Gifts Before the City Gates

In fact, not only Li Huo Li, but also many of the Garrison Commander present paid even more attention to Lin Yi after learning that Qin Jian could refine a superior Martial Saint Pill.

After all, it is extremely rare for Martial Saint to comprehend a first-class ' Shocking Thunder ' Domain, not to mention that this Martial Saint is also a master craftsman who can refine superior Martial Saint Pill Refining Master.

Given Qin Jian's current age, it's a certainty that he will reach the eighth realm Martial Saint, and his future in Tongguan Prefecture is limitless.

Even Lei Buping and Qian Sanliang felt a little regretful.

After all, during these two meetings of the Garrison Commander, they had some preconceived notions about ' Qin Jian '. They felt from the beginning that ' Qin Jian ' had deliberately arrived late, so their words and attitudes were definitely not friendly and were full of sarcasm.

If Qin Jian were to leap into the Martial Saint Seventh Realm and become their Martial Saint senior, coupled with his ability to refine Martial Saint Pill, it would probably only take a word for him to secretly suppress and deal with the two of them in the future.

Qian Sanliang was a man who could take things in stride. With a grin, he stepped forward and cupped his hands in a respectful gesture. "Town Guardian Qin, I was blind and underestimated your abilities earlier. My words just now were purely offensive; please don't take offense..."

Seeing Qian Sanliang's shamelessness, Lei Buping looked at him strangely.

Although he had verbally insulted Qin Jian three days ago, he couldn't bring himself to apologize.

He was no match for Qian Sanliang; after all, he still had his pride.

Seeing that Qian Sanliang had taken the initiative to back down, Lin Yi didn't say much, but simply cupped his hands in greeting.

The martial world is not just about fighting and killing. Moreover, those who can become Garrison Commander are not ordinary people. They are either Rogue Cultivators Martial Saint with great opportunities or have martial arts families standing behind them.

Whether it's Lei Buping or Qian Sanliang, at most they just look down on Qin Jian from before, it has little to do with him.

Upon entering Martial Saint City, Lin Yi did not intend to make many enemies for himself.

As a great man once said, "Make as few enemies as possible and as many friends as possible; only then can you get by."

Unless it infringes on one's fundamental interests, there's no need to kill him.

At this moment, Huang Xian asked, "Town Guardian Qin, do you have any extra high-grade Martial Saint Pill? Or perhaps you could start refining some in the near future? I have a grandson whose Jade is currently lacking for Martial Saint Pill breakthrough..."

Qian Sanliang quickly added, "Town Guardian Qin, actually I also wish to request a top-grade Martial Saint Pill..."

Lin Yi couldn't help but shake his head. This Qian Sanliang was really interesting. It turned out that he had just apologized to ask him for a Martial Saint Pill.

But then, the Prefecture Lord urged, "Everyone, it's getting late, we should set off!"

"Yes!"

Faced with the urging of the Prefecture Lord, the Garrison Commander who also wanted to ask Lin Yi for a superior Martial Saint Pill had no choice but to suppress their thoughts and prepare to seek out Lin Yi later.

As the group left the main hall, they saw a noble man in a golden robe leisurely lying in a carriage amidst the Cloud Sea atop the mountain. He was sipping Spiritual Wine, seemingly watching the sunset over the Cloud Sea.

This man had sharp, bright eyes and a noble appearance. He looked to be about thirty years old and was Deputy Prefecture Lord Wushi whom the Prefecture Lord had mentioned earlier.

In Qin Jian's memory, this person was a prodigy from a hundred years ago. It is said that when he was born, purple clouds floated in the sky, stretching across three thousand miles, and only dissipated after several days.

His experience of practicing martial arts is even more exaggerated.

Wu Shi began learning martial arts at the age of three, reached the professional level of Martial Artist at the age of five, and became Four-star Martial Artist at the age of ten.

His only shortcoming was that he only broke through to the Martial Saint at the age of 10, wasting a full 10 years of time.

