  PS: Please give me your monthly vote, thanks in the summer!

Half a month later, all the energy of Zhiren and Zhima was absorbed by Hua Twelve. He let out a long breath, opened his eyes, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes. The sword blank in his body was refined!

At this time, the sword blank in his dantian had completely condensed from a virtual shadow into a solid entity, and was not only madly devouring the innate divine power in his body, but also devouring his qi and blood elixir completely.

But Hua Twelve did not feel any negative impact. His strength and blood did not weaken at all. It was as if the sword blank had the same effect as a blood elixir.

The sword blank absorbed the divine energy very quickly. After it took shape, in less than a quarter of an hour, it had completely absorbed the innate divine energy in Hua Twelve's body.

Just when Hua Twelve felt empty inside and was confused, the sword blank suddenly exuded some green energy. Then he realized that this was the transformation process mentioned in the internal training chapter of "Nine Sword Forging Methods".

This green energy is the 'Spiritual Treasure Innate Sword Qi', which is equivalent to the true essence and mana of other cultivators, but it is very rare. Compared with his previous innate divine power, the ratio after conversion is only about one thousand to one.

But Hua Twelve could also feel that this 'Spiritual Treasure Innate Sword Qi' was extremely powerful, and its energy level clearly surpassed the fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth levels of the Innate Divine Gang.

Completing the sword blank should have been a happy thing, but Hua Twelve was somewhat dissatisfied.

  This is a Zhiren Zhima!

How could it bring him so little energy?

Looking at the thin 'Spiritual Treasure Innate Sword Qi' in his body, Hua Twelve felt a little unhappy.

Of course, no matter how unhappy he was, Hua Shier had made a breakthrough and he still went to show off to his senior brother as usual.

As a result, when Master Ji Le saw him for the first time, he was stunned:

"How is it possible? You have a spiritual aura, fairy-like skin and bones. Junior brother, you have actually cultivated a half-step fairy body. How did you do it?"

Hua Twelve looked down at himself and found nothing unusual. He was surprised and said:

"What do you mean by half-step immortal body? I just condensed it into a sword blank and succeeded in building the foundation!"

Li Jingxu ignored this guy's Versailles and shook his head, saying, "It's definitely not because of the foundation building. Have you eaten anything recently?"

"I get depressed just talking about this!"

  Hua Shier directly took out the body of Zhiren Zhima:

"Brother, look, the spirits that were cultivated by this thing, the mushrooms and horses, were swallowed alive by me, but they only succeeded in building the foundation, and I didn't feel any other benefits!"

  Looking at the colorful and fragrant Lingzhi grass, Li Jingxu was speechless:

"Did you eat the spirit of this thing?"

Hua Twelve put away the Ganoderma Lucidum and nodded: "I ate it too fast, I didn't taste anything!"

  Li Jingxu jumped with his short legs and jumped directly into Hua Twelve's arms, grabbing his neck with both hands:

"You loser, I'm going to strangle you to death!"

Even Ji Le Zhenren, who hadn't uttered a swear word for more than a thousand years, was so angry that he burst into swearing.

  Hua Twelve was so pinched that his tongue stuck out. At the critical moment, he didn't care about so many things in order to save himself. He spat at Li Jingxu.

Li Jingxu was an immortal after all, and he couldn't be as shameless as the emperor in front of him. He quickly returned to his original position and avoided the saliva attack, but his little face was still fierce, and he was obviously angry.

Hua Twelve wiped the corner of his mouth and said, "Fortunately, you dodged quickly, brother. The ascetic monk was in a miserable situation back then!"

  Li Jingxu was speechless. He had also seen that scene in secret. Master Ji Le pointed at Hua Twelve:

"Do you know how much of a spendthrift you are? If you take good care of those Zhi people and Zhi horses, they will release Zhi blood and spiritual liquid every year. You can use it to refine pills to improve the quality and double the efficacy. That's the way to make steady and long-term profits!"

