Chapter 417 The Quality of Willpower
Yun Qingqing quickly flashed in front of Chu Jingyan and raised her hand to wave gently.
When Xiao Changheng saw her suddenly appear, his pupils shrank, but he saw that she just raised her hand and the sword energy disappeared into thin air, and everything returned to silence.
Yun Qingqing nodded with satisfaction:
"It seems that you are very good at using this set of things, that's good. With these, even a Xuanmen person of Cang Huai's level can't do anything to you."
Xiao Changheng understood, slowly tightened his hand holding the knife, and lowered his eyes to hide the emotions in his eyes.
"Why is he here?" he asked calmly.
Yun Qingqing glanced at Chu Jingyan.
"Oh, he works for me now, he's not an enemy."
Chu Jingyan stood behind Yun Qingqing and bowed to Xiao Changheng.
Xiao Changheng was silent for a moment, looked down at the waist belt in his hand, and tried to retract the knife and light armor.
He could still feel that connection, and with a thought, the light armor and the sword disappeared in a faint light and returned to the waist belt.
Yun Qingqing was somewhat surprised. This man had no sense of spiritual power at all, but his comprehension was extraordinary. He had mastered the usage without her explanation and was able to exert extremely strong combat effectiveness.
She felt relieved and walked out of the yard:
"I still have things to deal with, so I will be away from home for a few days. If you need anything, you can go to Tianming Pavilion and ask Zhiluo for help."
As she spoke, she had already reached the gate of the courtyard.
"Yun Qingqing."
Suddenly, a man's deep voice came from behind.
Yun Qingqing paused, frowned and didn't look back:
"Anything else?"
Xiao Changheng's voice sounded behind him:
"Thank you very much."
"...Oh." Yun Qingqing pinched her fingers subconsciously and said calmly, "You're welcome. If you protect yourself, you'll be doing me a big favor."
After saying that, she strode away, and Chu Jingyan followed behind her.
Xiao Changheng watched the two people leave with complicated eyes, and suddenly felt a heat on his right wrist.
He raised his hand and opened his sleeve, only to see the jade-white bracelet on his wrist emitting a faint glow with a breathing-like rhythm, as if it had life.
"...Hao Qing?" He subconsciously called out the name he heard from Yun Qingqing, trying to sense it, but apart from feeling that it became a little hot, he found nothing.
Xiao Changheng frowned and looked at it:
"What do you want to tell me?"
Hao Qing was still glowing as before, but the light gradually grew weaker and weaker until it returned to its original state.
Xiao Changheng was silent for a while, then he sighed softly:
"Why... did you choose me?"
It remained quietly as it was, without any further reaction.
…
Yun Qingqing left the palace and walked directly towards Tianming Pavilion.
Chu Jingyan followed her silently all the way, and suddenly said:
"Pavilion Master, did you inject your own spiritual power into that set of magical instruments?"
Yun Qingqing nodded.
"Then why didn't you tell him?" Chu Jingyan recalled the previous two slashes and the powerful spiritual power wrapped in the sword energy, and was secretly shocked.
If such spiritual power can be unleashed just by slashing, the spiritual power contained in the magic weapon will be even more astonishing.
Chu Jingyan was very clear about the enormous amount of resources and effort consumed in refining such a set of magical instruments, but why did the Pavilion Master not mention a word about it?
Yun Qingqing had no expression and said calmly:
"He has no idea about these things. As long as they can be used, there is no need to explain them specifically."
In fact, she was also a little surprised.
That set of magical instruments was refined by her during the ten days in Xuanyuan Tower using the remains of the Demon-Suppressing Tower.
She injected nearly half of her spiritual power into the magic weapon, and the knife could indeed allow Xiao Changheng to use it to cut off other mysterious means, such as formations, demons and ghosts.
But she didn't expect that when the knife was in his hands, it could also release spiritual power along with the sword energy, and the power was even higher than she had expected.
This seemed even more strange when it happened to Xiao Changheng, who was completely unable to sense spiritual power.
