What Yi Hao needed most now was Yuan Shi, even if there was more gold and silver, it would be of no benefit to his cultivation. He then summoned Yi Yan, and handed over everything else to Yi Yan except for the martial arts secret book and the ancient sword.

and instructed Yifu to find the Zhao family to exchange gold, brocade clothes, etc. for silver as funds for the reconstruction of Yijia Village. Yi Yi has always been responsible for handling all the affairs of the Yi family and Zhao Jiabao, and it is most appropriate to hand it over to him.

This money may be able to alleviate some of the urgency for the reconstruction of Yijia Village, Yi Hao thought secretly. Yijia Village has taken several generations to reach the size of the previous one, and now the cost of rebuilding it is huge. The Zhao family's assistance is only a drop in the bucket, and the reconstruction costs still need to be raised by Yi Hao.

Not long after, Zhao Wenchang, the head of the Zhao family, came to the small courtyard. He respectfully reported to Yi Hao about the loss of Zhaojiabao a few days ago. Zhao Wenchang said a lot of things in a bits and pieces, but he didn't explain clearly what Yi Hao wanted to know. Yi Hao had to interrupt halfway, mainly asking about the casualties.

The old man of the Zhao family was seriously injured and passed away the next day, and the Zhao family buried the ancestor with heavy etiquette. Before he died, the old man pulled Zhao Wenchang to death, telling him to keep Yi Hao no matter what conditions Yi Hao proposed, and even asked Zhao Wenchang to marry his fifteen-year-old daughter Zhao Jiaojiao to Yi Hao. Zhao Wenchang did not say these words to Yihao.

The people of Yijia Village, Yi Yi was the commander of the city wall at the first pass of Zhaojiabao against the Zhou family, and was targeted by the Red Devil and others, and unfortunately died in battle. There is also Yi Er, who led people to ambush the Zhou family on the way to Zhaojiabao, was found by the Zhou family and cut off his limbs, and died of excessive bleeding.

The casualties in Zhaojiabao's nursing home were also very large. More than a dozen people were killed in the battle, and countless others were wounded. If Hu Gao hadn't led his friends in the army to come to support in advance after hearing the news, Zhaojiabao would have suffered even greater losses.

The next day, Yi Hao led the remaining seven people from Yijia Village to escort the gold and silver treasures and the coffins of Yi Yi and Yi Yi to return to Yijia Village.

In Yijia Village, he announced the reconstruction plan to the villagers, and the villagers immediately boiled. He then left Yisan, who was not suitable for martial arts, to be the village chief and organize the reconstruction of Yijia Village.

Yi Hao's eyes were full of tears, and he looked at Yi Yuanshan and Yi Yi and the tombs of Yi Yi and others on the top of the mountain alone. He stood for a long time, and finally resolutely turned around and returned to Zhaojiabao.

The battle between the Zhou family and Zhaojiabao has become a topic of discussion among households and passers-by in Mishui County. It is rumored that there are innate martial artists in Zhaojiabao, and its masters can use innate true fire at will. There are even rumors that a big family in the county town is in alliance with Zhaojiabao. Zhaojiabao was in Mishui County, and his reputation suddenly rose.

During this time, the Zhou family behaved unusually low-key. There is a grapevine that Zhou Tai, the grandson of the second ancestor of the Zhou family, has been included in the inner gate of the Xiuzhen Sect, and is deeply favored by his teacher. As soon as this news came out, it immediately caused an uproar in Mishui County.

There are immortals in the Zhou family, how can this be matched by mortal forces! As a result, some people sneered at the newly rising Zhaojiabao.

None of this news affected the rise of Zhaojiabao. After the Battle of Zhaojiabao, many families took the initiative to find Zhaojiabao, one is to visit the master of the innate martial artist, and the other is to negotiate business to enhance feelings. The people who wanted to see Yi Hao were all persuaded by Zhao Wenchang to return on the grounds that their predecessors needed to cultivate quietly. As for those who want to negotiate business, Zhao Wenchang is happy and does not refuse to come.

Zhao Wenchang is very talented in business. In less than half a year, Zhaojiabao's business has expanded to twice as much as before. Zhao Wenchang's face was red all day, and he was smiling.

