The Celestial Sphere Divine Mirror said,
"You have already seen my ability. I can silently absorb the target's soul and control the body through the soul, turning the target into a puppet.
"The great king relied on me to subdue many great demons. But now, I can only absorb the Heavenly Soul and let the body die slowly.
"Yes, if the target is an ordinary creature or has an extremely low cultivation level, I can still control them. It doesn't have to be face-to-face to absorb the Heavenly Soul. You can even forcibly control it from thousands of kilometers away. "
Forcibly controlling someone from thousands of kilometers away is as perverted as taking a person's virginity from thousands of kilometers away … Xu Qi'an couldn't hide his surprise and felt that it was somewhat unreasonable.
The Celestial Sphere Divine Mirror added,
"The farther the distance, the weaker the control. Usually, I can only control creatures without intelligence from thousands of kilometers away. Now that I am incomplete, I can no longer use this ability.
"The disadvantage is that the puppet state I control can't be concealed. It will be recognized at a glance by experts with high cultivation levels or proficient in the soul domain."
If the distance was too far, even ordinary people couldn't control it.
Xu Qi'an was enlightened.
"My second ability is to illuminate the entire Nine Provinces, regardless of distance. However, I can't spy on some special places, such as the Buddhist Sacred Mountain, Alantuo. "
The Celestial Sphere Divine Mirror sighed, "My body is already incomplete and can't illuminate the entire Nine Provinces. But it shouldn't be a problem for me to cover a radius of two thousand kilometers. "
"How do I use you? Do I bind it with blood?" Xu Qi'an asked.
The Celestial Sphere Divine Mirror sneered.
"Don't compare me to that low-level magic artifact. As long as I recognize you and am willing to cooperate with you, you can use me. If I'm not willing, it won't matter even if you bind it with blood. "
The Book of the Earth fragment has been affected … Xu Qi'an grunted and suddenly thought of why the Book of the Earth fragment didn't have self-awareness as they were both incomplete magic artifacts.
If I can only cover a radius of two thousand kilometers, I won't be able to see the situation in Cloud Province. Well, I'll give it a try first. Xu Qi'an immediately said,
"Can you illuminate the capital of Daibun?"
The Celestial Sphere Divine Mirror hesitated, "There is a Rank 1 Warrior and a Rank 1 Warlock in Daibun. I can't illuminate them."
"It's fine. That Warrior has been dead for hundreds of years. A Rank 1 Warlock shouldn't care about you."
Xu Qi 'an patted the mirror, signaling it to act quickly.
It didn't seem to know that those with luck couldn't live forever. As Xu Qi 'an thought to himself, the surface of the bronze mirror changed. The bronze material disappeared, and it became as clear as glass.
A magnificent city was reflected in the mirror.
Xu Qi 'an, who had looked down at the capital several times, immediately recognized that it was the capital.
"Mirror"
The Divine Mirror of Chaos transmitted its thoughts to him.
"He's the supervisor …" Xu Qi 'an nodded. "Ignore him. He's just an old man."
King. King. Nine Supervisor Can's King. King. God.
The Celestial Sphere Divine Mirror said proudly, "Now you know how powerful I am."
The capital is less than two thousand miles away.
"Locate the capital … move seven hundred feet to the north, then ten feet … Okay, can I see through the house?"
Through communication, the mirror displayed the scene in Lin 'an's bedroom in Shaoyin Palace.
She's not in Shao Yin Palace.
"Can you locate me? Well, next time you can see this place. I don't need to show you the way. "
"You seem to doubt my ability."
The Celestial Sphere Divine Mirror said, "Do you need me to locate the bathtub? I know males like to see females bathing."
I'll come back at night. "Xu Qi'an said," Nonsense. I'm different from the males you know. "
The Celestial Sphere Divine Mirror was surprised. "You like to see males bathing?"
Are you a supporting character?! Xu Qi'an asked the Celestial Sphere Divine Mirror to locate the Xu Mansion. This time, it was considerate enough to locate the bathtub.
"Isn't this the room of Second Uncle and Aunt …" Xu Qi'an was stunned.
