The Great Xia Dynasty's Longevity Begins with Connecting to the Swallowed Starry Sky

Chapter 3 The Road Ahead, the Prodigy of the Qin Family

"There was some luck involved; there were quite a few coincidences today."

First, Qin Jiang came to report, and I felt a sense of urgency, an invisible pressure on my shoulders.

Furthermore, during our game of chess, I made a brilliant move that cut off your large group of stones, which sparked a burst of inspiration and led to my current attainment of enlightenment.

Qin Hao sighed.

I knew in my heart that there was indeed some coincidence involved.

At the same time, when I entered a meditative state and looked inward at myself, some golden light flashed through my mind while I was trying to capture the fetal light.

This surprised Qin Hao, but also made him realize something.

He was eager to go back and investigate the changes in his mind.

He had no choice but to force himself to sit down and continue talking with Li Yiche.

"I just don't know what it is. Just in case, we'll have to wait until we get back to find out."

Although Li Yiche was his childhood friend, they got along very well.

In small matters, Li Yiche would never betray him.

But when it comes to matters of great importance concerning the Great Xia Dynasty, it's hard to say.

Besides, there's also that Prince Dorothy.

And Emperor Hengming in the palace.

With Emperor Hengming stationed in the capital, and the Nine Dragons Profound Yang Array, a super formation that spans the entire capital, overseeing everything, there are very few things that even that emperor cannot ascertain.

Therefore, caution is necessary.

Li Yiche looked at his childhood friend and sighed for a while before asking, "By the way, since you've entered the world of chess, are you planning to enter the Imperial Academy?"

Within the capital city, there are several departments established by the imperial court.

Among them, the Imperial Academy (Guozijian) belonged to the Confucian school, where students read the classics of sages, followed the path of sages, aligned themselves with their own learning, and embarked on the path of Taoism.

There are also some who enter the Dao through the arts of music, chess, calligraphy, and painting.

In addition, there is Xuan Yang Temple, which houses Taoist practitioners, and Da Xiang Guo Temple, which houses Buddhist practitioners.

In fact, all of the above belong to the category of refining airflow.

Although some martial arts practitioners were also mixed in.

Most martial arts practitioners would join the Six Doors (a government agency) as patrol officers.

This department has the largest number of people and is responsible for capturing fugitives and maintaining rule.

Qin Hao entered the Dao through chess, which is why Li Yiche asked this question.

Qin Hao shook his head, stood up and said, "Perhaps, we'll see about the future. Don't forget, my grandfather was a martial arts practitioner, and my parents were also martial arts practitioners. They passed down three martial arts cultivation methods. I've also been honing my physical skills since I was a child, so it's not impossible that I might go to the Six Doors."

With that, he took his leave: "My family has prepared a coming-of-age ceremony, so I must go back."

"etc."

Li Yiche hesitated for a moment, but still reminded him: "Although you have now entered the Dao and successfully condensed the talisman seed."

But Chu Zishao has been practicing Taoism for many years and is now at the Blood Exchange Realm.

When martial arts practitioners are at a lower level, their offensive and defensive skills may be somewhat lacking, but their strength is definitely not low.

Upon reaching the second realm, the advantages of martial arts cultivation become even stronger.

With such a powerful physique and a divine weapon, you'd better watch out.

Qin Hao smiled, reached out and beckoned, and the chessboard on the warm jade stone table automatically flew up and landed in Qin Hao's hand.

"Don't forget, my grandfather was just a blacksmith back then. Later, he inherited the crafting skills and was able to fight his way up from the army. Finally, he made meritorious contributions and was granted the title of Earl of Anyuan."

Li Yiche was taken aback. After hearing Qin Hao's words, he realized what was happening and exclaimed in shock, "I had forgotten that your family has a tradition of crafting magical artifacts. This chessboard that you've always carried with you since childhood has actually been upgraded to a magical artifact?"

