I'm a demon in Tokyo!

Chapter 193 The Opening of the Void Sea! Imagawa Yoshimoto's Meticulous Care, Hanzo's Return, and a Vast Amount of Intelligence!

Kaga Kiyomitsu knew nothing.

It couldn't read the atmosphere, didn't know Imagawa Yoshimoto's identity, or what the relationship was between Uesugi Tetsu and the girl in front of it.

It only knows that its owner is calling it out now.

So it flew out of its sheath without a second thought, just like it would crawl back into its sheath when its owner told it to.

Buzz!

The pale, gleaming blade of Kaga Kiyomitsu vibrated slightly, issuing a warning.

Imagawa Yoshimoto's gaze swept coldly over Kaga Kiyomitsu, paying him no heed.

She stopped calling him by his name and asked directly, "What do you want to do?"

"Shouldn't I be the one asking you, Lord Yoshimoto, such a question?"

Uesugi Tetsu weakly placed his right hand over Imagawa Yoshimoto's fingers and used all his strength to pry her fingers off her wrist one by one.

That's not much strength.

If Imagawa Yoshimoto tightened his grip even slightly, he could have firmly held onto Uesugi Tetsuya's wrist.

There are countless ways to make Uesugi Tetsuya stop this physical and mental torment by pressing him down or pushing him over.

Anything is fine.

The knife looks scary, but it can't stop me.

It's not like she doesn't have a knife at her waist.

But Imagawa Yoshimoto still didn't.

She let her fingers loosen and hang limply in the air.

Because she sensed a force and will from the palm that covered the back of her hand.

A will that says, "No matter what, I will never back down."

Isn't this the same answer to the question she asked Uesugi Tetsu earlier?

But the target of this answer is a group of ordinary people who have little value, who can only be ruled under this turmoil, and who can do nothing about it.

Imagawa Yoshimoto stared intently into Uesugi Tetsu's eyes, but the latter's vision had already become unfocused, and he could no longer see anything.

"I just want to continue."

Uesugi Tetsu's voice was very soft, so soft that Imagawa Yoshimoto could hardly hear it if he didn't listen carefully: "This kind of trivial matter won't have much of an impact on my body."

"It will be recovered in two days."

The pain of squeezing out his spiritual energy was nothing compared to the bone-forging in the medicinal bath; at most, it only made him a little mentally exhausted.

Of course, this "some fatigue" is quite evident in his current frail body.

Therefore, Imagawa Yoshimoto felt that this did not seem like a trivial matter at all.

She said, "Che, are you going to disobey my orders?"

Uesugi Tetsu laughed: "Lord Yoshimoto, back in Tōtōmi Province, didn't you promise me that you would do whatever I said after we arrived?"

The dim candlelight flickered, and only the sound of two breaths remained in the quiet room.

Imagawa Yoshimoto was speechless and clenched his fist tightly.

Because that is indeed what she said.

A promise made to a retainer must be kept.

If you can't even do this, then what makes you a lord that your retainers can trust?

When he heard no more of the girl's voice, Uesugi Tetsu knew that Imagawa Yoshimoto had tacitly approved of his actions.

—Uesugi Tetsuya knew that even if Imagawa Yoshimoto never said it, she must have divided people into different classes based on their value.

This is the real Imagawa Yoshimoto, her instincts as the head of the Imagawa clan, which enabled her to make the "most correct" choice.

Offer assistance to those who are valuable, and abandon those who are not.

When values ​​collide, Yoshimoto Imagawa's scales will naturally tip to one side.

The reason she disregarded the lives of the Mikawa warriors and allowed them to risk their lives to harass Owari was because she regarded the Mikawa warriors as country samurai and inferior people from the bottom of her heart.

The lives of Mikawa samurai are not as noble as those of Suruga samurai.

However, Imagawa Yoshimoto genuinely wanted to save the people under her rule.

She genuinely wanted to save people, but she also genuinely believed that the combined value of all the citizens of Yoshida Castle was less than his.

Both were sincere.

