From martial arts apprentice to Dagan martial artist

Chapter 417 Primordial Stone Mine
Li Yi walked into the palace city, and the old eunuch walked ahead to guide him as usual.

Soon came to a palace, the decoration of the palace is not gorgeous, but very simple, which is rare in this inner city.

"Your Majesty, what is your business with me?"

Li Yi walked into the palace alone, and asked Emperor Taiping beside him.

"Ai Qing is here!"

Emperor Taiping laughed, and seemed to be in a particularly good mood.

"Come and sit down and have a meal with me."

He greeted very enthusiastically.

Immediately, a palace official brought a set of tables, chairs, bowls and chopsticks, and placed them under the hall.

Although Li Yi wondered why Emperor Taiping asked him to come here early in the morning, he didn't ask much at this time.

Sit down and eat directly.

What Emperor Taiping ate for breakfast looked no different from what ordinary people ate.

The reality is quite different.

For example, this carefully cooked millet porridge, as far as Li Yi knows, is a royal tribute, and only more than two hundred stones are produced a year.

Even the water for watering the rice is made of spiritual water rich in wood energy.

The price of this kind of rice can no longer be estimated simply by Yuanshi, because the production is extremely rare, and it will not be circulated at all.

There are also some in Li Yi's family, which were bestowed by Emperor Taiping.

If we want to say how precious this rice is, it is not always true.

If you only talk about the grade, it is not even a precious medicine.

But because of its scarcity and the fact that it is a royal tribute, it is so precious.

There are also these few side dishes, each of which is quite expensive, but it just looks ordinary.

"I heard that you also went to the ancestral temple to send a betrothal gift. Could it be that you also married a woman from the ancestral temple?"

Emperor Taiping's face was full of gossip, and he asked curiously.

He was very curious about how Li Yi was so deeply involved with the ancestral temple.

How could I go to the ancestral temple just once and be able to give the ancestral temple a betrothal gift?
Could it be that he wants to marry someone from the ancestral temple.

If it was so easy, he would be able to marry Li Yi.

Emperor Taiping felt that he could try it too, since he had many daughters anyway.

But he felt that it shouldn't be, and Emperor Taiping had mentioned this matter cryptically before.

It's just that Li Yi declined every time.

"Uh……"

Li Yi was taken aback, he didn't expect Emperor Taiping to ask this question.

"This matter is a long and complicated story. If His Majesty wants to hear it, I will speak slowly."

He considered his tone and spoke.

"Oh! Let's hear it?"

Emperor Taiping's face was even more curious. Of course he knew that Li Yi went to the ancestral temple to give the dowry first.

It's not that he paid attention to it deliberately. The Ministry of Rites also put a lot of effort into Li Yi's marriage. In addition, he did it openly and aboveboard in sending the dowry to the ancestral temple, without any cover.

So not only Emperor Taiping, but many people know about it.

For this reason, Li Yi specially explained to Zhao Qian and everyone in Yunya Jiange.

"It's a long story, and we have to start with Sifang City..."

Li Yi took a deep breath and began to tell Emperor Taiping about a series of things about his master Zhao Baichuan.

Of course, he didn't tell Emperor Taiping about some of the more secretive things, such as things that might go wrong with the ancestral temple formation.

After spending a lot of time in this way, he just explained the whole story.

"I didn't expect this to be so ups and downs."

Emperor Taiping sighed softly, this matter is indeed a bit of a bizarre coincidence.

Emperor Taiping also knew that Li Yi should have hidden some important information, but he didn't intend to ask.

When the water is clear, there will be no fish, and when the emperor is in the clear, there will be no ministers.

Emperor Taiping knew this truth very well, so even if he knew that Li Yi had concealed something from himself about this matter, he would not pursue it.

It's just that the original plan to find a girl to betroth to Li Yi was completely defeated.

After all, no one would have thought that Li Yi would be able to give two betrothal gifts when he married a single person.

"I still have to thank you this time. If I hadn't organized a martial arts competition at your banquet, I'm afraid it would not be so easy for me to compare myself with others."

Emperor Taiping laughed.

He knew that if it weren't for the opportunity of Li Yi's banquet, it would definitely not be so easy for him to organize the major forces to compete.

Those forces that share the same spirit as Dagan naturally listen to him, and the rest of the neutral forces that belong to Dagan's territory may also participate.

But those forces from Daying and those who are in the same spirit as Daying will never sell his face.

And his biggest purpose is to see the power to win the court, if he can't do this, then the martial arts competition is meaningless.

