A discarded disciple of the Chan Sect? I'll seize the destiny and prove myself to be a Primordi

The woman's eyes were full of spring, and she smiled. With just one leaning forward, the air around the carriage seemed to thicken.

Hu Ximei gracefully descended the carriage shaft, exuding a unique fragrance that made people gasp with every step.

Bo Yikao stood beside Ji Chang, and felt an indescribable fragrance enter his nostrils, and his mind went blank.

His willpower was far stronger than that of ordinary people, but even so, he was dazed for a full moment before he came back to his senses. His expression changed slightly, and he frowned as he looked at the woman.

Ji Chang was initially appreciative, but when the delicate fragrance entered his nostrils, his mind went blank, and he was completely stunned.

He stared intently at Hu Ximei, his gaze sliding from her eyebrows to the corners of her lips, then from her lips to her waist, his Adam's apple bobbing up and down.

Seeing his father in such a state, Boyi Kao quickly and gently touched his arm.

Seeing that Ji Chang did not move at all, Boyi Kao had no choice but to increase the force and gently pinch his father's arm.

Ji Chang was startled and came to his senses, but his voice was still somewhat unsteady: "Doctor Jiang... what does this mean?"

Seeing that he was feigning ignorance, Jiang Ziya frowned slightly, but quickly relaxed and said seriously:

"I met this woman by chance yesterday. It was a divine intervention that I was destined to have a hundred sons with you, my lord."

Ji Chang's throat bobbed again.

His hands trembled slightly as he tucked them into his sleeves and took a deep breath.

When he looked up again, he was all solemn. He straightened his clothes and bowed respectfully to Jiang Ziya.

"Ji Chang expressed his deep gratitude to Doctor Jiang, promising to repay him handsomely in the future."

"You flatter me, Your Excellency."

Hu Ximei stepped forward at the opportune moment, gave a graceful curtsy, and spoke in a sweet, soft voice, like a honey-soaked feather gently tickling the tip of one's heart:

"This humble servant is Hu Ximei, I hope Your Excellency will have mercy on me."

Ji Chang's eyes twitched. His youthful vigor had long since passed, but at this moment he felt as if a fire had been lit inside him, making his mouth dry.

He suppressed his surging emotions, maintaining his composed demeanor, and said in a deep voice:

"Let's go."

He bowed to Jiang Ziya again, then turned to Hu Ximei and said, "You will ride in the same carriage with me and serve me personally."

"Yes, my lord."

Hu Ximei smiled sweetly and swayed her hips as she followed Ji Chang into the carriage.

The carriage curtain fell, obscuring the unsettling figure.

Bo Yikao bowed to Jiang Ziya, but his brows remained furrowed as he looked at the swaying carriage, hesitant to speak, and ultimately remained silent.

Jiang Ziya stood there, watching Ji Chang's entourage disappear into the distance.

The carriage curtain was occasionally lifted by the wind, and a few faint, delicate laughs of a woman could be heard.

He sighed, wondering whether his actions today were good or evil.

Why did the eldest brother make this arrangement?

Inside the Jade Pillar Cave, Yun Zhongzi withdrew his vision from the Immortal Bean and smiled contentedly.

Ji Chang built the Lingtai, observed the appearance of a young girl, and struck the bell and drum; these events are also recorded.

At the time, he thought that Ji Chang had tarnished his own reputation to appease the emperor, but now it seems that the matter of the young girl was probably not entirely an act.

The fragrance only amplifies human desires.

Looking to the West: You Western religions intend to use Daji to bring chaos to the court, so this humble Taoist will repay you in kind.

Daji could disrupt the six-hundred-year reign of the Shang Dynasty, so it wouldn't be difficult for Hu Ximei, this nine-headed pheasant spirit who has reshaped her body and learned the art of seduction, to ruin the fortune of your Xiqi.

Taihua Mountain, Yunxiao Cave.

Meanwhile, Chi Jingzi sat cross-legged on the futon, feeling increasingly uneasy.

His own calamity wasn't too severe; one disciple could handle it.

But my teacher once said that when it came time to accept a disciple, he would just have a sudden urge.

Now that the Investiture of the Gods has begun, Yaoshi and Shiji have been listed one after another, but he has no reaction at all.

