The Most Beautiful Scenery

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

Qin Yi was just making it up casually; there was no real moonlight, it was only dusk. Under the slanting rays of the setting sun, Qin Yi Ju Yunxiu strolled side by side in the mountains, with Qing Cha following behind, sniffling and looking quite aggrieved.

My uncle invited me to come play, but he took my spot and made me squat in the pot...

My uncle is so kind; he let me come along...

But following along isn't fun either. What's so interesting about watching you two walk around without talking?

It wasn't as fun as watching kissing back then.

However, Ju Yunxiu found it quite amusing. She looked around with a hint of curiosity. She could clearly guess Qin Yi's little scheme, but she found it hard to resist the temptation.

Despite having lived in the Ten Thousand Dao Immortal Palace for a thousand years, she has never actually visited the peaks of the Medicine, Divination, Schemes, Calculations Sect. At most, she has only visited the Main Peak to discuss some matters.

Now, I chose a place I had never been before. Walking in, I saw withered branches and fallen leaves, looking desolate and indescribable. The stone path was covered with fallen leaves, and the rustling sound was even more desolate at night. It could easily touch the melancholy of poets. Ju Yunxiu also felt a little down.

You can walk up the stone path and turn out of the mountainside, and suddenly your eyes will be filled with light. What a beautiful maple forest! The red maples are like fire, reflecting the sunset. The red clouds on Heavenly Being and the sky merge into one, creating a magnificent sight.

The mood shifted dramatically from low spirits to a sudden, overwhelming surge of emotion.

Ju Yunxiu had Cloud Wandering to other places before and seen many similar autumn foliage scenes, but centuries had passed, and he had gradually forgotten them. Seeing them again so suddenly still stirred his heart and left him momentarily lost in thought.

The scenery of this sacred mountain is far more unique than that of ordinary Mortal World. The frosted leaves are like flames, flickering gently, with dancing halos above them, connecting with the clouds on the horizon, forming a unified whole. It is mysterious and wondrous, filled with a subtle Spiritual Qi that soothes the soul. Qin Yi had never seen such a sight in his entire life.

He couldn't help but ask, "Whose mountain was this originally? They really picked a great spot."

Ju Yunxiu glanced at him. "Zheng Yunyi's."

Qin Yi: "..."

It has to be said that that cunning fellow knows how to enjoy life. If he weren't always so cunning, and instead learned some music Zither, Chess, Calligraphy, Painting, he might not be such a refined and elegant Young Master in this corrupt world.

Thinking about this, he still felt that Zheng Yunyi and Heavenly Mystery Child had different purposes. The painting he always carried with him always gave Qin Yi special hints, and he felt that he was not after the Scheming Sect's thinking of "breaking through after planning".

He looked up into the depths of the clouds. Zheng Yunyi had been carried away hastily, leaving his belongings behind in the cave abode. Should he break down the door to check...? The Celestial Palace hadn't stopped them from returning to retrieve their things, and he'd most likely come back anyway. Wouldn't it be incredibly shameful and tasteless to be caught breaking down and stealing his things...?

But the more I thought about it, the more it itched to do it. I wouldn't steal it, but I could at least take a look... I'll find some time to go and take a look...

Just as he was pondering this, he saw Ju Yunxiu sitting on a rock, looking up at the red maple leaves and the evening glow, and taking out a scroll to start painting.

A true female intellectual.

Qin Yi then sat beside her and watched her wield her brush.

This magical paintbrush doesn't need any ink or paint, yet it brings color to every stroke. All the coloring steps are achieved directly with a single brush, instantly bringing the painting to life.

"This is Law Treasure." Ju Yunxiu explained as he painted, "You've only come into contact with this path to make connections, not to truly learn the Painting Dao. Forget about these things; they're not suitable for you, and you wouldn't be able to use them much."

Qin Yi said, "I didn't mean to ask you for these things..."

"I feel like I haven't given you enough," Ju Yunxiu said softly. "I always feel like other people's masters bestow Law Treasure upon them, but I don't have anything suitable for you to use."

Qing Cha stood to the side with her hands on her hips, thinking to herself, "Didn't you already give everyone away?"

Coincidentally, Qin Yi was thinking the same thing, but he couldn't say it out loud, so he said, "You're not my master, you're just my Senior Sister."

Ju Yunxiu smiled slightly.

She was called his Senior Sister, but in reality, she was his master—everyone understood. What she taught was no less than what Qin Yi's unknown, secret master had imparted; one taught the principles, the other the skills—neither was superior. But that didn't matter anymore. His the Return of the Condor Heroes had already made her feelings clear: he would accept even a master, let alone Senior Sister ...

