Sanqing returned to the Shang clan, and the prime minister of Donghua learned the news and hurriedly came, only to see the Sanqing brothers, and he felt bad.

Under the inquiry of the Prime Minister of Donghua and the people of the Shang clan, when they learned what happened, they were sad and angry, and sighed.

But the matter has come to this point, even the ancestor has come forward, and everyone has no choice but to comfort Taishang.

Now Sanqing's prestige in the Shang clan is in full swing, and it is only the patriarch Donghua who is the prime minister.

Prime Minister Donghua came back when the three gods took Sanqing to the You clan.

Under the deliberate propaganda of the Prime Minister of Donghua, everyone in the Shang clan knew that the elite of the three super clans and the middle god level were discussed, and the Hua clan was defeated.

In the end, it was Sanqing who made a move, defeated the three Tianjiao of the Shi clan and the Qian clan, and earned back face for the Hua clan.

That's Tianjiao, doesn't this mean that Sanqing's strength is comparable to Tianjiao?

No, it should be stronger than Tianjiao, you know, the three of them are Tianjiao, who is at the peak of the middle god, and they were defeated by Sanqing, who was far inferior to Dao.

If everyone still had opinions about Feng Chun's acceptance of Yuan Shi and Lingbao because of marrying his sister, now not only did no one have an opinion, but everyone was glad that they did not show malicious intent towards Sanqing at the beginning.

Although Yuan Shi and Lingbao will have to break away from the clan and stand on their own sooner or later, after all, the two of them have been protected by the Shang clan, which is good fate.

Prime Minister Donghua took the three of them back to his cave mansion, and first comforted Taishang.

If you want to say that the most frustrating, except for Sanqing, is the prime minister of Donghua.

If Shang Ji does not die, Taishang is his son-in-law, and even if Taishang establishes his own clan in the future, it is also a sub-clan of the Shang clan, and the two will give birth to several great gods in the future, and even the ancestors, then they will die and be blind.

Now, as soon as Shang Ji died, there was only a nominal relationship between Prime Minister Donghua and Taishang, which made Prime Minister Donghua happy.

Donghua said: "Taishang, the matter of Ji'er has come to this point, you don't have to be too sad, don't miss the cultivation because of this." ”

Taishang nodded and said, "The child can save it." ”

Donghua Shang said to Taishang: "My father has long had the idea of giving up the position of the patriarch and retreating to cultivate, I wanted to give the position of the patriarch to Feng Chun, but Feng Chun was killed by the Nine Demons, and now I want to give you the position of the patriarch, are you willing?"

Taishang was silent, thought for a while, and said, "Father, do you know about the Pangu Secret Realm?"

Donghua was stunned for a moment and said, "I know, how do you know?"

"Oh. Donghua said: "You have been in the Hua clan for ten thousand years, and with the importance that the three of them attach to you, the father will naturally tell you." ”

Sanqing didn't explain, the three of them were favored by Hongjun Ancestor, and it was better not to say this kind of jealousy, lest others think that they were showing off.

Donghua said: "It is precisely because the secret realm will be opened, so my father must retreat and practice, strive to further cultivate, and strive for more vitality for my clan." ”

Taishang said: "The secret realm will be opened, and then it will be a bloody battle, and there will be no one in a hundred survivors, so the child doesn't want to be dragged down by his children's personal feelings, and wants to do penance." ”

Donghua said: "Also, if you take over as the patriarch, you will inevitably marry your own son, you are now a middle-ranking god, if it is an opportunity, before the outbreak of the battle of the secret realm, it is very likely to be promoted to a high-ranking god, in case the cultivation is delayed because of the reproduction of heirs, it is not beautiful." ”

Taishang leaned over and said, "Thank you for your father's fulfillment." ”

Donghua said: "Actually, the closer to the war, the more a clan needs to reproduce heirs, the more heirs, the greater the chance of the clan continuing, since you don't want to take over as the patriarch, then cultivate with peace of mind, the same is true for Yuan Shi and Lingbao, strive to be promoted to the upper god before the outbreak of the war." ”

"Yes. Sanqing bowed down.

Since Taishang was unwilling to take over as the patriarch, Prime Minister Donghua had to continue to assume the responsibilities of the patriarch.

