Several Houses Rejoiced, Several Houses Sorrowed

The fastest update to Seeking the Dao in the Mortal World!

Zhou Yuncheng, terrified, crushed the sect's jade stone.

A gust of wind swept by, bringing with it a suffocating power. Qin Yi instinctively protected himself, but Zhou Yuncheng and Ci Ming on the ground were already carried away by a pair of enormous, phantom hands.

"Huh? Huh?" The ghost face shrank to a few inches in size and jumped onto his shoulder, saying, "What's going on here? You're fighting with someone, why is Huiyang getting involved? Why doesn't Huiyang just crush you with one finger?"

Qin Yi glanced sideways at his shoulder, his hands itching to punch it.

"You can't hit me, hahaha." Liusu laughed with her hands on her hips, "You don't know any mental attack techniques, so you can't deal with Spirit Body. Look at you being tortured so badly by that monk's Spirit Body, hahaha..."

Qin Yi took out the jade flute with a blank expression and played a Soul Voice.

Caught off guard, Liusu rolled off his shoulder but quickly recovered, grabbing his clothes and climbing back up. "You petty, vindictive man, you just wait..."

Qin Yi still glanced at him sideways. "You can fly and float, why are you crawling around holding onto your clothes? Are you trying to be cute?"

"What's it to you?"

"Why can you touch me, but I can't touch you?"

"It's a matter of cultivation level." Liusu sat on his shoulder and made a face. "I'm not telling you."

Making faces, the style was bizarre and hard to describe. Qin Yi's cheeks twitched for a while before he said, "I remember the faces I saw back then weren't like this. They were much more ferocious and hideous than this one."

"That's an image, it's not my face at all, you idiot!"

"So this is what your face actually looks like?"

"Hmph." Liusu did not answer.

Qin Yi never pressed for details about things this guy wouldn't answer, knowing it was pointless. He simply said, "You woke up just in time, otherwise dealing with that Spirit Body would have been quite troublesome for me..."

"A clever idea?" Liusu jumped up again, Wolf Tooth Club materializing in her hand once more. "How did you come up with the idea of using Wolf Tooth Club to bang a gong? Were you deliberately trying to keep me from sleeping? I'll beat you to death!"

What the hell is the opponent's weapon made of Copper Bowl? What can I do? Qin Yi really couldn't argue with this. He was also a little embarrassed for disturbing Liusu's slumber, and he didn't know if it had affected Liusu's recovery of strength. He could only cover his head and squat down to defend himself, letting it beat him up.

After a few taps, Liusu finally calmed down and asked, "What's wrong with you? What's going on with this place full of Yao Qi?"

Qin Yi then sat down and explained the whole story of the Immortal Palace Dao Debate to it.

Liusu stroked her chin. "It seems like you're hiding something..."

Where?

"Something feels off; your relationship with your Senior Sister is strange..."

"... Gossipmonger, this is none of your business!"

Liusu said leisurely, "Yes, it's none of my business. Qin Yi, this Immortal Palace Dao Debate, although not particularly dangerous, is a very complete event with struggles, calculations, Each Plots. In this game, you didn't rely on me in the slightest."

Qin Yi thought about it for a moment and also found the matter quite interesting from this perspective. Liusu hadn't participated in this entire affair; it was probably the first complete incident Qin Yi had handled independently since his Liusu.

Moreover, he was the main character in this event; almost all the matches revolved around and changed around him.

Without Qin Yi, this Immortal Palace Dao Debate might not have unfolded in the way it did.

This proves that even without Liusu, he is capable of handling and even dominating the problem. Although this incident was not major, it was indeed an important sign of Qin Yi's maturity.

"So this monk was taken away, do you have any evidence that they colluded with outsiders?"

"Yes." Qin Yi took out the "navigation map" and smiled, "Last time you said the Image-Recording Mirror was a trick, and it really was. Senior Sister can draw a similar map with ease. This map will briefly record what happened here, and we can release it later. It can at least prove two things: first, there was a mole who secretly put the people from the Great Joy Temple into the secret realm within the Immortal Palace; second, Zhou Yuncheng ambushed me while I was fighting this monk."

Liusu Su nodded. "Then I won't offer my opinion on this matter of discussing the Dao. However, I did wake up at a very opportune time."

"How so?"

The little figure on his shoulder straightened up. "This is an Immortal Blessed Land heavenly materials and earthly treasures. You really only want a Heavenly Fragrance Fruit?"

"Uh... isn't it wrong to steal things from the Asgard Palace?"

