As night fell and the Fire Spring gradually died down, Qin Ming could still see clearly with his Eye of New Life that the figure standing on the dark mountain peak covered in Immortal Mist was Uncle Cui Qi.

Cui Hao is a direct descendant of the clan and possesses exceptional talent, making him one of the future pillars of the Cui Household.

Qin Ming felt that he might know where his grandfather was.

On the beautiful mountain peak, shrouded in night mist, Cui Hao stood quietly. He had been standing there for a long time, watching the boy on the opposite earthen slope with concern.

His face was pale, and he looked like he was just recovering from a serious illness.

He once went to the Western Territory Battlefield, fought a series of battles, fought against demons, narrowly escaped death, and has been recuperating since.

Cui Hao withdrew his gaze, feeling ashamed to face his nephew. After he emerged from seclusion, he learned of many things that had happened, but none of them could be changed.

He wanted to make amends, but found that Qin Ming had already shown his talent and was gradually rising in status. Moreover, he was associated with Lu Zizai, Yu Gensheng, and others, which allowed him to protect himself.

He sighed, turned, and walked into the night fog. As long as the child was doing well, that was enough for him. He didn't want to cause the boy any trouble because of himself.

An ordinary person would not be able to see his expression clearly, but Qin Ming could clearly see the gloom, helplessness, and guilt on his pale face.

Qin Ming could no longer have any goodwill towards most of the Cui Household. Some people wanted to keep him in the remote area of Black White Mountain, while others wanted to get rid of him directly.

Moreover, his family heirloom Silk Scripture fell into the hands of the Cui Family Old Ancestor.

One day, when his cultivation is high enough, he will surely go to the Cui Household to seek justice.

In this Millennium Aristocratic Family history spanning thousands of years, Qin Ming was closest to Uncle Cui Qi and also held him in high regard.

If it weren't for Cui Hao, and Cui Hao's grandfather, Qin Ming would have inevitably died after the war between the Li Household and Cui Household, following the original trajectory. It was these two, grandfather and grandson, who saved him one after the other.

Qin Ming strode out of the slope, his face slightly pale. He was truly suffering from the shock of that terrifying emotion, having gone back and forth between Hell and heaven.

However, he State of Mind peace and full of a sense of accomplishment. He repaired the broken Jade Book and kept it in his heart.

"How was the harvest?" Grandmaster Ling Canghai asked with a smile.

"Difficult, difficult, difficult. I've only glimpsed the surface of the True Scripture scriptures, barely scratching the surface," Qin Ming sighed, repeating the word "difficult" three times.

In an instant, the place fell silent, and many people showed strange expressions; he had truly gained some insight!

Qin Ming was taken aback. He had been so low-key, saying he had only touched the edge, so why did they still have such expressions?

A white-haired Grandmaster sighed, "Truly remarkable! At your age, you've already achieved a basic understanding of the shattered Jade Book. A hero indeed, even a young man!"

The area around the hillside was no longer peaceful. A group of people cast strange glances at them, many with complex expressions: some were shocked, some were disappointed, some were envious, and some were utterly indifferent.

"One of the three great True Scripture with the highest difficulty level on the Immortal Path immortality, known as the Heavenly Scripture, he can actually understand a portion of it!"

"Truly deserving of its reputation as one of the most outstanding Immortal Seed."

At this moment, Qin Ming's identity New Life Path was ignored, and he was passively labeled a "Immortal Seed," a title bestowed upon him by a group of renowned figures who viewed him as Beyond the Mundane People.

If Lu Zizai weren't here, they would definitely have examined his bones and Mental Field thoroughly. With such extraordinary talent, who wouldn't want to study him?

Ling Canghai stepped forward and said that he had already arranged accommodations.

Originally, Qin Ming and Lu Zizai to say goodbye and leave, but after discovering Uncle Cui Qi, he readily agreed to stay for the night.

"That's excellent. I was just about to have more conversations with Brother Qin," said Immortal Seed Zhuo Qingming.

Tang Xumi stepped forward and said, "Brother Qin, here, I've brought you the Cultivation Method I owed you back then."

Qin Ming was surprised. He took it and glanced at it. The name... was actually <The Upright Demon Ape Scripture>.