—It was obvious that there was a difference in opinion between them.

Uesugi Tetsu didn't say anything more, but instead focused his thinning attention back on the paper in his hand.

No matter how much you say, you can't change the other person's mind immediately.

Imagawa Yoshimoto is no child.

She left the temple at the age of fourteen, single-handedly purged the internal affairs of the temple, and became the head of the Imagawa family. To this day, no one knows how many things she has experienced.

Her values ​​are harder than iron.

These things can only be changed gradually over the long period of time they spend together in the future.

So Uesugi Tetsu placed his trembling fingers on the paper and used a deep breath to force out the barely perceptible spiritual energy again.

Imagawa Yoshimoto watched silently with a cold expression.

She also understood from the words just spoken that no matter what she said, she could not change Uesugi Tetsuya's mind.

After a long silence, Imagawa Yoshimoto's cold, hard voice suddenly rang out.

"How to help you?"

Uesugi Tetsuya's fingers, which were moving with difficulty, paused. He paused for a moment, and then smiled slightly: "Then please, Lord Yoshimoto, lend me your help."

At this moment, Kaga Kiyomitsu, who had been hovering nearby for a long time without knowing what to do, finally received the order and went back into his scabbard.

Imagawa Yoshimoto responded faintly, then sat down opposite Uesugi Tetsuya and moved the papers to the same spot in front of him.

After that, all Uesugi Tetsu needs to do is mechanically move his fingertips to complete the production of each disease-repelling talisman.

Take a deep breath, move your fingertips, take another deep breath...

During the seemingly endless night in Uesugi Tetsuya's subjective sense of time, he repeated this action countless times.

It wasn't until ten o'clock in the morning that sunlight shone through the thin window paper onto Uesugi Tetsuya.

He felt a glimmer of light emerge from the darkness before him, and then he said hoarsely,
"Is it dawn yet...?"

"Throw the talisman into the water vat, then everyone should drink a bowl of water. If anyone's symptoms persist, then they should drink another bowl the next day..."

Imagawa Yoshimoto, who had also spent the night with him, listened quietly until he hadn't missed a single word, then asked...

"Gone?"

Uesugi Tetsu nodded slightly.

She immediately stood up, holding the stacks of healing charms that had formed a small mountain, and quickly walked out of the quiet room.

Hearing Imagawa Yoshimoto's footsteps fade away, Uesugi Tetsu lowered his head, his heartstrings twitching.
"Xiao Jia, you go too... If anyone acts recklessly, or if any demons appear, kill them all."

hum...

"I'm fine, go ahead." Uesugi Tetsu tapped the hilt of the sword. "It'll be fine in a bit, you've seen it before, haven't you?"

Upon hearing this, Kaga Kiyomitsu no longer hesitated and drifted away following Imagawa Yoshimoto's retreating figure.

Uesugi Tetsu sat there, so exhausted that he could barely feel his own breathing.

Shortly after, having finished explaining everything, Imagawa Yoshimoto hurried back to the courtyard, but slowed down and returned to his normal pace the moment he stepped inside.

A few steps later, Imagawa Yoshimoto, who had just reached the door, saw Uesugi Tetsu, who had been sitting stiffly in place for a long time, slowly collapse.

She didn't say much, only inwardly scoffing.

"Tch, he brought it on himself."

Imagawa Yoshimoto knelt to the side, not even glancing at Uesugi Tetsuya.

Anyway, didn't Che say it was a small matter?

But after a long time, Imagawa Yoshimoto didn't hear any other noises from inside the room, as if she were the only person there.

She bit her lip and secretly glanced in the direction they had come from.

On the wooden floor, Uesugi Tetsu lay on the ground with his eyes half open, his breathing and complexion even worse than yesterday.

Imagawa Yoshimoto immediately stood up, tripped over himself, and staggered over to carefully pick up Uesugi Tetsuya and check his breath with his finger.

No? !
She blinked, stunned.

Ke Che's body was still warm.

Imagawa Yoshimoto instinctively wanted to summon a servant, but she immediately realized that this was not the Imagawa residence, and Yoshida Castle was far from safe.

