This is a familiar feeling. Fang Jian immediately had a favorable impression of the Lord of Yiji Mansion and immediately bowed in return, saying, "National scholar Hongqing, I pay my respects to the Lord of Yiji Mansion."

Yiji nodded, and then said to Fang Jian: "Master Hongqing, I have received your documents. Now follow me into Mingjie Mansion."

"Yes." Fang Jian replied, then pointed at Yu Censhuang behind him and said, "Palace Master, this is Yu Censhuang, the guardian of Xuanjian Dao State, and he is also my companion."

Yu Censhuang hadn't expected Fang Jian to actually introduce himself. Touched, he immediately bowed and said, "Sir Yu Censhuang, I greet Junior Lord Yiji."

Yiji bowed his head in return with a smile, then said, "Since we are traveling together, let's go to Mingjie Mansion together. I will arrange everything."

Fang Jian hadn't expected the Yiji Mansion Master to be so easy to talk to, so he immediately bowed and said, "Thank you very much, Mansion Master."

Afterwards, Fang Jian and the other person followed Yi Ji into Mingjie Mansion. The architecture of Mingjie Mansion was neither luxurious nor grand, but very simple and plain. The entire Mingjie Mansion was not built like a gorgeous palace, but in a garden style, quiet and clear, giving people the feeling of being in a beautiful water town in the south of the Yangtze River.

Yiji quickly completed all the procedures for Fang Jian, and finally personally took him to where he lived.

"This is Jiaxuyuan." Yiji pointed to a small and elegant courtyard in front of him and said, "Master Hongqing and Master Yuqing will live here."

Fang Jian looked at the quiet courtyard in front of him. Although it was relatively simple, he was very satisfied with it. He really could not appreciate the luxurious and gorgeous palaces elsewhere.

Yiji opened the gate of the courtyard, and the fragrance of flowers and plants immediately hit him in the face. Fang Jian turned his head and saw that there were several fairy flowers growing on both sides of the courtyard, and they were in full bloom at the moment.

"Mr. Hongqing, from now on you can enter and exit Mingjie Mansion at any time with the Mingjie Mansion jade token in your hand, but you cannot leave Yujing City. Remember this." Yiji said to Fang Jian.

Fang Jian nodded, and then Yiji said, "If you have any difficulties in the future, you can come directly to the 'Gaoshui Tower' in the north to find me."

Fang Jian smiled and said, "Okay, thank you for your help, Lord."

Yiji shook his head, hesitating for a moment before speaking to Fang Jian, "By the way, Mr. Hongqing, within Mingjie Mansion, including the area surrounding Jiaxu Courtyard, there are princes from other Dao states living here. You must get along well with them and avoid... creating conflicts."

Fang Jian looked at Yiji's expression and knew that he had something else to say, but he was just not in a position to say it.

So Fang Jian didn't ask any more questions, just nodded and said, "Okay."

Then Yiji left, and Fang Jianze and Yu Censhuang entered Jiaxuyuan and began to settle down.

Jiaxu Courtyard has two parts, one is the main residence and the other is the secondary residence. Fang Jian naturally lived in the main residence, and Yu Censhuang moved into the secondary residence.

After settling everything down, Fang Jian said to Yu Censhuang, "I'm going to go into the house and sit for a while. You can just go do your own thing and don't bother with me."

Yu Censhuang nodded and said, "Yes, sir."

Fang Jian then entered his cloud room, closed the door, sat down cross-legged on the wooden couch, and then summoned out the Hongmeng Editor.

"Master, what's the matter?" asked the editor.

Fang Jian said, "Xiaohong, the title and authority bestowed by the Dao Court's 'Innate Yuanshi Treasure Seal' has the ability to absorb the innate Wuji Realm's Hongmeng Dao Qi. Do you have this ability?"

The editor said, “Of course.”

Fang Jian's eyes lit up, and he immediately asked, "Then how much Dao Qi can you absorb in a day?"

Hongmeng Editor said, "One day? No, I only absorb the Hongmeng Dao Qi from the Xiantian Wuji Realm at specific times."

"Specific time, when?" Fang Jian asked.

The Hongmeng Editor said, "That's not certain. It's like fate. It can only be known when the time comes, and it can't be predicted in advance. Of course, I can absorb Hongmeng Dao Qi every day like the Xiantian Yuanshi Treasure Seal, but now the Xiantian Yuanshi Treasure Seal is suppressing the Dao Qi of the Xiantian Wuji Realm. If I do that, it will be easy to be discovered."

Fang Jian nodded, then took out the Golden Seal of the National Scholar that the Seal Record Pavilion had bestowed upon him. "With this, I can absorb the Ten Dusts Great Power every day. However, even a mosquito is still meat, so having the Ten Dusts every day is better than having none at all."

Hongmeng Editor said: "Master, you have offended Ling Xizi today. She will continue to cause trouble for you."

Fang Jian said calmly, "Let her come. I'll soon let her experience the sufferings of the world. But I'm more interested in the relationship between the Dao Court and these Hongmeng Dao Qi (great trends)."

"Oh?" Hongmeng Editor asked, "Master, what did you find?"

Fang Jian said, "I'm thinking about two things. The Dao Court used the Xiantian Yuanshi Treasure Seal to suppress the great power, and then established seven ranks of nobility to control people's access to the great power. Is this because the great power of the Xiantian Wuji Realm is insufficient? Or do they want to control the great power and authority within the Xiantian Wuji Realm?"

Hongmeng Editor asked, "What do you think, sir?"

Fang Jian said, "I think it's the latter. If the great power was limited and insufficient, it would have been consumed over the years and could not have been sustained for so long. There is only one possibility, and that is that the Dao Court used this method to control the great power of the Xiantian Wuji Realm, and then used it to gain the authority to control the Xiantian Wuji Realm."

Hongmeng Editor said, "Master, you have a keen eye. This is indeed the case. The Dao Court may seem to have established seven ranks to allow people to gain the right to absorb the great power, but in reality, the power to distribute the great power of the entire Xiantian Wuji Realm is firmly in the hands of the Dao Court. It is indestructible and unshakable."
