Chapter 118: The Beautiful Lady in the Distance
The streets and alleys of East City were full of people talking.
As the crowd surged, a carriage drove into the city.
”Many people from other places have poured into East City.”
Through the gap in the curtain, his cold eyes swept across the long street: “Many people are also talking about the filth.”
”After all, the fall of the capital is known to everyone.”
In front of the carriage throne, a spy from the Luo family said calmly: “Although the people are uneasy, thanks to the joint efforts of the Luo family and King Dingjiang, Liang State is still in order. Everyone is guessing who will ascend the throne and become the new emperor and take control of the government again.”
”What is the situation in other countries now?”
”It’s in chaos.” The spy said calmly: “News came back two days ago that two famous sects in Wei State were completely destroyed, and several senior officials died due to the filth. The martial arts world in Chen State has become even more bloody. I don’t know how many warriors have been involved, and the death toll is no less than a hundred.”
”.Have you investigated the source of the filth?”
”Both the Luo family and King Dingjiang are trying their best to investigate, but now there is no gain.”
The spy sighed lightly: “These filths seem to have appeared out of thin air, and there is no way to know where they came from.”
”It’s really a disaster from heaven.”
”It is a blessing in disguise that Madam Qiu can lead the clan to join us.”
”It is truly a blessing from heaven that you can have Shifei to help you.”
The beauty in the room stroked her veil and smiled faintly: “What do you think of
Young Master Yang
in the Luo family?” The spy was silent for a moment and whispered: “The son-in-law has amazing skills and a peaceful temperament. We all like him very much. The old patriarch and others who are far away in our family also think highly of him.”
”That’s good.”
Both parties remained silent until the carriage stopped in front of the mansion.
It was still dawn and it was a little quiet outside the courtyard.
Yang Shifei stood by the well and bowed his head silently to wash.
Several days have passed since Liang Xin suddenly revealed his true appearance.
In the past few days, in addition to practicing martial arts, he had to accompany Liang Xin to study the files of government affairs. At the same time, he talked more with the spies in the palace and the Luo family, and kept an eye on the developments in various places.
The filth spread faster than expected.
”Other countries are not stupid either. They are more or less aware of the importance of the Taiwu Saint Soldier. This soldier can suppress evil spirits and also dispel filth.”
Yang Shifei was thinking about the future arrangements, and casually fumbled for the wet cloth beside him, but he didn’t touch it.
He tilted his head in confusion, but his cheek was gently poked by the fingertips.
”You got up so early?”
A familiar and charming smile came into his eyes, and Yang Shifei was stunned.
Qiu Buhuan raised a playful smile, shook his slender fingers, and said mischievously: “Are you still asleep, so you are stupid?”
”When did you come?”
”Just arrived.”
Qiu Buhuan was about to make another joke, but Yang Shifei suddenly picked her up by the waist and turned around the yard twice excitedly.
The young woman cried out, and her white skirt fluttered.
”You”
Qiu Buhuan blushed and flicked his forehead: “It’s only been a few days since we last met, and you look so excited!”
”How can I not be happy that Sister Qiu suddenly visited me?” Yang Shifei couldn’t help laughing, still holding the young woman’s waist tightly: “Is everything going well in the villa?”
”With help from all sides, the settlement went smoothly.”
Qiu Buhuan touched her plump lower lip and teased ambiguously: “How did you get along with the girls during the days I was away?”
”Of course it was good.”
Yang Shifei stroked her face: “I just missed you a little.”
Qiu Buhuan moved his palm away and said angrily: “You are so cheesy so early in the morning, you are not ashamed.”
Yang Shifei loosened his arms and gently held her hand.
The young woman blushed slightly and let herself be pulled out of the backyard.
”You came so early, have you had breakfast?”
”I ate two bites of dry food.”
”I’ll take you to the town to eat something later.”
Yang Shifei chuckled, “How long will you live in Dongcheng, or will you settle down permanently?” Qiu Buhuan
rolled his eyes at him, “Your little thoughts can’t be hidden from me. If you really settle down so early, I don’t know how much advantage you will take of me.”
Yang Shifei quickly said seriously, “I just want Bingtan to have in-depth cooperation with my Luoyue Pavilion as soon as possible.”
”You’re so funny~”
Qiu Buhuan poked his waist with a sly smile.
The two sides had been apart for several days, but their feelings had not cooled down. Instead, they were even sweeter and warmer after meeting each other.
”Although the villa has been settled, I still need to go back to take charge of the reconstruction and smelting of Tianlu Mountain. I can’t leave for too long. This time I rushed back to East City because I have something to discuss.”
