Xia Yuqing's eyes turned wide in shock when she heard Long Ming's words.

" Disciple, Just because I have enough trust in you, I won't be castrating you instantly." Xia Yuqing's smile bloomed. " You have three seconds to explain yourself."

" Wa-Wait, Master, Let me explain!" Long Ming hurriedly got up as he could already feel a chilling murderous intent behind Xia Yuqing's smile.

" What I am saying is… Allow me to pass you the true Returning Spring Rejuvenation Flowing Energy Arts."

" Returning Spring Rejuvenation Flowing Energy Arts?" Xia Yuqing was startled. 

She remembered the time when she showed the Returning Spring Sword Arts to Long Ming for the first time and Long Ming asked that it was a bit weaker than the other three sword arts.

' The Returning Spring Sword Art and Flowing Energy Art was incomplete, making one's progress halt after a stage. Even though I tried to patch the technique with my own comprehension, I still couldn't reach the last step in the end.'

" Do you have the complete technique?" Xia Yuqing looked at Long Ming and asked.

" Well, I do have it…But I can't pass that to you." Long Ming started to look here and there. " I can only guide the circulation method through guiding your qi…Which requires me to touch your body."

Xia Yuqing looked at Long Ming with a placid gaze. " Why do I smell ulterior motives from you, Disciple?"

" That's baseless accusations, Master." Long Ming defended himself.

" Then hand over the complete technique." Xia Yuqing didn't beat around the bush. Long Ming gritted his teeth as he spoke, " Master, Asking for things without giving benefits isn't very good."

" Is that so?" Xia Yuqing narrowed her eyes. " Are you not harvesting enough benefits? Xiao'er, Chen Yin, Lin Xie, Ming Yuexin… Should I say more?"

" Well… You can't deny their strength also increased, Master." Long Ming felt his face burning, but he still kept on his thick skin.

" What a rebellious disciple! Eyeing on your master's body, Are you not ashamed?" Xia Yuqing couldn't help but blurt out. Long Ming was truly acting brazenly.

" Hehe, even if it was bound to fail, it didn't hurt to try, right?" Long Ming chuckled when he saw Xia Yuqing's glaring eyes.

" Anyway, I wish to speak something about this Returning Spring Flowing Energy Arts and Sword Technique." Long Ming's expression turned solemn. " In the secret realm, Fourth Prince Qin Chen tried to bait Senior Sister Mu to give the technique to him."

" And, I believe it's Sky Martial Tower who is supporting the Fourth Prince, or they supported, as that bastard is dead." Long Ming chuckled. " I believe they need this technique for a significant thing."

Xia Yuqing's expression turned serious when she heard Long Ming's information. " Are you sure? Sky Martial Tower is pulling the strings from behind?"

" I am 90% sure, Master. They are truly doing their best to harm Four Seasons Valley." Long Ming rubbed his chin. " And I am sure, Blissful Heaven Temple and a part of the Imperial Family are colluding with Sky Martial Tower and targeting the Four Seasons Valley."

" Haah, Those bastards. Even after years, they are not letting Four Seasons Valley have peace. Then we aren't going to be polite anymore." Xia Yuqing's eyes gleamed with coldness as she looked at Long Ming.

" Alright, Now hand over the technique."

" Master, You should let the disciple taste some honey, no?" Long Ming spoke in a pitiful voice.

" If you aren't willing to give me the technique, you are free to leave. I don't wish to waste time with you bickering." Xia Yuqing spoke in a calm voice.

Long Ming sighed as he passed the two techniques to Xia Yuqing. " You won, Master."

Xia Yuqing chuckled, the smile of victory was too obvious. However, seeing Long Ming, she still felt a bit of pity. 

' Why is he so…attracted towards me anyway? I am his master!' Xia Yuqing rubbed her shoulders as she couldn't help but get flustered.

" Ahem, Are you telling the truth…that you know how to massage?" Xia Yuqing looked away as she asked with a faint voice.

" Absolutely!"

Long Ming's stood up with excitement as he shouted. But the next moment, he fanned himself with his Plum Blossoms Fan as he regained his composure.

" Ahem, What I meant is… I am proficient in using various soothing methods that would drive away your accumulated physical, mental, and emotional fatigue."

" Your eloquence along with that face of yours, you are truly like a gentlemen hiding a knife in your heart." 

