LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 28: Heading to the Capital
“Immortal, it’s truly amazing that your carriage can travel a hundred miles in half an hour,” Wang Li didn’t know what to say at this moment, so he exclaimed in such a way.
Chen Xiyi didn’t want to disappoint the other party. Just fifty kilometers in an hour, this wouldn’t shock him to a heart attack if he had to take a high-speed train.
Although his carriage was very unscientific, in terms of speed, it was truly outperformed by science.
But Chen Xiyi was satisfied with his carriage, after all, how much technology was there in a high-speed train, and how much technology was there in his carriage?
It can be accurately said that there was absolutely no technology in it.
After all, this thing wasn’t a technological product.
“Well, it’s nothing,” Chen Xiyi replied calmly.
Along the way, they passed many cities and towns. He kept a close eye on the map, intending to see if any blue light spots appeared.
Unfortunately, after walking for so long, there wasn’t a single blue dot, only white dots.
This made Chen Xiyi a bit disappointed. Why were they so rare? He thought there would be many.
After all, historical legacies are supposed to accumulate after a long time, but why were there none at all? Fortunately, Chen Xiyi wasn’t angry; after all, some things couldn’t be forced.
‘I only wanted antiques. Why did it turn into this.’
Wang Li didn’t know what Chen Xiyi was thinking. He was thinking about the journey. At this speed, they would probably be able to return to the capital overnight, which was something he couldn’t dare to think about.
Traveling a thousand miles a day was something only found in ancient classics, let alone two thousand miles.
Thinking back, he had just arrived at Lingqu in less than a day and was now heading back to the capital, luckily he had spent several days before coming, otherwise, he might have been suspected by his own brother along with Cai Hai’s deception.
Sneaking a glance at the immortal Fuyaozi who looked like an ironclad weirdo, he couldn’t help but sigh inwardly. Things seemed a bit unexpected.
The Immortal was a true Immortal, he had witnessed his magical powers, so the floating water clouds written in Cai Hai’s letter were probably real too. In this case, allowing this immortal to enter the capital might not be a good thing or a bad thing.
It was good that this Fuyaozi was not without desires, but it was also bad that this Fuyaozi was not without desires.
What if he sets his eyes on the position under his brother’s buttocks? Chen Xiyi naturally didn’t know Wang Li’s thoughts, otherwise, he would definitely roll his eyes at him.
What use did he have for this thing?
To knock off and take away? Unless the position of the past emperor could be spiritualized into a fairy, otherwise he didn’t want this thing. The power in this world had no value to him at all.
The value of this world is not high, at most it can only help him replenish some non-renewable resources, but with a laboratory, as long as he has soil, he can transform these non-renewable resources at a little cost.
Although soil is also a non-renewable resource, the problem is that soil is everywhere, not rare. Chen Xiyi has saved up tens of thousands of units of soil, which is completely enough for his own use.
Therefore, what he needs has become items with historical legacies.
However, he didn’t disclose these things. Firstly, it was the limitation of the three great families. The other party might have enough status in Lingqu, but when it comes to the Great Li Kingdom, it’s not that significant.
So if he wants to obtain items with historical legacies faster, he needs to find a new partner, such as the Great Li Court.
In order to collaborate, he naturally had to find the highest-ranking and most powerful person to deceive.
Deceiving a hundred families from the Three Great Families of Lingqu was not as good as deceiving the Great Li Court.
By then, the entire country would search for what he needed much faster than the three families combined.
Through conversations with others, Chen Xiyi also discovered that the former emperor was not a foolish ruler, but a very capable one who not only suppressed the civil and military officials in the court but also oppressed the powerful families to the extreme.
It can be said that he firmly held all the power in his hands.
It was because of this that Chen Xiyi came up with this plan, as highly unified proof that it could efficiently mobilize various forces and resources, thereby reducing many unnecessary troubles.
“If I get another fairy, I can completely let Jianghu return to the backyard lake to manage it instead of protecting me by my side.”
“If Jianghu start pasturing the water veins, then resources like water will be continuously produced. When the water veins are pastured to a certain point, spiritual objects can be produced.”
“Maybe we can even raise dragons in the lake.”
Mastering the water veins of Jianghu is not a simple ability. It can not only adjust the aquatic ecosystem but also evolve various aquatic plants and animals. With the growth of pasturage time, each harvest could possibly acquire spiritual resources, which is what Chen Xiyi needed. And as these ecologies grow and multiply, they will gradually replace ordinary plants, animals, or materials.
This means that if Jianghu really pasture the lake behind the house to a mythical degree, then when Chen Xiyi fishes there in the future, he may catch not blue whales but giant fish or sea dragons, mythical creatures.
These were only revealed to Chen Xiyi as Jianghu gradually grew, uncovering his abilities.
Otherwise, before this, Chen Xiyi thought that Jianghu could only raise fish, not expecting it to have this function.
More importantly, Jianghu told him that he had even greater room for self-growth.
In addition to self-improvement, Chen Xiyi also needed subsequent cultivation, relying on these spiritual objects to create various tools, food, equipment, etc., to enhance the fairies.
Unfortunately, because Chen Xiyi was not good enough, this delay occurred.
After all, if he truly started operations, he would definitely not be able to leave Jianghu. If he left, all previous efforts would be in vain.
Without Jianghu, many of Chen Xiyi’s tricks would not be able to be implemented, so he could only continue with this for now.
Fortunately, Chen Xiyi lacked everything except time, so many things could be taken slowly. There was no rush.
Even if he directly had Jianghu pasture the water veins, it was not an easy task to do. This matter couldn’t be completed overnight and required a considerable amount of time. It was better to implement Chen Xiyi’s plan step by step for greater benefits.
“Immortal, we are about ten miles away from the capital.” Watching the scenery outside retreating continuously, Wang Li suddenly spoke up.
“I see, you arrange the follow-up matters.”
Chen Xiyi said casually. He looked at his small map and thought to himself, ‘I hope the capital has what I need; otherwise, it will be troublesome.’
