The Painting Nearing Completion

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

The Muscle Tendon Change Stage was no longer an obstacle for Qin Yi. Besides his own talent, the fragments of the "Gate" were of immense value.

Although there was no direct gift of energy, the natural "aesthetic" transformation of the muscles and bones was an almost supernatural effect, a perfect match for Martial Cultivation who emphasized physical training. Compared to his own training, it shortened the training time by more than two-thirds.

The Muscle Tendon Change Pill Changing Pill) provides the necessary nutrients and energy, while the Painting Realm Trials provide practical training. At the level of Yi Jin, there is nothing to consider, and one can smoothly cultivate to perfection.

The only thing to consider is how to break through the barrier from Yi Jin to Duan Gu. With the fragments in hand, it shouldn't be too difficult... Martial Cultivation don't have as many requirements for State of Mind or comprehension as Daoist practitioners. As long as there is a sufficient energy supply, they should be able to break through the Duan Gu barrier smoothly.

Just as he was about to discuss something with Liusu seemed to sense something and instantly hid behind the stick.

Soon, a familiar fragrance wafted through the air, Ju Yunxiu appeared before them.

Seeing that Qin Yi had clearly broken through to the Muscle Tendon Change Eighth Layer cultivation, Ju Yunxiu smiled and asked, "Did you hear the negotiations at the Great Joy Temple just now?"

"Huh? No, I was just inside the painting world." Qin Yi asked, "What was the result?"

"Although this matter has put Zheng Yunyi in the spotlight, with both Great Joy Temple and Ten Thousand Dao Immortal Palace believing that Zheng Yunyi is the protagonist, your presence in the incident cannot be completely erased. Heavenly Mystery Child will naturally try to drag you into this matter, so you still have to deal with it."

Qin Yi nodded and said, "This was expected. I am the real protagonist in this matter, and there is no way I can stay out of it."

Ju Yunxiu said, "It's settled now. Zheng Yunyi will fight a fourth-level Sky Soaring Realm expert, and you will fight an early-stage Sky Soaring Realm expert... or at least a third-level one. Are you confident you can handle this for a month?"

Qin Yi laughed and said, "It's not the third level. The people from the Demon Sect aren't that honest. They might break through on the spot and reach the fourth level, which is the mid-stage of the Cloud Ascension Realm. The one Zheng Yunyi is dealing with might even be at the fifth or sixth level."

Ju Yunxiu asked curiously, "Then why are you laughing?"

Qin Yi laughed and said, "What's done is done, so why not laugh? There's no point in worrying about how strong the opponent is. As long as I'm strong enough, so what if they're in the mid-stage of the Cloud Ascension Realm?"

Ju Yunxiu looked at his expression and smiled slightly, "So, are you capable of being strong?"

Qin Yi asked, "Does the Immortal Palace have Bone Forging Pill?"

"The Immortal Palace doesn't have Martial Cultivation, so we don't have this. However, whether we acquire this pill or gather the medicinal herbs to refine it ourselves, it's a very simple matter, so there's no need to worry," Ju Yunxiu said. "What I'm worried about is whether you can guarantee breaking through the barrier once you have the auxiliary medicine. This kind of major barrier isn't something that can be overcome simply by having medicine; otherwise, why would so many heroes have been stuck here?"

Qin Yi asked, "What if I can't?"

"If you can't..." Ju Yunxiu paused, then whispered, "You should hide."

Qin Yi looked quietly into her eyes, which were deep and slightly rippling.

He knew the consequences of defaulting on a debt, Ju Yunxiu to clean up this mess. It might even lead to the loss of that carefree life, forcing him to spend a long time fighting and running around to deal with the aftereffects.

This avoidance of war will also draw criticism from within the Immortal Palace, which he and Ju Yunxiu will both have to bear.

"Silly girl." He gently stroked her hair and whispered, "You're taking me in as your disciple to help you solve some problems that you can't handle yourself, not to cause you trouble."

Ju Yunxiu pouted and said, "Do you still consider me your sect leader?"

"Of course." Qin Yi lowered his head and gently pecked her red lips, smiling, "Wherever the Sect Master's sword points, Qin Yi will go."

The Liusu trembled like sieves inside the stick, and goosebumps turned into wisps of white mist as one stick fell off.

Fortunately, the two of them didn't continue their lovemaking. They were both relatively rational people who knew that important matters should be taken care of.

Ju Yunxiu then pushed against Qin Yi's chest and whispered, "If you need anything to help you, I'll get it for you, but I can't help you with your breakthrough; you'll have to rely on yourself."