Xia Yuqing sighed. She was amazed to see how Long Ming buttered up his desires in such a professional way.

" Fine, I… I shall think about that in the evening." Xia Yuqing got up and turned around. " Other than those weird things, do you wish any other rewards from me?"

" Other rewards… For now, I have everything I need." Long Ming smiled. " If I need something, I shall ask Master."

" Very well, You can leave now." Xu Yuqing spoke with mild authority. Long Ming cupped his fist and walked out.

Xia Yuqing placed her palm on her chest as she could feel her thumping heart. Thinking about Long Ming's proposal, she couldn't help but blush.

" To think I, Xia Yuqing would take such a shameless disciple."

" Even if he is somewhat handsome, and eloquent…and have a great talent, comprehension, talent in alchemy and rune inscriptions and crafting treasure clothes and…'

Xia Yuqing felt a loss when she saw Long Ming's pros. Shaking her head hurriedly, she calmed her mind again. " Yeah, So what? He is simply too vulgar and lustful, a person with no shame."

" I guess I should talk with Mu Qinglian about this soon."

But she still fell into deep thought about whether she should allow Long Ming to *relieve her fatigue*.

" You finally came out." Jiang Wanxue glanced at Long Ming. " I thought you were going to imprison me here."

" I am a gentleman, Miss Jiang. I won't use such underhanded methods." Long Ming chuckled. " As long as both of us trust each other and cooperate well, I am sure both of us shall achieve our goals."

" You got a very smooth tongue, Young Master Long." Jiang Wanxue looked at Long Ming. " But I hope your words stay true when I ask your help in the future. The Imperial Family of Holy Qilin Dynasty is merciless, Young Master Long."

" I hope, You would pick the right side." Jiang Wanxue chuckled. " Oh wait, I guess you already picked a side."

" I have to admire your determination, Miss Jiang. Even after what I did with you, you are having your composure and talking with me reasonably." Long Ming glanced at Jiang Wanxue.

" Although I do have the urge to kill you, Long Ming, I believe you are more useful to me alive than dead." Jiang Wanxue looked at Long Ming with her usual calm expression. 

Long Ming felt Jiang Wanxue's brain wiring must be pretty peculiar. However, he could also feel that she could keep her head cool even in most adverse moments, giving her an edge to push back her enemies.

' No matter what, I need to stay vigilant while dealing with her.' Long Ming made a mental note about Jiang Wanxue.

" Very well, Since that's the case, I shall wait for you eagerly in the Holy Qilin City." Jiang Wanxue turned around to leave.

" If Miss Jiang wishes, you can stay in my room tonight. I am sure we can use this time to know each other closely."

Jiang Wanxue flushed as she glared at Long Ming when she heard that. " Don't push your luck, Long Ming. One more time and I will really pull out your tongue."

Saying that Jiang Wanxue disappeared as she turned into a gust of wind.

Long Ming chuckled as he returned to the Solitary Flower Peak. Sitting on his favorite spot, Long Ming glanced at the beautiful scenery before him.

Unlike other mountains, Solitary Flower Peak remained unused for years and no one came to live here. Unlike the other peaks that got taken care off, Solitary Flower Peak's beauty hides in its raw wildness.

" Oh my, The true qi around the Solitary Flower Peak… It's increasing. Could it be that Elder Hao already started to rearrange the Earth Spirit Veins?" Long Ming was ecstatic.

As long as the flow of heaven and earth's energy increases, the cultivation speed of Four Seasons Valley will also increase.

 And now, along with two powerful elders, Long Ming could at least stop worrying about the existential crisis of the sect.

" Let's keep Blood Tree Core to the side now. I already gained the comprehension of Ancient Runic Words Seal and Unity. And now, I finally got the remaining seven: Order, Chaos, Creation, Destruction, Illusion, Truth, Devour."

Seven scrolls appeared around Long Ming as he stared at each word with a serious expression. 

Even with his Heavenly Revelation Eyes and supreme comprehension, unraveling the profoundness of these nine words is simply a tedious task.

Yet, he can at least grasp the basics and incorporate them with his techniques and cultivation.

" Alright, Time to open the loot box." Long Ming rubbed his palms as his gaze fell on the Divine Grade chest.

[ Ding! Host opened the Divine Grade Chest!]

[ Host obtains Supreme Scripture of Myriad Physiques]
