Chapter 214: Bathing in spiritual beauty, practicing qi with fire luck, imperial daughter and noble daughter
"Zhao Xing, what treasure is this below?" Long Xiao said, "Why do I feel blood surging, mouth dry and tongue dry."
"I also can't wait to jump down." Xia Jing took a deep breath, "Why does it have such a big attraction to me?"
Ji Ziyun and Chen Shijie didn't speak, but their expressions betrayed their hearts. It was obvious that they also had the same feeling.
However, the four of them have very high military quality.
When traveling together, they were completely organized according to the execution of military duties.
Zhao Xing is the team leader. He didn't give an order, so the four of them endured and didn't act.
"Heaven and earth concentrate spiritual beauty, fire luck is born in the water, truly a strange scene." Zhao Xing couldn't help but praise, "According to the "Five-Element Feng Shui Luck", this is fire luck spiritual beauty."
"Qi luck spiritual beauty, also divided into five elements?" Long Xiao scratched his head.
"I also know a little about Feng Shui and Qi luck." Ji Ziyun said, "Pre-heavenly Qi luck is divided into five elements, and the twelve stems and branches divide the luck year."
"Those with prosperous fire luck, every Wu year and Gui year will have great luck."
Zhao Xing nodded and said: "Brother Ji is worthy of being a prince, knowledgeable and talented."
Xia Jing pulled his nose: "What do you mean, I am a prince is a decoration?"
"Hahaha." Ji Ziyun and Zhao Xing laughed together.
"However, I don't know what book "Five-Element Feng Shui Luck" is."
"A miscellaneous book." Zhao Xing said casually.
Actually, this is a volume in the "Great Expansion Scripture".
When the luck level reaches Yan Four, the practitioner's perception of luck gradually strengthens.
?¢O
If you practice the "Great Expansion Scripture" or similar secret classics, you don't have to reach the second-grade 'Heavenly Luck Realm' to perceive the rise and fall of luck to a certain extent.
At the same time, the division of luck is more detailed for where luck should be.
The Great Expansion Scripture mentions, 'Qi red with green, purple light dotted (Yan Four level), can seek the increase of heaven and earth five-element luck, or seek heaven and earth spiritual beauty, or famous mountains and rivers, or bury ancestors in Feng Shui treasure land.'
It means that reaching the Yan Four level, one can actively look for ways to increase luck according to the five-element luck, so that promotion is easier.
Zhao Xing once had the urge to refine the 'Qi Luck Golden Dragon' when he was promoted, and to implement it specifically, he needed an extremely profound 'Qi Refining Technique'.
Like the swallowing of luck in the Donghu Spiritual Mountain of Gucheng, that kind of swallowing is only suitable for low-level luck, and it is not only wasteful but also not applicable to the improvement of high-level luck.
"You guys talk too complicated, I don't understand very well." Long Xiao scratched his head, "Zhao Xing, you tell me directly, how can I get the benefits here?"
"Simple." Zhao Xing smiled, "Go down and take a bath."
"Ah?" Long Xiao, Chen Shijie, and Xia Jing were all stunned, "Bathing in spiritual beauty?"
"Yes, it is bathing in spiritual beauty hot springs." Zhao Xing looked at the valley below. "There are many hot springs in the valley. We go down and choose a hot spring to take a bath, and the five-element fire luck will naturally increase."
Long Xiao, Chen Shijie, and Xia Jing don't know how to refine luck, and Zhao Xing doesn't know if Ji Ziyun knows.
He himself knows a little bit. The Great Expansion Scripture has a chapter called Five-Element Luck Transformation Technique.
Zhao Xing can only go down and try it. Fate-type secret classics are too profound. He practiced the Great Expansion Qi-Gazing Technique to the middle-grade perfection level and opened the Heavenly Eye, and he is not sure of success.
Let alone passing it to Old Chen and the others to practice.
"Brother Ji, you must be careful when you go down to the spring." Ji Ziyun reminded, "Five-element fire luck will have some influence on people. Bathing is bathing, and you must not practice in it, so as not to go into magic."
Zhao Xing patted his head, almost forgetting to remind: "Brother Ji is right, I almost forgot to remind... Brother Ji is right, you guys must not mess around if you see any illusions."
"Unless I and Brother Ji come to pull you."
"Understood, I won't move around." Long Xiao rubbed his hands.
"Go down."
At Zhao Xing's order, the Qilin Flying Boat they were riding landed in the valley.
After getting off the flying boat, Long Xiao stopped talking.
