In the next few days, Lin Xi and the Emperor fell into some kind of stalemate.
The smell of strong confrontation is really obvious.
Thanks to this, many people jumped out to say good things for Lin Xi.
Then I went to Linxi to lobby.
A prime minister who controls a considerable force but is dissatisfied with the emperor can satisfy the political needs of many people.
It is in their interests to lock Lin Xi in Yong'an City and not allow him to return to Shannan Border City to take charge of the overall situation.
The word balance exists in every corner of rights.
The emperor is not the only one qualified to play with balance.
He is just a relatively large weight on the scale.
After four days of stalemate, Lin Xi finally entered the city.
As a compromise, the tigers and leopards grazed in the mountains and forests outside the city without entering the city.
Someone feeds blood food at a fixed time every day.
But the barbarian warriors did not take off their armor or surrender their weapons.
The Prime Minister's Mansion is still there in the city.
Lin Xi heard that the emperor once re-gifted Wen Yuanxiang's old residence in Yong'an City to a close minister who was good at flattering others.
But now, that close minister has been imprisoned for taking bribes, perverting the law, and disregarding human life.
The mansion was empty again, waiting for its former owner to move in again.
In the Prime Minister's Mansion, Lin Xi also met Wen Yuanxiang's family.
The three sons are all just honest people who are not enterprising enough and can barely maintain Chengdu.
There are two other daughters who have already married away.
There were quite a few grandchildren, about twenty in number. Lin Xi couldn't find a complete list of them in Wen Yuanxiang's memory, and then he took his seat according to the number.
It is obvious that this old man who is dedicated to the public and even willing to help the country at the cost of his soul is not very concerned about his own family affairs.
To Lin Xi's relief, Wen Yuanxiang's wife had already gone.
There is no need to worry about the concubines who have already aged and faded. Just ignore them.
Although Lin Xi regained his body, no matter which body he was in, Lin Xi's sword had never been drawn.
But he didn't care about this kind of thing.
Perhaps after he was reincarnated as a demon, this kind of 'distracting thoughts' belonging to the mortal body can no longer affect and interfere with him!
This will make him stronger!
In the study room, Lin Xi was under the lamp, looking at the classics sent from Lantai, as well as some old memorials that had been reviewed and annotated.
Although there is a lot of content in Wen Yuanxiang's memory that can be read.
But after all, he has been away from the center of Da Sui for a while, and his grasp of the current situation is no longer keen.
What's more, those memories are full of Wen Yuanxiang's own understanding.
Lin Xi has long known that the memory of the possessed Soul Reaver is not that reliable.
Crunch!
The study door was gently pushed open.
A girl with an oval face, a chubby face, and two small dimples when she smiled, rolled her big eyes and slipped in lively, carrying a lunch box in her hand.
Seeing the girl's clever behavior, Lin Xi smiled kindly, and then waved: "Is Nuonuo here? Come here!"
The girl is the second daughter of Wen Yuanxiang's eldest son, and of course she can now be regarded as Lin Xi's granddaughter.
Wen Nuo carried the lunch box, as light as a deer, ran to Lin Xi's side, and hugged Lin Xi's neck.
This made Lin Xi feel a little unnatural.
However, the body memory belonging to Wen Yuanxiang is obviously familiar with this kind of contact.
As long as you immerse yourself in Wen Yuanxiang's memory and substitute his emotions, all the awkwardness will disappear.
At the same time, it would also make Lin Xi feel more like a person.
But he also had to remind himself not to indulge in this completely immersive feeling.
What Lin Xi is experiencing is something that all demons cannot understand and perceive.
Generally speaking, demons who have not reached a certain level have no chance to sneak into the material world, let alone escape into the souls of certain people and feel the feelings of 'people'.
As for the demons who have reached the corresponding level, their will and thinking are strong and firm, and they already possess otherworldly power.
Not to be confused by mortal memories.
Blocked by mortal emotions.
"Grandpa! It's great that you can come back!" The girl rested her head on Lin Xi's shoulder charmingly, and her big bright eyes were filled with sadness for a moment.
Lin Xi smiled and said, "Your master, have you come to see you again recently?"
Wen Nuo is the only practitioner in the Wen family.
In the past...she also shouldered the responsibility of protecting Wen Yuanxiang.
Wen Nuo's master is very mysterious. He doesn't seem to be a wandering cultivator, but he comes from a large sect.
This can be seen from the fact that Wennuo never lacks resources for practice.
But for some unknown reason, Wen Nuo's master never brought her into the sect to practice. He only accepted her as a disciple privately and taught her carefully.
The girl nodded and said: "Master has been coming, but the ones who have come recently are only her water spirit clones. I heard from the master that her body is deep in the big cracks of the ancient ice field, looking for Nuo Nuo's magic weapon embryo suitable for foundation building.
.”
Foundation building is a process in which the true energy breaks through to the true essence, and it is also the beginning of truly entering the threshold of cultivation.
