Kyoto, Great Wei.
The figures of two Daoist priests slowly appear.
An old man and a young man.
The old Daoist had chicken skin and crane hair, but his demeanour was spiritual and he looked Daoist and immortal.
The young Daoist, on the other hand, looked very handsome, with his hair tied back and falling, attracting a lot of attention.
“Ziying, later on you will have an audience with the Empress of Great Wei, remember, when facing the Empress, don’t look like no one in sight.”
The old Dao spoke, his tone calm.
“Don’t worry, Master, although my apprentice is a bit arrogant and proud, he will also distinguish the occasion.”
“However, my apprentice will not say anything flattering either, I hope Master understands this.”
The man called Zi Ying replied thus.
His gaze was filled with pride.
Hearing these words, the old Taoist could not help but sigh and said.
“You, ah you, just don’t understand the human condition, your bones are full of arrogance, sooner or later you will suffer.”
The old Dao said so, but it wasn’t really a reproach, it was to teach a lesson or two.
“As long as one is strong enough, there is no need for human feelings.”
“Master, you are getting old.”
Lu Ziying said indifferently, his tone of voice all but audibly thick with arrogance.
When this was said, the old Taoist could not help but sigh slightly.
“You, ah you, just haven’t met one with better qualifications than you.”
The old Dao said so.
And when Lu Ziying heard this, he could not help but continue to say.
“Master, it is not that my apprentice is boasting, my apprentice’s qualifications are known as the number one heavenly talent in the Immortal Dao, and my ancestor once said that I have the qualifications to become an immortal.”
“It is only difficult to find someone in this world who can surpa*s my apprentice’s qualifications, so there is no need for my apprentice to do anything humane.”
“Only the weak will go to the trouble of pleasing others.”
Lu Ziying was incomparably arrogant.
But when this was said, the old Taoist could not help but let out a bitter laugh, for Lu Ziying was right.
Lu Ziying was indeed the first person in the Immortal Dao. He was only twenty-four years old and had already entered the Fourth Grade Upper Clear Realm.
That was why Lu Ziying could also say this.
“Don’t be too happy, don’t be too early, know that there is heaven beyond the sky and mountains beyond the mountains.”
The old Taoist spoke, still educating a sentence.
And Lu Ziying did not reply, obviously he was tired of hearing such words.
“By the way, Master, what exactly is the reason for you to come to Great Wei Kyoto on purpose?”
Lu Ziying said curiously.
“Two things, one thing is a trip to find Yun Yan, her master asked me to bring something to her.”
“The second thing, on the other hand, is to meet with the Great Wei New Saint, there is something that I may need his help with.”
The old Taoist replied, making Lu Ziying a little curious.
“The New Saint of Great Wei? Is it Xu Qingnian, who the world has been talking about recently?”
Lu Ziying asked.
“En, it is exactly him.”
The old Taoist nodded.
“Asking for his help? My disciple has heard of him, he entered the Fifth Grade Great Confucian Realm a few days ago, he can only be described as okay, the title of Great Wei New Saint is a bit exaggerated.”
Lu Ziying was a little surprised, his master was the head of the Taishang Immortal Sect, Daoist Wudu, with a very high status, but he had never thought that he would personally come to Xu Qingnian to ask for help?
One must know that the Tai Shang Immortal Sect was one of the Seven Great Daxian Sects in the Dust Realm, with a long history of three thousand years, back when Emperor Tai Zu of Great Wei established Great Wei, there was a shadow of the Tai Shang Immortal Sect ah.
That’s why he was so surprised. As for his evaluation of Xu Qingnian, Lu Ziying didn’t despise him, but he felt that Xu Qingnian had been exaggerated a bit.
This was normal, geniuses all disagreed with each other, especially the top group of geniuses.
“Alas, I told you to read more books before, but you refused to do so, you had to go herd cattle for fun, Confucianism is a completely different system from the Immortal Way.”
“The difficulty of a fifth grade Confucian is harder than even the fourth grade of the Immortal Dao, especially since this person Xu Qingnian has only been enrolled for half a year.”
“Ziying, how long has it taken you to achieve the fourth grade of Shangqing?”
Daoist Wudu wanted to use Xu Qingnian’s name to suppress his disciple, so that he would not be so arrogant.
However, Lu Ziying did not care, but continued to say proudly.
“Ten years.”
“But the first five years are for bone shaping.”
Lu Ziying replied, but added extra that he was shaping his bones for the previous five years, otherwise, five years would be enough.
“Yes, you’ve been cultivating the Immortal Dao for five years, and you’re only at the fourth rank.”
“He has been practising the Confucian Dao for half a year and is already a fifth-ranked great Confucian, how big is the gap between you?”
