Mortal Mage

Full view of Taihe Palace (reconstruction of the sleeping palace)

In the bedroom.

"Hao Fen, go to Cuiyun Continent and send a message to Yu Yun, asking her to come to Canglang and marry Zhang Mingxuan with us."

Shi Manman looked at the white fox in Hua Yu's arms.

The white fox looked at Zhang Mingxuan.

"It's better not to do that."

Zhang Mingxuan spoke out to stop them. If Xiyun returned to Canglang, Shi Manman would never let her go back to Cuiyun, which would undoubtedly cause chaos in his harem.

Moreover, Hao Yun is a demon, and will be hunted down if he goes to Cuiyun. Cuiyun's teleportation array is in the secret room of the Western Dynasty Palace. If Xi Yun wants to return to Canglang from Cuiyun, he needs to cross the South China Sea and the interface wind belt. Xi Yun has not yet established his foundation, so he cannot fly the sword at all.

"I think you are a heartless man whose love is as thin as paper and whose loyalty is lighter than clouds. Once the wind blows, you will disappear without a trace."

Qingling sneered at Zhang Mingxuan with a sleepy look, showing no mercy at all.

"I'm not a heartless person, I'm just worried that Yun might be in danger along the way."

Zhang Mingxuan responded with gritted teeth, and at the same time, he took out Shi Manman's storage bag from his chest and threw it to the fox demon; "Hao Fen, there is a fire-proof umbrella, a spiritual gourd, a pass token to the Western Dynasty, and many spiritual stones and treasures. I will leave another breath for you, and you can ride my flying beast to pick up Yunyun."

"Well, I'll do it right away."

The white fox responded to Zhang Mingxuan through voice transmission, hid the storage bag in its snow-white ears, and jumped from Hua Yu's arms into the teleportation array. The teleportation array was activated immediately, and she disappeared in the array.

Manman had already set up the teleportation array to Cuiyun.

After Haofen left, Shi Manman took a serious look at Qingling Yuanying.

Qing Ling's entire body was wrapped in white mist and true energy. She sat cross-legged quietly on the lotus plate, rolling her eyes as she looked at Shi Manman.

"I didn't expect that a Yuanying elder of the Sword Sect would be controlled by a junior."

Shi Manman walked towards the door, graceful as a fairy. Qing Ling knew she was going out, so she quickly moved away from the door to make way.

Qing Ling curled her lips and thought to herself that you, a Jindan stage cultivator, were also being controlled, you can't get much better than me.

But now she didn't want to provoke Shi Manman.

After getting married and resolving his worries, he would be able to sit in meditation and give Zhang Mingxuan the coordinates of the fairyland. Then he would go into seclusion for a thousand or hundreds of years, and he didn't believe that he would not be able to outlast Zhang Mingxuan.

Because in her opinion, the possibility of Zhang Mingxuan finding the immortal-grade foundation-building pill is almost zero.

"I heard that you can use the seventh sword technique. We are sisters from now on, so why not teach me?"

Shi Manman stepped out of the bedroom, sneered at Qing Ling, and at the same time waved her hands at Zhang Mingxuan, signaling Zhang Mingxuan to follow her.

"In your dreams."

"Give me back the lotus plate, and let's see how long your Nascent Soul can last in this continent."

Shi Manman led the way in front, and Zhang Mingxuan followed without knowing why. Hua Yu looked very happy.

"Dust Wind Sword Technique is the unique sword technique of the Sword Sect. How can it be passed on to others?"

Qing Ling refused verbally, but followed Zhang Mingxuan, wanting to rely on him.

It is impossible to return the lotus plate. Without it, the true Qi of her Nascent Soul will keep leaking out. In this continent without spiritual energy, her cultivation will continue to decline.

"My unique sword technique is like a joke here."

"Sister, you are so arrogant."

"You'll know whether it's a big tone or not later."

"Where are we going?"

Zhang Mingxuan interrupted the mutual contempt between the two and asked timidly.

"Qionghua Library."

Shi Manman stopped, turned back, and looked at Zhang Mingxuan with a bit of anger in her tone; "Do you know who you are?"

"Forehead……"

Zhang Mingxuan raised his eyebrows slightly and remained silent.

Of course he knew who he was. He was the emperor of Taicang. But now, he didn't have the courage to face these three old monsters.

"You are the emperor of Taicang. If you are seen by officials from other courts acting like a coward, how can you still maintain your dignity?"

"Oh, oh, oh, you crazy woman. You have such a stern face that even an old Yuanying monster like me is scared to death by you. He is a kid who hasn't even built a foundation. How can you expect him to be so majestic in front of you?"

Qing Ling interrupted bluntly. Although she was also afraid of Shi Manman, she could see that Shi Manman was just like that because of her personality and was not a vicious person.

Shi Manman originally wanted to argue, but her body trembled and she reacted.

