Chapter 137 Uneasy.
"Why not support the Nizi family?" Yan Shifan said, "After all, it is legitimate and easier to get things done."
"I'll leave this matter to you..." Yan Song nodded and gave the order.
For him, it doesn't matter who he supports, because he is sure to get the money from Japan.
"Don't worry, Dad. This silver mountain must belong to our family." Yan Shifan stared at the map in front of him, his eyes shining.
How dare such a tiny country own a mountain of silver?
It's a criminal's law!
He slowly withdrew his gaze and, after gaining a general understanding of the plans of both the Yan Party and the Qingliu Party, Jiajing withdrew from the space of consciousness.
His cultivation had broken through the seventh level of Qi training, and continuing to practice would not yield much results. He waved his hand to remove the restrictions and formations in the inner room, then stood up and left the inner room and came to the reception room.
"Swish, swish." The sky outside the window was gloomy and the heavy rain formed streaks of rain that connected into one and covered the distant mountains.
"Sir!" However, not long after the restrictions and formations were removed, Liu Quan's voice was heard outside the inheritance pavilion.
"Thump, thump, thump." After a while, the sound of Liu Quan going up the stairs was heard at the stairs.
"Hey!" Looking at Jiajing who was sitting in the middle of the reception room, drinking tea on the couch, Liu Quan, who was covered in steam, smiled and waved his hand, cast a 'cleansing talisman' on himself, and walked forward and said:
"Congratulations sir, for coming out of seclusion and making another breakthrough in your cultivation!"
Liu Quan was not surprised at all that Jiajing successfully broke through to the seventh level of Qi training during his retreat.
After all, Jiajing's training speed is there. Five months have passed, and he has also received half of the flesh and blood of the 'Suan Niu' from the headmaster. It would be strange if he still cannot break through the seventh level of Qi training.
"A month ago, I went out of seclusion once, and learned from Old Song that you had started to clear the wasteland. Is it going well?" Jiajing did not say much in response to Liu Quan's compliment.
"Everything went smoothly, but there were still some minor troubles..." Liu Quan said, and then he recounted the whole process of clearing the wasteland with 'Wuqingshan' over the past five months.
"It seems that the White Horse Academy is behind this 'Wuqing Mountain'." After listening to Liu Quan's story, Jiajing was surprised.
This sect, which was composed entirely of female monks and hated male monks, actually had the power of an academy behind it. This was something Jiajing had not expected.
"At first, I also thought that this group of little girls came from a major clan in the Central Plains. After all, there are many factions within the major clans in the Central Plains, so it is understandable that some factions sent their juniors out."
Liu Quan also shook his head.
"Who would have thought that behind these little bitches is an academy that can rival Li Changqing's family? Judging from Li Changqing's attitude, he is also in the middle third meridian, or even the upper third meridian..."
"Hey!" Liu Quan suddenly leaned forward, "Sir, let me tell you an interesting story about the headmaster!"
Seeing his mysterious look, Jiajing's face widened slightly, and he said nothing, waiting for his next words.
"Some extraordinary things happened between the leader and the leader of 'Wuqing Mountain', Fairy Wuqing..." Then Liu Quan started talking with a gossipy look on his face.
"Purple Beast?" Jiajing was curious when he heard that Dugu Ying and Fairy Wuqing were cursed by the 'Purple Beast', a species left over from the wasteland.
"This purple beast is extraordinary," Liu Quan began to explain when he saw Jiajing was interested in it. "This 'purple beast' is a particularly magical ancient beast."
"A pair of purple flesh horns, just like our human race, will contain a magical power similar to the innate talent!"
"Sir, you should know that every cultivator's destiny actually has its own specific abilities," Liu Quan used himself as an example, "For example, my Jianzi can see through falsehoods and distinguish the true and false in people's hearts."
Jiajing recalled the first time in the dungeon of Heifengzhai, when Liu Quan took out his natal object and asked him if he was a spy.
"Sir, you may not understand. We humans have our own destiny in our sea of consciousness, but ancient beasts do not use this. Every ancient beast has its own innate magical power."
"These magical powers originate from the deepest part of the ancient beast's bloodline."
"Generally speaking, these talents can only belong to ancient beasts of a certain clan. For example, the master's natal beast is the 'Ancient Fire Elephant', and the innate magical powers it possesses are related to fire and enlargement."
“This is also called Dharmadhatu.”
"But the talents of ancient beasts cannot be inherited by humans, except for the Beast Taming Sect, after all, their skills are special. But even the Beast Taming Sect can only share, not own."
Jiajing listened carefully. Every time Liu Quan talked about the world of immortal cultivation, he would listen carefully.
"But this 'Purple Beast' is completely different," Liu Quan said, picking up the teacup and taking a sip, "This thing's talent can be plundered, it's in those fleshy horns."
“With the help of special elixirs and magic arrays, the innate magical powers contained in the flesh horns can be integrated with the cultivator’s life force.”
"Thus, the cultivator's innate ability will be enhanced. As for what this ability is, it depends on what innate magical power the Purple Horse Beast has nurtured."
"In addition, if the Purple Beast encounters a life-or-death crisis, it will launch a dying counterattack just like our cultivators self-destruct, and release a curse on the person who hurt it!" "And the power of the curse it releases is also related to its innate magical power. The stronger the innate magical power, the stronger the power!"
