Chapter 177: Dr. An Eats Melons Online

The woman was very beautiful, like a bright moon in the night sky; simply standing there was enough to attract men's attention.

However, An Jing merely glanced at her, his attention more focused on the old governess behind the woman.

First Rank Earth Flower Realm!

In the Jianghu, a First Rank Earth Flower Realm expert was already considered an extremely powerful master, and An Jing had only seen two individuals willing to bow down and obey in such a manner so far.

One was Li Fuzhou, and the other was the middle-aged woman beside Prince Zhao Chongyin.

The identities of their masters were both extraordinary.

Thus, the identity of the woman before him must also be absolutely extraordinary.

And this stunningly beautiful woman was none other than Princess Anle of the Great Yan Dynasty, Zhao Xuening.

“Old monk, what do you think of this jade?”

Zhao Xuening walked up to Puhui Bodhisattva, completely oblivious to An Jing standing nearby.

At this moment, An Jing had not completely concealed his presence; he had merely reined in all his Qi, making him seem utterly unremarkable.

Master!

However, the old governess beside Zhao Xuening looked over with vigilance, her heart filled with solemnity.

How could a swordsman who could converse so pleasantly with Puhui Bodhisattva be an ordinary person? This person was definitely a top-tier master.

An Jing’s expression remained calm and composed; he merely glanced over before retracting his gaze.

Beauty eventually fades, and youth eventually wanes. The world is never short of beautiful women.

Some people worship beautiful women like gods; those are the biggest idiots in this world.

Once you possess power and wealth, you will realize that beautiful women are the least of your concerns.

What is lacking is a genuine emotion, and that is priceless.

“This jade is quite good.”

Puhui Bodhisattva took the jade, stroking it for a moment: “Looking at it, it is lustrous and pure; touching it, it is as delicate and smooth as a baby’s skin. It is indeed a fine piece of jade.”

Zhao Xuening thought of something and said joyfully, “Let’s use this Dushan jade to make a jade Buddha as a gift for Uncle. He will surely love it very much.”

Zhao Xuening’s mother was Zuo Linglong, the most beautiful woman in the world back then, and her uncle was none other than Zuo Biwen, the current Valley Master of Youfeng Valley.

Among the seven major Schools of the Great Yan Jianghu, apart from Youfeng Valley, the other Schools, if not avoiding Buddhism like the plague, at least kept a respectful distance. Only Zuo Biwen, the Valley Master of Youfeng Valley, held a special fondness for Buddhism.

Many speculated that it might be because Zuo Biwen had a past grievance with Lin Yiyang when he was young, and ever since, he would always act contrary to Lin Yiyang in everything he did.

Many in the Jianghu knew that Lin Yiyang had a very good personal relationship with Prince Zhao Chongyin, so Youfeng Valley severed all ties with the Prince’s faction and instead befriended the Second Prince, Zhao Mengtai.

The same applied to Buddhism.

What was most talked about was once, during the preparations for a grand event of the Yuheng Sword Sect, an Elder reportedly asked if they should invite Disciples from Youfeng Valley to ease the enmity between the two Schools.

But at that time, Lin Yiyang raised an eyebrow and retorted, “What enmity is there between the Yuheng Sword Sect and Youfeng Valley?”

It wasn’t that Lin Yiyang was mocking; he had truly long forgotten the past grievance with Zuo Biwen.

When this matter spread throughout the Jianghu, many Jianghu individuals secretly admired Lin Yiyang’s broad-mindedness, while instead ridiculing Zuo Biwen, calling him narrow-minded.

Puhui Bodhisattva put his palms together in front of his chest, “Valley Master Zuo is devoted to Buddhism. If this jade is made into a jade Buddha and given to him, it would naturally be excellent.”

Valley Master Zuo!?

Uncle!?

Upon hearing this, An Jing’s mind raced, and in an instant, he guessed the identity and background of this person.

Another noble from the Great Yan Imperial Family; no wonder Puhui Bodhisattva personally protected her.

Zhao Xuening heard this and immediately smiled, saying, “Please package the jade on the second floor for me. Afterward, I’ll hire a craftsman to engrave it.”

“Yes.”

The old governess beside her quickly bowed and then walked towards the second floor.

An Jing chuckled, saying, “Great Master, I will go buy some jade now.”

“Please do as you wish, Benefactor.”

