From martial arts apprentice to Dagan martial artist

Chapter 394 Returning to Sifang City

In the early morning, the sky was slightly bright, and the whole god seemed to be in a deep sleep.

Except for the people responsible for cleaning and the vendors selling breakfast in various squares and cities, the vast majority of people are still asleep.

However, Li Yi has already woken up. His cultivation base has improved and his speed of refining treasures is much faster than before. According to the current progress, he estimates that he will be able to forge a middle-grade treasure in two or three days.

However, he didn't forge treasures that day, he changed into court clothes early and prepared to go to court.

Even if he doesn't announce his reward, today is the day when all the officials go to court. Since he is in the capital and has officials, he must go to court.

What's more, today he has to announce his reward, so he has to say whatever he wants.

Putting on the court uniform and crown, Li Yi walked out of his mansion and walked towards Miyagi with big strides.

"Uncle Wei."

Seeing Wei Jinzhong, Li Yi smiled and walked up to say hello.

"The Xuanyu Spirit Peach you asked me to sell for you has already sold eight of them, and there are about 25 primordial stones. I'll have someone deliver them to your house later on."

Wei Jinzhong spoke softly.

Li Yi asked him to sell the mysterious medicine, as long as he took it out, he would quickly find a buyer.

And the price will become more expensive as the time goes on, because there are very few mysterious medicines that can really prolong life.

The first two are the ones he took the initiative to find someone to sell, and the latter ones are the ones that others try their best to find connections and favors to buy from him.

During this period of time, Wei Jinzhong had earned enough of the limelight, and many princes came to visit him in person, just wanting to ask for a life-prolonging mysterious medicine.

"The treasure I got for you has already taken shape, and it should be ready in a few days."

Li Yi also spoke in a low voice, and the two chatted all the way, walking towards the palace city.

Many people saluted Li Yi one after another on the road, some were of lower status than him, but some were of higher status than him.

Li Yi didn't cover up the fact that he broke through the cultivation base of Faxiang, and the news had spread during this period of time.

Although it has not been announced to the world, most people with higher status already know it.

But regardless of their status, they saluted Li Yi one after another.

Li Yi's current status may not be as high as theirs, but his strength is strong enough.

Those who have achieved martial arts all the way are the first, and Li Yi is strong enough, so he can naturally gain their respect.

These people bowed to him and Li Yi bowed his hands in return.

All the officials walked all the way to the White Marble Square, and everyone paused for a while. After the Kaiyang bell rang nine times in a row, everyone entered the hall to pay respects.

Civil and military officials lined up on both sides, and Li Yi also stood beside Wei Jinzhong.

From the point of view of the Department of Supervision, there is no difference between his rank and Wei Jinzhong's.

So he was tied with Wei Jinzhong and another Wang Laosi.

"I have waited to meet His Majesty!"

All civil and military officials shouted in unison, but there was no such thing as long live.

Even if it is a strong fortune, it can only live to a thousand years.

So no one dares to proclaim long live.

All civil and military officials bowed to salute, but Li Yi just bowed his hands.

A look of puzzlement flashed in the eyes of some officials with lower ranks, but those with higher ranks didn't feel that there was anything wrong.

They already knew Li Yi's strength, and with his strength, it was enough not to worship him.

"Everyone loves to be flat!"

Emperor Taiping's face was indifferent, with a hint of a smile.

He waved his hand lightly, and immediately a palace official came to read the will.

"Li Yi, the Marquis of Mianlong County, was promoted to Minister of Law, made Zhao Guogong, and added 20 stones in food salary! The official promotion is one rank! Reward the middle-rank blessed land, a Xuanyuan Baimai Mountain!"

After the award was announced, all civil and military officials were shocked.

This reward is really too rich.

Not only was Li Yi granted the Duke of the State, but he was also awarded a middle-grade blessed land.

Among the blessed land, the cave and the sky, according to the degree of accumulation of the vitality of the heaven and the earth, it is natural to distinguish the upper, middle and lower grades.

But even if it is a low-grade blessed land, there are still not a few primordial stones produced every year.

A middle-grade blessed land is already an extremely generous reward.

Not to mention, he also holds the position of Duke.

This reward is not insignificant.

Prior to this, many officials guessed that Li Yi's reward was the Duke of the county.

