Why is my Hundred Lifetimes Book different?

The boy's sudden outburst made Liang Hongchan blush slightly, her cheeks flushing.

She glared at him and said crisply, "You're the kind of person who gets the better deal and then acts innocent! Come on, come with me."

"You're wrong about that."

"I only care about the price, not whether it's good or not."

"In this life, if I fail to achieve the Great Dao, I will not concern myself with worldly affairs. I will not marry until I have reached the Foundation Establishment stage, and I will not have children until I have reached the Golden Core stage. Let me make this clear from the beginning: if you are still willing to let me guard the Scripture Pavilion, I will go. If you are not willing, then forget it. The mountains are high and the roads are long. We will meet again if fate allows."

Ren Qingshan currently doesn't want any emotional entanglement with her, and the reason is the one he has stated.

Of course, there is one thing that cannot be told to others, and that is the Book of a Hundred Deaths.

If a Daoist partner cannot be wholeheartedly and honestly devoted, then they cannot be considered a Daoist partner.

Those who are not sworn brothers or sisters, but can entrust their lives to each other, are not considered Daoist partners.

Hearing the boy's firm and resolute voice, Liang Hongchan was stunned once again, her long eyelashes trembling slightly beneath her beautiful eyes.

If the Great Way cannot be achieved, then one should not concern oneself with worldly affairs?

He won't marry unless he's at the Foundation Establishment stage, and he won't have children unless he's at the Golden Core

Such words were truly unheard of, fully displaying the lofty ambitions and boundless spirit of a young man.

"it is good."

"Then these are the terms! It's a deal!"

"But if you fail to achieve anything in your cultivation and end up all alone, you must not cry."

She teased him with a grin.

Anyway, I'm still young, so things like finding a partner or husband are things for later. Right now, I only wish to seek friends through my chirping.

This young man before me, based solely on that heroic statement, is worthy of being my friend.

Hopefully, I won't waste my time in this mortal world in the future.

……

The Liang family's library contains three hundred volumes of books.

For a Foundation Establishment family, this collection of books is extremely small, perhaps because their foundation is still shallow.

The Daoist Canon comprises 108,000 volumes, as vast as the sea; this library before us is but a drop in the ocean.

However, for Ren Qingshan at present, it is already enough.

reading.

Absorbing Qi.

His daily life was monotonous and dull, like that of an old monk.

However, given the lucrative nature of the mission and the monthly reward of a thousand spirit stones, Ren Qingshan was already quite satisfied.

……

What has Ren Qingshan been doing lately?

"Miss, just read books and meditate."

"Anything else?"

"That's all. This kid is naturally withdrawn, doesn't talk much, and is quite boring."

"Okay, you can go now."

He's...boring?

Those with profound knowledge and wisdom naturally do not wish to associate with ordinary people.

Liang Hongchan was very satisfied.

……

"Ren Qingshan, there's a highly anticipated battle between two Qi Refining Level 3 cultivators on the arena today. Would you like to come with me to watch?"

Another day, Liang Hongchan took the initiative to come and invited her with a smile.

"Thanks, but I'll pass for now. It's all pre-arranged; what's there to see?"

"Hmm? How did you know?"

She felt inexplicably guilty and vehemently denied it.

"If I didn't know, how could I have made that money? First, create hype, lay the bait, then win dozens of games in a row, fan the flames, and once the fish are caught in the net, we catch them all."

Her eyes sparkled: "So, you saw right through it from the beginning? Where did you learn that?"

Ren Qingshan handed her a copy of "Biographies of Golden Core Cultivators" and said with a calm smile, "Here it is."

"What's so interesting about this lousy book? It's so convoluted and hard to understand. Humph, you can read it yourself, I'll go play by myself!"

She left gracefully, not out of spite, but simply to show off a little to her brother-in-law who had orchestrated all of this.

