Chapter Twenty: Dragon and Tiger Gold Threads
everyone around him.But Jiang Li dreamed already in a coma, and did not know to whom this was said.But then again, if Jiang Limeng hadn't been in a coma, she would probably be furious right now.The ba...The Imperial Treasury, also located within the Qi Palace, was a crucial place.
The yellow-tier Dao Arts bestowed upon Chong Xuan were directly taken from the inner treasury, a gift presented to him. Whether or not they would be useful was difficult to say. After all, Chong Xuan himself wasn't lacking in powerful Dao Arts.
Jiang Wang's Huangjie Dao art could be chosen from his inner treasury, of course he had to choose carefully and pick the most suitable one.
Dao techniques are generally divided into four ranks and twelve grades, encompassing all Dao techniques that practitioners cultivate before achieving divine manifestation.
Here is the text translation:>
The Taoist arts that transcend the Four Grades and Twelve Ranks, are further divided into four realms: Heaven, Earth, Xuan, and Huang.
From this perspective as well, one can clearly see that there was indeed a gulf between before and after the divine presence.
Therefore, the clash between Tian Anping and Liu Xiao was especially terrifying. Even though he had once entered the Divine Presence realm, a true Divine Presence perspective, perhaps some Divine Presence techniques remained... This battle made people feel unreal.
Jiang Wang had also pondered it for a long time, discussing it with Chong Xuan Sheng, Li Longchuan, and Yan Fu. In the end, their destination still rested on Tian Anping's strange "inner court."
Unfortunately, despite his curiosity, he was reluctant to go into the town and observe it closely. He had no choice but to put his curiosity aside.

Generally speaking, the cultivation threshold for Xuanhuang Second Rank Taoist arts has reached the level of Shen Lin. The cultivation threshold for Tiandi Second Rank Taoist arts is at the level of Dongzhen.
But there are those born with innate talents, those with extraordinary abilities who can create high-level Dao techniques on their own, or perhaps they possess other unique gifts... It's also possible that some have preemptively grasped these skills.
For instance, Jiang Wang from the Inner Court Realm mastered Dao Techniques like Eight Sounds Burning Sea, which belonged to the top-grade Outer Pavilion level.
Under the blessing of the true fire of samadhi, the techniques of the Fire Realm approach the level of supergrade. Of course, divine abilities are inherently different, and secret arts that blend divine power cannot be confused with other Taoist techniques, they should be treated separately.
Having been notified in advance, Jiang Wang arrived at the palace gate and immediately saw Qiu Zhi waiting there.
He wore the robes of a eunuch from the Imperial Secretariat, with an air of serenity. His smile was broad and genuine, showing not the slightest hint of impatience.
Jiang Wang hurriedly stepped forward and bowed, saying: "How dare I trouble Your Excellency with my presence"
Churchill smiled and said, "I just arrived too."

He then turned sideways and said, "Please come over here, Qingyangzi."
He had always been kind to Jiang Wang. A chief eunuch waiting outside the palace gate, was that something an ordinary person could see
They have the power to issue imperial edicts and, in a sense, represent the Emperor. This shows how much importance was placed on Jiang Wang by the court officials who wouldn't even bow to them.
Jiang Wang was not arrogant because of this, instead his attitude became even more humble: “Grandfather, please go first, I shall follow your lead!”
The tall and mighty guards stood silently at the palace gate. Even towards Jiang Qingyang, whose fame echoed throughout the land, they paid little heed.
To talk about it, Jiang Wang, this three-rank Jin Gua warrior, also had the duty of guarding the imperial palace. Of course, if he was on duty, he would guard the emperor's sleeping quarters or in front of the Zixu Hall. Unless the emperor gave an order, he would stand silently as a ceremonial guard. The moment the emperor issued an order, he would strike down the guilty official—this of course is just talk, and it almost never happened.
Jiang Wang looked straight ahead, following Churchill into the palace gates.
The inner treasury of the emperor was not like Qing Shi Palace, which was almost abandoned and desolate. It had guards every five steps and sentinels every ten steps, with exceptionally strict security measures.
Churchill walked ahead, slightly turning his body, and said with a smile: "Last time I accompanied Qingyangzi to the arsenal, there weren't many people vying for it. This time, I don't know how many people are clamoring to wait. It was Han Gonggong who said that I am familiar with Qingyangzi, so he asked me to come. How many people envy this!"

Nobody dislikes flattery, except perhaps someone like Jiang Wang who awkwardly praised Cao Jie.
Churchill clearly understood this, and he held it up with a moist, silent touch.
Although Jiang Wang felt a little embarrassed to receive such praise, he also felt much lighter: "Grandfather-in-law, you flatter me! Among the officials in court, you are already a top figure. To be able to know you is actually my luck!"
After a moment of embracing each other, they arrived at their destination as they spoke.
Theoretically speaking, the Inner Treasury was the emperor's private property, and the treasures within were naturally extremely valuable. Expenditures from the Inner Treasury were often for the emperor's enjoyment.
But the current Emperor Qi is always using the inner treasury to supplement the national treasury. No wonder people in court and throughout the country call him wise.

