From the fake emperor to the concubine

A meal of pork brought tears to the eyes of these young men in the Qi Refining Stage.

From birth till now, all they have eaten is rotten rice porridge. They have not even had a real full meal, let alone meat.

But with Zheng Yi, not only can they eat meat, but they can also eat as much as they want until they are full.

“Is this what it feels like to be full?” A young man covered his stomach, tears welling up in his eyes just now, but now they flowed uncontrollably: “I don’t know when I can have a meal like this again.”

Zheng Yi promised directly: "As long as you listen to me and do your job honestly, I can guarantee that you will have enough to eat every day in the future."

"Even if we don't have meat every day, it's definitely not like before, with only porridge made from moldy rice."

Several people, including Zhou Yang, felt like their scalps were about to explode.

When they thought about having enough to eat every day in the future, they suddenly felt that the first half of their lives had been lived in vain.

"God, you are really a living god. Could it be that God sent you to help us live a good life?" Zhou Yang asked with a trembling voice.

"As long as you can feed me, I'll do anything."

Others also expressed their loyalty.

Just a meal of meat was enough to win the loyalty of these people.

I have to say that doing some things in such a world can achieve twice the result with half the effort.

After letting these people go home, Zheng Yi also did not forget to ask Mr. Chen to prepare another meal for their family members.

"Eat these things secretly, but don't let anyone find out." Old Chen gave them food while reminding them, "Don't blame me for not telling you in advance. If anyone doesn't keep their mouth shut or lets someone at home leak the news, you won't be able to eat meat again in the future."

Confidential.

This was something Zheng Yi had specifically reminded Chen Mu of. Omissions in other areas were not a big deal, and they could always be made up for.

However, everything about them must be kept as confidential as possible.

Otherwise, once the Zhao family finds out anything, only destruction will await them.

But this kind of thing involves too many people, and it is impossible to keep it secret forever.

Emphasize it over and over again, and make them aware from various angles of the possible dangers once exposed, and try to block the factors of personal leakage as much as possible.

Only then can the risk of exposure be reduced to a minimum.

So from the very beginning, whether facing Mr. Chen, Zhou Shitou, or Zhou Yang, the only requirement Zheng Yi repeatedly emphasized was confidentiality.

Everyone agreed and left with the food that had been sealed in jars, trying to avoid even the smell from leaking out.

"Feng Haitao, go back and continue your training. If you reach a bottleneck, do not break through without authorization, lest you be discovered."

After instructing Feng Haitao, Zheng Yi brought Zhou Shitou to the breakthrough site he had arranged in advance.

Here, Zheng Yi set up a simple shielding magic circle.

Because of the lack of materials, they are all the simplest low-end versions. Only when the Qi training stage breaks through the foundation-building stage can the movement of the breakthrough be concealed.

If a cultivator's cultivation level improves a little bit, this thing will be of no use.

"Shitou..." After thinking for a while, Zheng Yi suggested: "We will be doing great things in the future, so the name is still very important. I will give you a new name."

Zhou Shitou nodded solemnly: "Please give me a name, my lord."

Zheng Yi hesitated for a moment and said, "Why not just call you Kunshan? A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step."

Zhou Shitou... no, from now on his name has been changed to Zhou Kunshan.

"Thank you for the name, my lord. Kunshan will never forget it."

"Okay Kunshan, listen to me now." Zheng Yi carefully told Zhou Kunshan the key points of the breakthrough, as well as the difficulties that might be encountered during the breakthrough process and how to deal with and resolve them.

In the Sutra Library of Xingxiu Sea, various secret manuals of martial arts also contain the experiences and insights of those cultivators.

In terms of strength alone, Zheng Yi might not be as good as those strong men in the Canglan Realm who are in the stage of transformation and enlightenment.

But when it comes to how to cultivate and break through below the Jindan level, the amount of knowledge Zheng Yi possesses definitely far exceeds theirs.

Zhou Kunshan didn't dare to be careless at all and took careful note of what Zheng Yi said.

"I will help you protect the law, you can start to break through now."

Zhou Kunshan's breakthrough speed was much faster than Zheng Yi had imagined.

