Chapter 614 – The Parties (Request for Monthly Tickets)

Ji Xuan pondered for a moment and shook his head:

“We’ll continue to collect the scattered dragon qi, and that great host will let the seven lodges of the Canglong Dragon subdue it.

“Hehe, we can’t tell Xu Qi’an’s whereabouts right now, and it wouldn’t be good if we ran into him in Yuzhou. Just as we didn’t expect to encounter him in Yongzhou.

“And if the Canglong Seven Constellations, the real deal, the Third Grade Battle Power, will definitely be easier to deal with than us.

“Even if it’s not Xu Qi’an’s opponent, getting away is always no problem.”

The crowd sniffed and nodded in silence.

Liu Hongmu and Beggar’s Happiness Danxiang exhaled a breath, their taut complexions loosening up a lot.

After having breakfast, Ji Xuan and his group returned to their temporary residence, an abandoned courtyard in the slum area, there were many more vacant courtyards like this in the small county.

Their owners may have defected to relatives because of poverty and famine.

Or they may have died in one of the burglaries, and the whole family was not spared.

Along the way, Ji Xuan and the others were used to seeing depression and poverty, and the corpses and bones in the wind and snow.

In the humble room, Ji Xuan sat at the table, looking intently at the box in his hand.

The rosewood box opened and the formation inscribed on it dispersed, and inside was a bead that shimmered with a scarlet shimmer.

The size of a pigeon’s egg.

It concentrated the essence of a transcendent martial artist’s qi and blood.

Ji Xuan stared for a few seconds, his gaze somewhat lax, his thoughts drifting into the distance after him.

Knock knock!

At that moment, there was a knock on the door of the room.

Ji Xuan’s pupils contracted, recovering his aura from his lax state, snapping, closing the box and storing it in his arms, a smile appeared on his face:

“Come in.”

Xu Yuanfang pushed open the door and swept a glance at the humble room and its almost non-existent furnishings, “Seventh Brother.”

She was followed by Beggar Dan Xiang, White Tiger, Liu Hong Cotton, and Xu Yuanhuai.

Ji Xuan swept a glance at them and smiled, “Is there something you want to talk to me about?”

Xu Yuanfang nodded:

“Indeed I would like to confer with Seven.”

“After the battle in Yongzhou, Banana Leaf Taoist Master died, Liu Hongmu and the others were all scared out of their wits by Xu Qi’an, and even Yuanhuai, who was the most unconvinced, lost his nerve.”

Liu Hongcong “aiya” a, delicate voice: “people but a woman, that Xu Qi An and fierce and overbearing, afraid of is also deservedly so.”

The proud Xu Yuanhuai bristled, but was unable to refute her sister’s words.

For that big brother, he was nothing but powerless.

Ji Xuan was silent for a moment and said, “And then?”

The white tiger with the broken arm let out a “hey”:

“During this period of time, I thought about it and realized that collecting dragon qi isn’t actually a necessity. It doesn’t matter if we can get dragon qi or not.

“The important thing is to obstruct Xu Qi’an from harvesting the dragon’s qi; the day the dragon’s qi doesn’t return to its place, the more chaotic the Dafeng will be, and only then will the City Lord and the State Master succeed in their uprising.”

Ji Xuan nodded slowly.

As far as they are concerned, as long as the opponent is in a bad enough situation, the goal is achieved.

Dragon Qi could increase their leverage, but it wasn’t essential.

Xu Yuanxiang continued:

“In that case, why should we fight alone?

“The Buddha Sect is collecting the Dragon Qi, although the Duo Sentient Lohan has been captured, there are still two Vajrapani who are responsible for collecting the Dragon Qi in the Central Plains, and these are the two Third Ranks.

“The Witch God Sect’s side, I’m sure they’re similarly collecting dragon qi, so let’s join forces with the three of us and unify our fronts. Even if Xu Qi’an is stronger, he won’t be able to defeat us at the same time.

“In this way, we will be able to jam his process of collecting dragon qi and buy time for father and uncle.”

Ji Xuan laughed, “A very good way.”

