Chapter 223 Nine-barreled Divine Jade
The cold wind howled and heavy snow fluttered in the night.
The cold moon and stars cast a shadow on the tall figure of the woman in the snow...
Gu Qinghuan approached slowly, her expression softening. She raised her slender hand slightly and swung the Changkong Spear into an ingenious flower stand. Drops of blood fell, and the cold blade became spotless.
"Owner."
The woman spoke softly, returned the spear and the cold jade, and then stood quietly beside Zhao Qing.
My aunt smiled and reached out to wipe the blood from her forehead...
Seeing the cold jade fall into Zhao Qing's hands, the Sun family disciples looked at each other in silence.
That is definitely a treasure!
The man in the mysterious delphinium just now has already said it - in the past four years, Sun Binghao has made rapid progress and has crossed three realms in a row. It seems that there is an opportunity!
It is obvious that the cold jade must be extraordinary!
It is not only the reason why Sun Binghao's cultivation level has improved rapidly, but also the fundamental basis for him to wipe out the late stage of Qi training!
But that seemingly weak woman was too strong. Before the time had passed, she had shot Binghao to death...
The disciples remained silent and turned their eyes to the patriarch.
Sun Zhaolin's lips trembled slightly, not knowing how to start...
With his cultivation level in the middle stage of foundation building, he has a clearer perception of Gu Qinghuan's strength. He is afraid that Zeng Nian Ke will not be able to gain any advantage from her.
However... this is just a female cultivator practicing Qi, and she is the person with the lowest status in this group!
She called Zhao Qing the Master, and she should be a servant kept in captivity by his side, yet she had such powerful strength.
What about the other two Qi-cultivating women...?
For a moment, Sun Zhaolin thought of the aggressive words that the woman surnamed Zhou had said before, and he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
It is obvious that Zhou Xiaoyi and the pretty female cultivator following Zhao Qing are probably more powerful.
At this moment, Sun Zhaolin actually felt it was extremely unreal. When did Qigong cultivators become so powerful?
Although the four members of his Sun family were at the foundation-building stage, they were not afraid of the group of people in front of them.
but……
Sun Zhaolin took a deep look at Zhao Qing and realized that this person must have a great background. Was the Blood Clothes Tower stationed in the State of Chu?
Could the senior executives of a commercial building be so terrifying?
He thought again of the man in the jade. Although he didn't know his level of cultivation, he was able to investigate the Sun family's origins so clearly...
"cough!"
Zhao Qing, who was discussing Han Yu with Si He, glanced sideways at this moment.
The Sun family patriarch arranged the blood banner and Sun Binghao's storage ring, and laughed loudly, "If it weren't for Fellow Daoist Zhao being here, the four foundation-building cultivators of my Sun family would probably not be able to subdue this evil beast!"
Zhao Qing: ...
What nonsense are you talking about? Four foundation-building cultivators can't beat Qi training cultivators?
He shook his head and said, "Fellow Daoist Sun, you're joking."
Sun Zhaolin sighed deeply, folded the blood banner in his hand, and whispered: "My Sun family is indeed from Thunder Emperor State, it's just an old story of my uncles and aunts."
"This banner is a disaster. The evildoer has killed countless people. I'm afraid it's related to this."
He handed over the blood banner and storage ring in his hand and said with a smile: "Daoyou, why don't you help us to the end and take these evil objects away with you, so as to prevent my Sun family from causing trouble again."
Zhao Qing: ???
He glanced at the storage ring in Sun Zhaolin's hand. Isn't this bad?
"Qing Huan."
Gu Qinghuan raised her eyes slightly, took the storage ring and blood flag with a smile, and put them away together.
Sun Zhaolin smiled broadly and sighed, "Don't worry, fellow Daoists. Even if there is an occasional conflict between the Sun and Zheng families, it will not affect the several commercial buildings in the south of the town."
Zeng Nianke nodded slightly and said with a smile, "Then we'll go to the Zheng family again and clarify the misunderstanding."
Go to Zheng's house?
Sun Zhaolin waved his hand and said, "I'll go to the Zheng family in person to explain. It's winter and snowy, and I really feel bad for troubling you guys any further."
Zhao Qing remained silent, wondering how come this guy changes his expression faster than turning the pages of a book?
