Together in the quiet room
In the Quiet Room, on the Green Sandalwood Tea Table, the teacups were as white as snow, and a delicate fragrance rose and filled the air between the two people.
Li Qingyue looked at him, her bright eyes clear, a smile spreading across her face, and asked, "You didn't bring me a jar of fine wine, did you?"
Qin Ming's hair was jet black, and his eyes were bright. Thinking of the past, he couldn't help but smile, shook his head, and said, "This time the gift isn't wine, but it might actually make you a little tipsy."
"Oh, what's that?" Li Qingyue asked in surprise, quite curious.
In this quiet and Elegant Room, there were exquisite tea sets, as well as a desk, writing brush, ink, paper, and inkstone. He took out some paper and prepared to write down those two incredibly mysterious scriptures.
Li Qingyue also stood up, graceful and elegant, and came to the table to personally grind the powder for him.
Her Consciousness Spirit Light like a golden sun, illuminating the sea of mist. Her instincts were incredibly sharp, and she the Unseen something was happening that would influence her future.
The aroma of tea mingled with a faint scent of ink, slowly permeating the Quiet Room. Qin Ming sat down and began to write rapidly, his Essence, Qi, and Spirit highly focused, extremely serious, not wanting even the slightest flaw in his handwriting.
He restored the scriptures exactly as he saw them, perfectly capturing their Divine Charm. After resonating with his spirit, the meaning of those scriptures would not have any deviation or flaw.
He even added the comments of that terrifying predecessor, as well as his words when instructing his disciples.
As Li Qingyue watched his focused expression, she noticed that the ink on his brush seemed to glow slightly as he wrote. This was a manifestation of his conscious and insightful engagement, indicating that he was completely immersed in the writing, allowing the words on the paper to come alive.
Then, his whole body glowed slightly, as if resonating with the scriptures on the paper. Li Qingyue's beautiful face, as white as mutton fat jade, was filled with solemnity. She took out a Nine-Colored Seal and placed it in the room to prevent the faint light from spreading out.
She approached and examined it closely.
For a moment, her Consciousness Spirit Light also fluctuated.
Li Qingyue knew that this was a priceless scripture, and that it was closely related to her.
Is this the gift Qin Ming is going to give her? Li Qingyue, unusually composed, exuded an aura that seemed out of place with her usual serene demeanor. Her mouth agape, she was utterly astonished, a look of disbelief on her face.
Qin Ming was extremely focused, and he only breathed a sigh of relief when he finished writing the last word of the first scripture.
Suddenly, he realized that Li Qingyue was right beside him, engrossed in reading a scripture about the Eight Trigrams Furnace, her whole being glowing.
He didn't disturb them, and sat there quietly.
He then began to peruse the scripture that Li Qingyue had brought.
Soon, he became engrossed in watching it, and naturally resonated with it on a spiritual level.
Qin Ming realized that the old monsters of the Beyond the Mundane were very cautious, which was not the original situation.
He saw scenes from the past: someone was copying scriptures, and this copy was exactly the same as the original, probably one or two hundred years old.
Many people have read this book, but they have all been stumped, leaving them with mostly negative feelings and little practical value.
Qin Ming shared the same emotions as those people, all in order to remember the contents of this book.
He kept flipping through the pages, and before he knew it, he had reached the last page and memorized everything. He closed the book and decided it could be called the "Life Altering Scripture".
When Qin Ming looked up, he found Li Qingyue looking at him. "I've memorized it all," he said, returning the book. "So fast?" Li Qingyue asked in surprise.
"That's fine." Qin Ming nodded.
At this moment, Li Qingyue had also read through all the papers on the desk that still smelled of ink and memorized their contents.
Her beautiful eyes sparkled with surprise, unexpected joy, and deep emotion. She said, "I won't say thank you; that would be too formal." She knew that with this scripture, the Near Immortal Object truly belonged to her!
At the same time, she didn't ask Qin Ming how he obtained the Mnemonic about the Six Ding Divine Fire. She knew that everyone had their own secrets, and she herself was no exception.
Qin Ming said, "I didn't dare to pass it on to you before at the Luofu Immortal Mountain Ruins, for fear that some omnipotent Old Senior might sense it and possess me."
"I know." Li Qingyue nodded.
She gently pressed her hand against her fair brow and said, "I have engraved it in the deepest core of my Consciousness Spirit Light. If anyone covets it, even if they successfully possess me, they will gain nothing; it will dissipate along with me..."
Qin Ming immediately stopped her from continuing, saying, "Don't say such unlucky things. I'm still waiting for you to Near-Immortal immortality before truly Truth Seeking!"
Li Qingyue nodded. Her slender, white hand touched a stack of sutra papers on the desk, and a faint flame immediately appeared. The papers quickly turned to ashes.
"Although I would love to keep your manuscript, for safety's sake, it's best not to leave any trace. You can send me a replacement copy in the future."
"We'll probably need to order two more," Qin Ming said with a smile.
After he finished speaking, he picked up his pen and wrote again, this time on the words and patterns on the Metal Remnant Paper, scriptures that could not be touched until one had reached the third Major Realm.
When he was focused, the Consciousness Spirit Light that maintained his balance, as well as his Divine Wisdom, overflowed again, filling his pen and giving those words Essence, Qi, and Spirit. Li Qingyue helped him grind the ink while she recited it along with him.
Qin Ming continued writing until he finished completely.
She was once again lost in thought, her black hair slipping down one side of her ivory-white and delicate cheek. Unconsciously, the ends of her hair touched Qin Ming, and a faint fragrance wafted through the air.
