Chapter 786: 316. Dragon Tiger Mountain Three Arrows Fired (Two-in-One Chapter)

Lei Jun waved his hand, and the scribbled papers before him were immediately and properly put away.

The brilliance flowing from the Heaven-piercing Earth-penetrating Taliscript within his pupils momentarily receded.

As Lei Jun’s own cultivation and strength improved, the effects of his Heaven-piercing Earth-penetrating Taliscript became increasingly mystical.

Ye Feishan was at the same cultivation level of the Eighth Heavenly Layer. He used the Seeing the Words as if Seeing the Person Technique to communicate. Yet, without Ye Feishan realizing it, Lei Jun could quietly become informed of his messages.

However, for such a method to work, it still required both parties to be within a certain distance.

And currently, its effectiveness was limited to the Nanzong Lin Clan and the Cangzhou Ye Clan.

To intercept the Seeing the Words as if Seeing the Person technique of other Confucian Cultivators, Lei Jun still needed to accumulate more knowledge.

"Hmm, there’s still room for further improvement and enhancement," he nodded repeatedly.

Lei Jun didn’t need to pay special attention to Ye Feishan.

As long as the distance between them did not exceed a certain limit, Lei Jun would naturally sense any activity from the other party.

He then continued with his previous routine.

While in the Imperial Capital, various social interactions were endless.

Although Lei Jun’s visit to the Imperial Capital Luoyang was for a specific public appearance, he himself was not keen on such social exchanges, maintaining only basic courtesies.

This was not surprising to outsiders.

Taoist Xuanxiao Zi from the Celestial Master Mansion had always given the impression of being composed and polite, yet aloof and detached. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

He never shirked his responsibilities, and his observance of etiquette was faultless.

But that was about it.

For now, it seemed Master Lei would not change his personal style, even if he might assume the position of Celestial Master.

The outsiders observing him, besides internally commending his unflappability, mostly used this to speculate about the future. They wondered, if there were indeed to be a Celestial Master Lei, what direction the entire Celestial Master Mansion would take.

How should their own factions determine and adjust their positions and relationships with such a Celestial Master and the Longhu Mountain Celestial Master’s Mansion?

Representatives of major factions in the Capital City relayed this information back to their respective sects or ancestral lands.

Lei Jun had a general idea about this but was not concerned.

Apart from basic interpersonal visits, he did not go out much.

Other than occasionally going to the Scholarly Mansion with Lin Shan, Lei Jun spent most of his time in Lianyun Temple, quietly contemplating the newly obtained Senluo Jade.

After a period of careful research, Lei Jun adjusted the initial ideas that had remained on paper, compared them with the actual Senluo Jade, and finally settled on a plan.

Then, Lei Jun began to take action.

In the quiet room of Lianyun Temple, he unfurled the Breathing Soil Banner and donned the Taiqing Eight Scenic Treasures Raincoat, completely isolating the interior from the exterior.

The Jade Sea Vermilion Brush, Superior Confucian Ink, Vast Integrity Paper, and the Moonlight Inkstone were laid out in a row before him.

Lei Jun did not touch these four types of Confucian Spiritual Objects directly with his Taoist Magical Power.

He first merged his own mana into the Senluo Jade.

The surface of the Senluo Jade immediately flickered with a dewy brilliance.

This radiance swirled and condensed into a beam that touched the Jade Sea Vermilion Brush.

After passing through the Senluo Jade, the Spiritual Power became moderate and gentle. When the brush was touched, it did not resist and immediately floated in mid-air.

Within the brush surged a vast amount of Spiritual Energy, automatically flowing out from it.

Then, under Lei Jun’s control, more jade light flew from the Senluo Jade, separately touching the Confucian Ink and the Confucian Inkstone.

The Confucian Ink immediately twisted and, in the next moment, unfolded, spreading out like black pine smoke that gathered without dispersing.

In contrast, the inkstone known as the Moonlight Inkstone reproduced the bright moonlight, making it seem as if a luminous full moon rose before Lei Jun.

The juxtaposition of the dense sea of ink and the cool moonlight made the black and white contrast even more distinct.

Soon after, the sea of ink merged directly into the moon.

The initially pure-white full moon seemed to have been dyed black at this moment.

Conversely, the originally pitch-black sea of ink began to radiate light.

The Jade Sea Vermilion Brush then plunged into it, rising and falling several times.

Eventually, the brush tip began to write continuously on the Vast Integrity Paper.

Numerous characters were written, but they did not form coherent sentences or passages.

At first glance, they appeared chaotic, but upon careful reading, one could discern a vast yet simple meaning from them.

Lei Jun watched patiently as, one by one, the sheets of Vast Integrity Paper successfully transformed into inscribed pages.

He was not a Confucian Practitioner.

Currently, he was mostly replicating the various Wenhua he had encountered over the past decades.

Once a great number of Vast Integrity Papers had all been turned into inscribed pages, it became clear that the resources were depleted. Not only had all the Vast Integrity Paper been consumed, but the Confucian Ink was also exhausted. Furthermore, the Jade Sea Vermilion Brush and the Moonlight Inkstone had lost their Spiritual Nature and become ordinary.

These writings and pages were then absorbed and drawn in by the remaining light of the Senluo Jade, ultimately merging completely into the Senluo Jade.

The Senluo Jade also changed as a result, no longer pristine and spotless.

Instead, its entirety turned black.

It was as if a vast amount of Literary Ink was stored within transparent white jade.

At a glance, its Wenhua was restrained and inconspicuous, but the Vast Integrity Qi hidden deep within was seemingly boundless.

Lei Jun, upon seeing this, nodded in satisfaction. "From today on, this treasure shall be known as the Vast Integrity Jade Kui."

He stood up and adorned himself with the dark-colored Precious Jade.

Master Lei’s entire demeanor changed in an instant, from an ethereal Taoist High Real to a broadly learned Great Scholar brimming with talent.

But he knew it was just superficial. "It just looks the part," Lei Jun laughed self-mockingly. "Playing the cultured person."

If the opportunity arose in the future, he even considered reshaping this Vast Integrity Jade Kui into a pair of glasses...

Lei Jun shook his head, reined in his wandering thoughts, and carefully examined the Vast Integrity Jade Kui.

With this treasure on him, to a certain extent, his own actions involving Taoist Magical Power would outwardly appear as Confucian Vast Integrity Qi.

At least, it looked the part.
