Chapter 453: Recasting the Jiuzhou Cauldron, the legendary spirit comes (asking for monthly tickets)
In the Jiuzhou Cauldron, the aura was flowing and roaring, as heavy as gold. No one knew when the jade liquid had gathered to perfection, and then gushed out.

In the past, Li Guanyi absorbed the power of this jade liquid and refined it into himself in order to make a breakthrough in his cultivation and realm.

In the past, the jade liquid was as clear as bright light, and seemed like a treasure from heaven and earth.

The changes this time are different from the past. The jade liquid is no longer clear after absorbing a powerful existence, but rather vast. The charm of the cauldron is no longer that of an emperor's majesty, but instead has a sense of heaviness, grandeur, and vastness.

Just like the stars and the mountains and rivers, it can be predicted that if one absorbs this majestic momentum at this moment, this charm, this charm surging from countless lives in this vast territory, will be completely swallowed into one's own body.

It is enough to take another step forward!
Not long after reaching the peak of the Ninth Heaven, you can take another big step forward!

He can even match other grand masters' sixty years of hard practice on the road to reaching the peak of the Ninth Heaven.

But at this moment, Li Guanyi did not lower his eyes to look inward, nor did he try to subjectively control and guide the changes of the Jiuzhou Ding according to his own will.

Just look straight ahead, just watch quietly.

It just let the Jiuzhou Ding change naturally as the vast and majestic fortune flowed, and the divine light that soared into the sky then fell down with a bang.

In the vast territory, there were millions of armored soldiers and many cities. The voices of countless people chanting together seemed to have turned into a raging flame. The flame of humanity and destiny gathered around the Jiuzhou Ding.

In the past, it was Li Guanyi who got feedback from the Jiuzhou Ding, but this time, it was the Jiuzhou Ding that got the opportunity for transformation from him and from his actions.

The Jiuzhou Ding, which originally had a dim glow and looked ancient and mottled after experiencing too many years, gradually transformed in this process.

The vast spirit that far exceeds that of emperors and generals has been injected with new possibilities.

The world is like a furnace.

My heart is on fire.

Make a fresh start!

Now, recast the Jiuzhou Ding!
boom! ! !
On the Jiuzhou Cauldron, the divine light flowed and changed, becoming more and more magnificent. Since that distant legend, someone finally came to refine the Jiuzhou Cauldron again.

The king, dressed in black clothes and with his hair tied up with a jade hairpin, put down the wine bowl.

This time, the ceremony of crowning the king ended in a way that inspired everyone. The morale of the Qilin Army, which had been agitated by the consecutive victories, was soothed. The painstakingly planned plan of the envoys from the States of Chen and Ying, who wanted to corrupt the King of Qin in the same way they had corrupted many heroes in the past, was completely cut off in the most decisive and domineering way.

How can a hero in the world be trapped in that way?
Changfeng Tower spread everything that happened today throughout the world.

General Fan Qing expressed his great importance to this.

The power of public opinion and general trends is enormous.

If the Qilin Army does not control this kind of power itself, it will definitely be controlled by the State of Chen and the State of Ying, and then used against the Qilin Army itself.

Therefore, the world is so big, and in an instant, many public opinions arose. In the territory where the King of Qin was, the military and civilians were united, and naturally, they respected this matter very much. However, in the States of Chen and Ying, they tried their best to discredit the King of Qin and gradually shape his image into an image of a person who did not respect education, did not abide by etiquette, and acted arbitrarily to the extreme.

In fact, all the heroes in the world know how terrifying and magnanimous the King of Qin is.

But precisely because we know this, we should do so even more.

Nan Hanwen had this matter on his mind almost since the ceremony of enthroning the king was over. He immediately ran back to the place where the envoys of the State of Chen lived. Because he was too flustered, he accidentally tripped over the threshold. The hair crown on his head, which represented a scholar and a literati, was a little tilted, but he still staggered forward and delivered the news to the State of Chen with the highest standards and the fastest speed. At this time, he described it in a trembling manner in the secret letter he wrote to Chen Dingye.

[We must, we must control the image of the King of Qin among the people of the country]

[What he did and what he said cannot, should not, and must not be known by the people, at least not all of it.]