So the girl hugged Uesugi Tetsu tightly and immediately used the method from yesterday to mobilize the internal energy within him.

—Uesugi Tetsuya didn't know how much time had passed.

All he knew was that when he opened his eyes again, he could clearly feel the qi flowing slowly through his body, as well as the prompts that kept popping up in front of him.

[The current level of influence of the world's journey on history: 1.1% → 1.14%!]

[Your reputation during the late Muromachi and Sengoku periods +2...]

[Your reputation during the late Muromachi and Sengoku periods +4...]

Is it because the healing potion was very successful?
Just as Uesugi Tetsu was about to turn his head to check the situation, he found that his upper body was enveloped in a warm, soft warmth—the slowly flowing qi was also thanks to this.

He barely managed to lift his gaze and found Imagawa Yoshimoto's snow-white neck, covered in fragrant sweat, very close at hand.

Above that was her face, with slightly furrowed brows, looking quite displeased.

"woke up?"

After seeing that Uesugi Tetsu had indeed made eye contact with her, Imagawa Yoshimoto scoffed, but then let out a heavy sigh.

This made Uesugi Tetsuya feel that the support behind him had diminished.

She asked casually, "How does your condition compare to yesterday?"

"It's a bit better."

Uesugi Tetsu replied after using his mind to erase the pile of prompts in front of him.

So Imagawa Yoshimoto pinched his nose and said, "You smell like a demon's blood. You've been smelling terrible since yesterday. I'll give you a wash later."

wash?

Who will wash it?

Uesugi Tetsu thought to himself, having regained most of his cognitive abilities.

He himself did not have the extra strength, and Imagawa Yoshimoto could not allow unfamiliar servants and maids to approach him.

Having understood the answer, Uesugi Tetsuya opened his mouth: "Lord Yoshimoto, this isn't appropriate..."

"Shut up."

Imagawa Yoshimoto coldly interrupted Uesugi Tetsuya with two words, then gently leaned him against the soft cushion: "Wait here."

Before long, Uesugi Tetsu saw someone carrying over a bathtub filled with warm water, a basin of bath beans, different sizes of changes of clothes, and large bath towels.

Bath beans are a mixture of spices made from mung bean flour or wheat flour. However, this substance was expensive, so even samurai rarely used it for daily bathing.

Snapped.

Imagawa Yoshimoto closed the sliding door, walked over expressionlessly, and helped him remove his clothes one by one, folding them aside.

When the girl turned around, a blush inevitably rose on her cheeks, but it quickly faded away.

She bent down and picked up Uesugi Tetsuya, gently placing him into the bathtub. Then, she carefully wiped his full and muscular body with a small towel dampened with water.

From head to toe, not a single gap was missed.

Her movements were careful and gentle, a stark contrast to the cold, hard expression on her face.

Uesugi Tetsuya did not put up a futile resistance, but only sighed inwardly at Imagawa Yoshimoto's hypocrisy.

Without a doubt, she was a good ruler, but not a good ruler.

She still has a long way to go before she can truly become the ruler of the world.

After being forced to get dressed, Uesugi Tetsu listened to the continuous cheers coming from outside the Matsudaira house, which seemed to be about to lift the roof off.

He knew that the effect of the disease-repelling talisman was as expected.

In the 48 hours following the end of this "rage," Imagawa Yoshimoto took meticulous care of Uesugi Tetsu.

She bathed and changed his clothes, channeled her inner energy into his body, brought him his three meals a day, and even fed him bite by bite by bite, and stayed by his side almost every step of the way.

They cared for his health even more than the most loyal servants.

He just kept a cold face and didn't give Uesugi Tetsuya a friendly look.

……

Forty-eight hours passed in the blink of an eye.

afternoon.

Uesugi Tetsu stood up, clenched his fist tightly, and felt the long-lost, abundant power flowing through his body.

He had never felt so free and able to take deep breaths.

