From the fake emperor to the concubine

Zheng Yi's teeth were grinding.

The thunder raging in his body seemed to cut off piece by piece his flesh and blood.

This is because the thunder tribulation was greatly weakened by those makeshift lightning rods.

If it was a complete version of the thunder, he would probably have been reduced to ashes.

Just before Zheng Yi’s consciousness was about to disappear completely.

The raging thunderbolts suddenly calmed down. As the severe pain disappeared, the golden elixir in his body produced an inexplicable suction force.

All the power that was raging in his body flowed towards Zheng Yi's golden elixir and entered into it.

With the influx of these forces, the golden elixir became more and more solid and stable.

The thunder stopped and the clouds in the sky slowly dissipated.

Zheng Yi looked as miserable as he could be on the tribulation stage.

His entire body was pitch black, and he looked like a piece of charcoal. There were burns all over his body, and many parts of his body were even carbonized.

There are tens of thousands of people who can survive the tribulation on the Tribulation Platform in the Xingxiu Sea, excluding those who fail and die.

Even those who barely survived looked much better than Zheng Yi now.

Seeing that he didn't move, the disciples of Xingxiu Sea began to whisper.

"What's going on? Did this guy succeed in overcoming the tribulation, or did he fail?"

"It looks like it succeeded, right? Otherwise, it would have been blown to pieces long ago, and it would have been impossible to maintain its current state."

"But he's in such a state right now that I don't know whether he's dead or alive. I can't sense any breath at all."

"Even if he didn't make it to the last step, it's already amazing. A cultivator in the Crystallization Stage was able to survive such a terrifying heavenly tribulation without the help of any magic weapon. If it were me, I'm afraid I wouldn't even be able to survive the first three waves."

"No wonder the master wants this man to be the elder worshiper of our Xingxiu Sea. He is indeed quite capable."

"So what? A dead person is of no use."

Ordinary disciples, due to their own limitations, are unable to know Zheng Yi's current condition.

The powerful elders and masters in the sect could see it clearly.

Zheng Yi has now survived the heavenly tribulation and is now condensing the golden elixir in his body.

It was precisely because of this that they felt even more shocked.

"Am I seeing right? Is this the level of cultivation that one can achieve in the early stage of the Golden Core?" Wang Haiweng gasped and couldn't help but exclaimed.

As a hospitality elder, he has to face all kinds of monks every day, and he has long since developed a character that does not show his emotions.

But when he saw Zheng Yi's increasingly condensed golden elixir, Wang Haiweng still couldn't control his mouth.

If he is like this, let alone the other elders.

“If I hadn’t seen this kid transcend the tribulation with my own eyes, I wouldn’t have believed it even if someone told me he was in the middle stage of the Golden Core.”

"Not only that, this person is almost reaching the peak of the Golden Core stage. He is really an unpredictable little monster."

Zhou Yan's expression was as ugly as it could be. Seeing that his disciple was so excited that he almost cheered out loud, he became even more unhappy.

Before Lin Feng could speak, he snorted coldly: "Why are you still staying here? I'm tired, help me to rest."

"Ah?" Lin Feng was stunned.

Although my master gives people a feeling of being old-fashioned, he is, after all, a master in the Spirit Transformation Stage.

When will I need his support?

But since the master had spoken, Lin Feng did not dare to resist, and quickly held Zhou Yan's arm, saying in a flattering manner: "Master, please go slowly, be careful of the steps."

Before leaving, he looked back in the direction of Zheng Yi with nostalgia.

How he wanted to go and congratulate Senior Zheng in person on his breakthrough to become a Jindan cultivator.

Wen Ziyan's eyes sparkled: "Zheng Yi, you have brought me another huge surprise."

The other party's successful breakthrough meant that when practicing the dual cultivation method, it would bring her more benefits, and she would be one step closer to achieving spiritual enlightenment.

"Give the Raw Chicken Bone Restoring Pill to Elder Zheng, and make him a set of clothes as soon as possible."

"As for the others, just go away."

After the master spoke, the disciples naturally did not dare to stay on the Tribulation Platform any longer, and they all returned to the sect to take care of their own affairs.

but……

The elders in charge of the affairs, however, did not move a single step.

"Welcome back to the mountain, Master!" Several elders saluted Wen Ziyan in unison.

Wen Ziyan knew that they were not interested in drinking, so she waved her hand impatiently and said, "Everyone, get up. If you have anything to say, please tell me now. I have to practice in seclusion for a while."

