Volume Two, Chapter 140, Three Entry...
The banquet in the palace was naturally extremely luxurious, with delicacies from the mountains and sea, wine and food, all of which were of the highest quality in the world.
Xiaobai can be regarded as a wise and virtuous king, but he is still a mortal after all, and his appetite for food and drink is still very strong.
The only place where he spent a little money was on food. In recent years, the country was peaceful and the people were peaceful, singing and dancing were flourishing, and the finances were getting richer, so Xiaobai's banquets also had a variety of delicious food.
This time it was easy to entertain, and Xiaobai didn't like to take out the centuries-old wine that had been stored for a long time.
But Yicheng had long since abstained from grain, and even if he occasionally ate or drank, it was always the meat of monsters and spiritual wine that were full of spiritual power.
So after a banquet, Yicheng only tasted it briefly, didn't eat a few mouthfuls, and drank only four glasses of wine.
Among them, three cups were made to thank Zhao Deyuan for his God-given upbringing and teaching.
Xiaobai could only easily have a prejudice against him, and now he came because it was a gift from God, so he didn't dare to force it.
After the banquet, Xiaobai asked Zhao Deyuan and the others to stay away temporarily, saying that they had important matters to discuss with Yicheng.
After the three people left, Xiaobai looked at Yi Cheng and asked, "Are you here this time to recruit disciples?"
Yicheng knew that the matter he asked Tianfeng Commercial Bank to handle would not escape Xiaobai's ears, and Yan Nanfei and others would definitely mention it, so he did not hide it from him.
Seeing Yicheng nod, Xiaobai asked again: "Will there be people coming every ten years in the future?"
Yi Cheng nodded again.
"I know that you have a close relationship with Tianfeng Trading Company, but if it is really started at this time, the power of the imperial court will be of great convenience, so I also want to participate in it!" Xiaobai said.
"Oh, what's your purpose?" Yi Cheng didn't say anything, he just asked Xiaobai the reason.
Xiaobai saw how powerful the monks were, so naturally he wanted to use these for the imperial court.
If we can get involved in this matter and win over those children with spiritual roots, then even if they will not serve the imperial court in the future, they will still be able to gain great benefits from it.
Seeing Xiaobai deep in thought, Yicheng didn't bother him. After a while, Xiaobai confessed his thoughts to Yicheng.
Hearing this, Yicheng shook his head and said: "I advise you to give up this idea as soon as possible. If you want to keep in touch with cultivators to stabilize your empire, then you will only accelerate your demise?"
Xiaobai was shocked when he heard this: "Why is this?"
"Do you know what cultivators want?"
"Immortal!" Xiaobai said with envy, he didn't know anything about monks.
"Then do you know how to live forever, and how many people can live forever?" Yi Cheng asked next.
Xiaobai shook his head, he didn't know this.
"Spiritual stones, spiritual herbs, and all kinds of heavenly materials and earthly treasures are the basis for monks' cultivation. Today, there are millions of monks in the world of cultivation, but only a few dozen of them can conceive babies, and there are still hundreds of thousands of people left to achieve immortality.
inside."
Yicheng looked at Xiaobai, "Do you have the monk's spiritual stone? Where's the spiritual grass? Heavenly materials and earthly treasures? Even if you have these things, you won't be able to catch the eye of a high-level monk, but you will probably be able to see these things."
That is to say, some disciples in the Qi Refining Stage, these people are equivalent to the realm of Wu Zong to King Wu, are they useful?"
Xiaobai seemed a little disappointed when he heard this.
"The battles between monks are more cruel than the wars you have seen. There is no reason. It is only about strength." Yicheng continued: "Maybe one day the monk you support is killed, and you will be implicated. Although the monk
Mortals are not allowed to be massacred, but as long as there are not tens of thousands, no one will care!"
"In the eyes of monks, mortals are just ants, and your position as emperor is just a more powerful ant! Will you stop because you trample an ant to death? Will you make a deal with an ant?" Yicheng
asked.
When Xiaobai heard this, he immediately lost confidence and broke into a cold sweat.
Yicheng stood up and said: "Tianfeng Trading Company is just doing business, and this matter is also a business for them, but you are different. You are the master of the world, and your decision is related to the life and death of millions of people. I will say everything
Please think twice about this, maybe it won't be me next time. In the eyes of other monks, worldly rights are just a cloud!"
