Volume 1, Chapter 46: Ah, Sweet Relief! I Finally Got Put in My Place!
"Kaioken... That is the signature technique of the North Kai, and I know it too." Regardless of his perverted tendencies, the Old Kai belonged at least to the neutral-good faction and would not refuse to offer some assistance to an evolutionist from the real world, someone like Lin Xi.
If Zhurong were to cut off their right to command fire, they would likely find it difficult to refine good pills anymore, and their status within the Daoist sect would plummet even further.
"Hmph! Trying to escape into Peace Valley? What a pipe dream!" the leader of the Eighteen fiends sneered coldly. He unhooked a large bow from his back, drew an engraved-feather arrow from the quiver, pulled the bowstring to the limit, and loosed it at the figure ahead.
Had she known it would come to this, even if it meant incurring Deep Waters hatred for a lifetime, she would have killed her first.
"What does being insulted have to do with going home with you? If you want to insult me, you can do it right now. Hurry up, hurry up," Princess Tianmeng said with a completely clueless expression.
Huang Yunshi shifted her attention from observing Lu Qinghe to Ye Wen, and started a conversation: "Ye Wen, I heard you're from the countryside just like Qinghe? Do you find it hard to get used to the way we speak around here?" Actually, Huang Yunshi wanted to ask whether they could understand the local dialect at all.
Having seen those eyes that bore an uncanny resemblance to the Xiao family, Qiong'er had long suspected they were relatives. Her earlier probing of Xiao Liang was merely to test the waters, and failing to get a definitive answer, she gently patted the soundly sleeping child on the bed while listening to Yue Ningyan continue her tactful explanation.
Unless there was an imperial decree from the Emperor or a formal mandate from the Empress Dowager, adoption could not be carried out casually.
When playing the zither, one must burn incense in a quiet room, calm the mind so that thoughts do not wander, and harmonize breath and blood. Only then can one unite with the spirits and merge with the Dao.
Twelve symbols of brute strength—including a dragon-elephant, violent ape, terrifying bull, giant lion, black tiger, and savage bird—manifested around Lu Rui's body. These beastly phantoms merged into his body, transforming into peerless, overwhelming might.
As the airport was a public place, celebrities could not linger. In the event of being recognized and lacking security personnel to maintain order, chaos would ensue.
"Grandfather, don't say that. You will definitely live to be a hundred," Song Qingya said, her eyes brimming with tears.
His cultivation of the Spirit Rain Technique and Spirit Nourishing Technique in this lifetime had already reached the two-year mark. These two spells had faintly touched the threshold of approaching the Dao, and his failure to break through earlier was primarily due to insufficient cultivation level.
He first had Yuewan Zhou and the others help harvest the gamboge, and then began refining the Yellow Bud Pills. After several days of toil, he finally succeeded in producing this batch of Yellow Bud Pills.
Ji Qiuchang patted her chest, deeply feeling that she had wronged Luo Shizhou, but Fu Shiyan had warned her that once this kind of behavior started, it would set a bad precedent, and she could not act as an accomplice to evil.
After all, the tribe before them was far too unusual; heaven only knew how they managed to hunt so many walruses.
"Holy crap!" Zhang Ruojun exclaimed involuntarily, staring at Liu Shishi and Yang Mi lying side by side on the table.
Jingtian was not a classically trained actress relying purely on technical skill; the reason she brought Si Teng to life so vividly was simply because she possessed the very essence of Si Teng.
"I didn't mean anything by it, I was just curious and asked casually," Uncle Fu looked at Su Qingya with a face full of respect.
"Deputy Commander, we have arrived at Ji County!" a tall and robust man by his side said softly.
Yang Zhenyu said, "Xinnong University is going to build a branch campus here. I received word from above, and it's already finalized. However, it's still unclear exactly when construction will begin, and the future development of Yangjiawan Village will be limitless."
Meeting Chu Qingyi's gaze, her face turned completely red. She hurriedly waved her hands and stammered incoherently in explanation.
Sighing, he first flicked his sleeve, teleporting millions of living beings in Langya City to safety, and then, alongside Elder Jiang, drifted out gracefully, soaring straight up to the nine heavens.
True to expectation, a month later, the first snow fell, everything returned to stillness, and an imperial decree descended from the Sovereign of Heaven.
She had suffered nightmares all night and had yet to fully clear her head. Her steps were unsteady, and her dark circles were alarmingly large. Met head-on by the wall of sound, she rubbed her eyes and looked toward where they were.
"It doesn't matter. The organization has been established for so many years, and she isn't the only one who has leaked secrets. The gods of the Netherworld will consume her."
Daoist Guyuan said, "Since Master Rujian is not here, we must find another way to deal with my disciple's injuries. Sorry to have troubled the Abbot!" With that, he rose to take his leave.
Furthermore, everyone deeply understood one principle: treating others with kindness is always rewarded with good outcomes.
Yet whether it was the cassock or the monk's staff, both clearly looked as though they had been specially prepared for Tang Sanzang; they were useless to him.
"It really is so pretty, let's go take a look," Lu Ting regained her composure at that moment and instantly immersed herself in the sight.
Although the Qin State originated from raising horses for the Zhou royal family, during the fall of the Western Zhou, Duke Xiang of Qin rendered meritorious service in protecting the Zhou royal family, which led to the Qin State being elevated to the rank of a vassal state.
Though Blood Linglong had concealed a portion of her strength a few days prior, Murong Junli had also been holding back at the time. At this moment, although Murong Junli was still masking her true power, this single sword strike embodied nine-tenths of her full force, yet it failed to inflict even the slightest scratch upon Blood Linglong.
"Hmph, you claim to be well-informed, but I saw through it long ago," Taishi Yun retorted with displeasure.
He introduced the others one by one. Although their primary occupations were unknown, anyone who could stand by Wang Xiangyang's side was certainly no ordinary individual.
"I am not throwing a tantrum. Wait, what did you just say? You agreed to let me move back?" Ji Liunian looked at Sheng Shi in pleasant surprise, a brilliant smile blooming across her face.
"A myriad of charms... You really use idioms quite smoothly." Having said that, he flicked the tip of her nose.
Now she was able to shed tears just like a normal person. Whether it was because she had never wept before, or because she was moved by Xiaotian and the others staying by her side, she would invariably find her eyes turning red over a single word or a trivial matter.
