Chapter 203: Intact Jade Body
"But what?"
Lin Mu Yu said with a gentle laugh, "Do you want to see what just happened again? Tang Bin was bullying you, not only humiliating you, but also your friend? Can you endure everything?"
"I don't want to….." Tang Xiao Xi bit her red lips and said, "I am cousins with him, so I don't want it to develop that far for authority."
"But it has been like this since ancient times. Duke Lan cares for you this much, he will definitely leave a place in Seven Seas City for you. Tang Bing will clash swords with you eventually, it is better to take care of this earlier."
Lin Mu Yu's eyes were sincere and Tang Xiao Xi couldn't look into them. Her face turned red as she said, "But Seven Seas City has its rules, only those people who have grasped the Fire Fox Seal can become the Seven Seas City's lord. Grandfather's Fire Fox Seal has already reached the perfection realm while Tang Bin's Fire Fox Seal is already in the seventh layer. I am a girl and can't even reach the first layer of the Fire Fox Seal."
"It doesn't matter, there must be a way."
Lin Mu Yu took a deep breath and said, "We just have to ask our two elders Lei Hong and Qu Chu, we'll see if they have a way to solve the problem of girls being unable to cultivate the Fire Fox Seal."
"Un!" Tang Xiao Xi nodded with a smile. She held Lin Mu Yu's hand and said with a smile, "Mu Mu, it really is good having you."
Lin Mu Yu smiled and said, "Do you think that I'm more reliable than your big brothers."
"Un!"
"Relax Xiao Xi, I will protect you in the future and won't let anyone bully you."
"Alright, I'll remember what you said today. You also have to remember it."
"I will!"
Zhang Wei was stunned on the side, "Good fellow, you're flirting while treating this general as thin air. Could it be that you don't care about the feelings of a single dog like me?"
Lin Mu Yu laughed, "I have to thank sir Zhang Wei for coming on time. I'll talk to Feng Ji Xing about you another day and have you promoted to a ten thousand man commander earlier!"
"Ha, ha, many thanks sir Lin Mu Yu. I knew that sir would take care of this old Zhang!"
Tang Xiao Xi was a bit speechless as she looked at Lin Mu Yu and Zhang Wei. There was a worried look in her hand as she forcefully pulled Lin Mu Yu's hand and said, "Mu Mu, let's hurry back to the city. We shouldn't stay here for long."
"Alright……"
At night, in the Ze Tian Palace. The moonlight sprinkled down on the palace walls like water.
Outside the Phoenix Roost Pavilion, there were twenty Dragon Guards with Chu Huai Sheng leading them guarding outside. The moonlight shined down on their silver armour, releasing a holy light. Although the night wind was cold, these loyal Dragon Guards didn't fear the cold as they stood there like stone.
Inside the hall, there was a soup on the stove that was slowly boiling.
Qu Chu and Lei Hong were sitting there, appreciating good tea. Qin Yin, Tang Xiao Xi, and Lin Mu Yu were on the side. It wasn't easy inviting Lei Hong here at night and with Qu Chu here, it was a rare chance for the empire's two Saint Realm Experts to be gathered together.
"This really is a difficult problem."
Lei Hong considered this before looking at Tang Xiao Xi and saying, "Princess Xi has a woman's body and her physique and sea of qi is different from that of a man's. With a rare powerful cultivation technique like the Fire Fox Seal, it is very overbearing. One without a man's sea of qi cannot breed the fire elemental energy of the Fire Fox Seal and one cannot gather the Fire Fox Seal without the fire elemental energy."
Tang Xiao Xi's lips quivered, hesitating to speak.
Lin Mu Yu asked what she wanted to ask, "Great deacon, what difference does a man and woman's sea of qi have? Why can Xiao Yin use an overbearing martial spirit like the God Binding Lock and Xiao Xi can't gather the Fire Fox Seal?"
"This is very different.
