After all the sacrifices have been made to speed pass, who is still practicing hard skills?

Chapter 431 The Jade Doll Protecting Dao! The Fairy Arrives!
Jiang Che felt a little relieved when he heard that Qi Zhengnan was unhappy about the title of 'brother-in-law'. Otherwise, if it was really that kind of title, it would be difficult for him to explain.

He immediately nodded and said:
"Uncle is right. I will tell Ning Bing when I get back."

"Well, let's go."

Qi Zhengnan nodded and said nothing more.

After all, it was really inappropriate for him to talk about these things with Jiang Che given his status.

But the problem is that they have been married for several months, but they are still addressed in the same way. If it gets out, it will damage the family tradition of Beiling Qi family, so Jiang Che has to be reminded of this.

"What is the attitude of the ancestors?"

Jiang Che suddenly asked.

Jiang Che couldn't say that he had no idea about the ancestor of the Beiling Qi family. After all, the Hei Ya had information about this, but perhaps it was due to his current authority.

What can be seen is basically superficial.

All we know is that the Martial Saint ancestor of the Beiling Qi family is actually named Qi Yuan. He attained enlightenment five hundred years ago and was one of the top geniuses of that generation, possessing a holy body.

With his own strength, he supported the Beiling Qi family.

However, due to his indifferent nature, he seldom appears in the world, and even Hei Ya has no accurate conclusion about his cultivation strength.

"The ancestor didn't say anything, he just asked you to go there." Qi Zhengnan said truthfully.

"Then uncle thinks"

"Although the ancestor doesn't like to show himself to others, I think since I can meet you this time, there is great hope. Don't have too much psychological burden. When the time comes, I will help you."

Qi Zhengnan saw that Jiang Che seemed a little suspicious, so he tried to comfort him.

"Thank you uncle."

Like the previous two times, Qi Zhengnan opened the entrance to the secret realm in the back mountain of Taoyuan and took Jiang Che in. Then, they flew in the air towards a remote direction.

He was able to steady himself only after reaching a mountain peak filled with rich vital energy.

Jiang Che knew that this must be the place where the ancestor of the Qi family lived.

Indeed, it also looks like the place where hermits live in seclusion.

Located on the top of a mountain, it seems a bit mysterious.

The place where Qi Yuan, the ancestor of the Qi family, lives is on the top of a mountain in a palace similar to a Taoist temple. It is carved from spiritual jade, and the surrounding vitality is extremely rich.

There are two words engraved on the plaque above the palace.

"Ask!"

As if sensing Qi Zhengnan and his arrival, the tightly closed door of the Wendao Palace slowly opened, and a figure came into the eyes of Jiang Che and Qi Zhengnan.

The other person was sitting cross-legged on a cushion, with a faint luster emanating from his whole body. His face was extremely handsome, his eyebrows were like swords, slanting into his temples, and his eyes were like stars, deep and bright.

It’s as if he could see through everything in this world.

The aura around him was very extraordinary, and coupled with the purple robe he was wearing, one could tell at a glance that he was extraordinary, especially his appearance, which even surprised Jiang Che.

Because the other person was very young, like a young man who had just come of age.

His eyes flickered slightly, and Jiang Che felt an inexplicable sense of vicissitudes.

"I've met my ancestor."

Qi Zhengnan was the first to salute, very respectfully.

But the comparison between the two sides is somewhat uncomfortable.

Because the ancestor is very young, but the descendant is a mighty and domineering middle-aged man.

Jiang Che suppressed the complicated thoughts in his mind and bowed quickly:
"Junior Jiang Che pays homage to the ancestor."

Qi Yuan, the ancestor of the Qi family, looked at Jiang Che and nodded slightly after examining him for a moment.
"come in."

Qi Yuan's voice was also very young, not old at all, but there was still a lingering trace of vicissitudes, as if he had already seen through the mundane world.

Jiang Che did as he was told and walked into the Wendao Palace with a solemn expression.

It was not that he was nervous, but rather that he showed respect for a Martial Saint. After all, up to now, he had met several Martial Saints, and had even come into contact with beings of the same level as the God King Ji Chengdao.

There is respect, but no awe.

Qi Zhengnan, who was standing by, also wanted to follow him into the Asking Dao Palace, but before he could move, a long voice sounded in his ears:

"You go back first."

"Yes, old man."

Qi Zhengnan opened his mouth, but finally swallowed back what he wanted to say. After looking at Jiang Che deeply, he turned around and flew away from this mountain full of vitality.

Qi Yuan looked straight at Jiang Che, and as soon as he thought about it, an illusory cushion condensed in the void. Jiang Che immediately understood and sat cross-legged opposite the ancestor of the Qi family.

The atmosphere around him was a little solemn. Jiang Che thought for a moment and was about to speak.

