The Great Xia Dynasty's Longevity Begins with Connecting to the Swallowed Starry Sky

Chapter 191 Qin Zhenyuan's Shock, Covering the Sky, The Little Security Guard at the Foot of Mount Tai

The following evening, the delivery team from Futong Money Exchange arrived in Shendu.

The manager wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"This calamity is getting worse and worse."

"Yes, manager. I wonder what the Six Doors in the capital do. How many demonic calamities have we encountered along the way?"

The steward glanced at the obsequious servant beside him and gave him a disapproving look: "Don't talk nonsense. The demonic calamity is the responsibility of the Demon Suppression Division. What does it have to do with the Six Doors?"

Although demonic disasters occur frequently, all departments in the capital bear responsibility.

However, the primary responsibility still lies with the Demon Suppression Division.

Although the Cangling Secret Realm ultimately prevented the demons from breaking through, at the same time, many other secret realms encountered problems.

No one knows how many tricks the demons secretly used over tens of thousands of years of planning.

Even the Prince Xian's subordinates seem to have been infiltrated.

As for the wise king himself, it's hard to say.

But are these things something they can say?
These are all matters concerning high-ranking officials; I'd better not talk too much, lest I get myself into trouble.

The manager knew why he was worried; it was because he had come to the capital with a secret mission.

Although he didn't know what it was.

Before he left, the shopkeeper gave him a sealed storage ring and asked him to secretly deliver it to the Marquis of Anyuan's residence.

He was naturally curious about what was inside.

But the manager knew all too well that some things were acceptable to be curious about, while others were not.

Curiosity killed the cat.

"Let's go, let's deliver the goods first. Then we'll head back to the Shendu branch."

The large group passed through the guards' inspection and entered the capital.

They then went straight to the Marquis of Anyuan's residence to hand over the goods.

The people of the capital city saw this and were all talking about it.

"The Anyuan Marquis's mansion is quite remarkable."

"Yes, I don't know how they got in touch with Futong Money Exchange. In the past year or so, the Anyuan Marquis's mansion has risen to prominence."

"You wouldn't know this, would you? The person ranked first on the list is the youngest grandson of the Marquis of Anyuan."

"No, he should be called the Marquis of Divine Might now."

The ordinary people in the capital city are generally better informed than people from other places.

You never know what kind of extraordinary master a seemingly ordinary person might have as a neighbor.

Yes, a servant of a peerless master.

The news of Qin Hao being granted a noble title has already spread among the common people of the capital.

The family held two noble titles, and the grandson's title was even several ranks higher than his grandfather's.

What an honor this is!

"What exactly did this Marquis of Divine Valor do to be granted a title?"

Someone asked curiously.

But nobody knows.

Of course, they would never know what Qin Hao had done.

Without mentioning them, Qin Zhenyuan wouldn't know the details.

At this moment, Qin Zhenyuan obtained a storage ring from the manager of Futong Money Shop.

These storage rings will not have a larger capacity than the world ring he obtained before.

But each time, it was only some relatively precious resources that were transported over.

This is not the first time.

Qin Zhenyuan was somewhat numb.

Although he was the Earl of Anyuan, he commanded the Red Dragon Army of three thousand men.

In the past, however, these things could only be obtained by begging and pleading.

But now that my grandson has risen to prominence, these things are being brought in like a flowing stream.

He was somewhat shocked.

After the initial shock comes numbness.

When you've eaten too many delicacies, the passion for talking about them fades.

"Take your time, sir."

Although Qin Hao has risen to prominence, Qin Zhenyuan has maintained his original humility.

He did not consider himself superior to others just because Qin Hao was cooperating with Futong Bank.

Besides, this aloof attitude won't help him improve his cultivation level.

As the steward left the Marquis of Anyuan's residence, he didn't forget to look back once more.

This family, which is considered a high-class household by ordinary people, actually didn't have a very high entry threshold in the past.

But now, the threshold for the An Yuan Marquis's residence is getting higher and higher.

This wasn't the first time the steward had seen Qin Zhenyuan; he had gone from being a martial artist at the peak of the second realm last year to now being at the third realm.

