Chapter 481: Wei Yuan’s Backhand (Thanks to “Qing Ningzi’s” Silver Alliance)

Xu Qi’an’s gaze rested on the sandalwood brocade box, which was sealed by a force, its clear light hidden.

He slowly reached out and pressed his hand against the brocade box.

Zhao Shou’s voice penetrated low and said, “I must remind you that by opening this box, you are officially in the game.”

Xu Qi’an’s face was calm, “I’ve already come to my senses.”

He whirled around and opened the box, a bleak scarlet red color was reflected in his pupils, inside the brocade box, a pigeon egg sized blood dan was lying quietly.

In the autumn wind, the surrounding grass and trees “rustle” shaking, outside the pavilion of the withered branches spit out new green shoots, the ground drilled sharp grass color, insects from the ground out of the swarms of swarming to the pavilion.

But it was blocked from the pavilion by a clear light air shield.

Xu Qi’an’s lips moved slightly, “Blood Dan ………”

Zhao Shou nodded, “Before Wei Yuan left, he left a portion of the blood elixir here. He collaborated with me to deduce that whether this portion of the blood elixir is left behind or not, it doesn’t affect Jing Shan City’s chances of winning.

“Thus, Wei Yuan divided a portion of the blood elixir and gave it to me for safekeeping. He said that he would take care of the battlefield of the Witch God Cult, and that the battlefield of the capital would be given to Xu Qi’an.”

Speaking of this, Zhao Shou smiled, his voice gentle, ”I asked him what would happen if Xu Qi’an was unable to advance to the fourth rank at that time. He did not answer me. Now that I see you, I realize how confident he was at that time.”

Wei Gong has already expected this step ……….. Xu Qi’an’s eyes seemed to darken for a moment as he looked down at the blood dan:

“By swallowing it, I can advance to the third grade?”

Zhao Shou gave an affirmative reply, saying:

“The third grade is called the Immortal Body, and in the final analysis, the essence is a powerful life force that far exceeds that of mortals. Being able to rebirth broken limbs, as long as you don’t die on the spot, how about injuries can be recovered.

“The normal method of cultivation is to hammer the body day in and day out, and if it can be supplemented with elixirs and other heavenly treasures, that would be the best. Through cultivation, a metamorphosis of the body occurs, filling the flesh and blood with life force.

“Of course, he has a shortcut, and that is to devour qi and blood, using the massive qi and blood to catalyze the metamorphosis of the physique, shedding the mortal body. The Zhenbei King was trying to refine the blood pills that day to push his physique to the third grade of great perfection, boosting his chances of advancing to the second grade.”

Xu Qi’an slowly nodded his head, the fact that King Huai had refined the blood pills in preparation for harvesting the princess was something he had known for a long time.

The most crucial thing to be promoted to the second grade was the Princess’s Spiritual Embrace.

King Huai just wanted to increase his success rate, thus refining the blood pills and forcing them up to the Third Grade Grand Completion. From this, it could be seen that the core of the realm of the third grade was indeed life essence.

Zhao Shou gently waved his sleeve, shattering the dense insects and bugs outside the pavilion into pieces, and then said:

“Theoretically speaking, as long as one advances to the fourth rank, if there is a powerful enough life essence, one can quickly advance to the third rank. But there are also failures, the blood dan is just a primer, what a fourth grade martial artist has to do is not to absorb it, a mortal body absorbing such a huge amount of energy will only explode and die, just like those bugbears.

“The right thing to do is to utilize its life energy to cleanse and stimulate your flesh, causing your body to metamorphose and transcend the mundane.

“Wait until your body gets metamorphosed and steps into Transcendence, then absorb the power of the Blood Pill to repair your injuries.”

The role of the blood dan is to knock on the door, using that life energy to rush through the door of transcendence, which is bound to be on the verge of death at that time, but also has the ability to absorb the essence of the blood dan, which can be utilized to restore the state and repair the trauma ………. Xu Qi’an nodded, “It’s not difficult to understand.”

