Chapter 394: Purple Moon Tiangong
The matter of the Eight Sect Alliance was successfully resolved.
In the courtyard of the station, the branch sect reopened a welcome banquet for Xu Qing and the others.
During this time, the Captain was extremely proud, pushing cups and changing lamps with people, and became quite familiar with those Sword Holders.
Most of these people had also heard that among the Sword Holders of Yinghuang Province this time, someone had brilliance of one zhang.
From the Captain's performance today, they all guessed who it was, but it was all human relations. Since there were spirit stones to take and Chen Tinghao's enthusiastic introduction, they naturally would not take the initiative to expose it, and they got along quite harmoniously.
Immortal Zixuan did not participate in the banquet, but had people send some pills to Xu Qing.
These pills were all her personal belongings, and they were extraordinarily precious.
Holding the pills, although Xu Qing did not say anything on the surface, he still had some ripples in his heart.
But he was not good at words and did not know what to say, so he could only thank her via sound transmission.
"Little friend, why have you become so polite."
In the sound transmission jade slip, Immortal Zixuan's voice carried some temptation, falling into his heart like scratching an itch.
"I am in Room Jia-1. If you have any questions about cultivation, you can secretly come to find me."
The last sentence in the jade slip made Xu Qing's heart jump, and he silently put away the jade slip to calm his emotions.
Although his injuries were serious, they recovered quickly, after all, they were all things he let the shadow do, and he had his own sense of proportion.
And compared to the many life-and-death crises of the past, the current injuries could only be considered minor.
So he naturally participated in the banquet. Watching the Captain pushing cups and changing lamps there, Xu Qing asked Chen Tinghao beside him about Yao Yunhui.
"Human titles used to be hereditary, but after the current Emperor ascended the throne, the hereditary system was abolished, so the current head of the Dao Mansion does not have the title of Heavenly Marquis."
"But after all, his ancestors had merits to the human race, so whether it is the County Governor or the Palace Master, they will call the head of the Yao family Marquis. This Marquis has three children, two men and one woman, and Yao Yunhui is the Marquis's youngest daughter."
"This Yao Yunhui was also a prominent figure in the Capital. Back then, she married into your Yinghuang Province's Taisi Immortal Gate, which caused a lot of discussion. In the Dao Mansion, the status gap between the two sides was too large. Later, it was heard that her Dao companion passed away early, leaving a son at the Taisi Immortal Gate, while she herself returned to the Yao Fu early."
"This person has a wide network in the Capital, her own background is not bad, and she herself is stunningly beautiful. It is said that she also has some relationship with Deacon Prince Sima, who is from the Taisi Immortal Gate and works in the Sword Holding Palace, and she herself is the Chief of the Third Division of the Law Enforcement Palace."
Chen Tinghao spoke earnestly and introduced her to Xu Qing.
"However, our Sword Holding Palace is not afraid of the Law Enforcement Palace, and Deacon Prince Sima is not the kind of person who likes to engage in favoritism. You don't need to worry. Besides... actually, everyone doesn't like the Yao Fu."
Chen Tinghao was just about to pick up his wine cup when he was swept a glance by his Dao companion. He was a bit embarrassed, wanting to drink but not daring to, so he coughed and continued to speak to Xu Qing.
"Our Sword Holding Palace and the Yao Fu have different philosophies."
"Regarding the two major foreign races in the county and the Saint Lan race, our Sword Holding Palace advocates deterrence and is not afraid of a battle. The Palace Master has repeatedly proposed to clear up Fenghai County and suppress the Saint Demon race and the Near-Immortal race."
"And the Yao family strongly opposes it. They believe that killing cannot solve the problem and advocate deep integration with foreign races. So in the entire Capital, it is the Yao family that interacts most frequently with the Saint Demon and Near-Immortal races, and there is even intermarriage. They have also visited the Saint Lan race many times, and every time they were like servants."
Chen Tinghao's expression revealed disdain.
"I really don't know if their Heavenly Marquis knows about this, whether he would crawl out of the coffin and slap these spineless descendants to death."
