Why is my Hundred Lifetimes Book different?

Ren Qingshan looked closely.

A main line runs vertically through the middle. At the top is the father's name, Ren Jiaping, below that is himself, and below that is his son, Ren Wangchen.

There are branches on both sides.

Ren Jiangtao, Ren Yonglei, Ren Guangyao, Ren Bingce, Ren Kecheng.

The following are marked with small characters: Dan (丹), Qi (器), Fu (符), Shang (商), Zhan (战).

"You are familiar with Jiang Tao and Yong Lei; they are in charge of the alchemy room and the weapon room, respectively."

"Guangyao is your third uncle's third son. I sent someone to bring him here, and he is currently learning how to make talismans from Lu Jiyue."

"Bingce is your younger brother. My Ren family's business has hired a manager to teach him business. In the future, he should be the one to take over the art of Jinshi Guiyuan."

"Ke Cheng is eight years old and is also your younger brother. He has the most violent and warlike personality. He has beaten up all of these boys. I bought him a Gengjin Spirit Seed, hoping that he would take the path of sword cultivation, and he was very willing."

"As for your main branch, it's entirely up to you. My knowledge is limited, and I wonder what your plans are?"

"I think that the main lineage can cultivate divination, Taoism, or warfare, all are acceptable."

On the scroll, Ren Jiaping slowly wrote Ren Xiyou's name, added the character "Emperor" after it, and then looked back at Ren Qingshan.

Ren Qingshan looked at his father with a smile, feeling... relieved.

It's exceptionally worry-free.

My father was truly skilled at managing the household.

I'll ask him about it later.

Ren Qingshan had a thought, but he didn't tell his father about the Tianxu Loose Cultivator Alliance. That matter was of great importance, so he decided to discuss it separately.

"it is good."

"You went to the Jin family today? How did it go?"

Ren Jiaping let out a long sigh of relief and relaxed.

My son gets things done better and better.

When I reached the fourth level of Qi Refining, I didn't marry a noblewoman first, but went to Tianxu first. At the time, I thought it was a risky move, but now it seems that it was the right thing to do.

With a cultivation level of four, even if he marries a noblewoman, he won't be able to hold on and will likely only become a puppet of the Jin family.

Now, arrogance is different.

"I have become the disciple of the Jin family patriarch, and I will announce it on my wedding day."

Ren Qingshan said calmly.

What?

Ren Jiaping's pupils shrank sharply as he looked at his son in disbelief, revealing immense joy, his body trembling slightly.

He became a disciple of a Foundation Establishment cultivator!

The Jin family has a large population, so marrying a woman from the Jin family is merely a stepping stone, a connection through kinship.

Its significance is far less than that of having the head of the Bai Jin family as a teacher!

Ok?

Qingshan established the apprenticeship ceremony based on kinship ties!

He had planned this all along!

"Good! Good! Good!"

Ren Jiaping said "good" three times, his eyes filled with immense satisfaction.

"Haha, Father, there's no need to get too excited. Just take it in stride. This move is simply to secure a little more space for our family to survive. We can't rely on the Jin family entirely. Every family has its own problems. Master is also facing pressure from all sides from the three upper families."

"From this day forward, I will go into seclusion until my wedding day."

"My father still handles all the household affairs."

"If there is anything extremely urgent, just call me out of seclusion."

Ren Qingshan confessed.

"Alright, you can go into seclusion. Don't worry about trivial matters."

Ren Jiaping immediately agreed, but still couldn't hide his excitement.

He has become a disciple of the Foundation Establishment stage!

Haha, hahaha, my Qingshan is truly a prodigy!

……

Ren Qingshan returned to his own bedroom in the backyard, sent a maid to take his son to play, and spent a few hours with his wife. Then he said he was going into seclusion and sat cross-legged in the corner of the bedroom, quickly turning into a "statue".

Wang Shuzhen had seen this scene for three whole years while practicing visualization, so it was not unfamiliar to her.

