Refining the Mountains and Rivers

Qin Yu tried his best to control himself. Without staring too much, he looked at Peachy and walked beneath the peach tree. "Perhaps fellow senior-apprentice brothers and sisters might not believe this, but the truth is that I do not know how I've obtained the power of space."

Seventh senior-apprentice sister suddenly blurted out, "Is it your bloodline?" Her eyes brightened as she looked closely at Qin Yu.

Peachy's eyebrows furrowed. If one didn't look carefully, it would have been almost impossible to discover. But as she looked at Cai Sang, she unexpectedly felt some inexplicable unhappiness.

Why was this? She restrained her thoughts, erasing any feelings she had and restoring her expression to its original indifference.

The eyes in the courtyard that looked at Qin Yu filled with some surprise.

That's right, the vast brightness was boundless and possessed countless trillions of lives. There was no shortage of talents amongst them.

Some were born with bloodlines that allowed them to resonate with space. There were indeed some races that were capable of grasping the Space Laws when they grew up.

These beings were incomparably scarce. But without exception, they all had astonishing growth potential. Basically, as long as they smoothly grew up, they would possess tyrannical strength.

Could this be the reason why their honorable master suddenly decided to accept a new little junior-apprentice brother?

Without allowing the senior-apprentice brothers and sisters to think more about this, Qin Yu said, "I am just an ordinary human. I don't have that kind of formidable bloodline."

As he spoke to here, the preparations were almost done. He suddenly raised a hand and pointed a finger forward.

Where his finger fell, waves spread out from his fingertip like ripples in the water, spreading through the courtyard.

This space fluctuation contained minimal lethality. The other peach garden disciples simply didn't even resist it, allowing it to spread over them.

Then, their eyes began to brighten.

White Phoenix's eyes were the brightest!

As someone who disliked lying the most, when he said that his power of space had crossed the threshold, he really had crossed the threshold. So, when Qin Yu's finger produced ripples, he was able to sense it even clearer.

These spatial fluctuations contained the power of space. This seemed like useless talk, but the key was here.

This was because the power of space wasn't always the same - the so-called different meant that these ripples weren't stimulated by just powerful forces, but also contained traces of a strange fluctuation.

"This…this is…" White Phoenix looked at Qin Yu with surprise.

No matter what he was thinking, Qin Yu directly nodded and said, "Third senior-apprentice brother has great eyesight! Long ago I inadvertently obtained a supernatural art called the Blue Point Finger. As my cultivation rose, I trained this supernatural art to increasingly higher levels until I reached the boundary of large success. It was after the supernatural art reached large success that I suddenly perceived the Space Laws and was able to control the power of space."

White Phoenix revealed a look of utter disbelief. His face immediately filled with amazement and he sighed with emotion, "Space mark…I thought this was something that only existed in legends, yet it truly did exist. Little junior-apprentice brother must have great luck to obtain this supernatural art so long ago."

He thought back to his years of painstakingly cultivating the Space Laws and yet finding it difficult to truly step through the front door. Yet, Qin Yu had cultivated a supernatural art and officially passed the threshold.

No, it wasn't just that. If someone could leave behind a space mark, they definitely weren't a common existence. Since Qin Yu fused with this mark, he was destined to progress upon the path of space by leaps and bounds, only pausing once he reached the level of the being who left behind this mark.

This was what third senior-apprentice brother envied the most!

The courtyard was silent. If even White Phoenix felt envy, then the others who hadn't even crossed the threshold of the Space Laws, not even having touched it, had even more heat in their eyes.

But whether it was envy or burning heat, nothing that appeared in anyone's gazes made Qin Yu feel restless.

Qin Yu's heart relaxed. He once again remembered Lei Xiaoyu's words. The peach garden was indeed different from the outside.

Cai Sang suddenly said, "Little junior-apprentice brother, did you call us here today to teach us this Blue Point Finger?"

Qin Yu nodded, "Yes."

Cai Sang covered her mouth and tittered, her laugh like the sounds of spring. "Little junior-apprentice brother, I'm liking you more and more."

Everyone was overjoyed.

If it could contain a space mark, then the Blue Point Finger inevitably contained the mysteries of space. After cultivating it, it would be greatly advantageous to them in perceiving the Space Laws.

Peachy suddenly said, "The Blue Point Finger is precious. Have you thought of a good price?"

When she finished speaking, she didn't look at the others as she got up and walked out.

A calm voice suddenly rang out, "Humph! Peachy is right. Your little junior-apprentice brother's supernatural art is indeed precious."

The peach garden disciples were startled. They rose up and bowed, "We greet teacher!"

The atmosphere was peaceful. Without any response, everyone waited a bit longer. When it was determined that their master's divine sense had retreated, they finally straightened their backs.

They had to have it!

With Peachy's reminder and master's personal endorsement, that meant Qin Yu's Blue Point Finger really warranted a high price.

But no one felt dissatisfied. Instead, their eyes shined with even more happiness.

