Zhaoge.

National Teacher's Mansion.

After Yin Qi ascended the throne, he appointed Daoist Yang as the National Teacher and bestowed this mansion.

Except for the servants, he rarely came here.

Unless it was necessary for Daoist Yang to appear.

At other times, Daoist Yang was like a divine dragon, seeing only the head and not the tail.

Su Daji woke up faintly and found herself lying on a strange bed; a look of terror flashed in her eyes, and she hurriedly turned over and sat up, while checking her clothes.

Fortunately, her clothes were intact.

"Awake."

"Who?"

Suddenly hearing another man's voice in the room, Su Daji was startled and realized that at the table in the room, there sat a cold-looking young man with sword-like eyebrows and star-like eyes.

"Who are you, where is this, why did you kidnap me here?"

Although Su Daji was afraid, she scolded righteously: "Do you know that I am the daughter of Jizhou Marquis Su Hu, the future concubine of the Human Emperor? If you do this, are you not afraid that there will be no place for you in the world?"

Yin Qi shook his head and smiled: "First, I did not kidnap you here. Second, I am your savior. Earlier, a fox demon made a move secretly, wanting to replace you and enter the palace; it was I who saved you. This is the National Teacher's Mansion; you can call me Daoist Yang."

"Daoist Yang, you are the National Teacher."

Su Daji was shocked.

Who in the Great Shang Celestial Dynasty does not know the name of the National Teacher, Daoist Yang, today?

Her heart settled slightly, recalling the scene before losing her memory; she was preparing to sleep when a flash of white appeared before her eyes, and then she completely lost consciousness.

Now it seems that it really was Daoist Yang who saved her.

Besides, with the status and position of the National Teacher, there was no need to kidnap her.

"Many thanks, National Teacher. It is getting late, can the National Teacher send this little girl back?"

"No."

Yin Qi shook his head: "I said earlier that a fox demon wanted to replace you and enter the palace as a concubine. Now, she has probably transformed into your appearance and appeared at the Jizhou branch mansion."

Su Daji was stunned and hurriedly said: "National Teacher, since you knew, why did you not capture the fox demon?"

Yin Qi said indifferently: "The fox demon entering the palace has already received the Great King's permission, and the matters involved are very complicated; I cannot explain it clearly to you. However, if you still want to enter the palace, you can, but you need to change your name."

"This..."

Su Daji was dumbfounded.

She looked straight at Yin Qi, not knowing whether to believe him or not.

How could the Great King allow a fox demon to enter the palace?

After a long time, she shook her head and said: "Since that is the case, then forget it. National Teacher, can I go home?"

Yin Qi shook his head: "It is best not to; there cannot be two Su Daji in the world. This is disadvantageous to the Great King, disadvantageous to your father, and even more disadvantageous to yourself; your best choice is to live with a new identity.

I can arrange a new identity for you, whether it is entering the Academy or the Martial Academy.

If you do not want either, I can also teach you cultivation.

You can just stay in the National Teacher's Mansion, and to the outside world, you are my maid."

Su Daji's eyes narrowed.

She understood Yin Qi's implication.

If she exposed her identity, not only would she die, but Jizhou would also be implicated.

"National Teacher, I want to study in the Academy. But there are disciples from my Jizhou Marquis Mansion in the Academy; they will recognize me."

"This is easy; I will change your appearance for you."

"Good, then many thanks, Daoist."

Su Daji smiled beautifully.

Although she also admired the Human Emperor, she did not really want to enter the palace and compete for favor with other concubines.

Now, changing her identity might not be bad either.

………

After settling Su Daji, the acupoint deities returned to his body.

Lying on the spacious immortal jade bed, Yin Qi felt quite expectant; the general outline of the "Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon," "Take the power of nine Yin, almost close to Chaos," was settled.

The power of nine Yin is difficult if you say it is difficult, and simple if you say it is simple.

With his status as the Human Emperor, if he rules the Primordial World in the future, gathering the full power of nine Yin will not be a difficult task.

As for Hu Xian'er's bewitchment.

A mere Earth Immortal wanting to bewitch him is simply a fantasy.

And after she enters the palace, Zhou Ji, Huang Feiyan, and Feng Yanran will all be Heavenly Immortals, and they can easily suppress Hu Xian'er.

