Chapter 231 You have already abandoned your wife and children, so why not just cut off the roots and eliminate the trouble?
"What should I do? Now you know it's urgent?"
Qi Yuping snorted coldly, but knew that now was not the time to pursue these matters.
"Since you've already abandoned your wife and children, why not just cut off the roots and eliminate future troubles?"
"Those who achieve great things don't pay attention to trivial matters. As long as Xiao Ying exists, he will be a threat."
"If you don't want her to reveal your identity in the future, get rid of her as soon as possible."
Chen Ning's expression changed, he clenched his fists, and then slowly released them.
Yeah, time to make a decision.
After nine years of immersion in officialdom, he is no longer the young man who knew nothing.
With the support of his father-in-law, he has a bright future. He might even be able to become a minister or a chancellor in the future. His future must not be ruined because of Xiao Ying!
His kindness has allowed Xiao Ying to live nine more years, which is considered fair to her. Don't blame him for being cruel and ruthless this time.
"But she has just been granted the title of Confucian scholar by the Emperor. Wouldn't it be too conspicuous to kill her now?"
He hesitated a little, wondering what to do if someone came to investigate, especially since Ning Yuanze was still in Yun'an County.
"Then let's do it in a more covert way so that no one will know it was a homicide."
Qi Yuping didn't care at all. It was not that difficult to get rid of a weak village woman.
Chen Ning nodded and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Then Qi Yuping said, "There's a killer organization in Yue Country called the Dark Night Pavilion. I heard there's no mission they can't complete. This time, you'll do it yourself."
"Yes, Dad."
Chen Ning gritted his teeth, waved away the last bit of kindness in his heart towards Xiao Ying, and his eyes became firm.
At the same time, the emperor also called in the secret guards. These secret guards were all cultivators trained by the Yu family. They were masters of the fourth and fifth levels of Qi Refining. The leader of the secret guards who was responsible for protecting him had even reached the sixth level of Qi Refining.
He immediately ordered two people to go to Chenjia Village and asked them to find out the whole story of the potatoes, especially Chenjia Village and Xiao Ying, to find out where she found them.
The two secret guards received orders to leave Shangjing that night and head towards Chenjia Village.
On the second day, Chen Ning also took leave and left his shift early. After disguising himself, he went to the Dark Night Pavilion branch.
However, to his surprise, the other party refused to accept the order after knowing his purpose, and his face instantly turned cold and he was directly kicked out.
Chen Ning was angry and confused, but the Dark Night Pavilion was unwilling to accept the order, so he had no choice but to go back and make plans.
Manager Zheng of the Dark Night Pavilion's Shangjing branch was perplexed. What on earth was going on with Xiao Ying? Why was someone trying to kill her again? And he appeared to be an official.
He should not be from the Zhou family, because he clearly told the Zhou family that they would not accept the order.
He shook his head, unable to figure it out and too lazy to think about it anymore.
Instead, he felt a bit gloating. He wanted to kill Xiao Ying, so this guy was probably in big trouble. He didn't want to die like Zhou Yanqing, inexplicably.
…
The potato incident not only attracted the attention of the imperial court, but also the Xia family, a family of immortal cultivators in Xizhou, finally took notice.
The Xia family has placed people in the county government offices of almost every county in Xizhou, and the one stationed in Yun'an County is none other than the chief clerk Tian Chang.
Tian Chang has been in the position of chief clerk for more than ten years. He has neither made any achievements nor made any mistakes, and his presence is not high, but no one can shake his position.
After Ning Yuanze purchased potatoes from Chenjia Village this time, he sent someone to the Xia family to deliver a message.
The Xia family did not take it very seriously at first. After all, they were not concerned about the country and the people, until they discovered that the potatoes sent to them contained a trace of spiritual energy.
The entire Xia family was shocked!
Even the head of the Xia family came out, and after discussion, they decided to send secret guards to investigate and see what was going on.
They did not act rashly and take the potatoes for themselves. After all, the potatoes had been reported to the court by Ning Yuanze, and it would be unwise to openly oppose the court.
