Two days passed quickly. The leaders of the Nine Skies and Nine Tribes were all relatively talented. Moreover, those who could become the managers of the various tribes were all people with good cultivation. They were not as shallow as the four maids of their Martial Uncle. Many of the tribe leaders had learned at least one set of Heavenly Lake Plum Splitting Hand in just two days. Two of the younger tribe leaders had learned two sets of Plum Splitting Hand. They were Big Sis Wang from the Mysterious Sky Tribe and Big Sis Qi from the Serene Sky Tribe. They were both in their thirties, and their martial arts cultivation wasn't shallow. Their aptitude and comprehension were also pretty good.
Big Sister Wang from the Xuan Tian Tribe had an above average appearance and was still alone. The Sky Mountain Supremacy had once wanted to let her go down the mountain to find a man to live with, but she swore to follow the Sky Mountain Supremacy and never marry. Serene Sky Tribe's Big Sister Qi had an ordinary appearance. She was the type that would be difficult to find in a crowd. He was a natural for intelligence and assassination. They were not married. Li Rui looked at the two of them very intimately. They sat together at the banquet and often whispered in their ears. Li Rui thought wickedly, Could it be that the two girls also like that kind of style?
In the blink of an eye, the three-month period of facing the wall was up. All the subordinates were waiting outside the secret chamber cave. Li Rui had continued to cultivate and comprehend after his breakthrough. He had finally stabilized at the initial stage of the Xiantian Realm. It was amazing and refreshing. Li Rui led Bai Zhi out of the secret chamber, followed by Chun Mingxia. Another year had passed, and Li Rui was already seventeen years old this year. He had grown a lot taller than when he had just left the mountain, and he looked even more heroic. He was still handsome and extraordinary, and he had a graceful bearing.
Spring Tea and Summer Lotus were dazzled, and even Bai Zhi's eyes were sparkling. Everyone bowed respectfully and said,"Welcome, Young Master, Substitute Palace Master, to come out of seclusion.""Everyone, please rise!" After everyone got up, Li Rui took the lead and walked towards the main hall of the Green Phoenix Dou Que Palace. After the group of people sat down (they were originally standing to discuss matters, but ever since Li Rui took over the Green Phoenix Dou Que Palace, it wasn't long before it changed to the leaders of each department sitting in two rows, with the deputy leaders sitting at the hands of their respective leaders.)）Spring Tea and Summer Lotus stood on both sides of Li Rui while Bai Zhi lay at his feet. Li Rui looked around and said,"I've been meditating in seclusion for the past three months and have learned a lot." Not only did he understand his own shortcomings, but he had also comprehended and broken through the bottleneck of his martial arts, reaching the Innate Realm!”
The people in the hall were shocked. They had trained hard for decades to reach the realm of first-class masters (which was the ultimate realm of the Houtian realm). They never knew if they had the chance to break through in their entire lives, while most of the deputy leaders were only in the second-class realm. Connate was something that he had never thought of.
Li Rui noticed everyone's surprise. After a pause, he said,"If there are any major events in the palace while I'm in seclusion, tell me two important things ~!”The leaders of the Nine Tribes looked at each other, then Granny Gao of the Imperial Sky Tribe stood up.""There's nothing important in the palace ~~~, only a letter from the old venerable master arrived a few days ago. However, this subordinate thought that the young venerable master would come out of seclusion in a few days, so I didn't report it ~~" After saying that, he took out the letter from his bosom and handed it over with both hands. However, his eyes were filled with confusion. Wasn't the old Exalt in seclusion at the back of the mountain?
