Chapter 75: Qin Mu’s Properties (2/2)

Incense Master Han had a troubled expression, ”Young Master, it's not that subordinate don't want to let the blind man win, it's just the blind man cheated publicly with an underhanded method. If he wasn't so open about it, I would have closed an eye.”

Qin Mu was bewildered, ”How did he cheat?”

Incense Master Han replied, ”When playing dominoes, whenever the blind man got a bad draw, he would point to the window and say there was a divine bird outside before changing his domino openly in front of everyone's eyes. In addition, the dominoes he took out from his pocket were green in color when all our dominoes are black in color. I am really helpless, may I request Young Master to assign me something simpler.”

Qin Mu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He kept silent for a moment before saying, ”Let him win a few rounds, if he cheats again then just beat him slightly softer.”

”Subordinate understood.”

Incense Master Han turned around to leave and Qin Mu composed himself. The entire Border Dragon City's property is his? More than half of the people here belonged to him?

When did he become such a rich and powerful man in this world?

”Heavenly Devil Young Cult Master sure has a great name. Using this as a comparison to the thousand dragon coins I had earned yesterday, that really wasn't really much.

He felt very weird. Was Fu Yundi the Border Dragon City Lord or was it him?

Furthermore, since granny had killed Fu Yundi and was wearing his skin, doesn't this mean that the entire Border Dragon City was his?

He had a preposterous feeling and shook his head as he walked out of the inn to stroll around. Yesterday night he had only seen the ancient temples near the City Lord's Manor. This time he planned to visit the dragon pillars of Border Dragon City.

Border Dragon City was so big yet these dragon pillars could protect this territory from the darkness invasion, therefore they should be remarkable.

Qin Mu opened his Heaven's Eyes and inspected the dragon pillar in front of him while exclaiming in admiration. The sculpture on the dragon pillar was a dragon god that was extremely huge. The size of the dragon was nearly as huge as the remnant of the dragon king's bones he saw in Surging River Dragon Palace.

These dragon gods coiled around the stone pillars that were a hundred yards wide and were very sculpted vividly. The stone pillars were five hundred yards tall therefore one could imagine how huge the divine dragons were.

Qin Mu raised his head and the dragon gods on the dragon pillars seemed to have turned alive. Even though the dragons seemed to look fierce, they also had a divine and majestic atmosphere.

”In the maps of Great Ruins, this city wasn't Border Dragon City and was Heavenly Dragon Star Palace. This was the art of a divine being and if I could study the path of the vein lines on the sculpture, it would be a great benefit to my painting and calligraphy. I might even comprehend the technique of the divine person!”

Qin Mu became exhilarated and slowly inspected the composition of the vein lines on the dragon pillar. Even though the divine being that sculpted the dragon pillars didn't wish to incorporate his technique into them, the path of the sculpture involuntarily beared the mark of his divine arts techniques. To other people, they might just be a relief sculpture, but because Qin Mu learned calligraphy and painting from Blind, he deeply understood the principle within.

”In the map of Great Ruins, beside the Heavenly Dragon Star Palace was the Star Sea that was no more than seventy miles away from here. Judging from the name, Heavenly Dragon Star Palace should be the place where Heavenly Dragons stayed. With this place being so vast, could this be the place where the dragon race gathered? The darkness invasion also turned the dragon race into ruins.”

Qin Mu looked around and sighed with sorrow. Suddenly an astonished cry came from above, ”Cowherd, how come are you are still at Border Dragon City?”

Qin Mu heard a familiar voice and raised his head towards the voice. He saw a small head popping out from the dragon pillar and it was the girl who brought him into the City Lord's Manor to eat for free.

Ling Yuxiu waved her hand at him and her voice traveled, ”Are you able to come up?”

Qin Mu looked at the height of the pillar and hesitated. The stone pillar was too high and now that there's no wind to borrow strength from, he could only run up along the pillar.

He could run up mountain cliff but mountain cliff was normally a hundred to a hundred fifty yards tall. He had yet to try running five hundred yards vertically upwards.

Qin Mu moved back a dozen of steps. He suddenly gathered strength below his soles and ran towards the dragon pillar. In just a few steps, his speed was pushed to its maximum and he rushed towards the dragon pillar like a flickering light. His feet then stepped on the dragon pillar like flat ground and he sprinted upwards!

His speed and burst were astonishing as he sprinted three hundred over yards in one shot towards the peak of the dragon pillar!

”Crap, I can't make it up…”

Qin Mu felt the burst of strength reaching its limit as his speed started to slow down. He was still ten to fifteen yards away from the peak of the dragon pillar.

He managed to rush another ten meters up before he ran out of strength and his body started to drop down. At this moment, a ribbon hung down from the top of the dragon pillar and coiled around his wrist. With a gentle tug, he was pulled upwards.

Qin Mu did a flip in mid-air and landed on the peak of the dragon pillar. Looking around, he saw that this place was actually very smooth like a huge stone platform. A dragon's head was sculpted on the south side of the platform which could be accessed from the stone platform.

Ling Yuxiu came forward and uncoiled the ribbon on his wrist while smiling, ”You actually ran up here. Didn't you know? There's a set of stairs inside the dragon pillar you can come up from.”

Qin Mu looked at her ribbon and was astonished, ”The quality of the ribbon isn't bad.”

”Of course.”

Ling Yuxiu was extremely proud of herself, ”This is weaved by Nature Fragrance Silk which are offerings to the emperor. Of course, they are of the best quality. Take a sniff, it's very fragrant. It's the fragrance of nature and would never disperse.”

Qin Mu lowered his head to take a sniff and there was indeed a fragrant odor. He then smiled, ”I also have a sweat towel that is weaved by Nature Fragrance Silk, it has the same fragrance. ” Once he said that, he took out the 'sweat towel' from his chest.
