Chapter 113 - 91: The Ancient Leather Book That Can’t Be Understood, Xie Lingfeng is Here_2
He was sighing inside.
Suddenly, he had a thought.
“Brother Xu once said that he borrowed from Emperor Qi’s palace to temper his mind and improve himself… can I too? To enhance my mental state, to clear my self, only then do 1 have a chance to understand the heart of my sword.
“Only by understanding the heart of the sword could 1 step into the true Sword
Dao!”
With this thought, Xie Lingfeng became restless.
Immediately, he sought out Emperor Qi to borrow his palace beauties to refine his mindset, perhaps there would be rewards.
“Exalted one, do you have any instructions?”
Upon hearing that Xie Lingfeng intended to meet him, Emperor Qi was overjoyed.
The opportunity had come!
Could he acquire the Martial Arts Method?
Xie Lingfeng gave Emperor Qi a glance and for a while, found it difficult to speak. After all, borrowing someone else’s palace to temper one’s mind seemed somewhat difficult and awkward. He was shy and honestly didn’t know how to bring it up.
Seeing his difficulty, Emperor Qi was even more delighted, eagerly asking, “Exalted one, if you have a request, just ask, I will do my utmost to fulfill it!”
“In that case, I will say it outright.”
Hearing this, Xie Lingfeng thought, since Xu Yan had borrowed his harem to temper his mind, it wouldn’t be much to Emperor Qi, right?
So he said: “Indeed, I have recently intended to temper my mind. 1 once heard Brother Xu mention that he borrowed the beauties of Emperor Qi’s harem for this purpose. It was very effective, hence my visit.”
Damn!
In his heart, Emperor Qi cursed: “What kind of crappy exalted master is this? Is he going to learn from that little Xu Yan?”
“That’s my harem! They’re my concubines! How dare he use them to cultivate his mind?”
“What does he take me for?
“This is too much, 1 can’t take it anymore!”
Yet on the outside, his smile remained unchanged. He gave a big wave of his hand and said boldly, “Oh, is that all? Just training your mind. A small matter, a small matter.”
“Call the servants! Announce my decree, let my consorts dance, help the exalted one to refine his mind.”
Emperor Qi directly gave the order.
Xie Lingfeng was instantly moved. Emperor Qi was magnanimous and righteous. No wonder Xu Yan didn’t rebel.
Such a generous and righteous emperor is rare.
With a grateful face, he clasped his fists and said, “Your majesty is righteous. I am eternally grateful!”
“Not at all, it’s my honor to assist a nobleman!”
Emperor Qi retorted, feigning nonchalance.
Internally, he had long cursed Xie Lingfeng a thousand times over.
The harem was bustling.
Emperor Qi’s concubines were dancing their hearts out, hoping to catch the eye of the exalted one and rise to the top.
Rather than waiting in the palace for Emperor Qi’s favor, it’s better to seize the opportunity to become the close companion of a Martial Arts Nobleman, vastly superior to being emperor’s side consort.
Xie Lingfeng sat on the wall, staring at Emperor Qi’s concubines and sighing, “Indeed, these are the beauties of a monarch’s harem, all with their unique grace and charm.
“But, how am I going to temper my mind?”
“Right, having no woman in my heart would mean 1 can’t be moved by beauty.”
After watching for a while, Xie Lingfeng found it unbearable, after all, he was young and vigorous.
He ran off.
“Slow down, I must slow down!”
In his study, Emperor Qi wore a black face, feeling as if his hair was turning green.
“What happened?”
He asked in a deep voice.
The Chief Steward responded, “The exalted one watched for a while, then left, but after less than half an hour, he returned and continued watching, then left again…”
“Did he do anything?”
“Nothing, he watched for a shorter time than Xu Yan did.”
Upon hearing this, Emperor Qi felt somewhat relieved.
But for some reason, he also felt regretful, not being able to send off a consort.
If a consort was sent out and the exalted one accepted, he couldn’t just enjoy the benefits without giving anything in return, right?
Damn it!
Emperor Qi cursed in his heart, “I’m the emperor, how can 1 be so disgraced!”
Holding it in was so frustrating!
The affair at the harem couldn’t be kept secret, and when the ministers learned of it, they looked at Emperor Qi strangely.
Emperor Qi was furious inside.
What kind of exalted one is this? Xu Yan brought all of this!
Thinking of this, Emperor Qi was furious and ordered: “Arrest my rebellious son! I will personally administer thirty hard slaps!”
The Chief Steward carefully said, “Your Majesty, the Crown Prince left the capital yesterday.”
Emperor Qi fell silent.
