I Have Infinite Systems In The Immortal World

Chapter 89 Scholar Long Ming And Couplet

Long Ming smacked his lips when he heard Ling Yuan. " Well, Pitting me against your own sect disciple. I wonder what Brother Ling is thinking?"

" What could I think?" Ling Yuan chuckled. " I mean, Why wouldn't I watch a match with you and Xu Jian?"

" Well, I guess you have already drawn everyone's attraction toward me."

Long Ming laughed as he looked at his surroundings. People already started to notice Long Ming's presence.

But his presence was not something he could hide anyway unless he activated his concealment.

A light blue dress with white cloud patterns, it was like the sky of winter with clouds showering snow. With his long hair tied with a sword hairpin and eyes like an azure pool of water, Long Ming looked like a heavenly noble.

Liu Jiang walked to Long Ming and cupped his before Long Ming. " I am Liu Jiang, the second young master of the Liu Family. This fellow brother…"

" I am Long Ming from Four Seasons Valley."

Long Ming folded his paper fan as he replied with a calm face.

" Four Seasons Valley?"

Many of them became shocked when they looked at Long Ming. Liu Jiang was also surprised. " Fellow brother is a disciple of Four Seasons Valley?"

" Apparently." Long Ming let out a light laugh. " I guess many people are going to be jealous by seeing a male disciple in a female sect?"

" Haha, Fellow brother Long is pretty… straightforward."

" I rarely talk in a roundabout way." Long Ming chuckled. Ling Yuan looked at Long Ming as he spoke.

" Since you are here, How about Brother Long shows his calligraphy talent? I am sure you are pretty well versed in four arts."

" I can't understand the eagerness of Brother Ling." Long Ming's eyes narrowed. " If Brother Ling remains dishonest, I won't participate at all."

" Alright, How about we have a bet?" Ling Yuan finally showed his true colors. " Twenty jars of your personally brewed Song of Summer and Winter along with Two painting commissions. And both paintings should be at the Visualization stage."

" Haha, My wine? Why? Is Eternal Spring Tower not selling the Song of Summer and Winter?" Long Ming laughed.

" Pei, I don't like those diluted water after tasting the real deal. I know you have a good amount of wine. And, I want it." Ling Yuan spoke.

Liu Jiang was shocked when he saw the attitude of Ling Yuan. Who was Ling Yuan? One of the topmost Core Disciples of Six Sword Pavilion. His sword comprehension was said to be one of the best in the entire Eastern Province.

Not only he comprehended Sword Intent at an early age, but he also has a Royal grade physique called Sky Fighting Royal Body.

" Alright, Xu Jian, Come here for a moment."

Long Ming looked at Xu Jian, who looked like a boy of sixteen years old. There was still a childish aura around him. But Long Ming realized that he already reached the peak of True Formation Realm and comprehended Sword Intent.

" He is Xu Jian, My Junior brother and the son of Sect Master of the Six Sword Pavilion. Along with his sword art, he is also a monstrous talent in calligraphy."? Ling Yuan introduced.

The Daoist Windwalk got up as he rubbed his beard. " Haha, This little fellow is indeed a genius. I doubt there are many who can match his sword calligraphy technique."

" Xu Jian greets Brother Long Ming." Xu Jiang cupped his fist. Long Ming chuckled.

" Hmm, I guess you are confident in Xu Jian, Eh?" Long Ming smiled. " I don't think I can back away now."

" Huh? What's happening?"

" Xu Jian of Six Sword Pavilion is going to have a calligraphy match with that young man of Four Seasons Valley."

" What? That person is from Four Seasons Valley?"

" Damn it, Such a handsome bastard in Four Seasons Valley. What luck."

Long Ming took his seat as he looked at Xu Jian. " Fellow Daoist Xu, you can go first."

Xu Jian stood up as he held his sword hit. With a sudden flash, he drew out his sword. The sword intent turned pitch black as it splattered on the paper. However, the mindless splatter slowly converged into beautiful words.

[ A mountain of books has a way and diligence is the path]

Suddenly, Everyone could feel a scholarly, and righteous aura from the letters. It depicted a scholar's life and the art of learning.

Long Ming took out his Treasured Jade Brush as he gently grounded his Five Elemental Inkstone. Unlike Xu Jian's flashy method, Long Ming grinding the inkstone was much more serene and tranquil.

Along with his Desolate Immortal Aura, each of his movements looked connected with heaven and earth.

Dipping his brush in the ink, Long Ming started writing. His strokes were slow and measured carefully. But Long Ming's expression was calm with a light smile.

[ The sea of learning has no end and hard work is the boat.]

The Five Elemental Ink gave off a shining light Long Ming's words gave off a powerful aura. It looked like each word became a painting itself.

If Xu Jian's couplet looks like a big library of books, then Long Ming's couplet would make someone feel like they are amidst a sea of books. There is no end to learning. Only with hard work and perseverance, one can only traverse this endless sea.

" He… He matched the couplet!"

