Brocade Robe Unparalleled

Chapter 85 Self-doubt

Jingbian Division.

Two guards were carrying bamboo baskets and distributing pastries to the guards in each room.

"Thank you sister-in-law!"

"Thank you, Lin Xiaoqi!"

"This pastry is delicious!"

"We also benefited from Lin Xiaoqi's success..."

From the doors of the various duty rooms, the sounds of people expressing their gratitude could be heard.

They looked at Lin Xuan with expressions of envy on their faces.

One beauty came in the morning, and another one came in the afternoon. How can one not be envious of such good fortune?

What they envied was not just the beautiful women around Lin Xiaoqi.

The two centurions trusted him more than the other. Although he was a flag officer, he wielded more power than the other centurions of the Jingbian Division. How many flag officers in the entire Dayong could reach such a position?
Hearing everyone call her "sister-in-law," A'Luo blushed and whispered, "Brother Lin, I... I'll go back first. When you go home, don't forget to bring our bamboo basket back..."

After saying that, she lifted the hem of her skirt and ran away quickly.

Lin Xuan watched her leave Jingbian Division, suppressing some of his thoughts.

The most important thing right now is the cooperation with the Holy Maiden of the Xuanwu Clan.

The next morning, after reporting for duty at the Jingbian Division, Lin Xuan, accompanied by Tian Qingluan, went to Black Stone Village again.

Inside a room, he looked at the veiled woman and said, "I agree to what the Holy Maiden said yesterday."

Youmeng nodded slightly, took out a piece of paper from her sleeve, and said, "Young Master, you need to arrive here three months from now, before the 20th of the winter month. At that time, someone will naturally guide you."

Lin Xuan took the paper, which contained a simple map with a circle marking a certain location.

This place is located near Bozhou.

Bozhou is also located in the southwest of Dayong, and it is several days' journey away from Sizhou.

When the time comes, he'll have to find a way to go to Bozhou without Mandala knowing.

Youmeng walked to the bedside, took out a book from under the pillow, handed it to Lin Xuan, and said, "Although your spiritual power is strong, it is not refined enough. This is a method of cultivating spiritual power from the Jiuli tribe. For the next three months, you need to dedicate at least one hour each day to this practice, and only then will it be effective..."

Lin Xuan took the booklet and nodded, saying, "I will diligently cultivate."

He opened the booklet, glanced at it, and remained outwardly calm, but a ripple of emotion stirred within him.

The cultivation technique that Youmeng gave him was actually the "Starry Sky Technique".

It wasn't the fragment he had obtained last time, but the complete version of "The Starry Sky Decision".

The visualization method recorded here is not only more detailed, but also has corresponding annotations for each step of visualization. Just by glancing at it, Lin Xuan realized that he had taken many detours when he was exploring cultivation on his own before.

In addition, it also contains several secret techniques, including the 'Shock Technique', such as setting up soundproof barriers, using mental power to transmit sound, and several different mental shocks.

Youmeng reminded him, "This book, 'The Starry Sky Technique,' is a secret technique of the Jiuli tribe. Please do not pass it on to others, young master."

Lin Xuan nodded slightly, carefully flipped through the entire booklet, and then returned it to Youmeng: "I have memorized the contents of this booklet. Rest assured, Holy Maiden, no third person will ever know about this."

Youmeng took the booklet. Given Lin Xuan's mental strength, it was not surprising that he could memorize all of this in such a short time.

She picked up several porcelain bottles from the table and handed them to Lin Xuan, saying, "These are calming pills. Take one before you begin your visualization practice; it will help with the process. These should be enough for you for three months..."

These calming pills were originally intended for the Wada family to barter for goods.

However, they now have a more important use.

Lin Xuan accepted the pills without hesitation. While Youmeng was helping him, she was also helping herself.

At this moment, Youmeng spoke again: "Your cultivation is already close to the peak of the eighth rank. If you can break through to the seventh rank within these three months, your spiritual power will be further refined, and you will be able to control even more spiritual power..."

She took out a dark green porcelain bottle from her sleeve and said, "This bottle of Bone Tempering Liquid should allow you to reach the peak of the eighth rank. To break through to the seventh rank, you will need a bottle of Marrow Cleansing Liquid. I didn't bring any Marrow Cleansing Liquid with me when I left the mountain. I will have someone send it to you after I return to the tribe, and Qingluan will give it to you." Lin Xuan thought for a moment and then honestly said, "To be honest, not long ago, Miss Qingluan already gave me a bottle of Marrow Cleansing Liquid."

He had only known her for two days, yet she was already giving him cultivation techniques, pills, and spiritual liquids. Even if she had ulterior motives, Lin Xuan couldn't justify continuing to fleece her.

Youmeng looked towards the door, her tone slightly surprised: "It seems Qingluan really likes you. Given her stingy nature, she actually gave you the Marrow Cleansing Elixir..."

Lin Xuan was aware of Tian Qingluan's stinginess.

He vividly remembered how she haggled and fought for every penny when they first discussed business.

However, after getting to know her better, she became more and more generous to me.

Youmeng looked at him and continued, "The Jiuli tribe originally did not see outsiders. Qingluan begged me for a long time, and I only agreed to see you because you are the one she loves. I hope you can treat her well and not let her down..."

Lin Xuan didn't know how to answer that question for a moment.

He used to think that Tian Qingluan was too shrewd and not as simple as A Luo, but as they spent more time together, this view had quietly changed.

Whether in his spiritual practice, his career, or in matters of life that concern survival, she provided him with tremendous help.

The hardest thing to bear is the kindness of a beautiful woman; he has unknowingly accumulated too much debt to her.

……

The door opened from the inside, and Tian Qingluan, who was waiting outside, immediately turned around, looked at Lin Xuan, and asked, "How did it go?"

Lin Xuan nodded and said, "The Holy Maiden has agreed to help."

Tian Qingluan said happily, "I knew it! Sister Youmeng has a very kind heart!"

Lin Xuan looked at her and said earnestly, "Thank you."

This thank you comes from the bottom of my heart.

In response, Tian Qingluan rolled her eyes at him.

She naturally took Lin Xuan's arm and said, "If you really want to thank me, cook a few more of my favorite dishes today..."

Lin Xuan smiled slightly and said, "Okay, I'll make whatever you want to eat."

Just as the two stepped out of the courtyard, a figure approached them.

With a white cloth wrapped around his head, Youze's expression changed slightly when he saw Tian Qingluan and Lin Xuan walking hand in hand out of the Holy Maiden's residence. He asked in a deep voice, "Qingluan, who is this...?"

Tian Qingluan said speechlessly, "Ignore him, he's crazy, let's go!"

After saying that, she took Lin Xuan's arm and strode past You Ze.

Youze turned back to look at them, his face turning completely gloomy.

That damn pretty boy, he even dared to steal his woman!
next moment.

Youze's expression went blank, he spat out a mouthful of blood, and fell straight down again.

Upon hearing the noise, the two villagers standing guard at the gate immediately shouted, "Quick, someone come! Commander Youze has fainted again!"

Half an hour later.

In the small courtyard of Lin Xuan's home.

A Luo stared blankly at the dishes on the table, then turned to look at Tian Qingluan, and then at Lin Xuan, who was still busy in the kitchen.

They came back together again at noon today.

Several dishes on the table, as well as the one that hadn't been cooked yet, were also among Tian Qingluan's favorites...

An unacceptable outcome surfaced in her mind.
