How Many Storms Before the True Dragon Roars

The fastest update to Seeking the Dao in the Mortal World!

In the end, the Mahjong was played by three women and a ghost. Qin Yi, who had just broken through to Huiyang and was acting all high and mighty, ran up and down serving tea and water, and then squatted down next to Liusu with his hands in his pockets to watch.

Qin Yi felt that this Qin family Mahjong perfectly matched the style of the Land of Chaos.

He was certain that everyone's Divine Sense could easily see the other player and all the tiles underneath. This Mahjong was essentially an open game, yet everyone pretended not to know. They would take a tile and pretend to fiddle with it for ages before flipping it over with a "smack": "Two of Bamboo!"

Qin Yi thought this family all had the Two of Bamboo.

Including myself.

But this is quite a subtle matter. Card games are a general term, so why does playing Go and casually tapping the Mahjong seem so ethereal, while playing mahjong with all its clattering sounds seems so vulgar?

It seems we can try promoting Mahjong to the Ten Thousand Dao Immortal Palace in the future. Du Pingsheng and the others will definitely like it. Maybe in the future, in addition to the chess fanatic, there will be another mahjong master or something, which can be considered a contribution to the Immortal Palace.

Li Qingjun held a Two of Ten Thousands in her hand, and unconsciously rubbed it together, forcibly removing a horizontal line, so that the Two of Ten Thousands became 10,000.

"I'm ready to win!"

Ju Yunxiu took One of Strings and rubbed it for a while until the bird disappeared and turned into a pancake.

"Self-draw!"

Qing Cha was dumbfounded. "How did you guys get here so fast?"

Liusu: "You forced me to do this..."

So in the next round, Liusu used her divine sense to move the bottom cards, giving herself Heavenly Hand that was far superior to the other two who changed their cards.

Ju Yunxiu and Li Qingjun were not oblivious to the situation, and attempted to disrupt it with their divine sense, but it was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot.

"You won, great job." Both of them were completely convinced.

Liusu laughed heartily, hands on her hips.

Qin Yi: "..."

What's the point of playing Mahjong like this? It's destined to be a short game. You might as well play Dou Fight the Landlord (a popular Chinese card game) with your cards exposed.

It turns out they never intended to play for long; it was just an occasional pastime to relax and have some fun.

For Ju Yunxiu, nothing to do is better than sleep. For Li Qingjun, resting and reading about cultivation knowledge is much more interesting than playing cards. It's like swimming in the ocean, with something new every moment.

In fact, Li Qingjun was the first person to want to seek immortality... It seems that her seclusion in recent years has finally fulfilled her earliest dream.

It can be said that Li Qingjun is the person who has gained the most and is in the best mood in the past few years.

"That's all for now, I should go into seclusion to make my final breakthrough to the Qian Yuan realm."

"Hmm, I'm going to go back and read the detailed explanations of the formations, they're quite interesting..."

So the two women stretched and left. The only one who really wanted to play cards was Qing Cha, who watched the adults leave after they had finished playing, clutching the Two of Bamboo in her hand, reluctant to put it down.

"Come here, Little Qing Cha, I'll play with you." Liusu floated over and sat down in front of Qing Cha: "Let's play that one-on-ten game we were playing earlier."

Qing Cha was overjoyed. "Little Ghost is the best!"

Liusu said, "But we need to bet something on whether we win or lose, otherwise it won't be fun."

"That makes sense," Qing Cha hesitated. "Then what should we bet on?"

"Learn to bark like a dog."

"Okay, okay."

Qin Yi once again confirmed that the idiots in the Land of Chaos were of the same ilk as his own group.

How could Qing Cha possibly compete with Liusu...?

Qin Yi seemed to see a tragedy unfolding before his eyes. He sighed helplessly, cupped his hands, and shook his head as he walked to the Pill Furnace.

That being said, Liusu seems to enjoy playing with children more and more these days. She used to hang out with Ye Ling, but now she plays with Qing Cha. I wonder if it's just her childishness acting up, or if she simply doesn't like playing with women anymore?

The thought flashed through Qin Yi's mind, but he didn't dwell on it. He was in a hurry to refine a new kind of pill.

The effects of the commonly used auxiliary cultivation pills, Huiyang Dan and Guifu Dan, can be combined to create a new elixir that works synergistically. This would prevent the need to take them separately each time, requiring separate cultivation practices, which would not only waste time but also cause the two pills to interfere with each other's effectiveness.

His current knowledge of Dao of Alchemy is sufficient for him to refine such a new pill. He even researched the Pill Formula himself and confirmed its effectiveness, so he didn't need Liusu to teach him.

However, the time required for alchemy is getting longer and longer these days...

As the grade of the pill continues to rise, the time required for pill formation Core Formation also increases, even if one's flames are a hundred times stronger than they were initially; the rules cannot be changed.

With the time required increasing, it's no wonder that many cultivators need a page to watch the furnace fire for them, while they only need to make adjustments at the last moment.

The pursuit of immortality is always a battle against time.

"Woof woof woof, woof woof woof."

