Chapter Thirty-Seven: Eight Minutes of Spiritual Energy

  The sun rises, Liu Yi Yang opens his eyes and is about to get out of bed when he suddenly freezes in place.

  The habit of many days made him think he was still in the dormitory, but forgot that he didn't go back to live in Ouyang Xuan's villa yesterday. But it has to be said that the bed here is much more comfortable than the high and low beds in the dormitory. Liu Yi Yang, who drove for an afternoon yesterday, fell asleep on the soft big bed after taking a bath.

  "Hey there, good morning!"

  As he entered the courtyard, Liu Yi Yang was strolling and admiring the flowers in the garden when a deep voice called out to him.

  After walking two steps, Liu Yiyang saw an old man wearing a white martial arts uniform behind several short trees. The old man was practicing Tai Chi, his movements were very slow, but gave people a very powerful feeling.

  "Do you always get up this early every day?"

  Mr. Ouyang Ming didn't show any surprise at Liu Yi Yang's appearance, and continued to practice his Tai Chi while smiling and asking a question.

  Liu Yi Yang nodded slightly, this was indeed his habit. Without any unexpected events, he would get up at this time every day. This wasn't a habit formed in university, but rather one that had been present since middle school.

  "There aren't many young people with good habits like you!"

  Ouyang Ming stood up straight after putting away his fists, and a woman in her fifties next to him handed over a towel. Ouyang Ming wiped his hands with the towel and returned it to the woman before calling out to Liu Yiyang to take a walk together.

  It's said to be walking, but actually it's just strolling in the garden.

  Ouyang Ming seemed to be walking very slowly, just like an old man strolling leisurely, but Liu Yiyang had to walk quickly to keep up, and he was also very surprised why it was so.

  "I know what happened yesterday, Xiaoxuan was too rash, I apologize on her behalf!"

  After hearing Ouyang Ming's words, Liu Yi Yang suddenly raised his head, with a look of confusion on his face. Yesterday's events seemed normal to him, and he didn't know why Ouyang Ming would say such things.

  Ouyang Ming looked at Liu Yi Yang and smiled again, seemingly aware of his doubts. He said in a low voice: "Although you have obtained the divine artifact's recognition and followed it, after all, you haven't come into contact with the Mystic Door, so you don't count as a Mystic Door person. You can only be considered an ordinary person. Xiao Xuan rashly brought you into Mystic Door matters, which was her mistake. Unfortunately, I didn't know about it; if I had known, I would have definitely stopped her!"

  "Mystic Gate?" Liu Yi Yang raised his head, and the confusion on his face intensified.

  Ouyang Ming smiled and continued, "Xuān Mén is a general term for people like us. Those wandering Taoist priests and fortune tellers on the streets also have some Xuān Mén people among them, but they are all scattered individuals who only understand a little bit of the surface through their ancestral origins!"

  Looking at Liu Yi Yang, Ouyang Ming said: "Even if it's just a superficial understanding of the skin and hair, in the folk there is also a very high prestige, but those who deceive and cheat are not counted, they are simply swindlers, absolutely do not belong to the mysterious gate!"

  The two of them walked like this, with Ouyang Ming constantly talking, mostly explaining some mysterious and profound things.

  Through Ouyang Ming's introduction, Liu Yi Yang gained some understanding of this so-called 'Mystical Gate World'. Not to mention the Jianghu scammers, those people who only knew a little about the surface from Ouyang Ming's mouth were actually masters who were highly sought after and trusted by officials and nobles in various places. There were many not only in mainland China but also in Hong Kong, Malaysia and Thailand.

  These people don't understand much, but at least they understand some, and can be considered as beginners in the mystic way.

  In fact, the Xuanmen was very brilliant in ancient times, but with the development of time and technology, the current Xuanmen has become much less prosperous. The true orthodox Xuanmen only has three major factions left.

  The Bagua Gate by the sea, the Tian Shi Gate of Longhu Mountain, and the Ma family of Beiwu Mountain are currently the only three orthodox Xuanmen sects in China. Apart from them, there are some other schools and families, but they are not regular inheritances.

  "Xiao Xuan said, you used something called Ling Qi to kill the zombies yesterday?" After saying this, Ouyang Ming suddenly changed the subject and brought up what happened yesterday.

  "Yes!" Liu Yi Yang hastily responded and detailed what happened yesterday.

  Why did that red light pillar appear yesterday, and why did the red light pillar have such a powerful force? Liu Yi Yang was completely confused and had no idea what was going on.

  These things, even Ouyang Fen can't explain, and only this old man in front of me can.

  After listening to Liu Yi Yang's description, OuYang Ming's expression became much more solemn. He pulled Liu Yi Yang directly into the garden's pavilion and they sat down together.

  The aunt had already prepared tea and snacks, and brought them all out.

  "Judging from what you said, I deduce that this is a divine artifact's automatic protection of its master, causing you to trigger part of the divine mirror's effect!"

  "Divine artifact protecting the master? Some of the functions of the divine mirror? Old sir, could you elaborate?"

  Liu Yi Yang hastily asked a sentence, the divine instrument protected this sentence is still easier to understand, not having eaten pork but having seen pigs run, Liu Yi Yang had also seen some, knowing that some spiritual things can protect their master, let alone the divine mirror being an ancient divine instrument.

  As for the partial function of the divine mirror, Liu Yi Yang was completely bewildered, this was also what he most wanted to know.

  "I don't know the specific situation either, I only know that the divine mirror is extremely powerful. The divine mirror is the biggest secret of our Bagua Gate, apart from some introductions, there are no written records about its specific functions, all these can only be explored by yourself!"

