Chapter 475: Increasing Output
It's cold outside.

Cheng Jiao gently stroked Tian Mi's soft waist, which was as smooth as a snow snake.

Thin, soft and very comfortable.

"Are you going back to Xianyang with me now, or are you going to wait until the snow is over before coming to Xianyang?"

Tian Mi blinked her tender eyes.

If she wanted to secretly compete with Qingnuo for the title of the leader of the heroes, it would be best for her to stay.

After all, if you want to be a hero, you must first become the leader of a hall.

And she chose Kuiwei Hall in order to seize the position of the head of Kuiwei Hall.

However, she is not so eager for the position of the leader of the heroes now.

Cheng Jiao would not abandon her just because she didn't become the leader of the heroes.

Instead of trying so hard to obtain a useless position as the leader of the heroes, it is better to stay close to Cheng Jiao. Maybe you can learn his godly skills.

Having said that, with Cheng Jiao's current strength and ability, it would only take a few words to make her the leader of the heroes.

Why bother fighting with Qingnuo openly and secretly? It would be better to find a way to train Qingnuo and let Chengjiao have some fun and please him.

"If you don't mind me, I will go with you. Just like my sister Meng Jiang, I will be your slave."

Tian Mi gathered her messy hair, looked at Meng Jiang who was sleeping, and said with a chuckle.

Since she has made up her mind to win favor from Cheng Jiao, of course she has to win over a few more sisters.

It would be best to pull Meng Jiang and Qing Nuo to her side, let them advance and retreat with her, strengthen her own strength, so that she can eat more good things given by Cheng Jiao.

Cheng Jiao nodded when he heard this. It didn’t matter to him whether Tian Mi stayed or left.

After taking a look at Meng Jiang who was sleeping soundly, Cheng Jiao placed his hand on her lower abdomen.

Meng Jiang has almost no foundation for cultivation, so it would be very difficult for him to start practicing.

Cheng Jiao planned to try the method of cleansing the marrow and strengthening the tendons mentioned in the exercises to change Meng Jiang's physique.

With his strength, he can perform it easily now.

If there is a disadvantage, it is that it consumes a lot of spiritual energy.

Tian Mi looked at Meng Jiang, who was sleeping soundly, with some envy. She was actually able to receive martial arts from the young master.

But after a while, she could feel that the power in Meng Jiang's body was no less than hers.

As long as you control it, you can become a second-rate master.

Cheng Jiao slowly withdrew his hand from Meng Jiang's flexible belly.

With a wave of his hand, he threw all the impurities discharged from Meng Jiang's body out of the house.

His soul perception was always on Meng Jiang, and he was very impressed by the marrow cleansing and muscle strengthening techniques in the martial arts.

As long as spiritual energy is consumed, a person's physique can be changed to become suitable for cultivation.

Although she is not as talented as Gai, Nie and Jing Ke, she is far better than Tian Mi.

Cheng Jiao glanced at the sky which was faintly glowing but still dark.

"It's time to go."

……

Nian Duan brought Niang Rong and Duan Mu Rong to the parking place of the Mechanical Suzaku, and happened to see Cheng Jiao chatting with Tian Mi and Meng Jiang.

"Who are these two?"

Nian Duan was a little confused. How come in just one day and one night, there were two more women around Cheng Jiao? Not only were they as pretty as her, but their invincible youth was incomparable to her.

Niang Rong was very surprised. Who were these two women? She had never seen them before.

Duanmu Rong looked at Niang Rong and saw that Niang Rong was also confused, with a look of bewilderment in her eyes.

"She is Tian Mi, a disciple of the Nong family's Kuiwei Hall. Before in Xianyang, Tian Guangxia Kui gave her to me so that we could keep in touch. As for her..."

Cheng Jiao coughed lightly and said, "Her name is Meng Jiang. I picked her up on the road."

Meng Jiang said shyly: "Meng Jiang greets Master Nian Duan. I am your maid now."

She already had some understanding of the women around Cheng Jiao from Tian Mi. After Cheng Jiao and Tian Mi's multiple educations last night, she was able to adapt to her new identity with ease.