After listening for a while longer, Uesugi Tetsu discovered that the disease situation in Yoshida Castle had improved significantly, and there were currently no diseases that the Disease Relief Talisman could not cure.

Even if the illness is not caused by physical suffering, the Illness Relief Talisman can still have a simple healing and relief effect.

crunch.

The sliding door opened, and Imagawa Yoshimoto, who was holding a plate, was slightly taken aback as he looked at Uesugi Tetsu, who had a piercing gaze and an unusually powerful aura.

While she was out getting food, Che's health actually improved?
Moreover, there was absolutely no sign of weakness from just moments before.

Has the effect of that secret technique worn off?

Imagawa Yoshimoto thought.

It turns out that Che hadn't lied to himself the night before.

He didn't lie to himself just for the sake of a moment...

In addition, all the residents of Yoshida Castle who had access to water had drunk the first bowl and were swept up in a frenzy of worship and praise for her.

These two good things happening at the same time left Yoshimoto Imagawa unsure whether to laugh or maintain his cold, poker face.

Uesugi Tetsu bowed slightly to the girl carrying the food: "I'm sorry to have worried Lord Yoshimoto these past two days."

Imagawa Yoshimoto squinted.

For some reason, seeing that smiling face reminded her of the night he disobeyed her orders, and a surge of anger inexplicably welled up inside her.

"Eat it yourself!"

She strode over, placed a wooden plate on the small table, and said irritably, "What difference does it make to you whether I'm worried or not?"

Uesugi Tetsuya, who had just sat down and was about to eat, paused for a moment.

Judging from his tone, Imagawa Yoshimoto is... angry?

He was a little stunned.

Uesugi Tetsuya never expected that Imagawa Yoshimoto would get angry over such a trivial matter.

You should know that the last time she was angry was because those old retainers, the Red Oni, brought them into the Imagawa residence. At that time, Imagawa Yoshimoto was so furious that his hands trembled and his eyes could almost kill.

But this time is different.

Her anger this time was simply anger without any ulterior motive.

It turns out that Imagawa Yoshimoto also has this girlish side.

rare.

So Uesugi Tetsuya wasn't annoyed at all; on the contrary, he was quite pleased. He chewed on daikon radish, drank his slightly salty miso soup, and ate large mouthfuls of fine rice while observing the expression on Imagawa Yoshimoto's face as he stood with his arms crossed and remained silent.

She's probably waiting for him to admit his mistake and then coax her.

—Because of Imagawa Yoshimoto's status, it was impossible for her to say "I'm angry" directly to his face.

—Or rather, most of the time she had to pretend not to be angry even when she was angry, which meant that Yoshimoto Imagawa simply didn't know how to bring it up.

Uesugi Tetsu completely disregarded her wishes.

He happily ate the lunch the other person brought him, while watching Imagawa Yoshimoto sullenly.

Just as Uesugi Tetsu was about to finish eating, Imagawa Yoshimoto finally couldn't resist anymore.

She slapped the corner of the table.
"Just eat your meal properly, why are you staring at me like that!"

"Well……"

Uesugi Tetsu swallowed the last bite of hot food, thought for a moment, and then gestured in the air: "Because I think you, Lord Yoshimoto, are quite cute?"

Imagawa Yoshimoto remained expressionless, silently staring at him.

After a moment, she sighed helplessly: "Che, please don't do that kind of thing again, okay?"

“Of course not,” Uesugi Tetsuya replied immediately.

He immediately explained, "If seven or eight out of ten of Lord Yiyuan's people die, wouldn't the road to the world become even more difficult?"

"In other words, if it can ensure that you, Lord Yiyuan, become the ruler of the world, then my death will be of no consequence..."

Snapped.

Before Uesugi Tetsu could finish speaking, he caught the teacup that Imagawa Yoshimoto threw at him, and then he heard her gritted teeth.

"Why do you always say such nasty things!" Imagawa Yoshimoto's chest heaved violently as he glared at him fiercely. "You think you can just die? You die, die, die, die!"

Uesugi Tetsu blinked and held up a finger: "Then I'll try my best to live until Lord Yoshimoto becomes the ruler of the land."

