Volume 1 The Prince Travels Back to Kyoto Chapter 27 Finding a Needle in a Haystack
In the dead of night, Lin Xiuyuan sat alone in the Xie Shui Pavilion in the mountain behind the palace in the south of the town, where there was a clear and translucent lake, and part of the water of the Yuquan River in the winding path of the palace was the source here.
Near the lake, Xie Shui Pavilion is actually a four-story tower, located on the mountainside of the back mountain, standing on the top of the tower, the entire palace can be seen.
At this moment, his eyes were closed, and the rusty long knife was placed on his knees, and the aura of heaven and earth quickly sucked into his body with the slight flickering of Lin Xiuyuan's seven-point exquisite heart, and finally turned into a faint wisp of innate true intent, stored in the dantian in his body.
Under Lin Xiuyuan's self-inward vision, he could clearly see that there were more and more crimson true elements in the dantian, almost saturating the entire dantian, and he knew in his heart that if he was willing, he could impact the Qi cultivation realm at this moment, and there was a great possibility that he would succeed in one fell swoop.
But this is not his goal, what he wants to impact is the sea of qi in the qi cultivation realm, and the current innate true intent is still far from enough, so when the dantian can no longer absorb more true intent, Lin Xiuyuan began to compress the crimson true yuan, condensing all the innate qi scattered in the dantian together, and then continuously squeezing and condensing, and finally turning all the true qi into an orange true yuan the size of a projectile, when this true yuan appeared, it immediately exuded a desolate ancient power that was a hundred times stronger than the previous crimson true yuan, Like a bound ancient beast, old and domineering.
And near this projectile-sized True Yuan, there were four other identical orange True Yuan floating, which looked extremely small in Lin Xiuyuan's empty dantian.
This is the second layer of the realm of innate true intent, the realm of orange, the power of the true element of innate true intent, according to the color, each upper layer, will increase several times or even a hundred times the power, Lin Xiuyuan has been cultivating for a full eight years, and he has only cultivated the first layer of innate true intent to perfection, even so, it has successfully helped him forge the strongest body of return.
And now, after three full months, he has been practicing almost day and night, and he has only condensed four wisps of orange true yuan, and this has already used up the heaven and earth aura that Lin Xiuyuan absorbed for months when he was forging his body.
This was still when Lin Xiuyuan discovered that his Seven Apertures Exquisite Heart could assist his innate true intent to speed up the absorption of heaven and earth aura, and the speed at which he absorbed aura was far more than dozens of times that of ordinary monks.
Lin Xiuyuan looked at the pitiful wisps of true yuan, unconsciously floating in the dantian, and sighed slightly in his heart, every level of cultivation of innate true intent will be a hundred times more difficult than before, if he wants to open up the qi cultivation realm that exists in the sea of qi, he has roughly estimated that it is possible to at least conceive the orange true yuan to the limit of the dantian, and at present, it seems that this road is still a long way to go for him now.
This also made Lin Xiuyuan care more about the chaotic grinding disc that the master said, if he could find this thing, combine the seven exquisite hearts, and practice the innate true intent together, maybe he could be faster.
Lin Xiuyuan still has some sense of urgency in his heart, he is now fifteen years old, but he is still at the peak of the forging body realm, although he has forged a body that is difficult to find in the world, but after all, it is only the forging body realm, once he meets a martial cultivator in the soul refining or iQue realm, it is far from enough.
If he could step into the Qi Cultivation Realm one step earlier and open up the Qi Sea, his overall strength would be doubled again, and he would be able to lift the seal of the long knife a bit, and at that time, even if he faced the Soul Refining Realm, or even the Divine Journey Realm, he might be able to fight.
As soon as he thought of this, Lin Xiuyuan made up his mind, this time Juxian Meeting, he would win no matter what, and take the Chaos Stone in his hand, as for the recruitment order, he didn't care much, but since it was bound together, it was natural to take it together, and it could be regarded as helping his father to add a deck of hole cards, so that the emperor's cousin, if he wanted to use some crooked brains, he had to weigh it carefully.
Early the next morning, Lin Xiuyuan left the palace directly, and continued to aimlessly explore the location of the chaotic millstone, from going out in the morning to coming back in the evening, the people in the palace did not know what His Royal Highness the prince who had just come back was busy with, but in view of the scene of Lin Xiuyuan returning to the mansion for the first time, he did not say it, but no one dared to ask.
In the blink of an eye, three days have passed, and there are only less than two days left before the time of the Juxian Association, during these three days, Lin Xiuyuan has explored day by day, and almost stepped on all the streets in the outer city, but he still did not have the slightest feeling, not only a little worried.
On the morning of the fourth day, Lin Xiuyuan did not disappear early in the morning as usual, but rarely stayed in the house for breakfast, and there was only one person who served him, that is, Jin'er, who said that he was serving, but in fact, he was simply eating with Lin Xiuyuan.
Lin Xiuyuan frowned, there was a mouthful of porridge to drink, Jin'er sat on the side, also holding a small bowl, but did not move, but quietly looked at the young man in front of him with his eyes, Jin'er actually had a lot of questions in his heart, but he didn't know how to ask, he came back from His Royal Highness the Prince, except for chatting with her on the first day, in the next few days, he almost didn't see anyone every day, went out early and returned late, and these people didn't dare to ask more.
Jin'er saw that Lin Xiuyuan seemed to be stunned, so that she didn't even touch a few chopsticks for the side dishes on the table, hesitated slightly, and then gritted her teeth, gently pinched a chopstick by herself, and put it in his bowl, this action finally woke Lin Xiuyuan from his contemplation.
