Ancient Strengthening Techniques
Promoted as an Elder. Farewell, Setting Feet on the Way to Home
” Qing Shui, it's been a long time since we met each other! ’
Qing Shui found it unexpected that/that Mo Yan was the one who started the conversation with him. He was even more surprised when Mo Yan showed a faint, delicate smile on his face.
” Yes, thank you for treating my wound last time! ” Qing Shui replied, not knowing any other formalities.
’’ Don't mention it. I feel ashamed that/that what I did had no contrast effect. You can easily treat yourself. I feel like I'm just meddling. ’’ Mo Yan laughs.
This time, he laughed out loud. Her smile was gentle, and although it was a little deviant and indifferent, it was truly suitable for her. It makes people feel sorry for him.
After they exchanged a few random words, the two said goodbye to each other. Qing Shui aimlessly walked around the Heavenly Palace. He slowed down when he arrived at a crowded place, but he sped up as he passed through a secluded place. However, when she saw such a nice and interesting sight, Qing Shui would stop to look at the scenery. There is a certain influence on a person's mood when looking at the scene.
Second day!
??? ………
The bells in Starmoon Hall rang nine times! This meant that there was something important going on between the halls in the Heavenly Palace. The voice called out to everyone in Starmoon Hall to gather together.
Everyone from Starmoon Hall went to the public square and gathered after they heard the bell ringing. In an instant, the public square was already in a huge commotion as people moved in the crowd. There were still many disciples, protectors, elders, and others who had yet to arrive at the square.
’’ What happened again. It's been a while since the bell rang nine times. ” Already, there are discussions among the crowd.
”What is going on? Using nine rings to call us here .. I'm just doing my job. My mood is bad, I don't know exactly what's going on right now! ” A handsome young man yells in annoyance.
”What did you say? We do it repeatedly and you are in a bad mood .. ’’A beautiful young girl by his side shyly scolded him.
’’Again and again ..’ ‘The people around him started whistling, making the girl run away with her face covered!
The man, however, looked at the surrounding crowd excitedly before departing with the girl.
” Usually when the bell in the Heavenly Palace rings nine times, it can be a ceremony to worship our ancestors, a ceremony to promote someone to an Elder, or a ceremony to dismiss the Elders … ” said a seemingly thoughtful young man.
” If you know so much, then what do you think will most likely happen? ” A tall young man beside him asked curiously.
Ancestral worship is impossible. If it was to punish an Elder, then perhaps this was a ceremony to dismiss an Elder. But recently, there has been no word from the Elders making an unforgivable mistake! ” The young man's eyes flashed.
” Could this be a ceremony to promote someone as an Elder? ” The other young man asked in a daze.
” Then who is it? Who has the ability to be promoted to Elder? ’
No one knew who was shouting those words, but after that, many people fell silent as they thought of the two scenarios that had happened: Qing Shui's challenge to the nine warriors from the Sword Tower, the one from the Sword Tower, and Qing Shui's battle with Xi Ri.
No one knew what strength Qing Shui possessed to be able to defeat Xi Ri in battle. It might be sudden to promote it to Elder, given his age and growth potential, but after a few more years, perhaps no one would bother with it anymore.
Qing Shui appeared in the fully dressed arena after he had taken a bath!
The arena was completely filled with Elders and some Grand Elders. Although the Supreme Elders worked under the Elders Association and were not included in any hall, they still treated the former hall that/that they had worked under as their families. Although they represented the Heavenly Palace as a whole, the worry over the hall they worked under did not affect the Supreme Elders at all.
The Starmoon Hall Palace Lord also appeared. He did not say a word, but looked at Qing Shui happily. The master was satisfied knowing that/it Starmoon Hall would always be proud of him no matter what.
’’I want to announce good news to everyone today. Starmoon Hall will have the addition of a new Elder, and he is none other than Qing Shui that all of you should be familiar with now. He was also the youngest Elder in the history of the Heavenly Palace. ’’ One of the Elders smiled as he announced to everyone below the arena.
Although many people expected Qing Shui to know about it, judging from his appearance and clean clothes, they still felt overwhelming hearing from the Elders. In an instant, the crowd exploded into a frenzy.
” Damn, he just got promoted to Elder directly, and at a very young age. This is the Heavenly Palace Elder we are talking about! ’’
’’ This status basically allows you to go anywhere without any challenge in the continent of Greencloud! ’’
’’ He became an Elder at a very young age, his future is unlimited! ’
………………
The praise is endless!
The Elders in the arena also chatted to each other endlessly about random things. Some talk about the law, some make congratulations, and some are just happy ….
A woman walked towards Qing Shui and gave the Elder uniform to him. He received the uniform and carefully put it on. The purple robe made Qing Shui look softer than before. Even the women nearby were captivated by her new appearance as well. However, they nervously lowered their heads as the surrounding people teased them for being blown away by Qing Shui.
Qing Shui can clearly see the words ’Orde Elder’ on the front and the words ’Heavenly Palace’ on the back!
