Xi Kang was taken away from his position a few days ago. On the outside, Xi Kang was calm, but inside he was extremely angry.
He never wanted to experience something like this again, but he also knew that the Xi family did have a good relationship with Zhong Chao, but in the previous month, Zhong Chao, who kept selling his catch, had repaid most of the kindness to the Xi family.
The rest is not enough for Zhong Chao to fully support him.
In order to try his best to climb up, Xi Kang had other thoughts.
Having said this, Xi Xuna still didn't understand what his son had in mind - marriage.
However, he also knew that Xi Ya and Zhong Chao were no longer well-matched and could not become official wives after they were married.
The concubine's life was miserable. After all, she was his daughter. So Xi Ya was still a little hesitant to let Xi Ya be his concubine.
But he hesitated, but Xi Kang's mother did not.
Xi Ya was not her daughter, she was just a concubine who gave birth to a concubine. She sacrificed other people's daughters to pave the way for her own son. This did not put any pressure on Xi's mother.
"Master, don't you think highly of Chao'er? Xiaoya marrying him is not considered an insult... You have to put your family first..."
Under Xi's mother's continuous persuasion, the hesitation on Xi Xun's face became more and more serious, and finally, he sighed.
"I agree, but this matter cannot be rushed...Miss Cang family is still around. If we do this, we may anger Cang family."
Xi Kang: "...I know, and I won't act rashly. I'm going to test out Cang Youqing's story. If she agrees, I'll take Xiaoya over."
…
I don’t know what Xi Kang said, nor what Cang Youqing thought. Seven days later, a little tail appeared behind Cang Youqing—Xi Ya followed her and started studying.
Looking at Xi Ya's cheerful and energetic look, it was obvious that she had no idea that she had been sold out by her parents and brother.
However, the affairs in Jujiang City have nothing to do with Zhong Chao. At this moment, he is still entrenched in the volcano, forming a Bagua furnace formation and using the Bagua furnace to smelt his golden body.
Sometimes, he would stop the Bagua furnace, drink the repaying jade liquid and life elixir, visualize the sun, and temper his soul and body.
In the continuous practice, Zhong Chao's strength has also grown steadily.
In the first seven days, the golden lotus in the fire inside Zhong Chao's body reached the peak of the second level, nourished by the huge amount of fire energy in the volcano and Bagua furnace.
In the second seven days, the Golden Lotus in the Fire broke through to the third level. Such rapid growth is not surprising. There is a realm of swallowing up to follow. His growth of the Golden Lotus in the Fire is unobstructed - at least in the third level. Therefore, he only needs to use the energy
Just fill it up.
On the third seven days, Golden Lotus in Fire broke through to the third level. At the same time, three weeks of rest and visualization also allowed him to digest most of the devoured souls, allowing him to reach the realm of Heavenly Swordsmanship at 9999/9999
.
However, when he got here, the experience of the ethereal fairy shadow was also digested by Zhong Chao. After that, he once again practiced the sword-controlling technique of heaven. He would have no one to guide him and could only explore alone.
However, from 3336 to 9999, the sword light differentiation of Tianzhi Swordsmanship has been improved again. In the pain of tearing his soul, he can think sixteen points at a time.
On the fourth seven days, Golden Lotus in Fire broke through to the third level, and the realm of Heavenly Swordsmanship was still 2nd level 9999/9999.
But by continuously drinking the Huanqing Jade Liquid and using it to comprehend the sun, Zhong Chao finally achieved a breakthrough through his stellar meditation method.
From the first level of entry, to the second level of proficiency.
With this promotion, Zhong Chao's spiritual power has increased slightly, which has also made his sea of consciousness wider and his connection with the sun deeper.
At the same time, his deepening understanding of the sun also gave him a new characteristic - gravity!
"It's not a characteristic of the flame system, but gravity, one of the four basic forces... However, if you think about it carefully, it makes sense."
"The larger the object, the stronger the gravity. In the solar system, all planets orbit the sun. The explanation in classical physics is that the planets orbit the sun because they are affected by the gravitational pull of the sun."
"When I meditated on the sun, I also added gravity into it. Now that the stellar meditation method has been upgraded, it is not surprising that I can gain the ability to attract gravity."
The gravitational properties are still very useful, but Zhong Chao is a little dizzy due to the skyrocketing experience in the stellar meditation method that has reached the second level.
[Star Meditation Method: Mastery of Level 2 (1/9999), Effect: Contact Star 2, Gravity 1]
"Headache, another 9999 peak skill."
In fact, 9999 experience points alone are nothing. What makes Zhong Chao tremble is that the upper limit of its proficiency is so high at the 2nd level. How much is it for the 3rd level? As for the 4th level, this is simply unimaginable.
"Forget it, let's take it one step at a time."
On the fifth seventh day, Zhong Chao was still practicing and made some gains.
On the sixth and seventh day, Zhong Chao was still practicing.
On the seventh day, he still has not returned to Jujiang City.
…
Sitting on the seat of the Hundred Households at the Mingce Army station, looking at the empty Hundred Households and the general flag position, there was no trace of joy on Cang Youqing's face, but the same confusion as Qin Yaoyao a few months ago.
"What are you doing? You disappeared for seventy-seven forty-nine days just after taking office. How can this make me..."
"Oh! It's so annoying."
Not being able to see anyone for forty-nine days in a row made Cang Youqing have countless plans in her heart, but she had no room to implement them.
This kind of frustration was the first time Cang Youqing, an eccentric person, encountered.
In the past, she was the only one who was teased and no one bullied her.
However, the failure of the plan did not make her give up, but instead aroused her competitive spirit.
"Hmph, I don't believe you can never see me. Just wait, we still have a long time... Xiaoya, come here, it's time to learn to dance."
"Oh, let's learn dancing again! Sister Qingqing, can we not learn this? I want to learn martial arts and kendo."
"This dance is a superb body skill. You will definitely learn it right."
"I know, during this period, I feel that my body's flexibility has improved a lot...but, this dance is too embarrassing."
"It's okay, it's just the two of us here. What are you afraid of? Come here."
"All right."
Unable to find Zhong Chao, the bored Cang Youqing trained Xi Ya.
On the other side, Lone Jian Cang Yuluo, Chongshan Jian Zongrong, and Zhong Chao's subordinates, including Langzi Jian, Liufeng Jian, Qin Mengmeng and others, also learned that Zhong Chao had disappeared for 49 days.
After learning the news, they did not take it lightly, but felt a sense of urgency in their hearts.
"From a humble servant to a proud man, that guy was not fooled by the praise. Instead, he found a place where no one was and practiced hard for 49 days... There is a reason why he succeeded."
"However, no matter how hard you try, after three months, the position of 100 households will still be mine."
Through hard training and training, Zhong Chao and his general banners are all working hard for the position of 100 households.
The lively atmosphere in the city gradually fell silent 49 days after Zhong Chao disappeared.
Normally, the next time this matter becomes a hot topic in the city will be 40 days later, when the March period arrives.
But, the surprise came.
On this day, at noon, ordinary people were living a busy and difficult life, warriors were practicing martial arts hard, and rich men and women were having fun.
On such an ordinary day, a frightening vision occurred.
There are dark shadows like tengu, bit by bit wiping out the sun's rays.
As the sun dissipated, both the sky and the earth fell into darkness.