Zhao Xing asked: "What's the matter?"
"Should I take it down to wash it too?"
Long Xiao pointed to Aotian Meow.
Zhao Xing smiled: "You really treat the mountain cat as your son, and you want to share this good thing with it?"
"Okay, of course, you just take care of it and don't run around, there are plenty of hot springs here."
This spiritual beauty hot spring is one of the relatively large opportunities in the Daofeng Mountain Range.
Literal meaning.
That is, it's fine for dozens of people to take a bath, because in a short time, one person can't absorb so much fire luck.
"Okay, I promise to watch it." Long Xiao happily hugged Aotian Meow and left.
"You might as well give the mountain cat to Long Xiao." Xia Jing looked at Long Xiao's back and said, "I found that he really loves this cat."
"It's not impossible."
For Zhao Xing, pets are just pets, which can be raised for boredom and relief, and will not be raised as a son like Long Xiao.
Long Xiao's heart is relatively simple, and he is also suitable for raising pets. Giving the mountain cat to Long Xiao is also a good destination.
One day when I go back to Gucheng, I will go to Donghu Mountain again, find the mountain god to lift the master-servant contract, and then give it to Long Xiao.
This is just a small matter, Zhao Xing didn't take it to heart, flew around in the valley, and picked a small hot spring to test the water first.
"Old Chen, you come or I come?"
"You come, your Five-Element Mist Hiding is suitable."
"Okay."
Zhao Xing reached out and pointed to the sky, and the Five-Element Mist Hiding was activated.
This valley was hidden from the map by the Mist Hiding Technique.
If someone passes by, unless they can see through the high-grade Five-Element Mist Hiding, they won't find this treasure land at all.
"Done, take a bath."
Zhao Xing took off his clothes and jumped in.
"Plop~"
Clearly jumping into the hot spring, but splashed a burst of sparks.
The sparks were warm, had the texture of water, but were burning.
"It's just warm, but I feel irritable, and even produce lust."
"This is the side effect of absorbing fire luck." Zhao Xing evaluated.
However, the jade pendant in his arms emitted a cool meaning, driving away all discomfort.
"Dragon Soul Jade Pendant." Zhao Xing took out the Dragon Soul Jade Pendant.
The sixth-grade Dragon Soul Jade Pendant is specially supplied by the royal family. Carrying it with you for a long time can continuously strengthen the life soul, and can also ward off evil and avoid delusions, and the chance of going into magic is greatly reduced.
The soul armor is also sixth-grade, but the soul armor is purely defensive, the Dragon Soul Jade Pendant is auxiliary, and the soul armor is defensive.
Master Zhao didn't even have illusions. Without these side effects, he was really soaking in a hot spring.
Lying in the hot spring, Zhao Xing entered a dream.
Recalling the Five-Element Wind and Cloud Luck in the "Great Expansion Scripture", and a "Fire Luck Qi Refining Technique" attached to it, he tried to actively absorb fire luck spiritual beauty.
"Heavenly luck is my luck, heavenly fate is my fate..." Zhao Xing seemed to be asleep, making babbling sounds.
Soon he entered the dream to practice.
"Gurgle~"
A quarter of an hour later, the 'flames' in the hot spring began to become orderly from the disordered flow, flowing towards the corner where Zhao Xing was waiting.
After touching Zhao Xing's body.
"Puff~"
The flames passed through the body, as if there was no substance.
But if you observe carefully, you can perceive that the brightness of this flame is weaker.
Practicing in the dream for a quarter of an hour, trying the "Fire Luck Qi Refining Technique", it has achieved initial results!
Half an hour later, the flow rate of the flames in the water suddenly accelerated.
Rushing towards Zhao Xing quickly.
Almost visible to the naked eye, it weakened.
An hour later, this small hot spring with a diameter of five meters became clear, the flames in the water disappeared, and the water gradually cooled down.
The change in water temperature woke Zhao Xing from the dream.
Looking inward at the five elements, judging the time, Zhao Xing found that he had slept for an hour, and also found the change in the hot spring.
⊙Co
"Not bad, not bad, the effect is really good." Zhao Xing climbed out of the cool pool, "I heard that the Lihuo Dao Academy has a "Nine Purple Lihuo Luck". If I can get it, it will be stronger than the 'Fire Luck Qi Refining Technique' in the Great Expansion Scripture. I will go there in the future."
The predecessor of the Lihuo Dao Academy, the Lihuo Sect, was also one of the top ten ancient divine sects, and it was on the same level as the Dream God Sect (Dream Nightmare Sect).
