Quick wear: cannon fodder is a bit strong

"Why?" Guan Xinyue was puzzled.

She had advanced several times before and didn't seem to encounter any major bottlenecks, let alone thunder tribulations.

Mao Tuanzi explained:

"The reason why the host didn't encounter the thunder tribulation when he advanced was because the original owner had once reached the early stage of Nascent Soul cultivation and had already experienced a thunder tribulation."

"It's like the Heavenly Dao has already marked this person. Naturally, they won't strike him again during the 'rebuilding' process."

"Oh."

Guan Xinyue understood.

Now that she was about to advance to the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, she naturally had to be struck by lightning. Okay, it was time for her to leave.

Not only do you have to face the thunder tribulation, but you also have to gain experience in actual combat.

Then there were the elixirs of the eighth grade and above. In addition to the ones that the old man had refined before, she refined several furnaces. There were also many elixir recipes, but she was short of spiritual plants.

"Jiujiujiu, how long have we been in space?"

Guan Xinyue adjusted her thinking.

I took out a cup of milk tea, a Black Forest cake, and a bowl of iced cherries and had a leisurely afternoon tea. After such a long struggle, I suddenly stopped at this moment and felt a sense of detachment from the past.

"Master Host, you have been in this space for one year and three months."

Maotuanzi answered her with a jumping sound.

The fat baby hid aside, staring at the delicious food in Guan Xinyue's hand.

Guan Xinyue: “…”

They each took one of the same ones and gave the fat baby a look.

The fat baby blew a cry:

"Thank you, Fairy Sister!"

After more than a year of hanging out with Maotuanzi, Fatty Baby can now speak a lot of words. He no longer needs Maotuanzi to say a word and then imitate it.

Guan Xinyue calculated the time and found that she had been in the space for more than a year, and more than two months had passed outside.

I don’t know how the group of children selected earlier have been doing in their cultivation over the past two months.

He immediately changed into a robe and left the space.

First, he went to visit Emperor Guan Shan and Empress Qi Weirong. Coincidentally, Guan Shan had just left the court, and at Qi Weirong's place, the Emperor and Empress were discussing martial arts outside the palace.

The couple looked very focused, interacting with each other, countering and feeding each other's moves, which was very heartwarming.

For a moment, he didn't notice Guan Xinyue's arrival.

Guan Xinyue could tell at a glance that in just over two months, Guan Shan had already reached the Foundation Establishment stage, while Qi Weirong had already reached the third level. The power of top-grade spiritual roots was truly astonishing.

In addition, both of them are more than 400 years old. After years of diligent training, and the tempering of meridians and marrow cleansing and the water of the fairy pool, they can be said to have accumulated a lot of experience.

Today's progress is normal.

After watching for a while, Guan Xinyue did not disturb the emperor and empress, and turned to go to the huge training ground behind the East Palace.

This place has been divided into training rooms by the inner palace guards under the command of "Qinqin" and "Kuai Kuai", and each child has an independent room.

The open space outside was the place where the daily slashing took place. Above the field hung a huge scoreboard, with each slashing victory scoring one point, and those with higher scores receiving resource rewards.

Guan Xinyue glanced at the records above.

I discovered that the person at the top of the list was actually Song Yan, the concubine daughter of the Minister of War. Her score was 67, and her cultivation level was the seventh level of Qi Refining. It seemed that mutant spiritual roots were indeed very powerful.

The second place is Xu Junqi, with a score of 60 and a cultivation level of the sixth level of Qi Refining;

Ranked third is a young man named Guan Liuliu, with a score of 58 and his cultivation level is also the sixth level of Qi Refining.

"Master, Guan Liuliu was originally a beggar without spiritual roots. He was the test subject for the first spiritual root pill you refined."

Qinqin reported.

That day, his master asked him to find someone to experiment with. He wandered around the streets outside the palace and saw this big-eyed young man begging, so he gave him the Spirit Root Pill.

Unexpectedly, the young man had grown high-level wood spiritual roots, and he knelt down and kowtowed to him on the spot to become his disciple.

