"What do you mean?"
Qin Feiyang and Fatou were puzzled.
The Mansion Master was the highest authority in the nine states. It could be said that they contributed greatly to the prosperity of the nine states.
Logically speaking.
After they succeeded and retired, they should enter the imperial capital to retire.
But why did the old woman say that it was impossible to stay in the imperial capital for a long time?
"Let's talk as we walk."
The ugly old woman pondered for a while, raised her head and said to the two, then turned around and walked slowly along the passage towards the exit.
Qin Feiyang and Fatso looked at each other and followed silently.
Wolf King and Black Dragon Snake were also unprecedentedly obedient, remaining silent along the way.
After walking for a while, the ugly old woman finally spoke, "Actually, there is another way to enter the imperial capital."
"What way?"
Qin Feiyang was surprised.
"To cultivate a group of talents."
"To put it simply, whether we, the old people guarding the altar, can enter the imperial capital has something to do with you young people."
"If you young people can win the Nine States War, then we can enter the imperial capital, or enjoy our old age in the imperial capital, or get an official position."
"But in the hundred years before you, almost no one successfully completed the Nine States War."
"There were even several times when the people of the Spiritual State were completely annihilated in the Nine Nether Underworld. I really can't wait any longer."
"That's why this time, I used the Black Poison to force you to win."
The ugly old woman said.
"So that's how it is."
Qin Feiyang muttered and asked, "Then, senior, can you enter the imperial capital now?"
"Yes."
The ugly old woman nodded and said with a smile, "So I have to thank you properly."
Fatso's eyes lit up and he asked, "How do you want to thank me?"
The ugly old woman pondered for a while and said, "You can pick the herbs outside."
"This …"
Qin Feiyang and Fatou looked at each other.
Then, their eyes became hot.
Wolf King, who was lying on Qin Feiyang's shoulder, was drooling.
One had to know.
There were countless medicinal herbs in the Butterfly Valley. Furthermore, they were all extremely rare medicinal herbs.
It could be said that this was a huge treasure trove!
On the other hand, the Black Dragon Snake coiled around Fatso's wrist looked at them suspiciously. What kind of medicinal herb could make these three fellows so excited?
Looking at Qin Feiyang's expression, the ugly old woman couldn't help but shake her head and laugh, "Although you are allowed to pluck as much as you want, you should know when to stop and leave some for Old Man Ren."
Qin Feiyang was stunned and asked in confusion, "What does this have to do with the Old Master?"
"Of course it's related."
"When I enter the Imperial Capital, the heavy responsibility of guarding the altar will fall on him."
"In other words, this will be his territory from now on."
The ugly old woman laughed.
Qin Feiyang frowned and said, "Senior, do you mean that the Old Master also has to step down?"
"That's right."
"The people who guard the altars must be extremely powerful. The Prefecture Lord is, without a doubt, the strongest existence in the Nine Great Provinces."
"You don't have to feel unjust for Old Man Ren, because this is the rule set by the Emperor."
"Moreover, Old Man Ren has long wanted to step down."
"You may think that the Prefecture Lord has great power and is very dignified, but it's actually very tiring."
"In addition, Old Man Ren also wants to go to the Imperial Capital to enjoy his old age."
"If he doesn't step down and become the guardian of the altars, then his wish will never be fulfilled."
"This is the sorrow of being born in the Nine Great Provinces."
"The Nine Great Provinces originally belonged to the Great Qin Empire, and we are all citizens of the Great Qin Empire. However, it's as difficult as ascending to the heavens to enter the Imperial Capital."
The ugly old woman sighed deeply, and there was a trace of injustice in her tone.
Fatso said in his heart, "Boss, Fat Lord thinks that the Great Qin Empire's system really needs to be changed, because it's too unfair to the people of the Nine Great Provinces."
"Indeed."
Wolf King nodded.
"Change?"
Qin Feiyang shook his head and said with a smile, "It's not as easy as you make it out to be. These systems are set by the Emperor of each generation. Other than the Emperor, no one has the right to change them."
Fatso chuckled and said, "Then we'll wait until you become the Emperor to change them."
"Don't talk nonsense."
"This is a crime of treason."
"If it falls into the ears of someone with ulterior motives, it will lead to a fatal disaster!"
Qin Feiyang shouted in his heart.
"What are you afraid of?"
"It's only a matter of time anyway."
Fatso curled his lips in disdain.
Qin Feiyang helplessly glared at him, then looked at the ugly old woman and asked suspiciously, "After the Old Man Ren steps down, who will take over the position of Prefecture Lord?"
"I guess that Old Man Ren already has a suitable candidate in mind."
"However, he can only recommend it to the Emperor. In the end, it's up to the Emperor to decide whether it will succeed or not."
The ugly old woman said.
Qin Feiyang nodded and lowered his head to ponder.
Who would the Old Man Ren's candidate be?
Wang Hong?
If one were to judge based on strength and character, Wang Hong was the most likely candidate.
Unknowingly.
The three men and two beasts left the passage and arrived outside the small wooden building.
At that moment.
Streams of aura entered Qin Feiyang's senses.
He looked up and saw Lu Xingchen and the others standing in the air, whispering to each other.
Wang Hong and Jiang Qianqing were also among them, their faces full of smiles.
The ugly old woman said, "Wang Hong, Jiang Qianqing, you guys go first. I still have something to ask Qin Feiyang and Fatso to do."
