73: Qiu Yuebai's reminder: Time to start taking advantage of deals!

After Palace Mistress of Red Lotus and Jiang Luoyi left, Eighteenth Ancestor walked out from the side.

"Kid Xu, you actually didn't take the opportunity to fleece Red Lotus Heavenly Palace; that's not like your character!"

"Honestly, did you take a liking to that girl from the Jiang family? Can't bear to see her suffer a loss?"

Hearing these unseemly words from the old man, Xu Jinhuan cast him a helpless look.

"Eighteenth Ancestor, look at what you're saying. Am I the type of guy who can't walk when he sees a woman? I have always acted uprightly, my heart set on the Dao, and I do not dally with women!"

"Cut the crap!"

Eighteenth Ancestor scoffed.

"How many beauties are already surrounding you, kid? Half the Saintesses in the Holy Land are following you; do you have the nerve to say you keep away from women?"

"Do you know how many male Disciples in the Holy Land are now gnashing their teeth in hatred toward you?"

Hearing this, the corner of Xu Jinhuan's mouth twitched slightly, and he was momentarily speechless.

Er... alright, the facts seem to be exactly that.

Taiyi Holy Land has a total of seven Saintesses, among whom Yin Xinsu, Liu Changxi, and Su Zihan are all following him.

Just last night, Senior Sister Yin Xinsu even engaged in a hearty sword-forging session with him...

But Xu Jinhuan still wanted to quibble.

"This time is an exception! They just want to follow me to comprehend the stone carvings in various places, and I happen to have the same intention. It's purely by chance, definitely not what you're thinking!"

"Hehe, if you say so."

Eighteenth Ancestor was noncommittal and changed the subject.

"Seriously, are you really only planning to borrow the Great Emperor Scripture of Red Lotus Heavenly Palace? Not asking for some supreme treasures like immortal medicine or Great Sage Divine Ability?"

Xu Jinhuan nodded.

"Well, after all, Red Lotus Heavenly Palace has a good relationship with our Holy Land; there's no need to fleece them mercilessly."

Eighteenth Ancestor looked worried.

"I know your talent is terrifying, kid, but I still think this is a bit of a loss..."

Trading one Great Emperor Scripture for the chance to borrow more Great Emperor Scriptures.

In Eighteenth Ancestor's view, this was simply a huge gamble, and in all likelihood, a bet that would result in a total loss.

As a Grand Elder of Taiyi Holy Land, Eighteenth Ancestor knew all too well the difficulty of cultivating a Great Emperor Scripture. Even though he had reached the Peak Great Sage Realm and lived for eons, he had only cultivated one Great Emperor Scripture and had yet to fully master it, only managing to glimpse the surface.

Even if Xu Jinhuan's talent was Heaven-Defying, being able to master the basics of one Great Emperor Scripture in a short time would already be immense luck. Trying to gain substantial benefits from the Scripture Pavilion of Red Lotus Heavenly Palace was as difficult as ascending to heaven.

Xu Jinhuan was full of confidence.

"Rest assured, I know what I'm doing."

Seeing him so confident and not appearing to be forcing it, Eighteenth Ancestor pondered for a moment, finally nodded, and said nothing more.

His figure gradually became illusory, as if merging into the Void Realm, and after a moment, he completely dissipated.

Half a day later, one of yesterday's defeated opponents, Qiu Yuebai, arrived.

She wore a floor-length purple tube-top dress that outlined her perfectly proportioned figure, her fragrant shoulders half-exposed, her lotus-root-like arms as white as jade, her steps light and slow, carrying a soul-captivating charm.

Her features were not heavily made up, but she was meticulously dressed, perfectly matching her overall attire.

The moment Qiu Yuebai saw Xu Jinhuan, her eyes brimmed with affection like a spring tide breaking its banks, and the deep joy in her eyes could not be hidden at all.

After bowing, she parted her red lips slightly, her voice soft and bewitching.

"Young Master Xu, I have been ordered to take you to the Hall of Inheritance."