It’s not that Yun Qingqing didn’t want to investigate further, but she had no clues and was not in the mood for it at the moment, so she just left it alone for now.
She came to Tianming Pavilion, ready to see if there were any backlogs of matters to be dealt with, and then refine the power of vows she had accumulated today, so that she could travel light tomorrow and go to Tianxuan Sect with Qingpingzi.
When Zhiluo saw her, she came up to her with a smile:
"Oh, there's something I haven't had time to tell you yet!"
Yun Qingqing looked at her with a smirk on her face and raised her eyebrows.
"Who are you going to deal with now?"
Zhiluo grinned and laughed even more happily:
"It's not me who's dealing with anyone, it's you."
Yun Qingqing blinked:
"Speak clearly."
"The last time you went to Nanyu, the prince came to ask to see Master Qingyun." Zhiluo put away her smile and looked at her seriously.
"...So what?" Yun Qingqing knew at a glance that she had something else to say.
"So I agreed!" Zhiluo couldn't help laughing again and recounted the story of Xiao Zirui asking to see the Pavilion Master of Tianming Pavilion.
"So I said, when the Pavilion Master comes back, I will summon him if I am free, and tell him to go back and wait for notification~!"
Zhiluo finished speaking with excitement.
Yun Qingqing finally understood and laughed:
"I think you just want to watch the fun and don't mind making trouble."
"Hahahaha, I really want to see this excitement, especially since he just got deposed as the Crown Prince. He just now couldn't wait to send someone to ask when he can meet the Pavilion Master. Hahaha! He's still thinking of relying on you to make a comeback. It's so funny!"
Yun Qingqing shook her head speechlessly:
"Then let him wait. I don't have time to deal with him right now. I have a lot of things to do."
She sat down at her desk and quickly dealt with a few backlogged matters.
Her spiritual power and cultivation are now much better than before. She can get the answers to many things that ordinary people have to do with just a few calculations, and then hand them over to someone to handle. She almost never needs to go out again.
She finished her business in less than an hour and began to meditate.
The wish power she gained today was much more than usual, and she knew that this extra part came from the civil and military officials in the court.
The virtual butterfly summoned the phantom of the Heavenly Phoenix, which had an extremely powerful and direct impact on the ministers present. Her name of Heavenly Phoenix was confirmed on the spot, and coupled with the great contributions she had made to the State of Liang in the past, she immediately gained the support of all the court officials.
These ministers together are related to the national economy and people's livelihood of the entire Liang State. Needless to say, their influence is self-evident, and the power of wishes they bring is also considerable.
Together with the believers of Tianming Pavilion, the eight ghost towns in the underworld, the entire inner gate of the Seven Stars Palace, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the Northwest Army, all the wishes were gathered together, and by the time Yun Qingqing had refined everything, the Qi Sea was almost full.
Despite all the recent accidents and incidents, she actually gained a lot of power. The progress was much faster than she expected, and Yun Qingqing was very satisfied.
She sensed the sea of qi filled with spiritual energy and had a plan in mind. For the next period of time, she would not refine her willpower anymore. She would wait until she had accumulated enough willpower and then refine it all in one go, break through the barrier and enter the next realm.
When Yun Qingqing thought about this, she was suddenly stunned.
She remembered that the last time she refined her body, she used the willpower provided by Xiao Changheng, which was qualitatively different from that of ordinary people.
The same is true for the next step, either you win by quantity, or you gain the willpower to make a "qualitative leap" and achieve it in one step.
Thinking of the power of wish provided by Xiao Changheng, Yun Qingqing suddenly frowned. She always felt that something was wrong, a strange sense of incongruity.
After a moment, a light bulb went off in her head and she understood.
It’s a question of the quality of your vows!
Today, those present to witness the birth of this Heavenly Phoenix included not only the civil and military officials in the court.
And the Emperor!
As the Son of Heaven, if the emperor also provided wish power, its quality could never be the same as that provided by the ministers. It should be close to the wish power that Xiao Changheng had made back then!
If this is true, I will definitely not ignore this part of my wish.
In other words, the wishes he received today did not include the Emperor’s!
