Within the territory of Huaxia, Shanhai Pass General Bureau.
Withdrawing his attention from the Seal of Judgment, Yang Qingshan ended the remote meeting.
My feelings are quite complicated.
On the one hand, he felt that Huaxia had produced an unparalleled Martial Dao prodigy, which was truly a blessing Huaxia heaven and a fortune that Yang Qingshan had accumulated over countless lifetimes.
But on the other hand...
He also felt that the boy was progressing too quickly, so much so that before he was ready to retire, he inexplicably found himself only able to work as an assistant.
"Ye Li is still too well-rounded..."
Yang Qingshan sighed deeply, his heart filled with relief but also with a touch of helplessness at the passing of time.
Normally speaking...
At around seven hundred years old, at the peak of the Dao Observation Realm, he was in his prime.
But with Ye Li joining the fray, he no longer knew whether he was paving the way for Ye Li's progress or Ye Li was single-handedly turning around the awkward situation of the entire Qingyi Bureau.
In such a short time, the stalemate has been reversed to this extent.
"Old Yang, your and Ye Li's travel documents have been processed, you can leave tomorrow!"
Just then, the office door was suddenly pushed open.
Xiao Cheng, the grandmaster who was also stationed at Shanhai Pass, strode in, his aged face beaming with joy. "I inquired along the way, and there's been a bit of an accident on the Federation's end; it'll take a few more days to process the travel documents."
"You can take advantage of these few days beforehand to familiarize yourselves with the local environment."
As he spoke, he sat down on the wooden chair opposite Yang Qingshan and casually placed two documents with gold lettering on the long table.
Upon hearing this...
Yang Qingshan looked somewhat helpless and sighed:
"We're going to explore new Grandmaster- Secret Realm, not to start a national war. What's the point of getting familiar with the environment?"
As he spoke, he picked up the two vouchers on the table, examined them carefully, and then stored them in his Storage Treasure Tool.
That's really strange.
In previous years, when exploring the Secret Realm of the Golden Moon Country, it was usually necessary to obtain a certificate from the Federal Nation first.
Even at the height of Huaxia's power, visas for both countries were issued simultaneously.
This time, it was Huaxia who came down first...
Yang Qingshan raised his head again and said carefully, "Don't sit there, go and help me with something else."
"Don't you have any personal guards or generals?"
Xiao Cheng's smile vanished, replaced by a cold, annoyed laugh, "You make me run errands for you every day? I'm Arbiter of the Qingyi Bureau, not your servant!"
"I need to get something for Ye Li."
"I see. What exactly is it?"
Xiao Cheng sat up naturally, a smile returning to his rugged face, and said, "It's quite a coincidence, I happen to have some free time right now."
"..."
Yang Qingshan took a deep breath to calm the emotions surging within him.
As for his friend Xiao Cheng's gaze, he tried his best not to interpret it as, "Why didn't you say so sooner?"
"Go and take stock of the General Administration's inventory. Make a list of Treasure Medicine that can help a Grandmaster." Yang Qingshan didn't want to delay business. His own little emotions were far less important than the boy's progress.
His thoughts raced, and he slowly instructed, "Also, select the Spirit Nurturing Method needed to break through to the Hegemony Realm, as well as the Premium Martial Skill required for that Hegemony Realm. Be quick about it."
"That's all?"
Xiao Cheng crossed his arms in front of him. "Didn't you say you were going to bring an eighth-tier Treasured Artifacts?"
"You don't need to trouble yourself with this."
Yang Qingshan stood up and said expressionlessly, "I will personally go to the treasure vault to select items."
He planned to choose some eighth-tier Treasured Artifacts that consumed a lot of true energy.
Of course, this was merely to dissuade Ye Li from going it alone; Yang Qingshan still intended to carefully select the eighth-tier Treasured Artifacts he truly needed to carry.
Xiao Cheng left the room in a hurry.
Yang Qingshan also sighed with emotion.
Ye Li, please don't blame me for being despicable.
This is all to relieve your stress and ensure your safety.
Ying Province is located tens of thousands of miles away from Shanhai Pass.
Fengyun University, the Gold Medal Courtyard.
Ye Li stretched his limbs as he slowly walked out of the room.
[Current Malice Points: Points]
My gaze swept across the panel in front of me.
He couldn't help but sigh. With this amount of power alone, even after a suitable eighth-level Cultivation Method is deduced, it would be difficult to bring it to perfection.
We're really stretched thin.
Fortunately, Blue Star is vast enough that countless things happen every moment.
There are always a few things that can help him.
Just like the Golden Moon Country Secret Realm this time.
We need to get there as soon as possible.
That said, did the Golden Moon Country have any past grudges against Huaxia?
Ye Li was not very clear about this, as he had not yet looked into the records of the Qingyi Bureau in this regard.
However, if there's a past grudge, then this trip could be a chance to earn some extra money.
The Shanhai Pass General Bureau should have relevant documents available for review, which is exactly what I need...
Ye Li's lips curled up, and then his true energy was revealed, just as he was about to take off.
Alas!--
Then a familiar figure descended from the sky, looking somewhat hurried.
The newcomer was dressed in blue, and his feet were as white as White Jade.
It was Zuo Qingyu.
"Ye Li..."
Taking in Ye Li's actions,
Zuo Qingyu was slightly taken aback, and the expression on her small face froze. She asked, "Are you leaving school again?"
"Something came up," Ye Li admitted.
Where are we going?
A pang of sadness welled up in Zuo Qingyu's heart, and she blurted out the question.
Her voice was slightly hoarse, and she quickly added:
"If it's about exploring Secret Realm, I've accumulated quite a bit of experience in the past, perhaps... I can be of help to you."
"Next time."
Ye Li remained calm and said, "This time we're going abroad, and the level of the Secret Realm is quite high. We'll talk about it next time when we have the chance."
"I see..."
Zuo Qingyu lowered her eyes, showing no obvious dissatisfaction.
Her expression remained calm, though her breathing was slightly erratic.
After a brief silence.
Zuo Qingyu took a light breath, took out something from her bosom, and gently tossed it to Ye Li, saying, "Since you're going on a long journey, this is for you."
"This is..."
Ye Li reached out and took it, glancing at it briefly.
A finely carved jade bracelet caught his eye, containing a considerable amount of energy that even those at the Dao Observation Realm would find substantial, and it was currently emitting a soft white light.
Just holding it in your hands feels like your spirit is being nourished.
"A protective Treasured Artifacts."
Zuo Qingyu crossed her arms, tilted her head to look at the distant azure sky, and said casually:
"It was left to me by my mother; it's of no use to me."
"Now that you have grown into a capable and independent individual, consider this a farewell gift from your teacher."
Having said that, she withdrew her gaze, looked back at the Boy in Black before her, and chuckled softly:
"Go well, have a safe journey."