The sound of a dog Qing Cha drifted over, sounding somewhat detached and distant. Qin Yi stared absently at the stove fire, a sudden feeling rising in his mind. Although theoretically he could stay home as long as he wanted, he definitely shouldn't stay home for too long. The world was constantly changing, and staying home for too long would make him out of touch with the times.

With my Senior Sister having broken through her cultivation and begun her Cloud Wandering, it seems that it's about time for me and Qing Jun to move to a different place as well.

Even if she doesn't return to China, she needs to find a place with people; otherwise, becoming disconnected from the world would be a terrible thing. After Liusu became disconnected, it took her several years to readjust to this era, and even now, her understanding of the world isn't much better than her own. Taiqing is useless in this regard.

I wonder what's going on outside now... What is the Witch God Sect doing? What's the situation at the Ten Thousand Dao Immortal Palace? And... has my little disciple, whom I haven't seen for many years, been bullied? Can she handle the storms of the Great Qian Dynasty?

This day actually marked five full years since they began their seclusion.

The Great Da Qian Kingdom, the largest human kingdom in China, has seen its old emperor helplessly watch as chaos erupts and the empire teeters on the brink of collapse for many years. Initially, he tried to control the situation, but later he became despondent, stopped striving for progress, and instead began seeking immortality and elixirs to escape worldly affairs.

Three years ago, Da Qian Emperor passed away.

Sima Qing, the Imperial Guards, led his troops to control Dragon Abyss City, supported the young son of Da Qian Emperor to become emperor, appointed himself Great General, and still honored Lingxu, the abbot of Hidden Dragon Temple, as the National Teacher.

The princes, leading troops in the fields, each carved out their own territory, while other separatist forces installed members of the imperial family as puppets. Sima Qing's actual control was reduced to only the Capital Region. The country was fragmented, and the struggle for power had raged for three years.

Over the past three years, power has risen and fallen like tides, with smaller forces dying one after another, gradually forming a situation where three or four major forces are in a standoff.

The situation is somewhat similar to that at the end of the Han and Sui dynasties, with heroic epics that are deeply moving. The biggest difference is that, in the history that Qin Yi knows, it has basically nothing to do with girls. So-called Princess are nothing more than pawns in political marriages, or worse, toys.

But at the end of the Great Qian Dynasty, a dragon hid in the deep palace, unknown to people.

Xianning Princess Li Wuxian, was still very young at the time and received no special attention. However, due to the favor shown to her by the National Teacher Lingxu, she often left the palace to cultivate at Hidden Dragon Temple, where she frequently encountered various officials. The young girl was adept at speaking to people in a certain way, and thus developed quite close relationships with many ministers.

In fact, drawn by the Luck Dragon of the Unseen, many people feel as if they are looking at the Great Li Wuxian, as if she represents this country.

This feeling is subtle; upon closer inspection, it makes no sense, yet it feels so real.

There was a reclusive and virtuous minister, renowned throughout the land, who, indignant at Sima Qing's usurpation of the state, resigned from his post and went into Daoist Temple Daoist temple.

He was overjoyed whenever he spoke with Xianning, and often said to others, "If this woman were a man, the world would be at peace."

Whether you're a boy or a girl doesn't really matter...

The important thing is this situation; status is the most important factor.

Li Wuxian was repeatedly emphasized by the "late emperor" as if he were his own son, and should not be treated as an adopted child. Originally, this was a very ridiculous matter, but under subtle conditions, whether it was due to the pull of fate, the choice of virtuous people, or the purpose of political opportunism, many people intentionally or unintentionally overlooked this biggest flaw.

The phrase "The world is at peace" has gradually transformed into "If Xianning does not come out, what will become of the people!" thanks to the covert propaganda of some people.

On the day Ju Yunxiu began her seclusion in an attempt to break through the Qian Yuan realm, the puppet Young Emperor installed by Sima Qing died unexpectedly. It was said that he had eaten a piece of osmanthus cake given to him by a palace maid, but no one knew who that palace maid was.

The entire court believed that Sima Qing had secretly murdered him, and righteous men were indignant, causing a great uproar in the Capital Region.

With the support of the National Teacher Lingxu and many former officials, the Capital Garrison defected, and the palace mutinied. Xianning Princess Li Wuxian, led her men to surround Sima Qing, who was holding a meeting, and captured him alive, imprisoning him and only taking the ringleader, ignoring the accomplices.

On a chosen day, Sima Qing and his accomplices, along with over 800 members of his clan, were executed, leaving no one alive, except for the remaining members, as agreed.

Thus, he gained complete control of the Imperial Guards, Capital Region was at peace.

The National Teacher Lingxu invited Xianning Princess to ascend the throne, Li Wuxian firmly declined, only accepting the title of Nanli King, which had been granted by his "father" to "continue his father's legacy," cultivate martial virtue, promote civil affairs, and leave the imperial throne vacant to await a virtuous and capable ruler. He also asked all the officials to work together to quell the rebellion.

The court and the public admired his virtue, and thus wise ministers emerged, willingly serving as his advisors.

This year marks exactly ten years since the great fire in Southern Li.

In this year, Qin Yi, the Immortal Dao Nanli Kingdom Teacher, was a Daoist named Huiyang Li Qingjun, the Regent, was a Daoist named Guifu; and Li Wuxian, the Nanli King, was eleven years old.
