In seven years, the world has changed greatly, and the same is true for the world.

With the Queen Changwu and the Empress, they completely controlled the situation in the southern wilderness. After the national teacher practiced the method, the Shenguan pushed 500 miles southward, and placed all the Black Cloud Plain and Xuanji Demonic Road Mountain Gate behind Huxiao Pass.

Not only that, other eleven levels have also begun to advance towards the southern desert, allowing the territory of the Yongliang Continents of Chixian and Shenzhou to expand.

However, this also creates an extremely embarrassing phenomenon.

Among the Jiuzhou, Yanzhou and Qingzhou are adjacent to the East China Sea and are surrounded by other major states, so they cannot expand their territory. On the contrary, Yongzhou, Liangzhou and Jingzhou continue to expand their land and annex the East and South China wastelands, making the southern part of the Jiuzhou pattern even more bloated.

According to the prophecy of knowledgeable people, when the dynasty is in turmoil in the future and the new dynasty will re-establish Jiuzhou again, it will follow the example of the predecessors to set up Jiuzhou again and re-plan the territory of Jiuzhou.

At present, the inner city of the original Hu Xiao Pass has become a major transportation route to guard the southern wilderness and has been renamed Tianyun City.

As for those merchants who had the vision to invest in Hu Xiao Pass earlier, they took the opportunity to expand their influence. With the help of Nanhuang specialties and Sino-Turkey trade, their business became more and more prosperous. Among them, the Ren Family Trading Company had the greatest popularity. The "Shennong Rice" they launched was once selected as the Royal Tribute Rice.

Ren Kui grew up with his own business making money every day.

On this day, his school organized a spring outing and arranged for a group of young noble children to go outing in Xinghualing, a southern suburb.

Pink spring apricots are blooming everywhere in Xinghua Ridge. It is said that a fairy planted it with great magic power a few years ago.

"No surprise, this should have been done by Aunt Yingchun."

Ren Kui sat on the big bluestone beside the stream, tilting his head to watch the scenery.

In the middle of the apricot blossom forest, there is a gurgling stream flowing through the river channel. The stream water is clear and transparent, and you can see the smooth pebbles on the bottom of the river.

"Hey Ren Kui. Let's come here to fetch water, not let you sit on the stone to see the water." Under the stone, Li Yun held a small bucket in both hands and shouted at his companion.

Ren Kui glanced down and said lazily: "We are just trying to do work. Could it be that we really expect a group of seven-year-old children to make fire and cook? What else would you do if you want a servant?"

As the largest city connecting to the Southern Wilderness, there are many barbarian slaves in Tianyun City. Their school raises a group of barbarian slaves.

"You," Li Yun said helplessly: "You are too unsociable. Uncle Ren said that letting you study in school is to let you understand interpersonal relationships. If you don't work, how can you get along with those people well?"

"Tsk! What's the use of interpersonal relationships between mortals?" Ren Kui didn't care: "We are destined to enter the path of immortality. We have nothing to talk about with these mortals. It's better to meditate and practice qigong as soon as possible with this skill!"

Since I can remember, Ren Kui has known the difference between himself and others.

He could see scenes that children of his age could not see. The immortal beasts traveling in the clear sky, the ghosts and monsters walking at night, and even the fairy wood monsters on Xinghua Ridge at present...

Ren Kui knew that he was definitely not a person who lived in the world for a long time.

Among the students in the school, only Li Yun and Bai Shou, who also have "spiritual vision", are their companions.

Li Yun: "If you want to say that, you might as well go back and talk to Grandpa Ren Zhao."

Ren Kui shut up immediately.

Under his observation, the practitioners of Yishui are either immortals who have achieved success in their practice or flower spirits who have achieved success in their practice. Only Mr. Ren Zhao is a mortal.

But Ren Zhao is his own family, and in Ren Kui's heart, he is naturally different from other mortals.

When he felt that his family took the initiative to conceal the old man and maintain the worldview of mortals for the old man, Ren Kui also took the initiative to join in and never talked about practice with Ren Zhao.

"Forget it, I won't tell you anymore. We want to get three buckets of water, so I'll leave it to you!"

After saying that, Ren Kui sat on a big stone and meditated and practiced.

Seeing this scene, Li Yun urgently hoped that Bai Shou would come back from the north quickly. Without Bai Shou, he could not handle this little demon star.

Li Yun and the other two grew up together. Li Yun's family was in Tianyun City, and his father, Li Fan, was appointed as the general and was in charge of the place. However, because of the Taoist body, Bai Shou was fostered in Sanshitang since childhood. He grew up with Ren Kui and had the closest relationship.

But Bai Shou is a member of the Bai family after all, and he spends several months every year to visit the three generations of elders. Therefore, when he is not here, he leaves the matter of Gu Renkui to Li Yun.

But no matter how sleek Li Yun is, he is just a seven-year-old child. How can he control this lawless little demon star?

"If you practice here, aren't you afraid that others will see it?"

"Who sees it? And they don't understand." Ren Kui didn't care: "I have to practice quickly and strive to build the foundation earlier so that my second uncle can teach me the real immortal method."

In recent years, Ren Hong has visited Tianyun City with his original appearance and played with Ren Li, whom Lu Qingyuan pretended to be.

How could Bai Shou, Ren Kui and Li Yun see the flaws?

He was cheated by a group of adults.