He said angrily, "No, I don't need a bathtub here. Are you really a decent magic weapon?"
"You really like males!" The Celestial Sphere Divine Mirror realized.
Xu Qi'an didn't bother to explain to a psychopath. He set the location in the inner hall of the Xu Mansion.
"Hey, Lingyin is going out? Is she going to school?"
In the picture, he saw Xu Lingyin carrying a "schoolbag" made of a small cloth bag, with her hair tied up in a bun. She was reluctantly led out by Xu Erlang.
His aunt was giving him instructions on the side, saying something.
The Celestial Sphere Divine Mirror didn't have a voice function. It could only see the picture.
"Aunt still hasn't given up on Lingyin's studies. What a great mother's love! Even after countless times of despair and face-slapping, she still hasn't given up her wish to see her daughter become a dragon."
Xu Qi'an joked. After locating the Xu Mansion, he asked the mirror to locate the Lingbao Temple.
The picture changed. A magnificent Taoist temple appeared, and then a quiet courtyard appeared. In the courtyard, a beautiful woman wearing a feather coat and a lotus crown was sitting cross-legged above the pond.
She was meditating with her eyes closed.
Suddenly, she opened her eyes and looked at Xu Qi'an.
The next moment, the picture was broken. The Celestial Sphere Divine Mirror screamed.
"I'm blind … That woman is an Earth Immortal!"
It suffered a backfire.
The Nation Master was one step closer to passing the Heavenly Tribulation. The Celestial Sphere Divine Mirror regarded her as a Level One Earth Immortal … Xu Qi'an was both happy and worried.
He was happy that her cultivation had improved and she was close to becoming an Earth Immortal.
He was worried that he couldn't control this shark at all. Even if he recovered his cultivation, how could a Level Three Warrior control a Level One Earth Immortal?
The fish in the pond would never have a chance to get out.
…
The capital city.
Xu Erlang went back to his mansion for lunch today because he wanted to pick up Xu Lingyin to study in the palace.
After finalizing the donation, the Yongxing Emperor summoned Xu Erlang to the Imperial Study. He praised him and expressed his intention to promote him.
He encouraged Xu Erlang to work hard and live up to the expectations of the imperial court.
At the end of the conversation, the Yongxing Emperor said, "I heard that Xu Lingyin is at the age of enlightenment.
"I heard that Xu Aiqing's younger sister is at the age of enlightenment. She is similar in age to the princes and princesses in the palace. Why don't you let her enter the palace to study and be personally taught by the Grand Tutor?"
Xu Erlang immediately understood that the Yongxing Emperor was expressing goodwill and trying to win him over.
It was a great honor for the children of the officials to enter the palace to be a study attendant. Usually, only the princesses and princes of the royal family, as well as the children of some nobles and important officials were qualified.
But Xu Erlang didn't want such a "gift", so he hurriedly refused.
The Yongxing Emperor was a little unhappy. He ignored Xu Erlang's refusal and forcefully gave the order.
When the Emperor showed kindness to the officials, how could they refuse? Besides, he seemed to be trying to win over Xu Erlang, but everyone knew who he was trying to win over. Therefore, he did not care about Xu Erlang's opinion.
The Emperor's order could not be disobeyed, so Xu Erlang could only agree.
When he returned home and told his mother, his aunt was overjoyed. She thought that her stupid daughter's luck had finally changed.
Taifu was a person who taught princes and princesses. It should be no problem for him to teach Lingyin how to read.
Last time, because Lingyin hit the princes, she was expelled from the palace. His aunt still regretted it.
In the carriage, Xu Erlang glanced at his sister who was sitting obediently on the long bench and said,
"In the palace, no matter what Taifu … Teacher asks you, you must say that you have never studied and know nothing. Do you understand?"
Xu Lingyin nodded vigorously.
"Yes!
"I will study hard and pass the imperial examinations like Second Brother."
"No, I only beg you to spare Taifu's life …" Xu Erlang muttered in his heart.
After thinking for a while, he touched Xu Lingyin's head and said,
"If anyone bullies you, you can beat him. If anything happens, I will take care of it for you."
