In the area of Jiangcheng, anyone below the Embryo Transformation Realm and those who have been in the Embryo Transformation Realm for less than ten years can enter.

This sentence is easy to understand, it means that only young talents are allowed to enter the chaotic thief's tomb.

After all, some high-level Embryo Transformation experts, although their Spiritual Embryo level is not high, can easily defeat young talents with higher Spiritual Embryo grades by relying on their accumulated cultivation over the years.

However, it is strange that such a requirement directly expands the scope from the Baijia students to all those who meet the requirements.

In other words... all young talents in Jiangcheng can enter.

Four military qi fortunes, three ground-level spell jade slips.

The rewards offered by the military alone are almost equivalent to the sum of the Confucian, Mohist, and Legalist families.

When did our military ever fight such a rich battle?

Many people's first reaction is disbelief.

But after thinking about it, Nangong Ling not only represents the military this time, but also represents Zhou Tianzi.

If such a situation is exaggerated, wouldn't it make the Zhou royal family a laughingstock in the world?

In other words, these rewards are all real, and there is no way they can be fake.

Even the book "Zhuanxu Ancient Calendar" is real!

This is an ancient book created by Emperor Zhuanxu in ancient times, observing the geography and stars, and the rules of the world contained in it, if fully understood, its value is not lower than that of supernatural powers, and even surpasses it.

We are "pawread dot com", find us on google.

However... Zhou Tianzi is grateful to the three families of Qian, Li, and Chu for their contributions to repelling the barbarians?

Although the words are true, is this the real reason?

Who cares!

Nangong Ling did not say that the "Zhuanxu Ancient Calendar" can only belong to the two surnames of Ying and Mi, whoever grabs it will be theirs.

The extremely generous rewards make everyone yearn for them.

But Nangong Ling soon poured cold water on them: "However, the chaotic thief's tomb is extremely dangerous. Even when I comprehended my own supernatural powers back then, I almost lost my life. So I advise you all, if you haven't reached the Triple Essence, Energy, and Spirit at the eleventh level, don't try it easily!"

Everyone: "..."

If that's the case, there is indeed no need to seek death.

It is rumored that when Nangong Ling comprehended his own supernatural powers back then, he had already broken through the Embryo Transformation Realm with the body of a second-grade Spiritual Embryo. Even he encountered danger, then what about oneself...

This needs to be carefully considered.

Nangong Ling waved his hand: "Three days later, in front of Chongli Palace, I'll be waiting for you!"

After speaking, he directly flew up and disappeared from everyone's sight.

Leaving behind the whispering Baijia students.

Especially those who participated in the deduction today, they were even more excited.

They were able to stand up and represent their own sects, naturally they were the best among the best, but they were suppressed by Ying Wuji throughout the entire process and didn't get any of the five military qi fortunes and three spell techniques.

Naturally, they were unwilling.

The rewards offered by the military alone are no less than today's.

After today's failure, they must make up for it.

"This is really strange!"

Tian Wenjing rubbed his head irritably: "I only remember someone coming out to teach me a demon, and then I fainted. When I woke up, I heard someone say that Ying Wuji had deduced for 1,200 years! Could it be that it was already arranged in advance and deliberately confused us!"

"Idiot!"

Xiang Ding scolded, he was also annoyed today, although the debate of the three families of Confucianism, Mohism, and Legalism had nothing to do with him.

But at least he could understand it, but at such a critical moment, he was actually taken over by someone teaching him a demon in front of the Baijia students.

It was simply a great humiliation!

Seeing Tian Wenjing's ignorant appearance, he became even more angry: "First think about whether you were deceived into bed by a demon!"

"Hehe! I did spend the night with an exceptional... what?"

Tian Wenjing was shocked: "You mean that was a demon?"

Xiang Ding snorted coldly: "Otherwise, how do you think you were taken over!"

Tian Wenjing's face changed constantly, obviously feeling a bit embarrassed, he frowned: "How did you know?"

Xiang Ding sneered and ignored him.

"So you also..."

Tian Wenjing's face turned slightly green: "Unlucky! I said it so casually..."

Xiang Ding: "..."

The people around: "..."

Ying Wuji shook his head and turned to Zhao Ning: "Let's go! Let's not listen to these fellow practitioners complaining to each other, let's leave first!"

"Fellow practitioners?"

Zhao Ning was a little confused, but indeed didn't want to listen to them entangling these things.

She turned around and arched her hand to the crowd: "Everyone! Although the divine consciousness of the demon in the teaching today was powerful, no one knows whether the imprint has been completely eliminated! Such a cunning method of the demon is unpredictable, but there must be a reason for His Majesty to lure the enemy deep. Please follow me and come with me. The Zhao family will do our best to eliminate any worries for you!"

Xiang Ding nodded and felt a little ashamed: "Thank you, Brother Zhao!"

