All Eyes on Her

(Just to be honest, I went to get a tooth pulled this afternoon, and it hurt like hell.)

During her duel with Li Qingfang, she exuded a very strong and oppressive aura. Now that she has stopped fighting, she has regained her elegant and refined temperament. Her black hair is like a waterfall, her eyes are bright and her teeth are white. When she smiles, it is like a fairy flower blooming for the first time, flowing with brilliant light and rain, making people feel gentle and close.

She sent her Elite Disciple forward to help treat the wounded. Some of the core disciples had suffered severe damage to their Consciousness Spirit Light, and most of their bodies were stained red with blood.

Jiang Shengyu, Su Jingzhu, and Hu Tingwen fought to the death, gazing at the Eight Trigrams Furnace so close at hand. They used their strongest trump cards, wanting to make a desperate attempt, but were met with a fierce counterattack from their opponents, and were even punched through the body.

Qin Ming watched Li Qingyue from afar, wondering when they would meet again.

Seeing that she was surrounded by Elite Disciple and busy there, unable to get away, Qin Ming turned and walked in another direction.

"Everyone, we're all on the same path, we're all on the One of Us. Especially now that the competition for Near Immortal Object has come to an end, we don't need to fight anymore." Qin Ming greeted some Outer Saint with a smile.

The group of people immediately tensed up and became wary of him.

Because everyone knows he has a very important background and may be a descendant of the "Six Sovereigns" lineage.

Most importantly, he is actually Li Qingyue's partner, and the Eight Trigrams Furnace is still in his hands!

Another small group of people, now realizing who he was, felt a chill run down their spines, because they had encountered him in the White Bamboo Forest and had once joined forces to attack him.

When Qin Ming released his Heavenly Light Force, it was only a very thin layer, but in the area of White Bamboo Forest, it not only broke through their encirclement but also pierced through them, killing many of the Golden Armor Guard.

Qin Ming continued, "This competition at the Beyond-Mundane Sect has left a deep impression on me. They used every means at their disposal. Regardless of victory or defeat, after recovering from their injuries, they will undoubtedly improve. We should exchange ideas." A group of people retreated. Was this successor of the Six Imperial System Lineage coming for revenge?

Qin Ming smiled and waved his hand, saying, "Please don't misunderstand, everyone. I meant exchanging Cultivation Method. Let's share what we have." Everyone here is Outer Saint, and their mastery of the Heavenly Light Force Technique should be quite good. He genuinely wanted to exchange ideas with them.

Unfortunately, many people didn't believe him, and some even thought he was extorting money. Qin Ming was quite helpless; his sincerity was met with suspicion, and things weren't going very smoothly.

Even when someone tries to exchange secret manuals with him, he is extremely nervous, and his recitation and demonstrations are filled with complex emotions, making it difficult to fully reveal the true meaning of the manuals.

A long time passed before Qin Ming finally obtained a complete movement Movement Method, the "Lifting Leap Technique." The Outer Saint sighed, saying that his ancestors had also produced great figures who once possessed the "Crossing the River in One Thousand Steps Technique," but unfortunately, it had been lost.

Qin Ming immediately perked up and asked where his hometown was, saying he wanted to visit him in the future. He pondered that if any ancient artifacts remained, he might be able to recreate the "Reed Crossing River Technique," which clearly transcended the scope of ordinary Cultivation Method.

Afterwards, Qin Ming obtained another book, "Tiger's Roar," which didn't sound particularly special, but it could cultivate a special kind of energy that could vibrate one's body and strengthen the internal organs.

"Sigh, whose ancestors weren't once wealthy? Above my family's Tiger's Roar Technique, there was once the Five Thunder Refinement Art, and above that, there's supposedly an Eight Sceneries Divine Illumination Art."

Qin Ming earnestly asked him to explain in detail.

"The Eight Sceneries Divine Illumination Art requires cultivating a visible yet intangible lamp within the chest and abdomen. This lamp illuminates the entire body, refining the internal organs and even tempering the consciousness. As for its effects... I don't know. It's long been lost."

Qin Ming sighed inwardly. There were indeed many Extraordinary Art in this world. Just hearing about them was enough to make one yearn for them. If one could actually learn them, it would be truly exciting.

