Chapter 6, The Decree of the Celestial Palace
Whether it was the old eunuch or the surrounding ceremonial guards, they were all taken aback, and then everyone lowered their heads, pretending not to see
The young man suddenly became enraged, sweeping all the fruits on the table to the ground, causing everyone in the pavilion to be greatly astonished, with many falling to their knees
The young man's complexion had turned exceedingly gloomy: "When alive, I dared not make him wait; would he still not be willing to wait after death?"
This ... ...
At that moment, the young man's attendant, who was holding a curly-haired dog in her arms, suddenly sniffed the air, her eyes widening in surprise. She struggled as the dog jumped out of her embrace, eagerly darting to the ground and swallowing the pill in one bite
... ...
Everyone around was greatly astonished, eager to rush over and pick it up, yet hesitant to do so
As the young man spoke, his expression became exceedingly gloomy, and he suddenly said: "Bring it here!"
Everyone gazed at the elixir, their expressions subtly shifting, all feeling a stir of desire.
With just this slight margin of three-tenths, one has entered within ten seconds from beyond ten seconds
The Five Good Youths from the Arch-Nemesis
The expression on the face of the eunuch had become somewhat awkward. After a brief moment of contemplation, he hesitantly said: "Your Highness, that Master Fang Chi is still waiting..."
With his eyes slightly closed, he was slowly calculating in his heart: "If I were to use all these merits to enhance my innate energy..."
The square foot is small and far from home, gathering less and parting more, and there are not many of his belongings at home.
The eunuch turned his head to glance outside the pavilion, where a misty drizzle fell like dew. Feeling somewhat helpless, he bent his body and softly advised, "Your Highness, your delicate constitution cannot be exposed to the rain. This old servant can take action to disperse these ominous clouds for you..."
... ...
Although he is dead, do not think that this king has forgotten how he treated me in the beginning
The weather was overcast, and soon fine rain began to fall, accompanied by the rumble of spring thunder
Beside him stood a plump eunuch in a blue robe, who softly advised: "His Highness the Seventh Prince has been commanded by the Celestial Emperor to come and deliver the decree, escorting that small immortal master for a while. It should not delay the appointed time. Although it is merely a grave of clothing and crown, it reflects our celestial palace's attitude. This is precisely to demonstrate our celestial palace's dignity and our appreciation for talent to the Fang family, to Liu Lake, and to the people of the world..."
Talent is a gift from heaven. Some are inherently strong, while others are inherently weak. The food and exercise in daily life can change a part of this and can also slow down the decline of one's innate vitality, but it is forever impossible to surpass that limit. It is akin to the vast majority of people in previous lives; no matter how hard they train, they cannot break the ten-second barrier in the hundred meters, as it exceeds the realm of possibility.
After all, as a young person, being usually lazy and indulging in pleasures such as wine and lust, one's innate vitality will inevitably decline
Including the already deceased square ruler, as the decree of the celestial palace has yet to arrive, he can only wait and must not be buried
Thus, in the hazy drizzle, everyone could only wait
Why are you in such a hurry? Can't you see it's raining? Aren't you afraid of getting wet because of me
He can display his merits in slaying demons and eliminating evil, and he can even use these merits to enhance his innate energy
Fang Cun took a deep breath and suppressed this thought
Are you referring to the Nine Qi Nine Transformation Dao Marvelous Life Pill that His Majesty brought from the Celestial Realm and bestowed upon the descendants of the Fang family?
Although it is merely the burial of a set of clothes and a cap, countless people still come to pay their respects
The sound of rustling
... ...
After waiting for a long time, the area at the foot of the mountain appeared vast and desolate, with no signs of life whatsoever
At this time, they were all waiting for the messenger from the Celestial Palace to come and pay their respects to the young immortal master Fang Chi.
The young man glared at him instead and said, "This king is not in a hurry; it's enough to just hide!"
Fangcun quietly murmured to himself, suppressing the unreliable thoughts in his heart
In comparison, I should be more concerned about another issue
Not only the heads of various prominent families in the city, renowned loose cultivators inside and outside the city, and those who have received favors from the Fang family, but even the head of the Bai Xiang Academy and three of the four great masters, along with more than a dozen instructors, have come. Additionally, dozens of officials, including the city guard of Liu Hu City and their aides and spiritual generals, have also gathered, all standing in a cluster before this tomb, silently waiting in the rain to send this body adorned in ceremonial attire into the grave
However, the current Dao of Heaven's merit chart can change this
According to ancient customs, whenever a celestial talent falls, even if it is a transcendent master of Qi refinement beyond the mortal realm, a decree of consolation will be issued.
The surrounding guards and attendants exchanged glances, hesitating for a moment, before one of them approached the ranks, standing before the bronze cauldron on the purple-gold vessel. He opened the lid of the cauldron, retrieved a small purple box from within, and presented it to him with both hands.
The ancestral tomb was purchased by the Fang family a few years ago, situated on the sunny side of the mountain, indeed a good location. However, the old master of the Fang family initially thought that the first person to be buried here would be himself, but unexpectedly... it was actually his ambitious eldest son who got there first
It has been seven days since the rumor of the demise of the eldest son of the Fang family reached Liuhu City. During these seven days, this matter has spread throughout Liuhu City and even to the surrounding states and counties. If we consider even further, perhaps outside of Liuhu City, this news has long since circulated throughout the entire Great Xia region, and even to several other kingdoms beyond Great Xia.
This is unethical
In this way, one's innate energy has already reached the level of 32 inches, which can be considered top-notch even at the Baixiang Academy
The clouds drift and the rain falls, this is the natural order of the heavens. How could you, an old servant, have such audacity to act recklessly?