……

"Ren Qingshan, my brother-in-law praised your quick wit, but he wants to test you. My family's new gambling den is opening, with additional betting tables. They're currently brainstorming new and more innovative gambling games. Can you help me design one?"

Time passed like flowing water, and Liang Hongchan came to bother him again.

"Thanks for the invitation, but I don't know how."

Ren Qingshan refused decisively.

"Oh dear, I don't believe it!"

"Stop bluffing. You're just too lazy to deal with me, and you think this kind of thing isn't honest enough, is that it?"

"But think about it, there are so many people in the world who have no hope for the path of cultivation. If everyone were to give up hope, wouldn't they be committing murder and arson everywhere, causing chaos throughout the world?"

"The existence of my Zhenbei City provides a stage for many cultivators to realize their dreams, to fight against all odds, and what if they win? Just like you."

Liang Hongchan spoke with conviction, and although she herself felt guilty, wasn't this all to persuade him?

"no."

"You're so annoying."

"Don't disturb me while I'm reading."

Ren Qingshan coldly refused, waving his hand as if shooing away flies.

The girl froze, disbelief appearing in her bright eyes, and two streams of tears fell down her cheeks.

"When a woman cries in front of me, there are three possibilities: one, she is about to lie to me; two, she is about to make an unreasonable demand; three, she is a crybaby."

Ren Qingshan smiled faintly.

Liang Hongchan's tears stopped abruptly. She hurriedly wiped them away, her face flushed red: "You! You... wrote this in the book?"

The tears were obviously acted.

This trick always works on elders and relatives, but Ren Qingshan hit the nail on the head!

"It wasn't written in the book; I figured it out myself."

"Let's go."

……

"Greetings, Fellow Daoist Ren."

"Qingshan, this is my brother-in-law, Qian Zhongchun."

A few days later, Liang Hongchan came to the library again, accompanied by a middle-aged cultivator dressed in white, whose aura was as deep and unfathomable.

"Greetings, fellow Daoist."

Ren Qingshan cupped his hands in greeting, a sense of helplessness, typical of a working-class person, welling up inside him.

After all, when you're receiving someone else's monthly salary, you're not in control of your own life.

"Fellow Daoist Ren is a smart man. I'll get straight to the point and make a long story short. My Liang family is planning to open a new gambling den and is preparing new ways to play. We are currently brainstorming ideas."

"Ninety percent of the profits from this bet will be handed over to the Immortal Sect, and the remaining ten percent will belong to my Liang family."

"I, Qian Zhongchun, will make the final decision on this matter. If you can design a popular way to play, I will give you a share of the profits that will go to my Liang family."

"As long as the Liang family exists, as long as Zhenbei City exists, this oath will remain forever."

Ren Qingshan was taken aback when he heard this.

This guy has quite the spirit, actually giving up shares.

No wonder the gambling industry in Zhenbei City is booming.

"As a mere Qi Refining Level 2 cultivator, even if I had those spirit stones, I probably wouldn't live to spend them."

"Just give her the shares."

"This jade slip contains what you seek."

"Let me add one more thing: this lottery method, although it is also gambling, is less harmful to the natural order and provides poor cultivators with an opportunity to get rich quickly. The Liang family can take the commission, and their income is guaranteed regardless of drought or flood. As for winning the lottery, don't try anything funny."

"I am deeply indebted to the Liang family for supporting me for half a year... From today onwards, I resign to settle this karmic debt."

Ren Qingshan took out a jade slip, placed it on the table as if nothing was wrong, stood up, straightened his clothes, clasped his hands in greeting, and walked towards the door.

Qian Zhongchun was stunned. He reached out and picked up the jade slip. In that instant, he felt a kind of integrity from the young man.

After years of cultivation, they are extremely rare.

only……

Liang Hongchan panicked.

Unexpectedly, this person was so stubborn and arrogant that he would break up with the whole thing if things didn't go his way!

Moreover, he treated a fortune like dirt, giving away a mere fraction of the value of a share as if it were utterly insignificant.
