Chapter 165: Eager To Give An Invitation!
As expected, he couldn’t take any photos!
Looking at the photo that only showed the sky, Su Jingxing quietly put his phone away.
With the concealing abilities of these light maps that were created using special means, ordinary electronic devices could barely work.
To take it down, one had to either memorize it by force or copy it on a piece of paper.
Given that there were four similar maps, Su Jingxing chose the second option.
Using the ground as paper and his treasure saber as brush, he picked an empty spot and looking at the light map in the air, traced it with his saber. Then, he snapped a photo with his phone.
In this way, he now had a photo of the map. However, he wasn’t sure if they would be of any use now that it was separated from the Simple Explanations of Array Formations.
Su Jingxing was only doing this as a temporary backup plan.
If he really wanted to find out the exact location of the Mausoleum of Prince Qin, he would probably have to gather all four more.
“I might have to trouble you again, Brother Goose,” Su Jingxing muttered. He got out of the air and took out a bunch of Essence Energy Pills, tossing them to the big white goose.
Ga! Ga!
The big white goose flapped its wings, catching all the Essence Energy Pills without missing a single one.
“Thanks, Brother Goose.” Su Jingxing bid farewell to the big white goose.
The goose’s innate ability had already helped him several times.
The only thing Su Jingxing could repay him with was Essence Energy Pills, and that made him feel bad.
Maybe I can find some company for Brother Goose?
Su Jingxing pondered as he flew through the air.
…
By the time he returned to his small courtyard at the foot of the mountain, the sky was already dark.
After getting some food, Su Jingxing switched on his computer and went online to search for news regarding the Mausoleum of Prince Qin.
There were traces of all the related posts that had been blocked and deleted. After some manipulation, Su Jingxing dug out all of them.
He looked through them one by one, and the contents were similar to what Shen Qian and the others had taken a screenshot of.
Below the Green Cloud Mountain, Qinghe City. Below Qinghe City, the Mausoleum of Prince Qin.
This saying had been circulating for hundreds of years, but no one knew the exact location.
Even the He Family was probably equally clueless.
They knew that the four ancient manuals, Simple Explanations of Array Formations, True Energy for Beginners, Introduction To Pills and First Look At Spirit Weapons contained maps, but clearly, they couldn’t gather all four.
Had they been able to gather all of them, the He Family would have long since entered the Mausoleum of Prince Qin and taken away the treasures left behind by Liu Chenglong. Why would they wait until now?
Realizing this, Su Jingxing had a plan.
Getting all four ancient manuals together wouldn’t be easy!
Suddenly, his phone rang.
Su Jingxing grabbed it and saw that it was a call from Yan Yuanfeng.
Su Jingxing had left an anonymous number for this Deputy Sect Master of the Iron Thread Sect.
They hadn’t contacted each other since the last time they worked together.
Why is he calling at this time?
Puzzled, Su Jingxing picked up the call.
“Haha, long time no see, Guest Elder Lin,” Yan Yuanfeng greeted with a hearty laugh.
“What’s the matter?” asked Su Jingxing.
“Well, there really is something.” Yan Yuanfeng coughed dryly and answered honestly, “I wonder if you have received any news from Xuantian University?”
“Xuantian University?” asked Su Jingxing, raising his eyebrows. “What news?”
“Looks like Guest Elder Lin hasn’t received it,” said Yan Yuanfeng with a smile. “Here’s the thing. I assume you already know about the news regarding the Mausoleum of Prince Qin?”
“Yes.”
“Glad to hear that,” replied Yan Yuanfeng. “Aren’t the four ancient books that the informant revealed to contain the location of the Mausoleum of Prince Qin in Xuantian University? For the sake of the safety of their teachers and students, and to show their selflessness, Xuantian University has specially invited representatives from different factions to participate in the Open Ancient Manual Revelation Conference tomorrow night.”
“I was just thinking, Guest Elder Lin, if you have time, why don’t you come with me…”
“Hold on,” interrupted Su Jingxing. “An Open Ancient Manual Revelation Conference? What kind of event is this?”
“They will crack the secret of the ancient manuals in front of everyone and find the hidden map.”
Yan Yuanfeng said, “The four ancient books, Simple Explanations of Array Formations, True Energy for Beginners, Introduction To Pills, First Look At Spirit Weapons have been through countless hands over the centuries, but no one has discovered the secrets hidden in them. The main reason is that the four ancient books have been augmented with special methods that require specific methods to unlock. Only then can one see the map.”
“In order to avoid trouble and not wanting the various factions to mess up their campus, Xuantian University would bring out the ancient manuals and unlock them in public.
“Got it,” said Su Jingxing, nodding. “I’ll be there for this event. What time tomorrow?”
“11 pm!”
answered Yan Yuanfeng. “At 11 pm tomorrow, in the auditorium of the Sky Water Block in Xuantian University. I’ll be waiting for you at the entrance of the first level of the Sky Water Block.”
“Great, thanks.”
After ending the call, Su Jingxing put down his phone and fell into deep thought.
Xuantian University’s move was unexpected, but understandable.
After the He Family exposed the secret, Xuantian University immediately became the center of attention for all factions.
If Xuantian University did not take action, things would get lively all day and all night for them.
Now that they had organized such a public event, no matter the outcome, they had at least recovered some lost ground.
Of course, what interested Su Jingxing the most was…
Out of the four ancient books, the Simple Explanations of Array Formations was in his hands. How many remained with Xuantian University?
His phone rang again.
Su Jingxing took a look. It was Li Lilou.
“Why is he calling?”
He immediately picked up the call.
A moment later, Su Jingxing hung up the call, a strange look on his face.
Like Yan Yuanfeng, Li Lilou had also invited him to attend tomorrow night’s conference at Xuantian University.
In the end, he also stated that he would be waiting for him at the entrance on the first level of Sky Water Block.
These two represented two factions, and they both wanted to wait for him. What were they up to?
After some thought, Su Jingxing figured out the reason.
Just then, however, his phone rang again.
It was Zhou Wencen.
With an odd expression, Su Jingxing answered the call.
A moment later, he hung up and arched an eyebrow.
The reason for Zhou Wencen’s call was the same as Yan Yuanfeng’s, to invite him to the conference held at Xuantian University tomorrow night.
In the end, he also stated that he would wait for him at the entrance on the first level of Sky Water Block.
The Iron Thread Sect, the Li Family, and the Zhou Family were considered top factions in Qinghe City.
And they had all invited Su Jingxing to attend the conference together as if by prior agreement.
Did they really have Su Jingxing in their considerations?
No!
At the very least, it wasn’t entirely for Su Jingxing, but for themselves.
In the eyes of Li Lilou and the others, Su Jingxing was not only a fourth-grade martial artist, but also an independent martial artist.
They were more than happy to rope in such an expert.
However, Su Jingxing never promised anyone anything.
Li Lilou, Zhou Wencen, and the others didn’t dare to insist.
However, the event at Xuantian University tomorrow night was a good opportunity.
Representatives from various factions would be present.
If Su Jingxing had followed any of the three——Zhou Wencen, Li Lilou, or Yan Yuanfeng into the hall, the others would automatically see him as part of their faction!