Daoist Dustless asked rhetorically.
“Fourth rank is fourth rank, fifth rank is fifth rank, where is anything harder than anything else, besides, if I were allowed to practise the Confucian Dao, perhaps I wouldn’t be worse than him.”
“But let him practice the Immortal Dao, can he be five years of the fourth rank?”
Lu Ziying said so.
This was clearly being stubborn.
“That’s not necessarily true, what we cultivators of immortality value most is qualification, he has six months and five grades of Confucianism, maybe he really has the talent to cultivate immortality.”
Daoist Wudu said so, but soon he saw that Lu Ziying was still a bit unconvinced, so he spoke out and interrupted his opponent.
“Alas, forget it, I won’t talk to you anymore, in short, curb some of your arrogance, you can be as arrogant as you like on the mountain, but keep a low profile when you get off the mountain.”
There was nothing more to be said by Daoist Wudu, his own disciple was so arrogant, there were good and bad things, it was normal for young people to be arrogant, as long as they were not arrogant.
Lu Ziying didn’t say anything more, in fact he didn’t have any ill feelings towards Xu Qingnian, it was just pure competitiveness.
After all, who wouldn’t want to be number one in the world?
With that, the two figures walked towards the capital of Great Wei.
And at the same time.
Great Wei Kyoto.
Shouren Academy.
Boom boom boom!
Boom boom boom! More, of
There was something odd about the entire Shouren Academy, with loud noises coming from Xu Qingnian’s room from time to time, and if Xu Qingnian had not previously instructed not to let anyone in, the crowd was tempted to open the door to see what Xu Qingnian was doing.
“Senior brother, what’s wrong with sir?”
At this point in time, the Shouren Academy was no longer alone, since Xu Qingnian had the qualifications of a new saint, he had indeed attracted many readers to follow him.
There are no seventh-grade clear ideals, five body cultivation realms, more than thirty enlightened, hundreds of qi-raising, and many readers who have not entered the grade, except that for those who have not entered the grade, Xu Qingnian has one condition.
It is that they need to understand the study of the heart and can come to listen to Li Shouming’s lessons every day, and then Li Shouming will review them, and if they can answer, they can be admitted, but if they can’t answer, they can forget it.
The purpose of this is to eliminate those who want to climb up the social ladder, but not really come to study.
What Xu Qingnian needs now is elites, not numbers, in terms of quality rather than quantity.
The crowd stood in the middle of the Shouren Academy, all looking curious.
Even Yang Hu and the others were very curious.
It was Chen Xinghe who walked out and said with a calm face.
“Senior Xu is a future new saint, he became a great Confucian four days ago, and is now in the process of securing his Confucian position, so it is normal for him to cause a vision.
Chen Xinghe spoke up and said so.
As soon as he said this, the crowd was suddenly enlightened.
“Senior uncle is right.”
“So that’s how it is, senior uncle is really talented and knowledgeable.”
Once they heard this, the crowd came to a clear understanding.
They felt that what Chen Xinghe said was very reasonable.
However, inside Xu Qingnian’s room.
An aura of blood filled the room.
He had already swallowed the Seventh Grade Realm Breaking Pill and was in the process of striking the Seventh Grade Realm.
A martial artist’s tenth grade nourished his body, the ninth grade condensed his veins, and the eighth grade Dantian.
The seventh grade, on the other hand, was the ‘Disembodied’ realm.
The ‘Stripped Bone’ realm.
Upon reaching this realm, the flesh and body would be completely transformed, the bones and blood, the flesh and skin, would all complete an extreme metamorphosis.
Once the transformation is successful, there will be incredible changes.
For example, a martial artist of the eighth rank can hold his breath in the water for at most half a quarter of an hour.
A seventh-grade martial artist, however, can hold his breath in the water for an hour.
An eighth-grade martial artist can jump up to two or three metres, which is still within the range of an ordinary person.
But a seventh-ranked martial artist can reach tens of metres with a long jump.
If an eighth-ranked martial artist is cut by a knife, the skin will still break and bleed.
A seventh-ranked martial artist who is cut by a sword will not be hurt at all, and an ordinary flame will not be able to burn him.
The ability of an eighth-grade martial artist is almost as if he or she must vomit within one hundred and eighty breaths.
A seventh-ranked martial artist’s ability is that he will not vomit for an hour, and it is entirely within his control whether he wants to vomit or not.
This is the difference between seventh-grade martial artists, and there is a huge difference in essence.
Everyone in the world wants to become a seventh-grade martial artist, but it is extremely difficult to become a seventh-grade martial artist.
This is why it is said that the seventh rank is a watershed.