However, some of the routine chores in the clan, Prime Minister Donghua were handed over to the Taishang brothers.

In this regard, no one in the Shang clan has an opinion, in the flood and famine, the strong are respected, among the Shang clan, those who can beat the three Qings, except for the Father, there is no one else, so it is not the Sanqing to deal with the general affairs, and others do not approve of it.

The prime minister of Donghua sent several descendants of the median god cultivators in the clan to other clans to prepare for marriage.

The wives of the Prime Minister of Donghua all fell into the five decays of heaven and man, and as the patriarch, it is the obligation to reproduce heirs, so the Prime Minister of Donghua needs to remarry.

Moreover, the war of the secret realm is about to break out, and the marriage between clans is actually a disguised alliance.

And Prime Minister Donghua still has a thought, he wants to give birth to a few more daughters before the outbreak of the war, three are the least, and there is no limit to more.

The idea of the Prime Minister of Donghua is to give birth to a few more daughters and promise to Sanqing as his wife, Taishang can continue the Shang clan for himself, and Yuan Shi and Lingbao are also potential stocks and become powerful relatives and allies of the Shang clan.

Knowing the meaning of Donghua Shangxiang's remarriage, Taishang felt very embarrassed, marrying a wife and having children is the obligation of the patriarch, but it will also delay the cultivation.

Prime Minister Donghua was going to hand over the position of patriarch to himself, so that he could retreat and do penance, but he refused.

As a result, Prime Minister Donghua has a higher chance of continuing the Shang clan, and now he has to continue to marry a wife, and his practice will definitely be delayed.

This made Taishang feel ashamed.

After Prime Minister Donghua knew Taishang's thoughts, he comforted Taishang, with Prime Minister Donghua's current cultivation, within a few calamities, it is difficult to make a qualitative breakthrough in Taoism and strength, and the retreat is just to think about what happens.

Although Prime Minister Donghua said so, Taishang still felt uncomfortable.

Similarly, Yuan Shi and Lingbao, who have deep brotherly affection, also inherited the love of Donghua Prime Minister in their hearts.

Sanqing thought to himself: Cause and effect are difficult, only by helping the Shang clan to develop and grow, can we repay the grace of the protection of the Prime Minister of Donghua.

Fortunately, Yuan Shi already had a preliminary plan.

The medicine garden opened up by Yuan Shi in his own cave has planted 242 spiritual plants, corresponding to the 242 laws of the six avenues of the flood wilderness.

And the medicine gardens of Taishang and Lingbao also have forty or fifty spiritual plants each, all of which are spiritual plants of the righteous path law.

These spiritual plants are enough to help the cultivation of the members of the Shang Clan to go further.

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

Because Sanqing's medicine garden is in the depths of his own cave, there are not many people in the Shang clan who know that Sanqing has planted so many spiritual plants, at most, they just feel that Sanqing Cave Mansion has a much richer aura than other caves.

The reason why it was not made public was because Yuan Shi was still studying these spirit plants.

Over the years, Yuan Shi has gained a deep understanding of these spiritual plants.

Especially in the past 10,000 years of going to the Hua clan, Yuan Shi's understanding of Lingzhi has reached a very profound level.

Before, whenever the spiritual plants were ripe, Yuan Shi would pick the fruits, and the spiritual plants of the righteous path would be eaten and cultivated by the three Qings, while the spiritual plants of the other avenues would be collected with jade boxes.

What should be explained here is that the fruit of the spirit plant refers to the place where the spiritual power of the spirit plant is the most, it may be a fruit, or it may be a flower, a leaf, a root, etc., such as the fruit of the Yuyan Lotus, which refers to the blooming Yuyan Lotus.

Yuan Shi went to the Hua clan once, and it took tens of thousands of years to go, which led to many spiritual plants not picking the fruits after they matured.

When Sanqing came back, he found a big problem.

In the wilderness, whether it is a spiritual plant or an ore, it is the condensation of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, which takes a time, and Yuan Shi called this period of maturity.

The Great Dao Strange Beast-level artifact requires at least one calamity, and the long one requires nine calamities to mature and complete.

Treasures such as heavenly and earthly treasures have a maturity period between one and nine meetings.

