I Have A Martial Dao World-Chapter 510 - : Unexpected Visitor

Chapter 510: Unexpected Visitor

The mighty Da Jin Country at the end of the Ming dynasty collapsed swiftly after the assassination of its Khan, leaving but an insignificant mark in the annals of history.

But after all, it once expanded its influence among the sparse population beyond the Great Wall, managing to deceive quite a number of simple-minded folks.

Na Wei sighed, “My lord, the region beyond the Great Wall has suffered the passage of powerful foreign armies twice, resulting in utter chaos. It is very possible some may take desperate measures that we must guard against!”

Tong Jia also said, “The Izumo People are nothing but beasts! Taking refuge with them is sheer madness.”

Lu Yao didn’t take these clowns seriously and stated decisively, “Don’t worry, I will handle it myself.”

With that assurance from the true lord, Na Wei and his spouse breathed a sigh of relief.

...

Subsequently, Lu Yao asked with a smile, “How have you been these past years? I didn’t expect you to be married.”

Tong Jia answered, “I am from the Goryeo ethnic group in the Yanbian area. When the Izumo in Goryeo forcibly conscripted comfort women, some of my kin crossed the border seeking refuge. I took them in.

Unexpectedly, an expert from Izumo came pursuing them, and what was even more unexpected was… this fellow who always clashed with me actually came to my aid! I was the cause of him losing his sight, so I felt obliged to marry him as compensation.”

Na Wei laughed, “They wouldn’t even spare little girls aged 7 or 8, I just couldn’t stand by and watch.”

At this moment, the two who were once enemies were now holding hands all along, their affection for each other surely deep.

Lu Yao once again marveled at the world’s unpredictability.

Just then, three Spiritual Sparrowhawks flew by at a low altitude.

Tong Jia looked up with an enchanted gaze, “They’ve reached Core Formation? They are so beautiful!”

Lu Yao chuckled, “I should thank you for the Falcon Egg you provided back then, as well as the falconry techniques.”

Na Wei, who was blind, just listened intently, sensing through the vibrations in the air the formidable size of the Spiritual Sparrowhawks, equally astonished:

“Both our families have been Mountain Patrollers for generations, selling Spiritual Beasts from the old forests, yet no one has been able to cultivate a Golden Core Great Demon like the true lord, let alone three at once.”

Tong Jia, unable to take her eyes off the three Spiritual Sparrowhawks, said, “With Spiritual Objects becoming rarer in this world, I’ve never seen a Golden Core Great Demon before.”

Seeing Tong Jia’s fascination, Lu Yao casually called the Spiritual Sparrowhawks down to let her touch them.

Tong Jia was ecstatic, excitedly moving forward to reach out her hand.

The giant birds of prey, each nearly the height of a two-story building, landed with grace, yet their presence up close was formidable.

Tong Jia instinctively trembled but showed a look of deep fascination on her face, gently caressing them as she closed her eyes:

“These spirits of the sky… they are very happy; my lord has taken good care of them.”

Lu Yao laughed, “A friend of mine also likes Spirit Birds, and he told me that all three of these are female.”

“Indeed, in the hawk species it’s the females that are divinely strong and majestic; the males are far inferior.”

“Is that because the females need to defend their nests and offspring?”

“That remains a mystery. Not only are female hawks stronger, they are also more beautiful than the males, boasting even more stunning plumage.”

…

After they exchanged a few words, Na Wei sniffed the moisture in the air to gauge the time and said:

“It’s getting late. My lord is a busy man, so we won’t impose any further.

We have some connections beyond the Great Wall and are willing to serve the Imperial Court when the army marches!”

“That would be excellent,” Lu Yao nodded and then told Ru Yi, “See the guests out and give them a bottle of Elixirs.”

