Chapter 196: Chapter 196: Taichu Sacred Land 1
Translator: 549690339
Qin Changqing’s residence.
He pushes open the door and steps into the courtyard.
Stretching lazily in the morning sun.
“Who awakens from a deep dream? I’ve always known myself. In a thatched cottage, I sleep through spring, and outside the window, the sun lingers.”
“So humid, so damp.”
Whoosh!
A streak of red light flies past.
Qin Changqing’s mouth curls up, and he steps into the void, grabbing the red light in his hand.
“Little fellow, where are you going so early in the morning?” Qin Changqing gazes at the Blood Coral King in his hand and laughs.
The latter struggles in his hand for a moment, realizing that he can’t get free, so he lets his human-shaped body wilt, conveying a plea for mercy.
“Alright, don’t run around. This mountain is not like Xuanyi Peak. If some elder catches you and turns you into soup, don’t blame me.”
Qin Changqing releases his hand, and the Blood Coral King immediately escapes, burrowing into the soil of the flowerbed.
“Brother Qin!” A graceful figure appears outside the courtyard.
Jin Xiaoxiao has her hands behind her back and says with a cheerful grin, “Good morning.”
“Morning. ”
“Brother Qin, why do you sleep every day? We Golden Elixir ‘masters’ can go for days or even months without sleep.”
Ever since Qin Changqing came to the mountain, Jin Xiaoxiao has been running around to find him for fun… no, cultivators’ matters should not be called fun, but rather learning.
After all, being the number one on Tianti Road, Qin Changqing has become the top youth of the Lingxiao Sect. Jin Xiaoxiao has a good relationship with Qin Changqing and naturally won’t miss the chance to learn from him.
After a month, their relationship has grown by leaps and bounds. Qin Changqing often treats her to chicken, and she often takes Qin Changqing for a stroll on Taixuan Peak, enjoying the scenery.
Of course, during the day, Qin Changqing also has to find time to play games with Lingsu. He has never forgotten the tasks assigned to him by the Sect Leader.
“Xiaoxiao, you don’t understand. When cultivating reaches my realm, there is no need for deliberate seclusion. Every action must be in harmony with the natural Dao of heaven and earth to achieve the immortal path.”
What kind of realm is this? Aren’t we all in the Golden Elixir Realm?
Just as Jin Xiaoxiao is thinking, she sees Qin Changqing preparing to light a fire to heat the kiln and hurriedly says:
“Brother Qin, don’t be busy. I’ll be leaving soon.”
“Oh? So soon?”
“Sigh-” Jin Xiaoxiao sighs, “Master is in seclusion recently and asked me to take my junior sister to practice.”
“Junior sister?” Qin Changqing asks confusedly, “Who is it?”
“It’s Linglong junior sister… oh, you might not know. She’s never come over to your side.”
Jin Xiaoxiao finds it strange that most Taixuan Peak disciples have visited Qin Changqing, the famous person, except Linglong who has never visited him. “Linglong junior sister.” Qin Changqing strokes his chin. “Sounds… pretty.”
Jin Xiaoxiao sneers, “What do you mean by ‘sounds pretty’? How would you know just by hearing the name?”
“A personal disciple chosen by the Sect Leader. Can she be ugly?”
Jin Xiaoxiao is speechless.
It seems that’s indeed the case.
Qin Changqing chuckles, “Bring her here tomorrow, and I’ll teach you how to practice. ”
Jin Xiaoxiao is doubtful, “Brother Qin, can you teach others how to practice?” “Why can’t I? Have you forgotten my strength? All of you cultivate the mundane path, whereas I cultivate the grand path. Do you want to learn? If not, never mind. Many junior brothers and sisters have come to me, and I haven’t taught any of them.”
“Study, study, study!” Jin Xiaoxiao immediately agrees, “Then Brother Qin, I’ll definitely bring Linglong junior sister over tomorrow! “After speaking, Jin Xiaoxiao left.
She was just passing by and took the opportunity to visit Qin Changqing.
Well, she felt uncomfortable if she didn’t see Brother Qin for even a day.