  Even the Immortal Jile could imagine that if there was an endless supply of materials that could be used to refine elixirs, the glory of Qingcheng would be just around the corner!

Hua Twelve didn't think so, and didn't care at all. He just laughed:

"Brother, you are too greedy. You should know that what you eat belongs to you. This thing is an opportunity for the Emei Sect. I got it secretly. Why don't you eat it first and wait for others to snatch it back?"

Li Jingxu was stunned: "Emei opportunity? Tell me what's going on!"

Hua Twelve said with a smile: "I found this near the Suoyun Cave in Jiuhua Mountain. That is the dojo of Madam Xun Lanyin, the head of Emei!"

Li Jingxu suddenly realized that this was a rare opportunity that he had snatched from right under the nose of the Emei Sect.

Hua Twelve said again: "But this thing doesn't seem to be that powerful. I ate the Zhiren Zhima, and it just barely succeeded in building a foundation. I didn't feel any other benefits at all!"

Li Jingxu laughed in anger when he heard this: "You are already half a step away from becoming an immortal, what else do you want?"

Speaking of this, Hua Twelve was no longer sleepy and hurriedly asked what was going on.

Li Jingxu told Hua Twelve that after a cultivator has passed the tribulation and ascended to the sky, he will enter the Immortal Transformation Pool when he reaches the Lingkong Immortal Realm, where he will be reborn, purify his magic power and soul, and achieve an immortal body.

In Hua Twelve's current state, his body has become as slender as an immortal, but his 'spiritual innate sword energy' and soul have not been refined by the Immortal Transformation Pool, so he can only be called a half-step immortal body.

In this case, it should be that Hua Twelve ate the Zhiren and Zhima, and absorbed the benefits brought by their thousands of years of cultivation.

  Hua Twelve listened and thought about it carefully, then asked Li Jingxu in confusion:

"You don't feel anything special?"

  Li Jingxu sighed:

"You just don't know how to appreciate your good fortune. Not to mention that it takes twice the effort to cultivate your immortal muscles and bones, just take your life span as an example. Now you are immortal. Although you don't have the status of an earthly immortal, you are no different from a land immortal!"

Hua Shier didn't feel much about his longevity, as he had already used technology to achieve immortality. But when he heard that his qualifications for cultivation had increased, he became happy. After all, the "Nine Sword Forging Methods" were extremely difficult to cultivate.

After Li Jingxu finished speaking, he asked Hua Shier how he ended up at Jiuhua Mountain.

Hua Shier then told about his recent treasure hunt. Of course, he did not say that he went there on purpose to poach people from Emei, otherwise he could not explain why he knew about the opportunities in Emei in advance. He only said that when he was in seclusion, he suddenly had the urge to go out and hunt for treasure, and then he dug up a lot of good things.

Li Jingxu looked at the treasures that Hua Shier had displayed, including Gan Jiang, Moye, Sanyang Yiqi Sword, Qingmi Bottle, Chunyang Golden Pill, Danjing Sword Technique, etc., and was so surprised that his mouth couldn't close:

"You said you got all these treasures on a whim? What kind of whim is that? Why haven't I had it before?"

Hua Twelve chuckled and said, "Brother, if you were to reincarnate and be reborn as a female body, you would probably have a tide when you were a teenager. Although it's not the same as mine, you would definitely have a tide."

Li Jingxu is a thousand-year-old monster. Before Hua Shier could finish speaking, he realized that this guy was driving and directly released Tiandu Minghe to chase him and chop him.

After the laughter, Hua Twelve put away all the treasures:

"Alright, I just came out to get some fresh air and show off to you, then I'll go back to continue my retreat!"

At this point the sword blank has just been formed, and one still needs to retreat for a while to stabilize the state.

  Li Jingxu watched him put away the treasure and leave. Finally, before Hua Twelve left, he couldn't help but ask:

"Brother, have you ever considered giving me a few Pure Yang Golden Pills?"

He had wanted it for a long time, but due to his status, he waited for his junior fellow apprentice to offer it to him. However, this fellow showed no intention of sharing at all, so he just asked for it.

