Chapter 5: They are here for the Emperor's Blood Ring
"You mean, let me pretend to be a mentally ill person and communicate with someone who pretends to be mentally ill?"
Yun Chengxing couldn't help but sigh, it is really the big thing in the world, there are no surprises, there is such a strange thing.
"It sounds a little strange, but that's pretty much what it means...", Ann Li nodded.
"Xiaoxing, don't you know a little qigong?" Lin Yiyi was also speaking for An Li on the side, obviously they are very good friends, "You can help my friend once..."
"Hmm..."
Yun Chengxing sorted out the situation described by An Li, and he carefully recalled the records about the Lanyun Ancient Kingdom that he had seen in the book when he was in the Qianxuan Continent before.
In memory, the history of the Qianxuan Continent has recorded that in the ancient period five hundred years ago, the ancient kingdom of Lanyun was bounded by Taixu Bay and divided into north and south. The capital is located in the southern blue city of "Ice Heart City". Due to the separation between the north and the south of the ancient kingdom, the atmosphere of the two places is completely different, and compared with the solemn imperial monarchy system in the southern regions, the northern regions advocate democracy and freedom. As a result, the ancient powers of the northern and southern regions, led by the imperial family and the Northern Revolutionary Army, often launched large-scale wars or disputes.
The reason for the dispute is not only for the other half of the land, but also for the treasure handed down from the primeval era - the "Emperor's Blood Ring". Legend has it that a thousand years ago in the early days of the establishment of the Lanyun Ancient Kingdom, there was an "Infinite Xuan Emperor" on the Thousand Xuan Continent who broke through the limit of the Xuan Qi realm, and his real name was not recorded, so later people called it "Primordial Xuan Emperor".
"Primordial Emperor Xuan" fell in love with Xing Qianxue, the first princess of the Lanyun Ancient Kingdom, and gave the Lanyun Ancient Kingdom a ring made of his own qi and blood condensation and smelting, named "Emperor Blood Ring".
The "Emperor Blood Ring" began in the primeval era and has been passed down from generation to generation to the descendants of the royal family of the ancient country of Lanyun. Until one day five hundred years ago.... The people of the ancient kingdom in the northern region and the royal family of the ancient kingdom in the southern region experienced a bloody catastrophe overnight, and the corpses of the entire ancient kingdom of Lanyun were all over the field, and the "Emperor Blood Ring" also disappeared, becoming the legendary ancient artifact.
Regarding the ancient country of Lanyun, Yun Chengxing's understanding of it stops there. After listening to An Li's words, Yun Chengxing became interested, this Enron must have some inseparable relationship with the Qianxuan Continent and even the Lanyun Ancient Kingdom, maybe... She is really the princess of the ancient country of Lanyun, the extinct descendant of the royal family of the Xing clan - "Xingye Dance".
If her identity is confirmed, it may help her to find the scroll and advance to the realm.
"Hmm... If Xiaoxing agrees, I am willing to pay 10,000 yuan as a reward. β
An Li saw that Yun Chengxing hesitated for a while, thinking that he was hinting that he would pay him, and hurriedly proposed the price.
"No, no, no, no... I can help with this, and the remuneration will be forgotten. β
Yun Chengxing came back to his senses and just heard this, so he immediately refused to thank him, and nodded that he would definitely be able to help.
"Do you think the pay is too little? I can add another 10,000, the price is negotiable. β
An Li didn't understand what Yun Chengxing meant, but she didn't want to be paid for helping, did she think the money was too little or...
"I didn't mean that..."Yun Chengxing patiently explained, "The remuneration is really unnecessary, and I am not particularly short of money. β
"Okay...."An Li saw that Yun Chengxing insisted on refusing to accept the payment, and she didn't continue to struggle.
In this way, at noon the next day, Yun Chengxing came to Jiang Lanxi Psychiatric Hospital early. According to his agreement with An Li, he will officially be admitted to the hospital as a mental patient today and meet An Li's sister An Ran.
