Profound Yellow!

The King of Yue's Apprentice Ceremony! The senior brothers and sisters eagerly awaited it, all wanting to take this opportunity to broaden their horizons.

When Liang Qu became Yang Dongxiong's apprentice, he only gave him some snacks, worth no more than three taels of silver.

I was poor back then, and I couldn't even scrape together a hundred copper coins. I had to borrow three taels from my Senior Brother Xiang.

Who was the King of Yue?

Martial Saint!

It certainly won't be shabby.

Liang Qu put Wen Shiyun down and turned to instruct, "Long Yao, go to the kitchen and see if the Frozen Cream is ready. Bring it out for everyone to try."

"Yes."

Just as Long Yao brought out the crystal bowl filled with ice cream, Zhang Xu returned, carrying a three-tiered sandalwood box in both hands.

Wen Shiyun was not interested in the so-called Apprentice Ceremony. She picked up a small spoon and took a bite of the icy "Frozen Cream." Her pupils dilated, she shivered, and stretched her neck to gulp it down.

Long Yao quickly divided the food into small bowls to prevent the child from getting an upset stomach from eating too much.

Zhang Xu withdrew his gaze and opened the rosewood drawer.

"Please take a look, Liang Water Envoy."

The first layer is piled high with six kinds of dazzling items.

Dried meat, celery, red beans.

Jujubes, Lotus Seeds, and dried longan.

The six rites of tuition were all complete.

Courtesy and courteous.

The Crown Princess said, "The preparations for the six rites were rushed, so they are only some common Treasure Plant. Liang Water Envoy."

"I wouldn't dare," Liang Qu bowed. "I took the grandson of the Prince as my disciple, King of Yue also accepted me as Registered Disciple. How could a disciple blame his master?"

The Crown Princess looked at Zhang Xu.

Zhang Xu turned slightly to the side and pulled open the second drawer.

Golden light shone through the gaps, waiting for the treasure inside the box to be fully revealed.

A five-petaled golden lotus came into view.

The golden lotus rippled with a clear golden light, which was reflected on the box like flowing water, creating a truly wondrous sight.

"Fifth Grade Soul Golden Lotus!"

Liang Qu's pupils constricted slightly.

He recognized the object.

The Soul Gold Lotus! Similar to the Longevity Peach, only the Da Shun Imperial Court has a stable means of producing it, which is used to reward meritorious officials.

One leaf Great Merit, but the Soul Gold Lotus guarantees at least three leaves and three grades. Even the worst-quality Golden Lotus requires six Great Merit to replace.

The five petals before him represent the fifth rank; in other words, what was placed before him was a rare flower worth Great Merit! Its effect was simple and direct.

Increase the strength of your divine soul!

The Wolf Smoke, in essence, represents a stage where will and body unite, guiding the evolution and change of the "essence".

The Vein Marrow Jade Liquid has a miraculous effect on opening the meridians, temporarily giving the will and spirit a boost, making it feel like hanging a lead weight when condensing the meridians.

The Golden Lotus provides a permanent, fundamental boost! While its effects may not be as dramatic as a temporary boost, and it's uncertain whether it will even be half as effective, a permanent boost is still incredibly valuable!

Xu Zishuai took half a step back and covered his eyes with his hand.

Even though the golden lotus's light was so gentle, he felt it was so dazzling that he couldn't look directly at it!

The other senior brothers and sisters were all shocked.

How magnificent! The Martial Saint's move is truly extraordinary.

Taking on disciples is quite similar to raising children. My junior brother's son hasn't even grown up yet, but he's already reaping the rewards!

"Zhang Jia Zai, continue."

The Crown Princess waved her sleeve and gently reminded her.

Xu Zishuai swallowed hard, remembering that the sandalwood box had three layers.

The second layer is the Soul Gold Lotus, worth ten Great Merit.

What would the third level be like? Everyone became increasingly curious.

Zhang Xu didn't keep them in suspense and opened the drawer.

Sunlight streamed into the wooden box, dispelling the shadows.

A metal plaque, shaped like a crescent moon, neither quite gold nor quite copper, lay quietly inside, swaying gently as the drawer was pulled out.

The words "dragon and phoenix in flight" are displayed above.

"Dark Yellow".

this...

Liang Qu and his senior brothers and sisters looked at each other, not understanding what it was.

Only Yang Dongxiong, standing behind the crowd, felt a tremor in his heart.

Zhang Xu bowed and smiled, saying, "This is half a portion of Profound Yellow Long Qi, King of Yue specifically instructed me to present to the Liang Water Envoy."

Half a portion of... Profound Yellow Long Qi? Hu Qi Xiang ChangSong, both of whom were of shallow cultivation, did not know what Profound Yellow Long Qi was.

Xu Zishuai almost lost his balance and stumbled back two steps.

Xiang ChangSong quietly asked, "Senior Brother Xu, what is Profound Yellow Long Qi?"

"An item for advancing to the Grandmaster," Xu Zishuai said succinctly.

An item for advancing to the Grandmaster level?

Xiang ChangSong stared in disbelief. "Our Master is going to become Grandmaster?"

Xu Zishuai shook his head. "There are several steps to take to advance to the Grandmaster level. Our Master is a little short, but it's not hopeless."

The brothers and sisters in the room all deepened their breathing.

What a generous gesture!