Hua Twelve was surprised: "Brother, didn't you cultivate the Yang God Body? When you gather energy, it becomes a shape, and when you release it, it becomes qi. Can you also eat the golden elixir?"

Li Jingxu felt his three corpses jumping up and down. What does it mean to release and become qi? That means to disperse and become qi. This grandson has no good words after getting familiar with him.

However, due to the immediate benefits, Li Jingxu calmed himself down in his heart: This world is so beautiful, the air is so fresh, my junior brother is my dear, I am not angry at all.

  Then he smiled:

"Who says Yang Shen can't take golden pills? I can still drink wine and eat meat. Well, Lu Yan is quite good at making pills. Junior brother, give me two so that I can have a taste of what they taste like!"

Hua Shier really wanted to say, "I've tasted it for you," and the chicken was very crispy, but after thinking about it, he decided not to. His senior brother was a great immortal master, and it was not easy for him to talk back, so he would not embarrass himself.

He took out the bottle of Pure Yang Golden Pill and handed it over: "Since it is useful to you, I will give it to you!"

Li Jingxu was really moved. The Pure Yang Golden Pill refined by Lu Chunyang could not only enhance one's skills, but also refine the Yin residue of the primordial spirit. For those who cultivated the primordial spirit, it was no exaggeration to say that it was a Pure Yang treasure. Yet his junior brother actually gave him an entire bottle.

Master Ji Le poured out two golden pills the size of a fingertip, carefully stored them away, and returned the rest:

"Thank you for your kindness, Junior Brother. However, two pills are enough. They will give me a little more confidence when I overcome the tribulation. Any more would be a waste!"

Li Jingxu also told Hua Shier about the benefits of the Pure Yang Golden Pill, and told him not to take it casually, but to wait until he was cultivating his primordial spirit before taking it, as it would be of great benefit.

When Hua Shier heard his senior brother say that two pills were enough, he took the rest without hesitation and said goodbye, saying that he would go back to retreat. After coming out of the Qin'an Palace and before returning to the Yangxin Palace, Cao Zhengchun appeared in front of him and reported two things.

One thing was that the imperial envoy who went to Fuso to enthrone the King of Fuso returned with the envoys from Fuso who came to express their gratitude.

The second thing was that the two imperial masters asked for a meeting outside the palace.

Hua Shier knew that Zhang Tianshi and Banbian Laoni wanted to see him and it must be about matters related to Emei Mountain, so he immediately asked the eunuch to invite the two imperial masters to the imperial study to wait for him, while he himself summoned the Fuso envoy to the Taihe Hall for an audience.

When they arrived at the Hall of Supreme Harmony, the imperial envoy going to Fuso came to the audience to report back and give instructions, and also reported on the progress of Fuso's trip.

Hua Shier summoned the Fuso envoy to the palace. He had seen the person before. He was from the Yagyu family. The envoy had obviously received etiquette training. After entering the palace, he bowed respectfully and performed the etiquette meticulously. Then he presented the official document of Fuso's submission to the Ming Dynasty.

With this document, Ming Dynasty's rule over Fuso was legal, not an invasion.

In fact, it doesn’t matter to Hua Twelve whether there is this document or not, but it is better to have it than not, at least it is legitimate.

Hua Shierzhu kept his promise to Yagyu Tajima no Kami and, in front of the Fuso envoy, conferred the title of Imperial Noble Consort on Yagyu Piaoxu to demonstrate the importance that the Ming Emperor attached to the Yagyu family.

The messenger was naturally grateful and extremely excited.

Of course, Hua Shier would not favor one over the other. He also conferred the titles of Shufei on Li Yingqiong and Zhuangfei on Zhou Qingyun.

After asking the Ministry of Revenue to select some gifts and have the Fuso envoy deliver them to Yagyu Tajima no Kami, he let the envoy leave.

Hua Shier went to the imperial study to meet Zhang Tianshi and Banbian Lao Ni.