But the potatoes are in Xizhou, and if they do something secretly, the court cannot interfere.
In this way, you can imagine how lively Chenjia Village will be.
Before this excitement arrived, Xiao Ying also welcomed a happy event, and finally broke through to the fifth level of Qi Refining!
This time the promotion took a bit of time, more than two months, and that was at three times the time flow rate. It can be seen that the speed becomes slower as time goes on.
However, when she reached the fifth level of Qi Refining, her strength increased significantly. With the strength of her five spiritual roots, she had no problem facing Ling Yun, Xiao Jin and others who were at the sixth level of Qi Refining.
As her strength increased, her appearance became younger again, as if she was twenty-three or twenty-four years old.
Her skin is soft and fair, and seems to be shining with a bright luster, making her even more beautiful like an angel.
More importantly, this time the space was indeed upgraded, and two hills appeared at once!
It can be said that the area expanded this time is more than twice the total before, which shows how wide the scope is.
These two hills form a triangle with the previous one and are of similar height. From a distance, some buildings can be seen on the top and bottom of the mountain.
She explored both hills.
The building on the first hill is the Good Deeds Hall, which is even more majestic and spacious than the Teaching Hall, and contains more good things.
After all, the Hall of Good Deeds is used to count the contributions of the disciples and exchange them for cultivation resources.
There are all kinds of skills, spirit stones, magic tools, talismans, various jade slips, storage bags, medicinal materials, spiritual materials, etc., and the quality is higher than those in the teaching hall.
It took Xiao Ying two hours just to count the supplies, which shows how abundant they were.
The building on the other mountain is the Spiritual Plant Department, which is responsible for the cultivation of spiritual plants and spiritual medicines in the entire outer sect.
There were a lot of things inside, and they were mainly various grains. The Guangling rice filled several storage bags, at least 300,000 kilograms, and the amount of other grains was no less than this.
There is also a part of prepared medicinal materials, which are very rich in variety, at least fifty or sixty kinds, basically meeting all the medicinal materials needed to refine primary elixirs.
What made Xiao Ying happiest was that he found a large number of spiritual herbs, and they were of high age. There were hundreds of plants that were a hundred years old, and several that were several hundred years old, but he had not seen any that were thousands of years old.
But these hundreds of years old are enough to allow her spiritual root value to reach 60.
Those with lower age are just right for the 28 newcomers to take and refine, and then everyone will be able to quickly enter the first level of Qi Refining.
In addition to these, what made her happiest were the spiritual fields and the ferocious beasts. The spiritual fields near the two hills added up to about 600 acres, and all of them grew various crops and spiritual medicines!
It seems that it is urgent to continue hiring people to farm.
There are quite a few ferocious beasts, and there are five or six of them at the sixth level of Qi Refining. Now I can replace the contracted beasts of the sixth level of Qi Refining for several children.
Xiao Jin, Xiao Qi and Xiao Tian can also be given one each, and a few more can be placed in the sect to guard.
"mother."
"master."
When she returned to the classroom, Chen Xinghai, Ling Yun and Xiao Jin immediately surrounded her, their eyes filled with indescribable shock and curiosity.
"Mom, have you entered the fifth level of Qi Refining? Congratulations!"
However, Chen Xinghai held back and did not ask immediately.
"Congratulations, Master, for entering the fifth level of Qi Refining!"
Ling Yun and Xiao Jin also congratulated in unison. They could sense the powerful spiritual power fluctuations from Xiao Ying, which was almost as strong as theirs.
No wonder the master said that the more spiritual roots the better, and this was fully demonstrated at this moment.
Xiao Ying nodded with a smile. Seeing that the three people were hesitant to speak, he couldn't help but say, "Just ask whatever you want to ask."
Xiao Jin, who was the most shocked by this, couldn't wait to ask, "Master, the sudden appearance of two more mountains outside is because you have entered the fifth level of Qi Refining?"
He didn't want to believe such a bizarre thing, but there seemed to be no other possible explanation besides this one.
