Chapter 218 Lingxiu takes a bath, practices fire energy, the princess and the noble lady. (6K)

"Zhao Xing, what treasure is underneath?" Long Xiao asked, "Why do I feel my blood boiling and my mouth dry?"

"I can't wait to jump down." Xia Jing took a deep breath, "Why is it so attractive to me?"

Although Ji Ziyun and Chen Shijie didn't say anything, their expressions betrayed their inner thoughts and it was obvious that they felt the same way.

However, the four of them all have very high military qualities.

When traveling in groups, they are formed into groups based on the purpose of carrying out military duties.

Zhao Xing was the team leader. Without his orders, the four men endured and did not take any action.

"The heaven and earth are full of spiritual beauty, and the fire element is born in the water. It is really a wonderful sight." Zhao Xing couldn't help but praise, "According to the Five Elements Feng Shui, this is the spiritual beauty of the fire element."

"The spirit of destiny is divided into five elements?" Long Xiao scratched his head.

"I also know a little about Feng Shui and destiny." Ji Ziyun said, "The innate destiny is divided into five elements, and the twelve heavenly stems and earthly branches are divided into years of destiny."

"Fire governs Wu and Gui. Those whose luck is strong in the fire element will have great luck in the years of Wu and Gui."

Zhao Xing nodded and said, "Brother Ji is indeed a prince, you are well-educated and talented."

Xia Jing pulled his nose: "What do you mean, I am just a decoration, right?"

"Hahaha." Ji Ziyun and Zhao Xing laughed together.

"But I don't know what the book 'Five Elements Feng Shui Luck' is."

"A miscellaneous book." Zhao Xing said casually.

In fact, this is a volume in the "Dayan Sutra".

After the luck level reaches the fourth level, the practitioner's perception of luck gradually strengthens.

If one practices the Great Derivations or similar secret texts, one does not have to reach the second-grade Heavenly Luck Realm to be able to sense the rise and fall of luck to a certain extent.

At the same time, the division of qiyun is more detailed as to where qiyun should be located.

The Great Derivation Sutra mentions, "The air is red and green, and the purple light is dotted (the fourth level of Derivation). You can seek the fortune of the five elements of heaven and earth, or seek the spiritual beauty of heaven and earth, or famous mountains and swamps, or bury your ancestors in a Feng Shui treasure land."

This means that when you reach the fourth level, you can actively look for ways to increase your luck according to the Five Elements, which will make it easier to get promoted.

When Zhao Xing was promoted, he had the urge to refine the 'Golden Dragon of Luck'. To implement it, he needed an extremely advanced 'Qi training technique'.

Like the Donghu Lingshan in Gucheng before, that kind of absorbing luck without any preparation is only suitable for low-level luck. Not only is it a waste, it is also not suitable for improving high-level luck.

"You guys are explaining it too complicatedly. I don't really understand." Long Xiao scratched his head and said, "Zhao Xing, just tell me directly, how can I get the benefits?"

"Simple." Zhao Xing smiled and said, "Go take a bath."

"Ah?" Long Xiao, Chen Shijie, and Xia Jing were all stunned for a moment, "Lingxiu taking a bath?"

"Yes, it is to take a bath in Lingxiu Hot Spring." Zhao Xing looked at the valley below. "There are many hot springs in the valley. Let's go down and take a bath in one. The five elements of fire will naturally increase."

Long Xiao, Chen Shijie, and Xia Jing all don't know how to refine their luck. Zhao Xing doesn't know whether Ji Zijun can do it or not.

He himself knew a little bit about it. There was a chapter in the Dayan Sutra called the Art of Transforming the Five Elements.

Zhao Xing could only go down and give it a try. The secret book of destiny was too profound. Even though he had practiced the Dayan Qi-gazing Technique to the intermediate perfection level and opened his third eye, he was not sure of success.

Not to mention passing it on to Lao Chen and the others to practice.

"Cousin, you guys should be careful when you go into the spring." Ji Ziyun reminded, "The five elements of fire will have some influence on people. So you can take a bath, but you must not practice in it, lest you go astray."

Zhao Xing slapped his head, he almost forgot this: "Brother Ji is really thoughtful, I almost forgot to remind you... Brother Ji is right, if you see any illusions, don't pay attention to them."

"Unless Brother Ji and I come to pull you out."

"I understand. I won't move." Long Xiao rubbed his hands.

"Go down."

At Zhao Xing's command, the Qilin flying boat carrying five people landed in the valley.

