Chapter 211 Dilemma

"Thank you so much for taking care of me these past few days, Master Liu. I will remember it forever!" At the entrance of Qingxuan Valley, Qi Yu bowed and thanked Liu Heguang, who had come to see him off.

Liu Heguang waved his hand and said, "Your father-in-law and I are old acquaintances, no need to be so polite. You are welcome to come again when you have time!"

Qi Yu bowed again, then bid farewell to Liu Xuan and Lu Shou before boarding the carriage.

I came to Qingxuan Valley to recuperate from my injuries. Now that my injuries have healed and the occasional leakage of my true energy has been brought under control, there is naturally no need for me to stay any longer.

Qi Yu did not go south, but chose to return to the Dayun Dynasty.

My injuries have just healed, so it's not advisable for me to travel long distances. A journey of 100,000 li is longer than the circumference of the Earth's equator.

If I were still a Grandmaster, I could reach the destination in about a day and a night, relying on the speed and pace of a Grandmaster.

But now that he can't use his true energy, Su Yue can't possibly carry him on the journey, right?

Moreover, Su Yue is now pregnant, so how could we let her work so hard?

Therefore, the only option left is to stay in the Dayun Dynasty and see how things develop.

Furthermore, Qi Yu dared not place all his hopes on the Lin family of Xuanzong.

If he goes south, and something happens to the leader, he won't be able to get back immediately.

Even if they were to settle in the south, they would have to wait until the sect leader emerged from seclusion and the children were taken care of before they could return to the Blood God Sect with Su Yue.

Qi Yu didn't really care whether he would become a demonic cultivator or simply live a carefree, unambitious life.

As for Su Yue, she wouldn't have any objections to Qi Yu's decision.

No matter what Qi Yu does, she always supports him.

Su Chengying also owns property in Jiangzhou City, so Qi Yu and Su Yue are planning to go there to rest and prepare for their pregnancy.

As for the old house, there's no going back, because it would be very dangerous if I were exposed now.

The Li family wants to kill him, and Emperor Xuanzong also wants to kill him. It's no exaggeration to say that he is now an enemy of the entire world.

Most people probably assumed they would return to the south with Su Yue, and that Jiangzhou City was safe for the time being.

In addition, with the [disguise technique] taught by Su Yue, even Uncle Li and Aunt Li might not recognize him now.

During Su Yue's pregnancy, casually arrange some follow-up hidden issues.

No matter what, Tianya Haige and Ziqi Ge must be destroyed.

……

With the identities provided by the Blood God Sect, Qi Yu and Su Yue easily passed through the checkpoints and entered Jiangzhou City.

Jiangzhou City is no longer as backward as it used to be, and because of its existence, the imperial court pays great attention to Jiangzhou City.

Students from all over the world flocked to Yunyu Academy, which has become the premier academy of the Great Yun Dynasty.

The teaching materials left behind by Qi Yu also opened the door to a new and wonderful world for these students.

Li Muchen added other subjects to the imperial examination, including the military examination.

Starting this year, in addition to the top scorer in the civil service exam, a top scorer in the military exam will also be added, with the rankings being the same as for the civil service exam, selecting the top three.

Li Muchen adopted Qi Yu's proposal to reform the imperial examination system, and it has already been implemented.

He proceeded step by step, starting with the simpler martial artists, whose numbers were second only to the scholars.

When Qi Yu passed through Jiangzhou City, he saw the notice that had been posted.

However, he only glanced at it and then lost interest.

These matters are none of his concern. His immediate priorities are Tianya Haige and Ziqi Pavilion.

Finally, Li Muchen and Li Ming, this hypocritical father and son, had to put things aside for now and wait until he had some free time.

Then we'll settle the score properly!

Previously, I felt that the Li family hadn't done anything substantial, so I wasn't particularly hostile towards them and just took a neutral view of them.

But the Li family father and son always tried to drag him into their mess, and even caused him some trouble.

For example, Li Muchen's excessive praise, his tolerance of those grandmasters attacking him in the capital, and even sending troops to surround the mountain where Changsheng Temple is located.

This father and son always teeter on the edge of their bottom line, causing trouble for themselves without crossing their own bottom principles.

Once or twice is one thing, but after so many times, Qi Yu became furious.

The Taoist principle of non-action was indeed practiced very well by this father and son, who even grasped its true meaning. Their ability to stir up trouble from afar was truly remarkable.

However, the current Great Yun Dynasty is indeed formidable, and I might not be able to defeat it alone.

Clear out the smaller minions first, and save the strongest ones for last.

Qi Yu drove his carriage past the official road outside Jiangting Village. Su Yue also got out of the carriage and sat down next to Qi Yu.

"Husband, aren't you going back to check on things? Uncle Li and Aunt Li must be very worried about you."

