A man in the Qin Dynasty changed the world by collecting entries.

Chapter 2 Don't mess with me!

"The reason why Wuming has come here is to fulfill the promise he made to the Taoists and to pass on the meditation method to them."

Wuming smiled at the group, took out a scroll of bamboo slips from his sleeve, and handed it to Chisongzi and the other man.

"It seems you've found a good apprentice!"

Chisongzi stroked his beard, looked at the child sitting next to Wuming, and nodded with a sigh.

"That's what I think too. Lu's personality is quite compatible with what I've learned. The moment I saw him, I knew he was my successor."

"So you're going back to Xiaoshengxianzhuang next?"

Chisongzi nodded slightly, then asked.

“That’s right. I’ve been away from Xiaoshengxianzhuang for several years now that I’ve found the person I’m looking for, so naturally I should go back.”

Wuming turned around, smiled, and glanced at the child sitting obediently beside him, then gave an affirmative answer.

“In that case, that’s perfect. My Taoist school also intends to send a disciple to the Confucian school for exchanges. Why don’t we go together then?”

"That's certainly possible. But which one of you intends to send with me?"

Wuming nodded and looked at the three people in the main hall.

Upon hearing this, Bai Yuan, who was in a daze, suddenly had a bad feeling. He looked up at Chi Songzi and saw him giving him a kind smile.

“My junior brother Bai Yuan is the perfect candidate.”

Sure enough, the next moment Chisongzi suddenly called out his name.

Bai Yuan instinctively wanted to refuse such a troublesome matter, but before he could speak, Xiaoyaozi, who was sitting next to Chisongzi, spoke for him.

“In my opinion, this is not appropriate. Junior Brother Bai Yuan is too impulsive. Sending him to the Confucian school would likely disturb the Confucian scholars who are focused on their studies. It would be better to send Qing Xuan instead. He is mature and steady, and I think he would be more suitable.”

As soon as Xiaoyaozi spoke, Bai Yuan immediately understood what was going on.

No wonder the leaders of the Heavenly and Human Sects gathered together. They probably had planned to send someone to the Confucian school for exchange and learning, but Wuming's arrival became the catalyst, and now they both want to compete for this spot.

Chisongzi wanted to send him, but Xiaoyaozi didn't want the spot to fall into the hands of Tianzong so easily, so he also fought for it for his disciple.

As expected, what followed turned into a debate between Chisongzi and Xiaoyaozi.

"Junior Brother Bai Yuan is naturally free-spirited and deeply understands the principles of Taoism. He will surely gain a lot from this trip, so it is most suitable for him to go!"

“No, no, Junior Brother Bai Yuan often causes trouble. Sending him there might offend the Confucian scholars and cause our Daoist school to become enemies.”

"That's just your prejudice. Junior Brother Bai Yuan can distinguish between what's important and what's not. On the contrary, your disciple Qingxuan has only been a disciple for a few years. Can he really have memorized my Taoist classics?"

Bai Yuan was exasperated watching the two old men arguing endlessly over a single spot.

There are still guests here, and the two of them really don't care about their image at all.

However, Wuming calmly drank tea and ate pastries, as if he was already used to this scene.

Bai Yuan sighed and quickly began to offer advice.

"Could you two senior brothers please hear me out?"

They were staring at each other.

The two of them turned their heads to look at Bai Yuan, then brushed off their sleeves, sat down, and nodded to him.

"I think it's better to give this opportunity to Junior Nephew Qingxuan, so I won't go!"

Despite Chisongzi's murderous glare, Bai Yuan reluctantly declined the opportunity to exchange ideas.

Just kidding. If nothing unexpected happens, Wuming will probably be assassinated by Luo Wang when he returns to Xiaoshengxianzhuang. Although the other party is no match for Wuming, he is willing to die, wanting to exchange one life for three.

If I were to get involved myself, wouldn't I be asking for trouble?

It's better to hide away on Mount Taiyi and cultivate oneself in peace. Let whoever wants to deal with these worldly matters go.

However, Xiaoyaozi heard his words differently.

"What a fine example of tranquility and non-action! What a fine example of advancing by retreating! On the surface, it appears to be about not competing or grabbing, but in reality, it highlights one's profound understanding of the Taoist sages' philosophy. If I were to agree now, wouldn't it make us appear competitive and deviate from the Taoist principles?"

Thinking of this, Xiaoyaozi's expression turned ugly.

"How can I accept such humility from my junior brother?" Xiaoyaozi glared at Bai Yuan with considerable displeasure, then sighed, "Very well, our Human Sect will also back down and let our junior brother go!"

Upon hearing that Xiaoyaozi had actually betrayed him at the last minute, Bai Yuan was dumbfounded. He had risked being punished by Chisongzi to speak up for the Human Sect.

No, stop messing with me!

"Alright, it's settled then. This time, we'll send Bai Yuan and the Master together to Little Sage Village!"

Chisongzi reacted quickly, and before Bai Yuan could object, he immediately made a decision.

At the same time, he secretly threatened Bai Yuan using the Heavenly Sound Transmission: "This matter concerns the grand plan of my Taoist sect, and you must not refuse!"

"Senior brother, why do you insist that I go?"

Bai Yuan was very puzzled by this. He even wondered if it was because he had caused too much trouble recently that Chi Songzi was preparing to send him away.

