The visitor donned a Daoist robe of a mystical blend of black and white, presenting a slender figure, radiating celestial presence and Dao bone.

The stand-in State Preceptor, Jingming Daoist, appeared within the South Study.

Though his arrival was soundless, Zhang Jian felt a subtle awareness.

In response, he said:

"The opportunity is insufficient, alas, what can I do?"

This was certainly not beyond his ability to write.

If thoroughly articulated using the Dharma Gate born from his comprehension of the Vast Flame, it would result in a significant celestial phenomenon.

Even lead to changes in heavenly order.

This would reveal his position on the Path of the Saints and Sages without necessity!

Jingming Daoist gazed at the ten radiant characters, his eyes shimmering with light, he couldn't help but sigh.

"What a pity indeed!"

"But even just these ten characters suffice for Scholar Zhang to be compared with the few great Confucian scholars of our state!"

Jingming Daoist's expression held a smile, yet his gaze was exceedingly solemn.

Zhang Jian, having interacted with this stand-in State Preceptor frequently, knew that Jingming Daoist was not one for flattery, his words must be genuine.

"The State Preceptor is too kind!"

Zhang Jian shook his head.

"Scholar Zhang is too modest!"

Jingming Daoist smiled slightly, casting a glance at the script on the desk.

"Scholar Zhang, the light from these ten characters is bright and overflowing with divine charm, might you gift it to this humble Daoist?"

He couldn't resist directly requesting this script from Zhang Jian.

After a brief pause, he considered, and then took out a Jade Pendant from his robe, saying:

"This humble Daoist will not take your script for free. Here, I have brought a medicinal aromatic Jade Pendant, wearing it can calm the mind, nourish the body; consider it compensation!"

He handed over a Jade Pendant exuding the tranquil scent of sandalwood.

This item was a valuable gift from the State Preceptor to him, extremely precious indeed!

He was making a substantial offer!

Zhang Jian hesitated slightly and said:

"It's just a piece of calligraphy, not worth such a precious item. Since the State Preceptor likes it, take it!"

Pausing slightly, a smile appeared in Zhang Jian's eyes as he spoke:

"These things don't mean much to me, if the State Preceptor feels sincerely indebted, you could send some scriptures from Dong Shen Temple!"

Of course, I have no intention of peeking into your sect's secret texts, scriptures will do!"

Jingming Daoist did not suspect anything, after brief consideration, nodded in agreement.

"This matter is indeed simple!"

However, he left the Jade Pendant behind and gracefully departed.

Such a script may not be significant to Zhang Jian, casually written, yet to him it was priceless!

Do not be casual just because the other person is polite!

Jingming Daoist's visit primarily aimed to seek a script from Zhang Jian.

Zhang Jian casually picked up the medicinal aromatic Jade Pendant from the desk; this medicinal aromatic Jade Pendant was refined using a special formula with magical power, combined with the concept of jade nourishing the human body, maximizing its effects.

With a simple magical power invocation, Zhang Jian could smell the flowing calm fragrance.

It was the scent of Nourishing Spirit Incense, this jade could strengthen the soul, enhance the Yin Spirit.

Indeed, very precious.

A slight smile appeared in Zhang Jian's eyes.

Possessing Vast Righteous Qi, if utilized well, it could be a trump card, especially for cultivators within and beyond the court.

He could seize this opportunity to delve into other court's internal libraries not open to the public.

Meanwhile, he gazed towards Dong Shen Temple.

He had always been unable to discern Jingming Daoist's Dao Practice, yet now felt a subtle insight.

Jingming Daoist was likely still some distance away from becoming a Primordial Spirit Master.

His Daoist Technique was not completely integrated, although he moved soundlessly, Zhang Jian's sharp eyes sensed many flaws.

"No wonder he can't control the situation, perhaps there's dissent within Dong Shen Temple?"

...

After obtaining the script from Zhang Jian, Jingming Daoist hurried back to Dong Shen Temple.

At this moment, he arrived before a temple residence.

Here, another Daoist nun was in solitude, with a slender form, graceful figure, her jade countenance extraordinarily beautiful, the loose Daoist Robe couldn't conceal her enchanting curves.

"Aunt Master!"

Seeing this enchanting figure, Jingming Daoist's tense expression now carried a hint of smile.

"Jingming, how come you have time to visit my Lan Yue Residence today?"

This Daoist nun wasn't just anyone, but a cultivator from the Dong Generation, counted as the youngest among the Dong Seven.

Jingming Daoist gazed at this Aunt Master Dong Jue with a hint of closeness, speaking directly.

"Aunt Master, are you planning to go into seclusion soon for attempting Pill Break Divinity Transformation?"

At his words, Dong Jue Daoist's phoenix-like eyes showed some surprise, then she nodded.

"Jingming, your information is indeed accurate, I've cultivated in the Golden Core Realm for over a century, my Pill Qi is now perfect, indeed it's at the verge of Pill Break Divinity Transformation, I feel I can attempt it now!"

Dong Jue's eyes carried a decisive look, she planned that if Jingming Daoist came to dissuade her today, she would send him away right after.

In the Dong Generation Seven, five had already reached the Yin Spirit Stage, supporting Dong Shen Temple.

Only Dong Ming and Dong Jue remained refining the Golden Core Realm.

Dong Ming's Dao Practice is one matter, Dong Jue's Dao Practice was already perfected, but due to an early incident, her Dao Heart still bore flaws, hesitant to challenge the Yin Spirit Realm lest the Heart Demon took advantage.

However, after Dong Shen Temple lost two senior brothers, Dong Jue Daoist felt the danger, decided now was the time to strengthen her resolve for an attempt.

"Aunt Master, you're still too rushed..." Seeing Dong Jue Daoist's stern expression forming, Jingming Daoist hastily added.

"Nephew knows Aunt Master's resolve to breakthrough, also knows he cannot obstruct your path, today's visit to the court was to acquire something for Aunt Master which might offer aid!"

His face showed threads of smiles, casually taking out the script in hand.

"Aunt Master, please take a look!"

Upon hearing, Dong Jue Daoist's dazzling eyes moved, accepting easily; merely unfolding the script slightly, her captivating eyes revealed a glimmer.

As a cultivator in the Golden Core Realm, she clearly sensed the vibrant and intense light exuding from the script.

This bright light seemed to charge directly at her heart, capable of burning away all distracting thoughts, soothing soul and divine scars.

"Heaven and Earth have Righteous Qi?"

Just one glance made Dong Jue Daoist aware of the script's immense benefit in calming her heart, resisting Celestial Demon.

This was indeed the unparalleled Magical Treasure for navigating heart devil tribulations.

"Where did this script originate?"

Curious glimmers couldn't help but swirl in Dong Jue Daoist's eyes.

A script imbued with Vast Righteous Qi is extremely rare, typically associated with ancient sages; once found, even many High-tier Cultivators personally pursue collecting them.

How could there be any left for them?

Yet, looking at the script's writing, clearly, it was freshly penned!

With no signs of age!

"It is the work of Scholar Zhang from the Sports and Arts College!"

Jingming Daoist casually recounted the process; his eyes also bore a hint of smile.

Though a disciple of Dong Shen Ancestor, he had been raised by Dong Jue Daoist from youth; her position in his heart far exceeded other elders, as mentor and mother alike.

"Exchanging sect classics for this precious manuscript feels like Dong Shen Temple got the better of this Champion Scholar, once I break through, I must personally go express my gratitude!"

Jingming Daoist, hearing these words, nodded with a smile.
