Chapter 879: Guiding the Situation
The piece of Xuan Jade that Sage Qingwei bestowed was a Xuan Jade of Immortality corresponding to the Qi Refiner’s lineage.
Within the Five Immortal Lineages, the Qi Refiner’s lineage corresponded to Earthly Immortals, ranking second only to the Banished Immortal lineage that corresponded to Heavenly Immortals.
The main thing was that this Xuan Jade was the final missing lineage for Qi Xuansu. Once he completed the Qi Refiner’s lineage, he would become a fully realized manmade Banished Immortal like Li Changge. This would mean he could also advance from the Xiaoyao stage to the Wuliang stage.
This was why Qi Xuansu was so elated.
No matter how the Daoist Order evolved, cultivation and power had always remained the foundation of one’s standing.
After leaving Sage Qingwei’s central command tent, Qi Xuansu returned to his own quarters, activated a privacy barrier to isolate himself from outside interference, and even posted Little Yin outside to stand guard.
Qi Xuansu once again used a mother-child talisman to contact Madam Qi.
At this time, Madam Qi was seated in a rattan chair beneath a grape arbor. The Qingming Festival had passed, and the grapevines were lush and green, radiating vibrant life.
Qi Xuansu found the setting oddly familiar, as though he had been there before. After thinking for a moment, he remembered that it was likely the Sycamore Villa in Bohai Prefecture. It seemed Madam Qi had gone to freeload off Li Qingnu again.
“If you’ve got something to say, say it. What are you staring at?” Madam Qi tapped her tobacco pipe against the ground.
Qi Xuansu came back to his senses and gave a brief account of his experiences during this period.
After hearing him out, Madam Qi blinked. “So?”