Zheng Yi had just sorted out everything he was going to do in the future when Zhou Kunshan had already made a breakthrough.

Not only is it fast, but it is also very quiet.

Although Zheng Yi felt it was a little strange, he was not too surprised.

Unlike other cultivators, the technique he taught Zhou Kunshan was from the outside in. Tempering a strong enough body would also improve his spiritual energy.

In other words, Zhou Kunshan cultivated himself into a creature in the Foundation Establishment Stage, and only then did he have the strength of the Foundation Establishment Stage.

In this case, heaven will basically not send down a natural disaster.

This is because this is not a cultivator going against the will of heaven, he is just a creature in the foundation-building stage whose energy has reached the level that should have belonged to him.

Of course, this method of practice is not without its shortcomings.

In the early stage, because of his strong body, he was almost invincible among those in the same realm.

Even a cultivator who is stronger than Zhou Kunshan may not be his opponent.

However, the higher the realm, the less obvious this advantage becomes, and the more difficult it is to break through.

"Very good!" Zheng Yi swept his spiritual sense and roughly grasped Zhou Kunshan's current condition.

After the breakthrough, this guy still has huge potential.

Even compared with Feng Haitao, he is not much inferior.

The days that followed were very peaceful.

During the day, Zheng Yi took Zhou Kunshan and Feng Haitao to practice in the mine.

Zhou Yang brought a few people to be responsible for mining and complete the assignment that Hewan Village should hand over.

After leaving the mine at night, Zhou Shitou was responsible for hunting in the mountains to provide meat for Zhou Yang and others.

During this period, Zheng Yi discovered another good candidate for cultivation.

Although compared to Zhou Kunshan and the others, this person's talent is not particularly high. But at a time like this, it is better to have some strength than nothing.

Zhou Yang's mining team also expanded to six people.

These young and strong men, when they are able to eat their fill, behave differently every day.

His originally thin and dark figure became visibly stronger.

Even if they don't practice specifically, their cultivation is improving visibly.

Not to mention Zhou Kunshan and Feng Haitao, who have endless amounts of igneous rock mines to provide for their cultivation, plus Zheng Yi, the encyclopedia of cultivation, to provide guidance.

It is no exaggeration to say that the speed at which the two of them improve their cultivation is advancing by leaps and bounds.

In just over ten days, Zhou Kunshan had reached the middle stage of the foundation-building period, and Feng Haitao had surpassed him and was actually a little stronger than Zhou Kunshan.

But by this time, everyone in the village gradually realized that something was wrong.

After all, there are only so many strong laborers. If there are a few of them, not only can they complete the tasks every day, but they can also help others to mine. The village chief who used to be seen every day not only suddenly said that he changed his name, but now he is not seen every day.

What’s more important is Feng Haitao, this skinny guy, it’s like he’s a completely different person.

His figure gradually became rounder and fuller, and his appearance became more handsome.

Many young girls in the village now find it difficult to walk when they see Feng Haitao.

Zheng Yi knew that it was time to start expanding his influence.

That night, Zhou Kunshan called all the decision-makers in each household in the village to the ancestral hall.

"My uncles and brothers, I have something to tell you today. This matter concerns the future of our Hewan Village."

"I don't care what you think, whether you agree or disagree. After we leave the ancestral hall, you must not reveal a single word of what I said today."

"Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Everyone was frightened by Zhou Kunshan's murderous look, although Zhou Kunshan was a very prestigious person in the past, otherwise he would not have been able to manage Hewan Village well.

But this was the first time that everyone saw his ruthless side.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

An old man with gray hair tapped his cane and said, "Shitou...what are you saying? We are all one family, why are we still fighting?"

Zhou Kunshan said coldly: "Uncle, this is a serious matter, I can only speak the truth up front."

"If anyone has objections or does not want to participate in what happens next, you can leave now. I, Zhou Kunshan, will never stop you."

Everyone looked at each other, feeling an extremely heavy pressure on them.

Although they are just a group of ordinary people who have never seen what people ten miles away look like, it doesn't mean they are stupid.

The village chief gathered them in the ancestral hall and was so serious about it, it was definitely not a trivial matter.

Some of those who are less courageous have already started to wonder whether they should leave.

