Chapter 567

Ji Xuan thought for a moment and shook his head.

"Let's continue to collect the scattered Dragon Breath and let the Seven Constellations of the Blue Dragon subdue the Great Host.

"Haha, we can't track Xu Qi 'an's whereabouts now. It will be bad if we meet him in Yuzhou. Just like we didn't expect to meet him in Yongzhou.

"If it's the Seven Constellations of the Blue Dragon, they have the real third-class combat capability. It will be easier for them to deal with them.

"Even if they are no match for Xu Qi 'an, they can always get away."

Hearing this, everyone nodded in silence.

Liu Hongmian and Elixir Fragrance of Joy breathed a sigh of relief, and their tense faces relaxed a lot.

After breakfast, Ji Xuan and the others returned to their temporary residence, which was an abandoned yard in the slum. There were many empty yards like this in the small county.

Their owners might have gone to their relatives because of poverty and famine.

It was also possible that he had died in one of the robberies, and his whole family had not been spared.

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

In the shabby room, Ji Xuan sat at the table and focused on the box in his hand.

The red sandalwood box was opened, and the array engraved on it disappeared. Inside was a bead shining with scarlet light.

It was as big as a pigeon's egg.

It concentrated the essence of an Unparalleled Warrior's Qi and blood.

Ji Xuan stared at it for a few seconds, and his eyes were a little unfocused, and his thoughts drifted far away.

Knock, knock!

At this time, someone knocked on the door.

Ji Xuan's pupils contracted, and he recovered from his unfocused state. He closed the box and put it in his arms, with a smile on his face.

"Come in."

Xu Yuanshuang pushed the door open, glanced at the shabby room, and the almost non-existent furnishings, and said, "Seventh Brother."

Behind her were Elixir Fragrance of Joy, White Tiger, Liu Hongmian, and Xu Yuanhuai.

Ji Xuan glanced at them and said with a smile, "What do you want to tell me?"

Xu Yuanshuang nodded.

"I do want to discuss it with you."

"After the battle in Yongzhou, Taoist Priest Banana Leaf died. Liu Hongmian and the others were all scared out of their wits by Xu Qi 'an. Even Yuan Huai, who was the most unconvinced, lost his confidence."

Liu Hongmian exclaimed, "I am just a woman. That Xu Qi 'an is fierce and overbearing. It is natural for me to be afraid."

Xu Yuanhuai, but he couldn't refute his sister's words.

"Brother," Yuanhuai said.

Ji Xuan was silent for a moment. "And then?"

The one-armed white tiger let out a "heh".

"During this period of time, I've been thinking about it. Actually, it's not necessary to collect Dragon Energy. It doesn't matter if we can get the Dragon Qi or not.

"What is important is to stop Xu Qi 'an from getting Dragon Breath. As long as Dragon Breath doesn't return, Daibun will be in chaos, and the Governor and the Nation Master will succeed."

Ji Xuan nodded.

For them, as long as their opponent was in a bad situation, they would achieve their goal.

Dragon Qi could increase their bargaining chips, but it wasn't necessary for them to have it.

Xu Yuanshuang said,

"Since that's the case, why should we fight one on one?

"Buddhism is collecting Dragon Breath. Although Passion Arhat is captured, there are two Vajras in the Central Plains collecting Dragon Breath. They are Third Class Vajras.

"The Witchcraft Sect is also collecting Dragon Breath. Let's join forces and fight together. No matter how strong Xu Qi 'an is, he can't defeat us at the same time.

"In this way, we can stop him from collecting Dragon Breath and buy time for Father and Uncle."

Ji Xuan smiled, "That's a good idea."

Joy Medicinal Fragrance interrupted at the right time,

"I can make a trip back to Southern Border and convince the Gu race to help, and we can rebel together. Don't underestimate the strength of the Gu Clan, they have several experts with battle prowess comparable to Transcendents.

"If they are willing to help, Daibun will die."

