Imperial City District, Xuanming Hall.
Xuanming Hall is built on Xuanming Mountain, with one side adjacent to the cliff. Looking down from the cliff, you can have an overview of the entire imperial capital.
Light clouds and mist rise from the bottom of the cliff, as misty as smoke.
On the edge of the cliff, a middle-aged man wearing an imperial robe and an imperial crown with a majestic face stood with his hands behind his hands, looking into the distance, taking in the entire imperial capital.
This person is none other than the King of Da Qi - Qi Yin!
Next to Qi Yin, there was an old man standing in plain gray clothes, with a few wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, a kind face, and deep eyes.
It is none other than the Imperial Master of Da Qi—Li Shen!
These two people are the two people at the pinnacle of strength and power in Da Qi. They dominate the rise, fall, life and death of countless forces in Da Qi!
At this time, after looking at the prosperous imperial capital for a while, Qi Yin, the king of Qi, suddenly said: "National Master, what do you think of Lin Yun who has newly topped the Qing Yan Ranking?"
Ordinary people at the top of the Qing Yan Ranking are just qualified enough to enter his field of vision, and he doesn't care too much.
But for an evil genius at the level of a peerless genius, not only the Zhou family, Jiange, Academy and other forces need to treat him with caution, but also the royal family.
Li Shen thought seriously for a moment, and then slowly uttered four words: "The dragon among men!"
Hearing this, Qi Yin narrowed his eyes slightly, "Oh? The Imperial Master values him so much?"
"His Majesty!"
Li Shen smiled and said, "You must have investigated Lin Yun's details, right?"
Qi Yin looked at the clouds and mist under the cliff, without answering or commenting.
Li Shen didn't care, and continued: "Lin Yun was born in Nanyun City, which is a remote town. There is nothing special about him. Before he came to take the examination of the Academy, his talent was only average. Although his strength was good in Nanyun City, But looking at the entire Da Qi Kingdom, he can barely be regarded as an ordinary genius!"
"Mediocre!"
"There are countless people like this in Daqi!"
"but--"
"Since he left Nanyun City, in just over two months, his talent and strength have been no less than that of Jian Jiuyou!"
"During this period, he should have received some opportunities and worshiped the Night Ghost King as his teacher, and practiced some high-level exercises and martial arts, so he has the strength he has today."
Speaking of this, Li Shen sighed, "It is precisely because of this that his talent is particularly outstanding!"
"In just over two months, he switched to martial arts and practiced all the extremely high-grade sword techniques to the level of Dacheng or above. It is enough to show that his understanding is far superior to others!"
"Although his spiritual roots are only at the fifth level, with his amazing understanding, his potential is by no means lower than Jian Jiuyou!"
"Even higher!"
"Your Majesty is already a strong warrior in the Martial Realm, so he naturally understands how important understanding is for a warrior!"
"With Lin Yun's amazing understanding, if he can cultivate it, he will definitely be able to soar into the sky and fly to the nine heavens!"
This time Lin Yun swept the Qing Yan Ranking, even his disciple Long Xuan was defeated, and Li Shen was actually surprised.
However, he was relieved when he thought that he had once calculated Lin Yun's fate, but could not calculate it at all.
This kind of destiny is so strange and extraordinary that even he cannot calculate it. It seems that it is not incomprehensible to do such a thing.
But this did not prevent him from appreciating and valuing Lin Yun more.
Therefore, even though he was introducing and analyzing the real situation, his words were full of admiration without concealment.
After listening to Li Shen's words, Qi Yin suddenly looked towards the sea of clouds in the distance, his eyes narrowed even more.
If Li Shen knew this information, he would naturally know it too.
But he didn't recruit Li Shen here to listen to Li Shen's praise of Lin Yun.
But...
"National Master, how do you think the royal family should treat Lin Yun?"
Qi Yin suddenly said softly.
If he were an ordinary evil genius, he would not ask such a question, but Lin Yun received the Golden Feather Order as a gift from the national master, which forced him to pay attention to it.
"Recruited into the palace, canonized as a national scholar, and treated the same as Jian Jiuyou!" Li Shen said without hesitation.
You should do your best to win over such a monster genius!
Hearing this, a cold light suddenly flashed in Qi Yin's eyes, and his voice was majestic and cold, and he said: "National Master, I believe you also know that there is some grudge between Tian Chen and Lin Yun. If you do this, won't you be afraid of raising tigers? ?”
"Your Majesty, don't worry!"
Li Shen said in a deep voice: "I have a way to solve this matter!"
"oh?"
Qi Yin's eyes narrowed slightly, "How to solve it?"
