You Zha Xian Yu

Chapter 59 Senior Brother, I'm coming in

Tian Fengyu looked like a curious baby, feigning ignorance about such a significant matter and asking for details. Ji Xiang chuckled.

"Such matters are rare, hence the strict investigation. I'll just say, those who know, know. If senior brother doesn't understand, junior brother can't explain further. And don't ask me what's going on. The implications are too great, and it would benefit neither of us. The Huangtian Cult's waters are deep, and it's very difficult for you to find out the details yourself. Relevant personnel have all been eliminated.

'Senior brother, you just need to understand. The evil god has been captured and killed by the Heavenly Officials. Therefore, if there are any remnants of the Huangtian Cult, senior brother must keep a sharp eye out and not be deceived by these wicked individuals!'

'As a Dao official, you cannot oppose the Embroidered Uniform Guard, nor can you oppose the Emperor!'

Tian Fengyu appeared panicked, "How would this subordinate dare! There are indeed no Huangtian Cult followers in this temple!"

Tian Fengyu solemnly assured Ji Xiang that although he was a Da Hong Pao, he was merely a minor official of the ninth rank. The thought of harboring Huangtian Cult followers, a grave offense, was something he dared not even contemplate, let alone commit!

Showing off also requires strength!

The Judicial Masters in green robes were more powerful than his red robe!

Seeing the subservient expression on the man before him, Ji Xiang felt a pang of pity.

If the divine tablet had not presented the option "Can Kill," Ji Xiang might have offered some comforting words. But now, it was too late. The divine tablet said "Can Kill." Although you haven't attacked me, in my eyes, for some reason, your health bar has lit up.

Ji Xiang responded perfunctorily, "Senior brother, there's no need to panic. The Embroidered Uniform Guard is investigating. If no issues are found, there's naturally no need to worry. As I said, during these days, senior brother must keep a sharp eye out and monitor the incoming and outgoing pilgrims."

"Senior brother, if you are in the capital in the future and need anything, I will help if I can, but it must not violate the laws or morals of the Great Ming. And senior brother must also diligently advance your cultivation."

Ji Xiang said this verbally, but in reality, he was about to leave the capital. Moreover, Old Zhang was coming. Even if Tian Fengyu had no issues himself, it wouldn't be his place to help.

Tian Fengyu nodded with a fawning smile, "Then this junior brother thanks senior brother in advance."

Ji Xiang's gaze swept over Tian Fengyu, "I see senior brother is in the fourth realm, Fetal Breath, but have you condensed the Lead Flower yet?"

Tian Fengyu quickly replied, "Not yet! This junior brother's aptitude is not good. Although I have entered Fetal Breath, I am still a bit short of condensing the full body's radiance. The circulation of qi within my body is always not smooth."

"I know, perhaps this is due to my unstable foundation in the previous three realms, coupled with my insufficient natural talent. When I guided the fire back then, it was merely a small flame. The fire couldn't cover my entire body, and it took a year of intermittent burning to complete the fire guiding..."

"Only recently have I made some progress..."

Tian Fengyu maintained a joyful expression, as if he were genuinely happy about making further progress.

Ji Xiang continued,

"Senior brother, the situation of condensing radiance depends on the individual's speed of inhaling and exhaling vital energy during cultivation, as well as the changes when qi is locked within the body."

"For your situation, it's not difficult. How about I perform the 'Qi Transfer Technique' and transfer my vital energy to you?"

"Your own physical aptitude is too low. When inhaling external vital energy, it's like a small sluice gate unable to handle a great flood; the flow rate is too low. Senior brother said you've made some progress recently, which means that although condensing radiance is slow, you've finally achieved something through accumulation. At this point, you must emphasize locking qi and not let any of your own aura leak out."

Ji Xiang said, "I will use my vital energy to help senior brother condense radiance. This is qi transfer. The sluice gate's opening is only so wide, and the flow rate is only so much. But qi transfer is like standing above the sluice gate and diverting another stream of water, which doesn't need to pass through the sluice gate, but is directly infused."