"Alright, thank you for your trouble, Miss Qiu."

Xu Jinhuan nodded and followed.

Traveling at high speed, the two quickly arrived at the Hall of Inheritance.

But Xu Jinhuan did not immediately walk into the place of Legacy before him; instead, he looked at the beautiful woman in front of him.

"Miss Qiu, is there something you would like to say?"

Xu Jinhuan asked.

He had wanted to ask for a long time; along the way, he could perceive that Qiu Yuebai had repeatedly hesitated to speak, wanting to say something but never daring to.

Since you dare not say it, I will just ask.

Hearing the question, Qiu Yuebai's already rosy face suddenly turned bright red, and the roots of her ears turned even deeper red.

"Um... Young Master, among the Holy Land's Great Emperor Scriptures, the Honglian Flowing Light Scripture is the easiest to master. If you have no ideas about the others, you can Cultivate this scripture first..."

This Saintess, who was second only to Jiang Luoyi, turned around and revealed the secrets of the Red Lotus Heavenly Palace, fearing that Xu Jinhuan would gain nothing.

"Hmm, thank you for the reminder, Miss Qiu; I will keep that in mind."

Xu Jinhuan nodded in gratitude.

Receiving affirmation, Qiu Yuebai's heart beat so fast it was unbelievable, even experiencing a brief pause.

Young... Young... Young Master Xu, he is thanking me!

Hehehe, what should our future children be named...

In an instant, Qiu Yuebai fell into a fantasy.

Even as Xu Jinhuan continued to speak to her, he could not pull her back to reality.

"Miss Qiu, I will go in first."

Helpless, Xu Jinhuan could only go do his own business first.

He could not stay in Red Lotus Heavenly Palace for too long; the matter of the Great Emperor Scriptures had to be resolved quickly.

The Hall of Inheritance of Red Lotus Heavenly Palace was itself transformed from a quasi-emperor weapon.

There were no Elders guarding the hall door; one could just walk in.

After entering, it was an independent space, and Xu Jinhuan was the only person in the space.

Looking up, the firmament of the space reflected a huge light screen ten thousand zhang wide and long. The light screen was covered with dense, tiny characters, all of which were the Sect's Cultivation Technique catalog and their corresponding storage areas. At a glance, it was vast and boundless.

This showed the deep Foundation of Red Lotus Heavenly Palace as an Immortal Dao Lineage.

In front of Xu Jinhuan stood an ancient bronze circular mirror, its surface simple and unadorned, engraved with obscure runes.

Without needing to think, it seemed natural; he knew that by placing his hand on the circular mirror, he could use his Divine Sense to view the catalog and find what he needed.

"It's quite similar to the libraries of my past life."

After saying this, Xu Jinhuan immediately did so.

Since the Palace Mistress of Red Lotus had already given him sufficient authority, he could view the information of all scriptures.

"All Great Emperor Scriptures."

The next moment, a clear map of the hall instantly appeared in his mind. The starting point and the destination where the Great Emperor Scriptures were stored were both marked with red dots, and the route was clear at a glance.

Following the route straight to the destination, Xu Jinhuan indeed stepped into an exclusive area.

As soon as he took a step, he keenly sensed an obscure gaze falling upon him.

"Is the Palace Mistress of Red Lotus supervising me? The aura is wrong; it's not her."

"Forget it, comprehending the scriptures is more important!"

"Time to start fleecing the sheep!"

Even for the Azure Lotus Dao Severing Art with incomplete runes, Xu Jinhuan could understand it at a glance and complete the modifications.

The complete Great Emperor Scriptures before him were simply effortless for him!

In the area where the Great Emperor Scriptures were stored, the rustling sound of turning pages rang out.

In the deepest part of the Hall of Inheritance, an illusory figure quietly appeared; it was the artifact spirit of this quasi-emperor weapon hall.

It stared at Xu Jinhuan's direction with great interest, its eyes full of surprise and curiosity.

