heard that she could not return to the Five Realms after going to the Shura Heaven Realm, her heart became entangled again. What if Li Ye went to another place?
After all, even the woman in white couldn't predict this.
After thinking about it, I gradually fell asleep. In the more than ten years of practice, I have never been so entangled.
Li Ye sat alone in front of the hall, watching the raindrops all night and listening to the sound of rain hitting purple bamboo and plantain.
There is a solitary lamp in front of the hall, a pot of spring tea, and a wandering person.
I gently turned the tea cup in my hand and stared blankly at the sudden shower outside the hall, thinking to myself that I know I am not willing to leave just now, and you don't need a rain to wet my mood at the moment.
Only those who are good at fighting can fight? Who is good at drinking?
I have prepared countless surprises for you. I am afraid that even the emperor in the imperial city does not know about these. These are weapons from the sky. Do you want me to show them to you one by one?
For Li Ye, as long as the imperial city has not fallen, and as long as Nalan Yu is still there, he can win this war, even if the Beihai Islands are overwhelmed, even if the second prince of Beixuan Territory betrays the Five Territory Dynasty .
He hoped that before the end of this war, he could suppress his own realm and not have an inexplicable and sudden breakthrough, and then force himself to ascend.
I'm afraid that neither my husband nor the woman in white in front of me can do anything at that time.
He still had to leave some time to return to the imperial city to temper his sister's body, and cook a medicinal soup for his parents and others to help them break through.
Thinking of this, Li Ye couldn't help but sigh heavily. The time left for him was really too tight.
He decided that after returning to the imperial city, even if the sky fell, he would go home to reunite with his parents and sister for a few days and arrange everything at home before going to the battlefield.
Because he knows that once he goes to the battlefield, he may never come back.
That battlefield was not only a Shura field, it was probably the place where he ascended.
With his current situation, it is impossible for him to have time to go to the top of Fangcun Mountain or the top of Tianshan Mountain.
As the old monk said, with the blessing of all Buddhas, where can't you ascend?
Thinking of this, I can't help but admire the old monk's boundless wisdom. I am afraid that my senior brothers Mingjue and Minghui will also want to go to the top of Fangcun Mountain when they break through the realm and ascend.
Only Lao Shang has compassion in his heart, using heaven and earth as the furnace of calamity, and using his mortal body to cope with the calamity.
He still had to leave some time to entrust his husband with the things he had to do but had not yet had time to do.
Because of Li Hongxiu, his husband had to live in the Five Realms for at least ten years and seize the land for another ten years. He became the hands-off shopkeeper and could only throw the remaining mess to his husband.
Just like when the emperor targeted him early and left his own mess to him.
Li Ye asked Agui to wake up Xiaobai who had fallen asleep, and the two brothers drank half a jar of wine and started drinking again.
Towards the end of the day, when the moon was at its peak, Xiaobai waved his hand and said, "Brother, leave this matter to me. I guarantee you will be satisfied!"
Li Ye's face was extremely solemn, and he held his hand and said, "Don't show off!"
Xiaobai grinned and said: "Brother, don't worry, I am also a master after all."
Li Ye sighed and said, "You are still my brother."
They stayed in front of the hall until the rain stopped and the rooster crowed three times before they got up and went back to the house.
Even if the sky falls, life must go on.
...
This night, Li Ye slept deeply. This was his home, a place he had not returned to for more than ten years.
When I woke up in the morning, I had already hit three strokes.
After washing up, he came to the front of the hall. The woman in white had already taken Xia Wutong and Nangong Ruyu to go shopping. Only Agui was guarding a fire with a pot of spring water that was about to boil.
Moving to the living room, Li Ye looked at him and asked, "We broke through again last night? How are Sister Xiaohong and Xiaolong?"
Looking at Li Ye sitting next to him, Agui grinned and said: "Xiaoye, Xiaohong and I have both reached the late stage of Nascent Soul. It is estimated that after practicing for another five or ten years, we will be able to break through to the realm of gods. "
Li Ye looked at him and smiled and said: "There are no gods in this world. The so-called gods are just a level of our cultivation. Only when you break through will you know that there is more..."
It wasn't that he was just pretending, but he was telling Agui the real situation. He didn't want to hurt him, nor did he want him to have an illusion.
Even if one's cultivation level breaks through to the point of being distracted, one only has a longer lifespan than other practitioners, and is not an immortal.
When Agui heard this, he looked at him and said with a smile: "That's it, Xiaohong and I know enough. When I was with the young master, I never thought that I would be able to practice to this level."
"You live a good life in Fengyun City and practice slowly. This is your blessed place. Don't leave easily. If Xiaolong doesn't have a better husband, don't leave easily. This is a quiet world."
Thinking of the turmoil in the outside world, Li Ye couldn't help but remind the eldest brother in front of him who had been following him since childhood.
Agui looked at him and smiled and replied: "Xiaohong and I are very satisfied to be able to help the young master manage this business. Xiaolong, I don't plan to let him leave. I don't want to be like my wife, not being able to see the young master for a long time."
Li Ye thought for a while, looked at him and said, "Xiaolong has just broken through and is not suitable for body tempering. I will give you the herbs for his body tempering later. You can temper him after a month."
Upon hearing this, Agui knew that Li Ye could not stay in Fengyun City for a long time, so he nodded and said, "On behalf of Xiaolong, I would like to thank you for your hard work. Our whole family is blessed by the master and his wife."
