Chapter 093: Finding a Suitor to Buy Grain

Liuhanyi didn’t want Hua Qingkong to stand out, but capable people simply cannot hide their talents. The emperor named him to go to Longyue Kingdom to buy grain.
Longyue Kingdom is nearby, has a lot of farmland, and they are the least inclined to go to war. Moreover, they have just signed a pact with the gods, making them the best choice.
“I... don’t want to go.” Hua Qingkong returned to the royal palace with a dark expression.
“Who said you can have the Qian Kun Gate, allowing you to arrive in an instant and save time?” Liu Hanxi laughed.
“How about letting Prince Yan ride on Bai Lie?” Hua Qingkong thought of an idea.
“Then how could he learn the Mountain Moving Technique in a day?” Liu Hanxi knew he couldn't get over the hurdle of Pei Yi liking her.
Hua Qingkong shook his head.
“How about I go instead! I also have the 'Switch Technique,' and I have a dragon that might be a bit slower than your Qian Kun Sect, but at most just a day or two slower.” Liu Huanxi revealed her trump card.
Hua Qingkong's face changed from ashen to pitch black; it was impossible to add a wife to the equation.
Unexpectedly, Liu Hanxi ran over, hugged him, and gave him a fierce kiss: "My prince, you get really cute when you're jealous!"
“Go away, go away, I need to arrange the formation for moving the mountain now!” Hua Qingkong pushed her away, but Liu Hanxi clung to him like a piece of gum, refusing to budge no matter what.
“Wear the official uniform! The official uniform looks the best!” Liu Hanzheng finally stood up straight and instructed.
“Mm.” Hua Qingkong went out the door.
As soon as Hua Qingkong arrived at the prepared open space, Liu Hanzheng also arrived. Hua Qingkong stared at her and said sternly, “What important matter is it this time?”
“You haven't left at all; I'm just following your wish to not go out after you leave.” Liu Huanxi shot him an exasperated glance.
“You!” Hua Yuanshan tugged at his clothes from behind Hua Qingkong, who had no choice but to swallow his words again. Seeing that Shui Liushan had also come over, he could only let it go.
This piece of land is not far from the granary, so the soil has long been compacted. At this moment, it is covered with flat wooden planks, neatly arranged with silver boxes. Soon, Hu Qingkong will exchange the silver boxes for grain to store in the granary.
Hua Yuanshan and Hua Qingkong arranged dragon scales in eight directions and affixed yellow talismans. Hua Yuanshan stood guard here until Hua Qingkong used magic to bring food over.
Hua Qingkong opened the Qian Kun Gate, a talisman gate glowing with golden light. Liu Hanxi leaned closer and said, “So this is what it looks like! Are we not allowed to pass through?”
“I knew you had no good intentions. You're just trying to set your sights on my Qian Kun Gate! You should think twice; without any means, your flesh and blood will dissolve within, and your soul will be lost!” Hua Qingkong said fiercely, promptly grabbing her outstretched finger that was reaching for the Qian Kun Gate.
柳寒兮吐了吐舌头,自己缩回了手朝他摆了摆,道:“去吧去吧!再见!”
就见华青空摇了摇头,手捏诀跨进了门里,门随着他衣摆进去后就消失不见了。
When Hua Qingtian appeared in front of Pei Yi, he seemed completely unfazed, still wearing that carefree demeanor, playfully teasing the birds in the trees of the courtyard.
“King Zhen, we meet so soon. Tell me, can I learn your spell? Next time I want to go to Tiandu, I could get there in an instant, saving me the fatigue of the journey.” He said with a cheerful smile.
“The emperor sent me to buy some grain for emergencies. You should know this from when you came; the divine serpent appeared, causing the heavy rain.” Hua Qingkong said directly.
“I know, I know. I told the emperor at the time that we might experience a poor harvest. I planned to prepare some grain for the divine serpent as soon as I returned. As it turns out, just as I finished preparing everything, you arrived.” Pei Yi invited Hua Qingkong to the hall for tea, “It’s really thanks to the lady, oh, I mean, the princess now, right? I heard that she lured the divine serpent into the sea with her flesh and blood, which averted the disaster for Tiandu.”
