"That's right, my grandfather is the Grand Preceptor Rouran, one of the eight great demon immortals, the Golden Spider King. I'm just out for a walk, why are you guys chasing after me?" The Golden Spider, who had transformed into a golden-robed girl, spoke in a tough tone. However, when she saw the huge pitchfork in Hong Yi's hand, a tinge of fear could be seen in her eyes.
"The Rouran is a barbarian land, what Grand Preceptor? How dare you come to Da Qian to show off your might?" Hong Yi waved the pitchfork in his hand and sneered at the Golden Spider, "Not to mention you, even if the evildoer Golden Spider King came to Da Qian to kill, eat and drink blood, he would not be able to return. Tell me, why did you come to Da Qian? Why did you stay in Mt. Black Wood and kill the travelers and merchants on the ancient road of Nan Zhou? "
"Who killed the travelers and merchants?" The Golden Spider took a step back and looked at Hong Yi, as if trying to discern something from his face, "It was those people who wanted to capture me to practice their external body. Can't I even resist?"
"Capture you? You resist? Then what's wrong with you today? Why did you suddenly appear on the road and spit out spider webs to trap us? " Hong Yi was not moved by the flowery words of the Golden Spider. He only locked his thoughts on this Yin Spirit. If the other party made any rash moves, he would immediately kill him with the pitchfork.
This Golden Spider's Dao technique cultivation was not profound. It was only at the initial stage of Yin Spirit.
However, for an animal to be able to cultivate to such a stage, it was already unfathomable. One must know that Hong Yi had to spend a long time to break through from the Night Wandering Realm and Day Wandering Realm to the Yin Spirit Realm.
Tu Lao, who was in the secluded valley, had cultivated for tens of years and was only at the Day Wandering Realm.
"I know, they are here to capture me. Of course, I have to make the first move. " Golden Spider pointed at Hua Nongying, who was standing behind him. Hua Nongyue snorted, "A few days ago, I killed a few disciples of Yaochi school who came to capture me. You're also here to capture me, right? Otherwise, you wouldn't be chasing me so relentlessly. "
"Huh?" Hong Yi looked back at Hua Nongying and Hua Nongyue.
"We thought you were just an ordinary Golden Spider. We didn't expect you to be a descendant of the Golden Spider King. Moreover, you have cultivated a magical power. No wonder the people from the Immortal Lotus Hall of the Jade Lake are no match for you." Hua Nongying looked at the Golden Spider and said.
Hua Nong Yue coldly laughed and said, "But do you think you can run now? Since you're not an ordinary Golden Spider, we can't let you go. Otherwise, if we let you go back and tell the Golden Spider King, wouldn't it cause trouble for our Yaochi school? "
After saying that, the two ladies looked at Hong Yi. Their expressions were very obvious. They wanted Hong Yi to make his move quickly.
"Since you didn't harm people for no reason, then you should go back to your Rouran. Don't loiter around in Da Qian." Hong Yi didn't make his move. He only shook the steel fork in his hand and kept his evil thoughts. The steel fork also disappeared without a trace.
All living things have spirits. This Golden Spider had cultivated a godly soul, just like Xiao Shu, Xiao Fei, and the other little foxes. Since she didn't harm people for no reason, Hong Yi wouldn't destroy her godly soul.
"Huh?"
When the Golden Spider saw that Hong Yi was willing to let her go, she was stunned.
"We can't let her go." Hua Nongying and Hua Nongyue said in unison.
"Hmph! I'm not afraid of your Yaochi school's Great Empress Spell. Come at me if you want! "
The Golden Spider didn't show any weakness.
"Why aren't you going back to Rouran?" Hong Yi ignored their conversation. He only looked at the Golden Spider.
"I'm not going back. I snuck out this time." The Golden Spider looked at Hong Yi, her expression changed. "My grandfather wanted to use the Great Empress Spell to help me reincarnate and marry Prince Rouran. Of course, I refused, so I escaped. But I didn't expect you to let me go when so many people are after me? Why is that? "
"If you were an ordinary Golden Spider, of course I would catch you. But you actually cultivated to the Yin Spirit level, and your soul turned into a human. Other than your skin, you are no different from a human." Hong Yi said.
