After the empress hung up, she suddenly said, "I'll go back in two days!"
"???" Ren Baqian was subconsciously shocked. Could it be that she still remembered that matter until now? Was she really going to come back from the Wall of the Two Worlds to bite him? That couldn't be.
"Your Majesty, do you miss me?" Ren Baqian probed.
Without waiting for the empress to answer, he continued, "I miss you too."
The empress's mouth twitched, and the words "I want to bite you to death" were stuck in her throat. He didn't give her a chance to say them.
"I'll go to Qing Valley to pick you up!" Ren Baqian said.
"There's no need. Prepare a plane for me." The empress hung up the phone after saying that.
She pulled up her red muslin and saw a green mark that looked like an eye on her arm.
The mark was on her arm, but it was covered by her sleeve. She didn't notice when it appeared.
When she was on her way to the Thousand Bone Tribe, she accidentally found this mark on her arm. After thinking about it, she guessed that it was most likely left behind by that expert from the Earth Spirit Race.
Before he died, he kept muttering, "God will punish you." She thought that it was his resentment before he died, but when she found this mark on her arm, her first thought was that it was his doing.
It was quite strange that she didn't notice it at all.
Although she didn't know what it was for, she guessed that it had something to do with the "God" that the Earth Spirit Race had mentioned.
"God? There are no gods in this world. Even if there are, they aren't humans. " The empress looked at the mark on her arm and sneered. She rubbed her skin with her hand and couldn't feel anything.
She put down her sleeve.
However, she couldn't do anything about it.
The Earth Spirit Race wasn't very strong, but there must be something special about them to be able to become a medium-sized race.
Therefore, the empress planned to go back and ask Ren Baqian to bring her back to Earth to see if he could remove the mark on her arm.
Previously, Ren Baqian could directly bring other people's Heaven-grade weapons back to Earth and cut off contact with their original owners.
This might be a solution.
…
Somewhere in this world, within a mountain range, there was an endless chain of altars, distributed on the peak of every mountain.
On each altar was a stone statue that was 100 meters tall.
The stone statue looked down slightly as if it was overlooking the Earth Spirit Race and the beasts walking at the bottom of the mountain.
"Great Elder, one of our tribes has disappeared." An Earth Spirit wearing a crown studded with green gems walked in from a divine hall halfway up a mountain.
"Which tribe?" An Earth Spirit Clan elder wearing a necklace made of jade beads around his neck said in a deep voice in the hall.
"It seems to be a tribe that split off a few thousand years ago. Their token is broken."
"Can you find the direction?"
"There has been no news of them for thousands of years, and the token suddenly shattered just now … Great Elder, could it be the doing of the upper 36 clans?"
"They have an agreement with us …"
The old man of the Earth Spirit Clan remained silent for several breaths before he said, "Ask people to prepare the sacrificial offerings. Inform the deities of this matter in ten days. The Black Sky God will definitely guide us and bring disaster to our enemies. No one can slaughter the people of the Black Sky God without being punished! "
Ten days later, offerings were placed on countless altars in the mountains. Countless Earth Spirits with one or more agate necklaces were kneeling in front of the altars, chanting all kinds of praises.
Then, countless Earth Spirits formed a circle in front of the altars and danced.
"Black Sky God, your people and descendants offer you endless piety and respect. Please guide us to find the murderers who slaughtered your people. Please guide us to bring endless disaster to our enemies …"
This kind of ceremony lasted for an entire day. Suddenly, a stone statue opened its mouth and spat out a black gem.
"The Black Sky God has responded to us!"
The cheers suddenly spread from one mountain to another, and then into the distance.
All the mountains were in an uproar.
The next day, the Great Elder threw the black gem to an Earth Spirit wearing a crown. "The enemies are in the northeast. This divine stone will guide you to find them and defeat them."
"Yes, Great Elder. How many people should I bring?"
"The enemies are far away. Bring a group of warriors … and five giant beasts of disaster … I will inform the 36 clans."
Three days later, countless Earth Spirit warriors riding wild beasts galloped out of the mountains. The mountains trembled as they galloped.