After a pause, he quickly added, "Be careful and don't hit people with all your strength."
Someone might die.
"Oh!"
The little bean nodded with a little naivety.
Xu Erlang immediately felt relieved. Under normal circumstances, Lingyin was very obedient. She was also very good-tempered and would not easily get angry unless her food was robbed.
Soon, the carriage entered the imperial city and was stopped outside the palace gate.
After Xu Erlang explained the situation, the Yulin Guard entered the palace to inform. After a while, a eunuch came out, bowed to Xu Erlang, and brought Xu Lingyin into the palace.
The place where the princes and princesses, as well as the heirs of princesses, attended classes was called the "Study Room".
Xu Lingyin looked around in surprise. Although she had been to the palace once, it was obviously not enough to satisfy the child's exuberant curiosity.
As she walked, she suddenly saw a simple but elegant dress coming from afar.
"Sister, sister …"
The little bean was pleasantly surprised. He made a loud noise and waved at the elegant dress.
Hearing the noise, Huaiqing looked over. Seeing the round girl, she was slightly stunned. She greeted her with a faint smile.
"You still remember me?"
"When my big pot died, you came to my house," Xu Lingyin said loudly.
This doesn't sound right … Huaiqing nodded with a smile.
"What are you doing in the palace?"
Xu Lingyin's naive face showed a little confusion. "What is kidney surgery?"
"What are you doing here?" Huaiqing changed the way she phrased it.
"I'm here to study. Mother asked me to study."
The little bean answered every question with an innocent look on his face.
Huaiqing glanced at the eunuch.
The latter said, "His Majesty gave special permission for Miss Xu to study in the palace."
Huaiqing said, "I'll take her to the Study Room."
The eunuch didn't dare to refuse. He bowed and left.
"Let's go!" Huaiqing looked at the little bean gently.
She didn't have much contact with Miss Xu. She only saw her once at Xu Qi 'an's funeral. She didn't pay much attention to her after that.
After all, no matter how close she was to Xu Qi 'an and how much she appreciated Xu Erlang, it was impossible for her to keep paying attention to a six or seven-year-old child at home.
She didn't even know that Lina had taken Xu Lingyin as her disciple. She didn't know how powerful the little bean was.
Number One had always been cold and unsociable. None of the members of the Heaven & Earth Society would talk to her about these daily matters.
"Sister, you're so beautiful."
Little Bean walked beside Huai Qing and said as he raised his head.
Huaiqing smiled.
"Sister, you're so beautiful."
After a while, she said again.
Huaiqing lowered her head and saw that the little girl's big eyes were shining with a flattering look.
"What do you want to say?"
Huaiqing squinted and easily saw through the little girl's thoughts.
"Can I go to your house for pastries?"
The little bean's true intentions were revealed.
Huaiqing smiled. "Sure."
She had always admired smart people. Smart children were also one of them. In addition, this child was not only smart but also brave.
Not long after, the little bean followed Huaiqing to the Study Room.
In the spacious hall, there were twelve tables with twelve children sitting obediently behind them. Their eyes were focused as they listened attentively to the Grand Tutor's lecture.
Taifu was close to eighty years old. He was a veteran of three dynasties. He was a Bingyan during the reign of Joan of Arc. He had taught the Yuanjing Emperor and Huaiqing in Lin 'an. Now he was going to teach the new generation of the royal family.
When the Yuanjing Emperor was cultivating and neglecting his duties, Taifu rushed into the palace and scolded the incapable emperor outside the Imperial Study.
Then he was disheartened and lived in seclusion in the capital.
After Yuan Jing's death, he was one of the few people who knew the secret. So he untied the knot in his heart and picked up the job he loved again.
"Taifu!"
Huaiqing stepped over the threshold with the little bean and bowed.
"Greetings, Princess Royal."
The Grand Tutor bowed in return.
"Greetings, Princess Royal."
More than a dozen princes, princesses, princesses, and heirs stood up and bowed.
Huaiqing nodded slightly and looked at Xu Lingyin.
"This child has troubled Taifu. She is Xu Qi 'an's younger sister. Don't bully her. "
She brought Xu Lingyin here mainly to warn the younger generation of the royal family, so that this silly child would not be bullied here.