After the Seventh Grade comes the Sixth Grade Dragon Transformation Realm.
One rank, one heaven.
Boom boom boom.
Another boom boom boom sounded as Xu Qingnian’s fleshly body metamorphosed and a layer of blood qi filled his body.
The blood qi then disappeared into his body, and wisps of black qi were repelled out.
An hour later.
Xu Qingnian’s flesh was like that of a baby, smooth and tender and white, with a strong blood energy.
Click, click, click.
Xu Qingnian jumped off the couch, his bones vibrating, his body gathering extremely powerful strength.
A martial artist’s ascension had a substantial feeling, unlike Confucianism, where ascending in rank was actually just like that, just like ordinary people.
However, when a martial artist was raised to the seventh rank, Xu Qingnian could actually feel the increase in power.
With his five fingers balled up in a fist, Xu Qingnian blasted towards the desk.
Bang!
The wooden desk instantly burst, Xu Qingnian did not use any hint of true qi, this was the might of his fleshly body, generating fist power that was fierce and incomparable.
“With my current strength, a single punch could have blown away the previous me ah.”
“The power of a martial artist is surprisingly so terrifying, this is only the seventh rank, what if it was the first rank? Wouldn’t it have to destroy the heavens and the earth?”
Xu Qingnian smacked her lips a little.
This combat power was too strong, it was only a mere seventh grade, and it could do this.
If it was the first rank, wouldn’t it be a fist that shattered the void?
As for the martial artist system, Xu Qingnian was really extremely vague, as if the Huai Ping County King was a fifth grade martial artist with great perfection, his strength was very strong, but also very vague, without a concrete feeling.
Now when he had elevated himself to the seventh rank, Xu Qingnian inexplicably felt that he was really arrogant, disliking a fifth rank martial artist in anger, luckily the Huai Ping County King had some brains, but if he had been a little more reckless, he might have died.
Thinking of this, Xu Qingnian could not help but admonish in his heart that in the future, he should ask people about their realm before disliking them.
Lest you get blown to death with a single punch, it would be a blood loss.
Xu Qingnian thought so.
However, the reason why King Huai Ping did not kill Xu Qingnian was not because he was cautious and prudent, but because he could not kill him.
How many powerful people were there in the capital of Wei? Not to mention the eight gates of the capital army and so on, just the people living in the city of Kyoto.
If they can reach this level, how can their martial arts realm be inferior?
It’s just that they don’t show it on a regular basis, and Xu Qingnian didn’t ask.
But if the County King of Huai Ping really wanted to kill Xu Qingnian, would these state princes and lords look on with bated breath?
Even if the lords of the state were to look on, there are first-rate martial artists in the capital of Great Wei.
Such an existence could appear ten thousand miles away with a single thought.
There were two First Grade Martial Artists in Great Wei, so unless the Empress wanted to let herself die, there was really no one within Kyoto who would dare to kill Xu Qingnian.
“Kid, now you know the strength of old me, right?”
It was also at this moment that Dan Shen Gu Jing’s voice rang out as he waited for Xu Qingnian to break through and then asked in a voice.
“Many thanks, senior.”
Xu Qingnian bowed towards the Dan God Ancient Scripture.
This feeling of being high on pills and upgrading was really cool.
Otherwise, according to his current situation, a fifth-grade Confucian, there was no way to grow his cultivation by relying on foreign arts, not to mention normal cultivation.
Every decades don’t want to break through to the seventh grade, now it only takes a few hours, how can this not make him happy?
“Kid, the ingredients for the Sixth Grade Breaking Pill, should we talk about it now, or wait for some days?”
Dan Shen Gu Jing asked.
“Senior say now, so that junior can prepare.”
Having tasted the sweetness, Xu Qingnian was naturally unwilling to delay.
“The ingredients for the Sixth Grade Realm Breaking Pill, remember, you only need four of them, the Seven Leaf Parallel Blood Lotus, the Little Luo Fruit, the Ten Thousand Year Bodhi Seed, and a Pill King, any kind of Pill King will do.”
Dan Shen Gu Jing informed Xu Qingnian of these four ingredients.
It was just that when Xu Qingnian heard that it was these four medicinal ingredients, his entire person could not help but look out of shape.
The first three were fine, he had some impression that they were extremely precious, but they were all within the acceptable range, but a Pill King, Xu Qingnian could not accept.
What is the King of Medicines? The king of pills, it was something that could renew life, at least for a hundred years.
No matter what your current state is, or whether you are poisoned or not, as long as you swallow a Pill King, you will be immune to all diseases, prolong your life, and forcibly renew your life for a hundred years.
There is a market for this stuff, and no one will buy it for 100,000,000 taels of silver.
