Rain drizzled down, and the silver-haired girl stood quietly in the moonlight. Li Guanyi quickly walked over and then reached out to take the umbrella from Shaking Light’s hand, his face always wearing a smile as he said, "Why did you come?"
"Was it again seeing the stars pointing the way, telling me you needed me?"
The girl quietly looked at him, then answered in a serene voice:
"There are no stars today."
Li Guanyi paused, lifted his head, and saw only the moon that the old monk had pointed out with his hand.
She took a step forward and hid under the umbrella.
"I just saw that you had not returned for a long time, so I came here to wait."
"It was I who needed to find you."
"There is no other reason."
Li Guanyi grinned, holding the umbrella as he walked forward with Shaking Light. The rain fell on the umbrella and then slipped off, dropping on the cobblestone, blossoming like flowers. The two walked quietly through this place without any other noise.
As they walked, the tresses of the girl’s hair fell, brushing against Li Guanyi’s shoulder.
Their palms occasionally touched.
The contact between the cuffs and skin was delicate.
Then, they reached a corner, and the silver-haired girl turned around, stretched out her hand, and pointed towards a stone over there, her eyes seemingly more radiant than usual. Then she suddenly pointed vigorously, her face showing no expression, but Li Guanyi could feel a sort of smug triumph.
"Are you saying that climbing the wall from here is the most suitable spot?"
Li Guanyi was amused and then reached out his hand.
Shaking Light grabbed his forearm.
Li Guanyi suddenly sprang up, stepping on the wall, his left hand holding the umbrella. His body seemed to hover for a moment in the air as the Qi Mechanism within him expanded, shaking the surrounding rain off. His body shot up like a cheetah, stepping on the top of the wall and flipping over with Shaking Light, landing on the ground.
Li Guanyi quickly walked inside, leaving her alone in the rain for a while.
Although the rain was drizzling, it was not rushed.
But over time, his clothes still got a bit wet, so he changed his clothes. Shaking Light still planned to leave, but Li Guanyi pulled her back, forcibly making her stay in the guest room of this yard. Li Guanyi practiced his various Martial Arts breathing skills, his palm stretched out, the Qi Fortune circulating.
How to use these things?
Currently, Li Guanyi’s Nine Acupoints were blocked, only the Ancestor Acupoint between his eyebrows was open.
This Qi Fortune could not be transformed into power; only the Purple Energy seemed somewhat useful, but it brought absolute troubles. According to the current nature of Emperor Chen, he would certainly practice the Magician’s teachings and definitely have several Qi Observation Skill magicians around him.
Chen Chengbi knew that walking out with this head full of green and purple energy was not good.
Li Guanyi pondered for a moment, trying to stuff this thing into the bronze tripod.
The bronze tripod, however, was not choosy about its contents.
It swallowed these things in one gulp, filling itself completely. Li Guanyi rested his chin on his hand, pondering what to do next.
The ritual for the Qilin should begin when it is time.
Mr. Siming was nowhere to be found.
At this moment, it was about learning more Martial Arts; later, he would need to leave Jiangzhou City, leave Chen Country.
Then find out where those twenty-four generals wandering in the Martial World had gone. Of course, these were tasks that needed to be done, but they were not urgent.
Li Guanyi thought it over; the most important thing right now was to reclaim a part of the blood debt owed to his parents. It was to resolve the matter with Chen Yuyun who had taken parts of his bronze tripod, to retrieve the components of the bronze tripod.
Li Guanyi’s hand touched the bronze tripod; it was ancient and covered in profound patterns.
There were miraculous patterns that could embrace the power of various Dharma Forms.
It was unknown what exactly the real identity of this central tripod was.
Li Guanyi had a premonition that when the tripod and dish were united, he might come to understand the origins of the tripod, at least in part.
And the tripod, not yet perfected, held such mysteries; how powerful would it be if truly restored?
What exactly does the dish mean for the tripod?
Li Guanyi was also curious.
Chen Chengbi had mentioned that the dish had the Kui Dragon Pattern and Water Cloud Pattern.
The Water Cloud Pattern and Dragon Pattern, aligned with water and dragon legends, were still items of the tripod type.
Li Guanyi pondered thoughtfully.
"Could it be that..."
At that moment, the bronze tripod trembled slightly, and the White Tiger appeared at his side, its eyes a pure, brilliant gold, bearing divinity, indifferent, the majestic White Tiger Dharma Form quietly lay next to Li Guanyi, gently rubbing against him, then looking at him with eager eyes.
Li Guanyi strangely felt the White Tiger Dharma Form’s longing. Looking at the White Tiger, he pondered and stretched out his hand, the green Qi Fortune appearing in his palm. He looked tentatively at the White Tiger Dharma Form in front of him and said, "Do you want to eat it?"
So the White Tiger nodded vigorously.
The young man laughed and said, "Then roll over."
The White Tiger Dharma Form obediently turned around, exposing its belly. The young man laughed heartily and reached out to rub the White Tiger’s belly. It seemed he had a special ability to slightly feel the existence of the White Tiger Dharma Form, unlike Mr. Siming, for whom the Black Tortoise could carry him away.
Li Guanyi suspected that Mr. Siming’s combat strength over these three hundred years was largely dependent on the Black Tortoise.
Li Guanyi suddenly pounced on the White Tiger, enveloped by the massive, fluffy feeling. He rubbed vigorously then snatched a handful of green energy and tossed it to the White Tiger, who swallowed it in one gulp.
Previously, it had swallowed a part of the owl Dharma Form.
Now, it had swallowed the green Qi Fortune.
Li Guanyi felt the White Tiger Dharma Form brighten up, spirited as if it had gained a year’s nurture, and the sound of the Dragon Roar also began, the Red Dragon spiraling around Li Guanyi. Then the young man lay back, feeding all this green energy to his Dharma Form.
