"Ma Lin, I have read these skills and spells, and they can be included in the [Demon Book]. During this time, you should work harder and rewrite these skills and spells in the new ancient demon script."<
/p>
As the sixth day of June approaches, Bai Qi prepares to go to Heishui City to watch the ceremony.
Before leaving, he handed the compiled exercises and techniques to Ma Lin and asked him to re-write them.
Ma Lin is his son, secretary, butler of the cave, and financial manager of Beiluo Mountain. He wears many hats. Fortunately, the other party's main focus is not on cultivation, otherwise he would be exhausted.
Bai Qi then took Zhehua and Youying and led five hundred demon soldiers to Blackwater City.
The sixth day of June.
Early in the morning, King Nanyan led his ministers to Dagushan outside the city to worship heaven.
The memorial text was written by Yuan Yang, the national master, and read out by King Nanyan himself. After the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven, there will be a celebration ceremony, and all the invited guests will be present, which is the so-called "viewing ceremony".
Five hundred demon soldiers were stationed outside the city. Bai Qi, Zhehua and Youying entered the city unhurriedly.
"See you, Your Majesty, please come with me."
As expected, Heishuiqi did not break his promise. He has been waiting outside the city since the ceremony.
As soon as Bai Qi's breath appeared, he rushed forward to greet him.
"Thank you!"
Bai Qi followed Heishuiqi to the inner city, where the celebration ceremony was held.
He also saw the envoys from the Northern Qi Dynasty. Neither Bai Huanghu nor Shui Mulian came, but only a few officials were sent to watch the ceremony.
"The presence of Venerable Bai Qi really adds a lot of color to the whole celebration. Heishui Qi, you go ahead and do your work. I will greet the Venerable."
As the national preceptor, Yuan Yang is responsible for receiving extraordinary people.
He looks high-spirited today, even the folds on his face are smiling.
"Congratulations to the Imperial Master."
Bai Qi responded with a lukewarm attitude.
Yuan Yang didn't mind either, and immediately led him to the left side of the high platform.
In the middle of the high platform sit Hei Shuiying and other royal family members, on the right side sit the important ministers of Nan Yan, and on the left side are the extraordinary people represented by the national preceptor.
Soon, the celebration began, and it was Hei Shuiying and Yuan Yang’s highlight moment.
Bai Qi looked on coldly, seeing something called ambition in their eyes. It seemed that it was difficult for Northern Qi and Nan Yan to live in peace, and it was only a matter of time before a conflict broke out between the two sides.
When the celebration was over, he said goodbye and did not attend the subsequent banquet.
Heishuiqi sent Bai Qi, Youying, and Zhehua out of the city, and gathered five hundred demon soldiers to the top of Xiaogu Mountain.
"Your Majesty, my father and I are deeply honored that you can come to watch the ceremony. Please wait for a moment while I propose a toast to you."
Heishuiqi had already made preparations. After a while, someone brought various dishes and hundreds of jars of old wine.
Bai Qi didn't take it seriously either. Everyone, including the five hundred demon soldiers, sat on the top of the mountain eating and drinking. Although the conditions were not as good as those in the city, the advantage was that they were free and did not have to deal with some annoying faces.<
/p>
"Today I say goodbye to His Holiness, and I will be going back in a few days. I would like to toast you with this glass of wine and wish you all the best."
Hei Shuiqi also didn't like to stay in the city, and Hei Shuiying and Yuan Yang also didn't really want to see him.
Just as Yinmu planned to control Heishuiqi back then, Yuan Yang wanted to support Heishuiqi's younger brother to ascend to power. King Nanyan turned a blind eye and allowed Heishuimen to move thousands of miles away.
"Heishui Qi, the Heishui clan is now at its peak and has just established the Nanyan Kingdom. But you are far away from the center of power. Are you willing?"
Bai Qi took in the other person's expression, raised the wine in his hand, drank it down, and then asked with a smile.