Yu Dun and Lu Gang exchanged glances, both of them knowing more, and some guesses arose in their hearts.

This ceremony,

It's probably not for my junior brother.

Profound Yellow Long Qi is the most balanced and harmonious Long Qi in the world, but it is only of medium quality.

Junior Brother Wolf Smoke Realm already showed the potential to be at least a Grandmaster and possibly Martial Saint, so the King of Yue deliberately sent him a mid-level talent, which was somewhat of a "suppression".

It would be perfect for the Master to use!

Whether from the perspective of the key points or the level of understanding, it all makes sense.

Liang Qu calmed his turbulent thoughts, noticed Zhang Xu's words, and respectfully asked, "Mr. Zhang, what is meant by... half a portion of Profound Yellow Long Qi?"

Zhang Xu said, "Many special items of the imperial court cannot be measured by Great Merit, or rather, cannot be exchanged entirely based on Great Merit."

There are countless rules Myriad Laws in the world, and it's impossible to say that there are no loopholes that people can't exploit. The imperial court can only try to set limits and find loopholes, mostly in two ways.

First, there are special groups for exchange. For example, Liang Water Envoy received the Sacred Emperor's Edict last year and was included in the Ministry of Personnel's list of virtuous and talented individuals this year. Certain treasures are set up so that only those on the list of virtuous and talented individuals can exchange them with Great Merit. The Soul Gold Lotus is such a treasure.

Second, it should be compiled into a separate book. This would facilitate the Sacred Emperor's special rewards, such as the Merit Selection Authority. Those who obtain the Merit Selection Authority corresponding to their rank can enter the Scripture Repository Palace and choose any corresponding Cultivation Method.

The Heaven and Earth Long Qi permeates both.

For ordinary people, exchanging these tokens is extremely difficult and fraught with obstacles. However, when King of Yue became a saint, the court issued five Profound Yellow Token in one go.

With one Profound Yellow Token and ten Great Merit, one can exchange a portion of Profound Yellow Energy from the imperial court.

Today, I am only giving Liang Water Envoy the Profound Yellow Token. In the future, Liang Water Envoy will still need to accumulate ten Great Merit to exchange for a complete Profound Yellow Long Qi.

No wonder it was half a portion! Everyone suddenly realized.

It is quite similar to the special medium needed to take Long Qi medicine.

Without a medium, even the best gas can't be absorbed; it's all for nothing.

If it is really calculated as half a share.

The "half" of the Profound Yellow Token is definitely worth much more than the "half" of ten Great Merit! The latter can be accumulated, but the former cannot!

Liang Qu strode across the threshold and bowed deeply, facing the direction where the Flowing Light Boat was docking.

"This gift is far too precious; I am truly humbled and honored."

"There's no need for that, Liang Water Envoy," the Crown Princess comforted her. "Liang Water Envoy must be able to see that this gift is nominally for you, but in reality it's for Yang Zhanggu."

"Liang Water Envoy has just established the Wolf Smoke Human Bridge this year, but he is still two major realms away from becoming Grandmaster. It is too early to talk about being convinced of his Qi Ingestion. Yang Zhanggu, on the other hand, has reached the pinnacle of Hunting Tiger and can be considered to have stood at the gate."

Yang Dongxiong had no choice but to stand up and express his gratitude. "I am ashamed..."

The Crown Princess raised her hand to stop Yang Dongxiong from speaking.

"If Yang Zhanggu cannot break through, then it would be worthwhile to leave this Profound Yellow Long Qi as a medium for Liang Water Envoy Qi Ingestion in the future."

Liang Qu was stunned. "The Profound Yellow Long Qi, as a medium?"

To absorb the Heaven and Earth Long Qi, a medium is needed.

How can the Long Qi itself act as a medium?

Matryoshka dolls?

Zhang Xu bowed and explained, "Other Long Qi would not be able to serve as a medium, but Profound Yellow Long Qi is the most righteous and peaceful qi in the world. It is naturally compatible with humans and is known as the righteous qi of Human Dao."

The vast majority of people who consume Profound Yellow Long Qi can achieve the highest level of results, i. e., an 80% or even higher, without the need for a medium or guidance.

Because the highest level is the top, according to the court's research and analysis, it should be 90% or higher, so even if the Qi Ingestion fails, the foundation will not be greatly damaged.

Therefore, due to this characteristic, the Profound Yellow Long Qi can serve as a medium for consuming other Long Qi, and its quality far surpasses that of ordinary mediums.

That's really how it is!

This was the first time Yu Dun and Lu Gang had ever heard such a secret.

The Crown Princess added, "A Profound Yellow Long Qi can be roughly divided into three mediums. Many geniuses, even if they do not consume it themselves, are still full of longing for Profound Yellow Long Qi."

The small bowl was empty.

Wen Shiyun ate until her mouth was covered in cream, and seeing that no one was watching her, she jumped off the chair and secretly ran to the crystal basin to get another bowl.

Long Yao was about to stop her, but in the blink of an eye she saw the young grandson carrying a bowl and handing it to the Crown Princess.

The Crown Princess smiled, pinched Wen Shiyun's cheek, and took the small bowl to savor the taste.

for a long time.

Liang Qu was facing the direction of Flowing Light Boat, and bowed deeply.

"Your disciple thanks King of Yue."