But he could only shake his head. This Outer Saint had already said that his great-grandfather's generation had moved countless times and changed cities many times. They had long forgotten where their Lineage's roots were.

Li Qingyue walked over lightly and gracefully. Seeing Qin Ming exchanging Heavenly Light Force Techniques with someone, she said with a gentle smile, "When we get back, I'll help you find a Cultivation Method; it must be very precious."

Qin Ming handed her the Eight Trigrams Furnace, then walked to the side with her and began to talk in hushed tones.

"You've obtained Near Immortal Object. Surely no old geezer will break the rules and take it away?" "No!" Li Qingyue shook her head.

"That's good." Qin Ming took the furnace lid out of his pocket, along with a handful of five or six different colored, crystal-clear "Exotic Metal," all accompanied by wondrous sights. Some were shrouded in a misty purple Purple Mist, while others were covered with mysterious patterns, all of which could calm the mind.

Then, he handed her the sheet of metal paper with Ruixia's image flowing through it, with only one corner remaining.

Li Qingyue looked surprised; these things all had a significant history.

She accepted them all without hesitation.

Because those Old Senior had already entered before, and all of them possessed Pure Yang Consciousness Spirit Light, they must know what was at the bottom of the pit.

Now, the best option for both her and Qin Ming is to take all the items with them and not keep any for themselves. "This tattered piece of paper... what a pity," Li Qingyue sighed softly.

Qin Ming didn't say anything. He planned to wait until the storm had completely passed before finding an opportunity to pass on the two mysterious scriptures to her.

Because telling her now might carry unpredictable risks.

He was extremely wary of the methods used by Beyond the Mundane People, such as possession. If someone were to spy on Li Qingyue's Consciousness Spirit Light, he would naturally not be able to escape.

Those domineering Old Senior were all unfathomable, like ghosts and gods. Qin Ming didn't want to face them, and he couldn't afford to take the risk right now. For now, he could only comfort her, saying, "Perhaps we can complete it in the future. The Page of True Inheritance aren't so easily lost."

"I hope so," Li Qingyue nodded.

Before leaving, she sat quietly in the giant pit for a long time, refining her Consciousness Spirit Light of the Heavenly Light. "Those seniors probably had us compete here so that we could use this place to cultivate." In the end, a large group of people walked back along the original path.

Li Qingxu gritted her teeth, using her Consciousness Spirit Light to stand up on her own. "I'll carry you back," Zeng Yuan, stepping forward.

"No need!" Li Qingxu shook his head in refusal, and then quickly walked away.

However, he returned not long after. He was cautious by nature and feared that someone might be secretly following him and killing him on the road while he was still seriously injured.

Zeng Yuan and Zheng Maoze supported each other; the two were truly brothers in misfortune, having both touched Near Immortal Object and briefly possessed it, but both were severely injured as a result.

"Junior sister, we ganged up on you earlier... sigh, I'm really sorry." Tang Xumi grimaced, enduring the pain, wanting to explain to Li Qingyue, but ultimately Say More.

He greatly admired Li Qingyue and hoped to get closer to her, but now he feared he would never have the chance again, and he felt a deep sense of loss.

Li Qingyue said, "It's alright for everyone to use all sorts of methods to obtain Near Immortal Object. Once we leave this place, we'll still be the same as before, fellow disciples."

In fact, she knew that Tang Xumi had left her an opening at the last moment when she was surrounded, allowing her to break through and escape. However, she severely injured Ren Yiping from the other side and fought her way out.

Qin Ming dug out the Overlord Spear on the way.

"I'll hold it for you." Li Qingyue took it, to prevent any members of Li Qingxu's lineage from being unable to accept defeat. "Wang Caiwei might have recognized me," Qin Ming secretly informed her on the way.

Li Qingyue paused, and said only two simple words, "It's nothing."

"The results are in; they're coming out." Many people were waiting outside the Luofu Immortal Mountain Ruins.

They already knew that this competition had been marred by various unexpected events, with the Near Immortal Object changing hands several times. Tang Xumi had twice managed to seize it, but unfortunately, he missed out on it each time.

In fact, those who truly know the inside story are quite clear that Li Qingxu almost succeeded. With the cooperation of the young man from the Yin Yang Temple, plus his ability to secretly help Tang Xumi, and finally getting Lu Zhen to betray him, it was as if the three of them were working together. If Li Qingxu had just caught the Eight Trigrams Furnace once, he could have used a mysterious escape technique to travel far away at an extremely fast speed.