The "Fire Luck Qi Refining Technique" given in the Great Expansion Scripture is just a medium-grade product. It mentions the "Nine Purple Lihuo Luck" of the Lihuo Sect, which is the top-level luck technique.
"Nine Purple Lihuo Luck, just by absorbing fire luck, can make the luck pillar turn purple, and can also help cultivation. If you encounter Wu and Gui years, you will definitely have great luck."
"The Great Expansion Scripture once said that the Lihuo Sect would choose 'Wu years' and Gui years to go on an expedition or withdraw troops every time there was a war."
"Disciples under the sect also pick the time to fight. The Great Expansion Scripture once said, don't fight with people of the Lihuo Sect in Wu months, Wu days, Wu years, Gui months, Gui days, and Gui years."
This is not a rumor, but a real thing. The warlocks who came out of the Lihuo Dao Academy all had a 'time BUFF' on them.
Zhao Xing once encountered a man with a 'Wu Xu time BUFF' in his previous life.
In the Xu hour, this person's combat power increased by 30-100%!
This is the same as the 'gambling dog strategy'.
Those who practiced "Nine Purple Lihuo Luck" and got its true biography, not only increased their combat power, but also had magical phenomena in certain hours.
If the enemy's strength is equal, the other party's meridians will be disordered when fighting, and those with low realm will simply go into magic and explode and die, which is very exaggerated.
If the enemy's realm is high, when being chased, there will always be inexplicable things happening, helping the disciples of the Lihuo Sect to escape, and they can't be killed no matter what.
"However, Nine Purple Lihuo Luck also has flaws. If you encounter people from the Bishui Dao Academy, such as Princess Youruo, practicing "Six Tribulations Bishui Luck", they are mutually restrained."
"In the years of Bing and Xin, water luck governs it. Bing years and Xin years are good years for Bishui Sect disciples."
Because of the existence of the 'Great Vow of Establishing the Dao' mechanism, all kinds of gods have come to grab 'time' to show their existence.
But there are only twelve hours, how can they accommodate so many gods?
Therefore, in ancient times, many sects fought into dog brains.
Now it is naturally different, but if Princess Youruo encounters people from the Lihuo Dao Academy, she will also have a feeling of disgust.
"Murong Qing, this woman is disgusting! She is already married, and she still comes to provoke you! Liu Lang, I will kill her for you!"
Inside the Ten Thousand Techniques Palace, Princess Youruo got up from the bed with murderous intent, because she just learned that Murong Qing from Yuanhe County, Daoyuan Continent, had just been to the Ten Thousand Techniques Palace.
"Stop!" Liu Tianning blocked her, "She just came to visit on the way, how did she provoke you?"
"You roar at me?" Princess Youruo bit her lip, "You actually roared at me for this bitch? Do you still have her in your heart?"
"What are you talking about? She is already married. I have known her since I was a child. Is it..."
Before he finished speaking, this clone was split into two by Princess Youruo.
Liu Tianning had another clone appear in front of her.
"Get out!"
Princess Youruo split this clone again.
"Bang bang bang bang bang bang!"
I don't know how many clones were split, but Princess Youruo didn't even walk out of the mysterious gate. There was no way, Liu Tianning had too many clones! [
She hadn't even gone out yet, and she was already panting with exhaustion.
Liu Tianning said nothing, letting her hack away.
Not until Princess Youruo had vented her anger did his true form appear: "Are you satisfied?"
"Hmph." Princess Youruo turned and sat back down on the bed.
"I told you, she only came to request a spot as an investigation envoy."
"If there is business to attend to, then attend to it; why come to the Ten Thousand Laws Palace?" Princess Youruo said. "Didn't you take on a disciple? Just have him run the errands for such trivial matters. If you don't even know how to discipline your disciple, then I will teach him for you!"
Liu Tianning's brows knitted together, his expression turning cold: "When I do things, why do I need you to teach me? Youruo, I warn you, do not even think about targeting my disciple."
Seeing Liu Tianning like this, Princess Youruo knew her lover was angry.
"Master Liu, I was wrong..." Princess Youruo's expression quickly softened.
Liu Tianning remained unmoved, his face still cold.
Princess Youruo came over with a giggle to take Liu Tianning's hand, pressing herself against him, "I said the wrong thing; I won't do it again in the future, don't be angry..."
Liu Tianning shook off her hand: "Remember my words."
