Chapter 314 Dark Moon
"Master, you will know after you open it and take a look!"
Qin Ke pretended to be mysterious.
"hehe!"
Chen Xuan smiled, "You kid!"
Then he slowly opened the box.
A yellowed book appeared in Chen Xuan's eyes.
"Book?"
Moreover, this book is quite old at first glance. Not only are the words on the cover blurry, there are also cracks.
You must know that the paper used to make books in Dayu is specially made. Under normal circumstances, there is no problem in preserving it for a thousand years.
He raised his head and looked at Qin Ke, "What book is this?"
"I don't know either!"
Qin Ke answered simply, but when he saw Chen Xuan frowning, he quickly explained, "I saw this book in an antique shop in a small county."
"According to what the boss said, it was left behind by a long-established family. Later, it declined and finally ended up in his hands."
"This book alone cost my disciple ten thousand taels of silver!"
"And that boss won't even give you a ounce of life or death!"
Thinking of this, Qin Ke became very angry. The fat boss was really stingy.
It's not that he wants to be cheap, but he is still a character anyway, so being cheap is just a favor.
But shit!
The fat boss only recognizes money and not people.
That scene made everyone who wanted to make friends with him embarrassed.
In the end, Qin Ke threw away ten thousand taels of money without any nonsense, took the book and left.
"Ten thousand taels!"
Even Chen Xuan was shocked by the price. Just this shabby book?
"You are so rich!"
Chen Xuan also teased him.
"Master, didn't I read that this book is relatively old? I thought it might be something special, so I bought it! But this book contains spiritual power, and you also know my disciple's spiritual power. It’s time for you to take action!”
He's not stupid!
Not only does this book look ancient, it even has spiritual power in it, which is definitely unusual.
Of course, if you are really cheated, then you have to admit it.
Let's just think that 10,000 yuan was wasted. Anyway, he doesn't lack this now.
"Um!"
Chen Xuan nodded slightly. Of course Qin Ke was not stupid. On the contrary, he was just teasing.
A finger-thick amount of mental energy was revealed.
Suddenly, Qin Ke's eyes widened, "Master?"
"You have to work hard. Don't wait until your master's spiritual cultivation reaches the late stage of the Immortal Stage. You are still in the middle stage!"
Chen Xuan smiled and said, of course it was also to whip him.
"Master is still master, how can he be compared to disciple!"
Qin Ke couldn't help but sigh.
And he swore that this was definitely not because he was afraid of flattering.
Chen Xuan just smiled, then his eyes flashed with blue light, and he used his mind power at the same time.
This book was too old, with cracks all over it, and he was really afraid of accidentally reading it.
"Bang!"
Broken into pieces.
It doesn't matter if it's money or not, after all, it's Qin Ke's filial piety to him, it's his heart.
"Um?"
Chen Xuan raised his eyebrows.
"What a complicated formation!"
I couldn't help but murmur in my heart. I didn't expect that there were tens of thousands of formations arranged in this small book, and they were all interlocking.
If he doesn't have other minds, he can see the essence clearly.
If a spiritual power really breaks the formation, not only will the book club be wiped out in an instant, but even the people will feel uncomfortable.
"No, it's too complicated, be careful!"
Chen Xuan took back his mental power.
"What's wrong, Master?"
Qin Ke asked suspiciously when he saw this.
"It's too complicated. I need Luan Ying's help as a teacher. You haven't gone to the Third Law Department yet, have you?"
"No! I'll be with you as soon as I get back!"
Qin Ke chuckled.
In his heart, he has no respect for anything.
"Okay, I know you have filial piety, so go to Sanfa Division. I will come here tomorrow. If there is anything you don't understand, my teacher will explain it to you!"
Although I have already instilled my own cultivation experience into him.
But everyone's understanding is different. Jiuyuan Taoism is unpredictable and there are probably many that he cannot understand. Otherwise, he would not have reached the late stage of immortality after such a long time.
"Okay, then my disciple will go to the Sanfa Division first, Master. Be careful!"
Qin Ke didn't forget to remind him before leaving.
"Go ahead, I don't know yet!"
"hey-hey!"
Although he was scolded, Qin Ke left the study with a smile.
Chen Xuan shook his head and smiled.
