Sign In Buddha’s Palm

Chapter 99: Southern Ming Empire.

Edited by: Mochiusagi

“Someone has been here?”

In the Ancestral Temple of the Imperial Palace, the Elder was shaken.

The world only knows that the purple clothed eunuch, Eunuch Zhao, in the Imperial Palace of the Tang Empire is a Peak Grade 1; but in fact, besides Eunuch Zhao, he is also a Peak Grade 1.

On the surface Eunuch Zhao is at the top of everything, while he just hides in the dark.

Even the current Emperor does not know of this.

Not only that, but the Temple Guard is different from Eunuch Zhao.

Eunuch Zhao is loyal to Emperor Tang and would give up his life for Emperor Tang.

But he, the Temple Guard, is different.

It is not the Emperor who he is loyal to, but the Tang Empire itself.

As long as the Tang Empire is still standing and the person sitting in the throne is named Li, the Temple Guard will not come forward.

“Impossible.”

“In the Imperial Palace, who can sneak into the Ancestral Temple without me noticing?”

The Temple Guard felt his scalp go numb as he was stared blankly at the incense burner.

He had been standing guard outside the Ancestral Temple, but he had never noticed anyone sneaking in, and yet there’s the burnt smell of sandalwood?

What does this show?

This shows that someone walked into the Ancestral Temple right in front of him and even put a piece of sandalwood in the burner, but he didn’t notice it!

How is this possible?!!

He is a Peak Grade 1. With him guarding, even ants crawling in will not escape his perception.

Not to mention a person burning sandalwood…

For such a big movement, the Temple Guard didn’t notice or suspected anything. If it weren’t for the faint smell that’s still left, he might not even know that someone had sneaked in today.

“Is it possible that it’s a Grade 1 Great Perfection?”

The Temple Guard’s thoughts turned quickly, but in the end he shook his head and denied the idea.

Although the strength of a Grade 1 Great Perfection is better than a Grade 1…

But he is a Peak Grade 1 that has transformed twice. Even if he is not as good as a Grade 1 Great Perfection, he will still notice the latter coming in.

“A storm might be coming.”

“A hidden dragon has come to the Imperial Palace…”

The Temple Guard muttered in a low voice.

Although he didn’t know who had sneaked into the Ancestral Temple, he vaguely realized that the other party should not harbor any malice.

After all, from the point of view of the Temple Guard, if the other party did have bad intentions, the Imperial Palace would have been destroyed already.

…

…

East Palace.

Su Qin’s figure appeared silently.

“That’s right.”

“I forgot that I burnt a piece of sandalwood, if that Elder returns, will he notice?”

Su Qin touched his chin, but he soon got bored and lazy to think about it further.

So what if the Temple Guard finds out that someone had entered the Ancestral Temple?

With his trifling Peak Grade 1 strength, it was basically impossible to follow the trace back to Su Qin.

“Anyway, with the Innate Spirit Liquid, there is no need to create an Essence Gathering Holy Land Array anymore…”

Su Qin thought.

The role of the Essence Gathering Holy Land Array, is to gather World’s Essence Qi to achieve the effect of increasing the speed of Cultivation.

But now that Su Qin obtained the Innate Spirit Liquid, Su Qin simply doesn’t need World’s Essence Qi.

All the consumption he would need, can be provided by the Innate Spirit Liquid.

The Innate Spirit Liquid, as a treasure formed in nature, is pure and does not require Su Qin to refine it. It can just be absorbed.

And strictly speaking in terms of quality, the Innate Spirit Liquid is far beyond the World’s Essence Qi.

Of course, Su Qin only looks down upon the Essence Gathering Holy Land Array that can only encompass an area of several dozen li.

If one day, Su Qin can create a large Essence Gathering Holy Land Array that covers several thousands li, several tens of thousands of li, and even covers the entire continent, that’s another story.

Quantitative change can also cause qualitative change.

If the World’s Essence Qi of several tens of thousands of li is really gathered in one place, its effect would definitely not be worse than the Innate Spirit Liquid, it might even be greater.

In the following days, Su Qin mostly just Signed In at the Imperial Palace. Occasionally, he would be called by his younger sister Su Yueyun, to eat the meals carefully prepared by the Imperial Chef together, and sometimes he would encounter Emperor Tang.

Ever since Su Qin’s “Amazing Words” last time, Emperor Tang has obviously a highly favorable impression of Su Qin and he often asked some questions.

Su Qin felt a little impatient about this, and he would usually just say a few words casually.

He came to the Imperial Palace to Sign In, not to entertain the Emperor.

Two months passed.

In the past two months, Su Qin has Signed In in a small part of the Palace and has had a plentiful harvest.

On this day, Su Qin was walking slowly in the Imperial Palace Avenue.

Having the status of a counselor, plus being Crown Prince Li Sheng’s “brother-in-law”, Su Qin can basically freely go in and out of the Eastern Palace; as long as it’s not close to the Imperial Palace, he will not be questioned either.

While Su Qin was thinking about where to Sign In today, he came across a group of people.

Judging from their clothes, these people were obviously not from the Tang Empire. Also a Palace Eunuch was leading them.

In addition to the eunuch, a small group of Imperial Palace troops also followed. Although they seemed to be protecting the group, in fact, they were watching them.

“Southern Ming Empire?”

Su Qin glanced and found that the words on the clothes of this group of people confirmed their identity.

In this world, nations coexisted with each other. Among them, the Tang Empire is the most prosperous, occupying the vast Central Plains; while the Southern Ming Empire controls the area south of the Tang Empire and close to the sea.

The current Ming Emperor is brilliant and in his prime. Since he has been enthroned, he has eliminated the Qing Empire and gathered power. Now twenty years later, the Southern Ming Empire has become a thorn in the side of the Tang Empire.

Apart from this, the Ming Emperor also established the ‘Bright Gown Guard’, which is an agency that investigates countries and gathers world intelligence. Even the Meng Yuan Empire, which occupies the endless grassland in the North, also has spies from the Bright Gown Guard.

But even though the nations can’t wait to tear each other apart, they still have to maintain their outside face. And every once in a while, the Tang Empire and the Southern Ming Empire would have diplomatic contacts.

The main role of these diplomatic contacts is to maintain the relationship between the two countries, or to convey some information.

Su Qin’s Divine Sense swept around.

“Huh?”

Su Qin discovered something, and his eyes fell on the Southern Ming Envoys, there was a hint of surprise in his eyes.