After all, it would renew life for a hundred years, couldn’t the eight merchants get 100,000,000 taels out of it?
Of course with something like the Pill King, you can only eat one strain in a lifetime, unless you can find a higher quality divine medicine, otherwise a person would be immune to eating one strain of the Pill King.
But it still didn’t stop the Pill King from being worth a fortune.
For a sixth-grade boundary-breaking pill, it was outrageous to ask for one Pill King.
The remaining three herbs were also very precious, but they were all within the acceptable range.
This Pill King, he couldn’t top it!
“Little friend, you are wrong, although the herbs are indeed precious, but breaking the realm, ah, think about it, an ordinary martial artist who wants to break through from the seventh grade to the sixth grade, can do it without seven or eighty years?”
“Some poorly qualified martial artists won’t be able to break through to this realm for the rest of their lives, a realm-breaking pill can allow you to reach the sixth grade instantly, it’s a bargain any way you put it.”
Dan Shen Ancient Scripture brainwashed.
However Xu Qingnian was not stupid, you said that he could accept the first three herbs, but a Pill King he could not do, he simply could not do it.
This was simply forcing people to do it.
“Senior, junior understands all the reasoning, it’s just that it’s too precious, let alone anything else, even if I were sold I wouldn’t be able to get a Pill King.”
Xu Qingnian replied seriously.
It was impossible to let the Dan Shen Ancient Scripture hold everything, there was always a bargain to be made.
“Aren’t you now the Servant of Great Wei? Doesn’t the Empress particularly admire you? Can’t you get this too?”
The Dan Shen Ancient Scripture was somewhat curious.
“Senior, I’m the Servant of Great Wei, it’s not like Great Wei is mine, the Pill King won’t work, I can’t get it at all, senior you can change to something else.”
Xu Qingnian was serious, he was not joking.
“In this way, I won’t say much, as long as you get these materials, I will not only give you the realm-breaking pills, but by the way, I will also help you refine realm-solidifying pills of one to six grades, how about that!”
Dan Shen Gu Jing said so, the medicinal materials could not be less, but was willing to give away one to six grade Realm-Solidifying Pills as a gift.
Hearing this, Xu Qingnian nodded slightly, although it still didn’t change how precious the Pill King was, but at least it gave something away, one really had to exchange a Pill King for a Realm Breaking Pill.
Xu Qingnian really couldn’t part with it.
It was just that Xu Qingnian wanted to continue bargaining, but the Dan God Ancient Scripture spoke up.
“Little friend, you should try it first. How do you know if you can get it without trying? What if you do get it? If you do get it, a pill king won’t mean much to you.”
“With your current situation, at the seventh grade realm, you can live up to one hundred and fifty years old, and when you reach the sixth grade, you might be able to live up to two hundred years old.”
“Of course that’s only you, no one else can, so a Pill King won’t help you much in terms of a short period of time.”
“Listen to me.”
Dan Shen Gu Jing didn’t have to persuade Xu Qingnian with bitterness, but instead let Xu Qingnian look for it first, it wasn’t like he had to find it today.
“Alright.”
Xu Qingnian sighed, let’s look for it first, there was indeed no rush for a day or two.
But a problem had arisen.
The Pill King had been moved on the sixth grade realm-breaking pills, what if this was a fifth, fourth, third, second, or first grade?
It was inconceivable, something that could make even a Martial Emperor unable to raise it, it was indeed something.
It was also at that moment.
Suddenly, a voice suddenly rang out.
It was Li Shouming’s voice.
“Teacher, word has come from the palace, asking you to go to the palace, His Majesty wants to see you for something.”
Li Shouming’s voice sounded outside.
“His Majesty wants to see me for something? Why is this woman so nosy?”
Xu Qingnian muttered in his heart, but still moved honestly and headed for the Great Wei Palace.
Two quarters of an hour.
Xu Qingnian arrived inside the Great Wei Palace.
The person leading the way was Li Xian.
He was, as usual, doing some chores within the palace.
Although His Majesty had set up the Secretary of Rites, he was not reappointed, after all, there were many eunuchs in the palace, especially the few eunuchs around the Empress, which of them were not loyal to His Majesty?
If you want to promote Li Xian directly, you will be jealous, and Li Xian will also be easily inflated, but it is better to let Li Xian continue to be an ordinary eunuch, and it is better to run into a wall, in this way, then you can let Li Xian rise to the top, the best effect.
The best way to do this is to let Li Xian know who put him up there, otherwise just a few words will really make Li Xian obedient to him?
When you are in trouble, anyone who is nice to him is a nice person.
When you’re in trouble, anyone who’s nice to him is a good person. When you’re successful, you might think you’re flattering him.