“I’ve set up a boundary in the pavilion, so you might as well advance here; even if you fail, I’ll be able to save your life.”

Zhao Shou’s meaning of this is very straightforward, going this kind of biased martial artist, failure is a dead end, and the probability of failure is very high.

After Xu Qi’an asked about the details of refining, he didn’t hesitate, grabbing the blood elixir and swallowing it into his stomach.

Boom!

As soon as the blood elixir entered his throat, he felt a warm current rush into his abdomen, and then his belly felt like it exploded.

In the midst of the sharp pain, Xu Qi’an saw the ground in front of her splattered with blood, and realized that it wasn’t an illusion, and that her belly had really exploded.

Puh, puh, puh ……… Blood holes exploded one after another on the surface of his body, chest, back, waist, etc., and he was like the Daemon King in the story, who had been stuffed with explosives by the chivalrous warriors, and his body was gradually going to collapse.

“Collect your thoughts and refine the blood elixir.”

Zhao Shou’s voice seemed to contain some sort of power, allowing his disorganized thoughts to collect themselves and get rid of the chaos.

Xu Qi’an held his breath and concentrated, using the method of regulating breathing to try and pull the chaotic and raging life essence within his body.

But it was no use at all, wherever this life essence went, it brought destruction to wherever it went, a meridian snapped, a cell burst, a terrifying wound appeared, coming out of a spiderweb of cracks on the surface of his body.

“It’s not absorption, it’s through this power that my cells are transcended with immortal properties, but what should I do to give them a new lease of life?”

Seeing that his vitality was being worn away little by little, Xu Qi’an was flooded with undisguised fear within his heart.

“…….. Wait, this is the same way that Shinshu bestowed my essence blood, the difference is only that Shinshu wore out the willpower in the essence blood ahead of time.”

Xu Qi’an remembered with a start that he wasn’t like ordinary martial artists, he had two instances of absorbing the life essence of a high-grade martial artist. If I follow what the dean said, I should have died the first two times.

“Unusual martial artists must get metamorphosed at the life level before they can absorb the power of the blood dan, but I’ve long been acting similarly, so I might as well try absorbing it directly ……….”

Enhanced by the power of the dean’s words, his thoughts were clear, and while controlling the life essences with his mind to make them less violent, he tried to absorb them and warm up his cells.

Annihilation of the cell rebirth rejuvenation of vitality, and then in the blood of the power of the Dan destruction again “death”, and then reborn, every annihilation and rebirth, the cell is like mortal iron to be quenched.

Xu Qi’an was pleasantly surprised, he did possess the foundation to directly absorb the power of the blood elixir, he had long been a half-step Transcendent. The precedent of absorbing essence blood twice under the protection of Divine Shush had laid a deep foundation for him.

Supervisor, is this one of your gifts?

He couldn’t help but think of what Shenshu had said before, that the warmth was mutual, both fulfilling Shenshu and fulfilling him. The Supervisor must have known that in his heart as well, right?

He paved the way for me?

Forcibly dismissing his fear and scorn of the old silver coin, he patiently absorbed the power of the blood elixir.

Time passed slowly, and after an unknown amount of time, the wounds on Xu Qi’an’s body surface had long since healed after the last stream of life essence was absorbed.

His clothes were stained with blood, but his body was as crystalline as jade, flawless and unblemished.

Zhao Shou narrowed his eyes and smiled, “Congratulations to Xu Yinluo, for advancing to the third rank and stepping into the Transcendent Realm.”

The dean is a third grade, I am also a third grade, I don t know if I can hang him ……… Oh, Zhao Shou is the peak of the third grade, only one step short of the second grade, that s all right ……… Xu Qi An respectfully returned the salute :

“Thanks for the help Dean.”

Zhao Shou laughed and shook his head, “It’s not me who helped you, it’s Wei Yuan, it’s ………”

He glanced in the direction of the capital.

………..

Xu Qi’an changed into a clean and tidy outfit and went to the courtyard where his second uncle’s family lived.

