Don’t forget who’s the meat on the chopping block—hand over your storage bag, and I might let you live!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The elder at the peak of Nascent Soul boasted loudly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing sighed helplessly and urged again, “Leave now—better to end this here.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet the five continued pressing forward, ready to strike and rob at any moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Xiao’s eyes suddenly darted, and he turned straight toward Li Niang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sly grin spread across his face as he chuckled, “Li Niang, recognize me? I’m your brother-in-law.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing, hearing Yan Xiao’s absurd words, gasped in shock and quickly signaled with his eyes, asking what he was doing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Niang furrowed her brows, her eyes filled with confusion and bewilderment, as if struggling to recall the identity of this “brother-in-law,” yet ultimately failing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, she timidly whispered, “I… I recognize my brother-in-law.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this, Zhou Qing immediately covered his forehead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Xiao beamed with excitement, feeling this was thrilling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Third Senior Brother, stop fooling around!” Zhou Qing whispered urgently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Xiao shrugged it off, replying in a whisper, “We can’t be the ones cleaning up this mess—it’s Li Niang’s fault. Leave it to her.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, turning back to Li Niang, he said, “Your husband and I are too busy to act—you deal with them.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, he pointed with his finger toward the group advancing toward them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Niang, upon hearing this, shook her head frantically, instinctively shielding her swollen belly with both hands, her voice trembling with tears: “I can’t fight them.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Xiao shook his head, encouraging her: “Have confidence—you’re the best, you know?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Niang hesitated, then turned her pleading gaze toward Zhou Qing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing’s expression was awkward, yet he admitted to himself: with Li Niang’s peak Nascent Soul cultivation, crushing four Foundation Establishment cultivators would be effortless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she was pregnant—and these men, he could handle himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Forget it, I’ll—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Kill them!” Before Zhou Qing could finish, the other side had already lost patience.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The lead elder, at the peak of Nascent Soul, struck first—his magic treasure blazed with light and slashed down instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other three didn’t hold back, launching their attacks simultaneously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t hurt my husband!” Li Niang’s timid gaze turned icy at once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a sharp cry, she raised her hand—and dozens of spiritual energy blades erupted from her palm, slapping forward like a thunderclap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The four felt a tidal wave of force crash into them; they spat blood violently and were hurled backward, smashing through dozens of massive trees before finally stopping.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were dazed and disoriented, minds blank, utterly unable to comprehend what had just happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Nascent… Nascent Soul!” The lead elder, after a brief dizziness, suddenly realized—his face flooded with terror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Oh my god, pretending to be weak!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You’re a Nascent Soul expert—what the hell are you messing with us lowlifes for?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Run!” The elder didn’t hesitate—he spun and fled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other three shook their heads, confused, but seeing their Sect Master flee, they instinctively sprinted after him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They vanished from sight in moments.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Niang stared at her right hand, as if unable to believe it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was only Jin Dan—how could she have defeated Foundation Establishment cultivators?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right—her husband had returned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly, she remembered something, whirling around eagerly—but the next second, her eyes flickered with confusion; the joy in them faded, replaced by clarity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Xiao clapped excitedly: “Li Niang, I told you you could do it—I’m genuinely proud of you—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before he finished, Zhou Qing, sensing something wrong, clamped a hand over his mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Niang, as if waking from a sudden nightmare, looked terrified.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m… I’m sorry—I… I mistook you for someone else.” Her body trembled slightly, her voice barely audible, just as before—she turned and ran.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing her, Zhou Qing sighed. Yan Xiao turned pale.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Niang’s appearance was merely a minor detour on Zhou Qing and Yan Xiao’s return journey.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the two returned safely to the academy, they found the entire campus—inner and outer courtyards alike—unusually quiet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After asking around, they learned everyone had gone to the Eastern Region of Lingyun Mansion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, those admitted to Baiyu Tai Xu Academy were all prodigies from the Four Regions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, news had spread of a Zhan Ling expert’s death in the Eastern Region—such a monumental opportunity before their eyes—who wouldn’t want their younger generation to go investigate? Perhaps they’d gain a great fortune.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the war between the Southwest Regions had mysteriously paused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This left the two stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Senior Brother Zhou, you’re back!” Lu Yaoyao rushed from the inner courtyard, her eyes sparkling with excitement—only after confirming Zhou Qing was unharmed did her heart finally calm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing looked at Lu Yaoyao and noticed that after half a year, her aura had grown even more profound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Daoxuan appeared beside them, smiling: “She’s about to break into mid-stage—but she’s been too worried about you two to close for cultivation. Even Lu Shi couldn’t persuade her.