Lingxi is no longer the delicate little girl she once was.
Having honed her skills within the Daqi army, she was already a qualified military commander; otherwise, Qi Shanlin wouldn't have been among the first to send her to the imperial land.
With a deafening roar, the battle outside Star City ended with the annihilation of ten thousand Yunqin Dynasty soldiers. As Lingxi pointed her spear forward, a thousand Daqi soldiers, carrying a heavy aura of killing intent and the stench of blood, returned to Star City.
"Lingxi, a subordinate general of the Daqi Horn Constellation, pays his respects to Your Highness the Crown Prince!"
As Lingxi, clad in full armor, knelt on one knee and struck her chest with her right fist, giving a standard Daqi military salute to Qi Boqi.
"Hmm, did it go smoothly?"
He Boqi waved to help Lingxi up and asked her a question.
"Your Highness, in the initial campaign against the Yunqin Heavenly Dynasty, they underestimated us. However, after we successively annihilated small groups of soldiers, they gradually began to take us seriously. Now they are guarding the passes and rarely send out troops, making it more difficult to train them."
"Today, after we circled around and destroyed the supplies being transported by Yun Qin, we were ambushed. Fortunately, the spiritual senses of the Ye people are strong enough, which allowed us to discover them in advance and kill them."
Lingxi's words were brief, but they accurately conveyed the current situation to Xiaoboqi.
When the Daqi army first appeared, the Yunqin Heavenly Dynasty didn't take them seriously at all. However, after being provoked, the pride of the Heavenly Dynasty's army made them recklessly leave the pass to pursue and kill them.
However, after being successively destroyed, the Yunqin Heavenly Dynasty not only took this suddenly appearing military formation seriously, but also began to ambush Lingxi and others.
Although they could no longer gain the absolute advantage they had at the beginning, the training effect was getting better and better as the Yunqin Heavenly Dynasty took it seriously. The powerful cultivation of the Ye people was gradually becoming more prominent. As time went by, the Ye people's combat awareness and experience were also rapidly increasing.
This is exactly what Ye Boqi wanted to see.
Upon entering the General's Mansion, Lingxi, having removed her helmet, sported a neat short haircut. Her delicate face, though less fair, gained a more resolute look, and the composure in her eyes added a touch of dashing spirit.
Upon seeing Lingxi like this, Xiao Boqi was momentarily at a loss for words.
The reason I came to find Lingxi was to help that bastard Xiaojiu find a cultivation partner, and Lingxi was the only suitable one.
But looking at the refined and dashing Lingxi in front of him, and then thinking about Xiao Jiu's dog shit-like behavior, Xiao Boqi really couldn't open his mouth.
The union of Lingxi and Huangjiu is like a pure white, noble snow lotus from the Tianshan Mountains being stuck in a pile of stinking dog excrement—a blatant waste of talent.
But this is also Lingxi's opportunity. After cultivating the Nine Spirits Opening Heaven Technique, Lingxi's cultivation level will definitely far exceed its current level.
Most importantly, she is a descendant of the Spirit Elder.
"Lingxi, have you ever thought about cultivating the Nine Spirits Opening Heaven Technique?"
After thinking it over, Xiao Boqi decided to sound out Lingxi first, because he really had no choice but to watch Xiao Jiu die because he didn't have a cultivation partner.
"Your Highness, although the Nine Spirits Opening Heaven Technique was obtained by the Ling family patriarch by chance, it did not belong to the Ling family. Now that the Nine Spirits Opening Heaven Technique has been obtained by Mr. Jiu, it is the will of Heaven. Lingxi has no such improper thoughts."
As soon as Lingxi spoke, Xiaoboqi knew what was going on.
The key point is the phrase "Mr. Ninth".
Throughout Daqi, it is estimated that only Lingxi is the only one who calls Ye Jiu this way. Others are either called A Jiu or Ninth Master. In addition, there are legendary stories about Ninth Master that are unique to the people of Daqi.
The large-bottomed female disciples of the Nine Spirits Sect called him Sect Master.
Lingxi was rescued from the slave den by Xiaojiu back then; to be precise, he was Lingxi's savior.
Based on this calculation, the game...
“Ajiu has encountered trouble while cultivating the Nine Spirits Opening Heaven Technique and there is a high possibility that she will perish.”
As soon as Boqi finished speaking, Lingxi stood up from her chair and asked anxiously.
"Why is this the case? Is there any way to remedy it?"
"Yes, actually the Nine Spirits Opening Heaven Technique is a dual cultivation method. The Nine Spirits are actually derived spirits, so it requires a woman with a naturally strong soul to cultivate with."
At this point, Yi Boqi looked up at Lingxi. He thought Lingxi would have other questions to ask, but Lingxi's answer stunned him for a moment.
“Lingxi is willing.”
There was no coyness, no passionate fervor, only a slightly flushed cheek and a resolute look in her eyes.
His directness forced Yi Boqi to abandon his prepared remarks and ask directly.
Have you thought it through?
Lingxi nodded seriously to Xiaoboqi.
“Master Jiu is the person Lingxi admires most besides His Highness. If it weren’t for Master Jiu killing Chu Daoran back then, Lingxi would have no chance to cultivate now, let alone join the Daqi army.”
Things went very smoothly, so smoothly that even Xiao Boqi could hardly believe it.
Watching Lingxi stride away with her helmet tucked under her arm, all Xiaoboqi could do was sigh deeply.
What a tragic fate.
Damn it, the guy who's like a piece of dog shit in my eyes, is actually secretly loved by Lingxi as a real man.
Can you believe it?
She was being polite, placing herself before Xi Jiu among the people she admired most, but it's likely that Xi Jiu was the only person she truly admired in her heart.
Sigh, it seems that Daqi's old saying is true: even beautiful flowers need manure to thrive.
However, this also solved his biggest worry. According to Bai Qian, after the initial four spirits were condensed, the power of the five spirits in the Nine Spirits Opening Heaven Technique no longer needed to obtain the inner cores of divine beasts.
Instead, it can be obtained through essence and blood.
However, essence blood is extremely important to ancient alien species. It takes countless years to condense each drop of essence blood. But the only ancient alien species I know of right now are that annoying phoenix and... that fire unicorn of the Dao Sect.
The essence of the phoenix is easy to obtain; just catch it and collect it directly. If it disagrees, just kill it. I've wanted to slap that thing to death for a long time anyway.
The essence blood of the Fire Qilin isn't hard to come by; you should be able to get it by asking your wife to go over there.
But that's only two; there are still three missing.
Huh?! After Xiao Jin transformed into a true dragon, it has become an existence that surpasses the Azure Dragon, which is one possibility.
And Bai Qian too!
The Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox is a level higher than the Vermilion Bird and Black Tortoise, so there is still one missing, but this last one is what troubles Ye Boqi.
Ancient species were already rare, and with the passage of time they have almost become extinct, and there is no useful information about them in the ancient texts.
Just as Ye Boqi was struggling with the last type of alien blood essence, his eyes suddenly narrowed and he looked towards the entrance of the hall.
There, a slender and tall figure stood quietly.
Dressed in a simple, unadorned dress, her stunning beauty was still undeniable, especially the gentle and serene aura emanating from her figure, which made her even more beautiful.
Qinghe!
"I never imagined that Your Highness would one day act as a matchmaker."
As she spoke, Qinghe, who was covering her face and smiling, slowly came to stand in front of Yiboqi and bowed.
"Your Highness, I am your maid Qinghe."
