Chapter 9 The Troubles of the Vidyadhara Clan
Chapter 9 The Troubles of the Vidyadhara Clan
During her time in Luofu, Qingyuan was so "pampered" that she almost forgot about returning to the train.
But reason told her she couldn't go on like this—if she spent all day playing or sitting idly, she'd become a useless person.
Even the position of Chief Alchemist of the Moon Court in the Alchemy Department was nothing more than a leisurely job involving drinking tea, chatting, and sitting in an office.
People only seek her help when they encounter difficult situations, since she doesn't have a formal medical license and people usually don't allow her to directly intervene in diagnosis and treatment.
What really gave her a headache were those elders from the Chiming clan who came from Fanghu.
"General, the ground is wet. Be careful, it might slip! Please be cautious!"
What kind of messenger in the world would slip on their feet? — No, it seems that all pleasure messengers are quite "slippery," always disappearing in the blink of an eye.
Qingyuan finally couldn't hold back any longer and turned to look at the few figures following her closely: "Hey you guys, why don't you study the secret techniques I teach you properly? What are you doing all day long, just following me around? Wouldn't it be better to use that time to play a few rounds of Jade Cards?"
To prevent any potential changes in Fanghu in the future, Marshal Hua summoned the Fanghu leadership in advance and selected several highly respected elders of the Chiming Clan to come and learn the secret art of dragon transformation.
As for the specific implementation, further discussions are needed.
It's true that he is highly respected, but it's also true that he lacks talent—up to now, the fastest progress I've made is only in mastering the second stage of "Moe Yin Shen," namely "Moe Ying Shen."
The essence of this secret method is actually the application of the "rebirth" principle of the Vidyadharas: first, strip away the relatively minor memories and emotions to achieve rebirth, thereby maintaining the mind from falling into depravity.
Once a certain critical point is reached, one enters the "cute and adorable" stage, at which point the personality begins to gradually transform.
Until the third stage, "egg transformation," they are reborn again and become true Vidyadharas.
As for other races such as fox people, they also need to be given drugs to suppress "Dragon Madness".
It can be said that this is a fairly complete system.
Marshal Hua could roughly deduce what the future Xianzhou might look like.
Qingyuan's life was originally quite peaceful, but now she can't stand being flattered and fawned over by several elders of the Wisdom Clan every day.
She turned around decisively and rushed straight out of the Pill Refining Department, leaving several Dragon Masters standing there looking at each other in bewilderment.
The three most senior dragon masters exchanged glances, returned to their rooms, locked the doors, and began a private conversation.
"Oh dear, it seems we've messed things up."
"But obtaining the Dragon Transformation Secret Technique is already a great achievement, isn't it? If we were to actually build the Dragon Transformation Array, the Marshal probably wouldn't agree."
"It's estimated that only half of the people can cultivate this secret technique to the second stage; those who can step into the third stage are even fewer. Not to mention when the Marshal will implement it, and who is qualified to practice it... these are all still unknown."
"We can set up the formation ourselves back at Fanghu. Surely the Marshal won't stop us? The only problem is that General Qingyuan no longer remembers the formation method and can no longer do it."
I heard from the Grand Diviner that, given her current mental state, she's not even as clever as Qingque!
The three men exchanged wry smiles. They had been sent by the general partly out of compassion for Fanghu, and partly to appease the people of Fanghu.
As a highly respected figure, if he could return with the secret techniques, his prestige would surely rise to another level, and he might even be remembered in history.
But as people who have dedicated their lives to Fanghu, they still want to fight for more protection.
The three of them then established a remote communication connection with Fang Hu, and figures appeared on the light screen.
The leader, Dragon Master Yu Shu, waved his hand: "Let's skip the formalities. Time is precious, let's get straight to the point."
After exchanging updates, the room fell silent.
Yu Shu pointed to one of them: "Xiao Qu, I remember you were famous for your eloquence in your younger days. Why don't you teach us?"
"What talkativeness? Back then, everyone knew I was a sycophant!" Xiao Qu felt a little embarrassed when this old story was brought up.
He could only reply, "Lord Yushu is joking. If you all really did that, it would probably only annoy that person even more."
Seeing that these three highly respected elders actually wanted to learn how to "flatter," the people on Fang Hu's side couldn't hold back any longer.
At this moment, General Fubo coughed twice and said, "Since General Qingyuan is unable to reproduce the great formation, why not start with Miss Qingque?"
Many geniuses are born with exceptional talents; sometimes, all they need to become geniuses is a special opportunity.
With her help, and provided the marshal's approval, he could also set up his own Dragon Transformation Formation for Fang Hu.
Upon hearing this, Yu Shu immediately beamed with joy: "That's right! Young people are always quick-witted."
Everyone knows that the girl loves jade pendants; if we start there, we can surely gradually build a closer relationship!

The next evening, Yu Shu and the other two returned to Bu Yue Ting in a daze.
"We're so bad...she was basically letting us win the whole time."
