Lonely Swordsman - C78
After a moment of silence, Chen Jing flew back into the room. The rainbow clothed woman had been peeping from the window, and seeing Chen Jing fly back, she kneeled on the ground and said, “The jade letter thanks benefactor for saving me!”
“There’s no need to be polite, just get up and speak.” Chen Jing casually sat at the table as he spoke. The wine and food in this world were pretty good. Chen Jing had only tasted it just now. Now that things were over, he naturally had to enjoy it slowly.
“Thank you, benefactor.”
“Please take a seat. May I know how should I address you?” Chen Jing pointed to another round stool in front of the table and gestured for her to sit down.
“Replying to benefactor, my surname is Jiang, my name is Jade Letter, I’m not a lady.” Hearing Chen Jing’s words, the girl in colorful clothes sat down at the table and said carefully.
“What?” Chen Jing was shocked when he heard this. He couldn’t help but to get up to take a closer look. No matter how he looked at it, however, she was still a beautiful lady.
“Replying to benefactor, this jade letter has always been weak. Furthermore, it plays the role of a cape in the theater. Therefore, it has a bit of a daughter’s temper. Please do not blame benefactor.” Jiang Yuhan understood her own situation.
“Oh, I see. I wonder what happened just now?” Of course, Chen Jing now understood that this person was the same person who was loyal to Prince Shun in Dream of the Red Chamber, Jiang Yuhan. Naturally, Chen Jing despised him a little in his heart, but he was a cultured person, and Jiang Yuhan was also an important person in Dream of the Red Chamber.
“Reporting to benefactor, Yuhan is an orphan adopted by Linghua Theatre from a young age and loved by the class’s owner, Uncle Zhu. She has become a pillar of the troupe. Due to the fact that I often sing in the Jin’ling Aristocrat Clan and the Wang Mansion, I got to know a few princes and descendants. ”
“This morning, Yu Han was invited by the Fourth Prince to meet with him at the Duke’s Mansion. During the banquet, Yu Han changed into a costume to cheer him up, but who would have thought that the Fourth Prince would suddenly hug Yu Han and ask her to do what Long Yang had done? Yu Han panicked and pushed hard, pushing the Fourth Prince down onto his back, but to her surprise, the Fourth Prince’s head bumped into a rock, causing him to be unconscious for a moment. Fortunately, the jade letter was passed down by your foster father for a bit of effort before it was able to escape from the manor, and was saved by benefactor. ”
“Oh, I see.” It seemed that this Jiang Yuhan was not like the one described in the Dream of the Red Chamber. Therefore, Chen Jing’s impression of him had improved greatly.
“May I know how to address benefactor?” Where is the Celestial Village? “In the future, I’ll give you a brief report in the jade slip.”
“Brother Jiang, there is no need to be courteous. My surname is Chen, and I have followed Master in cultivating in the mountains since I was a child. I have just arrived at Jinling, and unfortunately, I met Brother Jiang. It is fate.” In order to better integrate into this society, Chen Jing had long invented a background in his heart, and now was the perfect time to tell it.
“Really, Brother Chen just arrived at Jinling? I wonder what your plans are? ” Hearing Chen Jing’s words, Jiang Yuhan’s heart skipped a beat as she asked.
“Since I don’t have much of a plan, I might as well take a walk around Jinling and find a random source of income in the future.” Naturally, Chen Jing had no other plans.
“Ah, that’s great!”
“Brother Jiang, why do you say that?”
“It’s like this, big brother Chen. I’ve formed a mercenary group with my friends, so I’m still lacking in manpower. If big brother doesn’t mind, I’d like to invite big brother to join me.”
“En, mercenary company? I’ll have to trouble Brother Jiang to introduce us. ” Chen Jing, who was still worrying about how to integrate himself into the crowd, couldn’t help but feel overjoyed.