Chunming went down the stairs to retrieve it and handed it to Li Rui. Li Rui opened the letter and read it carefully. Li Rui's master and senior brothers missed him very much. His senior uncle also asked Ku Haizi to come to the Misty Peak of Tianshan to treat his injuries because of the Tianshan Snow Lotus that Li Rui had obtained by accident. Although his master hesitated, he agreed to leave after the Dragon Boat Festival. Because Ku Haizi could not travel long distances, he could only travel slowly. Therefore, even if he left in early May, he would only arrive at the Dou Que Palace in August. He would try his best to arrive before the Mid-Autumn Festival. Li Rui understood what was going on and was filled with joy. At the same time, he also knew that time was of the essence. It was already early February after the new year. If he did not speed up the construction and start the construction, half a year would not be enough by August!
Seeing everyone's puzzled expressions, he thought that they probably already had some guesses, so he no longer hid it and said,"I'm sure all of you have already guessed it. This seat's Martial Uncle, the Heavenly Mountain Supremacy, indeed did not go into seclusion at the back mountain. Instead, he secretly left the mountain on the day he appointed this seat as the Dou Que Palace's Young Supremacy and Acting Palace Lord. I didn't say it out loud because I was afraid that you would think too much!”All the subordinates stood up and said in unison,"Old Master, you've thought it through. We dare not speak rashly ~" Li Rui also waved his hand to indicate that it was fine.
Seeing this, Li Rui said,"Uncle Master, the Supreme Lord of Heavenly Mountain has given the order!"”Everyone replied in unison again,"I'm here ~" Li Rui continued to announce the order,"I've ordered another location in Ethereal Peak to begin construction on a new day. The main building of the new courtyard must be comparable to the Green Phoenix Douque Palace." "You must not violate ~~" All the subordinates said in unison,"We will obey the orders of the Palace Lord of the Blue Phoenix Fighting Palace, the Heavenly Mountain Supremacy, and the Young Supremacy of the Blue Phoenix Fighting Palace, who will act as the Palace Lord's substitute…"
Li Rui saw that he still needed to supervise the specific matters, so Li Rui officially issued his order for the first time,"Now, I order that Great Sky Division and Heaven Covering Division will be in charge of this matter, with the other departments working together. This order will be carried out on the same day. Within ten days, we must choose an auspicious day to break ground.”
Li Rui paused for a moment and continued,"In addition, the Great Heaven Division has sent an order to the 36 Heavenly Stars and 72 Earthly Fiends. This year, the congratulatory personnel do not need to bring gifts. They only need to prepare building materials such as wood, glazed tiles, ironware, etc., as well as various construction talents such as stonemasons, earthworks, carpenters, painters, etc. Later, the Great Heaven Division will be responsible for drafting a plan for the required materials and craftsmen and sending it to me. After my approval, it will be distributed to the Star Masters of the 36 Heavenly Stars and 72 Earthly Fiends respectively. This year, anyone who completes the mission according to the quality and quantity will be rewarded with two years of the antidote for the Yin-Yang Life-Death Talisman. The top ten who complete the mission will be rewarded with the removal of the Yin-Yang Life-Death Talisman and will be allowed to leave the Green Phoenix Fighting Palace. The first Star Lord who completes the mission will not only remove the Yin-Yang Life-Death Talisman, but will also be treated as an honored guest of the Green Phoenix Fighting Palace and be conferred the title of honorary elder of the Green Phoenix Fighting Palace ~~"
Big Sister Wang of Great Sky Division was stunned by Li Rui's words. The other leaders were also stunned. They didn't fully understand what Li Rui had said. They thought for a long while before coming back to their senses. They bowed in unison and said,"Respecting the orders of the old and young revered masters ~~~"
All the departments began to work in an orderly manner. They selected the site, drafted the documents, prepared the blueprints for the design institute, and prepared to purchase the materials. Most importantly, they divined the auspicious date of the zodiac. After seven days, they finally confirmed that they would start work on time. On this day, the almanac wrote that it was suitable for sacrifices, ceremonies, crowns, and groundbreaking. It was really an auspicious day.
