Why is my Hundred Lifetimes Book different?

A war to "annihilate the sect".

It ended in less than an hour.

These "immortal sects" of the eight hundred peaks of Juetian are all renowned, but under the force of a single finger, they are as insignificant as clay chickens and earthenware dogs.

"Please spare my life, senior!"

The long-tailed alien, dangling in mid-air, wailed.

Ren Qingshan looked at him indifferently.

This creature is named "Long Tail," and according to Wu Yan, it is a descendant of the Nuwa clan.

The Nuwa clan was once a widely spread bloodline in this Heavenly Ruins. This clan was skilled in the "Way of Blood Combination" and could often create all sorts of strange and wonderful creatures. Some succeeded, some failed, but most of them perished in one great calamity after another.

Longtail Xiu "fed blood," feeding on blood.

His cultivation level is roughly equivalent to the sixth level of Body Refinement.

However, he possesses a unique supernatural power called "Sea of ​​Blood".

It can transform into a sea of ​​blood, possessing almost limitless vitality, unless the blood core is shattered.

For some unknown reason, he was always the primary target of the Heavenly Calamity and Humanity Tribulation in the Heavenly Ruins.

However, he always manages to escape death, and even if his cultivation level drops drastically, he can recover in a short time.

Therefore, even those cultivators within a radius of tens of thousands of miles who were more powerful than him did not deliberately make things difficult for him, nor did they use him as a signal that a great calamity was about to befall them.

This repair is quite smooth.

Whenever a calamity is sensed, someone is sent in advance to notify the major cultivators so that they can make preparations in advance.

at this time.

Ren Qingshan wanted to spare his life.

After all, he was afraid of the great calamity of Tianxu.

Having a weather vane and being able to prepare in advance is not a bad thing.

But that doesn't stop them from looting first.

He was about to complete the cultivation of the five paths of wealth, namely legitimate wealth and wealth through knowledge; what he desperately needed was a blood transfusion.

"Hand over all the sect's valuables, cultivation techniques, and jade slips... and I'll spare your life."

Ren Qingshan said indifferently.

Upon hearing this...

Longtail immediately nodded like a chick pecking at rice: "I'll hand it over, I'll hand it over."

He narrowly escaped death once again... He sighed inwardly.

I'm used to it by now.

My life is truly filled with endless tribulations!

Good heavens, it's like God is targeting me specifically!

Every time I make a small fortune or encounter some good luck, disaster strikes immediately!

every time!

Without a single exception.

Moreover, it's impossible to guard against; you have no idea why or in what way it will happen!

Like this time...

This man refers to someone who has been practicing meditation on the summit of a snowy mountain for over a hundred years, living a secluded life and rarely appearing in public.

But this time, they came looking for me!

With a flick of its mouth, the long tail spat out two storage bags from its sea of ​​blood.

His eyes were blank.

To be a stepping stone for others is, in a way, my destiny.

admit!

As long as you're alive!

Ren Qingshan saw that the two storage bags were exceptionally well-made, clearly the work of a master craftsman, and should be from the Qinghua Immortal Sect. He took a look at them and was slightly taken aback.

One of them was entirely made of spirit stones.

Although they were all low-grade spirit stones, they were so densely packed that they resembled a mountain of spirit stones.

No more, no less, exactly a million.

Among them were dozens of jade slips, which, when scanned with divine sense, were all records of cultivators paying cultivation taxes.

Is this a spiritual stone used for cultivation tax collection?

Ren Qingshan was overjoyed.

If it were ordinary spirit stones, that would be fine, but this tax spirit, I would naturally have my share.

Received!

I've paid a lot of "spiritual tax," and now I'm finally seeing a return on my investment.

But where did these spirit stones come from?

Could he be a tax collector who defected from the Qinghua Immortal Sect?

As Ren Qingshan thought this, he glanced at the ground, where Si Xuanzhen was still talking to the two of them.

Ask again later.

Let's look at the next storage bag.

The second storage bag contained books, cultivation techniques, jade slips, and even dozens of visualization diagrams, from bottom C to top A, but not top A.

His divine sense swept over the pages one by one, from the first level of Qi Refining to the ninth level, various cultivation insights, Taoist techniques, secret methods, and orderly lineages.

It's a complete lineage!

"Where did you get it from?"

This is something that cultivators from the Heavenly Ruins could never possess.