Xu Qingnian is well aware of this tactic.
Besides, today, the eunuch party has not developed at all, it is only a fledgling, there is no hurry.
“Your Majesty is looking for me today, what is the matter?”
Xu Qingnian, who was walking towards the hall, opened his mouth to ask, breaking the silence.
“Lord Xu, my servant does not know exactly what the matter is, but I know it is two Daoist priests who have come to the palace, and they may have something to do with them.”
Li Xian said with immense respect.
“Two Daoist priests?”
Xu Qingnian became even more curious, how did they get involved with Daoist priests again.
“En-un, Lord Xu, it’s just two Daoist priests.”
“I heard that they seem to be Xian Dao cultivators.”
Li Xian replied.
“Immortal Dao?”
Xu Qingnian became even more curious as he picked up his pace slightly and appeared outside the hall not long after.
“Xu Aiqing is declared to enter the hall.”
The Empress’s voice rang out.
At that moment, Xu Qingnian walked into the hall and his eyes soon fell on an old man and a young man.
The old man was a Taoist immortal with a smile in his eyes as he looked towards himself.
The young Daoist priest, handsome and also with an immortal aura, but with a somewhat bemused brow, surveyed himself.
Xu Qingnian’s gaze quickly withdrew and he bowed towards the empress.
“I, Xu Qingnian, pay my respects to Your Majesty, long live my emperor.”
Xu Qingnian made a slight salute and said.
“Xu Aiqing, please do not salute.”
The empress spoke, and then turned her gaze to the other two.
“Xu Aiqing, these two are the Patriarch of the Tai Shang Immortal Sect, Daoist Wu Chen, and his beloved disciple, Lu Ziying.”
The empress spoke up, personally introducing the two to Xu Qingnian.
“The Tai Shang Immortal Sect?”
Although Xu Qingnian knew nothing about the Immortal Dao, she did know about the seven great sects under the sky.
The Tai Shang Immortal Sect was vaguely the number one ranked existence, and was once no match for the Great Wei Dynasty, but given the current national power of Great Wei, it was no longer the case.
Thinking of this, Xu Qingnian bowed slightly and said.
“I, Xu Qingnian, have met Sovereign Wudu.”
“Greetings, Brother Lu.”
Xu Qingnian was modest and polite, while Daoist Wudu nodded with a smile and took out a crystal clear pure white jade pendant and said.
“I have always heard of Xu Shouren’s great name, but when I see it today, you indeed have the qualifications of a saint.”
“This is a magic weapon refined by the poor dao, as long as it is crushed, it can block the attacks of any cultivator below the third rank, it is considered a gift from me as an elder, I hope that little friend Xu will not dislike it.”
Daoist Wudu said so, while giving this magic weapon, to Xu Qingnian.
“Senior has complimented me, junior thanks senior.”
No reward for no work, Xu Qingnian understood this, but reaching out was not a laughing matter, plus this kind of thing was really useful to himself, as he improved his strength, Xu Qingnian understood more and more how strong martial artists of high realms were.
This kind of life-preserving thing, more is better, so Xu Qingnian did not refuse it.
And at that very moment, the Empress’ voice rang out.
“Aiqing Xu, this time Daoist Wudu has come to the capital for a matter, he wants to ask you to write an article to suppress some evil spirits.”
“I wonder if Aiqing Xu can help.”
The empress spoke out, telling what Daoist Wudu had asked herself to do.
“An article to suppress evil spirits?”
This time it was Xu Qingnian’s turn to be surprised, writing an article to suppress evil spirits?
He really didn’t think that the patriarch of the titled Tai Shang Immortal Sect would seek himself out to write an article?
“Little friend Xu, it is difficult to explain the specific matters, to put it simply, we have discovered a demonic cave that will most likely erupt into a demonic scourge.”
“In order to prevent the demon cave seal from loosening, we have prepared some spiritual objects to seal it, but now we still lack a few articles to suppress the evil, little friend Xu is a genius of ten thousand years, and now he has even been promoted to a great scholar, so I would like to come and ask you for an article to suppress the evil.”
“I hope that little friend Xu will help out for the sake of the world.”
These words of Daoist Wudu were not a lie, this was his main purpose in coming to the capital this time, of course finding Xu Qingnian was incidental.
“Senior Wuduan, Xu Mou is not reluctant to help, it’s just that there are also great scholars of heaven and earth in the Great Wei Palace of Literature, such a matter, let Xu Mou come, this …….”
This time Xu Qingnian really not modest, save the world’s life ah.
The actual fact is that you’ll be able to get a lot more than just a few of these.
I can’t do it.