The Cui Household family members looked grim. They knew very well that Cui Chonghe's Consciousness Spirit Light had possessed the body, and if nothing unexpected had happened, he would probably have been able to stand out from the crowd. However, he had been discovered twice.

Clearly, the reason Cui Chonghe was besieged by the six Core Disciple for the second time was because Li Qingyue secretly had someone she trusted leak the information to Tang Xumi and the others.

"Indeed, Li Qingyue won the Near Immortal Object. She defeated all her competitors cleanly and beautifully. Such a result is well-deserved!" An Old Senior nodded and smiled as he spoke.

This is a very important person, someone who dared to slam his fist on the table with Li Qingxu's master. If he stood up to praise him like this, who would dare to disagree?

Immediately, outside the ruins, many people praised her, believing that Li Qingyue possessed Near-Immortal qualities and deserved special resources for her cultivation.

Some were happy and excited, while others were disappointed and indignant. Many disciples participated this time, and behind them were the traditions of the Beyond the Mundane and even Millennium Aristocratic Family.

"Is Li Ye really Li Qingyue's cousin? He seized the Overlord Spear and killed many people..." someone said with dissatisfaction.

"Shut up! When my Qing Yue was besieged by many families, our Li Family didn't say anything. If you have nothing better to do, you can go to the Hidden Family Li Family family..." Only then did someone from the Lineage behind Li Qingyue step forward. It turned out to be a reclusive great family. Although it didn't have the large population or the vastness of the Millennium Aristocratic Family, its members were all true experts!

Clearly, no one would actually cause trouble at this critical juncture, and those who were about to stir up trouble immediately shut up.

At this moment, Li Qingyue became the center of attention, and everyone's eyes were on her. She had to pay her respects to some of her seniors and respond humbly and appropriately.

Then, a group of young people stepped forward and surrounded her in the center like stars around the moon.

Undoubtedly, the competition for this Near Immortal Object has had a tremendous impact, drawing people from ancient lineages and powerful sects in the Beyond the Mundane Pure Land.

Because, in a sense, those who obtain Near Immortal Object will inevitably rise rapidly and are destined to become great figures in the Beyond the Mundane.

Now, some successors of the Daoist lineage, as well as some renowned geniuses from Beyond the Mundane, have all come to the scene.

"Isn't that Senior Brother Pei? His talent is unparalleled. He's not even twenty-five years old yet, and he can already discuss the Dao with some seniors. He's Immortal Seed in our Pure Land!"

"Senior Brother Pei is as handsome as jade, refined and dashing, and he has such an ethereal air about him. He has never found dao companion, and he and Junior Sister Li look so well-matched standing there!" a woman couldn't help but exclaim.

"Hey, Senior Brother Zhuo has appeared too. Not only is his talent astonishing, but he has also opened the Divine Eye between his eyebrows, which allows him to see through the essence of immortality. His future achievements are unimaginable. His Divine Eye is in no way inferior to Junior Sister Li's Spirit Eyes; the two can be said to complement each other perfectly."

Qin Ming slowly retreated, because there was really no place for him to stand, and he was gradually squeezed out. Li Qingyue was surrounded by renowned talents from the Beyond the Mundane, the weakest of whom were at the Yellow Court Realm.

Some people are destined to become the future masters of the Beyond the Mundane Pure Land, and they have already begun to show their talents, with their status already quite illustrious.

Li Qingyue, the center of attention, smiled as she spoke with those people. It was clear that some of them had been deliberately arranged by their Lineage and the lineages behind them. Li Qingyue had only recently embarked on the Immortal Path, making it the perfect time to approach them, befriend them, and perhaps even take things further.

Meng Xinghai approached Qin Ming and said, "You've been a great help, why did you back out?"

Qin Ming shook his head and said, "As a Golden Armor Guard, I look out of place standing there. Qing Yue is surrounded by Heavenly Prodigy, either descendants of sect leaders or geniuses. The followers behind these people are all Jade Armor Guard, and even... Divine Armor Guard."

He could only sigh. Before leaving, he wanted to say goodbye, but he couldn't even get close. He would be blocked by others. The difference in their status made the distance between them seem to widen suddenly.