Upon hearing this, Imagawa Yoshimoto raised his little fist.

dong dong dong.

Just then, a crisp knock came from outside the door.

Imagawa Yoshimoto lowered his fist, took a deep breath, and calmed the agitated expression on his face.

"Come in." Her voice was still a little loud.

Honda Tadakatsu opened the sliding door and saw Imagawa Yoshimoto, whose clothes were slightly disheveled and whose cheeks were flushed, and Uesugi Tetsuya, who was sitting not far away from her, smiling.

—This great Onmyoji, Tetsu, seems to have an unusual relationship with the head of the Imagawa clan?
The Imagawa family's representative to the Matsudaira family had a stiff expression.

Am I coming at the wrong time?
Honda Tadakatsu immediately lowered his head, refusing to look at what he shouldn't be looking at.

"Lord Imagawa, the divine water is very effective; many people with milder symptoms have already recovered..."

Honda Tadakatsu lay prostrate on the ground, truthfully reporting the situation regarding Yoshida Castle.

Almost ten minutes later, he stood up with his head down, ready to take his leave.

Uesugi Tetsu tapped the table to stop him and said seriously, "If anything unusual happens in the city, whatever it may be, you must report it to me."

—In many incident records in the Special Affairs Bureau's documents, there were times when areas that were about to settle down suddenly experienced new riots overnight.

Because the known symptoms suddenly mutated, and no one could predict what the effects of this mutation would be.

Honda Tadakatsu turned around and replied emphatically, "I understand."

Without waiting for any further instructions, he turned and left a few seconds later.

Honda Tadakatsu recalled Uesugi Tetsu's healthy complexion just now.

Che... his complexion is actually so good?

Honda Tadakaka remembered that yesterday morning, the great Onmyoji Tetsu seemed to have exhausted himself, so the head of the Imagawa family had to take care of him personally.

When he saw the mountain of talismans, he thought, "No wonder."

Unexpectedly, Che had fully recovered in just a short time.

As expected of a great Onmyoji.

And that knife that can understand human speech...

—[Your reputation during the late Muromachi and Sengoku periods +50!]

Inside, Uesugi Tetsu raised an eyebrow as he looked at the notification that suddenly popped up in front of him.

Who is promoting my deeds here?
Never mind, it's nothing.

His reputation during the Warring States period has now exceeded 4000 points, and in a few days it will probably be approaching the 5000 mark.

These few points, even a few dozen, were simply not enough to stir Uesugi Tetsu's mind.

Compared to this...

Uesugi Tetsuya turned his gaze to the [Mountain God's Rock Heart] in his storage backpack.

Now his body has fully recovered.

It's time to eat it.

Uesugi Tetsu reached out and let the reddish-brown crystal, about the size of a normal person's fist, fall into his palm.

The strange appearance of the mountain god's heart also attracted the attention of Imagawa Yoshimoto.

"Lord Yiyuan, can you help me protect the Dharma?"

"What do you want to do?" Imagawa Yoshimoto asked, then, realizing it might be inappropriate, added, "Right here?"

"Well, it's right here."

Uesugi Tetsu explained briefly: "This was found on the great demon I killed outside the city gate. It is beneficial to my cultivation and can increase my chances of victory."

Imagawa Yoshimoto pursed his lips, grabbed the plate that was completely empty, and turned back halfway, revealing half of his face that still showed a hint of displeasure.

"Then don't worry, no one will bother you."

She closed the door.

Uesugi Tetsuya glanced at the indistinct figure sitting down by the door and curled the corner of his lips slightly: "Are you at ease...?"

He tilted his head back and put the scalding hot rock heart into his mouth.

Take a big bite and crush it!
Instantly, a hot yet gentle "qi" flowed into his body through his mouth, surging into his limbs and bones before Uesugi Tetsuya could even react.

A warm feeling spread throughout Uesugi Tetsuya's body.

Uesugi Tetsuya, who had prepared himself for intense pain, found himself somewhat unaccustomed to it.