Puhui Bodhisattva placed his palms together in front of his chest.

An Jing came to the counter and said, “Show me some jade with good quality.”

An Jing didn’t know much about jade, but he could generally tell whether it was good jade or not.

“Alright!”

The shop assistant quickly took out some jade from under the counter, “These jades are unpolished and uncarved. If you want finished products, we also have them here, though the price will be slightly higher.”

An Jing glanced at them, casually pointed to a few, and said, “These jades are enough. Please wrap them up for me.”

Anyway, he just needed to feed the Holy Essence Gu some jade first. As long as the Holy Essence Gu didn’t die, it wouldn’t be too late to find rare jade later.

Zhao Xuening looked at the black-robed man curiously and asked in a low voice, “Great Master, who is this?”

“A Benefactor who is not a Benefactor,”

Puhui Bodhisattva thought for a moment and said.

A Benefactor who is not a Benefactor?

Zhao Xuening was even more confused upon hearing this.

A Benefactor is a Benefactor. What does a Benefactor who is not a Benefactor mean?

“That will be thirty-two taels of silver in total.” The shop assistant smilingly placed the packaged jade in front of An Jing.

An Jing placed the silver on the counter.

The shop assistant took the silver in his palm and immediately knew if the weight was sufficient. He then said, “Alright, guest, please feel free to ask if you have any other requests.”

The shop assistant was very pleased with this guest who didn’t haggle and was very straightforward.

An Jing picked up the packaged jade, walked to Puhui Bodhisattva, and said with a smile, “Great Master, mountains and rivers meet, we shall meet again.”

Puhui Bodhisattva put his palms together in front of his chest and said, “The karmic affinity between Buddhism and Benefactor is not shallow; I believe we will meet again.”

An Jing nodded and walked out of the jade shop.

The brilliant sunlight streamed down onto the street, making people feel a little dizzy and mesmerized.

“Hmm!?”

Suddenly, An Jing felt the Town Evil Sword in his hand tremble.

Since acquiring the Town Evil Sword, this was the first time such a situation had occurred.

An Jing calmly looked around.

The market was bustling with people coming and going, and a familiar figure walked through the crowd.

It was the fortune teller.

He was holding a divining plate as he walked, a faint smile on his face.

At the same time, several strong Auras surged from the surroundings, their Killing Intent almost completely unconcealed. The target of these Auras was the jade shop behind An Jing.

“They’re inside.”

A voice rang out from the crowd. A man in plain clothes leaped forward, striking the jade shop with his palm.

“Buzz buzz!” “Buzz buzz!”

Internal Energy surged like a tide, emitting a vibrating sound. A giant palm emerged from it, as if a ten-million-pound boulder had fallen.

“Bang!”

The outer walls and wooden pillars of the jade shop instantly scattered, turning into splinters.

But as the palm continued to descend, a golden light enveloped the area.

This was the Vajra Indestructible Body of Buddhism!

“Thud!”

The palm was instantly pierced by the golden light, vanishing into thin air.

Dust billowed all around, and the residual Qi surged like a tide. Several ordinary people nearby were instantly reduced to a bloody mist, while those further away also had their internal organs shattered by the powerful Qi, falling to the ground and dying.

An Jing was not far away; he retreated rapidly, avoiding the incoming surges of Qi.

Just then, a body fell in front of him. It was the young boy who had guided him earlier. In his hand, he still tightly clutched the two taels of silver, which were now covered in red blood.

An Jing’s brow furrowed slightly at this sight.

“Quick, run!”

Upon seeing this, the people of Ping County were terrified and ran away frantically, as if fearing being caught in the crossfire. There were also a few Jianghu individuals who looked on with horror, staring intently at the master who had unleashed the palm strike.

With that one palm strike, it was clear that this person was an absolute top-tier master of this era.

“amitābha!”

The dust gradually dispersed, revealing Puhui Bodhisattva standing amidst the ruins. Behind him were the somewhat pale Zhao Xuening and the old governess.

“Puhui, move aside, and I will spare your life.”

The fortune teller said with a faint smile.

Grandmaster!?

An Jing felt the Qi emanating from him and was instantly shocked.

He hadn't expected the fortune teller to be a Grandmaster expert; he hadn't even noticed it just now.

Puhui Bodhisattva looked at the fortune teller, frowning as he asked, “The murderous Aura on Benefactor is truly rare. Could it be an expert from the Black Ice Terrace?”

