Chapter 611: Chapter 327: Meeting Old Friends, King Qing's Mansion of Great Zhou_2
"Miss Du, your power is indeed top-notch amongst the prodigies in Ling Domain. Don't belittle yourself."
Xu Yan took out a few bottles of elixirs that greatly enhance the practice of the divine soul.
At this moment, Yun Miaomiao had returned, accompanied by Yarong.
"You're really from the inner domain?"
Yarong looked at Xu Yan with disbelief.
Once Yun Miaomiao had asked her about the origin of Xie Lingfeng's Yu Ling, she had thought of Xu Yan and decided to come along. your chapter source NovelFire-l,e mp _yr
"Is there a problem?"
Xu Yan responded indifferently.
Yarong was silent for a moment before she sighed, "The inner domain has actually produced a freak like you."
Yun Miaomiao appeared apologetic. She hadn't expected Yarong to guess that Xu Yan was from the inner domain.
Xu Yan didn't mind. It was only a matter of time before his origin from the inner domain would be revealed. Moreover, the Gate of Lingyu has been sealed by his master so no one could enter anyways, and there's no need to worry about the destruction in the inner domain.
"The Yu Ling held by the father and son of the Xie Family is actually the Yuntian Yu Ling, which comes from the Azure Sea City of Yuntian."
Yarong didn't persist in questioning about Xu Yan's origin from the inner domain.
"Azure Sea City of Yuntian?"
Xu Yan expressed surprise. The Azure Sea City of Yuntian was one of the Transcendent Spirit Sect, different from the Thousand Martial Hall, the Lei Yun Mountain Manor, and the Yu Ling Mansion. It wasn't located among the eighteen states of Ling Domain, but in the Azure Sea.
It was located on the largest island of the Azure Sea and was also the first city of the sea, ruling over endless islands. In a sense, the Sea Spirit Tribe was also under the rule of Azure Sea City, earning it the title of Sacred Land of the Overseas.
"Correct, if you want to find them, I'm afraid you'll have to go to Azure Sea City of Yuntian."
Yarong nodded.
After finishing her sentence, she left to meet her master at the peak without disturbing others. Meanwhile, Xu Yan, realizing that Xie Lingfeng had gone to Azure Sea City of Yuntian, decided he should journey to Azure Sea next. Rumor had it that the sea harbored divine objects.
It would be a perfect opportunity for him to gather resources to build his foundation for the breakthrough to the Divine Skill Realm.
"These elixirs, I will gift them to the two ladies,"
Xu Yan divided the elixirs and presented them to the two women.
"Thank you, Young Master!"
Both Du Yuying and Yun Miaomiao were overjoyed.
"What about me, Young Master Xu?"
Cui'er asked, blinking her eyes.
"Here you go!"
Xu Yan handed a bottle of elixir to her.
"Thank you, Young Master!"
Cui'er was absolutely delighted.
"Are you two attempting to refine the Heavenly Earth Lingji?"
Xu Yan pondered for a moment before asking.
"Yes."
Du Yuying nodded, sighed softly, and said: "Refining the Heavenly Earth Lingji is somewhat difficult, I hope we could complete it before the final battle of the prodigy dispute."
"Although the Heavenly Earth Lingji is ubiquitous and detectible, refining it into the divine soul is a challenging feat."
Yun Miaomiao sighed as well.
"In fact, refining the Heavenly Earth Lingji isn't that difficult."
Xu Yan thought for a while, then said: "My master once guided others in this respect. If you two ladies do not mind, I can share his method with you."
Upon hearing Xu Yan's words, both Du Yuying and Yun Miaomiao were overjoyed. They hurriedly nodded and said: "We're certain that the method from such a predecessor would definitely be extraordinary. We would appreciate if you could guide us, Young Master Xu."
Both women knew that the martial arts practiced by Xu Yan was different from that of the Ling Domain.
Xu Yan didn't need to refine the Heavenly Earth Lingji at all. The method was casually invented by the old predecessor when guiding others.
The high realm of the predecessor was truly unimaginable.
Xu Yan then shared the method of refining the Heavenly Earth Lingji with the two women, followed by a long conversation about the past events concerning the Chang Qing Pavilion and ind the All Ages Alliance.
Afterward, Xu Yan bid them farewell and departed.
The two women watched him leave, reluctant to say goodbye. They probably wouldn't meet again until the final battle of the prodigy dispute.
Xu Yan descended the mountain. The trip had been quite fruitful and he had found out where Xie Lingfeng had gone.
"I should return to Chang Qing Pavilion before heading to Azure Sea City of Yuntian."
A thought came to Xu Yan's mind.
"Where is your master?"
A figure suddenly appeared.
Xin Mengrou!
Xu Yan raised an eyebrow, "My master is in Chang Qing Pavilion. If you want to see him, you can go and try. However, I can't guarantee if my master will see you or not."
Xin Mengrou didn't say anything, her figure moved and vanished from the spot.
...
The capital of the Great Zhou State, King Qing's Mansion.
The Qing King lineage is one of the nine royal linages of the Great Zhou dynasty, which has already fallen. However, the current generation of King Qing possesses remarkable aptitude and exceeds others in stratagem, showing signs of rejuvenating the lineage of King Qing's Mansion.