Behind the countless warriors of the Earth Spirit Clan were five terrifying beasts that looked like moving mountains.
…
In Dayao's imperial court, Ren Baqian asked the guards to bring in boxes and place them in the hands of every minister.
"These are?" Great Elder Shi Qing opened the lid and immediately saw a total of 12 bottles inside. Each bottle contained a crystal that was the size of two fingers. "Are these crystals?"
Tong Zhengye used a small wooden clip in the box to pick out a crystal from the glass bottle. Immediately, an extremely abundant vitality rushed straight to his face.
Tong Zhengye took a few deep breaths, and his face revealed a satisfied expression as his body trembled.
"Hmm … What a comfortable feeling!" Tong Zhengye murmured. "Is this the environment outside the Wall of the Two Realms like this? I want to resign and follow in Her Majesty's footsteps. "
"Let's go! I won't send you off! I find you an eyesore! "Qin Chuan's gloomy voice sounded from the side.
Most of the people in the imperial court took out a crystal from the bottle. After feeling the abundant vitality emitted from it, they were quite satisfied and put it back into the bottle. Everyone was careful because this thing wasn't easy to obtain.
They had waited for more than a year for this.
"Is this all?" Tu Wan asked. "It's too little! Also, why do I see more crystals from Great Elder and Young Elder than me? "
This was what most people were thinking.
There were indeed too few crystals in the hands of everyone.
According to what Ren Baqian had said before, these crystals would only last for less than two months.
"After all, the number of crystals is limited, and it's impossible to supply them in large quantities. The two elders will each receive 12 crystals, the six ministers will each receive 11 crystals, the 24 ministers will each receive 10 crystals, and the deputy ministers will each receive 9 crystals, "Ren Baqian explained.
"In addition, the protectors of the five protectorates will each receive 11 crystals, and the deputy protectors will each receive 10 crystals."
"There are also some Cardinal Heaven experts who aren't officials but aren't Cardinal Heaven experts will each receive 5 crystals."
There were less than 3,000 level-4 crystals in total. Using this method, more than 700 crystals were distributed at one time.
These level-4 crystals could only be distributed four times at most, which was two years' time.
As for whether it wasn't enough, everyone would have to think of a solution themselves.
"The ores that were sent back were only made into these crystals?" Tu Wan was puzzled. There were a lot of ores sent back, and everyone was paying attention to them. However, the amount produced was too little!
"This is part of it. This type of crystal was a fourth grade crystal. Below them are level-5 crystals. "Ren Baqian asked the guards to bring everyone a bottle containing a level-5 crystal.
"There are a total of 10,000 of these level-5 crystals. I will reward a portion of them to those who have made great contributions to the imperial court, regardless of their level of cultivation." Ren Baqian smiled. "For example, the people from the academy have made great contributions to the imperial court over the years. The changes in Dayao today are inseparable from them. I believe that all of you won't deny this, right?
In addition to them, there are also some officials from various ministries who have made great contributions to the imperial court. The examination office has a tally of these people. Although the imperial court has already given them rewards, these crystals are another form of favor and recognition from the imperial court. "
Everyone nodded slightly as they couldn't find fault with this point.
"In addition, I want to hold a martial arts competition to select human elites who will be rewarded for training. I will also take out a portion of the crystals as the prizes for this competition! "
"Can I participate?" Qin Chuan suddenly asked.
It wasn't just him. Many people in the imperial court also looked tempted.
Ren Baqian really wanted to ask if they were shameless.
"Cough, no, there is an age limit this time. We want to select young people with potential, especially those who don't have official positions and are wandering outside. If you have a capable nephew, you can let them participate, "Ren Baqian said with a sullen face.
"Finally, I will take out 5,000 crystals and sell them in the market. The money will be used to subsidize the investment in the south."
Seeing that Ren Baqian had arranged everything clearly, everyone was speechless.
However, there was one more thing that Ren Baqian didn't mention. There were still more than 800 level-3 crystals.
If he did, these people would definitely be skinned alive.
He was going to use them to reward those who had made great contributions in the future.
