This humble Taoist priest, Qianhe, begins his quest for immortality by slaying demons and monsters.

Chapter 6 The old man is in deep thought, and tall buildings rise from the ground.

Sutra Pavilion.

As one of the most important places in Maoshan, it was completely unguarded.

At least Zhong Bai was visibly unguarded.

The Sutra Repository has three floors. Standing in front of the door, looking at the large gilded characters, Zhong Bai felt a strange sense of peace.

"Elder Ming, Qian Yuan from the Enforcement Hall requests an audience!"

At this moment, before Zhong Bai could continue observing, Master Qian Yuan flicked his whisk and bowed in greeting.

With a creak, the tightly closed door of the Sutra Repository slowly opened, and an old voice rang out.

"Oh my, it's you, Qian Yuan! You haven't visited this old man in the Sutra Repository for three years."

"You wouldn't come here without a reason. Tell me, what brings you here?"

Upon hearing this, Zhong Bai was shocked. It was only two sentences, but it felt like a heavy hammer blow to his heart.

Zhong Bai seemed to understand why the important library was left unguarded.

"Elder Ming, you are joking. Qian Yuan is not that kind of person. The world has been very unstable these past few years. Qian Yuan has been busy with the affairs of the Law Enforcement Hall, which is why he has not been able to visit Elder Ming."

but……

"Qian Yuan has come today because he has something to ask Elder Ming."

After saying that, Master Qian Yuan turned his gaze to Zhong Bai.

"Elder Ming, to be honest, his name is Zhong Bai, and he was Qian Yuan's disciple a year ago."

So, Zhong Bai has mastered the Body Tempering Technique to a minor level, which is why Qian Yuan brought him to the Scripture Pavilion to choose a major cultivation method.

Similarly, I came to see you, Elder Ming.

"Hey, Qian Yuan, it's only been a few years, and you've become quite the smooth talker. But..."

"It's not easy for you, Qian Yuan, to accept a disciple. Let him in."

"Zhong Bai, why don't you thank your Grandmaster Ming?"

Master Qian Yuan blinked, and Zhong Bai instantly understood.

Plop.

"Disciple Zhong Bai kowtows in gratitude to Grandmaster Ming!"

Seeing that Zhong Bai had grasped the Dao, Master Qian Yuan was also very satisfied, even though the Daoist sect didn't have so many troublesome matters.

However, those who are adept at navigating social situations often thrive in their careers.

"Hehe, you little rascal, come in!"

Before Zhong Bai could react, a powerful gravitational force pulled him into the Sutra Repository.

Upon entering the Sutra Repository, Zhong Bai had just come to his senses when he realized that what he saw in front of him was a completely different world from what he had seen outside.

From the outside, the library, though not small, is only a few dozen meters long and wide.

However, once inside, as far as Zhong Bai could see, there was a long stretch of scriptures that stretched for hundreds of meters.

Well, Zhong Bai has certainly learned a lot.

Da da da……

As a series of knocking sounds came from behind him, Zhong Bai turned around and saw a long-haired old man with cloudy eyes staring at him without moving.

Zhong Bai nearly exploded with anger, but quickly calmed down.

"You little rascal, what kind of cultivation method did your master Qian Yuan recommend to you?"

Tell me, and my grandmaster uncle will help you find it. Otherwise, you'll have to search bit by bit, and you still won't find it even after days and nights."

amount……

Upon hearing that familiar voice, the case was solved; it was his great-uncle, the master of the underworld.

"Grandmaster Uncle, the cultivation technique recommended by my master is the Divine Firmament Five Thunder Technique!"

"This disciple is indeed difficult to find; I can only trouble you, Grandmaster Uncle."

He bowed his head when he needed to, and Zhong Bai's smile was as gentle as the wind, carrying a unique youthful charm that made Ming Wanqian's heart tremble slightly.

Every year, young people enter, but the years never return.

Before he knew it, Ming Wanqian had lost count of how long he had been the chief of the Scripture Pavilion.

Was it sixty years? One hundred and twenty? Or perhaps longer? Ha, who remembers? He certainly doesn't. Perhaps he'll find out when his lifespan ends…

With a sigh, Ming Wanqian quickly found the Divine Firmament Five Thunder Technique for Zhong Bai.

However, when she saw Zhong Bai's burning gaze fixed on the Divine Firmament Five Thunder Technique, she clearly sensed that something was wrong.

