Asked About The World Of Mortals

Chapter 54: The King and the Royal Tutor

Li Qinglin ascended to the throne.

As a king who didn't even bother with the invasion of the Western Wilderness and left it to his son to handle, one can imagine how weak his control over the military was. Li Qinglin didn't even exert any pressure; he simply temporarily took control of the palace to avoid any accidents due to his own problems. With just that, the king sensibly announced his abdication.

By the time Li Qinglin was throwing a tantrum at home, the imperial edict had already spread.

The king, despite neglecting state affairs, was still a typical politician. He knew that if he didn't take the initiative, it would be difficult for him to even stay alive. By taking the initiative, he could become a retired emperor in peace and focus on his own cultivation.

Of course, he didn't know that he didn't have many days left to live.

The king's proactive abdication made Li Qinglin's legal position much better, avoiding many potential hidden currents and turmoil. Amidst the cries of "exterminate the remnants of the Western Wilderness demon Donghua Zi" in the capital, Li Qinglin officially ascended to the throne.

Qin Yi sat in his room cultivating and didn't participate in this grand event.

Li Qinglin's immediate ascension to the throne meant that he would not give up the position of king.

Qin Yi also had some conflicting feelings about this. The best path for Li Qinglin's current situation would be to give up the throne and cultivate immortality. However, this path would be good for Li Qinglin but not so good for Li Qingjun. She would have to stay in the Golden Palace as a queen, burdened with a responsibility that could crush a person.

If Li Qinglin wanted to ascend the throne, then let him... As long as he didn't die, Li Qingjun would still have some degree of choice.

Qin Yi used to think that Donghua Zi was the enemy he had to face when he emerged from seclusion, but now he realized that Donghua Zi himself was not important. What mattered was what he experienced and gained during this process.

After all, this was not a game where defeating a boss would give you experience.

This was life.

Even though Liu Su could treat this mortal world as a game, Qin Yi couldn't be so detached. He had to admit that he was truly worried about Li Qinglin's state of mind, Li Qingjun's future, and the fate of Nanli.

As Ming He said, he had become too deeply immersed in the role and fallen into a dream.

Now, his greatest hope was for a reply from Ming He's sect that could turn everything around. If that happened, everything would be resolved, saving them from many troubles.

During this period, it was useless to think about anything. It was better to focus on his own cultivation.

At least in this matter, defeating a boss would indeed give him experience points to level up.

After transmigrating for over three months, he had been practicing martial arts from the first day, following Liu Su's guidance. It was clear that he was progressing better than the original owner, who had been exploring the secret manual on his own. He also used various medicinal herbs for body tempering and nourishing True Qi, which should have led to rapid progress in cultivation. However, he couldn't break through the Innate barrier no matter what.

Naturally, this was because there was too much resentment in this body, which was detrimental to both martial cultivation and Dao cultivation. Now that he had personally killed the two enemies who had tried to kill him and had contributed to Donghua Zi's downfall, all the resentment of the original owner had dissipated. If it weren't for Li Qinglin's situation disturbing the joy of his success, he should have had a breakthrough at the moment of Donghua Zi's death.

But now it was not a problem. He just needed to focus and dispel the distractions caused by Li Qinglin's situation.

Amidst the chaos, a surge of heat spread from his dantian, flowing through the stars in his meridians, rushing up and down his spine, reaching the Yongquan acupoint at the bottom and surging up to the Lingtai acupoint at the top. It was as if the Heavenly Gate had opened, connecting to the Divine Bridge, completely expanding his own small world, merging with the external world, achieving the Great Circulation.

It felt as if all vitality automatically permeated through his pores, spreading across his skin, penetrating deep into his bones and marrow. Qin Yi felt that even if he didn't need to breathe, he could live for a very long time...

Innate Qi realm.

Qin Yi opened his eyes.

The grainy texture on the stone door of the quiet room was clearly visible.

The dust around him, as if illuminated by light in the dark room, revealed every speck that was previously invisible.

The whole world became clear.

This feeling even brought a heartfelt sense of awe, as if he had come one step closer to the origin of the world.

People who cultivate, whether in martial arts or the Dao, all want to be different from ordinary people, right... This clear perception of the world, isn't it a kind of transcendence?

Qin Yi tried to throw a punch.

True Qi surged out, bringing with it a tiger-like roar.

