When Ming Zhiyuan was promoted this time, he stayed in the mine for three days and three nights, took more than a dozen elixirs, and constantly circulated the relief points that were opened by traveling with his breath.
Until the end, he felt that he was almost exhausted, so he gathered his breath, stopped practicing, and walked out of the mine.
As soon as he walked out of the mine entrance, he saw two Yu family disciples standing guard on both sides, looking at him eagerly. Ming Zhiyuan immediately realized that in the past few days of his practice, he and the sleeping handsome boy were the only ones in the mine, and no one else was affected.
Allowed to enter the veins.
Nodding to these two people, Ming Zhiyuan continued back to the courtyard. Just as he sat down on the stone bench, outside the courtyard, Yu Yizhi led a large group of people in.
Qinghai and Ma Tao led Tianyuan's people and followed them into the courtyard.
"Senior brother, you have been promoted to Martial Emperor. How do you feel about your current martial arts strength?"
Qinghai ran in front and ran up to Ming Zhiyuan. He grabbed his arm and kept shaking it. His eyes flashed with joy and he kept asking: "Come on, chop this stone table with your palm, and I'll take a look at you."
How is your strength now?"
Ming Zhiyuan said to him with a wry smile: "It's such a good table, what are you doing to break it? Well, in a few days, I will practice with several martial emperors in the martial arts arena. You can come and see me then."
Qinghai was so happy that he gave up and just looked at Ming Zhiyuan, the happiness and excitement on his face could not be concealed.
Yu Yizhi also walked up to him with a smile, "Congratulations to Master Zhiyuan for being promoted to Emperor Wu. This is a great joy."
This is indeed great joy for Ming Zhiyuan. Once he breaks through the acupoints of the Martial Emperor realm, he has the possibility of being promoted to Martial Lord. For warriors, Martial Emperor is a big hurdle.
With his qualifications and the effectiveness of the elixir, as long as he breaks through the shackles of the Martial God realm and steps into the Martial Emperor realm, he is almost certain to be promoted to Martial Lord.
Seeing Yu Yiyi congratulating himself with a smile on his face, Ming Zhiyuan quickly stood up, returned the gift, and said: "This is all due to the help of the old patriarch. I haven't thanked the old patriarch yet."
"Hey, Master Zhiyuan is wrong to be so polite. Now we are our own people who share weal and woe, life and death. Don't say such polite words anymore."
Ming Zhiyuan nodded in agreement, and then said a few words to several Yu clan warriors who came to congratulate him.
The courtyard was very lively. Everyone knew that after Ming Zhiyuan was promoted to Martial Emperor, Alchemy Master would inevitably be promoted to Alchemy Master. Then he would be the first Alchemy Master in this world in countless years. This is a great joy.
After everyone was noisy for a while, Ming Zhiyuan asked everyone to go back. Those who should practice cultivation and those who should refine elixirs should go to refine elixirs. However, Yu's father and son stayed behind.
Old Yutou Yu Shangzhi has been practicing diligently since his Dantian was repaired. Now he is about to break through the realm of the Martial God and step into the realm of the Martial Emperor.
Ming Zhiyuan took out three bottles of elixir and gave them to Yu Yizhi, and asked Yu Shangzhi to continue searching for heavenly materials and earthly treasures, and to purchase various rare medicinal materials from various martial arts families in Jiuyan Continent.
Finally, he looked at Yu Yi Zhidao: "Old Patriarch Yu has been promoted to the intermediate level of Martial Lord for a long time. Do you have any thoughts about breaking through to the peak level recently?"
Yu Yizhi twisted his hair and pondered for a moment, then said: "The last time I had an epiphany after the battle in the Demon City, the death of Haoran at that time made me feel so sad that I couldn't grasp that epiphany and continue to meditate and practice.
Later, during the Qingji Border War, I also had a sudden realization, but...I didn't seize the two opportunities. I think it was not enough to accumulate."
Ming Zhiyuan nodded slightly, thought for a moment, and said: "While the Qingji Continent has not yet attacked the Jiuyan Continent, I will refine a few elixirs that can break through the border and give them to the old family master to take first. You can retreat once and try it out."
Can you reach the peak of martial arts in one fell swoop?
