Chapter 33: The State of Enlightenment
A crisp bell rang leisurely, and then a man dressed in fine clothes walked in from the apse, surrounded by several people.
When he appeared in the main hall, everyone in the hall stood up, including the two young men and women. It's just that, unlike other people who kneel and bow, they don't have to bow three times and bow nine times. There is an unwritten rule in the countries of the Yunran Continent that as long as the cultivator reaches the Yin Yang Realm or above the Three Seals, he can not kneel to the emperor, which also shows the status of cultivators on the continent.
Emperor Luo Rong did not sit down immediately after he appeared, but took the lead in front of Luo Feng, and said apologetically: "Old Ancestor, these are the envoys from the Yanchi Empire, as well as the third prince Huo Lie, and the fourth princess Huo Yunrou, they all want to see you no matter what, so they have to work on your great power, and please forgive the old ancestor." â
Luo Feng smiled slightly, and said: "Your Majesty, it is also the wish of the old man to be able to meet the princes and princesses of neighboring countries and the strong men of the younger generations, you are so careful." â
Luo Rong respectfully helped Luo Feng sit down at this time, and after seeing Luo Feng, his eyes fell on Xun Qiu's body, and he immediately smiled sincerely, and said, "Master, it is really a blessing for my country to be able to invite you." â
Xun Qiu bowed slightly, and said, "Your Majesty, you are too complimentary." â
When facing the lord of a country, Xun Qiu can't be as calm and arrogant as Luo Feng. After all, the age of more than 200 years is here, and he is the ancestor of the royal family, in comparison, the confidence of Xun Qiu, who is only twenty years old, is much weaker, besides, his current cultivation does not deserve such courtesy, and the reason why the empire attaches so much importance to him is also because his potential is greater.
Luo Rong smiled and nodded, not saying too much to Xun Qiu, he then greeted the three distinguished guests of the Flame Red Empire, and then ordered to serve drinks and dishes, as well as singing and dancing. After a while, the atmosphere in the stadium suddenly became lively.
This time, the people who were able to come to the main hall to accompany them were all famous figures in the Ming Yan Empire, and they represented the top Cun ZĂ i in this country.
During the banquet, Xun Qiu could often feel a burning gaze glancing towards their seat, which was like substance, as if he wanted to see through their seat. However, the strange thing is that there is no hostility and provocation in such an unscrupulous gaze, it just makes him feel very much.
His brows furrowed slightly, and Xun Qiu said softly: "Senior, what do they want to do?"
Luo Feng smiled coldly and said, "He wants to see if the old man is really as rumored, the end is approaching." â
Xun Qiu was stunned and said, "Didn't they see it?"
Luo Feng smiled and said: "Of course I didn't see it, unless it was a real hands-on battle, the old man would sit here steadily, and at the same time hide his breath, they would not find it lightly, after all, the old man is a cultivator of the Yuan Shen Realm, and it is impossible for the Zhan Ao boy to find anything." â
Xun Qiu opened his mouth, but stopped talking.
Luo Feng smiled and said, "But it's strange to say, the second time with you, I can feel that you have seen that I am unwell, could it be that you have practiced some strange exercises?"
Xun Qiu smiled bitterly and said, "Senior, I can't hide it, I didn't practice any strange exercises, but I could sense that in your body, life seemed to be constantly passing, so I showed that expression at that time." â
Luo Feng looked surprised, shook his head and sighed, and said: "Oh, I understand, it seems that you have a certain understanding of the power of the Yuan Shen, although this perception is not very obvious, maybe you can't feel it, but he is invisibly beginning to affect you and improve your perception." Originally, I thought that only when I reached the Yuan Shen Realm could I perceive my physical condition, but I never thought that you could do it with your current cultivation, it is really talented and enviable. â
Xun Qiu smiled and didn't explain anything, but he knew that this keen feeling must be related to the golden seal in his body, and he didn't know the specific effect of that guy now, but with the golden seal in his body, his energy can always work well, and his perception of other people's energy is also much stronger than ordinary people.
The banquet in the palace was smooth sailing, perhaps because of Luo Feng's presence, or because of the sudden appearance of Xun Qiu, which made Zhan Ao a little jealous, so during the dinner, although he looked towards this side many times, he did not provoke again from beginning to end.
After eating this so-called dinner party, Xun Qiu naturally left with Luo Feng. Before he left, he wanted to say hello to Shen Miao, but he reluctantly found that the prince of the Flame Red Empire had already surrounded him.
Finally, the carriage stopped in front of the Yayuan where Xun Qiu lived, Luo Feng stretched a big lazy waist and said, "Virtuous nephew, I'm going to rest, you can rest too." â
Xun Qiu was surprised: "Rest?"