Although this kid's talent is not very good, his filial piety is enough to make up for everything.
Then a message was sent to Luan Ying, "Come to the study!"
She was practicing and immediately opened her eyes with confusion on her face.
Because Chen Xuan never disturbed her when she was practicing, then something big must have happened.
So he immediately got up and went to the study.
"What's wrong, husband?"
The voice came in before Luan Ying arrived.
I saw her leaving the study room in a panic.
"Husband!"
"See how anxious you are!"
Chen Xuan looked at her fondly, "It's no big deal. You'll be watching from the side later. If my husband's mental strength is insufficient, you can make up for it in time!"
Seeing him say this, Luan Ying immediately became nervous, "Ah, I'm afraid I can't do it well!"
She really only knows how to practice, and she doesn't usually use her mental power much.
Completely a novice among novices.
"It's okay, don't be nervous, just follow your husband's instructions!"
Chen Xuan comforted her.
"That's fine, I'll listen to you."
"Um!"
After a slight nod, a burst of spiritual power appeared, and he used his mind power again.
A two-pronged approach!
Chen Xuan's expression was extremely cautious, and he controlled his mental power to enter the outer formation bit by bit.
Suddenly, the originally quiet yellowed book burst into a dazzling blue light.
Even the entire study turned blue.
"Katz."
A series of faint voices sounded in the room.
Chen Xuan untied hundreds of formations around the perimeter in one go.
But this is just the beginning.
Chen Xuan, who uses his mind telepathy, knows that the peripheral formations are just an appetizer, not too difficult. From now on is the time to test him.
Looking at the densely packed runes, I felt goosebumps all over my body.
but
The arrow has to be fired when it is on the string.
Then the mental power entered the internal formation.
Luan Ying on the side was staring at Chen Xuan, feeling his situation all the time.
An hour!
Chen Xuan unlocked 10% of the internal formations!
Two hours!
Twenty percent!
Six hours later!
Half of the formations inside have been unlocked by Chen Xuan.
But at this moment, he had very little mental energy left, and his face turned slightly pale.
Seeing this scene, Luan Ying was anxious and frowned.
But she didn't dare to take action without Chen Xuan's instructions, for fear of not helping.
"Replenish your husband's mental strength!"
Chen Xuan's voice rang in the room, and in an instant, Luan Ying released Xuanjie's mental power and intertwined with Chen Xuan's.
With her supplement, Chen Xuan's mental strength quickly recovered.
"Fortunately, I prepared in advance!"
Chen Xuan was glad in his heart that he was no longer the reckless man he was before.
And this was thanks to the fact that the two of them were fellow practitioners of the art of all phenomena, otherwise he would really not be able to solve this formation.
that's all!
Chen Xuan was unraveling the formation while absorbing Luan Ying's mental power.
Six hours!
Less than 10% of the internal formation is left.
Chen Xuan let out a breath, and then asked, "How much mental power do you have left?"
"It's early, less than 40% has been consumed!"
Luan Ying replied immediately.
"As expected of Xuanjie spiritual cultivation!"
Chen Xuan couldn't help but sigh.
He was absorbing and consuming at the same time, which was equivalent to double the amount, but she only consumed less than four levels in such a long time.
Now he has no worries anymore.
Start cracking the remaining formations again.
Three hours!
The blue light above the yellow book slowly dimmed as if it was burning out, until it completely disappeared.
"call--"
"Finally completely untied!"
Chen Xuan let out a long sigh. Even with Luan Ying's constant supplements, at the moment it ended, the deep-seated fatigue came out like a tide.
At that moment, I even felt like my eyes were going dark.
Fortunately, it's finally over.
"How are you, husband?"
Seeing that his face turned pale, Luan Ying quickly asked with concern.
"fine!"
Chen Xuan smiled, but his eyes were fixed on the yellowed book in his hand.
"Protected by such a powerful formation, I want to see what's mysterious about it!"
If it weren't for Luan Ying, he wouldn't be able to open it alone.
At this moment, Chen Xuan was looking forward to it, and so was Luan Ying on the side.
Chen Xuan was cautious, fearing that he would damage the fragile book cover if he made too big a move, but when he opened it.
Dumbfounded!
