However, if she uses this ability on Treasure Medicine and Spirit Plants, the effect will be greatly reduced. "No, it can’t stimulate growth at all!" Yu Qingyi said, standing beside a Three Yellow Plum, somewhat exhausted. Just now, she exerted too much force, depleting all the True Qi in her body. Yang Zhenshan helped her up while observing the Three Yellow Plum before him. "It’s not that it can’t stimulate growth, it’s just that you are too weak, not enough to make the Spirit Plant grow rapidly!" "Look, this leaf is already a circle larger than before, which shows that your ability is useful, just not very obvious!" "Perhaps once your cultivation is deep enough, you’ll be able to stimulate Spirit Plants!" Yu Qingyi leaned against Yang Zhenshan, looking at the leaves of the Three Yellow Plum, "Maybe, but I can feel the vast gap, like I’m pushing a huge mountain!" "Haha, don’t worry, take it slow, at least you’ve already comprehended the Tiaoist Intent!" Yang Zhenshan laughed. "Yeah!" Yu Qingyi was also happy. Tiaoist Intent, she never thought she would comprehend it so quickly. But her ability to comprehend Tiaoist Intent doesn’t mean her strength has reached the peak of the Innate Realm, in fact, she is still far from it. Not to mention her, even Yang Zhenshan is far from the peak of the Innate Realm. Mystical Mechanism, Ruwei, and Entering Tao, these three realms have no sequential order, only differences in difficulty of comprehension. Generally, Ruwei is the easiest to comprehend, Mystical Mechanism next, and Entering Tao the hardest. So most Innate Martial Artists can only comprehend Ruwei and Mystical Mechanism, reaching Entering Tao is very difficult. And these three realms have different effects on strength enhancement, undoubtedly, Entering Tao provides the greatest enhancement, Mystical Mechanism next, Ruwei the least. Yu Qingyi comprehended Tiaoist Intent within just two years with the help of the petals and lotus seeds of the Tiaoist Intent Sacred Lotus, but her cultivation in Mystical Mechanism and Ruwei is still very weak. Her situation is quite similar to Xue Qiaoer’s. Xue Qiaoer can harness ice and snow, but her real cultivation is only Half-step Innate. Of course, her cultivation is far stronger than Xue Qiaoer’s. The two studied for a whole night and set out again the next morning to the Martial God Temple. Martial God Temple is located on the east bank of the Cangyuan River. Although it’s called a temple, it actually has a huge city, and a very prosperous one at that. The source of the Cangyuan River is in the Tibet region of Great Rong, flowing through Yunling Town, Dongxu Dynasty, Canghe Dynasty, and Daluan Dynasty, eventually flowing into the Galuo Sea in the Peacock Dynasty. Martial God Temple has four affiliated dynasties: Daluan Dynasty, Peacock Dynasty, Jialuo Dynasty, and Yilan Dynasty. Daluan Dynasty is to the north of Martial God Temple, Peacock Dynasty to the west, Yilan Dynasty to the east, Jialuo Dynasty to the south, and the latter three dynasties are coastal. The farthest Da Rong’s sea merchants can reach is the Jialuo Dynasty, and it’s quite difficult to go beyond that. Because south of the Jialuo Dynasty, there’s a peninsula, and on that peninsula is another dynasty called the Nangga Dynasty. Da Rong sea merchants need to detour more than two thousand miles to bypass the Nangga Peninsula. The key issue is the Nangga Dynasty is extremely hostile to sea merchants, often attacking merchant ships in nearby waters. Therefore, Da Rong’s sea merchants transport their goods to the Jialuo Dynasty, where the merchants of the Jialuo Dynasty then transfer them by land to western ports for selling in other nations. At this time, Yang Zhenshan and Yu Qingyi stood under the Martial God City, awed by the majestic towering walls. "It’s probably ten zhang high!" Yu Qingyi said. "Yes!" Yang Zhenshan nodded. "Look at Martial God City, then look at our Star Moon Island, it feels like we’re from the countryside!" Yu Qingyi said. Yang Zhenshan’s lips twitched lightly, "How can you say that, disliking your own home!" ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩⁂𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢⁂𝔫𝔢𝔱 "Just tell me if I’m right, alas, you insisted on going to that small island, can’t we get a larger island?" Yu Qingyi felt some disdain for Star Moon Island. At first, she thought Star Moon Island was great: a peaceful little island, a place of their own, beautiful scenery. But after living there for over ten years, she found it somewhat boring and too peaceful. Yang Zhenshan pondered and said, "Then in the future, shall we occupy a larger island?" He was considering which of the surrounding islands of Star Moon Island would be suitable to occupy. The south is definitely not possible, that’s the territory of the Zhu family on Earth Fire Island, he couldn’t possibly seize the Zhu family’s territory. There are a few large islands to the west, about four to five hundred li away from Star Moon Island, a boat can make a round trip in a day, but that area is not unclaimed either. To occupy the eastern islands would inevitably require a big fight. Further east is the territory of Divine Wood Island, quite troublesome, they’ve been at odds with the Yang family for years. "We’ll talk about it later, let’s enter the city first and take a look!" Yu Qingyi was eager and began walking toward the city. Martial God City is indeed large, not just high and deep moated, even the outside of the city has a large number of residents. And Martial God City is very prosperous, even more so than the Great Rong Capital. A large number of ships docked on both sides of the Cangyuan River, countless coolies were responsible for unloading cargo at the docks, walking along the street towards the city, everywhere were bustling shops. Yang Zhenshan observed carefully and found the streets here were very clean, the pedestrians were also very robust, although some were of the lower class, it could be seen that their lives were still quite good. This indicates that Martial God Temple manages this place well, and the surrounding people’s lives are not bad. But when they reached the city gate, they encountered a problem, because Martial God City does not allow outsiders to enter. Non-Disciples of Martial God Temple cannot enter the city! "No wonder there are so many people living outside the city!" Yang Zhenshan said helplessly. "What to do? How about we force our way in?" Yu Qingyi was eager to give it a try. Yang Zhenshan felt his wife had been overly lively recently, "Forcing our way in might really lead to being besieged!" "Then!" Yu Qingyi smiled softly, "I have a way!" "What way?" Yang Zhenshan asked. Yu Qingyi did not answer, she went straight up and told the gatekeeping soldiers, "We are friends of Chai Wuji, here to visit Mr. Chai!" The soldiers were initially stunned, then looked Yang Zhenshan and Yu Qingyi up and down, "Friends of Elder Chai? May I ask your distinguished names!" "Yang Zhenshan, Marquis Jing’an of Da Rong!" Yu Qingyi pointed to Yang Zhenshan. "Please wait a moment, I will go and report!" Yu Qingyi blinked at Yang Zhenshan, who was somewhat speechless. We are clearly enemies of Chai Wuji, so how did we become friends of Chai Wuji? Yang Zhenshan thought that when Chai Wuji comes out, it’s likely there will be a big fight. The two were invited by the gatekeeping soldiers to a side courtyard, which seemed specifically prepared for receiving guests. The hospitality of Martial God Temple was quite good. Although they couldn’t enter the city, the courtyard outside the city was fully equipped. The two waited in a reception room, where a maid prepared tea, snacks, and fruits. "This place is quite nice, didn’t they say that Martial God Temple is currently at war with the Great Yue Imperial City? It doesn’t look like there’s any sign of war here!" Yu Qingyi said. Yang Zhenshan casually ate a piece of pastry and said, "Not necessarily, Martial God Temple’s war with the Da Yue Dynasty is also fought by the subordinate dynasties. Unless it’s a fight to the death, Martial God Temple shouldn’t personally intervene!" "Hmm, it seems the war between Martial God Temple and Da Yue Dynasty is still within a controllable range!" Yu Qingyi said. The two chatted, and after about half an hour, a not very familiar figure arrived in the reception hall. Aquiline nose, sinister face, giving off an unfriendly impression. The visitor was Chai Wuji. Chai Wuji saw Yang Zhenshan and then looked at Yu Qingyi, his expression became even uglier. "It really is you two!" Of course, he hadn’t forgotten Yang Zhenshan; after all, he almost got pierced to death by Yang Zhenshan once. Not to mention, Yu Qingyi had also killed several of his subordinates back then. "Brother Chai, long time no see!" Yang Zhenshan laughed heartily, stepping forward with pleasantries. "I suppose we can’t really be considered friends!" Chai Wuji’s face was exceedingly gloomy. "Ah, disagreements should be solved, not intensified. We might not have been acquainted if we hadn’t fought!" Yang Zhenshan didn’t feel awkward at all, saying with a laugh.
