Main text Chapter 693: First taste of Xianyuan Pill

(Make up for October, 2900 monthly tickets plus more)

Thirty Immortal Yuan Pills are equivalent to three million inferior wish beads!

‘Niu Er, do you know? I really want to go to that palace and see it. I want to be the mistress of that palace…’

In the quiet room, Miao Yi sat cross-legged on the stone couch, looking at the Immortal Yuan Pill in the jade box with a purple hazy halo. The words of the proprietress were still echoing in his ears, and the expectant eyes of the proprietress were still there.

Pinching an Immortal Yuan Pill in his hand, he closed the jade box and put it away. When the immortal pill was about to be put into his mouth, he paused for a moment, cast a spell and said, "Qian'er, Xue'er."

After a while, the two girls came over and bowed, "My lord, what do you want?"

Miao Yi wrote a decree on the spot and threw it to the two of them, and told them, "I want to practice in seclusion. Remember, I won't come out, no one is allowed to come in and disturb me, including you two, no matter how big the matter is. Order Ximen Yan and Jian Sanniang to guard the palace day and night. I won't come out, no one is allowed to approach, and those who disobey the order will be killed!"

The two girls looked at each other and said, "Yes!"

After the two girls left, Miao Yi waved his sleeves, and the surging magic power swept out, and the heavy stone door at the entrance of the quiet room closed with a bang.

The two girls outside the door looked at each other, quite surprised, wondering why the lord was so serious in seclusion this time.

Little did they know that their master was going to swallow the Immortal Yuan Pill, and there was a big difference between the Immortal Yuan Pill and the Wish Power Pearl. The Wish Power Pearl only used the will of all living beings to speed up the acquisition of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, while the Immortal Yuan Pill itself was almost condensed from the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

The refining of the Wish Power Pearl can be stopped halfway, and it can be stopped at any time. But once the Immortal Yuan Pill is swallowed and refined. The surging spiritual energy will either be absorbed or wasted. If it stops before the end, it will be a huge loss.

In the quiet room. Miao Yi, who was meditating and regulating his breath, calmed down his emotions, and turned over a palm that was supported by his knees. The Immortal Yuan Pill, which was the size of a quail egg and had a hazy purple halo, floated up slowly. When it floated to Miao Yi's mouth, Miao Yi suddenly opened his mouth and sucked it directly into his mouth. With a gurgle, it slid down his throat and into his stomach.

After the Immortal Pill entered his stomach, Miao Yi held his knees with both hands and concentrated. A force in his stomach cracked the patina shell of the Immortal Yuan Pill, and he saw purple juice flowing when he looked inside.

As soon as the purple juice separated from the patina shell, it was like purple air coming from the east. As soon as it came into contact with the outside world, it immediately underwent a miraculous change. It quickly volatilized a majestic spiritual energy and rushed straight into the throat.

Miao Yi quickly clapped his hands on his knees and cast a spell to lock the throat, preventing the spiritual energy from leaking out. It is difficult to collect such a precious thing at ordinary times. How can it be wasted!

However, the surging spiritual energy was so fierce that Miao Yi quickly cast a spell to seal his internal organs, and then cast a spell to suppress the spiritual energy that continued to expand. However, it was a bit difficult to suppress it with his cultivation. His belly was expanding at a visible speed.

Soon, his abdomen was twice as large as that of a pregnant woman in her tenth month, and there was a trend of continued expansion. Miao Yi felt that his body was about to burst, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead due to the pain. He desperately cast a spell and cast a spell again, and barely suppressed it.

Only then did he realize that the rumors were true. A cultivator at the White Lotus level is not lucky enough to consume such an elixir. Once consumed, the body will explode. It is a waste for a cultivator at the end of the Green Lotus level to consume it. It is really unacceptable to be at the Red Lotus level.