Once or twice is fine, but if it happens too often, the other person will probably get tired of it very quickly.
So Fanghu began to secretly search for someone who had a clean record in all three lifetimes, was reliable, and had excellent card skills.
Ultimately, a blue-haired girl was chosen. Her name was He Xi, and she embarked on the star raft to Luofu with a group of students.
"Didn't I come here to learn? Is it really appropriate for me to play cards every day now?" He Xi asked somewhat uneasily.
The team leader, Master Long, waved his hand: "I've worked so hard for so many years, can't I enjoy myself a bit?" — To be honest, although he played the Jade Tokens terribly, he was indeed addicted to them.
Feeling that what he said might have a negative impact, he coughed twice and explained, "When the secret technique can be implemented depends on the Marshal's decision."
Now, every use requires the marshal's personal approval. So, let's just take it one day at a time and treat it as a paid vacation.
Once the marshal approves, we'll return to Fanghu at lightning speed.
Qingque, who was forced to accompany her, looked on with envy. These days, not only does she have to work overtime every few days, but she also has to learn how to manage Luofu—good heavens, is this something I can manage?
General Jingyuan, look at Lord Fu Xuan! Everyone knows what the Grand Diviner is thinking!
Just as she was thinking this, she played the wrong card.
The opposing Dragon Master's eyes lit up: "I'm going to win this game!"
He Xi silently cast a skeptical glance at her: You really think you can win? You're kidding, aren't you?
Just then, a panicked voice came from afar: "Lord Yu Shu... Lord Yu Shu... she's about to fight with Si Ding! You must go back and check on her!"
The person who came was another colleague from Fanghu who was usually responsible for following up with them. He came running over breathlessly and collapsed to the ground after speaking.
"I finally got lucky!" Master Long stood up in frustration, hurriedly bowed to Qingque and Hexi, and said, "Excuse me!" He then flew back.
"...We're one short for the three of us." Qingque glanced at her colleague who had come to deliver the message on the ground.
---
Inside the Dan Ding Division, the atmosphere was tense and ready to fight.
Si Dinglingsha led a group of Luofu Chiming to confront Fanghu Chiming.
"A bunch of old fools! The Marshal took pity on you and taught you the Dragon Transformation Method, and now you even want to steal my Luofu's Vidyadhara? Don't you have any shame?" Ling Sha shouted angrily.
"Well said! Well said, Lord Lingsha!" Luo Fu Chiming thought to himself.
Yu Shu retorted without backing down: "This egg was given to us through a secret method to help it reincarnate, and we have been taking care of it all along. How did it become the Vidyadhara of your Luofu?"
"Lord Yu Shu, hold on!" The Fanghu people secretly encouraged each other.
The group from Fanghu joined forces to protect a radiant, glowing egg. It wasn't that Luofu Chiming was afraid to act, but rather that he feared harming the creature within the egg.
The cause of the incident was not complicated: Fanghu Chiming was practicing a secret method recently. When he was putting it into practice, no one expected that a person in the "Mengying body" state would turn into an egg on the spot after completely letting go of his obsession.
Upon seeing this, the people of Fanghu immediately decided to escort it back to Fanghu as a memento.
But Ling Sha is not confused—if this sets a precedent, it will become the norm in the future.
She acted decisively, contacting several Dragon Masters with whom she had previously had strained relationships. Faced with such a momentous issue, Luofu Chiming quickly united.
Fanghu Chiming, who was in charge of guarding the egg, had been subdued, but the other party, under the guise of "protection," placed the egg in the center, which was tantamount to holding it hostage.
This is utterly shameless! The Vidyadhara Egg of Luofu must not be allowed to be taken away by these people!
Thus, a stalemate ensued—Lingsha, confident in his status as a traveler of abundant destiny, possessed great stamina and had more men on his side, who could take turns guarding and delivering food. He believed that once he found a weakness in the enemy's defenses, he could gradually break the deadlock.
—The advantage lies with me!
Fanghu was not to be outdone – when Fanghu was short-handed back then, who among them hadn't experienced working multiple jobs, working 12 hours a day at high intensity, and averaging 30 consecutive days a month?
As long as she could hold out until the marshal arrived, she didn't believe he would make things difficult for these old guys.
—The advantage lies with me!
Moreover, Fanghu Chiming's yearning for new kin far surpasses that of other immortal ships.
Their so-called "rest and recuperation" actually means no population growth.
Now that he has witnessed the newborn Vidyadhara who was born through the secret method of egg transformation, he naturally wanted to send him back to his homeland immediately.
Those who transform into dragons are assigned to a specific region? Then Fanghu is almost entirely composed of those who uphold enlightenment; wouldn't they be at the greatest disadvantage?
Ling Sha looked at Yu Shu, almost laughing in anger. She had no doubt that, according to the other party's logic, he would probably send out all the masters of Fanghu to "help others transform into dragons".
How many Vidyadharas does Luofu have? Isn't that a huge loss?
