In the years since Yao Yan left, Hai Bodong's strength has improved a lot and he has entered the level of Nine-Star Douhuang. In fact, his talent is not weak, but his past emotional knots have affected his cultivation speed and even brought him shackles, just like people sometimes doubt why they should study. In the same way, when you feel that there is no point in cultivation, the speed of cultivation will naturally drop sharply and even reach a bottleneck.
After Hai Bodong untied his knot, his strength improved quite a bit. He was even confident that he could break through to Dou Zong within ten years...but when compared with Yao Yan, the gap was a bit terrifying.
However, considering Yao Yan's monstrous talent, it seems normal that he has such a terrifying cultivation speed.
"Why do you start swearing at me as soon as we meet?" Yao Yan said with a smile, pretending to be dissatisfied on his face.
"It's really because your cultivation speed is too terrifying. I'm a little shocked." Hai Bodong smiled bitterly. He has never slacked off in the past few years, and his strength growth rate is not slow. However, Yao Yan's strength growth rate is really a bit confusing to him.
No one’s cultivation speed is getting faster and faster. After entering the Dou Wang and Dou Huang levels, the speed of cultivation will slow down, and can only be improved slowly over time.
Some people even take several years to improve their strength to one star.
Yao Yan was different. In less than three years, he had surpassed the lifetime cultivation time of others. In fact, his cultivation speed did not slow down, but became even more terrifying.
"Everyone is different. My physique is a little special."
Yao Yan chuckled. Family members know their own business. The cultivation speed of ordinary people is not qualified to be compared with that of the people of the imperial family. What's more, Yao Yan has also practiced the Burning Decree, a technique that can directly lead to the Dou Emperor. Naturally, the speed of cultivation is not something that ordinary people can understand.
Perhaps only those monsters who grew up with the Fighting Saint can compare with him.
Hai Bodong shook his head and did not continue the topic. Just as Yao Yan said, people are different. Comparing with Yao Yan would undoubtedly make him uncomfortable. He immediately raised his hand to invite Yao Yan into the house and asked, "How long will you stay this time?"
He knew that a monster like Yao Yan could not stay in the Gama Empire forever, especially since Yao Yan was still in the golden period of improving his strength. How could he waste his time in the Gama Empire?
"It will take at least one or two months, or at most half a year, and then I will go to Zhongzhou." Yao Yan said slowly.
"嘤嘤~"
Ling'er, who was lying on Yao Yan's shoulder, greeted Hai Bodong familiarly, with her big furry ears drooping and her big tail swinging lazily.
Hai Bodong smiled at Ling'er who greeted him, with some reminiscence in his eyes. In a blink of an eye, he had known Yao Yan for several years. The young boy back then has now become a qualified strong man.
"With your talent, you should indeed go to Zhongzhou." Hai Bodong nodded slightly and continued, "I also went to Zhongzhou when I was young. That place is full of powerful people, Dou Zong can be seen everywhere, and occasionally you can hear about the deeds of some Dou Zun."
He had a look of emotion on his face. If he had stayed in Zhongzhou, perhaps he would have found a new world now.
"Dou Zun are just some people with relatively strong strength. With Hai Lao's talent, it will not be difficult for him to reach Dou Zun in the future." Yao Yan said calmly.
"The Dou Zun realm is too far away. I will be satisfied if I can break through to the Dou Zong realm." Hai Bodong said with a smile. He has always been a very content person. He will not blindly pursue unrealistic goals, nor will he always rely on the help of others.
As they were talking, the two of them had already stepped into the house and started chatting about recent events.
Tengshan walked out of the house in small steps to prepare tea, cakes, etc.
"You now possess four kinds of strange fires?!" Hai Bodong's eyes were filled with shock. He swallowed his saliva involuntarily and felt his brain go blank. Although he was not an alchemist, he knew how precious strange fires were.
In just a few years, Yao Yan actually collected four kinds of strange fire. Why does it feel like a bunch of cabbages?
"I'm just lucky. There just happened to be three kinds of strange fire in the Black Horn Region. By chance, I was able to collect them all." As Yao Yan spoke, he raised his hand and condensed a wisp of sky-blue flame, which rose like clouds and mist. It was extremely dreamy and beautiful.
Hai Bodong looked at this wisp of fused strange fire and inexplicably felt a little cold all over. Although all the aura and temperature of this thing had been restrained by Yao Yan, he had no doubt that this wisp of fused strange fire was enough to seriously injure him or even kill him directly.
