CHAPTER 495: CHAPTER 293: ACCUSTOMED TO WITNESSING THE SUN AND MOON CROSSING THE SKY (PART 2)

No wonder the Ancestor Masters of the Immortal Road consistently advocate for expeditions, more passionate than the young people.

Qin Ming’s restless heart calmed down; he still had time.

"Brother Qin." The young Helian Mingxu approached, greeting him proactively.

"Sorry about last time on the moon." He spoke softly, now unexpectedly sensible, offering an apology and inviting Qin Ming for a discussion in the quiet room.

The side hall, part of a high-end lounge, surprisingly had silver Fire Springs flowing, with bright yet gentle light and Spiritual Material emanating, aiding cultivation.

Qin Ming sighed inwardly, the Great Yu Imperial Family’s foundation was extraordinary, this was clearly a Miracle Spring.

Helian Mingxu said, "Brother Qin, I admire you. In the ups and downs of life, after being abandoned by the Cui Family, not only did you survive tenaciously, but after losing your memory, you even managed to rise on your own."

Qin Ming was surprised, had this brat turned over a new leaf?

"It’s okay; there are many more with a tumultuous life and a twist of fate. Just look at the celebrities in history, I am nothing special."

Qin Ming said, beginning to appreciate the reliefs on the wall of the side hall, depicting the splendid achievements of the Great Yu Ancestor.

This founding monarch had slain a Sixth Realm Demon Ancestor, subdued powerful races deep within the Yewu World, and even made gods bow their heads.

Qin Ming watched with great interest, wondering if the deity entering the Imperial Palace in one of the reliefs was the River God of Shuyu River? Could she have been the Ancestor’s concubine?

"When one is strong enough, gods can be made to bow!" he sighed lightly.

Helian Mingxu, with implied meaning, said, "But he ultimately died violently, being too rigid leads to breaking."

Then he smiled fully and said, "Drink some tea, it’s a specialty from the Second Forbidden Land of Kunleng."

On his first day in Kunleng, Qin Ming had seen this tea being auctioned, considered priceless because it could only be picked at the edge of the Forbidden Land once every three years.

He put down the teacup and said, "Not as good as the Enlightenment Tea on the trial path in the Secret Realm of the Third Highland."

Helian Mingxu said, "It’s late, Brother Qin, have some snacks. By the way, this medicinal porridge is quite good too, a new product launched by the Taixu Pill Mansion."

"What’s the effect?" Qin Ming asked cooperatively.

Helian Mingxu said, "It can nourish the yang energy, strengthen the internal organs, drink a bowl daily, practice for one year, and it can equal thirteen months of others’ practice. It seems only an extra month each year, but it accumulates to be considerable when every aspect accumulates similarly."

Qin Ming nodded and said, "Indeed extraordinary, very meticulous, how much for a bowl?"

Helian Mingxu informed, "Ninety days of gold per bowl."

Qin Ming sighed, "A family of three in Da Yu Imperial City can live for six years."

Helian Mingxu smiled faintly, "Brother Ming also lived in the Cui Family for over ten years, ate well, rode in four-colored carriages pulled by mutant beasts, why care about this?"

"Barely had enough to eat as a child." Qin Ming said very honestly, there’s no need to avoid the past, "Growing up, the splendor was like a dream, later even faced hunger, wandering between life and death; hearing you say this, I feel this porridge bowl is very heavy."

Helian Mingxu smiled and said, "Brother Qin, you should speak according to your standing; look, being able to sit here means we’re not ordinary people, why concern ourselves, porridge is ultimately porridge. My family’s Little Jin is fed Spirit Beast Meat daily, costing far more than these."

Qin Ming quietly watched him act.

"Brother Qin, how do you find this quiet room? Is it particularly easy to enter a meditative state, with Calming Incense here. In the past, Kunleng had an Immortal Tree, but unfortunately, as the Divine Land collapsed, it sank into the Abyss. This is the fifth-generation Immortal Tree cultivated from its branches, using its fallen leaves as the main ingredient to make incense; burn one stick daily, and the Consciousness Spiritual Light accumulates twenty percent faster in a year."