He is a robot, why would he accept disciples?

However, seeing that the child was quite clever, he took it upon himself to bring it into the palace for his master. Unexpectedly, he was not disappointed.

Guan Xinyue: "Another beggar?"

Don’t create an ungrateful person like Jiang Yu.

"No, Master."

Qinqin is quite sure about this.

This child had no surname when it was picked up. It only vaguely remembered that it seemed to be the sixth child in the family. After knowing that the Linggen Pill was given by Guan Xinyue, it named itself Guan Liuliu.

It thinks that this child should know how to be grateful.

"Oh," Guan Xinyue said without comment.

She doesn’t really care whether people are grateful or not. She has the means anyway, right?

Except for these three children, the rest of the children have basically succeeded in drawing Qi into their bodies, and their cultivation levels are generally between the second and fourth levels of Qi Refining.

Guan Xinyue calculated that it was more than two months, and she was quite satisfied with the speed.

It was worth it that she put in a lot of resources.

He also used top-grade spirit stones to set up a huge spirit gathering formation and defensive array throughout the palace.

She didn't disturb the children's training, but just asked "Qinqin" and "Kuaikuai" to give them the Loyalty Pill. There was no other way, she was not a saint who could give them the Loyalty Pill for free.

So these children are both disciples and the guards of the palace.

After everything was arranged, Guan Xinyue said hello to the emperor and empress, and then took a spirit boat to the border where the Qi family army was.

At the junction of Qinglan and Jinque, at the edge of the Black Mist Forest, at the edge of the canyon.

A great battle with the Golden Sparrow Kingdom had just ended, and the ground was littered with corpses.

There are enemies and there are also our own people.

A white-haired veteran leaned on his spear, breathing heavily. His black robe was stained with blood, and the original color could no longer be seen.

A young man who looked about fifteen or sixteen years old was riding a warhorse and running towards the old man with an anxious look on his face.

When he got there, he tumbled off his horse and said:

"Grandfather, I'm late. Are you okay?"

"Hong, Hong'er, I, I'm fine!"

Qi Mutian's eyes sparkled with hope, and he seemed to have some strength back, but his voice was still hoarse:

"How's the battle going on with your parents?"

The old man fought for three consecutive days and nights without taking a drop of water.

He was indeed on the verge of collapse, but he was still concerned about his wife and son and daughter-in-law.

"My...my father."

The young man tried to force a smile and comfort the old man at first. However, as soon as he said this, his emotions couldn't be contained:

"Father is seriously injured, wuwuwu~"

In fact, it is more than just slightly heavy.

Qi Changhuai was injured by the horn of the Bahu beast, and a large gash was torn from his abdomen to his chest. His intestines and internal organs fell out.

It was only after he and his mother tried their best to injure the tiger beast that they managed to get his father back.

Now my father is unconscious in the big tent and is only breathing his last breath.

If only the Qi family's Nine Revolutions Resurrection Pill still existed, my father's life might still be saved. But Guan Hong didn't dare to say these things.

Even if I say I can't help, my grandfather will be sad.

But even so, the old man's expression became gloomy. But he soon cheered up and comforted his grandson:

"Be a real man, why are you crying?"

He was talking, but his body could no longer hold on. He leaned on his spear and slowly sat on the ground, muttering:

"My Qi family has protected Qinglan all our lives, fighting on the battlefield, dying on horseback. Even if we die, what regrets do we have?"

However, thinking of his daughter Weirong who was far away in the palace, he felt uneasy... The grandfather and granddaughter were both sad and exhausted, and the air was silent for a moment.

At this moment, "Ding-ling-ling", "Ding-ling-ling", there was a crisp sound of horse bells.

The two looked up.

I saw an extremely majestic Pegasus with a golden bell hanging around its neck, walking slowly towards me.

On the horse's back sat a pretty girl in red, with a cloak on her head and gorgeous clothes. Her eyes were moving around, and she looked inexplicably familiar.

The grandfather and grandson stood up at the same time.

The man and the horse seemed to be moving slowly, but in fact they had already arrived in front of him.

"You are……"
