The Yellow River Meeting affected the thoughts of countless people in the world.
Not only Qin Chu, but also Jing Mu.
In a small courtyard in Xin 'an City, Li Jianqiu pushed open the door and walked in alone.
The famous peach branch in the Zhuang Nation hung on his waist. His figure was bleak.
He had failed.
In the competition for a spot in the Yellow River Meeting, he lost to Lin Zhengren, who was from Wangjiang City's Dao Academy.
The Zhuang Nation had only risen to a new level through the country war last year. They needed time to digest the gains from the war. After all, they didn't have enough foundation. They couldn't produce a young and powerful cultivator who could compete with Tianjiao. They also didn't have the ability to participate in the unrestricted finals for those under 30 years old. Only those in the Inner Mansion Realm had a chance to show off.
When Zhu Weiwo was still around, he naturally had no other choice. After Zhu Weiwo left the country, there was room for competition for this spot.
Li Jianqiu had tried his best, but he still failed.
There was nothing to be depressed about.
Lin Zhengren had always been stronger and more famous. He was also more valued by the emperor and enjoyed more resources.
He had a good relationship with everyone. It could be said that he was the center of attention in the imperial court.
In the battle, Lin Zhengren's endless methods and trump cards that seemed to be endless made him accept his loss wholeheartedly.
He used the peach branch to shock Xin 'an City. However, Lin Zhengren threw out one move after another, densely and endlessly, and actually wore down his Dao Sword.
His skills were inferior, so he deserved to lose.
Victory and defeat were common, so he shouldn't worry about it.
Back in Maplewood City's Dao Academy, the other party was the leader of Wangjiang City's Dao Academy. He was once someone who was on par with Senior Brother Zhu.
Now that he lost, it seemed to be a matter of course.
But he was still unwilling to accept it.
But as for why he was unwilling … he couldn't say.
He walked through the stone path of the small courtyard, stepped up the steps, walked into the quiet room, and closed the door.
He sat cross-legged on the futon.
At this moment, he moved his clenched fist in front of him and opened his hand. A green jade pendant was in his palm.
This was Dong Shi's jade pendant.
It was also the jade pendant left on Dong Shi's corpse.
Minister Du Ruhui personally handed it to him.
On the night of Dong Shi's death, he deliberately sent him away. When he returned to Xin 'an City, he saw the dismembered corpse.
That night, the conversation on the streets of Xin 'an City, it was only in hindsight that he realized that it was Dong Shi's last words.
"Only you know how to sacrifice. Sacrifice is a sacred quality. It is the foundation of greatness. "
"If there comes a day when the entire Zhuang Country falls into darkness … You are the fire seed that I keep for this land. "
Until today, he still didn't really understand these words.
Now he was sitting here alone.
He had hated Dong A for the sake of the innocent souls of the deceased in Maplewood City, and also for the fact that Dong A had brought him along without hiding anything from him. Why did she not hide anything from him? Why did she have to make him suffer so much and suffer so much?
But what about other than hatred?
Now that he was sitting here alone, he was indeed reminded of that unsmiling man.
A long time ago, when he was still in the Chengdao Academy, he had wondered what Dong Shi would look like when he smiled. However, he didn't expect that he would have to wait until his death before he could see it.
What was he laughing about before he died?
Li Jianqiu silently stroked the cyan jade pendant in his hand.
It was said that the earliest owner of this jade pendant was Zhang Xinliang, Dong Shi's good friend when he was young.
Zhang Xinliang gave it to Dong Shi, and Dong Shi gave it to …
Who did he give it to?
Such a small item and its style was very ordinary. He really didn't pay much attention to it.
There were so many people in Maplewood City's Dao Academy. It was impossible for him to remember what everyone was wearing.
He knew what was in this cyan jade pendant. It recorded a secret technique called the Essence Control Technique.
It was a secret technique to improve one's ability to control Dao Essence.
He had already learned it when he was working with Dong Shi and remembered it by heart.
However, he had not learned it when he was in the Chengdao Academy.
Who could it be?
The person who learned the Essence Control Technique before him was probably the first person Dong Shi recognized, right?
