Mixed in the heavens, merits and virtues become immortals

Chapter 308 That's great, it's a general!
A sword light streaked across the blue sky, crashing down into a mountain. The figures instantly separated: Gu Qing sat on the ground, holding the Dragon-Slaying Sword, while Lu Xueqi stood gracefully to the side, her face contorted with rage.

Gu Qing looked around. This Qingyun Mountain was also a battlefield between the righteous and demonic forces. The rocks here must have been bombarded by sword energy. The entire mountain peak was slender and carved, with its four sides seemingly divided and joined together. The top of the mountain was also cut, resembling a lotus leaf. Gu Qing and Lu Xueqi were on this platform. The cold air in the mountain flowed up along the cracks in the mountain range, chilling them to the bone.

Although the mountain air was chilly, it couldn't compare to Lu Xueqi's icy gaze.

"explain!"

Lu Xueqi continued.

Gu Qing asked Lu Xueqi to plead for him, but how could Lu Xueqi possibly agree? Right then and there, they took action on Dragon Head Peak, captured Gu Qing, and used their swords to move to this secluded and deserted place.

"Thank you very much, Junior Sister Lu."

Gu Qing stood up, cupped his hands in greeting to Lu Xueqi, and said, "I was able to spar with the disciples of Dragon Head Peak by provoking Qi Hao inside the peak, but now that Junior Sister Lu has arrived, it won't just be Dragon Head Peak anymore; I'm afraid the disciples of all the peaks will not let me off the hook."

Lu Xueqi is a super popular goddess in the Qingyun Sect. Her act of coming to find Gu Qing and taking him away immediately aroused Gu Qing's hatred.

Qi Hao needs to kowtow to Lu Xueqi so he can be free from this burden.

"Explain the technique!"

Lu Xueqi ignored all of that and said coldly.

Gu Qing slowly suppressed his smile and said seriously, "Actually, the cultivation technique I taught you is the Great Brahma Prajna of Tianyin Temple."

Gu Qing spoke the truth.

Lu Xueqi was already prepared. She realized that she had mistakenly learned Buddhist techniques and originally planned to abolish them after finding out the truth. However, after hearing about the Great Brahma Prajna, she felt that she was in big trouble.

The supreme technique of Tianyin Temple is no longer a matter of whether or not the cultivation method is abolished; just hearing about it is a sin.

"Speak clearly to me!"

Lu Xueqi pursed her lips, her face showing a hint of sadness.

She was dragged into a terrible vortex by Gu Qing, and from now on she would no longer be an innocent Qingyun disciple.

"Junior Sister Lu, you don't need to be afraid."

Gu Qing comforted Lu Xueqi, saying, "This Great Brahma Prajna is a top-notch technique in the world. It can strengthen the meridians and stabilize the mind. As long as you don't activate it at full power, even Master Shuiyue won't be able to see through it."

During the Seven Peaks Martial Arts Tournament, Zhang Xiaofan was injured several times. Tian Buyi showed him great care but still couldn't find the Great Brahma Prajna within Zhang Xiaofan's body.

Hearing this, Lu Xueqi felt slightly relieved, but then asked, "Where did the cultivation technique come from?"

"I learned it by stealing it."

Gu Qing said frankly, "I learned it by accident. After I learned it, I knew that disaster was coming. But I was unwilling to give up and always wanted to leave something behind in Qingyun Sect. Junior Sister Lu, you have high talent and high cultivation, so I risked everything to pass on the technique to you."

According to Gu Qing, passing on the skills to Lu Xueqi was entirely for the sake of the Qingyun Sect.

Great, needless to say.

"I figured that when Tianyin Temple takes back the technique, I'll just die. They'll never imagine that Junior Sister Lu has a legacy in her. With that, Qingyun Sect's strength will only grow stronger."

Gu Qing's eyes were complicated as he said, "But Junior Sister Lu came to see me in such a grand manner today, I wonder if she will be implicated."

Was it my fault for being too impulsive?

Lu Xueqi felt a little ashamed, but something felt very wrong.

She had no intention of learning the Great Brahma Prajna at all!
"So, it was your doing to replace Buddhist scriptures with Taoist texts?"

Lu Xueqi asked.

