Flowing Wind Pendant

The burning of ancient texts during the Qin Dynasty resulted in incompleteness, and many contents related to cultivation in the Qilin Pavilion have been revised since then.

The relevant Technique Method use the great cultivators involved in the techniques as a reference standard to explain how they achieved their level of cultivation and what level they reached.

These past few days, Zhang Xuezhou has been reading through the "Great Wind Classic" and various classics left by the ancestors of many branches of the Yin-Yang School over the past century. He has also looked at the relevant works on Transformation Technique.

Aside from the numerous references to Yin-Yang School, the quality of other content is debatable.

Simply put, this was somewhat unappealing to Zhang Xuezhou.

Despite Zhang Xuezhou's mediocre fighting skills, he has mastered the most orthodox Yin-Yang School's Realm Technique, as well as various top-tier secret manuals from Kunlun Sacred Land, Physiognomy School, and Huangsha Sect. While these techniques may not all be classified as first-class, none of them are incomplete inheritances.

Having grown accustomed to refined grains, he found it difficult to stomach coarse grains.

Not only the Qilin Pavilion, but also the Wenying Pavilion of the King of Huainan's Household, Zhang Xuezhou's search for the Jiazi Room would inevitably yield little.

For many officials, the land of the Great Han Dynasty, a treasure trove for the dynasty's legacy, offered little opportunity for Zhang Xuezhou to learn new Technique Method that were truly satisfying. He could only draw upon the experiences of the Yin-Yang School's failures and shortcomings.

He tightly bound the opened bamboo slips and left the Qilin Pavilion alone.

The rain continued, but Zhang Xuezhou didn't care that his clothes were getting wet. He staggered out of the palace.

Among thousands of officials, without the elevating effect of the Grand Master of the Palace, he was indeed inconspicuous and hardly anyone paid attention to him.

Is it inconvenient for the carriage to pass?

The drainage system in the Imperial City District is excellent, with ditches diverting rainwater away. However, roads outside this area are riddled with potholes and puddles.

Coachmen only took short-distance business to avoid their carriages getting damaged in poor visibility.

Unable to hail a carriage, Zhang Xuezhou could only ride back and forth like a gust of wind.

Even with one-tenth of his Law Power at his disposal, it was still a bit insufficient for Zhang Xuezhou. He had no problem casting some instantaneous Technique Method, but casting continuous Technique Method was difficult for him to do with ease.

When he traveled from the north to Mount Tai, he encountered many bumps and bruises while riding the Yufeng. Now, in Chang'an City, it was inconvenient for him to fly straight up to high places, and he was bound to bump and bruise while traveling through the wind.

If it weren't for the fact that there were few pedestrians on the road on a rainy day, he would inevitably bump into some people.

"Marquis of Wu'an... Hmm? Lord Dongfang?"

The sound of galloping horses approached, and as Zhang Xuezhou dodged to the side, he heard a surprised voice from the horse.

"So it's Prime Minister Xu!"

Zhang Xuezhou cupped his hands in a salute, but his voice inevitably carried a hint of sarcasm. After all, Xu Chang had repeatedly emphasized castration when impeaching him, and Zhang Xuezhou felt that the other party genuinely intended to take such a drastic measure.

The cooperation with Xu Chang was so unpleasant that it's no wonder Zhang Xuezhou disliked Xu Chang.

"When did you, Lord Dongfang, master the art of flying? Your flying skills are comparable to those of Marquis of Wu'an!"

Xu Chang wore Tongtian crown and rode a bright red horse. He was dressed in mourning clothes and a straw raincoat, which made him look somewhat strange.

Zhang Xuezhou glanced at Xu Chang, who had reined in his horse, and then looked at the three riders behind him.

"I've been reading the 'Great Wind Sutra' these past few days, and I was so carried away that I practiced it in the rain, making a fool of myself in front of Prime Minister Xu," Zhang Xuezhou replied.

"It seems that Lord Dongfang possesses the talent for cultivating and flying!"

"You flatter me!"

Zhang Xuezhou withdrew his cloud-riding technique and stood on a corner of the eaves by the roadside, giving way to Xu Chang and the others, waiting for them to ride away.

He quickly made up an excuse and then cut off Xu Chang's subsequent questioning with an awkward silence.

