Chapter 668: Chapter 358: Pei Qingwu
“Please.” She signaled Qin Ming to drink tea.
In this state, could he drink the tea in the pocket-sized jade cup? Qin Ming was doubtful. When he saw her drink it down, he also raised his cup for a sip.
“Hmm?” He was immediately startled, feeling immensely comfortable.
Later, he tasted a little more, and surprisingly, a wisp of black mist rose from his body, dissipating instantly.
“You have encountered ghosts, old merchants, Night Abyss walkers… such beings.”
Qin Ming asked, “Did the tea I drank help me solve my troubles?”
Pei Qingwu said, “Originally, it was nothing. As your Taoist practice advances, the black mist will naturally disperse.”
“Did you come to meet me just to invite me for tea?” Qin Ming asked.
“Yes, to see how many cups you can drink, to assess if you will join us into Yujing in the future.” Pei Qingwu smiled, and instantly, her whole body glowed, her dark hair flowing like a waterfall, her entire face flawless and exquisite, possessing a charm that could overturn worlds.
Qin Ming looked at her, wondering if she was someone who wanted to explore Yujing?
But why would he join them?
Qin Ming asked, “Yujing, isn’t it outside this world, and, according to legend, everyone wants to escape from it. Why are you approaching it?”
“It’s too far to talk about those matters now. Please.” She signaled again to drink tea.
Qin Ming drank slowly, feeling incredibly at ease, as if being purified, with some benefits to himself.
He drank three cups in succession, feeling spirited, wanting more tea, only to find there was none left, so he said, “Another cup, please.”
Pei Qingwu said, “None left. You are the fourth person I’ve seen who can drink three cups of ‘Xinhou Tea’ with no changes, you have the talent of an Earth Immortal at least.”
After speaking, she returned to her body.
Her true form was in a black dress, shrouded in light mist, extremely elegant, her fingers softly plucking and twisting gently, the sound of the zither emerging with imagery, like a clear spring flowing over green stones. As night faded, vibrant life ripples spread across the jade zither, like radiant morning glow breaking through the sky, illuminating the Dark Night World.
Qin Ming returned to his body, drank a cup of fine wine, watching her play the zither. This woman was not ordinary, surely in the Fourth Realm.
Not long after, Pei Qingwu left, and other women also exited.
Wu Yaizu suddenly spoke with a serious expression, “Brother Ming, who is that woman? Truly terrifying, initially she could isolate me and Brother Wu outside, although very close yet seemingly in two separate worlds!”
Evidently, Xiang Yiwu and he later discovered, their spirit and intuition were exceptionally abnormal, making them difficult to completely deceive.
“Impressive!” Xiang Yiwu remarked.
“She claims to be Pei Qingwu.” Qin Ming informed.
“Brother Qin…” At this time, someone pushed open the door and entered; it was Mu Yunzhou from Pu Gong, who had also trained the Hunyuan Force, always wanting to spar with Qin Ming.
Today he discovered the main person again, showing up uninvited.
However, at this moment, he seemed somewhat absent-minded, turning back occasionally, watching Pei Qingwu’s departing figure.
“That woman just now came from your Pu Gong, do you know her?” Qin Ming asked.
Mu Yunzhou said, “Pei Qingwu, a prodigy among us, even an exalted Earth Immortal, freely praised her greatly, extraordinary and exceptional.”
He regained his composure, still here for ‘exchange,’ personally pouring the wine, the amber-like wine in the porcelain cup surprisingly contained more than ten types of intense Heavenly Light, rotating together, flying towards Qin Ming.
The entire wine cup, like a luminous cup, shining brightly.
Qin Ming gently flicked his finger, a trace of Primordial Element Heavenly Light entered the porcelain cup, disrupting the balance, yet the wine did not explode, rather added some Heavenly Light, disorderly, but soon returned to a new balance.
Mu Yunzhou exclaimed in admiration, “Impressive, Brother Qin’s use of Chaos Force technique is exquisite, perhaps even a closed-door disciple of a Saint in the Third Realm could not surpass this.”
Xiang Yiwu spoke, “May I ask, the Saint you mentioned, is he the present Buddha’s uncle-master or grandmaster?”
This is important; he wanted to clarify.
“If possessing power comparable to the Seventh Realm, it can be called a living Saint.” Mu Yunzhou did not directly respond but spoke this way.
…
Five days later, just when Qin Ming and Wu Yaizu were preparing to sell Miracle Technique for gold jumps “big pit,” Xiang Yiwu finally had news.
“Elder Ximei” allowed him to enter Jinguang Cave, this time a group from Tathagata Sect would go.
Especially, when Xiang Yiwu mentioned Qin Ming and Xiao Wu, Elder Ximei promptly nodded agreeing they could accompany.
“Since you are called the facade and door panel, it’s better to go together.”
“Why did they suddenly agree?” Xiao Wu asked.
“Pu Gong there have top powerhouses returned!” Xiang Yiwu said solemnly.
The uncle-master of the present Buddha, a terrifying master who cultivated Chaos Force, whether it exploded or not wasn’t known, but still alive today, leading a group of disciples back.
Moreover, he considered himself the Past Tathagata!
Evidently, the situation in Tathagata Sect was somewhat complex.
It’s not only Newborn Road, but both Immortal Road and Esoteric Buddhism have old monsters who had vanished for centuries reappearing in Ye State, for instance, Helian Chengyun’s close uncle-master leading a large group returning to Fangwai Heaven Pure Land.
Two days later, Qin Ming along with Xiao Wu traveled west with Tathagata Sect people.
“Elder Ximei” is a Grandmaster named Gu Xicheng, personally leading the team to Jinguang Cave.
After the ship left Ye State, entering an area without Fire Spring, even the ice and snow disappeared, barren, dark, deathly silent, like an abyss of hell.
Finally, they arrived at the territory where the Minotaur Clan resides.
If it were summer, this place could be called a magnificent landscape, Fire Spring trickling between the mountains, fire rivers running across the plains.
Now, as winter chills the earth, all vegetation is covered in white snow.
Jinguang Cave requires the power of Fire Spring to maintain, and it consumes considerably.
