From the Valkyrie to the Endless - Page 151

The value of this gem is enough to sustain him for half a lifetime of hard work. There is no need for him to travel around for business anymore.

Treasures that assist in spiritual practice are extremely valuable for the cultivation of future generations. As they are naturally one step ahead of others, even powerful people with profound cultivation cannot avoid cultivating successors, so there is no need to worry about sales.

Lu Jin's own talent for cultivation cannot be considered good, so it would be a waste to keep the orb. He is a businessman, so he naturally knows how to maximize profits.

He disbanded the caravan on the spot, and some of the previously purchased goods were directly distributed to the guards in the caravan as severance pay.

The stronger his desire to start a family became, the less Lu Jin wanted to venture out and explore the world.

In addition to helping Yang Jiong from time to time, he also spent some spirit stones to ask the matchmaker in the city to find a marriage for him.

There were many women in Feiyun City who met his requirements, and within half a month, news came out.

The woman has an introverted personality and speaks in a reserved manner. Although her appearance cannot be described as stunning, she is a pretty girl from a small family.

The subsequent events were a natural progression. Lu Jin had no living elders, so Yang Jiong arranged the marriage for him.

The following year, Lu Jin welcomed his first son.

During this period of time, Yang Jiong took good care of Lu Jin and gave him a lot of guidance on spiritual patterns. Although he was sometimes exhausted, Lu Jin also benefited a lot and touched the threshold of the Gangsha realm.

Gratitude that Yang Jiong had no descendants, Lu Jin named his eldest son Ziying, changed his surname to Yang, and continued the Yang family's bloodline.

Imperial Capital, East Gate.

The god in golden armor sat high on the top of the city wall, with a strong scent of incense and prayers surrounding him. His eyes were like thunder as he scanned the surging crowd below.

After all, the Imperial Capital is different from ordinary cities, and the four city gates are all guarded by divine generals themselves.

Amid the crowd, Shen Qing raised his head slightly and glanced at the God on the city wall.

The god guarding the east gate is none other than the God Tianfeng who was promoted to the rank of God General not long ago.

After leaving Feiyun City, Shen Qing traveled to the twelve capital cities in the Middle Earth and surveyed the spiritual patterns in each city. During this period, she also took time off to return to the Southern Region to copy the spiritual patterns and verify them with each other. It took her nearly two years to finally figure out some of the situations of the Red Blood Molten Star Array under her feet.

Almost all the formations have accumulated enough power. Perhaps because it has just experienced a turmoil, the energy accumulated in the Southern Region is the most abundant.

The spirit gathering arrays set up in the city are all supplying energy to the Red Blood Molten Star Array. Just a spark is missing and the sky will collapse and the earth will split apart in an instant.

Dijing is the center of the entire Red Blood Molten Star Array, with terrifying spiritual patterns faintly flowing all around it, but at the moment it is in a semi-dormant state and does not display much power.

The reason why Shen Qing came to the Imperial Capital was, firstly, to find out the details of the Saint King Jiuyou, and secondly, she received an invitation from True Lord Qingyun to introduce her to several important figures.

With the secret communication among the major sects and many True Lords of the Return to Oneness, an extremely large organization has emerged among the human race. It is led by several strong men at the peak of the Return to Oneness Realm and is called the 'God-killing Alliance'.

The God Tianfeng, who was sitting on the top of the city wall, focused his eyes and sensed Shen Qing's powerful aura. He followed the sensation and looked in the direction he came and met Shen Qing's gaze.

When he saw the familiar face, the God Tianfeng's eyes fixed, and he nodded slightly as a greeting, and then looked away, pretending not to see it.

He was not too curious, and he did not want to ask what Shen Qing was going to do in the Imperial Capital. He had just become a divine general, and keeping a low profile was the right thing to do. Even if Shen Qing caused any trouble in the Imperial Capital, he had the Nine Nether Saint King to support him, so it would not have much impact on him.

Therefore, Shen Qing entered the imperial capital smoothly without any obstruction.

As she had just arrived, she needed a channel for information, and Ji Jingyu, with whom she had had some contact before, naturally became the best channel.

160. Chapter 160 Distinguished Guests

160.

The Zhennan General's Mansion is located in the west of the city, facing north and south. It does not cover a large area and even looks very ordinary. It cannot be associated with the famous Southern Region Pillar of Heaven at all.

The beige courtyard wall is no more than two meters high. On both sides of the gate are two stone sculptures of exotic beasts shaped like Pixiu, with faint spiritual patterns flowing on them. There is a row of soldiers in military armor stationed there.

General Zhennan Zhao Yingnan was also a young prodigy who became famous at a young age. He had an extraordinary talent for cultivation. After entering the court, he first worked in the Demon Slaying Division for a period of time. He repeatedly made outstanding achievements in the Northern Territory. As his cultivation level improved, his official position also became higher and higher.