After arriving at the hospital, with the assistance of An Li, Yun Chengxing completed the hospitalization procedures smoothly, put on the uniform of a mentally ill person, and prepared to enter An Ran's ward to negotiate with her.
According to Enron's requirements, her ward was independent, unlike other multi-person wards where the mentally ill gathered. And An Li also told Yun Chengxing that Enron was likely to lock the door of the ward, not only could no one enter, but Enron would not come out. Therefore, opening the door is a hurdle, and Yun Chengxing needs to adapt to resolve it.
"Crunch..."
However, unexpectedly, Yun Chengxing gently pushed An Ran's door and opened it!
Odd... I didn't use my Xuan Qi, why did I open the door of the ward? Could it be that the Xuan Qi in the body is out of control again? Yun Chengxing was confused for a moment.
"Princess Lanyun Ancient Kingdom, where are you?"
He tiptoed into Enron's hospital room, a white and clean environment, with only a bed, a picture window, a large vanity mirror, and a sandalwood bedside table next to the bed. He looked around, his eyes wandering around the ward for a long time, but there was no trace of safety.
"The princess of the ancient country of Lanyun.... Dancing Princess? Yun Chengxing called softly again, wanting to test whether An Ran was hiding somewhere.
"Who?" At this time, a cold voice actually came out from under the bed, and his words were full of vigilance, "You actually have a mysterious qi on your body, who are you?" β
Xuanqi? Did she mention Xuanqi? Sure enough, this Enron is a person from the Thousand Xuan Continent.
Could it be that she is really the peerless princess of the ancient country of Lanyun, Xingye Dance?
"I... I am the Purple Cloud Empire, a descendant of the Yun Clan in Jade Dragon City. My name is Yun Chengxing. β
Yun Chengxing directly revealed his identity straight to the point, without any shying away from it and without any intention of prevention.
"The Purple Cloud Empire... Jade Dragon City?! Leng Tsunder's voice muttered under the bed for a while, and finally poked out a small head with long hair, she looked up at Yun Chengxing and asked, "You are also from the Qianxuan Continent?" β
Delicate face, messy long hair, noble status, and a cold and arrogant tone.... This peerless princess is really different, and even has a bit of personality.
"Are you really the princess of the ancient kingdom of Lanyun? Leaf dance? β
Yun Chengxing didn't answer her question, wanting to confirm her identity again.
"Are you an emissary sent by the Red Flame Sect?"
was questioned by Yun Chengxing like this, An Ran, who only showed his little head under the bed, panicked again and questioned again.
"Red Flame Gate?" Yun Chengxing was surprised for a few seconds, and couldn't help but widen his eyes, "They are also on Earth?" β
He didn't expect that his hometown Earth would come to so many uninvited guests from the Qianxuan Continent. First he was a descendant of the royal family of the Lanyun Ancient Kingdom, and now he is the sworn enemy of the Purple Cloud Empire for hundreds of years - the Red Flame Gate.
Speaking of the Red Flame Gate, it is located in the Scarlet Labyrinth in the underground world of the Thousand Xuan Continent, and it is one of the Dharma Protector organizations established by the Palace Master of the Scarlet Labyrinth. The messenger in the Red Flame Gate majored in the fire attribute "Elemental Secret Method" in the Xuan Qi. As long as there is the instructions of the palace master, no matter whether they burn, kill and plunder, go up the mountains and down to the sea, the envoys of the Red Flame Gate will never frown.
For the Red Flame Gate, the palace master of the Scarlet Labyrinth is their faith. For the sake of faith, they will risk everything, including their own lives.
"You... You really have nothing to do with the Red Flame Gate? β
Seeing Yun Chengxing's surprised look, An Ran tried again in disbelief.
"I said, I am a descendant of the Yun Clan, and of course I have nothing to do with the Red Flame Sect."
Yun Chengxing shook his head affirmatively, looking at An Ran with resolute eyes.
