Chapter 169: Diverting Trouble to the West
Through Zhou Shihong's introduction, Qin Mo met everyone one by one.
Sitting at the top is the middle-aged scholar Chen Wenzhong, Tianshu star, the one holding the power.
Lu Ming, the Ju Men star, is an old man with a white beard. He wears a blue Taoist robe and has an immortal look. He is a representative of Taoism and is in the late stage of Jindan, just one step away from Yuanying.
Pojun Star Guo Yunshen is a middle-aged warrior with a restrained aura and a willingness to show his abilities. He is a martial arts master, a representative of an ancient martial arts family, and is in the middle stage .
Wei Tianli, the Lu Cun star, is a representative of an emerging cultivation family and is in the early stage of forming a golden elixir.
Then there is a scholar named Wenquxing and a Wuquxing named Zhou Shihong.
And Qin Mo,
He is the Lian Zhen star chosen by everyone, the representative of ordinary players, the sword bearer.
"Lian Zhen Star" is called "Killing Star" and "Prisoner Star" in ancient books. It is in charge of killing and imprisonment. Because of his arrogance, he is both good and evil, and often acts with a bit of evil in his heart and does whatever he wants.
It is somewhat similar to Qin Mo's previous performance.
…
The closed-door meeting lasted a whole day, and finally all the details of Tianshu were finalized.
Tianshu has three main responsibilities.
First, to prevent monks from abusing violence in reality.
Second, prevent the widespread dissemination of cultivation secrets.
Third, shoulder the responsibility of strangling the ferocious beasts and guarding China.
Strictly speaking, Tianshu is not a compulsory institution, but a relatively loose organization of monks. Its purpose is not to control the monks, but to maintain the bottom line.
In the world of earthly immortals, these responsibilities are generally undertaken by the sects.
In fact, most of the matters had been finalized before Qin Mo joined. Qin Mo could only be regarded as the final participant and therefore did not have much say.
It can be seen that Qin Mo is still very lacking in social resources.
Even Wei Tianli has an advantage over him.
Qin Mo didn't care about this. After all, strength is respected in the world of cultivation. Even if he didn't try to gain personal benefits, no one could ignore his existence.
It can still be ranked as one of the seven stars of Tianshu.
…
The meeting was over and Qin Mo was about to leave when someone called him from behind.
It’s Lu Ming from the Taoist sect.
"Friend Qin Mo, do you have time to drink tea together?"
"Okay." Qin Mo agreed happily.
Wei Tianli, who was following behind, originally wanted to chat with Qin Mo, but seeing this, he made a gesture helplessly, indicating that they could talk again next time.
Speaking of which, this was the first time the two met in real life.
Lu Ming came prepared. There was a set of ancient tea sets in the room, and his disciple Xiao Yang was making tea.
Of course it was just small talk at first.
They are all testing each other.
"I heard that young friend Qin Mo has been living outside the mountain, which is very different from us ascetic monks." Lu Ming's words had hidden meaning, and he became suspicious of Qin Mo's identity.
He looked through Qin Mo's file, but couldn't connect it to Taoism.
"I just happened to get an ancient book, and I can't be considered a Taoist." Qin Mo said frankly.
There is no intention of leaning towards Taoism.
Lu Ming was very surprised and asked tentatively: "Then, I wonder which lineage of the Three Pure Ones of Taoism you came from?"
"Lying high on the nine-layer cloud, I realize the truth of Taoism on the futon." Qin Mo sang a line of the introduction.
"Wha…what?"
Lu Ming lost his previous calmness and stood up suddenly.
Qin Mo just smiled.
Lu Ming then realized that he had lost his composure. He sat down again and looked at Qin Mo with a different gaze. He muttered to himself, "No wonder, no wonder..."
Qin Mo was also very surprised, as if the Taoist sect really knew something.
It's just hard to ask directly.
The two chatted for a while, and then Qin Mo got up and left.
After he left, Xiao Yang, who had been silent the whole time, asked in confusion: "Master, if Qin Mo really obtained the ancient inheritance, why didn't I see his inheritance magic weapon?"
People like Xiao Yang, after obtaining the inherited magic weapons, used the blood contract technique to store the magic weapons in their dantian like their own magic weapons, and thus brought them into "Honghuang".
Except for the Yanyun Cone, all the magical weapons used by Qin Mo have clear origins.
And Yanyun Cone,
It doesn't look like some kind of inherited magical weapon at all.
"It should be kept as a trump card and not revealed." Lu Ming said lightly.
"Master, are you saying that he still has a trump card?" Xiao Yang was speechless, feeling a huge sense of frustration in his heart.
As a proud disciple of the Taoist sect, he could barely catch up with Qin Mo at the beginning, but since the opening of the Zhu Xian subcontinent, the gap between the two has become wider and wider.
Now, even the master is lagging behind.
…
As soon as Qin Mo returned to the room, Wei Tianli came to visit.
It seemed like he had been waiting for a long time.
"Old Wei, how are you?" Qin Mo seemed relaxed.
In front of Qin Mo, Wei Tianli couldn't put on airs as an elder. In the world of cultivation, strength is respected. If he got serious, he had to call Qin Mo the leader.