Kilhuan Danxiang interjected at the right time:

“I can make a trip back to the Southern Border and convince the Compassion Clan to come to their aid and work together against the Feng. You guys shouldn’t underestimate the strength of the Compassion Clan, there are several strong people comparable to the Transcendent Realm’s battle power.

“If they are willing to make a move, the Great Bong will die.”

Willow Cottonwood laughed:

“The Companions have an enmity with Da Feng, and if it really comes to the stage of uprising, they might be able to become allies. But now well, expect them to send out experts to deal with Xu Qi An ……..”

The enchanting beauty heckled, “Don’t you forget what happened to his compulsion? If you say that it has nothing to do with your Compulsion Clan, Auntie won’t believe it.”

Beggar Dan Xiang frowned, unable to retort.

Ji Xuan said:

“This matter is feasible, as for the Companions, there is no need to contact them for now. The two Vajra’s contacts are known to us, but the Witch God Cult ………”

Xu Yuanhuai said, “Leave it to the Tianji Palace.”

Ji Xuan nodded and ended the meeting, dismissing the crowd as he did so:

“Yuanfang, stay for a moment.”

Xu Yuanxiang closed the door and sat back down at the table, watching him silently.

“What do you think of this person, Xu Qi’an?” Ji Xuan laughed.

“Very strong, frighteningly strong.” Xu Yuanfang gave a pertinent reply.

“Yeah, it’s strong ……..”

Ji Xuan sighed:

“Before the Yongzhou encounter, I, including those brothers and sisters in Subterranean City, believed that Xu Qi’an’s ability to become what he is today was all dependent on his qi.

“That may also be true, but not all of it.

“It was only after Yongzhou that I truly realized how terrifying he was. It’s the same fourth rank, and his “intent” makes me feel trembling, and this, is unrelated to qi.”

Xu Yuanfang couldn’t help but recall the sight of him decimating the Zen Master Formation with a single slash outside of Yongzhou City that day.

That blade was strong and sharp, permeated with the madness of a desperate man who could not retreat.

“I know that you were influenced by your aunt and held pity for him, believing that it was the State Master who was heartless and brutalized his flesh and blood. And Yuanhuai is more influenced by the State Master.

“Bent on surpassing Xu Qi’an and proving to the State Master that he’s no worse than that big brother in the capital, but to say that Yuanhuai has much hatred for Xu Qi’an, it’s not so much.”

Xu Yuanfang coldly interrupted, “Are you trying to tell me not to show mercy?”

Ji Xuan shook his head and smiled, “Seventh Brother wants a promise from you.”

“You say.”

“Now is not the time, when the time comes, I will tell you.” Ji Xuan laughed.

Xu Yuanxiang gave him a deep look, didn’t say anything, and left the room in silence.

………..

Capital City, Imperial City South Grand Sacrifice Hall.

There are two festivals in a year at Dafeng, the spring festival at the beginning of the year and the ancestor festival at the end of the year.

Ancestors are worshipped at Sangpo, where the ancestral tablets are enshrined, and sacrifices to the heavens are made at the Great Sacrifice Hall on the south side of the Imperial City.

When there are special circumstances, there will be a second sacrifice, a third sacrifice, and even more.

For example, when Emperor Yongxing ascended the throne, he held both ancestor and heavenly sacrifices. For example, when a national war was opened, the emperor had to lead the civil and military officials to offer sacrifices to heaven and to the ancestors.

After the winter, the cold plague swept through the Dafeng, Yongxing Emperor has always had the idea of sacrificing to the sky to pray for blessings, and now it’s the right time to take advantage of the call for donations to hold a heavenly ceremony.

At the end of the heavenly sacrifice, the court allocated funds for disaster relief, and the situation of the people improved, so is it not that he, the emperor’s prayers have achieved outstandingly effective results.

At noon, Xu Erlang rode his horse to the south of the Imperial City outside the Great Sacrifice Hall.

At this time, there was still some time left before the Heavenly Sacrifice Ceremony, and the hundred officials came one after another.

“Lord Xu!”

When Erlang Xu handed his horse over to the mandarin, he saw a group of civil officials walking over.

They who should have been cross-eyed towards Xu Erlang were extraordinarily enthusiastic today.

Xu New Year made a bow without changing his face.

