Seeking the Tao in the Mortal World

Chapter 70: Prolong Life or Longevity

“Princess Royal… Your Majesty… Alas!”

Li Qingjun looked at the empty throne with a livid expression.

It was the morning court. All the ministers gathered in the royal court, but Li Qinglin did not come.

He had been like this for more than 1 day.

Earlier, he said that he was low on energy and drowsy, so Li Qingjun had to be considerate and handle the kingdom affairs in the name of Princess Royal. She… even gave him the code left by Qin Yi.

She knew that Li Qinglin had ordered people to go to the Dong Huazi’s underground palace to find the cultivation method. Although he had not practiced it, it would be a matter of time. It’s better to let him practice Qin Yi. No matter how successful he was, it would at least make him feel better and handle the kingdom state affairs at ease.

She believed that Li Qinglin had such self-control.

It turned out that she was too naive.

Li Qinglin may have “little energy”, but he is not so “drowsy” that he can’t attend court. He is an Innate Stage warrior, how would he end up in such a state?

Deceiver!

“That’s it for today.” Li Qingjun suppressed the irritation in her heart and said to the ministers, “Everyone should work on the matters we just discussed. Time is running out. I’m going to see Royal Brother.”

“Thank you, Princess.”

The ministers retreated from the palace. Li Qingjun suddenly turned around, grabbed the eunuch who opened the door, and said, “Bring me to Royal Brother!”

The eunuch swallowed. His heartbeat almost stopped.

In the past, Li Qingjun was very hot-tempered and would often grab people by the collar and ask questions like this, but at that time, they only thought that the young lady had a bad temper and was quite cute. But now, with a glare of her eyes, she actually exuded an awe-inspiring feeling like the Li Qinglin who once owned the battlefield.

Qin Yi couldn’t tell the time in the Rift Valley. From the perspective of the South Li Kingdom people, it had only been about half a month since Qin Yi left.

Li Qingjun, who had been involved in politics for half a month, had completely changed her temperament.

She had already beheaded the generals who were greedy for military pay. A row of heads was hung in front of the Meridian Gate, which was shocking. She used to be a chivalrous person who roamed the world, killing evil people and beastkins. She seemed to have killed more than now. Moreover, she did it with her own hands previously. Now she was just giving an order… But the nature was different… The eunuch didn’t know how to describe it. It was really different anyway.

“Prin… Princess Royal, we have reached princess.” The eunuch stood in front of a quiet room tremblingly and said cautiously, “The king is meditating…”

“Bang!” Li Qingjun kicked open the door.

Li Qinglin sat cross-legged inside and meditated. When he heard the sound, he slowly opened his eyes and smiled, “You’re still so fiery.”

Li Qingjun stared angrily, “Our spies in the West Savage Kingdom have reported many times that the West Savage Kingdom is storing ration, and there are unusual movements. General Xie has judged that they will definitely invade in the spring. I’m not good at these matters at all. The officials are waiting for your orders, and you still have time to cultivate here!”

Li Qinglin said very calmly, “Yesterday evening, I listened to General Xie’s report. I knew this well.”

Li Qingjun was stunned for a moment. She said angrily, “Then why don’t you attend the court?”

“Most court affairs are nonsense, annoying, and harmful to people’s calm minds.” Li Qinglin said slowly, “I know the priorities. If I die before the West Savage Kingdom has come yet, everything will be in vain. Those troubles in court… Please bear with me.”

Li Qingjun said angrily, “I can’t do it! It will only be a mess!”

“No one is born with it. Listen to the opinions of civil and military officials. You’re very smart.”

“You!” Li Qingjun paused and said, “Are you doing it to prolong your life or to live forever? Can you still tell the difference?”

Li Qinglin still said kindly, “I can tell the difference clearly, so don’t worry.”

Li Qingjun took a few deep breaths and suddenly asked coldly, “Then what have you achieved these days?”

“Almost.” Li Qinglin said, “Qin Yi can cultivate, so of course I can.”

“Qin Yi is just at the first stage. He is still thousands of miles away from the so-called immortality, and he has never said that he can live forever.” Li Qingjun paused and said slowly, “Royal Brother, there is no immortality in the world.”

