Chapter 169: If you don’t want to be a dog, then be dog meat!
In the center of the crystal clear, colorful and magnificent purple jungle, a pool of clear spring water ripples gently. A girl who seems to be carved out of flawless jade closes her eyes and breathes quietly. This extremely beautiful face that is hard to find in the world and the magnificent and beautiful purple jungle complement each other, like a stunning scene.
Suddenly, an invisible wind flowed through the jungle, crystal clear, and grass leaves emitting purple light moved with the wind, but only for a moment, the wind became stronger, and the purple leaves trembled, almost falling out of the wind.
Phew~
The sound of a sharp wind was heard. It was clearly a jungle with lush branches and leaves, but at this moment, there was a strong wind blowing through it. The source of this unusual wind came from a small spring in the center of the jungle.
"Feng Qing'an!"
The girl in the lake suddenly opened her eyes at this moment, and at this moment, the howling wind in the forest also reached its peak, and the yin energy in the underworld howled from all directions.
But when these Yin Qi pass through the jungle, they will be filtered and condensed. When they reach the girl, only the purest strand of Yin Qi will remain, which will be absorbed and refined by the girl.
Outside Anqing Prefecture, hundreds of miles away, Feng Qing'an, who had already joined the crowd on the official road, narrowed his eyes. At this moment, a cool force flowed down from his eyebrows, which shocked his spirit. His soul became clearer and clearer because of the nourishment of this force, and his soul power also increased as a result.
[Third Soul Contract: Nan Ge]
[Race: Innate Yin Spirit]
[Attributes: Yin, Heaven, Spirit]
[Potential Level: Emperor·Lower]
[Combat Power Level: Commander - Superior]
"If you don't make a sound, you'll be amazing !"
Seeing Nan Ge’s combat power level reach the same level as Black Mountain’s at the moment of breakthrough, Feng Qing’an couldn’t help but secretly praise him in his heart. However, this rating can only be used as a reference, and the upper and lower limits will increase as the levels go up.
If a conflict really comes between Heishan and Nange, if Heishan does not want to die too embarrassingly, the only choice it can make is to run away quickly.
"Feng Qing'an, I made a breakthrough!"
When Feng Qingan's will came into being according to the soul contract, the girl shared her gains with him with joy.
"My Nan Ge is so amazing!"
Feng Qing'an was naturally full of praise at this moment, he also knew that the Nine Refinements Secret Technique was not only about condensing strength, but also a technique of accumulating strength for a breakthrough. At the moment of breaking through the realm, he soared into the sky and became an upper-level existence in this realm.
"hey-hey!"
Hearing Feng Qingan's praise, Nan Ge laughed proudly, and then she said with great joy,
"As long as I make one more breakthrough, I won't have to fear the sunlight anymore. Then I can come to the human world to find you!"
"Okay, I'll wait for you, but you have to work harder!"
"Uh-huh!"
Nan Ge's potential is sufficient, Feng Qing'an does not need to invest too much in her. She only needs to follow all her inheritance, step by step, and proceed step by step, and she will be able to surpass Donghuang before she met Feng Qing'an.
After talking with the girl for a while and listening to her talk about her longing for him, Feng Qing'an withdrew his thoughts and paid attention to the official road he was on. Most of the pedestrians he saw along the way were carrying knives or swords, and few were empty-handed.
"The people of Anqing Prefecture are quite tough!"
Feng Qing'an remembered the farmers he met when he came out of Wuling Mountain. Although they were farming, the farmers who had reclaimed farmland near the mountains and forests were also good at hunting.
"What a great horse, it's a pity that it followed such a dandy man. What a pity!"
A slight murmur was heard. Feng Qing'an turned his head and followed the gaze that fell on him. He saw a merchant caravan that also hired bodyguards for protection. The one who was whispering was a young martial artist who was also riding a black horse.
Although both are dark horses, there is absolutely no comparison between the two. It is like a short dwarf meeting the nine-foot-tall Xu Gong from the north of the city. Even people who don't know horses can tell the good from the bad at a glance.
However, when the young warrior saw Feng Qing'an's gaze, a look of surprise appeared on his face. He obviously didn't expect that his whispering would be heard by someone.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Sir, this guy is traveling with me for the first time. He has no experience and is just an ignorant man from the countryside. Please don't bother with him!"
Noticing Feng Qingan's gaze, the escort leader was startled and quickly bowed his head to apologize to Feng Qingan. At the same time, he sternly rebuked the young martial artist who was somewhat bewildered and somewhat unconvinced.
