Upon hearing this, Qin Shi and Li Shu were slightly startled. The two of them knew that there was a grudge between Chen Yan and Mu Xiaoyi. However, it could not be considered a grudge. It was just that the two of them could not stand each other. The former felt that the latter was pretentious, while the latter despised the former for not behaving himself. Practically every clan knew that the two of them did not get along with each other in the outer ocean palaces. However, the fact that Chen Yan was willing to make such a concession caused Qin Shi to feel sincerely moved. He knew that the reason why Chen Yan did this was not related to the Qin Palace or Mu Palace. Although there were currently countless ocean palaces that wanted to curry favor with the Qin Palace, Chen Yan did not care about this. The only person she cared about was Qin Shi.
Qin Shi gratefully looked at Chen Yan. "Thank you."
Chen Yan curled her lips. "If you want to thank me, satisfy me in bed. Words alone are not enough. I won't fall for it."
Qin Shi awkwardly smiled, but he still remembered how touched he was. He knew how precious and important a spot in the outer layer sea palaces was. Even if Chen Yan was the palace master of the Rashomon Palace, she would definitely be stopped by many people. Yet, she still chose to do it for him.
"Alright, I won't waste any more words with you. I'll also be participating in the Deep Sea Genesis reservoir trial, so let's meet there next time. I won't be bothering you for the time being. Sigh, I still have to think about how to fool those old fellows. What a headache."
Chen Yan rubbed her head, her figure dancing like a butterfly. Before she left, she did not forget to smile at Qin Shi. "Thank you for the black robe. I really like it."
Qin Shi's heart was filled with all sorts of emotions as he watched the girl leave.
Chen Yan had been the most persistent towards him over the years. She was even more direct than Zi Lingsha. Although he owed Zi Lingsha a great debt of gratitude, she seemed to be deliberately hiding her love for him for some reason. This did not make things too difficult for Qin Shi, but Chen Yan, on the other hand, really made things difficult for him. He really owed her more and more.
The demon chuckled, "Haha, the land of tenderness is the grave of a hero."
"Can you stop making things difficult for me?"
Qin Shi said helplessly. He put this matter aside for the time being. He sat beside Li Shu and hesitated for a moment before saying, "Li Shu, are you sure you won't participate in this trial?"
"The quota is limited, so I won't join in the fun. Besides, there needs to be someone in the palace," Li Shu said.
Qin Shi nodded his head. He admired Qin Shi's ability to see the big picture. At this moment, he suddenly said, "Recently, I will establish a few Martial Dojos. I will also leave this Reincarnation Martial Art to you. You can choose some elite disciples from the Qin Palace and arrange for them to cultivate. Our Qin Palace's core strength is still lacking compared to the other palaces. Think of a way to train them."
Li Shu nodded his head in amazement, "I didn't expect Palace Lord to discover this problem so quickly."
Qin Shi smiled bitterly. Actually, he knew about this problem ever since he took over the Sun Palace. Although the Qin Palace's upper echelons could do whatever they wanted in the outer ocean palaces, he alone could kill a False World Realm Palace Lord and shock countless sea palaces. With Lu Peng and the two of them, many sea palaces in the outer ocean palaces would have to reconsider if they had the ability to do so. It was just that in order to completely control the Qin Palace, Qin Shi had killed almost all the upper echelons and elders of the Sun Palace. After that, there was a clear gap in the Qin Palace's strength. Apart from him and Lu Peng, no one could gain a foothold in the outer ocean palaces. This was not a good sign. Once they were caught by the enemy, it would be a fatal blow. This was why Qin Shi wanted to train a batch of core disciples, but he couldn't find the time to do so.
"Palace Lord, don't worry about this. I've already arranged for San Feng and Xu Tao to choose disciples. I think that with Palace Lord's two Samsara martial arts and a large amount of resources, the Qin Palace's core strength will rise soon," Li Shu said.
Hearing this, Qin Shi nodded.
In the next two months, Qin Shi opened three more martial arts arenas in the Qin Palace and seized several Sea Soul Pill production sites, making the Qin Palace superior to most sea palaces in terms of resources. This also caused the Qin Palace's core strength to grow rapidly. In just two months, there were 300 Domain Realm experts. Among them, there were 100 Domain Realm experts at the peak and 50 Domain Realm experts at the peak. This was much more than many sea palaces.
Only then was Qin Shi satisfied. In these two months, Qin Shi found Mu Xiaoyi alone several times.
Mu Xiaoyi's foundation was extremely unstable due to her forced breakthrough. He first used gentle force to weaken Mu Xiaoyi's restless spirit force, and when Mu Xiaoyi's spirit force fell back to the peak of the Domain Realm, he arranged for Mu Xiaoyi to consume the Domain Immortal Flower. With Qin Shi's help, Mu Xiaoyi and Lu Peng both broke through. Lu Peng once again returned to the peak of the Domain Realm, but this time, his foundation was more stable and his spirit force was more vigorous. Lu Peng, on the other hand, had reached the half-step World Realm, which was enough to sweep away everyone in the younger generation.
At this time, the trial of the Deep Sea Source Pool was approaching, and it was the day before the Deep Sea Source Pool was about to open.
Li Shu opened the spatial teleportation to the Shi Fang Palace.
In front of the spatial teleportation, many elders gathered. At this moment, Qin Shi said to Yama, "Elder Yama, you will be in charge of the Qin Palace while I'm not in the palace. If anything happens, contact the Tuoba Palace and Rashomon Palace. They will provide support."
"Palace Lord, don't worry, leave it to this old man." Yama readily agreed.