Zhang Mingxuan is the real boss.

"Your Majesty, please go first."

She forced a smile on her cold face, and moved aside to make way for Hua Yu.

"No, you go first."

Zhang Mingxuan didn't want to die, but this woman was so ruthless that she dared to practice dual cultivation in public.

"Your Majesty, please go first."

Although Shi Manman was behind Zhang Mingxuan and said "please", it sounded like an order to Zhang Mingxuan.

Zhang Mingxuan took a step forward timidly.

The three girls remained silent.

"Why go to Qionghuaku?"

The Qionghua Treasury was where the royal treasures were kept in the palace, all of which were rare and precious treasures. However, after Zhang Mingxuan ascended the throne, he sold all the contents of the Qionghua Treasury for gold and silver to pay salaries.

"You will know when you go there, Your Majesty."

-

There were only two walls and one road separating the Taihe Palace from the inner court's Qionghua Treasury.

But today, there was not a single palace maid or eunuch in the harem.

In theory, there would at least be eunuchs waiting for orders and eunuchs doing daily cleaning and maintenance.

He thought about it, and then understood.

There is a Jindan-stage cultivator, a middle-stage foundation-building cultivator, and a seventh-level fox demon in the harem. They don't need to eat, and they rely on magic to sweep the dust, and they rely on telepathy to announce orders and call people. There is really no need for a bunch of servants.

Immortals are better. If the palace were full of monks, a lot of money could be saved on the three public expenses every year.

While they were guessing and thinking, the four of them had already arrived at the entrance of Qionghua Storehouse.

The door of the warehouse was pushed open.

The sunlight shone through the high windows on the warehouse, forming a beam of light. Dust danced in the beam, and the air was mixed with a scent that had become thick with the passage of time.

An ancient breath blew over me.

The ten orchids on both sides of the warehouse were hung with flying swords of various colors. On the shelves, there were all kinds of strange objects, and jade slips of various colors were stacked in piles.

There was no place to step in the house.

Dazzling.

The chill emanating from the flying sword made Zhang Mingxuan shiver. Although the treasure did not have any spiritual aura, it still made his heart beat wildly.

"Where did these things come from?"

Zhang Mingxuan walked into the house, picked up a flying sword, cut through the air, and asked.

"They were collected from the public. They are all weapons above the level of spiritual swords. Some may even be at the level of immortal swords."

Shi Manman walked into the house at the same time.

"What! Spiritual Sword?"

Qing Ling almost shouted out as he quickly moved himself to control the flying sword in front of him. The flying sword sensed that Qing Ling's spiritual power was about to touch it, and it vibrated "buzzingly" with a strong sense of rejection.

"Don't move rashly. These flying swords all have owners. Your Majesty has not yet established his foundation and is a mortal. You can touch them at will. If you, an old monster in the Nascent Soul stage, forcefully control them, be careful that they will attack you back."

"What about these magic weapons?"

"All the immortals and above have recognized their masters, and the spiritual ones also generally have restrictions. Those without restrictions have been taken away by me."

"Where is the jade slip?"

"The jade slips all have aura imprints. The aura that is not recognized by the jade slip cannot be opened at all. I have tried many methods. This should be something from an ancient immortal sect. The jade slip identifies the aura of the disciples of its own sect."

"I'll try."

Qing Ling flew to the bookshelf, and a jade slip flew out from the bookshelf and stood in front of her. She murmured for a while, and injected a trace of true energy into the jade slip. After a long time, the jade slip showed no reaction. She sighed softly, and reluctantly flew the jade slip back to the bookshelf, saying disappointedly, "It does require the recognition of the breath. If we can find the descendants of this sect, maybe it can be done."

Zhang Mingxuan's heart moved.

Maybe I can do it. After all, I am the chosen one, a traveler from Blue Star.

Thinking of his special identity, he couldn't hide his joy. He took out a jade slip and held it in his hand, trying to probe it with his spiritual sense.

The spiritual consciousness enters the jade slip.

Inside the jade slip, a word “仙” (immortal) written in a flamboyant style appeared, sparkling.

Surrounding the word "Xian" are some runes of various shapes.

Zhang Mingxuan placed his spiritual consciousness on the word "仙", and the word split into two, becoming the words "人" and "山". At the same time, Zhang Mingxuan felt a trace of his own breath entering the jade slip.

Inside the jade slip, the aura passed through the two characters "人山" (people and mountains) and entered the interior. After the two characters changed strangely, they slowly closed and turned back into the character "仙" (immortal), and there was no more reaction.

Zhang Mingxuan was unwilling to give in, so he probed with his spiritual sense again. He repeated this many times, but the same thing happened again.

The jade slip did not recognize his aura.

"The flying sword and these treasures have recognized their masters, and the jade slip cannot be opened to see the contents inside, so these things are of little use."

Qing Ling tried several more jade slips, but finally gave up.
