Volume 1 Linglong Case Chapter 17 News
"Can you tell me some details about the theft of Linglong Yudan?" Tan Lian asked.
"Okay, what do you want to know?" Lin Qianxing asked.
"All the information from the time you got involved in the theft to the end of it." Tan Lian said.
Lin Qianxing nodded and said slowly: "No problem, I remember I got the news from the shopkeeper of Jinyu Pavilion in late June. He said that someone offered a large sum of money to ask me to do something..."
After a while, Lin Qianxing explained the whole story clearly, and Tan Lian fell into deep thought.
"Don't you think your trip was too smooth? The imperial palace is heavily guarded. How could it be possible for you to get the exquisite jade gall and escape so easily?" asked Tan Lian.
"I said, I got the topographic map of the entrance and exit of the imperial palace treasure house from the shopkeeper of Jinyu Pavilion, and it seemed that something happened in the palace that night, so most of the guards left." Lin Qianxing said.
"What exactly happened in the palace on the fifth day of July?" Tan Lian asked with a puzzled look on his face.
"You ask me? How would I know? I just took the things and went to trade that day." Lin Qianxing replied.
"I think we need to go back to Kyoto and investigate this case," Tan Lian suggested.
"You want me to go back and walk into a trap?" Lin Qianxing sneered, "You don't think I'm stupid, do you?"
"Are you willing to take the blame for others and be a wanted criminal for the rest of your life?" asked Tan Lian.
"Then I won't go to Kyoto to die." Lin Qianxing said.
"This matter involves such a big issue that we have to take some risks," said Tan Lian.
"If you want to take the risk, you go ahead and take it. I won't accompany you." Lin Qianxing refused directly.
He has a golden finger, so the worst that can happen is that he can just stay hidden. When he is strong enough , he can just push forward smoothly. Why take such a meaningless risk?
"If you can help me find Linglong Yudan, it will be a great contribution. It will not be difficult to make up for your mistake. In the future you won't have to worry about being arrested by the Anti-Evil Bureau. You may even join us." Tan Lian said.
“No!”
"If you don't consider yourself, you should at least consider your children in the future , right? Do you want them to be the offspring of wanted criminals?"
“No!”
"I need your help. It's difficult for me to investigate the case by myself. You have the ability to fly, so it will be easy for you to collect evidence."
“No!”
…
No matter how hard Tan Lian tried, he failed to convince Lin Qianxing.
He cursed in his heart, a thief is a thief, after all, he is just a rat in the gutter and cannot be seen in public.
Helplessly, he could only say: "Then I will return to Kyoto alone to investigate, but if I have any news, how can I contact you?"
"Go ahead!" Lin Qianxing asked.
"If you are not afraid, you can use the communication token of the Anti-Evil Bureau to communicate with me. After I get the key information, I will convey it directly to you through the communication token." Tan Lian took out a metal plate from his arms and said.
The metal plate was covered with strange symbols. Lin Qianxing felt that there seemed to be some pattern, but also there seemed to be no pattern. In the center of the plate was inlaid a piece of emerald green gem.
"What is a communication token? How do I use it?" Lin Qianxing asked.
"This is a talisman made by the Si Tianjian, one yin and one yang. There are special runes engraved on this black iron plate. After being activated with a spirit jade infused with spiritual energy, they can be used to communicate with each other, with the maximum distance reaching three thousand miles. It is the same as the missing person ruler you took from me before." Tan Lian explained.
Lin Qianxing recalled in his mind and thought that the missing person ruler was indeed made in the same way, with a bunch of strange runes and a piece of green jade inlaid.
"Sure." Lin Qianxing replied.
Hearing this, Tan Lian carefully placed a communication talisman on the ground beside him and said, "After I leave, you can take it yourself. Also, don't normally activate the communication talisman. There is not much spiritual energy left in the spiritual jade, and it can only be used a few times."
"There are so many good things in the Imperial Observatory." Lin Qianxing couldn't help but sigh.
"Yeah, it's a pity that I don't have the talent for practicing Qi. Otherwise, even if I had just learned a little bit, I wouldn't have been thrown out by my superiors to do such a crappy thing." Tan Lian said helplessly.
"Oh? Is it rare to have talent in Qi training?" Lin Qianxing asked calmly.
"Rare?" Tan Lian shook his head and said, "More than rare, there are 500 million people in the entire Dayu Kingdom, and the Sitianjian only has 184 Qigong practitioners, and many of them are old. Maybe in a few hundred years, there will be no Qigong practitioners in the world."
Lin Qianxing raised his eyebrows. He really didn't expect that there were so few people with the aptitude to practice Qi.
It's so unique that it's hard to describe.
Afterwards, Lin Qianxing talked with Tan Lian for a while, and only let him leave after he learned some common sense information indirectly.
As he turned around, Tan Lian's expression became serious.
The reason why he was willing to talk with Lin Qianxing for so long was that he wanted to see how long Lin Qianxing's light martial arts of Lingkong Wubu could last.
Then he discovered that Lin Qianxing had been staying in the air without showing any signs of effort.
Martial arts are the skills to mobilize and use the power of Qi, blood, spirit and soul.
Lin Qianxing was able to stay in the air for such a long time, which was absolutely impossible with his cultivation level that had not even reached the blood exchange stage.
