Chapter 265 – Poor and hungry
"Could it be the work of Left Supervisor?"
In the envoy\'s mansion, Su Yun suppressed his doubts and turned to Xing Jiangmu, saying, "Jiangmu, you are familiar with the geography of Yun Du. Please take my junior brother Ye Luo and these scholars to Jian Ge to handle their enrollment matters."
Xing Jiangmu felt a sense of regret when he saw that Su Yun was no longer plotting against the powerful families in Yun Du.
Su Yun called for Ye Luo and said, "Junior brother, prepare the official documents and money from Yuan Shuo, and bring Master Shui Jing\'s letters. Master Shui Jing has several senior brothers in Jian Ge, all of whom are experts. If anyone gives you trouble, use Master Shui Jing\'s letters to establish a connection and ensure that the scholars are admitted."
Ye Luo agreed and called for many scholars to prepare for their trip to Jian Ge.
Xing Jiangmu hesitated for a moment and said, "Young Master Shao, you are new here and still unfamiliar with certain matters. Let me give you some advice. When we are out and someone knocks on the door, don\'t answer immediately. Listen to see if they are cursing. If they start cursing as soon as they speak, they are here to collect debts. Just keep the door closed and ignore them even if they throw feces or snakes into the courtyard."
Su Yun was surprised.
"If the person who comes doesn\'t curse but kicks open the door of our envoy\'s mansion, it means that the unruly scholars of Da Qin have come to provoke a fight. They will insult you and say that the people of Yuan Shuo are barbarians and beasts."
Xing Jiangmu continued, "If you can bear it, then bear it. Just wait for some time, and the officials of Da Qin will come and drive these people away. If you can\'t bear it and want to fight, just endure for a while longer, and the officials of Da Qin will come and drive them away. They will see you being beaten and give you some money for medicine. Young Master Shao, don\'t spend all the money. Take care of your injuries and save some money for food so that you won\'t go hungry."
Su Yun found it both amusing and pitiful, feeling a mix of sourness and admiration in his heart.
He found Xing Jiangmu\'s words amusing, but they were based on Xing Jiangmu\'s own experiences, so he pitied Xing Jiangmu\'s hardships.
Xing Jiangmu represented the dignity of Yuan Shuo, and insulting him was equivalent to insulting Yuan Shuo. This made Su Yun feel sour.
But even so, Xing Jiangmu remained here without the support of Yuan Shuo, guarding the last bit of dignity for Yuan Shuo. At the age of thirty-two, he appeared old and yet still earned Su Yun\'s admiration.
"Do you really have to return to Yuan Shuo, Jiangmu?"
Su Yun smiled and said, "The court of Yuan Shuo is currently in turmoil, with internal conflicts and infighting. I\'m afraid there is no place for you to display your martial skills. Why not stay here and help me manage the envoy\'s mansion? I am new here and unfamiliar with many things. I need your guidance."
.
Xing Jiangmu hesitated for a moment and said, "Young Master Shao, let me consider it."
In the envoy\'s mansion, only Su Yun and Ying Ying remained. Ying Ying flew up and down, searching for books from Da Qin, while Su Yun organized his recent gains and prepared to break through to the Yuan Ling realm and enter the Yuan Dong realm.
His spiritual power was already strong enough to enter the Yuan Dong realm long ago, but because his understanding of the Dong Tian was still somewhat vague, he had been unable to make a breakthrough.
For him, he was already unmatched in the Yuan Ling realm. Even Emperor Ping was no match for him in the Yuan Ling realm. Perhaps only some geniuses from Da Qin could be compared to him in the Yuan Ling realm. He had no need to continue cultivating in the Yuan Ling realm.
However, the history of Yuan Shuo for five thousand years was most valued for its pursuit of excellence.
Even the ancient sages often focused only on their state of mind and did not pay much attention to details.
Su Yun was not cultivating in the Yuan Ling realm, but rather studying the Yuan Ling realm. He was more like a scholar, researching every aspect of the Yuan Ling realm, striving to thoroughly understand every corner of this realm and leave a benchmark for future scholars.
Recently, he had been studying the Dong Tian and had made significant progress.
In addition to the seventy-two Dong Tian, there was also the method of using the Dong Tian to display the Transformation of Creation technique. For example, when using the Dragon Transformation technique, in addition to visualizing the dragon and being familiar with the technique of creation, one could also induce the dragon\'s aura from the Dong Tian to assist in transforming one\'s body.
