Liu Tianming was surprised by Yuan Ming's attitude, but compared to it, he was even more confused by Yuan Ming's current strength.
"Brother Ming, tell me the truth, what is your cultivation level now?" Liu Tianming filled Yuan Ming's wine glass and asked.
"My cultivation level is still pill-forming, but I have a few important treasures in my hand. Even if Nascent Soul comes, I can protect myself." Yuan Ming picked up the wine and drank it slowly.
Liu Tianming was so shocked that he couldn't speak. If he hadn't known that Yuan Ming had never been a big talker, he would have thought that Yuan Ming was bragging.
But soon, he became troubled again. No matter how bad Changchun Temple was, after all, it was still his sect. Moreover, if things continued like this, Yuan Ming would kill many more monks in the alchemy stage, including those belonging to the royal family.
The elder cannot just sit back and watch. His great-grandfathers and grandfathers may also fight Yuan Ming to the death, which will be troublesome.
"Hey, Brother Ming, even if you want to give me some face, don't kill Zha Yancai yet... At least don't kill him now. She is now responsible for investigating the relationship between Zuo Qinghui's death and you. If something happens, anyone will
I think it was my subordinate's hand." Liu Tianming sighed and said.
When Yuan Ming heard this, he raised his head and looked at Liu Tianming without saying anything.
"If it doesn't work, you have to think of a way not to be exposed, at least not to make people think of you." Liu Tianming said with a bitter smile.
Yuan Ming nodded slightly: "That's all, let's keep her alive for the time being. However, when I came back this time, I actually just wanted to send my parents out of the capital and find another secret place to settle down, so as not to be caught and threatened by my enemies, but
I didn’t expect Changchun Temple to start so quickly.”
"Well, this is a good idea, but Brother Ming, have you ever chosen a place to live in seclusion? I'm not bragging. Although the Central Plains is huge, there really is no place that Changchun can't find. If you haven't chosen
It's a good location, but it will be troublesome if Cha Yancai finds it again." Liu Tianming was a little worried.
"This... is indeed a problem, but after all, this is where my parents will live for a long time in the future. I still have to look at their opinions." Yuan Ming was also a little troubled.
"That's it... If not, Brother Ming, do you want to take them to the East China Sea? I happen to have some friendship with the son of the owner of Qianlong Island in the East China Sea, and I can help you find a good place within the sphere of influence of Qianlong Island.
You first take General Yuan and his wife out of the capital and take the waterway to Haozhou to go to the sea. As an elder of Changchun Temple, Zha Yancai cannot go to the East China Sea without anything important, otherwise he will be hostile to the East China Sea Sect, so you can sit back and relax.
Alright." Liu Tianming thought for a while and suddenly suggested.
"East China Sea? I remember that the situation there was a bit chaotic because of the incident on Sanxian Island. I'm afraid it's not a stable place, right?" Yuan Ming said hesitantly.
"Hey, Brother Ming, you don't understand the situation. The East China Sea is the area with the most casual cultivators among the five regions of Yunhuang. It looks chaotic, but actually it is relatively speaking. There are just a lot of struggles among the casual cultivators. Under the rule of the serious sects,
There are almost no disputes in the sea areas. And the most important thing is that they are very open to casual cultivators. Even if you don't join, as long as you are willing to abide by the laws and regulations they set, you can get a place to rest and recuperate in the sea areas under their rule. And although there are
It is not as rich in products as the Central Plains, but its prosperity is not inferior to that of the Central Plains, and in terms of liveliness, it is even better." Liu Tianming waved his hand and said.
Yuan Ming nodded thoughtfully, showing emotion.
"Besides, Mrs. Yuan is now older. Although the capital city is prosperous, her spiritual veins are not the best. There are many islands under the rule of Qianlong Island, and there are many people with full spiritual veins. If you go to the East China Sea, you can also make your own choices. If
If you find someone with good spiritual veins, even if you can't cultivate immortality, you can still live longer. Maybe General Yuan can also use this to break through the foundation building barrier." Liu Tianming strongly recommended.