The Anyuan Earl's Mansion has also risen to prominence.

Even in this capital city teeming with experts, the third realm isn't so common as to be rampant.

The third realm remains the core.

If we say that the Earl of Anyuan in the past relied on his courage and fighting spirit, apart from some marriage ties, it was also the Earl of Anyuan who earned his title by risking his life.

Now, his serious injury has been resolved.

Their strength has also improved.

No one will bring up this title anymore.

The third realm is enough to support a third-rate sect.

The two heads of the An Yuan Earl's Mansion, the Earl and his wife, are already at the third level.

Moreover, the countess is said to be a dragon maiden, and her martial arts skills may even surpass those of the count.

Meanwhile, at the Anyuan Earl's residence, Qin Zhenyuan saw the steward off.

He then pretended to be calm and walked back, but as soon as he entered the house, he seemed a little impatient.

Chu Xiuying rolled her eyes: "What a character."

She certainly knew why Qin Zhenyuan was in such a hurry.

For the past year or so, whenever my grandson sends anything over, it's mostly through the Futong Money Exchange.

Of course, occasionally Qin Hao's trusted confidants would send some over.

Each item delivered was a very precious cultivation resource.

The Crimson Dragon Army's overall strength has now reached the third level of the first realm, with a small number reaching their peak and potentially breaking through to the second realm at any time.

The number of people who have broken through to the second realm has exceeded one hundred.

This army is already quite strong.

Don't underestimate the strength of the army.

An army is originally a collection of strength. Three thousand soldiers at the third level of the first realm, once assembled, can even surround and kill experts at the peak of the second realm or even the third realm.

It all depends on the extent of the losses.

"Take it out and let me see."

Chu Xiuying was also quite curious, wondering what benefits her grandson had given her.

Even the daughter-in-law benefited, and her power increased considerably.

The eldest son's children, who were cultivating in the sect, all seemed to have received some assistance.

Not to mention, they have no shortage of cultivation resources, and their two grandchildren have also greatly increased their cultivation speed.

This is the principle behind the saying "when one person attains enlightenment, even their chickens and dogs ascend to heaven."

"Don't rush, wait for me to break the seal."

As Qin Zhenyuan spoke, he began using a special hand seal to start breaking the seal.

This seal is to protect the secret inside.

The sealing technique was used by Qin Hao.

If the wrong handprint is used to unlock the storage ring, it cannot be opened.

Using brute force could damage the storage ring.

Within the storage ring, there is a space, though the sizes vary.

However, failure to lift the lockdown will disrupt the space and cause it to collapse.

This power is so great that even those at the fourth level might not be able to suppress it.

This can ensure the maximum protection of the secrets within the spatial ring.

However, after the lockdown was lifted, Qin Zhenyuan found something strange.

First, there's gene therapy.

This is for assisting in cultivation, and it has now reached type 4.

It can be used at the peak of the second realm.

The effect is somewhat reduced when used in the third realm.

But this stuff is plentiful; every so often, a large batch is delivered.

Qin Hao has essentially taken care of the entire Crimson Dragon Army.

This is also why the Crimson Dragon Army was able to improve so rapidly.

Qin Zhenyuan also frequently led the Crimson Dragon Army out hunting, hunting for the demon cores and flesh of demonic beasts.

Firstly, it's for training troops; secondly, it's to hand them over to Qin Hao, which can be considered a small way of giving back.

But if these are the gene-enhancing drugs, why send them over so secretly?
Qin Zhenyuan quickly realized that something was wrong.

"This is?"

He soon discovered a new medicine.

A slip of paper appeared in his hand, containing instructions for the new drug.

"what!"

Qin Zhenyuan suddenly shouted loudly. Chu Xiuying, not knowing why, rolled her eyes and snatched the note away.

"What's wrong? Why are you making such a fuss?"

After a long while, the couple looked at each other and stared at each other in bewilderment.

"Is this thing real?"

Chu Xiuying has known all these years that there are rare and precious materials that can give people certain qualities.

Moreover, consuming rare and precious herbs will improve one's aptitude for cultivation.

