After listening to Empress Xiao's words, Yang Guang suddenly felt that his worries were unfounded. It is impossible for Zhu Liming's generation to rebel. When the next generation of Zhu Dan comes, there will be descendants, grandchildren, and grandchildren. By then, won't he be able to get married?

"I just always feel like there's a big mountain weighing on my head. It's uncomfortable to leave your destiny in the hands of others." Yang Guang sighed.

"Since ancient times, no great practitioner has ever been greedy for power." Queen Xiao looked at Yang Guang: "You seem to be underestimating this Taoist master."

"It's not like you haven't seen Zhu Liming's actions towards the aristocratic family. After all, there are only a very small number of aristocratic families who are willing to take refuge in Zhu Liming. Everyone is afraid of Zhu Liming's magical power, so they have to enshrine him on a high platform, but if they support

Zhu Mingxiao won the world and divided his own property, unless his brain is broken. He is not the same person at all." Empress Xiao said with a smile:

"The key is to make a fuss about Zhu Liming's descendants."

Outside the imperial city, walking out of the palace gate, Zhu Liming narrowed his eyes, raised his head and looked at the scorching sun in the distance, then turned around and looked at the imperial city, the corners of his mouth slightly raised: "The emperor's character!"

However, it is understandable that if it were me, I might have such concerns.

"But the Zhu family will never covet that position. Even if the world changes dynasties, my Zhu family will never participate in the struggle for royal power." Zhu Liming returned to the Taoist temple. He was not worried that the emperor would give him small shoes to wear in Qinghe County.

As long as I live in this world, the Emperor will never attack Qinghe County.

Yuan Tiangang was studying the Great Dao, and Zhu Liming originally wanted to say goodbye to him, but seeing Yuan Tiangang still in retreat, he left a letter and returned directly to Qinghe County.

Zhu Limingxiao's departure and return did not alarm anyone.

Back in his yard, Zhu Liming took out the mysterious seed, and then fell into a state of cultivation again.

This time he wants to retreat to comprehend the realm of magic.

Wood magic guide.

"My husband is back?" Li Wan came from outside the door and looked at Zhu Liming with a smile.

"I want to practice in seclusion. If anyone outside wants to see me, you can block it for me." Zhu Liming ordered, then left the prefect's mansion and found a deep mountain and old forest.

Practicing wood magic is not as easy as imagined, but with Zhu Liming's experience of breaking through the magic path several times, it is not as difficult as imagined.

The key still lies in the spiritual objects entrusted to the magic guide.

Zhu Liming looked at the emerald green seeds in his hands. Although the vitality inside was weak, it was everlasting and entrenched tenaciously.

"Although I have not refined wood magic, some intermediate wood magic is not too difficult for me." Zhu Liming thought in his heart, chanted the magic spell in his mouth, and then a green light gathered in front of him.

, poured into the spiritual seeds.

Moisturized by the magic of the growth of all things, the silent vitality in the magic seed trembled slightly, seeming to wake up from the silence, slowly absorbing the vitality emanating from Zhu Liming.

"It works. The vitality in this seed is slowly being restored." There was light in Zhu Liming's eyes. He stared at the seed in front of him with wide eyes. The next moment, the magic power around him boiled, and intermediate spells were continuously applied to the wood seeds.

.

Time passed by little by little. Zhu Mingxiao used intermediate magic to water the seed in the deep mountains and old forests every day. A full month passed. Finally, one morning, the emerald green seed suddenly cracked open.

There were fine lines, and then white roots poked out.

"Alive!" Zhu Mingxiao woke up from his meditation. The moment the seeds broke their shells, he had already noticed the changes in the seeds. The vitality was completely revived, and a mysterious force from heaven and earth gathered towards the green grass.

The green seedlings gathered together.

I saw that the sprout took root in the void, and actually mobilized the power of the elements solidified in the void, using the solidified elements in the void as the foundation, absorbing nutrients for itself to grow.

"What a treasure! It can actually absorb the power of elements solidified between heaven and earth. This is the first time I have seen this treasure. If people in this world have this treasure in their hands, wouldn't it be possible to absorb the power of elements between heaven and earth?

Matter is decomposed into elements?" There was a solemn look in Zhu Limingxiao's eyes. The next moment, his spirit controlled the infinite power of elements and rushed towards the seed.

Now that the seeds have come back to life from death and have just appeared in the world, it is the best time to refine the seeds.

The second day

Zhu Liming used a magic spell to water the seeds every day to help the seeds grow. But before the magic spell fell, Zhu Liming saw two young leaves emerging from the tender seeds, and a drop of crystal clear green dew on the leaves.

Sparkling and shining.

"This is?" Zhu Liming looked at the drop of dew in front of him, his eyes a little dazed. He felt the extremely strong power of life in the green bead.

"This dew seems to have incredible magical effects." Zhu Liming carefully took out a jade bottle, gently shook the dewdrops and put them into the jade bottle, and then continued to practice magic, resonating with the seedlings in front of him, and imprinting his spiritual imprint into it.

