Please control me, my divine being!

After Qin Hongshi finished speaking, she asked the others in the courtyard to make enough room for her.

Besides the members of the brokerage firm and the guest cultivators, there were also many people coming and going to do business in the courtyard.

"Let's begin, everyone."

As Qin Hongshi spoke.

Several cultivators immediately began to take action, demonstrating their abilities.

Some people can make flowers and plants flourish instantly, and in a few breaths, they can grow from seeds into trees.

Some people can remove their fingers and palms, play with them for a while, and then put them back on perfectly.

It can be described as the Eight Immortals crossing the sea, each displaying their unique abilities, and these are all just minor tricks, without using their true skills.

When it was Li Qinghe's turn, she went to the edge of the courtyard, hugged a thick tree with both hands, and then pulled upwards.

In a short time.

She uprooted the entire tree, with fresh soil still clinging to its roots.

The stark contrast between her slender, thin body and the inhuman strength she possessed at that moment drew cheers from the crowd.

After an incense stick has burned.

Qin Hongshi smiled with satisfaction: "You all are indeed remarkable, and have broadened my horizons. I will have someone arrange accommodations for you. From now on, I will be a guest of my brokerage firm, and I will need your help."

She clapped her hands.

Several servants from the brokerage firm led the group out through a side door.

After an incense stick had burned, Li Qinghe stood in the courtyard she was assigned and received her complete set of belongings as a guest elder.

Identity badges and clothing worn by brokers.

And one hundred blood money coins strung together with red thread.

"It's blood money again."

Li Qinghe carefully put away the blood money and glanced around the courtyard.

The environment was clean and spacious, and the furniture was expensive; it was a place she had never dared to dream of living in before.

The side courtyard is just a wall away.

It was crowded with all sorts of people, and the noise was deafening.

She hadn't been standing in the courtyard for long when Shen Cishuang waved from outside, "Come on, let me show you around."

The two walked out of the courtyard gate, through the crowd, their ears filled with the sounds of idle chatter and shouts.

"The Zhang family is bound to bring about their own downfall through their many evil deeds. I heard that they secretly raise evil spirits in their homes, capturing people and even feeding them their own family members."

"Ha, I heard that the Zhang family was wiped out by a ruthless killer?"

"I think his name was something like 'The Butcher with the Cleaver,' he was ruthless, and the corpses he brought out were never even human-like."

"Stop with the nonsense, it's thirty blood coins, are you buying or not? I still have business to do."

"Your broken sword is worthless, yet you try to pass it off as something ordinary? I'd find it too dull to even use for cutting vegetables."

Li Qinghe's gaze swept over the surrounding vendors.

The place was bustling with activity, with vendors hawking common items and selling all sorts of materials.

The news of what happened to the Zhang family spread so quickly.

Fortunately, he had stored all the machetes he had been carrying with him in his sleeve.

"Don't be fooled by these vendors, there won't be any genuine goods here." As they walked, Shen Cishuang explained to Li Qinghe, "Generally speaking, every city has a special place for cultivators to trade, which is arranged by the local market leaders."

but,

In Lianshan City, there are not many cultivators left.

Therefore, this market is very small, and it's almost entirely filled with counterfeit goods. Genuine, low-quality items wouldn't sell for just a few dozen dollars.

The two walked to the end of the side courtyard.

Shen Cishuang then unfolded her folding fan and let out a weak voice: "Stay here for now, don't expose yourself, and observe Qin Hongshi's movements."

Be prepared at any time. When the cult takes action, listen for my signal and act together.

To avoid arousing suspicion, the two did not talk much.

There are quite a few cultivators in the dental practice.

With so many people around, if the two chatted too much, they would inevitably attract attention and cause trouble.

……

Deep in the backyard, in a secret room.

A statue of the Yellow Immortal sits on the altar, with only a faint fragrance wafting from it.

The altar is decorated with all sorts of items.

Qin Hongshi sat in the armchair, coldly looking at the old man in the yellow robe in front of her.

The other person is very old.

His eyebrows, beard, and hair all hung down to the ground, extremely long, like brooms.

Beneath the yellow robe, countless long, braided hairs extended out, swaying and twisting with his movements.

Qin Hongshi stared at the incense stick in his hand, listening to his increasingly irritating chanting, and frowned: "Huang Liuxiang, how much longer do we have to wait? It's been a month already, shouldn't you have finished what you were doing in Yuyang County by now?"

The Hui family has already retreated back to the northern lands.

How long can the Huang family hold out?

"Lushan has occupied Yuyang County. It won't be long before the Great Wu Dynasty sends its demon-slaying army. If we don't leave now, none of us will escape."

Mentioning the Demon-Slaying Army.

Qin Hongshi looked somewhat uneasy, as if she dared not think too much about those three words.

The man standing in front of the statue of Huang Xian turned around. His aged face was etched with deep lines, and the skin on his face drooped down to his neck, revealing large patches of dark age spots.

He held up a stick of incense: "The time is not yet right."

"When will you arrive?" Qin Hongshi asked irritably. "You've taken away the shrines of the City God and the Earth God, leaving only that old monster in the river. Are you going to kill him too?"

"Don't rush. It's easy to change the fate of an ordinary person, but it's not so easy to change the fate of a cultivator like you who is so deeply bound to the Dao lineage."

Huang Liu said again:

"If you cannot change your aura, even if you go to the North, you will be rejected by heaven and earth and find it difficult to move forward."

Qin Hongshi looked annoyed, but there was nothing she could do.

Huang Liu reassured him, "If it weren't for these troublemakers from the Fa Sect, I would have already completed my mission here. Now, if you want to return to the North with me sooner, send more offerings."

"Again? Almost all the sacrificial offerings of the right age in the city have been seized. The rest all have parents. If we take action indiscriminately, it will definitely cause a commotion."

"That's your problem, it's none of my business."

Qin Hongshi sighed and asked in a deep voice, "How much more do you need?"

"At least thirty."

"When?"

"The sooner the better. The Fajiao sect could make a move at any time. Hebo is on his deathbed and will definitely fight to the death. It will happen within the next two days."

……

"That's troublesome."

Zhou Qing looked at the text that kept popping up in the game.

The situation in Lianshan City was not complicated, but Zhou Qing sensed a great danger approaching.

The two forces clashed, clearly aiming to turn the entire Lianshan City into a battlefield. This was the most dangerous time, and a moment's carelessness could result in certain death.

He subconsciously reached out and fiddled with the pen holder on the desk.

With a slight twist of the wrist.

The pen holder then vanished into thin air.

As soon as the thought crossed his mind, the pen holder rolled out of the void again.

"Hidden Universe in a Sleeve" is a common storage technique, but he felt that this common technique had great potential and was not just about collecting items.

"There are many experts in the dental industry. Just from the game text, there were more than ten dangerous spots. Shen Cishuang's plan is not so easy to execute."

And then there's Li Qinghe; that little girl is determined to die, she's a real headache too.

Zhou Qing was thinking.

Green Plum hurried in from outside the door: "Young master, the opera troupe you asked me to invite has arrived. Also, it seems that Steward Zheng has been found as well."
