Chapter 203: Chapter 131 Spending Time in the Quiet Room

In the quiet room, atop the green sandalwood tea table, the tea cups are as white as snow, with a gentle fragrance wafting between the two people.

Li Qingyue looked at him, her bright eyes clear, a smile spreading across her face, and asked, "You haven’t brought me a jar of fine wine, have you?"

Qin Ming’s hair was pitch black, his eyes spirited. Thinking back to old times, he couldn’t help but laugh, shook his head and said, "The gift this time isn’t wine, but it might truly intoxicate you."

"Oh, what is it then?" Li Qingyue was surprised and quite curious.

In this quiet and elegant room, filled with exquisite tea sets and a writing desk equipped with brush and ink, he picked up a piece of paper, ready to write down those two immensely mysterious scriptures.

Li Qingyue also stood up, graceful as jade, and came closer to the desk to personally grind the ink for him.

Her consciousness spiritual light shone like a golden sun within a sea of mist, her instincts extremely sharp, somehow sensing that something that would affect her future was happening.

The scent of tea mixed with the faint smell of ink flowed slowly in the quiet room. Qin Ming sat down and began to write quickly, his spirit highly concentrated, utterly serious, not wanting the characters to have even the slightest flaw.

He was reproducing the scriptures, exactly as he had seen them, fully capturing their essence. After resonating with it spiritually, there would be no errors or defects in the scripture meaning.

He even added the terrifying predecessor’s comments and teachings he used for his disciples.

Watching his focused expression, Li Qingyue noticed that as he wrote, the ink faintly glowed—an embodiment of his engaged consciousness wisdom, indicating his full immersion which endowed the scripts on the paper with spirit.

Then, his whole being slightly radiated light, resonating, as it seemed, with the scriptures on the paper.

A solemn look spread across Li Qingyue’s beautiful face, pale as mutton-fat jade. She took out a crystal-clear nine-colored seal and placed it in the room to prevent the faint light from spreading outside.

She came closer, looking carefully.

Her consciousness spiritual light also fluctuated for a moment.

Li Qingyue knew that this was a scripture of invaluable worth and deeply connected to her.

Was this the gift Qin Ming meant to give her? Li Qingyue, typically serene and unruffled, looked astonished and unbelieving.

Qin Ming remained immensely focused until the last character of the first scripture was penned, then he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Instantly, he realized that Li Qingyue was beside him, earnestly reading, her entire being glowing, engrossed in the scripture associated with the Furnace of Eight Trigrams.

He didn’t disturb her but sat there quietly.

Then, he began to browse through the scripture Li Qingyue had brought.

Soon, he was captivated by it, naturally resonating spiritually with the content.

Qin Ming realized that the old creatures in the Outer World were very cautious; this copy was not the original.

He saw past images, of people copying the scripture; this copy was virtually indistinguishable from the original and probably had a history of two hundred years.

Many had browsed through this book but were baffled, leaving mostly negative emotions, which held little referential value.

Qin Ming resonated with these emotions only to remember the contents of the book.

He kept turning the pages, unknowingly reaching the last one, and memorized it all.

He closed the book, deeming it worthy to be called the "Life Changing Scripture."

When Qin Ming looked up, he found Li Qingyue watching him.

"I’ve memorized it all," he returned the book to her.

"That quickly?" Li Qingyue was surprised.

"It’s done," Qin Ming nodded.

By now, Li Qingyue had also thoroughly read and remembered the contents of the paper on the desk, suffused with the smell of ink.

Her eyes shone with surprise, unforeseen delight, and touched emotion. She said, "I won’t say thank you; that would be too formal."

She knew, with this scripture, that the Close Immortal Item truly belonged to her!

She also did not ask how Qin Ming obtained this spell related to the Six Ding Divine Fire.

She understood that everyone had their own secrets, and she was no exception.

Qin Ming said, "Back at the Luo Fu Immortal Mountain Ruins, I didn’t dare transmit it to you, fearing the omnipotent old seniors might sense it and even worse, might possess us."

"I know," Li Qingyue nodded.

Pressing a hand gently against her pure white brow, she said, "I’ve engraved it into the deepest core of my consciousness spiritual light. If anyone covets it, even if they succeed in possession, they will get nothing; it will vanish along with me..."

Qin Ming immediately stopped her, saying, "Don’t speak such inauspicious words. I am still waiting for you to become Close to Immortal, and then truly seek the truth!"

Li Qingyue nodded, her delicate white hand touching a stack of scripture papers on the desk which immediately emitted a faint firelight, turning the papers swiftly to ashes.

"Although I would like to keep your manuscript, for safety’s sake, it’s better not to leave any trace. In the future, you can write me another copy."

"Probably two copies," Qin Ming smiled and spoke.

He then picked up the pen again to begin writing on the metallic fragments, a scripture not to be touched before reaching the third major realm.

When his expression focused, the Consciousness Spiritual Light maintained balance, and Divine Wisdom overflowed once again; imbuing his pen tip as he endowed those characters with spirit.

Li Qingyue ground the ink for him while following close by, reciting.

This continued until Qin Ming finished writing and had fully put away his pen.

She had once again immersed herself, with black hair sliding down one side of her ivory-like delicate cheeks, unknowingly touching Qin Ming with the faint fragrance wafting.