If it had been Buddhist scriptures from the start, Lu Xueqi would definitely not have studied them. "That's right."

Gu Qing said, "This is just Chinese-to-Chinese translation, nothing special."

Gu Qing spoke lightly, but Lu Xueqi knew that this required extremely profound wisdom from both Buddhism and Taoism. Thus, Lu Xueqi sized up Gu Qing, watching his clothes flutter in the wind, carefree and composed, seemingly oblivious to the impending disaster despite having caused a huge mess.

"When you sparred with me, that move of the Returning Origin Sword Technique was different."

Lu Xueqi felt that if she was going to ask, she should ask thoroughly, and she brought up Gu Qing's moves from back then.

"That's a state of mind, called 'Sword Heart Clarity'."

After giving a brief explanation, Gu Qing stepped down the mountain and jumped down. After cultivating immortality, things were different. Using the immortal techniques of Taiji Xuanqing Dao, Gu Qing landed with the wind and arrived at a secluded spring.

Lu Xueqi followed and landed beside Gu Qing. She saw Gu Qing use his immortal magic to carve a stone pot in an instant, and then use his immortal magic to gather a lot of miscellaneous branches and wood. His various applications seemed to be the Taiji Xuanqing Daoist method, but they had their own unique mechanisms and were different from others.

"If you want to learn Sword Heart Clarity, then cook me a fish to eat."

Gu Qing sat calmly to the side and said with a smile.

The Cihang Sword Manual of Cihang Jingzhai is a method that combines Buddhism and Taoism, using the way of the sword to enter the way of heaven. Although we are currently in a world of immortals and heroes, the contents of the Cihang Sword Manual are still beneficial.

Lu Xueqi looked at Gu Qing, then at the deep pool. There were indeed fish swimming inside. So she lightly made a hand seal with her left hand and used a magic technique to move the water and fish into the stone pot. Then she made another hand seal to prepare to start a fire.

"Wait a moment."

Seeing this, Gu Qing frowned and asked, "Junior Sister Lu, how much do you know about cooking fish?"

Lu Xueqi raised her eyebrows slightly. To be honest, she didn't dislike Gu Qing because of his clear eyes and neat appearance. She was also curious about his swordsmanship, which was why she agreed to cook for him. But Gu Qing's questioning made her unhappy.

"Boil the water and the fish will be cooked."

Lu Xueqi said succinctly.

"anything else?"

Gu Qing asked.

besides?

Lu Xueqi hesitated for a moment, then said, "The pot must be placed on the fire."

Excellent, it's the general!
Tears welled up in Gu Qing's eyes, and she almost wanted to stand up and cheer. She reached out and grabbed the fish, skillfully gutting and scaling it, and steaming it dry. Compared to Zhang Xiaofan's self-taught background in the kitchen, Gu Qing had read Lu Miaozi's recipes and had traveled through multiple worlds, making her a gourmet with exceptional insight. After showing off her culinary skills, Gu Qing also took out the bottles and jars she had prepared beforehand and added seasonings.

As the aroma of fish began to waft up, Lu Xueqi looked at Gu Qing with increasing astonishment.

"Eat some."

Gu Qing took out the chopsticks she had just made and handed them to Lu Xueqi.

Showing off his cooking skills in front of Lu Xueqi was part of Gu Qing's plan. Lu Xueqi smelled the aroma of the fish, glanced at Gu Qing, and silently took the chopsticks.

After the two finished off the fish, Gu Qing looked at Lu Xueqi and explained the Other Shore Sword Technique to her. This sword technique originally had thirty moves, but Shi Feixuan condensed it into nine moves. It also contained Gu Qing's understanding of swordsmanship, etc. Lu Xueqi listened silently and felt that this three-foot sword technique would greatly benefit her.

"After you go back, you should focus on your cultivation."

Gu Qing stood up at the opportune moment and said, "I'm going out to deal with the Bloodthirsty Bead, and then I'll wait at Qingyun Mountain to accept my punishment."

Gu Qing looked like she had come to terms with it.

Lu Xueqi's heart stirred slightly as she recalled what Gu Qing had said before, that she should protect her while sealing the Bloodthirsty Bead.

Want to go?
