The Immortal Seeker: Legend of Bronze Mirror-Chapter 424 - 185 Sword Hero in Shu, Luo Tian Grand Ceremony (Please Subscribe)_2

For many years, he’s been able to become a Great Hero, and certainly, his father-in-law’s financial support played a part.

Wandering through the north and south, he indeed made quite a few connections in the underworld, but as for renowned figures on the White Path, he knew pitifully few. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

This time his visit to Dragon Tiger Mountain, aside from the invitation from the Heavenly Master Mansion, was also to seek the help of the Old Heavenly Master’s influence.

But after the visit, he realized that the Heavenly Master Mansion seemed unable to help after all.

Feeling dejected, he went to Elephant Trunk Cliff to practice his swordsmanship and unexpectedly encountered Xu Gongming.

Nowadays, Xu Qing’s reputation in the worldly society is not small at all.

Everyone refers to him as the timely rain Xu Gongming. Feng Qintian, hearing the name Xu Qing for the first time, did not register it immediately.

The matter he sought help for was actually related to his own daughter.

For Xu Qing, Feng Qintian’s issue was not troublesome, yet he did not make any promises. He asked, "Brother Feng, your daughter is only twelve years old, indeed too young to be a Court Lady. Is there some kind of connection inside?"

By the ancestral law of this dynasty, the Grand Ancestor decreed that Court Ladies must be at least fifteen years old.

However, the old emperor had a penchant for breaking ancestral rules, so he changed the requirement to eleven years old for being a Court Lady.

This illustrates his personal preference for young Court Ladies.

But in recent years, due to an uprising started by a Palace Maid, the rule was changed again to thirteen years old.

The argument at the time was that young women entering the palace were easily led astray and unknowledgeable of proprieties.

Feng Qintian said, "My father-in-law has also inquired about this, unable to find any connections. Some say that this matter leads directly to the Ministry of Rites, I’m just desperately seeking a solution everywhere..."

Beside him, Yu Xuan was silent.

Xu Qing thought to himself, this Old Feng can be quite insensitive when speaking.

But Xu Qing had a liking for capable people.

Reading strange books, meeting odd people, and carrying out extraordinary deeds.

As long as one is capable, shortcomings can be tolerated.

Those who know how to conduct themselves but are incompetent, to him, are currently of little significance.

Xu Qing consoled, "Brother Feng, you can rest assured now that the matter is with me. Even if I can’t manage it, I will think of other ways to help you."

Feng Qintian said, "Everyone in the worldly society says that Xu Jieyuan is a man of his word. The Island Master of East Island, this newly emerged Grandmaster, is also your sworn brother..."

Xu Qing was speechless...

Fortunately, this was not the Officials’ place, otherwise, Xu Qing wouldn’t be able to clear things up.

But the more Feng Qintian behaved this way, the more Xu Qing felt this man could be of use.

In any case, it was worth a try.

Xu Qing then wrote a letter to Mr. Liang.

Mr. Liang also had connections with Mr. Wu, who since his promotion to the Deputy Imperial Censor at the Inspection Bureau, had established true personal relations with Mr. Liang.

Occasionally, they would inspect the public morale together in the flower fields of the Capital.

As Mr. Liang was the Minister of Rites, he naturally had significant clout in the selection of Court Ladies.

Knowing the connection Xu Qing sought, Feng Qintian was even more grateful.

Xu Qing took the opportunity to chat casually with Feng Qintian.

He had traveled far and wide, even slain demons, and been to many rarely traversed places.

Xu Qing found it interesting to listen.

He inquired about Shu Mountain Swordsmen, wanting to know if there was one named Yan Chixia, or if he had heard of Nie Xiaoqian.

Unfortunately, Feng Qintian hadn’t heard of them.

On the other side, Yu Xuan, a clever Daoist, hinted to Feng Qintian how to repay Xu Qing.

Xu Qing couldn’t say such things outright, to avoid losing face and ruining his character.

Xu Qing thought that Yu Xuan was a crafty Daoist who could be worth befriending in the future.

Moreover, he found out that the great ritual at East Mountain Province was missing many important figures and eminent scholars due to chaos, so Xu Qing stood out among the mountain guests.

And among these spectators, there were no shortage of extraordinary figures from the worldly society.

The grand ritual would continue until after the Double Ninth Festival.

During his cultivation on Dragon Tiger Mountain, Xu Qing could also familiarize himself with these remarkable figures.

It’s not to say they must serve his purpose, but a familiar face can be useful.

In the worldly society, there’s always a time when others are needed.

Xu Qing brought a considerable amount of Silver on this trip.

His liberal spending did indeed produce some effects; thus, he also gained the nickname "Jade-Faced Lord of Feasting."

The character was right, but the problem was that this nickname belonged to Song Qingshu in the novel, and in the most widely circulated triple-series edition, Song Qingshu was slapped to death by Old Daoist Zhang.

Xu Qing thought to himself, it was lucky that he hadn’t told Feng Wu any stories from "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber," otherwise he would be a laughingstock when he returned.

Things really were different since he got married. When Xu Qing left Jiangning Prefecture, he felt everything was fresh; now he was starting to miss Feng Wu.

Thankfully, the grand ritual proceeded very smoothly.

All these were the Heavenly Master Mansion’s practiced processes, and if it weren’t for the Old Heavenly Master’s advanced age and insufficient Qi-Blood, there’d be no need for Xu Qing’s assistance.

The entire grand ritual was essentially a process of conducting the ritual.

Xu Qing watched carefully from the side. The whole Dragon Tiger Mountain was part of the grand ritual’s setup, a Daoist law left behind by Heavenly Master Zhang Daoling.

The capabilities of the predecessors impressed Xu Qing throughout the ritual.

"If there were no Daoist Law of Nature and the Realm of Unity of Heaven and Man, it would be impossible to use mountains and rivers as the foundation for such an Array," Xu Qing thought with admiration.

The entire Dragon Tiger Mountain was a Demon Suppression Formation laid down by Heavenly Master Zhang.

However, with time passing and the world changing, it was inevitable that the Array would become distorted, leading to looseness in the seals.

In such times, the succeeding generations need to remedy the situation.

This time, Xu Qing was merely there to stimulate the Qi-Blood of the Golden Light Spell, use the Qi energy to invoke Heavenly Thunder, hardly the main character.

The Old Heavenly Master was truly remarkable.

Xu Qing witnessed the Old Daoist using his flesh to catch the Heavenly Connection Thunder, guiding the Heavenly Thunder’s demon-suppressing power to repair the Array’s flaws, and infusing it into the Alchemy Well, the Array’s focal point.

This was sufficient to show just how tough the old Daoist’s physique was.
