A Bountiful Harvest

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

The next morning, Qin Yi went to the Immortal Palace Inner Hall, feeling refreshed, to prepare for the establishment of the Battle Hall.

His heart still fluttered with the memory of last night's romance.

They spent the entire night in the maple forest.

Before nightfall, they gently embraced and enjoyed the tranquility. Qin Yi himself felt that being in this environment cleansed his mind and free of evil thoughts. It was very comfortable to embrace and whisper sweet nothings.

But once night falls and the moon is high in the sky, the atmosphere changes.

In the stillness of the night, a gentle breeze stirred something within them, like springtime bringing forth tender shoots of grass breaking through the soil, causing a gentle ripple in their hearts.

Neither of them knew when they kissed, nor who initiated it; it was simply a natural reaction when their emotions ran high.

As they kissed, they slowly collapsed onto the grass behind the rocks, surrounded by lush maple forests and sheltered by rocks, creating a self-deceiving little space.

The atmosphere became even more intense.

A gentle breeze blew, and the clouds obscured the moon, making the mountains even darker until nothing could be seen. Qing Cha sat there with her knees drawn up to her chest, listening to the strange noises behind her. All her previous desire to paint had vanished.

They're all liars. All that talk about painting landscapes and creating a warm and peaceful atmosphere, it all ended up as a fight.

However, it seems this fight wasn't completely over... Qing Cha vaguely heard her master's voice saying, "No, don't..."

Then my uncle's voice said, "I'll just rub against you..."

The master said, "I've read this in some miscellaneous books; don't try to fool me."

My uncle said, "I'll tear those stinky books up when I get back."

Master chuckled, and then the atmosphere seemed to dissipate a bit. Before, Qing Cha could even feel that the rocks behind were pink, but now it had faded.

I wonder if my uncle regretted saying "rub against me." If he hadn't said it, a tender and affectionate remark might have worked. But his words ruined the atmosphere. Does he regret it now?

Ju Yunxiu, hiding behind the rock, secretly glanced at it. Actually, this time it wasn't that she truly refused; in the heat of the moment, she had even considered it herself... but knowing Qing Cha was there... If Qing Cha were there, fine, but besides, they were sitting under the open sky... it just felt... well...

She wrapped her arms around Qin Yi's neck, pulled him down a bit, and whispered in his ear, "If you want it so badly, how about I have Qing Cha keep you company?"

These words, though spoken in a whisper, were actually deliberately exaggerated.

Before Qin Yi could say anything, he heard Qing Cha fall with a "thud" from behind the rock. He didn't know what she had tripped over, but soon he saw her running away with a bump on her head.

Although Qing Cha was driven away by the "trick," the atmosphere did indeed dissipate. Ju Yunxiu pushed Qin Yi away, straightened her clothes, loosely tied her sash, and whispered, "Stop always thinking about good things... Is this all you're with me for?"

Qin Yi was almost driven mad by this pretentious intellectual. This time, they were clearly deeply in love, and you should know for yourself that when you were kissing me, it was much more intense than when I was kissing you, so how did it become my fault again...?

Seeing Qin Yi looking speechless, Ju Yunxiu chuckled, snuggled closer to him, and said softly, "Alright, how about... this?"

Her slender hand quietly reached down, and Qin Yi hissed and leaned against the rock, motionless.

The clouds drifted away gently, and the moon shyly peeked out, revealing half of its face as if it were peeking.

There are also benefits afterwards.

Having almost gone into battle before, she naturally knew everything. To "compensate" for her unfinished mission, Qin Yi confiscated her undergarment and hid it in his ring.

Ju Yunxiu blushed and said nothing, but in her heart she felt it was just right.

You have a demoness's handkerchief and Fairy's Daoist Scarf; can they compare to a bellyband?

We've at least won here; we've crushed them!

The joy here was naturally something he couldn't share with outsiders. Even after entering the Immortal Palace Inner Hall, Qin Yi still greeted everyone he met with a beaming smile, regardless of whether he knew them or not.

Then Yin Yizhong grabbed him. "What are you laughing at here for? So many people have asked me if that Inspector Qin is mentally ill."

"Hey, Brother Yin, what are you doing here?"

"You tricked me!" Yin Yizhong stamped his foot and said, "You recommended me to manage some damn Outer Sect subordinate department, with endless miscellaneous tasks!"

"Oh, this is perfect for Brother Yin! You're a free spirit, enjoy socializing over drinks, and have a great rapport with people..."

"I have no interest in traveling around!"

"How can one truly understand the True Intention of wine without tasting all the finest wines in the world?"

