Techniques and Dao

Chapter 202 The Mission

Taishang Xiaojun was taken aback when Fuguang Tiansheng asked him about rescuing people.

"What... what are you trying to catch?"

"Isn't it about getting someone out of trouble? Usually, when people come to me for help, it's because they've done something wrong and I need to get them out. This kind of sensitive topic naturally needs to be protected from eavesdropping, so we have to talk about it while I'm taking a shower!"

"No, no! Lord Tiansheng, my friend wasn't arrested because I have other matters to attend to..." Taishang Xiaojun quickly waved his hand, and seeing that the time was right, he quickly changed the subject to the important matter, "I have come today with a matter of utmost urgency to ask you. In a moment, the Jinling Dragon Vein will be attacked by barbarian enemies. Once the Jinling Dragon Vein is severed, countless lives will be in imminent danger!"

Fu Guangtiansheng frowned and said, "Is that so! I've heard that once the dragon vein of Jinling is severed, it will inevitably cause a major earthquake in all the cities and towns along the dragon vein. It's possible that the south will also be affected!"

"To be honest, I must rely on a young man named Jin Fanyin to help me protect the dragon vein."

Fu Guangtian narrowed his eyes and said, "What is the background of this Jin Fanyin you're talking about?"

"He is the leader of the very popular idol boy group 'BRAVE'."

Fu Guangtiansheng nodded and said, "Hmm, no wonder the name sounds familiar. I've heard the kids talk about him. Apparently, he was born in our Lingnan area. He was doing quite well for a while, and he certainly brought honor to the handsome young men of Lingnan."

Tai Shang Xiao Jun said regretfully, "But during the Qiankun Guard War at the Shudao Academy, he suffered a misfortune. Many of his brothers died on the battlefield, and he himself was also injured. So now he is unwilling to come out of the mountains again."

Fu Guangtiansheng picked up a clean white towel from the side, wiped the hot sweat from his forehead, and said, "I know a little about this kind of thing. In the world of martial arts, sometimes you have to send your brothers away. Nobody wants that. Those who survive will inevitably have a psychological stress reaction. If you make them do something like that, they will have a mental disorder. They will have to rest for a long time."

"But time is of the essence! That's why I dared to ask Tian Sheng to help me check his family's ancestral genealogy."

Why do you need to check the family genealogy?

Tai Shang Xiao Jun replied, "I have carefully examined Jin Fanyin. He has an extraordinary appearance, and I suspect he must be from a prestigious family. So, if we can find out his ancestral background, we might be able to awaken his courage."

"I understand." Fu Guangtian Sheng hummed in agreement, closed his eyes, and muttered incantations while counting on his fingers.

Tai Shang Xiao Jun was afraid that her expectations would be disappointed, so she waited on the sidelines, feeling that every second was like an eternity, and her heart was filled with anxiety.

After a long while, Fu Guangtiansheng opened his eyes and said, "What you said is indeed correct. I didn't expect him to be from a military family."

He then whispered a few words in the ear of the Supreme Lord Xiaojun.

Upon hearing this, Tai Shang Xiao Jun's eyes gradually lit up with joy. He suddenly jumped up and said, "That's wonderful! I'll go back to find Fan Yin right away. Thank you in advance! I'll definitely return to thank Tian Sheng again after I've dealt with this urgent matter!"

"Hahaha! It's nothing, nothing at all! Please give my regards to Laozi, and when the Heavenly Court holds its grand gathering next time, I'll ask the immortal to remind the Jade Emperor to add a few more entries to the merit book. After you come to the sauna next time, I'll treat you to hot pot for a late-night snack!"

After saying that, Fu Guangtian wiped his bald head with a towel, and the gold watch on his wrist reflected a golden light.

Taking the opportunity, Taishang Xiaojun said, "Tiansheng, your rose gold Rolex Rainbow Daytona is truly stunning!"

"That's right! I didn't realize this young man had such good taste. When you're out in the game, you need a Rolex! It's the local custom!" Fu Guangtiansheng glanced at Taishang Xiaojun, "Your Panda Daytona is pretty good too! It's just that the crystal is cracked."

Tai Shang Xiao Jun quickly covered his arm and said, "I took this from a magazine advertisement page. I was injured when I was hit by the giant beast Chaos."

