Looking at Xu Lin's actions, I felt slightly happy.
If I had guessed wrongly before, then his actions now proved that his purpose in participating in this matter was not to understand the danger in Shenzhen, but to covet the Jizhou Cauldron.
From this, it could be seen that he definitely knew the use of the Jizhou Cauldron!
So I didn't say anything and just quietly watched as he continued to transfer Dao Qi from the bead into the Dao Qi ring around his body.
This bead was very extraordinary. After Xu Lin channeled several times more Dao Qi than his cultivation level, the Dao Qi in the bead did not decrease in the slightest. It continued to gush out in large amounts, as if there was no end to it.
A large amount of Dao Qi wrapped around Xu Lin's body. With Liu Qingji and Secretary Zhang's naked eyes, they naturally couldn't see any traces of Dao Qi. However, the majestic aura still made them feel it. They looked at Xu Lin in a daze, their eyes filled with endless respect.
After about half an hour, Xu Lin's tightly closed eyes suddenly opened. The bead in his hand shattered with a "pa" sound, turning into dust and falling to the ground.
Xu Lin didn't care at all. He didn't even look at it. He freed a hand and waved it twice in the air. The Dao Qi that wrapped around his body rotated left and right with his movements, faintly emitting a huge aura.
I was shocked as I looked at it. This Dao Qi was not inferior to a Celestial Master in terms of scale. Although their realms were different, it was incredible that Xu Lin could emit Dao Qi of such scale as a cultivator in the early stages of Glorious Memory.
After drawing out the majestic Dao Qi, Xu Lin didn't waste any time. He pressed down with his right hand, and the Dao Qi followed his movements, moving from top to bottom and disappearing into the ground.
Even though the qi of the Dao was of the five elements, its might was indisputable. After it entered the ground, countless specks of dust instantly flew into the air, and it just happened to be like a yellow dragon emerging from the ground and ceaselessly circling and whistling. After a long while, the yellow dragon dispersed, and Xu Lin's emaciated figure appeared once more.
Originally, Xu Lin looked ordinary, and he didn't have much of an aura. In addition, he had a protruding mouth and monkey cheeks. At first glance, people couldn't feel any respect for him.
But after the scene just now, not to mention Liu Qingji, even I feel that Xu Lin's bearing is steady, his eyes are bright, and his body has an indescribable sage-like demeanor.
"Mr. Liu, Mr. Zhang."
Xu Lin didn't address Liu Qingji and Liu Qingji by their official titles and only addressed them as Mister, which made him seem even more like an outsider.
After greeting them, Xu Lin continued, "Now that the Dragon Qi has been sent into the node, the problem of Pengcheng City's Dragon Qi deficiency has been resolved. We only need a few more days to recover."
Although I know that Shenzhen is also known as Pengcheng, I still prefer to call it Shenzhen.
However, this Xu Lin was originally from Shenzhen and his words carried a bit of ancient charm.
Hearing that it was settled, Liu Qingji and Secretary Zhang were overjoyed and thanked him profusely.
Liu Qingji didn't even care about the prestige of a provincial official and cupped his hands in greeting.
Only I smiled at the side. Shenzhen's Dragon Qi is deficient, and what it lacks is half a Dragon Vein. Although Xu Lin's white pearl is mystical, it only contains the Dao Qi of a Celestial Master. How can a few broken stones be used to mend the heavens?
But then again, I have to admit that Xu Lin is a clever person.
Looking at his way of doing things, although he swindles people, he isn't so careless and only relies on bluffing.
He really did put in a lot of effort. Although the Dao Qi in the white pearl can't completely resolve the crisis in Shenzhen, it can hold on for ten days to half a month. During this period of time, the situation will definitely be much better.
When the time limit is over and Liu Qingji and Secretary Zhang discover that something is wrong, they might have to rely on Xu Lin to solve the problem. At that time, even if they have doubts in their hearts, they won't dare to show it on their faces, and they won't easily blame him.
Or maybe Xu Lin will leave after this mission. When the matter is exposed, Liu Qingji and Secretary Zhang will know that they have been deceived. Where can they find Xu Lin then?
After hearing Liu Qingji's thanks, Xu Lin only stroked his beard and accepted his bow. Then, he said, "Although the matter has been resolved, the Dragon Qi borrowed from the outside is not automatically activated by the Dragon Vein. Once the Dragon Qi dissipates again, it will be beyond redemption."
Liu Qingji and Secretary Zhang were currently filled with joy. When they suddenly heard these words, they were immediately stunned. There was no longer a trace of a smile on their faces. After a long time, they asked nervously, "Master Xu, are you saying that the newly sent Dragon Qi will dissipate again?
This … What should we do?
Can't we find the reason for the dissipation of the Dragon Qi? "
Xu Lin shook his head. "The Dragon Vein is born from the mountains and rivers. It is a gift from the heavens. How can mortals find the reason for the dissipation of the Dragon Qi?"