"As far as I know, the enmity between Tianchen and Lin Yun was all caused by the new woman Tianchen acquired named Murong Yan!"
"It is unwise to offend a monstrous genius like Lin Yun for a wanton woman!"
"In my opinion, as long as Murong Yan is handed over to Lin Yun, most of the grievances between Tianchen and Lin Yun will be settled!"
"As for Tianchen joining forces with the Zhou family and Jiange to attack and kill Lin Yun..."
Li Shen frowned, feeling that things were a little tricky.
"This matter is indeed Tianchen's fault!"
"Then what does the Imperial Master think should be done to resolve it?"
Qi Yin looked at Li Shen. Although he was asking, his eyes were extremely calm, even with a hint of indifference.
Li Shen pondered for a moment, then looked at Qi Yin and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, why don't we let the old minister come forward to invite Lin Yun, let Tianchen host the banquet, and apologize to Lin Yun. I believe Lin Yun Yunzi will understand the attitude of Tianchen and the royal family, and will no longer pursue the attack and murder..."
"alright!"
Qi Yin suddenly interrupted Li Shen's words and said with a cold expression: "I'm tired! Imperial Master, please step back first!"
Hearing this, Li Shen was slightly startled.
Looking at Qi Yin, what he saw was Qi Yin's cold and majestic face.
He was silent!
After a moment, he slightly cupped his hands and said, "Then I will leave first!"
After finishing his words, he glanced at Qi Yin again with his deep eyes, then turned and walked towards the foot of Xuanming Mountain.
Wait until Li Shen leaves completely.
However, a cold light appeared in Qi Yin's eyes, and he said coldly: "National Master, National Master, I treat you very well, but you don't think about me and the royal family at all!"
"A dragon among men?"
"Even Tianchen has never received such a high evaluation from you, so how qualified is Lin Yun to receive this honor?"
"You actually asked Tianchen to host a banquet for him and apologize?"
"Tianchen is so outstanding, and he is the prince of Daqi, with a noble status. You actually asked Tianchen to apologize to a mere untouchable. He is worthy of it?!"
Qi Yin's eyes were full of contempt and disdain.
As the king of Da Qi, he has seen countless geniuses, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a crucian carp crossing the river!
But how many people can grow up in the end?
He himself is a peerless genius, and he understands more deeply that genius is just genius, and there is an unbridgeable gap between him and the strong!
Even with his talent and the full support of the royal family, it is not easy to break through to the martial arts realm, let alone others!
Even if Lin Yun is really talented, even if he does not have a massive supply of resources to support him, he still breaks through to the Martial Lord realm, but he still has to surrender to their royal family!
"National Preceptor, I know you can predict other people's fortunes. This kid may indeed be a bit extraordinary, but you forgot..."
"This is Da Qi Kingdom!"
A sneer appeared on Qi Yin's majestic face, "This is my world!"
"Don't say that kid just has some talent, what if that kid is really a real dragon?"
"In Daqi, I am the genius!"
"Even if he is a real dragon, he still has to be coiled up by me, and even if he is a divine tiger, he still has to be laid down by me!"
"One word from me can determine his life or death!"
Qi Yin looked at the entire imperial capital, slowly clenched his palms, as if he held the fate of everyone in the entire Qi Kingdom in his hands, and sneered: "It's just an ant, and it doesn't deserve Tianchen's help." Is he apologizing? Is he worthy of my royal family bowing to him?"
"ridiculous!"
Qi Yin's sneer full of contempt and disdain echoed on Xuanming Mountain, causing the sea of clouds to roll and the birds and beasts to scatter.
…
Imperial City District.
There are a few bamboo houses and a few green willow trees on a low mountain with a height of 100 meters, and the environment is quiet.
This is the residence of the Imperial Master.
This short mountain is also called Yanwei Mountain by the forces in the imperial capital!
After leaving Xuanming Hall, Li Shen returned to Yanwei Mountain, his expression a little heavy.
Qi Yin finally interrupted him suddenly and asked him to step back. He knew that Qi Yin was angry!
Moreover, he is very angry!
Otherwise, I wouldn’t be so rude to him!
Qi Yin lost his temper with him, but he actually didn't care and didn't care much.
The reason why he looked solemn was because Qi Yin's move obviously did not want Qi Tianchen to reconcile with Lin Yun, and the royal family did not want to recruit Lin Yun, and might even suppress Lin Yun.
Once this happens, the contradiction will inevitably be intensified again!
When the time comes, Lin Yun and the royal family will definitely face each other head-on, and he has no idea who will win and who will lose!
In terms of strength, Lin Yun is naturally far inferior to the royal family.
