The Raven That Passes By

Chapter 476 - 278 Library_3


Qiongqi, "Scripture of Mountains and Seas · Inner Northern Scripture" also has records, with the appearance of a tiger, having wings, adept at fighting, extremely ferocious, likes eating good people, and protecting evil ones.


Depending on each person's mana, and inherent abilities, the dragon and tiger cultivated will be different.


Rather than thinking about which kind of dragon, or which kind of tiger to cultivate into, one should consider more whether they are able to cultivate into one at all.


Extremely difficult, otherwise why would it be called Great Divine Power? The required mana is tremendous, with becoming an Immortal being merely the entry point, evidently it's a cultivation technique from before the interruption of the Dragon Vein.


In terms of combat capability, Li Changzhou had already entered the realm of Immortals, but it was uncertain whether he had the mana.


It didn't matter if he had none, as Li Changzhou wasn't looking to master this Divine Skill, but to use "Dragon Tiger Great Divine Power" to spark inspiration in "Dragon Slayer," adding another method to his arsenal against enemies.


At the same time, thinking of ways to realize Jiajing Emperor's dream of immortality.

In modern times, a widely-travelled modern person would only give them a few extra glances;


But in the middle of the Ming Dynasty, when the commodity economy was just budding, many people had never left their hometown, and without mobile phones, should the two travel directly, it may cause a traffic accident.


This is not an exaggeration.


"Instinct" can change a person; after Yang Qinglan obtained [Gu She Divine Woman], it couldn't be said she was as beautiful as a Heavenly Immortal because she was one.


"Physical Enhancement" could make Li Changzhou so handsome that Yang Qinglan couldn't take her eyes off him, and Turquoise Pool drooled—according to Li Changzhou, of course, just as it could also make Li Qianxia as charming as peach blossoms, and as delicate as a baby—according to Li Qianxia herself.


There's also the temperament change that cultivation brings about in a person.


Causing a traffic accident is actually no big deal; the concern is that some noble princes or Immortals and demons may come looking for trouble.


So after Li Changzhou left, they did not hurry out but also checked their Storage Bags and hastily learned a spell to conceal their appearances. As long as they don't fight, those with less mana wouldn't pay attention to their appearances and temperament, even if they could see them.


Such a spell is almost a necessity for Immortals—especially for fairies.


Of course, it's the same for Demon Lords, as a wanted criminal, who wouldn't stay low to avoid prison food or getting surrounded by the upright path?


The two left the courtyard, pretending to be sisters out for fun, and attracted no special attention.


Today is New Year's Eve, with people coming and going, busy visiting temples to burn incense, buying couplets, New Year paintings, and Divine Statues for the gates; decorations lit up the place with extraordinary vitality.


As mentioned earlier, this is not the era of Zhu Yuanzhang. With the emergence of a commodity economy, the living standards of the people in the Ming Dynasty have not only improved but at least have become more enriched.


Jugglers, sugar artists, horse-dangling, cuju, leaf plays... Tang Xianzu, who wrote "The Peony Pavilion," is to be born in a decade, in an era that loves enjoyment.


The child who got five Yongle Tongbao (Copper Coins) as New Year's money in advance, called his friends and swaggered about, with the air of a wealthy man as if to buy the whole street.


Li Qianxia had already been dazzled.


Speaking of the festive atmosphere, ancient times are in no way inferior to modern times, because in ancient times, these were all the entertainments available, naturally given full play.


"It's so lively! Sister-in-law, look, there's even football for sale!" Li Qianxia said excitedly.


"That's nothing." said an old man from the capital with property, who had been dead nearly five hundred years, "You must be from out of town, right? Wait until the Lantern Festival, then the capital truly becomes lively!"


"Really?" Li Qianxia could chat with anyone, showing no concern for the old man's boastfulness.


The old man snorted proudly, "Would I lie to you kids? By that time, lanterns will deck the city, no, the city will be in the lanterns! Plus riddles, pleasure boats, those noble ladies and misses will also come out!"


"Old Zhou, what are you doing? Everyone's waiting for you, come on, let's go listen to the music!"


"Alright, alright! Yicui Lou? Yicui Lou? Or is it Yicui Lou?" Old Zhou stepped lively and disappeared in the crowd in a blink of an eye.


That's right. In the brothels of the Ming Dynasty, railings were installed as stages for guests to appreciate the grace of the courtesans, and this was also the origin of 'hooking-up'.


After watching Old Zhou leave, Li Qianxia said to Yang Qinglan, "Qing Lan, let's go to the brothel too, order a couple of girls to listen to music! The fastest way to gather information is definitely in that kind of place!"


"That means there are many experts in the brothel, and if a fight breaks out there, when your brother comes, do you think he won't discipline you too?"


"No way, to discipline your own sister in a brothel, would that still be considered siblings?"


"Don't talk dirty on the streets of 1539."


"Hehe, okay, we won't go to the brothel, let's go buy couplets! Maybe we'll see a Scholar writing couplets on the spot? We might hear some gossip! Maybe we'll even encounter historical figures!" Li Qianxia hooked arms with Yang Qinglan, eagerly heading forward.


"Li Shizhen is alive in this era," Yang Qinglan said with a smile.


Yet her mind was pondering something else.


The Lantern Festival is the liveliest time in the capital. Could that have something to do with becoming an Immortal?