After getting off the flying boat, Long Xiao hesitated to speak: "That..."

Zhao Xing asked, "What's wrong?"

"Should we take it down to wash it, too?"

Long Xiao pointed at Aotian Miao.

Zhao Xing laughed and said, "You really treat the mountain cat as your son. You want to share this good thing with it?"

"Sure, of course. Just keep it under control and don't let it run around. There are plenty of hot springs here."

The beautiful hot springs here are one of the greater opportunities in the Daofeng Mountains.

Literally big.

Even if dozens of people come to take a bath, it will be fine, because one person cannot absorb so much fire luck in a short period of time.

"Okay, I promise to take good care of it." Long Xiao happily hugged Aotian Miao and left.

"Why don't you give the mountain cat to Long Xiao?" Xia Jing said, looking at Long Xiao's back, "I find that he really loves this cat."

"It's not impossible."

To Zhao Xing, pets are just pets. He can raise them to pass the time when he is bored. He will never raise a pet as his son like Long Xiao does.

The Dragon has a relatively simple nature and is suitable to be kept as a pet. A bobcat is a good home for the Dragon.

I will go back to Gucheng one day, go to Donghu Mountain again, ask the mountain god to cancel the master-servant contract, and then give it to Long Xiao.

This was just a small matter and Zhao Xing did not take it seriously. He flew around the valley and then chose a small hot spring to test the water first.

"Old Chen, are you going to do it or should I?"

"Come on, your Five Elements Mist Hidden is suitable."

"it is good."

Zhao Xing pointed his hand toward the sky, and the Five Elements Mist Hidden was activated.

This valley was hidden from the map by the Mist Hiding Technique.

If someone passes by, unless they can see through the high-level Five Elements Mist, they will not be able to discover this treasure land at all.

"Done, time to take a shower."

Zhao Xing took off his clothes and jumped in.

"Puff~"

It was clearly a hot spring that he jumped into, but sparks flew.

The sparks were warm, with the texture of water, yet they were burning.

"It was just warm, but I felt restless and even lustful."

"This is the side effect of absorbing fire luck." Zhao Xing evaluated.

But then the jade pendant in his arms began to emit a cool feeling, dispelling all the discomfort.

"Dragon Soul Jade Pendant." Zhao Xing took out the Dragon Soul Jade Pendant.

The sixth-rank dragon soul jade pendant was specially provided for the royal family. Carrying it close to the body for a long time can continuously strengthen the soul, ward off evil spirits and avoid delusions, and greatly reduce the chance of becoming possessed.

The soul armor is also level six, but it is purely defensive in nature, the dragon soul jade pendant is more auxiliary, and the soul armor focuses on defense.

Mr. Zhao didn't even have any hallucinations. Without these side effects, he really felt like he was taking a hot spring bath.

Lying in the hot spring, Zhao Xing fell asleep.

Recalling the Five Elements and Wind and Cloud Movement in the Great Derivations, as well as the 'Fire Movement Qi Training Method' included in it, he tried to actively absorb the spiritual beauty of Fire Movement.

"Heaven's destiny is my destiny, Heaven's fate is my fate..." Zhao Xing muttered as if he was asleep.

Soon he entered into a state of meditation in his dream.

"Gulong~"

A quarter of an hour later, the 'flame' in the hot spring began to flow in an orderly manner from disorderly flow, and flowed towards the corner where Zhao Xing was.

After touching Zhao Xing's body.

"Pfft~"

The flames passed through the body as if they had no substance.

But if you look closely, you can notice that the brightness of the flame is a little weaker.

Practice in your dream for a quarter of an hour, try the 'Fire Qigong Method', and you will see initial results!
Half an hour later, the speed of the flame in the water suddenly increased.

Rushing towards Zhao Xing quickly.

The weakness is almost visible to the naked eye.

An hour later, this small hot spring with a diameter of five meters became extremely clear, the flames in the water disappeared completely, and the water gradually cooled down.

The change in water temperature woke Zhao Xing up from his dream.

Observing the five elements and judging the time, Zhao Xing found that he had slept for an hour and also noticed the changes in the hot spring.

"Not bad, not bad, the effect is really good." Zhao Xing climbed out of the cool pool water, "I heard that the Lihuo Taoist Temple has a 'Nine Purple Lihuo Movement'. If I can get it, it will be more powerful than the 'Fire Movement Qi Training Method' in the Dayan Sutra. I must go there someday."

