"It's not that exaggerated!"
Jiang Tian didn't take Lin Hanqing's praise to heart. He chuckled and waved his hand.
In fact, when this cultivation technique was cultivated to the extreme, it still stopped at the Soul Formation Realm. The level didn't increase, but the cultivation speed became faster.
"I will also cultivate with you, Sir. Please teach me!"
Lin Hanqing originally only wanted his son to cultivate with Jiang Tian, but seeing how wonderful this cultivation technique was, even he was tempted.
Maybe he could break through the barrier as soon as possible and directly enter the Soul Formation Realm from the half-step Soul Formation Realm.
Thinking of this, he was also excited. He bowed deeply, cupped his fists, and pleaded.
"We are just verifying each other. Marquis, you don't have to be so polite! "Jiang Tian said calmly.
Suddenly, Lin Hanqing thought of a problem and said coldly with an angry expression,
"Where did Dai 'er go? These days, she always goes out for half a month and I don't see her. She said that she went out to hunt demons, but in fact, I didn't see any progress or gains! Lin Yang, immediately order Zhang Muyun to find her! Punish him severely! "
"Forget it. Lin Dai 'er's cultivation is not bad. I will focus on guiding the two of you! "
Jiang Tian hurriedly stopped him.
He didn't like this girl in the first place, so there was no need to invite her to his side and make things difficult for himself.
"Sigh!"
Lin Hanqing sighed gloomily.
Next, Jiang Tian began to guide Lin Yang's cultivation.
Under Jiang Tian's guidance, Lin Yang's confusion that had been troubling him was easily solved, and he was enlightened.
His cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds. His physical body, vitality, and comprehension of the laws of the Great Dao were all improving rapidly. Golden Core Level One, Level Two, Level Three … He broke through a level almost every few days, and it was still skyrocketing, as if there was no end.
But he didn't expect that the first to break through was Lin Hanqing.
Three months later, Lin Hanqing's spirit embryo finally transformed into a divine treasure, and his Nascent Soul grew into a god. The laws of the universe surrounded him, and the Great Dao resonated. His aura soared into the sky like a giant dragon, and his Qi soared into the sky, shaking a thousand miles.
"Sir, you're like my second parent. Your kindness is like giving me a new lease on life!"
Lin Hanqing cried tears of joy and directly kowtowed to Jiang Tian, calling him his benefactor.
That was true.
He had been stuck at the bottleneck between the Half Step to the Semi-God Realm for decades. Even with the guidance of the Lin Family's Forefather, he still had a long way to go before he could break through this bottleneck.
However, practicing Jiang Tian's modified version of the East-rising Purple Qi was like taking a shortcut. It only took him three months to break through the shackles.
"Marquis, please rise. This is inseparable from your hundreds of years of diligent cultivation. In fact, you've already accumulated enough. You're just missing that layer of comprehension. I dare not claim credit for myself! "
Jiang Tian smiled and reached out with both hands to help him up. He felt very gratified.
After all, in his previous life, Lin Hanqing had taken good care of him and even treated him like his own. But in the end, because Jiang Tian had offended Yan Nanxian, his family was destroyed and his family was destroyed. This made Jiang Tian regret it for the rest of his life. Now, doing this for the Lin Family was his right and he finally felt a little comforted.
After Lin Hanqing broke through, he was even more convinced and respected Jiang Tian's cultivation method. Naturally, he was looking forward to Lin Yang's breakthrough.
… …
Inside the imperial palace.
The Emperor of the Eastern Empire, Eastern Lu, had a pale face and a weak temperament. He hugged his daughter, Eastern Ying, and said with a gratified smile, "I didn't expect that the Zhenyuan Marquis' residence would have such an extraordinary person. He cured my beloved daughter's strange illness and even helped her improve her cultivation. How rare!"
At the bottom of the steps, Eldest Princess Dongfang Moyu stood upright and said with a smile, "Brother, that's why I said that there are quite a few extraordinary people among the commoners and even among the itinerant cultivators outside the river. And now that the cultivation resources are occupied by the aristocratic families, it's extremely disadvantageous for the development of the Empire! "
"Sigh. I completely understand what you mean. The county system is indeed better than the feudal system. But do you remember what happened to Dongfang Jie? The vassals have already become too powerful. It's very difficult for us to weaken them. We can only let them exhaust themselves! "
Eastern Lu's temperament was gloomy as he sighed.
"The Hidden Dragon Trials is an opportunity!"
His eyes suddenly flashed with a cold light, as if he had already made up his mind.
"But the vassals' conflicts will intensify and they will kill each other. The Empire will fall into complete chaos. How many commoners will die? How many loyal officials will be obliterated? A vassal like the Zhenyuan Marquis has always been loyal to the imperial family. If he dies in the chaos of war, how can we bear it? "
Dongfang Moyu said in a low voice.