"Some people want to see you." Wei Tianli said.
"Is he someone from your circle?" Qin Mo raised his eyebrows.
"Well, everyone wants to get to know you better, and also wants to start some cooperation with you in real life." In fact, the wealthy people wanted to pull Qin Mo into their circle.
To enhance the influence of the circle.
How could Qin Mo not know this? He said calmly, "Forget about the meeting. If you have anything to say, let's talk about it in Honghuang."
He didn't want to get too involved in real life matters.
"Oh well."
Wei Tianli felt a little regretful, but knowing Qin Mo's personality, he did not force him.
He wanted to do his best to befriend Qin Mo.
Looking back over the past few years, Wei Tianli's leap from a bell-ringer who placed his hopes on modern medicine to an influential figure in China's cultivation world is inseparable from his cooperation with Qin Mo.
The natural thing is to continue holding your thighs tightly.
…
Two days later, the Tianshu founding conference was officially held.
What was a bit strange was that in the crowded venue, more than a quarter of the players were from the Demon Cult. When they saw Qin Mo, they subconsciously called out, "Master!"
They even scrambled to take photos with Qin Mo and add him on VX. The originally serious venue suddenly turned into a large-scale star-chasing scene.
The atmosphere was a little awkward.
After the whole process, the seven big guys took turns to speak.
When it was Qin Mo's turn, he didn't make any long speeches, but just said lightly: "As the Sword Master of Tianshu, I just want to say that the existence of Tianshu is just to stick to the bottom line. As long as everyone does not commit any crimes or cross the line, then it is completely possible to pretend that Tianshu does not exist."
Zhou Shihong and others looked quite surprised. This was just a show of ruining the party.
There was also a small commotion below.
After a pause, Qin Mo continued, "But once you commit a crime, whether in "Honghuang" or in reality, I promise that Tianshu will be everywhere. Please don't doubt the power of Tianshu's punishment."
"Buzz~~~"
The crowd became agitated again, and some people clapped subconsciously.
This is a very domineering statement.
Zhou Shihong and others then breathed a sigh of relief and applauded.
…
After the meeting, Qin Mo returned to Jiangcheng on the same day.
The news about Tianshu also spread among the "Honghuang" player circle at the fastest speed, and Qin Mo and Wei Tianli naturally became the focus of heated discussion.
Especially Qin Mo.
The domineering declaration at the venue spread quickly.
Qin Mo had no intention of paying attention to it. He returned to the Black and White Mountain Villa to practice and lived a life undisturbed. In the short term, he didn't even plan to return to the Zhu Xian subcontinent.
There wasn't much there worth Qin Mo's nostalgia.
After another month, Qin Mo finally refined all the ore in stock. However, he was still short of some rare ores for refining the Nine Heavens Mysterious Sha Tower.
The problem is that he doesn't have much money to buy ore now.
The key is not available.
After thinking it over again,
Qin Mo still plans to make a trip to South Africa.
…
Durban, South Africa.
It was still that abandoned factory.
Qin Mo directly skipped the middleman Ricken and found the mineral tycoon Klo.
"Hey, Qin, nice to meet you." Cloe gave Qin Mo a big hug like a big brown bear, but he still didn't know Qin Mo's true identity.
But this did not dampen Clo's enthusiasm for Qin Mo. He made a fortune from the golden wound medicine alone.
"Here is the list of ores I want."
Qin Mo came prepared. He wrote down all the ore shortages required for refining the Jiu Tian Xuan Sha Pagoda, ready to settle the deal in one go.
Saves you from making another trip.
Clo took it and looked at it, his face full of surprise, and said with a smile: "Qin, you should know that rare minerals are very difficult to get nowadays. These will cost at least 500 million."
"It's still a friendly price." Clo added.
To put it into context, that’s more than three billion.
Qin Mo didn't have that much money, so he said slowly, "How about we trade?"
“Oh~~~”
Clo was even more surprised. "Qin, I find it hard to believe that anything can be worth this price."
"Look at this."
Qin Mo took out a handwritten Taoist book, which turned out to be "The Heavenly Demon Strategy".
"Is it a method of cultivating immortality?"
This time Clo was really surprised.
"Yes, and it is the most advanced technique, the 'Heavenly Demon Strategy', which can only be practiced by the leader of the Demon Cult of the Zhuxian Subcontinent. I believe you should have heard of it, right?"
Information about "Honghuang" has long become a hot topic around the world.
Qin Mo took out the magic technique "Heavenly Demon Strategy" after careful consideration. It could not only exchange for the required resources, but also prevent the top righteous techniques from flowing overseas.
Just let the foreigners do whatever they want.
"Qin, I think I need to get to know you again." Cloe was surprised and doubtful. He had experts in China and monks around him, so it was easy for him to verify the authenticity of the secret manuals.
"So, deal?" Qin Mo was very confident.
"make a deal!"
Clo was even more straightforward. He knew too well the value of this book of Taoism. If he managed it well, he could make at least two or three times, or even four or five times the profit.
The two looked at each other and smiled.
