Chapter 92: Grasp with both hands (4400 extra updates, please subscribe and vote monthly)
In the spring of the sixteenth year of Emperor Wu.
Emperor Wu had great talents and broad strategies, used wise officials, and handled state affairs cautiously. As time went by, the national power of the Great Zhou Dynasty became more and more prosperous.
However, the emperor of the Xichun Kingdom, who had lost his country, stayed in his life and watched the prosperity of the Zhou Dynasty in the past few years. He became more and more depressed, and finally fell seriously ill. Even the imperial doctors were unable to save his life, and he died in the end.
However, the people of Xichun Kingdom have long forgotten the hatred between the country and the family. After all, the people have lived and worked in peace and contentment in recent years, and many people have even begun to be proud of their status as citizens of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Emperor Wu of the Great Zhou Dynasty had great talents and great strategies, and the development of the Great Zhou Dynasty was extremely smooth. After General Zhou Piliang destroyed the Xichun Kingdom, he had been idle in Beijing for four years.
But Emperor Wu of Zhou was still very kind to him, and never cared about the idea that his superior achievements overshadowed his master's. Emperor Wu of Zhou even directly threatened: "The territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty does not stop here. I have such a right-hand man, so why worry about failing to achieve a great cause?"
There were also people who had impure thoughts and yin and yang spirits and attacked Zhou Piliang. Emperor Wu laughed and scolded Zhou Piliang directly in the court.
"You martial artist, just stay in Kyoto and don't try to hide your clumsiness. I am not an incompetent and foolish king. Remember to polish your sword from time to time. I am just waiting for the time to draw the sword again."
As soon as these words came out, the generals and nobles became more and more excited. The implication of Emperor Wu's words could not be more obvious. He was not satisfied with his current country. Emperor Wu's move was so heroic and worthy of the mind of a holy king.
But while everyone in the Great Zhou Dynasty was united and the domestic development was booming, Liang Sheng was still worried about refining the Qi Lian Dan.
On the outskirts of Kyoto, in the mountains and forests twenty miles away from Zhouzhuang.
At this moment, Liang Sheng carefully performed the last trick, and then stared at the alchemy furnace in front of him, feeling a little excited in his heart.
The next moment, the alchemy furnace was opened, and the fragrance overflowed.
Qi training pill is finally done!
After five years, Liang Sheng finally refined the first batch of Qi training pills in his life. Although the success rate of refining Qi training pills is still less than one tenth, and it takes ten times to refine the Qi training pills, it will be successful once.
Second, will the next time the elixir is achieved be far away?
However, when Liang Sheng looked at the Qi Training Pill he had refined, he did not choose to take it directly. Instead, he followed the old rules and found a death row prisoner.
Liang Sheng stared closely at the condemned prisoner in front of him. He had previously taken the Qi Training Pill under his pressure. The next moment, the condemned prisoner's eyes suddenly widened, and then he sat cross-legged on the ground and moved around.
The executioner's cultivation level was only at the sixth level of acquired life, but this time the circulation in his body was getting faster and faster, and the next moment his breath suddenly rose!
The bottleneck of reaching the top level of martial arts at the sixth level was instantly broken by the impact of the Qi Lian Dan. The Qi Lian Dan was indeed a higher level of power.
However, the power in the condemned prisoner's body has not been exhausted. He is still cultivating at this moment until his realm breaks through to the acquired eighth level and stabilizes.
When he opened his eyes, he looked at his body in disbelief, but just one pill actually allowed him to break through to the eighth level of the acquired realm.
If he knew Liang Sheng's opinion, he would probably be even more shocked. In fact, the death row prisoner only absorbed less than 40% of the Qi Lian Dan's medicinal effect, and all other medicinal effects were wasted.
But even so, the Qi Training Pill refined by Liang Sheng still allowed the death row inmate to break through from the acquired sixth level to the acquired eighth level. However, after being excited, the death row inmate became more and more frightened when he looked at Liang Sheng. Who is this mysterious old man in front of him?
Three days later, when he saw that the condemned prisoner was still alive and kicking without any accidents, Liang Sheng felt relieved and sent him to a blissful life under the eyes of the condemned prisoner in disbelief.