“Xu Xiaoyou, in fact, we have already looked for the great scholars of heaven and earth in the Palace of Literature, Xu Xiaoyou can try it, if it is written well, naturally the best, if it is not written well, it does not matter, as a prepared poem.”
Daoist Wuduan smiled faintly and said.
Looking for Xu Qingnian was incidental, after all, he was at least a great Confucian, and that devil cave was extremely terrifying, suspected to be an ancient devil cave, let alone a great Confucian of heaven and earth.
He had even contacted the living saints of the current world to take action.
But more is better for something like an article to suppress evil, containing the power of Confucianism and having a divine effect, even a little more power will do, at least it will provide some more protection.
“Does it have to be an article? Is it okay to change to something else?”
Xu Qingnian hesitated for a moment, and then gave this answer.
“Yes, as long as it is in words, I am sorry to bother little friend Xu, if it can really seal the great demon, it will be a great merit.”
So said Daoist Wuduan.
But Lu Ziying on the other side did not think so, because he knew something, but this disbelief was not to belittle Xu Qingnian, but this matter involved a great deal, and his own master was only shouting at Xu Qingnian purely in pa*sing.
“That’s alright, but how long will it take?”
Xu Qingnian continued to ask.
If you have to write an article on the suppression of evil, Xu Qingnian really can’t think of anything, let yourself write about the An Guo policy, that is to take modern economic theory blind P***y, really let yourself write an article on the suppression of evil, sorry for the lack of level.
If you can write something else, you can still think about it, but also ask for time, if about three or five days, you can not get it.
“The time is okay, we have used the treasure weapon to suppress, nothing will go wrong in three to five years, and there is no need to be too anxious little friend, for fear that anxiousness will lead to chaos, if it is faster, in three years, if it is slower, in five years.”
“If I really can’t write it, I won’t blame little friend.”
Daoist Wudu replied thus.
Xu Qingnian was completely relieved, three to five years, that was fine, when there was nothing to think about, think about it and then write it, to say three to five months Xu Qingnian would find it a bit tricky.
Three or five years would be no problem, there is still a long time, there is absolutely nothing to worry about.
“Good then, then I will agree to do so, it is the Confucian’s responsibility to do so for the people of the world.”
Xu Qingnian gave an affirmative answer.
“Then, thank you very much, Little Friend Xu.”
It was also while Xu Qingnian was ruminating that Daoist Wudu spoke thus, but the next moment, Xu Qingnian spoke.
“Daoist Dustless, if it’s not too much trouble, there is something I would like to ask you for a favour as well.”
Xu Qingnian spoke out.
“Oh? What is it that little friend wants?”
Daoist Wudu asked.
“It is not a big deal, but I am very interested in the Immortal Dao, but just reading books is still a bit obscure and difficult to understand, so I wonder if Daoist Master Wudu could explain some things about the Immortal Dao to me.”
Xu Qingnian spoke his mind.
He was indeed very interested in the Immortal Dao, not because he wanted to cultivate immortality, but because he thought that there was something interesting about it.
For example, if it were possible to fine-tune something like the Rain Seeking Talisman so that it could be ma*s-produced, not to say ma*s-produced, but at least not too precious, so that every province in Great Wei could have a few dozen of them in storage.
In the event of a real drought, a rain charm could be thrown out to solve some problems, which would be a good thing for the country’s development.
It was only when this was said that Daoist Dustless frowned slightly.
“If senior is busy, then forget it, junior can instead learn it on his own.”
Seeing Daoist Dustless frowning slightly, Xu Qingnian didn’t say much, it didn’t matter if he couldn’t help, he himself only wanted to learn about it, it wasn’t like he was really cultivating the Immortal Dao.
“No, no, no.”
“Little friend misunderstood, it’s not that I am unwilling to teach, but I have other things that are quite important, I don’t have time to teach little friend for now.”
“But it doesn’t matter, this is my disciple, Lu Ziying, although he is young but now he has already stepped into the fourth rank, he may be slightly inferior to little friend.”
“But I have no problem instructing you in the Immortal Dao, and my disciple would also like to study Confucianism, so you and my disciple can complement each other.
Daoist Wuduan said with a smile.
When he said this, Xu Qingnian could not help but look at Lu Ziying, who was stunned.
When had he ever said that he wanted to learn Confucianism?
But since his own master had spoken, and in front of His Majesty, Lu Ziying nodded and said, “Greetings, Brother Xu.”
“Greetings, Brother Lu.”
Xu Qingnian returned the salute, and then said.
“In that case, then I’ll be grateful to senior and to brother Lu.”
Xu Qingnian said so.
“Little friend, you’re welcome.”
“Brother Xu has spoken too highly.”
The two said, except that Daoist Wudu was full of smiles, while Lu Ziying was very calm.
