The next period of time.
Xu Lian was not idle either.
He believes that hard work pays off.
This is indeed the case, thanks to his hard work.
Yu Qingning's favorability rose from 90/100 to 91/100, allowing him to gain an advancement point. He added points to his rank, added the raw materials of limb grass, and advanced to the ninth level of the Huajin period.
Jiang Yunyan's favorability level broke through the 90/100 mark from 80/100, allowing him to gain another advancement point.
Miao Yueyue's favorability has increased from 75/100 to 80/100, and she is about to reach an advancement point.
Huo Xin'er's favorability increased from 70/100 to 75/100.
As for other beauties, since their favorability is already very high, it is difficult to increase it further. Just accompany them every once in a while and maintain stability.
This day.
Xu Lian still took Miao Yueyue shopping to cultivate their favorability. When he felt the purple jade token in his Qiankun bag move, he knew that the White Fox Guardian might have something to ask him.
He pulled Miao Yueyue to an empty corner, took out the purple jade token, concentrated his mind, and started voice transmission, "What does the garrison commander want to talk to me about?"
The purple jade card emitted the white fox's clear and crisp voice like a girl, "Imperial Capital."
Xu Lian's face changed, and he understood as soon as he heard it. It was probably that the royal family of You Dynasty had started to select a son-in-law for Sister Xiya!
This is an extremely urgent matter and there can be no delay. If he is late... he will want to die.
He immediately took Miao Yueyue back to House No. 5, and then rushed to the spiritual tree.
"Has the You Dynasty royal family selected a prince consort for Sister Xiya?"
As soon as he saw the white fox, Xu Lian asked hurriedly.
The white fox stared at him with its lively eyes. "It's really strange. You live on First Street, right under my nose. I haven't seen you practice hard, but you just hang out with a bunch of women every day. And yet you've reached the ninth level of the Huajin Stage. Could it be that you're mainly practicing the art of dual cultivation?"
"..." Xu Lian didn't know what to say. She had seen through it all. "To be honest, it is indeed a dual cultivation technique."
White Fox frowned, "No wonder your cultivation progresses so fast. The art of dual cultivation is not a great path, it can only be regarded as a side path. The speed of cultivation is indeed very fast in the early stage, but once it reaches the middle stage, the foundation will be unstable and the growth of cultivation will be weak. In the later stage, it will completely stop, or even have no later stage. Since ancient times, no one has ever been able to rely on the art of dual cultivation to become a top powerhouse."
Xu Lian bowed and said, "Thank you for your concern, Lord Garrison Commander. I know what's going on, but I'm just borrowing your help... Lord Garrison Commander, please tell me the news about the Imperial Capital."
Bai Hu couldn't say anything more, "There's news from the imperial capital that the royal family of You Dynasty has started to select a consort for your Li Xiya."
Xu Lian asked, "When does it start? Should I still be in time to go there now?"
The white fox glanced at him and said, "It's not too late, but it will be very difficult, so don't hold your hopes too high."
Xu Lian frowned, "Why? Is it that my cultivation level of Huajiu is not qualified to participate in the election?"
Bai Hu said slowly, "The royal family of the You Dynasty attaches great importance to the perfect royal bloodline that Li Xiya inherited. The scope of selecting a son-in-law is very wide. It is not only open to the top male geniuses in the imperial capital, but also male geniuses all over the world are eligible to participate.
Although not all the top male talents in the world want to establish a relationship with the You Dynasty royal family, there will definitely be some who will come, and one can imagine how difficult it is.
This is the top competition among the young generation, a battle for the top male talents of the young generation. How much hope do you think you have for reaching the ninth level of the Huajin Stage?"
Xu Lian's eyes turned red. "If the ninth level of Huajin period is not enough, then I will upgrade to the Grandmaster level! Is the Grandmaster level enough?"
Bai Hu pondered for a moment, "One must have at least Zong Wu's cultivation, and master the most advanced combat secrets, to be able to compete with the world's top young male geniuses."
Xu Lian was calculating quickly in his mind. He took Jiang Yunyan, Miao Yueyue, Huo Xiner and other beauties who had the hope of obtaining advancement points to the imperial capital. They could participate in the election and advance at the same time... It was not impossible for them to reach the fifth rank of the sect!
He doesn't have to worry about the secrets of combat, as the Holy Spirit Atlas is a fragment of the immortal arts obtained by the ancestors of the thirteen clans during their prime years of conquering the outer world. In their later years, the ancestors of the thirteen clans integrated all they had learned throughout their lives into the Holy Spirit Atlas to complete this immortal art, which is definitely the most top-level secret of combat.
“Have the rules for running for election been announced now?”
Xu Lian took a deep breath.
Bai Hu said, "It has been announced that if a male genius from a top power or a top family is willing to go to the imperial capital to participate in the selection of a consort, the You Dynasty royal family welcomes them very much. They can directly skip the preliminaries and preliminary rounds and enter the one-on-one elimination round.
There is no such preferential treatment for ordinary candidates. They need to pass the preliminaries and preliminary rounds to get a place in the knockout round. With your current level of ninth level cultivation, if nothing unexpected happens, it should not be difficult to pass the preliminaries and preliminary rounds.
The difficult part is the knockout rounds, where every one of your opponents is a top male talent of the younger generation."
"I understand. I'll rush to the imperial capital now!"
Xu Lian's eyes were determined. No matter how difficult it was, he would never give up Sister Xiya.
The white fox called him, "Do you know where the imperial capital is?"
"..." Xu Lian stopped, turned around and asked awkwardly, "Where is the emperor?"
The white fox was a little speechless. "The imperial capital is different from ordinary county towns and provincial capitals. It is not in the human world."
Not in this world
Xu Lian was incredulous, "Where is that?"
The white fox said, "It is located in the space-time crack within the You Dynasty. Its location is not fixed. It may be where the space-time crack appears.
So, it may be very far away, or it may be in Pingyang County or Luzhu Town.
You have to wait.
You can only find it when a space-time rift appears somewhere and then rush there."
Xu Lian was worried. "If it doesn't show up, won't I miss the chance to be the Prince Consort?"
White Fox said, "How could they miss it? Since the imperial family of the You Dynasty has issued an edict to select a prince consort, they will definitely find a relatively stable gap in time and space so that all the male geniuses in the world will have time to participate in the selection."
Xu Lian slapped his forehead. He was a little anxious and forgot about this. "If you have any information about the location of the capital of the You Dynasty, please let me know, Lord Garrison Commander."
that's all.
He waited anxiously every day because he missed Sister Xiya so much.
No matter how many beauties he has, Sister Xiya's position in his heart is irreplaceable. The only wife he recognizes as his first wife is Li Xiya, and the others are concubines. He just doesn't want to say it out loud for the sake of his favorability.
Six days later.
The Purple Jade Plate received the message from the White Fox Guardian, "A space-time rift appeared in Qifeng Mountain in Yuzhou Prefecture, and the Imperial Capital appeared."
Xu Lian immediately set off with Jiang Yunyan who had a 90% favorability, Miao Yueyue who had an 80% favorability, and Huo Xin'er who had a 75% favorability. These three beauties might provide him with advancement points in the near future, so he had to take them with him. Only by advancing while participating in the competition would he be able to compete with the world's top male geniuses.
As for the two sword disciples, Yun Conglong and Feng Conghu, there was no point in having them around, so he left them in Pingyang County to protect other beauties. After all, the White Fox Guardian had been practicing at the spirit tree and had no time to meddle in his affairs.
