Chapter 844: Three Years

Although Chen Xi felt some regret that she could only purchase the refining techniques for Earth Immortal Class Warships, she believed that as long as the Immortal Dynasty's artifact refiners studied them in depth, they would certainly be able to refine Heavenly Immortal Class, or even Mysterious Immortal Class warships.

But what she could think of, how could Yin Qi not think of it as well?

What he prepared to sell was the refining technique for the Sky Patrol Warships of the Di Yi era.

This type of Sky Patrol Warship had high construction costs, extremely high requirements for artifact refining techniques, and also required a large number of cultivators to drive it with their own cultivation; at the same time, its performance in all aspects could not compare to the warships produced on the assembly lines of the Immortal Court.

Therefore, selling the refining technique for this type of Sky Patrol Warship was no loss.

Keeping it had no value, and it could still earn some money.

Chen Xi, insatiable, requested again: "Great King, the Great Shang Celestial Dynasty is also proficient in alchemy. I wonder if you could sell the pill formulas and the methods of alchemy?"

As for purchasing pills, she did not ask.

If even warships were for sale, pills could certainly be sold as well.

Yin Qi smiled gently: "Of course they can also be sold, but the price is not cheap, and only pill formulas below the Heavenly Immortal Class are sold. I will notify the Equipment Department about these matters; you can just send people to negotiate with the Equipment Department."

Other materials such as Talismans, Array Formations, and Puppetry are all open to you for anything below the Heavenly Immortal Class.

Of course, if you can bring out treasures that move me, it is not impossible to sell the techniques of the hundred trades at the Heavenly Immortal Class, or even the Mysterious Immortal Class."

It was just selling technology; the key still depended on the supply chain and production costs.

Just like the refining method for Mysterious Immortal Class warships, even if he gave it to Chen Xi, the Dayong Immortal Dynasty would have no way to refine them.

As for Earth Immortal Realm warships, the Dayong Immortal Dynasty's production efficiency and costs would certainly far exceed those of the Yin Shang.

With the same manpower, the Yin Shang could refine ten, while the Dayong could probably only refine one.

And wars in the Honghuang do not just fight national strength, but also high-level martial power, so Yin Qi was not worried about technology leaks.

"Thank you, Great King."

Chen Xi and the others' eyes all lit up.

……

One hour later.

Yin Qi kept all one hundred palace maids this time, though their ranks were not high.

Next, it was time to consider the issue of offspring.

To leave offspring, the true self must certainly go in person; this was a sign of respect for Zhou Ji and the others.

Thinking of this, Yin Qi sent a WeChat message to Nuwa.

Yin Qi (Chen Nan): Feng Xi, I have matters to attend to and must leave Zhaoge for a period of time.

Nuwa (Feng Xi): When will you leave, and when will you return?

Yin Qi (Chen Nan): I leave tomorrow; it might be half a year, or it might be a hundred years. I will return once I have finished my business.

Nuwa (Feng Xi): Alright. Have a safe journey.

In fact, Nuwa also really wanted to ask what the matter was, perhaps she could help, but considering her current persona—merely a Mysterious Immortal—how could she possibly help a Golden Immortal?

However, she was not worried about Yin Qi's safety.

After all, he was a Peak Great Luo; as long as he did not actively seek death, there was nothing in the Honghuang that could threaten Yin Qi.

Over the past half year, although Yin Qi's strategy had been advancing steadily, it was still some distance from success; he could clearly feel Nuwa's conflict, her heart both yearning and resisting.

Having watched many romance dramas, she naturally yearned for it in her heart.

But considering her own identity, she did not dare to take that step.

If this romance were exposed, she would become a joke to the Sages, and even a joke in the eyes of all living beings in the Honghuang.

Just like Yaoji marrying Yang Tianyou; Haotian was furious upon learning of it, going so far as to suppress Yaoji under Taoshan, killing Yang Tianyou, and not even sparing the three siblings including Yang Jian.

Yin Qi understood Nuwa's concerns, so he was not in a hurry, knowing this had to be done slowly.

………

The next day.

Yin Qi sent another farewell message to Nuwa, then stepped into the void.

In reality, he flashed into his Inner Heaven and Earth.

Half an hour later, Yin Qi quietly exited the Inner Heaven and Earth and returned to the Imperial Palace.

……

"Eh!"

Nuwa gave a soft exclamation and frowned slightly.

She was worried about Yin Qi, so she wanted to check on him secretly, but she did not expect to lose track of Yin Qi all at once.