The Crown Prince, who had originally been muddling through things, was scared pale when he heard the news of the exalted one visiting the harem.
This exalted one was brought by him.
Estimating that he was going to be spanked again, he fled the capital in a hurry. He couldn’t stay in the capital any longer.
Xie Lingfeng felt that his mindset had improved a little, he was no longer so moved by beauty, and that day, Guo Rongshan brought him news.
Xu Yan’s master, the mysterious exalted one, was willing to meet him.
Overjoyed, he immediately set off with Hu Shan, heading for East River County to meet the exalted one!
“Young Master, have you been sleeping around with the concubines of Emperor Qi in these past few days?”
Hu Shan asked curiously.
Xie Lingfeng’s face darkened, saying, “Don’t talk nonsense. Am I someone who would do such a thing? I went there to temper my mindset.”
Hu Shan wore a skeptical look on his face.
“Young Master, how did you temper your mindset?”
Xie Lingfeng perked up, saying, “In the past few days, I’ve made some progress.
1 am not far from reaching a mindset devoid of thoughts of women.”
Hu Shan: ???
“Hu Shan, you wouldn’t understand. This state of mind can only be understood, not described. Once you comprehend it, the path of the Sword Dao will lay right before your eyes.”
Xie Lingfeng yearned in his heart.
Without stopping, the two journeyed from the capital to Yunshan County in Donghe Prefecture.
Outside Yunshan County, Xu Yan and Meng Chong were waiting.
“Brother Xie!
Xie Lingfeng and his companion arrived.
“Brother Xu, thank you!”
Xie Lingfeng said earnestly.
“It’s nothing.”
Xu Yan patted Meng Chong’s shoulder, saying, “Let me introduce you, this is my junior brother, Meng Chong.”
“So you are Brother Meng, pleased to meet you!”
Xie Lingfeng and his companion greeted with a clenched fist.
“We should spar when we have the chance.”
Meng Chong said, eager to try.
“Sure!
it
Xie Lingfeng nodded.
Inwardly, he was astounded. Meng Chong gave off the impression of a fierce beast, extremely ferocious. Even without fighting, he could sense that Meng Chong’s physique was stronger than steel. He feared that even a first-class martial artist from the Inner Realm would have difficulty breaking through his physical defense.
“This is the essence of martial arts. With just his physical body, he could probably take on a first-class martial artist, right?”
Xie Lingfeng was secretly shocked.
In the courtyard, Li Xuan lounged on a chair, playing with Jade Ruyi.
Xie Lingfeng and Hu Shan were about to arrive.
He was on the verge of obtaining the Inner Realm Cultivation Technique.
Xie Lingfeng and Hu Shan, both Grandmaster Martial Artists, hail from the great power of Jianzun Ya. Their cultivation techniques are by no means ordinary in the Inner Realm, they are at the pinnacle.
Finally, he could get a glimpse of the Inner Realm Martial Arts technique and refer to it for his own martial arts.
The Blood Demon Skill was after all a demonic skill and not complete. Although it had its advantages, it was ultimately limited.
They’re here!
Li Xuan made himself even more comfortable, a mysterious aura emerged. The Jade Ruyi in his hand also seemed to become mysterious.
“Brother Xie, please,” urged Xu Yan, as he opened the door.
Xie Lingfeng and Hu Shan were tense, finally about to meet this mysterious expert.
Taking a deep breath, they stepped through the door.
As soon as they stepped in, Xie Lingfeng and Hu Shan were stunned, their faces full of shock.
In the yard, a young man lounged in a chair, playing with Jade Ruyi with tranquility. At his sight, they felt as if beholding a sacred light, enveloping the young man.
The light was mysterious, inscrutable, and lofty, unreachable. He seemed to transcend the world, as if sitting outside time.
In that instant, Xie Lingfeng and Hu Shan were all stunned.
An expert!
A peerless expert!
They could not help but kneeled down.
“Xie Lingfeng (Hu Shan) pays respect to the senior!”
Bang, bang, bang!
They knocked their heads hard three times.
Xu Yan and Meng Chong were stunned.
Such grand gestures when they arrived?
The force of their kowtow was even greater than when they were initiated.
They even left two small pits on the ground!
Looking at their master, he was as inscrutable as ever.
Li Xuan was pleased. This mysterious aura was really powerful. It actually had such an effect.
“Rise,” he said flatly, without any hint of emotion.
“Yes, senior!”
Xie Lingfeng and Hu Shan stood up reverently, daring not to even breathe heavily.
But they were extremely excited in their hearts.
What a great opportunity!
With guidance from such an expert, they were sure to benefit greatly!