【otherwise……】

Nan Hanwen thought about what he had seen today, the grace and demeanor of the King of Qin. He was not the kind of person who would blend in with the world, nor was he the kind of person who would be liked by everyone.

Some people hate him, some people respect him.

The old and corrupt people in the world will hate the King of Qin as much as they hate the murderer of their father. But the young people in the world, or at least those who are still young at heart and still have passion in their hearts, when they hear these words and see this person, how can they not be excited and rush towards him like moths to a flame?
Nan Hanwen picked up the pen, dipped the tip of the pen in ink and pressed it against the paper. The black ink spread across the white paper. When he came to this point, Nan Hanwen couldn't write any more.

The words of the King of Qin echoed in my ears again.

It has been like this since ancient times, is it right?
Sir, don't you want to set a precedent for the world?
gentlemen……

Deng Deng Deng!
Nan Hanwen seemed to have pulled himself out of a nightmare. He took two steps back, gasping for breath, cold sweat oozing out of his forehead unconsciously. He felt nothing about these words when he first heard them, but later they became more and more powerful, especially what he saw today, the Qin King's enthronement ceremony, the three wishes and three arrows sacrificed to heaven and earth, and the words that he would let the old rites and rules die. The weight of those previous words became greater and greater, and brighter and brighter, almost crushing his past decades of life.

Nan Hanwen almost used up his last bit of sanity to make himself finish the letter and leave the last sentence.

[Otherwise, I don’t know how many elites and heroes in my country would betray their loyalty, become disloyal, disrespect the king’s laws, and even defect to the King of Qin!!!]

【Be careful, be careful!!!】

He finally wrote down this sentence and threw the pen away.

His deputy did not attend the ceremony of crowning the king today, but instead arranged for craftsmen to enter the 18 states of Jiangnan, intending to roll up their sleeves and build a sufficiently luxurious and magnificent "palace" to try to bring down the King of Qin. When he saw the contents of the letter and the words "turn to the King of Qin", he was shocked and hesitated for a long time, still unable to understand the deep meaning, so he respectfully asked Nan Hanwen:
"Sir, I recognize that the King of Qin is a man of great courage, but isn't it a bit too exaggerated to say that he can influence the young scholars in my country with just these things?"

Nan Hanwen sighed and said, "It's not an exaggeration."

The deputy was puzzled: "But how can you be so sure that it can have such a big effect?"

Nan Hanwen remained silent for a long time.

Because that's who I am.

The sigh in his heart, such words, naturally could not be spoken, so he just said: "Be careful and cautious, there is no big mistake."

"The King of Qin has won the hearts of the people with his benevolence. If he uses this ambition to win the hearts of the world's great talents, how will he fight in the future?"

Xiao Shaohui was silent, and said: "But if the King of Qin really has such a heroic spirit and courage, then will it really be useful for us to build a palace for him? Can it really corrupt the heroic spirit in his heart? I began to worry that he would just tempt us to use the gold, silver and craftsmen of Dachen to build a temporary palace for him, saying it is a temporary palace, but in fact he wants to use it for other things."

After all, Xiao Shaohui was an elite official who was sent out at a young age.

His mind was flexible and quick, and he finally came up with some guesses.

Nan Hanwen was no longer guessing, but was certain. How could a man who could show such courage at the ceremony of enthroning a king be so easily indulged in beauty and luxury? According to common sense, he should go back to Chen State now. Staying here would only waste gold and silver, time, and would also occupy the craftsmen from Chen State. However, Nan Hanwen pondered for a long time.

Perhaps it was the secret letter he wrote to Chen Dingye today that made this old minister of the State of Chen feel a little bit of apology towards the King of Qin.

Maybe he wanted to have another chat with the King of Qin.

Perhaps it was because, when he was in the State of Chen, the emperor only regarded him as a useful chess piece, whose majesty was solemn and unfathomable, and he never talked about the world and the future as frankly as the King of Qin.

Maybe, even with such old bones and such white hair.

I also want to see that vast dream.

Nan Hanwen remained silent for a long time, and finally went against his will and said:

"However, the world has just stopped fighting, and the nations are recuperating. We cannot defeat the King of Qin on the battlefield, but the situation is overwhelming, and we will definitely be hostile in the future. In this situation, even if we corrupt him with gold and silver, build a palace for him to indulge in luxury, the chances of success are slim, but we must always try."

