Chapter 492: Atop Falling Dragon Mountain, Great Qin Technology, Far Ahead, The Demon Buddha inside Kutuo Temple_2
However, he miscalculated.
With a gaze as if he'd seen a ghost, Qing Yunzi watched as Zhen Ruan, in bright red attire and short hair, stood out from the crowd, holding Lin Luo's hand as they approached the same desk.
"No, Sister Lin Luo, you've arrived at the perfect time~ My husband was just saying he was going to send someone to invite you," Zhen Ruan said with a covered mouth and a light laugh.
"Indeed, Fellow Taoist Lin Luo, you've arrived at the perfect time," Yi Chen grinned, and amidst Qing Feng and Ming Yue's hisses, he suddenly pulled the two women into his embrace, causing both women to blush deeply.
After the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Lin Luo and Zhen Ruan were mixing dough, while Yi Chen, with his hands behind his back, paced to Qing Yunzi's desk, looking here and there.
"Junior brother, the way you're mixing the dough is not right," Yi Chen said as he pinched a handful of the wet dough from Qing Yunzi's desk, his eyebrows suddenly furrowing.
"Eh? What's not...?"
Slap~
A hand smudged with wet, mushy dough suddenly loomed larger and larger in Qing Yunzi's eyes~
"Now it's right~"
"Ha ha, ha ha," Qing Feng and Ming Yue couldn't help but burst into laughter, leaning forward and back, but then they suddenly saw Qing Yunzi walking towards them with a smile on his face.
"Sister Lin Luo, Sister Zhen Ruan, save us~"
"Sister Zhen Ruan, Sister Lin Luo, save us~"
The two sly youngsters cried out for help, sneaking behind the two women who cooperated by shielding them like chicks behind them.
For a moment, the air was filled with a cheerful atmosphere.
That night, Lin Luo stayed in the guest room on Falling Dragon Mountain.
That night, World-Shaking Pure Yang Yi Taoist finally got to eat dumplings.
Three meals!!!
In the darkness, the sound of "taking off armor" echoed twice.
…
…
Three days passed in a flash.
During these three days, aside from occasionally spending time with Qing Feng and Ming Yue at noon, and giving some advice on mundane affairs to Qing Yunzi, Yi Chen offered guidance to the disciples of the Great Justice Martial Alliance in their Martial Path.
Bai Shishi was a given, but the talent of a young disciple he had taken in, named "Bugul," took him by pleasant surprise.
He had actually underestimated Bugul's Martial Path talent.
Those who don't plan for the future will face immediate worries.
The Demon Realm had been arranged as a sustainable field for exhaustive exploitation; therefore, for Yi Chen, the Human Realm was the seed of a Martial Path world prepared for his future.
A tree does not make a spring; a hundred flowers in bloom bring spring to the garden, right?
Working on the market while developing technology, he needed to strive in both areas, to be strong in both.
Yi Chen had his plans for the future laid crystal clear.
"So, next it's time to deal with Kutuo Temple and Mount Daguangming."
Atop Falling Dragon Mountain, Yi Chen walked out from the Great Justice Martial Alliance, gazing into the boundless sea of clouds, he stood against the Heavenly Wind, his eyes half-open.
'Comprehending the Tao' for three days, Zhen Ruan and Lin Luo had eaten their fill, and he, Yi Chengzi, was ready to start his own affairs.
After all, Fish Dragon Dance was just a pastime; cultivating people and battle power was Yi Chen's life goal.
Kutuo Temple had targeted him multiple times, which was simply outrageous; he, Yi Chengzi, was going to deal with it.
Cultivating people was crucial. After some thought, Yi Chen still chose Kutuo Temple as the lucky one between it and Mount Daguangming.
Leveling up, enhancing battle power, dominating the entire game server, creating the strongest server-wide Martial Alliance—these were Yi Chen's next strategic steps.
He could use Kutuo Temple to help him, Yi Chengzi, deter the world.
Yi Chen was to proclaim to the world.
Don't think that just because you were happy at first, won't be held accountable later.
There was also Chen Haichao from the Controlling Spirit Holy Puppet Sect and Old Deng from the Illumination Organization, both recorded in Yi Chen's little notebook.
"State Preceptor, State Preceptor, I have finally found you," an Aide Officer in red came hurrying on a Cloud Carriage, landing behind Yi Chen, stopping a hundred meters from his back with a letter in hand.
"What is it you seek from this Taoist priest?" Yi Chen slowly turned around, raising an eyebrow.
"State Preceptor, His Majesty said that upon reading this letter, you would understand," the red-clad Aide Officer walked a few steps forward, presenting the meticulously held letter with the bearing of a well-trained core member of the Ministry of Rites.
"Very well, it's also time for this Taoist priest to discuss some important matters with His Majesty."
Before dealing with Kutuo Temple, Yi Chen still needed to notify Ying Si, maintaining the high level of mutual trust between them.
With the organizational efficiency of Great Qin paired with his, Yi Chengzi's, unparalleled martial force, the entire Human Realm would prostrate at their feet.
"However, His Majesty is being quite secretive, what is he seeking this Taoist priest for? To formalize it to the extent of sending a ritual officer."
Upon opening the letter and scanning it briefly, Yi Chen's expression quickly turned odd.
…
…
Deep within a secret cavern, supported by columns of dark metal as a foundation for the sky.
At the center of the cavern, the Green Lotus Earth Core Flame, confined by a formation, burned fiercely, illuminating the cavern in a ghostly blue, also lighting up the figures of the bustling Great Qin cultivators, like ants around it.
Compared to Selena's usage of the Green Lotus Earth Core Flame in the Demon Realm, Yi Chen could clearly feel that Great Qin's application of the flame was by far the superior one.
"Your Majesty, is this the foundation of Great Qin you mentioned in the letter, the Great Five Elements Divine Machine Battle Puppet?"
Yi Chen, looking behind at the giant thing that was only one-third complete and resembled a Gundam, almost had his eyeballs popping out.
The twelve Golden Figures of Great Qin had already broadened his horizons but now this Great Five Elements Divine Machine Battle Puppet, it dropped his jaw.
Damn, Great Qin technology, light years ahead.
Yi Chen gave Ying Si an odd look, feeling that there was something slightly off with the way Great Qin's cultivation skill tree was arranged...