Tian Wenjing snorted unwillingly: "Thanks!"

The others who were taken over also thanked them one after another.

As for Qing Shu, her cultivation level is the lowest, and she is currently in a coma, but her breath is stable, so there should be no major problem.

With the support of eunuchs and palace maids, everyone followed Zhao Ning and hurried towards the side hall of Chongli Palace.

"Hmph!"

Wei Meng snorted, his face gloomy, seemingly calculating something.

Zhao Qi, the Pingling Jun, smiled faintly: "Ying Wuji has obtained all five military qi fortunes and three spell techniques. This child will definitely become a big threat to the Wei and Han families in the future. At midnight tonight, at the Drunken Immortal Tower, I will be waiting for the Wei Imperial Censor!"

After speaking, Zhao Qi laughed and left.

Wei Meng's expression changed, but he would definitely report these words to Wei Huan.

Although the results of the deduction of the Nine States Copying Scroll may not necessarily be accurate, but Ying Wuji succeeded in deducing the transformation of the law six times out of nine, which directly threatens the Wei and Han families. It seems necessary for the two families to sit down together and have a good talk with the forces behind Pingling Jun.

...

Side hall of Chongli Palace.

Not only Zhao Ji, but also the masters of the three families of Confucianism, Mohism, and Legalism were present.

Today's result can be considered a win-win situation, although Ying Wuji took all the benefits, the disciples of each family didn't get anything.

But my sect didn't gain anything, and even deduced the shortest time limit, becoming a complete joke in front of everyone.

As long as my sect is uncomfortable, they are all comfortable.

After all, everyone is respectable, even if there are differences in academics, it is just a debate among gentlemen.

A sect like mine, composed of extremely temperamental demons, is simply a cancer in the world.

I don't know where they get their confidence from, actually thinking that the teachings of my sect can bring about great order in the world!

What a joke!

But on second thought, even if my sect governs the world, it seems that it cannot achieve great order. Big brother didn't say anything about second brother...

And the demons from my sect who came this time, from the deduction process, it can be seen that she is not just an ordinary demon, she has a deep understanding of Taoist thought. In other words, my sect is not entirely composed of extreme and useless people. There are true experts among them.

Perhaps, there are indeed some people inside who truly aim to govern the world based on the teachings of my sect.

At least this powerful expert who has mastered the energy of the mortal world and the spirit of the divine, is one of them.

Suddenly, they felt that what Ying Wuji said just now was right.

"It's not scary to be brainless, what's scary is when the brainless think they are cultured!"

Some selfish demons are no different from ordinary evil demons.

But if these demons truly believe that they have the ability to change the world, and regard "great order in the world" as their common noble belief, then it is truly terrifying.

I hope my sect has not reached this level yet.

Meng Yu sighed lightly, "Your Majesty Li, how are these children?"

"They should be fine!"

Zhao Ji stood up, "Indeed, this ability to control the mortal world is truly amazing. For it, possessing someone is as easy as drinking water, and after leaving the host, the impact on the host is not significant. It's just that their divine consciousness was shattered by me, so they were shaken in their minds. They should be fine after resting for a night."

"Hoo..."

Hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Especially those who were possessed just now, they felt uncomfortable at the thought of their bodies being used by others.

Tian Wenjing couldn't help but ask, "So how exactly were those marks planted on us?"

Zhao Ji threw the silk left by the demons from my sect, "It's simple! This powerful expert in the divine realm has a strange energy. As long as it enters the body, it will circulate along with the host's true energy, and after circulating in the spiritual platform, it will form a mark on the back of the neck. As long as the mark is there, possession can happen at any time."

Everyone suddenly realized, their expressions becoming somewhat unnatural.

In this case, it is not completely impossible to defend against it, because it is not completely undetectable. Although this demonic energy is not easy to perceive, if one pays full attention to the situation of the true energy in the body, it can still be discovered and forced out.

But who can guarantee that the people they come into contact with are not puppets controlled by demons?

Uncomfortable!

Zhao Ji narrowed his eyes, "Three days after the chaos tomb is opened, everyone can rest. Later, I will send medicine for recuperation, which should not affect the competition three days later!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Everyone thanked in unison.

After the young ones left, only Zhao Ning, Ying Wuji, Zhao Ji, and the other scholars were left in the side hall.

This time, Zhao Ji took out the bet from that day and the appointment contract from the Great Li Academy. The scholars no longer hesitated and signed their names one after another.

Out of the nine simulations, they succeeded six times, which was enough to make them yearn for the Great Li Academy.

Although only two of those times unified the world, and it was under the condition of no interference from external forces.

But the fact that the Li Kingdom did not unify the world did not mean that the Great Li Academy would decline along with it.

Even if the chances are small, the Great Li Academy is at least on par with the Jixia Academy of the past, or even surpassing it. After all, the Jixia Academy did not have so many official positions, nor could it be decided by the scholars in the academy.