At the moment when the eyes of the two were about to collide with sparks, An Ran was finally convinced that the cultivator in front of him was not a bad one.
After some conversation just now, Yun Chengxing also determined that An Ran in front of him was the princess of the Lanyun Ancient Kingdom, Xingye Dance. Xing Ye Wu was so nervous to confirm his identity just now, thinking that he must have been chased and killed by the Red Flame Gate very crazy.
"That's good..."An Ran breathed a deep sigh of relief, that kind of apprehension could finally be put aside, she looked at Yun Chengxing, found that he was wearing the clothes of a mentally ill person, and asked a little strangely, "But, then why are you here?" Was he arrested as a mentally ill person? β
"You can say yes, you can say no."
Yun Chengxing nodded, then immediately shook his head, and relayed the matter entrusted to An Ran by An Li word for word.
Or, the An Ran in front of him can be regarded as the princess of the ancient country of Lanyun and Xingye Dance.
"It turned out to be Ann Li's girl!"
Xing Ye Wu said as she got out from under the bed, with an unpleasant look on her face.
"She's also for your good, after all, you pretend to be mentally ill all day long, but you don't have a little mental illness, it's really weird and scary."
Yun Chengxing explained for An Li.
"No way... Who made this the safest place on earth. β
Xingye Wu wanted to complain about something more, but when he heard Yun Chengxing say this, he only sighed deeply.
"Safety? Where is the psychiatric hospital safe? Yun Chengxing asked with a smile.
Xing Ye Wu raised his head and looked at the door in the ward that had not yet been closed, hurriedly got up and carefully poked his head out of the door to confirm, and then gently closed the door before saying, "Haven't you heard of the 'insulation field'?" β
"Insulation? What's that..."
Yun Chengxing had indeed never heard of this concept since he had cultivated.
"The Insulation Realm is the most magical enchantment on this planet, and it is also an unknown force that we have not yet discovered in the Thousand Xuan Continent." Xingye Wu began to explain to Yun Chengxing vividly, "In the Insulation Realm, cultivators in all realms are unable to steadily exert their Xuan Qi, nor can they cultivate, and cultivators outside the Insulation Realm, no matter how high their cultivation is, they will not be able to perceive any targets in the Insulation Realm. Even in the stronger realm, the Xuan Qi in the cultivator's body will be countered by the unknown forces in the realm, and he will directly or indirectly lose his cultivation. β
Lost cultivation?! Suddenly unable to exert his own mysteries? Isn't this the bizarre incident that Yun Chengxing experienced before on the rooftop and in the abandoned factory? Could it be that the loss of one's cultivation is due to the insulating field on the edge of the roof?
According to Xingye Wu, there should be more than one insulating field on the earth.
"That's... Is this also an area of insulation? β
Yun Chengxing finally came to his senses and understood why Xingye Wu was hiding here.
"That's right! As far as this ward is concerned, it can be said that it is the strongest insulation area in the entire city of Laurent. If you don't believe me, you can try your Xuan Qi here. β
Xing Ye Wu really chose this psychiatric ward after investigation, no wonder she had to live alone.
"I... Forget it, Xuan Qi has just recovered to the fourth level, and I don't want to start all over again. Of course, Yun Chengxing wouldn't be stupid enough to use his Xuan Qi in this special enchantment, but he immediately thought of a question.
If this is the strongest insulation realm, then how did Xing Ye Wu sense that he would come? Hiding under the bed, it is clear that you are fully prepared.
"That's not right! Since in the realm of insulation, cultivators can't sense each other, then how do you know that I'm here, and how do you know that I have mystical qi in me? He stared at Xingye Wu and soon noticed that on the ring finger of her right hand, there was a blood-red but slightly blue-fluorescent tapered ring.
This ring, if Yun Chengxing is not mistaken, it is the legendary "Emperor Blood Ring" that was smelted by the blood of the primordial Xuan Emperor
"It's .... Emperor Blood Ring! Yun Chengxing was a little surprised, he didn't expect such a treasure to exist on the earth!
