Why is my Hundred Lifetimes Book different?

"Wujiu, you make the arrangements. I will be present on the day of Ren Qingshan's wedding and announce that I have accepted him as my disciple."

Jin Qianyuan waved his hand to remove the formation, looked at his son, and said calmly.

Hearing this, Jin Wujiu looked at his father, then at Ren Qingshan, his eyes twitched, and he took a deep breath: "Yes."

Ren Qingshan, you're amazing!

You're amazing!

He's someone important!

"Qingshan, this is my communication jade talisman. If you have any questions about your cultivation, feel free to ask me."

"Take this Qinghuayuan Golden Flag embryo as well. As for the flag itself, you can find it yourself."

Jin Qianyuan then instructed Ren Qingshan.

Ren Qingshan nodded: "Thank you, Master."

Jin Wujiu stared at the Azure Gold Source, his pupils contracting again, and he couldn't help but call out, "Father!"

Qinghuayuan Gold!

Although he himself also used Qinghua Yuanjin, this item was extremely rare. Even some of the less capable younger brothers in the second generation of the Jin family did not receive such treatment.

Jin Qianyuan glanced at him with just one look.

Jin Wujiu immediately gave a wry smile: "It's nothing, I just lost my composure."

"If Ren Qingshan survives within ten years, he may be able to establish his foundation."

"If you remain as you are now, you will have no hope for the rest of your life."

Upon hearing this...

Ren Qingshan was slightly taken aback.

No, don't stir up trouble for me!

Saying such things in front of Jin Wujiu?

"I know."

"I had no hope of reaching the Foundation Establishment stage anyway."

Jin Wujiu lowered his head, forced a smile, and said bitterly.

"There's no inherent advantage to you. You've walked your own path. You've already lost the battle for the throne among the five clans, and you accept it. So you should wholeheartedly assist your elder brother."

Jin Wujiu knelt down and solemnly said, "Father, I understand. Lately, perhaps due to numerous trivial matters, I often feel unsettled. Fortunately, my elder brother keeps me focused."

Listening to the conversation between the father and son...

Ren Qingshan's heart stirred slightly. It turned out that the Jin family's direct descendants had already been vying for power among their various branches.

Jin Wujiu lost.

The "seed of thought" within him was left by his elder brother.

And it was he who asked for it?

Ren Qingshan thought about these things, but remained silent. These were things he shouldn't have asked himself.

"You may go."

"Ren Qingshan, if you are the target of jealousy, deal with it yourself. On the path to Foundation Establishment, enemies, friends, and even family members can all be stumbling blocks. If you don't handle them properly, how can you talk about Foundation Establishment?"

Jin Qianyuan said this to the two of them, and then waved for them to leave.

……

Leave the courtyard.

The two silently headed towards the capital city.

Jin Wujiu seemed somewhat forlorn.

Ren Qingshan was also lost in thought.

This time, although there was a slight price to pay, the gains were equally substantial.

The biggest gain was the temporary window of opportunity for stable development, and the formation of a closer cooperative relationship with the Kim family.

Even if there are still schemes to be devised in the future, they have already been kept to the lowest possible level.

In order to obtain the Heavenly Book, he chose this particular time perfectly—the time when he reached the sixth level of Qi Refining and was about to marry a woman from the Jin family.

at the moment:

The Book of a Hundred Deaths will not be exposed.

The Barbarian Finger and the Nine Chapters of Soul Capture were not exposed.

The Loose Cultivator Alliance was not exposed.

The body cultivator was not exposed.

As for the myriad mortal energies, the Heavenly Tribulation Thunder, and the Five Paths of Wealth that are deciphered in batches... that is fine.

And... this Jin Qianyuan actually knows about Zhuge Sheng and Wan Zhang Hong Chen Qi?

The matter of Zhuge Sheng should have been caused by several Foundation Establishment families joining forces to kill him, but it is unknown who obtained Zhuge Sheng's Foundation Establishment path.

After all, there is only one path to foundation building; only when someone descends can someone ascend.

Those are probably the top three.

That fruit is a thing of the past and impossible now; with my current cultivation level, I am far from being able to achieve it.

Ok?

Is it possible for me to snatch back the Foundation Establishment Path from the person who obtained it from Zhuge Sheng?

"hiss……"

Could this Foundation Building Method contain a hidden trick left by Zhuge Sheng?

After all, even the Pangu Great Power Visualization Technique was countered by the Fang family's Foundation Establishment Ancestor with a Blood Curse.

Given Zhuge Sheng's computing power, it's not impossible.