The predecessor of Lihuo Taoist Academy, Lihuo Sect, was also one of the ten great ancient divine sects, and was on the same level as Mengshen Sect (Nightmare Sect).

The 'Fire Qi Training Method' given in the Dayan Sutra is just mediocre. It mentions the 'Nine Purple Fire Qi Training' of the Lihuo Sect, which is the top-level Qi training method.

"Nine Purples are separated from the Fire Luck. Simply by absorbing the Fire Luck, the pillar of Luck can be turned purple, and it can also help to improve one's cultivation. In the years of Wu and Gui, great luck will surely come."

"The Great Evolution Sutra once said that whenever the Lihuo Sect encounters a war, they must choose the 'Wu Year' or the Gui Year to go out or withdraw their troops."

"When disciples fight, they also choose the right time. The Great Evolution Sutra once said that if you encounter someone from the Lihuo Sect, don't fight them in the Wu month, Wu day, Wu year, Gui month, Gui day, Gui year."

This is not just a rumor, but a true fact. All the sorcerers who came out of Lihuo Taoist Temple in the previous life had a "time BUFF" on them.

In Zhao Xing's previous life, he once met a man with the 'Wuxu Hour BUFF'.

At the hour of Xu, this person's combat effectiveness increased by 30-100%!

This is similar to the "dog gambling strategy".

Those who practiced "Nine Purple Fire Movement" and received its true teachings not only had their combat effectiveness greatly enhanced, but also saw miraculous phenomena occur at certain times.

If the enemies are equally strong, their meridians will suddenly become disrupted during the fight, and those with a lower level may simply go crazy and explode to death, which is quite exaggerated.

If the enemy is at a high level, when being chased, inexplicable things will always happen to help the disciples of Lihuo Sect escape, and they cannot be killed no matter what.

“However, the Nine Purple Fire Luck also has its flaws. If you encounter someone from the Green Water Academy, such as Princess Youruo, who practices the Six Tribulations Green Water Luck, then they will become enemies of each other.”

"In the years of Bing and Xin, the water element rules. Both Bing and Xin years are good years for disciples of the Green Water Sect."

Because of the existence of the mechanism of "establishing a great aspiration", gods from all walks of life come to grab the "hour" to show their existence.

But there are only twelve hours, how can there be enough space for so many gods?
Therefore, in ancient times, many sects were defeated.

Of course, things are different now, but Princess Youruo would inherently feel disgusted when she met people from Lihuo Taoist Academy.

"This woman Murong Qing is so disgusting! She's already married, yet she still comes to mess with you! Liu Lang, I'll kill her for you!"

In the Wanfa Palace, Princess Youruo rose from the bed with murderous intent, because she had just learned that Murong Qing from Yuanhe County, Daoyuan Continent, had just been to the Wanfa Palace.

"Stop!" Liu Tianning stood in front of her. "She just stopped by to visit. How did she offend you?"

"You yelled at me?" Princess Youruo bit her lip. "You actually yelled at me for this bitch? You still have her in your heart, don't you?"

"What are you talking about? She's already married. I've known her since childhood. Is it possible that just meeting her once..."

Before he could finish his words, the clone was split into two halves by Princess Youruo.

Another clone of Liu Tianning appeared in front of her.

"Get away!"

Princess Youruo chopped off the clone again.

"Bang bang bang bang bang bang!" No one knew how many clones were split, but Princess Youruo couldn't even walk out of the entrance. There was no way, Liu Tianning had too many clones!
She wasn't even out yet, but she was already exhausted and out of breath.

Liu Tianning didn't say anything and let her chop him.

It was not until Princess Youruo calmed down that his true form appeared: "Are you happy?"

"Hmph." Princess Youruo turned around and sat back on the bed.

"I said, she just came to ask for a spot as an explorer."

"Just do your job, why do you have to come to the Wanfa Palace?" Princess Youruo said, "Didn't you accept a disciple? Just let him run errands for such trivial matters. If you can't even train a disciple, then I will teach him for you!"

Liu Tianning frowned and looked cold: "Why do I need you to teach me how to do things? Youruo, I warn you, don't try to take advantage of my apprentice."

When Princess Youruo saw Liu Tianning's look, she knew that her lover was angry.

"Liu Lang, I was wrong..." Princess Youruo's expression quickly softened.

Liu Tianning remained unmoved and maintained a cold expression.