She straightened her appearance and said coldly, "Do you think that if you live in a house long enough, you'll get a share of the compensation when it's demolished? There's no such logic in the world. You'd better give up that idea as soon as possible, Lord Yu Shu."
"No, no," Yu Shu shook his head, "I treated it like my son, and it regarded me like its mother. Naturally, it should belong to my Fanghu."
"Hmph, you won't listen to reason, so you'll have to suffer the consequences." Ling Sha said no more, raised her hand and summoned three jade-white spirit rabbits, which floated lightly towards the other party. She was afraid of hurting the Wisdom Egg, so she didn't even dare to use the fumigation, but injected a large amount of anesthetic into the rabbits.
The people of Fanghu all used their life force to resist.
"Try to distract them! Once someone shows a weakness, our 'Smoke Beasts' can take the opportunity to separate them!" Ling Sha whispered.
Upon hearing this, Luofu Chiming each displayed his abilities:
"I'm not even afraid for my husband to know, why are you afraid for your mother to know?"
What is all this nonsense? Even if we knew, you wouldn't let us disturb our peace of mind.
"Actually, I got close to your wife all for your sake... Be with me, and you'll never have to worry about money again!"
Then what?
"The secret teachings of the Medicine King have infiltrated!"
Who would believe that!
However, some people did indeed undergo strange changes and fall into demonic possession, and several people were exposed as a result and were knocked away by the smoke beast.
It's a projector, how cunning!
"Sister Yu Shu! Now that things have come to this, I have no choice but to speak! I have secretly admired you for three hundred years, and my heart is as clear as the waters of Lin Yuan!"
Everyone looked at each other, and several more people revealed their weaknesses.
Are you implying that the child is only a few decades old?
This farce lasted for a day and a night, finally alarming the Tabuan.
Fu Xuan had no choice but to handle the situation personally, and he even brought Qing Que, who had been temporarily brought in.
"It is inconvenient for me to directly intervene in this matter, as it would be inappropriate to favor either side. If Yanqing were to intervene, I would be unable to pretend that I do not know anything."
"It would be perfect if you went with the Grand Diviner, so I'm entrusting this to you," Jingyuan said.
Thinking about the scene she was about to face, Qingque felt a splitting headache.
Upon seeing the messengers from the Imperial Statutes, Fanghu Chiming angrily exclaimed, "You shameless scoundrels, how dare you call in outsiders to help you?"
Ling Sha immediately retorted, "What outsiders? We were born and raised in Luofu, we are Luofu people first, and then Luofu Vidyadharas!"
The crowd behind her echoed her sentiments, while only a few Dragon Masters secretly cursed Ling Sha for being cunning and treacherous.
Fu Xuan's voice rang out at the right moment: "That's enough."
"Ling Sha, as the head of the Pill Refining Department, you've gathered so many people here, yet no one is even looking after the patients in the Pill Refining Department?"
Upon seeing Fu Xuan, Ling Sha immediately pleaded: "Grand Diviner, apart from me, all the others are fellow members of the Chiming clan who came here voluntarily. The other Chiming in the Dan Ding Division are still performing their respective duties."
This whole affair began because the other party kidnapped my Luofu Vidyadhara Egg. I implore you to uphold justice!
"What Luofu Vidyadhara? This is my Fanghu Vidyadhara! Luofu Grand Diviner, you cannot forcibly seize my Fanghu people!"
"Put it down—!"
Seeing the verbal battle reignite, Fu Xuan shouted sternly, "Silence!" He then turned to Qing Que beside him and asked, "Qing Que, what do you think?"
Qingque was taken aback—wasn't I just here to observe on behalf of the general? Why was I given such a hot potato?
"Um..." Under their intense gazes, she hesitated for a moment, "How about... I understand the whole story first?"
After another round of explanations and insults from both sides, Qingque finally understood.
She decisively took out the jade tablet and dialed Qingyuan's number.
"Oh... they're fighting? Great! Where? I'm coming right now!"
"..." Qingque silently hung up and dialed another number instead.
"Yes, that's the situation. Both sides have their own version of events, and I don't know how to handle it. Oh... okay, I understand."
Qingque put away the jade tablet and raised her voice: "Please be quiet, everyone, otherwise the Grand Diviner will have to ask you to leave."
The Marshal is aware of this matter and will arrive in person shortly. No disturbance or commotion is permitted at that time.
Upon hearing this, the entire room fell silent. The gazes of the crowd towards Qingque were a mixture of shock and disbelief—this girl actually had the Marshal's direct contact information and could get through instantly? She was practically all-powerful.
Before long, a streak of crimson light descended, and Marshal Hua appeared on the spot.
Yu Shu immediately stepped forward and grabbed the marshal's leg: "Marshal, you must do us justice!"
Both sides repeated their statements.
Hua's gaze swept over the square pot-shaped Chiming lying haphazardly on the ground, and the Chiming with half of its body stuck in the ceiling.
He glanced at the weary faces of the Luofu group, and finally spoke slowly...
