"Passed away?"
"Indeed."
Chen Liancang said, "After Zhao Suzhen returned to the Capital City, he intended to seek an audience with Your Majesty, but unfortunately, you were in seclusion and I, the old servant, had to stop him."
"Zhao Suzhen waited for three days, and seeing his anxious state, I inquired about it."
"According to Zhao Suzhen, the lifespan of Elder Zhao Xizheng was already on the brink of exhaustion long ago, and he sought the Purple Spirit Ginseng to refine an elixir to extend his lifespan."
"Unfortunately, the refinent of the Purple Spirit Ginseng into an elixir seed to have failed, putting Elder Zhao Xizheng in further danger."
"After Zhao Suzhen advanced to the Foundation Establishnt Stage, he realized that Elder Zhao Xizheng had little ti left, and thus personally ventured to the Overseas Cultivation Realm to seek a longevity-enhancing dicine."
Chen Liancang sighed deeply and said, "Elder Zhao Xizheng was strongly against Suling venturing to the Overseas Cultivation Realm and even personally went down the mountain to search, but unfortunately, he couldn't dissuade Zhao Suzhen, who had to return to the mountain reluctantly."
"According to Elder Zhao Xizheng, the journey to the Overseas Cultivation Realm is distant, perilous, and full of treacherous hearts and hidden dangers. Zhao Suzhen has a simple temperant, and if he travels alone, he's likely to encounter problems."
"Fortunately, Zhao Suzhen is a Foundation Establishnt Cultivator, and as long as he doesn't end up in a deadly crisis, escaping should not be a problem."
"The Overseas Cultivation Realm..."
Zheng Yi murmured, having long wanted to send soone to scout the Overseas Cultivation Realm.
The construction of Yuelong Palace was intended to nurture young and loyal cultivators."
Unexpectedly, Zhao Suzhen was the first to go.
Nevertheless, it was fortunate that Zhao Suzhen is already a Foundation Establishnt Cultivator, albeit at the initial stage, but he can still crush all Qi Cultivation Stage cultivators.
As Chen Liancang said, as long as he doesn't fall into certain Secret Realms or Arrays, leaving should be quite easy.
Zheng Yi nodded and said, "I am aware of this matter and will choose a day to visit Taizhong Mountain to see the Elder Celestial Master."
"Also, set Shadow Guard and navy at the coastal ports to monitor the sea surface constantly, to preemptively respond to Zhao Suzhen and any arrivals from overseas."
"Certainly!"
"How is Yuelong Palace progressing?"
Before seclusion, Zheng Yi had specifically instructed several cultivators under his command to focus on Yuelong Palace, to train young cultivators.
Not only young cultivators collected from the populace, but also any Royal Family descendants with Spirit Roots would go to Yuelong Palace for cultivation.
He had too few cultivators under his na.
According to Zheng Yi's plan, in the Great Yu Thirteen States, over two hundred counties, and more than three thousand prefectures, each county, and even each prefecture should have cultivators stationed.
Only in that way could he control the entire Great Yu and consider it his own possession.
Thus, all cultivation resources within the Great Yu would be prioritized for him alone.
The benefits of millions of people would be used to support his cultivation, which is Zheng Yi's ultimate goal.
Each state should have at least thirty cultivators stationed.
Each county should have at least ten cultivators stationed.
Each prefecture should also require at least two.
This way, at least tens of thousands of loyal cultivators would be needed to achieve this.
But now, even counting the Consorts in the harem, there are only over thirty people, a far cry from enough.
However, Zheng Yi knew this matter could not be rushed.
Only by using these thirty-plus cultivators as a foundation and slowly developing, would the number of cultivators gradually increase, eventually reaching Zheng Yi's expectations.
Yet Zheng Yi held onto so hope, the Reincarnation Nine-child Fruit!
The Essence Blood set last ti had long been exhausted, and it needs to be replenished this ti.
The upcoming selection of Concubine Candidates is also in preparation for the Blood Sacrifice Reincarnation Nine-child Fruit.
Chen Liancang said respectfully, "Your Majesty, the cultivation speed of those at Yuelong Palace is relatively stable, among them, Xu Fengxiong and the eldest princess are the fastest."
"Xu Fengxiong, as a Celestial Spirit Root cultivator, has already advanced to the late-stage Qi Cultivation, progressing rapidly, and is currently consolidating his foundation."
"He is an extraordinary talent, with Daoist Master Tianxingzi and Elder Xiong Gang both having great affection for him, almost teaching him everything they know."
"Even the Imperial Noble Consort has visited once, imparting her experience as a Celestial Spirit Root Cultivator."
"Other disciples also cultivate diligently, almost without rest."
"Hmm, good."
Zheng Yi nodded slowly and said, "By the way, one more thing, the disciples of Yuelong Palace have different Spirit Root qualifications, besides cultivation, see if anyone has a talent in the Hundred Skills of Cultivation."
"I will bestow a batch of Hundred Skills of Cultivation collections and cultivation techniques for the disciples to choose."
"Yes... Your Majesty!"
In the battle of Spiritless Island, among the dozens of storage bags Zheng Yi collected, several jade scrolls recorded Alchemy, Artifact Refining, Arrays, Puppetry, and other Hundred Skills of Cultivation.
The most famous among them is the "Green Grain Pill Technique."
It is the lifelong study of an alchemist nad Qing Hezi at the Golden Core Stage, which records his life's work in alchemy thods and various precautions.
Most importantly, it contains thirty-six Tier One pill recipes and eleven Tier Two pill recipes.
Among them is the Foundation Establishnt Pill recipe!
"Your Majesty, there is also one more matter."
"What is it?"
"The Imperial Noble Consort's family is here to visit, how should we arrange it?"
"Family? Who are they?"
"The Imperial Noble Consort's aunt, nad Tuoba Wugou, and the Imperial Noble Consort's niece, nad Tuoba Lingyun."
Zheng Yi asked, "What about the Tuoba Clan?"
"The Tuoba Clan... Still in Yunng Marsh, has not left."
"Hmph! I ordered them to move the entire clan to Celestial Longevity Mountain, and yet they have delayed till now. It seems they're still resistant."