Liang Sheng did not hesitate this time and took the Qi Training Pill he had refined in the quiet room. Half an hour later, he opened his eyes, looking happy but helpless.
I was happy that the Qi Training Pill I refined was indeed effective, but unfortunately it was not 70% as effective as the Qi Training Pill Zhou Yun brought back before.
I just don’t know if this is a matter of materials or his own refining, but in the end it’s still a happy event.
From then on, Liang Sheng's life became more regular, practicing, drawing talismans, refining elixirs, and practicing the art of curse seals. Occasionally, when he was in a restless mood, he would listen to music and cultivate his sentiments.
Emperor Wu's seventeenth year.
Zhou Hua died at home, and Liang Sheng gave him a grand burial. After all, he deserved such treatment.
After that, Liang Sheng also gradually reduced the number of times he went out. The house of the ancestor of Zhouzhuang was still the place where the Zhou family's descendants worshiped most enthusiastically. However, no one knew that because of Zhou Hua's death, Liang Sheng personally guarded Xiguguan.
The national power of the Great Zhou Dynasty was still rising steadily, but Emperor Wu was slow to issue orders to conquer other countries because Liang Sheng had not yet given him a signal.
Liang Sheng also visited the palace several times on the way. Emperor Wu did not act rashly because he did not have clear instructions.
Even though Emperor Wu was heroic, the cautious character of the Zhou family still made Emperor Wu decide to wait until Liang Sheng made up his mind.
The more powerful he became, the more Emperor Zhou Wu understood how terrifying his ancestor was, and he vaguely felt that his ancestor might be a god-like figure, otherwise why would he have lived so long to this day?
The Zhou royal family, who was unaware of the existence of the Huatian Sect, could only guess at the identity of their ancestors. Before the Zhou family ascended the throne, Liang Sheng's method of dividing the Zhou family into two completely separated the Zhou family's imperial power from the Immortal Sect.
.
However, Liang Sheng also thought that when he was capable, he would naturally compensate the Zhou family. Although the Zhou family had reached the top of the world at this time, Liang Sheng had his own way of dealing with it.
.
Liang Sheng did not allow Emperor Wu to conquer other countries at this time. In fact, he was waiting for Zhou Yun to return. What Zhou Yun could bring back this time would determine the scale of his future plans.
Originally, Liang Sheng had to wait until he and Zhou Yun agreed to meet Emperor Wu twenty years later, but Zhou Yun showed up in advance, and Liang Sheng discovered him immediately at Xiguguan.
However, Liang Sheng did not appear at the first time. He still waited for a while and confirmed that no one was following Zhou Yun before he appeared to meet Zhou Yun.
At this time, Zhou Yun was already dying and his life was approaching. That was why he suddenly appeared at Xiguguan in advance. When he saw Liang Sheng, Zhou Yun was pleasantly surprised. This time he brought much more things than before.
.
In seven years, as the fortune of the dynasty enshrined by Great Zhou increased, the Great Elder of the Weapon Refining Peak also successfully mastered the spiritual weapon. As a result, Chen Fengchen was appreciated by the Great Elder and became a true disciple, and Zhou Yun's status naturally increased.
The stewards of Huatian Sect in Fangshi were more and more polite to him. After all, Zhou Yun's life was approaching, and he would not offend him if he could.
However, Zhou Yun has not been able to successfully practice Qi for a long time, which makes people puzzled and can only lament in his heart. After all, he is not blessed enough.
After Zhou Yun came out, he had accumulated a lot of Qi training pills. After all, the more luck the Zhou Dynasty had, the more things he would get from it.
He even mastered the art of refining weapons. Although it was at an average level, it was still many times higher than Taizu Dayan's half-assed level.
And Zhou Yun also sold all the talismans that Liang Sheng had drawn for himself in exchange for a lot of weapon refining materials. After all, spiritual power is thinner in the secular world. It is not like the possibility of Qi training pills and spiritual grass appearing. It is indeed necessary to refining weapons.
More spiritual material, nothing else.
Speaking of this, Zhou Yun couldn't help but feel a little guilty, but Liang Sheng already knew that he had done a good enough job. Zhou Yun felt slightly relieved after hearing about Liang Sheng's safety.