After that person's accident, Dong Shi chose him …
That person must be very dazzling.
Was it the Bone Messenger, Zhang Linchuan, who had hidden in the Dao Academy and displayed excellent talent in thunder techniques? Was it the gentle and kind Wang Zhangxiang, who was born with a different bloodline from the Wind Sparrow?
Or …
For some reason, Li Jianqiu suddenly thought of a scene.
It was also night.
He was on night duty in front of the small pavilion in front of the inner courtyard.
A delicate and handsome youth rushed over. Although he was anxious, he was not flustered. He opened his mouth and said, "Senior Brother Li, a heretical demon is committing murder in the outer courtyard. A junior brother has already been killed! Please take charge of the situation! "
His body was injured, but his expression was normal. He had narrowly escaped death, but he could still speak clearly and be neither servile nor overbearing.
That might not be the first time he met that youth. Because they were both in the Chengdao Academy, there was always the possibility of them meeting. However, it was the first time he remembered that youth.
The first thing Dong Shi did after he came out was to expel the corpse poison for that youth.
At that time, he felt that Dong Shi treated this junior brother who had just entered the inner sect extraordinary. He was very extraordinary.
Dong Shi had a straightforward personality and was serious in his dealings. It was rare for him to be so gentle.
"Junior Brother must be very outstanding, right?" At that time, he thought so.
Later on, it was indeed so. Regardless of whether it was in the Three Cities Dao Discussion or in the trip to Three Mountain City, that junior brother had performed very well.
They could be considered friends.
He, who was once a defeated dog and a lone traveler, found the feeling of a companion in that junior brother.
Later on, he went to the County Dao Academy, and they dated at an even higher place.
At that time, they both had their own dreams. He wanted to solve the problem of the fierce beasts forever. What was that junior brother's dream again? To be a high-ranking official, to be successful and famous, to stabilize a region, to let his sister have endless delicious food and new clothes?
Later on …
Later on, Maplewood City was gone. He also knew that his dream could not be established in the end.
Could it be him?
Such a thought suddenly flashed through Li Jianqiu's mind.
He subconsciously clenched the green jade pendant and immersed his mind into it.
The information belonging to the Essence Control Technique slowly flowed into his mind.
He was so familiar with every word. Dong Shi had once described it to him word by word.
He felt them and chewed on the memories.
Suddenly, a drop of blood jumped out in his mind.
No, it was not just his mind.
From the green jade pendant, a drop of blood really jumped out.
A drop of bright red, plump blood.
It directly crashed into Li Jianqiu's palm and crashed into Li Jianqiu's body!
Pain!
Intense pain!
Li Jianqiu fell to the ground. He wanted to scream, but he couldn't make a sound.
This drop of blood seemed to have endless power. It directly penetrated the five prefectures' sea and crashed into the first inner mansion.
Li Jianqiu's first inner mansion was originally empty.
This drop of blood fell in …
Drip!
It was like the spring rain falling.
It sank into the ground of the inner mansion and disappeared without a trace.
No, it left a trace.
When the spring rain fell, everything happened.
Li Jianqiu's pain disappeared. He felt a great power being nurtured.
There was a kind of vigorous vitality, a kind of courage to face death and come back to life.
It was like the spring breeze blowing across the barren land, ushering in a new year.
A jade-colored seed "drilled" out of the ground of the inner mansion.
It was like being pregnant for ten months and giving birth in one morning.
It leaped high and hung on the dome of the inner mansion.
The jade-colored light illuminated the inner mansion!
Li Jianqiu was no longer in pain. The vigorous power continued to occur in his body, but he did not get up.
He lay on the ground in a daze …
It was only at this moment that he understood what this drop of blood meant.
That green jade pendant was left behind by Zhang Xinliang. It had once left Zhang Xinliang's Essence Control Technique to Dong A.
And Dong A had also left his mark in it.
This drop of blood was the essence blood of the inner mansion, the essence of the divine ability. It was a masterpiece that belonged to the Endless Divine Ability.
This drop of blood was born after Dong A's death.