Qu Chu spoke this time. He looked up and said, "Although the God Binding Lock is overbearing, it is after all a bloodline inherited martial spirit. Although her highness Xiao Yin is a female, she has the true dragon bloodline of the Qin Family, so naturally she can inherit the God Binding Lock. Princess Xi's body is very different, she has a very normal girl's body."
Lei Hong then said, "The sea of qi is gathered inside the dantian and men's dantian have a profound gate called "Gate Energy". After each men is born, this gate is opened and they can use energy without restriction, so they can cultivate any powerful cultivation technique. After a woman is born, that profound gate is closed, so unless it is forced open, they cannot cultivate a yang attributed cultivation technique."
Lin Mu Yu seemed to see a faint hope as he said, "Can't we just open Xiao Xi's profound gate?"
Lei Hong shook his head and said, "No……A woman's profound gate is like her body. Each girl is born with an Intact Jade Body and only after copulating with a man will the bottom "profound gate" open. However, the sea of qi's profound gate can't be broken. Once it is broken, the sea of qi will scatter out and it is the same as crippling one's sea of qi."
Instantly, Qin Yin and Tang Xiao Xi's face turned beet red.
Lin Mu Yu was speechless as he said, "The metaphor of an Intact Jade Body? It can't be that bloody. The great deacon is telling me that the only way is for Xiao Xi to be with a man to open her profound gate?"
Lei Hong glared at him, "You're dreaming, even that won't work. The only method is to slightly open the profound gate and protect princess Xi's sea of qi from scattering, otherwise if the profound gate is open, the sea of qi scattering will make her into a cripple.
"Is there no other way?" Lin Mu Yu was a bit anxious.
Qu Chu revealed a faint smile, "Brat Lin, you're this worried for princess Xi, why is that?"
Lin Mu Yu said, "Elder Qu doesn't know this, but Seven Seas City's Tang Bin tried to force Xiao Xi into a corner. If it wasn't for me and Zhang Wei being there, perhaps he would have forcefully taken that Tang Family Iron Token from Xiao Xi."
"So it's like this……"
Qu Chu stroked his beard as he said while his eyes lit up, "Seven Seas City indeed is a large variable for the empire. There are over two hundred thousand soldiers who are all well trained, as well as many experts and not weak young masters like Tang Bin, Tang Lu, and Tang Tian. Currently Duke Lan is there and can stabilize Seven Seas City's situation, but if Duke Lan leaves, Seven Seas City will fall into chaos."
Saying this, Qu Chu looked at Lin Mu Yu and said, "You're very right in doing this. If Princess Xi takes power, her highness Yin can have a large supporter like princess Xi when she takes the throne. Otherwise, when her highness Xiao Yin takes the throne, without a stable seat, the empire will be filled with chaos."
Qin Yin was stunned, "Father is still in good condition, it won't….."
Qu Chu shook his head and said, "His majesty's body is becoming weaker with each day, Xiao Yin, why are you deceiving yourself? You are the heir and will one day take over the empire, there are some things you have to plan for eventually. Old men like Lei Hong and I are still alive and can still provide some influence, but on the day old men like Lei Hong and I aren't here anymore, your highness will depend on people of the same generation like Ah Yu, Feng Ji Xing, and princess Xi."
Qin Yin's eyes turned red, "Elder Chu…..I understand."
Lei Hong stroked his white beard as he said with a smile, "Old man Qu, don't scare her highness Yin. It's not that terrifying, although his majesty's body is weakening, he can still continue for another ten years. You also saw it, when his majesty titled the Wind, Rain, Thunder, and Lightning Generals, it was actually preparing great generals for Xiao Yin. Feng Ji Xing, Lin Mu Yu, Qin Lei, and Chu Huai Sheng have limitless potential. With the four of them here, half the Great Qin land can be consolidated.
Qin Yin blinked before looking at Lin Mu Yu and quickly asking, "Big brother Ah Yu, you'll always be by my side, right?"