The Black Ice Terrace of Zhao State.

This faction was known to everyone in the world.

In Zhao State, the Black Ice Terrace was the undisputed number one power. Its influence was so vast that it controlled over seventy percent of Zhao State's experts, and even the Zhao State Imperial Family was manipulated and controlled by it.

In Zhao State, the Black Ice Terrace was heaven.

Furthermore, the Black Ice Terrace specialized in researching various Evil Path martial arts and Medicinal Pills, which, while making its prestige famous throughout the world, also made it notorious.

It was rumored that the once famous Blood Spirit Art was a martial art spread by the Black Ice Terrace, and the Joyous Union Sect was also said to have a strong connection with the Black Ice Terrace.

In short, many atrocities in the world were inseparable from the Black Ice Terrace.

Not only that, the Black Ice Terrace also had the famous Blood Aversion Pill, which could increase the probability of a Half-Step Grandmaster reaching Grandmaster, attracting countless experts from all over the world to join the Black Ice Terrace.

It could be said that the place with the most experts in the world today was the Black Ice Terrace.

Moreover, this massive hand continuously extended, spreading to all corners of the world. Who knew if there were Black Ice Terrace manipulations in those dark corners?

However, compared to the Demonic Cult, the Black Ice Terrace had always been very mysterious and rarely took the initiative to stir up trouble in the Jianghu.

Furthermore, in Great Yan, the Black Ice Terrace's situation was even more tragic than that of the Demonic Cult, so its power was not considered very strong.

The fortune teller did not speak. Several experts around him had already walked to his side, two of whom were actually Half-Step Grandmasters.

The person on the left was an old man, with a calm and detached expression, one hand behind his back. He was the one who had just struck with his palm.

The other was a middle-aged man, holding a silver long hook that gleamed brightly. His expression was cold and sinister, and his appearance was extremely ugly, like a ghost rakshasa from the underworld, inspiring fear.

The old governess behind Zhao Xuening, upon seeing the two, frowned and whispered, “Xiao Xiang Shui Yun Leng Xiao, Silver Hook Rakshasa Lin Zisheng!?”

Xiao Xiang Shui Yun Leng Xiao was a master of the same generation as Lou Xiangzhen, but he had disappeared from the Jianghu decades ago. Although he was much less renowned than Lou Xiangzhen, who had made a name for himself in an era, he was still a formidable master.

Now, after years of seclusion, not involving himself in Jianghu affairs, his sudden appearance and cultivation reaching the Half-Step Grandmaster realm was somewhat unexpected.

The other, Silver Hook Rakshasa Lin Zisheng, was originally the chief enforcer of the Raging Whale Gang. At that time, his cultivation was only at the First Rank Earth Flower Realm. When the Cao Gang and Raging Whale Gang clashed, he once suppressed Tian Liu of the Cao Gang. Later, this person mysteriously disappeared, as if he had vanished into thin air.

This also led to the decline of the Raging Whale Gang, which was later annexed by the Cao Gang, establishing the latter's reputation as the number one gang in the world today.

Some said he went into seclusion in the Jianghu, some said he might have died long ago, and others said he fled to another country and was no longer in Great Yan.

Now, he has also suddenly appeared, and his cultivation has surprisingly reached Half-Step Grandmaster, which sounds somewhat dreamlike.

Besides these two, there were several other masters behind them, all with Second Rank and First Rank cultivation based on their Qi Auras.

The fortune teller shook the banner in his hand and said nothing.

Puhui Bodhisattva's expression darkened, and he slowly said, "Could it be that Benefactor is Qi Shu?"

When the name Qi Shu appeared, the old嬷嬷's face turned pale, and Zhao Xuening also looked as if struck by a bolt from the blue.

"My regards."

The fortune teller said lightly, "I don't have much time. If that old man from the palace arrives, or if the old scholar from the Lu Family makes a move, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to escape. I'll only give you three breaths to consider."

What kind of master was Puhui Bodhisattva!?

Although he reached the Grandmaster realm with the Bodhisattva fruit status in Buddhism, and it has only been a few years, he is still a Grandmaster. Yet, Qi Shu gave him three breaths to consider. If he didn't retreat, it seemed Qi Shu was prepared to attack him fiercely.

This showed the arrogance in his words and attitude.