“Our mercenary group is called Tian Lan, and our leader is Big Brother Shui Xuan. Big Brother Shui Xuan has an Earth Level early stage cultivation, and is the seventeenth prince of the current Emperor, the Titled King of Northern Tranquil Water. His second brother, Feng Ziying, was also an Earth level master, but only slightly lower than his eldest brother. He had just reached the Earth level, and his second brother was the son of the Divine Martial General’s estate. “Third brother is my little brother, and fourth brother is the young master of the Rong Country’s Jia family, known as Baoyu. Fourth brother Baoyu is also a genius of the Jia family, reaching the peak of Bone Refining before the age of eight.”
“Oh, I’m sorry, but we mountain people don’t have much experience. I wonder what Brother Jiang meant by ‘training the earth’ and ‘training the bones’?”
“I’m sorry, but when I say Earth and Bone Refining, I meant the level of the warriors, and when the warriors produce inner Qi, they would be at the Qi Condensation stage. Then, as the inner Qi became stronger, they would break through the profound entrances and reach the Invigorated Meridian realm; and then, the meat refining stage, which would open up all the meridians in the entire body and use inner Qi to temper the body. Of course, the next stage would be the Bone Refining stage. After the earth was the sky level, then the universe level, and then the Core Formation and Soul Formation. “It’s said that our Supreme Emperor is a Core Formation expert, and as for Soul Formation, that’s a myth. It’s said that the Murong Kingdom in the west, the Great Zhou Empire in the south, and even the immortals of the Immortal Sect.”
“What?” And Immortals. ”
“Of course, that’s the Immortal Sect.”
“Yes, I wonder where the Immortal Sect is?”
“Legend has it that our Clear Sky Star also had Immortal Sects. Unfortunately, they were moved away later on. Now, the Immortal Sects are all located on major planets such as Divine Jupiter and Heaven-Revolving Star.”
“I wonder if we can go to the God of Jupiter or the Celestial Star?”
Our Clear Sky Star has a star gate to a thick yellow star called the Yellow Sky Gate. We can pass through the thick yellow star to reach the Heavenly Star, but we can only open the Gate of Heaven once every three years. However, it’s already been two years since the last time we opened the Star Gate.
“Wait, you said that the Star Gate is open regularly?” Hearing this, Chen Jing’s heart skipped a beat and he couldn’t wait to ask.
“I don’t think so. Our Clear Sky Star has three star gates, and the most important one is the Yellow Heaven Gate which leads to a thick yellow star. The Yellow Heaven Gate opens once every three years, approximately half a month at a time. The second is the Gold Water Gate that leads to Water Spirit Star, and the third is the Chai Tian Gate that leads to Chai Yu planet. These two star gates are open throughout the year, but unfortunately, neither of these two planets have any other star gates. ”
Then do you know that there is another star gate, on the back of a big star, on the line with a small star, very close to a big star, opened once a year ago, and opened a little bigger than I am? How many times does this Star Gate open? ” “Chen Jing, of course, wanted to know the way home, so she asked eagerly.
“Sorry, Big brother Chen, what are the large stars and small stars you mentioned? The jade letter doesn’t understand. ” Jiang Yuhan’s astronomical thoughts were naturally different from Chen Jing’s.
“Oh, the big star I’m talking about is the sun above us right now.” Seeing this, Chen Jing could only point at the sun above his head and explain.
“Oh, so Big Brother was talking about the Sun Radiance Star and the Moon Brilliant Star. However, I’m not sure about the jade letter, but I don’t know who told you about the Star Gate.” Jiang Yuhan was clever, and quickly understood what Chen Jing meant.
“I didn’t hear it from anyone. It was just that last year, after walking around in the sky, I happened to see a hole there. Unfortunately, that hole became a small hole.” Chen Jing said helplessly.
“What?” Big Bro has been to the heavens? “Could big brother be a universe level?” Hearing that Chen Jing had gone overboard, Jiang Yuhan could not help but be shocked.
“According to Brother Jiang’s ranking just now, it should count as one.”