……
Two sticks of incense later, with Sun Zhaolin seeing them off all the way, Zhao Qing and his companions finally arrived at the gate of the Sun family. They boarded the blood-stained spirit boat, which turned into a stream of light and disappeared into the snowy night.
In another direction, two foundation-building cultivators came hurriedly on the wind. Seeing Sun Zhaolin standing outside the door, they hurriedly asked, "Brother, what happened at home?!"
Sun Zhaolin shook his head slowly: "It's okay..."
He glanced sideways slightly, questioning, "Where's the third brother?"
The two male cultivators who had just returned looked at each other, and one of them said in a deep voice, "The elder of the Longevity Sword has arrived in the caverns of our spiritual mine, and my third brother is with him."
Um! ?
Sun Zhaolin was stunned for a moment. His family's spiritual mine had originally been taken from the Changsheng Sword Sect, and now that Elder Murong had come knocking on his door again...
It should be related to the spiritual ore that Sun Binghao obtained from it!
He stared deeply at the direction where the spirit boat disappeared, and couldn't help feeling a little relieved.
This Zhao Qing must have elders with higher cultivation levels in his family!
"Let's go and take a look in the mine."
After a moment's hesitation, the other person slowly said, "What should we do if the Changsheng Sword Sect wants to take back the spiritual mine?"
Sun Zhaolin considered for a moment and said, "Then let's rob the Zheng family of half?"
……
A moment later, the spirit boat of the Xueyi Commercial Building landed in the manor outside the town and sent Zhao Qing and others back home.
Zeng Nian Ke was tactful enough not to stay any longer. He said that he had important matters to attend to at the business building, and then he drove away in the spirit boat.
In the east wing of the backyard, next to the huge soft couch is an extremely soft animal satin carpet. A few luminous pearls are reflected by the bronze mirror, making the entire bedroom brighter.
The two fireplaces occasionally made crackling sounds, blocking out the wind and snow outside the window.
Shuyue had already laid on the soft couch, talking about Sun Qian...
Although she didn't know the specific details, she had heard her husband mention it a few years ago.
Zhao Qing had just arrived at the Dan Hall, and with a very well-behaved junior sister serving him, he said that he could only take advantage of the situation...
My aunt took off her boots and socks and carefully examined the cleaned flags, whispering from time to time, "This Sun Qian incident has obviously annoyed Qinghuan."
Zhao Qing was silent for a long time, then said slowly: "Although there is not much connection, but..."
"It was just a fleeting romance, but when we met again many years later, you were already a cold corpse."
Zhou Xiaoyi nodded slowly, stood up and sat on the edge of the bed, gently pinching Zhao Qing's forehead: "After years of wind and frost, old friends wither and die, it is inevitable."
"The immortal path is vast and long. Let's keep going. When we look back, I'm afraid it will be a different time and a different world..."
Zhao Qing remained silent.
In the blink of an eye, nearly ten years have passed, and the people and scenery of those days have all turned into dust and disappeared.
years……
Immortality...
Practice...
In the quiet and warm bedroom, only a sigh remained.
·
In the west wing opposite, steam rose from the air. In the large bathtub, Qing Huan's delicate body was faintly visible.
After washing all the blood stains off her body, she tied up her wet hair, stepped out of the bathtub with her delicate feet, simply covered herself with underwear, and walked into the wind and snow.
The snow was icy beneath her bare feet, and the howling night wind penetrated every pore. The woman tightened her underwear, her phoenix eyes swept across the lonely and cold snowy night, and she pushed open the door of the east wing.
The snow and wind before her eyes vanished, transforming into a bright and warm bedroom. She felt the touch of velvet and satin beneath her feet, and the woman smiled, "Master."
Zhao Qing smiled and said, "You can use the Changkong Spear. I'll buy you a new one."
Qing Huan took a leisurely step, bent her jade feet and knelt beside the man, leaning on the soft couch and smiling and shaking her head: "Qing Huan should study the Dancao scriptures first."
The aunt's beautiful eyes fluttered, and she smiled as she watched Qinghuan kneeling at her feet. She didn't think there was anything unusual, and she casually summoned the heater and placed it next to Qinghuan.
Shuyue took out a wooden comb, got off the bed and helped her tidy up her wet hair. The family of four gathered together, quiet and peaceful.
At this moment, Zhao Qing took out the cold jade...
"This is Sun Binghao's opportunity."
