Volume 1: Zhao Shanhe Chapter 127 This Game Has Been Completed
At the same time that Ji Yuan and others arrived at the county town, the news that all the spokespersons of the thirteen forces had died in Qianyu City spread quickly and silently.
In just one or two hours, the news had spread to the ears of all the big and small forces in the county and city, and countless people were in an uproar.
And tonight is destined to never be peaceful. No one knows how many people will pay the price because of this incident, and how many "drowned" corpses will appear in the river tomorrow.
But these have nothing to do with Ji Yuan for the time being.
Now he was standing in a room. After carefully confirming that no one had hidden any secrets here, he took out a set of formation flags and placed them in the room.
This set of formation flags was handed over to him by Song He. It has the effect of isolating spiritual energy and other fluctuations. It can also prevent outsiders from exploring the situation in the formation at will, and it can also play a certain protective role.
After arranging the formation flags, Ji Yuan sat cross-legged in the quiet room and looked at the large, square, four-legged bronze cauldron in front of him.
This tripod was specially used for refining weapons, and nine levels of prohibitions were engraved on it. If its value was comparable to a magical weapon, he borrowed it from Qian Nishang specially.
He looked thoughtful, then he patted the mountain bag on his waist, a stream of light passed by, and dozens of spiritual materials suddenly appeared out of thin air beside him.
"Cracked gold stone, floating rosy jade, flowing moon steel, three-color wooden heart, pure yang spiritual blood, extremely yin primordial water..."
Looking at this pile of spiritual materials, Ji Yuan's mind immediately thought of their corresponding names and their respective effects.
Among them are gold and iron objects, many elixirs, and even materials from spiritual beasts. They are all things recorded in the Xuantian Sword Jue as being used to cast the natal flying sword.
For a sword cultivator, a perfect natal flying sword can undoubtedly maximize one's killing power, and it will also have endless benefits for the future path to the great road.
Among the complete sword techniques, the most suitable method of casting flying swords is naturally indispensable.
But now there are two choices before Ji Yuan, which makes him a little confused about how to decide.
Xuantian Sword Art's exclusive flying sword can either refine a suitable flying sword or cast one yourself. In terms of the fit of the flying sword, the latter is definitely better.
But there is another prerequisite. If you find a flying sword that perfectly suits your own path, it will be a different matter.
And it just so happened that he had a flying sword in his hand that was more suitable for him and of extremely high quality than the one he could cast by himself.
After pondering for a long time, Ji Yuan stretched out his hand and tapped the center of his eyebrows. The white jade flying sword that had been warmed in the Zi Mansion suddenly emerged and floated quietly in front of it.
As if sensing the master's thoughts, the white jade flying sword named "Xiao Bai" couldn't help but become a little brighter with the colorful glow flowing on it.
"After all, he is also a powerful wild cultivator. He stole the Thousand Miles Jade Vein and refined it with ten thousand years of chalcedony. Even if it is not the best magic weapon in the world, it should be close to it, right?"
He murmured to himself, his eyes full of thinking.
This sword is based on jade, and its body is innately transcendent of the five elements. It does not have any attributes. It is equivalent to a piece of white paper on which you can draw and splash ink at will.
Ji Yuan only needs to refine it into the natal flying sword, and then use the secret method recorded in the Xuantian Sword Art, supplemented by various spiritual materials to feed it, and then he can gradually develop the required characteristics of the sword art.
In this way, it is much more convenient than forging a flying sword by himself, and it will also be of great benefit to his future practice.
However, once Xiaobai is refined, it is equivalent to him completely taking over the cause and effect of the past. The two can no longer be separated. In the future, he may be targeted by the powerful people who snatched him away from him in the future.
This is also the root of Ji Yuan's struggle for a long time. If it were not the case, he would refine it into his own flying sword without hesitation.
"If you don't give it to God, you will suffer the consequences!"
After burning the incense, he gritted his teeth and finally made a decision.
Since he got this opportunity due to some mysterious luck, the next step is that even if there will be many troubles in the future, it will only happen in the future.
And who knows, this will
Is it going to be decades or hundreds of years from now?
Having made a decision in his heart, Ji Yuan no longer delayed, and immediately began to form seals with his hands according to the records in the sword formula.
When the one hundred and eight dharma seals were formed, the essence in his body immediately poured out and condensed into a mysterious character seal in front of him. With his thoughts, it was imprinted on Xiaobai's sword.
On the body.
In an instant, colorful rays of light filled the entire quiet room, and the seals on the sword continued to penetrate, and finally remained completely within the sword body.
Seeing this scene, he stuffed a few pills to restore vitality into his mouth, then made a magic spell with one hand, and pointed at the dozens of spiritual materials around him with the other hand.
With the next breath, Xiaobai swayed and appeared on top of many spiritual materials, followed by a roll of colorful rays of light, as if there were eighteen kinds of spiritual materials floating around the sword body.
"Eat to your heart's content!"
Ji Yuan's eyes flashed, and when he finished speaking, countless rays of light suddenly appeared in these spiritual materials.
These rays of light contained the essence of the spiritual material itself, and they were absorbed into the white jade flying sword one after another. A small part of it was condensed deep in the sword body, and most of the remaining part was absorbed by Xiao Bai in the Xuanzi seal.
Not long after, only the residues of the eighteen kinds of spiritual materials were left, and Xiaobai rolled them aside with the colorful glow, looking like he was a little disgusted.
Then it shook and turned into a stream of light, returning to Ji Yuan's Zi Mansion and diving into the majestic lake of sword energy.
"It should be... considered done, right?"
Ji Yuan murmured, feeling that there was finally a weak connection between himself and Xiaobai, and then smiled unconsciously.
Although this spiritual object refined by a powerful person finally chose him as its first owner after three hundred years.