Liu Tianming's words touched Yuan Ming's heart, causing him to nod his head and say that he would discuss it with his parents when he got back.
Afterwards, the two chatted for a while, finalized some details, and stopped talking about these bad things. They drank and laughed with each other, talking about interesting things and experiences over the years, until it was dawn, and Yuan Ming just said goodbye and left.
…
In the front hall of Yuan Mansion, Miao Qing put down the herbal tea that she had refilled countless times, and she couldn't help but show anger on her face.
After his foundation was damaged, he adhered to the creed of being kind to others. Even when facing casual cultivators, he greeted them with a smile and never conflicted with anyone.
However, even with his temperament, sitting here drinking herbal tea all night, he would inevitably feel a little angry.
After all, he was a master of the Jin Dynasty who was born in Changchun Temple and a monk in the late stage of foundation building. Even though Yuan Ming had the strength to kill Yuhu back then, he was not Yuhu after all. It was really annoying to be so disrespectful.
However, rather than being angry, Miao Qing was more worried about Zha Yancai's reaction after returning.
With Zha Yancai's character, even if Yuan Ming deliberately avoided seeing him, as long as he didn't take the person back, he would definitely be labeled as having trouble doing things. This was the main reason why he would rather wait here.
Although Zha Yancai didn't give him a light whip like she did to ordinary disciples, just listening to her scolding was uncomfortable enough.
Just as Miao Qing was contemplating whether to find a way to force Yuan Ming out on his own initiative, footsteps suddenly came from outside the house.
Miao Qing raised her eyebrows and immediately stood up and looked toward the door.
With his hearing, he could naturally tell the identity of the person from the footsteps, whether it was the guard named Fu or the servant who came to make tea.
Just as he expected, the footsteps soon stopped in front of the door, and Yuan Ming, whom he had been looking forward to all night, finally appeared in front of him.
"The Imperial Master is here. Please forgive me for not being able to welcome you from afar." Yuan Ming said politely, but he just casually held his hand and sat down directly at the main seat without waiting for Miao Qing to respond.
A trace of anger flashed in Miao Qing's eyes, but when he discovered that the spiritual energy fluctuations emanating from Yuan Ming's body far exceeded his, a smile appeared on his face again.
"Haha, I have heard for a long time that Mr. Yuan is young and promising. Now that I see him, he is indeed well-deserved. He has entered the realm of pill formation at such a young age. It is really enviable." Miao chuckled.
"The National Master has received the award. If it hadn't been for Taoist Priest Yuhu's plan to make me live in southern Xinjiang, I'm afraid I wouldn't have achieved what I have today. Speaking of this, I still want to express my gratitude to Changchun Temple." Yuan Mingpi replied with a smile.
.
Miao Qing's smile froze again, knowing that Yuan Ming would not give him a good look, so she simply stopped talking in circles and went straight to the topic.
"I wonder if Mr. Yuan has heard of the name Zuo Qinghui. He is an elder in the Dan Temple. He has been missing for some time. It is said that he met you for the last time before he disappeared. Elder Zha of this temple wants to
I want to ask you about the situation at that time. If Mr. Yuan is free, why not come with me to meet Elder Zha now." Miao Qing said, turning around and making a gesture of invitation.
"Is this necessary?" Yuan Ming raised his eyes and glanced at Miao Qing casually.
"...This matter is of great importance. Elder Zuo and Elder Zha have a close relationship. If Mr. Yuan doesn't go, I'm afraid Elder Zha will think too much about it, and other elders of this temple may also think too much about it." Miao Qing gradually put away her smile,
With a hint of threat.
"Haha, you misunderstood. I mean, I have nothing to do with Elder Zuo's disappearance. He left directly after meeting and talking to me. I don't know where he went after that. Now I have just returned home after many years.
I want to spend more time with my parents. Since these troubles have nothing to do with me, why should I go and cooperate, don’t you think so, Imperial Master?" Yuan Ming smiled and said.
Miao Qing took a deep breath and looked grim: "How can the words of Young Master Yuan and his family be used as evidence? Please don't refuse anymore and come with me. Elder Cha will find out on his own."