She told the truth very frankly, and pointed outside the courtyard: “However, I asked the Luo family’s spies to help buy a house, which is not far from you. If you have time in the future, you can come back and stay for a few days.”
Yang Shifei’s eyes moved slightly: “What’s the urgent matter that requires you to rush back overnight?”
”Of course it’s about you.”
Qiu Buhuan’s answer made Yang Shifei startled.
”My.”
”You, you have to take care of yourself more.”
Qiu Buhuan stroked his chest and said softly, “I told you at the time that I would help you find more ways to practice normally in ancient books.”
Yang Shifei was gradually surprised: “Found it?”
”Yes.” Qiu Buhuan smiled and said, “There are no less than tens of thousands of books in my sect, many of which I have never read. I have been looking for them for some time and finally got something.”
She took out an ancient book from her arms: “This is ‘Qi Men Xuan Cai’, which is a record of various strange stories recorded by the master in the past. It records a kind of strange physique that cannot condense the Dantian that everyone has, and even cannot practice the inner breath normally. It can be called ‘Tian Jue Wu Mai’.”
Yang Shifei looked strange: “This name sounds quite domineering.”
Qiu Buhuan said helplessly: “Although the name is good, most of these people who cannot practice are weak and sick, and there is almost no way to improve it.”
Yang Shifei was thoughtful. If there was no cold air to transform his flesh and blood, his body would indeed be very weak, which is very similar to the description of Tian Jue Wu Mai.
”The master has recorded a solution.”
Qiu Buhuan turned the ancient book to a certain page: “Since this kind of people cannot cultivate internal energy, then use external forces to help him cultivate.”
Yang Shifei carefully read the contents of the book and was shocked.
This requires refining dozens of natural materials and treasures to forge a Dantian in the body that can cultivate on its own.
”Can this really be done?”
”We can even forge the Taiwu Saint Weapon, so why can’t we do this?” Qiu Buhuan raised a confident smile.
Yang Shifei’s mind moved slightly: “These materials should be expensive?”
Qiu Buhuan’s smile faded a little, a little embarrassed: “My sect has stocks of dozens of these materials, and I think that with Sister Luo’s family background, she can collect them all. But there are two precious materials among them, which are a bit rare.”
”‘Purple Phoenix Stone’ exists in deep valleys with heavy yin and humid air.”
”The other is called ‘Youjing Flower’. As far as I know, it is found in the depths of Jiuhuan Mountain between Xu and Chen. The locals should know more details.”
”As long as these two materials are collected, we can start to create the ‘Xuanxin Dantian’ for you.”
Qiu Buhuan said softly: “Let’s not talk about the Purple Phoenix Stone for now. The Youjing Flower blooms in mid-spring every year. If you miss it, you have to wait another year. Once the flower is picked, the medicinal power will quickly dissipate, and it must be taken on the spot.”
Yang Shifei frowned when he heard it: “Doesn’t that mean that we have to start shaping the Dantian in Jiuhuan Mountain?”
”Once the Youjing Flower is taken, it will turn into pure aura and flow into the Dantian and stay there for more than a few years.”
Qiu Buhuan’s words made Yang Shifei understand what she meant.
”Do I have to go to Jiuhuan Mountain in person and swallow the ghost essence on the spot?”
”Yes.” Qiu Buhuan said seriously: “There are frequent chaos in various places. I am worried that Jiuhuan Mountain will gradually get out of control. It will be more troublesome to take the ghost essence at that time.”
Yang Shifei stroked his chin and thought secretly.
”How far is Jiuhuan Mountain from Liang State?”
”About six days’ journey.”
”Okay.” Yang Shifei’s heart was slightly relieved.
He quickly smiled and gently hugged the young woman’s body: “Thanks to my sister’s guidance.”
Feeling her chest being pressed, Qiu Buhuan blushed: “As a sister, of course I have to take care of you more.”
Creak-
just at this moment, the courtyard door was suddenly pushed open.
Yang Shifei and Qiu Buhuan looked at the same time, and Tan Xiang happened to appear in front of the door.
The two sides met their eyes and fell silent.
”.”
Tan Xiang narrowed her eyes: “So Miss Qiu is here today.”
Qiu Buhuan smiled slightly: “Sister Tan Xiang is here quite early too.”
A strange atmosphere filled the courtyard gate, eyes were electric, and there was a hint of tension.
Yang Shifei was about to speak to ease the situation, but Tan Xiang sighed first:
”It’s good that Miss Qiu is here. The young lady has something to discuss. Why don’t we go to Luo’s house together?”
”Okay, we’ll go later.”
There are only two updates today
