I really became a king.

Chapter 606 One Year

Jiang Yi knew that in order to truly embark on the path of immortality, he must obtain the immortal seed, and to obtain the immortal seed, he must find a way to become an outer disciple.

"Madam, do you know how to become an outer disciple?" Although Li Chaosheng had already given him the answer, he still asked.

"I only know of one way, that is, from powerful forces like Prince Will in the secular world, every few decades, the Immortal Gate will select a group of people to grant them immortal seeds."

"Ordinary people can't?"

"Those immortal gates will not grant ordinary people these things. It seems to be related to some kind of luck."

Jiang Yi was somewhat unwilling. Did he have to return to the secular world and work hard to grow into a powerful force before it would be possible?

"Is there any way to return to the secular world?"

As if she understood what he meant, Madam Jiang shook her head and said, "You can't go back. Once you enter the Immortal Sect, you will become a menial servant. Unless you have a great opportunity, you will have the chance to be accepted into the outer sect."

"Do you know the origin of this Chief Steward Li from the Servant Mountain?" Jiang's mistress suddenly mentioned Li Chaosheng, but she didn't really ask Jiang Yi to answer, but continued:
"His ancestors were all servants of the Qingyun Sect. By his generation, it has been several generations... Once they became servants, they will be servants forever, generation after generation!"

After a moment of silence, Jiang Yi asked again, "What is Prince Will's current situation?"

Madam Jiang's expression suddenly turned a little cold: "Him? Such a good opportunity wasted."

As if he realized that he had lost his composure, he took a breath and said, "Because he is from a royal family and leads a large army, he has two choices.

One is to become an ordinary outer sect disciple, practicing in the sect all year round, just like other outer sect disciples."

"The second choice is to enter the Military Palace and become a military master. This is actually the path he should take. Qingyun Sect also arranged this for him. Unfortunately, in order to have more time to practice, he chose the first option."

"It's a pity that the 300,000-strong army should have been his capital to gain a foothold in the Immortal Sect, but in the end, most of them were given away, and the remaining 100,000 elite troops were also handed over to others."

Jiang's mistress was filled with hatred. Was this what they called "better with outsiders than with servants"? They had rescued each other from danger, but now the birds have all flown away and the good bows have been put away. How could this not make people feel disheartened?

The Lord of Arms? Well, just wait patiently, even if you have to become an old man, you have to wait.

Spring goes and autumn comes, and a year has passed.

Jiang Yi seemed to have given up his obsession with immortality, at least that was the view of Jiang's mistress. But she didn't say anything, and it was fine to just live an ordinary life.

After a year of maintenance, the originally shabby courtyard was now in good order. The pond outside the courtyard was also maintained very beautifully.

Over the past year, Mrs. Jiang has basically never stepped out of the courtyard, and just does some light work like sewing and mending at home.

Jiang Yi has only done one thing in the past year, which is blacksmithing. He even rarely goes back to the Manghuang Continent and Yinshan Realm.

As for the vegetable fields and ponds that were previously assigned to him to take care of, Li Chaosheng arranged for several servants to take turns to take care of them, so that Jiang Yi would have time to swing the sledgehammer and forge each piece of refining material.

Perhaps it was because he had practiced the Treasure Refining Technique in the Wild Continent, coupled with the blessing of the soul fire and iron furnace in his body, although he could not exert any power, he had an invisible blessing.

Ling Jiang Yi was adept at handling all kinds of materials. He spent at least ten hours out of the twelve hours a day swinging the hammer.

These were all refining materials that Li Chaosheng got from somewhere. There were all kinds of them, but they were very difficult to forge in the hands of other blacksmiths. But in Jiang Yi's hands, it only took a few days to forge them.

During this year, Li Chaosheng made a lot of money, which made him cherish Jiang Yi even more and hide Jiang Yi more carefully.

On this day, Jiang's mistress sat at the door of the courtyard's wing room, mending as usual, and Jiang Yi was swinging his sledgehammer as usual. In the whole courtyard, the only sounds were the hammering and the chirping of cicadas in the surrounding trees.

Li Chaosheng walked in with an expression of irrepressible excitement on his face.

"Manager Li, have you taken another concubine?" Jiang Yi paused. After getting to know him better, he realized that the biggest hobby of this middle-aged Manager Li was taking concubines, and he even had a whole bunch of children.

"Haha, that's why they say people feel refreshed when something good happens to them. You're right. It's a happy event, a big happy event!"

Li Chaosheng could hardly suppress the joy on his face: "You know what? I finally got a place as an outer disciple!"

Jiang Yi was stunned for a moment, and congratulated: "Then congratulations to Manager Li, the clouds have finally cleared and the moon is shining. From now on, there is a difference between immortals and mortals. I am afraid it will be difficult to see you again."

"In fact, it's mainly your credit. It's because of your extraordinary tempering skills that I was valued by a senior sister in the inner sect. This opportunity should have been yours."

Hearing the other party's sudden words, Jiang, who was sewing, raised her head in astonishment. But Jiang Yi just smiled.

"Don't you have any resentment in your heart?" I can feel that the person in front of me is as calm as water.

"Resentment? What is there to resent? Opportunities are destined by heaven. If it weren't for Manager Li taking care of me this past year, I might have been eaten by others without even a bone left."

Jiang Yi was not exaggerating. During this year, he witnessed with his own eyes several servants who were extremely talented in some areas being exploited to death.

It is precisely because there is no protection that everyone wants to squeeze out the maximum value, and the result is that the lamp is burnt out and the oil is exhausted.

"In fact, I can't protect you. The one who really protected you was the senior sister of the inner sect. In the final analysis, I was just benefiting from you."

Perhaps because he had finally realized the long-cherished wish of several generations of ancestors, Li Chaosheng suddenly became open-minded, which was also the reason why he came here today.

After Li Chaosheng left, Jiang Yi stood there in a daze. It took him a while to come back to his senses. He smiled bitterly and continued to swing the sledgehammer.

It was impossible for him not to have some resentment in his heart, but when he thought about it carefully, Li Chaosheng was really good to him. Although he had some calculations, he did not kill the goose that lays the golden eggs. So the resentment in his heart also dissipated.

"You are really open-minded..."

Madam Jiang could naturally feel that Jiang Yi had really let it go, and she couldn't help but sigh.

Just like that, another month passed, and during this time Jiang Yi suddenly became idle because Li Chaosheng did not send any more materials.

There was no other choice but Jiang Yizhi started to repair the pond outside the yard. He planned to surround the pond with stones.

Looking at the energetic Jiang Yi, Mrs. Jiang was helpless and could only follow behind and help.

"Are you Jiang Yi?"

Just when Jiang Yi was busy and sweating but working with full energy, a voice suddenly sounded behind him.

Jiang Yi looked back and saw a woman who looked very much like the Elf Queen in The Lord of the Rings standing about ten feet behind him.

"You are very good, but your original master is disappointing." The woman of unknown race was very elegant, as if she didn't need Jiang Yi's answer at all.
