Hum!
In the Temple of Providence, two yellow dragons of providence that were five feet long appeared.
The golden light of providence that they spat out fell on an Extraordinary Rank-5 Commander-level Soul of Civilization and a heart that was as blue as glass.
It was exactly the Pure Blue Glass Heart, the Perfect offering that Ji Ye obtained from the Eagle Men's seed of providence!
"Whoosh!"
After being hit by the golden light, the offering immediately emitted an intense blue light.
In the next moment, the entire Temple of Providence turned into an environment similar to the Eagle Men's settlement.
Also, it was a very vast environment.
In the middle of the blue wind, the Eagle Man player that the heart belonged to stood emotionlessly on a mountain hundreds of meters high and looked down at the Soul of Civilization on the ground!
At this moment, the Soul of Civilization, triggered by the power of providence of the Twin Dragon Mount fort, changed and condensed into a man with a fuzzy face but a handsome body.
"Your lips are red, your eyes are lacquered, and your face is like jade. He was valiant, ambitious, intelligent, and talented. Phoenixes trample on jade and peacocks fly through flowers. You are truly handsome. Who can learn all kinds of romance … "
This time, the poetic announcement sounded a little different from the domineering tone of Lu Zhishen, Wu Song, and Yang Zhi when they descended. It clearly had a sense of elegance to it.
"It's Xiaoyi!"
At the entrance of the Temple of Providence, a rather excited voice called out.
At the entrance of the Temple of Providence, apart from Su Nongying, there was also a native hero.
He was none other than Lu Junyi, the Jade Qilin who made great contributions in the battle against the Eagle Men after his last arrival!
As a matter of fact, the Soul of Civilization that was summoned this time was obtained by him after he killed an Extraordinary Rank-5 Eagle Man Commander.
At this moment, the Heavenly Spirit Star, who was also quite relaxed when faced with almost ten Extraordinary Rank-4 and Rank-5 Eagle Men, put on a nervous and expectant expression.
That was because, judging from the content of the poem, the hero that was summoned this time had a special relationship with him.
Xiaoyi, Yan Xiaoyi, was Yan Qing, the Rogue who ranked last among the 36 Heavenly Spirits!
Yes, Tiangang, who was ranked last, had responded to the summon of a Perfect tier offering.
How exactly are the heroes on the Land of Inheritance rated?
According to the conclusion drawn by the Confederation Office after collecting enough information, it should be decided by two parties.
On one hand, it had to do with the combat strength or skills that the hero had shown, and on the other hand, it had to do with the hero's popularity in the civilization that the hero belonged to.
If they were strong enough, they could rely on their own combat power or skills to pass the test.
On that basis, the more popular the heroes were, the more they would be boosted and helped by the power of providence when they arrived!
That could be seen from the difference in the arrivals of Lu Zhishen, Wu Song, Gongsun Sheng, and Yang Zhi.
Lu Zhishen, who was the first to descend, immediately strangled the black snake to death. Throughout the entire process, the Perfect-grade offering could be said to have no ability to resist at all.
When Wu Song faced the Goldwing Tiger, it was also extremely easy for him. With three punches, he sent it sprawling on the ground.
This was because Wu Song had no intention of killing it and fusing with it. Instead, he wanted to transform it into his own "weapon."
Otherwise, he could've killed it with only one punch.
Gongsun Sheng, as the only master of magic among the 108 generals who had never been defeated, faced the siege of the Mirage Monsters with the Mirage Dragon, but the battle was rather difficult. It took him a long time to finish the battle, and it was partly due to luck!
When Yang Zhi arrived, he was, in a sense, at a disadvantage, and he had to stabilize his wounds with the help of the power of providence!
The latter two might not be much worse than the former two in terms of strength and level, but they were clearly not as popular as the former two.
Moreover, according to Ji Ye's observation, popularity could even affect a hero's potential.
For example, Nie Xiaoqian, who had made great contributions in the battle against the Eagle Men and was very popular, had been rated as a Commander from a Quasi Commander.
Also, after she successfully reached Extraordinary Rank-5 the day before, she received a talent ability that was even more powerful than that of an Excellent hero.
After Ninth Uncle's advancement, he could invite several gods at the same time, which was undoubtedly very powerful too.
What level of a hero should Yan Qing be?
Judging from the ranking of Liangshan, as the last of the Heavenly Spirits, he should be Superior at best.
