Chapter 249: There is such a good thing! ?
After saying goodbye to Liu Zijing, Zhao Qing took his aunt directly into the preaching hall.
It's also a good opportunity for Xiaoyi to learn more about the uniqueness of this Jingzhe Banquet.
The high dome is dotted with sparkling pearls and jade, which looks extremely gorgeous in the dark palace.
The vast spiritual energy is almost condensed into juice, enough to provide for a group of monks to practice together.
At this moment, the preaching hall was extremely quiet.
Most of the Blood-Clothed disciples sat at a table of two or four, but there were also cultivators from the same country who sat together in meditation.
A woman's light and clear voice echoed...
"Brother Pang, Junior Sister Cui from the Li Kingdom once practiced a martial art called 'Blood-Transforming Knife.' The circulation of spiritual energy through her meridians mobilized her Qi and blood, which conflicted with the Azure Dragon Blood Canon, preventing them from traveling through the Great Circulation. Why is this?"
Pang Zhen's laughter spread through the formation.
"Blood Transformation Knife, Blood Curse, Nine Yang Six Breaks, Heart-Destroying Art... For any meridians that are traversed by the Military Art and Spiritual Art, bypassing the Ren and Chong meridians and directly targeting the Yang Qiao, one should use one's own blood and qi to simulate Yang, practicing the Military Art first and then the Blood Art."
Zhao Qing took Xiaoyi's slender hand and stepped into the hall. He found an empty table and sat down, listening to the endless questions and answers.
He skillfully took the tea from the jade table and explained to Xiaoyi using his spiritual sense.
"Blood God Peak's teachings are conducted in this manner, through questions and answers. It's extremely quick and covers most of the difficult aspects of cultivation. It lasts four hours a day, and the rest of the time is spent on feasting and entertainment."
"You can first write down the conversations with your senior brothers and sisters, and then ponder them in detail after returning to Chu State. Or, you can just forget about them and reflect on them for your own cultivation."
He thought for a moment and continued to transmit the message.
"The woman who asked this question is surnamed Xu, she practices Qi cultivation, and is the ninth blood son of Yongning Prefecture."
"The person who answered the question is Senior Brother Pang Zhen, the Blood Son of the Spiritual Transformation Realm, the true leader of the Blood Robe lineage in Yongning Prefecture."
The aunt's beautiful eyes fluttered, and she didn't care about the occasional glances. She sipped her tea and appreciated the wonderful use of this rare treasure.
Pang Zhen... was the one who wanted to keep Zhao Qing in Yongning.
She had heard Zhao Qing talk about it many times. Yongning had a total of five blood sons. Senior Brother Pang Zhen, who was in the Spirit Transformation Realm, was in charge of the affairs concerning the blood robes of the Eighteen Nations. The remaining four had their own division of labor, and the blood sons' profits also varied.
After the eighth position becomes vacant, all the eighth blood sons in the world will be replaced. The old generation of blood sons in Yongning Prefecture will enter the imperial capital of Liao and coordinate the major sects to work for the Blood God Peak.
In short, the Blood God Peak is above the entire Liao Kingdom. Although it does not occupy any counties, does not mine spiritual mines, and only has a corner of its settlement, its status is extremely transcendent.
Moreover, when the Blood-Clothed disciples talked to each other, they would not mention the Blood God Peak. They would only say that they had been to the Liao Kingdom, or refer to western Liaoning.
She swallowed the tea, her neck rising and falling slightly.
Not to mention the miraculous effects of nourishing spiritual consciousness and activating martial arts, the rich and mellow aftertaste alone is very different from ordinary tea and is worth savoring carefully.
The aunt was surprised and sent a message to Zhao Qing.
"If the various branches of Yujing are compared to a sect, they truly possess the power to cover the heavens."
"Danxia's outer disciples are only stationed in the miscellaneous service workshop, or perform rituals in the four southwestern counties. Although the inner disciples have a higher status, they are just a unified hall and stationed in an alchemy shop..."
Zhao Qing nodded slightly and responded, "We are equivalent to Blood Robe's outer disciples."
My aunt's slender fingers gently stroked the jade cup in her hand, and she transmitted a voice: "The outer sect is stationed in the country, and the inner sect is stationed in the state. They really treat the world as a chessboard."
A smile gradually appeared on her cold face.
Ever since I accidentally saw a brief description of the Twelve Towers of Yujing in the clan records of the Duke's Mansion, and now I am attending the Jingzhe Banquet at the Blood God Peak, it has suddenly happened that I have become a wife.