As for spiritual plants and spiritual objects such as spiritual mines, Sanqing found through observation that the maturity period is between one and nine transports.

Note: One yuan (one measure of tribulation) is 129,600 years, one will be 10,800 years, and one fortune is 360 years.

Because Sanqing's medicine garden has not picked fruits for tens of thousands of years, many spiritual plants have experienced many ripening periods.

When Sanqing returned, the three of them found that many spirit plants had changed.

It becomes more radiant and more spiritual.

It took nearly 10,000 years for Yuan Shi to discover the clues.

If the spiritual plant is ripe and does not pick the fruit, the fruit will wither after a period of time.

When the fruit withers, the whole spirit plant will undergo certain changes.

According to Yuan Shi's speculation, the spiritual power of the spirit plant is concentrated on the fruit, and if the fruit is picked, the spirit plant will reabsorb the spiritual power to form a new fruit.

However, if you don't pick the fruit, the spiritual power of the fruit will be emitted throughout the spiritual plant.

So the spirit plant will change.

Yuan Shi believes that this change should be a good thing.

At the same time, when this spiritual plant condenses and bears fruit again, these fruits contain more spiritual power and are of better quality than ordinary fruits.

In other words, every time the spirit plant matures, if the fruit is not removed, the quality of the spirit plant will be improved, and the quality of the fruit will also increase.

However, different spirit plants can improve their quality not the same number of times.

As little as once, as much as nine times.

Combined with the maturity time of the spirit plant, Yuan Shi divided the spirit plant into upper, middle and lower grades, nine levels and nine turns.

The spirit plants that are mature from the first to the third are the first, second and third grades of the lower grade, the spirit plants that are mature from the fourth to the sixth are the fourth, fifth and sixth grades of the middle grade, and the mature spirit plants that are mature from the seventh to the ninth are the seventh, eighth, and ninth grades.

Those that can only improve their quality once are one-turn spirit plants, and those that can be upgraded nine times are nine-turn spirit plants.

For example, the Jade Yanlian transplanted for the first time at the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty belongs to the lowest-grade spirit plant, and it can mature in three hundred and sixty years, but the Jade Yanlian can improve its quality nine times, so it belongs to the first-grade nine-turn spirit plant.

The spiritual power contained in the nine-turn mature Jade Yan Lotus is already comparable to the spiritual power of the middle-grade fourth-level zero-turn spiritual plant.

It would take about three thousand years to wait for the Jade Flame Lotus to improve its quality nine times, but after a long wait, the Jade Flame Lotus could be harvested once every three hundred and sixty years, and the harvested fruit had spiritual power comparable to that of a mid-grade fourth-grade zero-turn spirit plant that could only mature in 1440.

It was a pleasant surprise.

Generally speaking, the longer the maturity period, the more spiritual power the spirit plant contains, but the Jade Flame Lotus, whose quality has been improved nine times, has broken this convention.

In addition, Yuan Shi also found that there is an extra kind of baby in the lotus flower of Yu Yanlian, Yuan Shi called it a lotus seed, and after a turn, after a turn, the lotus flower will give birth to a lotus seed.

The spiritual power contained in this lotus seed is of extremely high quality, and it can even push gods and demons to understand the law, which is comparable to the spiritual power of heaven and earth treasures, but the amount of this spiritual power is so rare that it is not of great use.

If you collect 10,000 or 20,000 lotus seeds, it can also be equivalent to a lowest-quality heaven and earth treasure.

However, compared with collecting hundreds of lotus seeds to use as a natural treasure, lotus seeds have a more important function.

This was discovered by the Yuan Shi by accident.

A jade flame lotus in the Taishang Medicine Garden has matured, because Shang Ji is promoted to the lower god to gain merit by eating the jade flame lotus.

Taishang saw the injuries of things, so it was Yuan Shi and Lingbao who helped pick the Jade Flame Lotus.

Once, when Lingbao was accidentally picking lotus seeds, a lotus seed fell into the water.

Because the lotus seed is too small, it is only the size of a human fingernail in later generations, but Lingbao is a god and demon with a height of thirty zhang. Coupled with Lingbao's big temperament, he let a lotus seed fall.

This one fell out of a great merit.