Of course, during these ten days, it is said that he was studying the Three Ladders Walking Method, which is why his cultivation progress was delayed.

In the end, this person also did not follow the usual path, but achieved the Martial Saint by using the most difficult Body Ascension Method.

After a brief recollection of Wu Shi's memories swirled in his mind, Lin Yi and the other Garrison Commander bowed and greeted, "Greetings, Deputy Wu Shi!"

Wu Shi rose to his feet, and with a wave of his hand, ten wisps of cloud transformed into wine cups, which floated to Lin Yi and the others.

The Spiritual Wine inside was created from nothing, just enough to overflow the rim of the cup, but not a single drop was spilled.

"No need for that. Prefecture Lord will be going into seclusion this time. I will take you to the Endless Fire Domain. Before we set off, let's all have a drink of Spiritual Wine as a farewell gift."

Three days ago, everyone went to their respective Tong Pass, and the scene was just like this.

So no one found it strange, and each of them picked up their cloud-mist wine cups and drank the Spiritual Wine inside in one gulp.

Only Lin Yi took the opportunity to check the quality of the Spiritual Wine.

[Cloud Wine - Purple]: A fine wine made by gathering the Heaven and Earth Power and brewing wine with clouds and mist, which has the effect of strengthening the spirit and refining the body.

After drinking the Spiritual Wine, Lin Yi could feel a warm current spreading through his meridians Qi-Blood, and his Spirit Power level even increased by a few points.

It's good wine, much better than the Houkui wine he used to have.

Fufeng cupped his hands and asked Yu, "Wu Shi Prince Wu Shi, shall we depart now?"

Wu Shi, aboard the Cloud Chariot, shook his head and said, "Some Garrison Commander return home after three days, and their families have come to Tongguan Prefecture several times to inquire about them, which makes me uneasy. Before setting off, let's go to the city gate first."

family?

The ten Garrison Commander looked at each other, wondering who Wu Shi was referring to.

Only Lin Yi noticed that Deputy Prefecture Lord Wushi, lingered on him for a moment, and couldn't help but touch his nose.

Could it be him?

No wonder, it seems he didn't inform Gu Tianxue when he was in seclusion in the Scripture Repository.

Given Gu Tianxue's personality, it's quite possible that she would come to Tongguan Prefecture to inquire about his whereabouts.

Flying is prohibited within Martial Saint City, but this time, the ten garrison commanders of Tongguan Prefecture are not required to follow this rule when they travel together.

Wu Shi his hand, and three White Flood Dragon formed from clouds and mist roared as they drove their chariots, leading the Twelve Town Guardians as a rainbow of Rainbow Light to land above the city gate of Martial Saint City.

Lin Yi glanced down and saw a graceful woman standing in the sunlight streaming through the majestic gate of the city.

The woman, dressed in a magnificent brocade robe, stood on a luxurious carriage. Her skin was as white as snow, and her eyes were like stars in the cold night, dazzling with every glance.

Who else could it be but Gu Tianxue?

Yang Fan spoke, looking at Qin Jian and saying, "The Gu Family's carriage seems to belong to the Town Guardian Qin's family."

"The girls of the Gu Family this generation are truly stunningly beautiful. Town Guardian Qin is so lucky!"

Clearly, Gu Tianxue's appearance amazed many of the town Garrison Commander present.

Lin Yi had no choice but to clasp his hands in greeting. "Gentlemen, that is my wife. I will go down for a moment."

"Let's go and Town Guardian Qin. We can wait."

Seeing Lin Yi land, Gu Tianxue bowed gracefully and dignifiedly, then nodded to the crowd in the sky.

"My husband!"

Lin Yi raised an eyebrow. "Why did you come here?"

"You haven't left Tongguan Prefecture for three days, and haven't even sent a letter. How can I not be worried?"

Gu Tianxue was indeed not lying. Seeing that Lin Yi had been in Tongguan Prefecture for so long without any news, she thought his identity had been exposed.