"What's so great about that little rascal?"

After cultivating the Divine Firmament Five Thunder Technique, one cannot switch to other cultivation methods before reaching the Nascent Soul Dao Lord level.

The speed is faster in the early stages, but after reaching the Foundation Establishment stage, each breakthrough to a higher realm is like a life-or-death struggle.

Could it be that Qian Yuan doesn't have...?

hiss!
Upon considering this possibility, a glint of light flashed in Ming Wanqian's originally cloudy eyes.

Hmm, case solved. It's probably because that old bastard Qian Yuan wanted to train a Foundation Establishment disciple within twenty years, so he kept it from this little rascal.

"Sigh...it's hard to say. I guess Qian Yuan can't do anything about it."

Shaking his head, Ming Wanqian did not choose to tell Zhong Bai the specific situation. However, the pitiful look in his eyes made Zhong Bai feel as if he were being pricked by needles.

"Ahem, you little rascal, the Divine Firmament Five Thunder Technique you wanted, tsk tsk, I must say, you know how to choose."

Looking back a thousand years, the Shenxiao Sect was renowned far and wide. With the Purple Thunder Divine Technique cultivated by the Shenxiao Five Thunder Technique, it can be said that all demons and evil spirits in the world were terrified.

Even those guys from Longhu Mountain who specialize in using explosives have to give them some leeway...

"Yes, Grandmaster Uncle has high hopes for you!"

As he spoke, he handed the Divine Firmament Five Thunder Technique to Zhong Bai and patted Zhong Bai on the shoulder to encourage him.

This left Zhong Bai somewhat bewildered, and he felt that something was amiss...

"Uh, thank you for your encouragement, Grandmaster Uncle. I will strive to make the Purple Heaven Divine Lightning reappear in the world!"

Zhong Bai responded with platitudes.

This time, Ming Wanqian couldn't help but roll her eyes.

He mentally ranted, "This little rascal is such a braggart. Qian Yuan is such a reliable guy, how did he end up with such a smooth-talking brat?"

Clearly, Ming Wanqian didn't believe a single word of Zhong Bai's casual remarks.

Who can blame them when the most recent Daoist master in the world to cultivate the Purple Heaven Divine Thunder is from Maoshan?
Hmm, what a coincidence, he's the chief elder of the Enforcement Hall from eight hundred years ago.

Zhong Bai didn't really think he could succeed. What kind of talent did he have? Purple Heaven Divine Thunder? But he couldn't lose face, especially when it came to words!

With their own agendas, the two got what they wanted and Zhong Bai quickly left the Sutra Pavilion.

When the doors of the Sutra Repository reopened, Zhong Bai strode out excitedly, arriving with high spirits and leaving with joy, taking flight with delight.

Ming Wanqian, who followed slowly out from behind, stood at the entrance without leaving the area of ​​the Scripture Pavilion, his deep gaze fixed on the waiting Qian Yuan.

As if sensing something, the moment his gaze met Ming Wanqian's, he understood his master's meaning, but could only awkwardly lower his head...

"Master, I've got it!"

In a flash, Zhong Bai arrived before his master, Master Qian Yuan, and demonstrated the ancient cultivation technique in his hand before awaiting his master's instructions.

"Okay, it's good that I got it..."

Once the cultivation technique is taken out of the library, you only have three months to comprehend and memorize it. Even if it's just a copy, you still have to return it to the library.

So, you'll have to study hard for the next three months.

"Master, rest assured, your disciple understands!"

"Very well, then bid farewell to your Uncle Master Ming."

"I will respectfully obey Master's decree!"
"Grandmaster Ming, this disciple takes his leave. May you enjoy boundless blessings and peace!"

After their parting, Master Qian Yuan left without saying a word, taking Zhong Bai with him.

Ming Wanqian did not choose to interfere, and returned to the Scripture Pavilion after nodding.

......................................................

In the small courtyard.

At this moment, Master Qian Yuan was extremely conflicted. He didn't know if everything he had done was right, but...

He did not intend to deceive Zhong Bai or force Zhong Bai to cultivate the Divine Firmament Five Thunder Technique.

Choosing the Divine Firmament Five Thunder Technique is just another option; he will let Zhong Bai make the decision himself!
Hmm, I look forward to your monthly tickets, rewards, comments, corrections, and continued reading support!