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yaoyao, hearing this, blushed and hurriedly said, “I’ll close—I’ll close tomorrow!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Xiao watched this, filled with envy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He realized he’d need to discipline himself soon—he must strive to advance further. If he couldn’t even match Lu Yaoyao, he’d be utterly humiliated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then Li Daoxuan pulled Zhou Qing and Yan Xiao aside, eager to ask about the Zhan Ling death in their homeland.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing could only recount the general events—but deliberately omitted his own involvement, portraying himself as a mere observer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two listened, utterly astonished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An actual Demon Emperor had fallen? The bordering demon clans would be in chaos!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Come here!” Just then, Zhou Qing heard a whisper in his ear—Er Daye’s voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing bid farewell to the others and hurried off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arriving at the cave dwelling, Er Daye poured him a cup of wine and gestured to a seat beside him, inviting him to sit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing waved it off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From now on, he would never drink again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Er Daye frowned, thinking perhaps Zhou Qing was still wary after the last time he got drunk and revealed his sixty-six spirit seals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he didn’t press—only nodded lightly and changed the subject: “So that feathered bird was really killed by Xuan Yuan Shuo?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing had no intention of hiding anything from Er Daye—especially since he still needed help with the blood curse in his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After gathering his thoughts, he recounted the full story.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Er Daye listened intently at first—but when he heard the Su Ni bone had been detonated, he winced in agony.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’d been planning to retrieve it himself, once properly prepared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a long silence, he sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What could he do? It was simply fate’s cruel joke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet seeing Zhou Qing unharmed, and so composed even in such perilous circumstances, he felt a surge of pride and relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then Zhou Qing took out Lao Feng’s memory stone and the Tai Yao Token and handed them to Er Daye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Er Daye activated it, studied it carefully, and fell into deep thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Eastern Region of Lingyun Mansion is truly extraordinary. I’ve joined many sects, studied their ancient texts—I suspect something monumental happened there long ago, but I can’t say what.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this, Er Daye was also deeply curious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing pondered silently: not long ago, the ancient Peng King had been a Zhan Ling peak expert—yet he’d been effortlessly erased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Afterward, the killer hadn’t even bothered with Peng King’s corpse—clearly, his power was terrifying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And this was only the tip of the iceberg; the hidden secrets unknown to all were surely countless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then Er Daye looked at Zhou Qing with clear admiration, returned the Tai Yao Token, and said, “Keep this. Since you earned it yourself, I won’t take it from you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, with grave expression, Er Daye examined the blood curse in Zhou Qing’s mind, frowning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Difficult. It’ll take time to find a way—but don’t panic. These curses usually have a time limit—within a few hundred years, they fade on their own.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you ever break through to Zhan Ling, you might even erase it yourself,” Er Daye reassured him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing: “...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“As for the old monkey, don’t worry. Remember that Immortal Drunk I gave you? I stole it from him,” Er Daye said, beaming with pride.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing recalled—Er Daye had once mentioned the old monkey of Tai Yao Mountain, but had cut the story short to drink.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“By the way, how far have you progressed with your Four Flowers at the Crown?” Er Daye suddenly leaned in, curious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing paused, then recounted in detail how he’d fused the Jin Wu and Su Ni blood, and how the four-colored flowers had reacted during the Corpse Spirit’s possession.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Er Daye stared, dumbfounded, his face filled with astonishment and envy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fascinating. If I could find a way to provoke the blood curse, make it threaten you—perhaps the four-colored flowers would activate and erase it themselves.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Er Daye stroked his chin, analyzing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing’s eyes lit up—this was indeed a good idea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We must plan carefully—no rushing. By the way, since you’re back, rest for a few days—I’ll take you somewhere after!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Er Daye clapped Zhou Qing on the shoulder, grinning mysteriously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing nodded—then suddenly remembered something and asked, “What about your array class…?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this, Er Daye straightened up instantly, beaming with pride: “Learning is mutual. Half a month ago, I posed several extremely tricky questions—and guess what? The Master had an epiphany and went into seclusion.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He paused, then continued, “I suspect he’ll now complete the Three Thousand Spirit Seals, becoming the third Level-Three Array Master in the Shengwu Empire—and possibly even break through to peak Nascent Soul!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hearing this, Zhou Qing was startled, but more so, he felt happy for Master.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, in the entire Level Four cultivation nation, there are currently only two Level Three Array Masters, and only nine Level Two Array Masters—far rarer than Qi Severing experts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the following days, Zhou Qing rested thoroughly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, the entire academy was eerily quiet, with all eight instructors nearly suspended from teaching.