"So, the curse on the master and the Merciless Fairy is that they can hear each other's thoughts," Jiajing said, with a thoughtful look on his face, "If the complete magical power is also about peeking into each other's thoughts?"
"It should be like this," Liu Quan said, spreading his hands, "It's also the fault of the ruthless fairy, hey..." Liu Quan laughed sarcastically and said, "Originally, the leader subdued the 'Purple Beast' and said that he would help her remove the meat horn."
"In the end, she insisted on doing it herself, and the beast took the opportunity to attack her before she died. Considering her background, the leader had no choice but to rescue her, but of course, she got caught in the trap..."
"Huh," Liu Quan exhaled lightly, "A few days ago, Fairy Wuqing came to the headmaster and said that she wanted to go to the Central Plains to find the miracle doctor of the 'Immortal Doctor Sect' to remove the curse. I hope it goes well."
"Humph," Liu Quan suddenly snorted with a gloating laugh, his eyes full of sinister smiles, "That Wuqing Fairy is indeed beautiful, with a majestic appearance and graceful demeanor."
"Traveling alone in the Central Plains, how could a man and a woman not have some evil thoughts? And they can hear each other's thoughts and understand each other's minds. Tsk tsk, if the leader can take down that woman, hehe..."
Looking at Liu Quan's dreamy look, Jiajing smiled slightly, said no more, and looked at the heavy rain outside the window.
He was not too interested in the ways of men and women at the moment. As an emperor, he had no shortage of women. He just wanted to cultivate immortality and live forever.
"Oh, right," Liu Quan suddenly seemed to have thought of something, patted his head and said:
"Look at my brain, I actually forgot the important matter." Seeing Jiajing's inquiring look, he raised his hand and took out a jade token, "This was given to me by Li Changqing when I went to Yeshi a few days ago to thank him."
"He told me to hand this item over to you after you get out of the customs."
Hearing this, Jiajing calmly took the jade token from Liu Quan's hand and injected spiritual energy into it. After a while, a line of simple, plain golden words appeared out of thin air:
[Changqing is writing to you with all my heart, sincerely inviting you to come to Zixian Bookstore to meet up after you leave the retreat. I hope we can discuss literary matters and have a good conversation.]
"Invitation?" Liu Quan was stunned when he saw the short line of text on it, and then looked at Jiajing, "Sir, are you going?"
"Li Changqing's invitation is definitely not just a simple reunion," Jiajing said, putting away the jade card, "I think it should be about the trade route, or some business in the wild market."
"Then I will go with you, so I can take care of you," Liu Quan said with a serious look, "During the time when you were in seclusion, many murders occurred in Sifang City and the wild market."
“When the time comes, call the right guardian to come along. The left guardian has also recently started his retreat. Although the right guardian is only in the middle stage of foundation building, his skills are special. More people means more care!”
Hearing Liu Quan say this, Jiajing did not refuse.
I have learned from Li Changqing that this evil cultivator's hunting for the life of the cultivators is actually the result of factional struggles within the academy. I am afraid that the situation in the southeast of the Great Wilderness will not be resolved so quickly in a short period of time.
Moreover, it is very intriguing that the academy has not taken any useful measures since the wanted ultimatum was issued.
Now, the sect leader Dugu Ying is heading to the Central Plains to lift the curse. The strongest person in the sect is the left protector Dugu Xiong who is in the late foundation building stage, but the other party has also begun to retreat, leaving only Dugu Han who is in the middle foundation building stage.
The next day, the rain continued to fall, the sky was gray, and the entire Daming Immortal Sect was shrouded in rain and fog.
The rolling green hills in the distance, shrouded in rain, have lost their original fairy-like aura and instead have a sense of lifelessness.
This feeling was the first one that Jiajing had felt since he entered the world of cultivating immortals. He felt an inexplicable displeasure in his heart.
"Boom boom boom." Amid the vibrations in the air, Jiajing, accompanied by Liu Quan, set off towards Yeshi in a shuttle. Just like before, they were still the ones moving forward, while Dugu Han followed in secret.
"When we return from the wild market this time, we can invite Li Changqing to come back to the sect as a guest." Jiajing said as he turned his gaze away from the rain outside the window while sitting on the couch by the window in the shuttle cabin.
"Invite Li Changqing to return to the clan as a guest?" Liu Quan was stunned when he heard Jiajing say this. He looked at Jiajing in confusion, "Why?"
"Li Changqing's identity is not simple, and he is also a cultivator in the Jindan stage. On the way back, we will have a guarantee..." Jiajing's face was serious, and he had not relaxed his expression since he set out.
Looking at the sky full of continuous rain without any thunderstorm, I felt very irritated and unhappy.
In short, I just felt uncomfortable all over. Before leaving, I cast several "cleansing talismans" and my body always felt sticky.
"Sir, is there anything wrong?" Seeing that Jiajing was concerned about Li Changqing's cultivation and his return safety, Liu Quan's face became serious.
"I don't know," Jiajing shook his head, "I always feel uncomfortable physically and mentally. Maybe I'm overthinking it, but it's good to have more protection on the way back..."
Hearing Jiajing's words, Liu Quan also put away his relaxed attitude and said, "Every cultivator, because of their different innate abilities, will have some special talents after their cultivation deepens..."
"Perhaps it's not just an over-thinking. Maybe it's a warning from your innate talent."
"In any case, it's better to be careful!"
"..."
