Chapter 418 – Emperor Yuan Jing: Where is my Lotus Seed?

Inside the stone door, the old man’s voice was laced with laughter:

“First of all, we have to figure out what the Primordial Supervisor is plotting. The first generation of Supervisors are not killing you because they want to steal the Qi Luck, and if you die, the Qi Luck will be returned to the Da Feng, that’s what that person named Ji Qian said, right?”

Xu Qi’an nodded.

The old man continued, “But there is a loophole in this statement; if that were the case, the contemporary Supervisor would only need to kill you to thwart the other side’s plot.”

Xu Qi’an let out a “hmmm”, “So, the contemporary Supervisor has other purposes, or perhaps Ji Qian’s realization is wrong.”

The old man said approvingly, “You are indeed extremely wise; we are martial artists, and with the temperament of a martial artist, when encountering such a matter, there is no need to hesitate and directly lift the table.”

“What if you can’t lift it?” Xu Qi’an said in a deep voice.

“Then build up your strength and survive in the cracks first. No matter how strong the two generations of Supervisor Zheng are, one thing is a fact, the qi is within you, it is your power, it will become your dependence. This is a fact that even the Supervisor Zheng cannot change, you are a smart person, you should understand what I mean.”

The old man said.

“Then I wonder if there’s you, senior, in the session of accumulating power?” Xu Qi’an smiled.

The old man was silent for a moment and said heatedly, “You came to Inuyasha Mountain for the banquet just for this, right?”

Xu Qi’an nodded and shook his head again, “It’s just a matter of chance, and as it happens, I’m covered in luck.”

The old man laughed, “Yes, if you can find the Nine-Colored Lotus Root for me, I will come out to help you!”

Xu Qi’an mused, “Is a small cutoff okay?”

The old man asked rhetorically, “A small cut of lotus root can help me advance to the second grade?”

It looks like it wants the whole lotus root ah, at least most of it, in that case, the lotus root I have on hand is useless ………. And the nine-colored lotus root is the Earth Sect’s most precious treasure, the Golden Lotus Taoist Leader will definitely not give it to me, this need not be thought about.

“Can there be something else instead?” Xu Qi’an didn’t dwell on the lotus root.

“Perhaps!” The old man said.

After a moment of silence, Xu Qi’an asked, “Have you seen that Supervisor from five hundred years ago?”

“Seen!”

The old man gave an affirmative reply, then laughed, ”He hadn’t started the warlock system at that time, and it’s funny, that guy was a beautiful-looking young man back then, well, the same as the young man you brought up the mountain.

“All day long, he was inseparable from Emperor Gaozu of Dafeng, an intelligent man to the core, emphasizing love and trust, but with some headstrongness. By the way, the two have the same ambition, not seeking immortality.”

Listening to you say this, why do I feel that the first generation and the high ancestor are full of baseness ah ……….. Xu Qi’an mentally spat.

Pretty as a woman, sentimental, trustworthy, headstrong, and not looking for a long life!

He silently memorized these points and cupped his fists and saluted, “If senior is alright, then senior will leave first.”

Behind him, came the voice of the old piker:

“Have you thought about how to get rid of your own impending doom?”

“Senior and wait, perhaps in a short while, Xu Yinluo will become history. Perhaps, he will do something great that will shock the Nine States.” Xu Qi’an didn’t look back.

“Wait and see.” The old man laughed.

…………

After leaving the back of the mountain, the golden-red sunlight sprinkled over the hills as he walked towards his compound, at this time, Cao Qingyang had already dispersed his ministry and brought Yang Cui Xue and the other fourth grade experts to wait for him at the entrance of the compound.

“What did the old ancestors say to you?”

“Xu Yinluo, what is the matter with the sword qi just now ………”

“Xu Yinluo, can you show me your saber.”

Sect and gang masters swarmed over.

Xiao Yuenu, the owner of the Ten Thousand Flowers Mansion, wrapped in pink robes, stood aside reservedly without saying anything, but a pair of divinely beautiful eyes quietly looked at Xu Qi’an, full of anticipation.

“What the old-timer said to me is confidential and cannot be told to outsiders, as for it well ………”

Xu Qi’an removed the Taiping Sword hanging on his back waist and erected it on the ground, raising his eyebrows and smiling, “If any of you can pull it out, feel free to give it a try.”

“It’s just a knife.”

A fourth grade gang leader who used a sword, with fiery eyes, stepped forward, rubbed his hands together, gripped the hilt of the sword, and pulled it out with force.

Didn’t pull it out.

One more push.

Still haven’t pulled it out.

This …….. The crowd gathered around with a look of amazement.

