Emperor Yu descended the Four Pillars: to suppress demons, exorcise devils, deliver ghosts, and slay immortals. From the Four Pillars, Four Gates were born: the Dao Gate to slay demons, the Buddhis...
Chapter 211 Not big enough?
Ever since the Miao family gave up the throne of Ganzhou, the last bit of turmoil in Ganzhou has completely disappeared, and the tranquility that a small state should have has been completely restored.
Li Yanmo was originally worried about not being able to spend the excess spirit stones from prestige and experience, so he generously approved Miao Qianqian to use the training ground and Sutra Library of Tianxu Tower for free.
The Tianxu Tower has the most advanced training ground, which is powered purely by burning spirit stones. One more person means one more expense.
According to the agreement, if someone spends money to comprehend the skills in the Sutra Library, Tianxu Tower will need to share the money with Dayu. If someone comprehends it for free, then Tianxu Tower will lose money unilaterally.
It’s a pity that no one knows if Miao Qianqian has figured something out and is no longer spending so much time in the training ground, but is instead contemplating the realm. Sometimes she even stops practicing and devotes herself to the development of the Miao family.
Li Yanmo was not in a hurry to expand the new Tianxu Building.
Tianxu Tower is a matter of great importance, and it is not something that can be built just like that. Whether it is Tianxu Tower in Ganzhou or Tianxu Tower in Jingzhou, there is an element of luck involved. Furthermore, he is the only one who can take on the fighting force in the entire Taixu Sect. He certainly cannot let his weak, pitiful and helpless disciples solve tasks like scouting out the new Tianxu Tower. Of course, we must never ask the Dayu Dynasty for help!
Otherwise, there's nowhere to spend the money.
It’s not too late to wait for him to recover!
This wait lasted eight years.
It's spring again, and the cabin outside Luoyang Town is still the same. I had considered adding more to it, but in the end I shelved it due to laziness. After eight years, the cabin is still the same, but it has become more heavy with age.
Li Yanmo sat on the roof, looking at the snow that had not yet melted, and couldn't help but reminisce about the past eight years that had passed in a flash.
Chi Che's nearly thousand years of experience were erased by Emperor Yu with his magical power of Nan Ke's dream, but the trauma left behind was not so easy to eliminate. He had no real sense of the passage of time. Eight years seemed like eight months, or eight days. Only the growth of his disciples made him realize the passage of time.
The appearance of the Shen family's three members has not changed much in the past ten years. Relying on the super advanced training ground of Tianxu Tower and the vast amount of spiritual fruits, the three of them formed the Dan one after another in the fourth year.
After the Dan was formed, Li Yanmo, as the master, had no way to directly detect his disciple's cultivation level. Fortunately, the disciples’ cultivation level will be displayed on the management interface. After eight years, Shen Wansan and Lin Zhi are still in the early stage of Jindan.
This is not surprising, as the growth cycle of a monk starts at a hundred years. It is incredible that the Shen couple could achieve such terrifying growth in less than ten years with the help of the super-advanced training field and massive amounts of spiritual fruits. Of course, there may also be a problem with the mentality of the Shen couple. From the beginning to the end, the Shen couple have not been obsessed with breaking through the realm. Their limited time has been used to reclaim farmland. After breaking through the golden elixir, their first thought was that farming would be more convenient.
On the contrary, Shen Ziqing, the second disciple who was considered by Jiang Baili and other elders of Qingshan Sect to be mediocre and unable to go far, made rapid progress. He had already reached the Nascent Soul stage without making a sound. If the Taixu Sect was not so wealthy and powerful, and one Nascent Soul could not be used as a guarantee, Li Yanmo would probably have vomited blood.
Li Yanmo himself was also very puzzled. In the past eight years, Shen Ziqing had not spent much time in the training ground, and even often went out to travel. How come he had reached the Nascent Soul stage in the blink of an eye?
Li Yan looked at himself again. After overcoming two bankruptcies in the past eight years, he had now reached the 325th level of Qi training. There was a lake on the foundation-building platform, and he had gradually developed from a holiday castle into a tourist attraction.
However, there are also some people whose cultivation has not changed, but their appearance has changed greatly.
His eldest disciple Jian Xin and fifth disciple Zhuge Moer.
As the saying goes, girls change a lot when they grow up. Jian Xin transformed from a little girl into a real young lady. Her enchanting appearance was fully blossomed. Coupled with her snow-white hair and a pair of scarlet eyes, she caught countless people's attention. It’s a pity that Jian Xin always looks cold no matter who he faces. Sometimes Li Yanmo even suspects that Jian Xin really has facial paralysis.
However, Jian Xin’s cultivation level is only at the Qi training level.
Zhuge Moer was originally two years older than Jian Xin and had grown up earlier than Jian Xin. But Zhuge Moer always stayed in the office and hardly dressed up. Plus, Li Yanmo had seen Zhuge Liumu's looks at his peak, so even when Zhuge Moer grew up, Li Yanmo would occasionally mutter that she was indeed not as good-looking as her father.
At first, Zhuge Moer would still lose his temper, but after eight years, he had begun to consider whether to change his surname.
Because he had little interest in cultivation, and there were still many mechanical devices and magical weapons to be polished, Zhuge Moer had only reached the tenth level of Qi training.
During these eight years, there have been constant small conflicts in the world, but no major events like Chi Che's incident, and the super sects have also begun to think about lifting their silence.
Of course, there is only one reason why the super sects are trying to remain silent and are ready to make moves, and that is that the ten-year deadline for the crown prince competition has expired, and the reactions of the great Confucian scholars are extremely intense. Emperor Yu must select a crown prince as soon as possible and prepare to give up the throne.
The new emperor's accession to office means bloodshed and political turmoil.
This is a good opportunity to strengthen the sect's influence and also a good opportunity to build a new Tianxu Tower.
He has been doing nothing honestly for the past eight years, and Tianxu Tower has also been operating in a low-key manner.
Although he successfully went bankrupt twice during this period, for some reason there would sometimes be signs of a sudden increase in prestige experience, which left Li Yanmo himself confused.
After much thought, Li Yanmo felt it necessary to open a new pit.
Just when Li Yanmo was thinking about where to build the new Tianxu Tower, a cold voice came.
"Master, come down to eat."
“Here it comes—”
Li Yanmo agreed, slid down the roof, and landed steadily on the ground. The fluttering white hair and the beautiful and cold face were reflected in his eyes.
"Boss, do you still remember that swordsman?"
Looking at Jian Xin in front of him, some of Li Yanmo's memories were brought back and he couldn't help but recall them.
"It seems she hasn't appeared since Sunrise City."
"Maybe you were dumped, Master."
Jian Xin glanced at Li Yanmo, turned around, put the hot dishes on the table, picked up a basket of food and threw it towards the dry well.
“Is this true—”
Li Yanmo scratched his head, but without looking disappointed, he picked up the bowl and started eating.
Compared to Li Yanmo, Jian Xin's movements were much more elegant and gentle, but his scarlet eyes would glance at Li Yanmo from time to time.
"Master, is there anything you want to tell me?"
“…Oh, Boss, the food you cook is getting more and more delicious.”
"Besides this?"
"Anything else?"
Seeing Li Yanmo pretending to be stupid, Jian Xin nodded nonchalantly on the surface, but he was extremely annoyed in his heart.
Zhuge Moer has a good memory. Recently, she has started to bring up old things and ask her what exactly she knows. Every time, she can only say that the secret cannot be revealed.
Of course, she was still annoyed with Li Yanmo.
She has grown up so much, why is Li Yanmo still unwilling to reveal anything?
Is it not big enough?