She was relieved to learn that Lin Yi was in seclusion in the Scripture Repository of Tongguan Prefecture.

"It's my fault. I'm about to head to the Endless Fire Domain and can't be delayed. You should go back first."

Gu Tianxue frowned and said, "Don't rush. I know your mission Garrison Commander, but the Endless Fire Domain is no ordinary place. Which of the other Garrison Commander didn't make full preparations within three days and acquire all kinds of icy treasures? Only you didn't take anything. If others find out, they will think that my Gu Family is mistreating you."

As he spoke, Gu Tianxue took out a Three-foot Ruyi was filled with a cold, frosty light from her Qi Sea Space.

"This item is Martial Dao Spirit Treasure left behind by an ancestor of my Gu Family. I have already communicated with its Artifact Spirit, and it will allow you to control it for more than a month, unleashing 80% of its power."

Lin Yi was surprised; he really hadn't expected Gu Tianxue to be so considerate.

"This..."

Gu Tianxue transmitted her voice and said, "Keep it. Although you have many treasures, the more you hide, the greater the chance of being exposed. This Frost Ruyi can restrain the environment of the Endless Fire Domain and may help you deal with that Heavenly Heaven-Piercing Demon God."

Lin Yi it over, Lin Yi realized that what Gu Tianxue said was true, so he accepted the Gu Family Ruyi's scepter.

This Ruyi is made of a special material, crafted from a variety of Extreme Cold Purple Material. It is bright and clear throughout. After sensing Lin Yi's aura, it transformed into a stream of light and landed on Lin Yi's wrist.

Thank you.

Hearing Lin Yi's heartfelt thanks, Gu Tianxue's lips curled up slightly, and her bright eyes narrowed a little.

Then, she took out some precious pills from the Gu Family and handed them to Lin Yi. Then, like a virtuous wife, she stood on tiptoe and adjusted the clothes around Lin Yi's neck.

The fragrance of orchids wafted onto Lin Yi's face.

Lin Yi turned his head and met Gu Tianxue's smiling eyes.

"You did this on purpose?"

"After my return, there were many rumors in the Ancient Domain that you were a son-in-law who was not valued by the Gu Family. Some people even said that my relationship with you was just a charade. I will personally shatter these rumors one day."

Lin Yi sighed inwardly. The rumors weren't wrong, but he couldn't refuse right now and could only let Gu Tianxue do it to him.

In mid-air, the eleven Garrison Commander watched with varying expressions.

The older Huang Xian stroked his beard, his eyes filled with satisfaction and emotion, as if he were seeing his younger self.

However, Lei Buping, Kun Haotian, and other lone individuals felt somewhat uncomfortable.

As for what kind of discomfort they felt, they couldn't explain it.

Qian Sanliang coughed and couldn't help but say, "If I'm not mistaken, this is the third time we've Town Guardian Qin..."

Huang Xian said, "What's wrong with waiting? This warm scene shouldn't be disturbed."

Yang Fan also said sourly, "If I remember correctly, the person below, from the Gu Family's 'Tian' generation, is not even twenty years old. It's like an old cow eating young grass for Town Guardian Qin."

Qian Sanliang joked, "Hey, that's not a proper way to describe it. I think it's more like an old ox gnawing on tender grass."

The young Kun Haori asked, puzzled, "What's the difference between eating and gnawing?"

"There's a lot more to it than meets the eye. It's related to the power of your tongue. You'll understand once you marry the girl from the Ni family and have your wedding night."

Just then, Lin Yi turned back, and Qian Sanliang immediately stopped teasing him.

Lin Yi cupped his hands and said, "I'm sorry to have kept you all waiting!"

"In that case, let's set off!"

Wu Shi his hand, and the cloud dragon exerted its power, carrying the chariot away first, disappearing into the horizon.

Seeing this, the Twelve Town Guardians also transformed into streaks of light and followed.
