Chapter 288: Unraveling the Autumn Journey Scripture
Chapter 288: Unraveling the Autumn Journey Scripture
Placing the scroll on the writing desk, Su Chen and Autumn Frost sat side by side, with a slight gap between them.
Su Chen didn't waste time with small talk and began explaining from the very beginning of the scroll.
Autumn Frost, in her heart, wanted to use this opportunity to guide Su Chen and provide some cultivation advice.
She also wanted to remind Su Chen gently that cultivation required a gradual and systematic approach.
Although Su Chen's advancement from the initial seventh stage to the sixth stage exceeded her expectations, it was still far from reaching the Transformation Realm.
Su Chen could guess Autumn Frost's thoughts, but to save face, she chose to patiently listen to what Su Chen had to say.
Autumn Frost was still thinking about how to advise Su Chen.
But as she listened to Su Chen's explanation, she was stunned for a moment.
The opening explanation given by Su Chen was identical to her own understanding.
The words she was about to say were swallowed back as she realized the similarity.
Her expression gradually became more serious.
Su Chen, without any hesitation, shared her insights from the scroll at a steady pace.
The more Su Chen spoke, the more serious Autumn Frost's expression became.
Su Chen had only studied the Autumn Journey Scripture for eight hours, and she was only referring to the current scroll.
She hadn't even looked at the previous content.
Yet, Su Chen was able to explain the content on the scroll.
Autumn Frost couldn't help but ask a question, intending to challenge Su Chen slightly.
When she had studied the Autumn Journey Scripture before, this question had stumped her for a long time.
But Su Chen provided an explanation without hesitation.
Her understanding was even more comprehensive than Autumn Frost's.
At this moment, Autumn Frost no longer had any trace of disdain.
Instead of merely listening to Su Chen's explanation, she engaged in a discussion with her, seeking to resolve her own doubts.
Autumn Frost had been trying to comprehend the Autumn Journey Scripture on her own.
This advanced cultivation technique had numerous complexities.
She had even discussed it with her family elders.
However, in the end, she couldn't understand certain parts, and neither could they.
It seemed that even the aspects she had grasped were beyond the comprehension of her elders.
Discussing it with them felt like a waste of time.
But in her conversation with Su Chen, the points that had puzzled her for so long were effortlessly clarified by Su Chen.
Earlier, when Su Chen noticed Autumn Frost's weakness, she had inferred that there might be an issue with Autumn Frost's cultivation.
There was a step where a mistake had been made, leading to subsequent errors.
"I always thought that the direction was wrong, so I sought a solution to rectify it.
But now it seems that this is the critical point for breaking through the impasse.
The discomfort in my body is not an issue."
As Autumn Frost spoke, her slender fingers gently tapped on the scroll, adding a touch of cuteness to her demeanor.
During their conversation, Autumn Frost's trust in Su Chen's opinions grew.
Their discussion deepened, and they unconsciously moved closer, their arms touching.
Feeling self-conscious, they quickly moved apart, only to find themselves leaning in again as the conversation became more engaging.
After a few instances of this, both Su Chen and Autumn Frost seemed to silently accept the proximity.
Their arms made fleeting contact, almost as if by accident.
They continued their conversation, eyes fixed on the scroll before them.
As night fell, the sky grew darker.
Autumn Frost's maid entered, carrying a candle lamp.
The two of them, catching a glimpse of her in their peripheral vision, subtly shifted apart, no longer sitting as close as before.
Their conversation flowed without pause, just as it had before.
The maid placed the candle lamp on the side table and then brought in some dishes.
She set them on the tea table, completing her tasks before quietly leaving the room.
As the maid exited, the two of them glanced at each other, both feeling a little awkward.
Like a child caught doing something wrong.
The two remained silent for a long while before Autumn Frost finally spoke, inviting Su Chen to have a meal together.
Autumn Frost glanced at Su Chen several times.
Su Chen's performance today truly astonished her.
The Autumn Journey Scripture was so difficult, yet Su Chen understood it within a few hours.
In her heart, Autumn Frost had already raised her expectations of Su Chen, but he still exceeded her imagination.
Originally, Su Chen had only saved her life.
For this life-saving favor, Autumn Frost felt that she would need to exert a lot of effort to repay him.
This life-saving favor was not yet repaid, and she had also received guidance from Su Chen.
After the meal, Su Chen continued to explain the Autumn Journey Scripture to Autumn Frost.
He explained the entire volume to Autumn Frost in detail.
Compared to the explanation during the day, this time, Autumn Frost did not interrupt Su Chen.
She allowed Su Chen to explain everything in one go.
Listening to Su Chen, Autumn Frost realized that the overall content formed a systematic approach.
All the possible difficulties that might arise, Su Chen had already pointed them out in advance.
Compared to her asking questions one by one, it seemed that listening to it this way made it easier to understand.
Su Chen explained the entire Autumn Journey Scripture, sharing his complete understanding with Autumn Frost.
There were many similarities between Su Chen's explanation and Autumn Frost's own thoughts.
However, when listening to it as a whole, it seemed to be a different cultivation method.
Moreover, compared to the path she had taken, this method seemed like a smooth path.
Some of the questions that she couldn't understand before were also clarified by Su Chen's words.
In her heart, Autumn Frost's confidence increased significantly.
It even gave her the urge to enter seclusion.
"Senior Autumn, this is all that I've understood from the scripture.
For the rest, only Senior Autumn can figure it out."
It was already late at night, and the entire Xiguan City was quiet.
By the light of the candle, Autumn Frost couldn't help but look up at Su Chen.
After a long while, she couldn't help but speak.
"These... are truly all your insights."
Before she could finish her sentence, Autumn Frost shook her head and didn't continue.
"I'm asking questions about the Autumn Journey Scripture. Even my family's elders couldn't understand it, so where can I seek guidance?"
Su Chen couldn't ask anyone else, could he?
Although Autumn Frost didn't dare to say that her talent was unparalleled in this world.
But in the process of comprehending the Autumn Journey Scripture, she dared to claim that she was the best in this world.
After all, the Autumn Journey Scripture was the secret technique passed down in the Autumn Family, and those who had comprehended it were all from the Autumn Family.
If even she couldn't understand it, who could Su Chen ask?
In her hesitation, the words she had originally wanted to say turned into a simple expression of gratitude.
Because she had taken a wrong path in her cultivation, Autumn Frost's cultivation had been stagnant for a while.
She had even fallen into a predicament.
Every time she tried to improve her cultivation, not only did she not gain much benefit, but she also suffered backlash.
But this time, Autumn Frost seemed to have found hope to break free from her predicament.
Perhaps, she could take a step forward.
With this thought, Autumn Frost was ready to return to the Autumn Family immediately.
The shackles on her body and the backlash she had suffered would be best cleared as soon as possible.
To prevent any real harm to her foundation.
For her seclusion, Autumn Frost also needed an absolutely safe place.
This was Xiguan City of the Great Zhou Kingdom, and Autumn Frost naturally didn't want to choose this place.
She had just called Su Chen, and she hadn't given him any benefits yet.
Instead, Su Chen had helped her.
As a result, she was going to let Su Chen leave just like that.
Autumn Frost felt a sense of guilt in her heart and was thinking of ways to compensate him.
