"Master, you should open it and see for yourself!"
Qin Ke put on a mysterious air.
"Hehe!"
Chen Xuan chuckled, "You rascal!"
Then he slowly opened the box.
A yellowed book appeared in Chen Xuan’s view.
"A book?"
And it was evident that this book was quite old; not only were the characters on the cover blurred beyond recognition, but there were also nurous cracks.
It should be known that the paper used for making books in Great Yu was specially made and could be preserved for a millennium without issues under normal circumstances.
He looked up at Qin Ke, "What is this book?"
"I don’t know either!"
Qin Ke answered straightforwardly, but seeing Chen Xuan frown, he quickly explained, "This book was seen in an antique shop in a small county."
"According to the shopkeeper, it was left by a long-standing, prominent family that later declined and, in the end, ca into his possession."
"Just this book alone, apprentice spent ten thousand taels of silver!"
"Moreover, the shopkeeper wouldn’t even allow one tael less!"
Thinking of this, Qin Ke beca furious; that fat shopkeeper was truly stingy.
He didn’t want too much of a bargain, just a bit of a discount for courtesy since he was a decent figure.
But no way!
The fat shopkeeper recognized only money, not people.
The situation was so awkward that those who wanted to befriend him felt embarrassed at the ti.
Eventually, Qin Ke stopped talking and directly tossed a ten-thousand-tael note, took the book, and left.
"Ten thousand taels!"
Even Chen Xuan was startled by the price, for this tattered book?
"You’re truly wealthy!"
Chen Xuan also teased him.
"Master, isn’t this book quite ancient? I thought it might have sothing special, so I bought it! However, there is a trace of Spiritual Power on this book, and you know my Spiritual Power, only you can handle it!"
He’s not stupid!
This book not only looked ancient, but it also had Spiritual Power on it, making it absolutely extraordinary.
Of course, if it turned out to be a rip-off, he’d accept it.
Consider it as money thrown into the water; he didn’t lack it anyway.
"Hmm!"
Chen Xuan nodded slightly; Qin Ke was certainly not stupid, quite the opposite, he was shrewd, his earlier words had rely been banter.
A tendril of Spiritual Power extended like a finger.
Instantly, Qin Ke’s eyes widened, "Master, you...?"
"You need to push yourself, don’t wait until my Spirit Cultivation reaches the Late-Stage Immortal Grade and you are still in the mid-stage!"
Chen Xuan smiled, though it was ant to urge him on.
"A Master is always a Master; how could a disciple compare!"
Qin Ke couldn’t help but sigh.
And he swore, it was definitely not flattery.
Chen Xuan just smiled and his eyes flashed blue as he simultaneously employed Telepathy.
This book was too ancient, with trails of cracks; he was truly worried about making a mistake.
"Bang!"
Turning into fragnts.
Money wasn’t the issue; after all, it was sothing given by Qin Ke as a token of respect.
"Hmm?"
Chen Xuan raised an eyebrow.
"Such a complex Array!"
He couldn’t help but murmur to himself, he didn’t expect such a small book to have over ten thousand Arrays set upon it, intricately linked together.
If he hadn’t had Telepathy to see its essence.
To use a powerful Spiritual Power to break the Array, the book would instantly turn to dust, and the person wouldn’t feel good either.
"No, it’s too complex, need to be cautious!"
Chen Xuan withdrew his Spiritual Power.
"What happened, Master?"
Qin Ke asked in confusion upon seeing this.
"Too complex, I need Luan Ying’s help, have you been to the Three Judicial Departnts yet?"
"No! I ca straight here after returning!"
Qin Ke chuckled.
In his heart, nothing was more important than his Master.
"Alright, I know you’re filial, go to the Three Judicial Departnts, and co here tomorrow; if there’s anything you don’t understand, I will clarify it for you then!"
Although he had instilled all his cultivation insights in him.
But everyone’s comprehension varied, the Nine Elents Dao Skill was profound and enigmatic, and he likely hadn’t grasped much; otherwise, he wouldn’t still be unable to reach the Late-Stage Immortal Grade.
"Alright, then I will head to the Three Judicial Departnts first, Master... be careful!"
Qin Ke didn’t forget to remind him before leaving.
"Go, as if I don’t know!"
"Hehe!"
Even though he was scolded, Qin Ke left the study with a cheerful smile.
Chen Xuan shook his head and laughed.
This boy...although not particularly talented, his filial piety more than compensated for everything.
Then he ssaged Luan Ying, "Co to the Study Room!"
She imdiately opened her eyes during cultivation, looking perplexed.
Because Chen Xuan had never interrupted her during cultivation, so... it must be sothing important.
Hence, she imdiately got up and went to the Study Room.
"What happened, my husband?"
Luan Ying’s voice arrived before she did.
She walked hurriedly into the Study Room.
"Husband!"
"Look at you in a hurry!"
Chen Xuan looked at her dotingly, "It’s nothing major, just keep an eye on the sidelines later, assist if my Spiritual Power is insufficient!"
Upon hearing this, Luan Ying suddenly tensed up, "Ah... I’m afraid I won’t do well!"
She indeed only knew how to cultivate, rarely using Spiritual Power.
Just like a total novice among novices.
"It’s okay, don’t be nervous, just follow my instructions!"
Chen Xuan reassured her.
"Then... alright, I’ll listen to everything you say."
"Hmm!"
After nodding slightly, a stream of Spiritual Power erged, and Telepathy was once again activated.
Double effort!
Chen Xuan’s expression was extrely cautious, controlling the Spiritual Power as it gradually entered the Array’s periter.
Suddenly, the originally serene, yellowed book erupted into a dazzling blue light.
The entire study turned into a sea of blue.
"Crackle...."
Faint sounds echoed in the room.
