Fang Yu walked into the courtyard of the Ji family again.
Ji Rumei caught up and handed the bag of clothes to Fang Yu, whispering, “Mr. Fang… thank you for everything today.”
Fang Yu glanced at Ji Ruimei.
Under the moonlight, Ji Ruomei’s face did not dim because of the dim light, but instead, under the moonlight, it emitted a holy aura.
This scene, Fang Yu always felt like he had experienced it before.
The same face, the same scene.
Fang Yu’s heart skipped a beat, and he immediately shifted his gaze to the side.
“I’m leaving. If you ever come to Beidu, feel free to contact me.” Fang Yu said.
“Good, good!” Ji Ruomei’s eyes lit up as she asked, “Mr. Fang…are you inviting me?”
Fang Yu did not answer Ji Ruimei’s words, and activated the Kong Ling Ring.
“Whoosh!”
Two seconds later, Fang Yu vanished from sight.
Ji Ruomei stood there for a moment, biting her red lips, then turned and walked back into the house.
……
Just as Fang Yu landed, the Void Devourer emerged from his pocket and dashed toward the distant hills.
“When did you get into my pocket?” Fang Yu looked at the direction where the Void Devourer had left, his brow slightly furrowed.
It is almost eleven o’clock at night.
It was very quiet, with the lights still on in the bamboo houses.
Fang Yu jumped onto the third floor of the bamboo building and walked into his room.
His room was simply furnished, consisting of a bed woven from bamboo and a table.
Fang Yu sat down at the table, just about to reach into his pocket to take out the Ruyi Qinglian he had received from He Ruju.
Before he could even make a move, his heart skipped a beat.
Just now… the Void Devourer came out of this pocket.
Fang Yu’s face changed, and he immediately reached into his pocket.
But surprisingly, the Ruyi Qinglian was still there.
Fāngyǔ took it out.
When one’s hand directly touches the lotus, one feels a sense of peace and tranquility, quite comfortable.
Fang Yu placed the Qinglian on the table.
Only then did Fang Yu have the opportunity to observe the blooming blue lotus seriously.
There are seven lotus leaves in total, which are green.
At the heart of the flower, a faint blue light shimmered.
The aura of this blue lotus is a comforting one, originating as if from the very heart of the flower.
“What on earth is this? Herb or artifact?” Fang Yu narrowed his eyes, thinking to himself.
The Ruyi lotus, placed on the table, looked like a small lamp.
Fang Yu thought for a moment and activated his Insight Eye.
In his vision, the Ruyi Qinglian transformed into a pure beam of light.
As can be seen, the center of the lotus… that is to say, the position of the pistil, is where the light shines the brightest.
Here… lies immense power.
Fang Yu’s eyes returned to normal, he extended his right hand, and once again held the Qinglian in his palm.
“How on earth is it used? Even He Ruju didn’t explain clearly before leaving.” Fang Yu muttered to himself.
But just as he was speaking, a warm current suddenly flowed through his palm.
Fang Yu raised his eyes and saw that Ruyi Qinglian had actually transformed into a beam of light, slowly seeping from his palm.
After permeation, it was like warm liquid, flowing from Fang Yu’s palm, moving through the meridians at a balanced pace.
Fang Yu immediately closed his eyes and looked inward.
Then, he saw a flash of blue light flowing along his meridians.
Soon, it circulated one cycle within the meridians.
The meridian barrier, illuminated by the azure light, became more crystalline and translucent, almost transparent, with a faint glimmer.
And this streak of azure, after flowing for one cycle, did not stop, but continued to flow.
Fang Yu stood still, observing the trajectory of the flowing green light.
But after five consecutive cycles, the azure light continued to flow ceaselessly.
“Isn’t this going to stop?” Fang Yu’s eyes twitched.
Next, he observed the gleam of blue for another three hours.
The azure glow continues to flow at the same speed within the meridians.
This is just like the circulation of true qi, never ceasing.
Just that, besides feeling a warmth in my meridians, I didn’t feel any other effects from its continuous flow.
The legacy of a powerful being from the last era, is this all it amounts to?
No way?
Fāng Yǔ ultimately still accepted reality, withdrawing his divine consciousness and no longer observing the operation of the azure light.
