Why is my Hundred Lifetimes Book different?

who are you?

You are the middle finger of that Mighty Immortal!

Ren Qingshan thought to himself.

This is quite normal; it's understandable that they want to find out about their identity and background.

After all, a finger without roots or connections drifts alone between heaven and earth.

If it were me, I would also search for it.

Ren Qingshan continued watching.

This diary is not very long or wordy, and the entries are extremely fragmented, consisting mostly of keywords, making it difficult to understand.

Only the general outline is clear.

It's nothing more than a story about a missing finger looking for its mother.

However, one page in particular caught Ren Qingshan's attention.

On that page of paper.

He wrote the character "Zhao".

赵？

The Zhao family?

Ren Qingshan recalled that the Zhao family, who had once reached the Foundation Establishment stage, had killed Fang Tianxing and was later wiped out in the Heavenly Ruins.

But it's hard to say.

After all, Zhao is a common surname.

"Brother Wangxi, are there any cultivators surnamed Zhao among the eight hundred peaks of Jue Tian?"

Ren Qingshan asked casually.

Wang Xi was holding a horn that was entirely white like jade, looking as if she were weeping and lamenting.

"Your surname is Zhao?"

"Never heard of it."

"You can ask Red-Eye; he has a wide circle of friends and goes out much more often than I do."

"Fine, I'll go back and ask for you."

Remembering that the two had just fought, Wang Xi changed his mind.

"Alright, then I'll trouble you."

"I'll look at something here; you can go back now."

There are many things left here.

There are both documents and fragments, which can be used for academic research.

There are also various kinds of gold, silver, spirit stones, weapons, etc., which can be considered windfall gains.

As a top expert in the area of ​​the Eight Hundred Peaks of Jue Tian, ​​Man Zhi's wealth has naturally become extremely considerable over time.

Wang Xi hesitated for a moment, glanced at the wealth scattered on the ground, took a deep breath, and then politely took his leave.

Although the treasure was tempting, it had already been agreed that only the horn would be taken.

"Oh, right, this Man Zhi Xiu possesses a technique called the Unbound Dharma Body. Would you like to cultivate it?"

Ren Qingshan casually teased him.

Upon hearing this...

Wang Xi's face darkened, and he waved his hand with a wry smile.

He pointed wildly, with just one finger, showing no shame whatsoever; who around him wouldn't laugh?

But how could I fix it myself?

Moreover, I already possess the Dharma body.

"You fix it, I'm not fortunate enough to do so."

He muttered to himself as he walked out of the cave.

Ren Qingshan smiled slightly, closed the cave door again, and began to read in detail.

The most urgent task at hand is still the Five Gods of Wealth.

Now, we have achieved success in both having children and accumulating good karma. What remains are the three paths of earning money, gaining wealth, and acquiring knowledge.

Ren Qingshan plans to wait until the five paths to the God of Wealth are fully completed before considering returning to Tiandu.

After all, Wu Shu had told him that this method was strictly prohibited within the Immortal Sect.

……

The following days.

Ren Qingshan then focused on his studies every day.

He used his divine sense to read and transcribe all the books in the treasure trove, even those that were incomplete, recording them for future use or when the opportunity arose.

The golden-blue wealth of knowledge within his body grows daily, and opening a book is always beneficial.

The luck of windfall gains also increases day by day.

Having grown tired of reading, Ren Qingshan began to organize the storage bags that had been left behind in the treasure vault, totaling fifty-seven, and opened them one by one.

Behind each storage bag lies a cultivator, representing a chapter of their life.

From the remaining items in that bag, one can vaguely glimpse a corner of their lives.

There was a leader of a tribe of strange people whose bag was filled with skulls—the skulls of those who had died in battle. This tribe believed that their dead would protect them.

Besides the skull, there were also many spirit stones, amounting to approximately one million.

There was a strange woman whose bag contained not only ordinary valuables but also various mirrors and her own paintings. Judging from the paintings, she was indeed a beauty of unparalleled grace and charm. However... she had already turned into a pile of bones.

They don't have much wealth, but they have a lot of random, shiny things.

