Chapter 59 Senior Brother, I'm Coming In
Tian Fengyu, with the curious innocence of a child, acted as if he knew nothing of such a big matter, asking for a detailed explanation. Ji Xiang chuckled.
"These things are rare, so the investigation is strict. I'll just say, those who understand, understand. If Senior Brother doesn't understand, I, as a junior brother, can't explain too much. Don't ask me what's going on, the implications are too great. Saying it won't do either of us any good. The Yellow Turban Teachings' waters run deep. You'll have a hard time finding detailed information yourself; relevant personnel have all been eliminated."
"Senior Brother just needs to understand in his heart. The evil god has already been captured and killed by the Heavenly Generals. So, if there really are remnants of the Yellow Turban Teachings, Senior Brother must keep his eyes wide open and not be deceived by these villains!"
"As a Daoist official, you can't go against the Embroidered Uniform Guards, let alone the Emperor!"
Tian Fengyu put on a look of fear, "How dare this humble official! There are indeed no Yellow Turban followers in this temple!"
Tian Fengyu solemnly assured Ji Xiang that although he was a Scarlet Robe, he was just a sesame seed official of the ninth rank. He wouldn't even dare to think about such a major disaster as protecting Yellow Turban followers, let alone do it!
Bluffing also requires strength!
A Daoist Registrar of Green Robe is more powerful than this red robe on his body!
Seeing the humble face of the person before him, Ji Xiang felt a little pity.
If the divine tablet hadn't given the "Killable" option just now, Ji Xiang might have actually comforted him with kind words. But now, sorry, the divine tablet says killable. Although you haven't attacked me, in my eyes, for some unknown reason, your health bar has lit up.
Ji Xiang responded perfunctorily, "Senior Brother doesn't need to panic. The Embroidered Uniform Guards are investigating. If no problems are found, naturally there's nothing to worry about. Still, those words, Senior Brother must keep his eyes open these days and keep a close watch on the entering and exiting worshippers."
"In the future, if Senior Brother is in the capital and there is anything I can help with, I will naturally help if I can, but it cannot violate the laws and morals of the Great Ming Dynasty, and Senior Brother himself must also diligently improve his cultivation."
Ji Xiang said this in words, but in fact, he was about to leave the capital and run away. Besides, Lao Zhang was coming. Even if Tian Fengyu himself had no problems, it wouldn't be his turn to help.
Tian Fengyu nodded obsequiously, "Then Senior Brother will thank Junior Brother in advance."
Ji Xiang's gaze moved over Tian Fengyu's body, "I see that Senior Brother's cultivation is at the fourth realm, Fetal Breath, but has he condensed the Lead Flower (qianhua) yet?"
Tian Fengyu quickly said, "Not yet! My natural endowments are not good. Although I have entered Fetal Breath, I am always a little short of condensing the full prosperity of the body. Within my body, the circulation of Qi is often not smooth."
"I know that this may be because my foundation in the first three realms was not solid, coupled with my own lack of talent, so it is like this. When I drew fire in the past, it was just a small flame. The fire could not cover the whole body, and it burned intermittently for a year before it was considered complete...."
"Until recently, I have gained a little...."
On Tian Fengyu's face, he maintained a look of joy, as if he was truly happy for himself to be able to go further.
Ji Xiang continued:
"Senior Brother, the situation of condensing glory depends on the difference in the speed of primordial Qi absorption and release during personal cultivation, as well as the changes when locking Qi in the body."
"For your situation, it is easy to handle. Why don't I use the 'Qi Transfer Technique' (Duqi shu) to transfer my own primordial Qi to you?"
"The body's own aptitude is too low. When absorbing external primordial Qi, it is like a small sluice gate that cannot swallow a large flood. The flow rate is too low. Senior Brother said that he recently made some progress in cultivation, presumably the condensing of glory is slow, but after accumulating over time, he has finally achieved something. At this time, it is necessary to emphasize locking Qi, and not allow any leakage of one's own Qi."
Ji Xiang said, "I will use my primordial Qi to help Senior Brother condense glory, this is Qi Transfer. The opening of the sluice gate is that big, and the flow is only that much. But Qi Transfer is like standing on top of the sluice gate, drawing in another stream of water, which does not need to go through the sluice gate and is directly poured in."
