Forge your destiny into a sword, slash your soul and ascend to immortality

Chapter 86: Changing Vests and Killing Monks
With the [Solution to the World] at hand, performing a [Fortune Telling Technique] would only consume one or two [Green Wing Life Essence].

In exchange for a [Blue Blood Life Fire], the profit can be dozens of times greater!
The person in front of me is a big customer.

The purple figure seemed to sigh and spoke:
"If you are ready, please begin."

"I have just entered the [Dragon Elephant] cultivation realm and am preparing to condense the [Empress Cloud Machine] Dharma form inherited from my family."

"However, my [Destiny] is meager, and the rank of my innate awakening [Destiny] is not high either. So far, I have only forged one [Blue Wing], one [Blue Blood], and one [Purple Eye] Destiny, and I have never been able to produce a Dharma Image."

"Before this, I had also consulted a fortune teller to calculate my destiny. He bluntly said that my innate destiny was weak, less than four taels and five cents. The remaining destiny was at most one tael and two cents, and at least one tael."

"I intend to refine a fourth [Life Pattern] in order to achieve a Dharma Image, but I have never made up my mind whether to try to refine another [Purple Eye] Life Pattern."

"This matter concerns my own path. I have hesitated for a long time and still haven't made up my mind."

"If your own [Life Points] are less than one or two taels, you will definitely fail if you rashly refine the [Purple Eyes] Life Points."

"By then, both the wasted resources and the backlash will be unbearable for me."

"My brother knows my worries, so I've specially asked the master to measure my destiny again, striving for accuracy. I still appreciate the master's guidance!"

Jing Qian nodded after hearing this. The other party could express his needs so clearly, so he must have a very deep background and the knowledge he inherited must be complete enough.

The opponent's [fate] happens to fall on a critical node. If the wrong choice is made, the negative impact on the path will be extremely far-reaching.

"Please release your spiritual protection and don't stop me from casting the spell!"

After saying that, Jing Qian picked up the [Solution to the World] and used the [Fortune Telling Technique] for other people for the first time.

I saw a trace of his magic power piercing into the opponent's purple fire incarnation and connecting with that trace of soul.

After the other party released his defenses, his cultivation information was clearly displayed in front of Jing Qian.

He successfully uncovered all of the other party's cultivation information:
【Fan Zhuoyi】

[Lifespan: 138 years]

[Destiny number: 5 liang 3 qian / 6 liang 5 qian]

[Life Points: 7] (Blue Wing)

[Inspiration: Life-Locking Needle]

Fate: Embroidering the Countryside (Purple), Weaving Brocade (Blue), Black Silk (Green)

Jing Qian greedily absorbed Fan Zhuoyi's cultivation information. The other party's cultivation stage was almost the same as his, making him a perfect example.

He just happened to use this to reflect his own practice and observe the other party's magic power flow.

However, Fan Zhuoyi obviously had a serious misunderstanding about his own practice, which led to him misjudging many things.

Fortunately, the other party had the good fortune to meet him. If it were any other [Fortune Teller], without the power of his [World Solution], he would only give her new misleading information.

The opponent will definitely not suffer any loss from this [Blue Blood Life Fire].

Jing Qian focused his attention on the [Life-Locking Needle], searching for the information about this [Inspiration]:

【Spiritual Clue·Life-Locking Needle】

[Category: Offering Talisman/Seeking One's Own Root]

[Rank: Eighth Grade]

【Lifespan Consumption: Ten Years】

A very unique [Inspiration], if not handled properly, it will be a sinister hidden weapon that will trap two taels of the monk's [life].

If handled properly, it can be transformed into [Seeking the Root of Oneself], completing a special [Inspiration forging destiny]!
The existence of this [inspiration] allowed Fan Zhuoyi's practice to enter a rather strange state.

After reading it, Jingqian felt that his horizons were broadened and he gained a lot.

He has a strong professional ethics and immediately shared all the information he observed:
"Fellow Daoist Fan, you possess six taels and five qian of [Destiny]. You are quite gifted. After absorbing three [Destiny Grids], you still have three taels and two qian of [Destiny] to spare. This is far from reaching the limit of your talent."

"It's just that someone used a [Life Locking Needle] to seal two taels of your [Life]."

