Wandering Sword Seller's Life in the Qin Dynasty

Everything was related to the Qin state's conquest of Han. When Qin's war chariots rolled over the land of Han, the situation of the world had already changed.

The Qin state has always been ambitious. The destruction of Han was only the first step. Next, the states of Zhao, Wei, and Chu will likely not escape their fate.

In this process, the net, as a weapon of the Qin state, naturally had to take action, whether it was to infiltrate and spy or to assassinate important officials of the enemy state. In short, it had to do something.

If you do nothing, then it's not a snare.

Within the Luo Wang organization, top-tier assassins are extremely rare, numbering only a handful in the entire organization.

Xuan Jian had previously been someone with an extremely high mission completion rate, and even an important mission like hunting down "Cheng Jiao" was entrusted to him, which shows how much the Luo Wang trusted him.

Such an assassin wasting his time in the comfortable land of Qi would not be tolerated by the headquarters of Luo Wang.

Xu Qing even felt that if he were the leader of Luo Wang, he would mobilize Xuan Jian and send him to carry out more important tasks, instead of letting him waste his time in Qi.

Getting back to the main point, Xu Qing could easily suppress even Xuan Jian back then, so he didn't take any of the assassins who came to Qi Kingdom seriously.

In Linzi, on the land of Qi, he was the one in control of the situation.

If Luo Wang is sensible and doesn't provoke him, he wouldn't mind letting this stronghold continue to exist. After all, keeping this stronghold allows him to learn about Luo Wang's movements from the side.

However, if someone is unaware of the situation and tries to disrupt his plans, he could destroy this stronghold of the Net in an instant.

Ultimately, the Luo Wang organization only dared to operate in the shadows.

An assassin organization from the Qin state, through assassinations and infiltration, has made many forces in the world live in fear.

However, if it dares to expose itself to the light, even though Qi and Qin are on good terms, they will absolutely not tolerate such an organization existing on Qi's soil, in the city of Linzi.

Once the Luo Wang (a powerful organization) is exposed, Chancellor Hou Sheng and King Tian Jian of Qi will certainly be the first to take action to wipe it out. They will never allow the Qin forces to run rampant in the capital of Qi.

Life at the Prime Minister's residence was extremely peaceful.

Time passed, day by day.

On this day, Xu Qing received another invitation to meet.

But it was not a snare, but An Qisheng.

"The island that Mr. Qing had someone find has been settled."

Upon seeing Xu Qing, An Qisheng immediately spoke to her.

"Oh?"

Xu Qing looked at An Qisheng, waiting for his answer.

An Qisheng explained to Xu Qing, "After Mr. Qing added some additional conditions, we spent a long time screening and finally found a suitable island."

"If you have time, Mr. Qing, you can go out to sea to take a look."

Although that's what he said, deep down, An Qisheng really couldn't understand Xu Qing's behavior.

Even though Xu Qing had explained the reason beforehand, he didn't want the sword he forged to fall into the hands of others too easily. He wanted others to go through eighty-one tribulations before bestowing the divine sword upon him.

However, the search for the island alone took a long time, and he also ordered people to spread rumors throughout the land.

Once the island is identified, buildings will be constructed on it.

Isn't this troublesome?

"We definitely need to go out to sea and take a look!"

Xu Qing nodded.

He was still quite curious about the world overseas.

This world is clearly not a normal world. Taoist priests frequently set sail in search of immortal mountains and immortals. Although they have never actually found them, there are many legends left from ancient times.

Ancient records state that in ancient times, there were immortals who practiced alchemy and cultivation on overseas immortal mountains, but later, for some unknown reason, all the immortals disappeared.

Under such circumstances, no one can say for sure whether there are truly immortal mountains in the overseas world.

Perhaps those legends about overseas mythical mountains are true.

Of course, the island that Xu Qing asked An Qisheng to find was only in the near sea area, far from the legendary fairy mountain, but even so, Xu Qing still had a great interest in his own island.

After leaving An Qisheng, a date for setting sail was set.

Xu Qing then found another item in the mansion.

Upon seeing this object, he suddenly had an idea and called out to Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai.

"Take a look, see if you can figure anything out."

The bamboo scroll, which many people considered extremely precious, was casually handed out by Xu Qing, who seemed completely unconcerned.

Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai were also taken aback when they saw the bamboo slips, not understanding what Xu Qing wanted them to comprehend.

They took the bamboo slips and then spread them out.

As the bamboo slips were opened, a magnificent and ancient aura emanated from them, causing both of them to tremble simultaneously. This aura was so profound, as if it had carried the weight of a thousand years, that it involuntarily aroused their reverence.

However, when they looked closely at the bamboo slips, they saw nothing.

The entire scroll of bamboo slips was blank, without a single word.

