Chapter Forty-Six: Drawing the Sword
the gate of the Ci family, lies the Ci Xia Academy, a place where the country cultivates talent.And within these gates, lies the grand treasury of Qi. To call this the very heartland of the state of...Jiang Wuyong's visit to the Lian family this time was indeed fueled by his love for the famed sword and his yearning for it. However, there was a deeper reason behind it.
At his level, of course, things can't be as simple as just right and wrong.
In order to demonstrate their status, the Lian family held a very grand ancestral rites ceremony this time.
It can be said that during this period, the two most noteworthy events in Qi State were the Tianfu Secret Realm in Linhai County and the ancestral rites of the Lian family.
Jiang Wu Yong wanted to use this grand ceremony to publicize his political stance and display some of his depth.
The cooperation with the Lian family has been prepared for a long time. For him, the Lian family, as a blacksmithing clan, is also a very good partner.
To hold the Red Sun is to hold an army. Therefore, Emperor Qi would never allow the Red Sun County to completely pledge allegiance to any prince or princess.

Prior to the warning line, support for the Lian family was very limited.
This is also the reason why the Crown Prince and the Third Princess did not target Lian Shi. The gains were meager, and they ended up embroiled in trouble for nothing.

But for Ginger, this was already a rare piece of meat that was hard to come by outside the cracks in his siblings' fingers.
First of all, his own power was very weak. To put it bluntly, even if he cooperated with the Lian clan, it would not arouse Qi Emperor's vigilance.
>
Although the Lian family couldn't be completely under his control, he himself didn't dare to have such deep control. But tilting some resources was enough for him to reach out to the military department afterwards and seek powerful support. This is his purpose.
From another perspective, as a renowned artifact that established the Sacred Ground of the Lian Clan's Weaponry, a newly forged divine sword like Changxiangsi would bestow its fame upon whoever wielded it.
For Prince Jiang Wuyong, who was a weak and disadvantaged prince, this arrangement allowed him to increase his status and reputation without incurring the jealousy of the Crown Prince and others. It perfectly aligned with his strategic development plan.
As for Jiang Wang, it's just a matter of beating the grass to startle the rabbits, nothing more.

But speaking of which, Jiang Wang's simultaneous appearance at the Tianfu Secret Realm and the ancestral rites is a good opportunity for him to establish a foothold.
Firstly, Jiang Wang is a rootless person with no background. He is just a foreigner invited by Chong Xuan Sheng. It's unknown what small country he came from, and there is nothing to be wary of.
Moreover, through the Tianfu Secret Realm and this recent artifact forging event, he gained some fame. This could be a good stepping stone.
Thirdly, Jiang Wang is a follower of Chong Xuan Sheng. As everyone knows, Chong Xuan Sheng is competing with Chong Xuan Zun for the position of head of the family. His visit to Nanyao is not only to finalize the cooperation with the Lian family, but also to show Chong Xuan Zun a friendly gesture, which is a worthwhile endeavor.
Lian Que is merely a younger member of the family, his words carry little weight. Zhong Xuan is far superior and currently residing in Handan.
And besides, Jiang Wuyang not only had the support of the Li family's high-ranking officials, but he also brought along a senior eunuch of the Inner Court. It was impossible for him to encounter any unexpected trouble when suppressing an outsider like Jiang Wang.
Unexpectedly, Chongxuan actually came in a rush.
To my surprise, he was so well-prepared that he immediately turned the situation around. It was clear that while deciding to come at the last minute, he had already planned everything meticulously.
For Jiang Wuyong, recognizing the situation is a very important ability.
Seeing that there weren't enough people, a group fight was out of the question. So they immediately changed their tune and challenged to a one-on-one duel.
Of course Chong Xuan wouldn't agree.
He has always taken advantage of others, never being taken advantage of himself.
"He snorted coldly: 'Sure, either you prove us right, or we prove you right Or let's all just get this over with together and prove each other right'"