"It is the duty of a subject to solve problems for His Majesty, and I dare not ask His Majesty to thank you."

Li Yi said quickly.

Emperor Taiping laughed when he heard the words, and was very satisfied with Li Yi's attitude from the bottom of his heart.

"With your current cultivation strength, I don't know what to reward you for."

Emperor Taiping spoke after a little thought.

"There are two high-grade Yuanshi mines in Shanzhou that have not yet been mined, so you can take them."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Li Yi quickly thanked him with a very happy expression on his face.

A high-grade primordial stone mine is mined, and the obtained primordial stones range from hundreds of thousands to millions.

Of course, there must be a lot of loss in mining, and it needs the help of many warriors to mine.

Mining primordial stones is not an easy job, except for primordial stones that contain a lot of heaven and earth vitality in the primordial stone mine.

There are many miscellaneous ores that are useless.

And because the Yuanshi Mine is deep underground, the transmission of spiritual thoughts and inner energy has been hindered by countless obstacles.

Even for warriors, there are many difficulties in mining.

But even if you don't mine yourself, you can directly lease these two mines to others for mining.

At least he can make a profit of millions of Yuanshi.

Of course, if you can spare enough time, you can mine by yourself.

Although it is slower, but with his own strength and the exercises he has practiced, he should be able to completely absorb the vitality of heaven and earth contained in the Yuanshi Mine within two months at most.

After all, I only need to absorb the vitality in the Yuanshi mine, and I don't need to mine it bit by bit.

This is due to the fact that in the depths of the ground, the transmission of one's internal energy is too much affected.

If not, in the blink of an eye, Li Yi would be able to absorb the vitality contained in the millions of yuan stones.

If it weren't for the fact that the Yuanshi veins were hard to find, Li Yi might have been underground, looking for countless Yuanshi veins.

The reason he didn't do it was because it was too slow.

It takes too long for the spiritual thoughts to be transmitted underground. Even with the power of the primordial spirit, it may not be possible to find too many primordial stone veins.

Just relying on one person to explore, the time wasted is completely out of proportion to the harvest.

Because all the most sought-after primordial stone veins in the world have already been found, and they belong to the owner.

It's just that there is no need for too many primordial stones, so they have been buried deep in the ground and have not been excavated.

It is this kind of mineral vein that Emperor Taiping rewarded himself.

It is too time-consuming to search for the hard-to-find primordial stone veins by yourself, and it may not be possible to find one after several years of searching.

So Li Yi didn't waste time doing this kind of thing, he had a better and faster way to get enough primordial stones.

"I still have political affairs to deal with, so I won't keep you any longer."

Emperor Taiping spoke softly, the things that need to be understood have been discussed, and the rewards that need to be done have also been resolved.

If nothing happened, he would like to play two games with Li Yi.

It's just that as the lord of a country, there are too many things waiting for him to deal with and understand.

"My minister retire."

Li Yi smiled and got up to leave.

He knew it was really good to hang out with Emperor Taiping.

Didn't do anything early in the morning, first got two Yuanshi mines.

Where can such a good thing be found!

Li Yi returned to his courtyard and immediately started writing letters to the various forces.

The people who came here this time were not the principals of the major forces. Although they had high status, they might not be able to make up their minds about renting a blessed land.

So Li Yi was going to write a letter to record the general situation in Yao Mysterious Territory.

Let people from these forces go back with a letter. If they intend to cooperate, they will meet in Jingdu, Jingzhou, fifteen days later.

Of course, he is not invited by every force, mainly the Nine Sects of the Righteous Path, and several top families among the ten clans in the world.

In addition, there is also the Jing Clan, a first-class family in Jingzhou. I have to do a lot of things in Jingzhou, and the Mysterious Demon Realm is also in Jingzhou.

If I can pull them in, things will be much more convenient.

Another more important point is that the Jingzhou Jing family is rich enough.

Apart from the Jing clan, he also invited several other top-notch first-class forces.

The only thing these top-notch forces have in common is that they are rich.

Since Li Yi wants to rent out the blessed land in the secret territory, the one with the highest price must get it.

He doesn't care whether the people renting this area are the Nine Sects of the Righteous Way or the Ten Clans of the World, as long as they are the forces of the Righteous Way, abide by the rules set by him, and can offer a sufficient price.

If he is weak, he may consider the balance between the various forces, because as a weak person, if he wants to keep the mysterious demon realm and obtain some benefits from it, he needs to keep these forces in balance.

But he is strong enough now, so there is no need to care too much.