"If you don't properly deal with this [Life-Locking Needle], your own cultivation will be greatly affected."

"I wonder if you have any idea to solve this problem?"

After hearing this, Fan Zhuoyi froze!

All of a sudden, countless memories came flooding back, and many questions in my heart were instantly answered.

She was silent for a long time, then suddenly prostrated herself on the ground and said:
"Thank you, Master, for your guidance and for clearing up the confusion in my heart."

"I've never heard of this [Life-Locking Needle] trick, and I don't know how to break it. Master, please teach me how to break it!"

"I am a disciple of the Fan family of Yingdu [Jinhua Hall]. If you need anything, please tell me. I will do my best to meet your needs."

After saying that, Fan Zhuoyi presented five [Blue Blood Life Fires] with both hands to show his sincerity.

Jing Qian raised his hand and took the [Life Fire] into his body, and immediately more than half of his white incarnation turned blue.

The appearance fee increased fivefold, huge profit!

He thought for a moment and continued:

"Removing the curse of your [Life-Locking Needle] is no simple matter, and it cannot be done in the [Kitchen]. I must do it in person."

"Besides, if I were to make a move, the price wouldn't be cheap!"

Fan Zhuoyi bowed again and continued:

"Master, please teach me!"

"No matter where you are, I will visit you. If you are willing to come to [Yingdu], I will welcome you at [Jinhua Hall]."

Then, she sent another message to Jing Qian, and then said:

"These are three seventh-grade precious robes forged by my [Jinhua Hall]. I have the power to control them all. Master, please choose."

[Jinhuatang] is a major clothing merchant in [Yingdu] that has been passed down for hundreds of generations. It has more than ten [Bai Lian] craftsmen under its banner, and even two higher-level [Qian Lian] craftsmen.

The precious robes and magical instruments they weave are not only effective in protecting the body, but also extremely gorgeous and popular among the female cultivators of the Divine Dynasty, so they command a very high premium.

A seventh-grade [Jinhuatang] treasured robe can often be sold at the price of a sixth-grade magical instrument. It is a pure luxury item used to make money.

The Fan family is considered one of the top wealthy merchants in the Divine Dynasty, although Fan Zhuoyi's lineage encountered some problems and fell into difficulties for a while.

But the resources she could easily mobilize also opened the eyes of the [Hunzhou] local leopard.

However, Jing Qian did not choose any of the treasured clothes, but said:
"These magical instruments and robes are of good quality, but they are too delicate and not to my taste."

"Well, you come from a family of weavers, so you must have easy access to spider silk."

"You must prepare one hundred pieces of eighth-grade [Green Wing] spider silk for me. There is no limit to the type. This will be considered as part of the transaction price."

Fan Zhuoyi nodded and said:
"This is a trivial matter!"

Jing Qian continued:

"In addition, you need to collect information about [Zhuling Cave Heaven] and [Academy Feast] for me, which will be considered as the second part of the transaction price."

Fan Zhuoyi thought about it and nodded in confirmation.

"Finally, I have a junior who will be traveling to [Yingdu] soon to participate in the [Academy Feast], and I need your help in hosting him."

"Your [Inspiration] threat will be resolved by me, your junior. This is the third consideration of the transaction."

"If you can meet all three of these considerations, I guarantee you'll be able to eliminate the threat posed by the Life-Locking Needle and use it to complete the Spiritual Forging of Life, significantly altering the foundation of your cultivation. What do you think?"

Fan Zhuoyi was shocked when he heard this. He felt that his life, which was gradually declining, suddenly took a turn for the better!

She bowed deeply and said:
"Master, please give me some time. I will not give you any discount on this deal!"

"I only hope that the master's family can arrive as soon as possible. My [Jinhua Hall] will definitely do its best to entertain them!"

The two men each got what they wanted and reached a deal.

For Jing Qian, the price of this transaction just solved his urgent needs and could not be refused.

He was well-versed in Taoist scriptures, and knew of no less than three ways to easily resolve Fan Zhuoyi's spiritual power-locking problem without requiring much effort.

All in all, this deal is a huge profit.

My first trip to the kitchen was quite rewarding.

After Jing Qian gave Qili some instructions, he slipped out of the kitchen.

He didn't have much money in his pocket, nor did he have any flagship products to show off, so there was no need for him to spend too much energy in the [kitchen] for the time being.