She appeared ethereal and otherworldly, as if absorbing the spiritual essence from the paper. As she finished reading, all the writings and patterns gradually lost their luster.

Turning her head, her black hair brushed against Qin Ming’s face. Coming back to her senses, the Immortal Charm flowing around her seemed to momentarily disappear, revealing an uncontainable joy and excitement, she said, "The insurmountable mountain blocking my path has been removed; this is the Basic Technique I’ve been earnestly seeking."

Clearly, this was the content from the "True Inheritance One Page!"

In the past, Luofu Immortal Mountain was the foundation of the Fangwai Heaven Pure Land, and the Sect Suppressing Scriptures from there were unimaginably significant.

"It’s good if it’s useful for you." Qin Ming smiled, then reminded her not to practice this Basic Technique until she reached the third realm, otherwise, it would lead to disasters.

"I understand." Li Qingyue nodded, seemingly relieved from deep within, her brows reflecting a brighter glow.

"You seemed a bit troubled earlier?" Qin Ming asked.

"You’ve noticed," Li Qingyue nodded without concealing.

She informed him that the competition among the core disciples had ended, but as a Close Immortal Seed significant for Fangwai Heaven Pure Land, the competitive pressure was even greater.

"In the early years, our lineage was in Luofu Immortal Mountain. A millennium ago, the attempt to elevate from Blessed Land to Grotto Heaven failed, leading to many unexpected events and the loss of the Basic Technique."

Although a "Immortal Seed" escaped from Luofu Mountain and learned from the Metallic Fragment containing scriptures, it quickly departed and never returned.

Some say he feared the attention of old seniors, worried about his own safety and thus disappeared into anonymity.

Others suggest that he might have been captured by seniors of other Taoist traditions on that very day.

Li Qingyue’s lineage had also learned the Basic Technique, but it was flawed; if she didn’t complete it by the time she reached the third major realm, she would need to consider other scripture passages.

Fangwai Heaven Pure Land indeed has a few other Sect Suppressing Scriptures, with an unfathomable depth of foundation, but acquiring them without a price was unrealistic.

She either had to wait for years until several old seniors reached an agreement, or she had to make significant contributions to the Pure Land to get them immediately.

For her, time was incredibly precious. Even a year’s delay would affect future competitions. The few Close Immortal Seeds in the Pure Land all had substantial backing.

They were fighting for the future leadership of Fangwai Heaven Pure Land; whoever succeeded would become the decision-maker.

Moreover, some experienced Close Immortal Seeds, with the backing of their family elders, held innate advantages and extended offers to her, hinting that if she allied with them, she could gain access to the Sect Suppressing Scriptures earlier.

In reality, more than one party had made demands on her.

After Li Qingyue refused, obtaining the Strongest Level Scriptures became even more challenging and delayed.

Competition was omnipresent; even the paths in the Outer World were divided into several systems.

"We belong to Pure Land system of the Outer World territory, and there are also Immortal Soil, Yang Soil, Evil Land, among others."

Qin Ming soon learned that the young man with a vaporizable body he killed at Black and White Mountain likely came from Outer Square Yang Earth.

Described as Yang Earth, it actually had a strong Yin aura, where the body and Consciousness Spiritual Light merged into Unity, leaning towards Yin characteristics. They believed in the ancient legend of the Yin God traveling and eventually transforming into Pure Yang.

"Don’t force yourself," Qin Ming looked at her regretfully, currently too weak to help.

Perhaps only an Ancestor Master could ascend to the Outer World with ease; he was still far from that level.

Li Qingyue hummed and nodded, saying, "If I compromise myself, the path to becoming close to Immortal is already severed. Based on my previous situation, I’m not afraid of anything, at worst I’ll be one of the core high-level figures in the future of Fangwai Pure Land. But now, naturally, I should fight for the most influential position."

Her body radiated with the ethereal Immortal Charm, exuding resplendent brilliance, bursting with confidence, no longer distracted now that she had obtained the strongest scriptures.

"I should leave," Li Qingyue said.

She took out two pieces of "Exotic Gold," one emitting a Purple Mist, and the other as white as jade, placing them in his hands.

She informed him, "When these are forged into weapons, they can penetrate Divine Wisdom, Heavenly Light Force, and Consciousness Spiritual Light. To block them, one must use powerful means."

Qin Ming only took one piece, saying, "One is enough, I’ll study it. Take the other one with you."

Li Qingyue, unpretentious, kept one piece. Although she now possessed a Close Immortal Item, she dared not take it out, as it would surely cause trouble.

She stood up, looked at Qin Ming, and smiled, approaching him to give a gentle hug, saying, "I hope one day, you can break the night sky with your Heavenly Light!"

Undoubtedly, only the strongest Ancestor Masters in history could truly achieve that.

This was the most beautiful wish for Qin Ming, who was on the Newborn Road.

Qin Ming knew that after she left, she would probably advance vigorously, striving for higher realms, stepping onto the strongest Immortal Road in her heart, unable to meet for a long time.

He also took the initiative to hug Li Qingyue gently, watching her depart.

"Close to Immortal, not fully immortal, still a person within the mundane world. Tired or weary, you can come out to drink with me," Qin Ming called out with a smile.

Though already far away, Li Qingyue still heard, pausing, turning back and nodding with a slight smile. Finally, under the accompaniment of an elder, her figure faded and completely disappeared.