Before he was a thousand years old, he had already reached the highest position among officials and became a pillar of heaven, ruling over the entire southern region.

If Zhao Yingnan was still in the Southern Region when the famine occurred, the situation would be much better than it is now, at least fewer people would have died.

After finding the Zhennan General's Mansion, Shen Qing handed in a visiting card in the name of December. She did not disguise herself for this trip, so there was no need to hide it anymore.

In a moment, a young woman dressed as a maid came hurriedly, with an apologetic look on her face:

"Please follow me in first and wait for a moment. My young lady is making a scene again and my lady cannot get away for the moment."

The last time Shen Qing saw Ji Jingyu, he had already noticed that she was pregnant. Calculating the time, the child should have been born for some time.

After a cup of tea, a noise came from outside the hall. Ji Jingyu stepped over the threshold, wearing a slightly loose light blue palace dress and holding a little girl in his arms.

The girl looked no more than two years old, as delicate as a piece of jade, with rosy and round cheeks, slightly red eye sockets, slightly wet eyelashes, and tears hanging from her eyes.

"I'm really sorry to have kept you waiting for so long. I don't know what happened today, but this girl was so noisy that she really couldn't leave me alone."

"It doesn't matter."

Shen Qing shook his head slightly, looking at the little girl in Ji Jingyu's arms, feeling inexplicably close to her, and asked one more question:

"What's this child's name?"

"Zhao Yu." Ji Jingyu replied without hesitation.

Shen Qing did not question the theory of reincarnation. With such a coincidence, the girl in front of him was most likely Zhao Yu's previous life.

There seemed to be an inexplicable fate between her and Zhao Yu. No matter what era they were in, there would always be some involvement.

"hug……"

Just as Shen Qing was lost in thought, Zhao Yu, who was held in Ji Jingyu's arms, had already stretched out her hand towards her. The words that came out of her mouth were clearly audible, and her dark eyes were full of joy.

Seeing this, Ji Jingyu couldn't help but be surprised: "This child is not very friendly on weekdays. She didn't react at all when she saw her father."

Shen Qing walked forward slowly, took the initiative to extend his hand, and asked Ji Jingyu for his opinion: "Can I hug her?"

"You are too polite, Senior. You are her savior, so why not?"

Ji Jingyu naturally had no reason to refuse. Without Shen Qing's help, she might not even be alive now, let alone Zhao Yu.

Shen Qing took Zhao Yu and casually told him his real name.

This was the first time she held such a small child. Her breathing became shallower involuntarily, as if if she used a little force, she would accidentally crush the child. Her palms were soft and there was a faint scent of milk.

Zhao Yu wrapped his arms around Shen Qing's neck, moved his body, curled up into a ball, found a comfortable position with ease, his breathing became heavier, and he fell asleep in the blink of an eye.

"You and this child are truly destined to be together."

Suddenly, footsteps were heard outside the hall.

A man in brocade clothes stepped over the threshold, walking with the gait of a dragon and a tiger. He was about thirty years old, with a handsome figure, deep facial features, black eyebrows, and an aura of heroism that was visible to the naked eye.

The energy fluctuations surging from his body were extremely terrifying. Although he was very restrained, Shen Qing still felt a strong oppressive force.

This person's cultivation and combat power are far beyond those gods who died at her hands before, including the gods who have entered the sixth level.

The man in brocade clothes bowed and revealed his identity.

During the period when the Southern Region was reopened, he had asked someone to go to the Southern Region to learn about some information about December.

Today, December's reputation is no longer what it used to be. He has become famous in the Southern Region, and Zhao Yingnan has also heard a lot of rumors about him.

He didn't care about these. Shen Qing was the savior of his wife and children, and he should be treated with courtesy.

Shen Qing looked at the man in front of her, her eyes flickering. This was the first time she met Zhao Yingnan, but from his face, she could already see some similarities with Zhao Yu.

"Zhao has to meet a distinguished guest today. I apologize for my poor hospitality. After I finish the business at hand, I will host a banquet at Baixian Building to formally welcome you. This will also be considered as my hospitality as a host."

Zhao Yingnan did not sit down. After he finished speaking, he left without waiting for Shen Qing to speak. He looked a little hurried, and it was obvious that he had something important to attend to.

Shen Qing roughly estimated the time, and in the blink of an eye it was almost time for the meeting with True Lord Qingyun.

"My husband will be back soon. Why are you in such a hurry? Stay for at least two more days." Ji Jingyu naturally tried to persuade her to stay.

"There is still a long way to go. I will come to visit you again in the future."

Shen Qing responded casually and left the Zhennan General's Mansion.

She would naturally not abandon Zhao Yu and go away. She even planned to live in Dijing for a long time.

The place where True Lord Qingyun met Shen Qing was exactly the Baixian Tower mentioned by Zhao Yingnan.