He paused and said, "No matter how small the possibility is."

"It's definitely better than fighting the King of Qin on the battlefield, with millions of soldiers arrayed in battle array, and fighting him. Isn't it more likely to defeat him?"

Nan Hanwen successfully persuaded Xiao Shaohui.

Xiao Shaohui thought about it and praised: "The old man still thinks clearly!"

Nan Hanwen said, "Why not build the entire palace to the largest and most advanced level? In this way, the entire palace can accommodate 5,000 or even 8,000 people, and the extremely tall pavilion similar to the Star-Picking Tower will become the most luxurious and the most advanced in the entire Qin King's territory. In this way, how can the Qin King not live in it? Even if he doesn't like to enjoy luxury, he will live in it as a king after all."

"As long as he lives there, are you still worried that he won't enjoy the luxury?"

“Human desires are like rolling stones on a mountain. Once they start, it is hard to stop.”

"For example, the kings of ancient times had ivory chopsticks, so they had to have corresponding delicacies. With delicacies, they had to have better tableware. With such tableware and delicacies, how could they not have gorgeous clothes and spacious palaces? In this way, step by step, they would slide into the trajectory of decline."

Xiao Shaohui, an official from the Ministry of Industry, his eyes lit up when he heard this.

"Great, great, so great!"

"Master Nan, you are indeed a genius!"

Nan Hanwen had worked for Tan Tai Xian Ming for twenty years. Although he could not be considered his most trusted confidant and did not know the prime minister's actual connection with Ying State and his many methods, he was exposed to Tan Tai Xian Ming's actions in the prime minister's mansion. He remained calm when he spoke at this moment. It was not until Xiao Shaohui left that he realized what he had said.

Given the character displayed by the King of Qin, how could he care about moving into the most stylish mansion in the whole of Jiangnan?
He is not so narrow-minded!

Nan Hanwen closed his eyes and murmured, "I am still a loyal subject of Dachen. Yes, I am still a loyal subject of Dachen."

"I am not biased towards the King of Qin, no, not at all!"

"I will continue to stay here, just, just..."

"I just need to continue observing King Qin for a while."

"Also, I felt a little guilty about informing His Majesty Emperor Chen, so I wanted to give the King of Qin a little compensation."

"Just a little bit."

Nan Hanwen exhaled slowly, opened his eyes, and exuded a righteous aura!
Nan Hanwen.

I deceived myself again!
After the ceremony of enthroning the king was over, everyone was curious about where the Prince of Qin would go. But if you think about it carefully, he would probably go there like any ordinary king, with a big banquet, singing, dancing and music. But again, it was beyond everyone's understanding and imagination. Li Guanyi did not do anything to entertain officials and great scholars, nor did he indulge himself in luxury.

In the courtyard of Murong's house.

He was majestic and awe-inspiring, wearing a sword and shoes as he entered the palace. He did not bow when entering the court, and did not use his name to pay homage. He controlled all the troops in the world. He was the Grand Marshal of the Red Emperor, the General of Tiance, the Grand Commander of the Southwest Road, the leader of the Thirty-six Khans of the Western Regions, the Lord of Jiangnan, the Heavenly Khan. His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin was taken down directly, and a pair of white hands rubbed the Prince of Qin's cheeks, which was exactly the same as rubbing a domestic cat.

"Oh my, King Qin!"

"I have three regrets, three wishes that have not been fulfilled!" Murong Qiu Shui, dressed in light blue clothes, rubbed and squeezed the young King Qin's cheeks with both hands. The extraordinary King Qin had no power to fight back. The silver-haired girl next to him held a snack and chewed it in small sips.

Murong Qiushui pinched Li Guanyi's cheek and said, "Ah, I never expected that Li Nuer would say such bold words. He has grown up."

"What do you want to eat today? Auntie, I will cook for you myself."

Li Guanyi said, "Cook some porridge, stir-fry two dishes of vegetables, and then, um, make some roast meat?"

He laughed and said, "When I was doing farm work, I heard an old man talking about it. He sounded like it was delicious, and I was a little greedy after hearing that."

