Why is my Hundred Lifetimes Book different?

It's not that I have a narrow perspective.

Instead, they firmly believe that no one's promises should be taken seriously, and only what they can do themselves is truly theirs.

Ren Qingshan is mindful.

He laughed and said, "It seems I was narrow-minded. The Jin family truly keeps their word."

Jin Qianyuan calmly replied, "Being cautious and calculating is a way of survival, which is understandable. Once you have achieved your foundation, being upright and honorable and keeping your word will also be a way of survival, but there is no need to be obsessed with it. The reputation that I have painstakingly built for the Jin family is simply to maximize its value at the right time."

Ren Qingshan never expected him to be so candid.

"You... I had previously guessed that Master's giving of the Heavenly Creation Instrument to the Liang family and his promise to secure a Foundation Establishment for the Gongsun family was a calculated move to put both families in the spotlight and divert the firepower of the three upper families."

Jin Qianyuan nodded casually, without denying it.

Ren Qingshan then asked, "So, what kind of foundation-building path does Master cultivate?"

"Since you have become my disciple, it is no problem for me to tell you."

"My method of building a foundation is quite unorthodox. I use chess to enter the Dao and cultivate the secret art of chess."

"It is your choice to step into the game from outside the board, but this move is unpredictable in terms of fortune and misfortune."

"I know that your becoming my disciple and marrying my Jin family daughter are all opportunistic moves."

"I also know that you have many secrets of cause and effect, but those are your own karma."

"However, now that you've reached the sixth level of Qi Refining, you can barely be considered a pawn on my chessboard. Once a pawn crosses the river, there's no turning back. If I rise with the wind, you'll rise with the tide; if my Jin family is destroyed, you'll be doomed."

"Ren Qingshan, are you ready?"

Jin Qianyuan's tone was solemn.

Ren Qingshan nodded silently, then smiled: "Live when it is time to live, die when it is time to die."

After staring at him for a long time, Jin Qianyuan silently placed another piece on the chessboard in front of him, causing slight ripples to appear between heaven and earth.

"Do you know what you need to do right now?"

Jin Qianyuan asked.

Ren Qingshan didn't hesitate: "Nurture the weapon! Unite the soul! Refine the spirit! Perfect the Qi Refining Technique! Plan the Foundation Establishment Method! Engage in the Foundation Establishment Competition! Seize the Heavenly Book! Become one of the three lower families! Take on the three upper families! Forge the Human Foundation! Earth Foundation! Heaven Foundation in sequence!"

Hearing the resounding, forceful sound, a strange look appeared in Jin Qianyuan's eyes.

You think too much.

Their ambitions are truly considerable.

However, it already has the air of a pawn crossing the river.

"What weapon do you usually use?"

Jin Qianyuan asked again.

Ren Qingshan's mind raced. Was this meant to help him cultivate his artifact?

"I've heard of a magical artifact called the Myriad Souls Banner?"

Jin Qianyuan chuckled. Only now did his disciple reveal a hint of youthful mischief.

After making a joke, Ren Qingshan said in a deep voice, "I want to raise a flag, a long flag, a big flag."

About it.

On the way back, I had thought about it.

This is a rare and unusual treasure. Although there is a common saying that "the stranger the weapon, the faster you die," it is itself the most unorthodox and unconventional weapon.

Raise a flag!

"Having ideas leads to a successful start."

"Therefore, I will forge a flag blank for you, which will serve as both a gift for your apprenticeship and a wedding present."

Jin Qianyuan reached out, and various materials appeared before him, melted, and in an instant, became a flagpole three zhang, three chi, and three cun long, with an ancient bronze color and extremely smooth surface.

"This is Qinghua Yuanjin, which has withstood countless tribulations and can be sized as desired. It is considered the number one rare gold in our sect. Have you mastered the method of nurturing it?"

Ren Qingshan stared at the flagpole, truly surprised that Jin Qianyuan was so generous.

