At this time, Xiao Zhao suddenly nudged Qu Feiyan and asked, "Didn't the young master poison this courtyard? Why didn't Jellyfish Yinji get poisoned just now?"
Facing Xiao Zhao's question, Qu Feiyan explained, "Young Master, the poison was placed in the inner courtyard, not in the front yard. Otherwise, if the wind blew, a warrior passing by on the street would lie directly at the door. Then every time you open the door, there would be a corpse. How unlucky that would be!"
After getting Qu Feiyan's explanation, Xiao Zhao thought of the position where Yao Yue and the jellyfish Yin Ji had stood before, and then he nodded with a look of sudden realization.
"Too!"
After replying to Xiao Zhao, Qu Feiyan thought for a moment and said in confusion, "But didn't the Hundred Flowers Ranking a year ago record that this Jellyfish Yin Ji had a graceful figure similar to that of you, Sister Yue? But the Jellyfish Yin Ji just now looked like she was almost as tall as you, right?"
In response, Yao Yue glanced at Qu Feiyan and said indifferently: "I don't know, and it doesn't matter."
If that Jellyfish Yin Ji was still on the Hundred Flowers Ranking, perhaps Yao Yue would be more interested.
But since the Jellyfish Yin Ji had been removed from the Hundred Flowers List by Bai Xiaosheng , the only person that caught Yao Yue's eye was naturally Dongfang Bubai.
As for what happened to Jellyfish Yin Ji, Yao Yue didn't care at all.
The other side.
After Jellyfish Yin Ji and the Shenshui Palace disciple named Sun left the roof of Chu Qinghe's front yard, they did not go directly to the north of the city.
Instead, it moved to another street and then fell from the air.
However, although the person had left, Jellyfish Yin Ji's thoughts seemed to be left on the man carved under the tree.
“Ahem!”
However, at this moment, a coughing sound suddenly came into the ears of Jellyfish Yin Ji.
Hearing the sound, Jellyfish Yin Ji moved her gaze slightly, and saw that there was a bright red bloodstain on the originally white veil of the disciple of the Shenshui Palace named Sun.
Seeing this, the inner energy of Jellyfish Yin Ji flowed through her hand into the body of the Shenshui Palace disciple named Sun.
Under the nourishment of this powerful true Qi, the injuries that the Shenshui Palace disciple surnamed Sun had suffered previously quickly improved. In just a dozen breaths, the spirit in the eyes of the Shenshui Palace disciple surnamed Sun also recovered.
After Jellyfish Yin Ji released her hand, the Shenshui Palace disciple surnamed Sun hurriedly said, "Thank you, Palace Master."
Hearing this, Jellyfish Yin Ji said indifferently, "Hmm", and then said: "Then Yao Yue is also in Yu Shui City, did you know this before?"
The Shenshui Palace disciple surnamed Sun responded, "Palace Master, I did see her in Master Chu's courtyard before, but I didn't expect that girl to be Yao Yue, the Grand Palace Master of Yihua Palace."
Jellyfish Yin Ji was not too surprised by this reply.
"Yao Yue has already reached the perfection of the Grandmaster Realm. If she doesn't want to, it's normal that you can't detect her cultivation level given your strength."
Then, looking at the jellyfish Yin Ji in front of him with a thoughtful look in her eyes, the Shenshui Palace disciple surnamed Sun asked in a low voice: "What about Mr. Chu's current situation..."
Knowing what the disciple surnamed Sun from the Shenshui Palace meant, Shui Ji Yin said, "My Shenshui Palace and Yihua Palace have always kept to themselves and have no grudges. This place is also within the Yihua Palace's sphere of influence. With Yao Yue here, it's not a good idea to act too aggressively."
After a few pauses, Shuiji Yinji continued, "Also, I just saw the young man surnamed Chu you mentioned. He doesn't look like a bad person. He doesn't seem to be in league with people like Tian Boguang. I think the identity jade token has nothing to do with him."
The argument was well-reasoned and not at all biased.
The Shenshui Palace disciple surnamed Sun: “???????”
Hearing what Jellyfish Yin Ji said at this time, the disciple of Shenshui Palace surnamed Sun couldn't help but look a little confused.
Obviously, he was a little confused by Jellyfish Yin Ji's inconsistent attitude and reaction.
However, seeing how Jellyfish Yin Ji was at the moment, it was clear that she was not going to pursue the matter any further. This was naturally the best thing to happen in the eyes of the Shenshui Palace disciple surnamed Sun.
