Chapter 220

Jiang Sishui understood instantly.

For such a reasonable request, he naturally had no reason not to fulfill it.

Thus, at the dinner table that night, Hou Jian was absent.

Of course, with Hou Jian's special constitution, he had basically shed his dependence on food and had begun to feast on clouds and consume Qi.

Just like Xu Yang and Wu Zun, imprisoned for ten years without eating or drinking, yet still full of vitality.

【The chains binding Xu Yang and Wu Zun were made of an unknown divine iron; they couldn't even be broken by a Demigod. I wonder where the Qinglong Society Leader found them.】

【Even more astonishing, the Qinglong Society Leader actually had the ability to forge the divine iron into chains.】

【What does this indicate?】

【It indicates that this fellow is not only ridiculously powerful but also controls at least one "ultimate weapon"!】

【After all, in the drama, the only thing capable of melting divine iron chains is "Heavenly Fire".】

"Demigod? The two top experts of the Yu Clan are Demigods?!"

The very first sentence of today's diary entry shocked all the women.

A Demigod is the pinnacle of individual power in this world.

A single Demigod can establish a Wu Lin holy land, and even empires must treat them with caution.

Yet the Yu Clan actually possesses two!

It is only because they are a reclusive race, not participating in the worldly scheming and infighting, that otherwise, with the Yu Clan's strength plus their miraculous Wu Shu, they could absolutely cause a massive earthquake throughout the Central Region.

"Heavenly Fire? What exactly is Heavenly Fire?"

【According to the plot setting, "Heavenly Fire" is a flame that exists only in legend.】

【To possess "Heavenly Fire", one must first possess "Zhu Rong Power".】

【According to the Yu Clan's "Wu Dian", a person must cultivate the Wu Gong of eight different Men Sects since childhood, possess eight different types of internal energy within their body, then drink "Dragon Saliva Tea" without dying, absorb the energy within the tea, use it to fuse the eight types of internal energy into one, and finally undergo tempering by a great fire to obtain "Zhu Rong Power".】

【With "Zhu Rong Power", if one also obtains the supreme Yin Qi of the Yu Clan's Wu Zun, achieving a balance of Yin and Yang, and if luck is sufficient, "Heavenly Fire" may be born within the body.】

244 Zhou Wu's Vigilance, Qiu Yue and Qiu Xiang

Seeing such complex conditions, all the women fell silent.

Leaving aside other things, just the first hurdle: who would idly cultivate eight different types of internal energy?

Are they not afraid of conflicting True Qi, causing their meridians to snap completely and leading to death?

Not to mention the subsequent requirements of the reclusive Yu Clan's "Dragon Saliva Tea" and the Wu Zun's supreme Yin Qi.

The difficulty is not just great; it is extraordinary.

Even if one gathers all these things, success or failure still depends on luck.

If successful, one obtains "Heavenly Fire".

If failed?

Although Jiang Sishui did not say it, the result of so many extraordinary powers existing simultaneously within the body without being fused is obvious.

However, while all the women were sighing at the difficulty of obtaining "Heavenly Fire", someone else began to scheme.

Yuzhou, Kong Que Shanzhuang.

Nangong Ling murmured softly, "Eight different types of internal energy... doesn't Brother Qiu, having learned arts from eight Masters since childhood, possess eight different types of internal energy?"

"Dragon Saliva Tea... Zhou Wu has 'Dragon Saliva Tea', and Brother Qiu worked as a waiter at her tea stall..."

Suddenly, Nangong Ling recalled that when Brother Qiu Fengwu was brought back that day, he was clearly unconscious, yet Zhou Wu claimed he had received a great blessing.

And indeed, after Qiu Fengwu woke up, his martial arts power had increased greatly.

"Could it be that Brother Qiu also drank 'Dragon Saliva Tea' that day?!"

A flash of realization surged in Nangong Ling's heart.

"Does this not mean that if Brother Qiu undergoes a single tempering by a great fire, he will possess 'Zhu Rong Power'?"

"If he then obtains the supreme Yin Qi of the Yu Clan's Wu Zun, 'Heavenly Fire' may be born within his body?"

Thinking of this, Nangong Ling's eyes lit up.