They bet their lives.

Meng Yu looked at the other scholars signing their names, feeling a bit bitter, and could only sigh, "Your Majesty Li! I have already written a letter to the scholar in Chu State, and I believe he will come with his students to seek refuge soon. Please take care of them!"

"Don't worry!"

Zhao Ji stroked his beard and laughed, "If Master Meng doesn't want to stay in Jixia, the doors of the Great Li Academy will always be open to Master Meng!"

"Let's talk about it later!"

Meng Yu sighed, feeling a sense of loss.

Because of Meng Sheng's relationship, the Meng family has already established roots in Qi State, and he himself has made a contract with Tian Weihou to stay in Jixia forever.

It's not easy to break the contract.

Looking at the other scholars who were full of confidence, he almost shed tears of envy.

After sending off the scholars, the side hall became quiet again.

Ying Wuji then asked, "Father, how did you restrict the divine consciousness of that demon? Can I learn that move?"

He was really eager.

When he first discovered that so many people were being possessed, he was a little panicked. After all, this ghostly technique was difficult to defend against.

He almost thought that his father-in-law's reputation would be ruined.

But he didn't expect that his father-in-law could control her so easily.

Zhao Ji smiled playfully, "Restricting the divine consciousness by borrowing the power of heaven and earth is a divine ability. All the formations in the world are derived from the mysteries of heaven and earth. I have a deep understanding of formations, is that strange?"

Ying Wuji: "..."

This cup is full.

Unfortunately, borrowing the power of heaven and earth is a secret technique passed down in the Li royal family. It will only be passed on to the new Li king by the old Li king when the crown prince ascends the throne.

He shouldn't even think about it.

He can only rely on external means to unlock this skill.

However...

He now realizes a problem, that is, even though he has shocked the scholars for a hundred years with this grand event, he still hasn't unlocked any divine abilities.

Perhaps... it's a matter of cultivation level?

His current cultivation level is too low, and he simply can't bear the divine abilities.

Come to think of it, it seems to be true. The current cultivation system is an ancient martial arts system passed down from ancient times, and it is quite disconnected from the times.

Embryonic Transformation - Rebirth.

Soldier-Person - Integration of Man and Weapon.Then, when transcending the physical body, comprehend the divine power of heaven and earth.

For pure martial arts cultivation, this cultivation system has no problems.

But the problem is that the experts of the four major schools of Confucianism, Mohism, Legalism, and Taoism have all comprehended the divine power of heaven and earth through their respective schools. The realm of a warrior is simply the biggest threshold.

Many Confucian scholars who have comprehended the divine realm are still stuck in the realm of warriors for many years, even though they have a wealth of knowledge. They can only forcefully comprehend martial arts and directly master the divine power to break through to the divine realm.

The reason why I can't comprehend the divine power myself is probably because I haven't reached the realm of warriors and transcended the physical body.

Among the major schools, only the military and martial arts are the most compatible, so the strongest organization is still the military.

It's no wonder that the four schools of Confucianism, Mohism, Legalism, and Taoism are so eager to develop their own cultivation systems. It's really frustrating.

"Wuji! You did well this time!"

Zhao Ji patted Ying Wuji on the shoulder and increasingly found his son-in-law pleasing to the eye.

Ying Wuji looked pained: "Father King! Don't talk about these useless things. After today, I will truly become the target of public criticism. Tell me, what rewards are you preparing for me?"

"Rewards? The only thing you can think of is rewards, which others can only dream of!"

"Otherwise?"

"Not bad, young man. I didn't misjudge you!"

"..."

Zhao Ji couldn't help but laugh heartily. "There may not be any rewards for now, but if you continue to work hard in cultivation and break through the realm of shedding the mortal body with a third-grade or higher spiritual fetus, I will give you an unparalleled divine weapon to help you break through the realm of warriors as soon as possible!"

"What divine weapon?"

"At the beginning of the grand event, do you still remember the War Spirit Divine Mane?"

"Huh?"

Ying Wuji's expression froze. "Could it be that at that time, I have to merge with a horse? Don't give birth to a horse..."

Zhao Ji: "..."

Zhao Ning: "..."

The scene became extremely awkward for a while.

Zhao Ning rubbed his head. "Brother Ying! His Majesty means that the inheritance of the War Spirit King has been well preserved for special reasons, and it naturally includes the War Spirit King Sword!"

"Is that true?!"

Ying Wuji couldn't help but feel excited. The War Spirit King of Li Kingdom was a famous king in history and the most illustrious king in the history of Li Kingdom. His sword, infused with the aura of a king, was truly a weapon of kings.

If he could use it to comprehend and break through to the realm of warriors, it would definitely be a great thing.

This move by his father-in-law was indeed generous.