However, he also instructed Qili to find more potential clients like Fan Zhuoyi who did not have high cultivation but were knowledgeable, so that he could tell their fortunes when he had nothing to do, which would bring in considerable profits.

Jing Qian returned to the pagoda government office and sat down in front of the three [life stoves] again, silently thinking about his next plan.

All aspects of my cultivation are progressing steadily. With each passing day, my foundation becomes more solid and my strength increases.

But after seeing Ling Mingji, Chi Ling, Wu Jian and Xiang Yu, four true descendants of the great Dharma lineage, he had already thought about leaving [Hunzhou].

Although this place [Hunzhou] still has a lot of resources worth exploring, it can provide him with enough space for practice.

But the pattern is really too low!

Throughout the continent, there is not a single [Inspiration Child], and there are not even a few [Inspirations].

For Jing Qian, even though his cultivation had just been promoted to the eighth level, he no longer felt much challenge.

It could never help but pursue higher-level challenges and see the true genius.

In addition, even though it possesses the unique [Sumeru Avenue Monument], it has great opportunities and is making rapid progress.

But being alone in this divine dynasty without a solid backing is not always safe.

Especially after he took control of the "Yamfu Cave Dark Wheel Turning Book", horrifying causes and effects gradually emerged.

He needs a bigger platform to hide!
There are twelve famous lineages on the academy's list, and each one has at least a fourth-grade [Star-Picking] cultivator suppressing the sect's fortune.

Recalling the astonishing sword that destroyed [She Di Zang Island], he had to find a way to witness this extremely powerful swordsmanship master!

Jing Qian took out a piece of eighth-grade [Blue Gold] from the [Virtual Realm].

Two [White Fang Life Fires] were drawn out from the [Void Furnace] and began to burn this piece of metal treasure.

[Lapis Lazuli] gradually melted into juice in the fire, and under Jing Qian's magic power, it gradually condensed into an exquisite rectangular gold medal.

On the gold medal, he carefully carved a few lines of small characters:
"The talented men of Hunzhou, such as Jingqian, have bones of pine and bamboo, and vessels of jade."

"Today, at the Imperial Academy's feast, the phoenix flags are slowly drawn, and the ritual music is about to begin."

"I respectfully recommend this talented person to carry on the legacy of the Divine Dynasty."

Then, he took out his bronze official seal, activated the school principal's position in it, and printed the bronze official seal on the gold medal.

In an instant, the entire Hunzhou government office shook slightly.

The figure of [Xugong Abacus] appeared silently in front of him.

The beads on it clattered and clicked, and it was finally calculated that [Hunzhou] had accumulated seventy-nine great merits.

Jing Qian, using his position as a schoolmaster as a guarantee, borrowed twenty-one gongs, adding up to one hundred, and refined a [school order]. The specifications and shape of this [school order] were all well-known, and the cost of refining was not low.

Its only function is to recommend a student with outstanding talent to represent [Hunzhou] and participate in the selection of [Academy Feast].

Every military ruler is eligible to recommend a certain number of monks to participate in grand events such as the [Academy Feast] based on the accumulated merits of the [Sequence of Merits].

[Hunzhou] Although it is located in a remote area and has the weakest strength, it is still one of the twenty-four military continents.

Although his accumulated merits are not enough, Jing Qian, as the academician of Hunzhou and the spiritual incarnation and successor of the former governor Luo Yaozhi, is very broad-minded and far-sighted. He would rather increase the fiscal deficit and incur huge debts than not improve education.

This was another major reason why he was unwilling to resign despite taking risks after obtaining the position of academic principal.

Without this [Hunzhou School Order], it would not be easy to get a chance to participate in the [School Palace Banquet].

Jing Qian held the [Xue Ling] in his hand, looked at it carefully, and then put it away solemnly.

Then, he summoned the little ghost clone again.

He gently took off the mask that was always on his face and handed it to the little ghost incarnation.

Afterwards, the power of [Nourish Meat Buds] was activated, and Jing Qian's body actually began to gradually twist and deform.

This was the first time he used the power of his destiny to adjust his physical structure after obtaining the destiny of nourishing flesh sprouts.