The title of "Senior Sister" only made her feel more at ease.

She truly no longer cared. Whether it was her master or her Senior Sister, as long as she got over it in her heart, nothing else mattered.

No matter how terrible the rumors passed down through the ages may be.

Actually, since the legend of The Return of the Condor Heroes came first, there's nothing wrong with it.

What's truly infuriating is that this little thief is greedy, always wanting more than he has.

It seems like everyone else got there first; they're the ones in the bowl, and I'm the one in the pot...

I'm even angrier!

As she pondered, Ju Yunxiu pouted again, and her drawing became three times more forceful.

Qin Yi hunched his shoulders, watching her ever-changing expressions. The beautiful sunset maple leaf painting had been transformed into a murderous aura.

Once this painting is finished, will it turn into an offensive magical Law Treasure...?

Qin Yi remained silent. The situation wasn't suitable for further discussion. In truth, he felt that the scene of Ju Yunxiu quietly painting in the maple forest was even more beautiful than the Maple Forest Evening Glow itself. It was as if an extra touch of ethereal beauty had been added to the world, illuminating the entire place.

He turned to Qing Cha and extended his hand, Qing Cha, understanding the gesture, took out a scroll and a paintbrush and handed them to him.

Qin Yi rubbed Qing Cha's head, thinking, "What a sensible tea leaf."

He also unrolled his scroll and painted the same maple scenery as Ju Yunxiu.

Ju Yunxiu looked up at him and smiled again.

The slight annoyance in my heart gradually subsided.

Isn't what I love most about the moments when we paint and write calligraphy together in harmony? It's so peaceful and beautiful.

They are dao companion, and also practitioners of the Dao.

Qin Yi was unaware that since he joined the sect, Ju Yunxiu's cultivation, which had stagnated for decades, had also made breakthroughs.

Of course, not all Huiyang cultivators are of equal cultivation level. Heavenly Mystery Child, at the Shining Sun Peak and half-step Qianyuan, crushed everyone else. He could easily take on three people at once, since Ju Yunxiu, Mo Wuzi, and the others were only at the first few levels of Huiyang.

Ju Yunxiu was originally only at the third level of the Huiyang realm. After Qin Yi came, despite the possibility that emotional turmoil might hinder her cultivation, on the contrary, during the time she and Qin Yi got to know each other, she silently broke through to the fourth level.

It was also a case of being missing a "partner," and then achieving completeness once that was filled.

A "partner" isn't something you can just find anywhere; you might never find one in this lifetime. The fact that Qin Yi caught her eye was fate, a perfect ending.

The Shining Sun Realm no longer has such a clear three-tiered system; instead, each tier is a hurdle, and breaking through each tier is extremely difficult. Ju Yunxiu claims to have cultivated for a thousand years, she is actually only a junior among the sect leaders, yet her cultivation is no less than theirs.

She made the final stroke, and the maple leaves gradually took shape in the painting, with red clouds swirling around, overflowing the canvas, and then slowly returning to tranquility.

Turning to see how Qin Yi's painting was going, Ju Yunxiu's face suddenly flushed red as her gaze fell on Qin Yi's painting, as red as the maple forest around her.

The maple forest in Qin Yi's painting includes her.

Ju Yunxiu painted "Maple Forest Evening Glow", and Qin Yi painted "Ju Yunxiu's Painting of Maple Forest Evening Glow".

She paints landscapes, and she is also part of the landscape in Qin Yi's paintings.

"You, you..." Ju Yunxiu bit her lower lip, "I already told you, your drawing skills are terrible, you're not allowed to draw me!"

"I'm just painting a landscape." Qin Yi put down his brush, looked up and smiled, "This Ten Thousand Dao Immortal Palace is the most beautiful scenery among the continuous mountains."

The two stared at each other silently. Slowly, Ju Yunxiu turned her head away, unable to bear the burning gaze.

Qin Yi slowly embraced her, Ju Yunxiu gently leaned against him. The evening breeze blew by, and a strand of her hair brushed against Qin Yi's face. Qin Yi gently brushed it away, and then brushed away the stray hairs on her face.

They didn't do anything else, just held each other like that.

Ju Yunxiu sighed softly. This little thief knew how to behave properly, always managing to make people feel like they were bathed in a spring breeze, thus bringing peace. What trace of lingering embarrassment could remain under this gentle embrace? It vanished without a trace.

The afterglow of the setting sun shone through the maple forest, casting slightly disheveled shadows of the two figures embracing in the shade, yet the scene was warm, gentle, and cozy. As Qing Cha watched, she suddenly felt an urge to paint, to capture this warmth and tranquility.

Those two people were also part of the scenery in her painting.