"yes. Luo Feng's eyes flashed twice for the old disrespect, and said: "It's this day, you are also tired, let Li'er take good care of you, do whatever you want, don't have any scruples." â
A hint of annoyance suddenly appeared on Xun Qiu's face, but Luo Feng immediately asked people to drive the carriage away, leaving only the hearty laughter echoing around.
The attendants near the carriage looked at each other in surprise, of course they couldn't know why the national teacher was suddenly smiling so happily, but this matter must also have something to do with the young man in front of him. Seeing that Xun Qiu could get along like this with the national teacher who was known as the patron saint of the empire, they were even more envious.
Xun Qiu shook his head and returned to the courtyard alone.
As soon as he returned to the courtyard, Li'er came out of the garden and brought him a hot towel that had been prepared for him. It's just that this girl looked a little hurried, but when the night came up, Xun Qiu didn't pay much attention.
Xun Qiu took it casually, wiped it casually, and listened to Li'er's soft voice: "Young master, your room slave has been cleaned up, you can go directly to rest when you are tired." â
Xun Qiu's eyes lit up slightly, he immediately remembered Luo Feng's evil smile, and then looked at the shy girl in front of him, it seemed that he was now picking her up by the waist and throwing her on the bed for a while.
But fortunately, Xun Qiu is not so perverted.
"Great, thank you for your hard work, but I still have to cultivate, you go and help me get the cheats in the cultivation room. â
"Huh?" Li'er was stunned for a moment, she didn't understand what was going on? Cheats are a big taboo for cultivators, and they don't show it to others, and the people in front of her are really so relieved about her?
Seeing that Li'er was a little stunned, Xun said in confusion: "What's wrong?"
Seeing this Xun Qiu's clear gaze, Li'er reacted and hurriedly said, "Okay young master, the slave family will go now, you wait for a while." As she spoke, Li'er turned around with a slight blush, and after a while, she took the cheats for recording her handprints.
When the cheats were brought, Xun Qiu was drinking tea, Li'er handed the cheats to Xun Qiu, Xun Qiu glanced at it a few times, nodded with satisfaction, and said, "Very good, thank you." After a pause, he added: "No wonder rich and powerful people like to find someone to take care of things, which is indeed a lot more worry-free." â
Li'er nodded, and a smile of relief and charm appeared on her face.
Xun Qiu was slightly stunned, he found that although Li'er was not the most beautiful person he had ever seen, she had a different taste at the moment.
With a light cough, Xun Qiu stood up and said, "I'll go and see the cheats, you go and rest." When he said the word rest, he suddenly thought of Luo Feng's teasing, and couldn't help but blush slightly, turned around and left like lightning.
Li'er was stunned for a long time, remembering the tone of Xun Qiu just now, her heart was inexplicably sweet, and her cheeks were slightly red.
In the evening, Xun Qiu prefers to practice outdoors, feeling that in this quiet atmosphere, he is closer to nature and has a better understanding of cultivation.
There is a stream in front of the rockery, this stream is a living water in the courtyard, half natural, half artificial, but when excavating, it is to maintain the original style as much as possible, and there is almost no trace of alteration.
Sitting on a rockery stone in front of the stream, Xun Qiu repacked his mood and opened the cheats in his hand.
He had read the above content several times, and he had practiced twice, but every time he studied it, he had a new feeling, and it was not easy to really grasp the things in the cheats in his hands.
He sat quietly, silently reciting the contents of the secret book bit by bit, and reciting it. It was a full hour before he closed the book, half-closed his eyes, and quietly studied its contents.
Slowly, his arms stretched out, and he unleashed his feelings according to the feeling in his heart, and at the same time, he extended his perception of the power of wind and thunder outward, and soon contained the entire Grace Garden, and then extended out to the surroundings.
At this time, a breeze blew by the stream, and the roots of Xun Qiu's ears shook gently, and a smile overflowed from the corners of his mouth. Although he couldn't say anything about this feeling, it seemed to have an irreplaceable effect on the improvement of his cultivation.
When he was practicing the last three Dharma seals with both hands, a wonderful pattern suddenly formed in Xun Qiu's mind.
In the garden, the colorful flowers absorb the earthy and fragrant stream, and they bathe in it, absorbing nutrients from nature and thriving. In the flowers and plants, countless insects emitted extremely subtle sounds that could not be heard by ordinary people. These sounds form a peculiar symphony that blends in with the sounds of nature.
It's a whole new world, and it brings a completely different feeling to Xun Qiu. It's like being far away, but it's been pulled alive by some mysterious means, and it's perfectly presented to your senses.