“This is very good, Xu Aiqing, you help Lu Ziying more in the Confucian Dao, while in the Immortal Dao, Lu Ziying helps you more, complementing each other, extremely good.”
The empress spoke out, although she did not know why Xu Qingnian suddenly wanted to study the art of the Immortal Dao, but no matter what, she still supported it.
“Alright, Xu Aiqing, Lu Ziying, the two of you should leave first.”
With that said, the empress opened her mouth and let the two of them retire first.
After all, there was nothing more for the two of them to do.
“Then I will leave first.”
“Ziyoung bids farewell.”
Xu Qingnian and Lu Ziyoung spoke at the same time.
“Ziying, tutor Qingnian well, but don’t be casual, otherwise I will not forgive you lightly.”
As Lu Ziying was leaving, Daoist Wudu deliberately reminded him, just in case this disciple of his was so cold and arrogant that he might offend Xu Qingnian, in which case there would be no need for him to do so.
“Understood, Master.”
Lu Ziying replied somewhat casually, and then walked out of the hall with Xu Qingnian.
After the two had walked out of the hall, Lu Ziying’s voice rang out.
“Brother Xu, my senior sister happens to be in the Great Wei Palace, so I’ll go and see her first, this is a spirit testing talisman that can test one’s immortal dao qualifications, take it first, and when you return, you can test your immortal dao qualifications by putting a drop of blood on it.”
“I will come back to you when Lu is finished.”
Lu Ziying spoke up and offered to go and see his senior sister.
“Alright, Brother Lu take your time, Mister Xu lives in Shouren Academy, if Brother Lu is busy, just come directly to the academy and look for Mister Xu.”
Xu Qingnian took the spirit measuring talisman and did not say anything, he made a slight salute before turning around and leaving.
He could tell that Lu Ziying had a little disdain for himself, not hatred or despise, but a kind of disdain.
It was obvious that Lu Ziying was very arrogant, even more so than his own senior brother Chen Xinghe.
But it didn’t matter, he wasn’t really practising the Immortal Dao, it was a favour to talk to the other side, and it was reasonable not to.
Looking at Xu Qingnian who left, Lu Ziying didn’t think anything of it.
He did not hate Xu Qingnian, nor did he hate Xu Qingnian, but he felt that everyone was blowing up too much, especially his own master, who had been talking about how good Xu Qingnian was for the past few days since he arrived.
The first time I saw him today, he was just average, except for his good looks, what else was good about him?
As for the fifth grade of Confucianism.
It is not that Lu Ziying is arrogant, it is just that he does not practice the Confucian Way.
And could Xu Qingnian surpa*s him by practising the Immortal Dao? Could he break his record?
The answer was obvious: no.
Shaking his head, Lu Ziying left, looking for a eunuch to guide him to the Hidden Scripture Pavilion.
And at that moment.
Inside the Great Hall.
The Empress’ voice slowly rang out.
“What exactly is the matter of the Devil’s Cave?”
The Empress asked.
When this matter was mentioned, Daoist Dustless looked serious, without a trace of laughter.
“Your Majesty, the matter of the Devil’s Cave is fine for now, only that the seal is so old that it has loosened a little, and although the Seven Great Daxian Sects have joined forces to stabilise this seal, it is still not enough.”
“Given the current situation, in three years at the earliest, five years at the slowest, the seal will automatically break through, and the only trust at the moment lies with the half-saints.”
Daoist Dustless said very seriously.
“If the Half-Saint strikes, how sure is he?”
The empress continued to ask.
“Around seventy percent, plus the demon-suppressing magic treasures that are currently being built, and the Ten Thousand Buddha Sutra transcribed by the Buddha Sect, there is a ninety percent certainty that the demon cave can be suppressed.”
“The biggest worry at the moment is not the Devil’s Cave, but whether other evil demons will take advantage of the situation and attack us unexpectedly while we are reinforcing the seal again.”
Daoist Wudu gave his answer with 90% certainty, but this had to be on the premise that no one would do any damage, and if someone did, it would be a different story.
“What do you want me to do?”
The empress asked.
“Please send two first-grade martial artists to guard the magic when it is sealed, Your Majesty, and deploy an army of 200,000 to guard the Devil’s Cave.”
Daoist Dustless said so.
“No!”
“A First Grade Martial Artist is of great significance, they cannot leave the capital of Great Wei.”
“This, by no means, I can give you 500,000 troops to ward off the demons, but the First Grade martial artists must not leave.”
The Empress refused outright.
Not only because of this reason, but there were several other extremely crucial reasons, until the time of the destruction of the country, a First Grade Martial Artist could never show himself.
This was an unwritten rule.
