Dwelling Amid the Cloudy Peaks

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

Ye Bieqing's soul power was very strong, almost comparable to all of Liusu's own soul power. This absorption caused the ghost face to expand into a sphere; the face was gone, leaving only a ball...

Then it attached itself to the Wolf Tooth Club, slowly disappeared, and fell silent.

Going to sleep again...

Qin Yi scratched his head, looked at Ju Yunxiu, and wondered how to explain the funny face to her.

Ju Yunxiu didn't ask any questions, because she was already exhausted and could no longer hold on, and she completely fainted.

Qin Yi rushed forward and caught her in his arms before she fell to the ground, carrying her as they broke through the barrier.

Looking at the labyrinthine passageways of the tomb, Qin Yi shook his head. If he wasn't mistaken, there were still some things inside. For example, Ye Bieqing's remains, and the Law Treasure he frequently used in life, should be buried in the Main Tomb Chamber, heavily guarded. If Ye Bieqing had successfully achieved the Qian Yuan realm, those things might still be useful, and they wouldn't be easily stolen.

At this point, he would have no leisure or inclination to explore the tomb again; if he were to, it would be for later.

He immediately carried Ju Yunxiu away from the place, and once again took out the handkerchief that he thought he would not need, and sat down with Ju Yunxiu in his arms.

Then she turned and looked around. "Qing Cha, where is everyone?"

A small Qing Cha leaf peeked out from behind a tree.

Qin Yi grinned. "Little brat, you want to test me? Don't worry, I won't forget you."

Qing Cha muttered a couple of times and climbed onto the handkerchief to sit down, "How did you know I was hiding and testing you?"

"With your level of intelligence..." Qin Yi didn't say anything more, activated the handkerchief, and flew away.

Qing Cha took on the responsibility of caring for her master, accepting the medicine bottle Qin Yi handed her and feeding it to Ju Yunxiu. Qin Yi glanced at her sideways, thinking to himself, "If it weren't for you being such a third wheel..."

However, this light bulb was important and necessary for guiding the way...

After feeding Ju Yunxiu the medicine, Qing Cha turned to Qin Yi and bowed, saying, "Thank you, Uncle-Master."

That silly salute...

Qin Yi didn't know what to say, so he simply replied with a simple, honest "Thank you for the Qing Cha."

The two smiled at each other, and Qing Cha blushed slightly. She lowered her head and pretended to take care of her master, but in reality, she just brushed aside a strand of hair and straightened her collar. She didn't actually take care of anything.

But he just never looked up.

She knew her master too well. He had only wanted to pursue romance, lacking only a catalyst to unleash his emotions, and now this had arrived! Once this was over, dao companion ...

So even someone as naive as Qing Cha would test Qin Yi like this, to see if he would forget about poor Qing Cha while only caring about his dear senior Senior Sister...

Ju Yunxiu had a dream.

Cultivators who have refined their spirit and stabilized their souls rarely dream. They only dream when they are weak, experiencing qi deviation, severely injured, or under the influence of magic.

This time, it was caused by extreme weakness.

She dreamt of her childhood, sitting barefoot under a tree drawing. Her master smiled and descended from the clouds, asking her, "Little one, you have a great talent. Would you like to learn to draw with me?"

At that time, the master painted a phoenix spreading its wings and flying away, seemingly both real and illusory.

Then came his youth, now the Phoenix Emerging. His master pointed a finger at his spiritual platform to transmit the Dharma, but when he withdrew, he took away a trace of his Daoist nature.

At the time, I was naive and didn't think it was a big deal; it was like plucking a hair.

The scene quickly transformed into a world of paintings. "The Sword Pavilion Maiden Painting, this is martial arts; the Yunxiu Painting, this is the Dao. I have extracted a wisp of your spirituality..."

The once handsome and otherworldly master's face suddenly turned ferocious.

He didn't just change his mind at the last minute; he'd always had this thought.

It was just that the time hadn't come yet; it was merely a subconscious preparation. Perhaps at the time, he even thought he was taking good care of his apprentice.

When faced with the Great Dao, unable to break free from his lifelong obsession, he unleashed all his thoughts without hesitation or looking back.

Ju Yunxiu felt like crying; she had essentially... killed her master.

But no tears came out.

She no longer knew what path she was seeking, whose lineage she was inheriting, whose music and painting she was promoting, or what she herself was seeking.

What I'm seeking... It seems like many things are flashing by in my dream, but I can't see them clearly at first because I'm already captivated by the most eye-catching one.

That was Qin Yi's happy smile after he used himself as bait to lure his master out.

Then everything else faded into silence, leaving only Qin Yi's genuine and Mingliang smile.

Whatever she seeks, what she seeks right now is a soulmate who understands her, who is willing to give her secrets or even her life for dao companion.

I could feel the warmth of his embrace before I fainted.

It's as warm as where I am now.

Ju Yunxiu opened her eyes.

I'm in my own bed right now, which feels very comfortable.

She subconsciously turned her head to look for Qin Yi.

The first thing I saw was Qing Cha's round face, filled with surprise. "Master, you're awake!"

Ju Yunxiu felt a little disappointed and was about to ask where Qin Yi was when she heard footsteps behind Qing Cha. Qin Yi ran over and said, "You're awake? Let me see if I should give you another pill..."

Qing Cha was too close; her large face blocked the view of the blue robe. Ju Yunxiu instinctively reached out and pressed Qing Cha's face aside, finally seeing Qin Yi. She was overjoyed.

Qing Cha: "..."

Qin Yi's smile twitched slightly. He sat down next to Ju Yunxiu, took her hand, and asked softly, "How are you feeling? I gave you a Soul Protecting pill, so I didn't expect you to wake up so quickly."

"You... are you making pills for me?"

Qin Yi didn't know how to answer that question. Those pills were readily available. Although he could refine them himself.

"Aren't they refining pills?" Ju Yunxiu pouted slightly. "Then what are they doing?"

"We're studying that painting. The art world is in complete chaos. His... his wandering spirit is drifting aimlessly. The sky is gloomy, and the place is like a ghost prison."

Ju Yunxiu had no intention of hearing the contents of the painting at all; her reaction was. "You... you also want that Great Dao...?"

Qin Yi said speechlessly, "What are you thinking? I've only just reached the Cloud Ascension stage. What kind of Dao do you think I'd prove with that? Besides, my foundation isn't the Painting Dao. You, on the other hand, would have a very good chance with that."

"I..." Ju Yunxiu paused, then shook her head and said, "I have lost my way."

Qin Yi paused, about to say something, Ju Yunxiu reached out and stroked his face, softly saying, "Is that all you wanted to tell me?"

"You're the one asking me these questions..." Qin Yi didn't say this aloud. He was no longer the genius who could kill a conversation. Now, he knew exactly how to answer as soon as he thought of it, "I was just happy to see you awake, so I talked a bit more."

"Then I won't say anything," Ju Yunxiu said.