This powerful [Life Pattern], which is specifically designed to strengthen the flesh and blood body, can consume mana, eliminate lesions, heal hidden injuries, and comprehensively optimize the body's organs.

It can keep the whole body in the healthiest and most active state.

The first comprehensive optimization of the physical body will naturally have the most significant effect.

In an instant, Jing Qian felt that his physical strength had more than doubled, and even his precious lifespan had increased by a full five years.

After the adjustment, his height did not increase but decreased, shrinking back to just over four feet.

And the whole person's image and temperament have also completely changed.

Jing Qian condensed a realm of magical power, looked at the brand new self in the mirror, and nodded with satisfaction.

His eyes were very bright, and although he was a little thin, he exuded a sense of concentrated power.

The whole person reveals an indescribable charm, a temperament that is a mixture of self-consistency, belief and ambition, appearing both relaxed and solemn.

He didn't know many people in this land of [Hunzhou], and no one could imagine that the young man in front of him was the same person as the newly promoted academician trapped in the tower.

To a certain extent, the pseudonym Jing Qian has completed his historical mission.

From this moment on, Jingqian and the little ghost incarnated in this pagoda and completed a handover.

Later, he transformed into a little ghost and played the role of Jing Qianxue Zheng in this pagoda.

For him, being exposed didn't have any impact anyway. At most, he would offend Zhizhou. He planned to act as long as he could.

As long as he is not discovered, this secret room will be his best safe haven.

He had already inserted his only [Sumeru] beacon into the little ghost.

With just a thought, you can easily return.

From then on, Jing Qian's body was completely freed from the constraints and could do whatever he wanted in this land of [Hunzhou].

He just flashed and escaped into the dimension, and then escaped out of the pagoda and government office.

The restriction left by Xiangyu was easily discovered by the power of [Sumeru]'s destiny and it broke out.

Immediately afterwards, [Bi'an Weiyang] flashed with light, and he crossed half of [Hunzhou Island] and landed in the Hunzhou sea city after a long absence.

This place has suffered a major disaster and has become completely depressed.

Only a few scattered figures remain on the once bustling streets.

The so-called Twenty-Four Main Stores suffered heavy losses at the hands of Xiang Yu.

Although the facades of the main stores have not collapsed for the time being, their foundations are still there.

But without the support of the government, it won't be long before a new force will replace it.

Jing Qian walked to his property and saw a huge building that towered into the sky, standing quietly in a corner of the sea city.

The craftsmanship of [Dilong Jiao Island] is really good, and the building was built even better than Jing Qian had imagined.

When he reached the gate of the building, he was shocked to find that above the huge gate was a newly built plaque with three large gilded characters written on it:

"Ganesha Temple!"

Jing Qian chuckled. These foreign monks had good taste and immediately picked the best location on the island.

However, he came to this Hunzhou Sea City not to meet guests.

He just waved his hand lightly, and a sword thread scraped towards the plaque.

The three words "Ganesh Temple" were instantly chopped into pieces.

Such an extremely offensive act naturally stirred up a hornet's nest.

A group of grey-robed monks rushed out of the main entrance of the building in a menacing manner.

The first person is already a highly accomplished cultivator of the [Dragon Elephant] sect.

He was a burly man with an extraordinary aura. He opened his mouth and shouted angrily:
"Who dares to violate the Daoist tradition of Zhizhou?"

"Are you looking for death?"

"out……"

Before he could finish his words, a head flew into the sky, fell to the ground, and rolled a long distance away.

The thick black neck was cut cleanly and neatly by a sword thread. The wound was neat and tidy without a single burr.

Even if the head is picked up and put back together, it will fit perfectly.

Not only did the leading monk's head fly off and die, but the eight [Dragon Elephant] monks following behind him also had their heads chopped off by a sword thread almost at the same time and died on the spot.

For a moment, nine headless corpses were bleeding wildly in front of the building.

Jing Qian did not get himself stained with blood, but simply stretched out dozens of silk threads and searched through the bodies of the masters, looking for valuable things.

Soon, the nine storage treasures fell into Jing Qian's hands.

His emotions immediately became high!
It has to be the human cultivators who are very kind.

My own [virtual world] can finally usher in a long-awaited wave of growth.

If all the masters of [Wuchang Temple] could have a storage treasure, he would definitely visit them one by one and make some good friends.