Liu Hongmian smiled,

"The Gu Race and Daibun have a grudge. If it comes to the stage of rebellion, they might become allies. But now, if we count on them to send experts to deal with Xu Qi 'an … "

The enchanting beauty snorted, "Don't forget, what's up with his Gu technique? I don't believe you if you say it has nothing to do with the Gu Race. "

Joy Medicinal Fragrance frowned, unable to refute.

Ji Xuan said, "This is feasible.

As for the Gu Race, we don't need to contact them for now. We know how to contact the two Vajras, but the Witchcraft Sect … "

Xu Yuanhuai said, "Let Divine Mystery Palace handle it."

Ji Xuan nodded and ended the meeting. As he sent everyone away, he said,

As he sent everyone away, he said, "Yuan Shuang, stay."

Xu Yuanshuang closed the door, sat back at the table, and looked at him silently.

"What do you think of Xu Qi 'an?" Ji Xuan smiled.

"Very strong, terrifyingly strong." Xu Yuanshuang gave a pertinent answer.

"Yes, very strong …"

Ji Xuan sighed,

"Before the battle in Yongzhou, I, and the brothers and sisters in Hidden Dragon City, all thought that Xu Qi 'an's achievements today were all due to luck.

"That might be right, but it's not completely right.

"After Yongzhou, I truly realized how terrifying he is. We are both fourth-grade, but his' intent 'makes me tremble, and this has nothing to do with luck. "

Xu Yuanshuang couldn't help but think of the scene outside Yongzhou City when he destroyed the Zen Master Array with one slash.

That slash was powerful and sharp, and there was an inescapable madness in it.

"I know that you are influenced by my aunt and feel pity for him. You think that the Royal Master is heartless and cruel, and he killed his own flesh and blood. But Yuanhuai is more influenced by the Royal Master.

"He wants to surpass Xu Qi 'an and prove to the Royal Master that he is not worse than the big brother in the capital. But I don't think he hates Xu Qi' an so much."

Xu Yuanshuang interrupted him coldly, "Are you telling me not to show mercy?"

Ji Xuan shook his head and said with a smile, "Seventh Brother wants a promise from you."

"Say it."

"Now is not the time. I will tell you when the time is right," Ji Xuan said with a smile.

Xu Yuanshuang looked at him deeply, said nothing, and left the room in silence.

…

In the Grand Sacrificial Hall in the capital city.

There were two sacrificial ceremonies in Daibun every year: the Spring Sacrifice at the beginning of the year and the Ancestral Sacrifice at the end of the year.

The Ancestral Sacrifice was at the Sampo where the ancestral tablets were worshiped, and the Heaven Sacrifice was at the Grand Sacrificial Hall in the south of the capital city.

In special circumstances, there would be a second, a third, or even more.

For example, when the Yongxing Emperor ascended the throne, he held the Ancestral Sacrifice and the Heaven Sacrifice at the same time. For example, when there was a war, the Emperor would lead the civil and military officials to worship the Heaven Sacrifice and the Ancestors.

After winter, the cold disaster swept Daibun. The Yongxing Emperor always had the idea of worshiping the Heaven Sacrifice and now it was a good time to call for donations to hold the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony.

After the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony, the imperial court would allocate funds for disaster relief, and the people's situation would improve. Wasn't it an effective result of his prayers?

At noon, Xu Erlang rode a horse to the Grand Sacrificial Hall in the south of the capital city.

There was still some time before the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony, and the officials came one after another.

"Your excellency Xu!"

Xu Erlang handed the horse over to the official and saw a group of civil officials walking over.

They were supposed to be cold to Xu Erlang, but today, they were exceptionally warm.

Xu Xinnian bowed with his hands folded in front of him without batting an eyelid.

"Your excellency Xu, I have a good friend who is planning to take in a disciple. He heard that your excellency Xu's younger sister is talented and intelligent, so he wanted to take her in as a disciple. He asked me to ask on his behalf if your excellency Xu, for my sake …"

"Your excellency Xu!" Another civil official interrupted.

"I like to be a teacher and also want to take in a disciple. Your younger sister is a rare scholar, and I am willing to be her mentor."

