“What?”
Erniu started. Clearly, he didn’t expect Xu Qing to call out to him and actually say such a thing.
However, as an experienced person, he immediately reacted at the next instant. His eyes suddenly lit up and he instantly arrived before Xu Qing.
“Little Qing, are you finally enlightened?”
“Are you going to do something big?”
“Aiyaya, why do 1 feel that I’m even more excited than you?”
Erniu was in high spirits and had forgotten that he was going to look for their master.
Being stared at by Erniu like this, Xu Qing felt very uncomfortable. However, he still maintained his usual expression and calmly spoke.
“1 don’t understand what you’re talking about.”
Erniu chuckled and took out more than ten boxes, giving them all to Xu Qing.
“These are all high-grade hairpins and have never been used before. 1 wonder why Nether Fairy was so persistent about the hairpins back then.”
“The materials used to forge them are all extraordinary materials. 1 originally planned to keep them and give them to others in the future.”
“But you can take them all.”
Erniu had an excited expression on his face and even glanced at the mansion behind Xu Qing.
Xu Qing had a headache. After he took those hairpins, he looked at his eldest senior brother and suddenly spoke.
“Eldest Senior Brother, do you think Master will choose to leave with the fragment-face’s flesh and blood after finding out that we have returned?”
When Erniu heard this, he gave a spurious smile.
“Little Qing, this move isn’t useful anymore. How can I be tempted by such a deliberate excuse? After all, our master has a broad vision.”
Even so, Erniu still mumbled inwardly.
Xu Qing blinked and spoke again.
“Although the Creator’s Manor has a lot of exceptional-grade materials, many precious items are needed to forge the Great Heavenly Dipper Armor, so if they use a little of some materials, it shouldn’t show in the final product.”
“Even if you can tell, it’ll be very difficult to forge it again. After all, it’s impossible for the Human Emperor to issue another decree for it.”
H
Eldest Senior Brother, if I were you, I would definitely keep an eye on this matter. This will be the armor you are going to wear, and the forging on the first day is equivalent to building its foundation. The materials needed are extremely important.”
Xu Qing rarely spoke so much in one go.
Erniu was stunned when he heard this. He hadn’t thought of this. After some thought, he felt that what Xu Qing said made sense. Hence, he felt conflicted.
A light flashed on Xu Qing’s body and the Grand Mystic Heaven Armor flew out, landing in front of him.
“Eldest Senior Brother, you can bring this armor with you and compare them.
You can’t let the Creator’s Manor cut corners.”
Erniu looked at the Grand Mystic Heaven Armor in front of him and felt its gorgeousness. He thought of his dream and then looked at Xu Qing.
“Kid, forget it.”
On one hand, Erniu could tell that Xu Qing wasn’t willing to let him follow. On the other hand, he also felt that what Xu Qing said made sense. Hence, he lifted his hand and grabbed the Grand Mystic Heaven Armor. He suppressed the regret in his heart and left.
Looking at the captain’s departing view, Xu Qing heaved a sigh of relief inwardly.
He retracted his gaze and turned to look at the mansion in front of him.
After a long time, he pushed the gates open.
The vermilion gate of the mansion slowly opened.
Spiritual energy gushed over, causing Xu Qing’s hair to float slightly backward. He sensed the density of the spiritual energy and walked in.
The moment he entered, the array formation of this mansion was instantly activated, as if it completely isolated anyone else from entering.
As the array formation spread out, a hidden blue worm in the air was ejected.
“Little Qing is too strict.”
The worm, feeling helpless, tried to use its telepathic abilities to probe the clone placed in Xu Qing’s storage bag but discovered that it was also isolated. With a sigh, it could only leave.
At the same time, outside Ning Yan’s residence, a purple figure holding a white oil-paper umbrella walked out of the gate with elegant steps and slowly walked toward the high spiritual mansion Xu Qing was in.
Under the oil umbrella was a graceful figure with a peerlessly beautiful face.
Moreover, she had clearly put on meticulous makeup…
However, her cheeks turned slightly red, and there was a peculiar gleam in her eyes, suggesting a mixture of nervousness and anticipation.
The rain grew heavier.
After fifteen minutes.
In the high spiritual mansion, Xu Qing checked all the areas of this residence according to his habit. After confirming that there was nothing wrong, he looked at the large mansion and arrived in front of the unique spirit pool in this residence as he recalled the scenes of him heading to the Flame Moon.
From the mountain moving at the start to the Mountains and Seas Region, then the Divine Realm, and finally encountering the three people from the holy land while returning. The rounds of schemes, battles, and vigilance had exhausted him mentally.
Now that he was finally safe, in this silent mansion, he decided to sit beside the pool and feel the dense spiritual energy in the surroundings as well as the comfortable warmth emitted by the pool water.
“I need to have a good rest. 1 also need to make a trip to the Variant Immortal School and study those inheritance jade slips again.”
Xu Qing mumbled.
After he confirmed his path in Flame Moon, the Variant Immortal style would become his main cultivation art in the future. Hence, Xu Qing wanted to spend some time comprehending it in detail.
He had to completely absorb the inheritance of the Variant Immortal School. Only then could he carve the path ahead.
“In the Variant Immortal School, no one has trodden the path ahead, and there are no cultivation techniques either. There are only concepts and directions… So everything that follows needs to be created.”
A sharp glint appeared in Xu Qing’s eyes. In reality, this was the path of cultivation. After reaching a certain level, unless the cultivation arts of the predecessors were too heaven-defying, it was impossible for them to be suitable for everyone.
If he wanted to go further, they had to create it himself.
If his cultivation was low and weak, such creation naturally needed the help of others, such as Old Master Seventh creating a cultivation art for him before.
