Three hundred and fortieth chapters one year later
Peaceful days passed quickly.
In the blink of an eye, more than a year has passed since Jing Yan joined Daoyi College.
In this year, Jing Yan's cultivation level has also been steadily improving, gradually reaching the limit of the innate peak, only a thin line away from the Taoist realm.
During this period, Jing Yan basically shuttled between Daoyi College and the Alchemist Association. Occasionally, he would go to the General Manager's Mansion to meet Mu Liantian and Red Lotus College to meet Jing Ziqi.
He also went to see Jing Qingzhu once and gave Jing Qingzhu some resources, asking her to help deliver the resources to the Jing family in Donglin City to help the Jing family improve their strength.
The resources accumulated by Jing Yan have reached a very terrifying figure. Although he consumes a lot in cultivation, the speed at which he accumulates resources far exceeds the speed at which he consumes them.
His alchemy ability has also reached an astonishing level. He has been able to refine first-class third-level elixirs. This also means that he has the title of Alchemy King, third-level alchemy king.
After practicing the Shining Secret Technique to the extreme, Jing Yan exchanged it for another secret technique called 'Void Flame'. The Virtual Flame Secret Technique is more advanced than the Shining Spirit.
The effect of Xuyan is to enhance the power of swordsmanship and martial arts.
Jing Yan's Holy Light Sword Technique has already reached the level of human-level martial arts.
In short, in this year, Jing Yan has made great progress in all aspects. Especially, his own fighting ability.
Although he is still at the peak of the innate realm and has not been promoted to the Taoist realm, his fighting power is no longer comparable to when he was about to fight Shang Qu.
Ordinary warriors at the middle level of Daoling Realm are vulnerable to Jing Yan.
In fact, Jing Yan had reached the limit of his innate peak half a year ago and could try to break through and be promoted. However, he always felt that there was still something missing.
Because of this feeling, Jing Yan has been suppressing his own realm and not trying to break through. If he hadn't deliberately suppressed it, then Jing Yan might have entered the true Taoist realm long ago.
…
"Little friend Jing Yan, I haven't seen you for a while."
In the General Manager's Mansion, Mu Liantian smiled and talked to Jing Yan.
"Not long ago, I came to see you, Mr. Manager, three months ago." Jing Yan said with a smile.
"Haha..." Mu Liantian laughed.
"By the way, there's something I want to tell you." Mu Liantian lowered his voice.
Jing Yan looked at Mu Liantian.
"Donglin City, there have been some problems recently. Huo Chunyang, the lord of Donglin City, seems to have a problem. I got some information. Donglin City seems to be in some chaos now." Mu Liantian said with a serious expression.
"What?" Jing Yan was shocked!
Jing Yan has not seen Huo Chunyang again since he entered Daoyi College. Now when he heard Mu Liantian suddenly mention Huo Chunyang, Jing Yan was indeed a little surprised.
Mu Liantian said, something is wrong with Huo Chunyang? What does this mean?
"Jing Yan, I know you are from Donglin City, and your family is also in Donglin City. That's why I mentioned this matter to you. City Lord Huo Chunyang seems to have disappeared. I don't know the specific situation yet.
Understand, I just want to talk to you first so that you can be prepared." Mu Liantian shook his head lightly.
Jing Yan's eyes narrowed.
Although Mu Liantian didn't go into too much detail, Jing Yan could also imagine that if Huo Chunyang hadn't been in charge of Donglin City, Donglin City would have fallen into chaos. The Jing family in Donglin City was still much worse than the Zhao family. Yes.
With Huo Chunyang here, the Zhao family would not dare to act arrogantly, but if Huo Chunyang disappeared, would the Zhao family still tolerate it?
Moreover, why did Huo Chunyang suddenly disappear? There are also big problems here.
Huo Chunyang's sudden disappearance may have a direct relationship with the Zhao family. Maybe it was the Zhao family who caused trouble.
"Mr. Mu, doesn't Donglin City have a new city lord now?" Jing Yan took a breath and asked.
"There is no new appointment yet. Donglin City is relatively remote, and the news has just come. The specific situation still needs to be understood, so the county prince's palace did not appoint a new city lord immediately. However, the Wen family has been very active recently, and the head of the Wen family
, I have also met with the Lord Prince many times, and seems to want to recommend a candidate for the city master of Donglin City." Mu Liantian said slowly.
Hearing this, Jing Yan sneered in his heart.
Wen family?
The backer behind the Zhao family in Donglin City is the Wen family.
After hearing what Mu Liantian said, Jing Yan felt more and more that Huo Chunyang's disappearance was closely related to the Zhao family and the Wen family.
Ever since Jing Yan killed Zhao Zhenyan, the son of Zhao Dangyuan, the head of the Zhao family, he knew that the Zhao family would never give up. Now it seems that the Zhao family has already taken action.
I'm afraid the Jing family is in a very difficult situation right now.
When Jing Yan left Donglin City, although the Jing family obtained two of the four major cities in Donglin City, the resources they obtained greatly increased. However, the time was still short after all, and the Jing family wanted to surpass the Zhao family.
That cannot be done in one or two years.
Now that Huo Chunyang is missing, why don't the Zhao family take the opportunity to take action against the Jing family?
After bidding farewell to Mu Liantian absentmindedly, Jing Yan left the General Manager's Mansion. He did not return to Daoyi Academy, but rushed directly to Donglin City.
With Jing Yan's current cultivation level, using the wings of the sky that has reached the second level, the time it takes to travel from Lanqu County City to Donglin City will not be much slower than taking the Tianyan Car.
More than half a month later, Jing Yan arrived outside Donglin City.
He put on a bamboo hat, hid his face, and entered Donglin City.
Jing Yan did not return directly to the Jing family residence, but went to Fangshi, Nan District. His brilliant alchemy building was located in Fangshi, Nan District.
Outside the Brilliant Alchemy Tower, Jing Yan, wearing a bamboo hat, stood still.
It is noon now. Under normal circumstances, it should be the best time for business at Huihuang Dan Tower. But now, the door of Hui Hui Dan Tower is closed and there is no sign of business at all.
On the street outside, some warriors in uniforms passed by from time to time. Jing Yan discovered that these warriors in uniforms were not the guards of the Jing family, but the guards of the Zhao family.
"It looks like something really went wrong." Jing Yan narrowed his eyes.
Fang City in the Southern District is now the property of the Jing family, and the guards patrolling the streets should be Jing family guards. However, the Zhao family guards are now all over the streets, and there are no Jing family guards at all.
shadow.
However, seeing that the name of Brilliant Dan Tower was still there, Jing Yan felt a little relieved. Things seemed to have not gotten out of hand yet, otherwise Brilliant Dan Tower would have been reduced to ruins by now.
The person that the Zhao family hates the most is Jing Yan. The Brilliant Pill Tower is his property, and the Zhao family knows it very well. If a war breaks out between the Zhao family and the Jing family, the Zhao family should be the first to destroy the Brilliant Pill.
Lou Jiehen is the right person. The Brilliant Pill Tower is still there, which at least means that the two big families, the Zhao family and the Jing family, have not yet fully opened their websites!