Qin Ming thought about the Incense Mist Tea the white-robed woman had invited him to drink in the Fourth Forbidden Land Temple, one main ingredient of which was the True Immortal Tree’s resin.

However, he didn’t bother to say anything, quietly watching the youth.

Helian Mingxu said, "Sister Qing Yue is very nice, she’s not a mortal Fairy, I am only a few years younger, otherwise I’d have to compete with my uncle Helian ZhaoYu. Sister Qing Yue is a gem, the more polished, the brighter. I think she will surpass those who entered the Outer World at three or four years old; those early wise ones may not have enduring potential. Just because they are at a higher realm now, I believe Sister Qing Yue can go further, possibly surpassing immortality to become an ancestor."

At this moment, an elder walked in, wrinkles at the eyelids, but his hair was still black, and the sound of blood flow in his body, if sensed carefully, was like a long river rushing, deafening.

Qin Ming’s heart jolted, could this be a Great Grandmaster?

The youth acted all superior in front of him, disdainfully, yet now such a significant figure appeared? It didn’t seem reasonable.

"I just happened to pass by, didn’t come specifically for you." the elder said.

At the same time, another figure appeared in the quiet room, the Sun Elf Clan’s Great Grandmaster Qiong Hui sat next to Qin Ming.

The elder looked at the foreign Grandmaster, "I am Helian Yunji, specifically here to visit Brother Tao."

Qin Ming’s heart shook, it indeed was that Great Grandmaster from the Immortal Control Sect, Helian ZhaoYu’s real grandfather.

Qiong Hui nodded slightly, seemingly understanding his intention, "Let’s not mention the Immortal Contract."

Helian Yunji smiled at him, then looked at Qin Ming, "Here, let me say a few words to you as well. Even the best talents need support. In this Yewu World, they say a hundred schools of thought contend, but without resources, lacking support, you are bound to walk many winding roads, even being overtaken by those with lesser talent."

Qin Ming’s face remained unchanged, looking at this Great Grandmaster.

He pondered, without Qiong Hui here, might Helian Yunji have easily wiped him out with a slap?

Helian Mingxu spoke again, "Brother Qin, you can’t give Sister Qing Yue these; you’re searching for resources everywhere, seeking Immortal Tao Spiritual Material, while others sit quietly, meditating on the Enlightenment Stage, listening to Ancestor Masters teach them directly, who progresses faster?"

"Saying these to me is meaningless." Qin Ming responded calmly.

Great Grandmaster Helian Yunji said, "This world is fair, choose correctly, and the whole world is kind to you; choose wrong, and you’re against the world. Hmm, I have this Eight Jing Divine Illumination Scripture, young friend, do you want it?"

Then he took out a book.

"There’s not a word in it, where is the Eight Jing Divine Illumination Scripture?" Qin Ming asked.

Helian Yunji flicked his finger, and the blank book turned to dust.

He said blandly, "Having seen the sun and moon hanging high, how can one bear to be like the mole crickets burrowed in the soil, humble and living lowly? Any random one is an Immortal Scripture, sustaining a clan’s foundation, and a single medicine can break realms, one meal equals ten days of practice for an average genius. Young friend, some things will change, and you can’t grasp them."

He then stood up, inviting Qiong Hui to go for a talk in the secret chamber.

...

"Woo..." The horn shattered the night fog spreading across the sky, and it seemed like the entire world was brightening with expanding waves of the Immortal Tao.

More than half a month had passed since the night banquet in the Imperial Garden, and recently the Immortal Road army had been continuously assembling, preparing for an expedition.

An Exotic Bird with wings like a Phoenix, but entirely golden, traversed the night sky, landing at the residence of the Sun Elves in Chongxiao City.

"Qin Ming, the Legendary Sacred Evil you wanted has arrived; please fulfill your promise." Great Grandmaster Qiong Hui personally transmitted the message.
