Chapter 194 Even I, an ox, couldn't withstand this!
As the Evergreen True Qi flowed in, Sun Qiao'er's cultivation level slowly increased at a slight pace.
Don't underestimate this speed. Sun Qiao'er was already at the peak of the Xuanji realm. Every point she improved required a massive amount of Yin Yang Sha.
However, now that Ding Yi has infused his Evergreen True Qi into her head, Sun Qiao'er has noticed that her cultivation, which had been stagnant for a long time, has increased again, which immediately made a look of surprise flash in her eyes.
Half an hour later, Ding Yi finally released his grip, then sat down wearily and took out a pill from his pocket and put it in his mouth.
This is the Qi-restoring pill, a common type of pill found in the Pill Pavilion of the Myriad Manifestations Sect, which can quickly restore physical strength.
As Li Xiangzhu, now a well-known figure in the Wanxiang Sect, the manager of the Dan Pavilion would send Ding Yi a lot of pills every month, and this Qi-restoring pill was one of them.
"Master, are you okay?"
Sun Qiao'er was also awakened from her cultivation at this moment. She turned her head and saw Ding Yi sitting there taking medicine. She couldn't help but ask with some concern.
"Don't worry, how much has your cultivation improved?"
Ding Yi looked at Sun Qiao'er in front of him and quickly asked.
"Hmm, that's roughly equivalent to absorbing one-twentieth of the Crimson Idol."
Sun Qiao'er sensed it for a moment, then spoke.
"Based on your estimate, how long will it take to break through to the Divine Palace Realm?"
Ding Yi asked again.
"If you transfer your skills for ten hours a day, you can break through in a month."
Sun Qiao'er made a quick estimate and then said.
"Forehead.."
Upon hearing this, Ding Yi immediately felt a wave of weakness wash over him.
Even an ox couldn't withstand such exhaustion, working ten hours a day!
Moreover, this calculation was based on the premise that Sun Qiao'er had good talent and could effectively convert Evergreen True Qi. If it were someone with poor talent, it might take three months.
However, Ding Yi's Evergreen True Qi is only at the minor completion stage at the moment. If he cultivates it to perfection, Ding Yi believes that this speed should be greatly improved. However, all of this still needs to be verified later.
"What reason did you use to come down the mountain this time?"
Ding Yi then asked.
"Reporting to your master, I told him that we were investigating the disappearance at Taiping Palace."
Sun Qiao'er said.
"Hmm, that reason is quite suitable. Very well, in the coming days, you will accompany me to conduct a thorough investigation. Accumulating merits will help you rise rapidly in rank after returning to the palace!"
Ding Yi looked at Sun Qiao'er in front of him, and then slowly said.
On the other side, at the border of Qingzhou and Yizhou.
Master Fuliu sat atop a giant gray three-eyed lion, gazing at the boundless plains before him, lost in thought.
"Da da da."
The crisp sound of hooves rang out behind him, and then a figure clad in iron armor rode a demonic horse to his side, respectfully saying:
"My lord, eighty li ahead lies Danyang City, the defensive city of the Yin-Yang Palace."
"The Yin-Yang Palace is nothing but a bunch of trash."
Master Fuliu yawned, then waved his hand before riding his mount toward the plains ahead.
At this moment, thousands of armored soldiers suddenly appeared from the back of the slope behind him. They were all dressed in heavy blue armor, and even the demonic horses beneath them were covered in iron armor. Their imposing figures made them look even more formidable.
These thousands of elite soldiers were the army under Master Fuliu's own command, and he had brought them here to head to Qingzhou.
The disappearance of his general Wang Yuan made him lose all patience, and after failing to communicate with the Yin Yang Palace, he decided to come in person.
As for the Taiping Palace, some elders, including Master Fuliu, opposed the practice, believing that it might arouse suspicion from the Yin-Yang Palace and cause turmoil in both states.
However, some elders believe that Yin Yang Palace has never taken Taiping Palace seriously. Now that Master Fuliu is willing to be the first to speak out, it can be seen as letting the world see the strength of Taiping Palace.
As for Master Fuliu himself, he scoffed at these discussions.
Whatever Fu Liu wants to do, no one can stop him except the Palace Master.
As for the master of Taiping Palace, he has been in seclusion for ten years and has not emerged since, so he is completely unaware of this matter.
Therefore, although Fu Liu's actions caused some commotion within Taiping Palace, they ultimately yielded no results.
Some elders even declared that if Fu Liu died in Qingzhou, Taiping Palace would immediately sever ties with him, claiming that this was his own decision and had nothing to do with Taiping Palace.
Fu Liu witnessed all of this, and her disappointment with Taiping Palace grew ever stronger.
During the Great Battle of the Hundred Palaces, Taiping Palace was incredibly dazzling, causing the immortal palaces throughout Yizhou to wither and the sects to be wiped out.
The peaceful days of the past have eroded this once fierce tiger, making him timid and hesitant, like a critically ill cat, which Fu Liu finds truly unbelievable.
Therefore, he collected special bloodlines from all over the world, intending to forge the immortal artifact "Taiping Calamity" so that he could rebuild the glory of peace and conquer the four seas and eight wastelands!
Sun Qiao'er's special bloodline is one of the things he must obtain.
"Boom boom boom!"
At that moment, as these thousands of people ran about, the entire grassland trembled slightly, as if an angry dragon was surging beneath the earth, about to burst out of the ground!
Danyang City.
"Open the city gates immediately!!"
A scout galloped toward the city gate from afar, roaring wildly.
"It's Ma Qi! Open the door!!"
The commander on the city wall recognized Ma Qi as the scout and immediately shouted at the soldiers beside him.
The soldiers quickly stood on the wall and waved flags down, while the burly men by the winch below pulled the winch, slowly opening the huge iron gate.
"call!"
Ma Qi rode his demonic horse into the city, immediately dismounted, and addressed the already arrived garrison commander, Wang Yong:
"Reporting to the general! Cavalry from Taiping Palace, numbering about two thousand, have been spotted fifty li away and are heading this way!"
"What?! Taiping Palace?"
Wang Yong was taken aback, then asked incredulously:
"you sure?"
"It's confirmed. The banner depicts the alchemy furnace of Taiping Palace asking the heavens, but the number of cavalry is rather small."
Ma Qi was also somewhat puzzled.
"Use the Mysterious Jade to transmit a message back to the palace, and also issue an order for everyone to be on alert!!"
Upon hearing this, Wang Yong pondered for a moment before giving the order to the person beside him. Then, he lifted his cloak and took the lead in climbing up the city wall.
Danyang City is the first border city of Yizhou and Qingzhou.
The city wall stretches for more than 20 miles from east to west, with two sections extending into the Rakshasa Sea. It faces Baiyun Mountain to the east and was hastily constructed after the Yin-Yang Palace seized control of Qingzhou.
At this moment, Wang Yong climbed the twenty-meter-high city tower and looked out into the distance, seemingly waiting for the cavalry that Ma Qi had mentioned.
Just three incense sticks' worth of time later, Wang Yong saw countless black dots appearing on the ground ahead.
"It really is Taiping Palace!"
Even from several miles away, Wang Yong could clearly see the flags raised in the distance among the army, and at the same time, he spotted the man at the very front of the column.
"Willow branches?!"
Wang Yong was taken aback when he recognized the man as Master Fuliu, an elder from Taiping Palace.
The next moment, a faint, illusory figure appeared in front of Wang Yong.
"You are the garrison commander of Danyang City?"
A phantom figure, identical to the Venerable Fuliu, appeared out of thin air and asked Wang Yong with a calm expression.
