Volume 1: Rebellion in Chang'an Chapter 14: How to break the deadlock?
If the demon cultivators' plot can be foiled, will the tragedy of Zhenjiang City be prevented from happening again?
Lu Qingshan was not sure.
But he wanted to give it a try.
The tragedy of Zhenjiang Prefecture is also the tragedy of the entire human race.
"Qi Yuan!"
Lu Qingshan finally wrote this name on the table with wine.
Qi Yuan, the guardian of Zhenjiang Prefecture who is in charge of the division of the Tianji Mirror!
knock--
knock--
knock--
Lu Qingshan kept tapping the table with his fingers, his brows furrowed.
It is July 13th.
There are still two days before Qi Yuan loses the Tianji Mirror.
Time is running out.
He needs to find a way out as soon as possible!
For him, there are three key issues that need to be addressed.
First, we have to figure out how these magic cultivators managed to snatch the Heavenly Secret Mirror from Qi Yuan.
Only by knowing how to steal the spotlight can you counter the opponent's moves.
Second, I have to find a way to meet Qi Yuan.
But Qi Yuan was a great Nascent Soul cultivator and the guardian of a prefecture. How could a small cultivator like me, who was at the second level of Qi Refining, just go and see him whenever I wanted?
Third, after meeting Qi Yuan, you have to find a way to gain his trust.
…
Time passes by little by little.
Lu Qingshan suddenly remembered something.
Tian Lingzi, a professional player who ranked seventh on the player spiritual cultivation rankings in his previous life, was accepted as a disciple by Tianji Temple because he completed a hidden mission.
After a lot of hard work, Tian Lingzi quickly accumulated enough contribution points for the sect. After being valued by the Tianji Temple, he was given a Tianji Mirror by the Tianji Temple.
Tian Lingzi once shared a screenshot of the attributes of the Tianji Mirror storyboard on a player forum, which created quite a stir for himself.
…
【Tianji Mirror·Storyboard】
Level: Daoqi (fake)
Note: The secret cannot be revealed
Magical weapon effect: Divination +4
Supernatural Power: [Observing the Sky]
Passive: If something terrible happens in the current area, the owner of the magic weapon will feel it vaguely.
Active: Reduce life span and observe the secrets of the universe. Cooldown time: 15 days.
…
The Tianji Mirror is a special magical weapon that does not enhance its combat capability in any way, but no matter what, its level column says "Taoist weapon".
This is the first Taoist weapon owned by the player, even though there is a fake word behind it.
So even though a long time had passed, Lu Qingshan still remembered its attributes clearly.
Lu Qingshan's eyes fixed.
An idea came to my mind.
Could it be?
Lu Qingshan glanced at the Western Rat King, who was enjoying himself by drinking and eating, and suddenly asked, "Do you remember how long ago you saw the blood pool?"
The King of Western Rat, who was addicted to human delicacies, raised his head in confusion.
After thinking about it, he counted on his fingers, shook his head, and simply sat down on the table and started counting on his toes.
"It should be thirteen days ago." Finally, the King of Western Rat understood and gave the answer.
Thirteen days ago.
That was on the first day of July, the magic cultivator released the signal of the blood pool to attract Qi Yuan's attention.
On July 15th, Qi Yuancai lost the mirror of the Tianji Mirror in Yuanshan City.
There is a gap of fifteen days in between.
Lu Qingshan seemed to be thinking about something.
Judging from the style of the Tianji Temple disciples, they must have rushed to Zhiyuan Mountain City on the day they discovered the blood pool.
The demon cultivator could obviously take action now, as there are still so many days left. Why did he have to drag it out for a whole half month and only take action on July 15th?
Unless, according to their plan, July 15th is the time to take action.
What kind of plan would have such strict time requirements?
Let’s recall the properties of the Tianji Mirror’s sub-mirror.
The answer is already apparent.
…
Lu Qingshan stood up.
The next step is to find a way to meet Qi Yuan.
He has no idea how to do it specifically.
