Shrouding the Sky: The System Arrived Thirty Years Early

The entire Tianyu City was abuzz with the arrival of the Holy Maiden of Yaochi. Yaochi Stone Archway was packed with people almost every day, all eager to catch a glimpse of the Holy Maiden of Yaochi's unparalleled beauty.

And those scions of holy lands and aristocratic families who followed were all extraordinary talents in Tianyu City.

In the past few days, Tianyu City has been incredibly lively, as if it were a siphon, frantically attracting cultivators from the surrounding area.

Luo Qianqiu arrived just in time for this event.

"How about it, want to go and see Yaochi?" Lin Jia asked with interest.

But Luo Qianqiu shook his head without hesitation and said, "I won't go; it would only cause more trouble."

"Ah! Why?" Lin Jia originally wanted to see if Luo Qianqiu wanted to see the beauty of the Yaochi Saintess, but the answer she received surprised and intrigued her.

"I'm not used to bowing my head. If I don't have any conflicts with those scions of powerful families, it's fine. But if something really happens, I will never back down. So it's better to have less contact with them," Luo Qianqiu explained.

Lin Jia suddenly realized that friction is inevitable in interpersonal relationships, and the final result is either one party backing down or the two sides confronting each other.

Luo Qianqiu would not back down, and those scions of aristocratic families, who had been superior since birth, would naturally not back down either.

In such a situation, once friction occurs, it will inevitably escalate to a head-on confrontation, eventually leading to an uncontrollable situation.

Therefore, Luo Qianqiu simply avoided their sharp edge from the very beginning and went around them.

This isn't cowardice, but rather a clear understanding of oneself.

The premise that "I am not yet strong, and things will change when I am strong" is that you must first become strong.

At this time, Luo Qianqiu was undoubtedly still in his developmental stage, and he would certainly not gain the upper hand if he faced those scions of aristocratic families.

It's not that we can't beat those ordinary scions of powerful families, it's that we can't beat the forces behind them.

Luo Qianqiu didn't want to end up like Ye Fan in the original story, being hunted down by everyone.

Of course, if a conflict were to occur and Luo Qianqiu's bottom line were crossed, he would not hesitate to take action.

Whether you're from the Jiang family, the Ji family, or the Yao Guang family, if you touch his sore spot, it's either you or me who dies.

Life and death are bearish, if you don't agree, just do it!

Luo Qianqiu was rational, but he was by no means a coward. He always felt that there were some things that were more important than life and death.

For the rest of the day, Luo Qianqiu spent his time inquiring about information.

For example, what forces are in the city, and what are the identities of the scions of prominent families who came to Tianyu City this time?

It wasn't until the afternoon that Luo Qianqiu and Lin Jia found an inn to stay in. The first thing they did upon entering their room was to arrange the Dao patterns, which had almost become a habit for Luo Qianqiu.

The presence of Dao patterns can both prevent outsiders from suddenly barging in and prevent any noise from spreading out of the room.

After finishing everything, Luo Qianqiu glanced at Lin Jia, who had already begun cultivating, then sat cross-legged on the ground. With a thought, he brought up the panel, where the tasks had been refreshed.

"Mission: Before the age of seventy, fight and defeat the renowned prodigy."

"Reward: The phenomenon of the sea of ​​wheels that conforms to the ancient scriptures of cultivation."

The new mission refreshes after Luo Qianqiu kills Li Lao Er and receives the reward.

He originally thought this task would not be completed in a short time, but after entering Tianyu City today and learning that there were many scions of noble families in the city, Luo Qianqiu immediately thought of this task.

Although the young nobles who followed the Holy Maiden of Yaochi to Tianyu City this time were not the holy sons or divine sons of their respective forces, many of them were renowned and well-known, meeting the requirements of the panel.

In other words, as long as Luo Qianqiu takes action and defeats one of them, he can complete the panel task.

Inside the room, Luo Qianqiu unconsciously tapped his knee with his fingers.

"It's not the right time yet. I'm too weak right now and can't withstand any major storms."

With that thought in mind, Luo Qianqiu switched the panel to the achievements section.

