470: Chapter 471: Unknown World 470: Chapter 471: Unknown World Obtaining everyone’s approval, Lu Mingshu spoke, “It would be best if neither Heavenly Sea Pavilion nor Ancient Jade Summit submitted any kind of gift list.”
Everyone’s eyes flashed with a sharp light as they stared intently at her.
What did she an by that?
If she said she was willing to disclose the secret thods for free, nobody would believe it.
“Miss Lu,” Sir Wen Hai slowly said, “if no gift list is needed, then what do you want?”
Lu Mingshu shook her head, “I want nothing.”
Sir Wen Hai’s eyes flashed, “Could it be that you have other ideas?”
Lu Mingshu nodded and looked towards Seven Truths Platform.
Supre Elder Shi remained lazily uninvolved, not intending to interrupt her, and another Taoist sat unmoved, her eyelids lowered and uninterested in the matter.
“This secret thod, within my Nine Jade Palace, was placed in the knowledge courtyard.
Any disciple from our line who wants to learn it needs to exchange it with corresponding rit contributions.
As long as soone exchanges for it, I would get a part of those contributions.”
Sir Wen Hai said, “This thod is common across all major sects; it is roughly the sa in my Heavenly Sea Pavilion.”
That was exactly what Lu Mingshu was waiting for him to say, and she imdiately continued, “That’s precisely the point I wanted to discuss.”
Sir Wen Hai looked surprised, “Miss Lu, do you an to say that you are willing to hand over the secret thods to us first?”
That didn’t seem right; once it was in the Heavenly Sea Pavilion, who knows how many disciples had exchanged for it—it would all be up to the Heavenly Sea Pavilion.
“Of course not,” Lu Mingshu organized her thoughts and said, “What I an is, what if Beiming were treated as a larger Nine Jade Palace?”
Treat Beiming as a larger Nine Jade Palace?
What did that an?
This sentence replayed in their minds, and initially, no one understood, but after pondering for a mont, soone suddenly realized its aning.
Sir Wen Hai looked at her in shock, “You…”
Supre Elder Shi suddenly laughed out loud, clapping his hands and looking at Lu Mingshu appreciatively, “What a broader Nine Jade Palace, such a young age yet with such a far-reaching vision.” He patted Gentleman Lianzhen on the back, “Your judgent isn’t bad!”
Gentleman Lianzhen didn’t seem embarrassed and responded, “Grandmaster exaggerates.”
Supre Elder Ling frowned and glared at Lu Mingshu, “What nonsense are you suggesting, girl?
Beiming Xuan Sect has many aristocratic families established; do you intend to organize all of them into an alliance?
Even if you have secret thods, such a thing, how can a junior like you in the Entering Harmonization Realm possibly accomplish it?”
“That’s why I am proposing this to all the seniors here,” Lu Mingshu fearlessly t Supre Elder Ling’s gaze.
Supre Elder Ling scoffed in disdain; although she was Ling Wuxia’s aunt, their characters were entirely different, “Are you daydreaming?
Just because of your word, we should establish an alliance?
Do you know how many matters are involved in setting up an alliance?
Why should we do sothing completely without benefit?” It was almost as if she was pointing directly at her nose, questioning her audacity to even suggest this.
Lu Mingshu did not argue with her, instead, she looked at Supre Elder Shi, “There is soone better suited to answer this.”
“What do you an?
Speaking half sentences, it’s really annoying!” This Supre Elder Ling was indeed impatient.
Now that Supre Elder Shi was being looked at by Lu Mingshu, he had no choice but to step forward, “Alright, Ling, don’t make it difficult for a junior; indeed, we should be the ones to answer this.”
“Oh, I really want to see what kind of ivory can co out of your dog’s mouth!”
…
Discussing this matter was not simple, especially such a significant issue that involved so many sects.
The sun was about to set, and they had only just started discussing—continuing to argue without any substantial progress.
“Junior Lu!” Just when Lu Mingshu was about to leave, Kou Wei called from behind.
She paused and waited for Kou Wei to catch up.
“Junior Lu, the callias on my island are in full bloom; if there’s nothing pressing, perhaps you’d like to enjoy them?”
Lu Mingshu smiled, knowing full well this was just a pretext; Kou Wei had a belly full of questions and couldn’t wait to ask soone.
Just as she was about to agree, a voice suddenly interjected from behind, “Callias, I like them very much; Brother Kou Wei, you wouldn’t mind one more person, right?”
Slowly coming over was Gentleman Lianzhen.
Kou Wei saw him and smiled helplessly, “Alright.” Anyway, refusing was useless.
No sooner had they finished speaking than another voice joined in, “Brother Kou Wei, since there’s already an additional person, one more won’t hurt, right?”
It was Ling Wuxia approaching with a smile.
…
So, the private eting had turned into a group discussion.
When they returned to Kou Wei’s island, of course, there were no callias to be seen, only tea.
The four sat in the pavilion, sipped tea for a while, talked idly for a bit, and finally ca around to the main topic.
“Gentleman Lianzhen, is the situation truly so serious?”
Earlier, at the Calming Sea House, after Lu Mingshu had made her suggestion, Supre Elder Shi had taken up the topic.
During the trip to Beiming, Drug Lord, who had detained both Gentleman Lianzhen and Lu Mingshu, left behind a cauldron with a mysterious origin.
The cauldron seed to have a mass teleporting spell formation on it and, if decrypted, it might possibly connect to another place.
Judging by Drug Lord’s strength, his origin was from a place with a more advanced cultivation thod than Beiming; even soone like him, not appearing prominently, could enter the Spirit Realm with the help of external objects.
“I don’t know if it’s serious, but what Martial Uncle said is true.”
Kou Wei fell silent, and Ling Wuxia also rotated the teacup in her hands, having no intention to drink.
This matter shocked them more than the existence of the secret thods.
The appearance of the secret thods, although startling to people, was not without traces to follow.
Beiming had many legends, saying that before the ruler, there had been other civilizations, and the spiritual tools and peculiar magic that had been passed down were remnants from before.
However, later on, no one knew what occurred, but there was a disruption in civilization until the ruler appeared and reestablished it.
The secret thods in Lu Mingshu’s possession, known to people like Ling Wuxia, were probably related to god of sword Qiu Yu from Nanze; those who didn’t know guessed it related to ancient techniques.
But the information disclosed by Seven Truths Platform truly broke their fixed perceptions.
Outside Beiming, there might be other worlds, which many wise n had guessed, yet they were unable to cross the endless sea, so it remained just speculation.
Now, Seven Truths Platform laid this speculation before them.
What if Beiming truly could connect to other places?
What if other places had more powerful cultivation thods than Beiming?
Unknown power was terrifying, not to ntion being able to glimpse its potency.
Kou Wei thought deeply, feeling that this matter connected link by link, as if the heavens had given all the myriad creatures of Beiming a path to survival.
Lu Mingshu had obtained the secret thods, and Seven Truths Platform had discovered the existence of a passage.
If they were well-prepared, perhaps what awaited them was a broader world?