By doing so, one could transform their spiritual power into the form of a dragon, thereby transforming their physical body into the true form of a dragon!
Furthermore, Su Yun discovered that different divine abilities could be enhanced by using the Dong Tian. The power could be increased by one or even ten times.
For example, his Yellow Bell divine ability and Immortal Sword divine ability, when the Yellow Bell transformed into the form of the Dong Tian, its power became stronger. Similarly, the Immortal Sword divine ability, after being tempered and enhanced by the Dong Tian, also greatly increased in power.
These were the gains and discoveries he had made in the Yuan Ling realm.
There were very few Ling Shi in Yuan Shuo who made such discoveries, and even if they did, they rarely spread them.
Su Yun had been cultivating for a long time in the Yuan Ling realm without much progress, so he wanted to take this opportunity to break through to the Yuan Dong realm.
To break through to the Yuan Dong realm, he needed to open the Li Yuan in the Dong Tian.
Li Yuan was a heavenly abyss that formed behind the Dong Tian and condensed into a Li Zhu.
In the Tian Xiang realm, the Ling Shi\'s spiritual consciousness becomes a "ghost" after death.
In the Zheng Sheng realm, which is the realm of the quasi-saint, the Ling Shi\'s spiritual consciousness emerges, vaguely resembling the appearance of a saint. The so-called Zheng Sheng means to verify the supreme techniques of the saints. Ling Shi who cultivates to this realm has already delved into the ancient saint\'s supreme techniques to the extreme, verifying, doubting, inheriting, and promoting the supreme techniques of the saints. They may even establish their own sects and become "gods" after death.
In the Yuan Dao realm, which is the realm of the sage, one can trigger calamities brought by the Immortal Sword at any time.
Su Yun\'s eyes brightened as he said, "Foundation Establishment cultivates the body and does not cultivate the Dong Tian. In the Yuan Ling realm, one cultivates the Dong Tian and spiritual power. In the Yuan Dong and Li Yuan realms, one cultivates the Yuan Qi and spiritual power. As for the Tian Xiang, Zheng Sheng, and Yuan Dao realms, they mainly focus on spiritual power. This is strange..."
Su Yun activated the seventy-two Dong Tian, and the seventh Dong Tian overlapped with his own Dong Tian. The violent Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi surged into his Dong Tian, causing thunder and lightning to crackle and rumble in his spiritual world!
"Why is it that after cultivating to the Yuan Ling realm, one no longer cultivates the physical body?"
Su Yun\'s spiritual consciousness wielded his sword, and the thunder and lightning formed by the countless Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi struck his Immortal Sword.
Su Yun was in a trance, manipulating the power of Heaven and Earth, and slashed towards his spiritual world!
"Crack!"
A thunderous sound resounded, and in his spiritual world, a heavenly abyss in the shape of a sword split open!
With the opening of the heavenly abyss, Su Yun\'s spiritual world became turbulent, as if the heavens and earth were being created. His spiritual world expanded and grew rapidly. The Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi from the seventy-two Dong Tian filled this Li Yuan, transforming into true yuan within it.
According to the records in the Tian Dao Academy\'s scriptures, the Li Yuan might be the gate of the Xuan Yin, or it might be a heavenly abyss that connects to the immortal realm. However, no one could give a definite answer as to where this Li Yuan came from. After all, no one had been to the immortal realm, and no one could explore the source of the Li Yuan.
To reach the Yuan Dong realm, one must open the Li Yuan and refine the Yuan Qi into true yuan. To reach the Li Yuan realm, one must refine the spiritual power and true yuan into Li Zhu.
In Su Yun\'s spiritual world, his spiritual consciousness activated the seventy-two major Dong Tian, forming a dilapidated seventh spiritual world.
To open the Li Yuan, one must first calculate its position. For Ling Shi in the Yuan Ling realm, this was undoubtedly a huge project.
But for Su Yun, it wasn\'t so troublesome.
Others couldn\'t determine the exact position of the seventh spiritual world because they cultivated the traditional six major Dong Tian. They had to use the positions of the six major Dong Tian to calculate and make multiple attempts.
The result of each calculation might be far from the Li Yuan in their spiritual world, and after each attempt, they would need to recalculate.
It was possible for someone to calculate thousands of times before finding the exact position of the Li Yuan in their spiritual world. Some people might even spend decades without being able to find the position of the Li Yuan in their spiritual world, and thus be trapped in the Yuan Ling realm for their entire lives.