But this medicine can achieve that.

And the quantity is so large?

This is somewhat unbelievable.

"is this real?"

The two looked at each other again, then silently shut their mouths.

They did not discuss this issue.

"Go and make some secret arrangements. Our Crimson Dragon Army also has some auxiliary soldiers; we'll select from among them."

Going directly to find someone outside is unsafe and unreliable; the information is very likely to be leaked.

Secondly, the imperial court would not allow it.

Futong Money Exchange could employ many farmers and train them gradually.

They have a relatively large number of reliable people at their disposal.

As long as you don't use the guise of private soldiers, you can cover it up with guards.

These things were done quietly and without fanfare.

The Crimson Dragon Army is trustworthy; they were all built up by Qin Zhenyuan from scratch, and those who follow him are all veterans.

The auxiliary soldiers are similar.

Over the past year, Qin Zhenyuan has also given the auxiliary soldiers many benefits.

Other noble families were not so kind.

The auxiliary soldiers did odd jobs and were not valued.

However, this phenomenon does not exist within the Crimson Dragon Army.

Before Qin Hao rose to prominence, Qin Zhenyuan had always valued his auxiliary troops.

He himself rose through the ranks of auxiliary soldiers.

Qin Hao had arranged everything.

The matter of Qinghe Bay should still be left to Song Fugui and his team.

Qin Hao made a plan and asked Song Fugui and the others to follow it.

This plan was actually made by professionals that Qin Hao had found in the world of Swallowing the Stars.

There's a professional team there. Qin Hao provided a framework, and naturally, professionals helped with the planning.

Although they are also strange, this setting is somewhat bizarre.

However, in the spirit of professionalism, they still produced a very detailed plan.

"Since everything is arranged, there's nothing to worry about."

Anyway, coming back would only take a moment. So, new world, here I come.

After waiting for these past few days, the vortex that represents the new world is almost ready to be linked.

"Link."

With a thought, Qin Hao activated his True Spirit.

Inside a small pavilion, Qin Hao opened his eyes and curiously looked around.

"This is... a security booth?"

This is an environment similar to his previous life on Earth.

At that time, he was still called Qin Hao.

He was wearing a security guard uniform, and outside was a parking lot.

"At the foot of Mount Tai? Looks like another parallel world on Earth."

Qin Hao absorbed the memories in his mind, but he didn't yet know what kind of world this was.

Is it some parallel world from my own memories, or simply another world?

"Qin Hao, dinner's ready. I'm going now, I'll come back to pay you back later."

In a nearby pavilion, an older employee came over, said something to Qin Hao, and then went to order food.

These security guards eat half of their meals from takeout.

However, the weather was quite hot, so they all preferred to eat in the shade.

Qin Hao was still receiving the memories, so he nodded first.

It's just a matter of time; I'll eat after the other person finishes.

After waiting for about half an hour, my colleague returned.

Qin Hao just went out for a meal.

At that time, Earth's technology was still relatively backward.

Not to mention the technology of the Swallowed Star world, even on Blue Star, where Qin Hao lived before his transmigration, 5G was already in use and everyone had a smartphone.

Back then, everyone was still using flip phones.

Ordering takeout simply means calling a familiar takeout restaurant and asking them to cook rice in a wooden bucket and deliver it to you.

Qin Hao is eating a pre-prepared Shaxian snack at the moment.

A classic duck leg rice dish costs eleven yuan, and includes a piece of braised tofu, half a braised duck egg, a few pieces of green vegetables, and a braised duck leg.

The taste was alright, but it didn't have the technological and grueling flavor of later generations.

Or perhaps they just haven't tasted it yet.

“Cultivation doesn’t seem to be very popular in this world. Even the spiritual energy has become sluggish and inert. The concentration is even too low.”

Of all the people coming and going, Qin Hao hadn't noticed anyone with cultivation.

This made Qin Hao wonder if he had come to a world without cultivation.

"It doesn't matter, let's keep looking. Even if we can't find it, there are still many things we can do in a world without spiritual energy."

Anyway, I found him, and his true spirit has grown stronger.

