Chapter 206 Old Sword Master Yu's Purpose of Entering Beijing
Jiang Qingyu sighed helplessly.

It is undoubtedly very dangerous to open up a new road, especially the first person to try the law with his own body is almost determined to die!

The King of Rejecting Bei didn't intend to tell himself, because he was afraid that he would be too eager and try his own way.

This he can understand.

"Father, I won't mess around!"

"please believe me!"

Jiang Qingyu promised.

But the King of the North refused to let go, and looked to the south, with a flash of reminiscence on his face:
"Qingyu, when your mother was taken to the capital 12 years ago, she repeatedly told me to take good care of you. If you die because of deriving my law..."

"What face will Ben Wang have in meeting Wan'er and Qing Shu in the future?"

"..."

Jiang Qingyu sighed softly, speechless.

He knew that he couldn't convince the other party.

King Jubei patted his son on the shoulder and said:

"You don't have to be too eager, the most important thing for you right now is entering Beijing!"

"My king's suggestion is..."

"I won't go because of my illness."

Reaching for the stars to enter the capital is too dangerous!

What's more, Jiang Qingyu is still a crouching dragon, and for Jing Yang, it is a great medicine that is infinitely tempting!

But Jiang Qingyu shook her head:
"Father, I want to go!"

"Jing Yang may not be able to see through my fiction!"

He had thought about it, as long as he didn't use his Yin body in the capital, no one would be able to find his flaws.

For hundreds of years, Jing Yang has been practicing in closed doors. For an existence like him, if he does not reach the Star Reaching Realm, he is just an ant. It is not worth taking a look at it!
Therefore, as long as I don't show strength beyond common sense, I don't expect to attract this person's attention.

This time, the King of Rejecting the North did not dissuade him:

"Just think it over."

"Father knows that you are very confident in your own methods, but you must not be arrogant in everything, especially when facing an old immortal who has opened up the Dragon Raising Realm, you can't be too cautious!"

Jiang Qingyu nodded slightly, indicating that she would pay more attention.

At this time, King Jubei looked in the direction of Qianjian Lake again, and a look of helplessness flashed across his eyes:
"finally……"

"It's still come this far!"

"Qingyu, do you know why this king chose to subdue Beidi at this time and make you his son?"

Jiang Qingyu was slightly taken aback:
"Why?"

"Is it to reduce the royal family's suspicion of you?"

"Do not."

King Jubei was silent for a while, and revealed another secret:
"Because your master, Sword Master Yu Yi, is also deriving a new path just like this king!"

"Although the two of us are not walking the same path, we have encountered a bottleneck almost at the same time, and have doubts about our understanding of the fifth product."

"That's why this king couldn't wait to make you his son, let you enter the capital ahead of time to compete with Fan Yu, and at the same time..."

"Jiansheng Yu will also accompany you to Beijing, and the ultimate purpose of his trip is..."

"Challenge Jing Yang, meet the real fifth grade, and use this to confirm his and this king's thoughts!"

Challenge Jing Yang?

Jiang Qingyu couldn't help but tremble all over.

He admitted that Old Sword Master Yu is a swordsman who can realize swordsmanship by picking up branches on the mountain. In terms of talent, he may not be much worse than Jing Yang who opened up the Dragon Raising Realm.

But after all, it has only been seven years since he was promoted to the Star Reaching Realm, no matter how talented he is, he wouldn't be able to cultivate to the peak of the Star Reaching Realm all at once, right?
But if he wasn't at the peak of this realm, how dare he challenge Jing Yang, who is innately fifth rank?

Jiang Qingyu asked curiously:
"Old Sword Master Yu, what is your current cultivation level?"

Mentioning this matter, the King of the North could not help showing admiration in his eyes:
"The talent of Sword Master Yu Yi is something I have only seen in my life!"

"He is a pure swordsman. He is never disturbed by distracting thoughts. He only pursues the ultimate swordsmanship, so the improvement of his cultivation base is very terrifying!"

"So much so that three months ago..."

"He has entered the late stage of Star Reaching Realm."

"..."

Jiang Qingyu was dumbfounded.

In just seven years, from the beginning of the Star Reaching Realm to the late stage of the Star Reaching Realm?

He finally saw what a real son of heaven is!

"Such a genius, give the old sword master a few more years, I am afraid that the world will really have a second and fifth rank!"

He paused for a moment, and then said puzzledly:

"But even in the late stages of the Star Reaching Realm, there is still an insurmountable gap with the Dragon Raising Realm. Why should the old sword master wait a few more years, and challenge Jing Yang after his cultivation reaches the peak of this realm?"

"Go at this time, aren't you afraid of death?"

"and……"

"Jing Yang is selfish, and will never allow anyone to become the fifth rank like him and share the luck of the world! Once he recognizes the talent of the old sword master, he will definitely choose to go all out to kill him!"

"If you ask me, the old Juggernaut shouldn't have gone!"

Go, is to die!

The King of Rejection gave a wry smile:
"This king also advised me in the same way, but the old sword master is very stubborn."

"He said that in order to help future generations open up a path of sword cultivation that goes directly to the fifth rank, he must personally experience the strength of the rest of the fifth rank, otherwise he may go astray!"

"to this end……"

"He will die!"

"..."

Jiang Qingyu sighed for a while.

To open up a path of sword cultivation straight to the fifth level for future generations, the old sword master has such a heart, no less than a generation of sages!
"After I enter Beijing, what should I do to help him?"

