Chapter 94

Princess Longji smiled sweetly and said: "Few people come to my Phoenix Mountain. Since Your Highness has come, I must naturally fulfill the duties of a host. Your Highness, please this way."

"Fairy, please!"

Yin Qi nodded and followed Princess Longji into the main hall.

After they were seated, Princess Longji ordered the Biyun Child to bring snacks and tea, and at the same time ordered Luan Nv: "Go to the peach orchard and pick some hundred-year-old peaches."

The Biyun Child and Luan Nv both agreed and turned to leave.

Yin Qi looked for a topic and asked curiously: "Fairy, I see that your Green Phoenix Fighting Palace is not small, why are there only a few of you? If there were more people, it would be livelier here."

Princess Longji smiled faintly: "We cultivators seek the Great Dao, so it is better to be pure-hearted and have few desires. It is better for this Green Phoenix Fighting Palace to be quiet, as it is more conducive to cultivation, without having to worry about the trivial matters of the mortal world."

Yin Qi shook his head and said: "Fairy, I find it hard to agree with that. Who says the Great Dao must be pure-hearted and have few desires? The Great Dao is three thousand, and all things in the world are manifestations of the Great Dao. Being pure-hearted and having few desires is the Dao, and refining one's heart in the mortal world is also the Dao."

Princess Longji's eyes lit up; she hadn't expected Yin Qi, a mere mortal, to have such a deep understanding of the Great Dao.

Her curiosity about Yin Qi grew even more.

"Then may I ask Your Highness, what is the Great Dao?"

Yin Qi blurted out: "The Dao that can be told is not the eternal Dao."

Princess Longji asked again: "I cultivate the Dao of Water, where is the Dao?"

Yin Qi still answered using the "Tao Te Ching": "The highest good is like water; water benefits all things and does not contend. It dwells in places that all men despise, so it is close to the Dao. Because it does not contend, nothing in the world can contend with it."

It was still early before the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods, so presumably, Laozi's "Tao Te Ching" had not been written yet.

Such books that only write about the Great Dao could be said to be worth ten thousand gold, or they could be said to be worthless, because for ordinary people, no matter how much they understand the Great Dao, they cannot transform it into their own methods and techniques.

But it was different for Princess Longji; such insights into the Great Dao were precious to her.

She trembled all over, whispering softly.

The more she whispered, the more she felt the endless aftertaste, and looking at Yin Qi, she was filled with incredulity, unable to help but ask: "Your Highness, are these all your own insights?"

"Of course... not."

Yin Qi shook his head and said: "I like to read books, all kinds of books, and I saw these in an ancient book. It's just that the discussions of the Great Dao in the ancient book were also fragmented and not systematic. It just so happens that what you asked is exactly what I have read."

"So that's how it is!"

Princess Longji did not doubt him.

After all, the human race had produced the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, and behind them stood two saints, Nüwa and Laozi. As the son of the Human Emperor, it was not surprising that he could see many precious classics.

At this time, the Biyun Child and Luan Nv entered again.

The Biyun Child brought exquisite snacks and tea, and Luan Nv brought a plate of peaches that were red through the green.

Princess Longji smiled and said: "Your Highness, I don't have many products here, but these spirit peaches are something I can offer; they take a hundred years to bloom and ripen, and eating them can prolong life by a hundred years."

Yin Qi felt a little disappointed in his heart; he had originally thought they were flat peaches.

But being able to prolong life by a hundred years was not bad either.

Such spirit fruits, if placed in Great Shang, would probably only be something Di Yi could eat.

It was just that Yin Qi had always been very curious: with the foundation of the Great Shang Celestial Dynasty, they shouldn't be lacking in pills and precious materials to prolong life, so why was the lifespan of each Human Emperor no different from that of ordinary people?

Unable to figure it out, Yin Qi didn't think about it for the time being. He picked up a spirit peach and said: "To be honest, I have never eaten such a spirit object, so thank you very much for your hospitality, Fairy."

Crunch!

He took a bite, and his mouth was full of juice; the fruit flesh was crisp and sweet.

Yin Qi chewed gently, a look of satisfaction appearing in his eyes.