"Hmm~" Ling'er looked at the flames rising in Yao Yan's palm, her emerald green eyes showing a hint of excitement, and her hair slightly stood up.
Yao Yan noticed Ling'er's movement, so he put away the fused strange fire in his palm, then held Ling'er in his arms and stroked her gently to calm her frightened emotions. This little guy was typical, both green and greedy, and was completely different from the ordinary strange fire spirit.
"It's so terrifying..." Hai Bodong couldn't help but sigh.
At this time, footsteps were heard outside the house, and a moment later, a tall and charming woman walked in carrying a tray.
The woman was about twenty years old, wearing a tight bright red brocade dress. The noble brocade dress with gorgeous and fine workmanship just outlined her beautiful figure curves perfectly. The dazzling white long legs under the brocade dress made people feel a fiery impulse in their hearts. Her slender waist was tied with a silver belt, which highlighted the slender waist to the fullest.
This woman is full of charm and enchantment, just like a peach. You only need to apply a little force to squeeze out water.
Honey trap?!
Yao Yan looked at the person who came and immediately realized that this woman was deliberately arranged by Tengshan, but he did not feel any disgust in his heart. Beautiful women are extremely pleasing to the eye even if you just look at them.
"Fei Ya greets the Great Elder, Young Master." The woman's voice was soft and charming. She bowed slightly and placed tea and cakes on the table for the two of them.
After saying that, those charming peach blossom eyes glanced at Yao Yan, which was captivating.
Yafei?
When Yao Yan heard this familiar name, he was slightly stunned, and then took the tea she brought over. The other party did not stay for long. After serving the tea and pastries, she turned and left. Yao Yan, on the other hand, stared at her back with interest for a while.
"Why, are you interested in her? As long as you are not afraid of Queen Medusa causing you trouble, I can give this girl to you." Hai Bodong noticed Yao Yan's eyes and joked with a smile.
It is normal for young people to be moved by beautiful women.
Although Tengshan's method was low-level, it had to be said that it was very effective, especially for a passionate young man like Yaoyan. Hai Bodong would not mind if he could use it to further bind himself to Yaoyan, provided that Yaoyan did not object.
As for whether Ya Fei agrees...marriage between big families is a normal thing, especially for a woman as beautiful as Ya Fei, who is originally a tool to marry others.
Although Hai Bodong didn't like this kind of low-level method, he would not resist anything.
After all, this is a means of inheritance of a family and power. "There is no need for this. I will not stay in the Jia Ma Empire for long. We will talk about it if we are destined to meet again in the future~" Yao Yan smiled and shook his head. He did not refuse or agree, and then led the topic to the point.
"I have created a force in the Black Horn Region, called Heavenly Court. It is just a start-up and has reached a cooperation with Canaan College. There are more than a dozen Dou Huang masters in charge. In a year or two, there should be two Dou Zong masters. But I will go to Zhongzhou in a while, and now I need a manager. I want the Mitel family to take over... Don't worry about trouble. Most of the forces in the Black Horn Region have been wiped out by Heavenly Court."
"?!" The joking smile on Hai Bodong's face had not yet disappeared when he was stunned by the news.
What on earth did this kid Yao Yan do in the Black Horn Region? It’s only been a few years, and he’s already created such a big fuss.
"Ei Lao, what do you think?" Yao Yan said with a smile.
"...The Mittel family has no reason to refuse such a good offer, but are you sure?" Hai Bodong was silent for a moment and said in a serious tone.
"It was just casually set up to make some preparations for the future. You don't need to feel any pressure. To put it bluntly, even if the Heavenly Court in the Black Horn Region is gone, it will not affect me much. At worst, I can rebuild it in the future... But now that it has been created, there is no reason to abandon it." Yao Yan said softly.
It's so easy for you to say... Hai Bodong was silent, and then he thought of Yao Yan's terrifying talent for alchemy. With the other party's strength and alchemy skills, it would only take a sentence for him to create a stronger force in the future.
"What does the Miter family need to pay?" Hai Bodong pondered for a moment and said in a serious tone.
"You don't need to pay anything, just manage the Heavenly Court well. During this period, it would be best if you could set up an intelligence network and help me collect some special cultivation resources. The Black Horn Region is a place with many connections, and there are often some special treasures that may be useful to me in the future." Yao Yan said calmly.