If you don’t travel thousands of miles, you won’t know how vast the world is.
There are many mysterious things in the world, but the fact that outer disciples are stationed in different countries and can only get together for three days a year still seems incredible to her now.
……
Not long after, the words echoing in the dome disappeared. It happened to be the hour of Si, and it was time for the banquet.
The monks in the hall gradually started talking to each other, and for a moment it seemed a bit scattered and noisy.
Zhao Qing was already accustomed to all the procedures, so he simply pulled Xiaoyi to his side and waited for all kinds of rare delicacies to be delivered.
"The teachings will be from the beginning of Chenshi to the end of Sishi, and then there will be banquets and entertainment. At night, there will be two hours of answering questions about the exercises." He spoke softly.
Soon, one after another, female cultivators in palace attire filed in. They were all in the middle stage of Qi training and came from the imperial capital of the Liao Kingdom.
But they... were just maids who came to deliver rare dishes.
A woman in the Nascent Soul stage was walking slowly at the end. Zhao Qing glanced at her and didn't look at her any more.
It was the female cultivator named Meng who had answered the question in the preaching just now. She was a blood child of the Nascent Soul Realm, and she was wealthy and generous, and took good care of everyone.
She is the one who prepares the lucky numbers for the Jingzhe Banquet every year.
Senior Sister Meng casually walked among the maids and chuckled, "There aren't many treasures this year."
"The Golden Core Realm still has two supreme spiritual weapons."
"I bought eight of these at the Foundation Establishment stage this year, eight of which can help me cultivate my spiritual consciousness more effectively."
"At the Qi Training Stage, there are three mechanical beasts. After placing high-grade spirit stones, they can unleash the strength of the Foundation Establishment Stage."
"besides……"
Zhao Qing sighed lightly. This Jingzhe Banquet was not very interesting. It was still just a plain and unpretentious way of throwing money around.
This kind of operation, similar to a company's annual meeting, is simply impossible to see in other forces.
When you invite someone to dinner, you should also give them money. This is only done when you need help from others.
But the blood-stained clothes are different. They simply have a lot of money.
This is just the most remote Yongning Prefecture...
As for the advice Liu Zijing gave him early in the morning, he simply pretended not to hear it.
Originally, I was ready to seriously consider going to other states, but then I heard that all the profits from Chu State should be given to him... Zhao Qing bowed directly: Thank you, senior brother!
Senior Brother Liu’s suggestion is very perfect, and I also agree with his arrangement. I, Zhao Qing, will always remember Senior Brother Liu’s kindness.
But Senior Brother Liu wants me to leave Yongning, which is absolutely impossible!
The Chu State gets a share of the profits, which is almost equal to one million spirit stones a year. This is more than enough to support his entire family in their practice to the Golden Elixir stage, and he can even support little Si He.
I was born in Chu, my biological father is in Chu, and it makes sense for me to spend Chu's money after becoming a blood son.
The hall was in great chaos, with monks gathered in groups of three or five, chatting and talking about the interesting things they had seen and heard in the past year.
Some people simply gave up the banquet and clamored to go to the foot of the peak to practice martial arts.
More than ten people also started to stir up trouble and directly snatched Senior Brother Jindan's top-grade spiritual weapon, saying that even Foundation Establishment disciples wanted to try it...
The four foundation-building cultivators walked through the crowd and came to Zhao Qing's table and sat down directly.
The two men and two women were Blood-Clothed disciples stationed at the Liguo Commercial House. They were very familiar with Shen Mo. Zhao Qing and Qing Huan had also ridden the spirit boat with them.
"Junior Sister Zhou!"
The man laughed heartily and directly filled his aunt's glass with the spirit wine.
Zhao Qing introduced: "This Senior Sister Jiang is stationed in Danying Fort of Li Country, Senior Brother Zhai is in Juechen Valley of Li Country, and there is also Senior Brother Zhang..."
Zhou Xiaoyi greeted them one by one and said softly, "Xiaoyi has been to Juechen Valley before. It is on the edge of the desert in the extreme south of Li Country."
Zhao Qing smiled but said nothing.
The Juechen Valley in the southern desert of Li Country is the home of Xiaoyi's mother's tribe.
Before, he was worried that there would be too many disturbances in Li Country and it would not be suitable to go there. Now everything is settled... After the Blood Son Trial, the whole family can go to Li Country.
The man named Zhai laughed out loud and said, "Zhai has been stationed in Juechen Valley for more than 20 years. It's quite a coincidence."
