There were fifty Dayan numbers, and forty-nine of them were used.
Tie Xiaohu had been practicing the Stellar Condensation Technique every day, so he was no stranger to the Dayan numbers. However, he was a little confused when he heard that Mo Wudao was going to sleep for so long.
"Big Brother Yun, are you … sure?"
Ling Yun smiled and shook his head. "Even though I'm not a hundred percent sure, it won't be too far off even if it doesn't hit the mark, unless something unexpected happens.
"Mo Wudao became like this because of the Heavenly Dao. His soul left his body. Since he hasn't returned in seven days, it should be forty-nine days.
"This seems mysterious, but to put it bluntly, it's a form of punishment from the Heavenly Dao. Therefore, in terms of time limit, it should be in line with the Dayan numbers."
Ling Yun explained everything in detail to reassure Tie Xiaohu.
"Big Brother Yun, what do we do now? Are we going to wait for him here for forty-nine days? "
Ling Yun stopped in his tracks and looked at Tie Xiaohu. "To be exact, there are forty-one days left. However, the person waiting for him here isn't me, it's you."
"Me?!"
Tie Xiaohu was dumbfounded again.
Originally, Tie Xiaohu was worried that Mo Wudao wouldn't wake up. However, now that Ling Yun had explained everything to him and made it clear that Mo Wudao would be fine, he still had to wait for Mo Wudao here for more than a month. How could he accept that?
Ling Yun couldn't help but tease Tie Xiaohu. "What, you're not willing?"
Tie Xiaohu panicked. "Big Brother Yun, it's not that I'm not willing, but … if I stay here to watch over him, not only will it delay your cultivation, but who will accompany you in the future?"
Ling Yun laughed. "First of all, I don't need you to accompany me for the next few days. That's because we will enter a period of relative peace. As long as we don't provoke others, no one will dare to find trouble with us.
"To me, the next important thing is to go to the Devil Sect's main altar and bring my mother home. Before that, you just need to focus on your cultivation.
"Furthermore, letting you guard Mo Wu Dao here doesn't mean that you have to stay in this room all day. You can find a place to cultivate. You just have to come and check on him every once in a while and report to me."
Ling Yun patted Tie Xiaohu's shoulder and pointed to the south. "The Qinling Mountains are to the south. There's no lack of dragon veins there. Now that you've cultivated the Gold Emperor Raging Dragon Slash, you'll be able to easily find a place with abundant dragon energy. It'll be very beneficial for your cultivation."
Then, Ling Yun pointed to the north. "Head north from here. In the middle of the Yellow River is the hinterland of the Loess Plateau. Go there. The earth spiritual energy there is much denser than in other places. It's suitable for you to cultivate the Yellow Springs Earth Imperial Technique."
Tie Xiaohu's eyes lit up as he listened.
Ling Yun smiled and said, "This is such a good place to cultivate. If you insist on following me everywhere, then I'll do as you say. I'll have two members of the Blood Clan stay in the Qin Family to guard Mo Wu Dao until he wakes up."
Tie Xiaohu was afraid that Ling Yun would change his mind. He hurriedly said, "Big Brother Yun, I'll listen to you. I'll stay here to protect Mo Wu Dao."
Ling Yun smiled and asked, "You're really not leaving?"
Tie Xiaohu scratched his head and shook it like a rattle drum. He chuckled and said, "I'm not leaving."
Only then did Ling Yun's smile disappear. He said seriously, "I'm keeping you here not only to protect Mo Wu Dao, but also to protect the Qin Family for me. If there's really an enemy who doesn't have eyes and dares to offend us, you know what to do."
No one knew Tie Xiaohu's strength better than Ling Yun. Now that he had successfully passed the tribulation and achieved great success in body tempering, his physical body was strong and his blood energy was as vast as the ocean. His strength and defense were only inferior to Ling Yun's. He could go head to head with someone at the pinnacle of Qi Cultivation Stage Nine with his bare hands. Coupled with the Gold Emperor Raging Dragon Slash, the Yellow Springs Earth Imperial Technique, and the supreme-grade giant axe, he could definitely protect the Qin Family.
In half a year's time, Tie Xiaohu had really grown and could take charge of things for Ling Yun.
"Don't worry, Big Brother Yun!"
Tie Xiaohu's huge eyes shone brightly as he said confidently.
"Alright!"
Ling Yun smiled satisfactorily. "Don't worry, if there's really a fight, I'll definitely call for you."
"Hehe …"
Tie Xiaohu's way of expressing his happiness was very simple. He chuckled.
Ling Yun used his spiritual will to take out a newly forged Universe Ring from the Flaming Mountain and placed it in Tie Xiaohu's hand.
"This is for you. After you bind it with your blood, pour out everything in your original spatial ring and put it into this new Universe Ring. Then, give me the eliminated one."
Tie Xiaohu was Ling Yun's right-hand man. In order to make things more convenient for him in the future, Ling Yun gave him a Universe Ring.
After binding it with his blood, Tie Xiaohu wore the Universe Ring on his finger. When he sensed it, he was first dumbfounded, then ecstatic!
He was so excited that he couldn't even speak. "This … this … this …"
"Stop stuttering. Come, let's go eat."
Ling Yun smiled faintly and walked towards the entrance of the Qin Family's ancestral home.
"Big Brother Yun, I just ate. I … I'm not hungry. I want to go cultivate."
