The bright moon was high in the sky, and the river was sparkling and picturesque under the white snow on both sides of the river.
A small boat went slowly down the river with no one at the helm, leaving it to its own devices.
Just when the bow direction every time deviated, the darkness is like a pair of invisible hands, silently correct the direction, making the boat steady as a rock, no half shaking.
At the bow of the boat, an old man and a young man stood and sat.
The old man opened his mouth from time to time, commenting in that raspy voice on the lengths of today's jianghu martial artists:
"Qianzhou Huang Moya, Inner Strength Great Success, Average Battle Strength, Unrivaled Sneak Attack."
"Boring."
"Xinzhou Tong Kexin, freshman, introductory internal energy, promising future."
"Boring."
"Jizhou Yehe Tu ..."
...
Sparkling river, shimmering darkness, this husky voice narrated, what a picturesque view.
And for every person he critiqued, a light voice answered along with it.
An old man and a young man are so relaxed and casual.
"Ditching Zhao ... s voice suddenly came to a halt, only to see him look downstream for three seconds before he lowered his head and spoke again, "Miss, someone is coming."
Pei Nanqing nodded and didn't make a fuss.
With the vast river and the bright moon, it is not unusual for someone to enjoy the moon in a boat like them.
But just then, a chant drifted in from downstream, and the sound became clearer and clearer:
"Day by day the deep cups of wine are full, and the small beds of flowers bloom;
Sing and dance yourself to your heart's content, and most of all, enjoy being uninhibited."
Two chants fell, Pei Nan Qing in this moonlight, also already can see downstream on the river, there is a person holding a Penny, paddling a light boat, in against the river.
Moreover, the man seemed to be just casually holding up the Penny, but the light boat under his feet was not moving slowly.
"How many spring dreams in the green history, how many wonders in the red dust;
No need to count and arrange, receive and now see in.
Fast and furious ..."
As the man's words fell, the boat and the light boat happened to brush shoulders.
Only then did Pei Nanqing see that under the bright moon, the man was wearing a straw raincoat; in the cold wind and winter, he was wearing a short coat and shorts under the straw raincoat.
As Pei Nanqing looked over, that person also happened to look over.
The man was middle-aged man-like, and after seeing Pei Nanqing's face, although he was briefly stunned for two or three seconds, he quickly paddled his Penny again and disappeared into the vast blackness of the river.
"Apu, recognizable?"
The old man nodded his head, "漴 State Yuan Tiangang, internal strength complete, internal and external cultivation, the most skillful at internal strength to kill the patriarch, if we talk about life and death, he lives, I die!"
"Not even you are an opponent?" Pei Nanqing spoke faintly, resting her chin in one hand, "That's interesting."
After she finished speaking, she glanced back at the direction where the light boat had disappeared and lightly opened her sandalwood mouth, asking with a calm, joyless expression, "Then wouldn't Ling Yi be certain to die against him?"
"The old slave sees that the direction he's going in is Jiangzhou, most likely he's going in response to the Qin family's invitation." The old man stated his judgment and then asked, "Miss, should we turn around?"
Pei Nanqing laughed and shook her head, "No need, that's what makes it fun."
So the boat continued down the river, drifting away in the snowy night ...
------
When Ling Yi returned to the top of Leaping Deer Hill, he saw a person standing on the top of the pseudo hill, wearing a cheongsam, with his hands around his chest, stopping in the cold wind to look at the magnificent night view of Jiangzhou City from afar.
Han Ruoxue heard a movement behind her and saw that it was Ling Yi, so she smiled and walked over.
"Waiting for me?" Ling Yi asked.
"Not really, I've just returned the necessities I need inside, and I didn't stand out for a while before you arrived." Han Ruoxue said with a smile.
Ling Yi nodded, "Thank you."
"You left in a hurry this afternoon and didn't get a chance to change your yard door code and fingerprints, so I'll change them for you now."
Ling Yi didn't refuse and cooperated with Han Ruoxue, changing all the passwords and fingerprints of the huge iron gate to his own.
"Well, it's only now that this Star Picking Building is completely yours." Han Ruoxue guffawed and laughed.
It was obviously worth a billion dollars to give it to someone else, but she didn't feel any pity at all, instead, she felt that it was the best thing she had ever done in her life.
Ling Yi, however, shook his head and said, "It doesn't count yet, it will only count when I transfer the billions to you."
When Han Ruoxue heard this, she couldn't help but give Ling Yi a blank look, but she didn't retort.
She thought about it when she was showering at home after coming down from the mountain, instead of settling the score with Ling Yi, it would be better to make Ling Yi feel like he owes her a billion dollars.
With this bond in place, even if he really couldn't see himself, there was at least a reason to keep in touch with him.
Moreover, a billion dollars, even if Ling Yi is a martial arts grandmaster, it is not something that he can get his hands on so easily.
This time and again, maybe Ling Yi will be fond of himself over time?
"How are you going to go back?" Ling Yi asked.
