Three days passed quickly.
For the past three days, Ling Yi has stayed in the wooden house to cultivate and hasn't gone anywhere else.
He practices martial arts during the day and immortal arts at night.
With the accumulation of vast resources, Ling Yi's cultivation level increased like Rocket.
In just three days, he had already reached the Qi Refining, Great Perfection and was about to Foundation Establishment.
Furthermore, the Immortal Dao can enhance Martial Dao cultivation, with Spiritual Power cleansing and strengthening the physical body, as well as the meridians Dantian.
In addition, the many elixirs found on the first floor of the Treasure Tower are also highly beneficial to Martial Dao cultivation.
Ling Yi's Martial Dao cultivation and Body Tempering Realm are also rapidly improving.
In just three days, Ling Yi's cultivation level had reached: Body Tempering Eighth Layer / Innate First Pin / Qi Refining Twelfth Layer Great Perfection.
Especially at the Body Tempering Eighth Layer, one's physical body can withstand the attacks of Grandmaster.
As for the Dream System, Ling Yi only used it on the first day and then never used it again.
It's not that the Dream System is bad, it's just that Ling Yi got carried away with his cultivation.
They often overlook the fact that they have a Dream System that allows them to Plunder attributes and cultivation levels by Dream Entry.
Cultivation can truly be addictive.
The feeling of Spiritual Power and Internal Energy circulating, and the power constantly increasing, is truly captivating.
That morning, Ling Yi was cultivating when he suddenly opened his eyes.
Then, he gathered his immense Internal Energy and looked towards the doorway.
"Strange, why is this woman here?" Ling Yi wondered.
"Knock knock knock."
There was a knock on the door.
Ling Yi got up and opened the door. Standing in front of the door was Lü Yuan, whom he hadn't seen for several days.
"Greetings, Miss Lü Yuan Duck." Ling Yi clasped his hands in greeting.
Lü Yuan Duck stepped into the wooden house.
I looked around the cabin. Although it was simple, it wasn't dirty or messy. The bedding was old, but clean and tidy, and there was no unpleasant smell as I had expected.
On the contrary, the cabin had a very comfortable Aura.
Ling Yi glanced at the entry above Lü Yuan's head.
[ Lin Qingyuan, Eighth Pin Innate, Talent: Photographic Memory (Currently on Cooldown)]
This woman actually cultivated to the Innate Realm in just a few days. It seems she has had quite a few good opportunities during this time!
Compared to when I first met Lü Yuan a few days ago, Lü Yuan now exudes an air of authority.
Her figure has also become a bit fuller.
"I haven't yet congratulated Miss Lü Yuan on winning the title of Flower Queen. May I ask what business Miss Lü Yuan has with me?" Ling Yi asked.
Lü Yuan Duck sat on the bed, leaning slightly to look at Ling Yi, and said, "Tonight, I'm going to the palace to perform at the Empress's birthday banquet."
Empress's birthday banquet?
Empress, isn't that Qin Ru?
He almost forgot that the Second Prince was planning to cause trouble at the Empress's birthday banquet tonight.
These past few days, Ling Yi has stayed in the wooden house and hasn't gone out except to eat.
However, Qianxue and Wei Xu's Shadow Puppet had to come and report once a day.
They were familiar with the situation of the second prince, the third princess, and the other princes.
The deposed crown prince continued to laze around every day, occasionally leaving the palace for leisure, and even visiting the Bureau of Entertainment a few times.
He had the air of a spoiled brat.
But in reality, they were already secretly cultivating their own power.
Furthermore, they are researching thermal weapons.
Gunpowder has now been developed, along with simple firearms and homemade mines.
However, muskets could only fire single shots, and reloading was very troublesome.
Earth mines are only moderately powerful.
Even Martial Practitioner of Innate martial arts might not be able to injure him.
In Ling Yi's view, this was putting the cart before the horse.
In this world where martial Martial Dao Immortal Dao immortality exist, the power of firearms isn't really that great.
It would be better to honestly utilize his Dream System to improve his strength.
The other princes, except for the sixth prince who was half-dead.
None of them were idle; they were all secretly accumulating strength, constantly engaging in open and covert struggles.
The one making the biggest commotion is the Second Prince, who has already mobilized all his forces in secret.
They're planning to cause trouble at the Empress's birthday banquet tonight.
They had a do-or-die attitude.
