"Holy crap! When I saw that huge spot of light, I was so excited I almost fainted."
"But just as I was about to capture it and comprehend it, my consciousness suddenly vanished from that space."
"Damn it, damn it! He stole my precious technique!"
Qin Shou beat his feet and pounded his chest, his expression one of deep grief and indignation.
"A very large spot of light?"
Song Ningsheng was taken aback for a moment. Seeing Qin Shou's sincere expression, which didn't seem like an act, he asked, "How big is the light spot?"
"It's only about the size of a fist!"
Qin Shou clenched his fist in a gesture.
Song Ningsheng immediately rolled his eyes, "Don't lie to me, okay?"
I've seen specks of light before, the largest of which was only the size of a grain of rice, and it was the size of a fist. Why don't you just say you saw the Dao Ancestor himself?
Seeing Song Ningsheng's expression, Qin Shou was also taken aback. "What do you mean?"
Song Ningsheng ignored him and sighed to himself, "Sigh, young people these days are too pretentious."
"However, this reminds me of a close friend of mine who also loved to show off. But I must say, he had the ability and the connections to do so. Unfortunately, he ultimately went too far and got torn apart."
Qin Beast: "??????" I fucking think you're implying I'm being unfairly targeted, but I have no proof!!!
"Hmph, I won't bother arguing with someone so narrow-minded."
Qin Shou muttered to himself.
"Try to experience it again."
"Hehe, it's full of treasures inside! This is way better than my brother Tongzi's stuff!"
Qin Beast grasped the fragment of the Heaven and Earth Treasure Mirror and immediately continued to comprehend it.
Soon, he saw the door again, but when his divine sense tried to penetrate it, he found strangely that the barrier that he had easily passed through before was now as hard as iron. As soon as his divine sense touched it, it was shattered by an inexplicable Daoist aura.
"What's going on?"
Qin Shou opened his eyes, a look of confusion on his face.
"There's no need to try. The Daoist Treasury Space is a great opportunity left to the world by the Dao Ancestor. It is maintained by the order of the Great Dao. Once it is opened, it can only be opened again after ten years."
Song Ningsheng explained to Qin Shou.
"Oh? What a pity!"
Qin Shou felt a little regretful. He had unparalleled comprehension and originally intended to treat the Daoist Canon Space like his backyard, taking a stroll around it every day when he had nothing to do.
This Taoist patriarch is really something, setting a ten-year time limit for no reason.
However, Qin Shou maintained a good attitude. Ten years was just a short time, and he had plenty of time. Moreover, with his maxed-out comprehension, he would be able to communicate with the fragments of the Heaven and Earth Treasure Mirror and enter that space.
What's mine is mine, it'll all be mine sooner or later.
Qin Shou cried out in his heart, silently tucking the fragments of the Heaven and Earth Treasure Mirror into his bosom, deciding to try again in the next ten years.
Seeing this, Song Ningsheng reminded him, "Fellow Daoist, that Heaven and Earth Treasure Mirror belongs to me. I still need it to maintain this lingering attachment."
Upon hearing this, Qin Shou immediately glared, "What do you mean 'yours' and 'mine'? We're all friends, is it necessary to be so clear about it? Huh!"
Song Ningsheng:............
"Moreover, you may not know this, but this Dao Ancestor has a deep connection with my ancestors. This treasure was actually lent to him by my ancestor."
Qin Shou said in a serious tone, rolling his eyes from time to time, feeling that the person in front of him had no awareness at all.
They've become such a mess, and instead of offering up their treasures and asking their elder brother for protection, they dare to shout in their own territory, "That's my treasure! Don't take it away... Ugh!"
Song Ningsheng: ? ? ? ? ? How can a person be so shameless?
My dearest friend died unjustly, sob sob...
"Then, fellow Daoist, what should I do?" Song Ningsheng blinked.
"Do whatever you want," Qin Shou said with a disdainful glance.
"Ahem, may I reside in this lotus flower?"
Song Ningsheng pointed to the Enlightened Immortal Lotus in the Fish-Calling Pond.
"what ever. "
Qin Shou waved his hand.
Song Ningsheng was immediately overjoyed and flew to the golden lotus flower.
He had sensed the extraordinary nature of this golden lotus earlier; it resembled the legendary Enlightenment Lotus.
"May I ask, fellow Daoist, is this the Enlightenment Lotus?"
"Huh? As expected of a top figure in the Central Plains, impressive insight!"
Qin Shou smiled and praised, "Indeed, this is the Enlightenment Lotus, rooted here, but still in its initial state; the laws within the lotus are not yet fully developed."
This is mainly because the lower realm lacks the nourishment of immortal energy and the complete laws of immortality for it to absorb and refine.
"Let me know."
Song Ningsheng nodded repeatedly, pondered for a moment, and then suggested, "Fellow Daoist, when this immortal lotus is fully formed, would you be so kind as to gift me a lotus heart and a petal?"
"What do you need the flower petals for?"
Qin Shou asked in confusion.
"This Enlightenment Lotus is a legendary item even in the Immortal Realm. It can preserve this wisp of my obsession, and perhaps... it can even help me reshape a Dao body, allowing me to cultivate again."
"Tsk tsk, so you had your eye on me, this lotus flower, from the very beginning, didn't you?"
“Alas, fellow Daoist, you are mistaken. Compared to the petals and heart of this Enlightenment Lotus, the Heaven and Earth Treasure Mirror, though valuable, is not as important to me as this lotus heart. Therefore, I would like to exchange it with you for a fragment of that Heaven and Earth Treasure Mirror.”
"Stop changing my mind! I just said that this Heaven and Earth Treasure Mirror was lent to the Dao Ancestor by my ancestors."
"I've simply recovered what I lost!"
Qin Shou glared, then said, "However, considering your pathetic state—you can't even be a simp—I'll grant your request: a lotus heart and a petal."
"Then I thank you for your kindness, fellow Daoist."
Song Ningsheng's lips twitched.
He finally understood what it meant to be "under someone else's roof".
"Haha, don't be so polite. I'm just a really good person; I do good deeds without ever seeking recognition."
Qin Shou grinned and winked.
"By the way, my name is Qin Shou."
Then, with her hands behind her back, she skipped and hopped off to play with Nangong Liuli.
"La la la, I'm so happy today! I got another little treasure..."
Qin Shou began to hum along, mimicking Yi Cheng's tone.
Song Ningsheng watched Qin Shou's retreating figure, a slight twitch at the corner of his mouth.
"Qin Shou, what a good name! He lives up to his name!"
"This person's parents must have been incredibly insightful!"
"well......."
Song Ningsheng looked up at the sky and sighed.
In fact, given his current state, the Heavenly Treasure Mirror wouldn't be of much use to him anymore; in fact, it wouldn't be as effective as the Enlightenment Lotus.
He was just somewhat dismayed that young people these days are so shameless.
And the level of shamelessness is quite high; they don't even blush or pant.
"Alas, I wonder what has become of the Central Plains of China? Are there still any old friends there?"
Song Ningsheng looked up at the sky and murmured something.
......
In the years that followed, Song Ningsheng stayed on this mountain.
Qin Shou would occasionally pull him aside for a chat, letting him tell him about his life experiences and cultivation adventures, while also trying to squeeze out as many secret techniques and methods as possible from him.
Sure enough, on the third day, the Qin beast dug out the secret technique of the first volume of the "Undying Scripture" from its body.
The reason is that you're on my mountain, under my protection, so you need to know how to behave. Otherwise, if I get unhappy one day, you'll have to move to another place.
