Chapter 206
In an elegant pavilion, Daoxuan sat at the stone table, picked up the tea brewed by the palace maid and tasted it slowly. Suddenly, a fragrance with a slightly bitter tea spread in his mouth, and there was a little spiritual energy, which made him slightly refreshed.
"Your Highness, what do you think of this tea?!" The palace maid beside him looked at Daoxuan who was tasting tea and asked carefully.
"Very good, let's make tea like this in the future!"
Daoxuan nodded slightly, and then said, "Reward each of you ten golds!"
Ten golds are not gold. Although the current Da Shang has mined gold because of Daoxuan, it is not much, and because it contains extremely yang energy, it belongs to the immortal material, so it is extremely precious.
The so-called ten golds are actually ten kilograms of copper coins.
Long before Daoxuan was reincarnated, Da Shang had already smelted copper, but most of it was bronze. It was not until Daoxuan was reincarnated that he smelted brass in a more advanced way, which allowed copper coins to appear in Da Shang in later generations.
"Thank you for the reward, Your Highness!" Hearing Daoxuan's words, the maid hurriedly thanked him with joy.
Daoxuan smiled faintly and continued to drink tea.
This tea was found by Daoxuan after a long search, and it was a rare acquired spiritual root. Although it was only a low-grade acquired spiritual root, it was also extremely rare.
In order to prevent people from ruining this acquired spiritual root tea tree, Daoxuan not only planted it himself, but also made tea in the way of roasting tea in later generations, which is how these spiritual teas came into being.
"Pack two boxes of tea and send them to Zhengqing Palace and Yangxin Palace!" Daoxuan pondered for a moment and said.
"Yes, Your Highness!" The maid was stunned for a moment, and then turned around to do her work.
Zhengqing Palace was where Emperor Yi handled government affairs. Based on his understanding of Emperor Yi, Emperor Yi should still be handling the government affairs of Da Shang in Zhengqing Palace at this time.
It must be said that being an emperor is not a job for an ordinary person, especially for a diligent and people-loving person like Di Yi. Basically, he spends more than eight hours a day either attending court or handling government affairs. It is also because of such diligence that even though Di Yi is already a first-class warrior and has a life span of more than 200 years, he is almost at the end of his life.
As for the Yangxin Palace, his biological mother in this life, who is also the queen of the Shang Dynasty, lives there.
In fact, before he was born, his biological mother was not the queen, but a concubine favored by Di Yi. It was because Di Yi wanted to make him the crown prince that he made his biological mother the queen, so that he, the crown prince, could be legitimate.
Therefore, his biological mother loved him very much since he was a child. Unfortunately, Daoxuan was not an ordinary person, so he naturally would not act like a spoiled child to his mother like other children, which made his biological mother quite resentful.
"Big brother!" X2! ! !
At this time, two voices came from the gate of the courtyard. Two young men with a height of more than two meters and twenty-three meters and a young man with a happy face strode in from outside.
"Yan, Shou, come and have tea!" Daoxuan smiled faintly when he saw his two younger brothers coming.
"Tea, what tea, is it the acquired spiritual root that you planted before, brother?"
Zishou walked into the pavilion and drank a cup of tea directly after seeing the palace maid brew tea. Then he smacked his lips and said, "Why is this tea so strange, a little spiritual, a little bitter, not good to drink!"
"Then you drink water!" Daoxuan did not force it, and smiled faintly.
"Don't, brother, I'm kidding, this tea is still very delicious!" Seeing Daoxuan say this, Zishou, who has always regarded Daoxuan as his idol, smiled flatteringly.
"Okay, sit down!"
Daoxuan waved his hand, not caring. After the two sat down, he said, "Yan, Shou, why are you here? How is the Xuanjia Army?"
"Of course we heard that you, brother, came out of retreat, so we came back!" Zishou said casually.
"Brother, everything is normal in the Xuanjia Army. Those commanders have broken through the first-class realm, and most of the soldiers have reached the third-class realm!" The second disciple Yan said.
The Xuanjia Army is the army that Daoxuan has formed over the years. Originally, there were 200,000 people, but after several years of training and elimination, there are only 50,000 people in the end.
However, these 50,000 people are all warriors. In addition, Daoxuan equipped them with armor, iron weapons and battle formations. If they perform well, it is not impossible to fight one against ten, or even one against a hundred.
