As the deep night arrived, even though the Fire Spring gradually faded, Qin Ming could clearly see with his Newborn's Eye the figure standing on the dark peak shrouded in immortal fog—Uncle Cui Qi.

Cui Hao was from the direct lineage of his clan, and with remarkably high talent, he was one of the future pillars of the Cui Family.

Qin Ming felt that perhaps he knew where his grandfather had gone.

On the beautiful peak, covered in night fog, Cui Hao stood silently. He had been standing here for a long time, watching the boy on the opposite slope with concern.

His face lacked color, looking as if he had just recovered from a serious illness.

He had once gone to the Western Border Battlefield, engaged in fierce battles with demons, narrowly escaping death, and had been recovering until now.

Cui Hao withdrew his gaze, feeling ashamed to face his nephew. After coming out of seclusion, he realized many things had happened, but none could be changed.

He wanted to make amends, but found that Qin Ming was already making a name for himself, rising steadily, and walking with Lu Zizai, Yu Gen Sheng, and others, able to protect himself.

He sighed and turned to walk into the night fog. As long as the child was doing well, that was enough for him; he didn't want to trouble the youngster with his own issues.

For ordinary people, they naturally couldn't see his expression, but Qin Ming could clearly capture the dimness, helplessness, and guilt on his pale face.

Qin Ming found it hard to have goodwill towards most of the Cui family. Some wanted to confine him to that remote part of the Black and White Mountain, while others wished to remove him entirely.

Moreover, his family's silk scripture was still in the hands of the Cui family's ancestor.

One day, when his skills were profound enough, he would surely go to the Cui family to seek justice.

In this thousand-year-old family, Qin Ming was closest to Uncle Cui Qi, and he thought fondly of him.

If it hadn't been for Cui Hao, and Cui Hao's own grandfather, after the war between the Li family and the Cui family broke out, according to its original trajectory, Qin Ming would have inevitably died. It was these two, grandfather and grandson, who successively protected him.

Qin Ming walked briskly out of the slope, his face slightly pale, deeply affected by the terrifying emotions, struggling between hell and paradise.

Nonetheless, his heart was harmonious, filled with a sense of achievement. The fragmented Jade Book had been completed by him and was memorized in his heart.

"How is your harvest?" asked the Great Grandmaster Ling Canghai, with a smile.

"Difficult, difficult, difficult. I only peered at the surface of the True Scripture, merely comprehending the basics," Qin Ming sighed, repeating the word "difficult" thrice.

In an instant, silence enveloped the area, and many showed different expressions. He indeed had some enlightenment!

Qin Ming was startled; he was so modest, saying he only touched the edges, yet why were they still giving him those looks?

An elderly Grandmaster sighed, "Truly remarkable, you can already initially comprehend the fragmented Jade Book at this age. A young hero indeed."

The vicinity of the slope no longer peaceful, a crowd cast peculiar glances, many with complex emotions; some were shocked, others disheartened, some envious, and others indifferent.

"One of the three most difficult True Scriptures on the Immortal Road, known as the Heavenly Book, yet he could understand part of it!"

"No wonder he is considered one of the top Immortal Seeds!"

At this moment, Qin Ming's identity on the Newborn Road was overlooked, involuntarily becoming an "Immortal Seed," accredited by a group of esteemed figures, considering him as an outsider.

If Lu Zizai had not been here, they would certainly insist on thoroughly examining his Spiritual Field; such a prodigious talent, who wouldn't want to study it?

Ling Canghai stepped forward, saying that accommodations had already been arranged.

In the original plan, Qin Ming would have left directly with Lu Zizai, but after discovering Uncle Cui Qi, he gladly agreed to stay for the night.

"That's great; I was looking forward to exchanging thoughts with Brother Qin," said Immortal Seed Zhuo Qingming.

Tang Xumi stepped forward, saying, "Brother Qin, look, I brought you the Cultivation Technique I owed you back then."

Qin Ming was surprised; he took it and glanced at the name... it turned out to be the "Zhili Ape Demon Scripture."