Qin Yi said, "Senior Sister, there's something else you can help me with."

She picked up the painting depicting the mandrill trial and said, "As I level up, there aren't enough monkeys in this painting for me to fight anymore, and the trial's effectiveness has greatly decreased. Senior Sister, could you upgrade this painting?"

Ju Yunxiu examined the painting for a while, then reached out and said, "Bring me that Rivers and Mountains Painting from the Great Qian Dynasty."

Qin Yi took out the Rivers and Mountains Painting, Ju Yunxiu stacked the two paintings together and waved her hand.

A blinding light emanated from the scroll, causing Qin Yi to instinctively shield his eyes. Once his eyes adjusted, he saw the mandrill scroll slowly merging with the Rivers and Mountains Painting.

Qin Yi looked on in surprise. In the otherwise unified landscape painting, there was an additional feature: the yellow sand and red rocks where the mountain demon was located, situated in a corner of the landscape. Although it was clearly an extra addition, it seemed as if it had always been there, without any abruptness, just like the original painting.

"It can be like this..." Qin Yi clearly felt that this painting, which originally only had the effect of suppressing luck, now had a painting world space, and it was very likely that even the original mountain demon red rock space had expanded at the same time, turning into a huge landscape space. He could feel the Earth, Water, Fire, Wind in the space, as if it really was a brand new world, with heavy earth power and flowing water veins.

With the power of nature, certain conditions for casting spells and setting up formations can now be achieved within this area...

Correspondingly, the mountain demon, which was originally only equivalent to the early stage of the Cloud Ascension Realm, now has at least the power of the peak of the Cloud Ascension Realm.

Ju Yunxiu stared intently at the new painting, muttering to herself, "That portrait of me, and the first one of the white-clad woman you obtained, should also be able to blend in, giving the paintings a sense of life and spirit. However, it's still missing a crucial element..."

It was the last painting in her master's tomb, and that completed the set of paintings.

Qin Yi couldn't help but say, "With all these paintings gathered together, it might truly form its own little world. Is our master really just Huiyang? Then can you do it too?"

Ju Yunxiu shook her head. "Master has reached the Shining Sun Completion and has already glimpsed the Dao of Qian Yuan. I still have a long way to go."

Qin Yi felt that there was something wrong with this. How could such a powerful figure have passed away due to the Five Signs of Decay?

Perhaps it was just common sense, and no one found it too surprising, but Qin Yi, who had read many novels, always felt that such a powerful figure shouldn't exist...

I didn't feel anything while putting together the painting, but the closer I got to completing it, the more uneasy I felt. I guess that feeling of unease stemmed from that unease.

Perhaps Ju Yunxiu didn't want to participate in this painting from the beginning because of her intuitive and instinctive avoidance.

Ju Yunxiu was saying, "Since you are interested in this set of paintings, I will retrieve them for you as a reward when you return victorious. Once the set is complete, regardless of whether it holds any hidden secrets, it will at least be able to fuse into a Radiant Treasure with immense power."

Qin Yi wanted to say that no reward was as good as one made by Qin Yi himself, but he surprisingly wasn't in the mood for teasing. And he couldn't possibly say no to the painting just because of this inexplicable feeling, so he tacitly accepted the "reward" and instead asked, "What about Zheng Yunyi? Is he able to break through?"

Ju Yunxiu immediately lost her previous enthusiasm and said lazily, "Who cares? What does it matter to me whether he lives or dies?"

"I do think there's some connection," Qin Yi said seriously. "I feel that Zheng Yunyi's opposition to us seems somewhat detached from the sectarian conflict; it's more like he's acting for his own purposes."

Ju Yunxiu's pretty face flushed slightly. These words seemed to imply that Zheng Yunyi's target was her... which was quite possible, after all, the portrait of her youth was obtained from Zheng Yunyi ...

Zheng Yunyi always carried her portrait with him...

Ju Yunxiu bit her lower lip. "Who cares what their motives are! There are plenty of people with those kinds of thoughts, how can you possibly manage them all?"

Qin Yi laughed. It's truly impossible for such a peerless beauty not to have rivals. Just thinking about the murderous stares he received when he went to the Enforcement Hall... tsk tsk.

But is Zheng Yunyi a rival in love? Qin Yi felt something was off, but looking back on his interactions with Zheng Yunyi, it didn't seem like it.

His gaze returned to the painting... Could it be because of this...?

Does Zheng Yunyi know what's in this painting?