"Yes, this servant remembers." Princess Youruo's eyes were seductive as she pressed against him again, wanting to kiss Liu Tianning.
Unexpectedly, Liu Tianning simply flicked his sleeves and left.
Princess Youruo lunged at empty air, but she wasn't angry; she just watched Liu Tianning's back with a dazed look in her eyes. The more Liu Tianning was like this, the more she liked him.
After a moment of hesitation, she chased after him, following closely behind Liu Tianning.
"Master Liu, I also want a spot as an investigation envoy."
When it came to serious business, Liu Tianning stopped being cold: "Who do you want it for?"
Youruo said: "My niece, 'Ji Zixuan'; she has also arrived at the Ten Yang Cave Heaven."
Liu Tianning: "Didn't Prince Tianyan give you three spots?"
Youruo said with a giggle: "I don't want those, I want yours. If Murong Qing can have one, why can't I?"
"..."
Unable to withstand Princess Youruo's pestering, Liu Tianning said: "Fine, let her be added."
Zhao Xing was soaking in the hot spring when the Earth Mirror placed to the side suddenly vibrated.
He ignored it the first time, but it rang again a moment later.
Zhao Xing picked up the Earth Mirror and took a look; there were two new messages on it:
[Murong Xue has joined the investigation team! Approver: Liu Tianning]
[Ji Zixuan has joined the investigation team! Approver: Liu Tianning]
He glanced at it and tossed it aside.
Old Liu had let a few people in these past few days, but that didn't require much of his attention.
Unexpectedly, just as he put it down, the Earth Mirror vibrated again.
This time, it was Liu Tianning contacting him.
Zhao Xing didn't think much of it and connected directly.
"Hum~"
Above the hot spring, a projection appeared.
Liu Tianning and Princess Youruo were in a garden pavilion inside the Ten Thousand Laws Palace.
"Master, this... I didn't know the Princess was there, this disciple is being rude."
Zhao Xing hadn't expected Old Liu to be with his lover while video-calling him, and he was still shirtless.
Princess Youruo, however, laughed: "It's fine, there's nothing to see anyway."
Liu Tianning glared at her, and she shrank her head back.
"Put on your clothes first, I have something to tell you."
Liu Tianning hung up the communication.
Zhao Xing quickly got out of the water, got dressed, and then dialed Liu Tianning's projection.
"Master, what is the urgent matter?"
Liu Tianning said: "Did you see the two people who just joined the investigation team?"
"I saw them."
"They are not familiar with the Ten Yang Cave Heaven, so you take them around."
What?
Master Zhao was very reluctant in his heart, but he had to agree; Liu Tianning rarely ordered him to do things, so these two must be quite important to him.
Perhaps they were some younger relatives or descendants.
"Yes, I have a grass puppet in Yangcheng; if Master tells me the address, I can go pick them up."
"No need," Liu Tianning said, "I will have them go to the Sophora and Willow Courtyard to find you."
"Yes."
Princess Youruo asked curiously: "Zhao Xing, were you soaking in a hot spring just now? In the water fire flow, did you find a treasure land?"
Zhao Xing said: "Replying to the Princess, this subject was lucky enough to find a place; observing that it was extraordinary, I came to try it out."
"Better to come early than to come at the right time," Youruo smiled. "Does your treasure land have any extra space? Let my niece share in your good fortune."
Zhao Xing said awkwardly: "There is space, but men and women are different; I'm afraid it might be inconvenient..."
Princess Youruo giggled: "I can't tell, you're quite conservative, completely different from your master... Have you never participated in the Spring Festival?"
Zhao Xing was left speechless.
The Great Zhou was open-minded, especially regarding men and women.
How open?
One example is enough to know.
The 'Spring Festival' Princess Youruo mentioned was a holiday held during the Spring Equinox, the grandest festival of the year.
Besides worshipping heaven and earth and the local deities (the land, and in some places, mountains, water, and other conceptual spirits).
It also had an official function: providing a place for men and women to rendezvous.
During the time of the Founding Emperor, it was even written into the "Zhou Code": "During the Spring Festival, county-level government offices must check for those in the county who have passed the age of hair-pinning or capping but are unmarried, and organize participation in the Spring Festival; the government must provide the venue, food, and entertainment facilities."
This rule was abolished in the late reign of Emperor Wen.
Why?
Because it was too unrestrained.
During the days of the Spring Festival, men and women would go on spring outings, and if they took a fancy to each other, they would mate right there in the wild!