Their master…might seem a bit eccentric at times, but he was still a solemn True Saint. He wouldn't speak out casually.

Since he said the Blue Point Finger was precious, it was definitely precious. After cultivating it, the benefits it would provide in perceiving the Space Laws would be even greater.

Following a short discussion, White Phoenix offered a number. When Qin Yu heard it, he suddenly felt some regret. If he knew that he could earn contribution points like this, why would he have taken on the task of cleaning up peach blossoms?

Once he earned a massive amount of contribution points and sent away his senior-apprentice brothers and sisters, Qin Yu seriously considered the possibility of not cleaning up the peach blossoms. But after some hesitation, he pressed this idea down.

The rules of the peach garden were that a person could do no tasks. As long as they had contribution points, they could stay in the peach garden just eating and waiting for death. But as long as someone took over a task, then unless there was some factor that was impossible to overcome, they could only grit their teeth and do it!

Forget it, there was no need to take risks for this. He wasn't familiar with the peach garden yet so it was best to be careful.

For the following period of time, Qin Yu passed his days quietly. Perhaps because everyone was busy comprehending the Blue Point Finger, no one disturbed him. Even Lei Xiaoyu who had said she would come and talk to him often didn't show up.

Qin Yu was happy and quiet. Apart from spending some time cleaning up peach blossoms every day, he was completely immersed in cultivation.

The more he listened to Old Turtle's explanations, the more he rejoiced at the fact that he listened to the little blue lamp's suggestion and risked danger to bring Old Turtle back to the vast brightness world.

This fellow was simply an encyclopedia of cultivation. At least in the aspect of the body of light and darkness, no matter what question Qin Yu asked, Old Turtle only needed to mull it over briefly before giving an answer.

Not only were the answers fast, but they were wonderful and complete. They often made Qin Yu feel enlightened, and his cultivation of light and darkness traveled 10,000 miles every day.

And this wasn't all there was.

Old Turtle's knowledge wasn't restricted to just the body of light and darkness. Or to be more precise, the cultivation of the power of light and darkness covered an extremely wide range.

It was like an intricate mixed-type problem. Only understanding one aspect of it wasn't enough. One had to master all aspects in order to gradually solve it and obtain the correct answer.

For Qin Yu, cultivating the power of light and darkness was like solving an incomparably complicated problem. The road ahead was long and the path was covered in endless clouds. But the feeling of tangibly improving every day and overcoming difficulties was wonderful.

In fact, he felt even more joyful and infatuated with this than with the matters between men and women. It was to the point where he couldn't extricate himself.

Old Turtle secretly smacked his tongue at Qin Yu's enthusiasm for cultivation. He thought that the gap between a normal person and a cultivator was as far as the sun and moon. It was almost unimaginable…but what should be admired should be admired.

With Qin Yu's age and achievements, being able to maintain such a firm and intense will to cultivate was incredibly rare.

Lei Xiaoyu finally came. But she didn't speak many words. She greeted Qin Yu and then left, saying that she had reached a critical moment in her cultivation.

The reason she came was to pass over the servants she had chosen for Qin Yu. She should have finished this long ago, but she had completely forgotten about it in her cultivation. So in a hurry, she finally sent over some people.

No more, no less, there were a hundred people.

All men!

Qin Yu's lips twitched. He thought that that girl was ruthless enough. Although he had no other ideas, looking at beautiful women was always pleasing to the eye and mind, right?

Whatever. In any case, if he wasn't cleaning peach blossoms he was cultivating. Even if an angel were placed in front of him, he wouldn't have the spare attention to look at them.

"We greet Ninth Mister!"

The hundred servants bowed.

Qin Yu nodded, "You all know what you need to do. It's fine as long as you don't disturb my cultivation." With this, he waved his hands and sent them away.

The peach garden servants were all excellent at their job, or perhaps it could be said that they were attentive. Qin Yu's life became more and more relaxed.

Besides cultivating and cleaning up peach blossoms, he had no need to pass down orders for other trivial matters before they were dealt with.

Moreover, the servants clearly remembered what Qin Yu said on the first day. Unless he were to say something, no one took the initiative to get in his way.

However, Qin Yu still discovered a minor secret hidden within the servants…there was a woman concealed in their ranks.

She had a superb method of covering up herself. If it weren't for Old Turtle's reminder, Qin Yu wouldn't even have paid attention as he was immersed in his cultivation.

This discovery left Qin Yu speechless for a while. He thought about how Lei Xiaoyu worked hard to choose a hundred men to be his servants, yet someone had managed to sneak their way in.

However, this was how things were.

It was just a woman. As long as she kept to herself and abided by the rules, Qin Yu would ignore her.

He didn't even have enough time to cultivate, so how could he worry about these other matters?

But just because Qin Yu didn't want to waste time didn't mean that events would unfold according to his will.

The woman who had mixed in with the crowd of men did have a hidden goal. But, it wasn't to tempt Qin Yu and climb onto his bed…rather, it was to take his life!