He hadn't been able to claim his reward these past few days because he was on the road, but now that he'd settled down, it was time to do so.

Instantly, the feeling of his primordial spirit surging again resurfaced, and he was so excited that he almost groaned out loud, but he ultimately held back.

Time flew by, and the bright moon rose to its zenith. Only then did Luo Qianqiu breathe a sigh of relief, feeling the changes brought about by the enhancement of his primordial spirit.

First, the golden lake of divine consciousness between his brows expanded several circles due to the enhancement of his primordial spirit. Correspondingly, his five senses and divine perception also became several times stronger, and the world appeared completely new in his eyes.

Secondly, the body is lighter, and both strength and speed have undergone tremendous changes.

Although he hadn't tried it, Luo Qianqiu was certain that if he used the same amount of strength, the power he could unleash now would be several times greater than before.

Without a doubt, this is an evolution in all aspects.

After silently sensing for a long time, Luo Qianqiu finally took out the Jade Purification Bottle, retrieved the Fiery Red Source, and began cultivating.

The Heart's Divine Treasury belongs to the Fire element, which is the same as the Fiery Red Source. Absorbing its fire-attribute essence for cultivation will yield twice the results with half the effort.

"boom!"

The essence within the fiery red source was guided out, resembling raging flames, accompanied by a faint red glow, making it exceptionally beautiful and pure.

These fiery essences poured into Luo Qianqiu's body and then quickly converged into the Fire Dao Palace.

The spirit of the heart, like an unopened lotus flower, bursts forth with brilliant light after absorbing the essence of fire, resembling an unopened flame lotus.

Beside the deity was a piece of black celestial gold, covered with mysterious dragon patterns. It was solid and indestructible, and nourished by vital energy, the celestial gold shone with a dark light, from which the faint roar of dragons could be heard.

This is the Dragon Pattern Black Gold reward from the panel, about the size of a fist. Because there are no conditions to forge it, it has been staying in Luo Qianqiu's Dao Palace.

Time flies, and the night soon passed.

The next morning, Luo Qianqiu and Lin Jia left the inn and began to wander among various jade gambling shops.

This time, Luo Qianqiu kept a low profile, taking profits when he saw them at each jade gambling shop, and drastically reducing his output, keeping it at a success rate of five or six out of ten. He neither attracted too much attention, but his gains were still quite good.

Using this method, Luo Qianqiu quietly made a fortune, withdrawing after earning two or three hundred catties of raw materials from each gambling stone workshop.

By nightfall, he had quietly amassed over a thousand kilograms of source material, among which the more valuable pieces included two egg-sized pieces of fiery red source material and a fist-sized piece of earthy yellow source material.

Today, his net worth has reached an astonishing 2,500 jin!

Back at the inn, Luo Qianqiu resumed his cultivation as usual. With the blessing of the Fiery Source, the cultivation speed of his Heart's Divine Treasury was astonishing.

When the next morning arrived, the lotus flower, which looked like it hadn't yet bloomed, became even more fiery red, truly resembling a sun hanging inside the body.

Luo Qianqiu opened his eyes, looked at the bright sky, and knew it was time to get to work.

"Now that I have enough capital, I can buy a large amount of Originium at once, bring it back, and slowly process it."

Aside from the top-tier stone garden in the Holy City, the source stones from most other stone workshops can actually be bought and then cut.

Previously, Luo Qianqiu lacked sufficient capital and needed to gamble to earn money, then buy stones to gamble again, which is why he cut stones on-site at the stone workshop.

Now that we have enough capital, we don't need to do that anymore. We can buy a large amount of Originium at once, cut it up privately, and then go to the stone workshop to buy more.

This greatly enhances the level of secrecy.

……

In the following days, Luo Qianqiu was seen at various jade gambling shops. He seemed to be buying goods, purchasing hundreds of kilograms of source stones from each shop, but instead of cutting them on the spot, he took them back with him.

This behavior is somewhat strange, because many people who gamble on stones enjoy the atmosphere of cutting stones in the gambling hall; they don't get that feeling when cutting stones in private.

But as strange as it was, it didn't attract much attention, simply because such behavior is rare, but there are always exceptions, so it didn't seem too odd.