Qin Shi nodded in satisfaction. He did not want to gather too many people for this trip to the Shi Fang Palace, so he only asked Lu Peng and Li Shu to accompany him.
At this moment, Mu Xiaoyi pursed her red lips and said softly, "Palace Lord, if you see my father in the Shi Fang Palace, please say hello to him for me."
"If you want to say hello, just say it yourself." Qin Shi said indifferently.
"Ah?" Mu Xiaoyi was stunned. She was still unaware of Qin Shi's previous arrangements.
"Let's go, what are you waiting for? You're also a participant this time." Qin Shi smiled.
Hearing this, Mu Xiaoyi pointed to herself in disbelief. "M-me too?"
As the eldest daughter of the Mu Clan, she naturally knew how precious the quota for the Deep Sea Source Pool was. Therefore, she did not expect that Qin Shi would give such a precious quota to her.
Even in the Mu Clan Palace, Mu Li would not give it to her, right?
"Not only you, Qian Xundao is also included. There are four of us this time."
"Four people?
Aren't there only three people in each Sea Palace? "Mu Xiaoyi was stunned.
"You don't have to ask too much about this. You will naturally understand when you reach the Shi Fang Palace."
Mu Xiaoyi's eyes were filled with surprise, but more than that, gratitude. Qin Shi naturally understood the meaning of Mu Xiaoyi's gaze, but he did not say anything. He smiled faintly and nodded at her. At this time, he waved his hand and opened a space tunnel. With Qin Shi in the lead, the five figures disappeared into the space tunnel.
The Shi Fang Palace was located in the center of the Outer Sea Palace. It was the core of the Outer Sea Palace. Here, the spiritual qi was rich, and it was a rich and fertile land. It was almost the heart of the Outer Sea Palace. Many of the Outer Sea Palace's Sea Soul Pill production areas, including some important blessed lands, were supported by the spiritual qi of the Shi Fang Palace.
The Qin Palace was not far from the Shi Fang Palace, and it only took six hours to reach the place with Space Teleportation.
As soon as he stepped into the Shi Fang Palace's domain, the rich spiritual qi that hit his face made Qin Shi's soul wander. He couldn't help but feel a bit greedy. This kind of spiritual qi, was it a blessed land that countless cultivators yearned for?
"What a rich spiritual qi."
"The Shi Fang Palace is directly connected to the Three Pure Ones. In the Shi Fang Palace's domain, there is a passage that connects to the Three Pure Ones. Therefore, the aura here is almost comparable to that of the three thousand inner sea palaces. This is also the reason why the Shi Fang Palace is so powerful. However, countless sea palaces covet this position, but in the past thousand years, no one has been able to shake it. The Shi Fang Palace is directly related to the three thousand inner sea palaces. Almost all of them are affiliated to the three thousand inner sea palaces, and they are also related to the Three Pure Ones. Ordinary sea palaces do not dare to offend them."
Qin Shi nodded in amazement. The Shi Fang Palace was really a blessed land for cultivators.
At this time, more and more sea palaces gathered in the Shi Fang Palace. The familiar ones included the Tuoba Palace, the Longevity Palace, the Monarch Palace, the Rashomon Palace, the Twin Palaces, and the Mu Clan Sea Palace. Almost all of the four thousand sea palaces in the periphery had gathered here, but the surprising thing was that each sea palace only sent a few people this time: the palace lord and an elder, followed by the participating disciples. But thinking about it, this was the Shi Fang Palace after all, and it was not good to come in a grandiose manner.
At this time, Tuoba Kuang and Elder Gongshu saw Qin Shi and went forward to greet him. The disciples that the Tuoba Palace sent to participate in the competition were the Tuoba Qiankun brothers, who had returned to the Tuoba Palace earlier, and a young disciple named Zhao Wu. This disciple's cultivation was also not bad. He had reached the grand completion of the Domain Realm, and he was the strongest disciple of the Tuoba Palace besides Lu Peng and Xia Yang, who had left.
The Rashomon Palace's Chen Yan also arrived at this time, and the person beside her was undoubtedly Luo Yan.
Chen Yan was still wearing the black robe that Qin Shi had given her, and underneath it was a fiery tube top that gave off a faintly discernible sense of beauty.
The Mu Clan Palace's disciples were Mu Li and Mu Qingyan. What surprised Qin Shi was that Mu Li had actually recovered to the grand completion of the Domain Realm in a short two months. Although he had not reached the half-step World Realm this time, his spiritual energy was still vigorous, which was very rare.
"It should be because of Old Daoist Craneshadow," Li Shu said.
Qin Shi nodded. For a World Realm expert, it was not difficult for Mu Li to recover to the grand completion of the Domain Realm with a few pointers. In addition to this, there was also a sea palace that Qin Shi paid special attention to, and that was the Mad King Palace. The leader was a burly man who was bare-chested. He should be the Mad King of the Mad King Palace. Behind him were Luo Ye and two young men. Many of the sea palaces chose to avoid the Mad King Palace when they saw the Mad King Palace. After all, no one wanted to be bitten by this group of lunatics.
When Luo Ye saw Chen Yan standing next to Qin Shi, his eyes instantly burned with fire.
But soon, he nodded vigorously and gestured to Qin Shi to wait and see.
Qin Shi couldn't help but smile bitterly. Qin Shi had a good impression of Luo Ye, but because of Chen Yan, the two of them were destined to not be friends.
When the sea palaces in the periphery arrived at the Tenth Direction Palace, Craneshadow's celestial figure slowly appeared.