She was ethereal and otherworldly, as if she had absorbed the spiritual essence of the paper. As she finished reading, all the words and patterns gradually lost their luster.
Li Qingyue turned her head, her black hair brushing against Qin Ming's face. Coming back to her senses, her ethereal beauty seemed to vanish temporarily, replaced by undisguised joy and excitement. She said, "The insurmountable mountain that blocked my path has been removed. This is the fundamental method I have been searching for."
Clearly, this is the content of the "Page of True Inheritance"!
In the past, Luofu Immortal Mountain was the foundation of Beyond the Mundane Pure Land, and the scriptures there were naturally of unimaginable importance.
"I'm glad it's useful to you." Qin Ming smiled, then reminded her that she shouldn't practice such a fundamental technique until she reached the third level, or something bad would happen.
"I know." Li Qingyue nodded, as if she had breathed a sigh of relief from the bottom of her heart, and her brows shone with an even brighter radiance.
"You seemed a little troubled earlier?" Qin Ming asked. "You noticed," Li Qingyue nodded, not hiding anything.
She informed them that the competition among the Core Disciple had ended, but as Near-Immortal Seed cultivated by the Beyond the Mundane Pure Land, the competitive pressure was even greater.
"Our lineage has lived on Luofu Immortal Mountain for generations. A thousand years ago, we attempted to ascend from this Blessed Land to Grotto-Heaven, but failed due to numerous unforeseen events, and lost our fundamental methods."
In the past, although a "Immortal Seed" escaped from Luofu Mountain and learned the scriptures on the Metal Remnant Paper, he quickly disappeared and never returned.
Some say that he was afraid that Old Senior would have their eyes on him and worried that something might happen to him, so he went into hiding under an assumed name.
Some say he might have been captured by Old Senior of other lineages that very day. Li Qingyue's lineage also learned the fundamental method, but it had flaws. If she reaches the third Major Realm and hasn't completed it, then she'll need to consider other scriptures.
The Beyond the Mundane Pure Land secular world naturally possesses several sacred scriptures with unimaginable depth, but obtaining them without paying a price is unrealistic.
She either has to wait several years for several Old Senior to reach an agreement, or she has to make a huge contribution to the Pure Land before she can exchange it immediately.
For her, time was incredibly precious; even a year's delay would affect her future competition. The several Near-Immortal Seed in the Pure Land all had extremely powerful origins.
They are vying for control of the future Beyond the Mundane Pure Land; whoever wins will be the future leader.
Even more remarkably, some Near-Immortal Seed, backed by their clan's Old Ancestor and possessing an innate advantage, extended olive branches to her, implying that if she sided with them, she could obtain the Sect-Suppressing Level's most important scriptures as soon as possible.
In fact, she was subjected to excessive demands from more than one party.
After Li Qingyue refused, obtaining the strongest scripture became even more difficult, requiring a further postponement. Competition is everywhere, even the Beyond-Mundane Path is divided into several major systems.
"We are considered Pure Land System Beyond the Mundane, along with other lands such as Immortal Land, Sunland, and Calamity Land."
Qin Ming soon learned that the young man whose physical body could turn into mist that he killed in Black White Mountain must have come from the Beyond the Mundane Yang Land.
Although the area is said to be Sunland, it is actually quite Yin Qi nature. The physical body and Consciousness Spirit Light are integrated into one, leaning towards yin characteristics. They believe in the ancient legend of the Yin Spirit traveling and eventually transforming into Pure Yang.
"Don't wrong yourself." Qin Ming looked at her, but unfortunately, he was still too weak to help.
Perhaps only a sect's Ancestor can calmly ascend to the Beyond the Mundane, but he is still far from that level. Li Qingyue hummed in agreement and nodded, saying, "Once you humble yourself, the path to Near-Immortal is severed. Judging from my previous situation, I really have nothing to fear. At the very least, I will be one of the core leaders of the Pure Beyond the Mundane Pure Land in the future. Now, naturally, I must compete for the position with the most say."
Her body radiated an ethereal, otherworldly aura, flowing with dazzling brilliance. She exuded unparalleled confidence, now possessing even the most powerful scriptures, eliminating any need for distraction.
"I should go now," Li Qingyue said.
She took out two pieces of "Exotic Metal," one emitting Purple Mist and the other as white as jade, and placed them in his hand.
She explained, "If you forge it into a weapon, it can penetrate Divine Wisdom, Heavenly Light Force, and Consciousness Spirit Light. To block it, you'll need powerful methods."
Qin Ming took only one piece and said, "One piece is enough. I'll study it. You can take the other one."
Li Qingyue didn't stand on ceremony and put one away. Although she possessed Near Immortal Object, she dared not bring it out, otherwise something bad would definitely happen.
She stood up, looked at Qin Ming, smiled, and finally stepped forward to give him a gentle hug, saying, "I hope that one day you will illuminate the night sky with the Heavenly Light!"
Without a doubt, only the most powerful Ancestor throughout history could truly achieve that. This can be considered the best wish for Qin Ming, who is embarking on the New Life Path.
Qin Ming knew that after she left, she would probably make great strides, striving for even higher realms and embarking on the strongest Immortal Path in her heart. He wouldn't see her for a long time.
He also gently embraced Li Qingyue and watched her leave.
"Near-Immortal, but not quite an immortal. I'm still a mortal. If you're tired or weary, you can come out and have a drink with me," Qin Ming called out with a smile.
Although she had already gone far away, Li Qingyue still heard it. She stopped, turned around, smiled and nodded. Finally, accompanied by an elder, her figure faded away and disappeared completely.