"Are you serious?" he asked, looking at Tang Xumi.

When Qin Ming was fighting his way through the Western Territory, he was often called the Upright Ape Demon King by demons. And he still saw this term after returning!

Tang Xumi said, "This is Cultivation Method I obtained on the Western Territory Battlefield. Don't be put off by it; it's quite profound and should be considered a Extraordinary Art."

"Alright then!" What else could Qin Ming say? He thanked him and put the bag away.

Soon, Helian Zhaoyu sent someone to "deliver a message," saying that he wanted to have a sparring match with Shallow Night after she arrived.

Qin Ming didn't want to pay any attention. He had just returned from the Western Territory Battlefield and had been bathed in the blood of so many Heavenly Demon Seed. He had no interest in ordinary battles.

However, after a moment's thought, he decided it wouldn't hurt to agree.

Helian Zhaoyu and he had a deep-seated grudge, so he certainly didn't come with good intentions. Since the other party wanted to challenge him, he didn't mind getting involved and helping Qing Yue get rid of the trouble.

If Helian Zhaoyu suffers a crushing defeat in front of everyone, will he still have the face to harass Li Qingyue in the future?

Qin Ming said, "Okay, have him prepare the items that interest me."

The person who relayed the message was Helian Zhaoyu's cousin, who was stunned upon hearing it. Did the other party want an "appearance fee"?

"It's just a friendly spar, why make such a fuss?" Helian Zhaohui was very dissatisfied.

Qin Ming replied, "Don't you know in yourselves whether this is a friendly spar or not? Well, consider it a prize. If I lose, I naturally won't bring it up again."

Those who hadn't dispersed yet, upon hearing their conversation, immediately perked up, wishing that Shallow Night would arrive immediately. They hadn't expected that there would be a clash between top-tier Immortal Seed.

At this moment, the Fire Spring in the Pure Land was artificially adjusted, and the flames gradually subsided, but it created an even more beautiful and serene atmosphere.

Li Qingyue and Qin Ming walked away, their silhouettes still faintly visible in the silver bamboo forest.

Helian Zhaoyu watched the two leave with an icy expression.

Wei Cheng said, "Zhaoyu, I'll walk with you for a bit."

"I'm going to meditate!" Helian Zhaoyu got goosebumps and turned to leave.

Wei Cheng nodded, smiled, and said, "Looking forward to tomorrow!"

He State of Mind; after all, it wasn't him who did it.

The Pure Land at night possesses a hazy beauty. The celestial trees shed their gentle light, and the medicinal herbs exhale auspicious fragrance. As far as the eye can see, all the vegetation is draped in a soft veil, shrouded in a faint halo, like a fairytale world bathed in moonlight and Immortal Mist, tranquil and enchanting.

Qin Ming and Li Qingyue walked side by side, strolling through the Pure Land.

He didn't mention the Four-Page Jade Book, leaving it for later. After all, they were currently in the Pure Land, and if others discovered that he had actually completed the True Scripture, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Helian Zhaoyu is not weak. He has honed his skills from the Fourth Realm and has been constantly refining himself with extreme techniques," Li Qingyue said.

Qin Ming laughed and said, "This shows that when he first ventured into certain fields, he couldn't reach the pinnacle and couldn't achieve success overnight, so he had to start over."

Li Qingyue smiled faintly and said, "That's the Ten Thousand Refinements Method, from a priceless secret manual. But after you put it that way, its mystique has faded considerably."

She cautioned, "Don't be careless!"

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing." Qin Ming's smile faded.

He naturally wouldn't underestimate Helian Zhaoyu, who was originally a powerful immortal Immortal Seed at the Fourth Realm, and clearly intended to use the Ten Thousand Refinements Method to build the strongest foundation.

Shallow Night fell, all the Fire Spring became bright.

Then, a golden sunrise shone from the Immortal Mist mountain peaks to the east, bathing the Pure Land in a fresh and vibrant atmosphere.

Accompanied by Li Qingyue, Qin Ming went to see Cui Hao.

On a beautiful mountain peak, beside a medicinal herb field, sits a thatched cottage, shrouded in Immortal Mist. Cui Hao lives and cultivates here in seclusion.

