Why is my Hundred Lifetimes Book different?

It was evening.

"Uncle, my father is back and is waiting for you at the mansion."

A handsome young man dressed in black approached Ren Qingshan and spoke to him in a rather intimate manner.

The boy was Jin Fengming's son, named Jin Yunrui, who was twenty-three years old. His father and Jin Miaoyin were of the same generation, so the title of "uncle-in-law" was quite fitting.

"Okay, lead the way."

After entering the city, Ren Qingshan delivered a visiting card to the door.

If he wants to enter Tianxu, he should at least meet Jin Fengming once.

Moreover, Ren Qingshan was quite interested in the Hua family's scorching sun.

My current situation is vastly different from that during the battle of visualization.

Back then...

Any scion of a powerful family could step on him, and even someone else's celestial servant could step on him.

And now...

Even if we fight Hua Yuanqing, or even kill him, there is still a lot of room for maneuver.

He has Jin Qianyuan behind him.

The three families mentioned above are not limited to the Hua family alone.

You just need to initiate the team fight, and the appropriate teammates will be matched!

Such is the nature of the conflicts within the immortal sect.

One stone stirs up a thousand waves. Every piece is extremely important at that time and place, but it is not important in the overall situation.

"Haha, Qingshan, I was so busy with other matters during your wedding that I really couldn't get away. Please forgive me."

Jin Fengming's attitude was exceptionally warm, many times more so than when Ren Qingshan first brought Jin Wujiu's handwritten letter.

If he were merely his cousin's husband, he wouldn't receive such treatment.

The key point is that Ren Qingshan is the Venerable Master's disciple!

How many years has it been since the Lord took on a disciple?

After achieving the Foundation Establishment stage, the number of disciples he publicly accepted was probably less than five.

"No need for formalities, we're all serving the Immortal Sect. Let's get down to business. What's going on with the Loose Cultivator Alliance? The Commander sent me here to investigate."

After exchanging pleasantries with him for a while, Ren Qingshan deliberately asked a question.

Jin Fengming warmly took his arm and said, "I've prepared a banquet for you. We can eat and chat at the same time. With you joining us, I'll have a better chance of dealing with that rogue cultivator alliance."

Inside the room, a sumptuous feast was laid out, and Hua Yuanqing was prominently seated there.

Ren Qingshan and the two men ate and chatted, and after some discussion, Ren Qingshan learned what they meant. For a moment, his feelings were somewhat complicated.

—Let me join you in destroying the Loose Cultivator Alliance?

It's normal for Jin Fengming to have this idea.

After all, they are all family, and their cultivation levels are all out in the open.

only……

Are you trying to force me to betray my own family for the greater good?

With a thought, Ren Qingshan separated two strands of thought and sent them toward the two people respectively.

Jin Fengming was completely unaware as the seed smoothly entered his body, without any change in his expression or eyes.

As a wisp of invisible thought approached Hua Yuanqing, a jade pendant at his waist suddenly shone brightly, its milky-white light enveloping his entire body.

Seeing the [Untainted by Dust] sword bestowed upon him by his grandfather gleaming, Hua Yuanqing's gaze sharpened as he looked at the two men and coldly said, "Brother Jin? Brother Ren? Are you perhaps testing my cultivation?"

Hua Yuanqing only knew that he was being tested for no reason, but he didn't know which of the two people sitting there was testing him.

It should most likely be Ren Qingshan, since he is new here.

But it could also be Jin Fengming, or his Jin family's helper has arrived.

Jin Fengming looked completely bewildered.

Ren Qingshan just laughed and said, "I did it. But if you want to test your cultivation, once we enter the Heavenly Ruins, I'll be happy to accompany you and give you some pointers."

Jin Fengming's pupils narrowed slightly, and his Adam's apple bobbed slightly.

—I never expected Ren Qingshan to be so arrogant. He truly deserves to be the Venerable Master's disciple.

these two,

One is the pride of the Hua family, who have been pampered since childhood.

One is a top-tier talent who rose from the very bottom.

Which one is the virtuous one?

Hua Yuanqing looked at Ren Qingshan thoughtfully, raising his eyebrows slightly: "This matter won't be so easily resolved. I will return to Tianxu in three days. I will ambush you at least once there. If you die, don't blame me!"

