Seeking the Tao in the Mortal World

Chapter 87: Bone Token

Qin Yi was very surprised, “I’m so injured that I can’t even move. How can I help King?”

“Of course not now, I-King will arrange the time.” Shenghuang suddenly leaned toward his face and showed a charming smile, “Do you know what the bone token you gave me is?”

As she leaned down, her collar spread open, fully revealing the beautiful scenery. The alluring fragrance lingered on the tip of his nose. Qin Yi held his breath hard and hummed 2 words with a nasal voice, “Don’t know.” “

Seeing his red face, Shenghuang smiled and finally sat back, “You are clearly a boy, yet you think you are a man.”

Qin Yi stared at the ceiling with his head stiffened and said nothing.

Seeing that he was not charmed, Shenghuang also lost motivation, so she brought up the serious matter, “In our White Kingdom, there is a holy place formed by Kunpeng’s heavenly heart (forehead), called Kunpeng Purple Mansion. The mansion is divided into 3 realms. The lowest realm can allow Pellet Condensation Stage beastkins to break through. The highest realm will be of great help in cultivating up to the might of the ancestor.”

Qin Yi’s heart moved.

Such a holy place is great. Since it is in the White Kingdom, the overall strength of the White Kingdom should far exceed that of the other 2 kingdoms. How come even the Beastkin King is stuck in the Pellet Condensation Stage?

Shenghuang said slowly, “10,000 years ago, the beastkin clan used the Kunpeng’s heavenly heart to flourish and almost occupied the Divine Land. However, the nature of the beastkins are difficult to suppress. We kill each other more ferociously than anyone else, especially when it comes to the ownership of the holy land. Finally, the human cultivators seized the opportunity of the beastkin clan’s civil war and launched a massacre. The beastkin clan was defeated, and the remaining members fled into Beastkin City, relying on the corpse of the ancestor to survive. The beastkin overall strength is no longer what it was before. “

Qin Yi secretly thought: This is consistent with what Ming He said before.

Shenghuang said, “After learning from the painful experience, some leaders made a pact that the beastkin clan would not engage in civil war. They jointly studied a special restriction on the ownership of the holy land.”

“The bone token?”

“In addition to the regular protective array in front of the holy land, a special array is also set up. It can only be opened by dripping in 12 specific beastkin bloods at the same time. 12 drops of blood essence are stored in the bone tokens and are distributed among 12 leaders. Every time opening the holy land, it needs everyone’s cooperation. The special thing is that this token breaks into pieces when touched. Once broken, the blood will automatically scatter into the air. It will take many years to be generated in a random place in the city. In order to gain entry, everyone does not dare to use force. Everything must be negotiated.”

Qin Yi thought for a while, shook his head, and said, “A good idea, but in reality, it will only have the opposite effect. For example, whoever holds a token and asks others to agree to very harsh conditions. If they don’t agree, they will just ruin everything, and no one will be also to enter. There is no shortage of people with such a dog character. As such, others will retaliate in the same way… Anyway, the bone tokens are mostly destroyed again and again, and no one has collected them all, causing the strength of the entire Beastkin City can no longer be improved.”

Is someone among the beastkin clan’s leaders the spy sent by humans… Could it be that the elites were all killed by humans back then, leaving only leaders with little foresight?

Shenghuang sighed, “Yes, not only did the beastkin clan not stop fighting after that, but they fought even more ferociously. After many years, we were divided into 3 kingdoms and gradually stabilized under mutual restraint.”

“Well, triangle is the most stable structure…”

Shenghuang generally understood the meaning of this sentence. She nodded thoughtfully and continued, “Thousands of years have passed, and these tokens have been cycling between destruction and generation. No one has ever collected all of them. Such a long time is enough to make many beastkins forget about such a thing. The new beastkins don’t even know about it. Gradually, no one bothers about it except for the kings of every kingdom.”

Qin Yi stopped interrupting and listened attentively as the main point was coming.