Tian Mi smiled softly: "I am Tian Mi, and I have to thank you for taking me in."

With her woman's intuition, she vaguely felt that the relationship between Cheng Jiao and Nian Duan was unusual.

Tian Mi felt relieved when she thought that Cheng Jiao might have hooked up with the head of the medical family.

Fortunately, I chose to leave with Cheng Jiao, instead of being stupid enough to stay and plot for the position of hall master and compete with Qing Nuo for the useless position of chivalrous hero.

Didn’t you see that even the head of the medical family has become the young master’s man?

Nian Duan nodded slightly. She knew that Cheng Jiao had many women. For someone in Cheng Jiao's position, it was normal for someone to give him a woman as a gift.

The six-fingered black warrior hurried over, carrying dozens of kilograms of seeds, "Let's set off quickly. In a few hours, the mountain will be closed by winter snow."

If there is a snowstorm, if you want to go to Yan State, you have to wait until the snow stops.

When Tian Mi and Meng Jiang appeared on the Mechanical Suzaku, Cheng Jiao clearly noticed that the speed of the Mechanical Suzaku had slowed down a bit.

Seeing Nian Duan Niang Rong, Duan Mu Rong, Meng Jiang, Tian Mi and other girls chatting, Cheng Jiao simply sat down and studied the sword-wielding technique.

If I had mastered the sword-wielding technique earlier, why would I need to sit on the Suzaku? I could have flown with the sword long ago and traveled thousands of miles in a thought.

Unfortunately, the bridge between heaven and earth had not been opened at that time, and the soul power could not meet the requirements for flying with a sword, so he could only fly short distances.

Although the farmers in Daze Mountain were not far from the King of Yan, the weather was extremely cold and snowflakes were falling from the sky before they even entered the State of Yan.

The six-fingered black hero said in a deep voice: "Everyone hold on tight!"

He could see that this blizzard would affect the entire north, so he had to use all his internal energy to speed up his progress.

Cheng Jiao sensed that the Six-Fingered Black Knight's aura was fluctuating rapidly and his internal energy was being consumed quickly.

The speed of the mechanical Suzaku increased by twice, and the strong wind that it could adapt to became fierce. Coupled with the severe cold, it was like an ice knife, cutting people.

Cheng Jiao lightly made a gesture, and an energy barrier appeared outside the crowd, blocking out the biting cold wind.

"Master, let me do it."

Seeing that the Six-Fingered Black Knight had to control the Suzaku mechanism while providing internal energy for it, and that a big gangster like him was in such a mess, Cheng Jiao stepped forward.

The most important thing is, at Liuzhi’s current speed, he would probably have to face heavy snow before he reaches Yanwangdu.

The Six-Fingered Black Knight was not polite. He knew that it would be difficult for him to arrive before the heavy snow.

Cheng Jiao slowly transferred his spiritual power into the mechanical Suzaku.

The speed of the Mechanical Suzaku soared again, increasing by three times.

The Six-Fingered Black Knight was so shocked that he was dumbfounded. He didn't expect Cheng Jiao to be so willing to use spiritual power to travel.

Thinking back to the time when Cheng Jiao directly gave Nian Duan five soul-restoring pills that contained spiritual power, the Six-Fingered Black Knight looked at Cheng Jiao with great envy.

Cheng Jiao provided spiritual power to the mechanical Suzaku and accidentally discovered something very interesting.

The star fragments within the Suzaku mechanism could actually absorb his spiritual power and store it inside, as if they had spirituality.

Moreover, the limits of this Mechanical Suzaku seemed to have no end. He could feel that if he increased the output of spiritual power, he could increase the speed of the Mechanical Suzaku by one or two times.

With this thought in mind, Cheng Jiao decisively increased his output, causing the speed of the Suzaku mechanism to increase again.

The Six-Fingered Black Knight had to put aside his distracting thoughts and control the Suzaku mechanism so that it would not get out of control.

Cheng Jiao glanced at the six-fingered black warrior who was concentrating on operating the mechanical Suzaku, and continued to sense the star fragments, and found that they were still the same. After thinking about it, he suppressed the urge to dismantle the mechanical Suzaku and take out the star fragments for research.