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under Lu Shi’s careful arrangements, Lu Yaoyao officially entered seclusion, fully striving to break through to Nascent Soul mid-stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Daoxuan already had a vague direction for the realm he wished to comprehend; each day, under his instructor’s guidance, he hurriedly ventured out to experience it firsthand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Xiaohu also felt urgency, putting aside his usual playfulness and focusing entirely on frantically absorbing spiritual energy from spirit stones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That night, Zhou Qing stared at the sixth blue light point rekindling on the token, wondering inwardly: could she succeed in retrieving that spirit herb?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, he suddenly looked up, his brows instantly furrowing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Simultaneously, Yan Xiaohu poked his head out from the side cave, muttering curses: “That guy’s back again!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two swiftly stepped out of the cave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure enough, the white-robed figure stood as usual, back turned, silently atop the distant treetop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s that thing? You gave it to me last time.” The white-robed man spoke first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing’s lips curled slightly into a faint smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Xiaohu blinked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wait, what does that mean?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When you say it to me, it’s sarcasm—but when you say it to Old Four, it becomes a serious question?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ask if you must, but why phrase it as an inverted sentence?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You’re nuts!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing spoke calmly: “Same as last time—apologize to my Third Senior Brother, and I’ll tell you what it is.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The white-robed man fell silent for a moment, then replied bluntly: “Sorry!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both froze, utterly unprepared for how readily he conceded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Remember, as a Soul Transformation expert, last time he was fiercely proud, refusing to yield even slightly, turning on his heel and leaving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a moment, Zhou Qing was at a loss, unsure how to respond.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Quickly, he cleared his throat, steadied his thoughts, and said: “This object cycles once a year—if not lifted in time, you’ll suffer misfortune for a long while. If you’d come any later, you’d be drowning in bad luck again.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, the white-robed man shuddered slightly, as if recalling something, his face lighting up with realization.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then urgently said: “Remove it—quickly!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing’s expression remained calm, his gaze fixed on the white-robed man as he spoke: “I can remove it—but I want to know why. You keep coming to us repeatedly; there must be a reason.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Xiaohu had long been seething with anger; now that Zhou Qing was pressing the issue, he stepped forward immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He demanded aggressively: “Yeah! Do we even know each other? The moment I arrived at the academy, you targeted me—got me arrested by the Enforcement Hall twice! This debt can’t just vanish!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the man now cornered by Old Four, Yan Xiaohu pressed harder: “Speak up! Why?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man fell silent for a long while before speaking again: “You’ve got sneaky, rat-like eyes—I can’t stand the look of you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What the hell!” Yan Xiaohu exploded at once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s called focused eyes! How’s that sneaky or rat-like?” Yan Xiaohu roared, rolling up his sleeves, ready to charge and teach the man a lesson.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as he took one step forward, he remembered he was no match for this opponent—so he forced down his rage and turned a pleading gaze toward Zhou Qing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing frowned slightly. “That’s it? Just because of how you look?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The white-robed man didn’t answer directly. Instead, he pulled out a memory stone from his storage pouch, flicked his wrist, and tossed it toward Zhou Qing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I know you won’t bend under force—can this exchange for the method to lift it? Like this.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing, puzzled, caught the memory stone—and his expression instantly hardened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For as soon as it activated, the scene showed Li Daoxuan being frantically chased by a tiger-like beast with four pairs of wings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Based on certain features of the beast, it had clearly reached Soul Transformation—truly a beast king.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Daoxuan was battered and desperate, sprinting through the forest, his body riddled with wounds, blood soaking his robes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Li Daoxuan was about to be devoured by the beast, a beam of spiritual energy suddenly erupted from the side, piercing straight through the beast king’s wings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The beast king let out a piercing shriek, its body losing control and plummeting from the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Daoxuan, shaken and drenched in blood, shouted into the surrounding woods: “Thank you for your help!” before fleeing hastily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After watching the memory stone, Zhou Qing was filled with complex emotions—what could he say?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the man had threatened Li Senior Brother’s life, Zhou Qing wouldn’t have cared—but since he’d saved his life, this debt of gratitude couldn’t be ignored.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank you,” Zhou Qing said, always clear on separating personal and official matters. He calmed himself, clasped his fists, and bowed to the white-robed man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he said nothing more, turning and walking into the cave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He reached the stone table, poured himself a cup of tea, picked up several talismans from beside him, lit them with fire, and gently sprinkled the ash into the cup.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After finishing, he lifted the cup and stepped out, channeling spiritual power to gently float it toward the white-robed man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Drink it to lift the curse—though if you don’t trust it...