Chapter 603 A Passerby in a Fictional Dynasty (11)

"If you want to study it, you can go back to the rented land and look at the materials."

"Well, we'll have to wait a while."

"You're really ambitious, girl. You can figure out something that others can't. Your innate cultivation level was quite good in the past, but it's not enough now that spiritual energy has recovered. You should spend more time cultivating instead."

“Elder, I know. I’m just going into seclusion to pass the time in my spare time. You know me, I’m not the kind of person who’s always settled down. I don’t have the patience to go into seclusion all the time. I just want to balance work and rest. That’s more suitable for me.”

"You, you~"

"Let me think. I've seen that picture a few times before. Let me see if I can draw it for you."

"Hehe, thank you, Elder!"

After the elder drew down everything he remembered, Jiang Yue promised to have the caravan collect more books for him. After leaving, she had Bai Ze scan the array diagram into it. With this, she estimated that she would be able to figure something out soon. After returning to the courtyard, she wanted to share it with Xiao Cui, but then realized that he had gone into seclusion.

"Sigh~"

With nothing else to do, she decided to go into seclusion to cultivate. The more seclusion she did, the better she could adjust her apparent cultivation level. This seclusion lasted for a year. When she came out of seclusion, she and Xiao Cui had both reached the Grandmaster realm, but their actual cultivation level was still that of a Land Immortal, or more accurately, the mid-stage of a Land Immortal.

Besides the improvement in strength, Jiang Yue's research on runes has also made some progress. At least she has replicated all the functions mentioned by the Nineteenth Elder. The complete magic array has more than just that; it also has an effect similar to a Muggle banishment spell. If you don't know this place, you would subconsciously overlook it.

Jiang Yue set up magic arrays in her secret guard bases, and she also made some small rune plates with protective and concealment effects to make it easier for her secret guards to carry out missions.

A lot happened this year. First, Jiang's father and mother both broke through to the Unity of Heaven and Man realm. The eldest brother reached the Grandmaster realm a little later. Many of the protagonist's subordinates also broke through, which greatly boosted his strength.

This year, the protagonist has already conquered half of the country, and the current political landscape of dividing the country along the Yangtze River is likely to change soon, with a decisive battle imminent.

Everyone was very busy this year, and they finally had a chance to relax and have a family reunion dinner. The others were fine, they were still cultivating, but they lived nearby. Brother Jiang Yue was different; he had been fighting alongside the protagonist and only returned home now that things had settled down.

After dinner, we talked about my older brother's marriage. The engagement was arranged several years ago, and all the necessary procedures had been completed. He had been so busy before, and now that he finally had some free time, he was going to get married.

On the day of her eldest brother's wedding, the scene was quite grand, with many people attending, including many relatives whom Jiang Yue hadn't seen for many years, as well as some business partners. In short, the wedding was a lively and bustling affair. The wedding seemed to be a dividing point, as less than a month after the wedding, the Eighth Prince and the Ninth Prince officially started fighting.

Jiang Yue wasn't idle either. All the knowledge she gained in the previous world had to be learned slowly. In fact, Jiang Yue's current abilities were already quite good at learning, because her own knowledge reserves were terrifying. Over dozens of worlds, she had never stopped learning.

Aside from the repetitive knowledge, much of the knowledge is actually not difficult to learn. It's just that there's so much of it that she has to learn it slowly. In addition, when she's learning, she integrates new knowledge into her own knowledge system, so the learning speed doesn't seem that fast.

When the protagonist defeats the Eighth Prince and unifies China in this other world, Jiang Yue has completed a small learning goal. The first phase of her learning plan in this world is finished, and she can take a break for a while. Jiang Yue will not push herself too hard in her studies; a balance between work and rest is the right path for her.

After unification, a celebration should be held, and meritorious officials should be rewarded. Not only the Jiang family, but Jiang Yue herself should also be among those rewarded. Her caravan was responsible for a lot of logistical supplies during the war. After all, the Wizard Tower produced a constant supply of food and medicine. Over the years, many people have tried to take advantage of Jiang Yue's caravan, but the puppets are not to be trifled with.

When it came time to decide on her reward, the protagonist had to send someone to ask for her opinion because he didn't know what she wanted. Jiang Yue's idea was to give her a nominal position, as she had no interest in the court.

After finally unifying the country, she had a few years of peaceful development. She wanted to visit her ancestral homeland and explore this world. She didn't want to stay in Liangzhou City forever. Why Liangzhou City? Because the protagonist moved the capital, and the reason for the move was similar to that of the Ming Dynasty.

The celebration was prepared for three months. It was no easy task to tally up the war achievements over the years and rank each meritorious official. In fact, in the China established by the protagonist, the privileges corresponding to each title were all stripped, and the highest title could only be passed down for three generations. There was no such thing as hereditary succession.

Some people will certainly be dissatisfied, but the protagonist's reliance has never been on these local officials. The ministers he summons are the people he truly trusts. If the people in front agree, what can the people behind say? Although there are many dukes and county dukes, the rewards are mostly honorary.

Jiang Yue received the lowest rank of nobility, which for her only meant it was more convenient to stay at post stations when traveling. The other rights were of little use to her. After the great conferment of titles upon meritorious officials, Jiang Yue prepared to go on a study tour. Although her parents were reluctant to let her go, they could only agree when they saw that she was determined.

However, all necessary security personnel should be brought. Jiang's mother assigned her a considerable number of people. At the same time, Xiao Cui has also broken through to the Grandmaster realm. As long as she doesn't run around recklessly, there shouldn't be any safety concerns. The luggage has been packed. There will be a total of four carriages for this trip: one to carry everyone's luggage, one for Jiang Yue and Xiao Cui, one for the head of the guards, and one for the guards to take turns resting.

After making preparations, the family had a meal to see Jiang Yue off. The next day, Jiang Yue set off at the crack of dawn. Before the conflict between the countries escalated, she wanted to go north to another country to take a look. It was said to be very cold there. I wonder if the warm clothing Jiang Yue had prepared was enough.

The northeastern region of this world is larger than Jiang Yue's original world, probably because the author was too lazy to design a new map. If you look at the map of this world, it is a world map magnified more than ten times. On the first day of entering the northeastern region, the temperature suddenly dropped. If it weren't for the fact that everyone had cultivation and had prepared enough cold-weather gear, several of them would have frozen to death.

The temperature drop is a bit illogical; it seems to have suddenly dropped after crossing a certain threshold, without a gradual cooling process. Jiang Yue placed the wizard tower here to study it and see if it was a setting issue or some other reason.
