This question is straightforward.
Zhou Qi did not hesitate. "I helped Yao Qing because he promised to give me Cultivation Method."
Yao Jingyi raised his eyebrows slightly.
He obviously heard the subtext of this sentence.
"I don't belong to anyone, it's just a fair exchange."
Today's Zhou Qi, Foundation Establishment, Sixth Layer Peak.
Already has the strength to challenge Yao Family.
"Then I will directly give you Cultivation Method and more resources," Yao Jingyi leaned forward, "How about you help me?"
After Yao Jingyi finished speaking, he paused and added, "I'm not a subordinate, I'm the elder Ke Qing."
Zhou Qi looked at him with calm eyes. "I promise Yao Qing first."
The study was quiet for a moment.
Yao Jingyi stared at him for a few seconds. There was scrutiny and surprise in his eyes.
"Haha..." He chuckled, no longer the polite and tentative smile before.
He leaned back in the chair and tapped his fingers on the armrest twice more, this time the rhythm was obviously brisker.
"Interesting," he said.
He stood up, walked to the bookshelf, and took down a thin book from the top.
The cover of the album is dark blue, with no writing on it, and the corners are slightly worn, so it has obviously been read many times.
He did not hand it over immediately, but stood in front of the desk and looked at Zhou Qi: "Cultivation Method can be given to you, but I have a condition."
Zhou Qi is waiting to continue.
Yao Jingyi put the booklet on the table and pressed his finger on the cover. "Champion Marquis is going to be reversed."
Zhou Qi frowned, he had guessed it, but at this time, Yao Jingyi, Chancellery Secretariat, said it in person, which had a greater impact.
Yao Jingyi continued, "Yao Family needs manpower.
"You stay at the Yao Family and help Yao Qing with things, but if Yao Family is in trouble, you have to help."
When he said the word "Yao Family", his tone left no room for negotiation.
Zhou Qi was silent for a while.
Then he asked a question that Yao Jingyi did not expect, "Where is Golden Core Cultivation Manual? Does Yao Family have it?"
Yao Jingyi's fingers paused.
He looked at Zhou Qi and his eyes changed.
It seemed that he did not expect that the young man in front of him would be more ambitious than he thought.
"Golden Core Cultivation Manual Only the royal family has it." Yao Jingyi shook his head, "It is not allowed to be spread among the people. If people outside the royal family want it, there is only one way."
He paused and lowered his voice a bit. "Ascension Selection Grand Ceremony."
Zhou Qi said nothing, waiting for him to continue.
Yao Jingyi walked back to the wall and pointed to a location on the territory map.
It was north of Yongjing City, marked with the shape of a mountain, and three small characters written next to it: Primordial Mountain.
"Once every five years, the entire Great Yong Dynasty selects ten people to participate in the selection ceremony of the Primordial Immortal Sect. The condition is that Foundation Establishment Realm is under forty years old." He turned around and looked at Zhou Qi. "The ten people selected will be given Golden Core Cultivation Manual by the royal family as a reward."
He paused, his gaze resting on Zhou Qi's face for a moment. "You are twenty-two this year, and you still have eighteen years to prepare."
After Zhou Qi listened, he did not answer Golden Core Cultivation Manual's words, and his eyes fell back to the dark blue booklet on the table.
"I promise you what you said," Zhou Qi looked directly into Yao Jingyi's eyes and said.
Yao Jingyi also looked at him, with some admiration on his face. He pushed the booklet over and said, "Take it and help me look at it more Yao Qing. His heart is not cruel enough, and his methods are not strong enough. I can rest assured that a master like you is by his side."
Zhou Qi took the booklet, stood up, and clasped his fists. "Thank you, Mr. Yao."
Zhou Qi walked out of Yao Jingyi's study.
He lowered his head and glanced at the booklet in his hand. There was still no writing on the cover, but when he opened the first page, System Panel popped out.
[New Cultivation Method detected: <Foundation Establishment Method·Part 2>]
[Proficiency: 0/200000]
[Practice to perfection and you can break through to Foundation Establishment, Ninth Layer Peak]
He closed the book, put it in his arms, and strode out of the door.
It has been nearly a year since time traveled.
He was being chased all the way, but now with Cultivation Method in hand, he finally had the strength to protect himself.
Foundation Establishment, Ninth Layer Peak is already the top combat power of this dynasty.
Outside the courtyard gate, Yao Qing was leaning against the wall. When he saw him coming out, he immediately straightened up and glanced at the booklet in his hand.
"Got it?"
Zhou Qi nodded.
Yao Qing opened his mouth, wanting to ask something, but in the end he just nodded.
The two of them walked side by side in the corridor, neither of them speaking.
