Chapter 196: Nine-Story Building

There are also many factions within the Li family, especially the princes who are independent of the Taoist sect, each with their own troops.

There are few men under Li Tianyue's command, and most of them are women.

It's not that Li Tianyue has any prejudice against men, but the Li family recognizes the royal family of Daqi as their ancestor. Li Tianyue admires Princess Pingyang the most. According to historical records, when Emperor Gaozu of Daqi started the rebellion, the third daughter Princess Pingyang scattered her family wealth, recruited fugitives from the mountains, and raised troops to respond to Emperor Gaozu. The camp was called "Women's Army".

In addition, there was a little Yanshi in the Golden Horde at that time. She was beautiful, smart, good at singing and dancing, superb martial arts, familiar with military strategies, and knew about power. She assisted the Khan in governing the country and successfully eliminated the years of war between the Central Plains and the Golden Horde and realized border trade. She often brought a group of female soldiers with her when she traveled, and people at that time called them "Women's Army".

Although Li Tianyue was frustrated and could neither fight on the battlefield nor serve in the government, she followed the ancients' example and valued women because of her ambitions and feelings when she was young. She formed a "women's army" that only obeyed her.

Princess Pingyang's "women's army" was called "women's army" only because the commander was a woman. The "women's army" formed by Li Tianyue was more similar to Xiao Yanshi's "women's army", from the commander to the soldiers were women.

Because of this, the guards of Wutong Courtyard here were not men, but women, so that they could disguise themselves as courtesans and various maids, making it difficult for people to distinguish them.

These women were adopted by Li Tianyue since childhood, and then taught according to their aptitude. For example, Li Qingnu, a beauty, invited famous teachers to teach her piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, singing and dancing to serve people. The realm cultivation was just a bonus. In addition to keeping her youth, it was really to strengthen her body. People with average looks practiced qigong and martial arts and became a member of Li Tianyue's "women's army".

As for Li Qingnu, at first, Li Tianyue just thought that she was a rare treasure and didn't want to give her away easily. He always wanted to keep her for a while. As time went by, he developed some feelings for her and couldn't bear to give her away.

Li Tianyue never married and had no children, so she regarded Li Qingnu as half a daughter. Moreover, she considered that she was old and had to find a suitable candidate to inherit her position, so Li Qingnu became the adopted daughter of the Li family. However, because Li Tianyue had not made the final decision, Li Qingnu was only an unnamed adopted daughter.

When Li Qingnu officially became the adopted daughter of the Li family, it would be very different. At least Lu Yunfeng would not dare to openly threaten Li Qingnu anymore, because being named meant being included in the family tree. If Lu Yunfeng said anything about spending a night with him, it would be a slap in the face of the Li family. There were people in the Li family who dared to hit them, but Lu Yunfeng was definitely not one of them.

As for the conflict between Li Tianzhen and Zhang Yuelu, in addition to the fact that the Li and Zhang families have equal status, the key is that Li Tianzhen took the initiative to provoke trouble. In the case of "equal status", it is still necessary to reason. If you are not right, you are not right.

At this time, there were two women dressed as maids guarding outside Li Qingnu's boudoir.

"The old master is not here, but she pretends to be the master, holding a martial arts meeting, making friends with people from the underworld, and ordering us around." A maid with a hanging bun entangled her black hair with her fingers and complained.

"A Ling, just say less." Another maid looked at her, "In the past, there was only 'Master', and there was never any 'Old Master'. Now that there is an Old Master, there is naturally a Young Master. You yourself keep calling her 'Old Master', and the matter has long been obvious."

A Ling sighed: "Xiao Hong, I know, of course I know. But I just can't accept it. Why does she do that? Is it because she looks good?"

"Enough." Xiao Hong said coldly, "Stop talking here. What do you mean by just because she looks good? If you have the courage, tell the young lady in person. Or, wait for the old master to come back, and then you go and tell the old master."

A Ling stopped talking immediately.

Xiaohong slowed down her tone: "There are beauties every year, but how many of them can be famous in the capital? Some people are born as exiled immortals, some are born as superior people, and some are born as the most beautiful women in the country. This is their biggest reliance. You can't envy them, nor can you force them. We just need to do our own duty."

A Ling felt very upset, but what Xiaohong said was both emotional and reasonable, and she couldn't refute it. She could only sit there and sulk, but she couldn't hold it back for a while, and then said: "Xiaohong, what do you think is the relationship between these two people?"

"Who?" Xiaohong asked knowingly.

A Ling pointed to the boudoir behind her: "Of course it's the one inside."

Xiao Hong still pretended to be stupid: "Didn't I say it, we are sworn brothers and sisters."