Fu Guangtiansheng's expression changed, and he said, "Hmm? How can the grandson of Laozi not care about appearances?"

He casually took off his rainbow Daytona and tossed it to Tai Shang Xiao Jun, saying, "You can take this watch and play with it, little one!"

"Such a valuable item, I... I can't possibly accept this!"

"A grown man shouldn't be so coy. Besides, the crown on this watch isn't pointing towards the 3, 6, 9, or 12 o'clock. The crooked crown is driving my OCD crazy. I was just thinking of exchanging it! Don't be shy!"

Tai Shang Xiao Jun immediately accepted it respectfully, bowed and thanked the immortal, saying, "Thank you very much, Great Immortal Fu Guang Tian Sheng, for bestowing this immortal document!"

Looking down at my watch again, I realized it was 7:38 PM!

Xiao Jun quickly grabbed a dry towel from the side and rushed outside!

Fu Guangtian shouted behind him, "Handsome boy, remember this: young people only love turtles!"

"Yes, yes, yes! You have to fight to win! I've learned my lesson!"

Tai Shang Xiao Jun waved frantically, drying her hair with a towel as she ran outside, not daring to delay for even a moment.

He rushed out of the Heavenly Sauna, ignoring the crowd of tourists around him, and shouted at the starry sky, "Hurry, hurry, as the law commands!"

The Supreme Lord sent several people flying, soaring into the sky like a whirlwind, shooting straight westward like a bullet leaving a gun barrel.

Thanks to the super-fast flight, when Tai Shang Xiao Jun landed in Chengdu, he had just dried his long hair that was wet in the bathroom.

"Jin Fanyin! Jin Fanyin!"

He rushed into the bedroom and pointed around, instantly illuminating the room.

Jin Fanyin was still huddled in the corner when the light came on, and immediately buried his head in his arms.

Without a second thought, Tai Shang Xiao Jun rushed forward, grabbed Jin Fanyin by the collar from the corner of the room, pulled him up, and shouted, "Are you even a man?! If you are, then protect this land beneath your feet! Protect the lives here!"

Jin Fan stared blankly at Taishang Xiaojun.

Tai Shang Xiao Jun snatched the rainbow Daytona watch that Fu Guang Tian Sheng had given him from his wrist, put it on Jin Fan Yin's wrist, and shouted, "Have you ever seen the Young and Dangerous movies? This Rolex is a token of our brotherhood. Someone just gave it to me, and I haven't even had a chance to wear it properly before I'm giving it to you! Now we're brothers in the same trench!"

Jin Fan said weakly, "Do you think I've never seen a Rolex before? This gold watch means nothing to me, you can take it back."

Tai Shang Xiao Jun leaned closer and shouted, "There's no time! Jin Fan, you scoundrel! Listen up! Your ancestor was Jin Di, a minister who assisted Fuxi, the progenitor of Chinese civilization, one of the Three Sovereigns, and the creator god. He was also known as Feilong Shi. You are his descendant. Therefore, you have the responsibility to protect the dragon vein; it is your duty! You must know that this is no coincidence! Tonight, it is not I, Tai Shang Xiao Jun, who have come to find you; it is your mission that has come to find you!"

Tai Shang Xiao Jun picked up his phone from the ground, stared into Jin Fan Yin's eyes, and roared:
"You veteran players, you've been playing King of Glory for so long. If there's a chance—and I mean a real chance—I could lead the immortals to resist the barbarian invasion, protect the thousand-year-old dragon vein, and defend this vast territory! If you give up now, won't you regret it when you're old—for not grabbing your phone and teaming up with your brothers to charge into this game!"

Tai Shang Xiao Jun placed the phone into Jin Fan Yin's palm.

"Go and give those wolves a good beating, and show the might of China!"

Jin Fan did not answer, but looked into Tai Shang Xiao Jun's eyes.

Tai Shang Xiao Jun smiled, because he saw the burning fighting spirit in Jin Fan Yin's eyes.

It is 12:46 PM Paris time. 7:46 PM Nanjing time. 7:46 PM Saint-Pierre de S.A. time.

There are 14 minutes left until the ultimate Solomon seal's six-pointed star magic circle is formed and the Jinling Dragon Vein is destroyed!