However, the fact that he could respond to the summon of a Perfect offering proved that he had the ability to challenge Perfection (a Superior hero could also challenge a Perfect offering to gain higher abilities and potentials, provided that no Perfect hero responded first). He might even be Perfect himself!
Ji Ye wasn't too surprised by the evaluation.
It was because, technically speaking, the last sixty chapters of Water Margin devoted as much attention to this prodigal son as Song Jiang did!
Perhaps Yan Qing's martial arts weren't the best in Liangshan, but he was indeed Perfect in certain aspects.
"… Escape suspicion after success. Nothing can go wrong with a clever mind. Nothing in the world can compare to him. The cicada feels the wind before it moves! "
That could be seen from the poem that echoed in the Temple of Providence and the Eagle Men's settlement.
"Xiaoyi … Don't worry. I won't doubt your words anymore! "
Lu Junyi, who was standing next to Ji Ye, was undoubtedly the most touched when he heard the poem.
The most admirable thing about Yan Qing was exactly what the poem said. "Nothing can go wrong with a clever mind. The cicada feels the wind before it moves!"
Lu Junyi, whom Song Jiang "admired", was born to a wealthy family and was a good man with excellent martial arts skills. To strengthen Liangshan, he sent Wu Yong to the Lu family to tell Lu Junyi's fortune by pretending to be a fortune teller, claiming that Lu Junyi would face a bloody disaster and had to hide a thousand kilometers to the southeast.
Lu Junyi believed it without a doubt and planned to take Li Gu to Tai'an State for business to avoid the disaster. Yan Qing, however, tried to stop him, believing that the road to Tai'an State wasn't safe. He also pointed out that the fortune teller must be from Liangshan and was trying to trick Lu Junyi into going there.
Unfortunately, Lu Junyi didn't listen to him and fell into his trap.
During the expedition against Wang Qing, Yan Qing advised Lu Junyi not to fight in person. After Lu Junyi refused, he asked five hundred infantrymen to cut down trees and build a pontoon bridge near Pingquan Bridge. Lu Junyi lost the battle, and the bridge was crushed by the soldiers. Thanks to the pontoon bridge that Yan Qing built, the army was saved.
When he was sent to the capital city by Song Jiang to convey Liangshan's willingness to enlist in the name of Li Shishi, Li Shishi, who was fascinated by his charm and wanted to see his "tattoo". In a moment of desperation, he had a brainwave and called Li Shishi "sister", which calmed the fire in Li Shishi's heart and helped Liangshan's great cause!
After the Liangshan army defeated Fang La and returned to the capital, Yan Qing met Lu Junyi in private and advised him to retire and live the rest of his life incognito.
Lu Junyi refused, and Yan Qing tried to persuade him with the excuse that Emperor Gaozu of Han killed the meritorious officials, but Lu Junyi refused again. Yan Qing had to bid farewell to Lu Junyi and left. Then, Lu Junyi was poisoned with mercury by Gao Qiu's royal wine and couldn't ride a horse. In the end, he fell off the boat and died!
Although those things only appeared in Lu Junyi's future "fate" and technically speaking, he hadn't experienced them yet.
Also, he had arrived at the Twin Dragon Mount and had nothing to do with the court of the Song Dynasty or Liangshan.
However, it also made him realize the flaws in his temperament!
"Xiaoyi, you must defeat this Eagle Man so that you and I can reunite on the Twin Dragon Mount!"
Because of that, Lu Junyi looked forward to Yan Qing's arrival at the Twin Dragon Mount the most.
Apart from the fact that Yan Qing was smart enough to make up for his shortcomings, it was also because Yan Qing would definitely be on his side after he arrived at the Twin Dragon Mount because of their close relationship.
Lu Junyi didn't intend to establish his own stronghold.
However, while the Twin Dragon Mount was not a large settlement, technically speaking, there were "factions" in it too. For example, Wu Song and Lu Zhishen were close to the former Commanders, and Gongsun Sheng and Ruan Xiaoer were close friends …
As a "model" that Song Jiang intentionally set up, he was already in an awkward position on Liangshan in the first place. Few people were friends with him except Yan Qing.
Also, he had arrived at the Twin Dragon Mount a little late. Although he had made great contributions in the battle against the Eagle Men, he hadn't been integrated into the settlement yet.
Naturally, he was eager for Yan Qing's arrival!