"Hmm..." Yin Yizhong scrutinized him for a while. "That makes sense. Although there's a lot of inferior wine out there, it's good to see more... Maybe it'll be my chance to soar to the clouds? Speaking of which, you seem quite knowledgeable. Back then, you didn't choose my Wine Sect but went to Qinqi Peak instead. Are you sure it was because of our shared beliefs, and not because of a beautiful woman?"

Qin Yi finally admitted, "Yes."

The doors to the surrounding "offices" opened, and a jumble of clutter was thrown at him. "Go to hell, you bastard!"

Qin Yi fled in panic, not even bothering to retaliate, with Yin Yizhong's footprints still visible on his backside.

"Virtuous Nephew, come this way."

Turning his head, he saw that it was Hall Master Yan from the Enforcement Hall beckoning to him. "The Palace Master instructed that I be the one to get things started for you."

"Then thank you Hall Master Yan." Qin Yi breathed a sigh of relief. With the help of the elders in the inner hall, this matter would be much easier to handle.

Hall Master Yan led him to an empty hall.

The Celestial Palace originally had many vacant halls, some of which occupied a considerable area, including the surrounding corridors and pavilions, forming a self-contained area that could easily be described as an independent courtyard. He was currently in such an independent hall complex, with a plaza in front of it, resembling a martial arts training ground.

"This was deliberately made for you, as it is more suitable for the Battle Hall," said Hall Master Yan. "From now on, the Battle Hall may become a very important hall in the Immortal Palace, and its importance may increase day by day. Virtuous Nephew, you will have to put in more effort."

This is politically sensitive; we can glean something from the Palace Master's attitude.

You can also see inner palace staff moving things, including pills, utensils, and Law Treasure Cultivation Method and techniques, which are placed in different storage areas behind the palace.

Qin Yi noticed many items resembling those from the Great Joy Temple and asked, "Are these all spoils of war?"

"That's right. The Internal Affairs Hall has broken it down. Items suitable for general use by the Immortal Palace are kept in the public treasury. Some items that are incompatible with the Immortal Palace, such as the Martial Cultivation... According to the Palace Master, these have all been thrown into the War Hall. The War Hall may need them... Especially for you, my Virtuous Nephew, you bring your own martial arts from outside, some of which may be very suitable for you."

Qin Yi followed the people carrying things around to the back hall, went into the warehouse and looked around. Just these things that were deemed incompatible with the Immortal Palace were almost enough to establish their own sect... He didn't know how much benefit the Immortal Palace had obtained from the Great Joy Temple this time, probably far beyond his imagination.

Robbery is indeed the fastest way to make money.

As he watched, Qin Yi's eyes suddenly widened.

Under the category of Cultivation Method, there are many Cultivation Method from the Great Joy Temple, such as the Giant Transformation Art and Staff Technique used by Ci Hui, the? Technique used by Ci Ming, and a complete set of Martial Cultivation systems. Most of them are inclined towards hard-style blunt weapon combat techniques, which do indeed have some similarities with Qin Yi.

The most fitting detail is that it contains a complete copy of the "Great Joy Paradise Sutra".

This is not the foundation of cultivation at the Great Joy Temple; it is not "Dharma," as "Dharma" has already been collected by the Celestial Palace's public treasury. This is "Art," the Yin-Yang Yin-Yang Harvesting technique and various mental and spiritual arts such as illusionary mind control and charm that they rely on for rapid advancement. Although it is an art, many things at the Great Joy Temple revolve around it; it is practically their core Method Formula.

The Ten Thousand Dao Immortal Palace truly lives up to its "Evil Dao" reputation. Instead of considering this item too sinister and destroying it, they didn't sell or trade it. Instead, they regarded it as "beneficial in battle" and directly threw it into the Battle Hall. It's as if they're saying that using these things isn't shameful for the Ten Thousand Dao Immortal Palace ...maybe they even have rubbings, which they gave to the Prostitution Sect ...

Regardless of whether there is a rubbing or not, this thing is actually somewhat useful to Qin Yi.

Qin Yi had previously smuggled out a smattering of the material, which was an introductory text bestowed upon the Outer Sect by the Great Joy Temple. This copy, however, is the complete version...

Yin-Yang Harvesting the other person for personal enrichment is an act that harms the other person to nourish oneself, which is unacceptable. But perhaps one can learn from it and comprehend a normal and legitimate way of dual cultivation? No, no, what I'm interested in this Cultivation Method is definitely not that. It's the various spiritual and esoteric techniques within that are worth studying. Hmm, that's it.