Not long after she left, Lingsu arrived.
“Oh? Su’er, come on, sit with your husband.” Qin Changqing sat down and poured a cup of tea.
However, Lingsu seemed to be preoccupied with something.
“What’s wrong?”
“My husband, I…”
Qin Changqing chuckled lightly: “It’s okay, take your time.”
Lingsu took a deep breath, feeling a bit uneasy. She had decided to confess to Qin Changqing when she came, but she had some fear when the words reached her lips.
“What is it? Have you decided to tell me?” Qin Changqing’s face still carried a smile, and judging from Lingsu’s look, he knew already. The effect of the Innate Furnace Cauldron was no joke. Just a few days ago, he had received a system prompt that classified Lingsu as a member of the Qin family, which meant that she had completely given up her intention to kill him.
Now he just needed Lingsu to confess.
“My husband, I’m sorry. I did something wrong to you before.” Lingsu bit her lip lightly, “Do you always want to know about my affairs? I’ll tell you everything. ”
“Mmm, you talk, and I’ll listen.”
“Aren’t you surprised that I want to confess?”
“Not surprised.” Qin Changqing said indifferently, “As the saying goes, sincerity can move even the hardest stones. I treat you sincerely, and naturally, you will be sincere to me too, right?”
“My husband…”
Such a good person.
How could I think of killing my husband?
Lingsu was moved and annoyed, and even felt a hint of resentment towards the force she belonged to before. It was a good thing that she didn’t succeed on Tianti Road.
“Actually, I wasn’t sure if I wanted to kill someone on Tianti Road…” Lingsu recounted the whole story bit by bit.
As Qin Changqing understood, Lingsu was supposed to kill someone with a Ziwei destiny. However, before that, neither she nor the sect she belonged to knew who this person was, so they sent many disciples to participate in the Tianti trials.
Logically speaking, someone who could light up the Ziwei Star would have a considerable talent and a high probability of attending the Tianti Road.
Unexpectedly, Lingsu happened to encounter one.
“My sect is called Taichu Sacred Land, a hidden sect in the North Region.”
“Taichu Sacred Land?” Qin Changqing pondered for a moment. He had no impression of this force, but places called “Sacred Land” were generally not simple.
Indeed, according to Lingsu’s words, even the powerful sects in the North
Region had to bow down in front of Taichu Sacred Land. Among them, Qin Changqing knew one sect — the Hehuan Sect, which was a legitimate Third Grade Sect. However, in front of Taichu Sacred Land, it was like a child.
If he had to guess, Taichu Sacred Land might be a First Grade Sect that didn’t actively participate in the world for many years. They had sent several disciples this time, just for the assassination of the person with the Ziwei destiny. Lingsu was only one of them. Her talent was not outstanding, after all, Tianchuan State was a tiny place, and some powerful people even managed to cultivate seven patterns.
When comparing, Qin Changqing suddenly felt like a rural person looking at the city.
The village’s top expert was nothing but ordinary in a big city.
“Under Taichu Sacred Land, there are many affiliated forces, among which is the Dayan Dynasty.” Lingsu whispered, “Today, I received a message from a hidden agent in the Lingxiao Sect. The Dayan Dynasty will cooperate with me to kill you.”
“Oh? It’s the Dayan Dynasty again.” Qin Changqing sneered, no wonder this power was so jumpy, thinking they had a backer.
By attaching themselves to a First Grade superpower, they naturally gained confidence.
However…
Qin Changqing wondered: “Why does Taichu Sacred Land want to kill me? What exactly does the Ziwei Destiny signify?”
“I’m not quite sure…” Lingsu shook her head, “But I once saw a sentence in my sect’s library: ‘When Ziwei revives, the Heavenly Dao awakens, and the path to immortality becomes possible.”‘
“The Heavenly Dao awakens, the path to immortality becomes possible…. It’s been a long time since a cultivator appeared in the Tianxuan Realm, is it because the Heavenly Dao is dormant? But if the path to immortality is possible, shouldn’t it be a good thing for everyone?”
