Bengtie: A Genius's Out-of-the-Domain Idea

Wasn't it just supposed to be running errands? No wonder the teacher specifically warned Jingyuan to be wary of ordering people around.

Zhu Xing shook his head swiftly. This hot goat milk from Shence Prefecture is too expensive: "No way~ I can't beat them, and I'm not good at fighting. Besides, I'm only 12 this year! General Jingyuan, don't you have a conscience about employing child laborers to do such dangerous work?"

Jing Yuan: "Haha, Miss Zhuxing misunderstands. I would not let you put yourself in danger. I just heard that the Envoy of Joy has a special perception of people's hearts. Joy, anger, sorrow and happiness cannot escape his eyes and ears. Therefore, I would like to ask Miss Zhuxing to confirm whether some key people have been possessed by Huanlong. After all, this Great Lord of Annihilation is Suiyang."

Even the judges of the Ten Kings' Court, who are at the level of messengers, might not be able to investigate.

For adversaries that lean towards the spiritual realm, memories, pleasure, and nothingness are the most suitable targets.

Jing Yuan remained calm and confident: "Jing Yuan hereby guarantees that even if something happens to me, I will not let you be in danger."

It's unclear where Jingyuan's confidence comes from.

Zhu Xing: "Alright~ I agree, but there has to be a list, right? I can't possibly check the entire Immortal Ship."

Jing Yuan handed over a jade tablet: "This jade tablet contains the names of 1372 people, all of whom are key members of the Immortal Ship who have recently entered and exited the Immortal Ship and have access to the Six Emperors' secrets."

At this moment, Tingyun gracefully entered the backyard of the Shence Mansion.

"I wonder what important matter you have that has led you to summon me by name?"

Jing Yuan waved his hand: "You've come at the perfect time. Tingyun is very tactful. She was the one who received your master when he came to the Immortal Ship last time. Let her accompany you this time."

"Consider it an exploration and sightseeing trip, and all expenses will be covered by the Shence Mansion."

Tingyun: "I see. I accept your order. But General, Lord Yukong didn't reimburse the expenses from last time."

Jing Yuan was somewhat puzzled: "Oh? Why is that? The Sky-Driving Commander shouldn't be holding you back with such a small patrol. Never mind, I'll inform the Sky-Driving Commander."

(Yu Kong: You mean he's a man and he bought a lot of cosmetics, including tail care products?)

Tingyun: That's right!

Zhu Xing was suspicious. Last time, it seemed that the teacher had specially given this fox-person, Tingyun, a pocket watch, which, upon closer inspection, seemed to correspond perfectly with Huanlong. Now, Jingyuan had arranged for Tingyun to accompany her in receiving guests...

Could there be some scheme involved that she's unaware of?

Never mind, it's not a big problem. Just consider it protecting another burden.

Zhu Xing's ears twitched slightly: "Ahem~ So that's all, right?" She had heard the commotion from Youxia Garden and wanted to go see what was going on.

Jing Yuan smiled and said, "That's all for now."

Zhu Xing put his hands on his hips and said, "What do you mean 'temporarily'? Never mind~ I'm in a hurry to watch the show, so I'll take my leave first. General Jing Yuan, you and Dan Heng can chat for now."

Zhu Xing grabbed Ting Yun's hand and ran off in a flash: "Hey you? Sister Ting Yun, let's go!"

Lin Yi, who was secretly watching, nodded. At least he knew to bring a mobile wallet.

Dan Heng: "And what about me? What does General Jingyuan need me to do?"

Jing Yuan: "Open the seal on the Jianmu Mystic Root, and work with the Construction Bureau, the Ten Kings Bureau, and the Chiming Clan to study a plan to modify the seal. At the very least, the right to open and close the seal must be handed over to the Immortal Ship."

"Unless you are willing to return to the Immortal Ship, then you can save yourself all this trouble. I will report to the Marshal. In special circumstances, no one will object."

Dan Heng refused decisively: "No need. I am just an unknown guest now. General Jing Yuan, is there anything else? Please say it all at once."

Jing Yuan sighed inwardly; he was just trying it out without much expectation.

