Yin Yang Maze
The fastest update to Seeking the Dao in the Mortal World!
In fact, Qin Yi himself did not know why he learned this method based on the theory of Yin and Yang cultivation so smoothly—he had never come into contact with a similar method since he began cultivating, because Liusu did not know it at all.
In the past, when he learned things, he either received patient guidance and clear explanations from Liusu, or he received a single insightful explanation from Ju Yunxiu that went straight into his mind. He had never experienced studying and researching on his own with a secret manual, let alone encountering such an unfamiliar method.
Moreover, this time the trick was discovered at the last minute, and even the Liusu that was usually discussed was not there. He quickly learned this Cultivation Method to deal with the situation. He never thought he could master it so quickly.
Although there are still many areas where I haven't fully grasped the concepts and have only learned the basic applications, I've already managed to integrate them with my other Technique Method, which is a pretty good achievement.
She became increasingly skilled, and what was originally just enough to suppress the effects of the pills on herself, after getting used to it, even had the strength to unleash the Soul-Seizing Sound to attack Xi Xiangzi.
Am I just naturally suited to this kind of dirty driving Cultivation Method?
As Qin Yi became increasingly smooth, Xi Xiangzi became increasingly tragic.
Using the methods of the Great Joy Temple to scheme against Qin Yi, Xi Xiangzi never expected that he would be outsmarted by the Great Joy Temple's own tactics, truly turning the tables on them. Xi Xiangzi's prepared defenses completely backfired, leaving him no choice but to swallow a self-prepared pill and simultaneously concentrate all his cultivation to resist.
This is where skill and experience come into play.
But how did Qin Yi's cultivation become so strong...?
Qin Xin cultivation level four?
A ninth-grade magic Law Treasure, the jade flute, amplifies Law Power and sound effects.
How long has it been since the last handshake?
Xi Xiangzi was practically spitting blood; he was about to reach his limit. In other words, he was about to go into heat in front of everyone! This was originally a scheme they planned to use to humiliate Qin Yi and make Qin Yi unable to stay, but now Xi Xiangzi was the one to suffer the consequences.
Xi Xiangzi looked pleadingly towards a corner of the venue, in the direction of Zheng Yunyi.
Zheng Yunyi sighed and finally spoke, "Wait a minute."
The sound contained Law Power vibrations, disrupting the flow of the flute's melody. Qin Yi's flute playing lost all its effect, forcing him to stop. He said calmly, "If I remember the rules correctly, whichever side interferes first loses?"
The elder in charge on the sidelines said, "Indeed, this round was won by Junior Nephew Qin..."
"Wait a minute." Zheng Yunyi stood up, took out a folding fan, and gently patted his palm. He said seriously, "If I heard correctly, Junior Brother Qin's flute playing contained the Dharma of the Great Joy Temple? I heard that Junior Brother Qin is a Rogue Cultivator with some skills... Could it be that he is actually from the Great Joy Sect?"
The fellow disciples watching the battle immediately began to whisper among themselves.
The Great Joy Temple, a notorious Demon Sect, is even more scorned in the eyes of female cultivators. Although the Ten Thousand Dao Immortal Palace is not mainstream and can be considered "heretical," its members are mostly eccentrics, and Ju Yunxiu's branch is even more refined, making them completely different from the Great Joy Temple in their paths.
Some people were even secretly watching Ju Yunxiu's expression.
Could this Junior Brother Qin be someone secretly sent by the Great Joy Temple to pluck Ju Yunxiu's flower...?
Ju Yunxiu remained expressionless, resting her chin on her hand as she watched Qin Yi's reply. She was also very curious about why Qin Yi knew the Dharma of the Great Joy Temple.
Qin Yi twirled the flute gracefully on his fingers and laughed, "Senior Brother Zheng, that's not very interesting. Anyone who isn't a fool can see that my cultivation foundation is orthodox and traditional, and it's completely different from the cultivation at the Great Joy Temple."
The craftsman, Martial Uncle Mo, said, "That's right. Nephew Qin's cultivation is the traditional Immortal Dao, upright and vigorous, with countless creations. It is unheard of in this world. He must have obtained some High Antiquity inheritance."
Qin Yi rose and bowed. "It was indeed an accidental discovery of a fragment of High Antiquity inheritance, but I found it difficult to make progress, and I was also unaware of the cultivation methods of this world, so I came to the Immortal Palace to seek the Dao. I was appreciated by Senior Sister Ju and was accepted as her disciple."
Martial Uncle Mo nodded.
The cranes and white deer at the gates of the Celestial Palace are no ordinary spiritual birds or beasts; they are capable of discerning countless people, and one could say they are even more accurate in judging a person's character than the cranes themselves. Since the cranes led the way, it proves there's nothing wrong with it.
The whispers in the hall subsided. The so-called High Antiquity inheritance, whether incomplete or not, was not coveted by the people of the Immortal Palace. High Antiquity things were not necessarily good, and besides, their paths differed. The Ten Thousand Dao Immortal Palace emphasized passion, while traditional immortal Immortal Dao did not; they were fundamentally different. Even if the so-called High Antiquity inheritance was of a high level, it held no value for them.
If it were something to steal and exchange for something else, that would be one thing, but what if it's truly a worthless fragment? It's not worth being greedy for it. Cultivators aren't gangsters; they don't just steal anything good they see...
Zheng Yunyi smiled and said, "Since Martial Uncle Mo says so, then it must be true. But Junior Brother Qin's techniques from the Great Joy Temple are definitely genuine; I wonder where they came from?"