At this moment, one could also see the strength of the Green Phoenix Fighting Palace. The various departments under it had a clear division of labor and coordinated with each other. There was no need to worry about Li Rui, the acting Palace Master, as long as he grasped the general direction. In the end, they decided on an open space on the cliff to the east of the Green Phoenix's Douque Palace. The terrain there was open and it faced the mountains and clouds. It was a rare treasure land with good feng shui. It was not inferior to the location of the Green Phoenix's Douque Palace. The only drawback was that there were many mountains and stones, which would increase the difficulty and cost of construction.
Li Rui personally went to take a look and immediately decided to build it here. The entire courtyard was built along the cliff, with layers of mountains. The halls and houses could be said to be of different heights. In the distance, the mountains were winding and the sea of clouds was rolling. Truly beautiful! From the moment the order was given to the day the construction officially began seven days later.
Ever since the construction began, most of the members of the Green Phoenix's Fighting Palace were active and working in an orderly manner. All kinds of craftsmen near the foot of the Heavenly Mountain were also invited over at a high price. Some prepared wood, some prepared stone, and some measured and calculated. About ten days after the start of the project, a portion of the people from the 36 Heavenly Stars and 72 Earthly Fiends had already begun to rush over.
They yearned for freedom, and once they received such a benevolent order from the new Young Master, they hoped to perform well. In addition, some of them were closer to Tianshan, so they didn't want to wait until the 15th of March to come again. They hoped to get the first place, or at the very least, the top ten spots. All kinds of materials and construction technicians arrived one after another.
The construction progress was very fast. There were two shifts every day. The usual shift would start at dawn, and the other shift would take over after lunch until the evening. The next day, they would switch shifts. At night, they would drink and eat until they were full. All the craftsmen who came to work could get 300 wen a day.(This was almost twice the labor price of the Song Dynasty at that time. Silver was scarce in the Song Dynasty, and the main currency was copper coins.) If they could persevere and finish the project, each person could get 50 strings of money.
This was quite a lot. All the labor, materials, food, and drinks in the entire Green Phoenix Douque Palace, both inside and outside, would cost about two million strings of strings. This was really too much money. Fortunately, the Green Phoenix Douque Palace was a big family with hundreds and thousands of years of history. There were countless kinds of cultural toys and antiques.
There were dozens of secret vaults around the peak. It was no exaggeration to say that it was enough to equip a hundred thousand cavalrymen or a million infantrymen. Moreover, in the past few decades, there had been nearly a thousand subordinates worshiping him every year. Therefore, taking out so much money at once was only a small matter. It could not shake the foundation!
At the beginning of the third month, all the Star Lords had arrived at the Green Phoenix Douque Palace, bringing along a large number of construction materials and craftsmen. The leaders of the forces and forces that were stronger in this mission gradually emerged. Each of them was indeed different from the others. At the very least, they had the strongest organizational ability and financial resources. It could be said that the eight immortals crossed the sea and each showed their magical powers.
Amongst them, Boss Bird was very trustworthy and had a high prestige. The Flood Dragon King, Daoist Qi Qu, provided the most money and food. Presumably, the Taoist temple where this fake Daoist was hiding was flourishing with incense and had a lot of money. The Star Master of the Cave of Dissipating Cave in the capital, Hong Sanniang, had brought a lot of girls with her, allowing everyone to relax and earn a lot of money. The Star Lord of the Gold and Silver Island of the Jin family gambling den in Shandong had also earned quite a bit. Western Sichuan's Bi Lin Cave's Sang Tu Gong Scripture had obtained many ancient artifacts. It was probably very convenient to use this earth walking technique to rob tombs. The others were the Heavenly Wind Cave's Quiet Star Master, the Five Finger Mountain's Crimson Flame Star Master Duanmu Yuan, the Hidden Edge Horned Dragon Star Master Xuan Huangzi, the Northern Sea's Dark Mysterious Star Master Zhang Dafu, and the Southern Sea's Coir Flower Star Master Li Clan.
Thank you for watching. If you think it's good, please send more flowers and collect them ~ I'll work harder ~