"I wonder if Senior Brother will allow me to transfer Qi to help Senior Brother?"
What Ji Xiang said was Qi Transfer, but in fact, once the other party accepted his primordial Qi, Ji Xiang would be able to know if there was anything wrong in the other party's body, and he should also be able to know why the divine tablet was coding.
Ji Xiang thought of things like A-Lian, which replaced the seven souls of the human body. When they were not active, no abnormalities could be seen at all, and the power of the state was useless. Since the sprites under the Fire Lord could gain this ability after the Wanli Emperor's consecration ceremony, then the East Mountain Temple, which had a higher consecration specification than the Fire God Temple....
Could there be a god who can perform the art of "body snatching"!
Ji Xiang thought to himself, if the other party had a guilty conscience, he should refuse. If he didn't have a guilty conscience, the first sentence should be something like "How could I possibly." This is the standard polite remark.
At this time, Tian Fengyu did smile slightly and decline Ji Xiang:
"Junior Brother, this method is not very good. Senior Brother must consider it for you. Qi Transfer will consume your primordial Qi...."
Ji Xiang smiled generously:
"It's okay, I have quite a lot of primordial Qi."
After Ji Xiang finished speaking, he didn't give him a chance to talk back, and had already reached out to grab his wrist, and then operated his magic power to transfer primordial Qi into the other party's body!
Senior Brother, I'm coming in!
Tian Fengyu's gaze moved down sharply, and his body stiffened slightly at this time. He suddenly pulled his hand away, and Ji Xiang's palm grabbed empty, which shocked Ji Xiang!
His power, even at the third realm, could compete with Song Wuji, and both hands could press Zao Wang Qian Guang on the ground and unable to get up. This fourth realm Senior Brother in front of him, who hadn't even condensed Ronghua, was able to break free from his grasp!
Ji Xiang smiled slightly, "Senior Brother's hand just now, the strength is so great?"
"This is not a characteristic that people with poor natural endowments would show. Only people with excellent natural endowments and abundant primordial Qi have such great strength."
For a time, the two looked at each other, and the strange situation also made the Wanli Emperor and the others stretch their necks.
However, they did not immediately come over to stop them, but watched with peripheral vision. For a time, the scene was a bit quiet.
Tian Fengyu turned into a look of panic:
"Performing Qi Transfer after the fourth realm will consume a certain amount of the Qi Transferred's essence, Qi, and spirit foundation. You need to know that the first few cultivation realms must lay a solid foundation in order to have a great future."
"Senior Brother, I am already a useless person with no bright future, while Junior Brother has a great future! I should never trouble Junior Brother so much, so Senior Brother can absolutely not accept this Qi Transfer."
Ji Xiang then said forcefully:
"Then what if today, I must help Senior Brother this time?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the gazes of the Embroidered Uniform Guards around them also gathered in an instant. At this time, as long as Tian Fengyu said a wrong word, these heavenly soldiers would immediately draw their swords and ask him to surrender.
At this time, Tian Fengyu was facing the threshold, as if merging into the little darkness that remained. His eyes were only on Ji Xiang, and his expression was strange at this time. At first, his mouth had no expression, even a little unpleasant, but soon, he seemed to have thought of something, and the corners of his mouth turned up to make a smiling expression.
"Junior Brother's 'body' is so strong.... Senior Brother, I used a lot of effort to pull my hand out just now."
The morning bell rang several times, and the sky gradually brightened.
"So that's how it is. Junior Brother doesn't actually want to transfer Qi to help Senior Brother, but is still suspicious of Senior Brother."
Tian Fengyu put on a helpless expression. This time, he reached out to Ji Xiang and said, "If Junior Brother really doesn't trust Senior Brother, you can just say it directly, why bother going around in circles."
"I have never had any relationship with the Yellow Turban Teachings. If you are not at ease, you can operate your magic Qi and check all over my body."
"By the way, Junior Brother, what's your name?"
Ji Xiang also showed a trace of a smile, took a step forward, and clasped the other party's wrist. This time he grabbed it tightly:
"The Three Unifications rotate, there is going and coming, the people must have a master, can I know your name?"
Tian Fengyu's expression suddenly froze, and looking at Ji Xiang again, he turned out to be so hateful!
