Chapter 174: Adopt

Translator: NinetalesEditor: Fish_Creek

The little fox in Qin Mu's backpack couldn't resist popping her head out to say, ”This Senior Brother Fan, didn't you ever think that you would run a few more trips ferrying passengers to earn more money since your ship is three to five times faster now? There is no need for you to rob.”

Fan Yunxiao rolled his eyes at Hu Ling'er, ”Why so troublesome? Now that my ship is fast enough, I would be able to rob fast enough. I could only rob once a day before, now I can rob three to five times a day. The money from robbing is so much more than ferrying passengers. During times of peace, there are more merchant ships, therefore, we need to rob during times of peace. Now that there's war, there are lesser merchant ships, therefore, we're ferrying passengers. Little fox demon, you don't have the brains for business.”

Hu Ling'er was completely speechless.

The speed of the ship was too fast and the ship was already giving off creaking sounds. It was getting harder for the ship to bear the wind pressure caused from flying forward. Fan Yunxiao became nervous again and fortified the ship with a few bandits by using runes transformed by vital qi to mark the hull of the ship.

Qin Mu's heart was alarmed. Now he was also afraid that this ship would crumble into pieces any moment.

Luckily on the way there, the ship never broke down in mid-air.

On their way there, they encountered a few more battlefields but because the speed of Cloud Chasing Pirate Ship was too fast, before the two sides could even see what it was, the ship had already flown past, inevitably making them indescribably stunned.

Fan Yunxiao was also indescribably stunned. The pill furnace created by Qin Mu was simply too strong and according to this flying speed, the seven to eight days journey to the capital city now would just take them over a day.

However, even though the pill furnace Qin Mu created was good, it consumed much more spirit stones and herbs.

When they reached the capital city, it was already the morning of the next day. The ship slowed down its speed and the spirit stones on the ship were more or less depleted. The ship gradually descended and landed in the vehicles and mounts market in the capital city.

The official in the vehicles and mounts market went forward to check and his expression immediately changed hugely when he saw Fan Yunxiao. He was about to call for constables to arrest him when Fan Yunxiao immediately explained, ”I've turned good, turned good! This is our ship's official record!”

That official took a look and it was really an official record from the imperial court. He said bewilderedly, ”Crooks like you should be beheaded, how could they allow you turn good?”

Fan Yunxiao laughed dryly, ”This is the grace of the imperial court, I'm moved to tears of gratitude.”

Qin Mu disembarked the ship and was about to leave when Fan Yunxiao hurried over. Putting his arm over his shoulder, he chuckled, ”Brother Qin, what future do you have in Imperial College? Why not follow me and we can do big business, no capital huge profit!”

Qin Mu shook his head, ”Senior Brother Fan, I in Imperial College ain't like you in Dao Sect. You are corrupted at heart but Imperial College has a very good impression of me. I'm a good person with an extensive public reputation.”

Hu Ling'er was full of confidence, ”The term improper intention can never be placed together with young master.”

Fan Yunxiao could only drop his thoughts and grumbled, ”With your talent, it's wasted for you not to be a bandit. That's right, when I left Dao Sect, I stole a Computational Canon of Supreme Mystery and since you're interested in algebra, I'll give it to you.”

Qin Mu rose up with spirit and immediately took over the Computational Canon of Supreme Mystery, ”How can I take such a precious gift? Ling'er, take it quickly.”

Hu Ling'er hid the Computational Canon of Supreme Mystery in the backpack.

Fan Yunxiao said, ”Dao Sect doesn't prohibit disciples to learn Computational Canon of Supreme Mystery. This canon is used for opening up the disciples' wisdom and if they could learn the computational canons well, only then can they learn Fourteen Writings of Dao Sword. Back then I learned my computational canon not bad and learned the fifth writing of Dao Sword. Before I could start to learn the sixth writing, I was chased out to become a bandit.”

Qin Mu asked curiously, ”Which writing is the move, A Dot Threading The Vast Movements, Yin And Yang Come And Go Within Two Modes from?”

”Brother Qin knows this move?”

Fan Yunxiao was astonished, ”This is the first writing of Dao Sword and the most simple move among the fourteen writings. Dao Sword becomes harder the further you cultivate it but the power also grows. When one succeeds in cultivating the fourteenth writing of Dao Sword, he would become invincible in this world, becoming a god. However, no one in Dao Sect has ever succeeded.”

Qin Mu's heart jumped. The first writing of Dao Sword was already this powerful so how astonishing could the power of the fourteenth writing be?

When he fought with Daozi Ling Xuan, this was the move that was used by Daozi Ling Xuan. He defeated Dozi Ling Xuan. However, Daozi Ling Xuan also managed to calculate the location of his weakness and injured him.

He couldn't help becoming curious about the Fourteen Writings of Dao Sword.

After bidding farewell to Fan Yunxiao, Qin Mu walked towards Imperial College and thought to himself, ”Fan Yunxiao is an interesting person. I'm just not sure when such an interesting person would be detained to the market to be beheaded. Hmm, now that Patriarch has retired, I wonder who would be the next grand chancellor? Could it be Chancellor Ba Shan?”

Chancellor Ba Shan planned to change the disadvantage of Imperial College by establishing imperial academicians. In Qin Mu's heart, he was the first choice to be the next grand chancellor.

However, the other people might not be as open-minded as him.

It was extremely important for them to establish imperial academicians. It was the crucial point if Imperial College would be able to surpass sacred grounds like Dao Sect and Great Thunderclap Monastery. Only when Chancellor Ba Shan became the grand chancellor could he continue to push for this reform.

He came to the mountain gate of Imperial College and just as he passed the mountain gate, he suddenly moved back and sized up the dragon qilin who was guarding in front of the mountain gate.

That dragon qilin was still lying below the mountain gate and looking forward motionless; however, the chains on his neck had disappeared.

Qin Mu took a few more looks and the dragon qilin continued to look forward without blinking at all. He looked like he was carved from stone but veins started popping out from the neck of this dragon qilin.

”What are you looking at?” the dragon qilin turned his head and roared at him in anger.

Qin Mu asked curiously, ”The chain on your neck is gone so why aren't you leaving? What are you staying here for?”

That dragon qilin replied weakly, ”I've nowhere to go. Every day there are people feeding me here so why should I go? I'm pretty comfortable here.”