"May I ask if senior brother would allow me to transfer qi to help you?"

Ji Xiang spoke of transferring qi, but in reality, once the other party accepted his vital energy, Ji Xiang would know if there were any issues within their body, and he might also understand why the divine tablet was obscured.

Ji Xiang thought of things like A Lian. They replaced the seven souls of the human body. When they were not active, they showed no abnormalities, and the national prestige was useless. If the demons under the Fire Lord could gain this ability after the Wanli Emperor's enfeoffment ceremony, then the Dongyue Temple, which had a higher enfeoffment specification than the Fire God Temple...

Could there be spirits that could perform the art of "possession"!

Ji Xiang thought to himself, if the other party had something to hide, they would likely refuse. If they had nothing to hide, their first words would be something like, "How could I possibly accept this..." This is a standard polite refusal.

Tian Fengyu, at this moment, indeed smiled slightly and refused Ji Xiang,

"Junior brother, this method is not suitable. Senior brother must consider you. Transferring qi will deplete your vital energy..."

Ji Xiang smiled generously,

"It's fine, my vital energy is quite abundant."

After speaking, Ji Xiang didn't give him a chance to retort and immediately reached out to grab his wrist, then circulated his magic power, transferring vital energy into the other's body!

Senior brother, I'm coming in!

Tian Fengyu's gaze shifted violently downwards. His body stiffened slightly, and he suddenly pulled his hand away. Ji Xiang's palm missed, which greatly shocked Ji Xiang!

His strength, even in the third realm, could contend with Song Wuji. With both hands, he could pin Zao Wang Qian Guang to the ground. This senior brother in the fourth realm, who hadn't even condensed radiance, could break free from his grasp!

Ji Xiang smiled slightly, "Senior brother, that sudden pull just now, your strength is surprisingly great?"

"This is not a characteristic that someone with poor aptitude would exhibit. Only those with excellent aptitude and abundant vital energy possess such great strength."

For a moment, the two looked at each other, and the strange situation also caused Emperor Wanli and the others to crane their necks.

However, they did not immediately come to intervene, merely observing from the corner of their eyes. The scene fell into a brief silence.

Tian Fengyu put on a panicked expression,

"Transferring qi after reaching the fourth realm will deplete a certain amount of the qi, spirit, and essence foundation of the person transferring it. You must know that the foundation of these early cultivation realms must be firmly laid to have a bright future later on."

"Senior brother is already a useless person with no future prospects, while junior brother has a bright future! You absolutely should not labor so hard for senior brother. Therefore, senior brother absolutely cannot accept this qi transfer."

Ji Xiang spoke forcefully,

"Then what if today, junior brother insists on helping senior brother this once?"

As these words were spoken, the gazes of the surrounding Embroidered Uniform Guards also converged instantly. At this moment, if Tian Fengyu said one wrong word, these heavenly soldiers would immediately draw their swords and ask him to surrender.

Tian Fengyu, with his back to the threshold, seemed to blend into the remaining darkness. His eyes were fixed only on Ji Xiang. His expression was strange at first, with no expression on his lips, even a hint of displeasure. But soon, as if thinking of something, the corners of his mouth turned up into a smile.

"Junior brother's 'physical body' is so robust... Senior brother exerted great effort to pull my hand away just now."

Several morning bells rang, and the sky gradually brightened.

"So that's how it is. Junior brother isn't actually trying to transfer qi to help senior brother, but you still suspect me."

Tian Fengyu put on a helpless expression. This time, he extended his hand to Ji Xiang and said, "If junior brother really doesn't trust senior brother, you could have just said so directly. Why the roundabout way?"

"I have never had any connection with Huangtian Cult followers. If you are not at ease, you can circulate your magic qi and search my entire body."

"By the way, junior brother, what is your name?"

Ji Xiang also revealed a smile, stepped forward, and clasped the other's wrist, this time holding on tightly:

"Three cycles of reincarnation, coming and going, the people must have a master. Can your name be known?"

Tian Fengyu's expression immediately froze. Looking at Ji Xiang again, he realized how detestable he was!