"Falling Star from Beyond the Heavens, Qi Shu?"

An Jing's heart also trembled, and he immediately retreated continuously.

The Jianghu of Yan State and Zhao State were not interconnected, but the top masters of Yan State and Zhao State were renowned throughout the world.

There were dozens of them in total, and Qi Shu was one of them.

This person was the Disciple of Zhao State's number one master, Qi Wushuang.

Qi Wushuang was a top master renowned throughout the world. Not to mention that Zhao State revered him as a god, even the masters of Yan State admired him greatly.

Qi Wushuang's original name was Qi Xuandao, born in Zhao State. He entered the Black Ice Terrace to Cultivate at a young age. When he began to Cultivate, he did not show extraordinary talent. Compared to other top masters of his generation, he was even considered inferior.

Qi Xuandao never showed off, and by his forties, his cultivation was only around Second Rank, not outstanding, and even unremarkable.

But as time passed, Qi Xuandao's cultivation progress suddenly became incredibly fast. In just twenty years, he became the number one master in Zhao State, defeating countless renowned masters and becoming an existence at the peak of the entire world.

Late bloomer, formidable future generation.

It is said that Ye Ding of Zhenyi Sect once went to Zhao State to discuss Dao with Qi Xuandao and was narrowly defeated. This incident caused a huge stir in the Great Yan Jianghu at the time.

One must know that Zhenyi Sect had always proclaimed Ye Ding as the number one master in the Great Yan Jianghu, and now he was defeated by Qi Xuandao of Zhao State, which undoubtedly brought shame to the Great Yan Jianghu.

And Ye Ding and Zhenyi Sect never came out to explain.

Of course, no one witnessed this incident personally, so only Ye Ding and Qi Xuandao knew whether it was true or false.

Zhao State considered Qi Xuandao Unparalleled, so they called him Qi Wushuang. This name has been used for over forty years, so everyone in the world has become accustomed to it, and some have even forgotten Qi Wushuang's true name.

Qi Xuandao's cultivation was unfathomable, one of the top five, or even top three, masters in the entire world. He is still active in Zhao State today, serving as the pillar of Zhao State, which is one of the reasons why Zhao State has suppressed Yan State for decades.

Qi Xuandao had three Disciples in his life, and Qi Shu was his youngest and most talented Disciple.

Qi Shu was not only Qi Xuandao's Disciple but was also adopted by him from a young age and treated as his own. His Aptitude was evident from a young age, and his cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds. Among his peers, only the Daoist cultivating diligently on Zhenyi Sect's mountain could steadily surpass him.

Despite being below Xiao Qianqiu, Qi Shu still had hopes of succeeding Qi Xuandao and becoming the number one master in Zhao State.

"amitābha."

Puhui Bodhisattva clasped his hands in front of his chest, but his feet remained unmoved.

"Then I, Qi, won't be polite."

Qi Shu finished speaking indifferently and took a step forward.

It seemed like a calm step, but his Aura surged like rolling waves, instantly engulfing everything.

Others could not feel it at all, but Puhui Bodhisattva felt as if mountains were collapsing and the earth was splitting apart.

The next moment, Qi Shu had already arrived in front of Puhui Bodhisattva, then threw a punch, landing heavily on the light shield in front of Puhui Bodhisattva.

"Boom!"

Immediately, the earth began to tremble, and the surrounding houses shook violently.

As this punch landed, Puhui Bodhisattva's face turned pale.

"The Buddhist Vajra Indestructible Body indeed has some skill."

Qi Shu smiled faintly, then clenched his five fingers tightly, as if to crush the air in the gaps.

His feet moved with the wind, as fast as thunder.

Black Qi swirled around his body, looking somewhat overbearing and eerie, inspiring awe.

"Boom!"

Another punch landed heavily, like a falling meteor, smashing onto the golden light shield.

At the moment of impact, the surging Internal Energy rushed outwards like a tide.

"Quick, go!"

The old嬷嬷 grabbed Zhao Xuening's arm and flew away into the distance.

"Where do you think you're going!?"

Leng Xiao and Lin Zisheng rushed over rapidly.

Lin Zisheng's long hook vibrated, and several cold lights shot out from it, like several venomous snakes emerging.

"Hiss!"

The old嬷嬷's chest was directly struck by the cold light, and in the nick of time, she pushed Zhao Xuening away.

