Commander Wei died, the army sent by the Xuan Dynasty was either killed or surrendered, and the strength of the First Army was rapidly growing.

The First Army originally had more than 100,000 people, but in this battle, more than 80,000 people were captured by surrender, which increased the number of soldiers in the First Army to more than 200,000.

"Zhuge Xuan, you and General Wang go together to break through all the cities in Lijun and completely occupy Lijun. Ye Xingchen ordered.

"The subordinates receive the order. Zhuge Xuandao.

However, before you can break through the county, you need to deal with the soldiers who surrendered or were captured.

Ye Xingchen doesn't have to worry about these things, Mr. Wang will handle them.

After he returned to Taihu City, he entered the secret room and devoted himself to cultivation.

His cultivation had reached a bottleneck, and it was difficult for him to improve any further, unless he was willing to break through the realm and enter the Little Heaven Realm.

Ye Xingchen was not in a hurry to break through, he needed to lay a firm foundation in the Quasi-Small Heaven Realm.

First of all, it is the cultivation of the physical body, opening up the acupoints, and then the enhancement of the power of the divine consciousness.

It took three days to refine tens of thousands of spirit crystals, as well as a fifth-order high-grade blood yuan pill, and Ye Xingchen opened up the twenty-first acupoint.

It took another five days to take a seventh-order treasure medicine and open up the twenty-second acupuncture point.

It took another ten days to absorb the jade aura in the divine jade and open up the twenty-third acupuncture point.

When Ye Xingchen wanted to open up the twenty-fourth acupoint, he couldn't open it up, as if there was some obstacle.

"For more than half a month, three acupuncture points have been opened up in a row, and the physical body's bearing capacity has reached the limit, and it takes a while to get used to it. ”

Ye Xingchen stretched his body, the blood and qi in his body were surging like a big river, and infinite power gushed out from the depths of his body, feeling that he could shatter a big mountain with one punch and kill a high-level martial artist in the Little Heaven Realm.

Twenty-three acupuncture points have been opened, and the strength of his physical body is already comparable to that of a high-level martial artist of the small heavenly rank, and if he fights in close combat, he can burst the high-level small heavenly realm with one punch.

The physical body is raised to the limit, and the next step is to improve the divine consciousness.

Ye Xingchen's divine consciousness cultivation is at the seventh rank of the spirit level, which is equivalent to an ordinary low-level martial artist of the small heavenly rank.

Swapping out some elixirs to improve his divine consciousness from within the system, Ye Xingchen planned to refine the elixir and improve his divine sense.

It is worth mentioning that after he made the decision to overthrow the Xuan Dynasty, the Qi Luck value in the system gradually increased. After Dongzhou and Cangyue counties took refuge in him, the qi luck value in the system has exceeded 10 million, reaching 50 million.

That's why he used enough qi luck to exchange for pills, array plates and other utensils.

The center of his eyebrows glowed, and a wisp of divine consciousness poked out, wrapped in an elixir like a stream of water, and entered the sea of consciousness.

Suddenly the medicinal fragrance in the sea of consciousness flowed like smoke, and after the divine consciousness was absorbed, it was constantly improving, gradually from the early stage of the seven spiritual grades, to the middle stage, the late stage, and the peak.

"Buzz!"

In an instant, it was like eternity, and the divine consciousness broke through and reached the eighth grade of the spirit level.

In the sea of consciousness, at this moment, lightning and thunder roared, divine consciousness was as bright as stars, and the phantom of the World Tree became more real, as if it was about to descend from the primeval time and space to this life.

In the blink of an eye, more than ten days have passed, Ye Xingchen has refined the pill, and his divine sense has been raised to the peak of the eighth grade of the spirit level, and he is still one step away from entering the ninth grade of the spirit level.

However, that trace is like seeing flowers in the fog, and it can't be pierced.

"It's almost a little bit of accumulation and grinding. Ye Xingchen muttered to himself.

During the month of his retreat, a lot of things have changed outside.

Zhuge Xuan and General Wang led the army, and in a few days, they broke through all the cities in Lijun, so that Lijun was under the rule of Taihu County, and then it took more than ten days to break through Yunwu County, and in another ten days, they broke through Qingming County.

Just attacking the three counties, the current strength of Taihu County is very simple, but then to appease the people's hearts and make the people of the three counties recognize, it will take a certain amount of time and manpower.

However, all this was carried out in an orderly manner by Mr. Wang, and the army that surrendered and captured was subdued by Mr. Wang in just one month.

After Ye Xingchen left the customs, he summoned Mr. Wang, General Wang and Zhuge Xuan to a meeting to discuss the management of Lijun, Yunwu County, and Qingming County.

"The people of the three counties are not exclusive to us, so it is very easy to govern. Mr. Wang said.

After conquering the three counties, the soldiers did not plunder the people in the city, but only emptied the city lord's mansion.

"Young master, in order to prevent the officials of the three counties from making trouble, I think those officials who do not approve of us will be demoted to a higher level, and those who are talented but will not be able to do so for some reasons. Zhuge Xuandao.

Ye Xingchen nodded and said, "Yes, you are responsible for the specific matters, as long as you are loyal, even if your cultivation is a little worse, you can use the pill to help them improve their cultivation." ”

"In the selection of your officials, you must treat them equally, men and women, young and old, on the basis of merit and loyalty. ”

"Young master, you can hold imperial examinations in each county, so that you can not only tap talents, but also buy people's hearts. Mr. Wang said.

Ye Xingchen has seen the imperial examination system, but this system is not in Taixu, and those dynasties have not implemented it, and outside Taixu, those dynasties and dynasties have only implemented it.

This meeting was held very late, and it was not until late at night that several people went back to prepare for tomorrow's affairs.

However, everyone's cultivation is still very high, and there is no problem with not sleeping for a few days and nights.

"Father. ”

Ye Xingchen left the hall and walked to the backyard, where he saw Ye Tianfeng still sitting in the courtyard, looking at some accounts.

In the past, the Ye family's accounts and other matters were handled by Mr. Wang and Ye Tianfeng together, but now Mr. Wang is in charge of the First Army and has to manage the counties, and all the Ye family's affairs fall to Ye Tianfeng alone.

Moreover, since the Ye family's power has expanded more than ten times, the affairs are much busier.

"Xingchen......" Ye Tianfeng put down the account in his hand and said with a smile.

"Father, some of the family's affairs can be handed over to the Great Elder, Second Elder and others, and the younger generation of the family has improved rapidly in the past year, and they can also manage the family. Ye Xingchen said.

The family is managed by Ye Tianfeng, and the forces such as Taihu County are controlled by Ye Xingchen, and the two parties cooperate with each other, but do not interfere with each other.

Ye Tianfeng thought for a while and said, "It's okay, it's time for the juniors of the family to exercise." ”

As he spoke, he picked up a brush and wrote some names on the paper to arrange affairs.

Ye Xingchen and Ye Tianfeng chatted until dawn and had breakfast together before parting.

"Young Master, Miss Jade Hanshuang, I would like to ask to see you and discuss cooperation. "An elder came to tell him.

"Business cooperation, not all of them are handed over to my father, why would she come to me?" Ye Xingchen was puzzled, but he still decided to see Yu Hanshuang.

He walked into the welcoming courtyard, and there were already several figures in the water pavilion in the center of the courtyard.

In fact, a woman sitting, green silk like a waterfall, vertical to the waist, sitting there quietly, there is a kind of beautiful temperament.

Behind the woman, there were several warriors, with tall postures and strong breaths, obviously cultivating very strongly.