He didn't even recognize the characters on it, each one was as crooked as a ghost's talisman.
"Husband, this...?"
Luan Ying tilted her head and looked at him.
After so much effort, when I finally looked at it, I didn’t even recognize the words.
But Chen Xuan was just stunned for a moment, but returned to normal after a while, and became faintly more excited.
"It seems to be too old. This writing should not be from today!"
Said slowly.
But the more this happens, the more it illustrates the value of this book.
Now we just need to find ways to find people who know these words.
"Yes! My husband is right!"
Luan Ying smiled and nodded. In her heart, Chen Xuan's words were God's and whatever she said was right.
Tonight!
Chen Xuan really didn't do anything and fell into a deep sleep.
I didn't wake up until noon.
"Fuck! It's so fucking uncomfortable!"
He leaned on the bed with his upper body exposed, cursing.
My head is still a little dizzy now.
"My husband is awake!"
Ning Xin walked in slowly at this time, holding the freshly brewed soup in her hand.
"Hmm! This is...?"
Chen Xuan pointed to the white porcelain bowl in her hand.
"I got some big medicine to give you a good tonic. Come on, I'll feed you!"
As he spoke, he sat on the edge of the bed, took a spoonful of it with a spoon, blew on it, tasted it a little, and then fed it to his mouth, "Open your mouth!"
But Chen Xuan frowned.
With a very disgusted expression, he said, "What the hell is this? It makes me want to vomit when I smell it!"
"Open your mouth!"
Ning Xin stared at her. She got up early in the morning just to endure this, and he still disliked her.
Besides, good medicine tastes bitter, not to mention that these are medicines that have been used for thousands of years. Isn’t it normal for them to smell bad?
"oh!"
Chen Xuan opened his mouth honestly.
"It's so bitter!"
Even his expression was distorted.
"Come on, eat this!" Ning Xin was already prepared and stuffed a hawthorn into his mouth.
"Well, it's much better now!"
Feeling the sourness of hawthorn instantly eliminates the bitterness in your mouth.
"You were ready. Why didn't you tell me just now?"
Chen Xuan protested.
"snort!"
Ning Xin blushed at him, looking very arrogant, and then fed another spoonful of soup into his mouth.
After Chen Xuan drank it, he immediately opened his mouth and ate a hawthorn.
In this way, with Ning Xin serving him, Chen Xuan drank every drop of the soup, no matter how bitter it was.
"Not bad, you behave very well!"
Ning Xin patted his head and coaxed him like a child.
Chen Xuan rolled his eyes.
But don't mention it, after drinking the medicinal soup, I obviously felt a lot better.
Then she got dressed under Ning Xin's service, and then came to the study room.
About half an hour later, Qin Ke also came here.
"Look!"
Chen Xuan handed over the yellowed book.
"Disciple, I want to see if ten thousand taels is worth it."
Qin Ke said with a smile, and then turned it over and was dumbfounded. It was almost exactly the same as Chen Xuan's expression yesterday.
"Master, this!"
After so much effort, in the end... I didn’t recognize the words!
There is no one else.
However, he was very thoughtful and quickly reacted. He looked at Chen Xuan and nodded slightly.
So he said, "Disciple, I understand!"
Then he came to the table, took out a few pieces of white paper, looked at the words on the first page, and wrote a word on each piece of paper.
After doing all this, he returned the book to Chen Xuan.
Holding a few pieces of paper, he said, "Then are you going to do it now?"
Chen Xuan nodded with satisfaction. This was what he liked about Qin Ke. He guessed his thoughts without him having to say anything.
However, he still stopped him and said, "Don't worry, you are currently in the middle stage of Immortal Stage. What don't you understand about Nine Yuan Taoism?"
"That's quite a lot!"
Qin Ke didn't feel embarrassed. After all, Chen Xuan knew exactly what he was like.
Otherwise, it wouldn’t have lasted so long and it would still be only the middle stage of the Immortal Grade.
After that, Chen Xuan answered his questions one by one.
It didn't end until it got dark.
"Thank you Master!"
Qin Ke saluted respectfully. Although he had the master's cultivation experience, there were some things he really didn't understand.
But after Chen Xuan explained it carefully, he finally understood it.