A third woman came and gave him the White Jade Sword, which symbolized his status as an Elder. The sharp sword was extremely valuable, but it could never be used against an enemy in battle. However, there is no doubt that/it is the famous White Jade Sword. Although it was approximately lower than ‘’Ordo Elder’, it was still one of the important items used to symbolize Elder.
Since Qing Shui was the Elder of the Heavenly Palace, he bowed to the surrounding crowd around him.
’’ Elder Qing, please give more guidance to me. ’’
Huoyun Liu-li said, looking at Qing Shui before returning. But she could not help but laugh her captivating laugh after saying that to Qing Shui.
Qing Shui rubbed his head gently and ruffled the hair held by his hairpin. She looked charming as she looked at Qing Shui with a pitying look.
And then, three days passed just like that!
’’ Qing Shui, be careful in your journey, please take care of Mingyue and Liu-li. ’’ Cang Wuya and Fei Wuji sent Qing Shui and the two women all the way to the bottom of the Heavenly Palace.
” Old Man, please come back. Don't worry, I won't let anything harm them. Martial Uncle Fei, thank you very much! ’
’’ Grandpa, we will be back soon to see you again! ’’
The Firebird and Canghai Mingyue’s Golden Winged Thunder Condor surrounded the sky above them. The phoenix crown on the Firebird looked much larger than before. Finally, they left for their trip back home under the reluctant eyes of Cang Wuya and Fei Wuji.
This was the first time Cang Wuya had seen Qing Shui's beast. He was greatly relieved after seeing the phoenix crown on his head.
The two women, however, were covered in tears, especially Canghai Mingyue. It was already rare for Qing Shui to see such a sensitive side of him.
’’ Mingyue, Liu-li, we will keep coming back in the future. So try to be happy! As they say, all good things must come to an end! ” Qing Shui comforting both Canghai Mingyue and Huoyun Liu-li.
Perhaps due to the Firebird's acquisition of the phoenix crown, it was not attached to the Golden Winged Thunder Condor as much as before. But what surprised Qing Shui was that/it Golden Winged Thunder Condor took the initiative to rub herself on the Firebird affectionately.
Canghai Mingyue flushed reddishly after she saw what had happened. Anyone would have their heart melt instantly if they saw the slightest bit of shame like a woman like Mingyue.
It was an indescribable beauty. Even the word ‘beauty’ will not be able to fully describe it. It was a kind of beautiful and romantic beauty that could overwhelm the human soul. It is also a kind of beauty not solely for pleasure to the eyes.
The reason might be because of the phoenix crown. Qing Shui eliminated the idea of possible evolution for the Golden Winged Thunder Conductor. Qing Shui did not see any light emitting from his head. No doubt, the Firebird might have a bit of phoenix blood.
When Qing Shui thought of his journey back home, he felt that his/her heart had already returned to his home. The thought of going home grew intense as she began to feel impatient.
It was inevitable because the Firebird was not on the same level as the Golden Winged Thunder Condor. It was much faster now, but unfortunately, it could only run at the speed of the Golden Winged Thunder Condor.
Qing Shui planned to let the Firebird and Golden Winged Thunder Condor rest for two hours every day. He also decided not to change his usual practice time. Not only that, Qing Shui had communicated with the Firebird that/that he would enter the Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal on his back. During this time, the Firebird did not have to approach the two women or allow them to approach her.
Firebird looked excited. It might be because of his freedom from the Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal, or perhaps because of the phoenix crown he had just obtained. But after all, it was in his element as he floated in the sky.
After that, half a month passed. They spend most of their time in the air, which is a good thing, as they can travel faster. The Golden Winged Thunder Condor had also developed its strength by half with the help of the Pill Beast. As a result, his speed and endurance increased greatly.
It takes 20 days to reach the Southern City. Qing Shui originally wanted to pass through the city, but he knew that/it was Canghai Mingyue wanted to stop by and pay her respects to her parents.
Qing Shui's Ancient Strengthening Technique broke through to 101 cycles of qi that circulated in half a month and reached its peak. Soon, it will exceed 102 cycles.
What made Qing Shui happy was the fact that his/her strength had increased by 1% after one day without any additional external help. This also meant that/it Qing Shui would gain about 20,000 jin from 1% of his 2,000,000 jin strength. His attacks, speed, and spirit energy .. would also increase by 1%.
Qing Shui knew very well about the abnormality of the Ancient Strengthening Technique. That was why he was not so surprised anymore!
South Town!
Qing Shui estimated that/it was half of the time it was cut down. One more month and they will be able to reach Cang Lang Country City. However, it would take two days to travel from Cang Lang State City to Hundred Miles City.
’’ Mingyue, Liu-li, let's pay our respects to the seniors! ’’
Qing Shui spoke softly when he saw that/it was Canghai Mingyue at a loss for words after arriving in the Southern City. He was not surprised about what happened last time, but he would never have thought that/it was Qing Shui would say those words. He expected it to fly over the city without a doubt. Those words made her happy.
Canghai Mingyue nodded. The wrinkles on his face started to fade!
As he wore incense to his dead parents, Canghai Mingyue could not help but cry.This year, he had felt the meaning of loneliness. It was loneliness that hurt him from inside his bones.
