Jia Rong put on a fawning smile, "Young Master Yun, what did you call me for?"
Li Yunxiao pointed at Lu Yao and said coldly, "She's my friend."
Lu Yao was caressing her throat. She felt like her bones were about to break. There was a bruise on her snow-white neck, making her look pitiful.
Jia Rong was stunned for a moment before he walked forward and raised his hands above his head. He bowed down and said sincerely, "Miss Lu Yao, I was too rash. Please accept my apology. "
Lu Yao jumped in fright and waved her hands while holding her neck. She dodged to the side and helped Jia Rong up. She wanted to say something, but a sharp pain came from her throat and she coughed violently.
Jimeng had a bitter expression. How great would it be if these arcane masters could treat him like this!
Jia Rong took out a milky white pill from his ring and handed it to her, "This is a pill for blood circulation."
Lu Yao refused, and it was Jia Rong's turn to panic. He stuffed the pill into her mouth before heaving a sigh of relief. He carefully looked at Li Yunxiao's eyes.
After refining pills and forging at the guild, Li Yunxiao's position in his heart was equivalent to a sage of alchemy and a guiding teacher. After he went into seclusion, he pondered over the explanation Li Yunxiao gave to Zhang Qingfan and Xu Han. He actually felt signs of breaking through to the second rank. This made him extremely shocked and happy.
But at this moment, he was interrupted by Lu Yao's sound transmission. One could imagine her anger. If not for Li Yunxiao looking for him, the arcane master guild would have exploded.
Li Yunxiao said, "Your talent is better than I imagined. You will definitely achieve greater things in the future if you can break through to the second rank so quickly. I need to refine a large amount of pills this time, and I need your help. "
"Pill refining!" Jia Rong's eyes lit up and he said excitedly, "What materials do you need? I will go prepare them now! "
Li Yunxiao said, "I have already prepared the materials. This time, it might take a while. Find a cultivation room first, I will make arrangements for Jimeng. "
Many alchemists were also martial artists. Although their achievements in martial arts were relatively low, they still needed to cultivate in seclusion. Hence, there were many training rooms. Jia Rong chose the biggest one for Jimeng to use during his seclusion.
Li Yunxiao walked towards a wall. After a moment of contemplation, he took out Black Girl's greatsword and slashed it down.
His sword stance was bold and unrestrained, firm and fierce. The surroundings of the training room were made of hard black iron. Every time Li Yunxiao swung his sword, he would cut off a piece of iron. Sparks flew on the walls, and soon, small words appeared and lined up neatly.
Those small words were fresh and beautiful, and they were carved by the rough sword one after another. They were like little flowers that suddenly bloomed, unending.
This kind of unyielding and powerful sword force actually produced such vivid and lifelike handwriting. Two completely different styles appeared under the sword of one person at the same time. This kind of strong contrast deeply shocked Ji Meng.
Jia Rong was also a one star warrior. Although his comprehension of martial arts was not high, he could still feel the imposing manner of Li Yunxiao's sword. He held his breath and concentrated, not daring to disturb him.
A moment later, a refreshing poem appeared on the wall. It was as if there were many fresh flowers competing with each other in beauty.
"The Peach Blossom Temple in the Peach Blossom Cove, and the Peach Blossom Immortal in the Peach Blossom Temple. The Peach Blossom Immortal planted peach trees and plucked peach blossoms in exchange for wine money. "
As the poem unfolded, a garden full of blooming peach blossoms suddenly appeared before their eyes. It was as if they were suddenly placed under a sky full of falling peach blossoms. The mountains and rivers were one color, and the sky and earth were one seagull.
Li Yunxiao seemed to be very satisfied with his work. He smiled and said, "Jimeng, when I come out of seclusion, if you still can't comprehend a higher Peach Blossom Intent from it, it will only prove that you are not talented. You don't have to follow me anymore."
After he finished speaking, he did not hear Jimeng's reply.
Ji Meng had already absorbed every stroke of the sword will. Peach blossoms bloomed on his bier. He could no longer hear Li Yunxiao's words. He suddenly sat down cross-legged and began to circulate his True Qi. He fell into deep thought.
Jia Rong was stunned. "Young Master Yun, he …"
Li Yunxiao shook his head slightly. "Let's go. It's time to do our own things."
The two closed the door of the cultivation room and once again came to the place where they forged the black girl's sword. This time, Jia Rong gave a strict order. Even if the king died, they were not to disturb them. Such rebellious words scared Lu Yao, but she still nodded her head and gave the order.
After Liang Wenyu knew about it, he even sent four Martial Masters to guard the door for them, just in case.
Li Yunxiao walked one round around the cultivation room and once again picked out a few sturdy alchemy furnaces. He knocked on them a few times to show that he was satisfied. Last time, he directly destroyed a good alchemy furnace. If it were any other alchemist, they would have been captured and sent to compensate. However, not only did Zhang Qingfan and Xu Han not say anything, they even took the damaged alchemy furnace to study.
"I'll take these. I'll refine the first batch first." Li Yunxiao said. "Your job is mainly to learn. When my soul power runs out, you can take over. I didn't expect you to do much in the first place. I just wanted you to do odd jobs for me. "
Jia Rong's eyes lit up when he heard that he was mainly to learn. He hurriedly said, "Odd jobs is good! I love doing odd jobs for Young Master Yun!"