He looked at Jin'er, but Jin'er immediately blushed, withdrew his chopsticks, and said softly:
"Your Highness, don't drink porridge all the time, you still have to eat some food."
Lin Xiuyuan was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile:
"Thank you, Sister Jin'er."
Seeing that the other party was not angry, Jin'er was relieved, and that sentence of Sister Jin'er also made her feel a little warm, no matter how much His Royal Highness has changed, but Jin'er can still feel her family affection from the bottom of her heart, as soon as she thought of this, she also mustered up some courage, and said softly:
"Your Highness seems to have been busy lately, and I can't see your people."
Lin Xiuyuan didn't want them to know their identity as martial cultivators, so naturally it was not easy to explain, so he could only hum softly, Jin'er thought about it, and asked again:
"This morning, I saw that His Highness was a little worried, did he encounter any problems?"
Lin Xiuyuan thought for a moment and suddenly asked:
"Do we have a map of Kyoto Castle?"
Although Jin'er was a little curious about why His Highness wanted this, she still nodded and said:
"Yes, if His Highness needs it, I will go and bring it to His Highness."
Lin Xiuyuan hurriedly said:
"Then there is Sister Lao Jin'er."
Jin'er chuckled:
"Your Highness, I am your maid, what is the matter with you being polite to me."
Jin'er stood up as she spoke, and was about to get the map, Lin Xiuyuan saw a mouthful of untouched porridge in her bowl, and said somewhat embarrassed:
"Don't be in a hurry, Sister Jin'er should have breakfast and then go."
Jin'er smiled:
"No need, Jin'er is not hungry, it is important to get a map for His Highness before, this map is not used all year round, it should be found for a while, Your Highness will have breakfast first, wait for a while."
After speaking, Jin'er left Shi Shiran.
Lin Xiuyuan took the porridge alone, came out of his mind, and then drank the porridge in a few sips, put down the dishes and chopsticks, saw Jin'er's untouched porridge, thought about it, and wiped the bowl he had drunk clean, and buckled it upside down on her bowl, so that the porridge would not be cold easily, after doing all this, Lin Xiuyuan continued to think about the previous question.
After about a stick of incense, Jin'er held a ten-foot-high picture scroll, and staggered in, Lin Xiuyuan saw this, hurriedly borrowed the picture scroll from her hand, and then hurriedly ran to the unused Eight Immortals table behind the dining room, opened the picture scroll, and suddenly saw a complete Kyoto composition, the entire Kyoto City from the outer city to the inner city, the major streets and lanes, and even the residence of the imperial court Kyoto officials, were clearly marked on it.
Lin Xiuyuan's eyes lit up slightly, and then he began to look at the map carefully, and at the same time said to Jin'er behind him:
"Thank you, Sister Jin'er, go and eat, if the porridge is cold, it won't taste good."
When Jin'er heard this, she didn't refuse, but nodded obediently, and returned to the table, seeing the bowl on the table that was upside down, she was stunned at first, and then suddenly felt a little more warmth in her heart, looking at Lin Xiuyuan's back, and a trace of complicated emotions flashed in her eyes.
She took away the upside-down bowl, then picked up the porridge, stared at Lin Xiuyuan's back who didn't know what he was busy with, drank without a sip, and began to gradually become distracted.
Lin Xiuyuan stared at the map for a long time, and then sketched on the map with the milli element on the side, but he was thinking about it in his heart.
I've basically traveled around the southern part of Kyoto's outer castle, so I can exclude it, and I've been to half of the eastern castle, and now the remaining areas are the western and northern castles, and then the inner castle.
After sketching for a long time, Lin Xiuyuan was still confused, he felt that his way of finding it was too clumsy, but the master left too little information for himself, and he seemed to be deliberately adding problems to himself, and he really didn't have a good way to do it for a while.
"What is Your Highness doing?"
A voice came from behind him, and Lin Xiuyuan subconsciously said:
"Find something."
Then he reacted, turned his head to look, it turned out to be Jin'er who had finished eating, and couldn't help but run over curiously to see what he was doing, and after hearing his words, he was a little surprised:
"Your Highness looking for something on the map?"
Lin Xiuyuan didn't know how to explain, and suddenly he had a flash of inspiration and asked:
"Sister Jin'er, you have been in Kyoto for a long time, you said that if you want to hide something in Kyoto, where is the right place to hide?"
Jin'er was a little strange, and did not answer, but asked rhetorically:
"Is something precious? Is it bulky? Or is it noticeable? ”
Lin Xiuyuan was slightly stunned, and then hesitated:
"Things are naturally precious, and it's not clear whether they're big or not, but they shouldn't be small and eye-catching."
Lin Xiuyuan thought of the name of the Chaos Mill, this thing can't be too small, Jin'er frowned, and then said:
"Jin'er doesn't understand anything else, but I know that if you want to hide a precious and eye-catching thing, you must at least find a place with few people, or a place where ordinary people can't go, in short, it's a place that others can't think of, or can't find it, Kyoto is a prosperous place, and there are not many places like this."
Lin Xiuyuan was stunned for a moment, then patted his head, and scolded himself for being stupid in his heart, such a simple truth, he didn't even figure it out, he was still looking for a needle in a haystack, the chaos millstone is such a treasure, how can the master put it in one place at will, ordinary people can't go, the palace? No, there are a lot of cultivators sitting there, if they hide there, wouldn't it be a sheep in the mouth of a tiger, except for the palace, where is there a place where ordinary people don't go and it's hard to discover?
Lin Xiuyuan put his gaze on the entire map again, and after looking at it carefully for a long time, his eyes lit up slightly......