However, Su Yun had already determined the exact position of the seventh spiritual world. Using the seventy-two Dong Tian as coordinates, he easily calculated the position of the Li Yuan.
"Foundation Establishment cultivates the body and does not cultivate the Dong Tian. In the Yuan Ling realm, one cultivates the Dong Tian and spiritual power. In the Yuan Dong and Li Yuan realms, one cultivates the Yuan Qi and spiritual power. As for the Tian Xiang, Zheng Sheng, and Yuan Dao realms, they mainly focus on spiritual power. This is strange..."
Su Yun\'s spiritual consciousness continued to expand, and the Li Yuan in his spiritual world continued to expand. The sound of the surging Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi in the Li Yuan could be heard, like the mysterious chants of gods and the tempting thoughts of demons.
The various Dong Tian, large and small, floated above the Li Yuan. Su Yun\'s spiritual consciousness stood in the central Dong Tian, and he could hear the divine and demonic voices surging from the Li Yuan. His spiritual consciousness was constantly caught in the battle between heaven and man, gods and demons. It could be said that with a single thought, one could become a god, and with a single thought, one could become a demon.
This was the danger of the Yuan Dong realm.
"However, perhaps I can start by opening a realm for the physical body from the Yuan Ling realm!"
Su Yun\'s eyes lit up. "Yes, I have studied the bodies of Senior Brother Ying Long, Senior Brother Tao Tie, and Senior Brother Xiang Liu, but my current accumulation is not enough, far from enough. To open a realm for the physical body, I need to find more senior brothers..."
Ying Ying found the study in the envoy\'s mansion and eagerly began devouring books, stuffing one volume after another into her mouth, swallowing them and turning them into her own knowledge.
"So many books I\'ve never seen before!"
The little book monster happily devoured the books. Suddenly, she saw the paperweight Suan Ni come to life, looking at her in horror as she devoured the books.
"Suan Ni monster!" Ying Ying was startled.
The Suan Ni paperweight ran away in fear, but Ying Ying flapped her wings and chased after it. Without saying a word, she knocked it down with three punches and two kicks, causing the Suan Ni paperweight to spit out white paper and fall to the ground.
"How could there be such a little monster in the envoy\'s mansion?"
Ying Ying was surprised, but suddenly, she saw the bronze crane with the incense burner blink its eyes, exclaiming in shock. It carried the incense burner in its beak and flew away!
"Beautiful scenery!"
Ying Ying waved her hand, and a scroll unfolded, revealing the beautiful mountains and rivers of Yuan Shuo.
The bronze crane was also a monster. When it flew into the mountains and rivers, it turned into a bronze crane in the painting and couldn\'t fly out.
"Eating people!"
The flower vase in the envoy\'s mansion jumped up, with flowers sticking out of its head. It grew legs from the bottom and ran away, screaming at the top of its lungs, "The poor and hungry book thief is eating people!"
Suddenly, the envoy\'s mansion became lively. Lampstands, screens, cushions, pens, books, pillows, teacups, basins, all jumped up and fled outside the mansion.
Ying Ying shook her hand, and the painting of the beautiful mountains and rivers shuttled through the air like a dragon, capturing one little monster after another and imprisoning them in the painting. She stomped on the flower vase monster and said fiercely, "You wicked and evil thing, do you know what it means to be poor and hungry? If you can\'t explain it, I\'ll eat you!"
The flower vase monster\'s eyes rolled back, and it fainted.
The little monsters ran around in the painting, crying and shouting, "It\'s eating people, it\'s eating people!"
Ying Ying scolded, "Anyone who runs again will be eaten!"
The little monsters stopped in their tracks and knelt down, kowtowing, "Sister, spare our lives!"
These monsters were similar to her. They were all Ling Shi who attached themselves to lifeless vessels after death and turned into monsters.
Ying Ying shouted, "Who are you? Why are you hiding in the envoy\'s mansion?"
"Reporting to sister, we are spies!"
The flower vase monster woke up and the flowers on its head trembled. It trembled as it said, "The Da Qin court arranged for us to be in the envoy\'s mansion to gather intelligence and collect small secrets of the envoys."
"Don\'t eat us!"
The monsters kowtowed repeatedly, crying and shouting, "Da Qin has planted spies in every envoy\'s mansion, not just us!"
"Sister, spare our lives!"
