Chapter 44: I Tell You This Is My Expression ( ´_ゝ｀) (1)
The thing started from when Qin Xingyan returned to the White-hart Taoist Temple.
At that time, due to the mutation of the Spirit Qi, she had to return to her sect to ask her master for the solution.
Unfortunately, her master also had no way to help. She could only pin her hopes on the ancient books and records of the taoist temple.
At first, it wasn’t a big problem, because the taoist temple had a specially-a.s.signed elder master responsible for the management books. He was an erudite old man. Though he didn’t know how to solve the problem, at least he knew where could she find related data… if Qin Xingyan searched for it herself, it would just be a waste of time.
However, before the knowledgeable elder master found any related book, he had found the special souvenir Qin Xingyan brought back – the fang of Kyuuki.
He didn’t know what creature the fang was from, but it having condensed spirit qi was true. Even the best spirit stone in the sect wasn’t one tenth better than the fang.
In modern times, the White-hart Taoist Temple was a famous sect among all the taoist temples, their best spirit stone was the leftover material from the jade of He family, which was famous in Chinese history and folk tales.
Unlike other spirit stones that would turn to dust after exhausting their spirit qi, even it was just the leftover material of the jade of He family, it had a special ability to absorb and save spirit qi from the void. In a sense, if you didn’t overdraw too much spirit qi from it, you could regard it as a spirit stone which contained inexhaustible spirit qi!
It had nothing to do with justice or evil, everyone wanted it. In this era, as the spirit qi was drying up, it played a extremely decisive role.
However, if compared it with the fang Qin Xingyan brought back, it was just something so so.
Let’s just put it this way. Even if they did nothing else but just destroyed the fang and released spirit qi from it, this behavior was already able to make Dan Xiao Mountain become a paradise abundant in spirit qi, and for at least three hundred years, the White-hart Taoist Temple didn’t need to worry about spirit qi.
Of course it shocked the masters of the White-hart Taoist Temple. Nearly all the “old men” of the sect got moving, for fear that any other sect casted their greedy eyes on this supreme treasure before they found a suitable way to hide it.
In that case, naturally, Qin Xingyan was pushed to the forefront again. The girl had to deal with countless praises and empty conventional talks without any preparation. She couldn’t help wanting to complain to her landlord, “What? You said it was from a small youkai! ”
In the end, the White-hart Taoist Temple emptied half Dan Xiao Mountain, and hid the fang of Kyuuki in the belly of the mountain. They dug out an artificial stream of spirit qi, making the White-hart Taoist Temple one of the limited number of cave paradises.
Moreover, the knowledgeable elder master had set the problem about the mutation in Jiangjin City aside. He only focused on sc.r.a.ping a few powders from the fang and mixing it with the sect’s spirit medicine, refining a batch of spirit pellets.
And the first beneficial owner of the spirit pellets was of course their greatest hero, Qin XIngyan.
According to her master’s words, it was a batch of very successful spirit pellets. At the same time they refined the spirit pellets, there was even purple lightning flashing in the sky.
If Qin Xingyan could absorb the energy inside the pellet, perhaps she could break the bottleneck to be the first one stepping on the immortal way in this era.
Qin XIngyan was very touched, she then ate a piece of spirit pellet, practicing and absorbing its power in the solitary room.
Afterwards, she almost died…
Obviously the Kyuuki’s energy was more fierce than the knowledgeable elder master imagined. The spirit pellet was good, but the fierce spirit qi it contained almost broke the girl’s meridians.
——split line——
“Basically this is what happened.” Sitting on the broken wall Qin Xingyan explained. “I know it was my fault since I didn’t tell you anything, but haven’t you gone too far?”
She watched the top of the mountain as she said that. At first, there was a magnificent taoist temple which was able to be seen from the back of the mountain, but now there was nothing. There was only a column of smoke, slowly ascending from the ground…
“B-but why didn’t you call me to tell me your situation?”
Xu Shenxing was gaping and speechless. After a while he stutteringly asked back.
“ Cell phone signal is not on the mountain.”
Ok, good reason.
Immediately Xu Shenxing felt that he was defeated.
“No, it’s not my fault! It’s China Telecom’s! It’s their fault!”
“I’m using China Mobile.”
“…”
“Senpai, it’s too ugly to disclaim your mistake, like a middle school student.”
“I’m sorry, it’s my fault…”
“Well, good boy.”
Moli looked at their farce from the side. She drew out a bowl of food from the ruin – only G.o.d knew why it remained intact; and then she sat on the ruin and ate the food, acting like a perfect destroyer of atmosphere.
“If your sect is innocent… I suggest that we go to the main hall as quick as possible… well, I mean the location where the main hall was. And remind your fellow-apprentices stop being sad. Their taoist temple is dropping down…”
“Dropping down?” Qin Xingyan asked with a confused look.
“Ahaha… just now, I asked a group of old men by the road (physical means). Because their resistance was too strong, I got angry and threw those old men and the taoist temple to the stratosphere… I guess it’s time they dropped down.”
Xu Shenxing scratched his face and said awkwardly.
“What is ‘ahaha’? It’s not something can be laughed off as a joke!” Qin Xingyan hurriedly waved her hand to summon her flying sword. She wanted to fly to the temple but forgot that her body meridians were damaged. She felt dizzy for a moment and almost fell on the ground.
Xu Shenxing immediately grasped her hands. “Don’t worry, hold me tight.”
After that he turned his head to Moli, who had finished eating the main food and tried to eat the preserved vegetables. “Moli, help me locate the original palace of the taoist temple. We will teleport (physical means) to there!”
Incidentally, the so called “teleport (physical means)” was to cut off from the void and go to another place through a crack in time and s.p.a.ce.
However, Only the Sakura Apartment Xu Shenxing could go to there using this method, because his “Homeland Divine Protection” was a permanent location in there. If he wanted to go to other places using this method, he needed Moli’s help, otherwise he had to try his luck. In the past he even carelessly went to the astros.p.a.ce, and also due to this, he found, after opening his “cloud scales” he could survive in the universe s.p.a.ce…
Besides, the “teleport (physical means)” had a certain influence on the degree of the world itself. For the sake of the world’s stability, he didn’t want to use it frequently.
However, it was an emergency so no problem… maybe?
“Give me dried fish. Otherwise I will do nothing.”
“Bah, bah.” Moli spat out the strange tasting preserved vegetable from her mouth and took this chance to threaten Xu Shenxing.
“Are you a cat?”
“I want to eat dried fish meow! Otherwise I will do nothing meow!”
“Remember your pride as the evil overlord!”
