Why is my Hundred Lifetimes Book different?

A set of black standard-fitting clothes, a jade waist tag, and a low-grade spiritual weapon sword...

This is the official equipment of the Ten Directions Walker.

After receiving the equipment and registering, Ren Qingshan stayed in Tiandu City that night, which was the temporary residence of the Shifang Walking Department.

A very simple, quiet room, with only a bed and a table, spotless.

In the quiet of the night, Ren Qingshan reviewed his conversation with Jin Wujiu that day.

The biggest advantage of this identity for me is that it allows me to begin integrating into the Immortal Sect system, enabling me to gradually build up my knowledge and learn more.

Information is truly of paramount importance in the current cultivation landscape of immortal sects.

To give a simple example: once the hand seals are successfully formed, what is the foundation for advancing from the fourth to the fifth level of Qi Refining? I don't even know yet.

It's simply because there's no master, no lineage, and no one to guide them.

Along the way, I haven't even met a cultivator at the fifth level of Qi Refining who I could consult or chat with.

I went to the inquiry office to ask, and this piece of information was priced at eight thousand spirit stones!

—My whole life has been like walking on thin ice!

Information monopoly is the most terrifying thing. Cultivators without a strong foundation have to either work for Foundation Establishment families or work for immortal sects if they want to obtain valuable and accurate information.

In comparison, the latter is more in line with my wishes.

The Immortal Sect is based on "rights and responsibilities," and although there are many unfair aspects, there is still a sliver of opportunity.

A family is based on "bloodline," and those who are not of the family bloodline have absolutely no chance.

The current boss, Jin Wujiu, comes from a prominent family and is clearly a very powerful figure.

However, it cannot be completely trusted.

The fact that he took a liking to me and accepted me so easily is partly due to my Limitless Spiritual Root, but there may be other reasons as well.

In conclusion: It's a good thing. Ordinary people don't need to queue or fight... This will always form an impossible triangle.

"Put on this skin first!"

"Once I've completed the Pangu Great Strength Visualization Technique and advanced to the fourth level, I'll seek an opportunity to go to the Heavenly Ruins!"

Ren Qingshan's goal remains as firm as ever.

As for information about Tianxu, I am currently only vaguely aware that it is a place where opportunities and dangers coexist, suitable for those who have nothing to strive for, unlike within the Immortal Sect, where the social hierarchy is extremely rigid.

I will definitely go.

We just need to find out all the information about the interior of Tianxu first.

……

"Ren Qingshan, come drink! Wuyou Pavilion! Jiaqi Room!"

It's past midnight.

As Ren Qingshan sat cross-legged and concentrated, he saw a divine thought suddenly emerge from the waist token of the Ten Directions Walker.

This waist tag serves two purposes: first, to confirm identity, and second, to transmit messages over long distances.

Currently, only Jin Wujiu is listed on my waist tag; there can't be anyone else besides him.

Silently getting up, Ren Qingshan walked out of the quiet room. After having his waist token checked by the guards and being asked where Wuyou Pavilion was, he walked along the brightly lit main street of Tiandu City.

drink wine?

Worry-Free Pavilion?

No... I'm supposed to pay the bill?

It's not a big deal to treat your boss to drinks when you first arrive, but to kidnap someone late at night is rather disrespectful.

Worry-Free Pavilion sounds incredibly high-end. If I were to pay the bill, could I afford it?

Jin Wujiu's eating manners shouldn't be this unsightly, right?

Ren Qingshan was speechless, and also somewhat amused and exasperated. The hardships of being a rogue cultivator were also reflected in these various details of life.

But there was no other way but to bear it alone.

……

Worry-Free Pavilion is located in Ward 37, which is considered part of the central city area, and Ren Qingshan arrived quickly.

The market town was lined with teahouses, restaurants, and brothels, and even the air was filled with the faint aroma of wine. Although it was late at night, it was still exceptionally lively.

Find the door to Wuyoufang.