But in the face of Yi Hao, Zhao Wenchang became more and more respectful. Every once in a while, Zhao Wenchang would bring his daughter Zhao Jiaojiao to visit Yihao. even wanted to leave Zhao Jiaojiao to serve Yi Hao's daily life, but Yi Hao politely refused. This also provoked a lot of eyes from fifteen-year-old Zhao Jiaojiao.

Yi Hao is very clear about Zhao Wenchang's thoughts. One day, he took the initiative to mention the seven people in Yijia Village to Zhao Wenchang and asked Zhao Wenchang what he thought of them. Zhao Wenchang instantly understood Yi Hao's thoughts, and finally bluntly said that Yi Hao was good.

He is willing to endure hardships and is very considerate of others. Among the seven people in the Yi family, his cultivation is the strongest except for Yi Qi, and now he has reached the realm of the late stage of skin training. Presumably, with Yi Hao's guidance in the future, it will not be far to break through the bone cultivation realm.

And Yiqi, although he is very honest in front of Yihao, is very arrogant in front of others, and is a little cynical, but it is expected that he was not photographed by Zhao Wenchang.

Subsequently, Zhaojiabao held a grand wedding banquet. Zhao Jiaojiao, the sister of the head of the Zhao family, held a grand wedding with Yi Huan. On the day of the wedding banquet, well-known families in Misui County came to congratulate them. The county guard sent Hu Gao to Zhaojiabao to congratulate. What's even more interesting is that the Zhou family actually sent a good congratulatory gift.

Yi Hao briefly attended the banquet, which caused the amazement and co-optation of countless families. Yi Hao modestly smiled at the compliment, and he politely refused all the solicitations.

Hu Gao sent another invitation to Yi Hao on behalf of the county guard, and Yi Hao only said that he would go later, but he didn't say anything else. Yi Hao then disappeared during the banquet. Although the guests who attended the wedding banquet, especially the warriors who came at Yi Hao, were dissatisfied, they were afraid of Yi Hao's strong strength and did not dare to speak out and provoke.

In the following six months, Yi Hao lived in a simple house and almost never left the courtyard. He cultivated hard in the small courtyard where he lived, and occasionally gave guidance to the Zhao family's guards, but the guidance was also carried out in the small courtyard.

On this day, Yi Hao sat in the room. Suddenly, the Yuan Force in the body was boiling, and the orange-red Yuan Force in the dantian in the body was spinning rapidly, and it seemed to be extremely thirsty for the external Yuan Power.

"The bottleneck in the middle stage of refining is finally about to be broken!" Yi Hao was overjoyed. With the experience of the last breakthrough, Yihao is very sure. These days, he has been impacting the bottleneck of the middle stage of refining according to the method described in the Zhengyang Jue.

Yi Hao straightened his mind and sat down cross-legged with the Yuanshi in his hand. He activated the Zhengyang Jue and frantically absorbed the vitality in the Yuan Stone, struggling to break through the bottleneck of the middle stage of Yuan refining. With the help of the abundant Yuan Qi in the Yuan Stone, Yi Hao felt that the orange-red Yuan Force Group at the dantian was rotating faster and faster, and the bottleneck in the middle stage of refining was about to be broken.

The feeling of breaking through the middle stage of refining was getting stronger and stronger, but this feeling lasted for a long time, but the bottleneck was never broken.

"Click", the Yuan Stone Yuan Qi in his hand was sucked out and turned into nothing. Yi Hao gritted his teeth and took out the second Yuan Stone to continue to absorb it.

"Po", suddenly there was a soft sound in his body that only he could hear.

"Breakthrough to the middle stage of refining yuan!" Yi Hao was ecstatic. The orange-red Yuan Force mass at the dantian stopped rotating, and a circle of Yuan Qi that was larger than before appeared in Yi Hao's dantian, and the color seemed to be deeper than before. Yi Hao found that the meridians in his body seemed to be wider and more flexible.

Yi Hao operates the Yuan Force, and the Yuan Force runs faster in the body. Then, a small flame far superior to the flame that killed the second ancestor of the Zhou family appeared in the palm of his right hand. As soon as the flames came out, the air in the room quickly became dry, and the clothes became visibly charred.