After all, he is already a strong man of law and a magistrate of the county, and if he goes up, he can only be named Duke of the county.

It is impossible to go to the county government again, although the probability of this is very low.

But all the officials did not expect that it would be a rich place like Zhao State to confer the title of Duke at one time.

Although the Duke of Daqian does not have the right to govern and govern the fief, he can be a Duke in his own fief and still have considerable power.

Li Yi has the position of Zhao Guogong, so long as he thinks about it, he can easily acquire countless fertile land assets in Zhao Guo.

Zhao State is located in Yanzhou, which was a vassal state in ancient times.

It is also the state capital of Yanzhou, and it can definitely be called a prosperous place.

As for Xuanyuan Baimai Mountain, it is within the territory of Shanzhou, where many mountain ranges gather, and it is a natural blessed place.

After many years of construction by the Daqian court, it is quite extraordinary now.

But Baiguan has no objection to this, because Li Yi has not been promoted.

So he was awarded the title of title, gave him a middle-rank blessed land, and was promoted to a first-rank official to become a second-rank official, but his official position was not transferred.

Therefore, the civil and military officials have no opinion on this.

"Sir, thank you, Your Majesty!"

Li Yi cupped his hands and saluted to thank him.

After announcing his reward, another decree was read out.

"The celebration of Zhao Guogong and Li Yi's promotion to Faxiang is an important matter for me, and I ordered the Ministry of Rites to handle it."

The Minister of Rites immediately stood up to receive the order.

He patted his chest and said that he would definitely hold this celebration well.

Next came the daily discussions of the officials. It was not until around noon that the court meeting ended, and the civil and military officials also left silently.

"Li Aiqing, don't leave, I have something to discuss with you."

When Li Yi was about to leave, he was stopped by Emperor Taiping.

He looked curious, but still stopped in his tracks.

If all the officials left one after another, he didn't stay in the main hall too long, and followed Emperor Taiping to another side hall behind the main hall.

"The suzerain of Yunya Jiange has also advanced to the realm of Faxiang, do you know this?"

Emperor Taiping asked softly, but judging from his expression, he seemed to be able to guess Li Yi's answer.

He had heard from Li Yi long ago that he had an excellent relationship with the suzerain of Yunya Jiange.

"Return to Your Majesty, I have known this news for a long time."

Li Yi replied with a smile.

"The suzerain of the Yunya Sword Pavilion has been promoted to the realm of Dharma Aspect and held a Dharma Aspect celebration. Naturally, I will send people to attend.

Since you have a good relationship with him, how about taking a trip? "

He smiled and sat on the chair beside him, while reaching out to beckon someone to prepare a stool for Li Yi.

"The minister takes orders." Li Yi cupped his hands.

As far as he is concerned, there is naturally no reason to refuse.

Dagan not only sent people to attend the ceremony, but more importantly, he also sent countless gifts and certain benefits to Yunya Jiange.

Only in this way can it be won over, and it is guaranteed that the largest sect in Hongzhou will not fall to the big win.

Hongzhou was originally the border of Dagan, and Yunya Jiange, as the largest sect in the area, had no Dharma-aspect expert, it was okay, as long as one Dharma-aspect expert was dispatched, it was enough to guard it.

Now Yunya Jiange also has a strong man of law. If he is drawn over by Daying, even if Dagan can barely hold Hongzhou, the price he has to pay is probably much higher than now.

So no matter what, we must draw Yunya Jiange over, even if we don't let his heart turn to Daqian, we must never let him turn to Daying.

"When you go this time, you can tell the suzerain of the Yunya Jiange that as long as they are still willing to be the sect under my leadership, I will never treat them badly."

Emperor Taiping laughed and confessed.

As long as Yunya Jiange doesn't fall to the big win, it's worth paying even a little price.

"I understand."

Li Yi nodded in response.

Of course, he doesn't need to discuss the specific situation. Naturally, someone will discuss with Yunya Jiange.

His existence is like a bridge, ensuring that the two sides can trust each other and communicate peacefully.

Without him, the two parties would not be able to trust each other, and the talks would take a long time.

"Come, play two games of chess with me. My chess skills have improved recently."

After discussing the matter with Li Yi, Emperor Taiping waved his hand again, and the palace servants in charge outside the palace came in.

"If I win against you, I can go out and say that I have won against a powerful person in the future."