Prince Jiang Wuyang's face remained unchanged as he calmly replied, "Since you are all just talk and dare not fight me fairly, then forget it! This prince is too lazy to waste any more time with you."
This move, using the slope to ride a donkey, was quite smooth. To say it was because Jiang Wangchong feared his fighting ability and didn't dare to face him alone would save some face.
But only to see Jiang Wang shook his head, and chuckled softly: "What is there that I dare not"
“Brother Jiang!” The audience member named Lian Que was a little anxious.
"Good!"
Seeing that Jiang Wang had become famous at a young age, he was indeed unable to bear the pressure. Jiang Wuyang didn't give anyone else a chance to interject and immediately settled the matter: "You have some guts, you haven't disgraced your surname. Come forward and fight me!"
But I have a small question.
Jiang Wang said with some confusion, "Chang Xiang Si is my sword after all. If I lose, you take it. What if I win What can I get Don't tell me it's your back."
He sneered and looked around: "Is there any such reason in the world Could the esteemed Fourteenth Prince of Qi only have the ability to take advantage without effort"

The crowd below looked at each other strangely.
Jiang Wuyong frowned and said, "Something that's impossible to happen, what else is there to presuppose"
“Since it's impossible, then why wouldn't you dare, Jiang Wuyang” Chong Xuansheng said coldly. “If you want to snatch the treasure, we’ll give you a chance considering your status. But if you want to join this gambling table, you have to put up enough stakes!”
Jiang Wuyong looked at him with cold eyes: "You are truly a gambler's heart. You won one round in the Heavenly Mansion Secret Realm, so you think you can win everything Do you really think Chongxuan Zun can't handle you"

"Then don't bother yourself with it. At least I can gamble with him at the table, what business is it of yours to stand on the sidelines and point fingers" Chong Xuan said sarcastically, openly ridiculing Jiang Wuyong for not even being worthy of competing with the other princes and princesses.
>
He burst into laughter, his tone menacing: "If you dare not play this round, just go back. Consider yourself unwelcomed!"
>
"Good!" Jiang Wuyong's face was ashen, he looked at Jiang Wangdao: "What do you want"
Zhong Xuan Sheng said from the side, "Jiang Wang, you can just speak your mind. Although Prince Fourteen is a little short of funds, the Qi royal family has many secret techniques."
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
He is clearly defining the boundaries for Jiang Wang.
Jiang Wang's heart had long been set on this. He immediately said, "I want a Fire-Type Earth Grade lower-rank escaping technique, and a Fire-Type Earth Grade lower-rank attacking technique. I only want the best quality transmission."
He is preparing for the combat system after pushing open the gate of heaven and earth.
Generally speaking, Taoist techniques are divided into four ranks and twelve grades. After reaching the first rank, each grade's leap surpasses the previous one. Practitioners of the Tenglong Realm Dao Sect usually correspond to the lower grade of the first rank. Inner Mansion Realm corresponds to the middle grade of the first rank, and Outer Building Realm corresponds to the upper grade of the first rank.