"Yo, have those old women outside changed their nature? They actually let a man into the Hall of Inheritance? This kid is quite handsome; could it be that some old hag's withered tree has blossomed, and she wants to eat young grass?"

Red Lotus Heavenly Palace had only accepted female Disciples for tens of thousands of years, and the Hall of Inheritance was a cultivation Holy Land exclusively for women. The artifact spirit had guarded this Realm, watching beauties for tens of thousands of years, and was almost becoming sexually confused.

That was why it was so curious about Xu Jinhuan.

However, the artifact spirit watched for a while, and when it saw Xu Jinhuan starting to study the Great Emperor Scriptures, it let out a scoff.

"So he's just a vase that looks good but is useless. His Foundation isn't even solid, he hasn't ignited his Divine Fire, and he hasn't even stepped into the Heavenly Being Realm, yet he dares to touch the Great Emperor Scriptures. He is purely seeking his own death; he'll likely be crippled!"

One must know that the Great Emperor Scriptures contain countless tyrannical and peerless Laws, which require extremely formidable strength to suppress. Only by stepping into the Divine Spirit Realm and condensing the Divine Fire can one barely touch them. A slight carelessness, and one would be backlashed by the Laws, their Dao Heart shattered, and they would become a cripple.

Precisely because of this, the strength of a Divine Spirit Realm Cultivator is fundamentally different from the eight transcendent realms.

Moreover, the Great Emperor Laws are all extremely arrogant and have extremely strong exclusivity. For ordinary Cultivators below the Life and Death Realm, once they condense one Great Emperor Law, their body can only contain this one Law; containing other Laws would cause their Law Firmament to instantly shatter, destroying their Foundation.

Therefore, the artifact spirit said that Xu Jinhuan would likely be crippled.

After finishing, the artifact spirit withdrew much of its attention, not continuing to pay attention to this long-absent man.

In its view, the ending was already doomed; continuing to watch would just be a waste of mental energy.

Xu Jinhuan's page-turning speed was very fast. The Great Emperor Scriptures were not long, concise, clear, incisive, and hit the nail on the head.

On the contrary, the annotations on the side and the back of the pages were ten or even dozens of times longer than the original text.

There was a Great Emperor Scripture as thick as a brick, with a total of 803 pages, of which 802 and a half pages were nonsense.

Even, those annotations were filled with disputes between Cultivators. One page would say the previous insight was wrong, violating the Origin of the Dao, and by the next page, it would become correct, with the left and right brains fighting each other at any time.

"It has the flavor of my past life; I've come to a real library and am seeing ancient books..."

Xu Jinhuan silently put away the urge to look at the 'comment section' in the back.

The Comprehension Ability of these Cultivators was like clouds and mud compared to his. Reading these annotations was purely a waste of time; it was better to focus on the original text.

Opening the main text.

Hum!——

A brilliant spiritual light suddenly exploded in his mind, and countless obscure runes were instantly understood.

The essence of this Great Emperor Scripture in his hand was completely mastered by him in the blink of an eye, even directly reaching the highest Realm!

The Chaos Power within his body boiled along with it, and strands of Law power began to condense autonomously, faintly showing signs of opening up a Law space. As long as Xu Jinhuan was willing, with just a thought, he could open up a brand-new Law Firmament above his Sendai.

"Hmm, indeed, only the Great Emperor Scriptures are worthy of making me open up a Law space."

But because he sensed a gaze on him, Xu Jinhuan did not immediately check the next Great Emperor Scripture, nor did he immediately pick up the next scripture out of caution regarding that obscure gaze.

If he were to Cultivate a Great Emperor Scripture to Major Achievement after only glancing at the original text a few times, it would be too shocking, and it might frighten the existence observing in secret.

Pretending to be calm, he feignedly flipped through the entire book carefully, even glancing at those nonsensical annotations, before slowly standing up and walking slowly toward the next scroll of scripture.

"Hmm, it's actually the Honglian Flowing Light Scripture."

Honglian Flowing Light Scripture is the very Cultivation Technique that Qiu Yuebai recommended.