But even he couldn't predict Lin Yun's fate in the slightest. How could such a person be so simple?
According to his thoughts, he naturally wanted to try his best to resolve the conflict and prevent Lin Yun from completely confronting the royal family.
But Qi Yin obviously doesn’t agree!
"Is it true that we must live up to that motto and prosper and then decline..."
Li Shen sighed.
Da Qi has developed rapidly in the past hundreds of years, and its national power has been booming. Now, it is one of the strongest countries among the surrounding countries!
The national power is far greater than before!
The national destiny is also extremely prosperous, and even an emperor star has been born!
He originally thought that Da Qi would soar into the sky and take advantage of the opportunity of the Emperor Star to develop to a whole new level!
But looking at it now, it is clearly a sign of prosperity and decline!
"well……"
Li Shen sighed heavily and looked at the sky.
Although it was not night yet, under the operation of astrology, he could still see the stars representing Da Qi, but it was not as clear as night.
"The Emperor's Star is dim and almost withered, and the destiny of the country is also on the verge of collapse. Is Daqi really going to perish..."
Li Shen frowned, his eyes full of solemnity and complexity.
"Master!"
At this time, a bead-like voice suddenly sounded.
Li Shen quickly suppressed his sadness, turned to look at Long Xuan who was walking over, and said with a smile: "Xuan'er, temporary success or failure is nothing. With your talent and hard work, it is still very possible to reach the Martial Master Realm in the future. Yes, don’t worry too much about the gains and losses!”
Hearing this, Long Xuan didn't speak. She was silent for a moment, and then suddenly said: "Master, I want to practice astrology!"
"Practice astrology?"
Li Shen looked stunned for a moment, then his expression turned solemn and he said in a deep voice: "Xuan'er, have you made your decision?"
Astrology is extremely strange. If you don't practice to the level of Dacheng, your lifespan will be reduced when you use astrology.
He just couldn't master astrology when he was young, and he used it frequently, which cost him too much life span and damaged his foundation. That's why he has been stuck at the perfect level of the Divine Palace Realm, and has been unable to break through to the Martial Master Realm!
Long Xuan had always rejected the practice of astrology because of this in the past, but unexpectedly, she now took the initiative to practice astrology.
"Master, I have thought about it!"
Long Xuan nodded solemnly and clenched her jade hands gently.
Jian Jiuyou and Lin Yun both passed her one after another. If she continued as before, no matter how hard she tried, she might not be able to catch up with these two people and would be left far behind.
Only astrology could give her a chance of catching up with these two people.
After hearing Long Xuan's words, Li Shen fell into deep thought.
As long as astrology is practiced to the level of Dacheng, there is no need to consume lifespan for calculations. Unless you forcefully measure people or things that contain huge fortunes or are far beyond your ability, lifespan will be reduced.
As long as you control it well, you don't have to worry too much.
"Okay, Xuan'er, I'll pass on this astrology to you! Remember, don't use astrology until it's successful!"
Li Shen nodded in agreement, and after giving instructions, he took out a glass bead the size of an egg, like a miniature star, from his storage bag and handed it over.
"Thank you Master!"
After Long Xuan gave a slight salute, she reached out and took the glass ball.
And when the glazed ball touched Long Xuan's jade hand, a bright light suddenly lit up, dazzling the eyes.
However, facing this scene, neither Long Xuan nor Li Shen's expressions changed at all, they were used to it.
Long Xuan was originally chosen for this astrology inheritance, but Long Xuan rejected it and was unwilling to practice.
"I finally learned..."
Li Shen sighed inwardly.
He has practiced astrology, and naturally he has also calculated fortunes for Long Xuan. He is indeed similar to ordinary people. There are no waves and he can see the end at a glance.
Compared with those who have great fortunes, whose fates are ups and downs, and full of uncertainties, they are extremely ordinary.
But there was one thing that he never told his apprentice. When he calculated Long Xuan's fate for the first time, he saw nothing but an ordinary fate with few twists and turns.
I also saw it in a trance - a pair of eyes that were brighter than the stars in the sky!
"Is it Xuan'er's past or her future..."
Li Shen's mood was complicated.
After the first calculation, no matter how he calculated it, he could no longer see those eyes, as if it was just his hallucination.
This was also the reason why he didn't tell Long Xuan.
But now that Long Xuan wanted to learn astrology, he couldn't object, so he could only let nature take its course.
…
The next day.
early morning.
The sun is shining brightly.
Cave Peak No. 46.
Lin Yun walked out of the concealing formation and stretched, exuding a powerful aura at the sixth level of the Yuan Dan realm.
