From the fake emperor to the concubine

As an emperor, one does not need to have superb military power or profound knowledge, and he does not even necessarily need to understand planting and production.

But there is one thing that an emperor must understand and apply skillfully.

That depends on the person.

As an emperor, you need to know what a person is suitable for and put him in a suitable position.

Using the right person can, at the very least, make the best use of resources, and at the most, it can bring peace to the world.

If the wrong person is employed, at best the government affairs will be neglected, and at worst the world will be in chaos.

Such things have happened too many times in Zheng Yi's original world.

Unconsciously, Zheng Yi naturally developed a set of unknown unique skills.

When his cultivation was low, this method of judging people rarely made mistakes. As his cultivation improved, his ability to judge people became more and more accurate.

This is also why, after just a brief communication, Zheng Yi accepted Wen Ziyan’s invitation to join Xingxiu Sea.

Even the martial arts he created in Xingxiu Sea was taught to Wen Ziyan so openly?
Although this girl from Xingxiu Sea looks like a gentle and elegant girl, she is actually an ambitious woman.

Of course, for Zheng Yi, ambitious is not a derogatory term. The key is whether a person's tolerance matches his ambition.

Zheng Yi has tried this more than once.

In order to make Xingxiu Sea flourish, Wen Ziyan is willing to give a lot.

In Wen Ziyan's eyes, as long as the benefits that Zheng Yi can bring are far greater than his own, the other party will not do anything bad to him under any circumstances.

However, if the situation is the opposite. When Wen Ziyan finds out that Zheng Yi's existence may threaten Xingxu Sea, or even that the benefits gained by detaining Zheng Yi are far greater than the benefits he brings to Xingxu Sea, then Wen Ziyan will definitely not be polite when she takes action.

Precisely because of his confidence in his ability to judge people, Zheng Yi was absolutely sure the moment he saw these ten cultivators.

Among the four monks in front of him, the most powerful one is not the guy who looks arrogant.

He doesn't appear to be honest, but there's a shrewd look in his eyes from time to time, just like a fat businessman.

He is not a bohemian guy at all, and you can tell at first glance that he is the kind of ranger who doesn't like being restricted.

But it was the man who looked the least conspicuous among the few people and seemed to be able to be bullied at will, the scholar-like man.

When Zheng Yi was looking at the other person, these people were also looking at Zheng Yi.

The two sides passed each other, but no one said anything.

After they were far away, Zheng Yi asked Feng Xia: "Who are they?"

Feng Xia, who was worried, just remembered that she had not introduced them to Zheng Yi yet.

"Oh, I am really rude this time. Those friends are the ones I told you about before, the ones who helped us find the captured Xingxiu Sea disciples."

Zheng Yi suddenly realized.

Feng Xia continued, "The one walking in front is Qiu Ming from Chi Bishan, and the slightly fatter one behind him is Qian Wanrong from Wanqitang."

"The one holding a folding fan and looking like a scholar is Jiang He from Yinxin Valley. The last person is a casual cultivator named Zhang Hua."

"So it's them." Zheng Yi nodded suddenly, as if he didn't take those people to heart.

However, in reality, Zheng Yi can be 100% sure that the guy named Jiang He is definitely not simple.

Whether he has hidden strength or not, Zheng Yi cannot tell with his current cultivation level.

However, there is no doubt that this kid is definitely not as simple as he looks.

While Feng Xia was introducing them to Zheng Yi, Qiu Ming and others were also discussing Zheng Yi.

"This guy looks a little unfamiliar. I don't think I've seen him before?" Qian Wanrong asked puzzledly.

Zhang Hua also nodded: "Besides, this person can be on par with Elder Feng of the Sutra Repository, so his identity should not be ordinary."

Qiu Ming said nonchalantly: "What's so strange about this? In a large sect like Xingxiu Sea, there are countless masters hidden. It's not surprising that there are a few we haven't seen."

Even though the other party might be an elder of Xingxiu Sea, Qiu Ming did not take Zheng Yi seriously at all.

With a snap, Jiang He threw open his folding fan and said with a smile, "This person is not an ordinary person. Not only is he not unknown, but he is a powerful person that all of us have heard of."

