Too much fruit

Chapter 711: Change is Coming
Dinghu School, Qige.

A majestic aura came from the mountain in the center of the island, stirring up the clouds in the sky, causing the surrounding lakes to surge and sometimes obscure the light, making the sky cloudy and clear.

Ever since Elder Yaoguang Pojun of the Seventh Hall returned to his loyal Dinghu Sect and took charge of the Weapon Pavilion more than a year ago, powerful auras have emerged from the island from time to time, causing chaos in the surrounding areas.

In the beginning, some weapon refiners were not used to it and were often disturbed by this energy. But as time passed, they gradually adapted to it. Some even sensed this energy and made breakthroughs in their skills.

It's just that from the past few days, the aura has become more majestic and powerful, and the noise has also become louder and louder. Although it has not affected the equipment refiners who have already adapted to it, it has made them quite uneasy.

As Qi Changsheng walked along the mountain path, the wind and clouds in the sky changed several times. Sometimes the wind rolled up the clouds and the weather was clear, and sometimes the wind and clouds changed drastically, blocking the light of the sky, so that the sky on the island also changed back and forth.

"Elder Jiang...'s skills are becoming more and more unpredictable."

He felt both shocked and delighted. After all, this was the towering tree behind him, and the stronger it was, the better.

In the Liangzhou War, Qi Changsheng's invention of the revolver gun played a significant role. Although he did not fight in the battlefield, his contribution was greater than that of his fellow disciples who fought in the battlefield. Afterwards, Jiang Luo, Jiang Yang and others went to the capital of the gods and were appointed as officials of the Sikong Mansion, while Qi Changsheng returned to the sect and continued to cling to Jiang Li's thigh, and his life was quite comfortable.

"Establishing diplomatic relations with Elder Jiang was truly the wisest decision I have ever made in my life."

As Qi Changsheng thought this, his steps became lighter and soon he arrived in front of a stone house.

Here, an old man who seemed somewhat out of place in the atmosphere of the Qi Pavilion was lying on a soft chair, slowly waving a fan, looking leisurely like an old man basking in the sun.

The environment in the weapon pavilion is extremely hot. Other weapon refiners will only stay here when they are refining weapons. The behavior of the old man is a rare sight.

"teacher."

Qi Changsheng bowed respectfully to the old man.

This old man was none other than Elder Yun who had always instructed him when he was in the outer sect. Even though Qi Changsheng was no longer an A’mon from Wu, he was still extremely respectful to Elder Yun.

"I've told you so many times, I'm just giving you some pointers, there's no need to call you teacher."

Elder Yun stopped fanning himself, looked at Qi Changsheng helplessly, and said, "Besides, even if that's the case, you don't have to be without a master until now. With Jiang's current status, it would be no problem for the old guys in the cave to accept you as a disciple. Why do you have to keep running to me? I don't accept disciples."

Outer sect elders are not qualified to accept disciples.

Qi Changsheng, however, walked behind Elder Yun with a smile on his face, massaged Elder Yun's shoulders, and said nonchalantly: "You also said that Elder Jiang is in a high position now. With him as a backer, even if I don't have a master, it doesn't matter."

"In that case, it would be better not to become my disciple. Besides, I want to be filial to my teacher and provide for him in his old age."

"Oh," Elder Yun chuckled, "I'd better not. I'm not old enough to need someone to take care of me."

Moreover, the master-disciple relationship of this generation of Dinghu Sect is not very good. First, Ling Wujue betrayed his master, then Feng Ziyang ran away, and the leader used tricks on his own disciple.

The three masters and apprentices of Tianxuan appear to have the best relationship on the surface, but in fact their relationship is a mess, with the master being contradicted by his apprentices every day.

Elder Yun felt that he really couldn't bear Qi Changsheng's filial piety.

"What's more, this guy is considered Jiang Li's confidant. He came here to show his filial piety to me? I'm afraid he was ordered by Jiang Li to keep an eye on me." Elder Yun glanced at the sky and thought to himself.

From his angle, he could see the mountain where the Heaven and Earth Furnace was located and the sky above it, without missing a single detail. With Elder Yun's vision as the incarnation of the Great Venerable, he could roughly estimate Jiang Li's skill through the changes in his Qi.

'His power has increased by at least 40% compared to the past. Even Jiang Tao, who was a third-rank master at the time, was only this powerful. Jiang's Qi Tomb may be able to reach the peak of this era in his hands.'

It seemed as if there was another pupil overlapping in Elder Yun’s left eye, and the vertical pupil clearly reflected the changes in his aura and made an estimate.

If we were to say which of the Three Tombs was most affected by the Five Turbidities, it would undoubtedly be the Qi Tombs. The true power of the Qi Tombs lies in the ability to control the boundless Qi with every move, regardless of the human body or the heaven and earth. However, now is the Five Turbidities, and spiritual power is gone, so practitioners can only use their own strength.

Therefore, the so-called infinite energy naturally turns into empty talk and becomes limited. It is also for this reason that the "Qi Tomb" can never be cultivated to perfection.

In comparison, although the "Shape Tomb" and "Mountain Tomb" were also affected, at least they were not as serious as the "Qi Tomb". During the period when the three clans coexisted, the Jiang clan was the weakest.

This was also the reason why the two clans established the Great Zhou, but the Ji clan was the royal family.

And now, Jiang Li actually has the tendency to cultivate "Qi Tomb" to perfection. The Jiang family may reach a new peak under his hands.

"The wind is rising and the clouds are rolling. Changes are imminent." Elder Yun said slowly.

"Ah? What?" Qi Changsheng pinched his shoulders and asked in confusion.

"It's nothing. I just want to say that our Elder Yaoguang seems to have made a breakthrough in his skills. This change in the situation may just be a prelude." Elder Yun said.

Qi Changsheng nodded in approval and said, "My fellow disciples in the weapon pavilion are also a little worried. They are afraid that they will collide with Elder Jiang's aura when refining weapons, which will lead to failure. They all come to ask me. But what can I know, so I want to ask the teacher for advice."

"consult--"

Elder Yun repeated these two words with a half-smile, then suddenly stood up and said, "What else do you want to ask? Get out of the way. Don't go to the island in the next few days. Wait until Xiao Jiang breaks through."

Having said that, he hurried back to the house to pack his things, which surprised Qi Changsheng.

······
······
"It seems that this time, the Great Master is not going to get involved."

Inside the blazing mountain, Jiang Li suddenly spoke up and said, "He has already responded."

His gaze penetrated the thick mountain wall and fell directly on the old man who was packing his things. Jiang Li had already figured out what the other party meant.

"Next, it's the Emperor of Heaven. The Emperor of Heaven sees the Xuanyuan Sword as a threat, so he is naturally paying extra attention to it. He must also be aware of the changes here. I wonder if he will intervene this time."

After more than a year, even if Tianjun's injuries have not yet fully recovered, I think they should be almost there.

"Qi Fen" is good at healing, and since Tianjun also stole the appearance of Shennong, the injuries left by the incarnation of the sky are unlikely to bother him.

And when the Lord of Heaven recovers from his injuries, will he want to test the heavens further?
