readx; Half a month later, Li Zhe returned to the cave mansion in the lower courtyard of Yunmeng. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 As soon as he returned to the cave mansion, Li Zhe began to cultivate with all his strength and catch up with the footsteps of his junior disciples.

After taking the Lower Grade Cultivation Spiritual Pill, there is a relatively long process for the release of spiritual energy, and it takes a long time to fully absorb and refine these spiritual qi. It would take six hours for Li Zhe to completely absorb the medicinal power of a lower-grade elixir, and it would take nearly an hour to consolidate his cultivation, so as to avoid the aura being absorbed too quickly and affecting the foundation.

The rest of the time was used for alchemy, and it took four hours to refine a furnace of spirit elixir, so that almost a day had passed. The cycle continued, until forty days later, Li Zhe refined all the medicinal materials he bought into pills. In the end, Li Zhe got 200 pills of the Nourishing Pill and 200 pills of ordinary Nourishing Pill, and the result of such alchemy was not that Li Zhe's alchemy level had not improved at all, but mainly because of Li Zhe's artificial control.

Of course, the speed of selling the spirit pill to earn spirit stones is the fastest, but the risk is too great, and if something happens, the gains outweigh the losses. After thinking about it, Li Zhe still decided to waste some time selling ordinary elixirs and slowly accumulate wealth. Anyway, the ordinary spirit pill that he refined by himself is also very high-quality, and the value is not low, but the risk brought by it is much smaller. In order to tie up with Master Wu played by Li Zhe, the shopkeeper of the forty furnaces of medicinal materials only accepted one medium-grade spirit stone from Li Zhe, that is, one furnace of medicinal materials costs two and a half lower-grade spirit stones, and refining into a high-quality spirit pill can sell a hundred lower-grade spirit stones, which is already a huge profit in a huge profit. Li Zhe felt that the profit was already very high, but he just wasted a little more time. With enough low-grade cultivation elixir to take, Li Zhe no longer has to worry about his cultivation speed, anyway, there is time to refine the pill, so there is no need to take any more risks in this case.

After refining the medicinal materials in his hand, Li Zhe finally freed his hands to devote himself to cultivation. Li Zhe changed one pill a day to two, and went all out to cultivate the Yin and Yang Zhou Tian Spiritual Skill, and the progress was much faster. It's a pity that in less than half a month, the side effects appeared. Li Zhe obviously felt that his control over mana had greatly decreased, which was completely contrary to the essence of Yin Yang Zhou Tianxuan's spiritual skill. Li Zhe couldn't, so he had to stop taking the pill, and it took seven days to re-consolidate his foundation. It seems that one pill a day is the best balance, and if you increase it, it will outweigh the losses.

Life has returned to its old state, half of the time is spent cultivating the foundation building technique to absorb the aura of the lower grade cultivation elixir, and the other half is used to cultivating spells and magic tricks. With the help of a large number of low-grade cultivation elixirs, Li Zhe's cultivation speed was like riding a rocket, and he quickly narrowed the distance between him and his junior disciples.

For this change in Li Zhe, Shen Zhoutian and Wang Ziyan quickly discovered it. However, the two found that the mana aura emanating from Li Zhe's body was still so stable and pure, obviously no matter what secret technique Li Zhe used to increase his cultivation speed, it did not affect the solidity of the foundation. The two tacitly did not inquire about Li Zhe's situation, and Wang Ziyan no longer stopped Li Zhe's behavior of leaving the mountain every seven or eight months.

In this way, as the days passed, Li Zhe's cultivation and waist bag swelled up simultaneously. In the ninth year of entry, Zhong Ling'er entered the late stage of spiritual introduction for the second time, and the sect also gave a high-grade magic weapon, which made the other brothers and sisters also ignite the hope of getting a high-grade magic weapon. The Yunmeng Sect is so generous, mainly based on two considerations, on the one hand, the number of new disciples is too small, and there are many in the magic weapon storehouse, and it is completely possible to cope with improving the quality of the magic weapons issued, on the other hand, in the past few years, the Yunmeng Sect and the three factions have secretly broken out a lot of small conflicts, and there is a tendency to become more and more intense. The purpose of distributing better magic weapons to new disciples is also to make them suffer less in possible conflicts.