Speaking of this, Chen Tinghao could not help but pick up the wine pot and drink a large mouthful.
His Dao companion saw this and shook her head helplessly, but the tenderness in her eyes was clearly visible.
The banquet did not last long and ended when the bright moon hung high. After Xu Qing and the Captain sent them out of the branch sect, they walked in the courtyard.
The moonlight was bright, spilling under the feet of the two, and there was a breeze blowing, lifting the hair of Xu Qing and the Captain, and also dispersing the wine smell on them to all directions.
"Little Ah Qing, we have finally arrived at the Capital!" The Captain was obviously full of joy, spoke with a smile, and even took out an apple and took a big bite.
Xu Qing raised his head to look at the firmament, looked at the statue of the Ancient Emperor Xuanyou, and nodded.
"Still remember what I told you back then? In this life, we walk together!"
"The Capital is not our end point, it is just our starting point."
"Next, we need to stand firm in the Sword Holding Palace, and then Little Junior Brother, wait for me to get familiar with this place, and I will take you to do big things!"
"We want to stir up the wind and clouds in Fenghai County, and make the Saint Lan Great Domain change its name to Bo Lan County because of our arrival!" The Captain was rarely ambitious, ate the apple in one bite, and took out an orange.
Xu Qing instinctively raised his vigilance and looked at the Captain who was different from usual.
"We also want everyone to know that together, our brilliance exceeds ten thousand zhang!"
"We must also make everyone understand that we are good brothers, good brothers who can go through fire and water for each other!" The Captain said, secretly sizing up Xu Qing.
Xu Qing remained calm and nodded.
"So, the report in half a month is particularly important. This concerns the choice of position. Different departments have different military merits, and their responsibilities are also different. Whether we can make the Saint Lan change and the human race rise in the future depends on our starting point."
The Captain continued to speak, saying it very exaggeratedly, as if this appointment would determine the fate of the human race.
"And then?" Xu Qing asked calmly. He had heard Chen Tinghao say that the report date for the new Sword Holders was in half a month.
"Then it needs operation, Little Junior Brother. This costs money, and we will do big things in the future, buy intelligence, and spend money. So... the compensation the old witch gives us later, cough, how about we split it in half."
"Just this?" Xu Qing was surprised. He thought it was a big deal.
"No problem."
Seeing Xu Qing agree so readily and looking like it was a small matter, the Captain became vigilant.
He felt that Xu Qing seemed to have a higher pattern than himself, which made him alert, secretly telling himself to pay attention and also open up his pattern.
So he waved his hand.
"Little Junior Brother, the 8 million spirit stones you owe me, I'll give you a 10% discount!"
Xu Qing ignored him and walked toward his residence.
The Captain laughed happily, said goodbye to Xu Qing, and returned to his residence. The place he lived in was specially chosen by him, with rockeries and trees covering it, and sunlight could not shine directly.
The Captain felt that a place where the sun could not be looked at directly was more in line with his identity as a Sword Holder.
Xu Qing did not care about these. After returning, he instinctively arranged the surroundings, then walked in, sat cross-legged, and recalled the events of the past few days since arriving at the Capital.
Then he took out the bamboo slip and carved Yao Yunhui's name on it, listing it with Zhang Siyun.
The matter of Yao Yunhui was just a small episode after arriving at the Capital.
After carving it, Xu Qing pondered finding an opportunity to quietly kill the mother and son.
"There is also Red Woman, and that Ning Yan." Xu Qing glanced at the bamboo slip and frowned.
"There are quite a few names on it that haven't been crossed out."
Looking at so many names that had not been crossed out, Xu Qing was a bit uneasy, so he raised his head to look at the dark night outside and pondered for a while.
"Must improve cultivation as soon as possible, and eliminate them one by one as soon as possible."
Xu Qing closed his eyes and began to cultivate.
Time passed. Four days later, the Law Enforcement Palace sent the spirit stones, pills, three magic treasure fragments, and formation tools, marking the end of this matter.
Xu Qing did not take it all for himself. Whether it was the Captain or the disciples who went to the Law Enforcement Palace to pick him up that day, they all had a share.