Especially as he swallowed the juice of the fruit flesh into his belly, the juice transformed into a vast and pure energy, surging through his entire body in a very gentle way.

At this moment, the blood pellet in his dantian could no longer be suppressed.

It spun rapidly, quickly absorbing the pure energy from Yin Qi's entire body, like a black hole.

As one spirit peach went down, the blood pellet expanded by a circle, like the size of a ping-pong ball, and its color became even more crimson, even interspersed with tiny specks of gold.

"Eh!"

Princess Longji looked at Yin Qi in surprise and suspicion. After hesitating several times, she couldn't help but ask: "Your Highness, the thing in your dantian is very strange; it looks like a golden core, but it's not a golden core?"

She actually wanted to say more: isn't it true that the Human Emperor clan in the mortal world cannot cultivate immortality?

What is going on here?

If this matter were to spread, it is estimated that all the saints would be shaken.

Yin Qi also knew that he couldn't hide it from Princess Longji, so he didn't hide it and smiled slightly: "Fairy, don't be surprised. I am not cultivating immortality; it's just a blood pellet I condensed using martial arts blood qi, referring to the method of the golden core.

This blood pellet can restrain the blood qi of my entire body, making me look like an ordinary person.

Of course, if I take action, I can also erupt with stronger combat power."

"So that's how it is."

Princess Longji marveled.

She looked at Yin Qi, her beautiful eyes flashing with brilliance.

Just in terms of cultivation, in her eyes, Yin Qi was no different from an ant.

But the ability to pioneer a cultivation method is something only a very small number of people possess, even looking at the entire Primordial World.

Does this mean that after the Martial Dao Heaven Realm, the path has been opened up?

Since he can condense a blood pellet, can a Nascent Soul be conceived from the blood pellet just like a golden core?

If so, wouldn't that be entering immortality through martial arts?

The more she looked at Yin Qi, the more she felt her heart pounding.

Handsome, jade-like temperament, skilled in poetry, proficient in music, knowledgeable about the Great Dao, and able to pioneer a cultivation method—how could there be such a perfect person in the world?

"By the way, this matter must not be known to outsiders."

Princess Longji suddenly thought of this point.

She spread her fair hand, and a jade pendant appeared, with very mysterious runes carved on it.

She threw it gently to Yin Qi and said at the same time: "Your Highness, it is best not to tell outsiders about the condensation of the blood pellet. This is a jade pendant that can hide your own aura; as long as it is not a Golden Immortal, they will not be able to detect it."

"Then thank you very much, Fairy."

Yin Qi took the jade pendant and wore it at his waist.

His heart moved slightly, and he was secretly happy.

Since Princess Longji could consider things for him, it seems that his previous operations had left a very good impression in her heart.

Next, Yin Qi chatted with Princess Longji.

From cultivation to poetry and songs, from music theory to strange tales of the mortal world.

At first, the two were discussing with each other, but later it was all Yin Qi talking, with all kinds of stories at his fingertips, interspersed with humorous jokes, making Princess Longji giggle from time to time.

Don't look at the fact that Princess Longji might be thousands or tens of thousands of years old, but in reality, her temperament is very simple, because she has spent most of her time in cultivation, and life in the Heavenly Court is boring, how can it compare to the mortal world.

Unknowingly, the time reached evening.

Yin Qi was not prepared to stay long, stopping when it was appropriate.

Only when one is still wanting more will one look forward to the next meeting even more.

He stood up, bowed, and said: "Fairy, it's getting late, I have to go back. This time I am going to Hongzhou for disaster relief, passing through this place, and I have to set off early tomorrow morning, so I cannot delay."

Although Princess Longji was reluctant in her heart, she had no reason to keep him, so she had to say: "Very well, I will see Your Highness out. After you return from the disaster relief in Hongzhou, come to the Green Phoenix Fighting Palace again.

By the way, Luan Nv, go to the peach orchard and pick some more hundred-year-old spirit peaches.

Pick more, so that Your Highness can quench his thirst on the road."

Although these hundred-year-old spirit peaches are rare in the mortal world, for her, they are just ordinary fruits to quench thirst.

Luan Nv nodded and turned to leave.

A rich smile appeared on Yin Qi's face, and his heart was also blooming with joy.

The first step of the strategy, success!