"The Marquis of Marquis of Wu'an has obtained the Sky Shuttle, and when he flies, it's as if he's riding a light boat across a river. Lord Dongfang is skilled in flying; if he could obtain a treasure to aid him, he would surely stand at the top and establish a firm foothold in the court!"

Zhang Xuezhou had a cold expression, but Xu Chang didn't mind at all and continued to speak.

"I possess an ancient, flowing pendant that, when worn, allows me to move as lightly as a swallow, enhancing my agility. I wonder if Lord Dongfang would be interested?" Xu Chang said, bowing respectfully.

"Oh?"

"Lord Dongfang, you can give it a try!"

Xu Chang touched his waist, carefully untied a long, finger-thick piece of jade, and then handed it over.

"The incantation to activate this thing is..."

Upon seeing Zhang Xuezhou extend his hand, Xu Chang lowered his head and then whispered something through his lips.

"Not bad!"

Zhang Xuezhou touched the jade, and then, following Xu Chang's instructions, he channeled Law Power and recited the incantation.

A green light flashed across the Flowing Wind Pendant, and Zhang Xuezhou felt his body become lighter.

Having worn the Heavenly Robe for many years, Zhang Xuezhou was well aware of the effects of the flight-assisting Law Treasure.

The Flowing Wind Pendant's ability to assist in flight is similar to that of the Heavenly Robe, and it has a relatively obvious auxiliary function. If there is a drawback, it is that the Flowing Wind Pendant requires the infusion of Law Power when used, unlike the Heavenly Robe which can exert its effect simply by being worn.

Although he had once possessed the Heavenly Robe, Zhang Xuezhou had to admit that the Flowing Wind Pendant was an extremely rare magical Law Treasure that aided in flight.

He exclaimed in admiration and handed the jade pendant back.

"This item belongs to the Xu family, not to the Prime Minister," Xu Chang refused to accept, saying, "If Lord Dongfang likes it, I will present it to him!"

"Oh!"

"To be honest, Lord Dongfang, I received an urgent message mentioning that a water demon is causing trouble in the Jinghuai region, resulting in continuous rain," Xu Chang said. "Our mission is to investigate and order the water demon to stop its water-drawing magic, but the river is overflowing, and few have the strength to go. If Lord Dongfang can lend a helping hand, I will be eternally grateful!"

Why doesn't Lord Xu invite Marquis of Wu'an?

Sigh!

Xu Chang looked helpless.

The grudges within the imperial court were endless, and it was this group of people who dragged Marquis of Wu'an Tian Fen down, forcing him to relinquish his position as Grand Commandant.

Although everyone could usually laugh and joke around, when Changxin Palace attacked Anle Palace, how could Tian Fen, the Empress Dowager's younger brother, come to their aid?

At this moment, Tian Fen was hoping that Xu Chang and others would accumulate more and more mistakes during their tenure, so that when they were overthrown, they would be completely unable to recover.

It was only natural that Xu Chang couldn't get Tian Fen's help.

Xu Chang never expected that when he rode his horse out of Chang'an City, he would see Zhang Xuezhou galloping around here.

It's been over thirty or forty miles from the imperial city gate to here. Even if Zhang Xuezhou didn't start flying from the imperial city gate, the distance he flew at low altitude was still considerable. If he could retrieve the treasure to help him, Xu Chang felt that it would be easy for him to use the floodwaters to investigate the situation.

He was in a hurry, but Xu Chang still reined in his horse to communicate, wanting to ask for help again.

"We earnestly hope that Lord Dongfang will disregard past grievances and offer his assistance," Xu Chang said sincerely. "Not only for our sake, but stopping this rain will also prevent the city from suffering from flooding!"

Xu Chang didn't mention that the Flowing Wind Pendant was the reward for inviting help; he just kept pushing this Law Treasure into Zhang Xuezhou's hands.

Zhuang Qingdi spared no expense to ensure a safe exit from the court, and Xu Chang was no small man either.

Especially since there are only a few days left before they complete the funeral rites, and they can land safely after this period, any unexpected events need to be avoided as much as possible.

He went to great lengths to invite Li Guang to help, and didn't mind paying even more to invite Zhang Xuezhou to help as well.