It doesn't matter if there's no spiritual energy; he can provide extra spiritual liquid.

Qin Hao also sensed it, whether it was the cosmic primal force of the Devouring Stars world, the power of the mental cultivator, or the path of cultivation in the Qianyang Realm.

There seem to be some obstacles.

The most active force is actually that of the spiritual masters.

hum.

Feeling the power of the spiritual masters surrounding him, Qin Hao felt a sense of security.

In fact, the power of a spiritualist is spiritual power, which is a variant of spiritual power.

Or rather, it is mental energy in an active state.

Qin Hao in this world doesn't have much mental energy; he's probably at the level of a mid-level warrior.

Moreover, its power is not as great as that of the Devouring Star World.

That's a special ability of the Devouring Starry Sky.

In other worlds, there is no power that can easily reach tens of thousands of tons.

"However, we also need to consider making some money."

Money is not everything, but nothing is impossible without money.

In any society governed by the rule of law, it is impossible to get by without money.

Although he possessed martial prowess that ordinary people did not have.

But it doesn't mean you can do whatever you want.

"But that's not difficult. We can just get some gold from another world."

Qin Hao also possesses illusion magic and can manipulate it with his mental power. He took a day off in the afternoon, went for a walk, and exchanged 50 million in cash.

He didn't plan to resign immediately. Instead, he worked as a security guard while searching for any clues about cultivation on the internet.

"The Daoist scriptures?"

Without a doubt, Qin Hao has found this scripture again.

However, this scripture is somewhat different from the ones he saw on Blue Star, in the Swallowed Star World, and in the Qianyang Realm.

"Sea of ​​Bitterness, Spring of Life, Bridge of Divine Power?"

Qin Hao's expression was somewhat strange: "Although there are no specific cultivation methods, the terms for these three realms are still prevalent in this Daoist scripture. So, this should be..."

"Covering the sky?"

Qin Hao was somewhat surprised; the height of this world, as he had imagined, was actually not that high.

It's definitely not as good as the world of Swallowed Star.

The so-called saints, saint kings, and emperors of this world are actually cultivators at the Sendai realm, who have not yet become immortals.

Only after that does the Immortal of the Mortal World appear.

However, its strength doesn't seem weak at all.

Yes, it is indeed weaker compared to the Swallowed Star world.

"However, this world is still wonderful, and it also allows you to see more cultivation systems."

These are actually the true treasures of this world.

It can give me a lot of inspiration.

"Stones from other mountains can be used to polish jade."

However, the methods of cultivation are not so easy to obtain.

In my memory, there are several extremely powerful scriptures in this world.

The Daoist scriptures, especially the Wheel Sea volume, are the strongest and most suitable for building a foundation.

There are also the *Xihuang Jing*, *Hengyu Jing*, *Taihuang Jing*, as well as the *Taiyang Zhenjing* and *Taiyin Zhenjing*.

In all six of these works, the protagonist Ye Fan has undergone cultivation.

Moreover, they are all the best parts.

Qin Hao was still a little confused. Could it really be possible to extract the strongest part of these scriptures during cultivation?
There must be a connection between the order of events, right?
Furthermore, is the nature of magical power unrelated to the scriptures used in cultivation?

The magical power cultivated from different scriptures should have certain differences.

Despite all of these, they all come from the same person.

"Forget it, those are all too far in the past, not something I should be thinking about right now. What I should be thinking about right now is how to obtain the method of cultivation, to open up the sea of ​​suffering, and to cultivate to the state of the sea of ​​samsara."

It's unknown whether this body possesses some kind of sacred body.
It's highly unlikely.

How rare is the Eucharist!

If it were a world where cultivation of qi and blood were the only focus, then it would be much simpler.

His true form, located in another world, can offer assistance.

But in this world, one cannot succeed without escaping the sea of ​​suffering.

Although his mental strength is not weak, if he doesn't come into contact with the cultivation methods of this world, wouldn't he have come for nothing?
"Let's check the time first. I remember in the original story, when did the nine dragons pull the coffin at the beginning?"

Because it's been a long time, it's quite difficult to find out some of the details.