Then, Jellyfish Yin Ji said, "Let's go! Today is not a good time, come visit me tomorrow!"
The Shenshui Palace disciple surnamed Sun originally thought that the matter had come to an end after what Jellyfish Yin Ji had just said, but he never expected that Jellyfish Yin Ji had no intention of giving up.
He immediately couldn't help but asked in astonishment: "Palace Master, don't you also think that Master Chu has nothing to do with the jade token? Why did you come again?"
Jellyfish Yin Ji glanced at the disciple of Shenshui Palace named Sun.
Noticing the look in Jellyfish Yin Ji's eyes, the Shenshui Palace disciple surnamed Sun immediately realized his offense and lowered his head in shock.
Thinking of the unpredictable and bloodthirsty Jellyfish Yin Ji in the past year and the punishment she suffered for a wrong word before, his heart was unconsciously filled with fear.
However, what surprised the Shenshui Palace disciple surnamed Sun was that after Shuiji Yinji glanced at her, she did not take action directly as she did outside the city before. Instead, she said calmly: "Since Yaoyue is here, she must have discovered your previous surveillance. This place is also the sphere of influence of Yihua Palace. If I leave like this, how will outsiders view my Shenshui Palace after the news gets out?"
"You've traveled for such a long time. It would be rude to meet you in such a dusty state. Please wait until you have showered before visiting me!"
The Shenshui Palace disciple surnamed Sun bowed his head and said, "It was my fault for not considering it carefully."
Jellyfish Yin Ji said softly, "Go and call the people outside the city in, and find a place to settle them temporarily in Yushui City."
After the disciple of Shenshui Palace named Sun left, Shuiji Yinji slowly turned her head and looked towards the direction of the courtyard where Chu Qinghe was. The image of the young man with the flower-carved wood under the tree unconsciously emerged in her mind, and her eyes flickered slightly.
However, when a Yao Yue appeared in the picture in her mind, Jellyfish Yin Ji frowned again.
…
After one stick of incense.
As Chu Qinghe had a new wooden sculpture in his hand, he slowly stood up and moved around a bit, having maintained almost the same posture before.
Seeing Chu Qinghe stand up, Qu Feiyan, who was originally practicing in the courtyard, came over immediately.
However, before Qu Feiyan could speak, Chu Qinghe said lazily, "I know that the Jellyfish Yin Ji from the Divine Water Palace was here just now."
Although after entering the Grandmaster's state of mind, Chu Qinghe was able to reach a state where there was no self or other.
But the absence of both the self and the world does not mean death. Chu Qinghe can naturally perceive the situation in the outside world.
Seeing that Chu Qinghe actually knew this, Qu Feiyan was stunned.
"Since you know this, why didn't you react at all just now, sir?"
Chu Qinghe said unhappily, "Isn't Yao Yue here? Why should I be anxious?"
Therefore, the benefits of having an expert at home are reflected.
If it were just the two girls, Qu Feiyan and Xiao Zhao, Chu Qinghe would have to be careful when encountering problems.
But with notorious masters like Yao Yue or Dongfang Bubai, Chu Qinghe felt a lot more relaxed.
Then, Qu Feiyan asked, "But that jellyfish Yin Ji didn't seem to be that good either. Sister Yue said a few words and she left on her own."
Xiao Zhao on the side said: "After all, this is Sister Yue's Yihua Palace's sphere of influence. Although Shenshui Palace is a top-level force, they should not rashly offend it."
Listening to the two women's voices, Yao Yue, who was still practicing in the courtyard, snorted and said, "It's not that simple. If I'm not mistaken, that Jellyfish Yin Ji will come again in the next two days."
Hearing this, Qu Feiyan muttered, "That's right. After all, I am the Palace Master of Shenshui Palace. I have come so far. If I leave just because of a few words from Sister Yue, it would be beneath my dignity."
However, knowing that Jellyfish Yin Ji would come again, Xiao Zhao said in bewilderment: "If she was going to come again, why did she leave so easily just now?"
Qu Feiyan thought for a moment and said, "Perhaps I didn't expect Sister Yue to be with you, so I'm going to leave and think about it first!"
After a while, after the two little girls pondered and guessed, Qu Feiyan looked at Yao Yue and asked, "Sister Yue, how do you feel about the strength of Jellyfish Yin Ji compared to yours?"
In response to Qu Feiyan's question, Yao Yue sneered and said in a cold and arrogant voice: "Below the Grandmaster level, who else is qualified to compete with me except that woman?"