“Ah, so big brother is actually a super expert. I was disrespectful just now. I hope big brother won’t blame me.” Suddenly discovering that she was facing a Universe level warrior, Jiang Yuhan couldn’t help feeling nervous.
Brother Jiang called me big brother, and I think you’re my brother too. How can I blame you? If you think well of me, brother Jiang, then how about we become sworn brothers today?” After a short conversation, Chen Jing realized that Jiang Yuhan was a delicate and graceful girl, but she did not have the slightest bit of demoness. Instead, she would occasionally reveal a manly manliness, so he had a good impression of her.
“Really? This jade letter will be available today. Elder Brother, please accept this little brother’s respect. ” Hearing Chen Jing’s words, Jiang Yuhan was overjoyed, and quickly kneeled down and kowtowed to him.
“Brother Jiang, you’re too impatient. Aren’t we still not sworn brothers?” Seeing this, Chen Jing could not help but laugh.
“Big Bro is right, isn’t this little brother too happy? This little brother is 8 and a half years old this year, I wonder how old big brother is?”
What?” “Eight and a half years old?” “Chen did not know that Haotian was about 36 hours a day, or 482 days a year, so it was about two years on Earth a year.
“Yeah, how old is big brother this year?” Jiang Yuhan answered normally.
“Oh, big brother is already so old, I’m already over 30 years old.” At this point, Chen Jing could guess that this place was longer than Earth. After all, he had felt a little bit more comfortable these two days. Chen Jing had compared the time with his watch, which was about 36 hours on Earth. As a result, Chen Jing purposely talked about his age a little.
Afterwards, the two of them raised their cups in reverence and became brothers through life and death.
Inside Prince Zhongshun’s mansion, the fourth prince woke up half an hour after Jiang Yuhan ran away. When he woke up, he was naturally furious and ordered Jin’ling to capture Jiang Yuhan. After all, the fourth prince would not allow such a beautiful woman to escape from his hands! Therefore, they sent the chief reverend, Master Bai, to hunt them down.
“Idiots, idiots, they are all people who only eat!” Several hours had passed, but none of the good news had come back. As a result, the fourth prince became even more furious and smashed the antiques on the ground.
Finally, the white robed cultivator dragged his bloodied left arm back to the manor.
“Sir, how is it? Have you caught it? ” The fourth prince didn’t dare to show his face in front of Master Bai. After all, he was a Sky Realm master!
“Sigh, Your Royal Highness, I, Bai, am doomed today.” The white robed cultivator clutched his bleeding left arm as he spoke with an ugly expression.
“Parrot, quickly go and get good medicine for mister.” The fourth prince instructed the maidservants by his side before turning to the white robed cultivator and asked, “Mister, what is going on?”
“Your Royal Highness, just now, at the Pleasing Hut, I met an expert. He used a low-grade warrior tool to defeat the fan radiance produced by the Jade Bone Spirit Fan. He is definitely a Universe level expert!” Thinking of the experience just now, the white-robed cultivator broke out in a cold sweat.
“Universe level?” There are only a few people in the capital, so who do you think it is, mister? ” Hearing universe level, the 4th prince was naturally shocked too.
“He’s not from the imperial city. Even if he’s from Great Chen, I can guess, but he’s too unfamiliar.” The white-robed cultivator slowly said as he recalled in his mind.
“Really? “Sir, maybe our chance has come, royal father doesn’t have much time left, if we can recruit a Universe level …” The fourth prince’s mind was very flexible, and he immediately thought of a possibility.
“Your Royal Highness, you’re saying …” Hearing the fourth prince’s words, the white robed cultivator couldn’t help but have endless fantasies. If the fourth prince really was ranked 95th, then wouldn’t he be a meritorious general of the dragon?
“Sir, send an order to investigate this person’s background and prepare a generous gift. Tomorrow, I will personally pay a visit to this lord.” The fourth prince was in high spirits, as if he could see the glittering throne beckoning to him.
