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 raised her hand and the sword energy disappeared into nothingness, 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 my enemy."
Chu Jingyan stood behind Yun Qingqing and bowed to Xiao Changheng.
Xiao Changheng was silent for a moment, looked down at the waist pendant 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 sword disappeared in a faint light and returned to the waist belt.
Yun Qingqing was somewhat surprised. This person had no sense of spiritual power at all, but his comprehension was extraordinary. He mastered the usage without her explanation and could even exert extremely strong combat power.
She felt relieved and walked out of the yard:
"I still have things to deal with, so I'll be away 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 can protect yourself, you'll be doing me a big favor."
After saying that, she strode away, and Chu Jingyan followed 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 rhythm like breathing, as if it had life.
"...Hao Qing?" He subconsciously called out the name he heard from Yun Qingqing, trying to sense it, but found nothing except that it became a little hot.
Xiao Changheng frowned and looked at it:
"What do you want to tell me?"
Haoqing was still shining faintly as before, but the light gradually became weaker and weaker until it returned to its original state.
Xiao Changheng was silent for a while, then 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 two previous 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 complete 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 work, there's no need to explain them specifically."
In fact, she was also a little surprised.
She had refined that set of magical instruments using the remains of the Demon-Suppressing Tower during her ten days in the Xuanyuan 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 down other mysterious methods, such as formations, demons and ghosts.
But she didn't expect that when the knife was in his hands, it could release spiritual power along with the sword energy, and the power was even higher than she had expected.
This seemed even more strange because it happened to Xiao Changheng, who was completely unable to sense spiritual power.
It’s not that Yun Qingqing doesn’t want to investigate further, but she has no clues and is not in the mood at the moment, so she just leaves it alone for now.
She came to Tianming Pavilion, ready to see if there were any backlogs of matters to deal with, and then refine the willpower 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!"
Yun Qingqing looked at her with a smirk on her face and raised her eyebrows.
"Who are you planning 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:
"Explain 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 more to say.
"So I agreed!" Zhiluo couldn't help laughing again and recounted the story of Xiao Zirui asking to see the head of Tianming Pavilion.
"So I said, when the Pavilion Master comes back, I will summon him if I have time, and tell him to go back and wait for notification~!"
Zhiluo finished speaking excitedly.
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 Crown Prince. He couldn't wait to send someone to ask when he can see the Pavilion Master. Hahaha! He's even thinking of relying on you to make a comeback. It's hilarious!"
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 pending matters.
Her spiritual power and cultivation are now much better than before. She can get the answers to many ordinary people's problems with just a few calculations, and then hand them over to someone else to handle. She almost doesn't need to go out anymore.
She finished her business in less than an hour and began to meditate.
The power of wishes she received today was much more than usual. She knew that this extra power came from the civil and military officials in the court.
The phantom butterfly summoned the phantom of the Heavenly Phoenix, which had an extremely powerful and direct impact on the ministers present. Her name of the Heavenly Phoenix was confirmed on the spot, and coupled with her great contributions to the State of Liang in the past, she immediately gained the support of all the court officials.
These ministers together were related to the national economy and people's livelihood of the entire Liang State. Needless to say, their influence was considerable, and the power of will they brought was also considerable.
Together with the believers of Tianming Pavilion, the eight ghost cities in the underworld, the entire inner gate of the Seven Star Palace, and tens of thousands of soldiers and generals of the Northwest Army, all the wishes came together. 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 willpower. This progress was much faster than she expected, and Yun Qingqing was still 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.
Thinking about this, Yun Qingqing 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 wish power 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 emergence 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 would never be the same as that provided by the ministers. It should be close to the wish power of Xiao Changheng!
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!