She had just finished dual cultivation with Zheng Yi, and the pure spiritual energy that Zheng Yi fed back to her had not yet been fully refined.

Although there is not much spiritual energy here, it is much purer than her own spiritual energy. There is no way to use it directly for herself, and it needs to be refined separately.

Wen Ziyan was worried about Zheng Yi's safety and had no time to do these things.

Elders, you look at me and I look at you.

Although Wen Ziyan looked calm, they did not dare to speak easily.

Finally, Lin Junrong stood up and said, "Master, I heard that you want this person to serve as the worship elder of our Xingxiu Sea?" She pointed at Zheng Yi who was still refining the golden elixir, and there was dissatisfaction in her tone.

Wen Ziyan had a faint smile on her face: "Xiao Junjun, do you think it's not okay?"

Lin Junrong said with a straight face: "I admit that he is indeed very strong. None of us, when we were in the Golden Core Stage, had the same level of cultivation as him."

"But no matter what, he is only a Jindan-stage cultivator. Allowing such a person to become the worship elder of our Xingxiu Sea will make us Xingxiu Sea the laughing stock of all the sects."

With Lin Junrong taking the lead, the other elders also let go.

"Yes, Master, we don't mean to oppose you, but this matter is of great importance, so please don't act on your own."

"If this kid was at the Spiritual Transformation Stage, I would definitely not object. But for the Golden Core Stage... please take back your decision, Master."

"If the headmaster really thinks highly of this boy, we can choose another position for him, but we absolutely cannot give him the position of the elder."

Wen Ziyan looked at them with a smile, she knew exactly what these people were thinking.

Although the title of a worship elder will have a certain impact on Xingxiu Sea, this impact is almost negligible.

After all, even if someone knew what she did, at most they would think that she, as the leader, was ridiculous.

What these elders are really concerned about is actually something else.

Cultivation resources that can break through all the way to the Spirit Transformation Stage.

Even for the entire Xingxiu Sea, this is still an extremely precious thing.

Even if this kind of resource is given to the disciples of Xingxiu Sea, it will cause a life-and-death struggle.

Not to mention, Wen Ziyan has now given the resources to outsiders.

When the elders were silent, Wen Ziyan swept her gaze over them one by one with a teasing look: "Are you done?"

When the elders of the sect heard this, their hearts tightened immediately, and they all lowered their heads and dared not look at Wen Ziyan. Although Wen Ziyan looked like a well-behaved little sister next door.

Perhaps in this cruel world of cultivation, whoever sits on the position of the leader of a sect is not a simple character?

"Listen carefully, I am informing you about recruiting Zheng Yi to become the elder of Xingxiu Sea, not discussing it with you. Do you understand?"

The elders all had dark faces. Although they were extremely reluctant, no one dared to contradict Wen Ziyan in person.

After all, Wen Ziyan's title of Poison Queen is not just because she is the best master in poison-related skills in Canglan Realm.

"Don't feel unconvinced." After suppressing the arrogance of these elders, Wen Zi Yan suddenly smiled gently.

"There is a reason why I spent so much effort to recruit Zheng Yi to join our Xingxiu Sea."

Unfortunately, no one believed her.

In the elders’ view, no matter what the reason is, the Jindan stage is the Jindan stage, not to mention what benefits his joining can bring to Xingxiu Sea.

The resources of the Spirit Transformation Stage alone... are not something that Zheng Yi, a Golden Core Stage cultivator, can compare with.

Just when they were secretly complaining in their hearts, Wen Ziyan's words shocked them all so much that they couldn't close their mouths.

"Zheng Yi has a special physique. Practicing dual cultivation with him can greatly increase the speed of cultivation."

"what?"

"Master, are you telling the truth?"

“How much can it be improved?”

When the elders heard that it could increase their cultivation speed, their eyes suddenly turned red.

"I don't know how much the ordinary disciples can improve. But even I have improved a little after practicing dual cultivation with that kid."

“It’s a small improvement, but it does help.”

"Hiss..." Upon hearing this, the elders of Xingxiu Sea all couldn't help but gasp.

Wen Ziyan is the leader of their Xingxiu Sea, and her strength is also the strongest in the sect.

Her cultivation had reached a bottleneck a hundred years ago. How difficult would it be to make further progress?

But for such a person like Wen Ziyan, her cultivation level actually improved after practicing dual cultivation with Zheng Yi?