However, he was still a little sad when he heard the news that Zhou Hua had passed away, but he didn't say much. Birth, old age, illness and death are all human nature.
In the eighteenth year of Emperor Wu's reign, Zhou Yun also died in Zhouzhuang. Liang Sheng arranged for him to be buried together with Zhou Hua, which fulfilled the last wishes of the two brothers.
Based on Zhou Yun's information, Liang Sheng also temporarily stopped his plan to continue testing the world of immortality, because he already had enough on him at this time, and sending people to the world of immortality at this time would not be of much benefit.
From then on, his life became more regular, practicing, drawing talismans, refining elixirs, practicing curse seal techniques, and honing the weapon refining techniques brought by Zhou Yun, so he spent a lot less time for recreation.
No wonder those casual cultivators in Xiuxianjiefang City are in a hurry every day and have no desire for the secular world. After all, how can they have other thoughts when they are so busy.
I can only say that the road to immortality is extremely difficult.
Liang Sheng originally thought that he would tolerate it for a while, at least until the time when he would contact the world of immortality a hundred years ago, but accidents would always come.
Because he couldn't find the magic grass to make alchemy.
In the 20th year of Emperor Wu's reign, all the spiritual herbs capable of refining Qi-refining pills in the Great Zhou Dynasty, including the Xichun Kingdom, were exhausted. No matter how hard Liang Sheng asked the Great Zhou to issue orders to search for them, they were almost never found again.
However, thinking about it carefully, Liang Sheng felt a little relieved. The spiritual energy in the secular world is inherently thinner than that in the world of immortality. It is naturally much more difficult for these spiritual herbs to be born than in the world of immortality.
In addition, Liang Sheng has spent so many years honing his alchemy skills, how can the secular spiritual herbs withstand his consumption?
At this time, Liang Sheng was already used to the days of Qi Dan assisting his practice. How could he go back to the hard days of the past?
So in the 20th year of Emperor Wu's reign, Emperor Wu suddenly ordered to summon Zhou Piliang in the Kyoto court, and then with an imperial edict, the world was shocked.
The Great Zhou Dynasty conquered the East Japan Kingdom!
As soon as this news came out, no one questioned Emperor Wu of Zhou. They had already placed their utmost trust in Emperor Wu, and for a time the entire state machine of Zhou Dynasty was in full operation.
Zhou Piliang once again carried the Emperor's Sword and personally led an army to conquer the East Japan Kingdom.
And Liang Sheng also reopened the passage to Xiuxian Jiefang City. He could not waste the time of conquering Dongri Kingdom. He also needed to continue refining elixirs and refining weapons with both hands, so as not to waste any opportunities.
He reunited two old people from the Zhou family. Zhou Nan and Zhou Chi were both slow in cultivation, but they had also been brainwashed since childhood and were extremely fanatical about Liang Sheng and the family.
After they received Liang Sheng's face-to-face instructions, they immediately headed to Xiguguan with a black iron order.
Zhou Nan was born with one meridian missing and his cultivation speed was extremely slow, so he took over Zhou Yun's previous job.
Zhou Chi, on the other hand, lives in a small town under Xiguguan. As Zhou Nan's support, Liang Sheng, of course, did not trust them to go alone and hid in secret to observe, but he thought they would not have any problems.
After all, the secular world has nothing to offer to the world of immortality except dynasty luck. Who would look at the secular world while they are busy cultivating immortals?
Three days after Zhou Nan entered the Immortal Realm City, he reappeared in the secular world. This was a previous agreement between him and Zhou Chi.
Liang Sheng, who was not far away, breathed a sigh of relief when he saw him. Zhou Chi had been waiting at Xiguguan for the past few days, but it was only ten miles away from the cave.
After Zhou Nan and Zhou Chi met up, Liang Sheng still stayed in the thick fog of the cave. When he saw that no one else appeared, he was completely relieved.
It's not that he doesn't worry about Zhou Nan, after all, the Zhou family's bloodline is extremely magical, seeking good fortune and avoiding disaster. Until now, Liang Sheng didn't know why the Zhou family had such ability.
