Cultivation begins with separation.

Chapter 40 Murderous Intention

Before Yi Dong returned to Zijin Mountain, he sent a message to Yi De to buy a lot of materials.

This time, after he returns to Purple Mountain, he will not leave for a long time.

He rearranged the formation of Purple Gold Mountain, especially the core offensive and defensive parts, and Yi Dong completed it in less than a month.

There is no rush for the outer part.

It is necessary to arrange a more comprehensive formation to protect Taichu Zixing.

On the other hand, the environment of the Lotus Spirit Pond must be changed by formations.

After complicated calculations, Yi Dong rationally distributed the spiritual energy of Zijin Mountain and designed eight lotus spirit pools.

It is planned to plant about one hundred earth lotuses in each lotus spirit pond.

Theoretically, eight spirit pools can yield 200 million spirit stones in three hundred years.

Planting third-level spiritual plants would definitely consume a lot of energy, taking three hundred years. Ignoring the labor costs and the initial investment costs of the formation, the management cost alone would be around 10 million spirit stones.

In the past, one of the reasons why all the spiritual plants in Zijin Mountain, except for the Taichu Purple Apricot, were only level one or two was because the investment in growing level three spiritual plants was too great.

According to Yi Dong's calculations, the environment of the designed Lotus Spirit Pond is relatively excellent, and there will be fewer problems in cultivating the Earth Heart Lotus. The cost for three hundred years will be about 30 million.

In this way, the profit is acceptable.

Don't think that Yi Dong earns tens of millions a year at Lijiang Taoist Temple.

In fact, this is something you can only encounter by chance.

On the one hand, Dean Nie Xianglan was of noble birth and was unwilling to spend too much time on the task, so she was willing to give him the opportunity to earn spirit stones.

On the other hand, the Taoist temple suddenly came up with a lot of difficult tasks, and most teachers needed a process to accept the new knowledge. Yidong seized this blank period and achieved such results by extremely compressing production and labor costs.

With his ability, it would be reasonable for him to go to other Taoist temples and work for them and earn around a few hundred million spirit stones a year.

If he could get a teaching position, with his current skills, he could probably earn three to five million spirit stones every year.

Yi Dong did not gain a long life by working for others.

So there is no need, and he basically would not go to the Taoist temple to sell his cheap labor.

The Lotus Spirit Pond is different.

As long as he does the preliminary work and produces the relevant technical manuals, he can ask the cultivators of the Yi family to help him with the planting without wasting much effort.

In Zijin Mountain, Yi Dong was refining the instruments for setting up the formation while learning and comprehending the information in the "Hall of Thought".

Three months have passed.

this day.

Yi De sent a message to Yi Dong.

"Yi Ye and Yi Hao came together?"

Yi Dong thought about it, waited for an hour, then took his gun and sword and walked down the mountain.

Outside a large hall on the mountainside.

Yi Ye and Yi Hao looked at the smoke and dust filling the sky below Purple Gold Mountain.

That was countless mortals using large machinery to dig a huge pit.

On Zijin Mountain, there are also many mortals who use small machines to dig out trenches that are several meters wide and more than ten meters deep, and the purpose of which is unknown.

The entire Purple Mountain is like a bustling construction site.

Mortals and immortal cultivators each performed their duties, and the project progressed quite quickly.

Some children were running freely between the buildings on the mountainside, glancing at Yi Ye and Yi Hao from time to time, but they did not dare to approach.

Yi Ye occasionally looked at the children and couldn't help but smile.

Most of the Yi family members in the entire Zijin Mountain are direct descendants of Yi Ye.

Just then, Yi De came over.

"The mountain master is about to come down, just follow me."

Yi Ye glanced at Yi De and nodded slightly.

He didn't care about this son when he was in Sanyang Mountain, but after following Yi Dong to Zijin Mountain, this son showed considerable abilities.

Just like Yi Qing at the beginning.

Yi Ye and Yi Hao walked in front.

Yi De didn't look at Yi Ye, the father, but looked at Yi Hao's back, feeling a little envious.

When they first came to Zijin Mountain together, Yi De was Yi Dong's confidant and had a very high status in Zijin Mountain.

And Yi Hao was just a spiritual farmer who worked on the land.

However, at this point in time, Yi Hao’s status is far beyond the reach of Yi De, let alone Yi Dong.

After Yi Hao graduated, he became an immortal official, but he has not yet performed his duties.

Yi Hao and Yi Ye walked into the hall.

Looking at the main seat in the hall.

Yi Hao said:

"Father, please sit down first."

Yi Ye nodded.

No matter how great Yi Hao and Yi Dong are, they are still his sons after all.

As soon as Yi Dong walked into the hall, he saw a middle-aged man sitting in the main seat with a majestic posture. Next to him was Yi Hao, while Yi De was standing.

This was the first time Yi Dong saw Yi Ye after traveling through time.

After taking a quick look, I didn't care anymore.

It's just the foundation of an ancient building.

Then, Yi Dong turned his gaze to Yi Hao.

Yi Hao has always been good-looking.

But the temperament is very different from before.

The last time I saw Yi Hao, he still had a bit of a shabby and vulgar aura.

Now, he is full of confidence, calm but with a hint of murderousness, and has a strong aura.

When Yi Dong looked at the two of them, the two of them also looked at Yi Dong.

Yi Ye shook his head slightly in his heart. Yi Dong had always looked plain since he was a child, so even if he had a natural spiritual root, he was not very happy with him. When he was about to say something, he saw the gun and sword on Yi Dong's waist. He was moved and stopped talking immediately.

Yi Hao also saw the weapon on Yi Dong's waist, and his expression did not change.

