"Chapter 14: The Four States"

When the first rays of morning light shone on Li Yiming's face, Li Yiming rubbed his eyes vaguely, I actually slept so dead, since I stepped into cultivation, I would get up early every day to absorb the essence of the sun, and I didn't spend much power of the God of War yesterday, but I used a few shots of my God of War clan's "Life-Continuing Divine Needle", and it was so spiritual, it was really strange!

What Li Yiming didn't know was that he had slept for two days and two nights!

This is not to blame Li Yiming, casting the secret method of the God of War clan does not mean that it needs to consume its own divine power, such as this "Life-Extending Divine Needle", which pays attention to the consumption of the divine soul power of the needle-bearer, according to the human race, it is the power of divine consciousness, divine thought, and soul, and Li Yiming has just stepped into the door of this cultivation world, and it is normal to cast the "Life-Extending Divine Needle" at this time, which is a little powerless.

As soon as Li Yiming woke up, he found that he was sleeping in a spacious bedroom, and the bedroom was empty, Li Yiming tried to shout: "Is there anyone, Brother Zhao?"

The maid outside the door heard that the people in the inner room had woken up, and hurriedly came in to serve: "This young master, our young master ordered us to serve here, do you need to wash now? You have slept for two days and two nights!"

"Help me inform you young owner, I still have something to discuss with him, by the way, get some hot water for me, I'll wash up and meet you young owner!"

I actually slept for two days and two nights, what is the difference between this and a pig! Li Yiming secretly complained to himself!

The maids hurriedly sent someone to inform their young owner, and the remaining few hurriedly brought towels, washbasins, salt, and hot water, all of which were used for washing.

After about a bag of cigarettes, Li Yiming finished washing, and after washing, Li Yiming was refreshed, put on a new clean body, and swept away the sluggish state that consumed the power of the soul.

Under the leadership of the maids, they walked into the meeting hall of the Zhao Mansion.

Zhao Yixiong Zhao Dezhu had been waiting in the hall for a long time, and when he saw Li Yiming walking in, Zhao Dezhu stood up first, put his hand on Li Yiming's shoulder, and walked in side by side.

"Dad, this is the brother I recognize, his name is Li Yi, a cultivator who came out of the 100,000 mountains, it is Li Yi who took out the four-grade spirit grass and used the secret method to pull you out of the door of death!" Zhao Dezhu introduced Li Yiming warmly.

"This is Mr. Li Yi who saved my life? The old decay cultivation went wrong, fortunately Mr. Li generously rescued him, and he was bowed by the old man first!"

Li Yiming panicked, he was most afraid of this, he was young, how could he receive such a big gift from the elders, and hurriedly went over to support Zhao Yixiong: "Zhao Dezhu and I have recognized brothers, how can I bear such a big gift from my uncle, how can you let me be a person, a longevity boy! If my uncle wants to thank me, it is better to tell the kitchen to stew me more meat!"

Zhao Yixiong saw that Li Yiming had a strong attitude, so he had no choice but to give up: "Mr. Li is young, and he has such a wonderful medical skill, which is really much more worthy of the name than many "alchemy masters"!"

After Zhao Yixiong woke up, Zhao Dezhu told his father 1510 that Li Yiming took out the four-grade spirit grass and blue wave grass, and he also invited Master Xu, but Master Xu insisted on paying 100,000 gold and 1,000 yuan crystals before he was willing to open the furnace for alchemy, but the gold can be made up, and the yuan crystal is hard to find, so he was forced to have no choice, fortunately Li Yi's magical medical skills were able to treat Zhao Yixiong.

"I don't know where Mr. Li wants to fight when he comes out of the 100,000 Mountain?" Zhao Yixiong asked.

"Uncle, just call me Yiming in the future, my original name is Li Yi, and the village gentleman changed my name to Yiming, I respect the wishes of the elders in the family, and I want to go to the Eastern Shenzhou, and do you know the Xuanyuan Dynasty?"