But ever since he showed his value, it seemed that his father-in-law had always been generous.

Unlike that old bastard Ying Yue, who always wanted him to work for free.

But...

He tentatively asked, "What about the Crown Prince?"

Zhao Ji smiled and shook his head. "You don't need to worry about the Crown Prince. I have made arrangements."

Ying Wuji scratched his head and still felt uneasy. "But the War Spirit King Sword is something that can only be obtained after shedding the mortal body. The opening of the Tomb of Bandits is imminent, and I..."

"I have already figured out this matter!"

Zhao Ji's expression became rare serious. "This time, the Zhao family will not participate in the Tomb of Bandits, including Ning'er and you!"

Ying Wuji was shocked. "What! Why?"

The way of kings, the way of dominance, the way of taking lives.

This concept was clearly explained by Zhao Ji.

He thought that Zhao Ji must be eager for him to participate in the Tomb of Bandits, but he didn't expect this result.

A trace of sharpness flashed in Zhao Ji's eyes. "Everyone knows the saying that you can't have both the child and the wolf. But look at Nangong Ling's performance this time. How many children has he sacrificed? He has used the Qi of the four military families, three earth-level spells, and even the Zhuanxu Ancient Calendar. He doesn't want to catch a wolf, he wants to wipe out the entire wolf's den!"

Ying Wuji hesitated. "But the Zhuanxu Ancient Calendar is of great importance, and we said before that if we don't enter..."

Zhao Ji snorted coldly. "The Zhuanxu Ancient Calendar is indeed of great importance, but you need to have the fate to obtain it. What if you are the person who kills Zhou Tianzi in his dream?"

Ying Wuji nodded. "It seems to make sense. Then how do we deal with Nangong Ling?"

Zhao Ji's smile turned cold. "How to deal with him? It should be Nangong Ling who is worried about this problem, right? During this time, Ning'er will be in seclusion, and you will publicly announce that you want to assimilate the Qi of the Hundred Schools and the supreme skills. Let's not compete with the military's Qi and supreme skills! If Nangong Ling dares to challenge, then I will take care of everything for you!"

"Great!"

Ying Wuji couldn't help but praise his father-in-law. The feeling of being covered by someone suddenly was really damn good.

But Zhao Ning couldn't help but frowned. "But Your Majesty, it is rumored that the Zhuanxu Ancient Calendar is the divine book for governing the world. The greatest wish of the Ying Qian lineage is to reproduce the Zhuanxu Ancient Calendar. Even with just a fragment, it has already consumed a huge amount of manpower to restore. Now such a good opportunity is in front of us..."

Zhao Ji interrupted with a smile. "The Zhuanxu Ancient Calendar is the enlightenment of Emperor Zhuanxu on the way of heaven and earth, and it is also the essence of his understanding of the great way of human relations. But the later generations should not be immersed in the glory of their predecessors. What we are doing now is no less meaningful than what Emperor Zhuanxu did back then! Without the Zhuanxu Ancient Calendar, we can still create a prosperous era!"

Zhao Ning listened in a daze and finally said respectfully, "I have learned!"

Ying Wuji grinned. To be honest, his father-in-law had a really broad vision.

"Wuji, there is one more thing you need to pay attention to!"

Zhao Ji frowned.

Ying Wuji smiled. "Father King, please speak!"

Zhao Ji narrowed his eyes. "Only I and the six scholars who participated in the selection of the topic for this grand event and the copying of the Nine Provinces Scroll know about it. But in just a few days, it has spread to the mouths of the demonic people in my sect. At least one of these scholars has a problem. Now that you are the Sacrificial Wine Official of the Academy, you will have plenty of opportunities to interact with them. You must be extremely careful."

"Yes!"

Ying Wuji sighed lightly, feeling quite complicated.

To be honest, after these few encounters, he felt that these scholars were truly extraordinary, both in knowledge and temperament.

Even though he had shown off, he was still standing on the shoulders of giants, enjoying the wind at a high place for a while.In terms of character and cultivation, I don't even have the qualifications to shine your shoes, esteemed masters.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have only obtained such a meager amount of energy despite writing the phrase "Cultivate oneself, regulate the family, govern the country, and bring peace to the world." Although the remaining energy is still substantial, as long as I reach that level, it will still be my own.

But Ying Wuji feels that he may never reach that level in his lifetime.

Because he believes that he is just an ordinary person. Sometimes he may feel sympathy for the world, but he cannot constantly devote himself to the well-being of the people. Everything he does is only to make his own life better.

If it were him who was invited to the Royal Academy of the Great Li, he would only be delighted to have a backing and a job.

But he would never be as ecstatic as the esteemed masters, as if they had seen the light of the rest of their lives.

Therefore, he truly respects these esteemed masters from the bottom of his heart.

Whenever he thinks that someone among them has already established a relationship with the "For My Sect," he feels uneasy.