"Master, I have a question. What is Zhuge Sheng's Foundation Establishment method? And who obtained it?"

Ren Qingshan immediately used his divine sense to send a message through the jade talisman to inquire about it.

In a short while.

They received a reply from Jin Qianyuan.

"His foundation-building path is called 'Escape to One.' The Great Dao is fifty, the Heavenly Evolution is forty-nine, and Man escapes to one. Currently, it is held by the Hua family, Hua Zhaoyang."

[Escape One]?

This... its profound meaning is evident from its name alone.

To be able to establish a foundation as a rogue cultivator is truly remarkable.

"I want to go to the Immortal Prison in Zhenbei City and see him again. Is that alright?"

Ren Qingshan asked again.

Now that I've finally achieved some success, I can go see him.

I don't know if he is still alive.

"inappropriate."

Jin Qianyuan's two indifferent words.

Ren Qingshan frowned slightly, suddenly wondering if this was one of the reasons why Jin Qianyuan had accepted him as a disciple.

"Since the Hua family has already obtained the [Escape] technique, why would they keep Zhuge Sheng alive?"

Ren Qingshan asked again.

Jin Qianyuan: "He possesses the secret technique of 'death and annihilation of the Dao,' which means that if he dies, his 'escape from the One' will naturally dissipate."

Ren Qingshan suddenly realized.

After much deliberation, I decided to suppress this thought for the time being.

That's definitely inappropriate.

Currently, I am only at the sixth level of Qi Refining, and this causal relationship is far from mature.

Even if I go to find him myself, he probably won't come out.

I couldn't protect him!

……

"Ren Qingshan, what are you thinking about?"

Upon landing and walking along the bustling Tianjie Street, Jin Wujiu seemed to have recovered somewhat and casually asked a question.

"I'm thinking about nurturing it."

Ren Qingshan responded with a smile.

"Hmm, would you like to go and see Miaoyin?"

Jin Wujiu asked again.

He wanted to do something to distract himself from the sorrow in his heart.

Perhaps watching these young people fall in love isn't such a bad thing.

"We'll meet eventually; for now, I don't want to be distracted."

Ren Qingshan politely declined.

Jin Wujiu gave him a deep look and sighed softly, "Boring!"

"Haha, it's not boring at all. The joy of cultivation is quite interesting. There was a place in the Ruins of Heaven where strong winds gathered. I had just gathered my aura that day. I was in the aura and watched the world outside change color and the wind howl. I was all alone and watched the wind and clouds with a smile. I'm sharing this kind of fun with you, sir."

Jin Wujiu contemplated the scene, his gaze lingering, and waved his hand, saying, "Go. You have no missions for the next month."

Thanks, goodbye.

Ren Qingshan bowed to him and left directly.

Looking at the boy's tall and straight back, Jin Wujiu sighed again. Standing on the bustling street, he seemed particularly lonely.

……

Ren Qingshan went home.

Before even entering, a group of silver-armored guards stood at the entrance, and a small red sedan chair was parked there. The courtyard seemed quite lively, with even the neighbors coming to watch, as if there was some happy occasion.

Ok?

My wedding and my apprenticeship ceremony haven't even started yet, what am I doing?

Follow the crowd inside.

Then I saw my father in the front yard, talking to an old man in a crimson robe.

The old man had a kind and amiable face, yet he was carrying a young child from the Ren family on his shoulders, the child's excited smile shining brightly.

"In that case, I will trouble Lord Qi to take good care of my Xiyou."

Ren Jiaping said happily.

The old man, addressed as "Lord Qi," smiled and cupped his hands in greeting: "It's alright, we're all working for the royal family. I have to go to my next job, so I'll be going now. Please wait."

Ren Jiaping still saw him out, dealt with the neighbors, and then returned to close the door.

After everyone had left.

Ren Qingshan frowned slightly and asked in confusion, "Father? What are you doing?"

"The Great Qi royal family is selecting companions for the current prince, specifying that the children must be born during the Qilin Festival. Your younger brother, Xiyou, is one of them. I signed him up, and he has now passed the selection. The royal family is coming to pick him up."

"Accompanying you on your training?"

Ren Qingshan had some bad thoughts: "It doesn't sound like anything good."

Ren Jiaping's face was solemn.

Whether it's a good thing or a bad thing, we still have to try.

"The next generation of my Ren family must plan ahead in order to be prepared for any eventuality. Even if... even if it costs lives, we must forge another path."

"Qingshan, come and see."

Ren Jiaping took out a scroll, unrolled it, and presented it to his son. On it were names, a family tree of the Ren family.
