Chapter 38 – King Qin?
"This time, I need to find a way to reach the Cursed Land at the Liangzhou Borderlands and cultivate the Five Gates of Heaven."
Chen Shi silently gave himself a mental suggestion.
Then, he initiated the simulation.
Since this time he might go to the Cursed Land, with great uncertainty, he only invested 10 points of Destiny to test the waters.
[Ding, refreshing talents...]
[Ding, congratulations on successfully refreshing White Talent · I Love Green. White Talent · Old Longevity Star. Please choose your talent within one minute.]
[I Love Green: When there are green objects within ten meters, your mood becomes extremely joyful.]
[Old Longevity Star: You have a lifespan of 150 years, reaching the theoretical limit of the human body.]
Chen Shi didn't hesitate.
He immediately locked in the White Talent, Old Longevity Star.
Then, he curled up his body and shifted to a more comfortable position on the Beauty Couch.
[Ding! Talent selection successful, life simulation begins.]
[Due to Lin Qiushui's identity issue, you didn't choose to stay overnight at the Yun Residence. In front of your eldest and second brothers, you chose to protect the eldest.]
[...You postponed the engagement.]
[...You sought out Li Ping to enter the Martial Practice Field.]
[...You entered the Scripture Repository and acquired the Five Gates of Heaven.]
[...You received a reward from Lin Manqing. Subsequently, you expressed that you had a batch of spirit herbs and hoped to find a Profound Grade Alchemist through her connections to process them, preferably into Bone Refining Pills.]
[Lin Manqing almost laughed in exasperation after hearing your words. A Profound Alchemist is even more revered than a Heaven-Human Ancestor. Even she would have to expend significant favors to invite one. To think you want to invite such a person for a few low-grade spirit herbs is truly overestimating yourself.]
[However, due to your genius status, she didn't say much but asked what kind of Body Tempering Pill you wanted, and she would try to help.]
[You saw through Lin Manqing's perfunctory attitude.]
[Then, you took out a jade box that you had prepared in advance from your bosom.]
[Lin Manqing opened it and looked.]
[She suddenly stood up.]
[Shocked, she asked where you got this thing.]
[You didn't answer that question but earnestly requested Lin Manqing to do you a favor. If successful, you were willing to share a great opportunity with her. Finally, you mentioned that this secret could help Song Qingwei refine the legendary Supreme Golden Bones, or even Jade Bones.]
[Lin Manqing gazed deeply at you.]
[She asked what you needed her to do.]
[Then, you revealed Elder Wang's spy identity, hoping Lin Manqing would send an Innate Realm Expert to arrest him and perform a Soul Search to uncover his background.]
[Lin Manqing's gaze towards you gradually changed.]
[It became more dangerous.]
[You knew this woman might harbor ill intentions towards you. Although you were panicking inside, you remained calm on the surface, asserting that your information was absolutely true, and if there was any falsehood, you were willing to trade your life for it.]
[Lin Manqing looked at your confident demeanor.]
[After a long silence.]
[She finally agreed to your request.]
[However, due to Elder Wang's sensitive identity, she stated that she needed a day to prepare.]
[...You returned to the Yun Residence and used half a bottle of Profound Grade - Mid Quality Drunken Immortal Brew to help Song Fan successfully sense his Vital Qi and Blood. He was overjoyed and quickly expressed his gratitude to you, somewhat embarrassedly asking if you could help him with his request to enter the Martial Practice Field.]
[You shook your head, stating that at his age, he should venture out more and not be a sheltered flower.]
[Song Fan earnestly listened to your advice.]
[He decided to go out and gain experience.]
[Before parting, you earnestly told Song Fan that after leaving the Divine General's Manor, he should first join the Wang Family Escort Agency in Liangzhou City. If he encountered bandits during the escort, he should eliminate them and then raid their lair. At that point, he should search carefully because he might find a Profound Grade ring...]
[After finding the ring, he shouldn't just focus on cultivation. He should go to the bottom of Yunmeng City Lake in Liangzhou as soon as possible, diving and swimming often. He might encounter another great opportunity, like finding some Spirit Marrow, and then go to the Treasure Gathering Pavilion in Yunmeng City to retrieve something...]
[Song Fan was stunned for a long time after hearing this.]
[He didn't understand what you meant, but out of gratitude for your kindness, he carefully remembered what you said. Then, with a somewhat strange expression, he asked you what he should retrieve from the Treasure Gathering Pavilion.]
[You gave a mysterious smile and said, "You'll know when the time comes. Someone will tell you."]
[Song Fan left, bewildered.]
[That night, after a week of restraint, you couldn't help but stay overnight at the Yun Residence.]
[...]
[The next day, you woke up refreshed.]
[Just as you were about to find Lin Manqing, you discovered she was already waiting for you in the Yun Residence's main hall.]
[You asked how things went.]
[Lin Manqing straightforwardly told you that Elder Wang's identity was indeed problematic. He was a spy planted in the Song family by the Qin King's Manor. Recently, he even bribed the Ninth Young Master's servant to frame you, but it didn't succeed. Recently, Elder Wang received a secret letter from the Qin King's Manor, intending to use Lin Qiushui to continue framing you. However, before he could act, that woman was taken into your room...]
Chen Shi's eyes narrowed slightly.
Qin King's Manor.
He knew about it.
King Qin, Jiang Yan, was the current emperor's brother and a Heaven-Human Powerhouse. His fiefdom was precisely Liangzhou City.
Is this the person who wants my life?
