Why is my Hundred Lifetimes Book different?

"My lord, that must be Ren Qingshan."

At this moment, Ren Qingshan was unaware that while he was listening to the four people next to him chatting, the three golden-robed figures at another table were secretly talking about him using their divine senses.

These three were, of course, Luo Weiqiu, Liu Fangyuan, and Gongsun Hanhai.

Nearly four months have passed since Liu Fangyuan arrived at Tianxu.

Liu Fangyuan had already written the case file for the "Five Ghosts Rob the Way" case and submitted it, attributing everything to the five sons of the Si family, and stating that he was making every effort to capture them, and had also applied to the ministry for a sum of spirit stones and supplies.

Jin Wujiu agreed and the funds were disbursed.

Liu Fangyuan made a special trip back to Tiandu to collect spirit stones and supplies, and also visited the Ren family. Finally, he secretly brought his two sons to Tianxu, where, with Luo Weiqiu's help, they established a new hidden lineage and spread their influence.

Meanwhile, after much deliberation, Luo Weiqiu finally came up with a good idea to "find Ren Qingshan".

He borrowed a magical artifact from a friend, called the Blood-Evolving Compass.

This magical artifact can be used to find relatives through the power of bloodline.

However, it seemed that Ren Qingshan possessed some kind of power that shielded him from the secrets of heaven. Even when the blood of his father and son was dripped into the compass for direct lineage positioning, the compass remained suspended and unbroken.

However, just over ten days ago, the Blood Compass took effect, vaguely revealing a scene: Ren Qingshan emerging from the strong wind and entering the Windy Inn.

It looks exactly the same as it does now.

So the three of them rushed over, having already stayed there for several days, but found nothing.

Surprised, I still chatted with the owner of Youfeng Inn and posted a request to find the person.

And now...

The causes and effects, the secrets of heaven, seemed to finally intertwine and mature, finally coming to fruition.

Ren Qingshan has arrived.

Although the secrets of heaven are unpredictable, they have indeed arrived.

"Hahaha, that should be right, it's him."

Liu Fangyuan was delighted.

"This Ren Qingshan, a mere fourth-level Qi Refining cultivator, actually possesses a treasure that shields him from heavenly secrets. Could it have been bestowed upon him by Boss Jin?"

Gongsun Hanhai transmitted his thoughts telepathically, with a hint of sourness in his voice.

This kid, for his sake, suffered for months in this Heavenly Ruins!

"It's hard to say. I had previously suspected that he wasn't his father's biological son, or that his son wasn't his biological son. Ha... But now that we've found him, we should take him back. This boy is the one that Commander Jin specifically requested to find, and he's going to marry a noblewoman from the Jin family. Even if he has treasures on him, it's best not to cause any more trouble."

Liu Fangyuan was in a great mood and made a joke, which stopped Gongsun Hanhai from coveting the property.

This mission can now be considered a complete success.

"Should I go talk to him?"

Gongsun Hanhai volunteered.

"I'll go instead."

Liu Fangyuan didn't trust Gongsun Hanhai's ability to handle things. Seeing that Ren Qingshan had almost finished eating, she got up first, walked slowly towards him, sat down opposite him, and looked at him with a smile.

Seeing the people from the Ten Directions Traveling Department sitting opposite him, Ren Qingshan became increasingly wary, but remained outwardly calm and asked, "What is it?"

Liu Fangyuan laughed heartily: "Yes, but with no ill intent. Ren Qingshan, you've kept me searching high and low! Lord Jin was worried about your safety, and since we were on a mission in Tianxu, he asked me to look for you along the way. I borrowed a treasure called the Blood-Evolution Compass, and went to your Ren family to obtain the bloodlines of your father and son, which finally allowed me to find you. How are you? It seems your adventure in Tianxu has been quite successful, coming all this way..."

She said all of this in one breath...

Liu Fangyuan has a friendly demeanor.

