Chapter 364: Chapter 364

"Right, when this matter is settled, you must begin seclusion training and achieve a breakthrough to Late-Stage Immortal Grade!"

Chen Xuan admonished him.

It felt like ever since he returned to the rMolan Mansion, his cultivation had slowed significantly.

He had been away for so long, in seclusion for half a month, yet only barely sensed anything.

This boy has hardly made any progress.

"Uh... Understood, Master!"

Qin Ke bowed his head, feeling bitter. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to cultivate; it’s just that the matters of the Three Judicial Departments had been almost entirely his responsibility recently.

Zong Peng had been in seclusion all this time.

Later, even Lord Zongzheng entered seclusion, leaving the entire Three Judicial Departments to him.

He had no other choice.

He had originally wanted to explain a few things to Chen Xuan, but after turning around to think, indeed, this isn’t a solution.

No matter what, one’s own strength is ultimately the most important.

What Master said was right.

Qin Ke brought the copied book to the Dark Moon Trading Company.

Led by Jiang Qi, he entered the inner room.

At this moment, an elder with white hair and a youthful face was sitting there.

"Elder, this is Qin Baiyi, the one I mentioned to you before!"

Jiang Qi introduced him respectfully in a low voice.

Qin Ke slightly bowed, looking at the elder with a solemn gaze.

Because the elder emitted no aura, simply sitting there and giving him a glance, Qin Ke felt immense pressure.

"So powerful, definitely not weaker than Lord Zongzheng!"

"You are too polite!"

Jiang Yudao chuckled, "Everyone, sit down, no need for such formality. I’ve heard about you. The Dark Moon Trading Company at rMolan Mansion will need your assistance in the future!"

"Senior’s words are too gracious!"

Qin Ke was very humble.

Could he not know the power of the Dark Moon Trading Company?

He was merely a minor figure in white!

How could he have such ability?

Jiang Yudao chuckled and said no more. For someone of his stature, a few polite words were sufficient.

Upon seeing this, Qin Ke took out the copied book from his bosom and handed it over with both hands.

"I trouble you, Senior!"

Jiang Yudao responded with a hum, took it, and turned to the first page.

However, upon seeing the characters on it, his expression immediately changed dramatically.

"Does Senior recognize it?"

Seeing this, Qin Ke promptly asked tentatively.

Jiang Yudao slowly lifted his head, staring blankly at him. Dıscover more novels at 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹⟡𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮⟡𝙣𝙚𝙩

After a long pause, he finally spoke, "This is an ancient script. This isn’t the original text, is it?"

The writing on the book looked like it had been written recently.

Moreover, the characters were jumbled, making it unreadable.

All indications pointed to it being a messed-up transcription.

Qin Ke nodded immediately. After all, there was no point in hiding it when it was already laid bare.

However, he explained, "This was given to me by a senior, so I’m not aware of the specifics."

"Oh? Then your senior was rather lucky!"

Jiang Yudao feigned surprise.

Yet after that, he did not continue to inquire, merely telling him to come pick it up in three days.

In response, Qin Ke expressed his thanks once again and then left the Dark Moon Trading Company.

After seeing him off, Jiang Qi immediately returned to the inner room, "Grandfather, is it truly an ancient script?"

"Of course, do you think Grandfather would speak nonsense?"

"Didn’t Grandfather show you a book about the origins of the Eastern Continent before, with those characters on some patterns, have you forgotten?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Qi slapped his forehead.

With a wry smile, he said, "I was wondering why it felt so familiar! So it’s that book!"

In truth, it wasn’t his fault; he had only casually flipped through a few pages back then, thought it was useless, and tossed it aside.

This explained why he had a vague impression but couldn’t recall the origin.

"However, there are quite a few characters here that even Grandfather doesn’t recognize!"

"What? Even you, Grandfather, don’t recognize them!?"

Jiang Qi was greatly surprised because he had reviewed all the collected works of the Dark Moon Trading Company over the years.

Even in the Great Yu Royal Family, his erudition isn’t necessarily surpassed by anyone.

If he didn’t recognize it, then likely no one on the Eastern Continent could.

"Truly wish I could see that book!"

Jiang Yudao’s eyes were filled with longing, having spent nearly all his life other than cultivation immersed in books.

It was for this reason he had a unique understanding of Martial Dao.

Hence, even if his power isn’t considered top-tier in the Dark Moon, his disciples scatter throughout it.

This explains why his position is so esteemed.

"Should I ask Qin Ke about it later?"

Understanding his grandfather, he naturally knew.

But since Qin Ke went to such lengths, the book must be extremely precious, so he could only try.

"No need, Grandfather has his own ways!"

Jiang Yudao was very confident.

If he wants to read a book, he will make it happen!

Back at the Chen Mansion.

Qin Ke recounted the whole sequence of events.

Chen Xuan nodded slightly, murmuring afterward, "Ancient script, is it? No wonder!"

"But if he wants to see the original, how should I respond?"

He asked because he noticed the elder’s expression when he saw the writing.

Chen Xuan rubbed his forehead; this was indeed troublesome.

After all, he still didn’t know what was written in the book. After a moment’s thought, he said, "Let’s wait and see!"

Qin Ying was feeling quite overwhelmed right now.

The Southern King over there kept pressing her; for such a long time, why were there still no news from the Ning Family?

The remaining time was running short.

She was urged to hurry; otherwise, when the time came, the treasure would be seized by Emperor Yu.

"Should I just capture him directly?"