But the realm-breaking elixir requires several rare heavenly materials and earthly treasures, two of which are only found in the Warcraft Forest of Tianyuan Continent. I have to go back to Tianyuan Continent once, and I can come back in ten days at most, or five or six days at least.
As for the medicinal materials I just mentioned, please ask Brother Shang Zhi to search for them as soon as possible. When I come back from Tianyuan Continent, I will start refining the elixir immediately. Don't delay this matter.
If Patriarch Yu can reach the peak level of Martial Lord in one fell swoop, and the other Martial Emperors in the clan can advance to the level of Martial Lord, then the Yu family will be able to join the ranks of the Three-Ji family, and by then, the Jiuyan Continent will be the Four-Ji family."
After what Ming Zhiyuan said, the hearts of the Yu family and his son jumped suddenly, and then they became excited.
Yu Yizhi's face turned red and he immediately said: "Then this time I will protect Master Zhiyuan as he goes to Tianyuan Continent to look for those two heavenly materials and earthly treasures. Shang Zhi and Lian Wu will do their best to search for other medicinal materials at home. They must be with us.
Before coming back, collect all the medicinal materials."
Yu Shangzhi and Yu Lianwu stood up and bowed to Yu Yizhi. Their faces were red with excitement.
For many generations, the Yu family has dreamed of becoming the leader of a second-rate family, or even delusional about becoming a third-rate family. This time, Ming Zhiyuan's words finally made them feel that this was not a delusion.
Ming Zhiyuan left immediately and asked someone to call Feng Wu out of the mine, and gave some instructions to Yu Qingfeng and others.
He and Yu Yizhi jumped on Feng Wu's back and flew toward the boundary of the Nine Flames Sea of Fire.
After the two people flew across the border of the Sea of Fire, they flew straight towards the Warcraft Forest without going to the Qingji border on the other side of the Tianyang Kingdom.
Ming Zhiyuan receives messages from flying monsters sent to him by Mu Fengge and Yan Shouquan almost every day, so he is not in a hurry to go to Tianyang Kingdom and just waits to find the two rare medicinal materials in the Monster Forest.
Finally, just take a look at it on your way back.
...
In the Warcraft Forest, since the Monster clan migrated here, it didn't take long for them to merge with the Monsters. The Monsters and Monsters were the same clan more than 10,000 years ago, and now they are in the same forest area. It is natural for them to re-integrate.
The Qilin King and the Green Lion King have been patrolling the Qingji border with some high-quality magical beasts.
In the Warcraft Forest, the Monster King leads some second-grade Warcraft monsters to patrol the Lingding Ocean coastline on the other side of the Warcraft Forest.
On the Lingding Ocean side, although the coastline has been shrinking inward, the Monster King has led the monsters and monsters to patrol for so long, but they have never seen any strange phenomena, nor have they seen human beings crossing the sea.
The Lingding Ocean is extremely vast, and it would not be easy for people from the Lingding Continent to cross the Lingding Ocean and reach the Tianyuan Continent.
After Ming Zhiyuan and Yu Yizhi came to the World of Warcraft Forest, they first met the Monster King on the coastline and asked about the patrol of the Lingdingyang coastline. After knowing that there was no movement on the coastline, they began to take Yu Yizhi and Feng Wu on the coastline.
Search for medicinal materials in the Warcraft Forest.
...
On the Lingding Ocean, in the vast sea, a large ship swayed along with the waves. The white-haired old fisherman, still holding a simple fishing rod, was sitting on the side of the ship fishing for fish.
Behind him, most of the ship's cabin had been demolished, and the monster that looked exactly like the handsome Qilin King was lying in the middle, sleeping soundly.
While fishing, the old man looked at the place where the sea and the sky meet in the distance, and muttered: "The water is almost gone. I have to go back to get water. It seems that no one will come over these days. The lazy cat has been eating for many days."
It’s time for the sea creatures to eat their meat.
I want to drink, hey! I haven’t had a drink in years, and I can’t even remember what it tastes like..."
While he was murmuring, the lazy cat behind suddenly jumped up and trampled the entire ship, causing it to sink sharply.
"I smell the human cooking."
"What?"
Lazy Mao walked behind the old man with solemn eyes and looked at the place where the sea and the sky meet in the distance, "There are still the smells of many people."
After hearing this, the old man slowly stood up and looked into the distance with a solemn expression.