Murong Qiu Shui smiled and said, "Okay, okay, Auntie will make it for you. However, it is autumn and winter, ducks and geese are plump, go buy half a roast goose." She paused, then thought carefully about the people who were going to eat today, and said, "Forget it, let's buy a whole goose. There are too many people. If we only buy half a goose, it won't even be a dish."

Li Guanyi asked: "Are there many people this afternoon?"

Murong Qiushui stretched out his finger and poked Li Guanyi lightly, then he smiled and recited the young man's current name in one breath, saying:
"Let alone other things, just these people, our table here is almost full."

Li Guanyi was a little amused and said, "Okay, okay, a roast goose, right? I'll also buy some cold vegetables."

Murong Qiushui smiled and said, "Go ahead."

"Auntie is going to cook porridge. Your great-grandfather and Mr. Zhenkui have agreed to go fishing together. They agreed not to use martial arts or martial arts legends to see who can catch more fish."

"This time, Master Siming was kicked out. It seems that it was because Master Siming couldn't catch any fish last time, so he directly let his black tortoise Dharma image go into the water, trying to catch fish like an old tortoise. He defeated your great-grandfather and the formation leader, and made them very angry."

"This time, Master Siming will not be allowed to participate no matter what."

"I don't know what they can catch. Small fish can be used to make soup, and small crabs and shrimps can be fried or pan-fried, or used as a side dish."

"But there were two times before when they competed with each other and no one caught any fish, so they had to eat rice. If you feel uneasy, you can buy more."

Murong Qiu Shui smiled as she straightened Li Guanyi's collar. She wanted to reach out her hand and ruffle his hair with some affection, just like she did when Li Guanyi was a child and went to run errands. However, she instinctively reached out her hand and found that she could not reach him.

Li Guanyi has completely grown up, a young man of eighteen or nineteen years old, with great martial arts skills and experienced many battles on the battlefield. At this moment, Murong Qiu Shui had to stand on tiptoes to rub him, let alone reach out her hand. She sighed for a moment, with mixed feelings and relief in her heart.

She thought to herself.

Li Guanyi is already the King of Qin.

Murong Qiu Shui paused when he stretched out his hand and was about to retract it, but the young man naturally lowered his head and let his aunt's palm press on the ends of his hair.

Murong Qiu Shui was startled for a moment, then burst out laughing.

Without further ado, she reached out her hand and ruffled Li Guanyi's hair. Li Guanyi had no choice but to sigh helplessly, muttering that his hair was ruffled and he had to take a break before going shopping. He let his aunt do it. Li Guanyi stood up to tidy up his hair, then turned around and went shopping leisurely. Murong Qiushui smiled as she watched Li Guanyi go away. His shoulders had become broader, his figure had become taller, his eyebrows and eyes had become more mature, and he also carried the remaining power of a fierce man.

He has already become famous all over the world and looks down on everyone.

Murong Qiushui watched the young man walk away step by step, but suddenly laughed: "What King Qin!"

"It's obviously still the cute and well-behaved raccoon in my house!"

But I don’t know why.

The mood becomes especially good.

.........

Li Guanyi didn't have to worry about being recognized when he went shopping, he had his own way. How could a Grand Master of the Ninth Heaven worry about this? The silver-haired girl followed Li Guanyi leisurely. Li Guanyi also discovered Nangong Wumeng, who was hiding in the bushes outside Murong's house, and no one knew what he was doing.

Li Guanyi was in deep thought. Li Guanyi seemed to be thinking about something.

Li Guanyi touched Nangong Wumeng's back, stretched out his hand and grabbed the sneaky Nangong Wumeng.

Nangong Wumeng froze all over, like a cat with its fur standing on end, and almost shouted. Only when he found out it was Li Guanyi did he breathe a sigh of relief. He knew he had been discovered hiding here, and he was clearly embarrassed to the point where his face turned red. However, he still had an expression that made him feel unreasonable but very angry, and said:

"You, you, you, what are you doing! I, I'm just taking a walk here and taking in the scenery. I didn't come here specially, nor did I come here specially to see you, you!"

Nangong Wumeng realized that he had said the wrong thing, his voice stopped abruptly, and his face turned red.

Nangong Wumeng wanted to escape.

Nangong Wumeng looked at Li Guanyi.

Nangong Wumeng successfully restrained his instincts!
Li Guan smiled and said, "Come if you want, it's not a big deal, but I do need your help with something."

