Chapter: 1391 (1/2)

AST 1391 – Fire Bird’s Morphing, Hell’s Phoenix, Soaring to the Sky

“The Left Custodian is wanting to take action against you and will be bringing in other members of the Phoenix Dance Organization,” the old man looked at Qing Shui and said.

Hearing this, Qing Shui felt that his ability to get information was still very weak. Although the Jade Emperor Bees could be put to use, there were still plenty of disadvantages. Although he had a divine connection with them, they were after all, a lot different from humans.

“Sir, if you guys don’t have a lot of confidence, then it’s better for you to not get involved,” Qing Shui gave it some thought and said.

“It’s fine. Although the Cloud Flutter isn’t as powerful as the Phoenix Dance, it isn’t that easy for them to wipe us out. Even if they did eradicate us, the Phoenix Dance will suffer great losses as well and they’ll end up being taken advantage of by other powers. Therefore, the Phoenix Dance won’t really go all out with the Cloud Flutter.”

“If the Cloud Flutter were to stop the Phoenix Dance from making any moves against me, they still wouldn’t fight it out with the Cloud Flutter?” Qing Shui couldn’t understand.

“They won’t but they’ll try to avoid us. Therefore, I’ll do my best but I’m not sure if I’ll be able to stop them entirely.” Saying this, the old man was a little worried as well.

Qing Shui looked at the old man for a while and felt that he did not lie. Smiling, Qing Shui said, “There’s no need to worried. Even if the Che Clan and the Phoenix Dance want to swallow me up, it won’t be that easy for them either.”

If this was said by some other young man, the old man would definitely treat it as rubbish talk. However, Qing Shui was different. The old man didn’t feel that Qing Shui was boasting. After some hesitation, the old man said, “What do you think of letting Little Jian and Little Ying stay with you?”

Little Jian and Little Ying were Yun Yijian and his wife.

“That’s good too. But don’t let them make a move unless necessary. It’ll be fine as long as they can help to take care of two people. As long as they are not attacked, then there’s no need for the two of them to do anything,” Qing Shui gave it some thought and said.

“Okay. I’ll be more at ease with this arrangement. Having one more person would mean more security.” The old man stood up.

“Little Jian, you’ll stay here and do what Qing Shui said,” the old man said to Yun Yijian.

“Mmm, I got it. Little Ying should be arriving soon. I’ll go look for her.”

…

The people outside knew that there was trouble brewing here. Although nothing could be seen on the surface, everyone knew that there would be an explosion sooner or later. Those with news and quick wits would already have sensed the danger. There should still be other powers who would get involved.

It wasn’t known who was the one to spread the news but people now were aware that Qing Shui had helped Cloud Flutter’s Yun Wanpeng increased his lifespan by several hundreds of years.

Yun Wanpeng was that old man from Yun Clan.

Many experts in this area knew that Yun Wanpeng’s lifespan was nearing its end but now, Yun Wanpeng appeared to be invigorated and full of vitality. This was something which could not be faked. Experts were very sensitive to things like this. This was especially so, when one was only left with about half a year or so lifespan. It was hard to conceal something like this.

Therefore, many people believed in the news and now knew that there was an amazing Miraculous Physician at the Imperial Cuisine Hall. In the past, many people had looked down on the Imperial Cuisine Hall but they now all changed their minds. Those who had received a token from the Imperial Cuisine Hall were now exhilarated. This was a token that could ensure one’s life and increase one’s lifespan. Moreover, the value of this token was now skyhigh.

Those who had gone to the Imperial Cuisine Hall in the past and could have easily obtained a token, but had left in fury, were now full of regret. This was especially so for those who had said spiteful words and had done so in front of Qing Shui. These people now felt so upset that they wanted to bang their heads against a wall.

Many people now knew of how amazing Qing Shui was and wanted to get into his good books. Even under such a situation, many people were still raring to take action.

However, Qing Shui refused to meet anyone. Since he had decided to put on airs, he decided to go all out. Moreover, he spread the word that he would only meet others after the matter with the Che Clan was over.

What a joke. After the matters with the Che Clan were settled, would it still be as easy for them to enter?

Clever people knew what Qing Shui meant and thus, they backed off. Qing Shui’s intentions were very clear. If they wanted him to help them increase their lifespans, then they would have to pay the price. For example, to go against the Phoenix Dance and the Che Clan. This was what Cloud Flutter had done…

The Phoenix Dance wasn’t the only big power in the continent’s capital. Moreover, with the involvement of the Cloud City, there were still some bigger clans and powers who chose to stood up against the Phoenix Dance. There would be people keeping guard around the Imperial Cuisine Hall every day.

Qing Shui stood on the rooftop. If the Phoenix Dance wished to take him on with their advantage in numbers, then they had underestimated his influence. As a powerful physician, as long as he played the right cards, he could easily let a great clan be wiped out completely.

Of course, the situation had yet to become so serious. For now, he would let his targets feel troubled and go crazy.

Qing Shui didn’t know if it was because of Cloud Flutter or because of the involvement of other clans and powers that the day had passed by peacefully. He called his demonic beasts out to stand guard while he entered the Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal to cultivate. However, the moment he entered, he was stunned.

The Fire Bird had changed. Did it attain a breakthrough?

Right now, the size of the Fire Bird was over two times bigger than what it was previously. Its feathers were still pitch black, like black treasured stones. It exuded a cold and elegant aura. When it saw Qing Shui, it cried out happily.

This should be the cry of a phoenix!

Why did it attain a breakthrough? Could it be because he had cultivated the Phoenix Form?

What was the connection? Qing Shui assessed the Fire Bird and saw that the crown it had on its head previously had now grown very big. It was still a pitch black crown but was extremely brilliant.