Li Qinglin’s pupils shrank slightly, and Li Qingjun looked at him calmly.

Both of them had a feeling of confusion in time and space as if they were the former emperor and prince here.

It was like a reincarnation.

After a long time, Li Qinglin slowly said, “I’m not father.”

Li Qingjun also said coldly, “I also hope I don’t need to be Li Qinglin.”

…………

Under the rift valley, Qin Yi took Ye Ling back to the stone array last night. The injury on his shoulder still needed to be treated. Ye Ling started fighting as soon as she woke up, so he needed to figure out the specific situation before planning the next step.

“I, I don’t know what happened to me.” Ye Ling scratched her head, “I just feel like my body no longer hurts, my injuries are healed, and my physical strength has become stronger…”

Liu Su said, “A lot of the low-level blood in her body has been replaced. Her current blood is a hybrid of various python beastkins, but these types of blood can’t grant her any new talents. At most, they can strengthen her physical body. Because the level of Flying Serpent’s blood is too high, no matter how thin it is, it is still dominant.”

Qin Yi asked, “Then what is this breakthrough? She is at least at the last few levels of the Morph Stage. When I first met her, she was only at the first level. This breakthrough is faster than cheating.”

“Her current breakthrough is indeed quite strange. It stands to reason that this kind of blood exchange cannot increase cultivation.” Liu Su explained, “In fact, the replacement of blood only increases her upper limit of evolution. Her initial ordinary snake blood will be a huge burden to her cultivation. She might be stuck at the Morph Stage forever, but now she has no problem to advance to the Condensation Stage.”

Ye Ling sat cross-legged in front of him, blinking at Qin Yi and wondering what he was doing. While Qin Yi was treating his wounds, he also looked at Ye Ling in confusion. Both of them were confused.

Qin Yi suddenly felt that: Ye Ling obviously did not have the Flying Serpent blood, but the Saiyan blood. She made a breakthrough in the extreme pain of the beastkin refining array; she was almost killed by Ming He’s Seven Stars Array, and then she made a breakthrough again; this time, she was dying again, and she made another breakthrough again.

If this is not Saiyan…

Liu Su pondered, “Her breakthrough should be due to personal factors. Firstly, she has a high talent for cultivating. Secondly, she has a strong desire to survive and strong willpower. Therefore, every time she is desperate, her inner potential can be stimulated. The real purpose is to save her life… “

“…” Qin Yi was relieved immediately. This is indeed Ye Ling’s style.

Liu Su said, “But this cannot be treated as the norm, and it may even lead to a weak foundation. The right way is to have a truly systematic beastkin methods. I don’t know anything about baestkin cultivation methods. This invitation to the Beastkin City… I think it’s definitely worth considering.”

They still got back to this point. Qin Yi looked at Ye Ling for a long time and asked hesitantly, “This invitation to the Beastkin City…”

Ye Ling whispered, “Brother, I want to go. I always feel that beastkin has to stay in beastkin society. In human society… it’s very uncomfortable.”

Qin Yi was stunned for a moment and sighed.

The things Ye Ling came into contact with in human society did not seem to be favorable. Dong Huazi’s malice, Li Qinglin’s use, Ming He’s hostility, the shaman’s greed, and ordinary people’s fear and discrimination. That was why she treated Qin Yi as an elder brother and followed him around. Because she never had a good experience in front of others.

Beastkin has to stay in beastkin society…

“But Brother… I know that you are here to find a way to lift the curse. It is difficult for you to do it alone.” Ye Ling straightened her body and said seriously, “I will definitely complete this matter with you. I won’t leave halfway own.”

Qin Yi was very moved. Who said beastkins are cold-blooded? See how cute Ye Ling is.

He caressed Ye Ling’s head and said lowly, “Then let’s fight side by side again. The shaman at the top of the mountain must be in serious trouble. If we plan carefully, maybe we can catch him off guard.”

Ye Ling’s big eyes lit up with excitement.

She actually held grudges.

TL: Saiyan? Not 1000-7? They can also exchange Ye Ling to the Beastkin King for the solution of the curse, right?