Nangong Wumeng was stunned and asked in confusion: "What?"

………………

After a while.

The East Market of the capitals of the Eighteen Prefectures in Jiangnan.

Nangong Wumeng stood in front of a stall, looking at the shop owner who was bragging that his roast goose was the best in the world and that even His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin had eaten it. Nangong Wumeng turned his head stiffly and looked at Li Guanyi next to him, who was looking at him as a savior with stars in his eyes. Nangong Wumeng's desire to refuse was getting weaker and weaker.

Damn, shameless guy!

This girl doesn’t understand these things!

Nangong Wumeng looked at the roast geese and pointed at one at random: "This is the one."

As a result, I chose the best one.

Li Guanyi accidentally discovered Nangong Wumeng's special ability. When he went out to buy fruits and the like, he didn't have to worry about finding bad fruits or not being able to find the ripest fruits. He only needed to carry Nangong Wumeng with him to solve all problems perfectly. Even if she just grabbed some fruits casually, she could get the most delicious ones in the pile, which made Li Guanyi envious.

Being able to fight is useless.

Nangong Wumeng is the kind of person who can definitely live a carefree life even if his martial arts skills are not top-notch in the world.

Li Guanyi's black tortoise form has the ability to survey and search for treasures, but one day after seeing Nangong Wumeng's form, his pair of green bean-sized eyes widened several times.

What the hell? What is this? A Pixiu?

What the hell? What is this? A golden toad?

What the hell is this? Gold Obsidian!
What the hell, what is this, a treasure bowl?
Are you the aunt of the God of Wealth who has come down to earth?

The black tortoise's Dharma image and the heart of Tao are broken.

Tears are about to flow.

Li Guanyi was leisurely looking for things with Nangong. He watched Nangong Wumeng start to bargain with the stall owner. His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin, who had failed in the previous round of bargaining with the stall owner and was killed, stood here, looking like a rookie soldier, at a loss.

He simply sensed the Jiuzhou Ding and found that it was undergoing subtle changes.

Li Guanyi felt that the road represented by the Jiuzhou Ding was divided into two at this moment.

One is still the spirit of the emperor who unified the world as seen before, and the other path is the flow of people's hearts.

One is with the king, the other is with the people.

Li Guanyi's mind surged in it, faintly leveraging the new charm of the Jiuzhou Ding at this moment. His mind and the Jiuzhou Ding were faintly one, completely different from the feeling in the past.

Just as he was prying, a wisp of breath flowed out, and almost in an instant, two figures appeared beside Li Guanyi, with two hands pressing on his shoulders. Li Guanyi opened his eyes and saw the whale fisherman and his great-grandfather. The two men were still carrying fishing gear, but their eyes were sharp.

The breath circulates, isolating others.

The whale fisherman almost laughed out of anger, with veins throbbing on his forehead. He said:

"The spirit of martial arts legend!"

"Boy, you are good enough. Do you think your life is too long?"

"It was fine when we fought Jiang Su last time, but this time, you bought a roast goose and wasted your life to guide the Wolf King's Qi and enter the legendary state of martial arts?!"

Li Guanyi raised his head slowly, with doubt in his eyes:
"But I didn't attract you."

The whale fisherman sneered, "It's fine if you did it, but why are you still talking nonsense here? You didn't arouse it, so what you mean is that you can arouse the legendary spirit of martial arts by yourself?"

"Hahahahaha!"

The whale fisherman, slightly angry due to worry, laughed, and then his brain, which had been thrown behind by the beggar's mouth, finally ran up and seemed to have strangled his own mouth.

The laughter stopped abruptly, and he finally realized something.

The whale fisherman laughed and laughed, but he couldn't laugh anymore.

The laughter slowly faded away.

His eyes were a little straight, and he tried to suppress the thought, but the idea still kept surging up from the bottom of his heart.

The legendary spirit of martial arts, relying on oneself?

Hahaha……

Are you kidding? How is that possible!
A martial arts legend who is eighteen years old but not even nineteen?

The youngest martial arts legend, the whale fisherman, stared at Li Guanyi as if he were a humanoid monster.

Murong Longtu, however, looked at Li Guanyi with a gentle and happy expression, and said those words easily and without any grudge:

"You have a breakthrough?"