The voice of the Qi family's ancestor has already been heard.

"This is the third time I have seen you."

"the third time?"

Jiang Che was a little surprised.

"The first time was in this secret place in the back mountain. I saw you take away a trace of Dao rhyme from the Mingshen Dao Monument with my own eyes. Afterwards, I told Zhengnan to prepare a Dao-protecting treasure for you."

"The deity-transforming talisman?"

Jiang Che instantly thought of the original situation.

"good."

"What about the second time?"

"The second time was when you broke through the divine phase and the four great visions appeared in heaven and earth."

"Forgive me for my stupidity. I didn't notice the old ancestor's presence at that time."

"If even you can sense my existence, then there is no need for me to travel around the human world." Qi Yuan smiled indifferently and was very kind to Jiang Che.

"Senior is right."

“Zhengnan told me about you being ambushed by the Buddha’s Gala Bodhisattva. I do have a treasure that can protect you, but it is very precious.

What can you bring to the Qi family if you want to take it away? "

Qi Yuan looked straight at Jiang Che and asked.

Jiang Che looked thoughtful, and after thinking for a few breaths, he said in a deep voice:
"I can't bring much to the Qi family now, but after I become a saint, I can bring everything the Qi family wants."

"Chengsheng. You are very confident."

“I am not bragging. I have personally witnessed four heavenly and earthly phenomena accompanying my transformation into a baby. I think you should understand that I do have the potential to become a saint.

Within sixty years, I will definitely become a saint, and the Qi family will also benefit from it."

Jiang Che really couldn't come up with anything that could impress the Martial Saint, so he could only continue to paint the pie in the sky. Of course, the big pie he painted could give people hope.

He knew this, and so did everyone else.

Otherwise, why would Ji Chengdao, the God of Backers, value him?
Qi Yuan stared at Jiang Che, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, he opened one hand, a light flashed, and a blurry human-shaped jade doll appeared in his hand and handed it to Jiang Che:
"This jade doll was made by me through sacrifice. If you encounter danger, just pass on a little bit of your magic power."

He did not say how powerful the jade doll was, but the implication was that it could keep Jiang Che safe.

Jiang Che took the jade doll with a serious expression.

I couldn't help but feel a little excited in my heart.

The protective trump card, the Jade Doll of the Martial Saint.

He finally had the means to protect himself enough to face the Martial Saint.

It will no longer be like before, where we can only seek forced sacrifice to break the deadlock.

He immediately bowed to the Qi family ancestor:
"Thank you very much for the gift, old ancestor." "Just remember what you said today." Qi Yuan smiled.

Just as Jiang Che said, Jiang Che's aptitude is unquestionable. The four great phenomena of heaven and earth accompanying the Nascent Soul are the first time even he has seen them, and he understands that Jiang Che's upper limit is extremely high.

The Martial Saint's Natural Moat can trap most of the venerables.

But it definitely can’t trap Jiang Che.

Therefore, Jiang Che didn't need to say much. His willingness to Jiang Che meant that he was willing to give Jiang Che a treasure to protect his way. Although such a thing was precious, it was definitely not as valuable as a future Martial Saint.

Although Jiang Che's surname is not Qi, his interests are highly tied to the Qi family.

If Jiang Che can become a saint in the future, the Jiang and Qi families will be close friends for hundreds of years.

Of course, the most important thing is that his expectation for Jiang Che is not just to become a saint, but to become a truly top-notch powerhouse in this spiritual realm. However, the possibility of this is too slim.

He just kept it in his mind and thought about it.

"Don't worry, ancestor. I will definitely remember it."

"Tell me about the situation when you were ambushed." Qi Yuan changed the subject, as if he didn't want to talk too much about fearless things.

Seeing this, Jiang Che stopped talking nonsense and recounted the scene after he came out of the capital in detail, and even talked about how the Red Blood Demon Lord concealed their aura.

"For warriors below the level of Martial Saint, it is indeed useful to restrain one's own aura and be more covert. Even if a Venerable walks by, he may not notice anything unusual.

But facing the Martial Saint, such tricks are of little use."

"What does the ancestor mean?"

"Heaven's secret."

Qi Yuan uttered two words, and then continued:
“The reason why a martial saint can be called a saint is that his soul has gone through a thunderstorm, and his soul has transformed into a yang spirit. He has undergone a transformation, and he has not only been able to form his own martial saint domain.

He is also extraordinarily sensitive to the energy between heaven and earth. Unless someone disrupts the will of heaven, he can avoid the perception of a martial saint. Although you have never seen Gala Bodhisattva.

But she already knows you very well. Even if you hide your aura, in her eyes, your aura is still very obvious."

"I see."

Jiang Che's face showed a look of sudden realization.