At this moment, a huge magical power leaped down from the top floor of the building, bringing with it a majestic momentum and attacking Jing Qian.

This is the only high monk named Yanshou who was left by Xiangyu to look after the island.

Jing Qian paid more attention to his presence.

Facing the opponent's powerful attack, he easily deconstructed it with [World Solution].

Then, another sword thread slashed towards the opponent.

This eminent monk [Yanshou] possesses the Dharma image of [Weituo] and is extremely good at defense.

When he faced the sword, he immediately chose to maximize the power of his Dharma image.

He poured a huge amount of [Blue Blood Life Essence] into the [Vedo] Dharma image.

The entire statue was stretched to look lifelike, as if it had come alive.

But the next second, the sword thread came cutting from an extremely tricky angle.

Somehow, the place where it struck happened to fall on a discordant spot in the operation of Wei Tuo's Dharma power.

The extremely powerful Dharma image of this eminent monk [Yanshou], which he had condensed over many years, was actually directly shattered by this sword thread!
Then, behind the sword thread, a shadow followed closely, directly immersing itself in the Dharma image and slashing into the monk's lower back.

The monk bleeds out and is immediately seriously injured.

But before he could react, another sword thread, carrying a powerful sword energy, came again, and the entire [Weituo] Dharma image was completely chopped into pieces like a glass doll.

Even a dignified seventh-grade [Longevity] cultivator had no room to display his cultivation at all. He was also beheaded by a sword and fell to the ground, spitting blood.

Jing Qian breathed a sigh of relief!

This [Longevity Extension] monk actually did not have [Spiritual Inspiration] with him, and the opponent was completely reduced to a chicken in front of his sword.

[Qingping Sword Box] has been nurtured to its current state, and breaking through the defense of a seventh-grade cultivator has become a basic operation.

As long as they are not [Lingjizi] of the great Dharma lineage, Jing Qian can kill enemies of higher levels as easily as chopping melons and vegetables.

After patiently searching, a storage treasure was found on the monk's body.

Moreover, this tenth storage treasure is the only one of the eighth grade, which can be said to be priceless.

At this point, all of Xiang Yu's men who remained on [Hunzhou Island] were easily killed by Jing Qian with just one sword.

If Xiangyu was still on the island, Jingqian would not dare to be so presumptuous.

But right now, Xiang Yu is in the [Sea of ​​​​Ghosts], trying to dig a trap for Jing Qian and try to capture him.

Don't blame Jing Qian for treating the entire [Hunzhou] as his hunting ground since he is out of reach.

After killing the ten monks, Jing Qian once again rose from his own property and rushed towards the outside of [Hunzhou Island].

Almost every time he returned to the Jing's main store, he would first launch a fierce attack, as the world was unpredictable.

It was clearly a business, but they didn't make a penny, but dozens of lives were lost.

For a long time after Jing Qian left, the entire [Hunzhou Island] fell into a power vacuum.

All of Zhizhou's direct subordinates were killed, and the other two ninth-grade [Spiritual Officials] were imprisoned by Zhizhou.

As a last resort, the Twenty-Three Zhengdian Family, which was on the verge of extinction, actually breathed a sigh of relief and organized a [Hunzhou Autonomous Committee] to engage in self-governance on the island, which was quite bizarre.

However, it was precisely because of this that this Hunzhou sea city slowly began to recover its vitality.

Jing Qian hid in the dimensional void and flew away at high speed. With the full power of [Bi'an Weiyang] activated, he almost reached twice the speed of sound.

It took only half a day for him to cross 30,000 miles of sea and land at the Earth Dragon Reef Island.

In front of this [Life Island], the [Hun Yi] docked safely.

A team of twenty monk soldiers had already landed on the [Earth Dragon Reef Island] and were confronting a group of civil engineering bosses.

The leading monk [Yanshou] was pointing and giving orders, carrying out Xiangyu's instructions.

But suddenly, a fine sword thread floated over from the horizon, gently pierced through the barrier of the atmosphere, cut through the Dharma body protection of the [Longevity Extension] monk, and cut off half of his head.

Jing Qian tried to launch an attack from a hundred feet away with this sword, but unexpectedly the sword missed and only cut off half of the target's head.

His sword skills were rough and not refined enough, so he still had to keep practicing!