It was only after he met the two imperial masters that Hua Shier finally understood what was going on.

It's funny to say that a while ago, Emei was running around looking for allies to support it, but because of the strength of the imperial court and the Imperial Master's Office, Emei's original allies were watching and undecided.

There was no help from Emei, but someone from Hua Twelve came forward to seek help.

Emei acts arrogantly and domineeringly, so naturally there are many people who dislike Emei, even Emei's opponents and enemies.

This time, these people all wanted to join the court to fight against Emei, so they nominated someone to come to the court to test the intentions of the emperor and the Imperial Master's Office. The person who was nominated was called Xu Fei Niang.

The old nun Banbian introduced Xu Fei's background to Hua Twelve.

This Xu Fei Niang had some friendship with her. She was a disciple of the Wutai Sect's Master Hunyuan. Later, she secretly fell in love with old Hunyuan and was accepted as a disciple by Master Hunyuan on his behalf. She became his junior sister, and the two later got married.

They were a pair of immortal lovers, but unfortunately, Patriarch Hunyuan died in a sword fight in Emei Sect fifty years ago, and the Wutai Sect fell apart. Xu Fei'niang became a rootless duckweed. This time she came to the court and brought important information about the Emei Sect!

When Hua Shier heard that it was Xu Fei Niang who came, he immediately became interested. The impression Xu Fei Niang gave him was that of Shen Gongbao in Fengshen Feng, who could always bring allies to fight against Emei, and was defeated repeatedly, but kept fighting. Now that she has come to him, she would be a good helper.

He immediately asked the two imperial masters, "Where is Xu Feiniang now?"

"Just wait outside the palace!"

"Xuan!"

While the eunuch was out delivering the order, Hua Twelve asked Zhang Tianshi and Banbian Old Nun:

"Is this Wutai sect a righteous sect or an evil sect?"

  Zhang Tianshi said objectively:

"It was originally a righteous sect. Mount Wutai is after all the place where Manjusri Bodhisattva practices. How could an evil sect establish a mountain gate there? However, the disciples that Old Hunyuan accepted were of mixed quality. When the Grandmaster Hunyuan was still alive, those disciples could still restrain themselves. But after the Grandmaster Hunyuan died, those people acted recklessly and were no different from the evil sects!"

Hua Shier nodded to show that he understood. If Xu Fei'niang surrendered, she would definitely bring a wave of enemies from Emei. He would not accept just anyone, so he would always be selective.

Soon, the eunuch brought Xu Fei'niang to the imperial study to meet the emperor.

She was a young Taoist nun with delicate and charming appearance. She looked no more than 20 years old. However, when introducing her to the Taoist priest, Banbian Nu had mentioned that Xu Feiniang had entered Taoism in the late Southern Song Dynasty.

Xu Fei Niang smiled and bowed politely: "I am Xu Fei Niang, I am honored to meet the Emperor!"

Hua Twelve asked someone to give him a seat, and then he said, "I can guess your purpose to some extent. I already know. Do you want to avenge the Hunyuan Patriarch, or do you want to rebuild the Wutai Sect?"

  Xu Fei Niang thought about it carefully, and did not answer immediately, but asked carefully:

"I dare to ask Your Majesty, what if Fei Niang wants to take revenge, and what about rebuilding the Wutai Sect?"

  Hua Twelve said calmly:

"If you want to rebuild the Wutai Sect, I will not accept you here. Just work hard on your own. If you only want to use the power of the court to deal with Emei and avenge your husband, then you must join the Imperial Master's Mansion. As long as I am here, you will be driven by the court!"

  Xu Fei's face changed several times, but soon returned to normal. She made a decision, stood up and saluted, saying:

"As long as I can avenge my late husband, Fei Niang is willing to be driven by the court and the emperor!"

She had no choice. Ever since the death of Patriarch Hunyuan, she had been secretly accumulating strength and contacting allies in an attempt to avenge her husband. However, fifty years had passed, and she had only seen Emei becoming more and more prosperous, so she almost gave up the idea.