He swallowed hard, suppressing his shock, and then reminded him, "You have a magical artifact, let's not even talk about that."

Then Chu Zishao must also have plenty of powerful weapons.

This time, it's for the sake of Marquis Weiling's reputation.

Even for the sake of that person's face, he had no choice but to go all out.

Be careful.

Qin Hao nodded, said nothing more, and turned to leave.

He waved his hand.

The numerous chess pieces automatically fell into the chess jar next to him, and then the chess jar flew up and flew to Qin Hao's side, where he reached out and grabbed it.

Qin Hao reached into his waistband and found a storage bag. He then put away the chess jar and chessboard.

He is currently only at the Talisman Seed Realm and has not yet opened his Dantian Qi Palace, so he cannot store magical artifacts in his Qi Palace for nurturing.

Therefore, the only option is to put it into the storage bag.

This storage bag is no ordinary item; it's not something an average person could possess.

Even Li Yiche, the son of Princess Duoluo, never possessed it.

This is one of the few times Qin Hao has managed to snag a bargain in the past sixteen years.

The Qin family did not own many.

As far as Qin Hao knew, only his grandfather, the Earl of Anyuan, Qin Zhenyuan, had one.

In addition, Qin Hao's mysterious mother, Jiang Zhijin, also has one.

He walked through pavilions and winding streams, and came out of the Princess Doro's mansion, where he saw Qin Jiang standing in front of the carriage.

Seeing Qin Hao emerge, Qin Jiang, suppressing his excitement, stepped forward and asked, "Young Master? Are we... are we going back to the manor?"

Qin Jiang was actually at Princess Duoluo's residence just now, so he noticed some commotion.

In addition, Qin Hao had just broken through, and his aura had not yet been completely subdued.

Qin Jiang, as Qin Hao's personal bodyguard sent by his grandfather Qin Zhenyuan, is also a master of the second stage of martial arts, the Blood Exchange Realm.

He was only one step away from achieving the Transformation of Marrow.

His senses are very sharp.

Qin Hao didn't say much; he had only just entered the Dao and it wasn't worth talking about it everywhere.

He came with profound wisdom, and he has worked hard for sixteen years.

Once inside the carriage, Qin Jiang instructed the driver to steer the unicorn towards the Marquis of Anyuan's residence.

This unicorn is also a kind of demonic beast, with immense strength. It was tamed by cultivators and turned into a chariot puller for the wealthy and powerful.

Qin Hao's mind wasn't on that; he was thinking about his future plans.

He always had a sense of urgency.

"And then there are the parents who went missing from the border; I always felt this was no simple matter. Why is the support so slow in responding to the barbarian invasion?"

Unfortunately, he is only a novice and has no right to inquire about military intelligence.

"The changes in his mind also need to be investigated."

"Young master, we're home."

Just as I was thinking, Qin Jiang's voice came.

Qin Hao saw the familiar gate of the mansion through the car window.

The Anyuan Earl's Mansion was located near the outer city of Shendu.

God is divided into three parts.

The first and most central location is the imperial city, where the Princess Doro's residence, where Qin Hao was just now, is located.

However, it was located on the outer perimeter of the imperial city.

Then comes the inner city.

The wealthy and powerful families of the Great Xia capital mostly reside in this area.

The higher the rank and the longer the history, the closer one's residence is to the imperial city.

An Yuanbo, a nouveau riche who had only recently risen to prominence, could only live near the outer city, which was where ordinary people lived.

Qin Hao strolled forward, entered the mansion, and headed towards the backyard.

This place is nowhere near as large or as elegant as the Princess Duoluo's mansion.

But the courtyard was still extremely luxurious, with beautiful scenery at every turn and a hundred flowers blooming in competition.

As Qin Hao approached the main courtyard in the backyard, before even entering, he heard hearty laughter coming from inside: "Our Qin family's prodigy has returned! Come in quickly and let your grandfather see what this self-taught genius is like!"