Suzaku and Lina were nowhere to be seen in the courtyard, Second Uncle and Xu Lingyue were sitting at the stone table drinking tea, and Auntie was squatting by the flower garden loosening the soil and watering the plants.

“Master, the academy is amazing, the flowers here never fail in all seasons. In the past, when Er Lang told me, I didn’t believe it ………”

Auntie chirped.

Uncle Xu got up in surprise and looked at his nephew who entered the courtyard.

One step earlier than him is the milk swallow cast forest of Xu Ling Yue, after the New Year is nineteen years old big girl sister, body development more and more exquisite floating convex.

“Big brother!”

Xu Lingyue choked out a sob, a mixture of sadness and joy.

After Li Miaozhen returned to the capital, she came to the academy to tell the details of Xu Qi’an, who was seriously injured, unconscious, and almost died.

Uncle Xu Ershu was relieved.

The aunt twisted her head and saw that her nephew was unharmed, her face brightened momentarily, then she gathered her expression and skimmed her lips:

“Master, I told you that this kid’s life stinks and is hard, so there’s no need to worry blindly about him.”

Jiro inherited his arrogance from his aunt.

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Xu Qi’an took out the prepared house and land deeds and said:

“Second Uncle, I’ve bought a mansion in Jianzhou, so at dawn tomorrow, you’ll take your aunt and sisters on their journey.”

He didn’t keep any silver; the Xu family had money now, and there was no shortage of disks and subsequent expenses.

Also, if something bad happens to him, someone will give his savings to Uncle Hui.

Uncle Xu opened his mouth and didn’t pick it up, looking deeply at his nephew, “What about you?”

In a calm tone, Xu Qi’an smiled and said, “I have no way back.”

Only then did Uncle Xu take the deed to the house and land: “Good.”

After a pause, he said in a low voice, “I couldn’t care less about your affairs long ago, second uncle is just sorry that he didn’t see you take a wife, at least, at least you have to leave a seed for your elder brother’s lineage ah, you unfilial dog.”

He turned emotional.

Forgive me for my life of debauchery and love of white whoring ………. Xu Qi’an offered his sincerest apologies in his heart.

“On Jiro’s side, I’ll make the arrangements, don’t worry.”

Xu Qi’an finished and waved his family goodbye.

…………

[I: That’s pretty much what happened.]

In the private chat, Number One relayed what had happened, as it was, to Chu Yuanzhan.

Yuan Jing is the late emperor ……… The late emperor colluded with the Witch God Cult to kill Wei Yuan …….. The late emperor wanted to characterize the battle as a defeat to further shake up the qi ………

Chu Yuanjian’s mind was in chaos, some of this information he had learned long ago, but the matter of the late emperor colluding with the Witch God Cult to kill Wei Yuan, he had just heard about it.

[IV: Now, what should we do?]

This question, Wyking did not answer him.

She didn’t know that even as intelligent as the Royal Eldest Daughter, she was somewhat dazed and confused when faced with such a situation.

In her opinion, the only person to ask the Superintendent about this kind of thing is the Superintendent, and only the Superintendent can deal with this level of problem.

[4: It’s hard to get even, it’s hard to get even.]

Through the book of the earth, one could also experience Chu Yuanjian’s stirring scholarly spirit.

[IV: What is the opinion of Xu Qi’an.]

[1: He dragged me to ask you if you can return to the capital before dawn tomorrow.]

Chu Yuanjian was creeped out, but he didn’t answer right away, an incredible thought welling up in his heart.

At that exact moment, Xu Qi’an’s transmission surfaced in the earth book, not a private chat, but a public transmission:

[There is something I would like to talk to you all about.]

Aside from the shut-in Golden Lotus, as well as Seven and Eight, who were in a state of dropping out, the Earth Book Fragment holders, coincidentally, took out their Earth Book Fragments.

[III: I can now answer you all about the schemes and purposes of the late Emperor Jeanne d’Arc].

He, he’s figured out Jeanne’s true purpose? He obviously just slept, ah, not worthy of you ah ………. Li Miaozhen’s spirit was lifted with anticipation and admiration.