Of course, this is when dealing with some ordinary rioters or ordinary armies. After all, except for the Shang Dynasty, other vassal states in the current earthly world have no ironware. At most, they have some bronzeware. Compared with the Black Armor Army equipped with iron armor, ironware and battle formations, it is like a group of 18th century Indians with spears facing a group of American soldiers with gunpowder guns.Emperor Yi was nominally the commander of the entire Xuanjia Army, but he was the real commander, and his second brother Yan and third brother Shou were appointed as the left and right deputy commanders respectively, to train the Xuanjia Army while he was in seclusion.
Although Yan and Shou were appointed as deputy commanders of the Xuanjia Army for reasons of favoritism, in fact, Yan and Shou's cultivation was not low, and both of them had already reached the realm of Xiantian Realm warriors.
Especially Zi Shou, although this kid was only thirteen years old, his aptitude was extremely amazing. He broke through to become a Xiantian Realm warrior at the age of eleven, and now he is at the peak of Xiantian Realm, and he is only one step away from becoming a martial king.
It can only be said that Zi Shou is worthy of being the protagonist of the idiom "托梁换柱" in later generations. If he is allowed to practice, he may become a martial immortal before he is twenty years old.
Of course, the reason why the two have such a strong cultivation at such a young age is that in addition to their good aptitude, the most important thing is that Daoxuan has perfected the martial arts with his powerful Taoism, and directly pushed the martial arts to the realm comparable to the Golden Immortal.
In addition, Daoxuan also studied the art of making the golden elixir that Laozi had passed on to the human race. Combining some ideas from his previous life, he directly developed the art of making the external elixir, and refined the elixir suitable for warriors with spiritual medicine and spiritual roots. This allowed the two of them, and even the entire Xuanjia Army, to become warriors, and even more than 98% of them were third-rate warriors.
"Well, not bad, you have worked hard, and this is a reward for you!"
Hearing Yan's words, Daoxuan smiled and nodded, and then stroked his right hand forward, and two exquisite jade bottles suddenly appeared in front of the two of them.
"Yan's is the Essence Pill, which can enhance your practice and refine your true essence, and yours is the Breaking Realm Pill, which can help you break through the Xiantian realm. Of course, it would be even better if you can break through without the pill!"
"Thank you, brother!" Yan's eyes lit up, and he quickly put away the bottle of pills. He knew how powerful his elder brother was in refining pills. If it weren't for his elder brother's pills, he couldn't imagine that he could break through the Xiantian realm at the age of eighteen.
"Thank you, big brother. Don't worry, I can definitely break through without the help of elixirs!" Zishou said confidently.
However, despite saying so, Zishou's hands were no slower than Yan's. His hands almost left a residual image, and he directly put away the bottle of breakthrough elixir.
Seeing Zishou's upright appearance, Daoxuan couldn't help but smile and shook his head, then stood up and said, "Okay, let's go. Since you are back, come with me to pay respect to the father?!"
"No, big brother, I just came back from the military camp, can you let me rest for a while?" Hearing Daoxuan's words, Zishou couldn't help but say with a bitter face.
Seeing Zishou's expression, Daoxuan knew that he didn't want to see Di Yi. He didn't know why, but Zishou had been afraid of Di Yi since he was a child, but he was very dependent on him as his big brother.
"Okay, but in the future, I will give the elixir to your second brother, and you won't have it!" Daoxuan smiled faintly.
"No!" Hearing Daoxuan's words, Zishou almost jumped up.
Although he has a good aptitude for martial arts, if he didn't have the elixir given by Daoxuan, he would have been at least half as fast in his training.
Only after he had taken the elixir given by his elder brother did he know how powerful his mysterious elder brother was.
Although he was already a martial artist at the peak of the Xiantian realm, in front of his elder brother, he felt that his elder brother could crush him with just a glance.
It wasn't that he wanted to compete with his elder brother, but even if it was his second brother Yan, he felt quite pressured. After all, if he didn't have the support of his elder brother's elixir, his second brother's cultivation might soon catch up with him, or even surpass him.
"If it doesn't work, why don't you leave?!" Daoxuan didn't intend to spoil his son, even though this kid was still a child. After glancing at him, he took the lead and walked out of the yard...