With Churchill by his side, they saved much time and went straight to the emperor's private treasury of arts.
A jade platform shaped like an hourglass, unfurling before one's gaze.
Every Jade Guang Bao Platform represents a school of Huangjie Taoism, densely packed like forests.
A flowing light veil shrouded the treasure platform, obscuring its contents from view. However, on the column above it, there was an inscription detailing the relevant information about this magical art form.
There were so many things to choose from, Jiang Wang was dazzled.
The Yellow Rank Dao Technique had already reached the level of divine descent. Although he couldn't control it yet, he should prepare in advance. After all, he wasn't from a family with deep backgrounds, so there were no secret techniques available at each level.
He already has a fiery technique called "Flames of the Burning City" as his reserve, so he needs to carefully select any new Huang Jie Dao techniques. Ideally, they should complement "Flames of the Burning City".
After much deliberation, Churchill finally spoke: “Qingyangzi, do you require assistance”
The last time I harvested the Gan Yang's eyes from the national treasury, it was very useful. Jiang Wang didn't do Churchill's expectations this time either. Firstly, he wasn't so embarrassed to do it, and secondly, he wasn't sure if Churchill understood the emperor's art library's private collection well enough.
Hearing this, he immediately said: "Jiang Wang's wish has finally come true!"
Churchill smiled slightly and said, "Qingyangzi, why don't you tell me your demands"
"The best kind of magical arts are those that restrain and bind the enemy," Jiang Wang's thoughts were very clear.
Churchill pondered for a moment, then smiled and said, "Speaking of which, there's a kind of magic that suits your needs perfectly!"
He walked past several jade stands, and stopped after nineteen steps.

"This is the one!"
Jiang Wang approached and took a closer look, only then did he understand what Churchill meant by "coincidence". This school of yellow-ranked Taoism was indeed left behind by Old Yang, named "Dragon and Tiger".
The inscription on the Jade-Light Treasure Platform says: “A human being has a backbone, which is like a dragon. He can harness the eight winds as his tiger. When the dragon coils and the tiger crouches, then man becomes imprisoned.”
At the end, it is said: This technique was inherited from the ancient emperors of Yang.
According to the inscription, what is called dragon and tiger is actually the meaning of locking the dragon and imprisoning the tiger.
After a moment's thought, Jiang Wang said: "Master Qiu's vision is something I trust implicitly, so I choose this method."
Churchill, with his fair complexion and smooth chin, smiled in a way that gave people a sense of great peace. He simply took out a seal and pressed it onto the jade platform.
Then the radiant veil was instantly awash with colorful lights, and jewels scattered everywhere.
“Reach in,” Churchill said.

Then Jiang Wang reached in. He couldn't see what was inside the shimmering light barrier, but as soon as his hand went in, a torrent of information flowed through his mind.

It not only has dragons and tigers, but also the analysis and application experience of this technique by strong practitioners through the ages.
After a long while, Jiang Wang came to her senses.
"How are you" Churchill asked with a smile.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
“Wonderful indeed!”
Old Sunlight truly lived up to its reputation as a once mighty empire that had unified an entire realm. Even in this world of rapidly evolving cultivation techniques, both the Dry Yang Eye and the Dragon-Tiger technique hadn't become obsolete. They still left Jiang Wang feeling amazed by their ingenuity.
Churchill smiled faintly. "Master Qingyang is satisfied, that's all that matters."

Jiang Wang had never known what level of cultivation Qiu Gonggong was. Now it seemed that he was at least in the Shen Lin realm. And there were seven other court officials like him.
Among the eunuchs, there are indeed hidden dragons and crouching tigers.
After leaving the workshop, the two went to the tool shed.
This time he didn't ask Churchill for help, but chose for himself after much deliberation, longer than the time spent rummaging in the art storeroom. Finally, he selected a golden-threaded garment.

This piece of inner court layered robe is extremely strong and beautiful in defense. It was specially chosen for An'an by him.
But at present, in Linzi, he doesn't want too many people to know about An An's existence.
Churchill, however, didn't ask anything. He kept his distance perfectly.
It keeps people feeling relaxed and never offended.
Only after Jiang Wang had put away the golden armor did she lightly smile and say, "Qing Yangzi should head back now."
Gazing wistfully at the closed door of the storeroom, Jiang Wang sighed, “Let’s go.”
Maybe next time... I don't know when that will be...
Having seen the treasury of the State of Qi and the Imperial Treasury, Jiang Wang thought to himself that he was already accustomed to worldly affairs. After this, he would no longer be dazzled by so-called treasures!
Churchill saw Ginger all the way out of the palace gate before he turned and left with a smile on his face.
Jiang Wang walked a few steps alone, and suddenly raised his eyes. An old man stood in front of him.
“Qingyangzi!”

The old man, dressed in a light-colored eunuch's robe, stood at the corner of the palace gate, as if he were about to blend into the darkening sky.