Even though her cultivation is still at the middle stage of the Grandmaster Realm, with the help of the eighth level of "Ming Yu Gong", the "Return to Nature" level of "Yi Hua Jie Yu" and the "Zong Yi Deng Xian Bu" obtained from Chu Qinghe, Yao Yue is confident that she can face off against Jellyfish Yin Ji, who has reached the perfection of the Grandmaster Realm.
Not to mention that everyone has reached the perfect state of Grandmaster Realm now, so how could they take Jellyfish Yin Ji seriously?
After a moment, as Yao Yue once again activated the internal force in the magnolia flower in her hand, she felt Chu Qinghe's internal force flowing through her body suddenly interrupted. Yao Yue, who was circulating her true energy along with Chu Qinghe's internal force, frowned slightly and activated her true energy again.
However, even with Yao Yue's true Qi at this moment, not a single bit of internal energy was drawn out of the wood sculpture.
At this point, Yao Yue was well aware that Chu Qinghe's internal energy had been drained from the wood sculpture.
The kind that doesn't have a drop left.
“Yes!”
However, at this moment, as Chu Qinghe's lazy voice sounded, the next moment, two strange noises sounded in the air almost at the same time.
Sensing the movement, Yao Yue raised her hand slightly, and two wooden sculptures hovered in front of Yao Yue.
"two?"
Looking at the two wooden sculptures in front of her, Yao Yue raised her brows slightly as if puzzled.
However, before Yao Yue's doubts lasted too long, Chu Qinghe's voice reached her ears.
"I have sealed the Feixian Sword Intent seed inside the carved rose. Use your true Qi to draw the sword intent seed into your body and then nourish it through the sword intent contained in the other wood lotus and the sword intent perception inside. With your speed and talent, you should be able to make the seed break its shell and comprehend the Feixian Sword Intent before the sword intent in the wood carving is consumed."
Yao Yue looked at the two wooden sculptures in her hands and said, "I didn't expect that you would help people understand the sword spirit in this way."
Previously, Yao Yue had learned from Chu Qinghe that Chu Qinghe's wood sculpture could help others comprehend the sword intent. At first, Yao Yue thought it was the same as the "Imperial Steps to Immortality", which simply sealed the sword intent inside and allowed them to lead it into the body for comprehension.
But I never thought it would be this way.
In this regard, Chu Qinghe sighed and said: "There is no other way. This thing is rather troublesome. This is the only way that is the safest and most suitable for you."
The sword intent is special. If Yao Yue and Dongfang Bubai are also masters of swordsmanship, Chu Qinghe might be able to cover the two women with the sword intent, thereby increasing the two women's chances of comprehending the sword intent.
But although Dongfang Bubai and Yao Yue both understand swordsmanship, their sword skills are at most at the first level of the mortal sword realm.
It would be quite difficult to comprehend Chu Qinghe's sword intent simply by sensing it.
But now, relying on the special effect brought about by the state of nothingness of self and other in the Grandmaster's state of mind, combined with the wood carving method, he forcibly extracted a part of Chu Qinghe's own sword intent and condensed it into a sword seed, which was planted into the bodies of the two women.
It is similar to the principles of demon seeds and Tao seeds in the "Dao Heart Demon Planting Method" in the Great Yuan Demon Master Palace.
Chu Qinghe called it "seeding."
After taking Chu Qinghe's words into consideration, Yao Yue nodded slightly, and then began to send her true energy into the rose carved in her hand.
Along with the flow of true Qi, Yao Yue instantly felt a special energy entering her body.
And when this energy entered the body, it seemed to have its own consciousness and went all the way down until it entered Yao Yue's middle dantian and took root there.
Afterwards, Yao Yue followed Chu Qinghe's instructions and channeled the sword intent from the other wood carving into her body.
And at the moment when the sword intent entered the body, a special envoy's aura burst out from the sword intent.
Under the influence of the aura of the Flying Immortal Sword in her body, Yao Yue also had a special feeling.
As Yao Yue immersed herself in the perception brought by the sword energy, in addition to her original coldness, she now gained a sense of aloofness, elegance and otherworldliness.
At the same time, while Yao Yue was comprehending the sword intent, wisps of sword intent were slowly flowing through his body and began to penetrate into the sword intent seed in Yao Yue's dantian.
Sensing the aura emanating from Yao Yue's body at this moment, Chu Qinghe smacked his lips.