Jing Yuan: "The Ming Dynasty is in turmoil. Even today, there are still many of your old followers who support you. They do not recognize Bai Lu Long Nu and have been hoping for your restoration. You can only keep your return to Luofu a secret for a while, not forever."

"There are undercurrents within the Chiming sect sooner or later, and these are caused by you and by Danfeng. Although they may be somewhat domineering and unreasonable."

"But if you truly want to break free from the influence of the Immortal Ship and sever all ties with it, you can't avoid these old stories—"

Dan Heng remained silent: "I will go and take a look, but I can't guarantee the outcome, after all, I am still an outsider now."

Jing Yuan stared intently at Dan Heng: "If you are unwilling to return, then at least transfer the responsibility of teaching and caring for Bai Lu Long Nu to the Shence Mansion. The Immortal Ship no longer trusts the Dragon Master Council of Luofu."

This is very important. The Dragon Masters are basically humanoid beings, and Jing Yuan was always worried about entrusting Bai Lu to them. This was both out of public concern for the future of the Immortal Ship and out of personal concern for his old friend Bai Heng.

But every time they tried to intervene, the Dragon Masters would always use the excuse of "internal affairs of the Dharma Masters" to shirk their responsibilities.

They used the promise made during their past oath—"not to interfere with the inheritance and growth of the Vidyadhara Dragon Lord"—to exert pressure.

But Danheng is different. He has enough say in this matter. Originally, it was not certain, but after he possessed the complete Dragon Lord inheritance, Luofu Chiming basically had no room to refuse.

The Vidyadharas are a feudal race with a very strict hierarchy, and the Dragon Lord's bloodline pressure on ordinary Vidyadharas is unimaginable to other races.

Danheng: "...I will do my best."

Jing Yuan: "I will have Yan Qing accompany you. He can represent my will and avoid unnecessary trouble. At the same time, I hope you can give him some guidance during the trip."

Chapter 183 Super Generation

"Yanqing is exceptionally talented, surpassing even myself at the same age, but ultimately lacks knowledge and experience. The nameless traveler must have seen and heard a great deal; he needs some guidance."

Yanqing immediately clasped his hands in a respectful bow, giving Danheng no time to refuse: "Yanqing greets Teacher Danheng, and hopes that Teacher Danheng will give me more guidance in the future."

Dan Heng: "I don't understand swords..."

Danheng's understanding of swords is limited to the blade. If the sword-breaking techniques he developed by being entangled and hunted by the blade can be considered, then that's a bit of a stretch.

Yanqing: "All weapons lead to the same goal. With Master Danheng's superb martial arts skills and insightful guidance, Yanqing will surely make progress as well."

Dan Heng tacitly agreed.

Excellent. When March comes, I will become Yanqing's apprentice and learn swordsmanship. The seniority of the train crew will be completely messed up, and Danheng will be overjoyed to receive a super seniority boost.

Jing Yuan watched Dan Heng and Yan Qing leave, and just as they were about to step out, Jing Yuan called out to Dan Heng: "I already know that the genius from 'Shenxiao Space City' has completed the Dragon Lord's inheritance for you. I've also been observing your inner self just now, and it is indeed profound and complete, so there shouldn't be any mistake. But I still want to ask one more question—"

Jing Yuan's voice trembled slightly: "Is the Dragon Lord's inheritance truly complete? Has the broken mirror been mended?"

Danheng: "From my own senses... yes!"

"I can fully sense the form of the Azure Dragon at the source of my bloodline, and I can also vaguely glimpse the majestic dragon body of the Dragon Ancestor through the imprint of my bloodline."

"This was impossible before."

Jingyuan: "Understood."

No one knows what Jingyuan is thinking at this moment...

After Danheng and Yanqing also left, only Jingyuan and the two cubs remained on the field. Lin Yi's projection appeared on the stone chessboard on which the star map had just been projected.

Jing Yuan: "Mr. Lin Yi, our plan is nearing completion!"

Lin Yi: "Hmm, but where did the real Tingyun Pavilion go?"