"Oh, it turns out that your full name is Li Yiming, a blockbuster, very good, uncle also hopes that you can be as famous as you are, a blockbuster! As for the Eastern Shenzhou, it is the first of these four major Shenzhou, where there are top Xiuzhen sects, and the strongest central dynasty on the continent, the Xuanyuan Dynasty, but we are now in Danzhou in the southwest, and it is estimated that it is more than 100,000 miles away from this Eastern Shenzhou, Yiming, it is not easy for you to go to the Eastern Shenzhou!"

"Thank you uncle for telling me, no matter how far the road is, I don't dare to be afraid, the elders in the family want me to go to the Eastern Shenzhou, and there are still some things that must go to the Eastern Shenzhou, so the younger generations dare not go. ”

"Since it is the meaning of the elders in your family, I don't dare to persuade you, Eastern Shenzhou, just a general statement, there is a rich land, there is a dynasty, four principalities, eight main cities, and many powerful forces, sects, it is simply a bottomless sea, where fish and dragons are mixed, there are many masters, and there are five major families, although the territory of Eastern Shenzhou is vast, but it is also a place where dragons haunt, Yiming, you have to be careful!"

"Thank you uncle for your concern, can you tell the younger generation about the Eastern Shenzhou, the younger generation has lived in the 100,000 mountains for a long time, but I don't have this opinion. ”

"In fact, the strength of the Eastern Shenzhou is completely because the Xuanyuan clan, the ancestor leader of our human race, laughed to the end in the ancient war of annihilation, and created the first dynasty of the human race in today's Eastern Shenzhou, which is today's Xuanyuan Dynasty, the Xuanyuan Dynasty has a heritage of 10,000 years, and generation after generation of excellent descendants, as the saying goes, it is easy to fight the country and it is difficult to defend the country, but the Xuanyuan Dynasty has indeed been inherited for 10,000 years, and it is already the existence of the "Big Mac" in this cultivation world!"

Zhao Yixiong picked up the cup on the table, took a sip of tea to moisten his throat and continued. In addition to the Eastern Shenzhou, there are Luzhou in the west, Youzhou in the north, and Yuezhou in the south, which are the four major land territories divided by the human race, and the Eastern Shenzhou has top sects and imperial forces, which I have already told you before.

Youzhou in the north borders the territory of the demons, where there are constant wars, cold weather, lack of materials, barren land, and an extremely cold and barren land, where a powerful fortress has been established, called "Demon Punishment", which is jointly managed by the Xiuzhen Alliance to resist the invasion of the demons. And Youzhou has many demon clan forces, and the relationship is complicated, and it is a place of war.

And Luzhou in the west also has a dynasty power, but it does not have the huge heritage of the Xuanyuan clan, which is the Li Tang clan that rose five hundred years ago, the ancestor of the Li dynasty, a body of cultivation to reach the realm of heaven and man, five hundred years can step into the heavenly and human period, that is the top combat power of the human race, Li Tang's surname is Li, with "Datang" as the national name, although it is not as good as Xuanyuan's, but it is also a hegemon.

As for the last southern Yuezhou, near several seas, where it is warm and humid all year round, rich in products, is the location of many top commercial houses, the southern Yuezhou was a mountainous and barren land at the beginning, but the people living there took advantage of the characteristics of shipping, prompted the traffic of freight, and accumulated a lot of wealth in recent thousands of years, so there is also a dynasty there, called the Oriental Dynasty.

Legend has it that the Dongfang family is friendly with the demon clan, so the southern sea was originally the habitat of the demon clan, but the Dongfang family does not know how to negotiate with the leader of the demon clan.

This Oriental Dynasty has a great background, it is the aboriginal of the Eastern Shenzhou, and the ancestor is also one of the leaders of the human race during the ancient hegemony period, called the Oriental Clan!

Later, after the victory of the human race in the World Destruction War, the Xuanyuan clan has developed into a behemoth, as the aboriginal of the eastern Shenzhou, the Oriental clan left their homeland and went south to Yuezhou, after countless generations of development, now has accumulated countless wealth, legend has it that the Oriental clan secretly competes with the Xuanyuan clan, and sooner or later one day will wave the army to the north and regain the glory of the ancestors!