That was a very insidious statement. If Qin Yi truthfully answered that he had stolen it from the Great Joy Temple, the next question would be, "Why didn't you destroy this evil and crooked practice you stole? What's your purpose in learning it?" Since Qin Yi and Ju Yunxiu spent so much time together, and he was learning such things, no matter how he explained it, people would think he had ulterior motives towards Ju Yunxiu. That would be like mud stuck in your pants—even if it wasn't excrement, it would still look like excrement.
Qin Yi looked puzzled. "Speaking of which, I am quite curious... There are many seductive arts in the world. Even the pill that Xi Xiangzi Senior Brother Xi Xiangzi gave Jin Senior Brother yesterday was an aphrodisiac. It is said that our Immortal Palace 'Prostitution Sect also has similar techniques. Since I am not a cultivator from the Great Joy Temple, how did Senior Brother Zheng determine that this is the Great Joy Temple's method? Could it be that Senior Brother Zheng is particularly familiar with the Great Joy Temple's methods?"
Zheng Yunyi was momentarily speechless at the counter-question.
You took the medicine from Great Joy Temple and relied on the same source of Dharma to resolve it, so of course I know you used the Dharma of Great Joy Temple... But how can you say that? Are you revealing that you used Great Joy Temple's things first?
This Junior Brother Qin is only seventeen years old, how come he reacted so quickly? Not only did he not fall for the trap, he even turned the tables on him...
He thought for a moment, then suddenly laughed and said, "How about this, I'll have a match with Junior Brother Qin."
"Oh?" Qin Yi raised an eyebrow. "What are you going to compete with me on?"
"The way of chess also involves calculating every detail, which shares some similarities with my own philosophy," Zheng Yunyi said calmly as he walked onto the stage. "For example, let's calculate what the other has."
This is different from what Ju Yunxiu said about obscuring the secrets of heaven. Obscuring the secrets of heaven in general makes them impossible to calculate, but face-to-face divination is just about calculating what you have on your person, and the other party is only at the Heart of the Harp Realm. If you can't even calculate this, then divination can just die.
Qin Yi's heart skipped a beat. He knew what Zheng Yunyi had, but this was incomparable.
The box containing the fragments of the "door" was too dangerous, so he didn't carry it with him. Instead, he hid it in the most heavily guarded part of his cave abode dwelling. A box with such strong concealment was suspicious in itself. What if some powerful figure scanned him with their Divine Sense and found the box strange, insisting on examining it? So once he settled on his cave abode, he hid it, and this time he wasn't afraid of being targeted.
Having some sex toys on him could be explained away; he could simply say he used them to patronize prostitutes. But the copy of the "Great Joy Paradise Sutra" was impossible to explain, and it was Zheng Yunyi's target.
His mind raced, and he was about to make up an excuse when Zheng Yunyi spoke first, "I've already calculated it; Junior Brother Qin's ring must contain the Great Joy Temple's Cultivation Method. Would you dare to let the abbot examine it?"
An uproar erupted on the sidelines.
Qin Yi subconsciously turned to look at Ju Yunxiu.
Ju Yunxiu looked at him quietly, and Qin Yi met her gaze in silence.
The uproar and clamor seemed to vanish in an instant, leaving only the reflections of each other in their pupils.
Qin Yi was curious to know what Ju Yunxiu would think. Would she, like the onlookers, also doubt his intentions? Or even suspect that he was sent by the Great Joy Temple to seduce her?
Ju Yunxiu's eyes are as still as autumn water.
Qin Yi did not reply to Zheng Yunyi immediately. Instead, he turned to look at her, and she knew that Qin Yi might really have something from the Great Joy Temple, and the method he used before was indeed from the Great Joy Temple.
Qin Yi looked at her to see if she believed him, even if he used the methods of the Great Joy Temple.
Ju Yunxiu gazed at him quietly for a long, long time, then slowly parted her cherry lips. "Qin Yi doesn't study chess, so we'll concede this match..."
"Wait a minute," Qin Yi interrupted immediately, a smile gradually spreading across his lips.
The fact that they're willing to make excuses for him shows they still trust him. Any problems Senior Sister be discussed at home, not brought up in front of everyone and made a fool of themselves.
It's good that you have the intention.
Qin Yi was in high spirits and turned to the presiding elder, saying, "Qin Yi accepts the challenge. Please examine my credentials, Elder."
The elder nodded, stepped forward slowly, and placed a finger on Qin Yi's ring.
He only needs to place it on top, and his Divine Sense will naturally be able to explore what's inside.
"A considerable amount of gold, silver, and crystals... Hmm, Junior Nephew Qin's crystal collection is quite impressive..."
Qin Yi laughed and said, "I accidentally saved up a little."
The elder continued, "A Wolf Tooth Club, a sword... a Brocade Handkerchief, tsk tsk..."
Qin Yi laughed and said, "Could you stop gossiping, Uncle-Master..."
"Ahem... a few finished pills, and a scroll... that's all."
"Gone?" Zheng Yunyi showed a surprised expression for the first time. "How is that possible? I clearly calculated that there were Cultivation Method in his ring."
The elder pondered for a moment and said, "Perhaps it is a scroll? Junior Nephew Qin, take it out and take a look."
Qin Yi smiled slightly and took out the scroll.
Upon seeing the scroll, Zheng Yunyi's expression changed drastically, and he instinctively reached for his ring.
That was his painting, how did it end up in Qin Yi's hands?
Could Qin Yi's things be with him?
What's going on?
The elder said, "Please, Junior Nephew Qin, unfold the scroll."
Qin Yi had no idea what was depicted in the scroll, but he was quite curious and unfolded it to take a look.
Then his face changed, turning as red as a pig's liver.
The entire audience erupted in uproar once again, and everyone turned to look at Ju Yunxiu. Even the elder who had conducted the examination turned to look, his old face filled with an ambiguous expression.
Ju Yunxiu's face was as red as blood.
This is a portrait of Ju Yunxiu!