“Lord Xu, this official has a good friend, recently intends to take on an apprentice to teach, heard that Lord Xu young sister talented, then took up the heart of the apprentice, entrusted this official to ask on behalf of the Lord Xu, can you look at the face of this official ……..”

“Lord Xu!” Another civil official interrupted:

“This official is a good teacher and would like to take on an apprentice, your sister is a rare seed of reading in a hundred years, this official would like to enlighten her.”

“Lord Xu ……”

“Lord Xu ……”

The ones who came over to accost were officials of mediocre positions, the real big shots were reserved, but one seemed quite concerned and were looking this way.

Xu Xinxin made a series of bowing gestures, prevaricating and squeezing out of the encirclement.

What’s it all about ………

………..

Szeto.

Yang Qianyi sat in the room, quiet and motionless, but his heart was in a state of anxiety.

Finally, footsteps sounded from the silent porch.

Not long afterward, the wide-eyed munchkin in the yellow dress appeared outside the door, looking in through the tiny breathable window, her voice as clear as a silver bell:

“Brother Yang, I went to the Bagua Terrace and saw that Mr. Supervisor Zheng’s spirit has gone out of his body.”

Yang Qianyi breathed steeply, but pressed down his inner excitement very well and asked after him:

“Shouted at him?”

“Shouted, the supervising teacher didn’t pay attention to me, I don’t know where I’ve wandered off to.” Chu Caiwei said.

“Good, very good!”

Yang Qianyi laughed out loud.

Chu Caiwei reached into her arms, fished out a note, and threw it through the door window:

“Then the deal is struck, you have to get me what’s up there in three days.”

The note is a “menu”, Chu Caiwei through Xu Qi’an’s reply, the food and wine mentioned above, listed out.

She collected it like a secret book, and had planned to follow the food on the list to travel through the rivers and lakes when she was promoted to the fourth rank in the future.

That is, until Yang Qianyi found her and asked her to secretly spy on the teacher.

Witty Chu Caiwei immediately proposed a deal, the remuneration is Yang Qianyi will be within three days, for her to collect all the food, wine.

Win-win!

Chu Caiwei heart happy, goose egg face showed a bright smile, followed by some concern, said:

“Senior Brother Yang, what are you up to again? Can’t you let Mr. Supervisor Zheng save you the trouble.”

Yang Qianyi countered:

“Who are you to talk about me, a guy who spies on his own teachers for stuttering.”

After saying that, the senior siblings wisely backed off from each other and didn’t argue more on this topic.

Of course, Yang Qianyi would not tell Chu Caiwei that he was planning to make a big mess at the Heavenly Sacrifice Ceremony.

It is not to spoil the great ceremony, but to use it as a way to become known to the world.

He’s going to donate all the money from the Szechenwald.

“The people are poor and starving, so how can we live a life of vermilion doors. I’m definitely not doing this to make a name for myself, but to do something for the suffering people.”

Yang Qianyi righteously told herself in her heart.

The clear light beneath him lit up and engulfed him.

Chu Caiwei bounced away.

In the room at the other end of the corridor, Zhong Li quietly took out a sound transmitting magic snail and whispered:

“Senior Brother Song, Senior Brother Yang really is a thief and wants to donate the money from the Sitian Supervisor like last time.

“He also asked Senior Sister Caiwei to help spy on Teacher Supervisor Zheng.”

Song Qing’s voice came from the phallus:

“Supervisor Zheng teacher’s prediction is good, I know …….. This will take out the Heavenly Chance Disk to suppress him. This idiot, he donated the money from the Heavenly Monitors, what am I going to use for alchemy experiments?

“Senior Sister Caiwei is also aiding and abetting the evil, then it seems I can only suppress her as well.

“Teacher Supervisor Zheng promised that as long as I helped him keep an eye on Yang Qianyi, he would allow me to do a human alchemy experiment. Now that there’s an additional Senior Sister Caiwei, I have to fight to get him to promise me another experiment.”

After a pause, Song Qing laughed, “Senior Sister Zhong, what did Teacher Supervisor Zheng promise you?”

Zhong Li said in a harmless whisper:

“Didn’t promise anything, I’ve just been feeling a little bored lately and wanted some company.”