" His intent is stronger than Xu Jian's couplet."

" Two Visualization grade couplets at the same time."

For Dao of Painting and Dao of Calligraphy, one can only create visualization when they reached the intent stage and are able to draw using their intent. The intent resonated with the law of heaven and earth and shows effects under everyone's eyes.

Xu Jian raised his eyebrows as he looked at Long Ming. " That's interesting..

He threw the teacup in front of him and slashed out his sword. Using the sword as a brush and tea as ink, he created another couplet on another piece of paper.

[Distance tests a horse's strength]

This couplet contained Xu Jian's sharp sword intent along with a tremendous force, akin to a wild horse running.

Long Ming's Scarlet Yang Qi flowed as the crimson qi turned into a crimson liquid for Long Ming as he wrote his answer.

[Time reveals a person's heart]

Like a rising sun, the crimson word bore an aura of flame and yang energy, making its surrounding warm.

Xu Jian laughed out loud as he looked at Long Ming. " Fellow Daoist Long, I guess Senior Brother Ling's evaluation of you isn't overestimated at all."

" Very well, This one will determine the winner and loser." Xu Jian's sword shone as the sword intent erupted.

" This is our sect's sword technique, Nine Clouds Imperial Sword Art. Let's see if you can outmatch my comprehension."

His sword moved as he didn't use any ink this time. The sword intent filled with a sharp light as Xu Jian slashed at a stone slab. The sword intent cut the stone slab as words emerged.

Sword energy spans heaven and earth,

Fearless courage clears the path ahead.

Sword glimmers, sword shadows dance,

With a chivalrous spirit and tender heart, forge a noble soul.

The words shone with terrifying sword intent. It condensed from the entire power and comprehension of Xu Jian. If the sword intent is released, it can even harm a Primordial Spirit Realm cultivator.

" Damn, Nine Cloud Imperial Sword Technique is one of the Royal grade techniques of Six Sword Pavilion. He already reached the Minor Completion at True Core Formation Realm?"

" Genius! Truly a Genius!"

Long Ming laughed as he got up. " Very well. I have seen the nine Cloud Imperial Sword Technique. But, I hope you can also see this…"

Suddenly, A four colored qi erupted around Long Ming as it swirled around his brush. A blazing qi, a gentle qi, a freezing blue qi, and a qi filled with fragrance and blossoms, all appeared around Long Ming.

" This… This the technique of Four Seasons Valley?"

" Such a powerful aura!"

Suddenly, the four colored qi congealed in Long Ming's jade brush as he used it to write his answer.

Emerald hues adorn the spring forest's beauty,

Summer waters ripple, weaving a silken dance.

Autumn moon and crisp breeze chant ancient verses,

Winter snow dresses in silver, inspiring poetic hearts.

Long Ming used the Four Seasons Flowing Energy Art and used four type of qi at once to write them. Thanks to his heavenly comprehension, he managed to create the maximum impact.

In a single couplet, he managed to represent the entire Four Season Valley, and in a better manner.

Everyone felt the words filled with multicolor radiance as they gave off a mysterious feeling. One can feel the presence of all four seasons when looking at them.

Not to mention, the moment they appeared, they affected the surroundings, stirring the true qi of the atmosphere. Suddenly, the words turned bright as colorful phenomenons appeared around it.

Xu Jian was shocked when he saw that. With a mild smile, he bowed. " Brother Long's wisdom is magnificent. I admit my defeat."

"Brother Xu is overdoing. It was a tough match." Long Ming spoke. " Your sword is more scholarly and filled with righteous energy. If Brother Xu can cultivate a righteous heart, you might reach the Sword Heart Realm faster than you can think."

" Righteous heart… Righteous heart…"

Xu Jian mumbled as his eyes shone with a bright light. " I understand. Thank you, Elder Brother Long. Your guidance gave me enlightenment."

Suddenly, a sword appeared on the ground as he stepped on it. Without explaining anything, he rode his flying sword and vanished.

Ling Yuan was stunned when he saw the scene. Long Ming laughed as he patted on his shoulder.

" Well, Since I won… Shouldn't you give me something in return?"

" Haha, About that…" Ling Yuan sighed.

Liu Jiang was stunned when he looked at Long Ming. Without enough comprehension and strength, a lower rank cultivator couldn't write such words, because the true qi in their body won't support it.

Long Ming must be a powerhouse who is hiding his cultivation.

" Fellow Daoist Long, You are indeed a great scholar. May I invite you to stay in Liu Family's residency?"

Long Ming chuckled when he heard that. " Is that so? But I am afraid I can't accept that. I don't think Four Seasons Valley is welcomed by Liu Family. Haha, even guards at the gate dare to disrespect us."

" We are happy in our accommodation in Golden Flower Inn. But thanks for your invitation." Long Ming turned around and looked at Ling Yuan.

" Brother Ling, Let's have a drink in private."

Liu Jiang's expression turned stiff when he realized Long Ming ignored him.

' Damn it, Who annoyed him at the city gates?'