Emperor Taiping looked very happy.

The two played chess for a long time, winning and losing each other.

Emperor Taiping stayed Li Yi again and had lunch in the palace.

After lunch, Li Yi left Miyagi.

Back home, Qian Jiu hurried over.Handed Li Yi more than ten storage treasure rings, each of which was filled with primordial stones.

Adding up to a total of 25 yuan, Li Yi put away the Yuanshi.

The storage treasure ring was sent back to Wei Jinzhong's residence.

With this primordial stone, he has taken another big step towards the next simulation.

In the next few days, Li Yi continued to refine treasures every day, and Wei Jinzhong sent someone to send him another 6 yuan stone.

Three days passed in a flash, and Li Yi finally finished refining the middle-grade treasure.

With his current attainments in refining, it is not difficult to refine a middle-grade treasure.

Holding the well-refined treasure, Li Yi went straight to the Supervision Department.

In the Supervisory Department, Wei Jinzhong skillfully handles various affairs and reads a lot of information.

Li Yi stepped into the small courtyard, and Wei Jinzhong felt this in his heart. Looking outside, Li Yizheng was walking towards him in dragon-like and tiger-like steps, holding a red sword in his hand.

The precious sword is shining with red flames, dazzling and dazzling.

Wei Jinzhong's calm heart instantly became hot, and he quickly got up to greet him.

"My nephew is here!"

He greeted Li Yi, but his eyes were all on the knife.

Li Yi didn't play tricks with him, he directly raised the sword in his hand, and introduced it very carefully.

"This knife can hide the fire of heaven and earth, and the fire of the five elements invades the enemy's body when it is shot, burning the internal organs of the enemy.

It can also gather the power of heaven and earth to form a fire prison, which is used to control and block enemies.

And put a little Taiyuan Lingjin, its sharpness is enough to cut through the body-protecting qi of the innate seventh-level warrior.

It is more in line with the exercises you practice, and the power is doubled when you use it. "

With slightly trembling hands, Wei Jinzhong held the treasured saber and stared at it carefully.

It seems to see through every line of heaven and earth on the Tao.

It took a long time before he opened his mouth and said, "Good knife, do you have a name?"

"Not yet, Uncle Wei, think about one."

Li Yi smiled lightly.

"In that case, let's call you Chi Yan."

Wei Jinzhong stared at the Red Flame Knife, and he seemed to be able to sense that this treasure was responding to him.

Of course this is an absolute illusion.

"Let me refine this treasure for you."

Li Yi opened his mouth, and immediately began to use his inner energy to help Wei Jinzhong refine this treasure.

In just a few moments, this treasure was fully grasped by him, and he could use it as he wished.

Treasures contain the laws of heaven and earth, which can greatly increase the combat power of warriors.

Wei Jinzhong has always wanted to get one, but now he not only got it, but also a middle-grade treasure.

It can't help but make him feel refreshed and extremely happy.

He walked out of the courtyard with a treasured sword in his hand, shaking the power of the world and setting off waves of heat, this is because he controlled his own power.

If not, with his strength, using this knife can easily turn hundreds of miles into a sea of ​​flames.

Sensing the fluctuation of vitality, many innate powerhouses in the Supervision Department looked sideways.

After seeing the precious sword in Wei Jinzhong's hand, he couldn't help showing envious eyes.

Wei Jinzhong didn't make any more moves, his mind circulated and put the treasured sword into his dantian.

He turned back to the small courtyard again, and with a wave of his hand, he gave Li Yi the treasure boat in the house.

He loved this treasure ship very much before, it was because he didn't have his own treasure, but now that he has his own treasure, this treasure ship is not so precious in his eyes.

Even the best things are meaningless if they are not your own. It is better to care more about your precious sword.

Li Yi took the treasure boat and nodded lightly, greeted him, and left quickly.

When he got home, he immediately asked Qian Jiu to find those officials from the Ministry of Rites.

Yun Lichen's Faxiang celebration will be held in July. After all, there are many people who need to be notified. The major forces are scattered all over the world. As long as they are righteous, even if they have no friendship with Yunya Jiange itself, they should be invited according to the rules.

I will go to Yunya Jiange on behalf of Dagan at that time. As for my Dharma celebration, it will be held in mid-July, a little later than Yun Lichen.