"Twenty years ago, Xiaoyi was still a young girl, and it happened to be during that period that she left the country."
My aunt chuckled and talked to a few people. She was not introverted, so she was able to chat with the four of them.
During the discussion, when Kong Yang Hong Ning was mentioned, everyone became familiar with her.
Yongning Prefecture is not big, and the Chu State and the Li State are adjacent to each other, so the disciples of Yujing are very familiar with each other.
Not long after, Shen Mo also arrived. A group of seven people gathered together to watch the martial arts performance of their senior brother in the Jindan realm. Zhao Qing also exchanged communication jades with several cultivators from the Li Kingdom, and said that he would have a good time in the Li Kingdom.
The banquet was followed by another sermon, which lasted until nearly midnight...
The bright moon hangs high in the sky like a frosted mirror, and the night wind gently blows across the peaks and cliffs.
Monks were chatting in groups of three or four, strolling on the green lawn, or taking out their spirit boats to rest. Many people were noisily rushing to the Liao imperial capital for sightseeing.
The senior brothers and sisters who were there during the day were among them, and they also asked Zhao Qing and my aunt to come together.
It is said that they are going to visit the Yehua Tower in Liaodu, see beauties sipping tea, and see talented men composing poems to compete for the favor of beauties.
Zhao Qing actually wanted to go and take a look, and his aunt had no objection. She even thought it would be fun to accompany Zhao Qing on an outing at night.
only……
Zhao Qing was still waiting for the call from the top hall, so he had to refuse everyone's invitation and lie on another low peak with his aunt to watch the moon.
What if Pang Zhen comes to look for me tonight and I end up watching the fun in Liaodu? How embarrassing would that be?
He put his arm around Xiaoyi's slender waist and casually recounted what he had seen and heard at the Blood God Peak.
The woman closed her beautiful eyes lazily, resting her head on Zhao Qing's arm, talking to him in a low voice from time to time, looking quite peaceful.
It was around Chou hour.
The world was completely silent, and the blood jade on Zhao Qing's body suddenly flashed with a strange red light.
coming!
The aunt opened her eyes, and they both examined the blood jade together.
"Come to the Blood Temple."
There were only four short words, but it was obvious that the five blood sons were the ones who could convey the message to the disciples through the blood jade.
Zhao Qing was well prepared and did not let his aunt wait for him on the spirit boat. Instead, the two of them went to the top hall together.
Although there are five blood sons among them, Senior Brother Pang Zhen has reached the level of Spirit Transformation and is a real big boss.
But Zhao Qing is no longer the weakling who first came to Liaoxi. At least he can see the prospect of achieving the Golden Elixir within twenty years.
He still had the Liuxian relics left by Hong Ning in his hand, which could easily help him break through the realm and condense the pill.
Moreover, he had met many big men over the years, including the two world-traveling masters in the Foundation Establishment Realm and the abbot Daoxin who was guarding Heyang Mountain. Si He's thoughts were always with them...
Now it seems that the big boss of this top palace is not so far away and out of reach.
The Blood God Temple was extremely dark at night, and there were no night pearls to illuminate it. Only a faint light was emitted at the end of the narrow corridor.
The footsteps of the two people echoed in the hall, making the place even more desolate and quiet.
"Junior brothers and sisters, this way, the back garden." A gentle female voice came out, it was Senior Sister Meng.
Not long after, Zhao Qing and Xiaoyi arrived at the quiet courtyard at the end of the corridor.
The patterns on the huge jade plate rise and fall one after another. At first glance, it seems that the moonlight is distorted in it, and the spiritual energy and moonlight mix into a thin spring, flowing silently.
There are only three people in this courtyard... the three blood sons of the Spiritual Transformation, Nascent Soul, and Foundation Establishment stages.
As for the other two, no one knew where they went.
"Zhao Qing meets senior brothers and sisters."
"Zhou Xiaoyi meets the senior brothers and sisters."
Pang Zhen laughed loudly and said, "Hurry and sit down."
Senior Sister Meng, who was at the Nascent Soul stage, noticed Zhao Qing's gaze and casually explained, "The Moon Drinking Formation is used by Senior Brother Pang for cultivation. Occasionally, we also steal his moonlight in private."
Pang Zhen smiled and shook his head. He looked Xiaoyi up and down and asked in surprise, "Qinghuan didn't come this year?"
Zhao Qing replied respectfully, "Qinghuan was visiting a friend's house and happened to miss the opportunity."
He was not puzzled by Brother Pang's attitude. Ever since he mentioned that there was an unfathomable blood-robed walker in Yongning Prefecture, he had become much gentler.
