Mengzhou is relatively large in area among all the states of the Min Dynasty, and its economic strength is much stronger than other states, although there are also two states, the area is the smallest, but the economy adds up to the first place in the Min Dynasty, and it can even be compared with the Min Dynasty.

An important factor in measuring a state's economic strength is the number of alchemists and their grades.

In the past, there were only more than a hundred alchemy masters in Xiaozhou, where Jiufang Ming was located, of which only Ye Chang was a fifth-grade alchemist, and the rest were all below the fifth-grade level, in this case, Xiaozhou could be ranked in the top ten among the major states of the Min Dynasty.

Today's Xiaozhou, even if there is only one alchemist in Jiufang Ming, he can be ranked first, for no other reason, a nine-grade alchemist is worth thousands of eight-grade alchemists, not to mention that there are two or three grades everywhere.

Dream City, in the middle of a secluded lakeside, there is a man and a woman boating and fishing, so comfortable.

Jiufang Ming held the fishing rod, looked at the calm lake, and recalled the past.

And a stone suddenly broke the peace, and the sound of Jiufang followed the sound, it was Yan Qitong who threw it.

"It's been a long time, and still no fish have taken the bait. Yan Qitong looked at the water and threw another stone.

At this time, Jiufang Ming, who was wearing a hat, coupled with the white hair exposed, made people think that this was an old man fishing.

Jiufang Ming smiled and said nothing, feeling the girl's snuggling, and the breeze blowing on his face, but Jiufang Ming no longer felt Yan Qitong's lively breath.

"You've changed. Jiufang Ming fiddled with the fishing rod and said.

The boat floated on the huge lake, and the soul butterfly flowers on the lakeside were scattered in the wind, and when they fell, they flew like butterflies.

Yan Qitong got up absentmindedly, and then hugged Jiufang Ming from behind.

The heart of the Nine Directions is rippling, like a lake, and there are 10,000 soul butterfly flowers falling into.

"But I still like it. Jiufang Ming took off his hat and turned his head to kiss Yan Qitong.

After a long time, the lips of the two parted, and Jiufang put away the fishing rod with satisfaction, but the fish was not caught.

Nanming Gong boated and fished, not intended to fish.

"The beautiful scenery of Dream Lake is rare in the world. Jiufang Ming watched countless soul butterfly flowers fall at this moment, regretting it at the same time, but he was really shocked.

The soul butterfly flower blooms once a day and withers on the day it opens, so you can see this wonder almost every day.

"In the future, there will be very few such beautiful scenery around me. "Jiufang Ming caught a soul butterfly flower.

Yan Qitong smiled, "Where you are, it is beautiful." ”

Jiufang watched the Soul Butterfly Flower wither rapidly, then flipped his palm and let it fall into the water.

"I will live up to you in this life. Jiufang got up, drove the boat to the shore, and then slowly left.

............

After some long journeys, Jiufang Ming and Yan Qitong stopped and stopped, and finally arrived in Xiaozhou, and it was not far to return to Jiufang City.

After many days of tiring journey, Jiufang Ming and Yan Qitong found an inn to stay temporarily.

As soon as he lay on the bed, Jiufang Ming felt a deep sleep, and it was difficult for the pill to dispel.

In the haze, Jiufang Ming noticed that there was a formation under his feet, and it seemed to be ......

A thousand years ago, the Yunteng Continent felt the chaotic Illusory Yuan Power, and the Nine Directions immediately made a judgment.

Jiufang came out of the big array and stopped in an open space in front of the main hall, the ground was extraordinary, but a whole naturally formed superb yuan stone.

The whole open space is glowing with various colors, corresponding to the five elements. The intensity of the Phantom Yuan Force far exceeded that of any other place on the Yunteng Continent, and it was really a creation that seized heaven and earth, violating the laws of heaven and earth.

This place is still a hundred meters away from the main hall, but it is a place where some of the sect members of the Honghuang Temple live and cultivate, and the concentration of Yuan Force has reached an outrageous level.

Although cultivating here is very dangerous, after all, this Desolate Sanctuary is in the most dangerous mountain range in the Yunteng Continent, but it has the advantage of being a hundred times faster than cultivating elsewhere.

And although this is just an open space, ordinary disciples are not qualified to set foot in half a step at all, only those who have cultivated high enough can go to this open space to cultivate, and the time is limited, according to the level of cultivation.

Practicing for one hour to three days a year, and the rest of the year, it is necessary to consolidate the benefits gained from here.

It's not that the Flood Desolation Temple is stingy, it's just that the vitality of Lingyan Pavilion is too strong, if you don't have enough cultivation, you won't be able to bear it even if you stay here for a minute, and you will explode and die, and even the dantian will be blown to pieces.

Although the new disciples live next to the Lingyan Pavilion, they can only enter for half a day at most every year, and of course, the benefits of living next to the Lingyan Pavilion are already privileges.

There were already people in the Lingyan Pavilion, and all the twelve generations of disciples of the Flood Desolation Temple that they had seen during the day, together with the overlord Kou Tian, a total of eleven people, were all sitting cross-legged on the ground, closing their eyes and concentrating, holding all kinds of magic tricks in their hands, looking like they were facing a great enemy.

The shock in Jiufang Ming's heart at this time was really indescribable, and he recognized at a glance that the positions and techniques of these masters of the Flood Desolation Temple were forming the top formation of the Flood Desolation Temple, the Phantom Heaven Array.

In this special period of the Five Elements Disorder, only in Lingyan Pavilion, a holy place that violates the common sense of heaven and earth, can the formation be used normally.