"Someone has to be sacrificed!"
Eastern Lu waved his hand to dismiss Dongfang Ying and sighed. "Otherwise, do you have a better idea?"
"The imperial family should take the moral high ground, protect the imperial power, and take the initiative to attack."
Dongfang Moyu said with emotion.
"For example, the Marquis of Purple Robe and the Duke of Northern Frontier have never paid tribute. But every year, they ask the imperial family for money for irrigation, military expenses, and disaster relief. Not only are the imperial family dissatisfied, many of the vassals are also dissatisfied. We should unite with the majority of the vassals and clear out the annual tribute they owe. "
"What if they don't pay?"
"Then declare war!" Dongfang Moyu's expression was firm.
"Absolutely not! The Duke of the Northern Frontier and the Marquis of Purple Robe are too arrogant. We can't beat them! "
Eastern Lu jumped in fright and waved his hand. "This matter is too radical. We need to think about it at length!"
Dongfang Moyu sighed softly and frowned. Sometimes, his brother was really too cowardly.
Eastern Lu hurriedly changed the topic. "Of course, I don't want these loyal officials like the Zhenyuan Marquis to suffer in the Hidden Dragon Trials. Speaking of which, how is Lin Yang's cultivation? Has he advanced? He won't be last in the Hidden Dragon Trials, right? "
"Lin Yang is only at the first level of the Golden Core realm. Among the one hundred and eighty vassal descendants, he is undoubtedly at the bottom. However, if Mr. Jiang can help him advance, there may be a glimmer of hope! "
Dongfang Moyu was also deeply worried about this and did not have full confidence.
After all, the little girl Dongfang Ying's breakthrough was based on a foundation. She was already at the middle stage of the Golden Core realm, and Jiang Tian had used the Heyang Pill to improve her physique. But Lin Yang had just formed his core. Strictly speaking, he had not even reached the first level of the Golden Core realm.
This was like building a tall building from the ground. It was too difficult.
"Sigh. If this child had been defeated before, it would have been pretty good to be an idle official in the capital. He did not wield power and only wanted riches and honor. He was also free and unfettered. But now, he is about to die an unnatural death! "
Eastern Lu's expression was sorrowful. He sighed. "However, changing the Hidden Dragon Trials into actual combat is beneficial to the imperial family. If we don't let those vassals grind down the Duke of the Northern Frontier and the Marquis of Purple Robe, they will have the strength to challenge the imperial family after a hundred years! "
A trace of coldness appeared on his face. He said in a low voice.
"If Lin Yang dies this time, immediately persuade Lin Hanqing to use troops against the Marquis of Purple Robe and encourage Count Nan He to join in. Defeat the Marquis of Purple Robe for me. In the end, the territories of the Marquis of Zhenyuan and the Marquis of Purple Robe will belong to the imperial family. The Duke of the Northern Frontier, the Duke of the Eastern Gorge, and the other powerful dukes will not dare to move."
Dongfang Moyu was noncommittal.
She felt that her imperial brother's method of using the Hidden Dragon Trials to reform and weaken the vassals was too unconventional and risky. Things did not seem to be that simple.
Suddenly, Dongfang Moyu said, "Speaking of the Hidden Dragon Trials, little sister received an invitation today. It came from the Marquis of Purple Robe Estate. "
"Yes, it said that there will be a banquet at the Marquis of Purple Robe Estate in three days and little sister is invited to attend. It is said that an incredible joyous event happened at the Marquis of Purple Robe Estate. "
"Joyous event?" Eastern Lu's expression was even more complicated.
As the monarch of a country, his control over the information of his vassals should be impeccable.
But what joyous event happened at the Marquis of Purple Robe Estate? Eastern Lu really did not know.
Of course, it was impossible for the Marquis of Purple Robe to invite the monarch to attend a banquet. Firstly, the vassals did not have that much face. Secondly, the laws of the ancestors did not allow this.
"He did not say it clearly in the invitation. He only said that it was related to his beloved son, Zi Yunxiao. Could it be that his son, Zi Yunxiao, had a breakthrough in his cultivation? "
If it was such a small matter, Eastern Lu would not take it to heart. He waved his hand. "Since you have been invited, you should go. This Marquis of Purple Robe, haha. "
Dongfang Moyu's expression was also somewhat complicated. He was also clear about his imperial brother's fear of the Marquis of Purple Robe.
Although he was below the four great dukes, his position was high and he held great power. He had a powerful army and was almost at the point where his might could shake the emperor.
Thinking of this, Eastern Lu's heart burned with anxiety. He picked up the imperial brush and read a few lines on the memorial. He said coldly, "Announce it to the entire nation. From this year onwards, I have agreed to the Marquis of Purple Robe's suggestion. The Hidden Dragon Trials will be conducted in the form of actual combat to encourage the cultivation of the vassals!