He didn't want to sow discord between Heishuiqi and his son, nor did he want to make fun of the brothers' feud. It was purely out of emotion.
"I have long understood that worldly power and status are all fleeting. I want to pursue the road and live forever, and staying away from the hustle and bustle is the best choice."
Hei Shuiqi could see clearly, and even he himself couldn't tell clearly whether he felt unwilling or unwilling.
Bai Qi nodded and said no more.
After eating and drinking, Bai Qi, Zhehua and Youying led five hundred demon soldiers and left.
Heishuiqi looked at the clouds and mists in the distance and stood there without moving for a long time. He knew that Nan Yan and Northern Qi would collide sooner or later, but he just didn't know whether Dajing Mountain could withstand the sharp edge of Beiluo Mountain.
On the way back, Bai Qi and others first went to Canglang City.
He talked with Bai Huanghu and Shui Mulian for a long time. The specific content of the conversation is unknown to outsiders, but it is obviously related to the newly established "Southern Yan Kingdom".
"Zhehua, you still need to be in charge of the royal city. In addition, these five hundred demon soldiers are also under your command. In five years, Ma Rulong will come to replace you."
Bai Qi still left the folded flowers in Canglang City, and at the same time handed over the five hundred demon soldiers accompanying him.
Zhehua nodded and accepted the order happily.
Then, Bai Qi and Youying returned to Xuanyou Cave in Beiluo Mountain.
Lion Heart is still in charge of the outer courtyard, while Youying is responsible for guarding the cave and continuing to train demon soldiers.
After a period of time, Beiluo Mountain's strength increased again.
You Ying's men gathered two thousand demon soldiers, Lion Heart's men had one thousand demon soldiers, Xiong Li's men had one thousand demon soldiers, and Zhehua's men had one thousand demon soldiers, for a total of five thousand demon soldiers. p>
In addition to Canglang City and Chongyang City, there are also thirty-four demon generals guarding various places in Northern Qi.
Bai Qi did not go out in the cave. Apart from practicing, refining elixirs, and refining weapons, the rest of his time was spent compiling the [Demon Code].
Half a year later.
[Demon Book] The first volume is released.
City of Ten Thousand Demons.
Monsters big and small from all walks of life swarmed in.
[Demon Book] is only available here, and each volume costs one hundred merit points.
Moreover, you must swear a big oath before buying it. The [Demon Code] you buy back cannot be borrowed, copied, or passed on orally.
But even so, they still can't resist the enthusiasm of the demons to buy. This is the first work of the demon clan to systematically explain cultivation. No matter whether everyone's realm is high or low, it can play a guiding role.
The release of [Demon Code] has also brought an additional effect, that is, the number of demons learning new ancient demon texts has greatly increased.
On this day, Bai Qi was refining elixirs in the cave.
Suddenly, there were three hundred wisps of black and yellow energy billowing from the sky, which made him overjoyed.
He currently has one thousand, two hundred and ninety-nine strands of Xuanhuang Qi, which is the richest moment in these years.
"Ma Lin, from now on, the function of exchanging heavenly treasures, rare materials, and precious herbs for merit points will be opened. The external court will first make a preliminary evaluation, and then you will make a final evaluation."
Bai Qi didn't have many missions released for the time being, and the demons were short of merit points, so he thought of a way.
Let the monsters go mining, collect herbs, and find various heavenly materials and earthly treasures in their free time. These things can be exchanged for merit points after evaluation, and more little monsters can afford the [Demon Code]. Then, the whole situation becomes very different.
"Master, you are very thoughtful. If you give it away for free as I said before, I'm afraid it will cause a huge waste. Don't worry, the exchange will never go wrong and it will be fair and just."
Ma Lin was greatly impressed. He was far behind in this aspect.
He then contacted Lion Heart. The entire exchange work was very cumbersome and a practical charter was needed.
Bai Qi never cared about these details and continued to focus on cultivation.