The young girl bowed and then led the guests away.

~~~~~~~~

Following Lu Yao’s instructions, Ru Yi handed them a bottle of the “Ten-Complete Immortal Pill.”

“One must not take this pill until they have achieved Organ Refining; take care with it,” she instructed.

Na Wei, sniffing the Elixirs, said, “You can tell by the scent that it’s potent; certainly not for the use of those with low cultivation.”

After carefully stowing away the Elixirs, Tong Jia, holding his hand, walked down the mountain, feeling some emotion:

“Who would have thought we’d actually meet the true lord… It must be his way of honoring an old connection.”

“The true lord is known for being sentimental. It’s widely known that those who follow him never suffer losses.”

Before long, Er Ya led them to the foot of the mountain.

Tong Jia felt that this pretty young girl was very much favored by the true master, so establishing a good relationship could do no harm. Thus, she said:

“We are grateful for the fairy’s escort. We’ve brought some young spirit pets. Would you like to take one to play with?”

Er Ya, after all, was still young and seemed somewhat tempted upon hearing this.

Tong Jia hurriedly approached the front of the carriage, took out a brocade box and opened it to reveal a spiritual sparrowhawk egg.

“The true master’s reputation has skyrocketed, and accordingly, the value of the sparrowhawks has gone up. I just happen to have an egg of excellent quality.”

She believed that Su Er Ya would certainly like this gift.

However, the young girl showed an unmistakable look of disgust.

Having been bullied since the age of eight, Er Ya despised feathered beasts the most. She had thoughts of plucking their feathers and eating their meat; how could she possibly like them.

This was somewhat beyond Tong Jia’s expectations, but fortunately, during this rare trip to the capital, they had brought other things in the carriage as well.

“I’m not sure what kind of creature the fairy would like, why don’t you choose one yourself.”

The back of the couple’s old carriage had no seats, but was filled with jars and various cages, forming a small pet shop on wheels.

There were not only unopened-eyed wolf cubs but also squirrels, tiger cubs, and others.

These little creatures were exceptionally talented, making them much more likely to become spirit pets than their ordinary counterparts.

Er Ya looked around with interest and suddenly noticed a strange cat staring at her.

It had pale green pupils, a stout and short body covered in spotted fur, looking like a plump tabby cat.

Seeing Er Ya interested, Tong Jia introduced:

“This is a wildcat. Don’t be fooled by its chubby and seemingly clumsy appearance; it is also a wise and fierce predator. Do you like this one, fairy?”

Er Ya gently nodded her head, feeling that this little creature kept watching her with a sense of spirituality.

Tong Jia handed the cage to Er Ya: “If the fairy likes it, please take it. It’s wonderful for easing boredom.”

Since the couple had a connection with the uncle master, there would be future interactions. Er Ya therefore graciously accepted this gift.

But inside the cage, the tabby cat’s eyes revealed a hint of cunning, its half-lipped smirk displaying a look of scorn:

“[Stupid humans.]”

~~~~~~~~

After saying goodbye, Er Ya cheerfully walked up the mountain with the cage in hand.

Arriving at her room, she opened the cage and picked up the tabby cat.

The rich and soft fur was a delight to touch, and the green pupils were beautiful and exquisite.

Er Ya said happily, “From now on, your name is Ali, right~? I’ll go tell uncle master about keeping a pet first~”

The young girl put Ali back into the cage and turned to look for Lu Yao to talk about keeping a pet.

But as soon as she left, Ali stretched out a paw, unhooked the latch of the cage, and elegantly walked out with a poised step.

“[Change of plans! No need to sneak in, I can entirely enter with honor and dignity.]”

“[Next, I need to find the three golden core members of my kind and awaken the memories in their bloodline.]”

“[Three spirit birds, great! After the job’s done, I can just ride them and leave.]”

Ali, with its graceful steps, strutted defiantly around Jing Yi Garden.

Even if seen by someone, there was no cause for concern; what evil could a cat possibly harbor?

Ali was naturally adept at concealment; unless she chose to reveal herself, outsiders couldn’t discern anything at all.

“[Find the three of my kind and take them back. Figure out—how did they achieve core formation in a place where spiritual energy dissipates.]”

“[Oh! Here comes one!]”

Just then, the massive frame of Ru Yi descended from the sky.