But before tonight, there was not even the slightest connection between the two, let alone the connection that the monk pursues with his own magic weapon.
But now that the Xuanzi Seal is complete, there is finally a weak connection between them.
"But if you want to truly refine the Flying Sword of Life, you need to have mana and then slowly work on it."
He seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly sighed, with a slightly sad look on his face.
Now he has indeed connected with Xiaobai, but there is still a long way to go before he can completely refine the Flying Sword of Life.
The most important thing is that you need to reach the second realm and have magic power in your body before you can continue to use other secret techniques recorded in the sword formula.
And in this process, the various spiritual materials that need to be consumed are frighteningly large. The batch purchased from Qian Nishang alone is barely enough for a start.
Ji Yuan felt a pang of pain when he thought about the huge expenditure required in the future. This was one of the reasons why he was previously struggling with whether to refine Xiao Bai into a flying sword of his own life.
"Let's see if this Li family can make me a lot of money before I leave!"
Ji Yuan's eyes flashed, and he began to look forward to the next few days.
Then he closed his eyes, and while practicing the second level of the Xuantian Sword Technique, he also used his mind to continuously warm the flying sword in Zifu.
The night passed in a blink of an eye, and it was not until three o'clock in the morning that he ended his practice, opened the door of the house and came to the courtyard.
At this time, Qian Nishang had been waiting in the elegant pavilion for a long time. When he saw him appearing, he got up and walked slowly.
"Let's go and take you to receive the benefits of the special offering."
She blinked and said with a smile on her face.
Although she had not slept all night, Qian Nishang's energy and energy showed no signs of sluggishness at all. From time to time, golden light appeared on her body, and merits were gathering from somewhere all the time.
"What happened last night?"
Ji Yuan walked side by side with her, and then asked casually.
In fact, even without asking, he had already guessed several general outcomes in his mind, and no matter which one it was, it had no impact on the subsequent plan.
Hearing this, Qian Nishang pondered for a moment and then told what happened last night
Things come one by one.
First of all, the news that all the members of the thirteen families were lost in Qianyu City spread to the ears of the large and small forces in the county and city in a very short period of time, causing an uproar.
Immediately afterwards, Li Wenqing returned to the county governor's mansion. In less than half an hour, hundreds of officers and soldiers, following the order of the county governor, wiped out all the properties of thirteen families in the city on the charge of attacking and killing the imperial officials.
Check.
In one night, thousands of people were imprisoned for this, and most of them were people belonging to the thirteen families.
It was not until after dawn that news came out from the county governor's mansion, saying that the spokespersons of the thirteen families were jealous of the huge merits of disaster relief, and even coveted huge profits, so they joined forces to kill the leader Li Wenqing.
Fortunately, a Third Realm monk from the Li family took action and killed all those who had evil intentions. He supported Li Wenqing all the way back to the county and reported the matter to the county governor.
Just like that, last night, thirteen powerful properties were raided.
Even early in the morning, the county governor sent people to the courtyards of each family involved and summoned the person in charge to the county governor's mansion to give an explanation.
"I heard that the county magistrate has asked people to collect evidence and is ready to investigate thoroughly."
Qian Nishang chuckled, feeling a bit gloating about his misfortune.
During the conversation, the two of them had walked out of the Qian family's mansion and boarded the carriage that had been waiting for them for a long time.
"As a county guard, I have collected countless criminal evidence from various families and factions over the years that violated the laws of Dayu."
She leaned on the carriage and said with a deep look: "Normally, even if these evidences are brought out, it will be useless. There are always various ways to get rid of them. If it doesn't work, we will introduce a few scapegoats to take the blame."
But things are different now. The news of the attack on the imperial official has spread throughout the county and city. A notice was posted in the county governor's office early this morning. I am afraid that many people in the city are already aware of it.
As a result, these forces need to choose one of them and admit it with pinching their noses among the attacks and murders of imperial officials and other crimes they commit in daily life.
Otherwise, once reported to the court, it would be equivalent to a dead end.
As long as the leaders of the thirteen families are not stupid, they will definitely choose the latter and pay an extremely heavy price to let the "angry" Lord Sheriff calm down.
"A single family would probably have to spend at least hundreds of thousands of taels of silver and introduce a few unpopular direct disciples to appease the governor's anger."
Qian Nishang said with emotion.
A family's hundreds of thousands of taels of silver add up to tens of millions of taels, which is equivalent to a year's tax revenue for a whole government.
Most of them will definitely be turned over to the city, but a lot of them will fall into the pockets of the county governor, which can be regarded as a huge profit.
Even because in recent years, the county governor has spent almost all his family wealth in order to extend his life and to seriously injured his youngest son. This time a great opportunity comes to his door, I am afraid that this knife will be more cruel.
And for Li Wenqing, who was given such an opportunity, his status in the county governor's mansion will inevitably rise sharply, and he will become a popular person in front of the county governor. No one dares to take revenge easily.
In this way, the losses and anger of the thirteen families can only be vented on the Li family.
Otherwise, as a major force, if it suffers such a big loss and remains silent, its reputation will be damaged, and it will inevitably be provoked by other forces in the future.
Not to mention tens of millions of taels of silver, which is by no means a small sum for these forces. Not to mention a serious loss of vitality, at least it is a loss of strength and bones.
Naturally, they cannot bear such a loss by themselves, they have to find someone to bear it for them.
No one even needed to add fuel to the flames, the thirteen families would come together on their own and jointly put pressure on the Li family, who played a key role in this matter.
As for whether anyone on both sides will realize that this is probably a game and someone is plotting against them, it seems to be unimportant.
Because the game has been completed, no matter whether they like it or not, they can only step into the game one step at a time, and live and die according to their destiny.