Lin Mu Yu was stunned. Seeing Qin Yin's beautiful face, he couldn't help being a bit thrown off. He said with a nod, "Un, as long as Xiao Yin needs me, I will not leave!"
Qin Yin revealed a smile that could make all living beings fall.
Lei Hong knit his brows and said, "It seems like it's imperative for princess Xi to take the position of the Seven Seas City successor. Fine, fine…..Your highness Xiao Yin, how about you let me and old man Qu look over the books in the Book Storing Pavilion? I think that with the old reserves of the empire, perhaps we can be lucky enough to find a way to let princess Xi cultivate the Fire Fox Seal."
"Un."
Qin Yin gave a strong nod, "I will write a decree for you, the official at the Book Storing Pavilion will let you pass."
Lin Mu Yu said, "Can I go as well? An extra person is a bit more hope."
Lei Hong nodded in agreement, "Alright, then come as well Ah Yu."
Qin Yin and Tang Xiao Xi smiled at each other. They decided not to write the decree and go with them. The five of them would spend the night in the Book Storing Pavilion.
Late at night, there were a total of ten stoves inside the Book Storing Pavilion, but it couldn't stop the cold wind coming from the door.
Lin Mu Yu stood in front of a pile of ancient books, looking over them one by one. After being in this world for so long, he had basically understood this world's words, so it wasn't too hard for him to look it over.
Qin Yin and Tang Xiao Xi lit lanterns as they read the ancient books while being taken care of by maids.
Lei Hong and Qu Chu kept wandering through the books, looking through them one by one with furrowed brows.
Outside the Book Storing Pavilion, Chu Huai Sheng's group of twenty one Dragon Guards were standing guard. The night was ice cold and there was a layer of frost on their armour, but not a single person moved. As the cold wind blew over them, all the could do was use their true qi to block the cold. However, how could a person's body contend against the forces of nature, their faces turned cold in the blink of an eye.
When the first light of dawn fell onto Orchid Goose City, Qu Chu's excited voice came from the Book Storing Pavilion, "Found it! I found it!"
"What is it?"
Lin Mu Yu stood up and ran over with Qin Yin and Tang Xiao Xi.
They saw Qu Chu holding an ancient scroll with four words written on it, "Hibiscus duckweed plum flower!"
Lin Mu Yu's face turned purple, "Elder Qu, do you have the wrong book?"
"No, it's this one!"
Qu Chu said with a faint smile, "Ah Yu, we'll have to depend on you to break princess Xi's profound gate!"
"What do you mean?"
"Hibiscus duckweed plum flower is a level ten medicine, a kind of medicine refined with level nine herbs and it's called the 'Intact Jade Medicine'. Do you know of the Alchemist God rank as an alchemist?" Qu Chu's face was covered in excitement.
"Intact Jade Medicine….." Lin Mu Yu was amazed.
Qu Chu continued to say, "It's said that over five thousand years ago, after the Scarlet Phoenix Emperor ascended to the throne, he found an absolute beauty in the mortal world named 'Ji Rong'. However, Ji Rong didn't have an Intact Jade Body, so the Scarlet Phoenix Emperor ordered all the Alchemist Gods in the world to create a medicine that could restore a girl's Intact Jade Body, which is this Intact Jade Medicine. We can use this method to let princess Xi break her profound gate and with Lei Hong and my Saint Realm power to prevent her sea of qi scattering, she can cultivate the Fire Fox Seal's first layer during this short time before drinking this Intact Jade Medicine. Perhaps this way princess Xi can cultivate the Fire Fox Seal!"
Lin Mu Yu was speechless, he had to admit he "submitted". He rubbed his eyes and said, "Alright, I'll immediately find this hibiscus duckweed plum flower and the arhat vanilla. Damn, this Scarlet Phoenix Emperor cared that much about a girl's virginity, these obsessive compulsive people are really something….."
"Alright……"