So, talent is so important.
Although there is a method to sow the seeds of sword intent, if it were someone else, even if the seeds of sword intent were introduced into the body from the wood carving, they would probably go back into the wood carving after going around in the body.
Without a few days, the sword intent seed would find it difficult to take root in the body.
But Yao Yue not only succeeded directly, but also began to gain insights so quickly after the sword intent entered her body.
This is why Chu Qinghe had said before that Yao Yue only needed a few days to activate the sword seed to break out of the shell.
However, before Chu Qinghe could keep his gaze on Yao Yue for long, he felt two other burning gazes.
Chu Qinghe knew what was going on without even thinking about it.
Then he looked at Qu Feiyan and Xiao Zhao and said, "Don't think about it for now. Your cultivation is too low to suppress the sword seed. Wait until you enter the ninth level of the acquired realm before you think about it!"
Although this method of nurturing sword intent seems simple, it is only for people like Yao Yue or Dongfang Bubai.
After all, most of the sharpness of the sword intent seed had been wiped out by Chu Qinghe when it was condensed, but if it was all wiped out, it would have no effect.
Given the current quality and cultivation of Qu Feiyan and Xiao Zhao's internal strength, once the sword intent seed is introduced into their bodies, if the internal strength can no longer suppress it, the sword intent seed will directly riot.
In response to what Chu Qinghe said, Qu Feiyan and Xiao Zhao's eyes lit up. Then they looked at each other and without saying a word, they mobilized their internal energy and began to practice "Ming Yu Gong".
Now, both Qu Feiyan and Xiao Zhao have entered the seventh level of the acquired realm.
They only need to break through one realm again, and then with the wine brewed by the blood bodhi in Chu Qinghe's room, they can directly enter the ninth level of the acquired realm.
Coupled with the medicinal liquor in Chu Qinghe's wine room, the difficulty of breaking through is greatly reduced.
Looking at the three women who were practicing at the moment, Chu Qinghe flipped his palm lightly, gathered the wood flowers and sawdust left over from the carvings in front of him and on the ground into a ball, and threw them directly into a wooden barrel in the corner of the yard. Then he continued to drink and check on the conditions of the women.
…
The beginning of the You hour.
In a house just one street away from Chu Qinghe's yard.
A group of disciples from the Shenshui Palace were coming in and out, quickly tidying up the newly purchased courtyard.
Jellyfish Yin Ji sat quietly in the courtyard, holding a white jade cup with elegant patterns in her hand and humming softly.
Beside him, several disciples of the Shenshui Palace who had been in Yu Shui City before would stand by.
What he described was what happened during the period when he was monitoring Chu Qinghe.
When they heard that Chu Qinghe had offered some fruits and greeted them before leaving, an elder of the Divine Water Palace who was nearly fifty years old behind Shui Ji Yinji frowned and said, "In other words, when Chu Qinghe and the maidservants left together, you did not follow them and monitor them, but let them leave?"
After hearing what the elder said, the Shenshui Palace disciple surnamed Sun and several others around him all knelt on the ground.
However, before the elder of the Divine Water Palace beside him could continue to speak, Shui Ji Yin Ji suddenly said: "It seems that Chu Qinghe has already discovered you. Since he took the initiative to greet you before leaving and told you when he would be back, it's no wonder that you said Chu Qinghe was humble and polite. It's quite interesting."
After she finished speaking, the inner energy of Jellyfish Yin Ji surged in her body, and water droplets in the air quickly gathered together. In the blink of an eye, they were condensed into the size of a fist and instantly flew towards the elder of the Divine Water Palace who had scolded her earlier.
It was clearly just some flowing water, but when it fell on the elder of the Shenshui Palace, it was like a heavy hammer, hammering him directly into the wall beside him, leaving cracks.
At the same time, the cold voice of Jellyfish Yin Ji slowly sounded.
"Besides, I haven't spoken yet. When will it be your turn to speak?"
Hearing what Shuiji Yinji said, the elder of Shenshui Palace who spat out a mouthful of blood on the other side of the wall quickly knelt down and responded: "I know I was wrong, please forgive me, Palace Master."
Seeing this, Jellyfish Yin Ji shouted, "Get lost."
After the voice fell, Shuiji Yinji looked at the kneeling disciples of Shenshui Palace in front of her and said, "Keep talking!"
As she opened her mouth, Jellyfish Yin Ji's expression suddenly changed, and the look in her eyes softened.
