Chapter 105: Today's Competition! Recording the Scripture of Clarity and Tranquility
Although he meant to say something, Lin Xuan did not deliberately seek out Zhang Lingyu, but instead went to look for Fang Dongtian.
The old man had woken up quite early and was eating breakfast; he beckoned when he saw Lin Xuan.
"Come over, sit down and eat together."
At Lin Xuan's level, eating was actually no longer that necessary.
Or rather, the energy contained within food was negligible to him.
However, his habits had not yet changed.
The four of them sat down, and soon someone brought over breakfast.
"Why did you all come over together?"
Fang Dongtian looked at Feng Shayan with a chuckle.
"Senior, I..."
Feng Shayan began, but the words reached her lips and she didn't know how to say them.
Should she say she suspected the purple Qi from last night was caused by Lin Xuan, and so she came to ask?
"Alright, if you don't know how to say it, then don't."
Fang Dongtian was an old fox; seeing Feng Shayan's expression, he waved his hand.
"And you two, this attire?"
Then the old man looked at Er She.
"Benefactor's clothes!"
Xiao Qing said.
But saying it like that was prone to misunderstanding, and it was hard to guess if Xiao Qing had done it on purpose.
Fang Dongtian nodded upon hearing this.
It was unknown if he had overthought it, but in any case, his expression did not change.
"Speaking of which, the events of last night."
Fang Dongtian could not help himself.
"Here!"
Lin Xuan raised his hand to show the Bead Bracelet on his wrist.
"It was caused by this thing; it should be a Golden Treasure refined by some senior expert, perhaps even an object of the Dao Ancestor. Of course, this is just a guess."
Dao Ancestor?
Fang Dongtian was stunned, and then his expression became serious.
Seeing Fang Dongtian's expression, Lin Xuan took it off and handed it to him.
Fang Dongtian took it with both hands and examined it carefully.
Before, when the Dao Rhyme was abundant, this bead string looked as if it had just come off an assembly line.
Now that the Dao Rhyme was exhausted, it actually looked quite ancient and simple.
Under the natural light, each bead shone with a luster like jewelry or glaze.
Yet this thing was made of wood.
"Not sure?"
After examining it for a good while, Fang Dongtian looked up at Lin Xuan, who was eating, and asked.
"Not sure, but thinking about this is meaningless, because due to its own power, you might not even get an accurate date if you used technology to test it. Anyway, it's in my hands now, so I'll use it if it works well."
"Anyway, it's in my hands now, so I'll just use it if it works well."
Fang Dongtian actually wanted to say that if it really were a personal item of the Dao Ancestor or that ancestor of the Dao Sect lineage, the symbolic significance would be different.
But upon second thought, he didn't say anything more and handed the item back to Lin Xuan.
"Since it's a good thing, keep it safe."
"Don't worry about that; in my hands, no one can snatch it away. Oh, right, there's also this."
Lin Xuan took out the Golden Plate and handed it over.
Fang Dongtian had already seen this thing before; now, seeing Lin Xuan take it out again, he was momentarily stunned and took it.
He looked at it for only a glance and was full of surprise.
It was clearly a very abstract pattern before, so why had it changed now?
"These two things are the cause of last night's situation. This Golden Plate recorded a mental cultivation method, the Scripture of Clarity and Tranquility. Oh, it's not the one passed down in our Dao Sect, it's a different piece, a mental method for entering tranquility."
As Fang Dongtian looked at it, Lin Xuan explained casually.
"This scripture is for nourishing the primordial spirit, but it has requirements for cultivation. Once cultivation is successful, it is possible to let one's spirit wander three thousand miles away in a single thought."
Fang Dongtian's eyelids twitched upon hearing this.
He knew that Lin Xuan rarely exaggerated when he spoke.
"Spirit wandering three thousand miles?"
Feng Shayan and Er She both looked up at the same time.
"Isn't that the Land Immortal realm?"
Feng Shayan murmured.
"Even now, people call me a Land Immortal, but I still can't let my spirit wander three thousand miles."
