Simultaneous Time Travel: Living in the Primordial World, Freebies Welcome!

Fuzhou is getting more and more lively lately!

For some unknown reason, Lin Zhennan, the chief镖头 (bodyguard/escort) of Fuwei镖局 (escort agency), exhausted the agency's manpower and resources, spent a fortune, and spared no expense to search for Taoist and Buddhist scriptures from all over the country.

A family that had fallen on hard times had a fragment of the "Zhenghe Wanshou Daozang" in their possession, which was then bought by the Fuwei Escort Agency for 100 taels of silver, thus sparking a wave of acquisitions of Daoist and Buddhist scriptures.

Countless bodyguards from the Fuwei Escort Agency traveled back and forth, urgently delivering countless Taoist and Buddhist scriptures, rare and secret books, and lost fragments to Fuzhou City. For months on end, they worked day and night, and the horse tracks on the main road outside Fuzhou City became a continuous stretch.

Fuwei Escort Agency, Library.

The various books that were urgently sent from all over the country were piled up to be as high as two stories. In order to ensure the safety of the collection, Lin Zhennan had to have Lin Pingzhi lead a group of guards to watch over it day and night to prevent any unforeseen events.

More than 300 volumes of books were presented to Qian Chen for his perusal every day, and the notes he copied, compiled, and organized amounted to hundreds of thousands of words.

Inside the library.

Qian Chen leaned over the desk, his hand moving swiftly and skillfully as he copied the "Inscription on the Circulation of Qi," a text that had been passed down since the pre-Qin period.

On the other side.

Yue Lingshan had already discarded her disguise, taken off her coarse clothes, and put on an apricot-pink palace dress, restoring her youthful and pretty appearance. Her slender hands, like butterflies fluttering among flowers, were cooking the finest Mingqian Longjing tea, a tribute to the imperial family.

Glug glug—

The golden threads and silver charcoal flickered with pale blue flames. When the spring water in the purple clay teapot boiled and three bubbles appeared, Yue Lingshan quickly poured the boiling water into the teapot.

Warm the teapot, place the tea leaves, warm the cups, pour from a high position, and smell the aroma...

The entire operation was performed flawlessly.

"Young master, please have some tea!"

Yue Lingshan respectfully offered the brewed fragrant tea, then turned around and walked behind Qian Chen, skillfully extending her soft, boneless hands to gently massage Qian Chen's shoulders and neck.

So here's the question!

Why has Yue Lingshan become so obedient and well-behaved?

This brings us back to the deduction of the Nine Yin Manual!

With the wisdom and inspiration of a true immortal, Qian Chen's desire to replicate Huang Shang's self-created Nine Yin Manual was certainly not unfounded.

The only difference between the two is the incomplete Zhenghe Wanshou Daozang, which has been incomplete since the Jin and Yuan dynasties.

Even if the Daoist scriptures collected by Lin Zhennan are incomplete, Qian Chen can use the immortal scriptures learned by the True Immortal Masters to complete them. He cannot guarantee that the Nine Yin Manual he created is exactly the same as the one created by Huang Shang, but his cultivation intention is definitely a notch higher than Huang Shang's back then!

Just then, Qian Chen was sorting through the Daoist canon and had just comprehended a technique called "Soul Transfer Technique" based on his memories from before he transmigrated.

Yue Lingshan, however, began her usual sarcastic and witty remarks.

In a fit of anger, Qian Chen...

They then directly used Yue Lingshan as a guinea pig.

She used it to try out her newly created "Soul Transfer Technique".

Let's give it a try!

Yue Lingshan has become like this!

With Qian Chen's soul now strengthened by the True Immortal Origin, even if he immediately dispelled the Soul Transfer Technique after the experiment, he still left an indelible mark on Yue Lingshan's young mind, causing Yue Lingshan to become hopelessly infatuated with him from then on!

"Young master, although the Qi Circulation Manual is said to be a breathing technique passed down from the pre-Qin period, in essence it is nothing more than a rudimentary method of cultivating Qi. Even with years of practice, it can at most only promote health and prolong life. Any third-rate martial artist who has practiced fist and foot techniques for a couple of years would not bother to cultivate such a rudimentary mental technique."

Yue Lingshan glanced indifferently at the Qi-Tracing Inscription that Qian Chen had placed on the table, clearly not taking this skill seriously.