Although its specific effect wasn’t apparent, the Ruyi Qinglian only brought him a sense of comfort and didn’t seem to cause any harm.
Fang Yu got up and prepared to lie down on the bed.
Just then, he suddenly noticed that a mark appeared on the palm of his right hand.
Fang Yu held his right palm in front of him and saw that the mark on his palm was a pattern of a lotus flower!
It appears in a pale hue, and if you don’t look closely, you wouldn’t notice it.
And the location of the lotus pattern is precisely where the Ruyi Qinglian has just seeped into his body.
Fang Yu tried to wipe away the mark with his left hand, but he found that the mark had been imprinted beneath the skin and could not be erased.
“What in the world is this?” Fang Yu frowned.
……
The next morning, Rao Donghai came to the door again.
Fang Yu went straight to the door to meet him.
“Mr. Fang, Old Bai sent me to ask about yesterday’s situation.” Rao Donghai said.
“Don’t you have surveillance on all entrances to ancient ruins? You should have seen what happened yesterday. Why are you here to see me?” Fang Yu raised an eyebrow and asked.
“We did see… that mysterious man in black didn’t appear.” Rao Donghai said.
“Then why did you come to ask me?” Fang Yu frowned and asked.
“Bai Lao sent me here, mainly to ask if there are any other developments…” Rao Donghai said softly.
“Oh… you want to know what’s inside the ruins?” Fang Yu narrowed his eyes slightly and said.
“Lao Bai only suspects…that the mysterious person might use other ways to conceal their figure and enter the ruins.” Rao Donghai said.
“I didn’t see him in the ruins either.” Fang Yu replied directly.
“That’s how it is…” Rao Donghai nodded, his face grave.
Fang Yu said no more.
Rao Donghai pondered for a moment in place and said, “In that case, I will go back to report this matter to Elder Bai.”
After that, Rao Donghai bid farewell and turned to leave.
Fang Yu watched his back and suddenly remembered something, so he followed him.
“Let’s go back together. I have something I want to ask him.” Fang Yu said.
Rào Dōnghǎi was taken aback, but didn’t say much.
Two people walked together and soon arrived at the Sky-Peering Bureau.
Bai Konggu was sitting in the inner courtyard, his expression equally grave.
Upon seeing Fang Yu and Rao Donghai arrive together, his expression shifted slightly.
“Old Bai, Mr. Fang didn’t see the mysterious man either,” Rao Donghai stepped forward and said.
Bai Konggu gently nodded and looked at Fang Yu, asking: “Why are you here?”
“I’d like to ask you about what happened on the island of Dongri in the past two days. Have you heard anything about it?” Fang Yu asked.
Eastern Island? <<<
Baikonggu and Raodonghai looked at each other.
The scope of the Skywatcher Bureau’s surveillance is limited to the Summer Realm.
I don’t know much about foreign lands.
Especially recently, the Sky-Peering Bureau has been quite busy, with all their efforts focused on finding that mysterious man in black and monitoring the remaining thirty or so entrances to the ancient ruins.
“Looks like you two don’t know.” Fang Yu said, seeing the expressions on Bai Konggu and Rao Donghai.
“We truly don’t understand the situation in that foreign land,” Bai Konggu said.
“Then you can look into the big event happening on Tojo Island now, it might be related to the mysterious black-clad man you’re looking for.”
After that, Fang Yu turned and left.
Before leaving, Fang Yu cast one last glance at the so-called Immortal Ascension Tablet.
Those five, clearly strange yet immediately understandable runes, still remained at the very bottom of the stone.
The vast, desolate expanse of Dajiao Mosi.
Where does this name come from, and what does it mean?
With doubts, Fang Yu left the Peeking Heaven Bureau.
“Lao Bai, can we believe what Mr. Fang said…?” Rao Donghai asked.
“Never mind the details, just send someone to investigate what happened on Dōri Island first.” Bai Konggu frowned and ordered.
“Good.” Rao Donghai immediately turned and left.
The courtyard, only Bai Konggu remained.
Fang Yu didn’t run into the man in black…
This way, an ancient relic would be wasted again for nothing.
This is of little consequence to BICC.
But those old geezers up there… are definitely going to start complaining again.