Forget it!

Everyone has their own aspirations.

He will find an opportunity to investigate and find out who the undercover agent of "For My Sect" is.

"Go back and rest. I will send experts to secretly protect you. Nangong Ling can't do anything to you!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Ying Wuji nodded and left directly. He had gained a lot this time and needed to digest it properly.

After he left, only the father and daughter remained in the hall.

Zhao Ning was a little puzzled. "Your Majesty! Even if there is an opportunity for Nangong Ling to make a move, he is in Jiangcheng and cannot act recklessly. As for the 'Zhuan Xu Ancient Calendar'..."

Zhao Ji smiled. "I have already said it earlier! The things we need to do are no worse than what Emperor Zhuanxu did back then. The royal family is declining, with only Zhao Qi as the only male descendant, and he has become a puppet of the Zhou royal family. The future of the Kingdom Li depends entirely on you. You absolutely cannot have any accidents.

Ying Wuji is a genius in reform. After three years, he will be your most trusted minister.

Neither of you can make any mistakes.

As for the Zhuan Xu Ancient Calendar, let it be!"

"Alright!"

Zhao Ning sighed lightly, feeling a bit regretful.

Zhao Ji raised an eyebrow. "By the way! There's also that Jiang Taiyuan. He behaved strangely today. Keep an eye on him until he leaves Jiangcheng. If there's anything suspicious, report it immediately!"

"Yes!"

Zhao Ning nodded.

If she had heard the news about Jiang Taiyuan yesterday, she would have definitely thought of extreme ways to deal with him. Because it was him who spread the news about the nightmare of Emperor Zhou Tianzi.

What's even more terrifying is that no one knows what his intentions are.

Whether it is to protect the assassin from danger or to fish for Emperor Zhou Tianzi, and how he obtained his position as the Music Officer.

This is a great source of instability.

But now...

Since Ying Zhao has decided not to enter the tomb of the bandits, it doesn't matter how Jiang Taiyuan is dealt with.

There are many members of the Zhao royal family with cultivation at the Triple Level Eleven and above. Even if Nangong Ling wants to rack his brains, he won't be able to determine who the person who assassinated Emperor Zhou Tianzi in his dream is.

Although several people, including herself and Ying Wuji, are the key targets of his attention.

But even if you pay attention, so what?

The people you pay attention to, the Li royal family can also pay attention to.

I want to see how ambitious Emperor Zhou Tianzi has become and whether he dares to go to war with the Kingdom Li.

...

Shangmo Bookstore.

After Ying Wuji returned home, he greeted Hua Chao and then prepared to take a bath.

After all, the deduction in the Jiuzhou Manuscript was extremely realistic and took a long time. It could take up to an hour or nearly fifteen minutes. Although it was called a debate, it had actually been several days.

He had finished all his dry rations.

Not bathing for a few days, he also smelled bad.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Wuji, are you bathing?"

Hua Chao's voice came from outside the door.

"I'm already bathing!"

Ying Wuji said as he forcefully opened the door, causing Hua Chao to cover her face and scream in surprise.

But seeing Ying Wuji's neatly dressed clothes, she couldn't help but glare at him with a reproachful look, then took out a sandalwood box from her pocket. "You're so smelly, here, take this!"

Ying Wuji took it with a smile, but when he opened it, he was dumbfounded.

Isn't this my sample soap?

How come there's such a complete piece?

"What is this..."

"This was sent by Luo Ming's men. They said this thing can clean people very well..."

"How many pieces did he send?"

"Only one piece, why?"

"Why didn't you keep it for yourself?"

"I don't need it either. It just happens that you need it..."

Hua Chao said halfway, her voice gradually becoming smaller, biting her lip and falling silent for a while, then suddenly smiled. "You keep calling me 'Sister Hua Chao' all the time. Since you treat me as your sister, shouldn't I take care of you?"

"That's right!"

Ying Wuji grinned and directly put the sandalwood box into his pocket. "Then I'll be corrupt!"

Hua Chao lightly tapped his shoulder. "After washing, rest quickly. You look like a beggar."

After speaking, she closed the door for Ying Wuji and hummed a tune as she left.

"Ah..."

Ying Wuji sighed.

For a moment, he seemed to understand what it meant to be "unworthy."

It's probably when she only has one piece and only thinks of you.

You have many pieces, but your priority is the so-called "career."

He really wanted to tell Hua Chao that this soap business was his own, and everyone would become very rich in the future. But he was afraid that the smile in her eyes would turn into disappointment.

He knew that Hua Chao wouldn't blame him.

But he would feel sad in his heart.

Forget it, he wasn't worthy in the first place.

Ying Wuji shook his head and took off his clothes, then jumped into the tub to take a bath.

After cleaning up, he changed into clean clothes and lay on the bed to take stock of his gains.