Finally experiencing Li Qinglin's level, the improvement in his physique, the increase in strength, the vitality, and even the vigorousness of his life were all qualitative leaps. Qin Yi was certain that if Li Qinglin hadn't reached this level, this aging process would have made it impossible for him to even walk.

As expected, this breakthrough also benefited his magical power. The originally thin strand of magical power had now grown like grass.

Suddenly, a voice sounded in his sea of consciousness: "Reaching Innate, to a certain extent, you can already sense the existence of divine consciousness. If you were purely a Martial Artist, you wouldn't be able to use divine consciousness at the moment, but since you now possess magical power, you might be able to find a way..."

Qin Yi's heart stirred: "What do you mean?"

"I will teach you a technique. Try to communicate with me using your mind, that is, convey what you want to say to the Wolf Tooth Club with your thoughts. If you can achieve just this, it should be possible," Liu Su's voice sounded in his sea of consciousness.

Qin Yi was overjoyed. He couldn't communicate with his mind, and it was silly to talk to the club like he was talking to himself. When there were other people around, he often couldn't speak and felt uncomfortable. If he could really communicate with Liu Su without making a sound, it would make him even happier than doubling his strength.

Carefully feeling it, he could indeed feel that his divine consciousness was like a vast and boundless sea, but he didn't know how to use it. Following Liu Su's technique, it seemed to have some substance, and it seemed that he could reluctantly do something... He tried to send a thought to the Wolf Tooth Club in his hand: "Club?"

"... " Liu Su remained silent.

"Did it fail?" Qin Yi was not discouraged and continued to send his thoughts: "Let's try again..."

"No need to try, I don't feel like dealing with you." Liu Su said, "Don't show off your shallow skills in front of Ming He. She will almost instantly notice that you are communicating with the club in your hand, which would be embarrassing."

Qin Yi continued to play with his thoughts: "I feel like you're getting bolder in front of Ming He. Is it because your soul power has recovered?"

"Yes," Liu Su said lightly, "In fact, I have been recovering every day for the past three months, but this self-recovery is very slow. I need something to nourish my soul."

Qin Yi wondered, "If you need something to nourish your soul, you should have told me earlier. When I asked the people from the Prince's Mansion to find medicinal materials, they could have found it for you."

"I didn't want to say it at that time," Liu Su said, "At that time, you were still wary of me. Once you discovered that I was trying to find something to nourish my soul, you would have become suspicious."

"Alright. I'll start looking for medicine for you today," Qin Yi stood up, stretched his arms, and waved the Wolf Tooth Club, "From now on, you'll be full of vitality, Club."

Liu Su was annoyed.

A voice of a guard from the Prince's Mansion sounded outside the door, "Mr. Qin, the king has sent someone to deliver an edict."

The king... Qin Yi was stunned for a moment before remembering that the current king was Li Qinglin. He suppressed the unfamiliar feeling in his heart and opened the door.

In front of him stood a eunuch who nodded and bowed obsequiously to Qin Yi, "Congratulations, National Teacher, congratulations..."

Qin Yi frowned, "Are you calling the wrong person? Donghua Zi is at the vegetable market."

"No, no," the eunuch unfolded the edict without bothering to read the verbose words, and said directly, "Today, the king ascended the throne and bestowed titles upon the officials. The first one is to confer Qin Yi as the South Departure Qingwei Grand Master of Propagation, and all the possessions of the Changsheng Temple are to be transferred to the Grand Master. Even this former Prince's Mansion is bestowed upon the Grand Master as..."

Qin Yi twitched his mouth. He wanted to curse at this mess, but as the words reached his lips, he suddenly felt a movement in his heart and asked, "What kind of things are there in the Changsheng Temple?"

The eunuch smiled apologetically, "Donghua Zi, the demonic cultivator, has been plundering for many years, so there are countless treasures stored in the treasury, waiting for the Grand Master to inspect..."

Qin Yi looked at the Wolf Tooth Club in his hand. He couldn't bring himself to refuse, and finally sighed, "Thank the king on my behalf."

Suddenly, he felt someone looking at him and turned his head to see Li Qingjun standing not far away, quietly watching him.

Qin Yi felt a bit awkward. He didn't know how to explain, but Li Qingjun smiled slightly, "Keep it. Only you know how to make good use of it. You also want to help your brother, don't you?"

This girl is worth cherishing! Qin Yi was so moved that he almost hugged her in public and kissed her fiercely. He solemnly replied, "Don't worry. I'm not Donghua Zi."

Continue to ask for recommendations, there are about three days left on the new book list.