So I am still very free now, and I can take advantage of this time to solve some of my own affairs.

Although he said that the wedding will not be held now, the preparations for the ceremony must start now.

In addition, I have to go to see Wei Ning, and later I have to go to Yun Lichen to go to the ancestral temple with her, these things need to be resolved one by one.

Qian Jiu moved very quickly, and quickly found the three officials from the Ministry of Rites who were unemployed at home.

Along with these three officials from the Ministry of Rites, there were 30 other people, most of whom were also officials from the Ministry of Rites, but they were of lower rank.

Those who are not officials of the Ministry of Rites are also old officials who deal with the affairs of the Ministry of Rites all the year round, so they naturally deal with this kind of etiquette.

"I have met Li Guogong!"

Everyone bowed to salute when they saw Li Yi.

Li Yi is now the Duke of the State. When others address him, he can be called the Duke of Zhao by his surname.

"Everyone, please get up, I will trouble you with my wedding ceremony."

He laughed and lifted everyone up with a shock of inner energy.

"Go back and get Lingmi, and give a stone to each of the adults' houses."

Li Yi turned his head and explained to Qian Jiu who was on the side.

Although they had already given Yuanshi gifts before, before these people could help, they still needed to give some gifts according to the rules.

For ordinary people, give more rice, meat and wine noodles.

In Li Yi's capacity, it would be most appropriate to give some Lingmi.

Now he eats as much as 25 shi every year, except for a part of which is given out as spiritual rice, the rest is directly converted into primordial stones.

"Little man understands!"

Qian Jiuju bowed and left in a hurry.

"I thank Li Guogong!" Everyone thanked again.

Li Yi took out the star spirit boat from his dantian, and the spirit boat was good at facing the wind.

Soon it turned into a large ship with a width of tens of feet and a length of hundreds of feet. The treasure ship evolved a passage leading directly to the deck.

"I also invite you to come aboard with me."

He boarded the treasure ship and greeted everyone.

Although many officials of the Ministry of Rituals are not high in cultivation, they have been undertaking etiquette all year round, and naturally they have seen a lot of various scenes.

Therefore, although he was looking at the entire treasure ship curiously, he was not too surprised.

As everyone boarded the boat one after another, with a thought in Li Yi's mind, the star spirit boat turned into a beam of precious light and rushed straight into the distance.

The treasure ship sailed at an extremely fast speed, but deep inside the ship did not feel the slightest jolt and was very stable.

Surrounded by countless stars, it offsets all external forces.

The capital of God is extremely far away from Sifang City, but with the speed of the star spirit boat, it didn't take long.

Li Yi arrived at Sifang City with a group of people. Before entering the city, Li Yi could feel the new look of Sifang City just by looking at it from a distance.

The originally dilapidated and old city walls have been repaired again, and the environment inside the city has also been greatly improved.

Originally, there were still many dirt paths in the city, and when it rained, the ground was muddy.

Today, these dirt paths are paved with solid and thick bluestone slabs.

The life of the people is also far richer than before. After all, the previous Sifang City had to support the five major families in the city. No matter how hard the people worked, most of the fruits of their labor would still be usurped by the five major families.

And four of the five major families were wiped out, and the Shen family's business focus has long been on the Mianlong River.

Although the Wuhumen have many disciples, they are far from being comparable to the four major families.

Li Yi does have a lot of property in Sifang City, but he doesn't manage much, and Master Xie helps take care of it.

People don't need to support as many people as before, and life is naturally much better.

Many people even started to practice martial arts. Li Yi scanned with his spiritual sense and found that there were many more blood-refining warriors in the city than before.

The star spirit boat passed across the sky, instantly attracting countless eyes.

All the strong men in the city looked towards the Xingchen Lingzhou. Li Yi drove the Xingchen Lingzhou and slowly came to a large house in the inner city of Sifang.

This was originally the residence of the Zheng family, covering an extremely large area.

It is his yard now, but he has lived here very little time.

However, there are still many servants sweeping and maintaining the yard to ensure that the yard is clean and tidy all year round.

Li Yi drove the star spirit boat to an open space in the courtyard, and the servants on the side were all shocked and ran away.

And all the powerhouses in the city are rushing here.

"You guys wait here for a moment."