After saying this, Qiu Ming was the first to express his dissatisfaction: "If he is really such a strong man, it is impossible that I have never heard of him. This is not the first time we have come to Xingxiu Sea, but we have never met this person."

What he meant was, how could someone that even I, Qiu Ming, don’t even know be a powerful figure?

Zhang Hua gradually figured out something. They were all familiar with the other party's name, but they had no impression of such a powerful person at all.

"Wait... Brother Daoist Jiang, don't you want to tell us that this person is that person?"

Jiang He smiled and nodded: "It's about right."

The conversation between the two riddlers made Qian Wanrong and Qiu Ming feel very uncomfortable. However, Qiu Ming couldn't bring himself to ask at this time, so Qian Wanrong felt no burden: "Fellow Daoist Jiang, if you have something to say, can't you just say it directly? Why do you have to beat around the bush like this?"

Zhang Hua joked, "You are wrong. Didn't Daoist Jiang explain it very clearly? You can figure it out if you think about it a little."

Qiu Ming gritted his teeth and said, "You mean we are stupid?"

Zhang Hua deliberately pretended to be innocent: "I didn't say that, you said it yourself."

"Zhang Hua, if you have the ability, let's go out and practice." Qiu Ming said gritting his teeth.

Zhang Hua was naturally not afraid at all. Since the four of them could become friends, their cultivation levels would naturally not be too different.

Even though Qiu Ming, a disciple from a large sect, has stronger cultivation, it is not easy to defeat Zhang Hua, a casual cultivator.

When several people fight, it's not really just to vent their anger.

If they were so incompatible, they wouldn't be able to get together so often.

Jiang He said with a smile: "My two fellow Taoists, this is Xingxiu Sea's territory after all. Isn't it inappropriate to take action here?"

He said, "That's right. It's not good to cause trouble to others. You're lucky, otherwise I would let you have a taste of the Heaven and Earth Palm I just created."

Qiu Ming rolled his eyes at him. This guy was always doing those weird moves.

Zhang Hua spent most of his time naming these moves, which were typical flashy and impractical, so I didn't bother to pay attention to him.

Finally, Qiu Ming's eyes were still fixed on Jiang He.

"This man's name is Zheng Yi, the elder worshipper of Xingxiu Sea."

Hearing this name, the other three were stunned at the same time.

"Is it him?" Zhang Hua exclaimed. "Isn't this the man who took out those two martial arts? I wonder if he has other martial arts. If I can get them..." Qian Wanrong licked his lips and moved the abacus so fast that his fingers almost left afterimages.

The person who had the biggest reaction was the usually arrogant Qiu Ming: "He is actually Zheng Yi!"

Seeing his intense reaction, Zhang Hua became even more curious: "Why, do you know this person?"

Qiu Ming said: "I have heard some news about him before. It was his disciple who saved our human disciples who were out for training."

“And…” Qiu Ming took a deep breath and continued to explain: “He also escaped from the encirclement of the Nether Spirit Clan with several cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Stage.”

"Among the Nether Spirit Clan that are hunting them, there are also Jindan-stage cultivators."

Qian Wanrong asked doubtfully, "Isn't this guy also in the Jindan stage? Although he is definitely not strong enough to deal with those pursuers, it shouldn't be that difficult for him to escape, right?"

Jiang He explained with a smile: "According to rumors, this guy was only in the crystallization stage at the time."

"That's absolutely impossible." Zhang Hua and Qian Wanrong retorted in unison.

A cultivator in the Crystallization Stage escaped from the pursuit of a Jindan Great Cultivator? And he didn't escape by himself, but took a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage with him?

This is simply unimaginable.

Although there is only one realm difference between the Crystallization Stage and the Golden Core Stage, the actual gap between them seems to be as huge as heaven and earth.

Jiang He did not explain, but looked at Qiu Ming.

Even with Qiu Ming's arrogance, he couldn't help but show admiration: "What he said is true."

"Although we did this at the time, we humans also wanted to set up a trap to strike at the Nether Spirits. So although we didn't attack directly, we also tied down a lot of the Nether Spirits' power from other aspects."

"But, if it weren't for this person..." After hesitating for a moment, Qiu Ming chose a relatively respectful title: "If it weren't for Mr. Zheng, those people probably wouldn't have been able to come back at all."

Even with Qiu Ming's identity, there are still many things he doesn't know.