  When Ou Yangming said that, Liu Yi Yang's face revealed a trace of disappointment. If even Ou Yangming didn't know about it, then asking anyone else would be useless.

  Looking at his appearance, Ouyang Ming smiled again and said in a low voice: "Although there is no written introduction, our Bagua Gate has a wordless heavenly book. It is said that it can be used in conjunction with the divine mirror. Only the master of the divine mirror can see the content on the wordless heavenly book! I guess all the secrets of the divine mirror are probably on that wordless heavenly book!"

  "The Scripture of No Words!"

  Liu Yi Yang's eyes widened again, and his face regained hope: "Old man, can I take a look at that wordless heavenly book?"

  Liu Yi Yang looked at Ouyang Ming with full of expectations, the partial function displayed by the divine mirror had already changed Liu Yi Yang, giving him powers and abilities he never had before. If he could fully develop the function of the divine mirror, what would happen then?

  This Liu Yi Yang had already gotten rid of his initial worries about the divine mirror entering his body. He had completely accepted this divine mirror.

  It's not hard to understand that the changes brought about by the divine mirror are all good for him, allowing him to have abilities that others don't. At this time, Liu Yi Yang naturally yearned to learn more.

  "No!"

  Ouyang Ming smiled and shook his head, Liu Yiyang opened his mouth, with a hint of disappointment on his face.

  "It's not that I don't want to lend it to you, but the Wordless Heavenly Book disappeared along with the Divine Mirror back then. Xiaoyan found the Divine Mirror, but she couldn't find the Wordless Heavenly Book. Now, I also have no idea where the Wordless Heavenly Book is!"

  Ouyang Ming smiled and nodded, saying: "If you really want to understand everything about the divine mirror, I suggest you first find back the wordless heavenly book. Since the divine artifact has recognized you as its master, I believe the wordless heavenly book will not run away either, it will definitely return to your hands!"

  "Retrieve the Wordless Heavenly Book, what are the characteristics of the Wordless Heavenly Book?" Ouyang Ming's words gave Liu Yiyang renewed hope, and he hastily asked another question.

  "These aren't urgent, you'll naturally understand later, I'll have Xiaoxuan cooperate with you to search!"

  Ouyang Ming shook his head, the smile on his face grew even brighter, Liu Yi Yang didn't notice, Ouyang Ming's eyes sparkled with a hint of amusement when he spoke, flashing by in an instant.

  The two of them had breakfast together before Ouyang Xun lazily got up.

  Ouyang Huan didn't know what the two of them were talking about, nor was she interested in finding out. She started rummaging through food early in the morning, without paying any attention to the extra guest at home.

  Seeing her appearance, Liu Yi Yang couldn't help but shake his head and bid farewell to Ouyang Ming before returning to his own guest room.

  He originally wanted to go back to school directly, but was forced to stay by Ouyang Ming. He wasn't allowed to leave today and will have to wait until tomorrow to return to school with Ouyang Xuan for classes.

  He left his reason very simple, there are many Xuanmen books here, which can let Liu Yi Yang understand Xuanmen well. Since he became the successor of the divine weapon, it is impossible to avoid these things, and he will have to understand them sooner or later.

  Liu Yi Yang also thought this reason made sense, so he stayed behind as well.

  Back in his room, Liu Yi Yang's eyes naturally fell on the dragon-shaped jade pendant. This jade pendant had been placed on the table by him yesterday and was still there.

  Wang Yu Pei held the jade pendant, but Liu Yi Yang didn't know what era it was from or how much it was worth.

  After some thought, Liu Yi Yang focused his attention on the jade pendant, wanting to know these questions. The best way is to use the method of absorbing spiritual energy to estimate. As long as this jade pendant has spiritual energy, it must be an old thing. To determine how many years old it is, just look at the light circle it produces later.

  Soon, a red aura burst out from the jade pendant and poured into Liu Yi Yang's forehead continuously.

  There is spiritual energy emanating from it, proving that this is absolutely an antique.

  Liu Yi Yang, who was comfortably absorbing the spiritual energy, soon opened his mouth again. The spiritual energy emanating from the jade pendant had been going on for over three minutes, and there was no sign of it weakening or disappearing.

  Four minutes, five minutes.

  The jade pendant had already emitted more than five minutes of spiritual energy, and Liu Yiyang's mouth was open even wider, this was longer than the time it took for him to find the jade ring.

  Six minutes, seven minutes.

  It wasn't until seven minutes later that the spiritual energy of the jade pendant finally stopped. Liu Yi Yang had never seen a treasure emit spiritual energy for such a long time before.

  It took almost eight minutes for the spiritual energy to dissipate, and a thick layer of light appeared on Yu Pei's body.

  Judging from the patina on the item in the store, the thickness of this piece is similar to that of some ancient artifacts from the late Tang Dynasty. It's very likely that this is a jade pendant from the late Tang Dynasty.

  Tang Dynasty, Huaiwang?

  Liu Yi Yang shook his head and walked over to the computer beside him. He quickly opened it up and started searching online.

  Before long, the information of Huai Wang Li Qia appeared on the webpage. Unfortunately, there is little information about Huai Wang Li Qia on the internet, only knowing that he was a prince, but not finding out where and when he died.

  Liu Yi Yang was slightly disappointed, but only a little. Knowing that the Jade Pendant had a source, at least it had an origin, and with such a long history of spiritual energy, he really didn't know how much this jade pendant could be worth.
