Chapter 251: Chapter 112 The Matter of Learning Martial Arts is Not Humiliating

——Disciple of the Divine Repository True Person, a genius who achieved Enlightenment on his own.

All these were labels that An Jing quite liked and was very willing to accept.

——Affiliated with the Dust Li clan, generous and magnanimous in giving.

Each one was a persona carefully crafted and operated by An Jing himself.

A Dust Li martial artist, a Da Chen honorary citizen, the profligate son of a rich family, a Da Chen culture enthusiast who loves to buy all sorts of odd stuff, and connections to various goods channels...

These were labels that An Jing wore with considerable satisfaction.

And the series of operations and settings he crafted all had one ultimate purpose.

That was to allow An Jing to openly form a merchant caravan, transport materials, and not raise any suspicions!

Especially now that An Jing had both the Honorary Citizen Certificate Charm and the relationship with Mingguang Dust, he could even more boldly pull strings with the Dust Li side.

"Young Hero Jing, won’t you stay for dinner?"

"No, no, Magistrate Zheng, I still have to report back to my mentor."

An Jing declined Zheng Mo’s invitation with a reason that the other party could not insist on, leaving Zheng Mo somewhat regretful as he said, "That’s a pity... If you have time in the future, please be sure to honor us with your presence at a banquet!"

"Definitely next time, definitely next time."

After leaving the government office, An Jing let out a long sigh of relief.

Not to mention the abundant gains in martial arts, now all the loopholes in An Jing’s identity had been filled by the support of Mingguang Dust, turning all points of hesitation into envy.

It was precisely because of the appearance of Mingguang Dust that when An Jing’s hired caravan returned to Kanming City, no one found it strange that An Jing, who was supposed to leave, suddenly announced that he would be residing in Kanming City permanently.

"My mentor asked me to properly cultivate in Da Chen and to experience different customs and cultures."

When interacting with neighbors, An Jing spoke in a very casual and brash tone, like a person from Dust Li boasting, "Hey, I don’t even know what my mentor is thinking. He probably just feels that Bai Bu is too chaotic, and it’s better for me to stay in Da Chen than to go back there."

"Let’s not talk about that, guys. Does anyone have a good house to recommend? Preferably spacious, with a warehouse or storefront would be best..."

He used this boastful tone to persuade everyone while the invisibly present Mingguang Dust and Xuan Mingjing were right by his side.

"Has he always been like this?"

"Hmm..." Seeing An Jing ’talking nonsense’ like that, Xuan Mingjing felt rather uncomfortable, as if embarrassed on behalf of An Jing: "It’s not really lying, I think An Jing is using various elements to secure an advantageous environment for himself!"

"Ming, you shouldn’t be angry..."

"Why would I be angry?" When Mingguang Dust saw An Jing skillfully using his own name to bargain for conveniences, he wasn’t angry; instead, he admired it: "This is also a very rare talent. Mingjing, you can’t do it, which is a shame."

"Your father back in the day and us... Hmm. In any case, this is a crucial persuasive skill for adventure."

At this point, Mingguang Dust sighed, feeling somewhat dispirited and smiled wryly, "It seems I’m indeed getting older... always reminiscing about the past."

The two fell silent for a while, and then Xuan Mingjing saw An Jing secretly gesturing to her.

"What is it?"

Utilizing the concealment of the Earth Escape Divine Skill, Xuan Mingjing hurried over and curiously asked. An Jing didn’t understand why they needed to communicate up close when they could contact each other with Emperor’s Blood but still patiently said, "I’m getting ready to buy a house, help me check the Earth Veins."

"Oh!"

Xuan Mingjing confidently said, "I’ve seen all of the Earth Pulse Nodes in Kanming City, what are your requirements?"

"Covert." An Jing said, "And big enough."

"Good!" Xuan Mingjing was even somewhat eager to try, "I’ll think of something right away!"

Seeing Xuab Mingjing so happy, An Jing nodded inwardly. The relationship between friends shouldn’t just be about one-sided assistance. Occasionally, one also needs to proactively ask for help, and a true friend would be delighted to lend a hand.

By now, buying a house had become as easy for An Jing as it was for Huo Qing in the Tianyuan Realm.

Once he showed his interest in settling down locally, many local merchants and landlords indicated they had suitable properties available, and as for the price, everything was negotiable.

How could An Jing care about the price? Feigning anger, he loudly scolded those who wanted to offer him a discount, proclaiming he didn’t care about the money and that whoever mentioned a price drop was disrespecting him. The scene quickly became somewhat awkward, reinforcing the impression of him as a ’Martial Force-strong, socially inexperienced, good-hearted, but slightly spoiled rural Heaven’s Chosen’ even further.

Regardless of Xuan Mingjing, who was standing by with his head down, perhaps digging his toes into the castle floor, it took An Jing less than two days to finish all the arrangements and purchase a siheyuan next to the southeastern commercial street of Ming City.

"This way, Master and you, Mingjing, will be able to set up the Law Altar."

In the siheyuan, An Jing of course already knew how to let Xuan Mingjing leave Da Chen without alerting anyone.

It was the Great Void Ritual Altar of the Mingguang Dust.

And the Great Void Techniques of the Mingguang Dust probably had something to do with what he called ’Endless Heavens.’

However, this technique required setting up a ritual altar, and although Mingguang Dust brought his own materials, it also needed a quiet spot to be established.

"Aside from Martial Arts, your ability to handle various affairs is indeed top-notch," said Xuan Mingjing, whose clear eyes were in sharp contrast to Mingguang Dust who understood the value of An Jing’s actions and was somewhat emotional, "Those brothers, sisters, junior brothers, and junior sisters on the mountain, each one a genius in their Cultivation, but those who can’t even manage to enter the world will eventually fade into obscurity."

"Only those who can stir the winds and clouds between heaven and earth with their own strength, and create something out of nothing, can truly be called Heaven’s Chosen," remarked Mingguang Dust.

"Really?"

An Jing was somewhat surprised by such high praise, "Or is this also related to the ’growth of one’s Fate Pattern’?"

At this point, he actually started laughing and gave a bow to Mingguang Dust, "Come to think of it, I’ve practiced Martial Arts for a long time, but mostly it’s been ’Mundane Martial Weapons’ that don’t require a Fate Pattern... I’m actually somewhat lacking in real Martial Arts knowledge."

"Could Master possibly teach me?" he asked.

"Oh?"

Mingguang Dust was surprised, "Do you really wish to acknowledge me as your master?"

"What?"

An Jing feigned shock and disbelief, "Could it be that Master refuses to teach me Martial Arts and inform me of this world’s many Martial Arts principles?"

"Haha..." Mingguang Dust chuckled softly and nodded slightly, "I do wish Mingjing would learn from you."

Xuan Mingjing, who was beside him: "?"

In reality, recognizing Mingguang Dust as his master was not An Jing’s idea but that of Subdue Evil.

"An Jing, this person is clearly a strong Martial Artist of Embracing the Void, at least more knowledgeable than me!"

Probably because it’s a Sword Spirit, Subdue Evil wasn’t particular about it and very enthusiastically encouraged An Jing to take some advanced lessons from Mingguang Dust, "The more you learn, the deeper my understanding of the current state of Martial Arts in Embracing the Void... And this will also help determine a perfect Martial Arts path for you!"

An Jing didn’t believe in a perfect Martial Arts path, but Subdue Evil was indeed right—without Mingguang Dust, where else could he find such a friendly, highly talented Divine Repository True Person with knowledge of many secrets to be his teacher?

Learning Divine Skills, the tool for one’s livelihood for a lifetime, it’s not shameful to lower your stance a bit!