"You don't have to do anything."

Rejecting the North King's exhortation:

"After entering Beijing, first go to see your mother and eldest brother, then follow the rules, go up to the court, meet Jing Hong and Prince Jing Yuan, and then go to visit a few court officials who are friends with this king... ..."

"You don't need to expose your master-student relationship with Yu Yi!"

"For the comparison with Fan Yu, you can find another reason. For example, Jing Hong wants to marry your eldest maid Lichun to Fan Yu, which is a good excuse."

Hearing the word "Lichun", Jiang Qingyu couldn't help showing tenderness on his face.

That was the woman who had lived with him for 12 years in Ziyanyuan!

I don't know how she is currently in the palace. Is the koi that was brought to the capital still alive?

He sighed lightly, and said puzzledly:

"Since I don't need to do anything, why did the old sword master come to Beijing with me?"

"He can go to Beijing alone to challenge Jing Yang at any time?"

King Rejecting Bei frowned slightly:
"This king is also not clear about this matter."

"But this is the insistence of Sword Master Yu Yi."

"Perhaps, he has the ambition to die, so he wants you, the only apprentice, to watch the ceremony from the sidelines, so that even if he falls, he can pass on all the knowledge he has learned and the understanding of the fifth grade before he dies. "

"Besides, it will be good for you to witness this battle with your own eyes. Once you see the strength of raising a dragon, it will be much easier whether you choose Yu Yi's path of sword cultivation or this king's path of true dragon in the future!"

"..."

Jiang Qingyu was silent for a while.

It seems that King Jubei is also not very optimistic about this battle, and he doesn't even have much confidence in his promotion to the fifth-rank True Dragon Realm.
He pinned the rest of his hopes on himself.

"Father..."

Jiang Qingyu thought about it, and still expressed some personal opinions:

"You also saw it today. In fact, I just entered the Star Reaching Realm not long ago, but I suppressed Du Heng who was at the peak in the middle of the Star Reaching Realm in terms of strength. This is not because my moves are too subtle, but..."

"I borrowed the power of the incense wish!"

"Perhaps, to advance to the fifth rank, you also need to collect enough incense wish power!"

Unexpectedly, King Rejecting Bei shook his head:

"Every path to the fifth rank is different."

"A craftsman in the realm of unity draws divine fire into his body, a Confucian scholar in the realm of saints inspires righteousness, and the founding emperor of the Yue Kingdom in the realm of Tianzi breaks through the realm with the luck of a country..."

"Only in the Buddha's realm of Buddhism can the golden body of the Bodhisattva be condensed with the power of incense and fire vows!"

"The way of this king and Yu Yi is the same as Jing Yang's raising a dragon. The power of incense and fire can only add to the cake, but it is not the key point!"

"but……"

He changed the subject:
"If you are in urgent need of incense and wish power, this king has a suggestion."

Jiang Qingyu hurriedly asked:
"Please enlighten my father."

The battle with Du Heng consumed [-]% of the incense and fire power he had accumulated during this period.

In other words, if he fights Du Heng again right now, he will probably lose!

But as long as he has inexhaustible incense and vows, he is sure that he will not be afraid of anyone under the fifth rank!

even……

When Old Sword Master Yu challenges Jing Yang, give him a helping hand!
But based on his current status and prestige, the daily offerings of incense are extremely limited, and even adding the part of Beidi incense that he will receive from Master Liu Jie in the future, it is far from satisfying his appetite!
Therefore, we must find another way to collect!

"Today, incense in the world is roughly divided into three parts, Confucianism, Buddhism, and the royal family each lead one."

The King of Rejecting the North spoke eloquently:
"The incense of the royal family was acquired by Jing Hong and Jing Yang, and outsiders cannot take it away."

"The incense of Confucianism is monopolized by Mr. Xun Yong of the Jixia Academy. The Academy is located in the capital and is protected by the imperial power. Outsiders cannot take it away."

"So, we can only start from Buddhism!"

"Buddhist incense is mainly occupied by the two temples in the north and the south. Although the Sun Watching in Beishan Temple is only at the peak of the Sunshine Realm, with the blessing of endless incense, its strength is enough to reach the stars!"

"As for Nanshan Temple..."

Jiang Qingyu knew that in a few years, Abbot Shanxuan of Nanshan Temple would pass away.

But he didn't want to take advantage of others' danger, let alone avenge his kindness.

"Nanshan Temple has a good relationship with us. My mother often went to burn incense and pray. Master Liujie helped me a lot in subduing Beidi. Isn't it inhumane to snatch their incense?"

Unexpectedly, the King of Rejection said:
"What is snatching?"

"No, on the contrary, this king is helping them!"

"Abbot Shanxuan didn't have a few years to live, and now he insists on opening an altar to teach Buddhism, so there is not much life left."

"Once he passed away, the Six Precepts is only the first day of the Lunar New Year, and it will not be able to suppress the viewing of the sun at Beishan Temple, nor can it change the decline of Nanshan Temple!"

"Additionally, Liujie preaches in Beidili Temple and sits in Xiaonanshan Temple, so he probably won't return to the Central Plains for a few years."

"So, Nanshan Temple is still facing the problem of no successor!"

Having said that, King Jubei paused for a moment.

The next moment, he looked at Jiang Qingyu with a playful look on his face:
"Qingyu, do you want to be the next abbot of Nanshan Temple?"
