Chapter 206: Chapter 139: Silent Rain Cutter (Two-in-One Request for Votes)
After seeing off Xie Miaobo, Liou Yuan did not hurry to the riverside to cultivate his magic today.
Instead, he carefully placed his beloved Canglan Sword on the green stone bed, where he could easily reach it.
Then he picked up the Bamboo Infant Pen and used it like a normal inkbrush, writing a letter on the stone table.
This letter was addressed to Gong Linqing.
Before leaving Huifeng County, he had promised Gong Linqing that after returning to Five Extremes Mountain, he would find a way to bring him back.
Liou Yuan’s initial plan was to enter the Disciplinary Hall, and using the convenience of its duties, directly transfer Gong Linqing back.
But right after returning to Five Extremes Mountain, he had to retreat to break through the Qi Cultivation Seventh Layer due to sudden outer sect training.
This delay stretched on for a year.
Naturally, Liou Yuan needed to write a letter to explain this to Gong Linqing.
Such a major event as outer sect training cannot be treated lightly, and he assumed Gong Linqing could understand.
Liou Yuan first mentioned in the letter that preparation for outer sect training took up his time, urging Gong Linqing not to worry, and upon completing the training, he would arrange for his return to the Sect.
Then the letter inquired about the matter concerning the Evil Corpse.
Liou Yuan had been out from retreat for some days, therefore, he heard the rumor spreading within Five Extremes Mountain about the destruction of Lingjun County by an Evil Corpse.
Liou Yuan figured out easily that the rumored Evil Corpse was certainly the one transformed from Han Zhenzi’s corpse.
Liou Yuan was puzzled about how the Evil Corpse managed to escape the suppression of Han Zhenzi’s array. He had clearly seen the Evil Corpse immobilized by Han Zhenzi’s array disc.
However, this was no longer important.
Since the Evil Corpse had appeared, Liou Yuan was sure to keep a close watch.
On his Fixed Star Compass, there was a reward for exterminating the Evil Corpse.
"The emergence of the Evil Corpse is also beneficial to me."
"Disseminating the map to the Corpse Nurturing Land, wasn’t it to eliminate the Evil Corpse with the help of various sects in Jiuli State?"
"Now it has come forward, saving me considerable effort."
Liou Yuan thought to himself.
In his letter, he first expressed condolences for Mr. Li’s unfortunate demise.
Then he asked Gong Linqing to gather more intelligence on the Evil Corpse whenever possible and send updates to him regularly.
Liou Yuan’s intention with this was to use Gong Linqing’s intelligence to keep track of the Evil Corpse’s movements anytime.
Once the Evil Corpse was encircled by major sects in Jiuli State, he could promptly head to Jiuli State, using the Fixed Star Compass to handle matters and claim the reward for exterminating the Evil Corpse.
"With my identity as a disciple of Five Extremes Mountain, even if they ignore me out of courtesy, those sects in Jiuli State should grant me some respect."
"By observing from afar, I reckon they wouldn’t drive me away."
Liou Yuan’s mind was calculating loudly.
At the end, Liou Yuan didn’t forget to include a bottle of elixir he purchased for two merit points to enhance cultivation in the letter.
Although not high-quality, it would aid Gong Linqing’s cultivation, serving as a reward for his dealing activities on Liou Yuan’s behalf.
After completing these tasks, Liou Yuan headed to the department that raised spirit birds on the Fifth Peak, spending a Star Stone to rent one. He sent the letter along with the elixir.
Liou Yuan watched the spirit bird fly out of Five Extremes Mountain, feeling considerably reassured, and muttered, "I trust Gong Linqing will handle this well."
During the extermination of Ji Jie, Gong Linqing’s sharpness was especially commendable.
This was why Liou Yuan opted to send him back to Five Extremes Mountain.
Before the Evil Corpse was eradicated, Liou Yuan thought, even if he could reinstate Gong Linqing’s qualification to return to Five Extremes Mountain.
It would be better to have him temporarily stay in Jiuli State, acting as his eyes.
...
The fine rain fell like silk, drifting slowly from the leaden gray sky, veiling everything in a thin layer.
On the riverbanks adjacent to Xiaopei Mountain, the drooping willows swayed gently, their slender branches fluttering in the breeze and drizzle, occasionally shedding glistening droplets that dropped, softly striking the calm river surface, rippling into circles of delicate ripples.
Raindrops fell and embraced the river water, splashing tiny sprays.
Liou Yuan stood on the rippling river surface, eyes shut tight, soaking in the coolness of raindrops hitting his face.
In front of him, the Canglan Sword hovered in mid-air under the control of the Celestial Calculation Skill for Taming Objects, its azure blade emitting a bright sheen like flowing water, resonating with the current of the softly flowing long river.
Suddenly, Liou Yuan opened his eyes.
Whoosh! The Canglan Sword, suspended for long in front of him, shot out close to the water’s surface.
The speed was so fast that only a vague blue shadow could be seen above the water.
Where the shadow passed, using the blue trajectory as the center, the river water surged to either side, revealing a barren channel on the river surface.
Affected by the Green Tide Sword’s blade aura on the Canglan Sword, the river water pushed aside by the sword quickly transformed into water spirals, rushing towards the Canglan Sword’s blade.
Forming a water dragon twist like a water column on the river surface.
Liou Yuan simultaneously pinched the spell of the Celestial Calculation Skill for Taming Objects while using his eyes to lock onto the moving direction of the Canglan Sword.
With slight finger movements, the Canglan Sword flew and shot on the water surface, splashing raging waves.
"Thus, the Celestial Calculation Skill for Taming Objects is now at the beginner level." With a smile on his face as he watched the agilely maneuvered Canglan Sword, Liou Yuan remarked.
Nearing the deadline for outer sect training, he had finally entered the beginner level for the Celestial Calculation Skill for Taming Objects.
The magical artifact bolstered by this Artifact Control Skill was astonishingly fast.
On that day, Ji Jie recklessly confronted Liou Yuan using this Artifact Control Skill and nearly succeeded in a sneak attack.
This clearly shows that the power of the Celestial Calculation Skill for Taming Objects is quite formidable.