Princess Youruo came over with a smile, took Liu Tianning's hand, and leaned against him, "I said the wrong thing, I won't do this again, don't be angry..."

Liu Tianning shook her hand off: "Remember my words."

"Yes, I'll remember it." Princess Youruo looked seductively and moved closer, wanting to kiss Liu Tianning.

Unexpectedly, Liu Tianning just turned away and left.

Princess Youruo came up empty-handed, but she was not angry. She just looked at Liu Tianning's back with a dazed look in her eyes. The more Liu Tianning was like this, the more she liked him.

After a moment's pause, he chased after him, following Liu Tianning closely.

"Liu Lang, I also want a spot as an explorer."

Speaking of business, Liu Tianning no longer looked cold: "Who are you going to give it to?"

Youruo said: "My niece Ji Zixuan has also come to Shiyang Cave Heaven."

Liu Tianning: "Didn't King Tianyan give you three places?"

Youruo smiled and said, "No, I want yours. If Murong Qing wants it, then why can't I have it too?"

"..."

Unable to withstand Princess Youruo's pestering, Liu Tianning said, "Forget it, let her join in."

Zhao Xing was taking a hot spring bath when the floor mirror next to him suddenly vibrated.

He ignored it the first time, but it rang again a moment later.

Zhao Xing picked up the ground mirror and saw two new messages:

[Murongxue has joined the investigation team! Approver: Liu Tianning]

[Ji Zixuan has joined the investigation team! Approver: Liu Tianning]

He took a look at it and threw it aside.

Old Liu also released a few people in the past few days, but he didn't need to worry about it.

Unexpectedly, as soon as it was put down, the ground mirror started shaking again.

This time it was Liu Tianning who contacted him.

Zhao Xing didn't think much about it and answered the call directly.

"Om~"

A picture was projected above the hot spring.

Liu Tianning and Princess Youruo were in a garden pavilion in Wanfa Palace.

"Teacher, this... I didn't know the princess was here, I am sorry."

Zhao Xing didn't expect that Lao Liu was video chatting with him with his girlfriend, and he was shirtless.

Princess Youruo smiled and said, "It's okay, there's nothing to see."

Liu Tianning glared at her and the latter shrank her head.

"Please get dressed first. I have something to tell you."

Liu Tianning hung up the phone.

Zhao Xing quickly went ashore, tidied his clothes, and then dialed Liu Tianning's projection.

"Teacher, what's the matter?"

Liu Tianning asked, "Did you see the two people from the investigation team who just came in?"

"I saw it."

"These two are not familiar with the Ten Sun Cave Heaven, so you can lead them."

What?
Mr. Zhao was very reluctant, but he had to agree. Liu Tianning seldom told him to do anything, so these two people must be very important to him.

Maybe it’s his descendants.

"Yes, I have a straw man in Yangcheng. Teacher, tell me the address and I can go pick them up."

"No need." Liu Tianning said, "I'll let them go to Huailiu Courtyard to find you."

"Yes."

Princess Youruo asked curiously, "Zhao Xing, were you taking a hot spring bath just now? The flames flowed in the water, but did you find a treasure land?"

Zhao Xing said, "Princess, I was lucky enough to find a place that looks extraordinary, so I came to give it a try."

"It's better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early." Youruo smiled and said, "Do you have any extra space in your precious land? Let my niece take advantage of you."

Zhao Xing said with embarrassment: "Yes, there is, but there is a difference between men and women, I'm afraid it's not convenient..."

Princess Youruo sneered: "I didn't realize you were so conservative, totally different from your teacher... Haven't you ever participated in the Spring Festival?"

Zhao Xing was speechless.

The atmosphere in the Great Zhou Dynasty was open, especially in terms of men and women.

How open is it?

Just give an example.

The "Spring Festival" that Princess Youruo mentioned is a festival held during the Spring Equinox, and it is the grandest festival of the year.

In addition to worshiping heaven and earth, there are also community gods (land gods, and in some places, mountain, water, and other conceptual gods).

It also has an official function: providing a place for men and women to meet in secret.

During the reign of Emperor Taizu, the Spring Festival was even written into the Zhou Law: "During every Spring Festival, county-level government offices must check for unmarried people in their counties who have reached the age of 15 or 20, and organize them to participate in the Spring Festival. The government offices must provide venues, food, and entertainment facilities."

This rule was abolished in the late reign of Emperor Wen.

why?

Because it's too unrestrained.