Meanwhile, Leng Xiao's body leaped, like an eagle spreading its wings, and he directly grabbed Zhao Xuening's neck with one hand, then lifted her entire body.

"Wuwu… Wuwu…"

At this moment, the stunning beauty's expression was disheveled. Her fair neck was clutched by Leng Xiao, her face was flushed, and her mouth was wide open, but she couldn't utter a single word.

Lin Zisheng's mouth curved into a cold smile, saying, "Senior Leng, you truly have no pity for women. Don't hurt Princess Anle."

Leng Xiao said indifferently, "She won't die. I'm just preventing her from biting her tongue to commit suicide."

Lin Zisheng's eyes shone brightly, and he laughed, "Princess, this is the Emperor's most beloved Princess."

On the other side, Puhui Bodhisattva also couldn't withstand that terrifying punch.

"Crack! Crack!"

The Vajra Indestructible Body, which Lin Yiyang had struggled so hard to break, instantly shattered in the blink of an eye.

"Wah!"

Puhui Bodhisattva spewed blood from his mouth and retreated repeatedly.

Several Jianghu masters who witnessed this scene were scared out of their Three Ethereal Souls and Seven Corporeal Spirits, as if they had seen the most terrifying thing in the world.

The Grandmaster-level Puhui Bodhisattva couldn't even withstand two punches from Qi Shu.

How terrifying was Qi Shu's strength?

An Jing's eyebrows raised. In his memory, the last time he was so shocked was on the Ancestral Master Mountain of Blue River Sect.

Lou Xiangzhen killed Bai Qun with two swords.

However, Bai Qun's strength was considerably stronger than Puhui Bodhisattva's.

"Quick, go."

Seeing this scene, An Jing's body continued to drift into the distance, fearing that he would attract trouble he shouldn't.

The Black Ice Terrace suddenly dispatched such masters, which might involve the conflicts between Zhao State, Later Jin, and Great Yan. He didn't want to get involved in these grudges and entanglements.

Qi Shu saw Leng Xiao grabbing Princess Anle and said indifferently, "Let's go."

"Yes."

Leng Xiao and Lin Zisheng nodded.

The next moment, Qi Shu and the others, taking Zhao Xuening, disappeared from the spot.

Clean and decisive, without any delay, as if extremely thorough arrangements had been made before they started.

"They're really bold."

An Jing looked at the scene before him, somewhat stunned.

One must know that Ping County was within the scope of Yujing City. The Black Ice Terrace masters suddenly attacked and abducted Princess Anle. This was simply a provocation to the Great Yan Imperial Family.

Compared to what he had done, which was merely killing a few Great Perfected Persons and a peak master of Zhenyi Sect, it was completely minor.

An Jing had always been the protagonist in the center of the stage, but today, as a bystander, he looked at the common people lying on the ground on both sides and couldn't help but sigh with a sense of melancholy.

When he and Cui Daoxian fought in Huang Yao Town, the commotion might have been even greater than now, but it didn't result in any casualties among ordinary people.

How can ants survive between heaven and earth?

Little did they know that when others stepped down, they unintentionally crushed tens of thousands of ants.

"I wonder how much turmoil this will cause. Yujing City is probably going to be in chaos. I should leave this place quickly."

An Jing's body leaped, and in the blink of an eye, he disappeared from the spot.

At this moment, only the powerful Black Flood Dragon could give him some sense of security.

And not long after he left, an old man in a black python robe appeared in the ruins.

The old man had white hair, a bitter expression, and looked like an ordinary old man. The most striking feature was that his two eyebrows were white.

"amitābha."

Puhui Bodhisattva, sitting cross-legged on the ground, opened his eyes when he saw the newcomer, with a hint of helplessness in his expression.

"Lord Ming!"

The old嬷嬷 saw the old eunuch appear and scrambled over, crying, "The Princess… the Princess was abducted by Qi Shu of the Black Ice Terrace."

"Qi Shu!?"

The old eunuch frowned and asked, "Which direction did they go?"

"North."

The old嬷嬷 quickly said.

"I understand."

Upon hearing this, the old eunuch moved, and the next moment he disappeared from the spot, appearing dozens of feet away.

Shrinking the Ground into Inches, clearly a Grandmaster.

Usually, a Grandmaster being able to cover several feet in an instant was already extremely impressive, but this white-browed old eunuch instantly covered dozens of feet.