After finally stabilizing himself, he was able to slowly move a trace of mana to absorb the spiritual energy into his body, and then channel it into a void space opened up in his body through the meridians, which is where the cultivator's source of law is located, and absorb it into the source of law. The swollen spiritual energy in the abdomen immediately had a place to go.

Two days later, the swollen abdomen slowly subsided, and the swollen belly slowly deflated.

After all the spiritual energy in the abdomen was absorbed, Miao Yi, who had released the restrictions on his internal organs, let out a long sigh, counted the body's operating cycle with his fingers, and calculated the time based on this. He found that it took almost five days to digest an immortal Yuan pill.

One Xianyuan Pill is equivalent to 100,000 lower-grade wish beads, and he has been busy since he broke through to the Red Lotus realm, so he has little time to calm down and practice. It is estimated that it will take more than 1.31 million lower-grade wish beads to break through to the second level of Red Lotus, and now it still needs 1.3 million, which is basically not much change. In other words, thirteen Xianyuan Pills may not help him break through to the second level of Red Lotus, and it is estimated that fourteen will be enough.

The annual tribute will start in a month, and there will be no time by then. At most, he can only refine six or seven more Xianyuan Pills before the annual tribute.

He sighed lightly and swallowed another Xianyuan Pill into his stomach...

A month later, Miao Yi, who had refined seven Xianyuan Pills, came out of retreat, and his cultivation was still the first level of Red Lotus, without much change.

Outside the palace, Jian Sanniang and Ximen Yan, who had been guarding for more than a month, also breathed a sigh of relief. They could finally go back home.

The happy days for the monks of the two halls have come. The annual salary payment day has arrived. Among the two halls, only Ximen Yan has received salary once. The others came later. They are a little excited to receive salary for the first time when they joined the official.

The great hall master Miao, the hands-off shopkeeper, finally has to face the twenty palace masters of the two halls. He has thrown things to Yang Qing all year round, and it is necessary to show up at the end of the year.

Zhenren Hall suddenly became lively. People from the prefectures kept arriving to pay their annual taxes. The arriving palace masters also entered the palace to pay homage to the hall master one after another. The chief steward Yang Qing sat beside him to help Miao Yi pick up the slack.

Yang Qing is a flexible person. He knows who to take care of. Among the old people brought by Miao Yi, he knows that Chen Fei was the first person to come here with Miao Yi to conquer the world from Nanxuan Prefecture. Therefore, although Chen Fei's cultivation is not enough, there is still a place for Chen Fei among the twenty palace masters.

With Miao Yi as a backer and Yang Qing's advice, although Chen Fei was promoted out of turn, he was also doing a stable job. Although he was not outstanding in his position, he was also conscientious and lived up to expectations, and there were no mistakes.

Another one was Yang Zhaoqing, the guy who was detained by Miao Yi in his territory when he was the lord of Shuiyun Mansion and went to work hard for him. Ability is ability, gold can shine everywhere, and he attracted Yang Qing's attention with his own ability, and was also promoted by Yang Qing to be the lord of the mansion.

Among the old people that Miao Yi brought from Shuiyun Mansion, only Chen Fei and Yang Zhaoqing became the lords of the mansion, and most of the other backbones continued to be mountain masters. Yang Qing had a good sense of proportion and did not help Miao Yi to mistreat those old subordinates.

It's just that those old people can't benefit from it for a lifetime without outstanding performance. Not everyone can have a special relationship with Miao Yi like Chen Fei. Others who didn't keep up with this wave of trips don't know if they can keep up with it in the future.

Sometimes the survival of the fittest is so cruel, the capable strive to be the best, and the incapable will gradually become obscure or even eliminated.

Miao Yi is satisfied with Yang Qing's arrangement for his old subordinates, which shows that Yang Qing has indeed put a lot of thought into it. If he had not paid special attention to his old subordinates, Yang Zhaoqing might not have been able to surface without any special circumstances.