During the Spring Festival, men and women go outings, fall in love with each other, and then meet in the wild!
During the reign of Emperor Wen, the population grew explosively, so the laws were abolished and no longer enforced, and the concept of etiquette gradually strengthened.

But many places still retained these traditions, especially the southern barbarian tribes who admired the Great Zhou Dynasty. They even copied the laws without changing a word, but changed the name of the festival to "Shenhe Festival".

Princess Youruo's words were tantamount to asking Zhao Xing: Wow, you are so conservative, are you still a virgin?

This made Mr. Zhao quite embarrassed.

Liu Tianning glanced at her and said, "Why are you talking about this?"

Princess Youruo covered her mouth and laughed.

Liu Tianning said sternly: "Zhao Xing, you can make your own arrangements. If it is inconvenient, you don't have to let them come here. You can wait for a few days."

"Yes. Disciple understands." Zhao Xing nodded.

Princess Youruo said again: "Zhao Xing, you must take good care of my niece and don't let her suffer any grievances. As for the other one, you can just be perfunctory."

"..."

After hanging up the phone, Zhao Xing closed his eyes helplessly and began to activate the straw man in the Huailiu Courtyard, waiting for the arrival of the two relatives.

I found Xia Jing, Chen Shijie, Long Xiao, and Ji Ziyun.

"Bad news!"

wow~
Long Xiao jumped up from the hot spring: "What's wrong? What's wrong?"

He was naked, and Zhao Xing took a look at him and found it so disgusting that he was worthy of being a warrior.

"Put on your clothes and have a meeting on the flying boat later."

Wait for everyone to arrive.

Zhao Xing said: "The teacher arranged two relatives for me to come here, and they are both women."

Long Xiao frowned and said, "Shiyang Cave is so big, why do these two relatives have to follow you?"

Chen Shijie glared and said, "You are also a relative, what qualifications do you have to speak?"

"What's the background?" Xia Jing asked.

"One is a princess named Ji Zixuan. I wonder if you recognize her, Brother Ji."

"The other one is Murong Xue, the daughter of the teacher's... um, old friend."

Xia Jing said: "Since it was arranged by your teacher, you can't refuse. Ji Zixuan... I don't have much impression. What about you, cousin?"

Ji Ziyun also shook his head: "The royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty has at least eight million if not tens of millions. How can I know everyone? I only know some of those with high status."

The "status" that Ji Ziyun mentioned refers to the four levels of imperial princesses: princess, county princess, princess consort, and princess.

There is no distinction between princesses and princesses in terms of seniority, only the bloodline of the royal family is distinguished.

The princess is of the most noble bloodline.

"In short, this is bad news." Zhao Xing said with a dull look, "My two princes, dealing with them will be left to you two."

"No problem." Xia Jing smiled and said, "My cousin is best at dealing with women. It won't be difficult to leave this to him."

Ji Ziyun glared and said, "How dare you slander someone's innocence? You make me sound like a playboy."

"Okay, I'll try to delay time." Zhao Xing said, "You guys go to the hot spring and absorb as much as possible. I can then place them here, leave a clone to guard them, and then the five of us can go somewhere else."

"A princess of the emperor and a noble, how come you treat them as if they were beggars?" Xia Jing said with a smile.

"If it were my cousin, he would probably be taking a bath together with the princess and the noble lady."

"Qilin'er, get out of here!" Ji Ziyun cursed.

"Ha ha ha ha."

While Feizhou was chatting, two beautiful figures appeared outside the gate of the Eighteen Locust Trees and Willows Courtyard.

Murong Xue and Ji Zixuan appeared outside the courtyard gate at the same time.

"Excuse me, is Senior Brother Zhao here?" One of the girls in a long azure blue dress asked, her voice clear and crisp, carrying into the courtyard.

Zhao Xingfei arrived at the gate of the courtyard. Ji Zixuan took a look at him and then bowed and said, "Ji Zixuan from Bishui Daoyuan, I am honored to meet Senior Brother Zhao. Thank you for leading the way."

A woman wearing a white dress and a veil said in a cold voice: "Taihe County Murong Xue, meet Lord Zhao."

Zhao Xing returned the greeting and then invited them into the courtyard: "Ladies, please come in."

　The Spring Festival actually existed in the ancient Zhou Dynasty, so I will apply it here.

　　Rumor has it that Confucius was born when his parents had sex on a hill in the wild on the Spring Festival day.

　　There will be no third update today, but it is still 12,000 words. Please give me your monthly vote!
