Why is my Hundred Lifetimes Book different?

"Ren Qingshan, are you really leaving?"

"Yes, let's go now."

"Where to?"

"I don't know yet. Wherever the Tao is, that's where I will be."

"If you don't know where to go, just stay at the Liang family's place. You can cultivate here too. I won't bother you anymore."

"No need. Some things, once broken, can never be brought back."

"But I really consider you a friend! My best friend!"

"Yes, that's why I left that jade slip. But you don't understand what a friend is. Whether you use harsh or gentle methods to force a friend to do something they don't want to do, that doesn't make you a friend. From now on, we're even."

Ren Qingshan said calmly and firmly.

Ren Qingshan was grateful to Liang for earning six thousand spirit stones in half a year by serving as a retainer in the Liang family, since it was difficult to get by without spirit stones.

However, I've paid it all off now.

To be fair, Ren Qingshan occasionally felt a little attracted to this girl, after all, he was a normal man.

But if the Great Way is not achieved, one should not concern oneself with worldly affairs.

It's not too late to cut ties now, before the bond is too strong.

"That's a great idea!"

"Ren Qingshan, you can't leave!"

"This method, this method! With this method, the Liang family can open gambling dens all over the Great Qi!"

Qian Zhongchun scanned the jade slip with his divine sense and was overjoyed, his body trembling slightly.

He immediately understood the brilliance of the Color Pool Method.

Compared to betting in the ring, this method is extremely simple, requires little investment, offers high returns, and has a wide coverage.

The daily lottery draws become a golden brand, continuously attracting gamblers to the Liang family.

"Then congratulations in advance, and may your wealth increase greatly."

Ren Qingshan didn't turn around, speaking calmly as he stepped out the door.

A sudden gust of wind swept through the world.

There was another person in front of me.

It was none other than Qian Zhongchun.

A new, authoritative air appeared in his eyes as he grabbed Ren Qingshan's arm: "Don't go!"

"Whatever you want, the Liang family can provide it."

"Such wisdom is invaluable; he can be my right-hand man!"

Currently, the Liang family is not the only one allowed to open a gambling den by the Immortal Sect. If this child falls into the hands of another family, the consequences will be dire!

"What is your cultivation level?"

At this moment, Qian Zhongchun heard Ren Qingshan's calm voice.

Ok?

"I... am at the third level of Qi Refining."

After a moment's hesitation, he responded honestly.

The transition from the third to the fourth level of Qi Refining is a huge hurdle, requiring both opportunity and persistent effort.

He is preoccupied with family affairs and his cultivation level is not high.

However, most of the Liang family's sons-in-law are like this.

The women of the family focused on cultivation to improve their abilities.

Men work for their families and manage businesses.

"What kind of Qi are you cultivating?"

Ren Qingshan asked again.

Why are you asking this?

Answer me!

"I cultivate... the True Qi of the Earthly Branch Xu! If you join my Liang family, you can take any cultivator at the third level of Qi Refining in the Immortal Prison who possesses True Qi!"

Suddenly, Qian Zhongchun understood Ren Qingshan's meaning: This boy is a Daoist cultivator, wholeheartedly devoted to the Dao. He has now reached the second level of Qi Refining and is seeking Qi in order to reach the third level of Qi Refining.

The Immortal Prison in Zhenbei City is under the control of the Liang family, and it also has an arena where all kinds of sinful cultivators serve as provisions.

If you die, you die; no one will say anything.

After all, cultivators from prestigious families, even if they commit heinous crimes, will not be condemned as sinners.

Seeing Ren Qingshan deep in thought, Qian Zhongchun felt a surge of pride.

Sure enough, these words hit the nail on the head.

"Is your Earthly Qi derived from the Northern Dipper?"

The True Qi of Earth (戌土) is not ranked high, being the 61st on the list of 108 True Qi in the Heavenly Cycle, but it is relatively rare.

Based on his previous knowledge of the sinful cultivators in the Immortal Prison when he sold insider information, it should be that only Jin Beidou has mastered it.

Ren Qingshan had previously considered dying in order to seize a strand of true qi.

They just haven't found the right one yet.

Moreover, after time reversal, he used the Book of a Hundred Deaths to strip the other party of their true qi, causing the other party's true qi to disappear. This matter is too suspicious to think about, and it will definitely be noticed by someone with ulterior motives... The consequences are quite terrifying. With the methods of the Immortal Sect, the Book of a Hundred Deaths may even be exposed.

By then, either the treasure will be stolen, or the body will be guarded, a hundred times over!

Qian Zhongchun's statement now offers another option for obtaining true Qi.

You don't have to die.

Among the sinful cultivators in the Immortal Prison, anyone with true Qi can choose freely.

cruel!

It's like raising pigs!

Backed by powerful and influential families, their resources are indeed abundant, and their methods are indeed ruthless!

There's practically no way for rogue cultivators to survive in this world!

"That's right."

"It was obtained from him."

"The Jin family was once considered a Foundation Establishment family, but after the death of their ancestor, they fell into ruin and could never recover."

"Let me tell you, although my Liang family is only a Foundation Establishment family, our ancestor was once the partner of a Golden Core expert in his youth. That's why he was in charge of the Immortal Prison and could even run a casino."

"Although time has passed and circumstances have changed, the bond between husband and wife remains strong, even after just one day of marriage."

Faced with Ren Qingshan's question, Qian Zhongchun readily admitted it and continued to persuade him.

This isn't exactly a secret, and it's not shameful at all.

The Immortal Sect has hundreds or even thousands of families, large and small, and behind each of them are countless intricate relationships.

Those whose backers were unstable were wiped out long ago.

Some people want to climb the social ladder.

Ren Qingshan remained silent.

Today, I no longer harbor any illusions about the Immortal Sect.

What kind of immortality are they cultivating?

They're nothing but a den of snakes and rats!

Humans should have all the necessary desires, including greed, anger, and ignorance; all seven emotions and six desires are present.

The current immortal sects...

This was completely different from the cultivation practices of the previous era that I had seen while browsing through ancient texts during this period.

The cultivators of the previous era were self-reliant and tireless, each one like a dragon, moving mountains and seas, developing agriculture and sericulture, bringing favorable weather and peace to the country... truly admirable.

Perhaps only those immortals can truly be called immortals!

Unlike now, where all power is held by the Immortal Sect, even the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is monopolized.

But how could it have perished in the great calamity of the last era?

Is only Tianxu left?

My thoughts drifted away.

Ren Qingshan composed himself and let out a long sigh.

Such thinking is dangerous; it's a recipe for disaster!

Overthinking is useless; focus on self-improvement first.

Once I break through to the fourth level of Qi Refining and enter the Heavenly Ruins, I may gain something.

For now, we have to play it safe and wait. As long as we're alive, we can always make a comeback!

As for...

Ren Qingshan had considered that now that he was dying at Qian Zhongchun's hands, he could go back twelve hours and have his Xu Earth True Qi stolen.

However, the true Qi of the Earth element is slightly lacking in rank, limiting its future achievements.

Although the Limitless Spiritual Root is not ranked very high, it has great potential and has achieved the ultimate in "spiritual energy capacity".

The true qi that one desires must be at least in the top ten, so that it has enough potential to reach the highest level in the future!

The path to immortality is a series of stages where small victories accumulate into a great triumph, and each stage is extremely crucial.

We can't be slow, and we can't make mistakes.

Thinking about these things, his heart was surging but his face remained calm as he let Qingshan nod slowly.

Seeing that he finally agreed, Qian Zhongchun laughed heartily and patted him on the shoulder forcefully: "That's more like it! Don't worry, I'll definitely keep my promise to you!"
