790 Xu Qing, Do You Have a Dao Companion (2)
Lord Edict Bearer, I think I can be your scribe!
Ning Yan spoke loudly.
Have you found Qing Qiu? Xu Qing glanced at Ning Yan.
I found her, this b*tch...
Xu Qings gaze turned cold.
Ning Yan shuddered and hurriedly changed his words.
Lord Qing Qiu previously assisted the Yinghuang Provinces Litu Sect and headed to the Nanhuang Continent...
Xu Qing nodded and didnt speak again.
Ning Yan quickly moved away, and when he was quite far, he let out a sigh of relief, thinking that Xu Qing had gained a more prominent aura in the past half month. He understood that it was the pressure created by the fortune of Fenghai County surrounding him.
This kind of pressure made it so that even though Xu Qings cultivation was just at the first stage of Nascent Soul, ordinary people of the same realm would find it difficult to contend against him.
Xu Qing didnt bother with Ning Yan. He turned and walked toward the Sword Holding Palaces library.
During this half month, he frequently visited there, and at his request, the records from the Law Palace, the Observance Palace, and even the County Governor Residence were all brought over.
There were a lot of them.
Brother Xu Qing, who is Qing Qiu?
On the way to the Library, Xu Qings right sleeve revealed a small white snake, its innocent and curious eyes blinking as it asked the question.
A childhood companion. After we meet later, I will introduce you to her.
Xu Qing lowered his head and lifted his left hand to gently stroke the little white snakes head as he spoke softly.
His touch made the small white snake feel very comfortable. It even narrowed its eyes and let out a bell-like laugh.
Gurgle gurgle.
Xu Qing also smiled. Previously, at the bottom of the Spirit Abyss, before he lost consciousness, it was Linger who saved him again.
As for Lingers cultivation and absorption of the ancient spirits luck, she hadnt completed them yet. The process was slow, so she could only coil around Xu Qings right wrist in the form of a little white snake.
Just like that, Xu Qing returned to the Library and continued to search for all the books and information here. Time flowed by and three days passed.
Xu Qing felt some regret. Although he had gained something, it wasnt much.
What he wanted to find was the introduction of the life lantern and how to completely fuse it into his body.
The captain had said that many people had tried to do it since countless years ago, but no one had succeeded.
Through these few days of flipping through the ancient books, Xu Qing knew that what the captain said wasnt completely correct.
In history, there had been people who had succeeded.
That was before the gods fragmented-face arrived. Before the era of the Ancient Spirit Emperor, there was an ancient ruler who took an unorthodox path.
Generally speaking, cultivators could change their own bloodline and give birth to a life lantern within their bodies after reaching the sovereign or ruler realm. Subsequent generations could then enjoy the benefits, and the life lantern formed during the Foundation Establishment stage.
However, the path this ruler took was the opposite.
Just like Xu Qing, he killed the descendant of an ancient ruler when he was in the Foundation Building realm. He dug out the life lantern and fused it into his body. After experiencing a narrow escape, he really managed to fuse the life lantern into his bloodline and completely turn it into his own. After that, he experienced many life-and-death calamities and soared into the sky, becoming a ruler.
In the records collected by the Deputy Governor, there were only a few words about the introduction of this ruler. After all, it was too ancient.
In fact, this bit of information was only recorded because of such a heaven-defying event.
As for whether it was true or false, it was hard to tell.
Light from beyond the sky?
Xu Qing mumbled. The records of that ruler had mentioned these five words. It seemed that the reason why the other party could fuse with the life lantern was because of a mysterious thing called light from beyond the sky.
However, the light from beyond the sky had only been mentioned in the records of the ruler. Xu Qing hadnt found any clues about it in any other books these few days.
In fact, Xu Qing had even asked his master a few days ago but his master said that he had never heard of it. Xu Qing had also asked Marquis Yao about it and the other party told him that he would ask a friend in the Imperial City.
With regret, Xu Qing returned to the Secretariat Department and dealt with the official documents sent by the various provinces. It was only at noon the next day that he received a voice transmission from Marquis Yao.
Xu Qing, Ive helped find some of the information you want. Also, I have something for you. Can you come to my residence?
Xu Qings eyes lit up. He immediately stood up and left the Sword Holding Palace, heading straight for the Yao Residence.
On the way, he saw that the streets of the county capital were bustling with activity. The smiles on everyones faces were clearly much more than before.
The plain pills they had eaten in the past were actually no longer poisonous. On this point, Marquis Yao and his master had gathered all the alchemy masters in Fenghai County and carefully studied them.
They announced that it was non-poisonous.
However, people were still suspicious because it was closely related to their well being. Hence, Marquis Yao suggested using harmless pills to resolve it.
Hence, there was a medicinal pill known as harmonizing that was provided to the human race in the county capital for free.
The effect of this pill was to strengthen the body.
In the end, everyone was happy.
This matter also taught Xu Qing a lesson, allowing his understanding of human nature to deepen a little.
However, no matter what, the process and outcome were good. Hence, Xu Qing composed himself and arrived at the Yao Residence.
The entire Yao Residence attached great importance to welcoming Xu Qing. Those clansmen who had been released from the Prison Department already knew that it was because of Xu Qings words that everyone was spared from death.
Hence, the moment Xu Qing arrived at the Yao Residence, the members of the Yao family behaved extremely respectfully. There was gratitude in their eyes as they bowed in unison outside the gate.
Welcome, Edict Bearer Xu.
The crowd was filled with the old, young, women, and children. Yao Yunhui and Yao Feihe were among them.
The formers expression was complicated. Her originally charming face was now filled with haggardness. Her once curvy body had also lost a lot of weight now. However, not only did her beauty not decrease, but because of this weakness, it also made one feel pity for her.