"Yes!"
Wang Hong and Jiang Qianqing replied respectfully.
Then.
Wang Hong looked at Qin Feiyang and transmitted his voice, "Kid, after you're done with your business, go and see the Prefecture Lord immediately."
"Okay."
Qin Feiyang replied in his heart.
Then, Wang Hong opened a portal and quickly left with Lu Xingchen and the others.
"Strange."
Fatso looked at the portal and frowned.
"What's strange?"
Qin Feiyang was suspicious.
Fatso said, "Aren't Wang Hong and Jiang Qianqing also in the Nine Nether Yellow Springs? Where did they come from? "
The ugly old woman said, "They are only escorting you in. After you leave, the power of the rules of the Nine Nether Yellow Springs will take the initiative to send them out."
Qin Feiyang asked, "Senior, did you also participate in the Nine Regions Great War?"
"Of course."
"Every Prefecture Lord is chosen from those who participated in the Nine Regions Great War."
"But they are all failures."
"Because those who succeeded all went to the imperial capital."
The ugly old woman said somewhat awkwardly.
"In other words, you were also a failure back then?"
"Haha …"
"So you're so bad!"
Fatso suddenly laughed out loud.
The ugly old woman's face darkened and said coldly, "Do you believe that I won't cripple you?"
Fatso shrunk his neck in fright and immediately shut his mouth, but his face was red.
"Don't shoot your mouth off."
Qin Feiyang rolled his eyes at Fatso and sighed. "Those who succeed enter the imperial capital. Those who fail become Prefecture Lords or Commanders. In fact, as long as they can come out alive, their achievements in the future will not be too low. It's just that the price is too high. "
"Yes!"
"Countless people enter the Nine Nether Yellow Springs one after another, but how many survive in the end?"
"But what can be done? It's just that this world is too cruel. "
The ugly old woman sighed deeply, then shook her head and said with a smile, "Let's not talk about it. Go and pick the herbs!"
"Okay!"
At the mention of herbs, Qin Feiyang, Jiang Qianqing, and Wolf King were extremely excited as if they had been injected with chicken blood.
But just as they flew into the sky, Qin Feiyang suddenly thought of something. He looked down at the old woman and asked in confusion, "Senior, you just told Wang Hong and Jiang Qianqing that you have something for Fatso and me to do. What is it?"
"Idiot."
The ugly old woman rolled her eyes at Qin Feiyang, then turned and entered the small wooden house without looking back.
"What do you mean?"
Fatso scratched his head, his face full of suspicion.
Qin Feiyang pondered for a moment, then said in realization, "I understand. She said that to send Lu Xingchen and the others away."
"Send them away?"
Fatso was stunned.
"Think about it!"
"Lu Xingchen and the others are the same as us. They have also won the Nine States Battle."
"If she only lets us pick the herbs and doesn't let them do it, won't they say that she is biased behind her back?"
Qin Feiyang said with a smile.
"Haha …"
Fatso was stunned, then he laughed and said, "I didn't expect this old witch to be so scheming."
A row of black lines immediately appeared on Qin Feiyang's forehead. He angrily said, "That's enough! If your disrespect angers her and she doesn't let us pick the medicinal herbs, I won't forgive you."
"Hehe …"
"Don't worry, she can't hear you."
Fatso laughed mischievously.
But before he finished, the ugly old woman's cold voice came from the small wooden house.
"Although this old woman is old, my ears are still very good. Damn Fatso, you better be careful."
Hearing this, Fatso's face changed and he smiled apologetically.
"Did you hear that? Be careful."
Qin Feiyang glanced at Fatso with schadenfreude and flew towards the sea of flowers.
"Tsk!"
Fatso raised his middle finger in disdain and quickly followed.
In the sea of flowers.
Hundreds of flowers bloomed and the fragrance of flowers assailed the nose!
The herbs were like slender and elegant young girls, swaying in the wind and gushing out rays of light.
As soon as Qin Feiyang entered the sea of flowers, he called out Lu Hong and the pangolin.
When the black dragon snake saw the herbs, it was dumbfounded on the spot.
There were so many herbs?
No wonder Qin Feiyang and the others were so excited.
For a moment.
Qin Feiyang and the other two, Wolf King and the other two beasts, began to frantically sweep through the sea of flowers.
"Boss, come over and take a look. What kind of herb is this?"
Suddenly.
Fatso's surprised voice sounded.
Qin Feiyang walked over and looked down at the herb in Fatso's hand. His eyes immediately lit up.
This medicinal herb was a finger tall, its entire body was green and crystal clear. There were three cloud-shaped leaves on it, emitting a hazy radiance.
Fatso urged: "What exactly is it, tell me!"
Qin Feiyang swallowed his saliva and said: "This is the Spirit Cloud Grass, one of the main ingredients for refining the Spirit Sea Pill."
"I'll go."
Fatso looked at the Spirit Cloud Grass with shining eyes.
The Spirit Sea Pill could be used to cultivate a shattered Qi Sea. As one of the main medicinal herbs, the Spirit Cloud Grass was definitely priceless.
"Qin Feiyang, I also found a fruit that I have never seen before."
On the other side, Lu Hong also said at this time.
Qin Feiyang hurriedly ran over and looked down. The excitement on his face could not be concealed.
