Chapter 87 This is for his own good
Late spring, March.
It's the perfect time to travel.
Leigushan Mountain in Runan, the Valley of Deafness and Muteness.
Qi Ming took a sip of tea and said to Wu Yazi:
"...Therefore, neither of them wanted to come. As for Ding Chunqiu, I needed to keep him around to test the medicine, so I didn't kill him. You shouldn't mind, right?"
Wu Yazi remained silent for a moment, then smiled bitterly:
"I have let them down, and I have no face to face them. It would be better not to see them at all."
"Ding Chunqiu, it's fine if I don't kill him. But with all my skills, I should find a good successor."
Qi Ming shook his head: "Yu Yan and the others don't want to practice the Northern Darkness Divine Art, so you can keep it for yourself! Maybe in seven or eight years, when my medicine is ready, it will be able to help you stand up again."
The internal energy cultivation of the Free and Unfettered Sect is indeed a cultivation of both body and mind; the power is present in the person, and when the power dissipates, the person dies.
Upon hearing this, Wu Yazi's mood improved considerably. He immediately removed the Seven Treasures Ring from his left hand and solemnly presented it to Qi Ming, saying earnestly:
"This ring is the token of the leader of the Free and Unfettered Sect. I am crippled and no longer suitable to be the leader, so you shall take over!"
Qi Ming didn't refuse and readily accepted it, putting it on his wrist.
He possesses the Northern Darkness Divine Art, the Lesser Formless Art, and the Everlasting Youth Art.
The Free and Unfettered Sect has a rule that the disciple with the strongest martial arts skills can become the sect leader.
If he doesn't become the leader, who will?
Outside the cabin.
Upon seeing the ring on Qi Ming's hand, Su Xinghe quickly stepped forward, cupped his hands in greeting, and said, "Greetings, Sect Leader!"
Xue Mu Hua and the other "Eight Friends of Hangu Pass" also bowed down to him.
Qi Ming nodded and said to the Eight Friends of Hangu, "It would be best if you all settled in Suzhou in the future. If I have the time, I want to learn some miscellaneous skills from you."
The eight friends were all very excited upon hearing this.
Abi's master, "Qin Dian" Kang Guangling, turned around and said:
"Junior brother, junior sister, we can all return to our sect now!"
Qi Ming laughed heartily: "This is a joyous occasion, but I have to travel far away. You all go and celebrate on your own; I won't join you. See you in Suzhou!"
The eight friends exchanged glances and said in unison:
"Respectfully seeing off the Sect Leader and his wife!"
Li Qinglu was also there.
She was the only one.
Wang Yuyan had no companion.
It wasn't that she was sneaking off to find her beloved cousin, but rather that she had "formed the Nascent Soul" stage and it was inconvenient for her to travel far.
Azhu and the others stayed to keep her company.
Inside the carriage.
Li Qinglu hugged her husband, fiddling with her slender fingers, and asked with a hint of jealousy, "With so many women, don't you feel tired?"
Qi Ming smiled and asked in return, "You're my favorite person. You'll always be number one in my heart. Don't you agree?"
"My cousin isn't as good as me? She already has children, why don't I?"
"If you were pregnant, how could I take you on a trip now? Don't worry, what's meant for you will definitely come to you."
"What about A'Zhu and the others? There's Wan's sister, Ling's sister, the four sisters Mei, Lan, Zhu, and Ju, and Xiao Yunniang, plus a famous courtesan they keep. How many are there in total?"
"Besides Miss Zhou, which of them have I ever touched? You're just slandering me. I'm a perfectly respectable man!"
"Pfft~ You heartless radish, I hate you so much!"
"Love me or hate me, for all eternity, okay?"
"Honey, I will only love you, I will never hate you."
"..."
The next day.
Ding Chunqiu's third disciple, Zhui Fengzi, came over and respectfully reported:
"Master, Master Ding has captured the fat monk. To avoid the heavy snow blocking the mountain pass, he has immediately set off westward to capture the Kunlun Ice Silkworm!"
Having said that, he presented a gourd covered in white frost with both hands.
There is also a red rope on the gourd.
Otherwise, if you carry it all the way, you'll freeze to death.