"Oh? Is that what you people are talking about? " When the Golden Spider heard Hong Yi's words, she frowned. She seemed to be thinking about something. Then, she said, "You can actually condense moonlight into a physical form. It seems like you have cultivated the Lunar Light King Body. This technique is only found in the secret scriptures of the Daizen Temple. If you take it a step further, you can condense sunlight and cultivate the Lunar Light King Body. Finally, you can cultivate the Vairocana True Form. You are even stronger than the Nine Flaming Inferno Dragon of the Supreme Path. So powerful, so powerful. Sooner or later, my grandfather will come to capture me for reincarnation. I just happen to need someone to protect me. Since you are so powerful, protect me! I can give you treasures to hire you! In my place, as long as you have money, you can hire strong people. "
"This Golden Spider is proficient in the secret scriptures! He can actually see that I have cultivated the Lunar Light King Body? " When Hong Yi heard the Golden Spider's words, he was secretly shocked. He suddenly asked, "What you just displayed was the Mighty Heavenly Dragon Bodhisattva Bodhisattva Technique? This dao technique cultivates the soul and is extremely powerful. It is also a manual of the Daizen Temple. Where did you get it from? "
"Back then, my grandfather secretly stole it from the Sutra Depository of the Daizen Temple. There are many manuals." The Golden Spider said, "Are you willing to be hired by me? If you are hired by me, I will tell you this cultivation method. This scripture is a cultivation method of both Dharma and Martial Dao. In addition to the cultivation of the Divine Soul, the Dragon Elephant Seal in the Great Mighty Heavenly Dragon Bodhisattva Scripture is a martial art that you humans cultivate. I know all of these martial arts. You only need to be hired by me for three years. Three years is enough. "
"Dragon Elephant Seal!"
When Hong Yi heard this, his thoughts raced.
After reading Monk Yin Yue's martial scriptures, Hong Yi knew that the Dragon Elephant Seal was an extremely profound martial art. It mainly focused on refining the marrow.
There were hundreds and thousands of martial arts in the world. Although the methods to refine the muscles, skin, bones, and internal organs were precious, if one was a high official or powerful person, they could get their hands on them. The only thing that could not be obtained was the higher level of the Marrow Refining manual.
But as long as the Marrow Refining manual was like the priceless Imperial Jade Seal, once it appeared, it would immediately bring about endless bloodshed.
This was because after one's fist technique surpassed the Xiantian realm and reached the Grandmaster realm, one needed to start refining the marrow and changing the blood, advancing towards the Wu Sheng realm!
And the Marrow Refining manual was the key to open this gate. With the Marrow Refining manual, one's body could become a Sage! Achieving the Wu Sheng realm! Without the Marrow Refining manual, even if one was a genius and practiced martial arts for a hundred years, one could only step into the Grandmaster realm and not enter the Wu Sheng realm.
Hong Yi now had the Spirit Turtle Breathing Technique and the Sky Snake Breathing Technique. He did not lack the Organs Refining manual from the Xiantian realm to the Grandmaster realm. But to break through to the Grandmaster realm and enter the Wu Sheng realm, he needed the Marrow Refining manual. Without the Marrow Refining manual, even if Hong Yi comprehended the Thoughtless Tranquility realm, it would be like a flower in the mirror, the moon in the water. At most, he would stop at the elementary Grandmaster realm.
"What? This … "
When Hua Nongying and Hua Nongyue heard this, they did not expect that the small Jin Shu actually had the Great Zen Treasured Scripture, the supreme Marrow Refining manual!
"The Dragon Elephant Seal is the supreme martial art technique of the Daizen Temple. After mastering it, one can become the Wu Sheng realm with immense strength and the strength of a dragon and an elephant! This fist technique is second only to the Great Thunder Seal of the Secret Manual of Human Immortality ! " Hua Nongying and Hua Nongyue sighed and looked at the Golden Spider as if they were looking at an idiot. They did not know if the other party was a fool or was really as naive as a three year old child.
"Alright! I can protect you for three years. "When Hong Yi heard this, he did not even think and immediately agreed.
Honestly, no one could reject such a good thing.
Even if the Golden Spider King came looking for him in the future, it would be a matter of the future.
"That's good. I am also tired of staying in this forest. If I go out, I will be killed again. Now that I have finally hired a powerful mercenary, it is really not easy. " The Jin Shu Yin Spirit grumbled angrily, "After we go out, I want to drink black milk tea. You have to prepare it for me every day and hide me well. Don't let anyone see me. I want to sleep peacefully every day and not be disturbed by anyone. Also, I want to sleep in a silk quilt, wear rose dew, and take a milk bath. I don't like the smell. "
…
"Has Brother Yi been in the forest for a long time? Why is he not back yet? "On the road, Mu The Younger looked anxiously into the forest.
"Miss Mu, please rest assured. It is just a Golden Spider. Brother Hong's Divine Soul is traveling, it is not a big deal." Chi Zhuiyang comforted Mu The Younger, but there was a hint of respect in his words.
This was because Chi Zhuiyang knew that Mu The Younger was likely to be the reincarnation of Grand Tutor Yuwen.
Just as the two were talking, a ball of light suddenly flew out of the forest. It was Hong Yi's Moonlight King Body.
The only difference was that on Hong Yi's bare shoulder, there was a Golden Spider the size of a kitten.