But at the same time, he didn't just wait around. He quickly activated the Spirit Control Technique, gathering all the warm "qi" into a single point within his body.

Because if the Spirit Control Technique is not activated, the effect of the Mountain God Rock Heart will likely be similar to effect one.

In just a moment, Uesugi Tetsu clearly felt the energy within the mountain god's heart churning, and some changes that he could not yet comprehend began to occur.

He held his breath and focused intently, methodically circulating the Spirit Control Technique again and again, gathering all the "qi" and channeling it into that one spot in his abdomen.

The gas is boiling, the gas is transforming.

There was no pain or abruptness.

boo.

Like a bubble bursting, during the 118th repetition of the Spirit Control Technique, Uesugi Tetsu suddenly felt a "hollow" in his abdomen that didn't exist within his body.

Is this the Qi Sea?
Uesugi Tetsu opened his eyes and focused his gaze on the notification in front of him—

[You have consumed the "Mountain God's Heart of Rock," simultaneously activating the Mountain God's primal power and opening up a "Sea of ​​Emptiness" within your body!]

There's only this one simple message.

Uesugi Tetsuya, who felt no change in his breathing technique and no increase in his spiritual power, pondered and sank his consciousness into the "hollow" in his abdomen.

In an instant, Uesugi Tetsu felt his consciousness enter a cramped and dark space.

—This is his empty sea of ​​qi.

But now, I have nothing.

For some reason, this thought popped into Uesugi Tetsu's mind.

But he understood the next moment.

It was the qi, the primordial qi remaining in the rock core of the mountain god, that gave him the answer.

In that case... how about inputting a bit of internal energy into this empty sea of ​​qi?

Do it when you think of it.

Uesugi Tetsuya multitasked, communicating with his body, which was relatively outside the physical world, through his mind, and then using the Corona Breathing Technique to send a wisp of Qi into his empty Qi Sea.

"Gazing" at the qi appearing in his dantian, Uesugi Tetsuya obtained the remaining information from the primordial qi.

—Only after confirming the path can one begin to cultivate oneself.

—An empty sea of ​​qi is a sea of ​​qi without any inherent nature, starting from zero, difficult to cultivate, yet possessing enormous potential.

That wisp of solar aura floated in the dantian, as out of place as an outsider.

After reading these two messages, Uesugi Tetsu realized that it made sense.

This opening up of an empty sea of ​​qi is equivalent to giving you a piece of land.

What you want to do on this land afterward, whether it's farming or building skyscrapers, is up to you and can only be built by you.

But what does "confirm the road" mean? And how do we determine the road?

Uesugi Tetsuya was completely confused.

It seems that the only way to ask Nanjo-nee about this is to go back to the present world... Maybe even she doesn't have this experience, so we can only ask the master who has opened up the Qi Sea.

With some regret, Uesugi Tetsuya withdrew his consciousness from the empty sea of ​​qi, not forgetting to take the wisp of solar aura with him.

He was about to go out and finish talking to Yoshimoto Imagawa when he discovered that the storage backpack panel had suddenly popped out to the side.

Uesugi Tetsu glanced over and noticed that the two demon incarnation cards, which were placed in a separate row, were unusually emitting a golden glow.

Two gilded cards slowly rotated, and the white prajna and the four-tailed fox on them stared at him with lively eyes.

what's the situation?
Could it be because he just opened up a void sea of ​​qi?

Uesugi Tetsu couldn't think of anything else besides that.

Otherwise, there's no reason for a card that hasn't made any moves since it was drawn to be glowing now.

Is this okay? !

Uesugi Tetsu materialized two warm-feeling cards in his palm, and then once again sank his consciousness into the empty sea of ​​qi.

This time, the darkness was different from the previous one.

Because two cards, exactly the same as those in reality, are floating in the center of the Qi Sea.

Automatic transmission?
Uesugi Tetsu blinked and saw wisps of "qi" emerging from the edges of the two cards.

Like boundless water, flowing endlessly.