The cultivators of Tianxu were all extremely cautious; if the cause and effect were not explained clearly, misunderstandings might arise.

Upon hearing this, Ren Qingshan's mind raced with thoughts, and he slowly replied, "Thank you for your hard work, sir. I can barely manage..."

This matter should be true.

Blood-Derived Compass?

That sounds incredibly amazing.

Did he also go to the Ren family's house?

"I wonder how my father is doing these days?"

Ren Qingshan felt a little more at ease and asked.

"Good, very good. Now that your Ren family is in Tiandu, everyone knows that you are the right-hand man of the Jin family. Your family has started a business, and just then, the Immortal Sect was going to build a new formidable pass, which involved the purchase of some supplies. Commander Jin secured two deals for your family, and your wealth is rolling in."

Liu Fangyuan said with a smile.

Ren Qingshan couldn't help but chuckle.

"I hadn't expected that; it's all thanks to the kindness of you gentlemen."

The Immortal Sect's procurement... was given to my family?

This matter left Ren Qingshan with a somewhat complicated feeling.

The Loose Cultivator Alliance was formed here, and they hated the Immortal Sect to the bone, wishing they could overthrow and rebuild it.

Unexpectedly, her father's side was thriving and rising rapidly.

"I wouldn't dare to say I'm being taken care of, how could I possibly take credit for Lord Jin's work? My name is Liu Fangyuan, and I've been following you for over ten years. We're all on the same side, so let's not stand on ceremony."

"Do you have anything else to do in Tianxu? If not, please come back with us."

"The Heavenly Ruins Calamity is approaching and could descend at any moment. It's safer to return to the Immortal Sect."

Liu Fangyuan could tell from Ren Qingshan's tone that he was meticulous and thoughtful, and that he did not act recklessly or forcefully because of his higher rank.

"Well... naturally."

"To be honest, I'm practically lost right now."

"If you hadn't come looking for us, we really wouldn't know how long we would have been wandering around in this Heavenly Ruins."

Ren Qingshan smiled with a hint of shame and said, "I'll agree for now."

Returning to Jiaosu Pass from here is at least several hundred thousand miles away. Whether to fight or flee along the way is entirely up to you.

"Alright, let's not rush on our way, let's eat meat and drink wine first!"

"Let me introduce you to two colleagues."

Seeing that Ren Qingshan had agreed, Liu Fangyuan pointed over there, stood up first, and made an inviting gesture.

Ren Qingshan did not refuse and followed him to join him at a table.

"This is Gu Weiqiu, a regular visitor to this Heavenly Ruins. He is the guide for this mission."

"Gongsun Hanhai, from the Gongsun family, you two should get closer."

Liu Fangyuan introduced with a smile.

In his mind, Ren Qingshan's position was similar to that of Gongsun Hanhai; they were both just "nepotism"!

After exchanging pleasantries and greetings, Ren Qingshan took a seat.

They ordered several more servings of dragon meat and a few more bottles of wine. Ren Qingshan insisted on paying the bill, but Gu Weiqiu beat him to it and argued with him for a while before he finally gave up.

This... does feel quite like a social obligation.

"May I ask what mission Lord Liu has come here on this occasion?"

After a few rounds of drinks, Ren Qingshan casually asked a question.

Liu Fangyuan had no doubts: "On the eight hundred peaks of Juetian, atop the Great Snow Mountain, a few rogue cultivators practiced evil arts, which were sensed by the Immortal Sect's Restriction Pavilion. Lord Jin then sent us to investigate... It's a minor matter; the case is closed. If it weren't for finding you, we would have returned long ago."

Ren Qingshan smiled, but his heart suddenly tightened.

A heretic?

It must be the fifth son of the Si family!

Evil magic... Could it be the Five Gods of Wealth?

broken!

I came here to investigate the Zheng family, but on the snowy mountain peak, their home was raided!

What happened on the summit of the snow-covered mountain?

Ren Qingshan asked casually.