Qinghua Yuanjin is indeed an excellent material for nurturing artifacts, but it is extremely rare and absolutely cannot be obtained without a Foundation Establishment or advanced cultivation.

This has always been the treatment reserved for the core members of aristocratic families!

"I abducted two members of the Zheng family who had escaped and obtained the complete Qi Refining Inheritance, but I don't know if it's correct. Please enlighten me, Master."

"The method of nurturing a vessel involves first casting the vessel blank, then gradually warming it with one's energy and blood until the mind and intention are in harmony, which is considered a minor success."

"Then refine the runes, using divine thought to engrave the corresponding runes on the vessel blank. One rune is the foundation, and nine runes are the ultimate, which is the intermediate stage."

"Finally, one can either pour one's own divine sense into the object or seek out a spiritual object to imbue it with spirit, thus achieving great success."

Everything in the Qi Refining Realm is for increasing the chances of Foundation Establishment.

The artifact refined in this way, which is in harmony with the mind, is a natal artifact and a magical treasure.

"Generally good, just one thing."

"In this realm, three runes are sufficient. Do not be greedy and try to have more. Your natal weapon will accompany you for life. If you have the opportunity in the future, you can seek out other runes. If you have enough now, it will be extremely difficult to change them later, and it will severely damage your essence."

"Of course, if you seek perfection, that's fine too."

"As for that spiritual object, the Liang family came to ask for a few days ago, offering to share forty percent of the opportunities calculated by the Heavenly Creation Instrument with my Jin family. I haven't agreed yet, but the time is almost right. If a suitable opportunity arises, I will inform you."

"And... could you lend me a wisp of your Heavenly Tribulation Lightning?"

Jin Qianyuan offered guidance while also making demands.

Ren Qingshan looked at him with a mix of amusement and exasperation. "Master, you're at the Foundation Establishment stage, and you're asking me to borrow something? Isn't that a bit too shameless of you?"

This Heavenly Tribulation Lightning is powerful because of its unique properties; its quantity can generate itself, so giving it even a trace wouldn't be a problem.

"Can."

Jin Qianyuan nodded with a smile and took out a crystal-clear Thunder Crystal.

Ren Qingshan sent a wisp of Heavenly Tribulation Lightning into it, and the Thunder Crystal immediately shone brightly. It took more than ten breaths before it subsided and was "stored".

It seems that even for Foundation Establishment cultivators, this Heavenly Tribulation Lightning is a rare commodity.

He didn't ask me how I got it, which probably wasn't unintentional, but rather intentional, as he didn't want to get involved in this karma.

This master-disciple relationship is not the kind that can be absolutely trusted, and it will definitely change in the future. But for me at present, it is a window to the Foundation Establishment stage, with both advantages and disadvantages.

"What's the use of this?"

Ren Qingshan pondered for a moment before asking the question.

"Gifts."

"The Hua family has a great cultivator who is burdened by karma. This item should be useful to him, but I haven't figured out exactly how to use it yet. It needs to be refined carefully. Since it can use tribulation lightning to eliminate karma without harming oneself, refining it into a Tribulation Lightning Pill should be the best choice. Once I have researched the pill-making method, I will pass it on to you."

Uh.

Ren Qingshan's impression of him was refreshed once again.

Gift-giving?

It seems that to achieve foundation building, one must have a thick skin!

"I have another question for you, Master. What is the origin of the Five Ghosts Calamity Path?"

Since he's so shameless, Ren Qingshan won't hesitate to offer his advice.

Did he really do it?

Jin Qianyuan laughed heartily: "Before I, Jin Qianyuan, reached the Foundation Establishment stage, I committed murder and arson, my crimes were heinous, and I was a loyal dog of the Immortal Sect. In the past, which cultivator below the Foundation Establishment stage in Qinghua didn't hate me to the bone?"

"However, once I complete the Foundation Establishment stage, other cultivators will vindicate me."