"You can smell it, how many people are there?"
Lazy Mao said in a solemn tone, "The people in Lingding Continent are wise enough to send so many people this time."
Four eyes stared straight ahead, unblinking.
After a while, a few black spots gradually appeared where the sea and the sky met.
The old man looked at those black spots, his expression even more serious, "I'm afraid we two can't stop it this time."
"Three ships, at least fifty or sixty people. Check first. If it doesn't work, lead them back to the island. I will deal with them on the island. You go back to Tianyuan Continent to inform the Tianyuan humans and the Warcraft."
"No, we can't beat him. Let's go together. No one can stay."
"I'm a monster. I'm on the island and it's not easy to deal with them if they want to kill me. You can rush back to Tianyuan by boat to inform them. I can't row a boat."
"It won't work if I say no."
The old man objected firmly and without hesitation.
Lazy Mao stopped talking and watched for a while. The three large ships were getting closer and closer. "Come up here and destroy one first."
The old man tapped his foot lightly, and his body flew lightly onto Lazy Cat's back.
The lazy cat spread its wings, but it was not clear how it exerted force. It flapped out of thin air, and its whole body flew into the air, flying towards the three large ships in the distance.
In a moment, one man and one beast flew above the three large ships, and looked down together.
At this time, the decks of these three large ships were full of people. These people looked up at them. Several of them seemed to be the leaders and kept shouting and asking questions.
"Who are you?"
"Get down here quickly."
"The man and the beast above fell down quickly and were captured without any help. They dared to act unscrupulously on the Lingding Ocean. Is it because they thought they had a long life?"
The rest of the people shouted and cursed one after another.
The old man frowned and looked at the leading people below, and said to Lazy Cat: "There are six Martial Lords and about twenty other Martial Emperors. It's a bit tricky now. We have to find a way to separate the three big ships. We can't
Let them stay together and fight ship by ship."
The lazy cat flapped its wings, turned around again, and hovered over one of the large ships. Then it raised its tail, and lumps of smelly feces fell towards the large ship below.
The crowd below suddenly ran away like a fried pot, and kept cursing.
The lazy cat also looked down and said, "Let's light some incense for them first."
The old man didn't care about Lazy Cat's almost rogue behavior. After seeing the people below escaping back to the cabin, a few people dressed as servants came out with brooms and dustpans and rags, and began to clean up Lazy Cat's masterpieces on the deck.
.
The lazy cat flew around in the sky, making the three large ships stink. The decks were full of cleaning servants working, and the other warriors hid in the cabins.
But the three large ships were still side by side, very close to each other, and did not separate.
The lazy cat hovered in the sky and said helplessly: "They are very smart, and the distance between them is such that they can support each other at any time."
The old man frowned, looked at it for a long time, and said: "When I get down, you will be in the air, just pick me up at any time."
"No, what if you are surrounded by them and I can't pick you up?"
"Be obedient, I will jump to the bow of the ship when the situation is wrong. When the time comes, just fly over and catch me. If we all go down, once we are entangled, no one can run away. Only with you in the air can I have a way out.
"
The lazy cat hesitated for a moment and felt that what the old man said made sense. If it fell down too, it would be too big and could easily be climbed up by the warrior and entangled. No one was there to help the old man, and they would have no chance of escaping.
It fell silent.
The old man continued: "Drop down a little, I'm going down."
The lazy cat retracted its wings slightly and flew down diagonally. The old man held a big sword and lowered his body. Just when the lazy cat was about to approach the roof of the cabin, the old man slipped with his feet and landed on the roof of the cabin again.
He jumped onto the deck and swung the sword in his hand towards the crowd rushing out of the cabin.
The lazy cat's wings slammed into the cabin, and the entire roof of the cabin was smashed through, and the windows and doors flew in all directions.
With the force of flapping its wings, the lazy cat flew high into the sky again and continued to hover above, staring closely at the old man's figure.
Below, the old man was surrounded by more than a dozen people. He slashed horizontally and vertically with a big sword, dancing so hard that it was difficult to get in. People around him were injured from time to time, and screams came one after another.
At this time, the other two ships approached, and several warriors jumped over. One of them loudly ordered, "Except for the Martial Lord, everyone else should move away, surround the ship, and be careful of that beast in the sky."