……

The next day.

In the Zichen Hall, Yin Qi summoned the high ministers of the court, including the Cabinet members Shang Rong, Du Yuanxian, Yang Ren, Mei Bo, and Zhao Qi;

The Ministers of the various departments, Zishi, Chen Xu, Yao Zhong, Weizi, and Xia Zhao;

The Military Secretariat members Wen Zhong, Huang Feihu, Jizi, Zhou Jian, Kou Feng, and Ma Benqi;

The Censorate members Bi Gan, Boyi, and Shuqi.

As well as the chief and deputy commanders of the Xuan Bird Guard and the Imperial Guard, Ye Kai, Duan Lei, Jiang Tao, and Li Qi.

The ministers were also curious why the Great King had summoned them all.

Yin Qi looked around at everyone and smiled warmly: "Yesterday, the National Teacher presented quite a few immortal pills and medicines to this King, which can allow one to become an immortal on the spot after taking them. You are all pillars of my Great Shang, so it is just right to bestow them all today."

"Become an immortal on the spot!"

The ministers were both surprised and happy.

Except for Wen Zhong, there was not a single immortal among this group of people.

Wen Zhong's shock was even greater, because he knew the preciousness of immortal pills and medicines that could allow one to become an immortal on the spot, and except for rare pills and innate spiritual roots, they basically all had various side effects.

But even so, it was not something that just anyone could take out in large quantities.

Otherwise, immortals would not be scarce within Great Shang.

This Daoist Yang is truly mysterious in origin, actually being able to take out a large number of immortal pills and medicines.

Although he did not know how many there were, at least everyone present had a share.

"Prime Minister."

Yin Qi took out a storage ring and handed it to Shang Rong, saying: "Inside are ten Earth Immortal Pills and five Heavenly Immortal Pills; hand them over to you for distribution."

Shang Rong hurriedly stepped forward and took the storage ring: "Many thanks, Great King."

Yin Qi took out another storage ring and handed it to Wen Zhong: "Grand Tutor, inside are forty portions of Earth Immortal Liquid and ten portions of Heavenly Immortal Liquid; hand them over to you for distribution. These immortal medicines require medicinal baths to exert their maximum effect."

Wen Zhong said in a deep voice: "Many thanks, Great King."

He knew that besides the ministers of the Military Secretariat present having a share, the others were to be distributed to the great generals in various places, otherwise, he would not have given fifty portions of immortal medicine.

He could only marvel at Daoist Yang's grand gesture, which did not look like a rogue cultivator at all.

Could it be that alchemists are just this arrogant?

"Imperial Uncle, inside are ten Earth Immortal Pills and three Heavenly Immortal Pills; hand them over to you for distribution."

"Ye Kai, Duan Lei, the Xuan Bird Guard will be allocated these two Heavenly Immortal Pills and ten Earth Immortal Pills;"

"Jiang Tao, Li Qi, your Imperial Guard will also have two Heavenly Immortal Pills and ten Earth Immortal Pills."

Yin Qi quickly distributed them all, and finally said in a deep voice: "The development of the Great Shang Celestial Dynasty will not be confined to the current territory; you, as the pillars of the imperial court, must not fall behind in cultivation.

I will seek out immortal pills and medicines for you.

You must also work hard to cultivate yourselves, and do not let yourselves fall behind."

"Yes, Great King!"

Everyone felt a chill in their hearts, and a bright light flashed in their eyes.

In their minds, Yin Qi's words were still echoing: "The development of the Great Shang Celestial Dynasty will not be confined to the current territory"; does the Great King have the heart to expand the territory outward?

Actually, thinking about it carefully, it is normal for the Great King to have such ambition.

In the past, the territory of Great Shang could not be expanded because it was limited by transportation and could not effectively rule the local areas, so it had to be enfeoffed to guard the four directions.

Now that Great Shang has teleportation arrays, solved the transportation problem, carried out comprehensive literacy campaigns, and the Martial Hall has opened everywhere, it already has the foundation for continuing to expand the territory.

Today, the Great King bestowed so many immortal pills and medicines, and the national strength of Great Shang will be terrifyingly improved.

Based on this, how could the Great King be content with the status quo?