After listening to the explanations of the four major states, Li Yiming completely subverted his perception of the outside world, Li Yiming thought that he was in the middle of the 100,000 mountains, which was vast enough, even if he walked out of more than 100,000 mountains, it would take several days, and now he heard that the continent under his feet was so wide, and he sighed secretly, what year and month will I be able to go to the Eastern Shenzhou!

Zhao Yixiong also noticed Li Yiming's depressed mood, and immediately comforted: "Actually, Yiming, don't sigh, Eastern Shenzhou is indeed far away from here, but I can give you two suggestions, either you have a strong cultivation and can fly with a sword, which can greatly reduce the time on the road, and the second is that you have a large number of Yuan Crystals, you can sit in the teleportation array, which is also a quick way!"

Li Yiming's face was even more ugly, and he still replied to Zhao Lixiong respectfully: "Uncle, you also know that I was born in a hundred thousand mountains, and I lack cultivation exercises, I am the acquired person who has refined my body, not to mention Yuanjing, the elders in my family have given me more than a dozen, and they are all the belongings, the kid really wants to have no strength, no money, how can this be good? Uncle, I asked weakly, can I walk?"

Zhao Yixiong laughed: "You kid, if you don't have enough strength, you can enter a sect first, if you don't have enough money, you can work at your uncle's place, if you want 100,000 taels of gold, your uncle can make it up for you, but the money for sitting in the teleportation array starts with tens of thousands of crystals, and you have to sit in several teleportation arrays and then take the battleship spirit boat across the East China Sea, you can reach the Eastern Shenzhou, as for leaving, can you swim through the East China Sea for hundreds of thousands of nautical miles?"

Li Yiming smiled bitterly: "Uncle, is there really no other way to let me go to Eastern Shenzhou?" Li Yiming rubbed his temples, this is also a real headache.

Zhao Yixiong picked up the cup, took a sip of tea, moistened his throat, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration: "Yiming, do you simply go to Eastern Shenzhou to visit relatives and friends, or do you want to do something else?"

Li Yiming heard this and replied honestly: "My priority is to worship the top sect and learn powerful cultivation techniques, and then I have a doll in Eastern Shenzhou, and this time it is also the meaning of the family elders, if the woman's family still recognizes, she will marry me, and if she doesn't recognize it, she will destroy the marriage contract on the spot." ”

Zhao Yixiong suddenly realized: "It turns out that Yiming is so that you want to go to this Eastern Shenzhou, and you want to marry a daughter......-in-law!

After hearing this, Li Yiming replied excitedly: "Uncle, say it quickly, don't make fun of the kid! What is the way, if you don't spend money, time is very generous for me!"

Zhao Yixiong replied: "On the land of these four states, our Terran ancestors are collectively called "the land of China", after the war of annihilation, the ancestors of the Terran have settled in these four states, in order to select outstanding descendants, Xuanyuan proposed to hold a scientific expedition every twenty years in the four major states to select outstanding Terran descendants!"

Li Yiming anxiously interrupted Zhao Lixiong's words: "Uncle, what is this scientific expedition?"

"Don't worry, listen to me carefully, the scientific examination is divided into literary test and martial arts test, the avenue is three thousand, each is different, the literary test is entered by literature, referred to as Confucianism and Taoism!

Confucianism and Taoism pay attention to the concept of literary brilliance, uprightness, and high talent, and the concept of teaching without class. Confucianism and Taoism cultivation is Confucianism and Taoism holy qi, Confucianism and Taoism holy qi in the face of the two demon races, has an innate restraint advantage, the ancestors of the human race have a Confucian and Taoist saint named Confucius, in the war of annihilation against the demons and demons, with Confucianism and Taoism holy qi to cast a sword, a sword out, demons destroyed, Confucius sage one stroke, kill 100,000 demon coalition troops!" Zhao Yixiong said slowly.

Li Yiming was secretly surprised, scholars also kill? Moreover, one person can kill 100,000 demons, which really subverts his perception of scholars, because in Lijia Village, there is only one scholar, Mr. Li Zhi, who is usually gentle and elegant, and treats people amiably, and he really can't see that he is a strong person......

"Uncle, what is the martial arts test?" Li Yiming asked anxiously!