Confucianism, Legalism, Mohism, Taoism, and Hundred Schools of Thought, as well as three Earth-ranked spells.

He could already feel the usefulness of the Hundred Schools of Thought's energy.

...The Confucian Qi cultivation nourishes the spirit, the more righteous energy it has, the stronger the will becomes, making it less susceptible to evil spirits. This may also be the reason why Luo Yan did not become a puppet for my sect.

The Legalist Qi cultivation represents authority. The stronger the authority, the more people will feel an irresistible sense of obedience. Therefore, the stronger the battle.

The Mohist Qi cultivation enhances one's agility of thought and insight.

The Military Qi cultivation makes one more courageous in battle and strengthens the body.

...

There are benefits, but they are limited.

Its greatest value lies in carrying the insights of the sages and saints when they created their works of enlightenment, in order to help people break through the bottlenecks below the Transcendent Mortal Realm.

But for Ying Wuji, this usefulness is equivalent to being useless.

If he only seeks those unnecessary benefits, it would be a waste of resources.

So, he plans to give away these Qi cultivations.

The favors he receives in return will definitely be more valuable than the Qi cultivations themselves.

Moreover, he can also copy poems and articles. The Qi cultivation produced in this way, even if not fully explored, will still be more effective than the remnants of this life.

But he hasn't figured out how to give them away specifically.

The little maidservant must have it, but the absorption of Qi cultivation varies from person to person. Some people's brainwaves do not match, and even if they refine it to death, they cannot refine their own things.

Tonight, let's see how much Bai Zhi can refine.

As for the Earth-ranked spells...

They are still mediocre.

If he cultivates them himself, even with the jade slips prepared by the saints, it would still take at least a month for him to comprehend them, no matter how high his comprehension is.

If the comprehension is not high, it may take three to five years to understand. After all, Earth-ranked spells are not cabbage; each comprehension is a great opportunity.

"But... to me, they are like cabbages!"

Ying Wuji shook his head. He didn't expect that his show at the grand event would end up being a wholesale dealer of mediocre goods.

How annoying.

Upon closer inspection...

How frustrating!

Confucianism: "The Virtue of Benevolence and Forgiveness"

Mohism: "The Field of Non-Attack"

Legalism: "The Prison of Laws"

Wow, he has the last two himself.

But this "Virtue of Benevolence and Forgiveness" seems to have some special effects. It is a pure spiritual control skill.

The "Virtue" technique is like a halo of a saint, as long as it is placed on the target's head, it can make the target feel compassion for the world.

The "Forgiveness" technique is like a hat of forgiveness. Even for the biggest mistakes, they can be forgiven.

The most terrifying thing is that these two halos have absolute effects.

Below the level of saints, no matter how great the difference in strength is, they can still have an absolute effect.

However, the duration of the effect will increase with the difference in strength and the intensity of the target's own thoughts.

Controlling for even just one second is still control!

This kind of forced effect is the key factor for this skill to reach the Earth rank.

"Wow!"

Ying Wuji couldn't help but grin.

He didn't know if the three sages had planned it in advance, but the skills they provided were all restrictive skills.

Confucianism forcefully promotes benevolence and forgiveness.

Mohism forcefully promotes non-attack.

Legalism forcefully promotes techniques.

If all three are used at the same time, the target will immediately become a saint bound by law and morality.

Just imagine, what kind of killing power can this saint have?

Ying Wuji smacked his lips. This spell can be practiced!

He immediately sat cross-legged and placed the jade slip on his forehead. In the next moment, he saw an image of a Confucian sage with white temples appearing in his mind. The appearance of this sage was exactly the same as the portrait of Meng Sheng.

Then, the sage began to talk about the path of benevolence and forgiveness.

Under the guidance of the sage, Ying Wuji felt that the resentment in his heart seemed to have diminished a lot.

Soon, the guidance ended.

He felt that he only vaguely understood some of it.

But at this moment, the Confucian Qi cultivation that was condensed when he copied "Cultivate Oneself, Regulate the Family, Govern the State, and Pacify the World" rushed into his mind from his chest.

It was like dispelling the fog, dissipating all doubts.

After a quarter of an hour, the Qi cultivation was exhausted.

And this "Virtue of Benevolence and Forgiveness" had completely merged into Ying Wuji's own use.

Ying Wuji: "..."

So this is how the Qi cultivations of the different schools work.

But it seems a bit too extravagant. The Qi cultivation condensed from copying articles is more than the two Confucian Qi cultivations he won combined. Outside, it can allow two people to attempt to break through the twelfth level of Qi cultivation, but here, he only learned one Earth-ranked spell.

Although Earth-ranked spells are precious, they are still far from being able to raise the Spiritual Embryo by one rank.

He looked up and saw that it was getting dark.

Suddenly, he felt a sense of emptiness.

