Why is my Hundred Lifetimes Book different?

On this day, Ren Qingshan and his two companions arrived at Burning Heaven City.

This city is 50,000 miles away from the capital, and the climate is exceptionally hot. The earth fire burns year-round, but the immortal sect uses formations to seal, guide, and cultivate many spiritual materials related to fire.

The three of them stayed at an inn in the city.

Early in the morning, Li Yao went out first and returned shortly afterward. He called Ren Qingshan and Pang Feihong, closed the door, and took out a pile of pills and talismans, which filled the table.

This……

Ren Qingshan was slightly taken aback and looked at him with a puzzled expression.

"Brothers, I have something to tell you."

"The three of us, having entered the Ten Directions Journey, have mostly the same thoughts: firstly, to find a backer, and secondly, to compete over the method of visualization. To be honest, I have now reached a very critical moment, and I cannot do without the help of the two of you."

Pang Feihong's eyes flickered slightly, and he smiled, saying, "Brother Yao, has the incomplete seal been formed? Are you facing a battle to the death?"

He didn't ask Li Yao what kind of visualization method he was practicing. This was a great secret of cultivators, and it was not to be spoken of lightly unless one was a close friend in life or death. It was also a customary rule.

"It would be great if it could be repaired into a fragmented seal!"

"The problem is, I haven't yet mastered the incomplete seal, but the number of remaining thoughts in that visualization has suddenly decreased significantly. Yesterday, one of my fellow practitioners died, so if nothing unexpected happens, someone must have already mastered the incomplete seal!"

"I'm afraid it won't be long before they come knocking on our door."

Li Yao's eyes were bitter, and his usual cheerful and lively demeanor was gone.

Ren Qingshan asked thoughtfully, "What kind of visualization practice is Brother Yao cultivating?"

Pang Feihong was taken aback and looked at Ren Qingshan in surprise, thinking to himself that Qingshan was really reckless. Was this something that could be asked so casually? However, Ren Qingshan came from the Northern Region. The Northern Region was a place with scarce spiritual energy, and its cultivators were known for their cunning and bravery.

"It is a visualization method of the second level. There are 7 fellow practitioners, and 3 are still left. My hand seal is still short of nearly 10,000 thoughts, and my understanding is not enough."

Li Yao needed someone's help at this time, so he didn't say anything, only giving a brief explanation.

Ren Qingshan noticed Pang Feihong's gaze and Li Yao's answer, and immediately realized that the visualization techniques he practiced were probably private matters that couldn't be discussed too much.

They fell silent for a moment.

"Brother Yao, the three of us are of one mind, bound by life and death, so helping is of course no problem. However, the opponent has condensed a remnant seal, so his strength has naturally increased greatly. Do the three of us think we can defeat him?"

"Besides, it's not impossible that the other side has allies..."

Pang Feihong frowned as he spoke.

"You don't need to worry about that. I have my own ways of handling it. How could I let the two of you bear the brunt of the burden?"

"I will be in the open, you will be in the shadows, protecting me and handling two scenarios. First, if the enemy sends reinforcements, you will either engage them or lure them away. Second, if the enemy comes alone, I will fight him to the bitter end, and then you will seize the opportunity to strike!"

"Of course, if things go badly, you can evade first, or use your status as a member of the Ten Directions Walker to avoid trouble. Unless it's a life-or-death feud, the other side won't go after you all."

"When you two face a debate about visualization in the future, I will do my best to help you!"

As Li Yao spoke these words, he added some kind words. Seeing that the two had no objections, he began to distribute the pills and talismans on the table.

There are three types of pills: the Heavenly Spirit Pill for restoring spiritual power, the Qi and Blood Pill for restoring blood and qi, and the Divine Mind Pill for restoring spiritual consciousness.

One bottle for each person.

There are three types of talismans: the Ten Thousand Swords Talisman for attack, the Golden Light Talisman for defense, and the Thousand Miles Without a Trace Talisman for escape. There are two Ten Thousand Swords Talismans and two Golden Light Talismans, and one Thousand Miles Without a Trace Talisman.

"I'll be relying on you two brothers for the time being!"

He stood up, bowed deeply, and presented a solemn salute.