Taifu smiled and said, "Princess Royal, don't worry. This child is very powerful."
He told her about Xu Lingyin's last feat.
Huaiqing looked at the round and cute girl in surprise and said with a smile,
"I worry too much."
Taifu said meaningfully,
"Your Highness is too distant from the affairs of the palace."
Huai Qing smiled and didn't say anything else. He took his leave.
Taifu waved his hand and asked Xu Lingyin to come in front of him.
He asked, "I didn't have time to test you last time before you left the palace. Where did you get enlightened before coming here? Who is your enlightened teacher? "
The little bean tilted his head and thought for a moment, then answered honestly,
"I forgot."
？ Taifu was stunned. He had forgotten his enlightened teacher. Or, this child had not been enlightened yet?
He thought for a moment and said, "Can you recite the Three Character Classic?"
"Yes, I can."
Xu Lingyin nodded excitedly.
Taifu's expression softened. He nodded with a smile, "Recite it for me."
…
After leaving the palace, Huaiqing went to the Hanlin Academy to tell Xu Erlang what Xu Qi 'an had told her.
The Yongxing Emperor was very afraid of her and her brother, the Fourth Prince. Therefore, this matter had to be told by Xu Erlang.
If the Yongxing Emperor knew that Xu Qi 'an was in close contact with her in private, he would be suspicious.
It was the most sensitive time for a new emperor to ascend to the throne. Huaiqing did not want to cause trouble.
"Alas, it takes more than a day to freeze the world."
Xu Xinnian was full of emotions.
"Governing a country is like cooking a small dish. It is important to plan slowly. But if the country is beyond cure, how can it be governed? His Majesty, Wang Shoufu, and the officials in the court have no similar experience. "Huaiqing said lightly,
"Your excellency Xu, do you remember the bet we made that day?"
Xu Xinnian showed a solemn expression and hesitated for a few seconds, "Of course I remember."
Huaiqing nodded, "We'll wait and see."
After a pause, she changed the topic, "The Heaven-worshipping Ceremony will be held in three days. His Majesty will call for donations. How much is your excellency Xu going to donate?"
Xu Xinnian knew that she was reminding him, so he said,
"Your Highness, don't worry. I have already discussed it with my brother.
"I will donate three months' salary, and my brother will donate 5,000 taels of silver.
"In this way, I will not be impeached for donating too much, and no one will accuse me of promoting donations while being stingy."
A mere Shu Jishi donating 5,000 taels of silver was bound to cause trouble.
But if he did not donate, he would be scolded like a storm.
"That's good."
Huaiqing was instantly relieved and said, "I saw your excellency Xu's sister in the palace on my way here."
When he heard this, Xu Erlang's face was filled with worry.
"If Your Highness has nothing to do today, can you stay in the Imperial Study?"
Huaiqing said with a smile, "Is your excellency Xu afraid that she will be bullied?"
"I am thinking about Taifu's safety …" Xu Erlang sighed again and told her about the little bean's glorious deeds one by one.
He said helplessly, "I have already refused His Majesty, but His Majesty is stubborn. Alas."
Huaiqing was stunned.
She made the teachers of Mount Qingyun hide when they saw her, made Li Miaozhen grind her teeth, made Chu Yuanzhen's face turn pale, and made Simu Wang, who was famous for her talent, cry …
"Your sister must be pretending to be stupid and doesn't like to study." Huaiqing said.
"If she pretended to be stupid, the teachers of the Academy, Taoist Li, Brother Chu, and Si Mu would not be so frustrated. They would even cry because of the frustration. "
Xu Xinnian smiled bitterly.
It was because they really couldn't learn that they felt that they were failures and unworthy to be teachers.
Thus, they had strong self-doubt and self-denial.
If Lingyin pretended to be stupid, they would laugh it off and would not get angry at all.
Huaiqing was dubious and returned to the palace. As soon as she stepped into the palace, she received the news,
Taifu suddenly fell ill and was bedridden!