Liu Qingji's expression changed again. His voice became sorrowful. "Could it be that our Shenzhen City has developed too quickly these past few years, and has incurred the jealousy of the heavens?
Could it be that there is no way to resolve this? "
I was happy in my heart. 'Is Xu Lin starting to find excuses for himself?'
The reason he found could be considered dignified. Unless he experienced the matter of the cellar like me, even if he found a Yang God Celestial Master, he wouldn't be able to find the reason, nor would he be able to refute Xu Lin's words.
Who knew that I had guessed Xu Lin's thoughts wrongly. He immediately replied, "Mister Liu, don't be anxious. Although I can't find the reason for the dissipation of the Dragon Qi, I know the method to resolve the dissipation of the Dragon Qi."
"Oh?" Liu Qingji's worry instantly turned into joy. "What method does Master Xu have? Quickly tell me."
Xu Lin smiled indifferently. He lifted the wooden box with the small cauldron in his left hand. "The solution lies in this Jizhou Cauldron.
Mister Liu also understands Chinese culture. I'm sure you know that cauldrons are important tools. When a normal cauldron is cast, it naturally has a suppressive power. Therefore, with this cauldron, the solution is simple. You only need to plant this Jizhou Cauldron under the node using the cauldron planting technique. This will suppress the Dragon Qi and prevent it from dissipating. "
Hearing what he said, Liu Qingji and Secretary Zhang were delighted. They immediately asked Xu Lin to plant the cauldron.
I smiled at the side. Xu Lin's words weren't to find an excuse for himself in the future, nor did he really find a solution. He was just using this excuse to take away the small cauldron in a justifiable manner.
It was true that the cauldron had a suppressive power, but using a cauldron to suppress the Dragon Qi was unheard of.
Although the Dragon Qi wasn't a gift from the heavens like what Xu Lin said, it was still a spiritual item. It could be gathered, but it couldn't be suppressed.
Not to mention the so-called "cauldron planting technique". I had never heard of it before. I reckoned that it was just something he made up to gain Liu Qingji's trust.
After seeing through it, I didn't say anything and let Xu Lin do as he pleased.
After getting permission from Liu Qingji and Secretary Zhang, Xu Lin didn't say anything else and nodded. He took out the small cauldron and threw the wooden box to the side. Then, he gathered a ball of Dao energy in his hand and waved it towards the ground. In an instant, a shallow pit appeared on the yellow soil.
Next, Xu Lin closed his eyes and muttered something. After two minutes, he stopped and opened his eyes. He threw the small cauldron into the shallow pit. Then, he waved his right sleeve and buried the small cauldron in the surrounding yellow soil.
"Mister Liu, the Jizhou cauldron has been planted. With this cauldron to suppress the Dragon Qi, you don't need to worry about the Dragon Qi dissipating. From now on, Peng City's luck will remain the same, and its prosperity will remain the same!"
After finishing everything, Xu Lin's expression was arrogant and his words were forceful.
Liu Qingji and Secretary Zhang finally relaxed. They thanked Xu Lin again and again, and even promised to personally invest in the reward.
Xu Lin, however, refused. Then, without waiting for Liu Qingji and Secretary Zhang to say anything, he said that he was tired and needed to immediately return to rest.
At this time, Liu Qingji and Secretary Zhang naturally wouldn't disobey him. They immediately nodded and said that they would send a driver to take him back.
Xu Lin shook his head. "I'm going back to the Metaphysics Society. Since we have different destinations, it's inconvenient for us to go together. Then, he left."
After he left, Liu Qingji and Secretary Zhang sighed with emotion. "Not only is Master Xu's Daoist magic profound, but he also has a noble character and unquestionable integrity. I stood to the side and smiled. After we left the orchard, I called out to Liu Qingji and asked him to tell the driver to stop the car.
Liu Qingji didn't understand, but he still stopped the car and asked, "What's the matter?"
I smiled and said, "Just now in the orchard, I accidentally left something there. I want to go back and get it."
Liu Qingji and Secretary Zhang looked at each other. They didn't understand what I meant, but after hesitating for a while, they nodded and asked the driver to turn the car around and accompany me back.
Soon, we returned to the orchard. Liu Qingji wanted to ask the driver to drive in, but I stopped him. "Let the driver stop at the entrance. We'll go in on foot."
Since the two of them were in high positions, they didn't lack wisdom. They knew that I had other intentions, so they didn't ask further. They got out of the car and walked with me to the dragon vein node.
When we were about to reach the node, I called out to them again. We hid in an orchard not far from the node. I circulated my Daoist energy to conceal our auras.
At this moment, Secretary Zhang looked puzzled. He wanted to ask me something, but before I could open my mouth, Liu Qingji shook his head and stopped him. Then, he pointed to the front and signaled him to look over there.