Ren Qingshan and Pang Feihong quickly stood up to return the greeting and exchanged a few polite words.

……

Next, when measuring the ground underground, the three-person team became extremely cautious, always keeping one person fully alert.

Given the current situation, Ren Qingshan couldn't help but weigh the pros and cons.

Previously, seeing Fang Shouyi's meditation contest, despite his pride as a sword cultivator, he hired a helper to launch a sneak attack, which succeeded... I felt quite disdainful of this.

Now, the boomerang has arrived, and I have become a character like that "red-clad female cultivator".

This kind of struggle is true regardless of right or wrong.

If you don't find help, but someone else does, you're doomed!

Just like the saying goes: nobility is the epitaph of the noble, and baseness is the passport of the base!

Qingyun Road is nothing short of a cannibalistic road!

……

This anticipated battle unexpectedly arrived three days later.

noon.

North of Burning Heaven City.

Bafang Inn.

The three stayed at an inn in the city, while their opponent brazenly and openly arrived, standing outside Li Yao's door and knocking on it.

This was a tall, slender young man with a handsome face and an uncontrollable pride between his brows. He was dressed in white, with a long sword hanging at his waist.

"Fellow Daoist!"

"I've come to collect my things!"

"It's time!"

Inside the room, Li Yao, who was sitting cross-legged, suddenly changed his expression. This person was far too arrogant!

Surprisingly, Da Guangming came knocking on our door!

Taking a deep breath, Li Yao's eyes flickered as he quickly calmed himself down, his expression cold and stern, and he got out of bed and went out.

"I've been waiting for you for a long time!"

"Oh? You've actually joined the Ten Directions Walker Rank of the Immortal Sect? Ha, what a cowardly little coward!"

The boy's voice was full of disdain.

The struggle over visualization techniques is the right path of the Great Dao. Even if the other party has the status of a Celestial Sect, the Celestial Sect will not say anything if they die in such a struggle. In this glorious Celestial Sect, people die every day.

Of course, there is one advantage to entering a position in the Immortal Sect: it allows one to curry favor, build connections, and gain more helpers.

But Lin Zhiheng disdained to do it.

at this time.

Upon hearing the noise, Ren Qingshan came out of his room and was immediately attacked with the word "rat" by Fan. He glanced at the boy, his eyes remaining calm.

"You're not a coward! Then what are you? Exceptionally talented? Or born into a prestigious family? Shine your own light, and if I die by your hand, I, Li Yao, will accept it. But this name of coward will be returned to me!"

Li Yao's eyes flashed with anger as he glared at him through gritted teeth.

What right do you have to insult me!

Do ordinary cultivators not even have the right to live?

I, Li Yao, have gone through countless hardships since I was a boy from a fishing village, and now I have reached the third level of Qi Refining. You have never experienced the hardships I have gone through, and you do not know why I have come this far. What gives you the right to judge me like this?

"snort!"

"I'm too lazy to waste words with you! Dare to fight me? Lava Peak outside the city!"

"I am but one man with one sword!"

"Do as you please!"

Lin Zhiheng said proudly, issuing a challenge directly, even stating that he came alone but was not afraid to take on three people at once.

"That sounds nice, but who knows if you're lying?"

"I'm not going to Lava Peak, do you dare come with me?"

"I'll decide on the location!"

Li Yao was not easily provoked and was extremely particular about the location of the battle. This was a life-or-death struggle, and there was no room for sentimentality. He had to be extra careful.

The day before yesterday, he had set up a formation outside the city as a precaution.

"what ever."

"please!"

Lin Zhiheng didn't seem to mind at all and gestured for him to proceed.

Li Yao took a deep breath, went back into the house to pack his things, and handed the package in his hand to Ren Qingshan: "If I die, there is a letter inside. Please give it to my parents. As for the rest, you and Feihong can divide it."

Li Yao strode downstairs, settled his room bill with the innkeeper, and then headed out of the city.

Lin Zhiheng followed leisurely.

Ren Qingshan and Pang Feihong followed behind the two men as they left the city.

What Ren Qingshan didn't expect was that several cultivators who had been eating at the inn had also come over, seemingly to watch the excitement.

……