"Your Changchun Temple suspects that I have something to do with that Zuo Qinghui's disappearance. Isn't it just a matter of family? Oh, Cha Yancai wants me to go. Yes, as long as you provide concrete evidence to prove that Zuo Qinghui's disappearance is indeed related to me, I will definitely
I will cooperate with the investigation, otherwise, please don't disturb my reunion with my parents. Sorry, I won't send you off." Yuan Ming stood up, flicked his sleeves and walked out.
Miao Qing watched Yuan Ming leave with a livid face. He stood in the room and thought for a moment, then suddenly raised his hand and used his magic power to slap his chest hard.
Immediately afterwards, his body flew out of the house "uncontrollably", even breaking the door, and rolled around on the ground before he could stop.
Outside the house, before Yuan Ming could walk far, he looked up and saw Miao Qing flying out upside down, and was stunned.
"I'm trying to persuade you, but I don't want Young Master Yuan to be so overbearing. I will report everything today to Elder Cha, and then she will personally seek advice from Young Master Yuan." Miao Qing said loudly with a trace of blood on the corner of her mouth.
said.
As soon as he finished speaking, Miao Qing took out the magic weapon and flew away, heading towards the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion.
When Yuan Ming saw this, he just smiled slightly, did not stop him, turned around and continued walking forward.
Imperial Prefecture.
As the residence of successive imperial masters of the Jin Dynasty, this place was built by many skilled craftsmen who are enough to leave their names in history. Whether it is the landscape architecture or the pavilions, they all have an ethereal and fairy atmosphere. When it comes to the scenery, it even surpasses
Royal Palace.
After Yuhu's death, this place naturally became Miao Qing's residence, but after Zha Yancai arrived, it became her temporary residence.
When Miao Qing, who was seriously injured, returned to the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion, Zha Yancai also happened to end his training.
"Where is Yuan Ming? You didn't bring him back? What happened to your injuries?" Zha Yancai frowned when he saw that Miao Qianqian was seriously injured.
At this time, Miao Qing's body was more injured than when he left Yuan Mansion. Facing Zha Yancai's inquiry, he did not hide anything and said Yuan Ming's words intact.
Just a little bit of polishing at the end.
"... At that time, Yuan Ming turned around and was about to leave. The disciple immediately stepped forward to stop him and wanted to persuade him again. Unexpectedly, Yuan Ming immediately became furious and directly attacked the disciple. He had already formed a pill. How could the disciple be his opponent? He could only
You ran for your life in a hurry and failed to bring him back, so please ask Elder Cha to punish you." Miao Qing said with a look of self-blame.
Hearing this, Zha Yancai's eyes flashed, revealing a look that was indeed true.
Miao Qing was a little surprised for a moment, but soon, Zha Yancai calmed down and shook his head slightly.
"Yuan Ming bullied the young, and it's not your fault for not being able to bring him back. There is no need for punishment. You are seriously injured now. You don't need to worry about the rest of the matter. Go down and rest in peace."
"Thank you, Elder Cha, for your kindness." Miao Qing bowed to Zha Yancai with tears in her eyes, and then slowly exited the room.
Zha Yancai looked at this scene with a slight movement in his eyes.
The injuries on Miao Qing's body were not caused by Yuan Ming, she knew this.
However, Miao Qing is Elder Miao's son after all. Since she wants to escape, she doesn't mind giving him a favor.
What's more, the steps Miao Qing built for her to escape may not be incapable of being used by her.
The most important thing now is to deal with Yuan Ming. Zuo Qinghui once told her that he had a new way to make money and wanted to share it with her. He said that he would come back to explain in detail in a few days, but since then, he has disappeared.
news.
I tracked him all the way, and although I finally found Yuan Ming, I always felt that he was not strong enough.
But now, Yuan Ming has been promoted to Jiedan. He is a casual cultivator with not enough talent. How could he have the ability to break through so quickly? He must have managed to plot against Zuo Qinghui and take his inheritance, which is why he has achieved today's achievements.
Zha Yancai felt determined and pondered for a moment. Suddenly, a white light flashed across his body, and then he disappeared into the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion.