There is a long time to come, so I will wait until I have collected all the bronze treasure boxes of the Blue Dragon and the Seven Stars first.

……

The capital of King Yan, the Prince’s Palace.

Yan Dan, with a somewhat bleak face, saw the Mechanical Suzaku coming and showed a smile that he had not seen for a long time.

But before he could laugh for long, he saw Cheng Jiao and several beauties behind him.

His face became a little gloomy.

After Ying Zheng's publicity, everyone in the world now knows that Cheng Jiao's ingenious plan has united Qin and Zhao and captured thirty cities of Yan.

And he is the connecting character in the ingenious plan to unite Qin and Zhao.

Cheng Jiao sent him back to the State of Yan, and it turned out that he had no good intentions.

The most crucial thing is that before he had time to organize people to help Zhao Jia, who was held hostage in Qin State, escape, he received news that King Yan of Zhao had died of illness, Zhao Qian had quickly succeeded to the throne, and Li Mu had mysteriously disappeared.

In addition, not long after, the King of Chu also died of illness, and Cheng Jiao was still present.

Although the rumor was that the head of the Medical Family was harboring evil intentions to harm the King of Chu, as a disciple of the Six-Fingered Black Knight, he knew very well what kind of person the head of the Medical Family, Nian Duan, was. Even if the King of Chu was Nian Duan's enemy, at most he would not save him, but he would never do such a thing.

Somehow, he placed his suspicion on Cheng Jiao.

It's all just a coincidence.

In Zhao, the King of Zhao died; in Chu, the King of Chu died.

For no reason, Yan Dan had a little hope. If his father died now, he would still be the crown prince and in the capital of Yan, and could directly succeed to the throne.

Even Wang Shuyan and Chunjun couldn't stop it.

When Yan Dan thought about how Yan Chunjun had been whispering to his father about appointing another crown prince, he felt extremely gloomy and wanted to send an assassin to kill Yan Chunjun immediately.

……

Although Yan Dan had a lot of dissatisfaction with Cheng Jiao, he still treated Cheng Jiao to a banquet very politely.

Cheng Jiao smiled and said, "Brother Yan, you don't have to be so polite. It was the master who asked me to help you return to Yan State. If you want to be grateful, you should be grateful to the master."

The six-fingered black knight shook his head slightly under his hood. How could he not know what happened after Yan Dan left Qin?

I'm afraid this disciple of his has cursed Cheng Jiao countless times in his heart.

Yan Dan clenched his fists under his sleeves. If Cheng Jiao hadn't hit him like this, he would have been in danger of losing his position as crown prince.

Fortunately, his teacher has arrived. Relying on the influence of the Mohist master, he can help him consolidate his position as crown prince.

So that he wouldn't be killed by the good-for-nothing Uncle Wang.

"Haha, Chang'an Jun is joking. Come on, continue drinking."

Yan Dan used drinking to cover up his embarrassment.

Cheng Jiao just felt a little bored and wanted to see Yan Dan get furious, but this guy was very cunning and didn't fall for his trick at all.

"It's late at night, I'm going to leave now."

Yan Dan did not try to persuade him to stay, as he still had some things he wanted to discuss with the master.

In addition, he was very unhappy with Cheng Jiao, but there was nothing he could do about him, so he simply ordered his servants to take Cheng Jiao to the guest room.

……

After arriving at the guest room, Cheng Jiao waited for a while and quietly entered Nian Duan's room.

Niang Rong and Duan Mu Rong in the room were shocked, and Nian Duan was extremely nervous.

Cheng Jiao laughed and said, "What are you afraid of? Can I eat you?"

Nian Duan calmed himself down and handed a cup of tea to Cheng Jiao.

"Master, is there something wrong?"

Cheng Jiao nodded slightly: "I am going to get something from the Yan Palace. Yan Dan is watching here now, please help me take care of them."

"Okay." Nian Duan agreed directly. Maybe she would live with Tian Mi and Meng Jiang in the future, so she didn't have any concerns.

Duanmu Rong looked at her teacher with some confusion, as if something was wrong with her.