"When Huashan disciples first enter the sect, they are not taught internal skills. Instead, they first practice horse stance with their master to strengthen their constitution, and then gradually learn the basic methods of regulating breathing and cultivating qi sensation."

"If you wish to learn advanced internal martial arts, young master, I can teach you the closely guarded secrets of the Huashan Sect, the 'Hun Yuan Gong'!"

Ahem~ Sect Leader Yue, your little darling is letting in the cold!

But it suits Mr. Qian's taste perfectly!

Qian Chen picked up the pre-Qingming Longjing tea from the table, took a small sip, and the rich aroma of the tea instantly filled his mouth.

"Great tea! Lingshan, your tea-brewing skills have improved!"

Hearing the praise, Yue Lingshan smiled and replied shyly, "Hehe~ I'm glad you like it, young master!"

Qian Chen gently patted Yue Lingshan's small hand, signaling her to stop the massage. His gaze fell on the Qi cultivation inscription on the table, and he said softly, "Internal cultivation techniques originate from ancient times!"

"Breathing techniques, ingesting elixirs, guiding qi, and visualization—these methods have existed for thousands of years since the time of the *Qi Circulation Inscription*!"

As the saying goes, a tree that can be embraced grows from a tiny sprout; a nine-story tower rises from a mound of earth; and a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.

"For the past ten months, I have been reading various classic texts day and night, and now I can say that I have gained some understanding. The way of martial arts should not be about competing for victory and fighting one-on-one; this is not the true path of martial arts."

"If one wishes to display power and ferocity, naturally the more profound and powerful one's internal strength, the better. However, to attain the Great Dao, to defy fate, and to transcend oneself, one must seek answers from the wisdom of the ancients!"

Yue Lingshan seemed to understand but not quite, and paused for a moment, then asked blankly, "So, is this the reason why Young Master sent Old Lin and Little Lin to collect Taoist and Buddhist scriptures?"

Qian Chen threw his head back and laughed loudly, "That's not it!"

"Lingshan, have you ever heard of the Nine Yin Manual?"

Yue Lingshan blinked and lowered her head as if deep in thought.

"The Nine Yin Manual? My father has mentioned it."

"It's said to be a top-tier martial arts manual, related to five legendary masters from the Song Dynasty known as the Five Greats. Rumor has it that it caused quite a stir in the martial arts world back then!"

These are things that ordinary people in the martial arts world might not know.

But Mount Hua is a prestigious sect with a history spanning hundreds of years, so it obviously has some knowledge of these old stories about the martial arts world.

"The Nine Yin Manual is a set of unparalleled martial arts that Huang Chang, a compiler of the Imperial Library during the reign of Emperor Huizong of the Northern Song Dynasty, comprehended from the Zhenghe Wanshou Daozang. It is no exaggeration to call it the number one martial arts treasure in the world at that time."

"The reason I asked Lao Lin to collect Taoist and Buddhist scriptures was to repeat what happened back then, and to use the Wanshou Daozang to deduce the Nine Yin Manual again."

Yue Lingshan looked at Qian Chen tenderly, her bright eyes sparkling. "Wow, young master, you're amazing!"

It has to be said, this little girl has an amazing emotional value!

Qian Chen smiled and gestured for them to keep a low profile, "Keep it down, keep it down!"

The two were chatting happily when suddenly a series of hurried footsteps came from outside the library, followed by Lin Pingzhi's voice from outside the door: "Brother, Pingzhi requests an audience!"

Qian Chen gave her a wink, and Yue Lingshan understood immediately. She took a few light steps and opened the door.

Lin Pingzhi smiled and bowed to Yue Lingshan, saying respectfully, "Pingzhi greets Sister Lingshan. I hope you are well."

Yue Lingshan nodded slightly, then stepped aside.

"Pingzhi seems to be in a hurry; I wonder what has happened?"

Lin Pingzhi walked quickly into the house, bowed respectfully to Qian Chen, who was seated at the head of the table, and replied:

"Reporting to my elder brother, according to reliable sources, Yu Canghai, the leader of the Qingcheng Sect, went to Hengshan City alone, claiming that my Lin family has sided with the Sun Moon Demonic Sect and used conspiracies to kill his Qingcheng disciples. He intends to take advantage of Liu Zhengfeng's retirement from the martial arts world in Hengshan to invite various sects to help him seek justice for his Qingcheng Sect..."
