In fact, Zeng Yi's strength improvement has been very limited now, but this trip to the northwest has still yielded huge gains. Through Qinglong, Zeng Yi has basically determined his future. Zeng Yi is full of confidence in breaking through to the super-first-class realm.
After leaving the northwest, Zeng Yi sneaked into Xixia alone. Xixia's first-class plan failed one after another, which not only affected Xixia's overall plan, but most importantly, caused Xixia to lose several super-first-class masters several times in a row. This pair of already-super-class masters was not many.
For Xixia, it is undoubtedly adding insult to injury.
This also forced Xixia to think of other ways. The so-called helping first-class masters break through super-class pills was one of their countermeasures. Xixia masters were not unaware that these evil methods were sacrificing their health.
The potential of this person is not unknown, and the side effects are very high, and the success rate is very low, but the gap in the super class is too big, the front line is already stretched, Xixia can only bite the bullet and do this.
When Zeng Yi came to Xixia, he heard the news that Yipintang was collecting heavenly materials and earthly treasures in various places in Xixia, and the collection types were very diverse. Even many players took some medicinal materials and sold them in Xixia.
In order to understand the situation, Zeng Yi even found a ginseng that was several decades old, and ended up exchanging it for hundreds of taels of silver!
"Xixia purchased medicinal materials at a price several levels higher than the market price, and the scale is so large. This is definitely not something that the Xixia family can afford! It seems that Qinglong's guess is good. Xixia is very likely to have shared the secret of the elixir with the four countries.
, it is very possible that the four of them have joined forces to do this!"
The four-nation alliance is what Zeng Yi and Jin Yiwei are most worried about. It is just a Xixia family. Jinyiwei can infer the success rate and cost. They have no way to produce a large amount of such elixirs. But the four-nation alliance is different. Others
Needless to say, the funds must be very sufficient, and there are many first-class masters who can take the elixir. When the four countries gather together, there will definitely be many more successful first-class masters than Jin Yiwei guessed!
Zeng Yi is very familiar with Xingqing Mansion, the Imperial City of Xixia. Nowadays, it is not so easy for people from the Central Plains to enter the Imperial City of Xixia. Fortunately, this matter is not difficult for Zeng Yi, and he still has something in his hands.
It is still very easy to get in and out of the Xixia Imperial City if you have the waist badge of the Princess Palace, and after disguising yourself, you can pretend to be the Princess Palace.
The purpose of this trip was for the elixirs of Xixia. At first, Zeng Yi thought that the place where Xixia studied those elixirs must be at Yipintang Mansion. However, after Zeng Yi wandered around for several days, he discovered that Yipintang
Although there were many people coming and going, they were all First-Pin Hall samurai. No super masters were found, and no other abnormalities were found.
"Isn't it here? Besides Xixia Yipintang Mansion, the safest place should be the imperial palace. Could it be arranged directly in the Xixia Palace?" For this reason, Zeng Yi tried his best and even went to the Xixia Palace.
Entering the Xixia Palace was a waste of Zeng Yi's energy. Now in the Xixia Palace, the people who lead patrols at night are super experts. At that time, Zeng Yi sneaked in and was almost discovered. Fortunately, in the end, he ran to the Xixia Imperial Concubine.
, just escaped a disaster.
It was also from the mouth of the Xixia noble concubine that Zeng Yi learned that there had been no abnormality in the Xixia palace recently. The concubine was now the leader of the Xixia harem. He said there was no abnormality, so it was very likely that nothing happened. To be safe,
Zeng Yi also secretly kidnapped an eunuch.
These guys at the bottom of the palace are the most well-informed. Even if the emperor peed a few times tonight and whether his urine was yellow or not, they would soon know. After hypnosis and questioning, they still found nothing unusual.
"Such an elixir cannot be easily developed!" Zeng Yi is also a miracle doctor with good medical skills. He knows a little bit about elixirs, so medicinal materials cannot be accommodated in a small place.
! "There is no Yipintang, nor the imperial palace! Is it somewhere I can't think of?"
Xingqing Mansion, the imperial city of Xixia, is rectangular, with a circumference of more than 18 miles, a moat ten feet wide, two gates in the north and south, and one gate in the east and west. The roads are in a square shape, the streets are wide, and there are more than 20 neighborhoods such as Chongyi;
The royal handicraft workshops are concentrated in the palace hall of the palace; there are also Chengtian Temple, Gaotai Temple, Jietan Temple, Buddha Temple, etc. in the city. The royal palace gardens in the city occupy a large area, and there is a palace city of a certain size, while ordinary residents
They are densely distributed in dozens of neighborhoods and are all low-rise mud houses or mud-slab houses.
Zeng Yi spent a few days walking around the city, but he couldn't find any abnormalities at all. For this reason, he hypnotized several local snakes who were kidnapped by him for several days!
"These local snakes are the most well-informed. There's no way they don't know about the trouble in their imperial city. It's very likely that the place where the elixir is developed is not in the Xixia Imperial City!"
"If it's not in the imperial city, then where is it?" Zeng Yi, who had no clues, thought for a long time and decided to start with those medicinal materials. He already knew that such an elixir requires a huge amount of medicinal materials. In fact,
Xixia is also collecting medicinal materials. As long as you know where these medicinal materials are finally found, you can know where Xixia refines the elixirs.
After visiting and investigating for several days, Zeng Yi discovered that medicinal materials from all over the country had gathered in a small city a hundred miles west of the imperial city. This small city was garrisoned by tens of thousands of Xixia troops, which obviously exceeded the number of people in this small city.
It is affordable, and there are almost no outsiders in the city, most of them are soldiers.
There must be something wrong with the small town. There is no doubt about it. The small town is only a hundred miles away from the imperial city. The defenders of the imperial city can basically arrive in a day. There is no need for such a defender here. But Zeng Yi had no way to go in to find out, but Zeng Yi secretly
I captured a soldier, hypnotized him, and asked him about some information.
From the soldiers' mouths, we learned that indeed every once in a while, a batch of medicinal materials would gather here from various places. However, after these medicinal materials were gathered in the city, they would be taken away by the people of Yipintang. As for where they went, they did not know where they went.
Know.
"Why would you bring all the medicinal materials here? It makes no sense at all, unless... the place where Xixia refines the elixirs is nearby!"
Zeng Yi explored around the small town. Further west from the small town, there is the Helan Mountains. The Helan Mountains are hundreds of miles long from north to south and dozens of kilometers wide from east to west. The mountains in the southern section are gentle and flat, and the mountains north of San Pass are
The northern section of the mountain is higher, and the main peak is also called Helan Mountain. It is sparsely populated. Zeng Yi was very suspicious that the place where the elixir was refined was in Helan Mountain.