With his strength, it is completely enough to control the entire demon mysterious realm.

He recorded all this information in the jade slips, along with a rough map of the Mysterious Demon Realm.

In the end, he left his own imprint of internal energy in the jade slips, and the heads or suzerains of these forces may not know his imprint of internal energy.

But it can definitely be seen that this is the imprint of the internal energy left by the strong man, and this is enough.

After finishing these, he sent people to send these jade slips one after another.

Then he didn't have to do anything, he just went to the capital of Jingzhou in half a month.

Even if the power that got the jade slips didn't want to rent the blessed land in the mysterious territory of Yao, Li Yi would still go there for the sake of Li Yi's sake.

What's more, the opportunity to obtain a blessed land is extremely rare.

It's still a blessed place in the extremely rare mystical realm like the Mystic Demon Realm.

This kind of opportunity is extremely rare for the major forces, and they will definitely not give up.

If one more blessed land can be obtained, the power within the influence can be fundamentally strengthened.

If Yunya Jiange could only occupy one blessed land with the current strength of Yunya Jiange, Yun Lichen would definitely rent another area in Yaomystical Territory.

Don't think too much about this opportunity to get one more blessed land, the major forces will definitely not let it go.

They will definitely come, and I can just take this opportunity to raise the price even higher.

Li Yi plans to use the primordial stones he earned this time to improve his refining skills and cultivation strength.

As the letters were sent out, the major forces also replied one after another, saying that they would definitely go.

As for whether to rent a blessed land in the Mysterious Yao territory, that still has to be discussed with them.

Li Yi didn't urge him either, but just waited silently.

He didn't stay in Daqian God for long, Zhao Qian is now in retreat.

Li Yi went to Daying alone, so he could spend this time with Wei Ning.

Besides, as the head of the Supervision Department of Daying, there are still many things that should be done, and Wei Ning cannot leave them all.

In the following days, he was either studying the art of refining soldiers or accompanying Wei Ning every day.

After half a month of leisurely time, Li Yi left for Jingzhou.

…………

…………

Outside the mysterious world of demons, the scenery remains the same.

Without the leak of vitality in the mysterious territory of the demon, the world here becomes ordinary again.

The violent vitality leaked out of that battle destroyed the surrounding area.

But compared to the entire Cangyu World, these violent vitality are completely worthless, and will be quickly worn away.

Without so much violent vitality, the environment here is slowly recovering.

However, the recovery of these collapsed rocks and ancient trees that have grown for a long time is definitely not a short-term effort.

After Li Yi arrived here, he directly opened the door of the secret realm, ensuring that anyone who came here could find the door of the secret realm and enter it.

There are many advantages to talking about renting out the Mysterious Demon Territory here. It can be very convenient for the restricted area, and let them see the benefits of the blessed land in the Mysterious Demon Territory.

There are already many warriors coming and going in the Mysterious Yao territory.

Most of them are disciples of Yunya Jiange, and some are disciples from Tianhuo Valley.

Those disciples hardly meet each other because the distance between the two blessed places is very far.

They are all building around their own blessed land at this time.

Li Yi didn't wait long in the mysterious Yao territory, and someone came soon.

The first person to come was the patriarch of the Jing clan. He looked about thirty years old, with a smile on his face and a kind face.

"Li Guogong."

After seeing Li Yi, Patriarch Jing hurriedly bowed to salute.

"Please wait a moment, other people will come one after another."

Li Yi said softly.

Beside him were tables and chairs that he had already prepared, on which pots of Enlightenment tea were brewing.

Seven or eight disciples of Yunya Jiange were temporarily pulled by him to help.

Li Yi's status in Yunya Jiange is quite high now, certainly not as good as Yun Lichen, but compared with ordinary elders, he is still much stronger.

So it's no problem to bring in a few disciples of Yunya Jiange to help.

Li Yi would not let them be busy in vain, and each of them took two high-grade primordial stones.

For him, this is a small amount of money, but for these Yunya Jiange disciples in the Houtian realm, it is definitely a lot of money.

Therefore, these disciples put their heart and soul into the things he explained.

Then came the current suzerain of Xuanyin Sect, He Qingwen.

Wearing a plain robe, she has a plump body and a good face. She looks only 23 or 170 years old, but her actual age is about [-].

"Li Guogong."

She smiled and bowed her hands.

"Please ask Sect Master He to wait a moment and wait for the rest of the people to come."

Li Yi also bowed his hand in return.

With the arrival of Xuanyin Sect Master, the contemporary Taoist master of Taishang Daomen also came to the mysterious realm of Yao.