Lin Xuan shook his head upon hearing this.
"Keep this thing safe for now. If anyone in Baiyun Guan reaches a sufficient level in the future, they can try to cultivate it; in any case, it certainly won't be bad."
Fang Dongtian nodded with a solemn expression upon hearing this.
Fang Dongtian nodded with a solemn expression upon hearing this.
Yet in his heart, he was thinking that Lin Xuan's luck had once again exerted its power.
This Golden Plate was something he had picked up after falling off his bike, and it turned out to contain such a mental cultivation technique.
"Keep it safe for now; once we return to Baiyun Guan, have Huang Ming record it, but keep the original safe yourself."
Fang Dongtian thought for a moment and said.
"Alright!"
Lin Xuan nodded in agreement, then took it and tucked it into his sleeve.
"By the way, Senior Brother Liu and Huang Ming are competing today, right?"
"Only Huang Ming; Liu Xingyang is not participating. But Xiao Xuan, they are your fellow disciples after all, you should show some concern!"
Fang Dongtian explained upon hearing this, then said with some helplessness.
"If Senior Brother Liu isn't participating, then Huang Ming probably won't get very far."
"Senior Brother, can't you say something nice? Or perhaps give me some trump card? I can't lose face for our Baiyun Guan!"
Huang Ming's somewhat aggrieved voice came over.
Lin Xuan turned his head and saw Liu Xingyang and Huang Ming arriving together.
"Grandmaster!"
The two bowed in unison.
"You're overthinking it; what face could you possibly lose?"
Lin Xuan shook his head slightly, and Huang Ming's face stiffened, his expression turning bitter.
"But if I don't win a single match, Master will probably punish me when I get back."
Huang Ming looked worried.
"Why would he punish you?"
Fang Dongtian looked at Huang Ming upon hearing this.
"My Grandmaster, surely you know Master's personality."
"I know, but with Xiao Xuan here, our face won't be lost. Cast aside those thoughts of yours and just compete with peace of mind."
Fang Dong said.
"Oh!"
Hearing Fang Dong, Huang Ming hurriedly nodded.
"However, there are indeed quite a few outstanding young people this time."
Fang Dongtian stroked his beard and glanced at Lin Xuan.
But we are not envious.
"Just compete with peace of mind; at worst, you'll just have to cultivate diligently under Master's supervision when you return."
Lin Xuan spoke to persuade him.
It would have been fine if he hadn't persuaded him, but at this advice, Huang Ming's face turned green.
"Senior Brother, save me!"
"I won't!"
Lin Xuan shook his head.
Then Huang Ming looked like he was about to cry.
Being supervised by Master for cultivation—what kind of hellish life would that be?
What would be the point of living then?
"I recorded that; I'll play this part for Master to hear later!"
Liu Xingyang, who was to the side, suddenly pulled a phone from his sleeve and said to Huang Ming.
"Senior Brother Liu, are you afraid I won't die painfully enough?"
Huang Ming looked at Liu Xingyang with teary eyes.
Fang Dongtian shook his head helplessly.
"Alright, who are you facing this time?"
Watching Huang Ming act the fool, Lin Xuan interrupted and asked.
"Xiao Xiao, that person from the Lu family, the one on Senior Sister Lu Linglong's side."
Huang Ming said hurriedly.
"Oh, then you can't ask us for help; go ask Lu Linglong for mercy."
Lin Xuan waved his hand.
Upon hearing this, Huang Ming immediately shook his head.
"No, no, I won't do that."
"If you won't do that, then just compete properly!"
Lin Xuan said.
"Oh!"
Huang Ming nodded dejectedly upon hearing this.
"That's enough out of you; to have mastered the method of Exiting the Yang Spirit at such a young age is already very impressive."
Fang Dongtian looked at Huang Ming and waved his hand.
If not for Lin Xuan, Huang Ming's aptitude would already be considered outstanding within Baiyun Guan.
But everything is afraid of comparison.
Once compared, well, there is no comparison.
They are all my juniors, after all; it is quite good.