Long Tail said in a low voice, "Those are the two demonic cultivators below, surnamed Zheng. They were traveling at night and killed one of my blood slaves deep underground. I chased after them and finally captured them."

"These two are exceptionally cunning. When I was chasing them, they secretly hid the two storage bags underground and then fled in the opposite direction. If I hadn't had a flash of inspiration, I really wouldn't have been able to find them."

The Zheng family?

Ren Qingshan's heart stirred slightly.

Zheng Bofang died in the Foundation Establishment Battle, but it is clear that someone from the Zhao family escaped, such as Zheng Qi, the former city lord of Jiaosu City.

This kind of Foundation Establishment family has many tendrils and must have branches in this Heavenly Ruins.

The building collapsed, and the occupants, carrying various valuables, scattered and fled.

Even if the Jin family, the Gongsun family, and the Liang family all joined forces, they might not be able to wipe them all out.

Furthermore...

Regarding this battle, Ren Qingshan didn't think much of it before, only that it was normal for three people to fight one and kill him.

However, after learning the secret of the Heavenly Book and hearing about Zhuge Sheng's past, I felt that there might be other hidden stories behind it.

Perhaps it's a struggle at a higher level.

The foundation building is due to the heavenly book "bestowed" upon us from above.

However, if something can be given as a reward, there is naturally a way to take it away.

Even if those in power don't intervene, simply revealing the direction of the wind is enough to get others to do their bidding.

Despite this speculation, the current level of struggle is still far from our reach.

Ren Qingshan composed himself and put away the two storage bags.

This time, the harvest was truly abundant.

A complete set of Qi cultivation techniques!

Whether for establishing a family or a clan, it is a treasure!

……

"Have you asked clearly?"

Ren Qingshan landed in high spirits and looked at the two people.

Si Xuanzhen said coldly, "They are the immortal slaves of the Zheng family, named Zheng Twenty-Three and Zheng Twenty-Four. After the Zheng family was destroyed, they escaped into the Heavenly Ruins through Jiao Su Pass. There were seventeen groups in total, and this is one of them!"

"They don't know where the others went either."

"The final gathering point is in Tianfeng Valley."

"I've never heard of this place before. They've seen a map and said that if you keep going north, it's about 600,000 li away."

Ren Qingshan frowned slightly, and without asking anything else, asked first, "You confessed very readily?"

Si Xuanzhen was taken aback, then nodded: "Yes, very straightforward."

"Simply"... that's not quite right.

Even though there are seventeen routes, which is already quite scattered, they are still carrying so many treasures. I'm afraid there might be more than seventeen routes, and even eighteenth and nineteenth routes.

That might be the Zheng family's most valuable and core treasure!

This kind of "saturation-style division" is truly a grand undertaking.

These celestial servants are all consumables. Like the one I encountered before, they would often self-destruct in times of danger, preferring to perish together with others rather than become prisoners.

The two of them not only explained the reason for their actions, but also revealed their destination.

This must be a backup plan by the Zheng family!

The Heavenly Ruins are vast and boundless, spanning 600,000 li, which is equivalent to three round trips from Shanyang County to Tiandu... Could it be that the Zheng family has mastered the entire geomantic map of the Heavenly Ruins?

No wonder he was able to obtain the Heavenly Creation Instrument.

Moreover, there are people waiting to meet us in Tianfeng Valley!

Various thoughts raced through Ren Qingshan's mind as he looked at the two Zheng family servants, only to find them expressionless.

"Do you have anything else to say?"

The two looked up, their lips curling into a sly smile.

"Our master instructed us that if we were caught on the way, we should tell everyone we know."

"Treasures, all treasures!"

"Hurry up and go find it, or it'll be too late! Hahahaha!"

Ren Qingshan remained expressionless.

What these two servants know is probably what the Zheng family wants others to know.

The information they didn't want others to know, the two immortal servants certainly didn't know either.

As for this kind of rhetoric...

But is it really bait? Or is it a ploy to provoke a reaction from someone else?

Or, can the two be converted at any time?

This, too, is a calculated move.

You'll never know unless you go into the tiger's den.

But once you're in the tiger's den, you might lose control of your own destiny.

However... for myself, it might be worthwhile to explore it.

With such strong backing, the Zheng family couldn't possibly be hiding a Foundation Establishment cultivator, could they?

If that's the case, then I have a good chance of reaching the Foundation Establishment stage!