The palace must be very lively tonight.
"Do you still have those poems and musical scores from before?" Lü Yuan revealed her purpose.
"Things are different now, so the price needs to be raised!" Ling Yi said, feigning greed.
"That's good, price is not an issue."
Ling Yi held up two fingers. "Twenty thousand taels."
"Yes!" Lü Yuan didn't hesitate at all.
He then took out two silver notes and handed them to Ling Yi.
Ling Yi sighed, "Becoming the top courtesan really makes a difference."
They just took 20,000 taels of silver without a second thought.
Although for Ling Yi now, 20,000 taels of silver is no longer a big deal.
He did this on purpose, to give Lü Yuan the impression that he was greedy for money.
Twenty thousand taels of silver is definitely not a small sum.
"Isn't Miss Lü Yuan Duck going to try and bargain?" Ling Yi asked in surprise.
"Someone told me that if I encounter any trouble, I can ask you for help," said Lü Yuan Duck.
It seems the Third Princess must have said something to Lü Yuan.
Ling Yi didn't take it to heart.
"Miss Lü Yuan, please wait a moment."
Ling Yi took out paper and pen from a cabinet in the corner.
After a brief hesitation, I wrote a poem titled "When Will the When Will the Bright Moon Appear When Will the Bright Moon Appear?" and its musical score.
"This musical score is best suited for singing this poem."
Ling Yi handed the two pages of paper to Lü Yuan.
After Lü Yuan finished reading, her eyes lit up.
She stood up and bowed gracefully to Ling Yi: "Thank you."
Lü Yuan knew very well that the value of this poem and its corresponding musical score was far beyond what a mere 20,000 taels of silver could compare to.
Even 100,000 taels or a million taels would not be enough to measure its value.
This poem and this melody, once composed, will surely become timeless masterpieces.
She will undoubtedly shine brightly at tonight's birthday banquet because of this.
The value and significance behind this are simply immeasurable.
"You're welcome. Let's each take what we need."
"Young master, you are too kind. It was Lü Yuan who benefited. Lü Yuan will remember this favor. If you ever need anything in the future, you may come to me at any time."
"Okay!" Ling Yi nodded.
"Then I won't disturb you any longer." Lü Yuan Lü Yuan was eager to get back to her practice, so she Haste took her leave.
After seeing off Lü Yuan, Ling Yi was about to continue his cultivation when Qin Changming arrived.
Compared to a few days ago, Qin Changming looks much better now.
In the past few days, Qin Changming has taken a lot of various tonics.
Several ginseng roots, some over a hundred years old, were used.
Given that Qin Changming was originally Innate Martial Practitioner, it's not surprising that he was able to recover.
"Brother Qin, you're here?" Ling Yi greeted him happily.
"How's your cultivation going?" Qin Changming asked, looking Ling Yi up and down.
Because the Hidden Asgard has the effect of concealing one's cultivation level.
Therefore, Qin Changming had no way of discerning Ling Yi's current cultivation level.
But Qin Changming could sense that Ling Yi had achieved something.
"He's rather dull-witted, barely passable," Ling Yi said with a wry smile.
"That's already quite good; you've only just begun cultivating."
He paused for a moment and then said, " Ling Yi, there is a mission for you tonight. If you succeed, from now on, you and I, brothers, will enjoy a lifetime of wealth and honor."
"But if we lose, we will die."
"Brother Qin, please speak freely."
Ling Yi clasped his hands in a fist salute, his expression extremely serious, and said, "My life was saved by Brother Qin. If Brother Qin gives the order, he can take this life at any time."
Hearing Ling Yi's words, Qin Changming nodded with great satisfaction.
"I will arrange for you to enter the palace Aether later."
"Wait for an opportunity to Thrusting Emperor Wu, Wu Canglan." As Qin Changming said this, his eyes were fixed on Ling Yi.
Ling Yi was taken aback for a moment.
This wasn't an act; he was genuinely shocked.
The Thrusting Emperor Wu wasn't what shocked Ling Yi Ling Yi; what shocked him was why he had been chosen.
However, after a little thought, Ling Yi had a rough guess.
He was just a Bureau of Entertainment, with a simple background—an orphan with few connections.
Whether it succeeds or fails, it's just a pawn that can be discarded at any time.
Ling Yi sneered inwardly, thinking, "Who's the pawn is still up in the air!"
