High Martial World: I Gain Passive Skills Daily-Chapter 206 - 31: Brotherly Harmony, Fatherly Kindness and Filial Piety (Double - )_2
If anyone knows where Su Yu has hidden the Elixir of Longevity, it must be this Daoist.
And they all know that the Elixir of Longevity is never just a simple elixir...
Materials from this world cannot create something that virtually transcends the rules of the Celestial Dao!
And if the person possessing the Elixir of Longevity is Chen Kuang, his resurrection would not be surprising!
Wen Chi connected this Daoist’s previous instructions and immediately understood:
"You asked me to give that Glazed Shadow Lamp to Liu Qingcheng because it can track down Chen Kuang?" 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦
Jiang Wuya scratched for a long time, sniffed the smell on his fingers, and said blissfully, "The Prince is truly clever, finally learning to analyze. Congratulations, truly."
"That Chen Kuang is most likely in the enchanting room of Miss Liu right now~"
Wen Chi had no time to heed Jiang Wuya’s mocking tone and immediately summoned his subordinates, bellowing:
"Prepare the horses, I need to visit the Grand Ancestral Temple."
His subordinates paused, "Shall we inform Your Majesty..."
The Grand Ancestral Temple of the Yang Kingdom is located in Rui’an State, quite a distance from Zangfeng State.
Usually, King Jingnan needs to report in advance before entering Rui’an State, especially when visiting the Grand Ancestral Temple.
Though the Emperor officially claims it’s to prepare a thorough welcome for his brother,
in reality, everyone knows it’s to keep King Jingnan under surveillance, even if he’s now old and indulging in frivolity, the Emperor’s vigilance remains.
Wen Chi paused and said sternly, "No need."
"I’m just going to visit Granny Wang Shu, no need to disturb His Majesty."
His subordinates immediately knelt in obedience and hurriedly left.
But as they walked away, their backs were drenched in cold sweat.
The person known as "Wang Shu" is actually Wang Shu Yuanjun, the Female Saint of the Yang Kingdom!
It’s said this Female Saint was once a consort of the founding monarch of the Yang Kingdom, seeking the Dao to sainthood, yet cherishing old ties, has resided in the Grand Ancestral Temple, watching over the king’s tomb.
Now, Wen Chi not only intends to enter Rui’an State without reporting but also to visit Wang Shu Yuanjun at the Grand Ancestral Temple...
The implications are self-evident!
Wen Chi watched the person leave, exhaled deeply, and spoke again.
"Tong Shi, Han Mountain."
"Yes!" "Yes!"
Two figures appeared nearby, respectfully kneeling before Wen Chi.
These two individuals are Grandmaster cultivators.
However, their eyes were covered in a layer of white haze, and their ears had been cut off, filled with two warm jade pieces.
Indicating they are high-level Death Warriors specially trained.
Unable to hear, unable to see, all to ensure maximum secrecy, like court musicians must be blind, but even more brutal.
This means, despite their high cultivation levels, they can enjoy none of the pleasures it brings, serving only as tools, just like a knife.
While Wen Chi talked to Jiang Wuya, these two had been there, constantly vigilant for any unusual behavior from Jiang Wuya.
Though when they first caught Jiang Wuya, Wen Chi was shocked to discover that this Daoist, once revered as a National Preceptor by Su Yu, had no cultivation whatsoever...
This is an exceptionally unusual matter.
Even if he’s a fraud, he shouldn’t be just an ordinary person.
Otherwise, he couldn’t have held the position of National Preceptor for so many years, much less be linked to the Elixir of Longevity!
But after countless tests these past two months, Wen Chi proved that Jiang Wuya is indeed just an ordinary man.
Wen Chi found it hard to believe but couldn’t go as far as to kill Jiang Wuya for verification.
Thus, he could only comply with Jiang Wuya’s sole request and gave the Glazed Shadow Lamp to Liu Qingcheng.
Unexpectedly, it indeed yielded unexpected results.