He was dressed in Taoist robes and his face was like a crown of jade. He looked at most over 20 years old, but in fact he was over 150 years old.

Immediately afterwards, the owner of Miaoyin Pavilion and the owner of Medicine King Valley came hand in hand.

The master of the Miaoyin Pavilion, dressed in a gauze skirt, has an exquisite figure and a delicate and handsome face.

The owner of Yaowang Valley has a simple face, with a strong bookish air, like a scribe.

Later, with the arrival of these two people, the principals of other major powers also came one after another.

The patriarchs of the Ji and Jiang clans, the suzerain of Wanshan Gate and the abbot of Honglian Temple all rushed to the mysterious Yao territory.

As for the Ying family and the Daqian royal family, Li Yi did not invite them.

Yao Mysterious Realm is located in Jingzhou, not far from Daying Shenjing.

It is definitely impossible for Da Ying to let the Daqian royal family station here, because that is too dangerous and always a hidden danger.

As a minister of Dagan, it would be unreasonable for Li Yi to rent the blessed land he owns to the Daying royal family but not to the Dagan royal family.

Therefore, he did not invite the royal families of the two countries.

He didn't even invite the forces that had too much involvement with the imperial courts of the two countries.

This can avoid trouble to the greatest extent.

The mysterious demon is located in Jingzhou, if the forces he invites are too deeply involved with Dagan.

Even if the Daying court looked at Li Yi's strength and face, they would not directly drive these people out of Jingzhou.

But they will definitely find ways to increase their defenses and keep a close watch on these people, because as long as they exist, they are a hidden danger.

Li Yi is still a high-ranking official now, and he can have some contacts with the big winning forces and the winning clan, but it is not good to get involved too deeply.

Therefore, in order to avoid these troubles, the forces he invited were basically neutral in the struggle between the two countries.

"Everyone can come, I think I have read the letter I sent to you, I don't know what you think, whether you plan to rent an area."

Li Yi laughed and glanced at the principals of many forces.

"My Xuanyin Sect has already discussed what Li Guogong said. There is an area in the secret territory, which is very beneficial to our sect. We intend to rent it."

Sovereign Xuanyin spoke first.

The blessed land in the Mysterious Yao territory is limited, not to mention that there are two other places that have already been rented out.

And the other place where the formations gather is also a high-grade blessed place, but it involves ancient formations, and its value is immeasurable, so it is naturally impossible for Li Yi to rent it out.

Even in his letters to the major forces, that area was completely gray and nothing could be seen.

There are only seven blessed lands that Li Yi rented out, of which three are high-grade blessed lands, and the remaining four are middle-grade blessed lands.

However, there were a total of fifteen forces present at the scene.

So there must be forces that will return empty-handed.

Every additional blessed land can increase the foundation of one's own strength.

There is no such opportunity that you can miss, not to mention Li Yi's character is trustworthy.

If other people were to do this, those in charge of these powerful forces might have doubts.

But Li Yi's good reputation accumulated before made it very smooth for him to do this.

"I'm too good at the Taoist sect, and I have exactly the same intention!"

The contemporary Taoist master of the Taishang Taoist school hastily opened his mouth.

The principals of many other forces also quickly opened their mouths, expressing their intention to rent an area in a secret territory.

"I know what everyone thinks. Since I rent out these blessed lands, we will be the ones with the highest bids. But I hope everyone bids reasonably, so as not to hurt the peace."

Li Yi spoke loudly.

Although he said that he was going to let the major forces bid for the price, choose the highest bidder, and rent out these blessed lands.

But he didn't intend to cheat the major forces.

These perks can be rented out, but within a reasonable price range.

If it exceeds the original reasonable price too much, it is suspected of deliberately deceiving others.

Since they are called to come to discuss cooperation, the best result is a win-win situation, and everyone can benefit.

This way the business can last for a long time.

Li Yi may rent the blessed land to the major forces next time, leaving a good reputation, which will definitely be of great benefit to the next cooperation.

Hearing Li Yi's words, those in charge of many forces undoubtedly had a better impression of Li Yi in their hearts.

They all admired secretly in their hearts, Li Yiguo is really a pure and honest person.

It is definitely a good thing for them to be able to cooperate with such people, at least they don't have to worry about the other party secretly harming themselves.

"Don't worry Li Guogong, I will understand."

Pavilion Master Miaoyin spoke first, and many other forces quickly expressed their understanding.

"Okay, then let's start auctioning off the rental rights of these blessed lands."

Li Yi said with a smile.