Jing Yuan: "They are in the Shence Mansion's personal guards and will accompany Jing Yuan on the expedition."

"Mr. Lin Yi, please forgive my bluntness, but I'm curious, how did you know that Huanlong might replace Tingyun?"

Lin Yi, without changing his expression, blurted out: "I've read the script for Star Core Hunter. That's what it says in Elio's script. You can trust it. If it doesn't work, there's no loss, right?"

Hua does need to return to Xuling, but Lin Yi can help clear a path and send her back directly; it'll only take a blink of an eye.

Why not use the saved return journey time to ambush Huanlong?

Currently, only Jingyuan, Hua, Linyi, and Tingyun know about this.

Huanlong is no ordinary person; the fewer people who know about him, the better. As for what to do if Huanlong doesn't replace Tingyun?

If you don't want to replace it, then don't. It's just a try anyway, and it'll only take a little time.

Lin Yi: "Actually, there's an even better way. Before the war even starts, Luo Fu can directly drive to 'Traltkutli,' saving us the trouble of defending both sides. Huanlong can come if he wants, or not if he doesn't."

Jing Yuan shook his head and sighed: "If I were still young, perhaps I would have chosen this method to ensure safety."

"Unfortunately, I am old. There's an old saying on the Immortal Ship—'It's not the theft itself that's worrisome, but the thief's eye on it.' Jing Yuan still has the strength, the Marshal is on the Immortal Ship, and we have the 'Divine Firmament Space City' as strong reinforcements. Naturally, we must try to eliminate this hidden danger once and for all."

"If one seeks comfort today, Jingyuan would be quite content. However, Jingyuan's lifespan is short, while Huanlong's is long. With the protection of geniuses, 'Shenxiao Space City' will surely remain evergreen."

"But 'Luofu' is not an option. If Jingyuan becomes powerless one day, and the Marshal returns to Xuling, without 'Shenxiao Space City' as a strong ally, all the pressure will fall on Fu Qing."

Jing Yuan's tone became loud and certain: "Rather than having Fu Qing become a general in the future and still have to be on guard day and night, it would be better for Jing Yuan to take advantage of this opportunity when the enemy is in the open and we are in the dark to eliminate this Jue Mie Da Jun who covets the Jianmu."

Jing Yuan's words were sincere and heartfelt. He had taken over Luofu, a mess, and had struggled to keep it afloat until now, so he was very clear about that feeling.

Therefore, they were unwilling to leave the mess to Fu Xuan. Fu Xuan's abilities were sufficient to qualify him for the position of general, but his temperament was still somewhat lacking.

Jingyuan felt that he should at least ensure that Luofu would enjoy peace for a hundred years, free from internal and external troubles.

Giving it to Fu Xuan also gives the new generation of Luofu time to grow.

He had high hopes for Yanqing, a child with extraordinary talent. At such a young age, he had already surpassed 99.9% of the people on the Immortal Boat. Apart from a few old guys, there were very few who could compete with him.

(Unfortunately, Yanqing hits that 0.01% target every time.)

Given a hundred years to grow, practice martial arts, temper his character, and broaden his horizons by encountering all sorts of extraordinary people and events.

Even if he doesn't win the sword trial, he's more than capable of serving as the swordsman of "Luofu" and will definitely become Fu Xuan's right-hand man.

Bai Lu is a real problem... can she really grow into a qualified Dragon Lord?

Jing Yuan had little confidence in himself.

Lin Yi understood immediately after hearing this: "Luofu is truly fortunate to have General Jingyuan."

Jing Yuan shook his head, not accepting Lin Yi's praise: "Jing Yuan was just doing what a Celestial General of the Immortal Ship should do."

"Mr. Lin Yi, Jing Yuan has another request."

Jing Yuan suddenly knelt on one knee, and Lin Yi's projection dodged away.

Lin Yi frowned: "Let's talk this out. Don't try this. Otherwise, I'm leaving right now."

After a long pause, Jing Yuan finally stood up: "Mr. Lin Yi is truly remarkable, worthy of being called a genius of the 'Genius Club,' managing to complete the split Dragon Lord inheritance within Dan Heng."