In an instant, more than a dozen people dispersed and stood around the boat. The few people who jumped over and the people who were greeting the old man took their positions and stood in separate positions, surrounding the old man in the middle again.
The old man screamed secretly in his heart, and the sound caused by the swing of the big sword was like the sound of thunder, and it struck down on several people.
There was a person behind him, taking advantage of the situation, holding the deck with one hand, and kicked his waist with both legs. The old man retracted his sword, drew a circle behind him, and then thrust it out diagonally upwards.
The man quickly retracted his legs, paused his palms lightly, and stood up again. He saw the big sword slashing down on his shoulder like lightning from above.
The man was shocked and couldn't help shouting, and stepped back repeatedly. The old man took advantage of the situation and stepped forward to strike three swords in a row. Each sword passed through his face and then circled around him, so that the people around him did not dare to approach rashly.
The man had no choice but to jump onto the side of the ship. The old man rushed up again, jumped into the air with his whole body, and slashed down with his sword. The man could have jumped into the sea and saved his life, but he hesitated in the flash of lightning.
When he was finally about to jump into the sea, it was already too late. The sword struck straight down and split his head in half. The man didn't have time to scream, and his body swayed on the side of the ship before stepping on it.
He stepped on it and fell straight into the sea.
Without looking, the old man jumped onto the side of the ship, turned around, pointed his sword forward, faced the gathered warriors, and said with a ferocious smile: "Come on, whoever is not afraid of death, just charge forward."
The old man used all his strength to attack with these few moves, killing a martial master. His momentum suddenly rose. At this time, his face was spattered with blood. When he smiled ferociously, it made people feel even more cruel.
The old man stood on the side of the ship, with the sea behind him. The remaining five people could no longer completely surround the old man, so they had to attack in front of him.
One of them was holding a sledgehammer. He was tall and strong, with a beard all over his face. There was almost no free space on his face.
The big man with a hammer pointed his sledgehammer at the old man and shouted angrily: "You old thief, kill my fourth brother, I will cut you to death with a thousand knives today."
After saying that, without waiting for others to take action, the strong body jumped forward suddenly, and a sledgehammer hit the old man's head with bursts of thunder.
The old man didn't use his big sword to block, he just swayed on the side of the ship to avoid the hammer, and stabbed the chest of the big man with the hammer who was leaping forward.
Although the big man with the hammer had a strong body, his body skills were extremely agile. When he saw the hammer fell, he stabbed with the long sword. He twisted his thick body in mid-air and dodged diagonally downwards.
Before the big man with the hammer landed on the deck, a man beside him thrust out two swords in his hands, blocking the big sword, and then stabbed the old man's throat with two more swords.
The old man hurriedly took half a step back and blocked the attack with his big sword. A warrior on the other side took advantage of this opportunity and slapped the old man on the shoulder with both palms. The old man retracted his sword and raised it upwards. The warrior quickly retracted his palms and jumped away.
The big man with the hammer rolled around on the deck and stood up again, swinging the hammer in his hand into a circle of hammer shadows, approaching the old man.
The old man narrowed his eyes slightly, and quickly thrust a sword into the hammer shadow. He saw the big sword piercing through the hammer shadow, piercing one of the big man's arms. The big man screamed, and the hammer in his hand fell to the deck with a bang.
On the ground, he covered his punctured arm with one hand and stepped back several steps, screaming in agony.
The big man with the hammer withdrew from the surrounding circle, and the few remaining people couldn't help but look very solemn. The man holding the two swords winked at the other person beside him, then stepped forward, and struck the old man's face and chest with the two swords.
Stab down.
The old man stepped on the side of the ship and couldn't help but move his feet to avoid the two swords. The other man slapped his palm to feint attack, raised his other hand, and shot a short sword into the old man's abdomen. The old man just moved two steps to avoid the two swords.
, the dagger that flew out of nowhere pierced the old man's belly.
The old man didn't cry out when he was hit by the sword, he just grunted and struck back hard with his sword, knocking one arm of Wu Zun, who had taken two steps ahead and stabbed him twice while he was injured, to the ground.
One of the sword warrior's arms fell to the ground, and he was holding the sword hilt tightly. Only then did he let out a miserable howl, and his body fell down, rolling on the deck.