Is that because the soul is powerful?
That's impossible. If his soul is so powerful, there is no reason why it would be so difficult to kill Feng Jie.
It is obvious that this is another unknown treasure.
At this moment, Tan Lian couldn't help but feel a little envious of Lin Qianxing.
There is the Qiankun Bag, there are so many flying knives made of materials more precious than black iron, and there are also treasures like this that can allow him to fly.
Could it be that he has inherited the legacy of some powerful being?
Thinking about it this way, Tan Lian felt that it was really possible.
He secretly made up his mind that his attitude towards Banzhiyi would still be to make friends with him. Who knows what life-saving cards he had.
If I accidentally provoke him, my small body probably won’t be able to handle it.
The other side.
After Lin Qianxing tested the communication talisman with his flying knife, he jumped to its side and also wrapped his hands with cloth to collect it.
Ever since he was almost caught by Feng Jie and then poisoned, Lin Qianxing has become extremely alert. He tries to be on guard as much as possible and not to reveal his flaws easily.
…
Time passed, and soon more than half a month had passed.
Lin Qianxing was practicing at this time.
He stood on a mountain top, waving his fists. The tendons in his body made popping sounds from time to time, and every punch he threw brought up a gust of wind.
Suddenly, he punched a huge rock beside him that was almost as tall as him.
Boom~Crack!Crack!
A loud bang was heard, and gravel flew everywhere. A huge dent appeared at the place where Lin Qianxing had bombarded, and spider-web-like cracks surrounded it.
Lin Qianxing paused and murmured, "Have I mastered the Mountain Shaking Fist?"
After more than half a month, Lin Qianxing has already mastered the Yi Jin technique. Now, he can burst out a force of ten thousand pounds with one arm. With his Mountain-Shaking Fist, a single punch can make a hole that goes all the way through a tree that can be hugged by one person. If combined with his internal force, he can burst out a force of up to eighteen thousand pounds with a single arm. The power of his punch is terrifying.
However, Lin Qianxing is not very interested in close combat, his strongest weapon is still the flying knife.
The flying knife was infused with his internal force. If he threw it with all his strength, the huge rock in front of him would be pierced through instantly.
Compared to hitting someone with fists, throwing knives is more lethal.
What Lin Qianxing is thinking about now is the bone-strengthening training after Yi Jin.
To cultivate to this level, one needs to swallow a large amount of bone powder and metal powder.
According to the information Lin Qianxing obtained from the book, the better the quality of the bone powder and metal powder swallowed, the faster the cultivation speed will be.
Lin Qianxing barely understood bone powder, but what the hell was swallowing metal powder?
Are you sure you can digest it?
Without a master to teach him, Lin Qianxing doesn't dare to act rashly, for fear that something bad might happen to him.
He decided to go back to a certain city and find a martial arts school to ask around, because this thing really cannot be practiced randomly.
Just as Lin Qianxing was thinking about something, he suddenly felt a vibration in his arms.
He took out a cloth package from his arms, opened it, and revealed the communication token inside.
At this time, the spiritual jade in the center is emitting green light.
Lin Qianxing learned the usage from Tan Lian, and now he also knew that it was Tan Lian who sent the message.
He pressed a finger on a mechanism next to the token through the cloth.
Immediately, the token vibrated, the runes on it lit up, and Tan Lian's voice slowly came out.
"I have investigated some things in Kyoto and now I need your help." Tan Lian said.
"What help?" Lin Qianxing asked.
"Go get the exquisite jade gallbladder." Tan Lian said.
"You found out its location so quickly?" Lin Qianxing asked in surprise.
Lin Qianxing thought that Tan Lian’s ability might be okay, but he really didn’t expect him to be so powerful.
"Although I'm not completely sure, I'm about 80% sure about it." Tan Lian said.
"You didn't trick me into returning to Kyoto to fall into your trap, did you? You didn't catch me and just went back to Kyoto. Didn't you get punished?" Lin Qianxing asked.
"Although the Anti-Evil Bureau has the ability to identify lies, the truth can still deceive people. I said that Feng Jie was killed by a passing thug and I was seriously injured and unable to pursue him. So the matter was temporarily dropped and put on hold. I will arrest him after my injuries recover." Tan Lian said.
Although Tan Lian said it lightly, Lin Qianxing guessed that the process of concealing it must not have been easy.
However, this made him admire Tan Lian's wit.
"Who do you think has the exquisite jade gall?" Lin Qianxing asked again.
"The deputy commander of the Anti-Evil Division, Tian Shouping!!" Tan Lian said affirmatively.
"Is it someone from your organization?" Lin Qianxing sneered, "Isn't this the thief crying thief?"
Tan Lian was silent for a moment, then said, "Can you help me? If not, I'll find a way myself."
"Why do you think I can help you?" Lin Qianxing asked.
"You are a thief, and you are a professional at stealing." Tan Lian replied calmly.
Lin Qianxing was speechless, and then he asked: "What happened on the fifth day of July?"
"Things are complicated. The spiritual energy of the communication token is limited. If you decide to return to Kyoto to help me, we can talk about it in detail after we meet." Tan Lian said.
"Tell me a location!" Lin Qianxing said.
"The land temple is twenty miles outside the east gate of Wuding City. You can message me when you arrive." Tan Lian said.
