Yan Liqiang opened his eyes and found himself still sitting cross-legged on the bed. The bed curtains and the environment in the room were silently telling him a message—this was Courtyard No. 67 on Tianqiao Peak of the Sword God Sect, which was his residence on Tianqiao Peak.
There was no light in the room, only moonlight pouring in from the window, indicating that it was late at night outside. Outside the window, the sound of insects chirping in the yard could be heard, making the room seem particularly quiet.
Nothing in the room had changed at all. Yan Liqiang glanced at the clepsydra water clock in the room. The time on the clepsydra water clock was exactly three quarters past three in the morning.
If I remember correctly, this time was exactly the moment when I entered the Heavenly Dao Divine Stone. It seems that Fu Guang was right. After I left, the time here really stopped, just like a game save.
Yan Liqiang closed his eyes and looked inward into his sea of consciousness. He discovered that there was also a portal deep in his sea of consciousness. However, the portal in the sea of consciousness at this moment was round, not diamond-shaped, just like what he had seen in the Temple of Heavenly Dao.
Yan Liqiang got up from the bed and walked to a bronze mirror in the room. He looked at the handsome face in the mirror, rubbed it, smiled at himself, then opened the door and walked to the corridor outside the room.
Courtyard No. 67 of Tianqiao Peak is a small courtyard with a separate entrance and a separate household. The courtyard is divided into two floors. Yan Liqiang lives upstairs, while Gu Zexuan and Zhao Huipeng live downstairs. There is a separate balcony on the corridor outside Yan Liqiang's room. Tonight, the moon is bright like a wheel. Yan Liqiang came to the balcony and looked at the 36 peaks with different postures within a thousand miles under the moonlight. He felt that everything in front of him was too magical and poetic.
Before, he had never thought that such a world was actually the Heavenly Dao Divine Realm created by the Heavenly Dao Divine Stone. In a sense, according to Yan Liqiang's understanding, this Heavenly Dao Divine Realm could be equivalent to a parallel world.
"According to the time here, today should be April 7th of the 17th year of Yuanping in the Han Empire..." Yan Liqiang muttered to himself, feeling a little excited.
If the time in the Heavenly Dao Divine Realm was the same as the time in the real world, Yan Liqiang would not be so excited. What made Yan Liqiang excited was the time difference between the Heavenly Dao Divine Realm and the real world.
The time in the Heavenly Dao Divine Realm is now April 7th, the seventeenth year of Yuanping in the Han Empire.
As for the time in the real world where he was, the night when he advanced to a warrior was the 26th day of November in the twelfth year of Yuanping in the Han Empire.
The time difference between the two worlds is 4 years, 4 months and 11 days.
Because when you are in one world, the time in another world cannot be frozen forever, so the time difference between the two worlds will be flexible based on the present.
Plus the 7 days of flexible time, that is to say the time difference between the Heavenly Dao Divine Realm and the real world, can be reduced or increased by 7 days on the basis of 4 years, 4 months and 11 days. The range of the time difference between the two worlds is a minimum of 4 years, 4 months and 4 days, and a maximum of 4 years, 4 months and 18 days. If this time range is exceeded, or if one is killed in the Heavenly Dao Divine Realm, then this Heavenly Dao Divine Realm will collapse.
If I had known what would happen three days earlier, I would have been rich and prosperous for thousands of years. In the past four years or so, things that have not happened in the real world have indeed happened in this world.
In the past few years, the northern border of the Han Empire began to become turbulent again. The army of the Han Empire and the Chaman people started fighting again. In the west of the Han Empire, in Yan Liqiang's hometown, on the border between Ganzhou and Fengzhou, the relationship between the Han Empire and the Black Jie people also became tense, and there were occasional frictions. Outside the Han Empire, four or five vassal states of the Han Empire broke off relations with the Han Empire and joined the New Moon Dynasty. Inside the Han Empire, the White Lotus Cult began to revive and wanted to establish the White Lotus Kingdom. It was causing quite a stir in the south of the Han Empire...
These were all news that Yan Liqiang had known before. Originally, Yan Liqiang did not care much about these national affairs and only understood them at most. But at this moment, looking back at what happened, the meaning was completely different.
In this sense, the Heavenly Dao Divine Realm is a window for Yan Liqiang to understand all changes in the Han Empire in the next four years. The value of this alone is difficult to estimate.
In addition to understanding the future, another function of the Heavenly Dao Divine Realm for Yan Liqiang, who has become a disciple of the Sword God Sect, is that he can learn advanced secrets and classics here. The door of the Sword God Sect, one of the four major sects in the world, has been completely opened to him at this time. Such an opportunity is what many people dream of but cannot get.
If the Heavenly Dao Divine Realm is regarded as a game, then the rewards of this game are really too generous.
Therefore, no matter what, we must become stronger and survive in this world manifested by the Divine Realm of Heaven.
Yan Liqiang secretly made up his mind.
At this time, it was still dark, but Yan Liqiang was no longer sleepy. The balcony was both spacious and secluded, so he simply started his morning lessons on the balcony.
After finishing the morning class, Yan Liqiang stretched his body vigorously and punched twice slowly. Gu Zexuan and Zhao Huipeng downstairs had almost woken up, walked out of the room, and came to the yard outside to prepare for morning exercises.