Finally, he even sent some to the Fifth Peak Master and Immortal Immortal Zixuan.
The rest were put away by him.
However, Xu Qing did not distribute the Tiangong Pills inside, but kept them for himself.
This pill had extraordinary power. After taking three, the fourth Tiangong in his body finally took shape.
With the rumbling sound echoing in his body, Xu Qing looked at the fourth Tiangong shining with brilliance in his sea of consciousness, anticipation rising in his heart, and at the same time, there was pondering.
"Is it the natal Cang Dragon, or... the purple moon." Xu Qing did not ponder for too long, and a decisive look appeared in his eyes.
"Natal Cang Dragon, let it give way again."
Thinking of this, Xu Qing immediately pulled the purple moon in his sea of consciousness with all his strength, letting it slowly merge into the fourth Tiangong, and finally sit in the depths of the Tiangong.
In the next moment, a sense of extremely close connection emerged in his heart.
Before this, he had control over the purple moon, but the other party was too vast, and it was difficult for him to urge it, like a child pushing a carriage.
But now, with the connection of the fourth Tiangong, this kind of control became easier than before.
Xu Qing did not try immediately, but closed his eyes to nurture it. Until ten days later, his fourth Tiangong was completely stable, and only then did he open his eyes.
The moment his eyes opened and closed, strong purple light bloomed from his eyes, making everything around him sink into the purple sea.
The fourth Tiangong also shone with brilliant purple light at this moment.
Looking at the purple moon inside constantly flashing, Xu Qing had a feeling that if he exerted his full strength, his whole body would instantly be filled with that kind of divine aura belonging to himself.
That is, foreign matter!
This kind of foreign matter can form an invasion and influence on all cultivators.
If added to the blessing of the poison prohibition pill, the power of this foreign matter with him as the source would be greater, and the concentration would be the same, and the speed of invading all things would become amazing.
"What I am cultivating now, is it Dao, or God..." Xu Qing looked at his third and fourth Heavenly Palaces, and then looked at the natal Cang Dragon that was constantly giving way, muttering to himself.
"Now, combined with the Emperor-level cultivation technique, I already possess the combat power of five palaces."
"After merging with the shadow, I can exert the pure physical power of six palaces!"
"If added to the poison prohibition and the purple moon, I can also fight seven palaces, and I should be sure to win!" A sharp glint appeared in Xu Qing's eyes. His current combat power was already at the peak among ordinary Tiangong Golden Cores.
"No matter what I am cultivating, improving combat power is the key!"
Xu Qing muttered, calculated the time, and there was only one night left until the Sword Holder report date.
Tomorrow morning was the day of reporting.
"I wonder where I will be appointed after reporting?"
Xu Qing thought of Zhaoxia Mountain, thought of Chen Tinghao telling him that going to Zhaoxia Mountain required a lot of military merits.
"Military merits!" A sharp glint appeared in Xu Qing's eyes. After a long while, he closed his eyes to cover the sharpness and waited silently for time to pass.
One night passed.
The next day, the moment the first sun rose, Xu Qing stood up, calmly changed into the white Dao robe of a Sword Holder, and put on his cloak.
Standing in front of the door, he took a deep breath and raised his hand to push open the door of the house.
The sunlight outside poured in, passing through Xu Qing's surroundings, as if blending his figure into the light, especially those passing through his hair, becoming colorful.
Looking from afar, standing in the light, a ball of fire seemed to rise on his body.
The disciples passing by all looked sideways.
Immortal Immortal Zixuan stood on the second floor of her residence, looking at Xu Qing, and could not help but reveal an unusual brilliance in her eyes.
In another part of the branch courtyard, not far from Xu Qing, in a residence where rockeries and trees covered it and sunlight could not shine directly, the Captain pushed open the door.
He stretched, just about to walk out, saw Xu Qing in the light, and was stunned for a moment.
"Can it still be like this?"
The Captain looked back at his house, then looked at Xu Qing, and suddenly felt that his house was not worthy of his identity as a Sword Holder. ===== CHAPTER 395 =====
