Why is my Hundred Lifetimes Book different?

"You actually accepted the barbarian's finger?"

Tao Qingran wiped away her tears and asked in a trembling voice.

The name of Manzhi is known to everyone in this Tianxu. Even though he lives in seclusion, he has heard of him.

Ren Qingshan looked at him with a smile and nodded.

"Exactly."

"Well? Is it possible for you to pass on that secret technique to me?"

Looking once more at Ren Qingshan's half-black, half-red aura of cause and effect, Tao Qingran's mind raced, and as if possessed, she took out an ancient golden jade slip engraved with dragon patterns.

"This method is a secret technique of the ancient Qi royal family. If you can bear the consequences, then you may practice it yourself."

Ren Qingshan immediately took it and scanned it with his divine sense.

【Ziwei Yanzong】.

While watching, he casually asked, "A royal secret technique? How did it come about?"

"The Zhao family was once related to the emperor. One of their sons followed the emperor and guarded the royal secrets. He took this method from the royal secrets and used it for his own family."

"This secret technique, based on bloodline, mainly has four divine effects and one taboo. The four divine effects are:"

"First, it reveals bloodlines, allowing one to deduce the closeness or distance of relatives, direct and collateral lines. With so many royal offspring, it is perfect for this purpose."

"Secondly, it can be used to determine kinship. All offspring with bloodlines in the family can be identified using this method."

"Third, knowing life and death allows one to deduce whether their own family members are alive or dead."

"Fourth, it can be used to predict opportunities and fortunes for one's family lineage."

"As for this taboo, it must not be deduced for oneself, otherwise one will suffer a backlash with extremely serious consequences."

Upon hearing this, Ren Qingshan frowned slightly.

This was somewhat different from the brilliant strategy he had imagined.

Unable to deduce his own existence?

Its usefulness is reduced by at least 90%.

It can only be considered an introductory method.

"Can they only be considered relatives?"

Tao Qingran nodded: "In terms of personal cultivation, I can only be considered a relative. If it is combined with weapon crafting, then I can be considered a member of another family. However, over the years, I have only managed to craft one Blood-Evolving Compass. I have neither suitable equipment nor the ability to craft others."

Ren Qingshan understood, and although he sighed slightly, he had no better solution.

Something is better than nothing.

Start with the basics.

Based on the Ren family, we will proceed step by step, starting from this causal line.

On the bright side, with this Ziwei lineage system, there will be no more worries about clansmen being cuckolded or impersonated as blood relatives.

Also... Miaoyin is a member of the Jin family. After she gives birth to her child, I wonder if it would be possible to learn about the Jin family through the child's bloodline.

And wherever bloodlines extend, opportunities will follow.

This royal secret method is truly tailor-made for the royal family.

Once suitable refining materials are available, and the secret techniques learned are combined, it can become an item that protects the clan's fortune.

"What kind of method was it that you just saw the color of cause and effect in my work?"

As Ren Qingshan pondered these things, another thought came to mind, and he asked a question.

This method of application was not recorded in the jade slip.

"Each time this secret method is used, it will generate spiritual energy and produce a point of Ziwei starlight. Ziwei is the Emperor Star and also the Destiny Star, so one can see the fortune by observing its energy."

Purple Starlight?

Ren Qingshan's heart stirred.

I clearly remember that when I reached the eighth level of Qi Refining and Soul Refinement, I needed a very important cultivation material, namely, the Purple Star Essence.

This item has a remarkable effect on soul refining, and can greatly shorten the soul refining process.

"Master Potter, you're simply my lucky star!"

Tao Qingran was slightly taken aback. After a moment of silence, she said softly, "This sounds familiar. It seems that the former head of the Zhao family said it many times before."

Ren Qingshan was both amused and exasperated.

People who have been isolated for a long time do indeed become less articulate.

Forget it.

I don't care about him.

"Right now, our Loose Cultivator Alliance has a formidable enemy. Please allow me to deal with it first. Once everything is cleaned up, I will come back to respectfully invite Master Tao."

