Chapter 211: Spirit Gathering Array
The roar of the shoreless sea attracted Ye Wenyan, the head of the Ye family who lived in later generations, and Li Yuan, the master of the Northern Qi Emperor.
It's just that one is on the east coast and the other is on the north coast.
In fact, they had met before. For Yu Shiliyuan, it was more than a month ago, and for Yu Yewenyan, it was several years ago.
This is the charm of time and space, and also the mystery of time and space. Everything is destined, those who are destined to meet will always meet, and those who are not destined to meet will inevitably just pass by each other.
Seeing that she already knew, he no longer concealed it and told her the truth: "The roar in the Wu'an Sea was too strong. I used up more than 90% of my spiritual energy to suppress it for free. Although the process was not tragic, it was definitely not easy. Many mortals saw it and calculated that I was seriously injured and weak, so they wanted to kill me. Originally, I should have been in seclusion for three years after returning, but I didn't expect the previous emperor to pass away, and then I encountered the earth dragon, so it has been delayed until now."
Ye Wenyan felt a little embarrassed as he listened, "And it's also because of me, right? Originally you could have cared nothing about anything, even the death of the late emperor had nothing to do with you, but in the end it was because of me that your originally peaceful life was disrupted."
He laughed, and it was great that the little girl's confidence was restored.
"Come on, stop laughing." She pushed him away a little, then began to look through her sleeve pockets and purse. "I don't have much money on me. I originally came to the palace to get wintersweets from Yanhua Mountain to make pills, but now I'd better save as much as possible. I'll let you do it first." After saying that, she pinched her fingers, and her arms circled half a circle from top to bottom, and wintersweets flew, and the fragrance of flowers filled the air.
Shi Liyuan's eyes lit up, "Is this... a spirit gathering array?"
She nodded. "It must be difficult for you to make a spirit gathering array, right? After all, the spiritual power of heaven and earth has dissipated now. Even if you absorb spiritual power by absorbing the essence of the sun and the moon, the purification process of the essence of the sun and the moon is complicated, and the amount that can be absorbed by spiritual practitioners is very small. It is too unrealistic to use the essence of the sun and the moon to make a spirit gathering array for people to use. But I am different. My spiritual power comes from flowers. As long as there are flowers, there are spirits. As long as there are flowers, the supply of spirits to the spirit gathering array will not be cut off."
She stood up and replaced Shi Liyuan into the formation. "Stay here and I'll go get the flowers. I don't know how much spiritual power you can hold, but as long as you have enough flowers, this spirit gathering formation will be enough for you to draw endlessly."
Ye Wenyan was very mobile. He walked down the stairs, and used magic to fly into the air when he went up. Then he bumped into Lian Shi who was leaning over to look down.
Lian Shi was almost knocked unconscious by her. He sat down on the ground with a bang, and stars appeared in his eyes.
Ye Wenyan casually waved a spell to wake Lian Shi up, and when he finally woke up, he heard a sentence: "Hurry up and help me find flowers. Search the whole city, find as many as you can."
The three places of Yanhua Palace, Qintianjian and Shenxian Palace were in action, searching the whole city for flowers. Ye Wenyan first made use of all the existing wintersweets in Yanhua Palace, using some of them to set up a spirit gathering formation and some of them to infuse spiritual power and seal them in a porcelain bottle containing pills.
She told Quan Qingcheng: "After putting the flower in, if you want the medicine to work better, don't open it within three hours to ensure that the flower spirit can completely penetrate into the pill. This way, when you distribute it to people in the inner city who have relapsed old illnesses, it will be safe."
Quan Qingcheng thought it was all magical. He could understand that putting flowers in the bottle could give the pills a floral scent. But what was it about flowers that had spirits? Why did flowers have spirits? What were spirits? Was it a ghost?
Ye Wenyan did not answer this question, because she had already taken several sacks of flowers to set up the spirit gathering array. Yun Chen, who came to help, explained to him: "Spirit is of course not a ghost, otherwise the emperor is not a spirit cultivator, but a ghost controller. Your Majesty, think about the fire phoenix and red dragon at the New Year's Eve palace banquet, that is a spirit. The emperor used magic and spells, and he also used spirits. The spiritual power of heaven and earth hundreds of years ago, that is a spirit. The spirit is an invisible and intangible existence, only those who are predestined can feel it, and those who are more predestined can use it. Originally, only the emperor could cultivate the spirit in the world, but now it seems that the fourth lady can also do it a little bit."
Wu Fei analyzed, "It might be that Lord Emperor taught her. Lord Emperor is so powerful that it is normal for him to teach her some small magic tricks to amuse his beloved girl. It's just that he may love the fourth young lady too much and taught her too much."
People felt that his analysis was reasonable, and Lord Emperor Zun did teach a little too much. Just like the fire phoenix at the New Year's Eve palace banquet, and the one that just took off into the air. Isn't that flying? Miss Ye Si can fly, so how can this be just a little bit of teaching?