"Your excellency Xu …"

"Your excellency Xu …"

Those who came over to strike up a conversation were all ordinary officials. The real big shots were naturally reserved, but they seemed to be paying attention and were looking over.

Xu Xinnian bowed again and again, brushed them off, and squeezed out of the encirclement.

What the hell was going on …

…

Celestial Commissioner.

Yang Qianhuan sat cross-legged in the room, quiet and motionless, but his heart was in a state of anxiety.

Finally, the sound of footsteps echoed in the quiet corridor.

Not long after, a cute girl in a yellow dress with big eyes appeared outside the door. She looked in through the small ventilation window, and her voice was as clear as a silver bell.

"Senior Yang, I went to the Eight Trigrams Platform to take a look. Teacher Supervisor's Primordial Spirit has left his body."

Yang Qianhuan's breathing suddenly quickened, but he managed to suppress the excitement in his heart and asked,

"Did you call him?"

"I did, but Teacher Supervisor ignored me. I don't know where his mind is." Chu Caiwei said.

"Good, very good!"

Yang Qianhuan laughed heartily.

Chu Caiwei reached into her pocket, took out a piece of paper, and threw it through the door and window.

"Then the deal is done. You must help me get the things on the list within three days."

The piece of paper was a "menu". Chu Caiwei listed the food and wine mentioned on the list through Xu Qi 'an's reply.

She kept it as a secret book. Originally, she planned to travel around Jianghu according to the food on the list when she was promoted to the Fourth Rank.

Until Yang Qianhuan found her and asked her to secretly monitor her teacher.

The quick-witted Chu Caiwei immediately proposed a deal. The reward was that Yang Qianhuan would collect food and wine for her within three days.

It was a win-win situation!

Chu Caiwei was happy, and a bright smile appeared on her oval face. Then she said with some worry,

"Senior Yang, what kind of trouble are you going to cause? Can't you let Teacher Supervisor save himself some trouble? "

Yang Qianhuan retorted,

"You're just a guy who spies on his teacher because of a stutter. What right do you have to criticize me?"

After that, the Senior Brother and Junior Sister tactfully took a step back and didn't argue on this topic.

Of course, Yang Qianhuan wouldn't tell Chu Caiwei that he planned to make a scene at the Heaven-Worshipping Ceremony.

He didn't want to ruin the ceremony, but he wanted to make a name for himself.

He wanted to donate all the money of the Celestial Commissioner.

"The common people are poor and suffer from hunger and cold. How can we live a luxurious life of wine and meat? I'm not doing this to be in the limelight, but to do something for the people who are suffering. "

Yang Qianhuan told himself righteously in his heart.

Light lit up under him and engulfed him.

Chu Caiwei skipped away.

In the room at the other end of the corridor, Zhong Li secretly took out a Communication Conch and whispered,

"Senior Brother Song, Senior Brother Yang really doesn't want to give up. He wants to donate all the money of the Celestial Commissioner like last time.

"He even asked Junior Sister Caiwei to help him monitor Teacher Supervisor."

Song Qing's voice came from the Communication Conch.

"Teacher Supervisor is right. I got it … I'll take out the Heaven Secrets Compass to suppress him. This idiot, if he donates all the money of the Celestial Commissioner, what am I going to use for my alchemy experiments?

"Junior Sister Caiwei is also helping the evildoer. Looks like I have no choice but to suppress her.

"Teacher Supervisor promised me that as long as I help him keep an eye on Yang Qianhuan, he'll allow me to do a human alchemy experiment. Now that there's Junior Sister Caiwei, I have to get him to promise me another experiment. "

After a pause, Song Qing smiled and said, "Junior Sister Zhong, what did Teacher Supervisor promise you?"

Zhong Li whispered innocently, "He didn't promise anything.

"I didn't promise anything. I just feel a little bored recently and want to find someone to accompany me."

…

Jiang State Capital.

Xu Qi 'an held a small bronze mirror in his hand and sensed the surroundings as he instructed, "Don't worry.

"I want to have a bird's eye view of Jiang State."