………..

Jiangzhou City.

Xu Qi’an held a small half-bronze mirror in his hand and commanded as he sensed his surroundings:

“I want a bird’s eye view of the river state.”

A picture protruded from the surface of the Mirror of the Muddy Heaven God:

In a certain inn’s room, Miao Youfang was soaked naked in a medicinal bath with a pained expression, his skin as if he was a boiled shrimp.

Xu Qi’an’s expression froze for a moment, “Why are you showing me this?”

The Artifact Spirit of the Muddy Sky Divine Mirror replied, “Isn’t this exactly what you want to see.”

The corners of Xu Qi’an’s mouth twitched, “I’ve said many times that I don’t really want to watch men bathe.”

Muddy Sky Divine Mirror: “Understood, here’s a new one.”

The scene changed and a strange man appeared in the mirror bathing, looking much more handsome than Miao Youfang.

Is there something wrong with your reading comprehension? Hsuanchikan expressed himself with silence.

“Understand, you want to see females and males mating while bathing.”

Seeing that he didn’t say anything, the Muddy Sky Divine Mirror trespassed and changed the image again.

This time, the image shows a young man and woman soaking in a wide tub, naked and close together with the heat, splashing and moving intensely.

Whew …….. Xu Qi’an exhaled, “I think that we need to talk.”

The image shattered, and the “one eye” of the Heavenly Divine Mirror protruded out, scrutinizing Xu Qi’an:

“Could be.”

“There’s no need to be so serious and solemn, you can continue with the picture you just had, well, I was thinking that it would be easier to talk about it.”

When the Hunting Heaven Divine Mirror resumed live, Xu Qi’an slowly said:

“I’ve put up with you for a long time, why do you go AWOL every time?”

“Don’t you want to pry into other people’s private affairs?”

The Muddy Sky Divine Mirror had a deserving tone:

“My greatest power is the ability to let you peek into the most intimate things of others with impunity, and you will gain godlike confidence and superiority as a result.”

Did the Nine Tailed Sky Fox use you for this back then? Does she still like to watch two men bathing ………. Xu Qi’an seemed to understand.

The Mirror of the Muddy Sky continued:

“You didn’t use me to spy on the females getting out of their baths, so you should be grateful that you like to watch the males get out of their baths, I’m so sweet.”

No, I’m the only one who can look at Huaiqing and Lin’an’s bathing pictures, even if you’re a genderless artifact spirit, you can’t ………. Xu Qi’an exhaled once again:

“Don’t bother to talk to you much, my request is simple, from now on, you will do whatever I tell you to do, don’t trespass anymore.

“Otherwise, you’ll never want to be nourished by dragon energy again.”

“Alright …….” The Muddy Sky Divine Mirror compromised.

“I want a bird’s eye view of Jiangzhou City, don’t delay me from collecting dragon energy.”

Xu Qi’an had recently developed a new use for the Hun Heavenly Divine Mirror, which allowed him to observe a city through the medium of the Hun Heavenly Divine Mirror, and then find out the hosts of dragon qi that were lurking in the vast sea of people through the sensing between the fragments of the earth book and the dragon qi.

The limitation was that he needed to see the Dragon Qi Host clearly and unmistakably in the Muddy Sky Divine Mirror to be able to sense him, and was unable to directly locate the Dragon Qi Host through a bird’s-eye view of Jiangzhou City.

Xu Qi’an observed the north of the city with the Hun Heavenly Divine Mirror, looking from street to street.

On his own, he was in the south of the city, sensing the possible presence of a nearby Dragon Qi host.

The method worked well, and it took him only one morning to find a Dragon Qi host.

That guy was a vendor selling burnt cakes, and since he got the dragon’s energy, he had a red-hot birthday and became the envy of the neighborhood vendors.

Xu Qi’an bought two burritos from him and collected the dragon’s qi in passing.

………..

Yuju.

Xu Yuanfang returned from her outing and said to Ji Xuan and the others in the courtyard:

“The Canglong Seven Hosts have captured that Dragon Qi Host.

“In addition, news has come from the spies over in Xiangzhou that the two Palace Masters of the Dragon Palace in the East Sea are searching for a Dragon Qi host.”