"This is?" Chi Zhuiyang saw Hong Yi's Divine Soul return to his body, and the Golden Spider land on the ground, strolling leisurely like a golden silk cat. He could not help but ask curiously, "Brother Hong subdued this Golden Spider? I remember that the Golden Spider has a violent temperament, it is not easy to subdue. "
"Subdue? I did not subdue her, I only made a deal with her. " Hong Yi opened his eyes and looked at the cat-like Golden Spider, "She is not an ordinary Golden Spider. She is the granddaughter of the State Preceptor Rouran Golden Spider King. She ran away from her marriage and hired us to protect her."
"Spider ran away from her marriage? And even hired servants? "
Hearing Hong Yi's words, everyone's eyes widened like an enraged bull. Everyone felt a sense of disbelief in their hearts.
At this moment, the Golden Spider snorted and made a strange but understandable sound,
"What are you looking at? I'm going to sleep. "After saying that, it withdrew its teeth and slowly climbed into the tent.
"Spider can speak?" All the people present, including the Five Elders of the White Cloud, the three Hei Ying brothers, and the five soldiers, including Shen Tiezhu felt like fainting.
Hong Yi had seen the fox Tu Lao speak, so he was not surprised. He just said to Chi Zhuiyang,
"This Golden Spider speaks the Da Qian language well. Since she is the Golden Spider of the Rouran Kingdom, she should be speaking the Rouran language."
"The Golden Spider King cultivated and traveled in the Da Qian Kingdom. The nobles of Rouran all learned the Da Qian language."
Chi Zhuiyang said.
At this moment, Hua Nongying and Hua Nongyue also returned their souls to their bodies. They opened their eyes and looked at Hong Yi.
"You are the two Hall Masters of the Flower Moon Hall of Yaochi School and the two ladies of the wealthy Hua Family of Yinzhou." Before the two ladies could speak, Hong Yi spoke first.
"We sisters are now in your hands. We are fish on the chopping board, waiting to be slaughtered. However, I saw you chasing the Golden Spider and talking to a different species. Although you had the upper hand, you were not aggressive. You seem like a decent person. We sisters only have ourselves to blame for what happened this time. If you have any rules, just say it. " At this moment, Hua Nongying had already calmed down. She had just found out that Hong Yi was not a vicious person, so she was relieved.
"For the time being, I don't have any rules. However, my younger sister lacks people to serve her. You sisters should have quite a number of capable maids under you. I need eight reliable maids to serve me. However, I don't want those who are arrogant and despotic." Hong Yi's expression did not change as he casually made a request.
"That is easy," Hua Nong Yue said. "I have eight smart girls. They are good at martial arts. I will give them to you." When Hua Nong Yue heard that it was a small request, he felt relieved.
"Well, you silver merchants also have ships in the south that go overseas for trade. Your ships are very sturdy. They are covered with iron sheets and equipped with things like flywheels and iron oars. I wonder if you can sell some to me?" Hong Yi got to the point.
It turned out that the business of the Yinzhou merchants was very extensive. Their ships traveled to various countries on the sea, transporting porcelain, tea, silk and satin. At the same time, they traded for spices, precious stones, gold and silver, and all kinds of rare items from overseas.
However, there were many islands on the sea. The wind and waves were strong, so they needed sturdy ships.
The Yinzhou merchants secretly hired skilled craftsmen from all over the world to develop and build many ships. Among them, the sturdiest ship was covered with iron sheets and had iron oars under the deck. When people stepped on it, they could walk on the water as if they were flying. They were much sturdier than the ships of the Da Qian Navy.
This was something that Hong Yi had read in his notes.
He was about to go to the south and become an official in the Jinghai Navy to eliminate the pirates. He would definitely have to send troops to war on the sea. If his team used a small official ship, it would be very dangerous. If he bought the Yinzhou merchants' iron-clad airship and gained military merits, it would be a small matter.
"You want to buy an iron-clad airship? This kind of ship is very expensive. A large ship that can carry 800 people costs 1,300,000 taels of silver. A thousand craftsmen will need to lay the keel, forge the iron sheets, and soak the wooden planks in oil. From start to launch, it will take seven to eight years to build. Right now, the two of us can only control two ships. Every year, we go to the sea to do business in Shenfeng, Liuzhu, Yun, Rixia, Hengyu, Baimu, and Dongchuan. Moreover, this ship is very difficult to build, so the Yinzhou Merchant Association is not allowed to sell it. "
When Hua Nongying heard this, he frowned.
"Moreover, this large ship must be surrounded by 36 small boats to protect it," Hua Nongyue continued.
"The cost of a ship is 1,300,000 taels of silver?" When Hong Yi heard this, he was shocked. He had wanted to buy it just now, but now that he heard it, he gave up. The cost of a ship was more than a million taels of silver, and if he sold it, it would be less than three million taels of silver. He only had slightly more than 100,000 taels of silver in his hands.
"Then forget it. Can we rent it? Also, your merchants should have detailed sea maps, right? "Hong Yi waved his hand and suggested another idea.