The old man reached out and pulled out the dagger from his belly, and a stream of blood spurted out from the wound.
He held a big sword in one hand and a dagger in the other. With his eyes wide open, he stared fiercely at the three uninjured Martial Lords in front of him.
He stared at these three people with chills all over his body. One of them said, "Who do you respect? Why are you going against us?"
The old man coughed and spat out a mouthful of thick phlegm towards the Martial Lord who opened his mouth, saying: "I am from Tianyuan Continent. I am waiting here specifically to take you back to your Lingding Continent."
"I see......"
The man's figure moved slightly to avoid the old man's mouthful of thick phlegm, and then said: "You have been injured, and you can't escape today. Why don't you put down your weapon, and we may still be able to discuss it."
"Bah, you shameless bitches always want to rob other people's livestock. I have nothing to discuss with you."
After hearing the old man's words, Wu Zun, who spoke, had a cold light in his eyes.
"Then go to hell."
As he cursed, a big knife emerged from his hand and struck towards the old man's face. One of the two warriors beside him stabbed the old man under the ribs with a sword, while the other held two essence sticks.
The iron short stick also hit the old man's head.
At the critical moment, the old man pushed hard on the side of the ship with both feet, and his whole body jumped up to a height of more than two feet. In the air, the lazy cat glided over, grabbed both arms of the old man with its claws, and then flapped its wings and flew up.
Fly away.
Below, the man holding two fine iron rods threw away the two iron rods in his hands, and he stomped on the deck. He rose up and grabbed the old man's feet with both hands.
Immediately, the man with the sword grabbed the ankle of the man with the two sticks with one hand and leaned down. The man with the big knife also grabbed the calf of the man with the sword with one hand.
The three of them seemed to be connected in series, one of them grabbed the other and suppressed the lazy cat's flying momentum.
The lazy cat lowered his head to look, then flapped his wings vigorously and flew up again. Below him, all the other warriors gathered around him and hugged the man with the broadsword.
Some were holding his legs, some were hugging his waist, and a dozen others were all the same, hugging each other below.
People on the two nearby boats also jumped over and dragged the people at the bottom one after another.
After a while, forty or fifty people gathered and hugged each other into a ball. No matter how hard the lazy cat flapped its wings, it could not fly high. It flapped desperately several times in succession, but still could not break free. The old man kept shouting: "Let me go."
,let me go."
The lazy cat didn't listen, but kept flapping its wings, but couldn't fly. Everyone below worked hard to drag it down, and with loud roars, it was finally dragged down and plunged into the sea.
Just when the lazy cat plunged into the sea, the old man took advantage of the man holding his feet to fall into the water, and at the moment when his body was slightly lifted by the water, he stabbed the big sword at the top of his head.
The man's head was hit by a sword, and he opened his mouth to shout, but the top of his head had already sunk into the water. When he opened his mouth, salty sea water poured into his mouth, and he could no longer shout.
He just kept waving his hands and feet in the water, stirring up bubbles and splashing endlessly. After a while, the man stopped breathing and his body fell straight into the depths of the sea.
After the old man fell into the sea, the lazy cat grabbed one of his arms with only one hind paw and tried to swim forward.
The Lingding warriors behind them also swam hard towards them. These warriors from Lingding Continent had excellent water skills, and their swimming speed was no slower than that of a lazy cat.
The old man put the dagger on his waist and patted the back paw that the lazy cat grabbed him with, and the lazy cat immediately let go.
The old man pulled the hair on Lazy Cat's body and swam forward for a while. He saw the people from Lingding Continent behind him chasing after him, and then looked up at their own big ship, which was still dozens of feet ahead.
Blood continued to pour out of the old man's abdominal wound, and as they swam, it diluted in the sea water.
The lazy cat swam hard for a while, stretched its head out of the sea, flapped its wings against the sea again, and finally flew up this time. The moment it left the sea, it grabbed the old man again with its hind paws, and then lifted him up.
in the air.
Its wings kept beating and flapping, flying higher and higher, but it did not fly towards their own ship.
After it flew dozens of feet high, it glanced around, then chose a direction and flapped its wings vigorously to fly there.
The old man was grabbed by one of his arms, and still holding the big sword in the other hand. He laughed feebly and said: "I still can't tell the direction, you lazy cat."