Originally, breaking through the Triple Twelfth Level was quite exciting. He was ready to enter the Tomb of the Bandits and have some fun. After all, the royal family would also send people to protect him, even if it was dangerous, it wouldn't be too dangerous.

But in the end, his father-in-law played a trick on him.

Now he didn't know what to do. It felt really empty.

Just then, Hua Chao's voice came from outside the door.

"Wuji, are you asleep?"

Her voice was very soft. If Ying Wuji wasn't alert, he might not have heard it.

He sat up, "Not yet, what's wrong?"

Hua Chao heard his energetic voice and breathed a sigh of relief. She spoke in a normal volume, "Many people from the bookstore have come. They said they want to attend your celebration banquet and won't stop until they bankrupt Shang Mo Bookstore."

"Oh?"

Ying Wuji's mouth curled up slightly. It was inevitable that people would be jealous when he took all the benefits for himself.

But those who are jealous to the point of itching their teeth definitely won't come to the celebration banquet.

He asked, "Who are they?"

Hua Chao smiled, "The lady from the Kingdom of Chu and Xiang Ding, Officer Wu from the Flying Fish Guards, Jiang Lefu Ling from Zhou Wangji, Zhao Ling from the Zhao family, Zhai Yun and Wu Dan are here too, and Gongsun Di from your Kingdom Qian..."

"They all came!"

Ying Wuji stood up, "Tell our chef to work overtime. I'll pay an extra thirty taels of silver. I'll cover it!"

"Okay!"

Hua Chao chuckled lightly and went to prepare.

Ying Wuji changed into clean clothes and walked out of the room with a smirk.

The courtyard was already filled with people. As soon as they saw Ying Wuji, they started cheering and insisted that he bring out his wealth for everyone to enjoy.Ying Wuji sat down with a smile and said, "Anyway, today's meal is on me. You guys can eat as much as you want. If you can eat me bankrupt, then it's your skill. If you can't, then blame yourselves for being useless."

He thought to himself that although the chefs on his side were good, they only cooked dishes that were at the level of high-end restaurants.

How much could they possibly eat?

Zhao Ning couldn't help but chuckle and said, "Brother Ying, really?"

Ying Wuji: "..."

Looking at her smile, it seemed a bit off.

But since they had already reached this point, he could only suppress his uneasiness and said, "Of course, I'm serious..."

Zhao Ning smirked and said, "That's great! This time, I brought seven imperial chefs from the palace, and I also brought ingredients from the imperial kitchen. I won't charge you extra, just the cost price. Your wealth should be enough."

Ying Wuji: "???"

Damn!

Others just wanted to eat up his money, but this guy wanted to make money off him?

His mouth twitched. Don't wait for me to choose a princess. If you provoke me, wear the clothes I taught you on our wedding night.

Amidst the laughter, Ying Wuji pulled Zhao Ning aside and said, "Brother Zhao! I don't think I've offended you, do you really want to eat me bankrupt?"

Zhao Ning pursed his lips and said, "Brother Ying, don't say that. Today, Brother Ying has gained a lot. I'm also envious. Just consider it as my petty thoughts!"

"Envious, huh?"

"Yes!"

"Take this then!"

After saying that, he directly passed a Mo Family's energy cultivation method to Zhao Ning, then said in a deep voice, "You pay for today's meal!"

Zhao Ning suddenly became flustered and said, "This, this, this is not right. It's too valuable."

Although she did come to eat Ying Wuji's money, it was only around two to three thousand taels. It was ridiculous to think that she could bankrupt him.

But this energy cultivation method was extremely rare.

Apart from the Hundred Schools Gathering, even the imperial family couldn't easily obtain the energy cultivation methods of the Hundred Schools.

After all, producing additional energy cultivation methods required a strong foundation of energy. Usually, only when the saints of various schools established their own orthodoxy could they appear. Therefore, they were always firmly held by the saints of various families.

The imperial family had never produced a saint, so naturally, they didn't have any extra reserves.

For ordinary people to break through the twelfth level, besides having exceptional talent, they could only be like Ying Wuji, who had achieved something in a certain field and created their own unique energy cultivation method.

This energy cultivation method... was truly too precious.

Ying Wuji smiled and said, "Just take it. Aren't we family? I don't know your exact cultivation level now, but with the talent of the Zhao family's bloodline, you should have broken through the twelfth level in refining essence. The Confucian energy cultivation method cultivates essence, while the Mo Family's energy cultivation method cultivates spirit. These are the weak points of the Zhao family's bloodline. Keep this, and it should be beneficial to you."

Zhao Ning: "..."

Indeed, essence and spirit were the weak points of the Zhao family's bloodline, but she had already broken through the twelfth level in refining essence. The only thing she lacked was refining spirit, and this Mo Family's energy cultivation method was just right for that.