Li Yi explained to the officials of the Ministry of Rites on board, and then jumped off the star boat.

As soon as he jumped off the Star Spirit Boat, he saw Xie Anping rushing towards here.

And behind him is his elder brother Xie Dong, whom he hasn't seen for a long time, and his current cultivation level has finally been raised to the acquired first level realm.

The four major families fell, and Xie Dong contributed a lot, so he was able to get a lot of resources.

Li Yi also gave him a drop of innate demon blood at the beginning, allowing him to raise his cultivation to the level of visceral refinement.

In addition, the Shen family has started to get in touch with shipping in the past few years. Although Xie Dong didn't participate much, with the help of the Shen family, he was able to buy many things that were not available before.

Therefore, the cultivation base went smoothly and was promoted to the acquired state.

But with his aptitude, reaching this realm is the limit.

Even if there are a lot of resources to support, it is estimated that at most it will be six or seven heavy in the day after tomorrow.

With his aptitude, if there is no great adventure and great adventure, there is no chance to touch the innate realm.

"Master, brother."

Li Yi greeted the two enthusiastically.

Xie Anping was shocked, looked at the Xingchen Lingzhou, then at Li Yi, "Is this yours?"

His tone was full of disbelief, even if he had never seen such a treasure, he had only heard of it.

Xie Dong was also full of curiosity, not only looking at the Star Spirit Boat, but also at the many interior officials on board.

"Thank you, Master, this treasure ship belongs to my disciples."

Li Yi answered sincerely.

"Junior brother, who are those people on the boat?"

Xie Dong asked softly with curiosity on his face.

"Those are some officials from the Ministry of Rituals I found who are idle at home. After a while, the junior and younger brothers are going to get married, so I asked them to help with the etiquette."

Li Yi smiled lightly and explained to Xie Dong.

"Who do you want to marry, Junior Sister Zhao?"

Xie Dong immediately became interested, and after seeing Li Yi nodding slightly, he hurriedly said, "When the time comes, you can use the brother's help, just speak up.

As long as there is a place where I can help, I will help you with anything. "

His tone was sincere, without any hint of falsehood.

Xie Dong knew that he could become an acquired powerhouse, and Li Yi helped a lot.

His own strength is far inferior to Li Yi, and he may not be able to help him in other aspects.

But he is still quite a person in Sifang City. If Li Yi plans to hold a wedding in Sifang City, he will definitely ask for his own help.

Xie Anping glared at him, Li Yi is also his disciple no matter what.

He himself has no relatives or friends, and as his disciple wants to get married, he, as a master, naturally has to undertake many matters.

Before my own master could speak, Xie Dong, the senior brother, spoke first.

Xie Dong smiled embarrassingly, and didn't dare to say any more.

"That's right, junior brother, you only need to say a word to get married, and the senior brothers will help you with whatever you say."

Shen Jianshan laughed loudly and walked from the side.

His cultivation base has now entered the realm of refining the internal organs, and his complexion seems to be much darker than before, presumably it is caused by running boats all year round and being exposed to wind and sun.

Jiang He came with him, so he gave Li Yi a look without saying a word, the meaning was obvious.

As long as there is a place for him to help, just ask him directly.

"Cough cough!"

Xie Anping coughed twice, and glared at his two disciples.

Neither of them dared to speak any more, and immediately stood aside obediently.

"What is your current official position in the imperial court?"

Xie Anping only noticed the robe on Li Yi's body at this time, its color was black and red.

This is the robe of the Duke of the state, which is equivalent to a second-rank official in terms of official position.

The suit Li Yi is wearing today is ordinary clothes, with only robes and no crown.

Although Xie Anping knew the grades represented by official robes, he didn't have a special understanding of them.

I only know that the upper three ranks are black robes, the middle third ranks are red robes, and the lower third ranks are blue robes.

This made him unbelievable. Li Yi had already become a third-rank member in just a short time.

Even the current Hongzhou Fuzun seems to be only a fourth rank!
How long has it been, my disciple.He has already surpassed Hongzhou Fuzun, who is already a very big figure in his heart.

Although Xie Anping saw Li Yi wearing a black official uniform, he still couldn't believe it.

"Master, you must stand firm."

Li Yi spoke in a deep voice, and then winked at Xie Dong and Shen Jianshan's senior brothers, asking them to support Xie Anping.