His expression was complicated, and he sighed, "Alas!"

"Seventh Uncle, are you injured?" Qin Ming didn't stand on ceremony and stepped forward to support his arm.

"I'm fine, my injury is almost healed. Three years have passed in the blink of an eye, and you're already taller than me," Cui Hao said, and the two of them tacitly avoided mentioning the people and things related to the Cui Household.

A moment later, Cui Hao regained his usual talkativeness. Looking at Li Qingyue waiting in the distance, he turned to Qin Ming and smiled, "Not bad, you have a good eye. She's the most beautiful girl in our Pure Land, Immortal Seed with unparalleled talent."

Then he nodded and said, "Well, speaking of which, you've known each other for a long time. That's good, you know each other well."

"Seventh Uncle, I have some questions for you." Later, Qin Ming's smile faded, and he earnestly inquired about his grandfather's whereabouts.

He was filled with worry. Calculating the time, he realized that the old man, who had no cultivation, had already reached his twilight years, and he didn't know if he would ever have the chance to see him again.

Cui Hao said, "Although I was one of the first people to meet your grandfather, it was ultimately your father... who personally received the old man."

The so-called father refers to Father Cui.

"Where did he ultimately go..." Qin Ming's voice trembled.

"It is said that he insisted on leaving in order to find your biological parents." Cui Hao was not present at the time; these were all things that Father Cui told him.

Then he mentioned several place names.

Qin Ming frowned deeply and remained silent for a long time.

He least wanted to see Father Cui. and Mother Cui, but he knew he couldn't avoid it in the future, so he had to go there in person to ask them for clarification.

However, he couldn't wait any longer. He needed Lu Zizai's help with this matter and was about to pay a visit to the Cui Household in the coming days!

He already possessed a complete Silk Book Method and was in no hurry to meet the Cui Family Old Ancestor. He would wait until he was strong enough before personally demanding the only thing his grandfather had left him.

Now that Lu Zizai broken through the Heavenly Gate, the most important thing is that he has solved the problem of his "old body" and can now walk freely in the world.

Qin Ming was prepared to swallow his pride and ask him to accompany him to the Cui Household.

However, he didn't plan to tell Cui Hao about this, to avoid putting him in a difficult position and causing him unnecessary anxiety.

"You're going to the Cui Household?" After leaving, Li Qingyue learned of his plan and was immediately taken aback. If the Cui Household knew who was accompanying him, they would probably be on high alert and might even cause a huge uproar.

"Qin Ming, when will you arrive? My uncle has been waiting for you for a long time!" Helian Mingxu appeared, no more than eleven years old, dressed in fine clothes, with a jade pendant hanging from his waist, somewhat precocious.

Qin Ming didn't have a good impression of him. Back when he, Xiao Wu, and Xiang Yiwu lived on the moon of Dayu, it was this boy who had someone clean up their residence in advance.

"What's the rush? Let him wait!"

"You..." Helian Mingxu had red lips and white teeth, and was quite handsome. He was very angry at the moment, but he managed to restrain himself, especially in front of Li Qingyue. He didn't want to lose his composure.

On this bright morning, the young generation of Pure Land gathered early, a large crowd waiting to witness a fierce battle.

In fact, a group of older figures also arrived at the scene. After all, it was a top-level competition Immortal Seed, which made them unable to sit still.

Helian Zhaoyu said, "Fighting in the Martial Arts Arena is boring. Let's go to the Night Mist World outside the Pure Land!"

"No problem!" Qin Ming nodded, understanding his meaning: not to fight within the enclosed territory, but to fight freely and unleash their full potential.

The two rushed forward first, and soon after, they left the world of fragrant flowers, singing birds, and bright spring sunshine, and arrived in the frigid, snowy wilderness.

"What would it be like to be defeated at the peak of one's life?" Helian Zhaoyu asked, walking side by side with Qin Ming, in a voice only the two of them could hear.

"Have you ever truly shone?" Qin Ming asked calmly.

I'm getting dental implants tomorrow, and I'm trembling with fear. I'll stop writing here for tonight and go to bed early.
