Chapter 67 Seeking the Law by Cutting Off a Feather

Wow.

Vichy's eyes were opened.

In the Empire and among the vampires, there are not many who follow the gods, at least not many who study magic.

Ultimately, this shortcut is not easy to take.

In the 'Law', to obtain the power of the law, one must obey its decrees and fully accept the laws of the empire.

Take Hegesius, for example. As a high-ranking knight, he held a great position and wielded great power, but he was not allowed to do many "illegal" things.

In the final laning phase against Sargeras, the arrival of his superior completely suppressed his obsession with killing Bloodlord.

In the "Eternal Night," however, the principle is unequal exchange.

Only the genius knows what those Shadow Children did to obtain Lilith's blessing.

Because of this principle of "inequality," the children of the shadows find it difficult to even summarize a normal set of rules for praying for blessings.

Even among vampires, there is a long-standing saying that the so-called inequality actually depends entirely on the mood of the Night Lady.

Therefore, Vichy was greatly amazed by the blessing of "eternity," which was completely free, based solely on bloodline inheritance and the influence of miracles.

"No wonder the Empire has always been suppressed by you; it turns out 'Eternity' is treating you so well?"

Upon hearing Vichy's mutterings, Feiyu immediately retorted.

"What do you, an imperial citizen, know?"

"Do you know how dangerous the North is?"

"Yes, the Lord of Immortality is very generous, but the miracles left behind by the messengers of immortality are limited!"

"Who doesn't want to receive more blessings? But if you eat it, will others not eat it?"

"Do you know how many groups of people in the North used to seek medicine? One hundred and ninety-seven!"

"And now? Their homes have long been swallowed up!"

Fei Yu's series of rebuttals left Vichy speechless.

But she's not as gentle and sweet-natured as she used to be.

"Ha, so that's why you don't receive true blessings, isn't it?"

"The Empire clearly has one Emperor Demigod, three Royal Families at the Ninth Rank, while your Great Prophet is only at the Sixth Rank."

"Besides, would your demigods stand up for you? The Empire can actually send the emperor into battle, you know."

"you!"

Feiyu was speechless for a moment, and her face turned red rapidly.

She never expected that this maid would dare to talk back to her. How could a second-tier maid dare to do that?

"Alright, what's done is done, let's eat first."

Shi Qing interrupted their verbal sparring, somewhat helplessly.

"Rest for the night. Also, Vichy, don't forget your homework. You're already at level two, and time waits for no one."

"The third stage of the Blood Python Fist is very important. It is called the Three Hundred Days. After three hundred days, you will automatically advance to the late stage of Qi Refining."

"what?"

Vichy paused for a moment, somewhat doubting what he had heard.

Automatically upgrade to Tier 3 after 300 days?

Has the suffering finally come to an end? All those beatings I endured weren't for nothing!

"What are you thinking about?"

Shi Qing scoffed, "Do you really think lying in bed for 300 days is a good thing?"

"Let me tell you, in these three hundred days, you need to solidify your foundation. Otherwise, let alone the Nascent Soul or Golden Core stage, you won't even be able to advance to the Foundation Establishment stage."

How far you can go in the future depends on the foundation you lay in these 300 days.

"Go, practice boxing for two hours."

"oh."

Vichy walked sullenly to an open space and began to swing his fists, generating bursts of wind and circulating his qi and blood throughout his body.

Fei Yu, standing to the side, was completely stunned.

Although she is somewhat oblivious, she is surprisingly quick-witted and intelligent when it comes to combat talent.

Looking at the wind from Vichy's punches, she vaguely sensed that this woman seemed to be different from ordinary mages.

She possessed an incredibly strong physique, with power even surpassing that of the blessed Sirius.

"Wow! I want to learn this too!"

"No!"

Suddenly, Vichy turned around and glared fiercely at Feiyu, looking like she was about to explode.

"You must concentrate when practicing boxing."

After giving Vishi a flick on the head, Shi Qing looked at Fei Yu.

"You are not my disciple, and I will not pass on my teachings to outsiders."

"How can I become your disciple? I can give you lots and lots of feathers!"

"I accept apprentices based on fate."

"fate?"

Fei Yu appeared extremely restless, rubbing his broad wings together.

She was a princess among the winged people, and she could get whatever she wanted from them.

But he immediately lost his temper when he encountered Shi Qing.

Isn't fate all about luck?

But she has never been very lucky. She lost her mother at birth, and later, when she received a divine blessing, she almost died from overload and became a feathered beast.

"Isn't there any other way?"

Feiyu was still somewhat unwilling to give up.

But Shi Qing simply shook his head.

"In fact, I've always had a question: the thick sweat on your brow, you must be the leader of the Feathered People."

But you are a princess of the Feathered People; wouldn't doing this be tantamount to inviting a wolf into the house?

Upon hearing this, Fei Yu blinked, her expression immediately falling.

"That's better than the destruction of the country and the extinction of the race."

"Father won't last much longer. If we can't find a new seventh-tier, not to mention the covetous eyes of the Sirius."

Those shepherds of the stars will definitely not let us go; they are always thirsty for miracles.

"Great Khan, do you know that there used to be 197 kinds of people seeking medicine in the North, but now only about ten kinds remain?"

Where did those medicine seekers who disappeared go?

Feiyu turned around and showed Shi Qing her back.

It was an extremely horrific wound, with two deep, bone-revealing cuts on the spine, as if a pair of wings had been severed.

"The demigod we winged people follow is called the Wingmaker. He is a giant dragon who gave our ancestors the power to fly in the air."

"But then, he left."

Without the demigods, we could no longer defeat the other seekers of medicine, and the miracles we received became fewer and fewer. Our power also degenerated, transforming us from dragons into griffins, and then into falcons.

"Perhaps in the not-too-distant future, we will become harmless pigeons, mindless monsters, at the mercy of buying and selling, to be toyed with?"

At this moment, Fei Yu suddenly knelt down on the ground, burying his head very low, his words unspoken.

Vichy, who was standing to the side, was also a little sad. She hadn’t expected that becoming weaker in the North would be such a fatal thing.

However, Shi Qing remained unmoved, even speaking with a strong sense of sarcasm.

"Does begging for medicine really work?"

"If you're asking others to save you, why can't it be the Empire and the Shepherds who save you?"

"If this is how you can find a way out, then the most amazing person in the world must be a great performer."

He looked at the stunned Fei Yu with disdain, his eyes full of contempt.

If begging for mercy were effective, then why bother cultivating immortality? Wouldn't it be enough to just kowtow to people?

After saying that, Shi Qing ignored Fei Yu and took out various materials from his Sumeru bag. He threw the wings, eyes, and wolf skin he had just captured into the materialized furnace and began to refine magical artifacts.

He was preparing to forge the feather swords used in the Zhu Guangyu Sword Formation.

Zhu Guangyu's sword formation consists of seventy-two swords: eighteen main swords and fifty-four secondary swords.

Hazan is quite strong. He has three main feathers, plus the four he had previously captured, so he can forge seven of the eighteen swords used in the main sword formation.

Shi Qing originally wanted to obtain the remaining main feather materials from this job, but now it seems that going to the dome is not a good option.

Fine, at worst I'll go see other patients seeking medicine; it'll just take a little more time.

Just then, Fei Yu suddenly walked over.

She suddenly grabbed her prized wings and broke them all off, tearing several primary feathers from the base.

The primary feathers were still stained with bloody skin, and a few drops of still-warm skin had dripped down.

"Great Khan, I have four primary feathers, which I offer to you."

"Please teach me magic, I want to become the Feather Emperor."