"It's all because you have a photographic memory. Sending you to the Confucian school this time was actually Master's idea, you know what I mean!"

Chishongzi secretly gave him a look of approval.

Bai Yuan instantly understood his meaning: he was being asked to steal, to openly and legitimately copy Confucian classics!

In this era, books are extremely valuable items. Moreover, this world is not a normal historical world. Many books written by ancient sages are unique. When they were compiled, they inscribed their profound understanding of the principles of heaven and earth into the books. If one can comprehend even a little of it, it may be possible to create a new cultivation method.

This unique artistic conception cannot be copied or reproduced, which is why it is one of a kind.

However, Bai Yuan possesses [Quantum Speed ​​Reading], which allows him to replicate this wondrous artistic conception. Chi Songzi knew of his ability a long time ago because he had been punished for it.

Copy Zhuangzi's "Free and Easy Wandering" ten times.

Then Bei Mingzi personally sealed away these ten volumes.

Now Bai Yuan really couldn't refuse, since it was Bei Mingzi's idea.

"In that case, alright!"

After the meeting ended, everyone had their own things to do and left in a hurry.

Bai Yuan returned to his hut and began packing his belongings. He grabbed a few clothes at random, then suddenly remembered something. He put down what he was doing and rushed to the peach tree.

Looking at the peach blossoms in front of me

Bai Yuan reached out and gently touched the tree trunk, sighing, "Tao Yao, I will be going down the mountain tomorrow, and this departure may last for a year or two."

Unaware of the situation, Tao Yao hurriedly stepped out of the tree upon hearing this: "Why are you suddenly going down the mountain?"

"There's nothing I can do; I can't disobey my master's orders. I know this is very sudden," Bai Yuan said with an apologetic expression.

"So, you came here specifically to say goodbye?"

"No, I've come to get my Peach Blossom Sword back!"

"Please get out of here gracefully!"

Although the process was a bit tiring, Bai Yuan eventually succeeded in persuading Tao Yao and getting the Peach Blossom Sword back.

This peach blossom sword was personally carved by him using the heartwood of the peach tree.

Although this sword is made of wood, it contains the thousand-year-old spiritual energy of Tao Yao. Coupled with Bai Yuan's own advantages, it should be comparable to some famous swords.

[Name]: Peach Blossom Sword

[Existing entries]: Thousand-year-old sacred tree (purple), dazzling beauty (purple), spring blossoms and autumn fruits (purple)

【Millennial Spirit Wood】: Made of peach wood imbued with millennia-old spiritual energy, it is exceptionally tough. Long-term wear can nourish the body and enhance potential.

【Bright and beautiful】: Rich in the essence of spring, it can make a certain area feel like spring all year round.

【Spring Blossoms and Autumn Fruits】: Want to eat peaches? With this, you can make the nearby trees grow peaches regardless of the season, guaranteeing you an endless supply of peaches!

Despite all these years of accumulation, he himself only possesses two purple attributes: [Quantum Speed ​​Reading] and [Sharp Eyes]. However, the Peach Blossom Sword has three. It can be said that Bai Yuan has given almost all his luck to this sword.

Previously, this sword had been kept by Tao Yao to nourish her body, which had been damaged by Bai Yuan. But now that he was about to descend the mountain, the journey would likely be fraught with danger, and he would need a suitable weapon for self-defense.

Chapter 3 How Much Truth Can a Rumor Be?

The next morning, the first thing Bai Yuan did upon opening his eyes was to check the new entries for the day.

[Short and Concise (White)]: You may be short, but you are powerful!

Upon seeing this description, his face darkened, and he immediately converted this useless entry into a fragment.

"Looks like today's entries are going against my wishes again!"

Despite these feelings, Bai Yuan quickly composed himself.

After washing up and eating something simple, he packed his things and prepared to go find the nameless man and his companion.

But as soon as he stepped out, he bumped into a Taoist disciple who had come looking for him.

"Junior Uncle, something terrible has happened! Elder Mu Xuzi of the Human Sect has learned that you are going to Little Sage Manor, and he is leading a group of Human Sect disciples there to protest!"

"what?"

Upon hearing this news, Bai Yuan gave a strange look.

"Elder Mu Xuzi said that Junior Uncle, you are ignorant and incompetent, and often do some absurd things. How can you represent the Taoists to visit the Confucian masters of Little Sage Village?"

The disciple's voice grew softer and softer as he spoke.

Although Bai Yuan's image in the eyes of his disciples was not very good, they only dared to say such things in private. Only elders and above from the Heavenly and Human Sects could ignore Bai Yuan's seniority and dare to criticize him openly.

However, the elders were usually mindful of their image and rarely said such things in front of their disciples.

But for Mu Xuzi to say such things about Bai Yuan in public, even in front of guests, is indeed going too far.

However, to the disciple's surprise, Bai Yuan remained calm after hearing these words, as if he hadn't been the one being scolded.

"Go and have a look."

Upon arriving at the gates of Taiyi Palace, one finds a large number of disciples from the Human Sect already gathered there, and Mu Xuzi is arguing vehemently with the leaders of the Heavenly and Human Sects.

Suddenly, someone exclaimed, "Bai Yuan is here!"

All eyes turned to Bai Yuan.

"Wow! I didn't expect so many people to come and see me off. You're too kind!"
