Chapter 508: Chapter 34 Mirror Flower Water Moon Record Chapter 508: Chapter 34 Mirror Flower Water Moon Record Half a month later.
“Elder Extinguishing Sin, here is the jade slip you requested,” Qiu Changtian descended gracefully from the upstairs and handed the jade slip to the Elder of the Criminal Law Hall.
“Hmm,” the Elder Extinguishing Sin revealed a kind smile, “Thank you for your efforts, Changgeng.”
The Kunlun disciples passing by all seemed as if they had witnessed a miracle, quickly covering their faces with their sleeves and hurrying away.
Wasn’t the Elder of the Criminal Law Hall always known for his stern, intimidating face that never showed a hint of warmth to anyone?
Upon closer consideration, the person before them was Chief Qiu!
Well, then it was understandable.
Even though Qiu Changtian had achieved Core Formation and had been honored with the title “Changgeng True Person,” the disciples in the Foundation Establishment Realm still liked to privately call him “Chief Qiu.”
It gave them a sense of pride as if to say, “I was familiar with him when he was still the chief.”
After sending Elder Extinguishing Sin away, Qiu Changtian returned to his original spot, placing Thor’s Hammer and Thor’s Awl together beneath the table, and gently tapped them against each other.
Tiny silver-white electric arcs nimbly jumped across the surface of Thor’s Awl.
Now that he had gathered the hammer and the awl, Qiu Changtian could use this pair of thunder-inducing magical instruments to carefully comprehend the cultivation method of Tai Xiao Thunder.
This ninth thunder of the ten was particularly obscure and difficult to learn.
Even though he possessed the talent of Daoist Heart Clarity, enabling him to read and understand various scriptures without distraction, the fact that he had made no progress whatsoever in learning the Tai Xiao Thunder was indeed odd.

By noon, Xu Yinglian, as scheduled, arrived at the Scriptural Repository-not to have lunch with him, but purely because she had just finished teaching her junior brothers and sisters and came to see her husband.
“Have you still not found any clue to your Thunder Method?” Seeing him frown as he fiddled with the hammer and the awl, Xu Yinglian asked.
“Alas,” Qiu Changtian shook his head, “I suspect that I might need to reach the Nascent Soul Realm in cultivation before I can grasp these last three thunders.”
“Don’t be too fixated on the Thunder Method,” Xu Yinglian sat down beside him, gently comforting him, “It’s normal for such an abstruse method to be difficult to learn.”
Her voice paused for a moment before she casually added:
“As for me, I have almost mastered the Bloodline Supernatural Power left by our Phoenix Feng ancestor, hehe.”
Qiu Changtian: ……….
Having spent so many years with his junior sister, how could he not understand the implication behind Xu Yinglian’s words just now?
“Once I reach the Golden Core Realm, you might no longer be my match!”
I’m sorry, Junior Sister Xu, but that’s impossible.
Unless I go easy on you…
He was about to tease her with a few playful words when he suddenly heard a voice nearby:
“Changgeng?
I hope I’m not intruding.”
“Oh, Senior Sister Su Ling,” Qiu Changtian hurriedly stood up, “Are you here to borrow some scripture?”
Su Ling True Person shook her head and sighed, saying:
“My junior brother from the Inner Sect, Qiu, has gone missing recently, have you seen him, Changgeng?”
“I’ve seen him a few times,” Qiu Changtian nodded, “Qiu junior brother often comes to the Scriptural Repository to read scriptures, but I have not seen him yesterday or the day before.”
“Sigh,” Su Ling True Person sighed again, “I’ve asked around, and before his disappearance, there was nothing unusual about him, nor had he made any plans to go out with other senior and junior disciples, so no one knows why he suddenly vanished.”
“So it is,” Qiu Changtian understood, “Junior Sister Su Ling wishes to confirm if Junior Brother Qiu had found any clues about an Immortal Sect relic in those ancient tomes, and therefore rashly went off to explore on his own?”