"Are you serious?" he looked at Tang Xumi.

When Qin Ming was fighting fiercely in the Western Border, he was often called the Zhili Ape Demon King by demons; now he could still see this term!

Tang Xumi said, "This is the Cultivation Technique I got from the Western Border Battlefield. Don't despise it; it's quite profound and should be a Miracle Technique."

"Alright then!" What else could Qin Ming say? After expressing his thanks, he accepted it.

Soon, Helian ZhaoYu sent someone with a "message," saying that after Shallow Night's arrival, he wanted to spar with him.

Qin Ming originally didn't want to bother, having just returned from the Western Border Battlefield not long ago, bathed in the blood of many Heavenly Demon Species, he wasn't interested in ordinary battles.

However, after a little thought, he felt there was no harm in agreeing.

The grudge between Helian ZhaoYu and him was quite deep, and definitely not with good intentions. Since the other party wanted to challenge him, he didn't mind stepping in, taking the opportunity to help Qing Yue resolve trouble.

Under the watchful eyes, if Helian ZhaoYu were to suffer a great defeat, would he still have the face to entangle with Li Qingyue in the future?

Qin Ming said, "Alright, ask him to prepare something I'm interested in."

The person delivering the message was Helian Zhaoyu's cousin. Upon hearing Qin Ming's words, he was stunned. Did the other side actually expect an "appearance fee"?

"Just a spar, why so serious?" Helian Zhaohui was very dissatisfied.

Qin Ming replied, "Do you not know in your hearts whether it's just a spar? Hmm, consider it a prize. If I lose, naturally, I won't mention these things again."

The people who hadn't dispersed upon hearing their conversation suddenly became energized, wishing Shallow Night would arrive immediately. They hadn't expected a collision between top Immortal Seeds.

At this time, the Fire Spring in the Pure Land was artificially adjusted, with flames gradually restrained, yet it outlined a more beautiful artistic conception.

Li Qingyue and Qin Ming walked away, their silhouettes faintly visible amidst the silver bamboo grove.

Helian ZhaoYu's face was cold as he watched them go.

Wei Cheng said, "Zhao Yu, I'll walk with you."

"I'm going into seclusion!" Helian Zhao Yu felt a shiver and turned to leave.

Wei Cheng nodded, smiling, "Looking forward to tomorrow!"

He was calm, as he wasn't the one to take action anyway.

The Pure Land in the deep night had a certain ethereal beauty. The Immortal Trees cast a clear radiance, the Spiritual Medicine emitted auspicious glows, and as far as the eyes could see, all vegetation was draped in a soft veil, haloed in a faint glow, appearing like a fairy tale world soaked in moonlight and immortal fog, serene and enchanting.

Qin Ming and Li Qingyue walked side by side, strolling through the silver Pure Land.

He didn't mention the Four Leaf Jade Book, saving it for later. After all, right now they were in the Pure Land. If others found out he had actually completed the True Scripture, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Helian Zhao Yu is not weak. He has been training from the Fourth Realm, tempering himself with the Extreme Method," Li Qingyue said.

Qin Ming smiled, "This shows that when he first ventured into certain realms, he couldn't reach the pinnacle, unable to achieve breakthroughs in one fell swoop, needing to backtrack and retrace his steps."

Li Qingyue gave a light smile, "That's the Ten Thousand Forging Technique, from a Secret Scripture of priceless value. The way you speak of it diminishes its mysterious aura quite a bit."

She warned not to underestimate him!

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing." Qin Ming put away his smile.

He naturally did not underestimate Helian Zhao Yu, who was originally a formidable Immortal Seed from the Fourth Realm, clearly wanting to use the Ten Thousand Forging Technique to lay the strongest foundation.

The Shallow Night arrived, and all Fire Springs became bright.

Soon after, a golden morning glow shot out from a mountain with immortal fog on its eastern side, spreading across the Pure Land, bringing with it a fresh and vibrant energy.

Accompanied by Li Qingyue, Qin Ming went to see Cui Hao.