Xiang Qing has condensed the Heavenly Earth Lingji into his Divine Soul and even managed to refine three strands of Heavenly Earth Lingji, making him one of the strongest individuals in the Great Zhou State.
Although not the strongest, he could nevertheless support the continuous expansion of the King Qing's Mansion.
Some years ago, King Qing Xiang Qing brought back a young girl from outside and adopted her as his foster daughter, known as Commandery Princess Zi Yun.
There were rumors that Commandery Princess Zi Yun had arrived during the opening of the Gate of Lingyu, holding a jade order left by the predecessor King Qing. Despite her exceptional talent, rumors about her origination from a lower Inner Domain brought her occasional odd looks.
However, Commandery Princess Zi Yun was determined and is now in the later stages of the Refining God Heavenly Man realm. Her strength is also notable among those in the same realm.
Xiang Qing only has one son, who, rumor has it, has been sent to Yuntian Azure Sea City for intense cultivation. The younger generation of King Qing's Mansion currently relies entirely on Zi Yun.
As King Xiang's adopted daughter, no one in King Qing's Mansion dares to be disrespectful to her. However, most of the descendants of the other eight royal linages of the Great Zhou royal family ostracize her, and Zi Yun has always been unable to fit into the circle of the royal family's children.
Even the descendants of some Great Zhou ministers, who show respect to Zi Yun on the surface, often look down upon her behind her back.
Zi Yun didn't mind this, only focusing on improving her strength.
"Father."
Zi Yun ran into Xiang Qing's study.
"Zi Yun, have you been bullied by someone again?"
Xiang Qing's eyebrows furrowed slightly. He was somewhat discontented with the other eight royal lineages' descendants. Ostracizing Zi Yun was tantamount to ostracizing his lineage of King Qing.
Yet, although he had condensed the Heavenly Earth Lingji into his Divine Soul, his strength still couldn't compete with the strongest members of the other eight royal lineages, making it hard for him to stand firm.
"No, I don't care about them at all."
Zi Yun, clenching her dress' hem, replied, "Chang Qing Pavilion has come to our Great Zhou State. Rumor has it that they will be in the capital soon, and I want to go and purchase some elixirs for cultivation."
The elixirs from Chang Qing Pavilion are renowned throughout the Lingyu, but they are expensive, and it's not guaranteed that you can buy them even if you have the money. The pavilion master's mood dictates everything.
"Oh, in that case, let Steward Aqiu accompany you."
Xiang Qing nodded his approval.
Zi Yun is in the late stage of the Refining God Heavenly Man, only one step away from reaching the peak. With the help of elixirs, she should be able to make a breakthrough in a short time.
"It's hard to purchase elixirs from Chang Qing Pavilion. You may not be able to buy them on your trip there."
Xiang Qing thought for a moment and said.
"Don't worry, Father, I'm sure I can buy them."
Zi Yun confidently rebutted.
She could hardly wait to go to Chang Qing Pavilion. "I wonder if Meng Chong is there, I haven't seen him for so long, I miss him so much. Meng Chong is the best."
"If Meng Chong were there, I would beat those bastards to death."
Zi Yun thought angrily.
"Here are a few divine-grade spiritual medicines. You can use them to purchase elixirs."
Xiang Qing, indifferent towards Zi Yun's confidence, handed her a storage bag.
"Thanks, Father!"
Zi Yun took the storage bag and left in a hurry. She found Steward Aqiu in King Qing's Mansion, and together they left the capital of Great Zhou State, heading towards the current location of Chang Qing Pavilion.
In the capital of Great Zhou State, in a certain royal mansion.
"Princely Heir, that girl from King Qing's Mansion has left the capital."
"Oh, she left the capital? Good, let those people take action. King Qing brought degradation upon himself, we cannot let our Great Zhou royal bloodline be tainted because of him.
"A girl from a lower region doesn't deserve to be a commandery princess of Great Zhou."
"What if King Qing finds out..."
"Clean up afterwards. The Lingyu is unstable right now, the All Ages Alliance wants to overturn the Spirit Sect's rule. They are audacious. Assassinating a Zhou commandery princess wouldn't be surprising."
"Understood. However, if we make a move and Steward Aqiu is there from King Qing's Mansion, won't we..."
"As long as we don't reveal that the assassination is from our Great Zhou royal family, we're fine. If possible, kill her and leave no trace!"
"Yes, I understand!"
"Prepare to go to Chang Qing Pavilion and pay a visit to the fairy herb-doctor."
"Yes, Princely Heir."
The news of Chang Qing Pavilion's arrival in Great Zhou has long been spread throughout the whole state. Many of the powerful, especially those with old injuries, are preparing to go to Chang Qing Pavilion.
Not a few from the Great Zhou royal family are preparing to go to Chang Qing Pavilion.
A few thousand li away from the capital of Great Zhou, a burly man was striding along, his bald head reflecting dazzling light under the sun.
"This Great Zhou is indeed prosperous. I wonder how that woman Zi Yun's doing."
Meng Chong touched his bald head and muttered to himself.