“Exactly,” said Su Ling True Person with a nod, “but I didn’t want to trouble Chief Disciple Changgeng too much.
The master didn’t hold much hope either, it’s fine if the junior brother checks when he has time.”
Qiu Changtian knew that Su Ling True Person didn’t want to owe him too many favors.
After all, for disciples of the Refining Mansion realm from any family to form a High-Grade Golden Core, they must gather at least two hundred years of Refining Mansion cultivation.
Therefore, going out to find Purple Mansion Secret Medicine was a necessary task for those at the Refining Mansion level.
If Junior Brother Qiu had gone to explore a relic of the Immortal Sect without telling anyone before he left, who could find out where he had gone afterwards?
So Junior Sister Su Ling’s sect was just doing their humanly best while leaving the rest to fate, not wanting to trouble Qiu Changtian too much with this matter.
After this senior sister left, Xu Yinglian sighed and said:
“Although I understand, Junior Brother Qiu really took too much for granted.
Since it’s a relic that has never been explored before, he shouldn’t have gone alone; at the very least, he should have brought a fellow sect member.”
“Junior Sister Xu, that’s what you don’t understand,” Qiu Changtian shook his head, “How precious are the Purple Mansion Secret Medicines?
Even among fellow sect members, in those unknown relics, in the face of precious Purple Mansion Secret Medicines, one cannot rule out the possibility of them killing each other.
That Junior Brother Qiu chose to go alone, and did not reveal any clues to anyone before his departure, is a more cautious approach.”
This kind of behavior by Junior Brother Qiu is commonplace in the world of mortal Cultivating Immortality.
If you get a lead on some treasure, even if you utter half a word to someone else, you’ll be lambasted by a swarm of readers-after all, everyone wants to see the protagonist reap the benefits alone.
Thinking about it that way isn’t wrong, it’s just that Junior Brother Qiu didn’t have the strength to deal with the dangers in the relic on his own.
Since he went there alone, if he encountered danger, there would be no one to help him.
Thinking this, Qiu Changtian stood up, intending to check the Scripture Scroll borrowing records in the Scriptural Repository recently.
When Elder Xu was here, although there was a notebook for borrowing records in the Scriptural Repository, almost no one conscientiously registered.
Fortunately, Qiu Changtian was meticulous (after all, can a spy afford not to be?), so if a Foundation Establishment Realm disciple wanted to borrow scriptures to take outside, they would definitely have to leave their name and the title of the book, thus it was possible to find clues left by Junior Brother Qiu.
???G?.??
After flipping through for a while, he stared at the Scripture Scroll, and his eyebrows furrowed slightly.
“What’s wrong?” Xu Yinglian asked curiously, “Is there no record?”
“No,” Qiu Changtian shook his head, speaking with a puzzled expression, “Half a month ago, Junior Brother Qiu has been repeatedly borrowing a certain book.”
“According to the rules of the Scriptural Repository, disciples at the Foundation Establishment Realm can only borrow the ancient tomes for three days, after which they must return or renew the borrowing.”
“Junior Brother Qiu has registered five times, which is to say, he renewed the borrowing five times.”
“Five times?” Xu Yinglian also became surprised, “Which book was it?”
“The title is…” Qiu Changtian hesitated for a moment, “Mirror Flower Water Moon Record.”
“Mirror Flower Water Moon Record?” Xu Yinglian let out an ‘oh’, “I have seen it before at the Xu Family, it is but a fictional travelogue of immortals, posing as a novel.”
“However, this book is not a rare edition or a sole copy.
You can buy one in the market for twelve copper coins, so why did Junior Brother Qiu need to come here to borrow it five times in a row?”
“There must be something strange about this,” said Qiu Changtian with a grave voice, “Looking at this record, Junior Brother Qiu hasn’t borrowed it again after returning the book the last time.”
“That means the Mirror Flower Water Moon Record must still be in the Scriptural Repository,” Xu Yinglian said with a faint smile.
“Would Junior Sister like to go there with me to have a look?”
“Alright.”
