Chapter 431: Father-daughter?
Translator: 549690339
In a small courtyard by the stream in Chao Phraya city.
In the secret chamber.
Unlike the space where si honglun mountain was located, this secret chamber was only the size of an ordinary house.
There were only a dozen or so luminous pearls embedded on top of their heads, emitting bright but soft light, illuminating the room.
Zhou Miaoli’s eyes were closed as she sat cross-legged on the futon. Her mana surged around her, and from time to time, there would be a flash of blood light accompanied by strange cries.
She was currently cultivating the [ soul devouring life fusion technique ].
To him, this spell wasn’t too difficult.
After some research, he had almost finished cultivating it.
Surrounded by the blood-red light, the white-robed female cultivator’s face could be seen. On her bun, there was a long red and gold hairpin. It was the only decoration, making her look like a lotus flower carved by nature.
This long hairpin was the magical treasure that si Hongshi had specially prepared for her for this mission. It had the same effect as faceless blood in that it could change one’s appearance and hide one’s identity.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtA moment later, she slowly stopped her cultivation. The cries and blood light around her instantly disappeared.
Zhou Miaoli opened her eyes and scanned it with her divine sense. She immediately ordered, ” “Come in!”
The door not far away was immediately pushed open, and an old man in a brocade robe walked in carefully. He was not tall, and his face was simple and honest, giving people a feeling of honesty and reliability.
“Your subordinate, fan Dechang, greets you ...” He bowed.
“There’s no need for that.” Zhou Miaoli looked at his respectful appearance and frowned. She interrupted him with a deep voice, ” next, you and I will have to play the role of father and daughter. You are fan Dechang, a rogue cultivator born and raised in the Chao Phraya city. Because you are good at doing business, you have quite a lot of money and goods. In the county, you can be considered as one of the more respected people. &Quot;
“I am your only beloved daughter, fan Jusong!”
As she spoke, Zhou Miaoli’s original disguise changed again. Soon, her body size was quietly adjusted, and her face turned from cold and beautiful to charming and charming.
Her eyebrows were shaped like apricots, her face was pink, and her hair was tied up with a colorful silk ribbon. Two-foot-long tassels hung down from her hair, making her look even more lively and beautiful.
Even the White clothes on her body had been changed into a short silk robe embroidered with cinnabar and branches, a Crimson White dress with twelve torn colors, and a pine-green double-sleeved shirt embroidered with gold and embroidered flowers. At her waist, there were even pearls and Jade. Her outfit was gorgeous.
Zhou Miaoli continued, ” the real fan Jusong has already returned to glory sect. Once you cooperate with me to complete this mission, you and your daughter will naturally be able to reunite in glory sect. &Quot;
“From now on, you are my father and I am your only daughter.”
“How can a father speak to his daughter with such respect and fear?”
“Yes!” Fan Dechang hurriedly replied.
He wanted to bow and answer, but Zhou Miaoli’s glare stopped him. He subconsciously straightened his back, took out a Jade slip, and said in a normal tone, ” “This is the name list of all the alchemists who have come to participate in the Grand pill ceremony. We have checked it over and over again and confirmed that it is true.”
Zhou Miaoli nodded and took the Jade slip.
According to si Hongshi’s understanding, there were about three hundred ninth realm alchemists in the entire Chao Phraya city.
More than half of them were alchemists that the dynasty had nurtured, and a small portion were itinerant cultivators from outside.
The number of eighth-realm alchemists had been reduced to only fifty or so. Most of them were students from the county Academy. There were only a few rogue cultivators.
At the level of seventh realm alchemists, the number of people was even more sharply reduced, only a dozen or so.
There were only three unaffiliated cultivators. One was Xie Chang from the nine luminaries mountain and he was in the core formation realm. Qi qiongwu from suzhen heaven, core formation realm; There was also pang Rong, who came from Yan Xi city and was at the peak of the late Foundation establishment stage.
Although the three of them looked like they were still in their youth, they were actually around 70 to 80 years old.
There were eight sixth-grade alchemists, all of whom were native alchemists from the glazed tile Empire Academy.
As for the fifth-grade alchemists, there were only two.
One was the chief Alchemist of Chao Phraya city’s peaceful people’s ship, Nangong su; The other one was the alchemy master, Xun Wu an, who was hired by the best academy in the county, the Chao Phraya Academy, at a high cost.
Of these two, the grandfather of the former was a high official in the Ministry of Revenue. He was born into a noble family. When he was young, it was discovered that he had outstanding talent in alchemy. Under the arrangement of his family, he became the disciple of an alchemy Minister in a certain dynasty. He was a classic example of a famous master and disciple. With Nangong SU’s background and pill Dao attainments, she was only here to gain reputation and qualifications by assuming the role of an min ‘er in Chao Phraya city.
In the future, he would enter the Imperial Academy of Medicine and serve the central administration.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIn fact, if his alchemy skills were to reach a higher level, it would not be impossible for him to imitate his master and become a revered elder of the Empire.
As for Xun Wuhan, he was a typical proud son of a humble family.
He was born in an ordinary family in a small city in the Empire. Within three generations of his family, there was no cultivator. His cultivation talent was also very mediocre, but in the children’s Enlightenment school set up by the dynasty, he was discovered to have excellent talent in alchemy.
They were funded by the public treasury of the small city and cultivated into the best Jade Qilin Academy in the Empire.
In the end, she graduated from the Jade Qilin Academy as the top Alchemist in the past. After a competition between many Academies, she was finally attracted by the many generous conditions offered by the Chao Phraya Academy and chose to come to the local area to work.
Although these two already had official positions in dynasty, they were not yet 100 years old. In order to make their resumes look better, they would definitely not let go of the opportunity to participate in the pill ceremony and obtain a ranking.
And from their experiences, it was clear that these two were formidable opponents of the ceremony!
Above these two, there was a fourth grade Alchemist. He was also the most skilled Alchemist in the entire Chao Phraya County city. His name was tu he, and he was the examiner of this year’s County examination.
After reading it, Zhou Miaoli muttered to herself.
Upon seeing this, fan Dechang quickly added,”the county examination has yet to begin, and there are still very few alchemists in the county capital.” Furthermore, a few days ago, the dynasty changed the rules of the pill debate ceremony. A large number of level five and above alchemists who had already arrived in the county capital were transferred to other counties to be examiners for the preliminaries and the capital examination. It will be difficult for them to make it in the near future.”
“In a few days, there will definitely be more suitable targets.”
&Quot; there are too few targets at the moment. Even if there are suitable ones, they are protected by the cultivators of the dynasty at all times. &Quot;
“It’ll be easier to hide if we wait for the county examination to arrive and the alchemists to gather in the city.”
Zhou Miaoli nodded and said, ” &Quot; I don’t know anything about alchemy. Even if I use the soul devouring life fusion technique to take away the alchemist’s memory and experience, I’m afraid that I’m just watching the fire from the other side of the river. Once I get started, I’ll easily reveal my flaws. &Quot;
“So, find me a real Alchemist and teach me some general skills and tricks.”
“Yes!” Fan Dechang hurriedly replied.
Seeing Zhou Miaoli looking at him, he quickly changed his words. &Quot; okay. &Quot;