But before they could leave, an extremely tempting aroma filled the ancestral hall.

Just by smelling this smell, many people's stomachs began to growl.

"Oh my god, whose stew is this? Why does it smell so good?"

"The last time I ate meat was fifteen years ago."

"You've eaten meat before, but you don't know what it tastes like."

Seeing their performance, Zhou Kunshan was secretly amazed: "As expected of the lord, you have mastered these things perfectly."

"Even if someone wanted to leave before, they probably wouldn't want to leave now, right?"

The thought flashed through his mind, and Zhou Kunshan smiled and said, "I know that all of you uncles and brothers haven't eaten yet, so let's eat first. No matter what happens, we can talk about it after we finish eating."

It’s still Zheng Yi’s old routine. For these ordinary people who have hardly eaten meat, there’s no need to do anything fancy.

There were three washbasin-sized wooden basins, all filled to the brim with meat like a small mountain.

When everyone in the ancestral hall saw the meat, their eyes widened.

Except for the few people in charge of mining and their families, who were able to share some of the meat they brought back, the rest of the people probably had never seen so much meat in their lives, let alone eating it.

When the older generation saw the meat, their faces changed slightly. Apparently they had guessed where the meat came from, but they still couldn't hide the desire on their faces.

"What are you all standing there for? Come on, eat. Don't be polite to me."

Suddenly, the only sounds that could be heard in the ancestral hall were the sounds of swallowing and chewing.

Zhou Kunshan did not restrict them at all. As soon as they finished one bowl of food, he asked someone to bring another one, until they could no longer eat.

"How is it? Is the meat delicious?" Zhou Kunshan asked with a smile.

"Of course, burp...it's delicious. I've never been so satisfied in my life."

Others echoed.

"Do you want to eat meat every day in the future?" Zhou Kunshan said with a strange smile, coaxing.

"miss you!"

Everyone answered in unison without even thinking.

In the past, they could only experience days like this in their dreams.

Who doesn’t want to have enough food and drink every day?

The old man holding the cane had a gloomy expression on his face, and seemed to want to say something, but it turned into a long sigh: "Forget it, forget it, young people are different from old bones like us."

After saying that, he closed his eyes and said nothing.

"Good!" Zhou Kunshan was very satisfied with their answers: "I will now introduce a fairy to all of you uncles and brothers. As long as you follow this fairy's work well in the future, you can all live a good life with meat every meal."

As soon as Zhou Kunshan finished speaking, a dazzling light flashed in the ancestral hall.

When the light faded, Zheng Yi's figure appeared in front of everyone.

Although Zheng Yi was only wearing the most ordinary linen clothes, his outstanding aura made people feel at first glance that he was not an ordinary person.

"Xiao Zheng, is that you?"

"You are an immortal, is this true or not?"

"Village Chief, are you kidding us?"

When they saw Zheng Yi, everyone immediately started questioning him.

Zheng Yi had talked to these people many times when he was gathering information.

Since you want to get information, of course you can't act superior.

In the eyes of many of them, Zheng Yi was just a talkative young man who came from nowhere and sought refuge with Mr. Chen.

At that time, Zheng Yi kept calling him brother, elder brother, and even uncle.

It is difficult for them to regard such a person as a so-called immortal.

"How dare you!" Zhou Kunshan scolded angrily, "How can you be so presumptuous in front of an immortal?"

Zheng Yi smiled and waved his hands: "Kunshan, there is no need to do this. This immortal came to the mortal world from the immortal world to experience the various aspects of the human world. There is no need to blame them."

As he spoke, Zheng Yi smiled gently.

There was a bang.

It was as if something exploded in everyone's mind.

Looking at Zheng Yi again, he was no longer the same as before, with a brilliant light shining straight into the sky.

Behind Zheng Yi, the colorful glazed wheel of merit slowly turned, emitting an extremely mysterious aura.

"Oh my god, where is this?"

It was not until this time that everyone suddenly realized that they had changed places without knowing when.

There are towering buildings everywhere around, and there is only a thin layer of cloud under your feet. Through the clouds, you can even see the endless stars in the universe.

How could these ordinary people have ever seen such a wonderful sight?
They all knelt down and kowtowed. (End of this chapter)