"Okay, let's go back and practice hard first, and then do this after fully understanding today!"
"yes!"
Since Chen Xuan said this, Qin Ke also nodded.
In a blink of an eye, it was already seven days later.
"call--"
In the room, Qin Ke let out a long breath.
Finally got it all figured out.
"Master is Master!"
I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, and at the same time I respected Chen Xuan even more.
If it weren't for Master, Qin Ke wouldn't be where he is now.
I went to see Zongzheng yesterday and was very surprised to see that he was already in the middle stage of Immortal Grade. After all, his talent was average. I didn't expect that he would make such progress after being away for more than half a year.
And he also promised him that when he reaches the late stage of immortality, he will be given a golden coat.
You must know that golden clothes must be in the Xuan realm.
But for Qin Ke, his confidant, he wanted to reward him when he left last time, so he simply gave him a big one and directly promoted him to the golden coat.
"Golden clothes?"
Qin Ke murmured, although there was a hint of excitement in his eyes, it was not enough.
His goal is to at least sit in the third position of the Three Laws Division.
Even higher!
But the premise of all this is strength!
Muran!
Qin Ke smiled.
"It's still too early to think about this now!"
Then he took out the pieces of white paper from his arms, pondered for a moment, and left the room.
"Don't you know anyone?"
Qin Ke frowned after walking out of a time-honored bookseller.
Throughout the morning, he consulted booksellers, antique shops, and even some older scholars in the city, but he knew no one.
This time it was really hard.
"Where else can we go?"
Walking aimlessly on the street, my mind was searching for somewhere else to go.
As I walked, I suddenly stopped.
Because he saw a red chess piece with a waning moon on it, but it was red.
"Yeah, how could I forget it!"
Qin Ke secretly cursed himself for being stupid.
Darkmoon Trading Company!
It has stood in the Eastern Continent for hundreds of thousands of years. If they don't know it, there is really nothing they can do.
Then he strode forward.
Qin Ke just entered the gate of Dark Moon Trading Company.
A young man who was originally very leisurely looked at him and immediately walked out from behind the counter.
"Isn't this Qin Baiyi from the Sanfa Department? What a rare visitor!"
He clasped his hands into fists and greeted him warmly.
"You know me?"
Qin Ke looked at him with some doubts.
"You are a famous person from the Three Laws Division, and you are dressed in white. We, the Dark Moon Trading Company, do business in the Moran Mansion, how could we not recognize you!"
Seeing what he said, Qin Ke nodded slightly, and there was nothing wrong with this explanation.
Indeed, he is considered a figure in the Three Laws Division.
"By the way, what's the shopkeeper's surname?"
"Qin Baiyi is so polite. My surname is Jiang Qi, and all the businesses in Molan Mansion are under my control!"
Hearing him say this, Qin Ke was also very surprised.
After all, he is so young and looks similar to him, but he is unexpectedly in charge of all the businesses in Moran Mansion.
"Brother Jiang is really young and promising!"
Qin Ke also praised him generously.
"Qin Baiyi's words really flattered me. He is just a businessman. Compared with Qin Baiyi, he is far behind!"
Jiang Qi was very modest and flattered Qin Ke at the same time.
For a businessman, although their Dark Moon Business is powerful, Qin Ke is from Dayu after all.
It is better to get along harmoniously without involving the bottom line.
"Brother Jiang, thank you for the compliment. It seems like we hit it off right away. Don't call me Qin Baiyi anymore. If you don't mind, call me Brother Qin. What do you think?"
"It's my honor. Brother Qin, please come this way!"
He said, pulling Qin Ke to the inner room, "Try the spiritual tea that I just got a while ago. It's very different!"
"Then I'm in for a treat today!"
The two of them smiled and came to the inner room like brothers who have known each other for many years.
"Please!"
Jiang Qi stretched out a hand, Qin Ke nodded slightly, and then sat down.
Seeing this,
Jiang Qi started to light the fire in the stove and boil water.
"It will take some time, Brother Qin, wait a moment!"
"Good tea is worth waiting for!"
"Hahaha, Brother Qin, you make sense!"
Jiang Qi laughed immediately.
He admired Qin Ke in his heart. It was not simple for such a person to come out of the small Daning County!