Huai Qing was taken aback. He thought to himself, Grand Tutor was fine just now, why did he suddenly fall ill …
She thought of what Xu Erlang said just now and her heart suddenly sank. She immediately went to visit him.
Huaiqing lifted the hem of her dress and rushed to the Imperial Study. She saw Taifu lying on a small bed and several imperial doctors were examining him.
"Your Highness, Princess Royal."
The imperial doctors all bowed to her.
Huaiqing waved her hand and her cold and beautiful face was full of seriousness.
"How is Taifu?"
An imperial doctor said, "Princess Royal, don't worry. Taifu is fine. He suddenly has headache and dizziness. He will be fine after resting in bed for a few days."
Another imperial doctor added, "But he can't be stimulated during this period. He needs to rest."
In simpler words:
Taifu is fine. Taifu's blood pressure is just soaring!
Huaiqing walked to the bedside and looked at the weak Taifu. She softly asked, "What happened to Taifu? What happened?"
Taifu said weakly,
"Help me up. I can do it. I don't believe there is such a fool in the world.
"I must teach her to recite the Three-Character Classic today. Otherwise, I will have read the books of sages for a lifetime in vain."
Huaiqing was slightly moved. She held Taifu's withered hand and said, "Taifu, this is too hard for you."
Taifu said excitedly,
"No, even if I die, I will teach her to recite the Three-Character Classic.
"I have taught the former Emperor and His Highness. I can't lose my integrity in my old age."
No, no, your death will be too worthless … Huaiqing didn't know how to comfort him for a while.
At this time, Taifu's eyelids turned and he fainted.
…
Xiangzhou!
Dongfang Wanrong was riding in a big carriage. Dozens of Eastern Sea Dragon Palace disciples were following her.
Beside her was Dongfang Wanqing, who looked the same but had a cold temperament.
"Master, we have collected eight Dragon Breath hosts. Should we send them back to Jingshan City?"
Dongfang Wanrong asked.
"No need!"
Nalan Tianlu's voice sounded in her mind, saying gently,
"Dragon Breath has the characteristic of mutual attraction. The more fragmented Dragon Breath we collect, the more we can attract other Dragon Breath hosts.
"If we send them back to Jingshan City, we will lack a magnet to find a needle in a haystack."
Dongfang Wanrong nodded and asked,
"You might as well occupy the body of a Dragon Breath host. They are all lucky and have deep blessings."
Nalan Tianlu smiled and said,
"What deep blessings do they have? In the eyes of a Transcendent Realm powerhouse, they are just lucky to get some benefits. The person whom Master wants to possess must be a Transcendent Realm powerhouse.
"If it doesn't work, a Peak Grade Four is also fine, just like you."
Dongfang Wanrong giggled and said, "This disciple is willing to sacrifice for Master."
Nalan Tianlu shook his head, "Glib tongue."
Although a Peak Grade Four is rare, it is not difficult to find. There is no need to possess a disciple.
Besides, this disciple is a girl, and Nalan Tianlu is not willing to resurrect as a girl.
Dongfang Wanrong thought for a moment and asked curiously, "What if I can possess Xu Qi'an? That is a deep blessings. "
"…" Nalan Tianlu shook his head and laughed,
"This child is full of karma. Master would rather exist in the state of a lonely soul than possess him."
After a pause, he continued,
"In Nine Regions, Master knows that only Nine-tailed Celestial Fox of the Ten Thousand Demon Country can create a perfect body with her own spirit.
"If I can make a deal with her, Master doesn't have to possess her."
The sequelae of possessing a body were great. The body and the primordial spirit would repel each other, and it would take hundreds of years to get used to each other.
In other words, for hundreds of years, it would be difficult for his cultivation to advance.
Dongfang Wanrong pondered and said,
"We are collecting Dragon Breath hosts, and Buddhism is also collecting Dragon Breath hosts, as well as that Xu Qi'an.
"Master, do you think that all of us will meet at some point in time, in some place?"
Nalan Tianlu gave an affirmative answer,
"Yes, it must be very exciting.
"At that time, Master will give you a helping hand.
"Wei Yuan captured Jing Shan City and killed my son. I will kill the junior he relies on to settle this karma. "