"If you think it's okay, the Mitre family can agree to it." Hai Bodong is not a hesitant person. With such a great opportunity in front of him, there is no reason to refuse. Moreover, the development of the Mitre family in the Gama Empire has reached a bottleneck. If they want to break through, they can only look elsewhere.
It’s just that the Mittel family is too weak to reach too far.
Now that Yao Yan has given me an opportunity, how can I not seize it?
"I have faith in Hai Lao." Yao Yan raised his teacup and said with a smile.
He handed over the Heavenly Palace in the Black Horn Region to the Mitre Family because he wanted to see what the Mitre Family was capable of. In terms of management and development of power, the Mitre Family was quite good and had a strong spirit of contract, making them very suitable for cooperation.
And these are exactly what Yaoyan needs.
"I hope I won't let you down~" Hai Bodong smiled bitterly, his tone a little solemn.
"That girl named Yafei, you can try to let her manage the business. I think she is very talented."
Yao Yan's sudden words made Hai Bodong's expression stiffen. He even suspected that Yao Yan had fallen in love with Ya Fei and did this on purpose, but it seemed impossible.
"Are you really interested?" Hai Bodong asked with a strange look on his face.
"Too weak to withstand the torture~"
Yao Yan said calmly that with his current physique, a fighter could not withstand his torment. After all, Ya Fei's beauty was unquestionable, but her strength was too weak. How could a strong man choose a weak person as a partner?
"You think too much~" Hai Bodong muttered, obviously not expecting this.
Why can't you be gentler if you can't stand the hardship?
"How are you and Queen Medusa doing?" Hai Bodong suddenly asked curiously.
Yao Yan didn't say anything, he just raised his hand and shook it with a look of confidence.
Hai Bodong gave Yao Yan a thumbs up. It was interesting to think that the once notorious Queen Medusa was subdued by Yao Yan. However, with Yao Yan's talent and strength, this did not seem to be something difficult to accept.
He immediately thought of Ya Fei. This girl was too weak, so he would try to improve her strength. Maybe there would be a chance in the future...
At this moment, Hai Bodong also began to have evil thoughts and even wanted to use methods that he had never thought highly of before.
……
Yao Yan did not stay in the Mitel family for long. After chatting for a while, he got up and went to the Yunlan Sect, intending to meet Yun Yun. To be honest, he was more interested in Yun Yun than Ya Fei, but he had never had the leisure to do so in the past.
Not long after Yao Yan left, Teng Shan brought Ya Fei to the courtyard.
"Great Elder." Ya Fei bowed to Hai Bodong stiffly. The charm in her eyes faded a lot. With a hint of bitterness and helplessness, she bit her lips lightly, crossed her hands on her abdomen, and clenched her fists tightly.
"Great Elder, did that young master say anything?"
Tengshan asked with some anticipation, if something could happen between Yafei and that young master, it would undoubtedly be a good thing. After all, that young master's character was quite good. If he could marry Yafei, even if he was just a concubine, it would be extremely good for the future of the Mitel family.
"Don't use this kind of method too much in the future. Others can see it~" Hai Bodong frowned slightly, looked at Tengshan and warned.
It was fortunate that Queen Medusa did not come with him this time, otherwise he would not be able to protect Yafei. That woman is an evil star!
"I just want to try it." Tengshan said helplessly.
"No need to do that. He came back this time to cooperate with our Mitel family. He has established a force in the Black Horn Region called the Heavenly Court. It is very powerful, with more than a dozen Douhuang-level warriors. It also cooperates with the Canaan Academy. In the future, this force will be temporarily handed over to the Mitel family for management."
Hai Bodong spoke slowly, with a slightly complicated tone, because Yao Yan's move was really too big.
Tengshan and Yafei raised their heads with a look of disbelief in their eyes.
Hai Bodong didn't care about their emotions. After he finished speaking, he glanced at Ya Fei, frowned slightly, and said, "Your strength is too weak. Follow me to the Black Horn Region this time. The cultivation resources there far exceed those of the Gama Empire. I hope your strength can be improved."
Ya Fei looked at Hai Bodong with surprise and confusion.
"Then what does the young master mean~" Hai Bodong said lightly.
Yafei clenched her fists, and understood what Hai Bodong meant. It seemed that she was going to be kept by someone... (End of this chapter)