But Zhao Qing did not lie.
Isn’t Qingying the first generation of Walking?
Even though it has nothing to do with me...
Another male cultivator chuckled, "I've heard from Senior Sister Bai that you have three beautiful wives in your family. What's the name of the other one?"
what! ?
Zhao Qing glanced sideways. It was the blood son of the Foundation Establishment Realm. He rarely appeared and was said to be living in the imperial capital of the Liao Kingdom. His name was Liang Yu.
The position that he would take over was that of Senior Brother Liang Yu.
Since they were just chatting about family matters, Zhao Qing joined them in casual conversation: "There's another one named Shuyue, and Senior Sister Bai has only met her once or twice."
This Senior Sister Bai is naturally Bai Wanqiu.
Although Liang Yu is a blood son, Yongning Prefecture is a small place and there are not many Yujing cultivators. They gather together to practice and keep each other warm.
"Shuyue..."
Meng Xue repeated softly, then looked at Pang Zhen and said with a smile, "There was one spot left at Blood God Peak last year. I think we can give it to Xiao Qing."
Pang Zhen nodded slightly: "You said this Bai guy, I have always been extremely dissatisfied with him!"
"Why does Tianxiang have the final say on the Chu Kingdom's combat training quota?!"
"Zhao Qing, don't let Shuyue follow the path of the Chu Kingdom. Use the quota of Blood God Peak directly, and then ask your Senior Sister Meng for the inheritance blood!"
Zhao Qing: ???
What kind of plane?
Shouldn't you persuade me to stay in Yongning?
He was a little uncomfortable with the sudden friendliness, and after glancing at his aunt's beautiful, stunned eyes, he could only respond.
"Thank you, senior brothers and sisters, for your cultivation!"
"Brother Pang, why is the Chu State so strange that Tianxiang has to take the test for the Blood Robe qualification?"
Pang Zhen snorted coldly, seeming a little indignant.
He thought for a moment and said, "It has something to do with the several people who preached in the State of Chu back then."
Meng Xuejiao laughed out loud: "A debt of love!"
"Seven hundred years ago, the various sects preached in Yongning Prefecture. Tianxiang walked with charm and beauty. Zhan Xiu and the three sects walked and handed over the inheritance of the Chu State to the Tianxiang sect."
Hearing this, Zhao Qing was a little unresponsive.
Oh...it turned out to be Feiyangyang, he secretly complained to Si He.
"This kind of thing is very common in many states throughout the country, and most of it is related to the preaching walks of the past."
"Bodhi will oversee the assessment of all White Jade disciples in Bone Province."
Pang Zhen said slowly, "Don't listen to your senior sister's random fabrications. This is actually a private relationship between those seniors."
He lowered his head to play with the paper fan in his hand, tapping lightly on the table.
"The Blood Son Trial will begin in the next two years, and many kids from other states want to come to Yongning to participate."
"I have already sent a message to the seven southwestern states. Yongning's blood son has been determined. There is no need to waste any more efforts."
Pang Zhen met Zhao Qing's sluggish gaze and slowly spoke.
"We have fewer Blood Robe Monks in Yongning. If you come to Yongning to participate in the Blood Son Trial, your chances will be greater."
Zhao Qing knew what was going on and nodded in response while listening.
Meng Xuejiao laughed and said, "Our Yongning Foundation Establishment disciples are just soft persimmons. Everyone wants to squeeze them."
"Junior Brother Zhao, I think you should not listen to Pang Zhen. Go and pinch them and snatch their blood son quota directly."
As soon as these words were spoken, the courtyard suddenly became quiet.
Zhao Qing never expected that what awaited him was not persuasion, but provocation...
"Senior Sister Meng, you're joking. I do want to go, but the road ahead is difficult. I'm afraid I'll run into trouble before I even reach other states."
Meng Xue's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, and she said softly, "Senior Sister is taking you to rob?"
Zhao Qing: ...
"I see that all the disciples from Chu State have gone to Liaodu. Let Junior Brother Liang take you there as well."
"It just so happens that he also needs to familiarize himself with the affairs of the royal family. It would be best if you could do some of the handover first."
Liang Yu was well prepared and whispered, "We have to hurry up, the Night Flower House will be closing soon..."
Zhao Qing was silent and thoughtful.
He clearly knew that he was being forced upon by a tyrant. The Blood Son Trial hadn't even begun, but he was already enjoying the perks of a Blood Son...
There is such a good thing! ?