“Go away go away.”

That gang leader repelled the crowd, feeling a bit humiliated, his arm muscles swelled and his Qi exploded violently.

Medaka!

The pacific sword was sheathed and pulled out hard.

In the next moment, that gang leader retracted his hand as if he was electrocuted, his palm tingling immensely.

The Taiping Blade seemed to be a bit annoyed, and with a twist of the blade, it aimed at that gang leader and stabbed him with a swoosh.

One man and one sword start the chase.

“Jedi, the Jedi Soldier ………”

“This sword is an absolute divine weapon? Why didn’t I feel it before?”

“The Divine Soldier has a spirit, it can’t be pulled out unless it’s the owner, and it can’t be used unless it’s the owner, and Old Sun’s reliance on brute force to forcibly pull out the sword has enraged it.”

The crowd looked dumbfounded and dazed, they hadn’t thought at all that Xu Qi’an’s saber was a supreme divine weapon. Despite witnessing the innate vision just now, no one connected it to the saber, they all thought that Xu Yinluo had had an epiphany.

These few fourth-grade martial artists, one without the other, looked at the Taiping Sword and revealed a salivating expression.

What a great weapon.

This was a weapon above a magic weapon, each absolute divine weapon had an independent consciousness and had already departed from the realm of weapons to a certain extent.

More like companions.

At the same time, the Jedi Warrior can also build up its own blade energy and meet the enemy on its own.

To paraphrase Xu Qi’an’s words from his previous life: I’m already a mature weapon, I can fight on my own.

For a jianghu casual cultivator, a magic weapon can be used as a family heirloom, with the old man passing it on to his son, and the son passing it on to his grandson. And for a jianghu organization, a supreme artifact can be used as the treasure of the town.

Above the Absolute Divine Warriors, there were also magic treasures.

The distinction between an absolute divine weapon and a magic treasure was not based on the means of attacking and killing, but rather the specialness and uniqueness.

The Taiping Blade was a weapon with a unique efficacy, thus it was a supreme divine weapon, not a magic treasure.

The Zhen Guo Sword was both a supreme divine weapon and a magic treasure, as it could suppress a country’s qi, which was what made it different.

Another example is the Earth Book Fragment, which currently has only two effects: book transmission and storage.

But this is not the real effect of the Book of Earth, it is the effect of the fragments.

What divine powers the complete Earth Book possessed, Daoist Golden Lotus had never told the shard bearer.

Xu Yinluo unexpectedly has a supreme divine weapon ………

“Come back.”

Xu Qi’an faintly said.

Like a disobedient Erha, the Taiping Blade chased after the Sun Gangmaster and hacked at him for a while longer before indignantly returning to Xu Qi’an and circling around him.

“Spiritual intelligence is nascent, there is still a lot of room for growth, subsequently, you should warm it up more with your qi, and it is best to use it to nourish your will. It will slowly metamorphose.” Cao Qingyang’s eyes flashed with envy.

There are quite a few magic weapons in the Martial Arts Alliance, and not a single one of the supreme divine weapons.

Moreover, he cultivated the Blade Intent, which was exactly attached to his needs, and even though he was the noble alliance leader, he could not remain calm.

At this time, Xiao Yuenu softly said, “I’ve heard that an absolute divine weapon is given a name, and that the name has an inseparable meaning from the blade. I wonder what Xu Yinluo calls this blade?”

Yang Cui Xue and the others immediately looked at Xu Qi’an.

“Building Master Xiao is very knowledgeable.”

Xu Qi’an gripped the hilt of the blade and flicked the spine of the blade, saying, “The name of the blade, Taiping, implies that the world is at peace, and if there is any injustice, it will be the one to cut it down.”

The crowd stood in awe.

The world is peaceful, and the world is chopped up ……… Xiao Yuenu s expression was slightly trance, and he glanced at Xu Qi an with some complexity.

………..

After having lunch, Xu Qi’an and Nangong Qianruo bid farewell to the people of the Martial Arts Alliance, mounted two horses, and stepped onto the official road without any haste.

“Nangong ah, you’ve seen more than me, have you ever heard of Xuzhou?”

“Never heard of it.” Nangong Qianlou faintly said.

Answer so quickly, a look is not sincere ………. Xu Qi’an heart slander, the two ran on the official road for a long time, never saw Li Miaozhen and Chu Yuanjian return.

Did these two guys forget about me? Riding a horse back to the capital, I have to spend half a month, which is faster than a flying sword ………. Xu Qi’an planned to fly back on his invisible wings.

So he said, “Riding is too slow, why don’t we fly back.”