Lian Shi said, "It doesn't matter. It's their business anyway. They will get married sooner or later. It's up to the emperor to decide how much to teach. We won't get involved. Your Majesty, go back and rest after you get the pill! You must not have rested well these days. You will be busy tomorrow!"
Quan Qingcheng was a little reluctant to leave. He said to Yun Chen, "I always feel sleepy in the Immortal Palace, but I feel energetic once I get to Yanhua Mountain. I feel that as long as I sit on Yanhua Mountain, I will be full of energy even if I don't sleep."
Zhuier said to him: "Then you may have absorbed all the spiritual energy of the Emperor. You are equivalent to stealing food from the Emperor."
Quan Qingcheng was so scared that he dragged Wu Fei and Yao Wan away, crawling away.
Lian Shi said to Zhuier, "It's okay for Your Majesty to stay. At least you'll have someone to chat with. Otherwise, you'll be so bored! Lord Yun and I are both old, and we can't have much to talk about."
Yun Chen didn't like what he said. "Can you be more serious? Who is old? I am only 25 years old, how can I be old? You can't always think that others are old just because you are old. You have to remember the gap between us. You are a person whose neck is half buried in the ground, and you say that I am the same as you. Do you hope that I will die soon or what?"
Yun Chen and Lian Shi had a heated discussion about the age issue, while Zhuier sat aside, holding his chin and watching Quan Qingcheng walking further and further away at the bottom of the stairs.
She actually didn't dislike the little emperor, and even liked talking to him. She felt that the atmosphere was particularly relaxed and pleasant when he was around. Although Quan Qingcheng was the emperor, she didn't feel any pressure at all when she was with him. On the contrary, she felt very close to him and had a lot of fun bickering with him.
But that's all! She thought, this is the best. She was just a maid in the general's mansion. Even if she became a maid by the side of the fourth lady, she was just a maid. There was a world of difference between her and the emperor.
So she didn't want to think about anything, nor did she want to ask for anything, lest it develop to the point where they would feel awkward even talking to each other. That would mean she would lose a good friend for nothing, which would not be worth it.
After Yun Chen and the other girl finished arguing, Lian Shi went back to the house to cook. Yun Chen saw the little maid staring at the ground in a trance, so he sat beside her and pinched his fingers. This action scared Zhuier, and she immediately grabbed Yun Chen's hand - "What are you doing? Don't pinch your fingers, I get scared when you pinch your fingers, what are you going to do to me? Don't make me a bad star too."
Yun Chen was convinced by her. "Where do so many bad stars come from? I have no grudge against you, so why would I count you as a bad star? I just want to calculate your marriage fate. You see, you are not a child anymore. You should figure out the marriage fate as soon as possible so that you can work towards the right goal and direction as soon as possible."
"I won't count!" Zhuier refused decisively, "I definitely won't count. My mother said that the more you count, the worse your fate becomes. She died because of all the fortune-telling. I was also sold to a man. Besides, people should live their lives the way they should, no matter if it's good or bad, by the way or by the way, at least every day is fresh. A fresh life is interesting. Otherwise, every day is like listening to an old story. You know who you will meet and what you will experience in advance. What's the fun in that?"
Yun Chen laughed, "It's not that clear, it's just a rough direction."
"I don't need a direction! My direction is to follow my Fourth Young Miss. Everything else is bullshit, and marriage is even more bullshit. There is no marriage in the world better than the one I have with the Fourth Young Miss. So, Lord Yun, if you are interested, you can just look for a marriage, but don't bother me. My marriage is with the Fourth Young Miss, and no one else has anything to do with it."
Lian Shi ran out from the kitchen, originally intending to ask them what they wanted to eat, but he saw Zhuier holding Yunchen's hand and saying something, so he stopped and didn't come over here anymore.
Alas, I am really old and can't bear to see all these love affairs. I didn't think it was a big deal before, because there was the benchmark of the Emperor, who set a good example of a man over four hundred years old who didn't get married. He is only in his fifties, so he is not in a hurry.
But now that the Emperor has someone by his side, he feels a little lonely. Originally, he could have kept Yun Chen company, but now he feels that it feels good for Yun Chen to be held by Zhuier's fingers, which makes him even lonelier.
It was a mistake after all! Whether it was to the Emperor or Yun Chen, it was a mistake after all! Lian Shi thought, maybe I should go find Wu Fei to keep me company tomorrow, eunuchs should have more common topics.
In the underground palace of Yanhua Palace, in the weapon refining room, Shi Liyuan sat in the spirit gathering array. Seeing Ye Wenyan pouring out sacks of flowers, he was a little puzzled. "Where did you find so many wintersweets?"
Ye Wenyan told the truth: "We looted the Li family."
"The Li family?"
"Yes. Wu Fei said that the Li family put a lot of thought into training their daughter, Li Yanran. Not only did they let her practice music, chess, calligraphy and painting, they even taught her the skills of burning incense and making tea. I don't know who told me that melting the snow on wintersweets to make tea can make the tea have the fragrance of wintersweets and taste especially good. So the Li family planted a large wintersweets garden in the mansion, specifically for Li Yanran to get snow to make tea. I just went there in person and plucked all the wintersweets trees..."