All of a sudden, everyone looked at Zheng Yi with fiery eyes.

After all, there are several of them who have not been able to improve their cultivation for many years and have never found an opportunity to break through.

If Zheng Yi was just an ordinary Jindan stage cultivator, they might not have taken it too seriously.

But Zheng Yi had just broken through and his cultivation was comparable to that of the peak of the Golden Core Realm.

The special physique is self-evident.

When Wen Ziyan saw the eager looks on their faces, she knew that what she thought was right.

Before practicing dual cultivation with Zheng Yi, Wen Ziyan had actually made the decision to keep Zheng Yi at a huge price.

As the leader of Xingxiu Sea, her vision is much longer than those elders.

She could vaguely guess that the scale of this war between the two tribes was absolutely unprecedented.

No matter who wins or loses, the power of the entire Canglan world will be completely reshuffled.

Although Xingxiuhai is also a top-level sect, the top level is completely different from the top level.

For example, in the Qingtian Sword Sect where Fang Zhuo is, in addition to him, a master of enlightenment, there are as many as twenty-one masters in the Light Transformation God Stage.

Or the number one master in Canglan Realm, Shen Weiyao of Biluo Huangquan, is located in Jinghang Mountain, where there are as many as seventeen masters in the God Transformation Stage.

On the other hand, in their Xingxiu Sea, there are nine masters in the Spirit Transformation stage, but not a single master in the Enlightenment stage.

These are just the forces that the major sects display on the surface.

But even if they have some reservations, those sects that appear to be stronger have more hidden power?

There are completed eggs under the overturned nest.

Even the most powerful sects may not be able to protect themselves, let alone the Xingxiu Sea.

So, after hearing what Su Yao said about Zheng Yi, Wen Ziyan had already made up her mind.

No matter what the cost, Zheng Yi must be recruited to Xingxiu Sea.

Only his wisdom may give Xingxiu Sea a chance to survive in the future chaos.

The elders may not be able to see these things, so even if they are told the reasons, they probably won't believe it.

Therefore, the best way is naturally to exchange benefits.

But Wen Ziyan didn't expect that since they met, Zheng Yi has never stopped bringing her surprises.

The role that Zheng Yi could play was to firmly grasp the weak points of these elders.

It cost her almost nothing to solve the problem.

Zheng Yi, who was practicing martial arts, suddenly felt a series of fiery gazes falling on him.

Those gazes seemed to be able to ignite him directly.

Under such circumstances, even he couldn't calm down and practice.

He opened his eyes and met the elders of Xingxiu Sea, whose eyes were like those of hungry wolves.

Zheng Yi subconsciously took a few steps back and almost covered his chest with his hands.

Clearly, not long ago, these elders of the Xingxiu Sea were wishing that he would be struck to death by the heavenly calamity. Why did their attitude suddenly change so drastically?

Wen Ziyan cleared her throat: "Calm down a bit, everyone. Look at what you look like now."

"I will naturally tell Zheng Yi about that. I'm sure he won't refuse the opportunity to contribute to our Xingxiu Sea."

The elders were reluctant to leave and distanced themselves from Zheng Yi.

However, the look in their eyes was still like Zhu Bajie seeing the ginseng fruit.

How could Zheng Yi not understand what they meant?
After all, this is the purpose of Zheng Yi joining Xingxiu Sea!

Of course, on the surface, Zheng Yi pretended to know nothing. He laughed dryly and said, "Master, it seems that the elders of the sect are quite dissatisfied with me."

Wen Zi Yan didn't think much about it, but just glared at her elders fiercely.

"Don't worry, that's not what they mean."

Xingxiu Sea, the sect’s meeting hall.

Wen Ziyan told Zheng Yi everything they had discussed before.

"This concerns the future development of Xingxiu Sea, so you should have no problem with it, right, Elder Zheng?" Wen Ziyan's tone was full of unquestionable tone.

Zheng Yi's old face was filled with embarrassment. "I... I don't have any problem. It's just... isn't this a bit bad?"

As soon as Zheng Yi finished speaking, Lin Junrong said anxiously: "Elder Zheng, don't worry. Our world is different from Mr. Zheng's original world. As long as you can improve your cultivation, dual cultivation is a very common thing without a confirmed Taoist partner."

The other elders were also afraid that Zheng Yi would not be able to get over the hurdle in his heart, so they all tried to persuade him. (End of this chapter)
