Chapter 828: Chapter 35: Jingxin Calendar 35th Year, Prince Liang Rebels! (Da Zhang - Please Vote for Monthly Ticket)
"Thank you, Your Highness."
"Just call me Uncle." Ji Mingxian smiled and said, "Qingshan, do you still remember the ambitions of your youth?"
"Uncle, I remember." Ji Qingshan said, "I want to teach and nurture people, write books and establish a legacy, spreading the Holy King’s Dao to the world."
"Back then, your father and grandfather intended for you to succeed the throne, forcing you to cast aside your pen for military duty. Who gave you a chance to take over the Da Zhang Prefecture branch? Do you remember?"
"It was you, Uncle, who gave me the choice and persuaded my father and grandfather." Ji Qingshan bowed, "Qingshan always remembers this."
"Have your original intentions ever changed?"
"Never changed." Ji Qingshan said. "I still only want to be a teacher, only want to read books."
"Do you want to give up the position of Dean and leave Pinghai State?"
Ji Qingshan’s eyes flashed a hint of contemplation: "I want to, but Qingshan bears the duties of the Royal Family, and I am willing to remain here and serve."
Ji Mingxian nodded: "It is time, you can leave, far from Pinghai State, far from all this strife."
Ji Qingshan was slightly stunned: "Uncle, can I really leave?"
Ji Mingxian smiled and said: "Back then, I let you have the choice. Today is the same, you can go do what you love."
"Transfer the authority of the Dean and the Li Fire Divine Altar Order to my son Ji Ye, let him temporarily take your position. I will help solve other issues, so you don’t need to worry about trouble from the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of War."
Upon hearing this, Ji Qingshan immediately bowed and said: "Thank you, Uncle, I will get it done right away."
He immediately left the underground altar, handing over the control of the altar and the Fire Pit transmission Li Fire Token to Ji Ye.
Such a transfer would not have been possible so quickly, but due to trust in Prince Liang, Ji Qingshan relinquished everything.
Afterward, he left Pinghai State.
...
Jingxin Calendar 34th year, November 26th.
Chongming Prefecture, Dongyang County.
In the underground secret room, Zhao Xing, who was contemplating, suddenly furrowed his brow.
He felt a surge of high-level Fire Element power dissipate within him.
As if something was moving away from him.
After pondering for a moment, Zhao Xing finally understood what this feeling meant.
"It is Li Fire Technique."
"My usage authority of the Li Fire Altar has been frozen."
Zhao Xing quickly took out the Li Fire Token, which he obtained when he passed the [Glory Preaching Master] at the Li Fire Taoist School.
With this token, he could use the fire altar to travel at any branch of the Li Fire Taoist School.
But now, it’s frozen.
"Buzz~"
A message quickly came from the Earth Realm.
[In compliance with the court’s Ministry of War order, the Li Fire Altar will prioritize supplying military generals and transporting military supplies. The original privileges of some Li Fire Token holders will be temporarily frozen. The date of thawing will be separately notified—Da Zhang Prefecture Dean ’Ji Qingshan’]
"The authority is frozen." Zhao Xing looked at the announcement. "It seems reasonable, everything prioritizes the military, but it appears that it’s all decided by Prince Liang."
"But this Ji Qingshan, why has he secretly defected to Prince Liang?"
The announcement was issued by Ji Qingshan, the Dean of Da Zhang Prefecture, but Zhao Xing had investigated this person and did not recall him rebelling alongside Prince Liang.
However, he did not know that Ji Qingshan was purely being used by Prince Liang.
Ji Qingshan trusted Prince Liang to handle everything, and when given the choice, he genuinely did as told.
Actually, the current Dean is Ji Ye, but everything is still issued in his name.
"Without the Li Fire Altar, a fast turnover channel is lost."
"Bishui Daoist School is still available, but the cost is higher than the Li Fire Altar." Zhao Xing thought. "It seems I must find a stable channel."
Apart from the Military Realm, there are only five Daoist academies with such rapid transmission methods.
They are Dragon Abyss Martial Mansion, Bishui Daoist School, Li Fire Taoist School, Star Martial Mansion, Purple Sun Palace.
Among them, Li Fire Taoist School is the fastest, furthest, least costly, and has the greatest range.
The others have various restrictions and costs, far lesser than the Li Fire Taoist School.
"I haven’t obtained the Bishui Daoist School’s privileges, but now there’s no need to get them."
"I don’t even need to go through Princess You Ruo, I’ll just directly find Qin Hongying."
Zhao Xing thought.
He immediately set off, leaving Dongyang County and headed to Bixian County.
Bishui Daoist School, Beast Taming Department.
Qin Hongying met with Zhao Xing.
"Dean Qin, does the agreement from back then still count?" Zhao Xing got straight to the point.
"Zhao Xing, do you want to serve at the Daoist academy?" Qin Hongying revealed a hint of delight, "Of course! I wonder which branch you want to join."
"Any branch is fine, I need a pass for Biyou Canghai." Zhao Xing said, "To be able to move freely in Pinghai State."
Qin Hongying nodded: "Sure, Biyou Canghai, passes through the underground waterways to various high-level water veins in Pinghai State, but it is not as convenient as the Li Fire Taoist School, and once through, there will be a drowning sensation, which cannot be completely eliminated, it applies to everyone."
"I must inform you of its pros and cons, if you are there only for it, then the Li Fire Altar is most suitable."
Qin Hongying was honest, explaining everything clearly.
Zhao Xing nodded: "I understand, please proceed, Dean Qin."
Having something to use is better than having nothing.
"Okay, follow me."
...
Jingxin Calendar 34th year, December 10th.
Zhao Xing remained in the secret manor in Dongyang County for cultivation.
Mainly cultivating Kunpeng Transformation and familiarizing himself with the Divine Weapon.
The clone occasionally entered the Military Realm Star Palace.
To see if King Heavenly Destiny had emerged.
But King Heavenly Destiny seemed to have vanished from the world, completely disappearing.
"What on earth has he gone to do, even neglecting the chance to leave a name in Green History, and what significant event has he encountered." Zhao Xing pondered.