Shuyue sat on the ground, playing with Qinghuan's hair with her delicate hands, and said in a crisp voice: "This jade piece was able to directly attack and kill Qinghuan at that time. It must be controlled by someone."
My aunt leaned on her side on the soft couch, supporting her delicate head with her fair wrists, carefully sensing the wonder in the cold jade.
Qing Huan reached out and took the jade pendant, whispering, "There is an inexplicable power within it, and the spiritual energy it urges is extremely condensed..."
Four pairs of eyes stared at the jade pendant.
Zhao Qing laughed and said, "How long will you hide, fellow Daoist?"
Gu Qinghuan's eyes trembled slightly, and she looked at her aunt, then placed the jade pendant on the stove.
A faint spiritual energy wave was heard, and an old voice sounded faintly...
"It's been so many years since I've encountered such an arrogant youngster. How dare you, with your Foundation Establishment body, call me a fellow Daoist?"
Zhao Qing raised his eyebrows and said, "Chen Changsheng, I have called you fellow Taoist. Why are you pretending to be such a big shot when you have been dead for who knows how many years?"
When Shuyue heard the sound coming from the jade pendant, she did not feel scared, but instead moved closer to observe carefully.
If this jade pendant was dangerous, Zhao Qing would not let it appear in the bedroom... He took it out after Qinghuan finished bathing, so it was obviously an interesting thing.
Zhao Qing hesitated for a moment and said, "I'm honored to meet you, Senior."
"Humph!"
"The boy is quite courageous!"
"This little girl of yours has extraordinary means!"
Zhao Qing smiled and said, "Young man Zhao Qing, may I know what your name is, Senior?"
Spiritual energy emanated from the jade pendant: "Don't bother with this. You are not qualified to know my name. How can a small country like Chu know the vastness of the world?"
"I have traveled across the ocean, coming from outside the Endless State..."
Zhao Qing: "Thunder Emperor State?"
"Hmm? You're quite knowledgeable. I never thought such a knowledgeable person could exist in such a small country like Chu!"
"Why not take me as your master? Then you can have the opportunity to travel to Zhongzhou in the future!"
The old voice spoke slowly, its tone full of arrogance and disdain for the remote State of Chu.
But what he waited for was indeed his aunt's teasing: "The one who just died, was he also your apprentice?"
Zhao Qing: ...
He chuckled and said, "I wonder what benefits Master can bring to this disciple?"
The warm bedroom fell into silence for a moment...
After a while, the jade pendant on the heater began to emit spiritual energy again.
"I can help you rise to prominence within the family, surpassing all your peers in cultivation strength and avenging all past grudges!"
Zhao Qing took Shuyue's shoulders and said, "Master, our parents died young, and we have no family."
"Why don't you consider Xiaoyi? Xiaoyi isn't having a good time in the family."
Zhou Xiaoyi rolled her beautiful eyes, adjusted her posture, and spoke softly, "Master, I have countless enemies at home. Please teach me!"
Sun Huaizong's infant instinctively sensed something was amiss within the jade pendant...
The old voice came again: "The little girl's aptitude is acceptable, but she is not suitable for inheriting my mantle. I do not accept female disciples."
Zhao Qing smiled but said nothing.
Si He had just told him that this guy wanted to train Sun Binghao into a cauldron and find an opportunity to take over his body and replace him.
A male cultivator would definitely not try to possess a woman's body unless it was absolutely necessary...unless he was a pervert.
Sun Huaizong pondered and said, "If you don't have a family, do you have any enemies in the sect?"
"Given your strength and cultivation, you shouldn't be the chief disciple, right?"
Zhao Qing pointed with his finger: "We are independent cultivators, a family of four, and we don't belong to a sect."
"A self-reliant cultivator... For a self-reliant cultivator to have been able to cultivate till this point, he must have had some luck. Meeting me today is a great fortune for you!"
That's true...
Zhao Qing nodded heavily: "Indeed!"
The voice rang out again: "My true form is a calamity-crossing cultivation. A wisp of divine consciousness has drifted into the mortal world, but I know all kinds of skills and secrets. I can help you conquer the world."
"It would be of no benefit to you to talk too much. I suppose you have never witnessed the unpredictable methods of the Great Power."
Mighty?
The owner of the Blood Clothes Tower is now working as a talisman maker at the Wanxiang Sect. Not to mention meeting her, Qing Huan even raised her for half a year...
