Seeking the Tao in the Mortal World

Ju Yunxiu glared at Qin Yi.

Qin Yi looked at her inexplicably. "Why are you staring at me?"

"The crane has a foul mouth, so stop with your wishful thoughts."

"... If you don't tell me, I won't think about it. Now that you told me, I start to have wrong thoughts."

Ju Yunxiu said angrily, "I knew you are thinking wrong! What are you thinking about?"

Qin Yi asked with a question mark face, "Are you fishing me?"

Ju Yunxiu glared at Qin Yi, and Qin Yi glared back. They stared at each other for a while, then Ju Yunxiu waved her sleeves and said, "I'm going to bed. Come back tomorrow."

"Hey wait!" Qin Yi called to her. "What is the Grain Rain Tao Conference? Is it an internal competition?"

"It's an exchange between sects. As a comprehensive sect with all the taos, it's the right thing to compete to see whose tao is stronger. It's not just a competition. There are also different match modes. Anyway, you can think of it as a competition." Ju Yunxiu said nonchalantly, "Actually, this competition has failed several times..."

"Huh?" Qin Yi, who was thinking about competing in the ring to win prizes, was confused. "How can this fail?"

"Because most people in Myriad Tao Immortal Palace have no interest in participating in this kind of ridiculous competition. We might as well go to sleep, drink or doing things we are interested in. Everyone is not interested in the competition at all. ”

"Pff…"

"Later, the Palace Master came up with several kinds of treasures as rewards, so some people were forced to participate. Even so, it still failed to be held several times. For example, my sect never participated, which missed out a large system. The Palace Master couldn't force me, because my sect had no one. Wouldn't they be embarrassed to bully Qing Cha?"

Qin Yi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He was used to watching other sects' martial arts competitions in full swing. He never thought that this Myriad Tao Immortal Palace would be like this.

"So don't participate. It's boring." Ju Yunxiu yawned. "You have offended others, and you will be tricked if you participate in this. You’re an elegant cultivator. There is no need to get involved in this."

After that, she went back to sleep.

Qin Yi felt interested as he watched her leave.

She initially 'recruited', probably with the intention of asking me to participate in such events. She had also said something similar before. 'If you are competing with others, you can't just use brute force.' Her meaning is clear.

But after getting acquainted with me, she doesn't want me to participate and disturbs our moments of playing music and appreciating calligraphy and painting.

'Elegant'... Qin Yi really didn't think he was an elegant cultivator, but he really didn't have much willingness to participate. Now that Liu Su was in a slumber, he was very weak by himself, so he might as well sleep.

…

For the next period of time, Qin Yi still came here every day to learn various special effects music, including entrancing.

In addition to learning music, he also started to learn the combat application of calligraphy and painting.

"If you want to use the sword in the painting to unleash the sword energy, your idea is right, but you can't paint it like this." Ju Yunxiu sat next to him and held his arm to support. "The brushwork here should hide the edge, otherwise the edge will be fully visible and the painting will be self-defeating. Not to mention damaging the painting scroll itself, the sword energy is also gone." ṛᴀ𐌽Ȏ𝐛Εŝ

The woman sat next to him and held his hand, and the fragrance lingered in his nose.

The charming tutor in my his mind gradually came true. Qin Yi himself didn't know how to realize this dream... He just seemed to ask 'how do I paint this edge', then it naturally became like this...

After actually realizing this scene, he was not as distracted as he originally imagined. Ju Yunxiu obviously had no other intentions, and Qin Yi acted very natural too. He was just learning to paint. Why thought too much?

Qing Cha sat on one side hugging her knees and resting her chin on her knees.

And you said all men are pigs? Aren’t you happy to be next to a pig now?

"Besides, it doesn't mean much to you to use paintings to unleash the sword energy. The painting is connected with oneself. Neither you nor I are sword cultivator. We can't show the true sword energy and will only make people laugh." Ju Yunxiu pondered before saying, "You are better off painting the mace... but I'm also confused. That kind of heroic spirit really doesn't suit you who are elegant and aloof..."

Qin Yi was a little embarrassed. Sword hiddens in the painting. When it is unfolded, the room is full of cold light, and the sword energy is overwhelming. If it's a mace...

In addition, Senior Ju seems to have some misunderstanding about me. Smacking with a mace is the best for you. The feeling of impact and pleasure are incomparable to others! What are the use of elegant and aloof?

But when he thought about it, he felt that painting soul didn't mean much to him. It was equivalent to making a few more enchanted weapons to carry with him or making a few talismans, which had the same effect. He could only use painting to do so little unfortunately. The most useful part of painting was to realize the world in the painting, but he couldn't do it at his current level.

When he was thinking about his next stroke, the immortal crane came again.

"Ugh..." Seeing the two of them sitting next to each other and holding hands, the immortal crane's eyes widened. "Did I come at the wrong time again..."

Ju Yunxiu stood up naturally and dusted off her skirt. "What are you doing here again?"

"I'm here to inform you about the prizes for this year's conference." The immortal crane said, "Palace Master said there are a heavenly hammer, a mountain dice, a black tortoise shell, and a painting. The winner can choose one of them."

This time, Ju Yunxiu was interested. "What painting?"

"It is said that your master once painted it. The painting contains great power and has become a noble weapon..."

Hearing that it was a relic of her master, Ju Yunxiu lost interest immediately. She frowned and waved. "Okay, got it."

Immortal Crane didn't seem to expect Ju Yunxiu to react like this, so it looked at Qin Yi with a little expectancy.

Qin Yi spread his hands and expressed little interest.

The immortal crane sighed helplessly. "Palace Master said that if you don't participate, you have to let the newbies participate. Otherwise, other sects will eventually complain, which will affect the relationship between sects."

Ju Yunxiu said lightly, "It's really strange. I hadn't had a single disciple in the past years, and I didn't complain anything. Why do they raise so much trouble after just one session without recruiting anyone?"

The immortal crane smiled and said, "If everyone behaves the same, there won't be disputes in this world? The word has been transmitted, I will leave first."

Watching the immortal crane go away, Qin Yi's uninterested look disappeared. He touched his chin and asked Ju Yunxiu, "Is the painting reward provided by the Palace Master one of the painting set?"

Ju Yunxiu sighed. "Yes. In his later years, he only painted four paintings except for the Cloud Nine Sword Pavilion woman portrait you brought from the ancient tomb. One was given to the Palace Master, one was lost to a bet against the Zheng Family of the planning way, one was given to a mortal friend in Qian Kingdom, and one was buried with himself. The one given to the mortal friend should be nothing special. The other paintings may have coherent secrets, so he deliberately separated them.”

Qin Yi was silent for a moment and sighed, "Then this conference... I want to participate."

Ju Yunxiu frowned and said, "I said that this secret is not something you should explore, and you are not someone who is greedy for any treasure."

"I know." Qin Yi unconsciously sensed the mace in the ring, and Liu Su was still in a slumber.

He looked at it silently for a while, then he said in a low voice, "I have a very important friend... Even though he is stubborn and won't tell me anything, I know that he needs this secret very much."
