After clearing the level, the fairies were reborn!

Did you obtain a fragment of a supreme treasure from Central Continent?

A tattered page of an ancient book?

A mysterious book that requires a special method to activate...?

Xu Ze's hand unconsciously reached for his storage bag.

There, lying quietly, was a yellowed, fragmented page of an ancient book.

The person they're talking about is definitely right.

That's Wan Yi from Biyang.

He suspected at the time that this page of the ancient book was extraordinary.

Now, listening to the conversation of these scions of prominent families, Xu Ze was almost certain—

The "fragment of the Heavenly Book" obtained by the "ridiculous" cultivator from the Southern Continent that they spoke of was the same thing as the ancient book in their hands.

Most importantly, Xu Ze has been relying on the information he has obtained through the system's "Eye of Appraisal".

Only by probing with the divine sense of a [Refining Void] stage cultivator can one complete the recognition of this page of the 'Heavenly Book Fragment' as their own.

Refining the void period.

That was a realm he had not yet reached, a level of cultivation that [Lanbo Maru] had never been able to help him achieve.

Therefore, one must rely on their own genuine skills and abilities to achieve a breakthrough.

However, I don't think there will be any difficulties.

However, he wanted to double-check the information on this page of 'heavenly scripture' so that he wouldn't make a mistake.

A profound meaning flashed in Xu Ze's eyes.

He raised his head, looked at the group of aristocratic scions still chatting and laughing, and suddenly spoke:

"What is the name of the cultivator from the Southern Continent that you all mentioned?"

Not far away.

Hu Zhilan was slightly taken aback by the girl in the yellow dress, then said disdainfully:

"What? You still want to go see him?"

"He's just a swindler; he's probably disappeared somewhere long ago."

Cui Lin seemed thoughtful: "Fellow Daoist, are you interested in this person? Could it be... you've also heard of the rumors surrounding the 'Heavenly Book'?"

"Not really, it's just that we come from the same place. If you know him, I'd like to ask you about his past."

Xu Ze remained expressionless.

"I don't know much, but I heard from my brother in the family that this person's surname is Wan."

Cui Lin was quite honest.

Xu Ze nodded: "Thank you."

After saying that, he turned and left, his figure quickly disappearing into the bustling street.

Hu Zhilan watched his departing figure and curled her lip: "Tch, pretentious."

But the young man in purple robes shook his folding fan, a thoughtful look flashing in his eyes: "This person... is quite interesting."

Cui Lin felt that Xu Ze gave him a very special feeling.

But his pride prevented him from admitting it.

"What could it mean? He's just a country bumpkin."

Hu Zhilan remained unconvinced.

"If it weren't for the Fourth Prince's decree, would this kind of person even be worthy of entering the capital..."

"Shh, keep quiet. The family has strictly forbidden this recently. No matter what, you can't help yourself. You're not allowed to publicly humiliate these outside cultivators!"

Cui Lin seemed a little annoyed and glared at her.

The other disciples nodded repeatedly, not wanting to implicate themselves.

Hu Zhilan gritted her teeth inwardly, feeling very resentful.

In her view, Xu Ze must also be a 'false god'.

Otherwise... how could someone of the same age have a higher cultivation level than them?

At this moment.

The group of young people here probably couldn't even dream of it.

The scene they will soon witness.

Chapter 136 The Prime Minister's Residence

"Back then, neither Chu Sheng nor Wan Yi could get the 'Heavenly Book' to recognize them as its master."

After walking to a secluded corner.

Xu Ze flipped his hand over.

A golden, gleaming page appeared in his hand in an instant.

A mysterious luster flowed across its surface.

This is a treasure that Wan Yi risked his life to bring back when he ventured into the Central Continent.

Originally, he wanted to exchange opportunities with Chu Sheng, the deacon of the Demon Alliance, but after Xiao Bai was saved by him, the book pages ended up in his hands as well.

"Qinghe said she saw something similar in the palace?"

Xu Ze recalled that he had shown it to Mu Qinghe before.

She said that when she comes to the Central Immortal Continent in person next time, she will give Xu Ze a "big gift" that is related to this page of paper.

But now I'm here.

The little girl was locked up.

And even her royal brother wanted to find a way to save her.

Who has such power...?

"The plot is a bit complicated."

Xu Ze couldn't sort it out for a moment, so he simply shook his head and stopped thinking about it.

The western part of the city was the residential area for the powerful and wealthy in the capital.

The streets here are wider and cleaner than those in the outer city, and the mansions on both sides are more magnificent than the last.

The gate is made of vermilion and high walls, guarded by stone lions, with a plaque hanging above the lintel that signifies status.

Xu Ze walked around and finished his visit.

Following the jade hairpin Qin Yi gave him, he found the Qin family's residence.

This mansion occupies a vast area, with a gate that is three zhang high, its door studs gilded and gleaming in the sunlight.

The walls are high, topped with glazed tiles, and the two stone lions exude the aura of treasures.

Yanran comes from a wealthy family.

"...The Prime Minister's residence?"

The most eye-catching thing is the plaque above the door.

Three large characters, black background with gold lettering, written with vigorous strokes.

The mansion in front of us is actually the Prime Minister's mansion?

Xu Ze inquired with passersby and learned that the current prime minister was indeed surnamed Qin, a veteran of three reigns, and now a trusted advisor of the Empress Dowager.

Moreover, she only has one daughter.

It even matches the name Qin Yi.

"It really is her..."

It seems no one in the capital knows this.

This young lady from the Qin family is working as an assassin at Tingyu Tower.

"stop."

Xu Ze arrived at the spacious gate, where the guards stopped him.

He took out the hairpin that Qin Yi had given him.

"This is……"

The guard took the jade hairpin and examined it carefully.

Upon seeing the tiny mark at the end of the hairpin, his expression changed slightly, and his attitude immediately became respectful:

"So you're a distinguished guest of yours, Miss... My apologies for not recognizing you!"

The two immediately became respectful.

He respectfully handed the jade hairpin back to Xu Ze and stepped aside to make way for him.

"Fellow Daoist, please come in! I will go and inform the steward immediately."

Before long, a middle-aged man wearing a dark blue brocade robe and sporting a goatee strode out.

He had a thin face and shrewd eyes. His cultivation level was at the late Nascent Soul stage. He was the steward of the Qin family.

"We are deeply sorry for not being able to welcome our distinguished guests properly. Please forgive us!"

Upon seeing Xu Ze, the steward immediately performed a respectful monk's salute.

Xu Ze returned the greeting, his tone calm:

"I am honored to be your guest. My name is Xu Ze. I was introduced by Miss Qin and have come here to seek a job."

He explained that he had come as a guest, and the steward immediately invited him in.