But this was a good thing after all, and Zhou Nan and Zhou Chi had already completed the handover, but they still followed Liang Sheng's previous advice and stayed for a full hour and a half before Zhou Nan returned to Xiuxian Jiefang City.
When Zhou Chi saw Liang Sheng, he told him about Zhou Nan's situation, and Liang Sheng gave him a package and asked him to continue waiting at Xiguguan.
As expected, Hua Tianzong did not change his attitude because the Zhou family changed its members. After all, the dynasty's luck supplied by the Zhou family was much more than before.
Except for the great elder of the Weapon Refining Peak who succeeded in refining the spiritual weapon, the success rate of the Huatian Sect's magical weapon is much higher than before.
Even the city manager even told Zhou Nan that the Zhou family could send a few more people over, which shows how satisfied Huatian Sect is with Zhou Nan now.
Moreover, the steward also vaguely reminded that the Zhou family could send more young disciples over, so that the probability of success in cultivating immortals would be higher, but these were all resolved by Zhou Nan one by one.
Liang Sheng was naturally prepared for this situation, and Zhou Nan's rhetoric was also very simple. All the outstanding children of the Zhou family are fighting for the country at the moment, determined to provide more dynasty luck, so they are unable to enter Fang City, and they are unwilling to enter Fang City.
city.
They always believe that this is just a temporary sacrifice, and when they provide enough dynasty luck, the sect's rewards will be more generous.
When the time comes, the Zhou family wants to directly ask the sect for a place as an inner disciple, instead of hiding in the city like they do now.
When the steward heard this, he was naturally filled with admiration, because this was indeed the best way, and his vision was not as good as that of ordinary mortals. I can only say that this family is worthy of being able to conquer the secular world. It is really far-sighted.
After listening to Zhou Nan's words, the steward also valued Zhou Nan more and more. After all, the Zhou family might really be able to get an inner disciple in the future?
So what he is doing now is also an investment, and he also expresses his understanding of Zhou Yun and Zhou Nan, the two candidates sent to Fangshi by the Zhou family.
Because the outstanding disciples of the Zhou family are all fighting in the family, these "waste people" can indeed play their greatest role in Fangshi. After all, who dares to have evil thoughts about the people of the three sects and six sects?
Then using the background of Huatian Sect, Zhou Nan was like a fish in water in the market, and through his bloodline ability of seeking good luck and avoiding bad luck, he developed a safe black-box trading. As long as he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, he would not continue trading.
In this way, he secretly sold a lot of talismans in exchange for spiritual herbs for Qi training pills and some weapon refining materials. No one in the market knew that he was actually the largest supplier of talismans recently.
After all, who would pay attention to a little person with a background who cannot cultivate immortality?
…
In the secular world.
Liang Sheng relied on Zhou Nan's activities in Xiuxian Jiefang City to reluctantly continue the high-intensity alchemy and weapon refining experiments, and Zhou's conquest of Dongri Kingdom went extremely smoothly.
Three years later, in the 23rd year of Emperor Wu's reign, the Kingdom of Dongri was completely integrated into the territory of the Great Zhou Kingdom, and the Great Zhou Dynasty once again rested and recuperated just like it did after conquering the Kingdom of Xichun.
The most frightening thing is that this time Emperor Wu of the Zhou Dynasty sent the mighty king of the Dongri Kingdom, who was still the innate master. This move can be said to have completely extinguished the remaining powerful people in the Dongri Kingdom.
After that, the fate of the Zhou dynasty became more and more terrible. Hua Tianzong became more and more satisfied with Zhou, and the city officials were naturally more polite to Zhou Nan.
After King Wei arrived in Dongri Kingdom, the first thing he did was to look for specific medicinal herbs. Of course, the local old ministers rushed to find them.
In this way, Liang Sheng's life was peaceful again. At this time, his alchemy skills were getting better and better. The success rate of alchemy was already one-fifth, which can be said to be a great improvement. As for the weapon refining, he also made something like Great Yan Taizu.
Half magic weapon.
Moreover, Liang Sheng also began to try to grow spiritual grass. He didn't care how low the harvest efficiency was, as long as he could replenish some.
From then on, living like this, it was the thirty years of Emperor Wu's reign in the blink of an eye.
This year, something unexpected happened.