Qi Ming reached out and took it, poured the ice silkworm into his palm, played with it for a while, and sighed:
"These silkworms are so cute! With these little creatures, the ice cellar is no longer needed, which saves us some money!"
Li Qinglu touched it briefly, then quickly withdrew her hand, and said with a smile in her voice:
"We still need an ice cellar, otherwise how can I be a dream maiden?"
Qi Menglang laughed and said to Zhuifengzi, "Is there anything else? If not, go after Lao Ding, don't just stand here."
Of course something happened.
I haven't even had a chance to flatter him yet!
Zhui Fengzi exclaimed in admiration, "Master's divine skills are unparalleled! Even this strange ice silkworm cannot escape his grasp! My admiration for Master is like a surging river, never-ending..."
Don't underestimate these flatteries.
When Ding Chunqiu is fighting someone, hearing these flattering words will improve his skills!
This is also the setting of the original work.
Qi Ming laughed and scolded, "Alright, enough of that stuff. Don't try it again. I don't like being flattered by men! Let's go!"
Ice silkworms are very important.
But he himself was too lazy to go.
They always mention Kunlun and Tianshan Mountains, thousands or tens of thousands of miles away!
You can use teleportation in Heroes of Might and Magic, but to get to Qi Ming's location, you have to run on foot!
As for the beautiful natural scenery...
It's nothing special, really!
Tokyo.
Qi Ming, Li Qinglu, and Zhou Nan went to Sangjia Wazi, watched a play, and then went to Jieshen Lane to play.
This place sells top-tier luxury goods, which women are interested in; not far away, there's another shop that men are interested in: a shop that sells falcons.
Qi Ming also ordered two, but they haven't arrived yet... Why did he buy them? He also has the original Blood Orchid.
Later I can feed it to eagles and become a legendary hero!
While I was strolling around, Quan Guanqing hurriedly ran over.
evening.
Huixian Restaurant in Xinmenli... Of its seventy-two main branches, this one is one of the most prestigious.
Even just drinking a little wine, the silver wine vessels alone are worth a hundred taels of silver, which gives a glimpse into the current extravagant lifestyle.
Qi Ming came here tonight mainly to entertain Xiao Feng, the former leader of the Beggars' Sect, and his father, Xiao Yuanshan.
After a few rounds of drinks.
Qi Ming suggested, "Those two are so focused on hiding, they're really hard to find. You need to think of a way to lure them out."
Xiao Feng sighed, "They've obtained the Six Meridians Divine Sword and the Yi Jin Jing. Even if we lure them out, what then? This is the blood feud of killing my mother, alas!"
Xiao Yuanshan also showed a worried look in his eyes.
Qi Ming laughed and said, "Those two aren't like you; they simply don't have the talent to cultivate these two divine skills. Don't worry! As for how to lure them out, I have a plan!"
It's not that I lack talent, it's that I lack the secret formula!
Xiao Feng was very interested and quickly asked Qi Ming for advice.
Qi Ming said with a smile.
He then explained the characteristics of "the shifting of stars and the changing of constellations" to the two of them.
Cousin? He should just die!
This is for his own good.
Otherwise, he might be pestered by a cousin who's about to get pregnant, demanding to become a father unexpectedly.
end of July.
Xiao Feng, along with Wu Laoda, Sword God Zhuo Bufan, and others, arrived at Yanziwu.
It's mainly for two things.
First, to announce the deaths of the Murong family father and son.
Secondly, it was to plead for the lords of the thirty-six caves and seventy-two islands under the control of the Life and Death Talisman.
Wang Yuyan, heavily pregnant, nearly fainted upon hearing the news.
But in the end, there was nothing they could do.
Blood Orchid cannot cure the dead.
Qi Ming naturally agreed to remove the talismans from those demons and monsters, but he kept some things to himself. Then, as per the rules, he gave each of them a small notebook, instructing them to do good deeds.
Whoever has the most trees at the end of the year will have all of them removed.
Everyone agreed, cheered, and were deeply grateful.
The old woman, who had been transformed into a young girl by the divine medicine, felt uneasy. Qi Ming spent some time and effort, and even after receiving a slap, he managed to appease her.