Facing Yang Zhaoqing who was getting off the station, Miao Yi said in person: "Zhaoqing, you have been promoted once in Shuiyun Mansion. This time, you are promoted again in an exceptional way. It is impossible to give you special care forever. You are a smart person, and you know what to do. I don't want your future to stop here. It is important to work hard to improve your own cultivation. Do you understand?"

Now everyone in the two halls knows that the hall master has caught the eye of the Lord Envoy. The Lord Envoy has paved the way for the hall master to rise. If nothing unexpected happens, it is only a matter of time before he becomes the palace master. Miao Yi's words are meaningful.

Yang Zhaoqing bowed and said, "I will never forget the kindness of the Palace Master, and I will definitely remember the teachings of the Palace Master!"

Miao Yi waved his hand and let him leave.

The Palace Masters of all the prefectures arrived, and Qian'er and Xue'er counted and received the annual payments submitted by the various prefectures.

The things were in place, and the salaries that should be paid were also distributed one by one by the internal steward Yan Xiu. Everyone was very happy to get what they should get.

With so many walkers, Miao Yi almost spent all his share. However, he had many concurrent positions. There was also a salary for walkers at the Muxing Palace, a salary for the Golden Palace deacon at Yudu Peak, and a deacon income unknown to outsiders at the Chamber of Commerce.

At dusk, Zhou Liqin and Qian Zifeng suddenly had a surprise. The palace maids came to summon them and the Palace Master summoned them.

The two monks guarding the mountain gate were honored to enter the important place of the harem, and accompanied the Palace Master on the viewing platform to share fine wine and delicious food. After the matter was over, the Palace Master rewarded each of them with 100 low-grade wish beads. The Palace Master was in high spirits, and invited the two to play chess after the table was cleared. However, the Palace Master was furious because he did not know the inside story. Fortunately, the two aunts secretly sent messages to guide them, and they were able to turn the danger into safety. However, they also understood the truth that accompanying the emperor is like accompanying a tiger. The two did not dare to stay too long and left in time.

Palace Master Miao was not satisfied, and thinking that the Palace Master Qin, who could make him play chess the most, was there, he ordered someone to summon him. In order to avoid suspicion, he also ordered him to bring Hongmian and Luliu to accompany him. Qin Weiwei happily accepted the order and came.

The sun set, the night was full of stars, and the lights were on on the observation deck. Palace Master Miao and Palace Master Qin kept talking. Palace Master Qin's white clothes were like snow, and his slender hands were like jade under the lights. It was pleasing to the eye, and he especially praised his chess skills as "superb". As expected, he won the Palace Master's heart and played very enjoyably. When the party ended late at night, Palace Master Miao, who was still not satisfied, made an appointment with Palace Master Qin for the next meeting. Palace Master Qin did not refuse and agreed without hesitation, leaving the palace happily.

The next day, before the annual payment, the backbones of the two palaces gathered in the meeting hall that had been cleaned by a group of palace maids. Miao Yi sat on the top, and Qian'er and Xue'er stood on the left and right.

On the left and right of the steps below, the two general managers Yang Qing and Yan Xiu stood side by side facing each other, and could look up at the Palace Master and down at the people. Eighteen walkers and twenty Palace Masters stood in the court, reporting the situation in their respective territories one by one.

All matters had been handled properly by Yang Qing, so Miao Yi did not need to worry about anything, just going through the necessary formalities.

After the court was dismissed, Miao Yi led Ximen Yan and Jian Sanniang away and rushed to the Muxing Palace to pay the annual payment.

When he arrived at the Muxing Palace, he met Palace Master Cheng Aofang. After the annual payment was settled, it was necessary to accompany the Palace Master for a chat. When he met the two Palace Masters again, the attitudes of the Palace Masters were completely different, and they were very respectful. When the meeting was held in the meeting hall, Boyan, Shang Liuhuan and Zhuang Youwen politely pushed him to the first place. It is true that the status of Miao Palace Master is no longer comparable to the past. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novels are better and updated faster!