Nangong Qianrou snorted, “You can’t carry anyone with this broken knife.”

Underestimating people isn’t. Xu Qi’an took out the Confucian spell scroll in front of Nangong Beauty, tore off a page, and shook his hand to light it, “I have a pair of invisible wings.”

Nangong Qianrou clearly perceived the surrounding air a swing, vaguely out of the sound of vibrating wings, as if a pair of wings Huo Ran unfolded.

“Why don’t you just teleport? For example: the location I’m at is the entrance to the capital city.” Nangong Qianlou hesitated for a moment and gave her opinion.

“It’s not that I’m not smart enough to summon a pair of wings, I’d be crooked-necked for a few days at best. But if we do as you say, we can indeed return to the capital immediately, but the clan will have to come to my house for dinner again.” Xu Qi’an humorously laughed at himself.

He grabbed Nangong Qianlou’s shoulders and rushed up into the sky.

The two of them flew and stopped, finally arriving at the Central Plains’ premier city in the early morning of the next day.

Xu Qi’an’s neck was inevitably crooked, and he looked at people with slanted eyes.

It was unseemly to meet Wei Yuan in such a posture, so Xu Qi’an planned to go home and rest for a day first, and then go play Truth or Dare with Wei Yuan tomorrow.

Just returned to the mansion, Xu Lingyin smelled the news and said happily, “Cauldron Cauldron ……..”

Once they saw Xu Qi’an empty-handed, their enthusiasm diminished by half.

Xu Suoyin cocked her head and asked, “Cauldron, didn’t you bring a gift back? In the past, when Cauldron went out to play, he would always bring gifts back.”

Xu Qi’an tilted his head, “This time, big brother had something to do and didn’t bring a gift, why are you tilting your head?”

“I’m learning from Cauldron.” Xu Suzin still maintained her tilted head posture.

Xu Qi’an cocked his head at her.

Xu Lingyin also tilted her head to look at him.

Can’t stand it, what a stupid little kid, I wonder if she’d get smarter if I let her eat a lotus seed?

No, that would be a waste.

“Why isn’t my master back, I hid a lot of chicken legs for her, and the cauldron too.” Xu Lingyin asked, cocking her head.

At that moment, my aunt came out from the hall and said in a bad mood, “I threw away the chicken leg you hid in your shoe, can you eat that? Aren’t you afraid of diarrhea?”

Little Dou Ding tilted his head, reluctantly bounced, and said loudly, “Where did you throw it, I want to pick it up and give it to Master and Cauldron.”

Your filial piety has deteriorated …….. Xu Qi’an said, “Big brother won’t want it, pick it up and give it to Lina.”

………..

The next day.

Tian Ji and Tian Shu finally returned to the capital, and they were first sent all the way by the Earth Sect’s Taoist priests on flying swords.

However, the Earth Sect Taoist priests lacked patience and had a violent temperament, and only sent them to the border of Jiangzhou, which is right next to the capital, before abandoning the King Huai’s secret agents and taking off on their own.

After a night on the water, the spies finally returned to the capital.

Entering the imperial city, Tian Ji and Tian Shu entered through the southern gate of the palace, which was rarely entered or exited on weekdays, as this area was right next to the eunuchs’ dormitories.

At this time, Emperor Yuan Jing had just finished his breakfast and was planning to leave the palace and go to Ling Bao Guan to seek out the State Master for his morning lessons.

The eunuch hurriedly came to report that the secret agent who had gone to Jianzhou to carry out the mission had returned to the capital and had just entered the palace, waiting to be summoned outside.

“Summon them to the royal study.”

A smile appeared on Emperor Yuan Jing’s face as he looked at his eldest companion beside him and leisurely said, “I heard that the Lotus Seed of the Earth Sect is able to enlighten all things, even stones can be enlightened.

“O Great Companion, do you think that if I take the lotus seed, I will be able to make up for my lack of talent?”

The old eunuch smiled brightly, “Your Majesty’s natural talent is unrivaled in the world, why do you need lotus seeds, but the old slave still wants to congratulate Your Majesty, eating lotus seeds, like a tiger adding wings.”

Emperor Yuan Jing laughed freely.

He held down his emotions and waited for more than a quarter of an hour before he led the old eunuch, walking slowly towards the imperial study.

In the imperial study, Tianji and Tianshu, who were wearing black robes and pure gold masks, stood quietly, their heads lowered, not saying a word.

Emperor Yuan Jing swept a glance at the two men, the smile on his face unabated, “Where are the lotus seeds, quickly present them to me.”

……….

PS: A plea for a monthly pass, while the double pass is still available.