He had actually guessed about this before, but it was obviously not as easy to understand as the introduction by the ancestor of the Qi family.

"The Bodhisattva Jialuo set up an ambush outside the capital. She certainly didn't have any murderous intentions. She just wanted to force you. Once she makes a move, the God King will definitely sense it.

If Yao Yue's appearance later was as I expected, it should also be related to Ji Chengdao."

Qi Yuan's expression was calm as he helped Jiang Che deduce the cause and effect from some of his remarks.

"But why did Ji Chengdao let Yao Yue take action?"

Jiang Che frowned slightly, his thoughts in a mess.

Jiang Che had discussed with the Red Blood Demon Lord the possibility that Ji Chengdao had instructed Yao Yue to help, but what he didn't understand was why Ji Chengdao didn't do it himself?

Instead, we should do more.
"Perhaps he wants you to remember Yao Yue's kindness, or perhaps it is inconvenient for him to show up. Of course, there is another possibility, that is, in Ji Chengdao's opinion, maybe the Bodhisattva Jialuo is not worth his effort."

Qi Yuan chuckled.

"Ancestor, have you met King Kaoshan?"

"We've met once, but we've never dealt with each other."

"Then what do you think of King Kaoshan's strength, Old Ancestor?" Jiang Che was also somewhat curious about this. He knew that Ji Chengdao was very powerful, but he did not have a clear idea of ​​how powerful he was.

Qi Yuan fell silent after hearing Jiang Che's words.

After thinking for a moment, he said:
"I do not know either."

"I don't know."

"Before the fight, no one knows how deep the other party's hidden power is. However, from some of my inferences, Ji Chengdao has at least taken the second step."

Qi Yuan spoke in a serious tone.

"Second step"

This is another somewhat confusing word for Jiang Che.

Qi Yuan seemed to understand this as well and explained:

“There are six realms in the martial arts, and each realm has its strengths and weaknesses. Martial Saints are no exception, but the vast majority of Martial Saints are stuck at the first step. Only those who can take the second step can do so.

It can be said to be the top existence in the spiritual realm."

As soon as these words were spoken, Jiang Che immediately understood.

This differentiation should be roughly the difference between the Nascent Soul Realm and the Dharma Realm in the Divine Realm. One belongs to the early stage and the other belongs to the middle stage.

"Thank you for clearing up my confusion, old man."

“Even if I don’t tell you these questions, you will understand them sooner or later. Your talent is indeed unique in my life. If nothing unexpected happens, the Martial Saint Heavenly Chasm should not be a big problem for you.

But martial arts has no end, so you must not become lazy. "

"Junior understands."

"Let's stop here today. If you want to deal with Li Chengguo, you can discuss these matters with Zhengnan. I am not interested in these." After a brief exchange, Qi Yuan ordered him to leave.

He admired Jiang Che, but he didn't take him too seriously.

Jiang Che’s future growth will depend on his own practice.

He won't interfere too much.

"Junior, take your leave."

Jiang Che immediately stood up and bowed, then turned and walked out of the Wendao Palace. When Jiang Che looked back, he found that the door of the Wendao Palace had been closed silently without him noticing.

In his heart he admired the Martial Saint's unrestrained attitude, and Jiang Che took a step forward and left this place.

Outside the mountain, Qi Zhengnan did not leave, but stayed outside waiting for Jiang Che. When he saw Jiang Che walking out of the Wendao Palace so quickly, he couldn't help but frowned.

Ask directly:
"Could it be that the ancestor did not agree?"

"I'm sorry for making my uncle worried. The ancestor agreed and gave me a protective treasure. Now, I finally have some confidence." Jiang Che said with a smile.

"That's good, let's go. The ancestor doesn't like to be disturbed."

Qi Zhengnan breathed a sigh of relief and returned with Jiang Che the same way.

After chatting for a while, Jiang Che said goodbye and left Taoyuan and returned to Wanbing Tower. Coincidentally, when he came back, Zhao Xianzhi was already waiting there.

Talking with the two sisters of the Qi family.

"Aunt Zhao, my husband is back. Don't you have something urgent to discuss with him? Tell me quickly." Qi Ningbing stood up and said.

Zhao Xianzhi nodded and handed a storage spirit ring to Jiang Che:
"What you want."

"Thank you fairy."

With the Qi sisters present, Jiang Che behaved very normally.

"The things have been delivered. I'll go back first." Zhao Xianzhi glanced at the two sisters of the Qi family and pursed her lips.

She was too uncomfortable here.

The two of them kept calling her Aunt Zhao, which made her feel guilty.

Jiang Che's face straightened:
"Go, fairy. I will see you off. I have something else to discuss with you."

Zhao Xianzhi was silent for a few breaths, then nodded slightly:
"it is good."