"The lack of the Dragon Lord's inheritance has always been a thorn in Luofu's side, and most of the cracks within Luofu can be said to have originated from it."

Jing Yuan bowed deeply and said, "I, Jing Yuan, humbly request Mr. Lin Yi to help Luo Fu and assist the White Dew Dragon Girl in perfecting and completing the Dragon Lord's legacy."

Jing Yuan bowed again: "As long as Mr. Lin Yi is willing to lend a helping hand, Luofu, no, the entire alliance, will grant you whatever you desire."

The chaos of the Moon Drinking Incident damaged the legacy of the Wisdom Dragon Lord of the Luofu Immortal Ship, which has become a thorn in Jing Yuan's side, a shadow over Luofu, and a thorn in the side of the "Immortal Ship Alliance".

It stands as a small rift in the alliance between the Wisdom Clan and the Immortal Ship.

Originally, the Immortal Boat had no other choice. Even a broken mirror cannot be mended, let alone the Dragon Lord's legacy.

All we can do is try our best to cover it up and make amends.

But Lin Yi brought about a change; he truly mended the broken mirror and repaired Danheng's legacy.

This is a symbol of hope, going from 0 to 1. Jing Yuan's statement that the alliance can take whatever it wants is not an exaggeration. This is also the meaning of the Marshal's tacit approval.

Moreover, the news hasn't spread yet. When those dragon masters see Danheng, and when the Vidyadharas learn of this news, they will become even more frenzied.

The Immortal Boat Alliance originally assessed Lin Yi as a genius who could be won over and befriended at a cost.

We should respond to goodwill, explore connections, try to win over partners, seek cooperation, and achieve win-win results.

However, since Danheng's transformation, he has become someone for whom the Immortal Boat is willing to maintain and win over at all costs.

If the Dragon Master knew that Danheng's inheritance was complete, I wonder how crazy he would go (?ω?)

Chapter 184 Fu Xuan Plus

Lin Yi sighed. He had guessed that this would happen. He also knew how important the Dragon Lord's inheritance was to the Immortal Ship. Who knew that this experiment would go so smoothly and succeed on the first try?

Normally, research of this difficulty could take decades or even centuries of trial and error. This is because it involves the Star Gods.

However, this only benefits Lin Yi.

Now we need to state the difficulty first and then ask for what we need. Lin Yi's previous idea of ​​integrating the Dragon Lord's legacy as a lever to move the supreme dragon can no longer be just an idea.

Lin Yi: "Do you want me to tell you the truth? Bai Lu and Dan Heng are in completely different situations. You know which part of the Dragon Lord's inheritance Bai Lu and Dan Heng are in charge of respectively."

"For Danheng, I was able to replace the half of the healing inheritance with the power of abundance. Abundance is gentle and altruistic. In addition, abundance and immortality are of the same origin, and I was lucky enough to do so. In this way, Danheng also experienced pain that was probably far greater than the shedding of scales."

"And what about Bailu? What she lacks is the destructive aspect that symbolizes the Dragon Lord's combat power. What can I use to make up for that? Nanuk's golden blood? Or the essence of a higher-ranking dragon descendant?"

"Even if you have the materials, they are not as gentle as abundance, nor as suitable for healing as abundance."

"All of the previous methods cannot be copied and replicated; we need to try them one by one again."

"The pain during this process far exceeds that of Dan Heng by a thousand times. General Jing Yuan, do you really think that Bai Lu Long Nu can withstand it?"

“A broken mirror cannot be mended. I merely acted as a skilled craftsman, restoring the broken mirror of Danheng to its original state as if inlaid with gold and jade.”

"Besides the craftsman's superb skills, the fact that the broken mirror 'Danheng' itself is tough enough is also a major reason. As for Bailu Longnu... her temperament and resilience are far inferior."

Jing Yuan's expression darkened upon hearing this; he was aware of Bai Lu's situation. Bai Lu was only suited to be a healer and the leader of the Pill Refining Division; she was far from becoming the Dragon Lord who could subdue the Chiming Clan.