This …….. I haven’t even digested the information that Number One said! Chu Yuanjian had a complex expression, his gaze firmly fixed on the fragment of the earth book, fearing that he would miss the next piece of information.

The true purpose of the late emperor ……… Huaiqing took a deep breath, and his heart stirred.

Master Hengyuan was meditating in a secluded mountain forest somewhere on Qingyun Mountain, holding a fragment of an earth book and looking at it intently.

Even Lina realized the gravity of the situation and gathered her thoughts, staring at the ground book fragments.

At that moment, Xu Qi’an told the Earth Book Chat crowd exactly what he and Dean Zhao Shou had guessed.

A bolt from the blue.

The Earth Book shard holders did not respond for a long time.

Let the Dafeng become a vassal state of the Witch God Cult, as a way to circumvent the rule that qi plus the body cannot live forever, and become the spokesman of the Witch God Cult in the Central Plains, and become an emperor and master in another sense ……..

Ancestor’s kingdom, surrendered, the late emperor he went too deep into the devil ………

Damn Jeanne d’Arc, I want to stab him right now ……..

Didn’t get much out of it, but it felt awesome ……….

Amitabha Buddha ……….

The people of the Heaven and Earth Association were hit with a huge shock of anger, consternation, and sudden realization, only to feel that all the clues had been strung together.

[I: The late emperor, he, has gone mad.]

Desire everyone has, but to do this for the sake of desire regardless of everything, can only be said that the first emperor was contaminated by the head of the Earth Sect Dao, into the devil too deep, obsessions into demonic thoughts.

[4: What I don’t understand is how to make Daebong a vassal state?]

Chu Yuanjian’s words drew intense discussion from the crowd.

[I: Scattering the country’s fortunes, the world is in chaos, the Witch God Cult takes advantage of the situation and swings to the Central Plains?]

[2: We can’t rule this out, but after Wei Yuan’s sweep, and the battle of Yu Yang Pass, the Witch God Sect has suffered great losses. Even if the Da Feng is in chaos, the cheap ones will be the Western Region Buddhist Sect, right?]

Hengyuan and Lina didn’t comment, one was not good at analyzing these, and the other was purely intellectually inadequate.

[3: Jeanne d’Arc will make another move, shaking the chi isn’t the last step, what he does next is the most crucial. But I won’t give him the chance anymore.]

[What are you going to do?

The crowd sent this message almost together.

Xu Qi’an was silent for a long time and wrote slowly:

I want to kill the king!

There was silence in the shards of the Earth Book.

I want to kill the king …….. Seeing those four words, everyone’s hands trembled slightly.

Huaiqing’s mind was in turmoil.

Chu Yuanjian was dissatisfied with Yuanjing’s monasticism back then, and resigned from his post to practice the sword and walk the rivers and lakes, although in his words and attitude, he expressed his dissatisfaction and disdain for Yuanjing at every turn.

But the word regicide never crossed his mind.

Living in this era, whether one admits it or not, one’s thinking is influenced by the concepts of “father, son, and ruler” and “the ruler wants the subject to die, and the subject has to die”.

Regicide was something he hadn’t thought about in any way.

Li Miaozhen, the Holy Daughter of the Heavenly Sect, had not received a Confucian education, but likewise lived in this era and knew the concept and meaning of the word king.

Her previous comment about stabbing Yuan Jing to death was more of just venting her emotions.

[3: If a man has no way, the sky will cut him down. If the king has no way, I’ll kill him. Gentlemen, will you help me?]

Xu Ning Banquet, what a lawless martial artist ah ……… The emotions of the crowd are stirring inside.

[Two: Good.]

[Four: Good.]

[V: Good.]

[Six: Good.]

After a long interval, a transmission finally came from the number one: [……. Good.]

[3: Daoist Jinlian, what do you say.]

After waiting for a few moments and not waiting for a reply from Daoist Golden Lotus, Xu Qi’an was relieved and transmitted the message: [I will speak with you in detail about the plan.]