There was an old cultivator, whose identity is unknown, who recorded all the cultivation techniques and supernatural abilities he had ever seen in his life, compiling them into a book called "A Collection of Supernatural Abilities".

It encompasses various methods such as Qi Refining, Body Refinement, Blood Demon Path, White Bone Path, Joyful Union Path, Witchcraft and Ghost Path, Myriad Souls Path, Demon Cultivation Method, Moonlight Method, Sunlight Method, Qi Consumption Method, Incense Path, Gu Cultivation Method, Soul Consciousness Path, Zombie Path, Asura Path, Merit Cultivation Method, and more.

Although none of them provided detailed cultivation methods, they greatly broadened Ren Qingshan's knowledge.

Just reading this one book will increase your knowledge and wealth.

This day.

Ren Qingshan felt dizzy from reading and opened another storage bag.

The bag was completely empty of spirit stones, not a single one remained. It was now filled with all sorts of special materials from the Heavenly Ruins, a diverse array in considerable quantities.

In addition to these, there are five jade slips, three of which record information about the various supplies purchased during this trip to Tianxu.

Of the other two.

One is an account book, recording the interactions and gift-giving with merchants and people in Tianxu.

The major players were Duobao Trading Company, Fuqi Trading Company, and Huajia Trading Company.

The key figure among them was Zheng Qi, the former city lord of Jiaosu Pass, a member of the Zheng family.

The second one is also an account book.

He is a key figure among the various cultivators from the Eight Hundred Peaks of Absolute Heaven, capable of doing business, and possesses a distinct personality and preferences.

This……

Ren Qingshan was genuinely surprised.

Previously, I had also considered opening up a trade route between Tianxu and Qinghua, but I didn't expect that someone had already done it.

Although they acted in secrecy, they were truly formidable figures.

Is this information and intelligence already outdated?

Ren Qingshan pondered for a moment, then carefully put the treasure away, preparing to explore it after he had fully digested the treasure.

……

In the blink of an eye.

Nearly two months have passed.

Ren Qingshan has already digested everything in the treasure of the barbarian's finger.

A few days ago, my luck in unexpected wealth completely accumulated, giving rise to a minor supernatural ability: the "Free and Easy Fishing Rod".

This supernatural power can be used to fish for opportunities within a radius of ten miles.

The effect is indeed miraculous, but the scope is somewhat limited.

After all, this Heavenly Ruins is extremely vast, often stretching for thousands of miles without seeing a single person.

However, if you have enough patience, you will definitely reap some rewards.

Knowledge and wealth are still eleven strands short.

There aren't enough books in this treasure trove.

Fortunately, most of it has been completed, and the remaining little bit will soon be enough to accumulate.

The Five Paths of Wealth is indeed a cultivation method that relies heavily on resources.

If I hadn't obtained the [Mysterious Female Egg-Born] supernatural power, killed a powerful cultivator at the ninth level of Body Refinement, accumulated good karma with my ancestors, and obtained the Barbarian Finger Treasure... I don't know how long it would have taken to accumulate all that merit.

It will take at least a decade or more.

Even so, there are still two roads that have not yet been completed.

Of the knowledge and skills, eleven strands remain.

There are only three strands of direct wealth, leaving ninety-seven strands remaining.

It's unimaginable how abundant the resources were for those cultivators at the fourth level of Qi Refining in the past.

However, advancing from the fourth level of Qi Refining to the fifth level is a very difficult hurdle in itself.

Thinking about it this way...

The Immortal Sect has banned the Five Paths of Wealth, allowing its cultivators to advance in rank by focusing solely on righteous wealth and windfall gains. While this may seem like a shortcut, it is not necessarily a bad thing.

At least it provides a path to advancement for cultivators who lack sufficient resources.

Ren Qingshan was both amused and exasperated.

I haven't yet seen the whole picture of this matter. Only after I become a high-ranking member of the Immortal Sect and learn more details will I be able to make a judgment.

"Walk!"

They looted everything from the treasure vault of the barbarians, leaving Qingshan behind as a streak of light.

They rushed towards the "Lingxiao Palace".