An image appeared on the surface of the Celestial Sphere Divine Mirror.

In a room in an inn, Miao Youfang was soaking in a medicinal bath naked. His expression was painful, and his skin was like a cooked shrimp.

Xu Qi 'an was stunned for a moment. "Why are you showing me this?"

The artifact spirit of the Celestial Sphere Divine Mirror replied, "Isn't this what you want to see?"

The corners of Xu Qi 'an's mouth twitched. "I've said it many times. I don't want to see a man bathing."

The Celestial Sphere Divine Mirror replied, "Understood. I'll change it now."

The image changed, and an unfamiliar man bathing appeared in the mirror. He looked much more handsome than Miao Youfang.

Is there something wrong with your reading comprehension? Xu Qi 'an expressed his attitude with silence.

"Understood. You want to see a male and female bathing while mating."

Seeing that he didn't speak, the Celestial Sphere Divine Mirror changed the image again.

This time, a young man and a woman appeared in the image. They were soaking in a large bathtub, clinging to each other in the steaming hot water. Water splashed everywhere, and they were exercising intensely.

Phew … Xu Qi 'an exhaled. "I think we need to talk."

The image shattered, and the "single eye" of the Celestial Sphere Divine Mirror protruded, scrutinizing Xu Qi 'an.

"Sure."

"There's no need to be so serious and solemn. You can continue with the image just now. Yes, I think it will be easier to chat like this."

When the Celestial Sphere Divine Mirror resumed its live broadcast, Xu Qi 'an slowly said, "I've tolerated you for a long time.

"I've tolerated you for a long time. Why do you always act on your own?"

"Don't you want to pry into other people's secrets?"

The Celestial Sphere Divine Mirror said matter-of-factly.

"My greatest ability is to let you pry into the most private matters of others without any scruples. You will gain godlike confidence and a sense of superiority because of this."

Back then, Nine-tailed Celestial Fox used you to do this? Does she like watching two men bathe … Xu Qi 'an seemed to understand.

The Celestial Sphere Divine Mirror continued.

"You didn't use me to spy on females coming out of the bath, so you like to watch males coming out of the bath. You should be glad that I'm so considerate."

No, only I can see Huaiqing and Lin An's bathing scene. Even if you are a genderless artifact spirit, you can't … Xu Qi 'an exhaled again.

"I can't be bothered to talk to you. My request is very simple. In the future, do whatever I tell you to do. Don't make decisions on your own.

"Otherwise, don't even think about being nourished by Dragon Breath."

"Alright …" The Celestial Sphere Divine Mirror compromised.

"I want to have a bird's eye view of Jiang State Capital. Don't delay me from collecting Dragon Breath."

Xu Qi 'an had recently developed a new usage of the Celestial Sphere Divine Mirror. He could use the Celestial Sphere Divine Mirror as a medium to observe the situation of a city. Then, through the connection between the Earth Book fragment and Dragon Breath, he could find the host of Dragon Breath hidden in the vast sea of people.

The limitation was that he needed to clearly see the host of Dragon Breath in the Celestial Sphere Divine Mirror to sense him. He couldn't directly locate the host of Dragon Breath through a bird's eye view of Jiang State Capital.

Xu Qi 'an used the Celestial Sphere Divine Mirror to observe the north of the city, looking at street by street.

He was in the south of the city, sensing the possible presence of Dragon Breath hosts nearby.

This method worked very well. It only took him one morning to find a host of Dragon Breath.

That guy was a shaobing vendor. Ever since he obtained Dragon Breath, his birthday was prosperous and he became the envy of the nearby vendors.

Xu Qi 'an bought two shaobings from him and took away Dragon Breath.

…

Yuzhou.

Xu Yuanshuang returned and said to Ji Xuan and the others in the courtyard, "The Seven Constellations of the Blue Dragon have captured the host of Dragon Breath.

"The Seven Constellations of the Blue Dragon have captured the host of Dragon Breath.

"In addition, the secret agents in Xiangzhou sent news that the two Palace Masters of the East Ocean Dragon Palace are looking for the host of Dragon Breath.