For example, when they finally escaped to the Wenxian Temple, it was Zheng Yi who delayed the pace of the masters in the God Transformation Stage and bought Wenxian Temple a lot of time, which prevented them from being directly killed by the masters in the God Transformation Stage.

If they knew this, Qiu Ming and the others would probably be terrified.

When Feng Xia brought Zheng Yi to the Xingxiu Sea Council Hall, all the elders of Xingxiu Sea had already arrived.

When they saw Zheng Yi coming, they all stood up to greet him.

"Elder Zheng, welcome, welcome."

"Elder Zheng, the technique you showed me is really exquisite. There are still many things I cannot comprehend, so I will definitely ask you for your advice later."

"I wonder what Elder Zheng thinks of the Jindan stage's training methods? If you have any advice, please don't hesitate to ask us."

Zheng Yi responded with a smile: "If you have any questions, please feel free to ask me. I will never hide anything I know."

"It's really not the case that I can give you any guidance. My cultivation level is low, so I can't give you any guidance or exchanges."

Zheng Yi was so polite that the elders felt good about him.

After the greetings, Zheng Yi finally understood the purpose of Lin Junrong summoning all the elders to discuss the matter.

Because of the two sets of skills that Zheng Yi brought out, more and more cultivators have come to Xingxiu Sea recently.

To this end, they have killed many daring guys.

But it still couldn't be stopped. Those people were racking their brains to sneak into the Star Pirates to get the secret book.

If this continues, there is no telling how much bloodshed will be caused before this matter is settled.

Therefore, Lin Junrong hopes that everyone can work together to come up with a solution to the current troubles.

Although the elders came up with many ideas, there was really no particularly suitable one.

After all, if they really had a way, they would have said it long ago and wouldn't have had to wait until now, right?
"Ahem..." Seeing that they were at a loss, Zheng Yi cleared his throat and said, "Actually, I have a suggestion. If you..."

Swish! ! !
Everyone's eyes were instantly focused on Zheng Yi.

Lin Junrong said anxiously, "Elder Zheng, do you have any good ideas? Please tell me."

She had been so worried about this matter that she hadn't slept well for several days.

"Since these people are here for the technique, just give it to them directly."

Zheng Yi's voice was not loud, but his words seemed like a bolt of thunder in the ears of all the elders of Xingxiu Sea.

"Elder Zheng, you..." Lin Junrong almost wanted to ask, is there something wrong with Zheng Yi's brain? This is a technique for cultivation, it's too late to hide it, how can you give it to others easily?

But then he remembered that this technique was also given to them by Zheng Yi, and he swallowed the rest of the words back.

The other elders came to their senses and tried to persuade Zheng Yi.

"Elder Zheng, please calm down."

"I don't think this is a good idea. Besides, even if you show me the technique, those people may not believe you."

"That's right. If we show it to them, they will just think we are trying to fool them with something fake."

Zheng Yi sat there smiling and did not refute immediately.

Zheng Yi had already anticipated their reactions before expressing his opinion.

Although these skills were all taken out by him, they had long been regarded as forbidden by the people of Xingxiu Sea.

Especially after they have practiced these two exercises themselves and felt the tremendous benefits brought by them, it would be even more impossible for them to teach these two exercises to others.

For the elders of the Xingxiu Sea, their vision can only see this far.

After all, to them, their own sect is more important than anything else.

It's not their fault to have such thoughts, after all, they have always lived in Canglan Realm. It is difficult for a person's knowledge to transcend his environment.

After these people gradually calmed down, Zheng Yi slowly asked a question: "Everyone, what do you think is the most important thing at this moment?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Junrong answered without thinking: "Of course, we are on guard against those who steal the secret manual, and at the same time ensure the safety of our Xingxiu Sea disciples."

Wang Haiweng also said: "Thanks to Elder Zheng's reminder, our Xingxiu Sea disciples were not harmed outside. Now, almost all the disciples who went out have returned, so there is no need to worry about their safety for the time being."

"It's just that it's not a good idea for us to keep blocking the mountain gate like this."

"Elder Zheng, besides making the secret book public, don't you have any other solution?"

Zheng Yi looked at them and said, "Everyone, our current trouble is not these monks who covet the secret book, but a more powerful enemy." (End of this chapter)