In this material world, foundation building is also divided into the most common spiritual energy foundation building, spiritual pill foundation building and spiritual treasure foundation building.
As the name suggests, spiritual energy foundation building is to pour a large amount of spiritual energy into the body, and then use one's own skills to form a strong pressure to liquefy the true energy, transform it from true energy into true essence, and create the foundation for practice.
Almost 90% of practitioners choose this method to build their foundation.
The elixir foundation building will be one level higher, and some elixirs have the power to break the limit.
It can temporarily increase the skill of practitioners who have swallowed the elixir by another 10 to 20%, or even 30 to 40%, simulating an effect that exceeds the general Qi training level, and creating a more perfect Tao foundation.
As for Lingbao foundation building, it is the most luxurious.
It requires monks who are at least the Golden Core stage, use high-quality heavenly materials and earthly treasures, and spend a lot of effort to cast the magic weapon embryo.
Then the magic weapon embryo is implanted into the body of the practitioner who is about to break through Qi training and enter the foundation building.
By allowing the magic weapon and the practitioner's own nascent true energy induction to coordinate and advance each other, not only can higher-quality true energy be obtained, but also practitioners in the foundation-building period can master some extraordinary powers in advance and approach supernatural powers.
You can also borrow the power of magic weapons to attack or defend.
Usually, even in a large sect, an elder with a golden elixir level of cultivation is probably only willing to cast foundation-building magic weapons for descendants with a very close blood relationship, or for disciples of the mantle.
Wen Nuo's master was willing to spend time and energy to do this for her, which was obviously very important to her.
"Speaking of which, it's time for me to break through the foundation building. Although what I want to do now does not rely heavily on the so-called monk's cultivation. But if I have a certain degree of cultivation and some corresponding means,
More reliable and safer. After all...even the barbarians are not completely trustworthy. Even if they were deceived by me at first, they should have realized it now. The reason why they continue to cooperate with me is entirely because, I
It can only continue to bring benefits to them." Lin Xi couldn't help but think of himself at this moment.
His mind has always been clear, and his short-term success has not paralyzed his spirit and made him careless.
He seems to have a lot of leverage.
But the components of the chips in his hand are still too simple.
As long as someone can replace him, gain the support of most barbarians and become a new communication link.
Then he will lose all his 'power' immediately.
This is actually very dangerous.
Therefore, after gaining power in Yong'an City, the first thing Lin Xi should do is not to impatiently fulfill Wen Yuanxiang's wish, but to first obtain "power" through another channel.
After all, walking on two legs is stable.
No matter how strong a leg is, it will inevitably get caught.
"Okay! Remember to learn from your master and don't worry about things at home. Grandpa is at home." Lin Xi touched the girl's head and said.
The girl put down the food box and persuaded Lin Xi to rest early.
Then he disappeared into the study.
When it was late at night, Lin Xi said to Tit, who had been lying in the corner of the study, seemingly sleeping soundly: "Tit! Watch the door, no matter who it is, they are not allowed to come in until I wake up."
"Okay, yeah!" Titmouse did not fall asleep as expected, he just looked like he was asleep.
After giving orders to Titmouse, Lin Xi turned into the inner room.
Then I found a futon and sat cross-legged on it.
A lot of negative emotions were ignited.
A massive amount of evil spiritual energy surged towards Linxi like a tide.
Before making a breakthrough, Lin Xi had to use spiritual energy to strengthen Wen Yuanxiang's physical body for another round.
"It's a pity that the barbarian's cultivation method is not suitable for ordinary people. Otherwise, if I could learn it, Wen Yuanxiang's body would not be so fragile. Every time he improves his cultivation, he must first pay attention not to damage his body.
It's broken." This thought flashed through Lin Xi's mind.
Then Lin Xi paid more attention to letting part of the true energy wrap with spiritual energy to protect the hundreds of meridians in the body.
After feeling that the meridians have been able to withstand the impact of the true energy being compressed into true energy, more Yin evil spiritual energy is introduced into the body.
In an instant, a spiritual gap collapsed above Lin Xi's head.
A large amount of evil spiritual energy was activated, and then a 'tornado' blew up in the body.
In the Dantian, the true energy was agitated, and the manic mood began to rise inexplicably.
However, these manic thoughts were directly digested by Lin Xi's essentially beholder clone.
This is the instinctive feedback caused when the true energy transformed by Yinxie spiritual energy is compressed.
If you absorb the purple air in the morning, or the true energy transformed by the positive spiritual energy, when compressed, it will form more of a warm and gentle meaning.
Under the irrigation of a large amount of evil spiritual energy.
In the Dantian, the first drop of true energy was finally born.
Then there were more and more real energy.
Gradually, a liquid disc with black color and crystal texture formed.
At this moment, the foundation of Lin Xi's cultivation with Wen Yuanxiang's body has been completed.
Although it is the most common spiritual energy foundation, the quality of the Dao foundation is also very average.
After all, given Wen Yuanxiang's qualifications and age, his ability to successfully build a foundation was all thanks to Lin Xi's essential nature.