Ren Qingshan nodded and smiled, raising his glass to him: "It's a deal, of course."

Seeing that the two of them had started fighting while chatting and laughing, Jin Fengming remained silent.

There's no way to persuade someone about something like this.

Two tigers cannot share one mountain, unless one is male and the other female.

"You two enjoy your meal. I have other matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave now!"

Hua Yuanqing drank a glass of wine, then coldly rose to take his leave. The matter of the 100,000 blood sacrifices was far more important than any petty squabbles over loyalty; a small act of impatience could ruin a great plan.

But he couldn't help but wonder: what kind of attack method did Ren Qingshan use?

Although the attack was successfully defended against, it was beyond the user's comprehension.

Jin Fengming tried to persuade him a couple of times, but to no avail. Knowing that he had already offended this man, he could only helplessly let him leave first and then looked back at Ren Qingshan.

Benjue realized that Ren Qingshan had offended his guest.

But then he thought: it might not be a bad thing to test the Hua family's prodigy. Ren Qingshan is really efficient in his work!

"Qingshan, hahaha, your demeanor is truly growing in power."

Recalling Ren Qingshan's last visit, when he was only at the fourth level of Qi Refining, his current cultivation level is vastly different.

Ren Qingshan knew that the "Seed of Thought" had begun to take effect, and replied with a smile, "It's all thanks to Your Excellency's good teachings. Why would Hua Yuanqing come here out of the blue?"

"This... I don't know either. It must have been arranged by the family. His grandfather was a Foundation Establishment cultivator named Hua Zhaoyang, who was the core of the Hua family's main lineage."

The name Hua Zhaoyang immediately brought to mind Ren Qingshan's Foundation Establishment path: [Escape to One]!

He obtained Zhuge Sheng's Dao of "Escape from Oneness"!

However, the cause and effect were not completely severed, and it was still affected by Zhuge Sheng's secret method of "death and annihilation of the Dao".

Ren Qingshan once guessed that this cause-and-effect relationship should lie within himself.

Judging from the current situation, could it be that Master and the Hua family are using this as bait?

……

Early the next morning.

Ren Qingshan, holding three jade talismans, along with Liu Fangyuan and Gu Weiqiu, stepped into the Heavenly Ruins once again.

They entered the Heavenly Ruins.

Seeing the aura talisman dim, Ren Qingshan immediately felt a sense of ease and comfort once again: "Let's go, let's visit your friend Tao Qingran first and ask him for advice on divination."

That's why I brought Gu Weiqiu along.

Now that I've mastered the basics of runes, all that's left is to refine and accumulate knowledge day after day.

As for the art of divination, it is an old matter that needs to be revisited and must not be reformed.

Although Master said, how can cause and effect be cultivated?

But clearly, cultivators can grasp fragments of the Dao of Cause and Effect, much like blind men touching an elephant.

Upon hearing this, Gu Weiqiu immediately led the way.

After returning from Tianxu last time, his Soul-Capturing Seed was still vaguely at the "mental anchor" stage, but now it has reached the "false self".

Regardless of Ren Qingshan's status, his conduct, or the resources he provided for cultivation, everything subtly nourished the seed of thought, influencing his ideas.

This is the ambiguous nature of the Nine Chapters of Soul Capture, which is both righteous and evil.

You can guard against petty people, but not against honest people.

Those who have been planted with the seed of evil will be like sitting in a thicket of thorns; they will not be harmed if they do not move. As long as they do not harbor evil thoughts, they will not be affected in any way.

Led by Gu Weiqiu, the three walked along. Ren Qingshan suddenly remembered something and said to Liu Fangyuan, "Lord Jin has begun to suspect you. He suspects that you fooled him last time. He told me to keep an eye on you. If he finds anything wrong with you, he will take you back and punish you by making you work in the mines."

He said it with a laugh.

Liu Fangyuan was slightly taken aback, but couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"How can he, sitting high in the halls of power, know the suffering of us?"

"Go then, I'll wait for the master to take over, and he'll come to my rescue."

Ok?

Ren Qingshan looked at him: "You certainly think far ahead."

Now, through careful planning and deliberation, he has reached this point, with loyal subordinates hoping for his advancement.