Why had the barbarians from the north not actually killed Kyoto during the initial shame of Jingcheng? The main reason for this was that they were afraid of first-rank martial artists.
Otherwise, they would have reached Jingcheng, which was only 500 miles away from Kyoto, and it would not have taken them a day to reach Kyoto.
Therefore, the First Grade Martial Artists were too significant, they were the foundation of the Great Wei, the real foundation.
They absolutely could not step forward.
“Your Majesty, 500,000 troops are not too useful, at least a First Grade should be invited.”
“I also hope that Your Majesty will think of the people of the world.”
Daoist Wuduan said so, somewhat begging.
“Daoist Master Wuduan, it is not that I am hard-hearted, but I have my own hardships, but I can send five great scholars to sit for you, how about that?”
The empress spoke out, a first-rate martial artist would not do, a great Confucian could go.
“Alas, many thanks Your Majesty.”
“In that case, then the old dao will first take leave.”
Daoist Wudu could see that the Empress was determined not to agree, so he sighed and agreed, while also taking his leave.
“Take care, Daoist Master.”
The Empress had no intention of seeing her off, but simply spoke.
Soon, Daoist Dirtless left, while the Empress’ eyes were filled with a strange look.
She was thinking about many things.
And so it was.
An hour later.
In the capital of Great Wei, a man and a woman walked down the street, the man in front and the woman in the back.
The man is handsome and uncommon, Lu Ziying.
The woman wore a veil, although she could not see her face, but by her figure and brainstorming a little, one could tell that the woman was definitely not of ordinary posture, it was Shui Yun Yan.
“Senior sister, you and I haven’t seen each other for a long time, even if you don’t entertain senior brother properly, why do you have to drag me to the Shouren Academy, why is this necessary?”
Lu Ziying was really a bit depressed.
He didn’t know what to say about his sister, even if she was eccentric, she hadn’t seen him for a year, so he had wanted to catch up with her and tell her some stories about the sect.
But to his surprise, after she found out what had happened today, she had to ask him to go to the Shouren Academy to teach Xu Qingnian the Immortal Dao.
This made him a little depressed.
What kind of charm did this Xu Qingnian have, anyway? This senior sister of his own was known as the number one cold fairy of the Immortal Dao.
How could she suddenly be like this?
The next moment, a note appeared in his hand, which his own senior sister had finished writing and thrown over.
“Teach him seriously.”
Four words that made Lu Ziying a little depressed.
And behind her, Shui Yun Yan had a simple thought, she had always been curious whether Xu Qingnian’s master had been rescued, but did not dare to ask, and now she learned that this senior brother of hers had met Xu Qingnian, and that her own senior uncle had asked Lu Ziying to teach Xu Qingnian the Immortal Dao.
Naturally, Shui Yunyan forced her senior brother to go and find Xu Qingnian.
Xu Qingnian wanted to learn the Immortal Dao, perhaps for other purposes that were beyond Shui Yunyan’s control, but helping others to the end, Shui Yunyan still hoped that Xu Qingnian’s master would be saved.
And so it was that the two came to the Shouren Academy.
A note appeared in Lu Ziying’s hand once again.
“I’m leaving first, senior brother teach Xu Qingnian well, or I’ll tell senior uncle to go.”
This was Shui Yunyin’s note, the next moment, Shui Yunyin disappeared in the same place, she didn’t like to come into contact with strangers, it was all about gathering courage to go to Liyang Palace that day.
When she gave the materials to Chen Xinghe, it was difficult for a day, let alone entering the Shouren Academy.
Looking at Shui Yun Yan’s note.
Lu Ziying was a little annoyed.
Teach teach teach!
Teaching is still not enough!
I just wonder, what is so good about this Xu Qingnian?
Do you really think that he has a high Confucian talent and a high Xian Dao?
Fine, you want me to teach him, right? I’ll teach him the most difficult ones and see if he knows how to cultivate immortality.
What a waste of my time! Isn’t my time valuable?
Lu Ziying was so angry that he was really out of temper.
Thinking of this, he walked straight into the Shouren Academy.
If you want to teach, you can teach, it’s just a waste of time.
No way, no way, no way?
No one would think that Xu Qingnian was both a Confucian genius and an immortal genius, right?
Even if she is a genius, what can she do?
Take a step back.
Is it as strong as me, Lu Ziyoung?
Is it better than Lu Ziying?
The heavens have not given birth to me, Lu Ziyoung, and the immortal dao is like a long night.
Xu Qingnian? You just know a bit of Confucianism, don’t you?
If I practiced Confucianism, would I be any worse than him?
Hmph!
The next moment, Lu Ziying entered the Shouren Academy.