"How could I possibly associate with such an honest man?" Liusu Su was furious. "Can't you just cut a sapling and take it back to plant? Even if artificial cultivation doesn't have the same effect as heavenly materials and earthly treasures, and it's a lower grade, it's still effective! Besides, the reason they don't take some things isn't necessarily because they're keeping them, but because they don't recognize their value!"

"So you found out?"

"Of course I know." Liusu pointed to the ground beneath the rock where the Heavenly Fragrance Fruit grew, directly opposite the fruit tree, where the strange snake had once coiled up. "If you dig in, there will definitely be a clump of green soil inside that is different from the surrounding soil. Dig it out and take it with you."

Qin Yi followed the instructions and dug into the soil. After digging less than a foot deep, he indeed saw a bluish-green mud clump that was different in color from the surrounding soil. It didn't look special at first glance, and if he used his senses, he couldn't even detect any Spiritual Qi.

"This is..."

"The sap from the Heavenly Fragrance Fruit drips continuously, and when combined with the venomous snake saliva, it accumulates and evolves over many years in this celestial soil, forming the Azure Earth. This soil can be used for refining artifacts, and it can also be used to create potent poisons. The toxicity directly destroys the body's vital energy, making it almost incurable. If refined well, even a cultivator of the Radiant Sun realm might not be able to withstand it. It can also be used in conjunction with the Heavenly Fragrance Fruit to refine pills, using poison to fight poison and resolve some very special conditions." Liusu said proudly, "No one who usually picks the Heavenly Fragrance Fruit knows that there is such a thing underneath. I discovered it by accident back then."

Qin Yi then flattered him, saying, "Bangbang is the best."

"Of course," Liusu Su said, puffing out her chest. "Take me around; we might discover something."

"Some areas are dangerous, so you can't wander around aimlessly."

"Didn't you have a map? Come on, come on, I want to see this Immortal Blessed Land, maybe it has what I'm looking for..."

Qin Yi subconsciously reached out to rub the little figure's head on his shoulder, but rubbed it and hit nothing. So he picked up the Wolf Tooth Club and flicked it twice. "Okay. But if you go in with the club, it'll be hard to explain if someone sees you."

"Hmph." Liusu didn't insist and quickly shrank into the Wolf Tooth Club.

Just as Qin Yi and Liusu were explaining the situation, Zhou Yuncheng and Ci Ming were both summoned to a grand hall.

The two fell to the ground, and when they looked up, they saw Heavenly Mystery Child and Zheng Yunyi standing in front of them, looking at them.

"You lost to this?" Zheng Yunyi asked incredulously, "You two ganged up on Qin Yi, and even launched a sneak attack, how did you manage to lose to the point where you had to crush the jade to save your life?"

Zhou Yuncheng remained silent, his face flushed. Despite his high level of cultivation, facing Qin Yi at full power, he didn't feel superior to Qin Yi in cultivation at all. Instead, he felt like a child being molded, the difference in their abilities was too great, and he really didn't know how to put it.

Ci Ming stood up, his expression solemn. "This Qin Yi is not the martial arts practitioner you originally claimed to be, but an extremely powerful Martial Cultivation. All his Daoist Arts are merely to assist in martial arts combat; even his arts of music, chess, Zither, Chess, Calligraphy, Painting are only for comprehension. Your judgment is completely off-target!"

Zheng Yunyi said, "After saying all this, are you implying that you are no match for Qin Yi either?"

Ci Ming did not answer.

Zheng Yunyi glanced at his master, Heavenly Mystery Child, who remained expressionless.

In fact, both of them were somewhat shocked.

Fighting opponents of a higher level is not unusual to them. Some people's cultivation is superficial, like some in the Great Joy Temple who break through by simply Yin-Yang Harvesting spiritual energy. Their cultivation is shallow and chaotic; it's just that their realm sounds good, but their actual combat power is very weak. It's perfectly normal for them to be defeated by people of a higher level.

But Ci Ming wasn't like that. His cultivation was very stable, and it was extremely difficult to defeat Ci Ming even if you were above his level. Judging from the looks of it, there was probably no one else in the Ci Ming's that could do it. Not only was he defeated by Qin Yi, but he was also beaten to the point of needing to save his life by adding Zhou Yuncheng to the mix... And Zhou Yuncheng was basically just scratching the surface in this situation, not even having any effect on restricting Qin Yi.

No matter what the plan, the premise is to know yourself and your enemy.

They knew so little about Qin Yi that they found it absurd; how could they possibly win this game?

The question is, where did Qin Yi come from? His bone age is indeed only seventeen. Did he start training from the womb?