Currently, Kong Que Shanzhuang is being targeted by the Qinglong Society, and the outcome is uncertain; if Qiu Fengwu can possess "Heavenly Fire", the strength of Kong Que Shanzhuang will surely skyrocket!

After all, according to what Jiang Sishui said, that "Heavenly Fire" can even melt divine iron chains!

【In the drama, the protagonist Qiu Fengwu accidentally obtained "Heavenly Fire" and inadvertently comprehended a set of "Dragon Saliva Palm", which allowed him to melt the divine iron chains and rescue the Twin Dragons.】

【Then, perhaps the Qinglong Society Leader possesses an ultimate weapon of the same level as "Heavenly Fire".】

【Of course, it is also possible that those divine iron chains were not forged by him, but were in chain form from the very beginning.】

【This Qinglong Society Leader, who never appeared in the drama, truly makes me increasingly curious.】

Ice Domain.

Seeing Jiang Sishui's speculation, Zhou Wu felt a surge of alarm.

Imprisoned for ten years, Xu Yang and Wu Zun harbor intense hatred toward the Qinglong Society Leader.

Especially the latter, who wishes nothing more than to find the other immediately and fight to the death.

And if the Qinglong Society Leader might be hiding such a trump card, then those two must be careful.

"No, I must warn them; under no circumstances can they be careless and fall into an ambush again."

"If there truly comes a day when they meet the Qinglong Society Leader again, let those two attack together; absolutely no talking about single combat!"

Zhou Wu made a silent determination.

The others were thinking: "The Qinglong Society Leader never appeared in the drama? Does this mean he also does not know who the Qinglong Society Leader is?"

【I don't have "Heavenly Fire," so I naturally can't melt the divine iron chains】

【But my "Purification Technique" can lift the curse placed by the Azure Dragon Order Master on the Twin Dragons, shrinking their forms and returning them to human shape】

【Now that the Twin Dragons are free, this debt, combined with the marriage alliance through Hou Jian, has connected us with the Yu Clan】

If some demigod comes looking for trouble in the future, hehe, I'll summon Xu Yang and the Witch Sovereign to beat him down together!

【Now, the Mantuo Shanzhuang can truly be called impregnable】

Mantuo Shanzhuang.

The women suddenly understood—no wonder Jiang Sishui had gone to such lengths to cultivate good relations with the Yu Clan.

He was adding a higher layer of security for their safety!

The "Water-Control Pearl" can kill a Tianren in Taihu, but it cannot stop a half-god.

Jiang Sishui wasn't sure how strong the protection of the "Kunji Seal" really was.

So strictly speaking, Mantuo Shanzhuang is not an absolutely safe place.

But now, he has a debt from the Yu Clan, and the two sides have formed an alliance.

If danger truly arises, with this bond between them, how could he fail to persuade Xu Yang and the Witch Sovereign to come to his aid?

With two half-god-level allies, Mantuo Shanzhuang is now as safe as the Ice Realm!

【I've also obtained Liu Xing's soul tablet】

【If the plot hasn't changed, finding her father won't be difficult】

【As for Liu Xing… though I don't know where she is now, it doesn't matter—there are plenty of ways to find people】

"He really got my soul tablet!"

Liu Xing clenched her fist, her beautiful eyes, full of grace, gleaming with excitement and joy.

Now, she only waits for Jiang Sishui to find her father, Jin Kaijia, to expose his location in the diary, then go directly to reunite with him.

【There are hundreds of soul tablets there from the Twin Dragons—I even saw a familiar name—Qiuyue】

【That name reminded me of a TV drama called "The Four Talents in Gold Dress," one of whose heroines was named Qiuyue】

【She and Qiuxiang were separated twin sisters, if I recall】

【I wonder if the owner of this soul tablet is that same Qiuyue?】

【If so, then which version of Qiuxiang is this world's?】

【When I first saw Tang Bohu, I thought Qiuxiang must be the movie version—but now, it's not certain】

【I took Qiuyue's soul tablet—perhaps one day I'll meet her; if she's Qiuxiang's sister, I'll have them come to Mantuo Shanzhuang to reunite】

【Coincidentally, the Hua Grand Master's mansion is also in Suzhou】

Jingzhou, Wenrouxiang.

Qiuyue, who had been sent undercover to a brothel, crushed the teacup in her hand, her usually cold eyes sparkling with bright light.
