Chapter 16: Ying Zheng: Immortal magic is useful, I want it too
The convoy moved slowly on the official road to the East China Sea.
A six-horse carriage in the convoy was particularly conspicuous, arrogantly announcing to everyone who saw it: His Majesty the Emperor of Qin is here.
This would never have happened before.
Ever since Qin unified the six kingdoms, assassination attempts against Ying Zheng had been endless. He had long been accustomed to preparing multiple carriages to confuse observers. This time, driving only one carriage was a little unusual.
He lifted the curtain and reached out, but encountered an obstacle about an foot away. A transparent barrier blocked his movement.
It was the immortal barrier set up before the immortal got on the car.
Ying Zheng rarely felt playful about this unknown thing, which was a magic spell related to immortals. He poked and touched it from time to time. Although it was an invisible and boring game, it made him very interested.
Wei Shengxue was sitting opposite, concentrating on carving a piece of white jade. The debris was like snow flakes, scattered all over the area. Countless lines that were almost invisible to the naked eye were spread all over it, linking together to form a nested formation.
Once again sensing the touch of her skin from the outward consciousness, she had to stop and speak a reminder:
"Fellow Daoist, the barrier is attached with divine consciousness. Everything that touches the barrier can be clearly sensed by me."
——So, stop touching it!
Ying Zheng's fingers, which were half-extended, froze, and he slowly, slowly retracted them into his sleeves.
"Ahem," he coughed lightly and changed the subject abruptly, "Is your stuff ready, fellow Daoist?"
"Just a few strokes left." Wei Shengxue continued to draw with the carving knife.
After a moment, she put down the carving knife, and a line of green light condensed from her fingertips. Ying Zheng looked at it and found that it was very similar to the green light that lingered around her when they first met.
The green light weaves the warp and weft on the jade like silk threads, and in the blink of an eye, it dyes the white jade into deep and light emerald green.
Wei Shengxue used his spiritual power to hold up the jade stone, and quickly made hand gestures with his ten fingers and penetrated into it.
With a sound of "Congeal!", all the emerald green on the jade quickly faded, or to be more precise, shrank inward, like dye seeping into cloth, ink dissolving into clear water, outlining vigorous, dignified, ancient and complex lines inside the jade.
Ying Zheng's eyes flickered and he felt happy.
Complex lines form only one word:
Politics.
This was made for him by the immortal!
Ying Zheng lowered his head and fiddled with the jade disk at his waist. It was engraved with the black bird, the religion of the Qin State, and decorated with patterns exclusive to the emperor. It was a symbol of the emperor's status.
——The jade disk is precious, but compared to the gift from the immortal, it is just something that can be thrown away.
I'll change it later!
The waiting time is always torturous. Ying Zheng picked up the water cup and took a few sips with a little anxiety, trying hard to suppress his restless thoughts.
It had been a long time since he had looked forward to a gift so simply.
Yes, a gift.
It was not a tribute or a trophy, but a gift.
Wei Shengxue cast the last spell, and the jade stone withdrew all its brilliance, leaving only the words flowing inside, like flowing water, and like condensed light. It was obvious at a glance that it was not ordinary.
"alright."
She casually hung up the pendant and silk ribbon removed from the system costume to form a complete waist pendant.
"Although I don't know why you can't normally use that powerful force that changes the color of the world, but when the strong lose their power, their enemies will come to find them. I'm not good at refining weapons, so I will make you a jade pendant for self-defense."
Wei Shengxue looked into his eyes and sincerely wished him well: "I hope you won't be beaten to death by your enemies. Even if your body is gone after death, you can still leave behind a remnant soul."
Ying Zheng: ...
The immortal's blessing was indeed extraordinary, but it was unnecessary. He didn't want to die, and he didn't want to die without a burial place and his soul would be scattered.
Ignoring this little episode, Ying Zheng did not hide his joy at all when he took the jade pendant. Smiles appeared at the corners of his eyes and eyebrows, making his already outstanding eyebrows even more charming.
It looks really good.
Wei Shengxue held his chin and admired the beauty openly.
[Click, click...] The sound of cameras shooting is endless.
[Host, I have taken screenshots of every frame.]
Wei Shengxue's spiritual consciousness turned into a hand, and he rubbed the system's small light ball several times.
'My baby, you are really my sweet little baby!'
After staring for a long time, Ying Zheng had to remind him: "Daoyou has been looking at me, is there something wrong with me?"
"No, it's you who looks good!" Wei Shengxue blurted out.
Zhao Gao, who was driving outside, trembled with the whip in his hand and almost hit the other horse.
His Majesty is most averse to people talking about his appearance which resembles his mother. The last person who dared to praise his appearance would have grass several feet high on his grave.
But unlike the anger Zhao Gao had imagined, the emperor simply shook his head and smiled, correcting, "My friend, men should be praised for their valor, not their good looks."
Wei Shengxue carefully examined the face in front of her. The facial lines were soft, even beautiful. Just one glance reminded her of the misty rain, but those eyes were as deep as the abyss, bringing the wind and snow of Qin to break through the mist, turning all the beauty into an arrogance that overwhelmed the world.
Take another look!
Ying Zheng had no choice but to change the subject again. It was rare in his life for him to change the subject so abruptly.
"How long can this jade pendant protect me?"
Weapons will decay after a long time, will magic weapons also expire?
"Five times. You can block my full-strength attack five times."
"It's a pity that you can't use spiritual power now, otherwise I would just make you a spiritual power-driven magic weapon, which is much better than this consumable item."
The immortal's five attacks.
That's enough.
Ying Zheng raised the corners of his mouth and thought to himself: Let's see which assassin can kill him in the future!
Wei Shengxue flicked her sleeves, gathered the dust in the table and threw it out of the window, then cast two cleaning spells before pushing the clean and warm jade pieces over.
"The snowflake salt they made still has a bitter taste, which I don't like. These jade pieces are engraved with a formation to remove impurities, so let them add another process."
Ying Zheng put away the jade piece and took note of this.
He knocked on the car board beneath him and said, "Before we set off, you drew a formation to avoid vibrations."
"That's not the case," Wei Shengxue shook her head and gestured with her fingers, "I simply drew twenty light body talismans and eight suspended talismans."
Ying Zheng widened his eyes slightly.
"Now this carriage appears to be running on the ground, but it is actually suspended in the air, so of course there will be no bumps."
Wei Shengxue was excited and pulled him to continue balabala...
"You know flying boats, right? They're those magical flying vehicles that can carry people through the sky. Small ones can carry one or two people, while large ones can carry tens of thousands. They're similar to the spaceships in my hometown, but one uses energy blocks and the other uses spirit stones."
"I can't afford a spaceship, but I can dream of a flying boat. Then I can travel all over the world of immortal cultivation on it!" Wei Shengxue fantasized about the future with longing.
Ying Zheng's ears moved and he accurately captured the key words.
Accommodate tens of thousands of people!
Fly in the sky!
Isn’t this the divine weapon he has always dreamed of?
Then his eyes also became fiery.
want to!