After walking more than a dozen steps, Yao Qing suddenly said, "Did father... ask you to do something for him?"
Zhou Qi didn't hide anything. "Yes."
Yao Qing paused for a moment, but did not stop.
"What did you say?"
"I said I promised you first."
Yao Qing didn't speak anymore, but his steps were obviously lighter than when he came.
Return to Yao Qing's Separate Courtyard.
Zhou Qi gave the two of them a brief summary of the discussion between Yao Jingyi.
After he finished speaking, the room fell into silence for a while.
After a while, Yao Qing stood up, raised his hands to adjust his clothes, looked solemn, clasped his fists at Zhou Qi, then slowly bent over, and bowed solemnly and deeply.
"Yao Qing Thank you Mr. Zhou for your help!"
Zhou Qi wanted to refuse, but after thinking about it, he accepted it.
Strength is respected in the spiritual world.
Whether it is his current Foundation Establishment, Sixth Layer Peak or the Foundation Establishment, Ninth Layer he will reach soon, they are all worthy of Yao Qing's worship.
And Zhou Qi agreed to assist Yao Qing.
His strength alone is comparable to Yao Ke's decades of accumulation.
Yang Zhenshan stood aside and looked at the two of them, with a trace of desire for strength in his eyes.
At this time, there was a knock on the door of the other courtyard.
Yang Zhenshan walked to the door and the butler who knocked on the door was Uncle Yun, Yao Jingyi.
Upon seeing this, Yang Zhenshan led Uncle Yun to the lobby.
"Mr. Zhou." Uncle Yun walked into the hall and said to Zhou Qi, "The master asked this slave to pass a message."
Uncle Yun bowed slightly, with a just right smile on his face:
"The master was afraid that Mr. Zhou would be neglected if he lived in the other courtyard of Young Master Qing, so he had someone tidy up a courtyard nearby. It is now ready. Mr. Zhou, would you like to move there?"
Zhou Qi glanced at him.
Yao Jingyi moves very quickly.
He nodded. "Thank you Mr. Yao for me."
The steward agreed with a smile, told the location of the courtyard, and then left, leaving only a waiting boy at the door.
Zhou Qi glanced at the two people standing aside.
He stayed at Yao Qing for a few days, but he always felt that something was wrong.
It's not that the food and accommodation are not good, it's that every time he bumps into Yao Qing walking towards Yang Zhenshan's house, he feels uncomfortable all over.
He knew very well what happened to Yang Zhenshan and Yao Qing.
He has no control over other people's affairs, but it's really not appropriate for him to be caught in the middle.
Yao Jingyi This arrangement is just right.
Zhou Qi turned back to the house and tidied up briefly.
There are not many things, just a few changes of clothes and a few books of Cultivation Method and Cold-Iron Saber, hung around my waist, and everything is ready.
Zhou Qi walked to the hall and told the two of them to go to the other courtyard to find him at any time if anything happened.
After saying that, he followed the boy waiting at the door and left.
The other courtyard is on the east side of Yao Residence and is much larger than the one at Yao Qing.
The yard is clean and tidy, with blue bricks on the floor, a few bamboo poles planted in the corners, and a practice ground paved with bluestones in the yard.
Two young men stood at the door and bowed when they saw him coming in.
Zhou Qi glanced at them and didn't say much. He just said, "Don't go into the hospital if you have nothing to do."
Then he opened the door and entered the main room.
There was plenty of light in the room, a large bed, a desk, a few chairs, and the walls were empty without any arty things hanging on them.
Zhou Qi threw the bundle on the bed, sat on the edge of the bed, and took out the book "Foundation Establishment Method·Part Two" from his arms.
The dark blue cover has frayed corners and has been turned over countless times.
He turned to the first page.
System Panel pop--
[New Cultivation Method detected: <Foundation Establishment Method·Part 2>]
[Proficiency: 0/200000]
[Practice to perfection and you can break through to Foundation Establishment, Ninth Layer Peak]
[A usable proficiency balance has been detected. Do you want to use it?]
[Proficiency Balance: 164728]
There is still more than thirty-five thousand left.
Zhou Qi Close the booklet, close your eyes, and take a deep breath.
Liver.
In the next month, Zhou Qi hardly left the door.
Get up at 9 o'clock every day, sit cross-legged on the bed, and run Cultivation Method.
To the outside world, they call it a retreat, and at the same time, they tell Yao Qing to come back if there is something important and not to disturb her at ordinary times.
Every day the boy would put the food at the door, knock on the door twice, turn around and leave.
I meditated until midnight, then fell asleep.
Life is like a monk ringing a bell, day by day, there is no difference.