I don't know if it's because these disciples are all very potential cultivators, or because of the current great enemy, which makes everyone hate the same enemy and cultivate harder, anyway, the cultivation speed of this group of disciples is very outstanding. By the tenth year, everyone had reached the bottleneck of the middle stage of spirit induction, and everyone was trying to impact the late stage of spirit induction. Of course, in addition to Li Zhe, due to too much debt in the early stage, Li Zhe was almost able to catch up with everyone. If nothing else, there will be no problem catching up with and overtaking the big forces this year. The small bottleneck of the spiritual introduction period that can trap others has proved that it has no effect on Li Zhe, and when the cultivation is reached, Li Zhe can directly enter the late stage of spiritual induction.

One day on the first day of the tenth year, Li Zhe counted the quantity of the lower grade spirit pill, the inventory was running out, and it was time to go to the Fang Market to buy it. So, Li Zhe and Wang Ziyan said hello and left the mountain to go to Yunmeng Zongfang City.

In the past two years, Li Zhe will take a slight detour on the way to Yunmeng Zongfang City, deliberately stop in Zhongjing City, enjoy the food, and take a look at Liu Siren's situation by the way. Liu Ruyan has only one relative left in the world, and if he can't take care of himself, he will be embarrassed to meet in the future. Li Zhe came to the restaurant he frequented as usual, ordered good food and drinks, and listened to the drinkers talk about some current affairs while eating.

Coincidentally, the three generals Zhao Hu, Zhang Ying, and Zeng Niu also drank in the restaurant and talked about a recent major event in Zhou Guo.

The third brother, Zeng Niu, asked the two elder brothers in puzzlement: "Second elder brother, Lord Liu is a great loyal minister, why did Your Majesty want to kill his head." Li Zhe was shocked when he heard this, Lord Liu would not be Liu Siren, the possibility is not small, the number of officials is also limited, and the surname Liu is not a big surname.

The boss Zhao Hu put down the wine glass in his hand, sighed and said: "Lord Liu is naturally a loyal minister, and he is also loyal to His Majesty. His Majesty also trusted Lord Liu, and after ascending the throne, he promoted Lord Liu directly from the Ministry of Officials to the Right Prime Minister, and led the government. Only then did Li Zhe understand that this must be Liu Siren, who was more interested in the incident.

It all started two years ago, the day after Li Zhe left Zhongjing City.

In the early morning of the next day, the then Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty suddenly announced that Zhao Yide, the emperor's eldest grandson, was the emperor's grandson, and made it clear that he would pass on the throne to his grandson after a hundred years. His two sons, Zhao Renyi, the king of Jin, and Zhao Renxin, the king of Han, were dizzy at that time, and the two fought for so many years, and finally realized that they had completely let their old son play. As such a big wrongdoer, the anger in their hearts can be imagined, so the two sworn enemies met privately for the first time, and soon reached a consensus to rebel together and divide the world equally.

If the Emperor of the Great Zhou was ruthless and took them down on the spot in the main hall, it would be much easier to lock them up. It's a pity that they are father and son after all, and the emperor is a little sorry for his two sons because of this, and he is very weak in his heart, so he can't be tougher.

The two princes contacted their forces in Zhongjing and wanted to force the palace directly. It's a pity that people are not as good as heaven, and the three Zhao Hu, who have been vacillating, decided to take refuge in the imperial grandson. In this way, the defense of Zhongjing City is completely under the control of Zhao Yide. The two princes are not stupid, let alone force the palace if they stay any longer, they may go to prison at any time.