“The holy land is in the White Kingdom, but it cannot be entered. Of course, our ancestors had never given up on this. Every King set the greatest goal as collecting these bone tokens. Finally, our generations of hard work have paid off. The tokens were finally gathered when my father was the King.” Shenghuang smiled bitterly, “The last one is in the Guo Kingdom. My father ordered the spy who was stationed in the Guo Kingdom to secretly send it back. Unexpectedly, the spy was assassinated on the way, and we lost the token. “

Qin Yi couldn’t help but say, “There is a traitor in your kingdom, and it is someone in a high position!”

“You’re right.” Shenghuang sighed, “My father was already suspicious of Prime Minister Jackal because he was responsible for the kingdom’s spy affairs. Unfortunately, my father was at the end of his life, so he died due to anger and entrusted the kingdom to me.”

She smiled seductively again, “What’s interesting was that Prime Minister Jackal proposed marriage to me and wanted his son to be the head of my harem.”

Qin Yi almost wanted to blurt out “tell him to die”, but he held the words back. I’m really over in my head. She was just flirting with me, and I really thought I’m her husband.

Shenghuang said in a charming voice, “In order to test him, I-King made a king decree. Whoever finds this last token in my kingdom will be my husband.”

“What?” Qin Yi’s eyes widened.

“Since you are unwilling to join my kingdom, this decree is naturally invalid to you.” Shenghuang glanced at him with a half-smile, “Besides, this decree was just for testing. If Prime Minister Jackal dared to hand out the token at that time, his family would be exterminated. Do you want to try it?”

Qin Yi, “…”

“Of course, this cunning jackal saw through my intentions. He really pretended that he had never seen the token before and looked for it everywhere.” Shenghuang sneered, “He was even afraid that I would sneak into his mansion secretly, so he deliberately sent the token outside and planned to take it out when the situation changed and let me fulfill the decree.”

Qin Yi finally fully understood, “So that shaman is his subordinate. He deliberately let the shaman take away the token and stationed him on the barren hill outside the city. After the matter subsided, he would make an excuse to kill the shaman to get the token and whitewash its origin. This is also why that shaman had so many resources. In fact, Prime Minister Jackal was secretly supporting him to avoid being killed by others first. But he didn’t expect that shaman had his own plans. He had secretly cultivated the fragments of the voodoo spell that dealt with beastkins. He quickly grew in strength, and he was particularly good in restraining beastkins, so Prime Minister Jackal couldn’t do anything to the shaman.”

“Yes.” Shenghuang sighed a little, “If you hadn’t brought the token, I-King really couldn’t finish the puzzle. I-King always thought that shaman was just a runaway human slave who deeply hated beastkins.”

Qin Yi said, “So what does King want me to do?”

“Once the Kunpeng Purple Mansion is opened, it takes half an hour for the cave entrance to close. I-King am worried that someone will come in and disturb my breakthrough.” Shenghuang said with a smile, “There are many very powerful protective arrays outside the Purple Mansion. I-King only need someone who is proficient in arrays, then no one will be able to breach the defense. You’re the right person to do this.”

Qin Yi asked curiously, “Why doesn’t King let your confidant do this? There must be beastkin who knows array, right.”

“Because General Eagle is only proficient in combat, and those who practice this kind of supportive techniques are mostly from the Prime Minister Jackal faction. I-King don’t trust them.” Shenghuang’s voice became more charming, “Since you so need me to refine the elixir for you, then you can be trusted on the contrary.”

Qin Yi instinctively felt that this statement was unconvincing. You command millions of beastkin, but you don’t even have a reliable beastkin who knows the array? Are you really a king? It seems like she is purposely naming me for this task.

But if I can really help her defend the arrays in exchange for her elixir, then of course this task cannot be refused. After thinking for a while, he could only sigh, “I just hope that King will keep your word.”

Shenghuang smiled slightly, “Then you can recuperate in peace. I-King still need to make some arrangements.”

After saying that, she left.

Qin Yi couldn’t help but look around, and he soon discovered that the mace was actually leaning against the wall. He felt relieved and transmitted his thought, “Stick Stick, what do you think?”

Liu Su’s sneer came into his mind, “What do I think? I think you are an idiot!”

TL: Idiot? He has no other choice, right?