Jiufang Ming was about to make the next move, but found that he couldn't move at all, and the more he struggled, the more painful it became, even though he knew that this was a dream, but Jiufang Ming was still intoxicated.

"Huh" Jiufang Ming woke up suddenly, and then noticed that Yan Qitong was sitting on the edge of the bed looking at him worriedly, looking helpless.

As soon as he touched his forehead, Jiufang Ming found that he was in a cold sweat, and he was extremely uncomfortable.

After getting up, Jiufang Ming first disposed of the dirt on his body, and then changed into a new set of clothes, before he walked out with palpitations.

"Are you okay!" Yan Qitong asked with concern, not knowing what to say, Jiufang Ming struggled in his sleep, and his reaction in the outside world was that his face was pale, and no matter how Yan Qitong called, he couldn't wake up.

"It's okay, it must be caused by the soul butterfly flower. Jiufang Ming recalled that he only cared about boating and fishing with Yan Qitong before, ignoring the toxicity of the soul butterfly flower, and having been exposed to the soul butterfly flower pollen for so long, it was no wonder that Jiufang Ming fell into an illusory and ethereal dream.

It's no wonder that this lakeside is called Dream Lake, pun intended, although the scenery of the soul butterfly flower is beautiful, but absorbing too much pollen, it will lead to the next time you go to bed, as for whether it is a nightmare or a dream, it is not something that people can control.

Jiufang Ming opened the window, it was already noon, since Jiufang Ming stepped into the cultivation road, it was the first time that he slept for such a long time, and it was the case that he did not enter the cultivation, under normal circumstances, the cultivation of the Phantom Monk was equivalent to the rest of ordinary humans, unless the Phantom Yuan Power was exhausted, the Phantom Monk would choose to use sleep to naturally replenish the Phantom Yuan Power.

"This is Su Yingcheng in Xiaozhou, and it's not too far from my hometown, so it's better to go back while playing. Jiufang Ming looked at Yan Qitong and said.

As for going home, Jiufang Ming is not very urgent, his father, mother and eldest brother are safe and sound, and he has nothing else to ask for.

Yan Qitong smiled, and was also full of curiosity about everything in the Min Dynasty.

After settling the accommodation fee, Jiufang Ming wore a black robe, while Yan Qitong changed into a very ordinary plain clothes, in order not to attract attention, Yan Qitong chose a more popular style of white.

In fact, there is another purpose of Jiufang Ming, which is to inspect Su Yingcheng, although he cannot gather troops privately, but for the people's hearts, Jiufang Ming is still bound to win.

After shopping around, Yan Qitong bought all the Jiufang Ming that Yan Qitong wanted without saying a word, and Jiufang Ming counted it, I am afraid that the wealth he has can be worth a Su Yingcheng.

"For so many years, I haven't really given you any gifts......" Jiufang remembered the last time he ate deflated at Shangguan Yun, and couldn't help but feel a little regretful, Min Jiuge was already his wife, but she still had Min Jingwei in her body, and she was still the descendant of her enemy Min Ning, and he would leave her at most a way to survive when the time came.

"With you by my side, it's enough. Yan Qitong smiled playfully, and then pulled Jiufang Ming to walk slowly around the downtown area.

All kinds of exquisite trinkets, Jiufang Ming also bought them all, as long as Yan Qitong likes them, even if they take a look, there is no hesitation.

"Are you homesick?" asked Jiufang Ming suddenly.

Yan Qitong looked at Jiufang Ming seriously, "I don't want to." ”

Seeing Yan Qitong shook his head, the sadness in the depths of his eyes was still discovered by Jiufang Ming.

Jiufang Ming bought two sky lanterns from the vendor at random, and then gave one to Yan Qitong.

How can a person not have a reason to be homesick.

"Home. Jiufang Ming looked at the sky lantern, all his relatives in his previous life were all killed by Emperor Mintian, and the Fang family disappeared from this Min Dynasty forever.

Min Ning not only took away his creation, but also smeared his reputation, even his most beloved person.

Jiufang couldn't help but feel heartache when he thought of her, and then he was relieved when he saw Yan Qitong on the side.

"I haven't seen you for a year, how did you go from an illusionist to an illusionist, and you also became a nine-grade alchemist?" Yan Qitong expressed his doubts, the breakthrough of the Nine Directions was really incredible.

"It's just a coincidence. Jiufang Ming then said all the matters, including Min Jiuge's marriage contract with himself.

Of course, in his previous life, he was the identity of the evil emperor Fang Yin, and Jiufang Ming kept silent, no matter who knew this secret, it would be very disadvantageous.

"It turns out that you already have a wife...... Yan Qitong looked indifferent, without the slightest sentimentality.

Jiufang Ming's expression was awe-inspiring, although the Min Dynasty allowed multiple concubines for one wife, but the identity of the concubine was much higher than that of the main wife.

"It's okay, it's enough to be by your side, I can't go anywhere now. Yan Qitong smiled miserably, if she wants to go back now, I'm afraid she won't be accepted.

Jiufang Ming hugged Yan Qitong tightly, "I won't leave you, the ends of the earth." ”

Yan Qitong turned sadness into joy, "If I really marry in Mengzhou, what will happen to you?"

Jiufang was stunned for a moment, and then gave his answer without hesitation.

"Then I'll crush Mengzhou. ”

Yan Qitong kissed Jiufang Ming on the cheek, then carried the sky lantern, and then ran in front of Jiufang Ming.