"Give me a few of those talismans."

"Also, Gu Weiqiu, since I offended you, please retract your decision to sever ties. I will host a banquet later to mediate between you two."

Seeing that he was considering her feelings, Tao Qingran felt a renewed sense of goodwill towards him and took out a stack of yellow paper.

……

The law of cause and effect has been found!

Although it can only be considered a minor cause and effect based on bloodline.

However, it is also extremely valuable.

Ren Qingshan left the small courtyard and appeared in Tianxu, only to find Liu Fangyuan and Gu Weiqiu still waiting in the same spot.

"I've spoken with Master Tao. Here are a few sheets of this yellow paper back for you. But don't bother him for now. Wait until the Loose Cultivator Alliance is finished."

Ren Qingshan handed several sheets of yellow paper to Gu Weiqiu and gave him these instructions.

"My lord... you are truly capable and considerate of your subordinates!"

Gu Weiqiu's eyes shone brightly, his admiration truly uncontrollable. He felt that Ren Qingshan before him was incredibly tall and also incredibly clever.

"Lord Jin previously sent two commanders to investigate, one named Wu Xuan and the other named Yu Shangqing. I will go find them first."

"You two, go back to Tiandu and do something for me. Ask my father to collect the bloodline of the entire family. I need it."

Ren Qingshan pondered how to deal with this matter and gave instructions.

Currently, the Loose Cultivator Alliance faces two groups of enemies.

The first group consisted of these two leaders. Their task was to investigate the situation and ensure that the Nine Chapters of Soul-Capturing Seeds were collected; otherwise, the Loose Cultivator Alliance would surely be exposed, which would cause trouble.

The second group, led by Hua Yuanqing, is driven entirely by the desire for slaughter. He wants to kill 100,000 extraordinary individuals to appease the spirit of his artifact. This man… must be killed in this Heavenly Ruins!

"It's those two!"

As Ren Qingshan spoke, Liu Fangyuan's gaze burned with hatred.

"What's wrong?"

"They are my enemies. Back then, we entered the Ten Directions Journey in the same batch. My cultivation level was always one step ahead of theirs. There was a female cultivator in the department that they both had their eyes on, but I beat them to it."

"However, when it came time to compete for leadership, Wu Xuan was promoted before me and then suppressed me for a full three years!"

"During those three years, he also had an affair with my wife!"

"I only avenged this grudge after I was promoted to commander and killed that bitch with a single sword, but I can't touch Wu Xuan."

"That Yu Shangqing is no different from him!"

Liu Fangyuan gritted her teeth.

As Ren Qingshan listened to this, his gaze drifted to the top of his head, and he silently mourned for him for a few seconds.

Surprisingly, he was also someone who had been cuckolded.

"If I can subdue these two, I will. If I cannot, I will send them to see Gongsun."

"However, we need to think carefully about how to explain this to the ministry when we get back."

Upon hearing this, Liu Fangyuan immediately hesitated.

I certainly don't have the ability to kill these two people myself; I can only rely on the adults... However, if I kill them, how will I explain it when I get back?

This is different from Gongsun Hanhai, who was facing an impending heavenly tribulation and was also dealing with openly evil cultivators, while these two were, after all, leaders.

"It's entirely up to you, sir."

"If you, sir, can subdue them, then the two of us will naturally turn hostility into friendship, so as not to ruin the overall situation."

After weighing the options in his mind, Liu Fangyuan still spoke cautiously.

"You know when to advance and when to retreat, that's good. Go then."

Ren Qingshan praised the information he had just learned, and his mind immediately turned to the information he had just acquired—after Foundation Establishment, the "Human Foundation" has two phases, and the three envoys of Heaven, Earth, and Man.

Although the underlying meaning is not yet clear, it is obviously related to subordinates.

Right now, if we can find it, we should try to find it first.

After all, only with a sufficient quantity can the best be selected from the best.

Little did I know, what did Jin Qianyuan regard me as?

Are they cannon fodder?

piece?

Or are they candidates for prime minister or envoy?