She even attempted a Calculation, but still could not find Yin Qi's whereabouts.

It seemed there was something blocking her Calculation.

A flash of light passed through her eyes, and she whispered to herself: "This Chen Nan is truly somewhat mysterious. But thinking about it, it makes sense; as a member of the Human Race, to cultivate to Peak Great Luo in a mere few hundred thousand years, and even have the hope of achieving Quasi-Saint, how could he be simple?" Aside from the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, the person with the highest cultivation in the Human Race was Xuandu Dafa Shi.

He was an Innate Human and a disciple of Laozi, yet even now he only had the cultivation of a Golden Immortal Mid-Stage.

Like Yunzhongzi, who was also an Innate Human, he was currently only at Golden Immortal Peak.

These were already very outstanding people.

"Could he have left in such a hurry this time to plan for achieving Quasi-Saint?"

Nuwa pondered secretly.

If the other party possessed an Innate Spiritual Treasure, perhaps this time was to find a hidden place to break through.

If he did not have an Innate Spiritual Treasure, then it might be to plot to seize one.

But in the current Honghuang, Innate Spiritual Treasures were already highly concentrated; they were either in the hands of powerhouses above Great Luo or in the hands of cultivators with great backgrounds, so trying to seize one was not easy.

………

Imperial Palace.

Please... you... add to your library... and... vote for the book...!

Zichen Hall.

Yin Qi quietly merged into his Clone.

The strategy to win over Nuwa had entered a bottleneck period; there was no need for his true self to waste time with her, as he could completely develop a cyber-romance through WeChat and slowly wear her down.

A cyber-romance can make people set aside their reserve.

Some things one dares not say in person can be said through WeChat.

It was precisely because of this that he said he might leave for half a year, or perhaps a hundred years.

This amount of time was merely the blink of an eye for them.

……

In the days that followed, Yin Qi either listened to the Dao, handled state affairs, or visited his concubines in the inner palace.

When visiting the five women—Zhou Ji, Longji Gongzhu, Shang Qingjun, Huang Feiyan, and Feng Yanran—he utilized a secret technique from the Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon to allow them to conceive a Yang fetus.

Once a Yang fetus is conceived, the child born in the future will be a boy.

As for the other concubines, Yin Qi had no plans to let them become pregnant for the time being.

He intended to have nine sons and three daughters; he had already used up the quota for five sons, and the rest would be discussed later.

……

One month later.

Zhou Ji, Longji Gongzhu, Shang Qingjun, Huang Feiyan, and Feng Yanran all became pregnant one after another, and the news made the headlines of the Yin Shang Express; not only the ministers but all the common people cheered one after another.

Countless commoners spontaneously organized to pray for blessings for Zhou Ji and the others.

The public sentiment, which had been somewhat restless, suddenly became stable.

With the Human Emperor having an heir, the people were naturally at ease.

With five women pregnant at the same time, they would certainly give birth to an imperial prince.

……

Time passes like a river, never ceasing day or night.

In the blink of an eye, two more years passed, and the time arrived at the thirteenth year of Di Qi.

The Sages had been preaching the Dao for nearly three years.

During these three years, all parts of Honghuang were very calm.

However, in the Human Ancestral Land, undercurrents had long been surging.

After more than three years of development and the promotion of the Sages' preaching, the various Vassal States in the south, as well as the elders of the various Vassal States in the east and north, had all digested the cultivation resources secretly provided by Xiqi, and their forces were unprecedentedly strong.

Take the Southern Marquis E Chongyu, for example; he had over five thousand Immortal Dao cultivators under his command, twenty of whom were Mysterious Immortals.

This level of strength was something he had never dared to imagine before.

Naturally, his ambition was expanding.

However, he did not know that more than eighty percent of these five thousand-plus Immortal Dao cultivators were disciples of Tianluo Hall.

The various vassals were secretly contacting each other and frequently moving troops; an uprising was imminent.

Furthermore, there was naturally Xiqi; although Yuanshi Tianzun had been preaching for the past two years, the one preaching was also a Clone, while his true self had bestowed large amounts of cultivation resources upon Xiqi time and time again.

It was precisely because of this that Xiqi's strength had once again expanded unprecedentedly.

The number of Immortal Dao cultivators had already exceeded two hundred thousand.

Once the three-year period arrived and the Sages paused their preaching, Xiqi would inevitably contact the various vassals to attack Yin Shang from all four directions. (End of this chapter)
