Wen Zhong was a person with skills. Although his attainment of Primordial Spirit was not as brilliant as the others who had attained the state of heavenly immortals, he was involved in various studies. Just like the Art of Reformation, while others found it difficult to learn, Wen Zhong mastered it within half a day.
After paying ten thousand Xia currency, Wen Zhong was allowed to enter the city. To his surprise, a walking trader was required to pay such hefty tax. In the long run, this might deter people from trading in Diqiu. However, Wen Zhong saw that the city guard was impatient even after receiving his money. They were sneering at him as he walked into the city. In the city, his businessperson attire attracted much attention. Wen Zhong used his supernatural powers to investigate the cause of attention. The truth was that recently the businessmen who came into the city suffered a blow.
Wen Zhong posed as a businessperson because his apprentice was a trader as well. Knowing the cause of attention, he returned to his original attire. However, the black Qilin was still in the form of a dog.
Diqiu, the capital of Xia Kingdom, was the world’s first-class city. As Wen Zhong walked down the streets, he noticed that most of the business was not doing well and it seemed lethargic.
It was not until the edge of the north side of the city that it was suddenly crowded with people. As he approached, he saw the public notice issued by Emperor Xia. It was a recruitment of people with special powers to enter the palace to practice medicine. Once he became successful, he was free to take any items from the Xia Palace or even to request anything from Emperor Xia.
Not only did Diqiu posted this notice, but also the notice would expect to be widely spread around the world. Day or night, rain or shine, this notice must be spread.
Wen Zhong thought to himself, “As my apprentice had the fit of the monarch, the world would eventually belong to him. Nonetheless, Emperor Xia was not a mediocrity. Even though Xia Kingdom is bound to fall, there might be twists of plot. Since Emperor Xia is recruiting people with special powers, I may just take this opportunity to enter the palace, test his fate and lay a trap for the ease of future overthrow.”
Therefore, Wen Zhong walked towards the board and tried to lift the notice. The small commander of the Xia Palace imperial army beside the board placed the notice on the board. Seeing Wen Zhong’s action, he asked, “Are you trying to go for the role?”
Wen Zhong replied, “Yes.”
He seemed like a man with vision and the small commander trembled upon looking at him. Noticing that, Wen Zhong’s expression was calmer and prestige and this caused the small commander to fear him.
However, he wanted to clarify with Wen Zhong, “Are you sure about going for the role? If you cannot diagnose anything, you might lose your life.”
Wen Zhong was an expert in military strategy and literacy. He was also involved in various studies, even medical and astrology. In the event that the person in Xia Palace had any incurable diseases, he was confident that he would still be able to see what was going on. Hence, he was not afraid of lying to the Emperor.
He said, “Rest assured, my practice in medicine is excellent.”
The small commander stopped arguing. He observed that this man was extraordinary. Yet, the reason he voiced his queries was that he was afraid that the man was not up to standard. Subsequently, he might provoke trouble as Emperor Xia made the penalties. Eventually, the small commander had to be held accountable for.
Since he insisted, it was obvious that he was very confident and was not merely fooling around. In addition, as the announcement was posted, it was better to send someone to the palace early. He could then observe the mood of Emperor Xia and share this piece of information with the noblemen, he might be able to make a small fortune by that.
Moreover, he just had a new member in the family. At that time, it was getting harder for the Xia people to reproduce. It was also more difficult because the success of a family would not only depend on the purity of blood, but also the availability of resources and connections. Hence, for the sake of his future generation, the small commander was determined to settle this matter quickly.
With Wen Zhong’s experience, he could distinguish between the good and evil. By the look of the small commander’s roving eyes, he was most likely calculating his gains and losses. Having said so, Wen Zhong had to go to Xia Palace. He said, “You had a knife wound on your back and you had frostbite on your calf when you were young. Every time it rains, your calf must be hurting.”
In shock, the small commander said, “How do you know?”
Wen Zhong grinned but did not speak.
Listening to that divine response, the small commander felt that he gained a treasure. As the Xia Clan runs a unique bloodline, their body structure was different from ordinary people. Even the advanced Daoist cultivators may also not able to see his underlying infection within a glance.
With eager attentive, the small commander brought Wen Zhong and his Qilin-in-disguise black dog, to the palace.
…….
After bringing the Pegasus for a run, Shen Lian returned to Diqiu and landed his cloud at Zhiwei Temple.
Immediately, the door attendant moved forward and took care of the horse. A big black tiger ran towards Shen Lian and complained, “Master.”
Shen Lian squinted at it and asked, “What?”
The big black tiger replied, “In the future, if you were to go out, please ride me. Last night, in your absence, the ugly creature did not help me to catch the lice.”
Speaking of this, the big black tiger really wants to give out a long sigh.
Shen Lian sneered, “If I were to take you out last night, you wouldn’t be able to come back today.” He was not kidding. The big black tiger was not as tough as the Pegasus. Even with the Black Dragon Soul, it was difficult to pass. Therefore, if it managed to pass with the help of Shen Lian, its heart and soul would still be severely injured and subsequently, in the future, he might not be able to progress himself.
Shen Lian felt resentful, as the black tiger did not meet his expectations. After all, it had followed him for many years. Even with stray animals, having spent enough time, feelings could develop. However, the tiger was just lazy and wasted his cultivation.
However, Shen Lian’s mood would be slightly better if the black tiger were to flatter him. The thought of the black tiger’s flatter brought Shen Lian to smile.
When Shen Lian smiled, the black tiger knew that his master was in a good mood. Hence, it energetically shot up and flattered Shen Lian. If Shen Lian was just an average person, he might not be able to understand the black tiger clearly.
Listening to the black tiger’s praises, both of the door attendants laughed. Although they had seen various tiger, leopard and wolf, there were none as this shameless and soft character as the black tiger.
At this moment, there was a far-reaching voice, intercepting the black tiger’s praises. “I am junior, Muzhen, seeking to meet the State Preceptor.”
The black tiger was very unhappy, as it was about to take advantage of its master’s good mood to ask for some treats.
It prepared to roar to scare the person away. The black tiger took a deep breath and opened his mouth.
Suddenly the sound of the Buddhist chants resonated. The voice passed the Xia Canal and entered into the hearts of the people. “Can this young monk seek for the State Preceptor?”
The resonance of the Buddhist chants used the method of Lion Roar from the Buddhist sect. Hence, the voice would not be blocked and would be able to pass to the host clearly. There was also a hidden Buddha’s power which was able to purify one’s mind and soul. As the black tiger was interrupted, it almost blew itself up.
Its demonic power lost control, causing both eyes to turn white.
After seeing its situation, Shen Lian was between laughter and tears.
With a point of a finger, he produced the Qi of essence to calm the black tiger.