In the upper Taoist academy, there will be casualties when discussing Taoism. Yi Hao looks down on cultivators like Yi Dong who have never experienced killing. So what if he has this weapon?
Yi Dong took a look at the ring in Yi Hao's hand and found a chair to sit down. Yi Dong signaled Yi De to leave first.

When there were only three of them left in the hall.

Yi Ye coughed and said:

“Ah Dong, I wonder if you have heard that our nephew Yi Fan, the genius of the Yi family, has already established a firm foothold in Yuzhou.

In recent years, many members of our Yi family have moved to Yuzhou.

Yuzhou is a superior state, far stronger than Qingzhou.

Our Yi family intends to establish a branch in Yuzhou, and I want you to go there.

You have Yi Fan's nephew to take care of you."

Yi Dong interrupted with a wave of his hand.

“No, I don’t have the habit of following others.

There is no need to say more about this matter.

Yi Hao, come here, what's the matter?"

Yi Ye wanted to say something, but after taking a look at the spiritual weapon on Yi Dong's waist, he swallowed his words.

Yi Hao glanced at Yi Dong, then looked at the top of the mountain.

Yi Dong suddenly became numb.

When Yi Hao was about to say something, his brows suddenly frowned and a frightened feeling appeared.

Yi Hao was not unfamiliar with this feeling. He immediately lost his relaxed attitude and his expression immediately became tense.

He knew that if what he said next did not make Yi Dong give up his murderous intent, a battle that would put his life in great danger would begin.

A jade token with a strange glow and a very sharp aura suddenly appeared in Yi Hao's hand.
“This is an expedition order from the Immortal Kingdom.

With this expedition order, a family can send its members to follow the fairyland army on an expedition outside the realm.

I am helping Brother Fan to set up an expeditionary force for the family.

Each expedition order can absorb the breath of surrounding creatures into it, and the fairyland can locate the location of the expedition order.

At the same time, the expedition order is also a powerful one-time magic weapon.

This expedition order was obtained by Brother Fan at a great cost."

Yi Ye looked at Yi Hao in surprise, he knew nothing about the expeditionary force.

Besides, didn’t Yi Hao say before that he would come to Zijin Mountain to take back his things?
Why is it different from what we agreed?

On the Purple Gold Mountain, magical instruments were flashing with flickering lights, and now, the great formation was about to move but had not yet done so.

Yi Dong looked at Yi Hao with a dim gaze.

He was absolutely confident that he could kill Yi Hao.

The previous formations of Zijin Mountain had no way to restrict spatial movement.

However, Yi Dong has deliberately added hallucination, suppression, confusion, gravity and other effects to this formation in order to cope with spatial movement.

According to his tens of thousands of calculations, even if Yi Hao's ability to move through space was ten times stronger than thirty-two years ago, it would be impossible for him to leave Purple Mountain by moving through space.

Just now, Yi Dong was full of murderous intent.

He doesn't care about his status as an immortal official.

If an irresistible strong man, such as Dao Jindan, came to snatch Taichu Zixing, Yi Dong would naturally not seek his own destruction.

But, Yi Hao also wants to touch his natal spiritual plant?

If you don't kill him, do you really think Yi Dong is a heartless person?

Originally, no matter what Yi Hao said, Yi Dong planned to turn a deaf ear to him and kill Yi Hao directly, then abandon Zijin Mountain and go to the Lotus Spirit Pond under the Li River to meditate for a while to see how the situation would develop.

As for the fact that Yi Dong couldn't take Taichu Zixing away, he would rather destroy it than let anyone else get it.

However, after Yi Hao took out this so-called expedition order.

Yi Dong forced himself to suppress the murderous intent in his heart.

Naturally, he was not worried about being hunted down by the Immortal Kingdom.

He stopped because he clearly felt the threat of the expedition order.

His knowledge told him that the expedition order in front of him contained countless advanced technologies that he could not understand at all, so Yi Hao's words might not be false.

Obviously, the power of this thing may be far beyond my understanding.

Yi Dong let out a breath.

He could kill Yi Hao regardless of the consequences.

Whether to be killed by the Immortal Kingdom or to live out the rest of your life hiding like a rat are things that need to be considered in the future.

However, there is no need to trade one for one with Yi Hao.

Yi Dong looked down on Yi Hao from the bottom of his heart. He had a bright future, and this bastard's life was not even a fraction as good as his.

Yi Dong stood up, looked at Yi Hao expressionlessly, and left quickly without saying a word.

When Yi Ye wanted to say something.

Yi Hao's body emitted light, instantly wrapping up Yi Ye, and after a few flashes he left the range of the Purple Gold Mountain formation.

Yi Dong stood under a big tree and looked in the direction where Yi Hao disappeared.

His expression changed.

He originally wanted to create a distance that he thought was safe and then quickly activate the formation.

Even if that expedition could destroy the entire Purple Mountain in an instant, that instant was enough for the "Sword of the Benevolent" to be launched.

As long as it is not a situation where death is inevitable, Yi Dong doesn't mind taking a little risk to kill Yi Hao.

But I didn't expect that this person was so alert.

He ran away before he could create enough distance to activate the formation.

Thinking back to the moment when Yi Hao took a look at the top of the mountain and had the urge to kill him, the man's response was beyond his expectations.

If he had just said a few words of nonsense or responded with something inexplicable that did not make him aware of the threat, the battle might have already ended.

Yi Dong withdrew his gaze.

He knew that after today, there would be no room for negotiation between Yi Hao and him, and one of them would have to die in order for the other to calm down.

"That's good. The Immortal Country War is about to begin. Qingzhou can't remain peaceful forever. Let's wait until the time is right and see who will have the last laugh."

Yi Dong loosened his grip on the Spear of Eternity and returned to the top of the mountain.