Han Ruoxue sniffed, knowing that this was Ling Yi's expulsion order, so she pointed to the Paramera parked not far away and said, "Drive."
Ling Yi nodded and without saying anything else, he turned around and entered the courtyard.
Just as he walked into the courtyard, that feeling from before came back, and the aura in his dantian began to spin involuntarily.
Ling Yi forced himself to hold back the throbbing in his dantian and closed the gate before heading inside the villa.
The lights in the villa are all intelligent, the room door just opened and the lights in the living room lit up in turn, and asked Ling Yi if he wanted to help him put water into the bathtub.
Ling Yi rejected the intelligent voice's inquiry and sat straight on the living room carpet that was the size of a basketball court, closed his eyes, and began to look into his dantian internally.
I didn't have the chance to look at it before, but now that I looked at it closely, I realized that the aura spinning in the dantian was going to be one point more than the previous aura with each revolution.
Although this point was too rare and could even be described as insignificant, it shocked Ling Yi greatly.
As I said before, aura spinning itself was a sight that would only appear at the tenth level of Qi Refining;
Whereas aura self-generation was a vision that could only be found at the 12th level of Qi Refining!
In other words, Ling Yi's dantian at this moment was unexpectedly exactly the same as that of the 12th level of Qi Refining!
And at the twelfth level of Qi Refining, once the dantian aura was sufficient, one could break through the shackles and advance to the Foundation Establishment Realm, and only then would one be considered to have truly stepped into the threshold of Immortal Cultivation!
"How come?" Ling Yi frowned, puzzled.
Even though he had been an Immortal Emperor, he had never seen or encountered such a situation in his 100,000 years of Immortal cultivation.
"Could it be that there is some kind of magic treasure hidden in this Star Picking Building?" Thinking so, Ling Yi closed his eyes and used his divine sense to perceive it.
It was just a pity that he didn't know if his current cultivation level was too low, or if there were simply no magic treasures here, anyway, he didn't detect any abnormalities.
"Forget it, it's just helpful for cultivation, there's no need to figure out the so and so for now." Ling Yi withdraws his Divine Sense and no longer thinks about anything else, instead, after stabilizing his mind, he walks out of the villa and looks for stones that can be used for formations in the yard.
Branches were plentiful at the door, so picking a few at random would be enough for a while.
When the materials are collected, Ling Yi leaps onto the roof in a single bound to determine the specific location of each of the formations.
The footprint of the Star Picking Building was much larger than the last time the Spirit Escapement Formation was set up, so it took Ling Yi a bit of time to finish setting up the large formation.
Once all the locations of the Spirit Escapement Formation were set up, Ling Yi returned to the villa's living room and sat down cross-legged again before pinching his hands to activate the formation.
In an instant, an immense and incomparable pattern composed of white light appeared around the Star Picking Building. With Ling Yi's cry of ''Kai'', the pattern shot up into the sky, reaching a height of more than a hundred feet, and then dispersed in all directions.
Unlike the last time, this time after the pattern dispersed, it took a while for it to re-coalesce before it slowly fell back into place.
In the next second, a steady stream of spiritual qi came from the sky, and when Ling Yi, whose moral heart was as firm as a rock, saw this scene, he couldn't help but reveal a heartfelt smile.
However, just as he was about to run the Heaven Swallowing Record, the stone branches that made up the Spirit Escapement Formation suddenly exploded, and the Spirit Escapement Formation instantly disappeared with it.
Ling Yi froze in place for several seconds before he was willing to accept this tear-jerking fact.
"Ugh..." Ling Yi sighed, shook his head and got up, saying to the intelligent voice assistant, "Help me put on the water, I want to take a bath!"
He now has five million in his hand, and it is not that he did not want to buy some golden stones and jade strands to come back to the array before he came back, but he finally gave up this idea, because this money he has another use ---- to buy a house for Qi Shiyun.
He knew Qi Shiyun's nature, even if he told her that he now had a villa, she would neither believe it nor come over to live in it, and would even think wrongly, thinking that it was her own illegal proceeds.
Besides, it was really inconvenient to live here. Therefore, Ling Yi plans to buy a suite in the neighborhood where Qi Shiyun works, so that Qi Shiyun does not need to get up so early to catch the bus every morning.
"This matter of making money has to be tightened up." Ling Yi lay in the bathtub, his mind racing with thoughts.
------
On the river, a light boat was swimming against the current.
Yuan Tiangang, who was dressed in a straw raincoat, was chanting in a longitudinal voice, but he suddenly stopped and tilted his head to look in the direction of the top of Leaping Deer Mountain.
"Hmm?" Yuan Tiangang let out a light suspicion, frowning and looking carefully for several dozen seconds to make sure there was no abnormality before shaking his head and muttering to himself, "Could it be that I'm mistaken?"
When he finished speaking, his brows stretched, then he laughed loudly, "Also, in the mundane world, who has that ability to make such a big commotion?"