The next morning, the two princes proposed to take up the vassal at the same time. Clear-eyed people can understand at a glance that these two people have refused to go to their fiefdom in Zhongjing for so many years, but now they are leaving at the same time, and the fool also knows what kind of heart he has. The emperor was delighted and approved it on the spot. The palms and backs of the hands are full of meat, and it's okay if the two of them leave, at least they don't have to fight in front of their eyes, and when I die, it's none of my business to fight whatever you want.

So, with a sky-high anger, the two of them each returned to the fiefdom to reorganize their armaments. As soon as they were halfway away, the news of the emperor's death came, and the two of them naturally disdained the holy decree of their nephew to summon them back to Zhongjing to participate in the funeral of the emperor, and they really took us as fools, and they could come out again when they went back.

After the state funeral, the new emperor Zhao Yide ascended the throne as emperor, and he was sixteen years old this year.

As soon as he ascended the throne, Zhao Yide received a special congratulatory gift from his two uncles - a letter of rebellion, asking the new emperor to recognize their independence and divide the Zhou state into three. Although with the assistance of Liu Siren, Zhao Yide successfully subdued the Central Army, but his two uncles had seventy percent of the country's soldiers and horses, and they were at an absolute disadvantage in terms of troops. To make matters worse, Wu and Yue saw the internal turmoil in Zhou, and at the same time sent troops to attack the border, even taking several cities, hoping to take advantage of the opportunity.

The Great Zhou Empire was on the verge of collapse, and the courtiers expressed their opinions, arguing and arguing, but no one could come up with a solution to the problem. Zhao Yide, who was sitting on the dragon chair, arbitrarily promulgated the holy decree: "Raise an army to rebel." Raise the national army and set out three days later, first attacking Zhao Renyi and then Zhao Renxin. All courtiers and their families must accompany the expedition. ”

Zhao Yide's holy decree surprised all the courtiers, such a large gap in troops, not holding on to the city but taking the initiative to attack, is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg. It's a pity that no minister can come up with a more effective solution, so he has to follow Zhao Yide on the expedition.

The army was dispatched in the middle of a harsh winter, coinciding with a heavy snowfall, and the army was struggling. After walking for more than half a month, suddenly the scouts in front raised an alarm, and a large army came on. The Central Army was worthy of being the most elite army of the Zhou State, and quickly set up its position and prepared to meet it.

After a while, a huge army entered the sight of the Central Army, and the generals led by it were particularly conspicuous, and the golden helmet and golden armor rode a white horse with a divine horse, looking heroic. When they got closer, the army looked at it and was shocked, the military general led by it was actually the new emperor Zhao Yide.

It turned out that Zhao Yide paralyzed Zhao Renyi under the guise of the slow-marching Central Army. He personally led 3,000 elite horsemen, soared 3,000 miles, and broke into Zhao Renyi's camp on a snowy night. Taking advantage of the chaos of the army, Zhao Yide went straight into the tent of the commander of the Chinese army and captured Zhao Renyi with his own hands. In order to save his life, Zhao Renyi had to lead the army to surrender.

The two armies converged and fought back together against Zhao Renxin, who had already occupied Zhongjing City. Zhao Renxin occupied Zhongjing City and wanted to take revenge on those ministers who supported Zhao Yide's accession to the throne, but these people and their families went out with the army, so he had nowhere to vent. When he was about to lead a large army to flank Zhao Yide, Zhao Yide's army was already approaching Zhongjing. At this time, the situation was reversed, the strength and weakness were transposed, and Zhao Renxin's army no longer had the fighting spirit, and his generals took the opportunity to rebel and tied up Zhao Renxin and dedicated it to Zhao Yide.

A crisis that was enough to bring about the end of the Great Zhou Empire was quickly resolved by the new emperor by miraculous means. This sixteen-year-old young man won the allegiance of all the civil and military generals with his perfect performance, and the Zhou State officially entered a new era.