"What are you still standing there for? Why don't you quickly admit your mistake to this young master!"
"I……"
The young martial artist, who was still feeling dissatisfied, was about to say something, but when he saw the gloomy gaze of the black wolf following the young dandy, a chill rose from his tailbone and he shivered involuntarily. When he came to his senses, he was already sweating profusely .
"I shouldn't have made unwarranted assumptions about you. Please forgive my offense!"
The young man fell off his horse, but he knelt on the ground and admitted his mistake to Feng Qing'an. This seemingly dandy young man was no ordinary person to be able to tame such a black dog.
Maybe he is a powerful person who has reached the level of innate martial arts, and he is not someone that a young escort like him can offend. Even if he kills him with a sword, the escort leader probably won't dare to say anything.
"Youth is full of vigor, I can understand that."
Feng Qingan glared at Heishan, turning him back into a harmless person. Then he smiled kindly and calmed the trembling young martial artist, who was obviously frightened.
"Stand up, there is no need to be so polite, but remember, trouble comes from the mouth, don't criticize others casually!"
"Yes, I will definitely keep in mind the teachings of my predecessors and think twice before acting!"
The young martial artist was about to hit his head on the ground, but before he could do so, he felt a force that he could not resist surging from the ground beneath him, which forced him to stand up.
“Such a strong Qi!”
The young martial artist who was forced to stand up looked at Feng Qing'an with eyes full of awe and a hint of yearning. To be able to sit on the horse's back and inject his true energy into the earth to make him stand up, what a deep and powerful true energy it took. Even a congenital martial artist might not be able to do this.
The young man who practiced martial arts instinctively imagined Feng Qing'an as a senior who was also on the martial arts path, but was at a higher level.
It was just a trivial episode. Feng Qing'an ignored the young man's gaze which had turned into a crazy one. The horse under him seemed to be in tune with his mind and without any instructions, it carried him at a gallop on the official road, leaving the caravan far behind.
He looked too young to begin with. He was riding on Sen Miao, who had tried to look as ordinary as possible. Behind him were two wolves, one black and one white. Wherever he went, he was the focus of everyone's attention. The scene just now was even more eye-catching, attracting the attention of everyone around him.
Feng Qing'an, who just didn't want to attract too much attention, didn't notice that after he rode away, a man rushed out from the crowd who were watching, came to the place where the escort had just knelt, pressed the soil that seemed to have been compacted to the extreme, and excitement appeared in his eyes.
"Were you just forced to stand up by a force from below?"
The bearded man in a simple linen shirt, with a knife on his waist and a conical hat on his head, stared at the young escort who looked extremely excited with sharp eyes. He had just noticed that something was wrong with the escort's body.
"Yes, there was a very strong Qi that forced me to stand up and prevented me from kneeling down!"
Stared at by the man who had been thrown into the crowd and could not be found at all, the young escort answered subconsciously that he regarded the force that forced him to stand up as true energy, because he had only been exposed to martial arts and instinctively used his own cognition to understand everything unknown.
"As expected, this is a master worth fighting!"
The bearded man wearing a conical hat had a look of joy in his eyes. He had just checked the soil and found something wrong. It was as if the compacted soil had its own ideas and burst out with an upward force. But how was this possible?
"Who are you?"
The escort leader rode on horseback, frowning, looking down at the bearded man condescendingly. Because of the precedent, his words and actions at this moment were very restrained. After all, he did not look like a vulgar person.
"My name is Jiang Bei. You may not have heard of this name, but I had an alias ten years ago, Duanlangdao, which was quite famous. You may know it!"
The bearded man cracked his lips and laughed. He looked like an ordinary man, but now he showed a fighting spirit.
"Broken Waves Sword, Jiangbei! Are you a Xiantian Grandmaster?!"
The escort leader was stunned for a moment, then seemed to remember something and screamed.
"What's the point of being a master? You ignorant frogs are the only ones making noises here. I can kill three or five of you with just one slap. You dare to call yourself a master?"
Jiang Bei laughed disdainfully, then spat on the ground. With a flash of his body, he disappeared from the sight of the caravan like the wind, causing some people to show horror in their eyes. What a ghost was seeing in broad daylight.
"What a terrifying Qinggong!"
The escort leader showed a look of horror. He had barely touched the threshold of the innate level, but because of this, he was even more afraid in his heart.
"Boss, a warrior who can kill three or five Xiantians with one slap, what realm is that?"
With just a few words, the frightened young warrior answered cautiously. At this moment, he deeply realized his own insignificance.