It will take some time to dig these details out from the depths of my mind.

"It seems to be 2010? It should be the cosmic scene transmitted back by Voyager 2, with nine dragons pulling a coffin, thus opening the curtain on the story."

Qin Hao looked down at his secondhand flip phone: "It's still 2004, there are still six years left."

These six years are the time Qin Hao has been given to find the secret methods of cultivation.

Later, when he goes to the Big Dipper Star Region, he can search for the "Taoist Scripture" and complete the most powerful basic method.

But before that, he also needs to cultivate himself.

The journey of the nine dragons pulling the coffin was not without danger.

Relying solely on mental power makes one an easy target.

"This is where the story begins, so I should buy this parking lot."

Qin Hao acted on his idea immediately and also discovered that the parking lot owner intended to return to his hometown to develop his business, so the parking lot had already been listed for sale.

Qin Hao used some tricks and bought the parking lot without anyone noticing.

Subsequently, he didn't need to resign; he was dismissed under a pretext and received a severance payment.

After that, Qin Hao began traveling all over the country.

The main purpose was to visit Taoist temples and monasteries to look for traces of cultivation.

Unfortunately, most Taoist temples and monasteries show no signs of practice.

On Earth, the place Qin Hao was certain had good things was the Kunlun Mountains.

But first, he didn't know where Kunlun Mountain was.

Secondly, it is very dangerous inside Kunlun.

As long as the true spirit doesn't have any problems, the worst that can happen is resurrection.

But Qin Hao still felt it was better to be cautious.

The passing of wild geese leaves traces behind.

If he had used the True Spirit Resurrection technique to obtain a body from another world, he would likely be discovered.

This world still harbors many ancient monsters.

Putting everything else aside, the Ruthless Great Emperor is still alive.

There are also several supreme beings.

There was also a saint who was suppressed on Mars.

A year later, Qin Hao arrived at the foot of Longhu Mountain.

"Although I wasn't in a hurry, I traveled around like a tourist."

But in the end, we still arrived here.

In the world of Swallowed Star, he also took on a disciple named Zhang Yuanbai, who came from Longhu Mountain.

There is also an old master named Zhang Daoli, who is also quite skilled.

Qin Hao also obtained a copy of the "Shangqing Sword Manual" from the other party.

Now, in this world, he also sensed a trace of cultivation here at Longhu Mountain.

Qin Hao went up the mountain and offered incense, following Taoist rituals.

The host seemed to have noticed something.

Then Qin Hao waved his hand and donated one million: "I only ask to become a disciple and be taught the cultivation method."

The host hesitated for a moment, then Qin Hao waved his hand again and said, "An additional five million will be added."

Over the past year, Qin Hao has traveled extensively and has also made several purchases of gold, jade, and other precious stones.

In addition to operating the parking lot at the foot of Mount Tai, he also made some money in the stock market during his occasional free time.

They already have considerable assets.

Looking at the notification sound on my phone, I saw that my bank card had been used to withdraw six million.

There is still a balance of five billion.

Qin Hao stated that anything that can be solved with money is not a problem.

The abbot hesitated for a moment before saying, "Please wait a moment, layman, I'll go ask."

The four essential elements of spiritual practice are Dharma, companions, wealth, and environment.

Qin Hao knew that money could indeed pave the way.

Not long after, the host brought in a high-ranking official.

Qin Hao sensed a trace of magical power emanating from the other party.

After some conversation, Qin Hao finally received a beginner's cultivation technique for 30 million.

The Secret Scrolls of Dragon and Tiger.

That very evening, the 30 million was presented, along with ten 300-year-old ginseng roots.

This is the real issue.

However, these medicinal herbs were easy for Qin Hao to obtain.

Not to mention that his herb garden originally contained these herbs, and although the quantity was not excessive, it was definitely not small.

He said he had money, and whether it was the Qianyang Realm or the Swallowed Star World, he could buy high-quality medicinal herbs as long as he spent money.

It's just a ginseng that's a mere three hundred years old.

"That's enough. Let me see what's going on with this 'Dragon and Tiger Secret Scroll'."