During the reign of Emperor Wen, the population grew explosively, so the law was abolished, mandatory requirements were no longer made, and concepts of etiquette were gradually strengthened.
But many places still retained these traditions, especially the Southern Barbarian tribes who admired the Great Zhou; they even copied the law word for word, only changing the festival name to the 'Divine Union Festival'.
Princess Youruo's words were equivalent to asking Zhao Xing: Yo, you kid are so conservative, you wouldn't still be a virgin, would you?
This made Master Zhao quite embarrassed.
Liu Tianning glared at her: "Why are you saying this!"
Princess Youruo covered her mouth and giggled.
Liu Tianning said sternly: "Zhao Xing, arrange it yourself. If it's inconvenient, you don't necessarily have to let them come to this place; you can wait a few days."
"Yes. This disciple understands." Zhao Xing nodded.
Princess Youruo spoke again: "Zhao Xing, you must take good care of my niece, don't let her suffer any grievances; as for the other one, just brush her off however you like."
"..."
Hanging up the communication, Zhao Xing closed his eyes with some helplessness and began to activate the grass puppet in the Sophora and Willow Courtyard, waiting for the arrival of the two well-connected individuals.
His true self found Xia Jing, Chen Shijie, Long Xiao, and Ji Zijun.
"There is bad news!"
Splash~
Long Xiao jumped straight out of the hot spring: "What is it? What is it?"
He was stark naked, and Zhao Xing took one look—it was truly an eyesore; he was worthy of being a martial artist.
"Put on your clothes, and then come to the flying boat for a meeting."
Once everyone arrived.
Zhao Xing said: "Master arranged for two well-connected people to come over, and both are women."
Long Xiao frowned: "The Ten Yang Cave Heaven is so big, why do these two have to follow you?"
Chen Shijie glared: "You are also a well-connected person, what right do you have to speak."
"What's their background?" Xia Jing asked.
"One is an Imperial Princess named Ji Zixuan. I don't know if you recognize her, Brother Ji."
"The other is named Murong Xue, she is Master's... um, daughter of an old friend."
Xia Jing said: "Since it was arranged by your master, then you cannot refuse. Ji Zixuan... I have no impression of her, cousin, how about you?"
Ji Zijun also shook his head: "There are eight million members of the Great Zhou royal clan, if not ten million; how could I know everyone? I only know a few with status."
The 'status' Ji Zijun referred to were the four levels of Imperial Princesses: Lady, Commandery Princess, Royal Princess, and Princess.
There was no distinction of superiority or inferiority between Commandery Princess and Royal Princess; it only distinguished the royal bloodline.
Princess was the most noble bloodline.
"In short, this is bad news," Zhao Xing said listlessly. "Two heirs, the matter of dealing with them will be left to you two."
"Easy," Xia Jing smiled. "Cousin is best at dealing with women. It won't be difficult for him."
Ji Zijun glared: "Why are you slandering my innocence? Making it sound like I'm a playboy."
"Alright, I will try to delay as much as possible," Zhao Xing said. "You all hurry to the hot spring to absorb, reach your limit as soon as possible. Afterward, I can arrange for them to stay here, leave a clone to watch over them, and then the five of us can go elsewhere."
"One Imperial Princess and one noble, how come in your mouth, it sounds like you're dismissing beggars," Xia Jing laughed.
"If it were cousin, he'd probably be soaking in the bath with the Imperial Princess and the noble lady."
"Kirin Child, get lost!" Ji Zijun cursed.
"Hahahaha."
While they were chatting on the flying boat, two beautiful figures also appeared outside the gate of the Eighteen Sophora and Willow Courtyard.
Murong Xue and Ji Zixuan appeared outside the courtyard gate at the same time.
"Excuse me, is Senior Brother Zhao here?" one of the young girls wearing a blue dress spoke, her voice crisp, carrying into the courtyard.
Zhao Xing flew to the courtyard gate. Ji Zixuan took a look and then bowed generously: "Ji Zixuan of the Blue Water Dao Academy, greets Senior Brother Zhao; sorry to trouble you to lead the way, Senior Brother."
A woman next to her, wearing a white dress and a veil, had a cold voice: "Murong Xue of Taihe Commandery, greets Lord Zhao."
Zhao Xing returned the bow and then invited them into the courtyard: "Please come in, young ladies."
The Spring Festival actually existed in ancient Zhou Dynasty, so I'm applying it here.
It is rumored that Kong Qiu was conceived by his parents on the day of the Spring Festival, on a hill in the wild.