"The martial arts test is a test of the level of personal spiritual roots and actual combat, as well as the understanding of the strategy of the military book. Let's talk about the spiritual root first, the human race generally divides the spiritual root into five common categories: gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, and the spiritual root is divided into three, six, nine, etc., the same attribute spiritual root, divided into one to nine products, one product is the secondary, and the nine products are respected.

There are also some mutated spiritual roots, such as ice, wind, thunder, and so on. Legend has it that the thunder spirit root is the most rebellious, you can get close to the power of the thunder, this kind of spirit root is amazingly destructive, and then there is the golden spirit root, generally the gold spirit root chooses the sword immortal, and the sword cultivation should be recognized as the first existence in the cultivation world.

The fire spirit root is also the most powerful spirit root, the fire spirit root overhaul in the heavenly and human period, just like the sun, a fire system exercise, can burn everything, melt the mountains and boil the sea! Everywhere you go, not a single inch of grass grows! The remaining spirit roots are all auxiliary type spirit roots, so I won't introduce you more.

In actual combat, it is to suppress the same realm, and if you can't use a powerful magic weapon, if you need a weapon, the official will provide a unified weapon for actual combat testing!

As for the art of war test, it's a bit like a literary test, the test is your troop arrangement, judgment of the battle situation, and your strategy for using troops, etc.!"

"Uncle, then if I take this exam, I will be able to go to Eastern Shenzhou?" Li Yiming asked curiously.

"Strictly speaking, after participating in this imperial examination, you have to become the top three in each state before you can have the opportunity to go to the Eastern Shenzhou to participate in the general palace examination, but once you become the top three on all continents, the imperial forces and sect forces in each state will try their best to keep you practicing in this state, select the top sects for you, powerful exercises, in short, do everything possible to keep you in this state, after all, it is a genius produced by your own big state, and it will not easily indulge you to go to the Eastern Shenzhou!" Zhao Yixiong patiently explained.

"Okay, I'll take part in this imperial examination, this is the only way to let me go to Eastern Shenzhou! Uncle doesn't know when this imperial examination will be held? I'm going to prepare!"

"There is still one year and eight months before the next imperial examination, if you have the heart to take the exam, I can invite the best teacher in Xiangyang City to tutor you, which can be regarded as a great favor for you to save my life!"

"The nephew thanked his uncle first, and asked his uncle not to mention the great grace of saving his life in the future. I have recognized Zhao Dezhu as a brother, and I have lost both parents since I was a child, his father is my father, as long as my uncle looks up to me, the kid who came out of the mountains, it will become!"

Zhao Yixiong welcomed and laughed: "Okay! good! Although the old man is not a hegemon, but he is also a rich and noble family who has accumulated a little wealth, but the old man has a son, only Dezhu has a child, Yiming You can think so, of course I am happy, today I will recognize you as my righteous son, the old man is a businessman, I can have your righteous son with superb medical skills, I am high!"

Li Yiming knelt down and said respectfully: "Child, Yiming, see Daddy today!"

Zhao Yixiong hurriedly replied: "Child, hurry up, it's good to have a heart, from now on, we will be commensurate with father and son, but treat each other sincerely!"

Zhao Yixiong shouted loudly: "Zhao Si, immediately notify the kitchen, prepare all kinds of ingredients, three days later, I will feast guests and friends, and invite all the families who are good friends in Xiangyang City and our Zhao family, I Zhao Yixiong is sixty years old, add another son, Zhao Mansion is a happy event, go quickly!"

Zhao Si received the order, hurriedly ran to the account room, paid the silver, and notified the kitchen to prepare the ingredients!

Li Yiming didn't recognize his relatives just because he coveted the wealth of the Zhao family, but he really walked out of the 100,000 mountains, and Zhao Dezhu's family really gave Li Yiming the warmth of his family.

Before leaving the mountain, Mr. Li Zhi repeatedly instructed how snobbish and cunning the human race in the outside world was, so that Li Yiming paid attention again and again, but the father and son of the Zhao family are both temperamental, and they treat Li Yiming with warmth and care, and they do not dislike the poor boy who came out of the mountains.