At the entrance stood two stunningly beautiful female cultivators, each possessing spiritual energy and a cultivation level of the second stage of Qi Refining. They seemed to be practicing some special technique, exuding an exceptionally strong allure that stirred the heart with just a glance. Their eyes, in particular, were captivating and enchanting, a blend of lust and sanctity.

Ren Qingshan took a deep breath, and the vast mortal energy within his body swayed gently, making his eyes clear.

When asked to find someone, Jin Wujiu was quickly led inside. After passing through a water curtain of formation, they entered an antique palace.

In the magnificent hall, Jin Wujiu was enjoying himself immensely, with two male cultivators accompanying him and a female companion.

In the middle, a group of graceful dancers in gauze dresses danced lightly, their cigarettes wisps swirling in the air, creating a dreamlike and ethereal scene, like a celestial palace.

Ren Qingshan's heart suddenly trembled violently!

But it wasn't because of the scene before them.

Instead, through internal visualization, it was discovered that there was a fellow cultivator in this palace!

Ren Qingshan quickly scanned the two people and locked onto them.

He was a boy with a high nose, red lips and white teeth. He sat upright, looking somewhat reserved.

If we consider their positions, he is clearly at the very bottom.

"Ren Qingshan, come quick!"

Jin Wujiu waved.

Ren Qingshan, with his vast inner mortal energy, tightly concealed the aura of the remaining seal, smiled, and strode forward.

"Why did it take you so long to get here?"

"I've just arrived in Tiandu, so I'm not very familiar with the area."

"sit."

Next to the "fellow practitioners," separated by a woman, Ren Qingshan sat down as if nothing had happened, nodding and smiling at the others.

This feeling... is so exciting!

Right now I know him, but he doesn't know me. We're like mortal enemies, yet we're sitting together drinking!

But who knows, was it just a coincidence?

Or was it Jin Wujiu's deliberate arrangement?

He didn't ask me about the visualization diagram I created, but I was registered with the Immortal Sect when I created it. If he had that authority, he could easily find out.

With his mind racing, Ren Qingshan remained calm and, following Jin Wujiu's instructions, randomly selected a dancer to accompany him, putting on an act.

"The three of you were all handpicked by me."

"Ren Qingshan, with the Limitless Spiritual Root, is a cultivator from the Northern Region. He possesses a steadfast Dao heart and is resourceful and wise."

"Li Yao, with the Xunfeng spiritual root, is a cultivator from the sea region. He is extremely fast, three times the speed of a sword, and his array formations are also superb."

"Pang Feihong, with the Geng Metal spiritual root, is a Tiandu cultivator with decent combat strength. He also has a family-inherited unique skill, which I won't say now, you'll find out later."

"As is our unit's custom, we always work in teams of three. From this day forward, you three are comrades-in-arms, bound together by life and death, working hand in hand... Cheers!"

Jin Wujiu introduced himself and then raised his glass first with a smile.

The group clinked glasses and drank it all in one gulp.

A sip of sweetness went down his throat, and Ren Qingshan felt a slight dizziness, a fleeting feeling of euphoria. This wine... has power!

Even spiritual power, true qi, and divine sense cannot suppress it!

The wine seems to contain a trace of Taoist philosophy!

After more than a dozen breaths, Ren Qingshan finally regained consciousness, and another thought came to mind... It turned out that this fellow cultivator was named Pang Feihong!

Is there a family-inherited secret skill?

What could it be?

"Let's drink until we drop tonight! If we get drunk, we can rest here, catch up, and have a good time together. We have a long road ahead of us..."

Jin Wujiu is a good boss.

A special welcome party with music and entertainment was arranged for the three new members.

Ren Qingshan silently drank his wine, like a block of wood, ignoring the woman's flattery beside him, with only one thought in his mind.

—If we are both travelers in the Ten Directions, will we be turned into dust if we kill our teammates?

—Don't you do background checks when you recruit? Are we fellow practitioners of the same visualization method meant to be teammates who share life and death?