If Qi Yu still had any concerns in Jiangting Village, it was about Uncle Li's family.

The more this is the case, the less we should see them now, because it will bring them misfortune.

Qi Yu shook his head and said calmly, "I'm not going. There might be spies from various factions in Jiangting Village right now, just waiting for me to show up. I'd better not cause Uncle Li and Aunt Li any trouble."

Su Yue didn't say anything, and that was indeed the case.

Su Yue turned to look at Qi Yu, looking hesitant. After a moment's thought, she finally decided to speak.

"My lord, there is something I hesitated to tell you, but I still want to!" Su Yue said softly.

Qi Yu tilted his head slightly, asking in confusion, "What is it? Do you actually have another identity? No more nesting dolls!"

The originally somber atmosphere lightened up with Qi Yu's teasing tone.

Su Yue rolled her eyes helplessly. She was trying to talk to him about serious things, but why couldn't her husband be serious for once?

"Father sent word that he has found something that can repair your meridians, but..."

Su Yue paused, then gritted her teeth and said, "However, that thing is at Qingyun Academy. The dean of Qingyun Academy will only agree to lend it to you if you go there in person!"

Qi Yu pursed his lips, somewhat speechless. Qingyun Academy!

The Confucian school now has many first and second-rank Confucian scholars, and it is even said to have the most martial artists among all the schools, with students all over the world.

But unfortunately, Confucianism just can't produce any masters, supposedly because of some weird talent problem.

Qi Yu didn't understand talent very well. He hadn't studied Confucian techniques, so even though he possessed talent, and it had even materialized, he still didn't know how to use it.

His use of talent was limited to simply strengthening the ice sword he had condensed, adding some additional attributes and combat power.

So simplistic it defies description!

He has mastered the use of righteous energy, but it is necessary to consume righteous energy when using Taoist techniques.

The skills of "using one's mind for a thousand purposes," "shrinking the earth to an inch," and "observing qi" all require the support of righteous qi.

Although some extraordinary techniques can be performed without using righteous energy, the difference is enormous.

Without using righteous energy, relying solely on righteous energy and willpower to perform "One Mind, One Thousand Uses" would only allow Qi Yu to last a maximum of five minutes.

He tried to use his talent instead of righteousness to activate Taoist magic, only to find, tragically, that while it worked, it still consumed a great deal of energy.

Each faction's unique techniques have corresponding cultivation manuals. If the technique is suitable, the results will be twice as good with half the effort; if the technique is unsuitable, the results will be half as good with twice the effort.

"The Confucians! What are they up to now!"

Qi Yu murmured to himself. He didn't have a very good impression of Qingyun Academy, and he was somewhat reluctant to meet them.

Su Yue knew that Qi Yu was somewhat resistant to Qingyun Academy, so she was hesitating whether or not to tell Qi Yu.

Chapter 212 Things Have Changed

Do Confucians need to see themselves?

After pondering for a moment, Qi Yu said, "Let's meet them then, but it's impossible for me to travel tens of thousands of miles to the Great Qi Kingdom to find them. Let's see if we can send a representative to negotiate!"

The Confucianists wanted something from me, but all I needed was to borrow their things.

They have a choice, but they don't.

If you don't want their things, you can find other repairable items to replace them.

On the other hand, things are different. Now, they can't find anyone to replace them except themselves.

……

The house that Su Chengying bought is located next to Qingxin Lake, nestled against the mountains and beside the water. The scenery here is beautiful and very pleasant.

Qi Yu had been to this house before and heard that it was used as a vacation home by a wealthy businessman, but he never expected it to belong to Su Chengying.

But now it's also a good deal for me. This place is nestled against the mountains and by the water, and it's summer now, so it really is a great place to escape the heat.

After seeing that Su Yue was settled, Qi Yu went to Jiangting Village.

However, he has already disguised himself and no longer has a dantian, so he looks like an ordinary person. He is going to investigate the situation at Yunyu Academy.

By the way... look for that salted fish from the Mo family!

Many of the things I think of can only be understood by him, and he can help me optimize them.

This is a rare talent; it's a shame he's been just coasting along at Yunyu Academy.

His power is indispensable for me to deal with the Purple Qi Pavilion and the Heavenly Edge Sea Pavilion.

Jiangting Village is no longer the poor mountain village it once was. Mansions have sprung up, expanding outwards from Yunyu Academy.

The small mountain village, which originally had fewer than thirty households, now has several hundred households, most of which are wealthy.

Qi Yu looked at this scene and could only shake his head with a wry smile. This must be what school district housing is all about.

Land in Jiangting Village is now extremely valuable because Yunyu Academy is located there; the closer you are to Yunyu Academy, the more expensive the land becomes.
