Huang Yaoshi had the heart to avenge his family, but how could a behemoth like the Daxi family be something that he could fight against as an alchemist who was no more than the peak of the cold window? Naturally, he thought of taking refuge in other forces. The first thing he thought of was the boy who had rescued him from his cage.

After the fire that shook the whole of Kyoto, not to mention that there must be a deep hatred between this young man and the Daxi family, just with the courage and strength shown by this young man, coupled with his life-saving grace to Huang Yaoshi, it is enough to prove that he is the most suitable candidate for refuge.

He didn't know Shi Zhiyi's name, but he had seen Shi Zhiyi's true face, and he could also deduce that this young man must be a child of the Eight Great Families or Yuezhu Linhai. After the eldest prince and the third prince began to compete for the crown prince, combined with the positions of all forces, Huang Yaoshi easily set the targets of his search on the Shi family in Yunqi City and the Xu family in Fanzhou.

He had secretly observed Xu Jingting, the younger generation of the Xu family in Kyoto, and after finding that it was not the person he was looking for, he began to squat near Shifu. Shi Zhiyi happened to be seen by him when he went out once, Huang Yaoshi was overjoyed, but he did not come forward to recognize him on the spot, but wrote a letter and handed it to the concierge of Shi Fu, expressing his intention to Shi Zhiyi to take refuge.

Shi Zhiyi, who was thinking about whether he should go out and invite an alchemist to come back, was overjoyed when he saw the letter, and the two hit it off when they met. Shi Zhiyi provided medicinal materials, and Huang Yaoshi refined them into pills that supplemented the true yuan. One of the two of them got the pill, and the other had the opportunity to come into contact with a large number of medicinal materials to practice their own alchemy, so it can be said that they each took what they needed, and they were both happy.

Although there is no fire vein in Shi Fu, the pill that Shi Zhiyi needs for cultivation does not have to be a saint-level pill, but a mortal-level seven or eight grades, although it cannot be compared with a saint-grade pill in terms of the speed of true yuan recovery, but fortunately, the amount of recovery is not far behind, and the cost and difficulty of refining are more than an order of magnitude lower, and the flame in the general alchemy room can meet the requirements of alchemy. In a top-level mansion like Shifu, there will naturally be no shortage of alchemy rooms.

In this way, after the battle between Yu Zhongqian and the eldest prince came to an end, Shi Zhiyi began his longest cultivation career since leaving Yunqi City. He is ready to meet the challenge of the new generation of Tianjiao from the Great Jin Dynasty and Kyushu in his best condition.

Generally speaking, the largest number of warriors between the ages of 25 and 30 are about 6 to 70 percent of the total number of participants, the number of warriors between the ages of 20 and 25 is about 3 to 40 percent, and the number of participants under the age of 20 is only 3 to 5 out of 1,000.

Martial artists who are less than twenty can wait to participate in the next Lanchun Conference, if they are too young, although they can broaden their horizons, but the huge gap in strength makes it extremely difficult for them to go further in the competition, and too much disparity in defeat can easily damage a martial artist's martial arts heart.

A thirty-year-old martial artist, if he is not from the Eight Great Families or the Moon Bamboo Forest Sea, can already be regarded as very good if he can cultivate until the late dawn period, but if he is born in the above nine forces, it is a different matter.

Shi Zhiyi estimates that in addition to the Shi family, the leaders of the younger generation of several other forces should have been able to enter the cold window realm at the age of thirty, and the exercises and martial arts of these Tianjiao are not weaker than him at all, if Shi Zhiyi wants to win the battle, it will be difficult.

Therefore, Shi Zhiyi set himself a goal to advance to the peak of dawn before the Spring Conference. He had just reached the late stage of Dawn by swallowing the Hanxu Breaking Realm Pill more than three months ago, and with his cultivation speed, it was not very difficult to advance again within a year, but the important thing was how to work steadily and consolidate his realm, so as not to cause the foundation to be vain due to his eagerness.

In terms of safety, Zhong Yiling, a saint-strong man, is in charge of the Shi Mansion, and daily chores are taken care of by Steward Li, while Shi Zhiyi devotes all his energy to cultivation without distraction.

There is no time for practice.

Summer goes to winter, except for Shi Zhiyi who came out to show his face during the New Year, sent a letter to his father, had a reunion dinner with the whole house, and sent red envelopes, at other times, most of the people in the Shi Mansion couldn't even see the shadow of the master of their own family.

Shi Zhiyi was still thinking about whether he wanted to take a break for a few days during the Tianzhen Feast to see if there was anything good, but he didn't think that when he arrived on the tenth day of the first lunar month, the arrival of a person made Shi Zhiyi have to end his practice for more than half a year in advance.

The person who came was Yu Zhongqian's bodyguard Chen Zhiyi, and he brought a message from Yu Zhongqian, of course, not to Shi Zhiyi in his old age.

The message was only six words: "Yi Ning is getting married!"

After returning to Kyoto, Shi Zhiyi and the lord of Yining County did not have many opportunities to meet, only a handful of times on the night of the Lantern Festival on the Yongji River and the Tianzhen Chinese Feast. On the one hand, in the past half a year, Shi Zhiyi has either stayed away from Kyoto or cultivated in the mansion, and on the other hand, as the lord of Ning, she is not allowed to leave the palace frequently by herself.

When the princess of the Great Jin Dynasty reached the age of eighteen, she was given the title of princess before she could obtain an independent mansion and move out of the palace to live. But not all princesses leave the palace immediately after getting the title of princess, and if they are unmarried, it is common to delay it for three or five years.

But generally speaking, whether it is the common people or the golden branches and jade leaves, when they are eighteen years old, they have already reached the age of talking about marriage, and in three or four months, it will be the eighteenth birthday of the lord of Ning, so it is not a thing worth making a fuss about if Yiling wants to marry.

But the question is, who is Eli going to marry?

From the beginning of the rescue of Shi Zhiyi by the Yu brothers and sisters near the Jiayu Wharf, Shi Zhiyi and Yu Yining went from the birthday feast of the old man Fu in Puzhou to the distress of Ning Yuchuan, and then to the adventure in the belly of the giant dragon Baichen, and was chased and escaped by the Beigong family, until they passed through the wild forest and returned to Kyoto, the two can be said to have lived and died together countless times, and walked together nearly half of the southern foot of the Yudai Mountain Range, and between the two people, there was a deep affection.

Although along the way, most of the time, Shi Zhiyi was taking care of and protecting the county lord of Yining, but the latter also saved Shi Zhiyi's life in the most critical time, and when the county lord of Yining was by his side, Shi Zhiyi had an inexplicable sense of responsibility and stability, and seemed to be fearless no matter how many ups and downs he had.

Although Shi Zhiyi didn't know that the lord of Yining County had asked for a marriage sign of "death and life in Yuqingguan, and Zicheng said", a heart had already been tied to him, and for the kind of emotion between the two, it was only regarded as a friendship between friends, but when he heard the news of Yi Ningjun's main marriage, an indescribable emotion still surged in his heart instantly.