"Just practice martial arts honestly, why are you asking so many questions? Wait until you become an innate martial artist first!"
The escort leader glared at him unhappily. Just one sentence had attracted two such terrifying beings. Fortunately, the other party was too lazy to pay attention to them.
"The young man in front, please stay!"
Feng Qing'an, who could already see the city wall of Anqing Prefecture, heard shouts from behind him. He could also feel a fierce aura approaching from behind, but after looking back, he turned a deaf ear to it.
Just take a look at the martial arts barbarian and ignore him, he has nothing to do with you!
A strong wind whistled from behind, without any malice, only a fiery fighting spirit. A high-spirited man wearing a bamboo hat stood in front of Feng Qing'an's horse.
"What's up?"
Feng Qing'an frowned as he looked at the guy in front of him, Heishan glanced at him lazily, Bai Yao looked around curiously, and as for Sen Miao, she was too lazy to even look. If Feng Qing'an hadn't given instructions, she would have stepped over him long ago.
"My name is Duanlangdao Jiangbei. I used the Earthly Evil to refine my body a few days ago and broke through the Xiantian realm. I came to Anqing Prefecture to find an opponent to fight. I was fortunate enough to see you take action just now. I am itching to show my skills. Please teach me!"
Jiang Bei briefly introduced himself, and then couldn't wait to challenge Feng Qingan to a fight. At this moment, he felt that the blood in his body was about to boil.
Because he found that he was just standing in front of Feng Qing'an, every part of his body was trembling, and the instinct of fighting over the years kept urging him to get out of the way and not block the road, otherwise his life would be in danger.
Unfortunately, ever since he had endured the Earthly Demon Body Refining and entered a whole new realm, he has found it difficult to find an opponent. Opponents who were previously almost as strong as him can no longer withstand even a casual slap from him. The feeling of not being able to find an opponent is really too uncomfortable.
But now, whether it was the young man himself, the horse he was riding, or even the two wolves following him, they all gave him an extremely dangerous feeling. This feeling was too addictive to him.
"You have survived the Earthly Demon Body Refining, not bad, that's quite impressive, but if you're itching to show off, you've found the wrong person!"
Feng Qing'an nodded. He knew how much pain a warrior would have to go through if he wanted to break through his innate nature. He would let evil spirits enter his body and decades of practice would be wasted if he was not careful. Even if he succeeded, he would still have to endure the pain of torture.
"Do you know who I am?"
"Who are you, sir? Are you a government official? To be honest, I came to Anqing Prefecture because I want to join the government and serve the court. If so, you and I are officials in the same court. I hope you will give me some advice for the sake of our colleagues!"
Jiang Bei frankly said that only when he reached a higher level did he realize how terrifying the imperial court was.
In the eyes of those third-rate warriors, the martial arts world is unrestrained, free, and not governed by the government. The strongest level is only innate. As for those above the innate, well, the Tiangang and Disha energy required for breakthroughs are almost all in the hands of the government.
Although he had another chance and found the evil spirit, after breaking into this realm, he was at a loss when looking at the road ahead and didn't know how to go on.
Of course, the most important thing is that he also understood that warriors at the Xiantian realm are the limit of what the court can tolerate, and warriors at the Gangsha realm are the existence that the court will never tolerate. Warriors at this realm have only one choice.
The court's lackey!
Warriors who reach this level must serve the court and obey the court's arrangements and orders. They are not allowed to be free and act recklessly.
Warriors who seek opportunities to break through on their own can also choose to resist for the sake of so-called iron will, but those who don't want to be dogs will end up being made into dog meat and served on the table. There is no room for compromise.
"I am a candidate for this year's imperial examination, and I am going to Fengtian City to take the entrance examination now!"
Feng Qingan said in a serious tone.
"Are you a candidate for the imperial examination?"
When Jiang Bei heard Feng Qing'an's words, his eyes suddenly widened, his voice rose eight octaves, and he looked at Qing'an with an expression of incomprehension. He couldn't believe that such a person would actually participate in some crappy college entrance examination. Isn't this a joke?
With his current realm, if he were to join the government, he would at least be a sixth-rank official. Of course, he would have no real power, only offerings, but this was enough. What was really important was to have channels to obtain classics and resources for practicing martial arts.
"good!"
Feng Qingan looked serious, looking down at the warrior in front of him.
"You don't intend to attack a candidate who is planning to take the imperial examination on the official road, do you?"
Jiang Bei's face darkened when he heard this. Even if he was now, he would not commit such a big mistake.
