Why is my Hundred Lifetimes Book different?

Ren Jiaping sat on a sandalwood chair, picked up a cup of spiritual tea that was almost cold, sipped it contentedly, and savored the aroma of the tea. He felt that the spiritual energy within his body was circulating faster.

He had just seen off the two people who had brought him to Tiandu City, Da Xiu and Ya Xing, and had even signed his name on this gold contract.

Having served as county magistrate for several years, Ren Jiaping had signed many documents, but for the first time, he felt that his own name looked so pleasing to the eye.

Comfortable!

"Dad, what are we having for dinner tonight? Go out and buy some rice and vegetables."

"Qingshan, when will Qingshan return?"

Ren Li's voice revealed a sense of restraint.

Carried by an immortal, we flew for most of the day and arrived at the capital of the Great Qi Dynasty, where we were given a house. Today's experience was truly like a dream.

That mountain is huge!

The sea has so much beautiful blue water!

This city is unsettling to look at.

Where can I buy groceries?

"I brought some dry food. You can have some for now, and we'll talk more when Qingshan comes back. He'll definitely be back today."

"Something big must have happened."

"I'm going to check on the children."

Ren Jiaping said in a deep voice, stood up, and walked towards the backyard.

Three children, all under ten years old, were practicing martial arts in the courtyard under the cover of night. They had been flying all day, but they couldn't afford to waste any time.

They were all boys, strong and sturdy, with lively eyes... three very clever little rascals.

According to his son's letter, one of the three branches of the Ren family should be chosen first and then stay in Tiandu.

This is the capital city!

On the way, I asked the immortal master who could fly how far Shanyang was from the sky.

The immortal master smiled and replied, "It's still about 100,000 miles."

Then he asked, "Has my Qingshan gotten into any trouble?"

The immortal master replied, "You haven't caused any trouble. You're quite promising. Serving Lord Jin will lead you to a meteoric rise in your career!"

Ren Jiaping naturally knew who Lord Jin was.

Jin Wujiu, Lord Jin, comes from a Foundation Establishment family.

Those three characters are now hung outside the family ancestral hall as a talisman to ward off evil spirits.

Of course, Ren Jiaping couldn't help but feel a bit of anxiety, thinking that "serving a ruler is like serving a tiger." Having taken the benefits from others, he naturally had to work for them.

They're risking their lives to sell their products!

life……

Sometimes they are very powerful; in just over a decade, they have transformed the Ren family from a remote mountain village to the capital.

Sometimes it's very weak, and it can disappear in an instant.

Looking at his three diligent children, and silently pondering these thoughts, Ren Jiaping exhaled a breath of stale air.

"Mother, I'm back."

"Where's my dad?"

Suddenly hearing voices, Ren Jiaping stood up abruptly and saw his son, dressed in a blue robe, walking from the main hall. He was composed and handsome, with a slight smile on his lips.

"Green Mountain".

Although they had only parted recently, Ren Jiaping felt as if he had a thousand words to say, but he didn't know where to begin. After thinking for a moment, he said in a deep voice, "Take me out for a walk, get some wine, some meat, firewood, rice, oil, and salt. Your mother is still hungry."

"I'll buy those tomorrow."

"Come on... Mother, brothers, I'll take you to the best restaurant in Tiandu to eat spirit food!"

That night.

Ren Qingshan and his family spent over 800 spirit stones on a single meal at the most luxurious restaurant in Tiandu City.

After sending his family home, Ren Qingshan took his father on a tour of most of Tiandu, admiring the city's prosperity!

Although the capital city is vast.

Of those myriad lights, only the Ren family's is lit.

And this immortal sect...

This immortal sect!

One day, I will stand at the highest point!

……

In the blink of an eye.

That was three days later.

Early in the morning.

In a dilapidated old house in the outer city of Tiandu, Liu Yunsong opened his eyes from meditation, carefully tidied his clothes, went out, and first went to a nearby talisman-making shop. He called Lu Jiyue, and after she explained things to the shopkeeper, the two of them headed to the Battle Hall.

This battle is now almost a household name in Tiandu City.

The two junior cultivators from Shanyang County were busy making a living every day and had no leisure to watch a battle.

But this time is different.

One of the opponents was named Ren Qingshan.

Refining Qi to the third level, traversing the ten directions, amidst green mountains, old friends from Shanyang!

The two remained silent throughout the journey, each lost in their own thoughts.

"Teacher Liu, do you think Ren Qingshan still recognizes us? It's been several years since we last met."

Lu Jiyue's voice was soft.

"What does it matter if we don't know him or not? We're not going to curry favor with him."

Liu Yunsong said calmly.

Several years have passed since he stepped down as the guardian immortal master, and his temples have turned gray. Now he works as a talisman maker in the talisman workshop. When he came to Tiandu, he consulted Lu Jiyue's opinion. She wanted to come, so he brought her along.

After studying for more than ten years, he mastered the skill of making talismans, ensuring he would never starve, no matter where he went.

Even in this capital city, life was rather austere.

"That's true, let's just consider it a chance to see the charm of an old friend."

"This gives me a little more hope for this path to immortality... But when will it ever end?"

Lu Jiyue was filled with emotion.

"He might die in this battle."

Liu Yunsong glanced at his apprentice and said calmly.

"Master?"

Lu Jiyue didn't understand what her master meant by those words, but she didn't detect any malicious jealousy in them.

"If you just want to be an ordinary cultivator, then every day is just endurance... If you want to one day be seen by all the cultivators in the world, then you have to ask yourself, can you bear the price of dying at any moment?"

"If I die in the future, whether I die peacefully in bed or at sea, please tell this to my son."

"Then he can make his own choice."

Before the price of Qi Refining Talismans increased, Liu Yunsong spent all his savings to buy one for his son. However, his son was still young and did not understand these principles. In the twenty years he had been in Shanyang County, he had taken on several apprentices, but now, he only had this female apprentice by his side.

"I remember, Master."

Lu Jiyue knew that her master seemed to have made that decision, but she didn't ask.

Just like many years ago, my father made the same choice. After years of refining Qi, he chose to go to the sea to see if he could find an opportunity. Before leaving, he entrusted his young self to Master Liu, his lifelong friend...

Then, he never returned.

……

The area in front of the Battle Hall was already packed with people.

Even that huge square couldn't accommodate all the people of Tiandu who loved to watch the excitement.

To enter the Battle Hall to watch the battle, ten spirit stones are required.

So the master and disciple chose to meet outside the hall.

The enormous water mirror-like reflection in the sky will also show the scene of the battle.

I waited for almost two hours...

Figures began to appear in the water mirror. In that magnificent formation, two teenagers stood face to face, separated by a great distance.

Battle is imminent.

……

On the battlefield.

Zheng Yi's eyes swept across the crowd, finally settling on Ren Qingshan across from him. His face was grim, and he felt a deep sense of injustice.

Over the past three days, all information about Ren Qingshan has been widely circulated and discussed.

The Zheng family had already investigated and found out that Ren Qingshan came from the extremely barren Northern Region and was just a minor official. Although he served as a lackey for the Jin family, that was something that happened later.

So... on what grounds?

How could he condense the remnant of Pangu's might?

Why would he possess that incredibly powerful sword?

How dare I, a descendant of such a noble family, be disgraced and fight him to the death here!

And... why, until last night, did I not have the courage to try to solidify the remaining seal? Even less courage did I have to choose to dissipate my power!

At this time.

Zheng Yi heard Ren Qingshan's calm voice, which even carried a hint of amusement.

"What are you shaking for?"

"rest assured."

"My sword is very fast."

……