Li Yunxiao's eyes narrowed slightly. He sent a strand of his divine sense into the World Divine Stele in his dantian. Suddenly, a brilliant light flowed through the stele and rushed to the space between his eyebrows. It was as if a third eye had opened in his eyes. A beam of light shot out, and the entire cultivation room was filled with all kinds of items.
Jia Rong was shocked. He stared blankly at the items in the room. "Young Master Yun, you didn't empty the guild's storage, did you?"
Li Yunxiao said, "This is our Li family's storage. I moved it all here. Use what you can use. I'll return the rest when the time comes. "
Jia Rong was speechless. The Li family was the number one military power in the Aquasky Nation.
Just as he was lost in thought, Li Yunxiao said, "The medicine we're going to refine this time contains some Yang energy. With my current soul power, I'm afraid it'll be hard for me to control it. No matter how good my technique is, it can't replace soul power. Therefore, the first thing we need to do is to become a rank 2 arcane refiner. Both you and I have to advance! "
Jia Rong's expression turned serious. His bowing and bowing attitude disappeared. His eyes shone with the light of an arcane refiner. He replied loudly, "Yes, Young Master Yun!"
"Okay." Li Yunxiao was very satisfied with his attitude. He said, "Before that, I'll go have some tea."
Jia Rong: "…"
While Li Yunxiao was in seclusion, something big happened in the Aquasky Nation.
The head of the Li family, Li Chunyang, who was thought to be under Li Yi's control, suddenly appeared in a high-profile manner. Not only did he regain control of the Li family, he even announced that Li Yi was an enemy spy. He issued a nationwide kill order. Anyone who harbored or protected Li Yi would be killed on the spot!
His high-profile return shook the military, which had been in a slump for a long time. It was as if the military had been injected with energy. He began to appear frequently in the court, causing people to speculate.
Furthermore, the old man took the opportunity of wiping out the remnants of Li Yi's faction to raid the homes of several court officials in the capital. Every single one of these court officials had supported Li Yi while the old man was in seclusion, suppressing the direct descendants of the Li family. A few of them were beaten to death when they tried to stop the Li family from raiding their homes. Their corpses were thrown to the dogs. This time, all the civil and military officials in the court were completely shocked.
For a moment, everyone was in a state of panic. There were many court officials who submitted memorials to impeach the old man when he arrested Li Yi. However, when the corpses of the court officials were dragged to the market to be fed to the dogs, the entire court quieted down. No one dared to make a sound.
The whole country seemed to have acquiesced to his nonsense. After all the enemies were beaten and the raids were carried out, the situation gradually calmed down. However, Li Yi, the main character of the whole thing, seemed to have disappeared and never appeared again.
In the courtyard of the Lan family in the Prime Minister's mansion.
The Prime Minister, Lan Hong, was tasting a fragrant tea while listening to his subordinate's report.
"Seven people from the family of Zhang Baisheng, the assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites, were killed. Seven million gold coins worth of property were stolen. Among them were Zhang Baisheng's sixth concubine, one of his nephews, and five servants. Twenty-three people were seriously injured with broken legs and over a hundred were lightly injured. Zhang Baisheng's left leg was also broken. "
Beside Lan Hong was a man in luxurious clothes. His eldest son was also Lan Xuan and Lan Fei's father. Lan Guang said angrily, "Father, are we just going to let that old man do as he pleases? Killing loyal officials of the court as he pleases, does he want to rebel?! "
Lan Hong put down the fragrant tea in his hand, his gaze smiling as he said, "Lan Guang, your vision is still too shallow. You can't see too deep. If Li Chunyang really wanted to rebel, he wouldn't have caused such a big commotion. Besides, right now he's just picking up some flies and ants to beat. It doesn't matter. "
Lan Guang said blankly, "Don't tell me he's just venting his anger from being imprisoned?"
Lan Hong snorted coldly, looking at Lan Guang with disdain. "Do you really think this old man is so easily imprisoned? There's an eighty percent chance he's beating himself at his own game, deliberately concealing himself for a period of time to see the current situation. At the same time, he'll also find the enemies of the Li family hiding in the dark. And he'll also make a fortune. These few days, he's probably obtained more than a hundred million gold coins from confiscating property. "
"So much!"
Lan Guang jumped in fright, crying out involuntarily, "Does His Majesty not care?"
"Care? Humph! "Lan Hong said in a cold voice," His Majesty is aged. What can he still do? Furthermore, His Majesty is also waiting. He also wants to see what on earth Li Chunyang wants to do. If it doesn't surprise me, at the latest the day after tomorrow, Li Chunyang will hand over more than half of the assets he plundered to the national treasury. "
Only then did Lan Guang come to a realization and said, "Makes sense. The Li family has always been suppressed by His Majesty these few years. Especially the suppression of finances is very severe! The Li family can't make ends meet every year. Heh heh, it's also precisely taking advantage of this opportunity to replenish family assets. But the amount of more than a hundred million gold coins is too terrifying. If he doesn't hand over half, how can His Majesty be at ease? "
Lan Hong drank a mouthful of tea, his gaze becoming more and more turbid as he muttered to himself, "This old fogey jumping out at this time, could it be that he's already seen through the situation? How can it be? Why can't I tell? "
Lan Guang said blankly, "Dad, the situation you're talking about, could it be …"