“Ha, Boss, you got up early today…” Gu Zexuan looked up and saw Yan Liqiang on the balcony. He smiled and greeted Yan Liqiang. In the more than two months since they came to Tianqiao Peak, the two of them had become more fluent in calling Yan Liqiang Boss.
"I just got up not long ago and was stretching my body!" Yan Liqiang smiled.
"How about we practice together? I haven't seen your skills yet..."
“Okay…” Yan Liqiang did not refuse. While saying this, he jumped directly from the balcony on the second floor. His body flipped in the air like a nimble ape, and he landed flexibly in the yard below, standing steadily.
Just this one action scared Gu Zexuan, and Zhao Huipeng also stared at Yan Liqiang. Although the balcony on the second floor was not very high, only about four or five meters, at this height, Gu Zexuan and Zhao Huipeng could also jump down without getting hurt. However, their movements could not be as easy and flexible as Yan Liqiang's.
With just one action of jumping down from the second floor, the level displayed by Yan Liqiang was already far behind the other two, and the difference in strength could be seen at a glance.
"Boss, you... have advanced to a warrior?" Gu Zexuan asked in surprise.
"Well, I just advanced a few days ago, and it's only in the past two days that I've become a little more stable..." Yan Liqiang said modestly. Before, Yan Liqiang advanced to a warrior, but he didn't tell anyone for fear of attracting attention. But now, Yan Liqiang no longer needs to hide anything.
"Boss, you're awesome!" Zhao Huipeng looked at Yan Liqiang with complete admiration.
"No need to say more, come on..." Yan Liqiang took a starting stance.
Gu Zexuan and Zhao Huipeng looked at each other, and then both shook their heads like rattles.
…
After finishing the morning exercise, the three of them came to the cafeteria of Tianqiao Hall and had a hearty breakfast. When they finished breakfast, it was already Chenshi. Yan Liqiang took Gu Zexuan and Zhao Huipeng to the warehouse to count the things that were leaving the warehouse. When they finished all this, it was already Sishi. Yan Liqiang had finished his morning work.
"Boss, the price of local vinegar is expected to go up in the next two days. I used the trick you mentioned and found a few people to help me. I have been holding back the goods and selling a few small bottles every day. It really works. Now a bottle of local vinegar is sold for two taels of silver, and the demand still cannot meet the supply. According to this trend, in ten days or so, the batch of local vinegar we cooperated with Huo Bin and others will be sold, and we will definitely make a lot of money. I have been a little worried about those guys these days. I want to take a look at our goods today to remind them not to play any small tricks..." As soon as the warehouse door was locked, Gu Zexuan leaned close to Yan Liqiang's ear, winked and whispered.
"Well, go ahead..." Yan Liqiang smiled, "This price has almost reached its limit. We should stop while we are ahead. When you see Huo Bin, tell them that you can reserve the vinegar now. The earlier you reserve, the cheaper the price will be. The later you reserve, the higher the price will be. You must pay the full amount before you reserve. As long as you spread the news, you can do as you say, give some discounts in the early stage and reduce the discounts in the later stage. We can collect the money in advance and don't have to wait for more than ten days. The goods can be delivered in more than ten days..."
Gu Zexuan had already been in awe of Yan Liqiang's business methods. When he heard that Yan Liqiang had solved the problem in just a few words, he rubbed his hands in excitement, "It's rich, it's rich, it's rich now..."
"Just to earn some pocket money..." Yan Liqiang smiled, "Remember to save some vinegar, we'll need it on Tianqiao Peak..."
"No problem, of course I understand this!"
"I can't help you with this, so I'll go practice martial arts..." Zhao Huipeng said, scratching his head.
The place where Zhao Huipeng practiced martial arts every day was still the same vegetable garden. While practicing martial arts, he was guarding the remaining vinegar from Yan Liqiang and the others, which made people feel at ease.
"go Go… "
Seeing the two people leaving Tianqiaotang, Yan Liqiang put away the key to the warehouse and walked towards a courtyard in Tianqiaotang.
In that yard, Yan Liqiang met the elderly Deacon Huang. Yan Liqiang reported to Deacon Huang in a proper manner about the morning's warehouse delivery, and then asked Deacon Huang for any instructions and instructions.
Ever since Yan Liqiang came to Tianqiao Hall, he has always been respectful to the elderly Deacon Huang, without any arrogance. Deacon Huang is naturally very satisfied with such a young man who knows how to respect his elders, and his eyes when looking at Yan Liqiang have become softer and softer.
"Well, there's nothing to tell you. I'm at ease with you doing the work..."
"There are still more than 30,000 kilograms of crude iron in the warehouse, which cannot be used up within a week. The crude iron from this afternoon does not need to be put into the warehouse. I have already notified everyone..."
"Well, okay!" Huang Zhiyi drank his tea and nodded with satisfaction.
"Then Li Qiang will take his leave!"
"Go ahead, make good use of your time to practice. These things are just trivial matters. Practice is the right path. Don't be delayed..." Deacon Huang said with emotion.
"I have one more thing to trouble you with, Deacon Huang. I would like to request to see Hall Master Su. Please inform him and see when Hall Master Su is available!"
"What do you want to see Hall Master Su about?" Deacon Huang was stunned.
"I have advanced to the rank of warrior, so I would like to meet with Hall Master Su and ask him to approve a note so that I can go to the Sutra Hall to select secret books for cultivation..." Yan Liqiang said shyly.