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Zhou Qing finished speaking, the white-robed man snatched the cup, tilted his head back, and drank it all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, with a few leaps, his figure vanished into the night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Could it really be Sikong Yan?” Zhou Qing murmured softly, watching the scene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned his head and saw Yan Xiaohu approaching pitifully: “Old Four, do I really look sneaky and rat-like?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing blinked, then replied sincerely: “Don’t listen to him. Sure, your eyes are small—but your spirit is strong. Sure, your face is round—but your heart is kind.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No matter what others think, in my eyes, you’re the best—forever my most respected Third Senior Brother!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Xiaohu: “...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Today’s posts are refreshing...】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【New post saved to the Wondrous Post Archive—please check promptly.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, the system’s alert chimed abruptly, startling Zhou Qing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Can comforting someone trigger this thing?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He quickly checked the Wondrous Post Archive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Sudden Enlightenment Post: Can be implanted into one’s body. Upon use, the spiritual platform clears, insight surges, cultivation efficiency increases a hundredfold—duration: three hours!】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the new post was the Sudden Enlightenment Post he’d longed for, Zhou Qing couldn’t help but cheer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wait—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing noticed the edge of the Wondrous Post Archive seemed off; flipping to the second page, he saw another 【Sudden Enlightenment Post】.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two this time?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sneaky bastard—planning a surprise for me?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, Zhou Qing grew excited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Remember, last time three hours of sudden enlightenment allowed him not only to perfect the Emperor’s Radiance Scripture but also to condense sixty-six spiritual seals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such duplicate posts should come more often.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What should he use it on?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Increase the number of spiritual seals?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Study Mingwen-level divine arts?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No—those can wait. Right now, the most important thing is comprehending the future realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Second Uncle’s careful guidance, plus these two Sudden Enlightenment Posts, perhaps he could finally grasp his own unique realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching Zhou Qing’s ecstatic expression, Yan Xiaohu suddenly felt heartbroken. Without a word, he turned and walked inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Realizing this, Zhou Qing quickly called out: “Third Senior Brother, don’t misunderstand—I really think you’re great! What are you doing? Put down the chicken!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next day, Second Uncle took Zhou Qing away from the academy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Yan Xiaohu, he remained in the cave, fully immersed in cultivation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is... Haomiao Prefecture!” Zhou Qing stared at the vast, boundless city before him and exclaimed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even now, he could see the distant central plaza, where the teleportation array glowed continuously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Second Uncle nodded. “Correct—Haomiao Prefecture. Back then, I was just walking through the crowd when suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck me—I had a direction and a preliminary form for a realm.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing nodded, curiosity flickering in his eyes. “So, Second Uncle, what realm did you comprehend?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Second Uncle chuckled, pulled out an old tobacco pipe, and lit it with practiced ease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under Zhou Qing’s expectant gaze, he took a deep drag—and blew the smoke straight into Zhou Qing’s face, choking him into a coughing fit, tears welling in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Not telling you!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Second Uncle deliberately teased, grinning smugly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We’ve traveled far—first, treat me to a meal. That restaurant over there looks good!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if oblivious to Zhou Qing’s exasperation, Second Uncle pointed toward a distant luxurious tavern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tavern was ornately carved, majestic, gleaming brilliantly under the sun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing could only sigh and nod, leading Second Uncle toward the tavern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, he needed the man’s help.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the private room, Zhou Qing ordered a full table of dishes—every delicacy stirred the appetite.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two feasted heartily; Second Uncle pulled out fermented liquor, but Zhou Qing refused to drink even a sip.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Second Uncle, unfazed, drank alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a full meal, Second Uncle leaned back in his chair, contentedly belched, then turned to Zhou Qing with a serious expression. “So—what exactly is a realm?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing sat up straight at once and said, “In simple terms, artistic conception is fusing the laws of heaven and earth with personal insights, achieving a concrete manifestation of the Dao heart, then integrating it into the Nascent Soul to transform it into a Primordial Spirit.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After listening, the Second Uncle nodded in satisfaction and praised, “Looks like you’ve done your homework these past few days—good, good. But it’s easy to say, hard to understand.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I humbly ask for your guidance,” Zhou Qing said at once, rising and bowing respectfully, his tone sincere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Second Uncle picked at his teeth, speaking slowly and calmly, “To comprehend artistic conception, there are stages. I’ve summed it up in nine characters: observe all things → comprehend true meaning → condense the Dao seed.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",3310,"2026-06-19T20:13:54.632Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","3648264a3dc3405d9970f7bd5c3c7794d8e7f67e050b77c35d7c018422640db3","my-master-s-elder-brother-just-took-on-a-female--chapter-208","my-master-s-elder-brother-just-took-on-a-female--chapter-206",302,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fmy-master-s-elder-brother-just-took-on-a-female--cover.jpg"]
