Seeing Luo Wenyuan's expression soften, Qingyang continued to persuade him, "Well, forget it. It would be inconsiderate of me to separate you from your beloved. I won't force you to become my disciple—"

Luo Wenyuan glared at Qingyang fiercely and thought to himself, what a waste of thought, it was you who planned this all along!

"——This Immortal Lord also hopes that you can cultivate to the Jindan stage as soon as possible and return to the lower realm to meet your sweetheart!"

After saying that, Qingyang took out a booklet from his Qiankun bag and placed it in front of Luo Wenyuan.

"Here is a cultivation method. It was given to me by a ghost cultivator who asked me to refine a weapon. Take it! Although you don't have a physical body now, your spirit is as strong as that of an ordinary person. This ghost cultivation method is simple to learn and the cultivation speed is fast. It is perfect for you."

Luo Wenyuan glanced at the booklet coldly, unmoved, but Qingyang smiled with her eyes curved.

"There are three thousand great ways, all leading to the same destination. Human cultivation, demon cultivation, and ghost cultivation are the three major schools of cultivation. The ghost cultivation method may sound scary, but it is definitely not a crooked path. It is a martial arts method specifically for ghosts with obsessions who do not want to enter the cycle of reincarnation. If you don't believe me, you can go to Lanhai Xianzong to find out clearly, and then come to me for the secret manual--"

After saying that, Qingyang made a move to put the booklet away, but Luo Wenyuan snatched it away. He flipped it open and took a look. Luo Wenyuan's face turned pale. What kind of words are these? How come he doesn't recognize any of them?

Qingyang coughed, and finally suppressed the laughter that was about to burst out of his mouth, and explained to Luo Wenyuan:

"The person who wrote this manual was born in the Western Zhou Dynasty and used the Zhuan script. It's normal that you can't understand it. But I, the Immortal Lord, can understand it. Would you like me to explain it to you?"

Luo Wenyuan felt that if he were still in physical form, Qingyang would have caused him to suffer a cerebral hemorrhage due to his anger. However, this cultivation method was his only hope of returning to the lower realm and reuniting with Qingshan. Even if he was annoyed with Qingyang, he had to endure it. Improving his strength was the bottom line.

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Immortal Lord!"

"Okay, okay! Actually, this Immortal Lord also wants to see how much potential a person can unleash when they have an obsession. Please don't let this Immortal Lord down!"

"Oh, by the way, to encourage you to practice, this Immortal Lord has a great gift for you—"

As he spoke, Qingyang took out an ancient bronze mirror and handed it to Luo Wenyuan.

Luo Wenyuan took it and looked at it repeatedly in his hand. The bronze mirror was only the size of a palm. The handle and the back were engraved with the pattern of a phoenix wearing a peony. The mirror surface was made of brass. It was so old that the brass had green rust spots.

"What's this?"

"This is my treasure, the Flower Moon Water Mirror. Hold the handle of the mirror and think of the person you want to see most, and that person will appear in the mirror. How about this? Do you want to see what your little lover is doing?"

Luo Wenyuan quickly grasped the handle of the mirror with both hands and silently recited Qingshan's name in his heart. In less than three seconds, the rusty mirror surface turned into a clear lake. An image gradually appeared on the lake surface. It was the person Luo Wenyuan had been thinking about.

There was only an image but no sound in the mirror. Luo Wenyuan saw Abe Kakuichi being captured and brought back to Qilin for trial; he saw Qingshan carrying his body back to the clinic; he saw his grandfather, uncle and aunt wiping tears and sighing around his body, while Qingshan forced a smile and kept comforting them; after everyone left, Qingshan held his hand and whispered something. Luo Wenyuan tried hard to read his lips, and before the image disappeared, he finally saw clearly that Qingshan said, "Wenyuan, I'll wait for you."

Luo Wenyuan's heart ached, and he pinched the mirror, trying to make it reflect again. At this moment, Qingyang spoke again:

"Don't try. The Flower Moon Water Mirror can only be used once a month, and each time you can only take a quick glimpse and see what happened to her in a day. But the longing for her now is only temporary. Once you have tasted the benefits of cultivating immortality, I'm afraid you won't want to look at this mirror anymore. Remember to return it to me then!"

Luo Wenyuan carefully put the bronze mirror into his tactical bag and said to Qingyang with a cold face:

"Immortal Lord Qingyang, start practicing!"