One is a deep black and red, exuding an aura unique to ghosts and gods, which should be the aura of Prajna; the other is white with a hint of pink, and looks like it has a captivating power, which is the aura of a four-tailed fox.

"Qi exists in all things."

Uesugi Tetsu murmured, now he was beginning to understand those words.

Because even the two cards that were actually demonic incarnations—these inanimate objects—possessed aura!
Through the Spirit Control Technique, Uesugi Tetsu could clearly feel his empty sea of ​​qi slowly expanding under the nourishment of the qi surging from the two cards.

Moreover, it seemed that he didn't need to focus his mind on the two cards at all; they could generate gas on their own.

In other words, in the future, the Void Qi Sea can be expanded by demonic incarnations through idle cultivation?

Uesugi Tetsuya couldn't help but feel delighted.

This is really something; even sleeping makes me stronger.

But before that, we need to figure out exactly what effect the Void Sea of ​​Qi has on him.

In the quiet room, Uesugi Tetsuya spent a long time exploring and trying.

About an hour later, he confirmed at least two effects of the empty sea of ​​qi.

Firstly, he can draw upon the Qi in his Qi Sea, transforming it into solar corona Qi to replenish the depleted Qi within his body.

This should be the most basic effect of Qi Hai (CV6).

The second one is quite different.

If the energy produced by these two demonic incarnations is applied directly to the body, one can obtain a portion of the power of the Prajna or the Four-Tailed Fox.

The more Qi you draw upon, the more power you gain.

—The power here refers only to the attribute.

As for those complex talent effects, Uesugi Tetsu hasn't figured them out yet.

However, Uesugi Tetsu discovered that in the empty sea of ​​qi, the qi of prajna and the qi of the four-tailed fox were clearly distinct, each occupying half of the sea of ​​qi's volume.

Even the air was still surging at the edge of contact.

Clearly, because the so-called "path" has not yet been determined, the Void Sea is still in a state of "wild growth and fragmentation."

As for what changes will occur after the Qi Sea expands... we should be able to see them clearly in a few days.

Uesugi Tetsuya looked at the two cards that were constantly generating gas for a while, and after testing that this wouldn't affect his normal incarnation, he clapped his hands happily.

"Then let the demons and monsters suffer the hardships of cultivating the Qi Sea!"

After withdrawing his consciousness from his dantian, Uesugi Tetsu stretched his aching muscles and noticed that it was already getting dark outside.

Outside the sliding door, Imagawa Yoshimoto's figure remained seated in the same spot.

like a statue.

He stepped forward and opened the door, causing Imagawa Yoshimoto, who was kneeling and feigning sleep at the entrance, to look up. He blinked, somewhat puzzled.

"Che-jun, you suddenly seem a little different."

They didn't expose how Imagawa Yoshimoto had switched from calling someone "Che" back to calling him "Che-kun" after just one afternoon, secretly trying to mend the relationship like a child.

Uesugi Tetsuya also asked with a puzzled expression,

"Have it?"

"I feel like things have become a bit more serious..."

Imagawa Yoshimoto paused, then asked, "Was your training successful?"

“Very successful.” Uesugi Tetsu nodded. “I must also thank Lord Yoshimoto for his protection.”

He was just about to invite Imagawa Yoshimoto to dinner when he felt a familiar presence appear in a larger sensory sphere.

Uesugi Tetsu looked up in surprise: "Hanzo's presence is approaching, he'll be here soon..."

Upon hearing this, Imagawa Yoshimoto stood up, a look of joy spreading across his face.

Because usually, Hanzo's return after being away for a long time means that he has obtained useful intelligence and information.

The two of them stood there.

In less than a minute, the somewhat unfamiliar black figure knelt down in front of Imagawa Yoshimoto.

Hanzo didn't say a word, but instead took out a slightly thicker scroll from his pocket.

"Thank you."

Imagawa Yoshimoto took it and quickly opened it.

Uesugi Tetsu leaned closer, paused slightly, and then showed a look of delight.

Because this document contains the current situation and intelligence of most of the Mikawa Kingdom!