Wen Chi used the special Qiankun Art of Divination to communicate through the two pieces of warm jade with the Death Warriors, saying:
"You two, head immediately to Xuni Pavilion, block it entirely, and ask Liu Qingcheng to return the Glazed Shadow Lamp. If she cannot, invite her to the Prince’s Mansion."
"If anyone obstructs, kill without mercy, remember, your only goal is..."
The two Death Warriors left, and Wen Chi glanced at Jiang Wuya before hurriedly departing.
In the backyard, only Jiang Wuya remained.
After a while, he finally stopped picking his toes, looked up, and exclaimed gloomily:
"I’ve long grown tired of this Prince’s Mansion. It seems I can soon depart."
...
Chen Kuang entered a branch of the Wanlin Commerce Association.
He changed his attire, adding a black cloak—known as the standard for mysterious figures.
The Wanlin Commerce Association ranks among the top three cultivator commerce associations in Cangyuan, recently rising rapidly in the Canglang Rankings due to Lin Er You’s emergence, boosting the association’s status significantly.
Though in heritage, it still lags behind the other two giants.
However, due to the craftsmen’s exquisite skills in forging spiritual treasures, it still dominates a significant market share, with an increasingly solid status.
Thanks to his passive abilities, when Chen Kuang walked into the association, no one noticed.
Or rather, even if they did notice, they didn’t care.
Despite standing out in broad daylight in such attire, Chen Kuang blended in like a drop in the ocean, causing no ripples.
This branch of Wanlin Commerce Association is vast, essentially like a club, accommodating traveling merchants for rest or other services.
The first three floors sell spiritual treasures and showcase transactions.
The upper two floors are guest rooms and halls for meetings.
Chen Kuang boldly strolled into the upper guest hall of the branch, where the association president, Chang Zhen, was engrossed in discussing a spiritual treasure’s future with someone.
Chen Kuang waited in the corner, watching until Chang Zhen made a decision and escorted the association’s elder discussing with him out.
Chang Zhen sighed in relief, preparing to sit down for a rest.
His peripheral vision suddenly caught a black figure in the corner.
Chang Zhen’s body jolted.
His face turned pale, pupils constricted, he immediately backed up two steps, forcibly calmed himself, and asked softly:
"May I ask who you are, visiting our Wanlin Commerce Association with what purpose?"
Chang Zhen, being a businessman, quickly realized the individual was formidable; his instinctive response was to act humble, giving the person face, while subtly reminding them not to cause trouble in Wanlin Commerce Association.
Dialogue seemed more promising than expected...
Chen Kuang said, "I am no saint, you can call me White Dragon True Monarch."
The cloaked person’s voice was very unfamiliar, not resembling any enemy of Chang Zhen’s imagination.
The person’s demeanor suggested they weren’t seeking revenge or causing trouble.
In fact... they seemed rather amicable.
Chang Zhen felt slightly relieved but remained vigilant.
Those esteemed figures often hide their emotions; they could be friendly now, and deadly the next moment.
Having encountered various customers over the years, even highly cultivated ones, his rich experience made him extremely cautious.
"Elder Bailong... Is there negligence on our part at Wanlin Commerce Association? We promise to immediately rectify any wrongs!"
Chen Kuang shook his head, "It’s not Wanlin Commerce Association."
Chang Zhen hesitated, "Then your purpose here is..."
Chen Kuang raised his hand, displaying a jade pendant.
Chang Zhen was stunned again, instantly recognizing the jade pendant!
In these years, Wanlin Commerce Association issued only a dozen of such pendants, whoever possessed it was a distinguished guest of the association.
Chang Zhen immediately put on a brilliant business smile, "Oh, you are our esteemed guest, do you fancy any spiritual treasure? I’ll get it for you at once!"
Chen Kuang sighed, "I meant to say, the one who offended me isn’t the Wanlin Commerce Association..."
He lifted his gaze, "It’s your son."
Chang Zhen’s smile froze instantly.
Yet his expression stiffened only for a moment; then, he promptly decided, "I will immediately seize Chang Yao, let him apologize! Whatever punishment you see fit, I have no resentment!"