“Exactly.” Hua Qingtian gritted his teeth and said.
Upon hearing this matter, Hua Qingtian recalled the horrifying wound. To conquer a more powerful beast, the witch must pay with more blood and flesh; this kind of pain is unimaginable to ordinary people. Without firm belief and courage, one cannot become a witch. Therefore, it's not that women do not want to become witches, but rather that there are few who are capable of doing so.
“您既一个人来的,那我就立即让人准备装车,送粮去御神。”裴奕点点头。
“不用,您找块开阔地,将粮堆好便行,银两也一并送上。”华青空冷冷道。
Pei Yi showed a very interesting expression; the Longyue Kingdom does not value the Tao, but this time he witnessed the Taoist practices of the Yushen Kingdom, as well as the priestess's beast-taming techniques, which he found quite fascinating.
“夫人让我带话给你。”华青空突然想起柳寒兮的交代。
“何话?”裴奕看他一本正经的样子,笑道。
“说多谢你给了天狗。上次她遇袭,天狗现了真身助她。”华青空平淡地说。
“That's good; only she is worthy of possessing this celestial dog.” Pei Yi was startled when he heard about the attack, but he felt relieved when he learned that she had been saved.
Pei Yi immediately went to prepare to move the grains out of the warehouse and neatly stack them in an empty area, waiting for the arrival of the midnight hour. This was because Hua Qingkong said it needed to be done after midnight.
He saw Hua Qingkong placing dragon scales and yellow talismans in all eight directions. After checking the weather and the stars, everything was ready. He then sat down, took out a letter from his bosom, and used his finger as a brush to draw a talisman. He placed the burning letter into the talisman and recited, “Heaven and earth are clear, pathways seek tracks, the talisman arrives, hasten as the law commands!” The letter and talisman instantly vanished without a trace.
This is a notification to Huayuan Mountain that everything is ready here, just waiting for the right time, and to let him prepare as well.
“A letter, is it being delivered to Tiandu?” Pei Yi said with a face full of surprise.
“Exactly.” Hua Qingkong replied in the same tone.
“If you want to write to me, can you also use this method?” Pei Yi asked again.
“Of course,” Hua Qingkong said as he stood up.
“Could you teach me?” Pei Yi continued to ask.
“This method of sending letters using talismans is something all my little disciples who have studied Dao at the Shouxia Temple for over three years can do. If you want to learn, you can become a lay disciple at my Shouxia Temple, and you will be able to learn these basic spells,” Hua Qingkong replied.
“Three years... that little disciple will have to call you... Master Uncle?” Pei Yi thought for a moment and said.
“Master Ancestor.” Hua Qingkong glanced at him sideways.
As soon as Pei Yi heard this, he backed down.
“I am about to perform the spell. For your safety, please retreat beyond that small hill over there,” Hua Qingkong said, pointing to a small hill on the right side as he noticed that the time was approaching.
Not far from the Hu Qingkong Station to the grain pile, a platform was set up, and then a short staff was thrown into the air, forming a seal with the eight dragon armors.
The wind rises.
Hu Qingkong recited a spell, and the wind grew stronger, making it so that Pei Yi couldn't even open his eyes. When he could finally open them again, the short staff had already reached Hu Qingkong's hand, emitting a faint glow.
The incantation chanted by Hua Qing grew louder; he raised the short staff in his hand and called out at the end, "Golden Dragon Divine General, heed my command, with the moon high in the sky, shift mountains and change forms, swiftly and as per the decree!"
Suddenly, the pitch-black sky seemed to have been smashed open, revealing countless beams of golden light. These golden rays converged, causing Pei Yi to squint his eyes. Every time he tried to open them, a sharp pain would shoot through, and it wasn't until he felt the surroundings darken that he attempted to open his eyes again. This time, the environment had returned to its original state; there were neither holes in the sky nor strong winds.
Looking back at the open space, wooden boxes were neatly arranged.
Hua Qingkong opened one of them, and inside were neatly stacked silver ingots.
Pei Yi felt like he saw nothing, yet also felt like he saw a lot.
“I’ll take my leave now, thank you, Third Prince.” Hua Qingkong didn't wait for his reply and waved her sleeve to open the Qian Kun Gate, returning to Tiandu.