It seems that my teacher is a bit...obedient to me?
After Cheng Jiao gave Nian Duan instructions, he quickly left the house and disappeared in the heavy snow.

It was only a little over an hour away from reaching the capital of Yan. At this time, the capital was already covered in a thick layer of snow. Even the patrolling city guards were extremely rare on the streets.

Compared with the other six countries, the Palace of Yan seems a little small, but it is the most solidly made among the seven countries, and the walls of the palace are very thick.

I went to the Yan royal family ancestral hall first. There were only a few imperial guards and eunuchs outside, hunching over to keep warm and guarding numbly. The inside was empty, without any light at all.

Cheng Jiao walked up to the tablets and portraits of all the successive Kings of Yan and took a quick look at them.

I didn't expect that the bronze treasure box would be placed next to it as a decoration.

Among the seven countries, Yan was the least concerned.

If it could be opened, I might have used it as an urn.

After putting away the bronze treasure box, Cheng Jiao chose to leave directly.

Being outside on a snowy day was extremely depressing. Even though he was immune to cold and heat, he didn't want to stay outside for long.

Is it that the honey pot doesn’t taste good, or is it that Nian Duan’s quilt isn’t warm enough?

On Cheng Jiao's way back to the Prince's Mansion, Yan Dan was looking at the Six-Fingered Black Knight with a solemn expression.

"Teacher, are you sure Cheng Jiao is really a celestial being?"

Before he left Xianyang, he met Cheng Jiao once. Although Cheng Jiao was stronger than him, he was sure that Cheng Jiao's strength should still be among the best.

The Six-Fingered Black Knight thought about it.

He could sense that Yan Dan was still resentful towards Cheng Jiao because of the Qin and Zhao attacks on Yan. In order to let Yan Dan give up the idea of ​​being an enemy of Cheng Jiao, he nodded slightly.

"That's right. The head of the medical family, Master Nian Duan, is at the celestial realm. She bluntly said that Cheng Jiao is a celestial being. How could she be lying? Moreover, Cheng Jiao's strength is not as simple as that of an ordinary celestial being."

Yan Dan was somewhat envious and jealous of Cheng Jiao's talent and luck.

Suddenly, an idea occurred to him, "Teacher, what is Cheng Jiao doing in Yan State?"

The Six-Fingered Black Knight paused and said, "He originally went with me to a farmer's house to see the good seeds cultivated by Tian Guang Xia Kui. As the mountains were about to be closed due to heavy snow, he followed me to Yan State. As for what he came to Yan State..." The Six-Fingered Black Knight shook his head. He had no interest in other people's privacy. If Cheng Jiao didn't say anything, he certainly wouldn't ask.

Yan Dan's eyes narrowed slightly.

"Teacher, do you think Cheng Jiao is collecting bronze treasure boxes related to the Seven Stars of the Azure Dragon?"

The six-fingered black hero was slightly startled, "Why do you say that?"

Yan Dan said slowly, "Ever since Cheng Jiao left Xianyang, I have been keeping an eye on his intelligence. Especially after Qin and Zhao attacked Yan, I have been keeping an eye on him. Just now, the teacher said that Cheng Jiao is already a celestial being. So, do you still remember the story about Cheng Jiao that went viral in the martial arts world?"

The six-fingered black knight looked at the gloomy night and the biting cold wind outside the hall.

"Hasn't that matter been clarified? It was a rumor spread by Korean Night? It seems that Cheng Jiao did not get the Blue Dragon Seven Stars."

"But it is very likely that he has learned some secrets about the Blue Dragon and the Seven Stars, and even obtained some of their power. Does the teacher also believe that a man who has not yet been crowned has already achieved the status of a celestial being, or even is stronger than a celestial being?"

The six-fingered black hero remained silent.

Yan Dan continued, "I have been keeping an eye on Cheng Jiao. Interestingly, after leaving Xianyang, Cheng Jiao passed through Han, Wei, Zhao, Wei, Chu, Qi, and our Yan. Is this also a coincidence?"

The Six-Fingered Black Knight suddenly remembered something. The woman named Meng Jiang beside Cheng Jiao seemed to be brought back by Cheng Jiao from Linzi, the capital of King Qi.