Lying languidly on the bed with a flushed face, she rested her chin on her hand, gazing at the bed with a tender and loving look in her eyes.

This jerk...

That's amazing!

In his mind, spiritual practice was the most important thing, surpassing everything else.

However, the family's honor, status, food, clothing, daily necessities, maids, and servants all originated from this.

All of this was earned by my husband with his blood and sweat!

I just hope... he won't work so hard, lest he get too tired.

……

Concentrate your mind and forget yourself and the world around you.

Ren Qingshan first used the Heavenly Tribulation Lightning to polish the flagpole forged from Qinghua Yuanjin, confirming that there were no remnants of Jin Qianyuan inside. Only then did he use his blood and energy to refine it.

This is the work of water milling.

It's not difficult, but it's tedious.

It requires using essence, blood, spiritual power, divine thought, and wealth to cleanse it again and again until it becomes as seamless as one's own flesh and blood, while still retaining the original characteristics of the artifact.

This flagpole is quite a good weapon; it can be used as a stick or a sword.

What's even more ingenious is that the flagpole remains stationary, but the flag can be changed.

In this way, rigidity is maintained, while flexibility can be applied to different situations in the future.

"Hmm? I wonder if the 'Giant Force Finger' technique and the Azure Origin Gold can be fused together?"

Ren Qingshan had previously considered refining the Giant Force Finger into his natal weapon, but he had not made up his mind to do so.

Because this object is too conspicuous, and moreover, it is "someone else's finger," even if the cause and effect are erased, one still feels in one's heart that it is just an external object.

And if they could be integrated...

With a thought in mind, Ren Qingshan immediately gave it a try.

With a single, powerful finger strike, the spike transformed into a cone-shaped point, forcefully piercing the flagpole of Qinghua Yuanjin.

Although insertion was extremely difficult, the fingertip did manage to go in a little bit.

feasible!

The immense power of the finger possesses an eternal quality; while it may not be indestructible, it is close.

Qinghua Yuanjin also possesses a certain timelessness, combining both strength and gentleness.

Fortunately, neither of the treasures possesses any spiritual consciousness; they are currently just the purest materials, so they can be refined.

Once the ritual is complete, runes will be engraved on the flagpole to change its form, ensuring that no one can recognize it as the Barbarian Finger.

During wartime.

If the main banner is not powerful enough, the barbarian fingers can be split off to attack the enemy by surprise.

Thinking like this...

Ren Qingshan was multitasking, simultaneously fusing the barbarian finger and the flagpole, refining them with his essence and spiritual power, and diverting his divine sense to comprehend the talisman and array.

Although symbols and arrays differ in their applications, they originate from the same source.

Array symbols are a type of talisman.

The talisman itself can also serve as the base of an array.

Their origins are all runes.

The runes are as vast as the sea, a concrete manifestation of the Dao principles, allowing ordinary cultivators to use them even if they don't understand their origins.

Ren Qingshan has learned a lot recently and is now continuing to calmly reflect on his learning.

Time, in this process of contemplation, flows by like water.

……

"My lord, it's time to leave the pass."

After an unknown amount of time, Ren Qingshan opened his eyes with a thought.

He saw his wife smiling at him, his son standing beside him, and his father standing in the doorway.

"The wedding is tomorrow morning, and we need to go fetch the bride. It's already past midnight."

Hearing her say that, Ren Qingshan felt as if he were in a dream.

"it is good."

Ren Qingshan got up and saw a bright red groom's suit, crown, and all sorts of other odds and ends on the bed, and chuckled again.

"My husband, let me help you change your clothes."

"Grandpa, please take the stone and wait a moment."

Ren Jiaping waved to Shi Tou, picked him up and went out the door, where his son's laughter could be heard.

As his wife helped him change his clothes, Ren Qingshan felt a strange ripple in his heart.

Cultivating immortality is great!

This immortal needs to cultivate, to cultivate extensively!