Besides the exceptionally gifted few, hardly anyone can break through this kind of limit.
>
Jiang Wang's requirements include that both secret transmission and premium quality are very important screening conditions.
Secret means this occult art is not widely known, so it's not easily targeted and exploited. Boutique means it's the pinnacle of first-rate inferior techniques.
Before pushing open the gates of Heaven and Earth, relying on his body's reaction speed and the powerful滯空 ability brought by the Four Spirits Tempering Body Art, his speed wouldn't be much inferior to opponents of the same level. However, after reaching the Tenglong Realm, cultivators could already fly through the heavens and earth, and a powerful escaping technique would become indispensable.
This is the reason why he first requested the art of escapism.
When Jiang Wuyang heard this, he glanced back at the eunuch behind him. After confirming that he had stock that met the requirements, he turned back to Jiang Wang and said: "You're quite picky, it seems like you really can take it back. This prince agrees. Come!"
At this time, Chong Xuan Sheng said again: "Inferior Dao techniques of the first rank can only be used for a while, but named artifacts can accompany you for life. This value probably doesn't match up, right"
But what he said was indeed right.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Jiang Wuyang couldn't possibly bargain with him shamelessly.
"Right now, with a sullen face, said: "This prince adds ten more Myriad Yuan Stones! If you have no sincerity, then just stop!"
At this moment, in his heart, this fat man must be the most annoying person in the world.
At first, in Maple Forest City, Fang Zehou took out a Dao Yuan Stone and wanted to buy Jiang Wang.
The basic unit of Dao Yuan Stone is the hundred yuan stone. That is, one Dao Yuan Stone stores one hundred Dao Yuans.
The value of ten Ten Thousand Yuan Stones is equivalent to one thousand Dao Yuan Stones, a truly astronomical sum.
"Enough, enough, let's begin, let's begin." Chong Xuan Sheng knew there was no more oil to squeeze out, so he smiled and walked aside.
Their demeanor was as if those bets were already in the bag, acting incredibly arrogant.
Of all the people present, only he truly understood Jiang Wang's abilities.
If he didn't firmly believe Jiang Wang could win, he wouldn't have agreed to this duel.
Although Jiang Wang was full of confidence, he wouldn't be blindly arrogant.
Before the battle, he addressed Jiang Wuyong: "Half of my life's learning lies in swordsmanship. Right now, I have no weapons. This long Xiangsi may become your trophy, but before that, please allow me to have a go."
Jiang Wuyong couldn't possibly stop this reasonable request, nor could he. He simply gave a generous nod: "Let you try for a while, what harm is there"
Then Jiang Wang walked towards the altar and finally once again grasped his sword.
He felt a sense of inner peace, as if his wandering heart had finally found a place to rest.
He perceived it so vividly, with such clarity, that this was his sword.
Draw your sword, and turn around.
"Face Jiang Wuyong directly: "Please!"
At this point, the high platform was empty. Everyone brought by both sides had already left the stage, and all of the members of the Li family crowded below. The place used for sacrificial ceremonies had become a battleground for two people.
As soon as Jiang Wang’s voice fell, Jiang Wuyong was already close at hand. His speed was extraordinary, and with a palm strike!
His palms were like mountains and rivers turning upside down, his power overwhelming the world.

However, a flame lily bloomed in his palm.
While the teleportation technique before the Tenglong Realm is indeed terrifying, in countless battles within the Tai Xu Illusionary Realm, Jiang Wang is not without experience.
He reacted with incredible speed, mobilizing his dao essence and launching a direct counter-attack.
Jiang Wuyong's palm strikes, purple robes fluttering.
Visually, the purple robe soared higher and higher, expanding until it seemed to cover the entire sky, plunging everything into darkness.
The only light in the darkness, a fleeting spark of fireworks.
But at the same time, inside Jiang Wuyong's body, wood qi grew and bound in reverse.
Dao Shu Binding the Tiger!
With this obstacle, Jiang Wang had already retreated after his lunge, about to exit the darkness.
Within Jiang Wuyong's body, purple qi suddenly surged, directly breaking the binding of wood qi. He slapped his waist jade pendant, and in the visual darkness, a glimmer of cold light appeared!

He wore a sword at his waist.
This sword is also a famous weapon, a soft sword known as the Beauty's Waist!
Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!
This sword cleaves souls and shatters spirits, the most lethal to heroes.

Once the cold light appeared, there was no escape.
Feeling the purple qi within Jiang Wu Yong, Jiang Wang swiftly extinguished the momentum of the Purple Qi Coming Sword Technique.
He realized that the Purple Qi Eastward Sword Technique from back then might have been a deduction made by the Illusory Void Realm based on the swordsmanship of the Qi State Imperial Family. To use this sword against Jiang Wuyong, would be to walk the path of death.
His hand, pressed upon the hilt of the sword.
The hilt of the sword, it was wrapped by Lian Que's own hands.
Detailed and solid.
Jiang Wang grasped the sword, grasping longing in his hand.
It's like grasping the softest spot in your heart.
What does my hometown look like now
Where are the people from my hometown now
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Being away from home, I feel like a stranger. My homeland is unbearable to think about, and the bright moon shines in the sky!
>
Jiang Wang drew his sword, unleashing a crescent moon that pierced through the darkness.
Like a memory, like a longing.
Once gazed afar, dreams in the dead of night.
Though people have scattered and gone their separate ways, the moon remains whole in the night sky.
This is the sword of sun, moon, stars!