On the contrary, the Three Corpse Gods kept issuing warnings, and an intuition grew stronger and stronger. If they did not take on disciples, their tens of thousands of years of hard cultivation during this great calamity would be like the moon reflected in water, and they themselves would inevitably turn to ashes.

He couldn't sit still any longer, so he rode auspicious clouds towards Kunlun Mountain. When he arrived at the entrance of Yuxu Palace, he only saw the White Crane Boy guarding there.

"Nephew, is your teacher here?"

The White Crane Boy bowed and said:

"My master once said that if Uncle Chijingzi comes, he should inform him that he may go to Chaoge."

Chi Jingzi was taken aback upon hearing this. Chaoge?

His disciple is actually in Chaoge?

Could it be that he, like the other disciples of his fellow disciples, is the son of a high-ranking official?

He took out a magic pill from his sleeve and handed it over, which the White Crane Boy accepted with a smile.

Inside the Jade Void Palace, the Primordial Heavenly Venerable naturally knew everything that happened outside.

At this moment, Yuanshi Tianzun frowned and looked towards the Thirty-Third Heaven with a hint of resentment.

Chaoge City.

Although Chi Jingzi concealed his aura with immortal techniques, the Obsessive Corpse was naturally adept at hiding itself, and judging others by one's own standards, it was not difficult to discover him.

Through the eyes of the Obsessive Corpse, Yun Zhongzi followed Chi Jingzi from afar, wondering why Chi Jingzi was not quietly reciting the "Huang Ting" in his cave, but had come to Chaoge.

This person's cultivation has reached the late stage of Taiyi Xuanxian, and he has slain his evil corpse and entrusted it to the purple ribbon immortal robe. He only needs to slay his good corpse to directly enter the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.

Nowadays, Senzu Beans are of such low quality that they would be detected if monitored constantly.

Left with no other choice, the Obsessive Corpse had to wrap itself in layers of various immortal powers, along with a purification barrier and a bewitching array, and follow behind at a distance.

Strangely enough, Chi Jingzi concealed himself all day long, going in and out of the mansions of high-ranking officials, imperial relatives, and even wealthy merchants and gentry, but he never talked to anyone or took any items. He would just take a look around and then leave.

Day after day, they ran faster and faster, more and more urgently.

Neither of them noticed that behind them, another golden lotus was silently blooming, following even closer and faster than the Obsessive Corpse.

On this day, Yin Jiao took Yin Hong out of the city for a stroll.

The two princes have been living in the palace for a long time and rarely have the opportunity to come out and get some fresh air.

The plan was to first visit Wen Zhong at the Grand Tutor's residence, and then linger at Jiang Ziya's residence for a while to offer condolences on behalf of the royal family. This was also an order given by Emperor Xin.

After all, it wouldn't be long before Jiang Ziya was ordered to go to Jizhou to assist Marquis Su Hu in quelling the rebellion.

The moment Yin Jiao and Yin Hong stepped out of the palace gate...

Chi Jingzi suddenly trembled, on a whim.

The sensation was extremely faint, as if it could dissipate with a single breath at any moment.

Overjoyed, he blurted out, "Haha, my chance has come!"

The surrounding residents looked at each other in bewilderment, searching for the source of the sound.

Before Chi Jingzi could finish speaking, he transformed into a streak of light and rushed straight towards the direction of the sensation.

The obsessive corpse and the golden lotus dared not slack off and simultaneously exerted their strength to keep up.

Chi Jingzi charged so fast and quickly that the two almost lost him.

Fortunately, Chaoge City was not large, and before long, Chi Jingzi had settled down and stood in front of Yin Hong.

He straightened his clothes, suppressed his excitement, put on a solemn expression, and appeared, proclaiming loudly:

"I am Chijingzi from Yunxiao Cave on Mount Taihua."

Soldiers quickly surrounded them, and Yin Jiao, true to his elder brother's character, stepped forward to protect his younger brother behind him.

Upon seeing this, Chi Jingzi was taken aback and quickly looked at Yin Hong, saying:

"Would you be willing to become my disciple? By the way, my junior brother is Jiang Shang, the Grand Master of the State of your dynasty."
