Why is my Hundred Lifetimes Book different?

Jin Wujiu was slightly taken aback, then couldn't help but laugh out loud.

After breaking through to the fourth level of Qi Refining, this child became much more cheerful than before.

"No, please repeat."

He waved his hand and said that his mood had improved a bit.

Ren Qingshan thought for a moment and said, "I want a legitimate way to make money."

Jin Wujiu frowned slightly, his tone tinged with apology: "I'm afraid there isn't one either."

"With the Zheng family divided among three, even if there are legitimate sources of income, I'm afraid it won't be your turn. I don't have that authority within the family either."

"Of course, I can provide you with a way to make money through unconventional means. If this Worry-Free Pavilion isn't good enough, I'll add some others."

For families building their foundation, a legitimate source of income is extremely important.

Ren Qingshan's words were rather outrageous.

Having anticipated this outcome, Ren Qingshan wasn't upset. He simply asked, "May I ask one thing first? Is it possible to establish a foundation through the path of windfall wealth?"

Jin Wujiu glanced at him.

"Both are difficult."

"If one part is earned through legitimate means, then only half a part will be earned through windfall gains."

All the accumulations made in the Qi Refining Realm are preparations for Foundation Establishment.

Jin Wujiu was slightly surprised that Ren Qingshan had such great ambitions, but he did not want to lie to him.

"If that's the case, then I wish to enter the Heavenly Ruins."

Ren Qingshan never forgets his original aspiration.

The competition for resources within the Immortal Sect has reached its peak.

Even though he has now sided with the Jin family, he can only ensure the safety of the Ren family. As for any real benefits, how could he possibly get them?

Moreover, there are three families above the Jin family, making it difficult for them to rise to prominence.

With the Book of a Hundred Deaths in hand, the chaotic and disorderly Heavenly Ruins should be the place where I can rise to prominence and realize my grand ambitions!

"you……"

Jin Wujiu was quite disappointed in him.

He could understand when Ren Qingshan suggested going to Tianxu, since rogue cultivators could only risk their lives.

Right now, a path to wealth, prosperity, and a stable life is laid out before us. Why would we choose to go down that road?

Is it all for that elusive foundation building?

"You are currently at the fourth level of Qi Refining, and you are about to cultivate wealth. The Worry-Free Pavilion earns a lot of money every day. Although it is windfall, with this as a foundation, you will reach the fifth level of Qi Refining in three to five years."

"Why don't you take this easy path and insist on going to Tianxu to seek death?"

Ren Qingshan looked at him calmly, and shook his head with a smile.

"I don't want to cultivate windfall wealth; I want to cultivate wealth through proper means. But there are so many powerful immortal sects and families that they won't give me that opportunity."

"Perhaps I can also cultivate the Five Paths of Wealth. Since this method has been lost by the Immortal Sect, I will go to the Heavenly Ruins to try my luck."

"What you're saying is that everything in the Qi Refining Realm is preparation for Foundation Establishment."

"And I am determined to reach the Foundation Establishment stage."

"Even though it's still early, I will put my all into every floor and strive for perfection."

Hearing the boy's calm yet resolute voice, Jin Wujiu took a deep breath and was suddenly overwhelmed with an indescribable sense of awe.

The Qi Refining Stage has nine levels, each level representing a new realm.

Foundation building is like ascending to the heavens!

He never dared to imagine that he could successfully establish his foundation.

Unless one has great fortune, great opportunity, or great destiny.

Alternatively, one could stand out in the competition within the family and gain the full support of their father.

however……

Ren Qingshan... what gives you the right?

Thinking about all this, Jin Wujiu drank the wine in his cup in one gulp, not caring at all that some wine spilled onto his clothes.

This young man is truly speechless, yet his charm is undeniable.

"go!"

"Then let's go!"

"You son of a bitch, you're ruining my drinking session!"

"I want to go home and cultivate myself!"

He suddenly stood up and kicked the table over.

Ren Qingshan smiled brightly: "Sixth Brother, take care. Don't let me surpass your cultivation level, or I'll laugh at you."