Tie Xiaohu knew that the Qin Family was going to hold a banquet to welcome Ling Yun. He really didn't like that kind of occasion. He would rather make use of the time to cultivate.
Ling Yun raised his hand and rubbed his forehead. "Look at you. Get lost!"
Tie Xiaohu felt as if he had been pardoned. He actually ran away and headed straight for the Qin Mountains.
…
In order not to let the noise affect Mo Wudao, Qin Changqing didn't hold the banquet at the Qin Family's ancestral home. Instead, it was held at his eldest son's house, Qin Chunfeng's house.
After Ling Yun entered the Qin Family's ancestral home, he used his divine sense to scan the area. He had already discovered that there was no banquet prepared. Moreover, Qin Changqing and the rest didn't follow him in. Hence, Ling Yun walked out immediately after visiting Mo Wudao.
The Ancient Qin Village was divided into two halves by the wide east-west road in front of the Qin Family's ancestral home. The Qin Family's ancestral home was naturally on the north side of the road, facing south.
As the eldest son of the Qin Family, Qin Chunfeng's house was on the south side of the road. It was located in the southeast corner of the Ancient Qin Village. The courtyard was extremely large, occupying at least an acre of land. It was surrounded by trees and beautiful scenery.
After walking out of the Qin Family's ancestral home, Ling Yun was brought here by Qin Changqing.
On the way, Qin Changqing naturally asked Ling Yun about Mo Wudao's situation. Ling Yun didn't intentionally hide anything. He roughly told him about his deductions. However, Ling Yun didn't mention the possibility that Mo Wudao's soul might have been attracted to the array of Emperor Qin's mausoleum.
After all, that was just a guess.
Another reason was that the Qin Family was the tomb keeper of Emperor Qin's mausoleum. Ling Yun didn't want to violate certain taboos of the Qin Family just because of a guess. That was purely looking for trouble.
The two of them walked very quickly. When they arrived at Qin Chunfeng's house, Ling Yun realized that the people who came out to welcome him were already waiting for him. In the main house, a sumptuous banquet had already been prepared.
As soon as Ling Yun and Qin Changqing arrived, the men, women, and children of the Qin Family all came out to welcome them. Each and every one of them had blazing gazes and didn't conceal the worship and respect in their eyes.
"Where's the propriety?!"
Qin Changqing saw that it was going to be a mess. He hurriedly stopped everyone and brought Ling Yun into the main house.
The table was filled with delicacies, and the aroma of the dishes wafted in the air.
"Uh … why are there only these few seats?"
Ling Yun noticed that there were only five seats around the huge dining table in the main house. He couldn't help but ask.
Qin Changqing smiled. "Yun Er, don't worry. The people you brought are staying in the best hotel in the Qin Family. Moreover, I've already arranged everything. I'll definitely be able to take good care of them.
"Tonight, here, this dinner was specially arranged for you by Grandpa Qin. It's a celebration and a welcoming dinner for you!
"Most importantly, it's to thank you for your great kindness to the Qin Family!"
Qin Changqing's voice was clear and straightforward. "Therefore, other than your two uncles and Dong Xue, I won't allow anyone else to sit at the table."
Ling Yun was a little embarrassed after hearing that. He scratched his head and said, "Uh, Grandpa Qin, you're making it too grand. We're a family, there's no need for that."
"Who said that?!"
Qin Changqing glared at him. "I know what I'm doing. You've done so much for my Qin family, and we can't repay you. If I don't even give you this treatment, and your grandfather finds out about it in the future, won't he block my door, point at my nose, and scold me?"
Qin Changqing couldn't help but laugh. He had no choice. The Heavenly Sword Sect had been uprooted by Ling Yun. It could be said that all their enemies were gone. They basically had nothing to worry about.
As they spoke, Qin Chunfeng, Qin Xiahua, and Qin Dongxue also came in and took their seats.
Qin Changqing was the main host. His seat was facing the door. Opposite him was the vice-host, Qin Chunfeng. Qin Xiahua and Qin Dongxue sat across from him.
Ling Yun sat on Qin Changqing's right, and Qin Dongxue sat on Qin Chunfeng's left.
Qin Dongxue's features were picturesque. Her lips were crimson, and her eyes were watery. Her beautiful face was slightly flushed, and she was obviously uncomfortable.
She secretly sent a telepathic message to Ling Yun. "Isn't it just a meal? Just eat when I tell you to. What's with all this nonsense? "
"Oh."
Ling Yun immediately became well-behaved. He also sent a telepathic message. "Where's my mom? Why isn't she here? "
"My sister lives in the west of the village. She told me to bring you to see her after you finish eating." Qin Dongxue replied.
"Okay."
Ling Yun agreed immediately. He knew in his heart that tonight's banquet wasn't that important to him. What was truly important was to have a long talk with Qin Qiuyue.
The food and wine had already been prepared, and the banquet started immediately.
In the end, this banquet, including eating and chatting, lasted for a full three hours before it ended satisfactorily.
Since Qin Qiuyue, Qin Dongxue, and Qin Chunfeng returned a day earlier, Qin Changqing and the rest had already understood the entire process of the trip to Lingyun Sky Mountain.
After the banquet, Ling Yun said his goodbyes and went to the west of the village to meet Qin Qiuyue under Qin Dongxue's lead.