This startled them again, and they exchanged bewildered glances. Without a doubt, judging from the ancient aura emanating from the bamboo slips, these were no ordinary objects. But why were there no words on them?

The two sisters, who were of one mind, immediately exchanged a glance and simultaneously began to practice their techniques.

Xiao Hei was enveloped in a black aura, swirling like ink mist, while Xiao Bai emanated a white aura, as gentle as moonlight. Their auras intertwined, forming a black and white light screen that enveloped the bamboo slip, attempting to use profound techniques to uncover its true nature.

However, no matter how hard they tried to activate their profound skills, the bamboo slip remained blank. Although the ancient aura was present, it remained unchanged. The two exhausted all their abilities, circulating their internal energy for a full half hour, until most of their internal strength was depleted, but they still couldn't glean anything from the bamboo slip.

After hesitating for a moment, Xiao Bai withdrew his profound skills and bowed to Xu Qing, saying, "Sir, we... haven't figured anything out."

Her tone carried a hint of guilt, as if she had let Xu Qing down.

"It seems you two are not meant to be!"

Xu Qing learned the answer and calmly said something.

However, he didn't explain much, nor did he tell Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai that this item was the Yellow Stone Heavenly Book, which only those with the right destiny could comprehend, and that it was made by Chu Nan Gong, a master of the Yin-Yang School.

After retrieving the Yellow Stone Heavenly Book, Xu Qing waved his hand, signaling Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai to leave temporarily.

Then he took the Yellow Stone Book and opened it again.

Once in the Yunmeng Marsh, Chu Nan Gong temporarily gave this item to Xu Qing for three years. Chu Nan Gong didn't know if Xu Qing could comprehend anything within those three years, but he stated that he would personally come to take it back after three years.

Since obtaining the Yellow Stone Heavenly Book, Xu Qing has actually studied it quite a bit.

However, he and this object did not have much of a connection.

In his eyes, the Yellow Stone Heavenly Book was a blank book, containing no words at all.

Even though his strength continued to improve and he had reached the pinnacle, he still couldn't see through its true nature.

Clearly, the fate of the Yellow Stone Book is not based on strength.

But now, he wants to try again.

After becoming a fourth-tier swordsmith, he gained many new abilities.

We can use certain methods to thoroughly investigate the origins of "swords" and trace the historical traces that exist on them.

In the art of swordsmanship, there exists a supreme realm where grass, trees, bamboo, and rocks can all be used as swords.

So, can the "Yellow Stone Book" before us also be defined as a sword?

Xu Qing kept hypnotizing herself in her mind.

He kept telling himself this.

This is a sword!

This is a sword!

This is not a bamboo slip, but a uniquely shaped sword.

Although it was difficult to completely deceive himself, Xu Qing was still quite adept at using this special ability.

As his special ability is activated.

In an instant, the magnificent power accumulated over the years on the Yellow Stone Heavenly Book was activated and became even stronger.

The surrounding void also distorted in an instant.

Outside, Little Black and Little White have been guarding this place the whole time.

Although she knew Xu Qing was highly skilled, as a maid, there were still some duties she had to perform properly, even if they didn't seem to have any practical effect.

After sensing the power emanating from outside, the two sisters exchanged a glance, wanting to say something, but not knowing where to begin.

inside the house.

Xu Qing uses the method of peeking into the origin of swords to trace the history above the Yellow Stone Book.

Soon, the first mark was perceived by it.

That was a mark he was extremely familiar with, originating from Chu Nan Gong.

Chu Nan Gong is the true owner of the Yellow Stone Heavenly Book. He has studied the Yellow Stone Heavenly Book for many years and gained insights from it. Naturally, he is the one destined to receive the Heavenly Book and it is not surprising that he can leave his own mark on it.

Upon seeing the brand, Xu Qing's gaze immediately sharpened. He carefully sensed the brand and quickly gained some insights from it.

Since one cannot comprehend the mysteries of the Heavenly Book oneself, it is possible to comprehend the imprints left by those who have comprehended it.

Although there was an extra layer of connection involved, there was still something gained in the end.

Chapter 212 The Heavenly Book Contains the Dao, the Eastern Emperor's Thoughts Arise

The land of Chu.

Chu Nan Gong remained here and did not choose to go to other countries.

This is his homeland, and even though he is very old, he still has a special feeling for this country.

In addition, after obtaining the "Mysterious Pivot Sword" and comprehending his own path, he wanted even more to transform this land that nurtured him into the Great Dao and record it all.

During this period, Chu Nan Gong did not continue to choose seclusion as before, but instead actively engaged in the world, spreading his knowledge. As a result, the reputation of Chu Nan Gong, a sage from Chu, continued to spread.

Because of his teachings, Chu Nan Gong's own path became more and more perfect, and his strength continued to improve.

However, for him, the improvement of his strength was secondary; the most important thing was that he perfected his Dao.