In fact, Zhao Ji had wanted to mention this to Ying Wuji in Chongli Palace before. After all, Ying Wuji had two Mo Family's energy cultivation methods, and it would be worth it to exchange for something valuable.

But Zhao Ning didn't want to snatch things from Ying Wuji, so she had to give up.

After all, they had known each other for so many days, and she had always been the one benefiting from Ying Wuji.

The reforms were brought about by him.

The academy was also built with his efforts.

If she were to snatch his energy cultivation method as well, how could she face Ying Wuji in the future?

She had already realized that with Ying Wuji's talent and their relationship, her goal should be to keep him by her side and fight together, leaving a brilliant page in history.

How could she ruin their relationship over a mere Mo Family's energy cultivation method?

But she didn't expect that Ying Wuji would voluntarily offer it to her.

Her eyes slightly reddened, and a feeling of being moved spread in her heart. "Brother Ying, this energy cultivation method is too valuable. I can't..."

"Don't! You deserve it!"

"I..."

"Take this energy cultivation method and help me with one thing!"

"Uh..."

Zhao Ning finally understood. The feeling of "I'm not worthy" in her heart instantly disappeared, and she even felt a sense of relief.

If that's the case, then I can take this energy cultivation method with peace of mind!

She smiled and said, "Brother Ying, please tell me!"

Ying Wuji looked at her face, under the influence of his transformation technique, he could see her true appearance.

He pursed his lips and said, "Actually, during this period of time, I have already considered myself as part of the Zhao family. Brother Zhao has been very good to me, and the Emperor has also been very good to me. But after all, the blood flowing in my body is from the Qian Ying clan. I'm not sure if you all truly consider me as part of the Zhao family."

Zhao Ning became anxious and said, "Of course we do! In a few days, you will be marrying the princess... Brother Ying! What other conditions do you have?"

She paused halfway through her words, feeling a bit unsure of herself.

After all, the status of the princess of the Chongli Palace was not enough.

She could also understand that from Ying Wuji's perspective, no matter how well she and her father, the Emperor, performed, it could still be a facade.

Brother Ying truly wanted to integrate into the royal family of the Li Kingdom.

This sense of security had to be given!

Ying Wuji suddenly felt a little embarrassed and scratched his head. "Can you talk to the Emperor for me... I, I... I want to marry two princesses!"

He finally understood.

When the Crown Prince was in seclusion, no matter what major events happened, "Zhao Ling" was always there. It was truly the treatment of a princess in power. Ying Wuji even suspected that if it weren't for the Crown Prince Zhao Ning, Zhao Ji might even have made this princess the Empress.

And Tang Tang was undoubtedly the one responsible for martial power.

One for politics, one for martial power.

If he married both of them, they would be his own people that even gods couldn't change. He could even change his surname to Zhao on the spot!

His intention was also very clear.

This Mo Family's energy cultivation method was a betrothal gift!

But marrying two princesses at the same time was indeed a bit excessive. Even if he had a thick skin, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

Especially since he made this request to one of the princesses.What does this equate to? It's like confessing to your crush, "Marry me! And bring your sister along to marry me too!"

What a thick skin!

Zhao Ning was also somewhat flustered, "This, this, this, this is unreasonable! As a member of the Zhao clan, I can't possibly make such a request to His Majesty!"

The idea of two princesses marrying the same man was indeed outrageous.

Although, considering Ying Wuji's merits and the status of the princesses of the Li royal family, it wouldn't be inappropriate even if he married them all.

However, such a matter would indeed challenge the dignity of the royal family.

If it were brought up, it's not entirely impossible that Zhao Ji would agree. After all, Ying Wuji is worth it, and the security that comes with having both princesses could make him a steadfast member of the Li royal family. It would be a bargain.

But the one who brings up this matter would definitely be scolded to the point of bleeding, even if it were the crown prince himself.

Ying Wuji said in a deep voice, "Stop pretending! Considering your status in His Majesty's heart, you're the only one who can bring it up now!"

"That's true..."

"See!"

Ying Wuji smirked, if he wanted to marry both, he could only have one of them propose to their father.

Zhao Ning was almost in tears, "But I really dare not..."

I get it!

I need to add more money!

Ying Wuji passed over another strand of Confucian energy and a jade slip containing the "Prison of Laws".

He sighed lightly, "This is the betrothal gift!"

Zhao Ning: "......"

Ying Wuji looked sincere, "I grew up in a foreign land, although I am a prince of the Kingdom Qian, backed by a great nation. But in reality, I have no country, no home. In these twenty years, only Brother Zhao and His Majesty have given me a sense of family. I know my request is despicable, but..."

Zhao Ning felt somewhat moved, "Let me think about it..."

Ying Wuji: (〃'▽'〃)

The chaos in the tomb will continue, the plot will take off again tomorrow.

I have some manuscripts in hand, but not many.

I'll stock up for a few more days, then make a big move.
