Wandering among the heavens, learning has no end.

Next, Ji Yuan first sent Su Xiaoyong to Jinling.

Upon arriving in Jinling, Ji Yuan didn't rush to leave; he stayed in Jinling for a few days.

……

Jifu.

Ji Yuan met with some people.

Inside the courtyard, more than twenty people, young and old, stood in front of Ji Yuan.

They were all originally servants of the Ji family, and were extremely loyal.

Since Ji Yuan's parents had an accident and Ji Yuan was sent to Yunyin Mountain, these servants did not leave, but continued to maintain the Ji family's taverns in Jinling and other places.

With Old Master Su helping to manage the overall situation, the Ji family's business was not thrown into too much turmoil.

However, the Ji family ran into trouble, and the supply of peach blossom wine was cut off. In the past nine years, the Ji family tavern has never sold peach blossom wine again after selling off all its stock.

Fortunately, the Ji Family Martial Arts School has more than just Peach Blossom Wine as its unique liquor. The school also has a milder-tasting liquor and a very strong-tasting liquor, both made with unique techniques.

A mild-tasting liquor is called Plum Blossom Fragrance, while a strong-tasting one is called Bamboo Leaf Green.

The Ji family divided the brewing techniques for these two types of wine into many steps, which were then assigned to specific loyal servants.

Therefore, thanks to these two exclusive wines, the Ji family's tavern has remained standing and enjoys considerable fame.

Six months ago, after Ji Yuan turned eighteen, he officially took over the Ji family's business.

It just so happens that Ji Yuan is back in Jinling this time, and these servants of the Ji family have come to report on their work.

……

Not long after, Ji Yuan left Jinling and rode swiftly to Kyoto.

Only Su Xiaoyong knew the purpose of his trip; even Su Wencai was unaware.

……

The palace, night.

Ji Yuan was dressed as an ordinary person from the martial arts world, and his face had changed.

Ji Yuan's current face is modeled after Hu Ge.

When navigating the world, how can you be without an alias?

Moreover, he was doing something like breaking into the palace at night, so he had to keep a proper cover up.

The pseudonym I'm using now, Ji Yuan, has already decided on the name: Li Xiaoyao.

Ji Yuan moved like a phantom, incredibly fast, dodging many guards, and after some time, arrived at a deserted place.

This is the site where the Tower of Bliss was built a hundred years ago.

Since the Tower of Bliss disappeared, some things have happened here, turning it into an ominous place. People in the palace started to avoid it, and it gradually became a wasteland.

Wasteland is fine too, this way Ji Yuan won't have to worry about being discovered when he does things.

After arriving at this place, Ji Yuan looked around and quickly found two huge rocks.

The entrance is located beneath the artificial rock.

Ji Yuan approached the stone, channeled his inner strength into his palm, and pushed the boulder over, revealing a downward-facing entrance.

Then, Ji Yuan jumped down.

We successfully entered the Tower of Bliss.

Ji Yuan came to the Pagoda of Bliss mainly for the Karmic Fire Mother Gu.

The Karmic Fire Mother Gu is a treasure of Nan Yin. The Karmic Fire Mother Gu is the king of all Gu, capable of breeding countless Karmic Fire Gu, which can then be used to control others and turn them into puppets.

Dan Gudao had been searching for this thing, hoping to use it to control everyone and then restore his kingdom.

Although Ji Yuan felt he didn't need this thing, he had to get his hands on it first, lest someone else get it and use it against him.

As for why the Karmic Fire Mother is in the Tower of Bliss, it's because the Southern Yin sorcerer Feng Alu was the one who kept and controlled the Karmic Fire Mother.

……

Ji Yuan arrived at the Tower of Bliss, took out a flashlight, and walked inside.

Before long, Ji Yuan arrived at the location inside the tower.

The place was a mess, with gold and silver jewelry scattered all over the floor.

They'll definitely take as much of these commemorative items as they can later.

Who would complain about having too much money?

Ji Yuan continued walking inside and soon saw a skeleton lying on the bed.

This must be Feng Alu.

Ji Yuan looked at the small cauldron on Feng Alu's body. The cauldron was broken. Ji Yuan picked it up, opened it, and saw a large worm lying inside.

This thing is over a hundred years old and hasn't died yet; it's currently in a state similar to hibernation.

Ji Yuan actually wanted to kill this thing directly, since its existence was a threat.

However, he also knew that the only way to kill this thing was with the blood of the Southern Yin royal family.

In other words, only Li Xiangyi's blood can kill the Yehuo Mugu.

We can only keep it for now.

I don't know if it can be put into the system space.

He always felt unsafe carrying it on his person.

After all, this broken cauldron is called the Rama Cauldron, a treasure specifically used to protect the Karmic Fire Mother and the Karmic Fire Gu.

Similarly, protection is also a form of defense.

After all, Ji Yuan doesn't know how to control the Karmic Fire Mother Gu, and he might accidentally fall into its trap.

Ji Yuan looked at the Fiery Mother Gu and thought of his system space.

Ji Yuan had never actually tried whether the system space could hold living things before.

Perfect timing, let's try it now.

The next second, the Rama Cauldron disappeared from his hand.

Ji Yuan was secretly delighted; it really worked!

Ji Yuan then took out the Luo Mo Cauldron, and the Karmic Fire Mother Gu inside was still alive.

In that case, I can rest assured.

Ji Yuan threw the Luo Mo Ding back into the system space.

Afterwards, Ji Yuan looked around and came to a wall.

There are murals and inscriptions carved on this wall.

What Feng Alu left behind.

After he was trapped in the Tower of Bliss, perhaps out of resentment or something else, he recorded his identity, his purpose for coming there, and his affair with Consort Ying and the birth of their child.

Ji Yuan took out the Spring Breeze Sword from the system space, drew the sword, and directly peeled the wall off the Tower of Bliss.

He wasn't trying to keep the secret for the royal family; he wanted to take control of it himself.

Leaving it here isn't impossible, but the current emperor might find it and destroy it.

In the name of Li Xiangyi.

He suspects that there is a high possibility of future conflict with the royal family.

Therefore, he needs to have a backup plan.

After putting away the murals, Ji Yuan began to sweep up the jewelry.

He couldn't possibly take everything with him. The Tower of Bliss had too many jewels, and his system space already contained quite a lot of things, so he just picked and chose. He didn't know anything about jewels, so he picked gold.

After the system space was nearly full, Ji Yuan left.

Even after leaving the Pagoda of Bliss, he didn't forget to straighten the artificial rocks outside.

……

Not long after, Ji Yuan left the palace.

No one noticed them the whole time.

……

After Ji Yuan left the palace, he summoned a carrier pigeon, wrote a note, and sent the pigeon away.

Ji Yuan was the messenger for Feng Qing.

Six months ago, during the time Ji Yuan lived in Jinling after leaving the mountain, he took the opportunity to find Feng Qing through the connections of the Su and Ji families.

He had a conversation with Feng Qing once.

Of course, this is the disguise used during the conversation.

After all, it's still uncertain whether they can subdue Feng Qing.

He told Feng Qing that he had the wrong person, and that Shan Gu Dao was not a descendant of the Southern Yin royal family.

Feng Qing naturally didn't believe Ji Yuan's few words.

Ji Yuan wasn't in a hurry. He told Feng Qing that if he didn't believe him, he had a way to prove it. (Feng Qing, the victim of a great injustice)