Ren Hongming showed up with his face, accepted Li Yun's disciples, and asked Bai Shou to inherit his senior brother Ling Shouzi's Taoist tradition. He also persuaded "Ren Li" and sent Ren Kui to another senior brother, Qing Xuan.

Therefore, all the three little ones are Yuqing Taoist dynasty, and Ren Hong left behind a book called "The Twelve Jade Towers and Golden Palace Methods" for them to practice.

This Qi Refining Technique is divided into twelve levels, belonging to the direct martial arts of Yuqing. Six layers of essence refining and six layers of fetal breathing, and its perfect state is foundation building.

Ren Hong promised to the three little ones: the first among the three to build a foundation is to reward a magic weapon. The true practice of entering the Tao must start after building the foundation.

When Li Yun saw Ren Kui start practicing, he had to fetch water and return to the camp by himself.

"Be careful and come here to have a meal early. Although the food here is not suitable for you and me, you must not stop eating. Otherwise, those barbarians should be punished again."

"Don't worry, I understand."

Their school brings together many children of officials and has been spoiled since childhood. Even if they suffer a little grievance in the school, the parents come over and the college director will laugh and apologize. When they turn around, the group of barbarian servants who are neglecting their students will be beaten to death.

Even if the students make mistakes themselves, the only ones who are punished for turning their heads is probably the group of barbarian slaves.

Li Yun took the bucket back and turned back twice. Then he stood in the camp with a group of classmates, directing the barbarian slaves to make a fire and cook.

Seeing those barbarian slaves with a blank expression, Li Yun sighed in his heart.

But he understood that this was not something he could change.

These barbarian slaves looked innocent, but their fathers and ancestors fought with the army of Changwuhou as barbarian soldiers. Many people at Hu Xiao Pass died at their hands. According to his father, he was almost killed by barbarian soldiers several times back then, and his aunt helped him.

There is a deep blood hatred between the barbarians and Hu Xiao Pass. This group of officials' children have been instilled with the idea of ​​"barbarian slaves are not humans" since childhood.

Li Yun could see from a distance that there were two children from the officer's family next to him, scolding a slave who was slow to chop wood.

"No wonder Ren Kui is not willing to come here. These people are indeed not all the people."

However, when these classmates came over, Li Yun immediately changed into a smile. He did not show off his father's authority and faced every classmate with kindness.

The three little girls grew up together, but their tempers were completely different.

Among the three, Bai Shou is the oldest and the most well-behaved and sensible. The children who belong to other people's families are praised by "Ren Li" all day long.

Li Yun is sleek and mature, but he doesn't like to cause trouble the most.

As for Ren Kui, he is the youngest, but he likes to cause trouble the most. Among the three people's practice, he is also the fastest in his practice, and has entered the third level of Yuqing Qi Practice.

Not long after, Ren Kui, who had been operating the three Zhoutian Xuangong, came back on his own.

Looking at the smoke rising from a distance, he curled his lips and said, "It seems that I'm back too early?"

"Since I'm back, sit honestly." Li Yun signaled the servant behind him to take the fruit basket: "When I came out, my mother prepared a lot of fruits and vegetables for me, so you can eat them with me."

Because of their practice, the two of them did not like the food prepared in the school, and there was too little spiritual essence contained in it.

Ren Kui picked up a peach and sniffed it: "Is this the peach in my house?"

"Yes, your property."

The various fruits, fruits, rice and grain produced by Renjia Trading Company contain a little spiritual energy and are suitable for low-level monks to eat. Therefore, Renjia's industry has shifted from mortals to immortals, and has begun to order orders from some nearby practice sects to supply grains, fruits and vegetables.

While the two were talking, two female classmates came to talk to them.

Li Yun has a prominent family background and Ren Kui has a wealthy family. The girls have to be instructed by their elders to establish a good relationship with them.

However, Ren Kui was flirting all day long, and although Li Yun smiled, he also pushed the good intentions of these girls as if he was pushing Tai Chi.

"I said, you smile all day long. Aren't you tired?"

"Of course I'm tired." When facing Ren Kui alone, Li Yun's smile dissipated, showing his true nature: "But this is the case with connections. If you have more friends, you will lose one enemy. I don't ask these friends to be sincere, as long as they don't stab the knife in the back."

"Is it my second uncle who taught you again?"

"My master once took me to the casino to see the adults doing things and thought about it myself."

In his words, Li Yun highly praised his teacher "Ren Hong". Every time Ren Hong meets him, he will teach some life philosophy and deal with people.

Suddenly, Ren Kui stood up and walked towards the two girls who had just talked to him.

"Huh? When did this kid get out of it?" Li Yun was surprised, but saw Ren Kui come back again.

"You're just now..."

"I saw this little demon above Sun Xiaoqing's head, so I caught it directly."

Li Yun glanced over there, because Ren Kui took action to grab Sun Xiaoqing's head, the girl was blushing and was being teased by a group of female classmates.

Unfortunately, this kid's attention is not a girl, but this little earth spirit.

His eyes returned to Ren Kui, who was teasing the yellow bumps in his palm.

There was a shaking feather on the top of the lump, shaking and shaking.

Ren Kui teased him for a few times and sent the little earth spirit aside: "Leave quickly, otherwise don't blame me for being polite!"

The earth essence fell on the ground and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

Looking into the distance, there are countless five-colored monsters in the apricot flower forest, all of which are transformed by the essence of the five elements.

"I think these weird lives are more suitable for me than the intrigue of mortals."

"What are you talking nonsense? We are human race, not natural elves. We cannot give up this interpersonal relationship at will."