However, now that Xu Qing had stepped into the Nihility, in theory, he already had the qualifications to create his own cultivation art. It was just that the difficulty was very high. After all, creating a cultivation art required opportunities and comprehension.
“Fortunately, I have the liaoxuan holy liquid!”
Xu Qing grabbed at the air. Immediately, a small white bottle appeared in his palm.
The liaoxuan holy liquid in the bottle could be said to be an extremely precious heavenly treasure. Otherwise, it wouldn’t have attracted the covetous gazes of the three people from the holy land.
It possessed mysterious effects and was extremely helpful in comprehending laws.
Xu Qing recalled the scene in the catacombs earlier. Just by smelling it, it caused the hundred divine authority marks on his nihility land to fluctuate.
“Let me try again.”
After making a decision, Xu Qing opened the small bottle. Immediately, a fragrance spread out in all directions. At the same time, the pool water in front of Xu Qing seemed to be boiling.
Xu Qing’s heart stirred. After pondering for a moment, he simply poured a drop into the pool water.
When the drop landed, the entire surface of the spirit pool instantly churned.
Thick fog rose and the spiritual energy of the pool water was also a little denser than before.
Although the fragrance was a little faint, it permeated the entire pool.
Xu Qing stood up to take off his clothes, revealing his muscular body. He then walked into the pool and sat down cross-legged.
Endless spiritual energy gushed into his body from the pool water. After the drop of liaoxuan holy liquid contained in it was diluted like this, a portion of it permeated Xu Qing’s entire body along with the spiritual water and a portion fused into the spiritual energy before being absorbed into his body.
A sense of comfort slowly rose in Xu Qing’s body and soul. His body and soul slowly relaxed, and he became immersed in these senses, his mind slowly becoming empty.
Time flowed by. Two hours later, Xu Qing slowly opened his eyes.
His eyes were at a loss at first, but then they became clear. He looked at the nihility land in his body and saw that the divine authority marks on them seemed to be clearer than before.
“Although I didn’t gain anything concrete, that feeling just now…”
Xu Qing mumbled and recalled that ethereal feeling. He wanted to continue comprehending.
However, at this moment, his expression changed slightly. He spread out his divine sense and fused it into the array formation of the mansion. He saw a beautiful figure walking over from outside the mansion.
Despite holding an oil-paper umbrella, her graceful figure was still discernible, especially with the rainwater on the ground, as if she were stepping on lotus petals.
When she stood in front of the gate, her posture was even more elegant and graceful, capable of captivating everyone.
The moment Xu Qing swept his divine sense over, the oil-paper umbrella held by the beautiful figure was lifted slightly, revealing a peerlessly beautiful face.
“Still not opening the gate?”
Xu Qing’s heart skipped a beat. He instinctively stood up and hurriedly put on his clothes. For some reason, all kinds of thoughts rose in his mind but in the end, he still silently raised his hand.
Immediately, a gap appeared in the mansion’s array formation.
The beautiful figure waved her fair hand and the gate opened. After she stepped in, the gate closed and the array formation immediately closed.
In the air, the blue worm was forced out again. Erniu hadn’t left from the start…
“This is too much.”
Xu Qing didn’t hear Erniu’s indignant voice. At that moment, the void fluctuated in front of him and the purple figure revealed herself.
Xu Qing instinctively became nervous and his body stiffened unknowingly.
“Greetings, Fairy Zi Xuan.”
Xu Qing’s voice was slightly hoarse.
The person who came was naturally Zi Xuan.
Standing beside the spirit pool, she was like a painting, her eyebrows and eyes delicately drawn, curved and graceful. Her phoenix-like eyes were as clear and bright as autumn water, full of tenderness and vitality.
The lively and radiant charm in her eyes made it unforgettable at first sight.
Only the description of a charming smile and a beautiful gaze could begin to capture her beauty.
At that moment, she first swept her gaze across Xu Qing’s body, then looked at the spirit pool at the side. There was a hint of something unusual in her phoenix-like eyes, but she quickly composed herself, smiling lightly as she spoke.
“Why do you look so unnatural when you see me?”
“Could it be because we haven’t seen each other for many years, or is it because Heavenly King Xu has encountered other splendid scenes on his journey through life in the Flame Moon Mystic Heaven Race?”
Zi Xuan slowly spoke. As she spoke, she walked to the side of the pool. After taking off her shoes, she sat down and dipped her fair feet into the water, causing water to splash.
Xu Qing didn’t know what to say either. He was usually reticent, and was even more so now.
In the end, he could only lift his right hand and take out more than ten boxes, placing them in front of him.
Zi Xuan had a spurious smile on her face. With a wave of her jade-like hand, those boxes were opened one after another. They were all hairpins…
Xu Qing took out all the boxes that the captain had given him.
Even Zi Xuan was stunned by this scene.
“So many? Are they all for me?”
Xu Qing nodded.
Upon hearing this, Zi Xuan blinked her eyes. Her cherry-like lips, slightly upturned, carried a hint of charm.
“Whoever heard of giving away so many hairpins all at once?”
Xu Qing didn’t know how to answer and could only remain silent.
Zi Xuan smiled and collected all the hairpins with a smile, leaving only one beside her. Then, her beautiful eyes fell on Xu Qing.
“Silly Xu, aren’t you going to ask me why I’m here?”
“Zi Xuan… why is fairy here?” Xu Qing was completely on the passive side and instinctively asked.
“I’m here to take a bath.”
Zi Xuan spoke softly.
The fog spread out and enveloped her graceful figure slightly. Amidst the haziness, there seemed to be a red flush rising on her cheeks..