Li Ye shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"I'm going to say hello to Shopkeeper Tang and Shopkeeper Hu later. Let's go to the restaurant for dinner in the evening and have a good time together. In addition, I will teach you how to make wine. You go..."
Li Ye probably would have to leave within a few days, so he wanted to arrange these things as soon as possible.
If Agui learns how to make wine, the people who stay will also have more income.
Everything about making wine was needed at home. As long as Agui prepared it, Li Ye planned to teach him how to do it after lunch. Teaching people how to fish was Li Ye's purpose.
When Agui heard this, he looked at him and asked, "Are you so anxious?"
Li Ye looked at him and smiled: "Don't you want to learn? If you don't want to, I won't force you."
When Agui heard this, he jumped up anxiously and said, "Who said you don't want to learn anymore? I'll go prepare it right now and start after lunch."
"Go and inform them first. We'll talk about brewing in the afternoon." Li Ye looked at Agui and shouted as he left the hall.
...
Not long after, just as Li Ye was holding a bowl of white porridge to drink, Agui, who had just left, walked in again, followed by City Lord Xia of Fengyun City.
He looked at Li Ye and said, "Master, City Master Xia has something urgent to do to hit you!"
Li Ye waved his hand and replied: "You can go and do your work, I don't need you to greet me here." Li Ye didn't want Agui to hear the content of the conversation between the two.
Now the Lord of Xia City was already Li Ye's subordinate, and he quickly stepped forward to salute Li Ye.
Li Ye stretched out his hand and pulled the person to sit down, and said with a smile: "You have eaten, do you want to have another bowl together?"
City Lord Xia shook his head: "Xiaguan has already eaten, so there is no rush."
Li Ye could not help but smile faintly, the Lord of Xia City, holding a bowl of porridge and eating it slowly, and then ate a piece of pancake.
After that, he started to make tea. While washing the tea warmer, he said softly: "I am still the junior of City Lord Xia, so you don't have to be polite! I already know the reason for your visit. Let's talk about it after drinking tea."
Looking at the anxious face of City Lord Xia, Li Ye replied with a faint smile.
"The Imperial Master already knows? Someone has already come to deliver the letter?" City Lord Xia stared at him in disbelief.
Li Ye raised his head, looked at him and smiled and said, "A senior of mine came here to ask me about something. He told me about the war in Beihai. I will handle it."
City Lord Xia breathed a sigh of relief, looked at him and said, "Since the Imperial Master already knows, I have completed my mission." After saying that, he placed a yellow envelope sealed with fire paint on the table.
"The war has started, so there is no need to be too anxious. With my husband holding the battle in the imperial city, City Lord Xia does not need to worry too much."
City Lord Xia took the teacup handed over by Li Ye and took a sip. He finally smiled, looked at him and said, "With the Imperial Master here, we are all confident in this war."
After that, he looked at Li Ye and continued to ask: "Do you need me to prepare anything?"
Li Ye thought for a while and said quietly: "Get some fast horses, not a carriage!"
Time was urgent, and this time Li Ye planned to rush back to the imperial city as quickly as possible, just like when he came down from Fangcun Mountain and rushed back to the imperial city to launch his troops in southern Xinjiang.
City Lord Xia looked at him and nodded and replied: "The imperial master can exchange horses with the inn along the way. I will prepare more windy horses for you in case of emergency."
Li Ye looked at him and seemed to have remembered something. He raised his head and asked, "Are General Shangguan and his wife here? I plan to go down and visit you two."
Seeing that he was about to leave the Five Realms, Li Ye thought about what else to do for the little sister. Not to mention for the little sister, they still had their parents and the little guy Guan Qiu Ming at home.
Being able to help them break through the situation is also what Li Ye wants.
From the moment he went to Tianshan Mountain, he never forgot to give his heart to the General's Mansion. No matter what the future would be for him and his young lady, he recognized this fate.
City Lord Xia looked at him and smiled and said: "The general's wife took the princess to the imperial city. It is said that she went to find your mother. The general is alone in the house. Do you want to go with the imperial master?"
"Forget it, I'll just go there. This is just for a meeting, nothing else important." Li Ye thought, who was he? Son-in-law? But seeing that he was about to leave the Five Realms, he still didn't know if he would be able to see the young lady again.
Even if we see each other again, I'm afraid it will be years or decades later. At that time...
Thinking of this, Li Ye couldn't help but sigh again.
The two were only separated for ten years, and there were many gaps between them. If they were separated for another ten or twenty years, would the two of them still maintain their original intentions?
He scratched his head, sighed softly, looked at City Lord Xia and said, "You are really comfortable and happy living in Fengyun City. I am very envious of you!"
This is Li Ye's innermost thoughts. He has always longed for a simple life, as simple as Tianshan Mountain.
A meal, a dish, and a cup of tea are enough.
City Lord Xia knew Li Ye's experience. He looked at him and said with a wry smile: "Others envy the Imperial Master's glory and wealth, but few people understand what the Imperial Master really wants. It's incredible."
Li Ye smiled and waved his hand and said, "That's because City Lord Xia is a virtuous man who understands my past. If it had been anyone else, he would have scolded himself to death."
City Lord Xia sighed and said softly: "It is an honor for Fengyun City to have a national master come out of Fengyun City, and it is also an honor for the Imperial City of the Five Regions."
Li Ye watched him remain silent for a moment, then replied with a smile: "The manager of Xia City has nothing to do. This is the honor of the people of Fengyun City for decades. This is an indisputable fact."
City Lord Xia shook his head and replied: "The Imperial Master is the role model for us to learn from."