The young man opened the purple box and saw that inside was a red and white elixir.
This point, in the eyes of outsiders, may appear to be a very normal... well, a relatively normal matter
From the perspective of the merits I can currently use to transform into innate energy, it seems that they all come from the demons I have previously eliminated. In other words, if I wish to acquire more merits, I must continuously slay those demons and monsters that bring calamity to the world
The rich aroma of medicine permeates the air, and the vegetation surrounding this pavilion seems to have suddenly gained a touch of vitality, lush and radiant.
... ...
... ...
One hundred merits can enhance one-tenth of the innate energy
Then let him wait
The young man watched this scene and suddenly burst into laughter, his laughter refreshing: "Feeding the dog is better than feeding him!"
Such a person deserves to die in the Eternal Night Wilderness, and deserves to be the laughingstock of the world!
... ...
When one's innate energy reaches the extreme limit of three inches, three tenths, and three millimeters, or even exceeds one foot, surpasses one zhang, or directly reaches thirty-three zhang, three hundred thirty zhang, what will one become?
The eunuch's expression gradually became somber, no longer attempting to persuade.
The young man gently took the elixir in his hand, playing with it between his fingers, and a playful smile gradually appeared on his face. Suddenly, he let out a soft "oh dear," and with a slight release of his grip, the extraordinary elixir rolled onto the ground, becoming covered in dirt.
At this moment, what is even more important is the marvelous application of the Heavenly Dao Merit Chart
A deep-seated hatred appeared on the young man's face, and he almost gritted his teeth as he said: "He was originally a dog raised in my celestial palace, yet he always likes to teach his master how to act. He is nothing but a wild grass that has grown in the muddy banks of Liu Lake, yet he always presents himself in a ridiculous manner as if he is here to bring rain and blessings to the world. I should have been the one who supported and served him the most, yet he only knows how to reprimand me..."
He is my teacher, yet he only knows how to oppose me, and now he even wants me to deliver elixirs to his family
He felt a sudden shock, realizing that he was following in his elder brother's footsteps
However, by refining the body and eliminating bad habits, one can return to their original state
Yet this procession, merely a step away from the tomb, comes to a halt here
They have been waiting for half an hour, yet the burial has not taken place
In a world that does not accommodate good people, you still want me to be a good person
He consumed 300 points of merit, directly enhancing the innate energy of Fangcun by 3 li
He was unaware of the current external circumstances surrounding the Fang family following his elder brother's recent passing. Therefore, he dared not make any abrupt moves, fearing that others might notice his sudden transformation overnight. As a result, he could only spend the subsequent time practicing martial arts daily, gradually enhancing his innate energy in the process, which appeared to be a recovery of his physical condition
In the southern part of the city, at Longjipo, the eldest son of the Fang family, Fang Chi, the celestial master of the Great Xia, is being buried
Your Highness, it is time to set off
Meanwhile, ten miles away, beside a pavilion set by the roadside, a grand procession was waiting, consisting of a retinue of three to four hundred attendants. Some held burial items bestowed by the Celestial Emperor, others carried soul lanterns, some bore white flowers, and others held fragrant incense for soothing the spirits. The level of formality was so high that it nearly rivaled that of a tribute to a revered king.
What is the difference between this and forcing someone to act foolishly
... ...
Even my disciples in the Immortal Palace must achieve meritorious deeds to receive the reward of the Grand Dao Marvelous Life Pill, yet it is simply bestowed upon his family
The eunuch looked at the young man, whose face was contorted with anger, and cautiously said: "As for the reward for the Fang family..."
The eunuch bent his body and did not dare to respond
However, he is after all His Highness's teacher
The master of the Fang family was unaware of the magnitude of this incident; he only knew that his child was gone, a white-haired person sending off a black-haired one. In his grief, he could only arrange for the funeral. However, Fang Chi had perished in the Eternal Night Wilderness, leaving no remains behind. Therefore, what was buried in the Fang family ancestral tomb at this time was merely a set of robes worn by the eldest son of the Fang family during his childhood and a wooden horse.
One still has two thousand seven hundred merits, which can enhance twenty-seven points of innate thought
Others are not urging at all, they are just waiting patiently
If one continues to slay demons and eliminate evil, can one continuously acquire merit and perpetually enhance innate energy
The young man, feeling impatient, turned his head and glared at the plump eunuch.
The surroundings were silent, and no one dared to respond to his words
... ...
In the pavilion, there sat a young man adorned with a golden crown on his head, dressed in a yellow robe, and with white ribbons tied around his arms. He was seated on a stone bench, with a table full of fresh fruits before him, lazily having them fed into his mouth by a maid while playfully teasing her.
The small immortal master Fang Chi had already entered the Hall of the Seven Kings as a companion during his lifetime. In the Great Xia Dynasty, he was a transcendent figure beyond the mundane world. Naturally, there should be envoys from the immortal realm coming to pay their respects, and it is even possible that the Immortal Emperor himself might descend to convey his condolences. Furthermore, the Fang family had already received news that indeed an immortal envoy was on the way. Now, unable to wait for the immortal envoy, they naturally dared not proceed with the burial.
... ...
... ...
The young man turned to look at the eunuch and chuckled: "I heard he died, and my father specifically rushed over from the outer heavens, disregarding the oppressive demons, to search for his remains in the wilderness. I heard he died, and the Ascended Daoist Lady, in a fit of rage, destroyed three demon mountains. I heard he died, and my elder brother even stormed into the Demon Pool to unleash a massacre... Hehe, each of them actually dislikes this person, yet they all pretend to be heartbroken, as if the sky of our Great Xia is about to collapse because a wild dog has died.