"You dare? I'll cut off your path right now!"

Jin Wujiu made a gesture of raising his hand, but naturally did not lower it.

A moment later, he turned and left expressionlessly, leaving only one sentence that echoed in the hall.

"I'm waiting for you to surpass me!"

"Don't let me wait until I find a cold, lifeless corpse! Or even no remains at all!"

"Come see me at the department tomorrow!"

……

The next day.

Early in the morning.

Ren Qingshan left his home and headed to the Ten Directions Traveling Department.

Why does Jin Wujiu want to see me?

But it should be a good thing.

Arrived.

Jin Wujiu tossed a file over, expressionless: "Sign."

Ren Qingshan took it and glanced at it, then paused for a moment.

This was clearly a formality for a celestial sect member to "retreat for three years," retaining their position but with their monthly salary halved.

This... is naturally a benefit provided by the Immortal Sect for its active cultivators.

However, without the approval of the commander-in-chief, it would be absolutely impossible.

Even though the monthly salary is only half, with a cultivation level of the fourth level of Qi Refining, one can still earn 1,800 spirit stones every month.

At least in this capital city, there is enough to support a family.

Thanks.

"Sixth Brother."

Ren Qingshan laughed and joked.

Jin Wujiu is indeed very meticulous.

Yet, one can't help but feel a pang of emotion: in the Immortal Sect, only those with official positions are considered family.

Currently, I am ranked 2,143rd on the Qi Refining Ranking.

In a sense, he could be considered to have entered the ranks of "middle-level" cultivators.

In other words, those below the fourth level of Qi Refining are all ants, while those above the fourth level can barely be considered ant kings, who, even without doing any work, are still entitled to receive a salary.

"You're welcome."

"Take this letter and go to Jiaosu Pass to find City Lord Jin Fengming."

"He will handle matters related to Tianxu for you."

Jin Wujiu tossed over another jade slip.

Ren Qingshan casually took it, thought for a moment, and asked, "Is the entrance to the Heavenly Ruins at the Twenty-Eight Constellations Pass?"

When I first came to Tiandu City, I passed by these formidable passes, but I didn't know why at the time.

Now I understand.

"Um."

"Go early and come back early!"

"If it doesn't work, come back immediately!"

"My promise remains valid: I will marry the Jin family's daughter and become the Master of Wuyou Pavilion!"

Ren Qingshan laughed out loud.

Now, she found herself in the mood to tease him: "I wonder, which daughter of the Jin family is she? Is she pretty?"

"It was my fourteenth brother, Jin Yutang's daughter. He unfortunately died in battle a few months ago in the fight against the Zheng family."

"Worry-Free Pavilion was originally his property, but it was inherited by his legitimate daughter, Jin Miaoyin."

"My niece is stunningly beautiful, gentle, virtuous, and an excellent homemaker... Hmph, you're not so lucky!"

Ren Qingshan was filled with curiosity.

How could a woman like this marry down?

Taking a son-in-law as a bride and marrying down are completely different things.

Is it my turn yet?

"If that's the case, then there's no need to worry about getting married. Why is it my turn?"

Jin Wujiu slammed his fist on the table and roared, "I must have been blind to appreciate you! I wasted my breath throwing my eyelashes at a blind man!"

Ren Qingshan chuckled to himself.

After thinking for a moment, he said, "Calm down, calm down. If I come back alive, I will definitely go and meet this person."

"However, there is one more thing I would like to ask of you, sir."

Jin Wujiu: "Speak."

"I entrust the safety of my Ren family and clan to you, sir. If you return alive, I will reward you handsomely."

Ren Qingshan said solemnly.

Jin Wujiu took a deep breath, and his tone became more solemn: "You don't need to worry about this matter. I will have Li Yao take care of it at any time."

"In that case, thank you very much."

"Goodbye!"

A warm feeling welled up in Ren Qingshan's heart, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.

This journey leads to... Heavenly Ruins!

There's no such thing as never coming back!

Only by soaring to the top!