"Come on, I don't believe it." A Ling sneered, "If you ask me, lovers are more like it. If they were not lovers, would they fight so hard? Even at the cost of offending Lu Yunfeng? By the way, do you think the old master knows about this?"

Xiao Hong said lightly: "What does the old master not know? The young lady dared to hold a martial arts meeting and entertain guests in such a high-profile manner, as if she wanted to hide it from the old master?"

A Ling originally wanted to discuss telling the old master about this, but after hearing this, she could only smile awkwardly.

Yes, with such a big commotion, why would she need to tell the old master? It would be strange if the old master didn't know.

While the two were talking, Qi Xuansu had already woken up from the delusion.

He absorbed 90% of the medicinal power of a "blood pill".

The return to the truth stage is the last stage of the innate human being and also the last threshold to the heavenly human being. This results in a huge span of this stage. The gap between the initial entry into the return to the truth stage and the end of the return to the truth is so big that it is like two different realms.

In this regard, the return to the true nature stage of the innate people is very similar to the creation stage of the heavenly people.

The creation stage is the last stage of the heavenly people and the last threshold to the immortals. There is no essential difference between the initial entry into creation and the end of creation, only the difference in the depth of cultivation. The span is so large that it even derives a whole new realm - the best in the creation stage of the heavenly people are honored as "pseudo-immortals", which means false immortals. Although it is slightly derogatory, they are not mortals after all. They have the hope of longevity and are about to attain enlightenment.

Although the return to the true nature stage does not derive a whole new realm like the creation stage, it is divided into nine small stages, called the Nine-Layered Building.

These small stages have no difference in magical powers or supernatural powers, but only indicate the depth of cultivation.

In other words, the magical powers of the Return to the True Nine-Layered Building can also be found in the Return to the True One-Layered Building, and the supernatural powers of the Return to the True Nine-Layered Building can also be found in the Return to the True One-Layered Building. The difference is only in the depth of cultivation.

Li Changge, Yao Pei, Zhang Yuelu and others are all in the ninth floor of the Return to the True Realm stage, and are only one step away from becoming a celestial being. In fact, the ninth floor is a very delicate stage. It is the highest in the entire Return to the True Realm stage, but it is also the shortest. Anyone who enters this stage, except for a few individuals, will successfully enter the celestial being in a few months at the fastest and one or two years at the slowest. Zhang Yuelu was entangled in various mundane affairs, which distracted a lot of energy, and was considered to be relatively slow.

Xie Qiuniang and others, although not in the ninth floor, also have the eighth floor. Most of Lu Yunfeng's followers are in the first and second floors, among which Lu Long has the highest cultivation level, about the third floor.

As for Qi Xuansu, the situation is very complicated. Just talking about his casual cultivation level, it is very common, that is, between the first and second floors of Return to the True Realm. But if we count the incomplete alchemist and warrior inheritance, Qi Xuansu is the leader of the three major inheritances, and he is also a battle-hardened person, which allows him to often exert a combat power comparable to the sixth floor of Return to the True Realm, or even the seventh floor of Return to the True Realm.

However, there is also a huge drawback. Probably because of the lack of the inheritance of witches and alchemists, the inheritance of warriors and alchemists has never been integrated with the inheritance of scattered people, and Qi Xuansu has not become a real exiled immortal. More importantly, the cultivation of these warriors and alchemists cannot be improved through conventional means such as practice or taking elixirs, but can only be improved through "Xuanyu", which is very fatal.

"Xuanyu" is of course a good thing. It can not only improve these inheritances obtained through "Xuanyu", but also improve Qi Xuansu's own realm and cultivation. This is the key to Qi Xuansu's entry into the Jade Ding Realm and the Holy Embryo Realm, but "Xuanyu" is too precious, and it cannot be completely pinned on "Xuanyu".

If Qi Xuansu wants to be promoted to a celestial being, he still has to rely on the inheritance of his own scattered people. Only this part can be improved normally.

That is, the scattered people's holy fetus realm of the first floor of Guizhen.

However, the effect of the "blood pill" was beyond Qi Xuansu's expectation. It allowed him to jump five small stages, from the first floor to the sixth floor. Taking into account the inheritance of the warrior and the alchemist, and facing Zhang Yuelu, the two of them went all out. They dared not say that they would win the attack, but it should not be a problem to deal with them.

After his cultivation increased greatly, Qi Xuansu's six senses became more and more sharp. He heard the conversation between the two people outside clearly. Besides being amused, he also understood Li Qingnu's situation to some extent. No wonder she wanted to join the Qingping Society.