Within the origin of the sapling.

Time passed little by little, and finally when the autumn leaves fell, the emerald-green seeds in front of Zhu Liming had grown to three feet, turning into a green rainbow light, breathing along Zhu Liming's mouth and nose, along the Dantian Zifu,

Entering the dimensional space belonging to the wood attribute.

Done!

At this moment, Zhu Mingxiao's whole body was filled with vigorous vitality, swirling around him. The withered yellow weeds three feet around him suddenly reversed their youth and regained their vitality, turning into a piece of emerald green.

"The Wood Magician is indeed related to lifespan, and can command the vegetation in the world." After Zhu Mingxiao's energy integrated into the tree seedling, he noticed something abnormal.

A strange power between heaven and earth was absorbed by the seedling. As the seedling breathed, an extremely rich source of life spurted out, pouring into Zhu Liming's soul and nourishing the soul of his magician.

soul.

All the death energy around his body was dissipated, and the disease in his body was healed by the vitality. Even the heavenly punishment left by the forced casting of the quasi-forbidden spell was now resolved by Zhu Mingxiao, and his body had returned to its peak condition.

"It's a great harvest." Zhu Liming said, then he glanced at the withered yellow mountains, took one step forward and disappeared between heaven and earth:

"It's strange. Since there is such a treasure as the Heavenly Building Wood in the world, which can decompose solidified elements and turn matter into energy, how come there is no birth of a mage?" He was thinking about this in his mind, his eyes full of doubts:

"Could it be said that in the Lich War back then, all the powerful gods and humans were really killed?"

"Impossible! With the Tongtian Jianmu in hand, as long as we don't suffer a devastating blow, it shouldn't be difficult to live for thousands or tens of thousands of years, right?" Zhu Liming was puzzled.

Qinghe County

The entire Qinghe County is becoming more prosperous

Outside the prefect's mansion

Dugu Ding sat on the carriage, followed by several large carriages, which were full of boxes and stopped in front of the prefect's mansion.

Standing outside the gate of the prefect's mansion, Dugu Ding looked sighing: "Who would have thought that that common man back then would be as powerful as he is today? All the major families in the world have no choice but to fawn over him."

Flattery is flattery, and a struggle for interests is a struggle for interests.

"Send me my greeting card and say that I have come to see Mr. Li on the orders of the old man." Dugu Ding said.

A steward took out a greeting card and walked towards the gate of the prefect's mansion.

Countless people passing by looked at the dozen or so carriages behind Dugu Ding, with curiosity in their eyes. They gathered around the carriages, each one whispering and talking.

"Is this the first person to propose marriage this year?"

"I don't remember, I'm afraid it must have been more than thirty years ago. But not one of them succeeded."

"This guy looks like a bitch. I don't know if he can catch Miss Zhu Dan's eyes."

"Maybe if you can't even enter the prefect's mansion, you will be kicked out."

"What is this person's background?"

"It is said to be Dugu Ding, the third son of the Dugu family."

"The Dugu family, one of the four great clans? It sounds very good. There is a great chance."

"What about the Dugu family? Are there not many people who came to the prefect's mansion this year in advance? There are at least seven or eight families, no worse than the Dugu family. It is said that people from the Cui family in Hedong, the Wang family in Langya, and the Xie family all came to propose marriage, but they were all blocked.

go back."

"Yes, no family is weaker than the Dugu family, so what does the Dugu family mean?"

Everyone was pointing around Dugu Ding and talking secretly.

Dugu Ding listened to the words in his ears, with a hint of disdain in his eyes, and then looked at his nose and heart, as if he were an old monk.

But he was secretly proud and said, "Can they compare with me? I have Master Zhai's handwriting."

backyard

Li Wan is dealing with missionary matters in the grassland.

Suddenly, a servant came hurriedly from the door: "Madam, the third young master of the Dugu family, Dugu Ding, has come to ask for an audience. He also brought a letter, saying that he must open it with his own hands, Madam."

Li Wan made a move: "Dugu Ding? Do the Dugu family also want to come and seek benefits?"

Li Wan smiled disdainfully for "pretending to be a ghost", but since the other party promised to hand over the letter, it didn't hurt to take a look and see what the other party had in store.

Li Wan took the letter and opened it. Then he was stunned for the next moment and stayed there.

After a while, he said: "Please go to the hall, Dugu Ding."

The guard left, leaving Li Wan looking at the document in his hand: "The Dugu family's good tricks actually started from Zhai Rang. I think this must be Dugu Yue's handiwork."

"It would be better for Zhu Dan to get married as soon as possible, so as not to have to fight with me for power all day long. Now that there is a letter from Zhai Rang, I don't know what Zhu Dan will do or choose. She is afraid that she will have to delay it, and the marriage will be finalized sooner or later." Li Wan stood up.

: "I have to go to Zhu Dan in advance to inform him about this matter, so that he can be prepared in advance."