On the picturesque mountain peak, next to a medicinal field, sat thatched huts shrouded in immortal fog, where Cui Hao secluded himself for cultivation.

He looked complex, sighed, "Alas!"

"Seventh Uncle, are you hurt?" Qin Ming, without pretense, stepped forward to support him by the arm.

"I'm fine, the injury is healing fast. In the blink of an eye, two years have passed, and you're already taller than me," Cui Hao said, and they mutually avoided mentioning the people or matters of the Cui family.

After a moment, Cui Hao returned to his usual talkative self, looking at Li Qingyue waiting in the distance, he turned to Qin Ming with a smile, "Not bad, you have a good eye. She is the fairest girl of our Pure Land, an amazingly gifted Immortal Seed."

Then he nodded, "Yes, speaking of it, you've known each other for a long time too, which is good, understanding each other well."

"Seventh Uncle, I have some things to ask you." Later, Qin Ming collected his smile, seriously inquiring about the whereabouts of his grandfather.

He was filled with worry, calculating the time, an old man without cultivation had already reached his later years, he didn't even know if he'd have a chance to see him again.

Cui Hao said, "Although I was one of the first to make contact with your grandfather, in the end, it was your father... who personally received the old man."

The so-called father referring to Master Cui.

"His ultimate whereabouts..." Qin Ming's voice trembled.

"It's said he insisted on leaving, wanting to find your birth parents," Cui Hao, not present at the time, relayed what Master Cui had told him.

He then mentioned a few place names.

Qin Ming furrowed his brow, remaining silent for a long time.

He least wanted to see Master Cui and Madam Cui, but inevitably, in the future, he must personally visit, to ask them directly.

However, he could not wait any longer, regarding this matter, he needed to enlist Lu Zizai for help, planning to "visit" the Cui family within days!

He already had a complete Silk Scripture, not hurried to see the Cui family patriarch, waiting until his power was sufficient, he could personally demand the only item his grandfather left him.

Now, with Lu Zizai breaking through the Heavenly Gate, most importantly resolving the "old body" issue, he was already able to walk the world freely.

Qin Ming prepared to thicken his skin and ask him to accompany him for a trip to the Cui family.

Yet, this matter he did not plan to mention to Cui Hao, to prevent putting him in a difficult position, causing unnecessary anxiety.

"You're going to the Cui family?" After leaving, Li Qingyue knew his thoughts, and was taken aback. If the Cui family knew who was accompanying him, they might become defensive, potentially triggering a huge storm.

"Qin Ming, when can you come? My uncle has been waiting for you!" Helian Mingxu appeared, not more than eleven years old, in splendid attire, with a jade pendant at his waist, somewhat precocious.

Qin Ming had no fondness for him. Back then, he, Xiao Wu, and Xiang Yiwu stayed on the moon above Great Yu, and it was this boy who arranged for their residence to be cleared out prematurely.

"What's the rush, let him wait!"

"You…" Helian Mingxu, with his red lips and white teeth, was rather an outstanding looker. At this moment, he was very angry, but he ultimately restrained himself, especially not wanting to lose composure in front of Li Qingyue.

This morning, the glow of dawn was splendid, and the young generation of the Pure Land gathered early, with many waiting to witness a dragon-tiger clash.

In fact, a group of older individuals also arrived on site, as it was a duel between the top Immortal Seeds, making them restless as well.

Helian Zhao Yu spoke, "Battling in the Martial Arts Arena is meaningless, let's go to the Night Fog World outside the Pure Land!"

"No problem!" Qin Ming nodded, understanding his intent, not to fight within the enclosed territory, wanting to freely unleash their fists and weapons.

The two rushed forward first, shortly leaving behind a world of flowers and birds, spring sunshine, entering an icy realm filled with a chilling aura.

"When defeated at the peak of life, what kind of experience would that be?" Helian Zhao Yu and Qin Ming walked side by side, speaking in low tones only audible to them.

"Have you ever been dazzling?" Qin Ming asked calmly.

Tomorrow, I have to get a tooth implant, trembling in fear. That will be all for today, early to bed.