After Yi Cheng finished speaking, he ignored Xiao Bai who was still in a daze and walked out.
The three people waiting outside did not ask about the content of the conversation between Yicheng and Xiaobai. Since the emperor asked them to withdraw, they naturally did not want them to know. Wouldn't it be uncomfortable for them to ask Yicheng at this time?
After leaving the palace, Zhou Kang separated from them. Yi Cheng did not fly with his sword, but took a carriage with Tianci and the others back to the Zhao Mansion.
On the way, Tianci also told the story of his injury.
It turned out that after Yan Nanfei and others left that day, they were thinking about how to recruit disciples, and finally thought of starting with the government. However, they went to several cities. Although the officials were very willing to curry favor with these immortals, they had little effect and the progress was too slow.
So I thought of coming directly to the capital and asking the emperor to do this.
Of course, Xiaobai agreed wholeheartedly and held a banquet to welcome several monks. Zhao Deyuan Tianci and others also accompanied him.
During the dinner, Tianci knew that these people were from the world of cultivation, so he inquired about Yicheng.
Naturally, Yan Nanfei deliberately made things difficult for him. He said he wanted to see the martial arts in the secular world and let Tianci compete with Zhang Hang. This was what happened next.
After Yicheng listened, he remained silent, just thinking about how to avoid these things from happening.
When I returned to the Zhao Mansion, everyone in the family had received the news and knew that God's gift was safe, so they were no longer anxious.
That night, the Zhao Mansion held a banquet for Yicheng to wash away his dust. Although it could not compare with the palace banquet, Yicheng enjoyed the meal extremely happily and also took out a few bottles of spiritual wine for everyone to taste.
These spiritual wines are full of spiritual power. Although ordinary people cannot drink too much, a small taste of them is good for the body.
The taste of spiritual wine is naturally extraordinary. Even the centuries-old fine wine collected by the emperor is far different. Everyone was reluctant to part with it. Even Yuan Fang smelled the fragrance and asked for a drink.
That night, Yicheng also met his God-sent wife and son. His sister-in-law was an extremely delicate woman, well-educated and a good wife and mother.
This little guy named Zhao Yunpeng has a lively mind, and he is a familiar person. It didn't take long for him to become familiar with Yicheng.
Yicheng was very happy and gave the children a lot of crispy elixirs, which they just regarded as sugar pills.
After a delay, Yicheng tested the spiritual roots of several children. To everyone's surprise, three of the four children except Yuan Fang actually had spiritual roots.
Yicheng was also surprised, the probability was really too high.
Although Yuan Fang was disappointed, he was no longer depressed after receiving a piece of martial arts experience left by Yicheng, and determined to be a hero like Yicheng.
Naturally, the three children with spiritual roots didn't know what was going on. They just saw the adults looking at them smiling with great joy, and they all started to smile as well.
The two sisters turned out to have ice spiritual roots, which surprised Yicheng. Mutated spirits were rare at all, so it was even more rare that these two sisters were like this.
Although Yunpeng's spiritual root is not as good as the two of them, it is still hundreds of times better than uncle Yicheng. It has dual attributes of gold and fire.
After the surprise, both families hesitated. The three children were all five or six years old. If they followed Yicheng to the world of cultivation, wouldn't they not see them once in ten or twenty years? Therefore, neither Mingxin nor Yunpeng
My grandmother and mother were very reluctant to give up.
Yicheng also thought about bringing these relatives into the world of cultivation, but gave up after thinking about it carefully.
His current strength is not enough to protect them. The most important thing is that he has offended too many people in the world of cultivation. This time he killed several people from Yan Nanfei and offended the Luoxia Mountain family.
Once the deeds are revealed, you may be able to protect yourself, but protecting others becomes a problem.
Fortunately, Yicheng would stay here for several months, so he still had time to think. The children did not leave immediately, so the women did not cry.
After staying in Zhao Mansion for three days, Zhang Shengrumeng and his wife also came to visit Yicheng.
I haven't seen him for more than ten years. Zhang Sheng is now an important minister in the court, but he is still junior and does not hold the position.
Rumeng is still bright and moving, with a bit more nobility and mature beauty than before.