However, Emei had only been against the imperial court for a short period of half a year, and it had suffered a series of losses. Now, it was even more hated by the imperial court and had a bad reputation. It was more evil than an evil sect, and more evil than a demon sect. This made Xu Fei'niang realize that perhaps only by surrendering to the imperial court could she take revenge with her own hands.

This led to this trip to the capital.

Xu Fei'niang was also resolute. After making the decision, she swore a great oath in front of Hua Shier, Zhang Tianshi, and Banbian Old Nun that she would never betray her husband as long as she could avenge her deceased husband.

Hua Twelve nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, tell me the news you brought about the Emei Sect!"

Xu Fei'niang then told the three of them about her discovery.

It turned out that after the death of Master Hunyuan, Xu Fei'niang lived in seclusion in Huangshan, buried her hatred in her heart, never talked about revenge, and became good friends with Madam Miaoyi of Emei Mountain, and often visited Suoyun Cave in Jiuhua Mountain.

This time, Emei suffered a loss against the imperial court, so Xu Feiniang wanted to surrender to the imperial court. However, before coming, she wanted to go to Madam Miaoyi to inquire about Emei's plans as a token of her surrender. Unexpectedly, she actually gained something from this trip.

Madam Miaoyi was not in the mountain, and there was only one disciple guarding the gate left in the Suoyun Cave. Xu Fei'niang was familiar with the disciple, and after half a day, she found out the secrets of Emei.

However, Emei sealed off the Ningbi Cliff and sent all the troops to Changbai Mountain outside the Great Wall to open a detached residence.

Xu Fei'niang felt that there was something else going on. After leaving the Suoyun Cave, she looked for the relationships she had established in the past and inquired about the secrets. She actually found out that the Emei Sect wanted to emulate the Chan Sect in the past, push the world's development, gain the merit of following the dragon, and obtain the merits and fortune of the Heavenly Dao.

Hua Twelve was so angry that he laughed after hearing this: "What a decent Emei sect, now they have become traitors!"

Zhang Tianshi sighed and said, "King Wu's attack on King Zhou was ultimately a fight between the descendants of Yan and Huang. The Tartars outside the Great Wall are barbarians. Master Miaoyi's move was a foolish one!"

Hua Twelve was also furious: "Since the Emei Sect has surrendered to the enemy and betrayed the country, don't blame me for being cruel and ruthless!"

He immediately replaced Cao Zhengchun and issued an edict that from now on, all death row prisoners in the world would be taken to the Ningbi Cliff of Mount Emei and executed.

Journey to the West wrote about Lion Camel Ridge: "There are skulls like a mountain, and bones like a forest. Human hair has turned into felt, and human flesh has rotted into dust. Human tendons are entangled in trees, dry and charred, shining like silver. It is truly a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood, and the stench is truly unbearable."

  Hua Shier read the original text to Cao Zhengchun, and then told him, "Make the area near Ningbi Cliff look like this for me. I want it to be exactly the same, without any difference!"

Isn’t Emei a fairyland? I will turn it into a hell on earth, a den of evil spirits, ruin your feng shui, and destroy your cave.

  Zhang Tianshi, Banbian Laonu and Xu Fei's mother all took a deep breath at the same time. This emperor is such a ruthless man!

But they didn't expect that this was not the end. Hua Shier turned around and privately instructed the East Factory and the Embroidered Uniform Guard to investigate the secular identities of the Emei people before they became enlightened.

Find the ancestral graves of these people, dig them up, and bring back the remains of their ancestors. Hua Shier wants to make zombies himself.

  Not only will the feng shui of the Emei people's ancestral tombs be destroyed, but when the two sides start fighting, Hua Shier will use the bones of the Emei people's ancestors to perform a live disco, and see how you, Emei, can fight me!

　Thanks to: 08a, Brother Xiao Xiaohu in the Demon World for the reward, and thanks to the brothers who voted for monthly votes and recommendation votes, thank you very much.