As for the so-called ability to overcome tribulations, it was obviously bragging.
There are only a few Yuanying in the Sun family of Leihuangzhou. This was said by Sun Shixuan himself. Si He also said that this guy is just an ordinary Yuanying. After encountering a disaster, the remaining Yuanying escaped and named himself Hanyu to seek a chance of survival in the future.
The old man's laughter echoed in the bedroom...
"The Soul Refining Banner is in your hands now, right? I can teach you the secret technique of Soul Refining and help you refine a divine weapon!"
Zhao Qing frowned slightly.
He took out a mahjong tile carved from spiritual jade and asked, "Master, do you know what this is?"
Sun Huaizong: ...
"It's quite strange. With my current perception, I can't even detect the slightest abnormality!"
There's nothing abnormal about it...
After Shuyue tidied up the loose hair on Qinghuan's forehead, a smile flashed in her bright eyes, and she said in a crisp voice, "This is my husband's opportunity."
"Legend has it that before the Dao Catastrophe, nine jade carvings were scattered across the world, and this one is one of them... the Nine-Barrel!"
"From the secret realm of the desert, if you can gather nine jade carvings into one body, you can summon the sword of the ancient immortal sect that guards the state!"
The stove made a crackling sound, and the jade pendant fell silent for a moment.
"This nine-cylinder is the one with the most seals among the nine jade carvings. Each dot represents a seal. Removing a seal will allow you to learn a secret technique."
An old man's laughter emanated from the jade pendant: "Little girl, do you think I'm stupid?"
Zhao Qing: ...
He pondered for a moment and displayed his Burning Heart Divine Ability. He already possessed a thousand-day foundation of Dao, and now the spiritual power around him became even more condensed. The pressure of his foundation-building aura continued to rise, faintly overshadowing the aura that an ordinary mid-stage foundation-building cultivator should have.
"Master, this is the secret method of the first seal."
"This Nine-Barrel Divine Jade was taken from beneath the vast desert of the Li Kingdom. According to Master Chen of the Changsheng Sword, this jade is extremely magical and has absorbed endless vitality, which is why the desert stretches between the Chu Kingdom and the Li Kingdom."
"The second seal requires thunder magic to break it. I wonder if Master has any secret method to pass down?"
Sun Huaizong felt the condensed spiritual power outside the jade, and for a moment he was a little confused about the situation.
Judging from their words, they don’t seem like ignorant casual cultivators.
But the Nine-Barrel Divine Jade...? Does it still require thunder magic to unseal it?
Why does it sound so weird! ?
He pondered for a long time, chuckled and said, "I have many thunder techniques, so I will record them carefully."
"I'd like to see what's so wonderful about this little jade carving?"
"Under the Nine Heavens Ying Yuan, read the treasured book and examine the jade book."
"Five thousand calamities ago, the position was true, and the power was great..."
My aunt took out the jade slip and carefully recorded the unreliable thunder magic secrets...
After a long moment, the old voice of the mantra ended: "With diligent practice, this fragment of the Dao technique should be enough to remove the second seal."
Shuyue said in a crisp voice: "Shuyue thanks Master for his guidance."
Sun Huaizong laughed heartily as he listened to Zhao Qing introduce the three beautiful ladies around him.
Regardless of whether this guy has ulterior motives or it's really a coincidence... after he takes over, these three women will just be his playthings.
Zhao Qing smiled and said, "Master, our cultivation is shallow and we need to rest. Let's leave it at that for today."
"This kid is quite lucky. This girl named Gu is so capable that she is willing to serve as a slave!"
Zhao Qing: "I have a Taoist companion. I will take Master to see her tomorrow. She is incredibly beautiful and absolutely one of the most beautiful women in the world."
"Oh?"
"did not expect……"
The voice stopped abruptly, and the jade pendant had already been put into the storage ring.
Zhao Qing casually threw Sun Binghao's storage ring outside the bedroom, picked up Qinghuan's slender waist and walked onto the soft couch.
"It's an evil crippled baby. Let's talk about it when we meet Si He tomorrow."
Shuyue's eyes flickered, her face full of unsatisfied feelings. She gently pulled the silk to cover the light of the night pearl and said with a crisp laugh, "Xiaoyi, don't go."
"Take Qinghuan with you to build your foundation!"
Zhou Xiaoyi pursed her red lips, took the teacup from the bedside table and smiled without saying a word.