But I can't think of any solution if I just sit here. I might as well take a walk around the city first. It might give me some inspiration.
By the way, I can deal with my own harvest and see if I can buy one or two suitable sword skills.
…
Lu Qingshan looked up at the huge attic in front of him. On the plaque of the huge attic, four large gold-plated characters "Daxia Trading Company" were engraved in a flamboyant manner.
Daxia Trading Company is not only the largest trading company in Yuanshan City, but also the largest trading company in the entire human race.
It is spread across all human cities and has a long history. Over countless years, it has accumulated countless wealth.
In the world of immortals and heroes, it is obviously impossible for such a wealthy business to exist peacefully for so many years without sufficient background.
The Daxia Trading Company naturally has a backer, and that is the highest mountain in the entire human race.
The royal family of Daxia!
That’s right, Daxia Trading Company belongs to the Daxia royal family.
The Great Xia royal family controls the world, provides spiritual formations for human cities and the army of cultivators, and shoulders the important task of protecting and strengthening the human race. Even the level of the cultivation sects is assessed by the Great Xia royal family. Their power and status are self-evident.
It is not surprising that the Great Xia Trading Company, which is under the Great Xia royal family, has developed into the largest trading company of the human race.
"Behave yourself after you go in." Lu Qingshan instructed the King of Western Rat on his shoulder.
The King of Western Rat nodded his little head vigorously.
As such an important place, the defenses here are extremely strict. If Lu Qingshan remembered correctly, the county-level Da Xia Trading Company not only has high-grade formations, but also has Jindan monks stationed in the pavilion all year round.
If you cause trouble at Daxia Trading Company, you are seeking death.
The entire Daxia Trading Company has three floors. The first floor is for Qi-refining cultivators, the second floor is for Foundation-building cultivators, and the third floor is for Jindan realm cultivators.
Lu Qingshan's cultivation level at this time was naturally only at the first level.
Lu Qingshan stepped into the door of Daxia Trading Company.
The hall can accommodate dozens of people, the counter is made of precious red sandalwood, and there are several attendants wearing uniform green clothes, all of which reveal the grandeur of Daxia Trading Company.
There were several guests coming and going in the hall. Lu Qingshan took a quick look and saw that they were all cultivators above the third level of Qi Refining.
Several blue-robed attendants were explaining something to the monks.
At this time, a young servant in a green shirt came up with a big smile on his face and asked, "Sir, do you want to sell or buy something?"
"I want to sell some things and see if there are any suitable sword skills." Lu Qingshan said.
When the young servant in green heard what Lu Qingshan said, he smiled and said respectfully, "Sir, if you want to sell some items, please follow me over here . I can't decide the price of the monks' items, so I need to ask the real person in our company to make the assessment."
Lu Qingshan nodded: "Of course."
The servant in green led Lu Qingshan to the counter on the side.
Sitting next to the counter was an old man with white hair and beard, who looked quite extraordinary.
"Mr. Qin, this guest wants to sell something." The servant in green clothes introduced.
The old man nodded, indicating that he understood. He glanced at Lu Qingshan and said gently, "I am the shopkeeper of the first floor of Daxia Trading Company. I don't know what you want to sell. I will definitely give you the most reasonable price."
Lu Qingshan took out several jade slips of martial arts techniques and spells that he had seized from his storage bag. After thinking for a while, he took off the earth spirit pendant hanging on his waist and put it on.
Old Qin took the jade slip, released his spiritual consciousness to sense the contents inside, then quickly put it down. Finally, he picked up the earth spirit pendant, placed it in his hand, and observed it for a moment.
"The jade slips of cultivation techniques and magic spells you want to sell are all very common items. Our Daxia Trading Company will still accept them, but the price is not high. I can give you twenty first-grade spirit stones for these jade slips. As for this jade pendant magic weapon..."
Old Qin paused, and then spoke again: "The magic on it is just a very low-level first-grade stone skin magic, which is nothing special. However, the raw material of the jade pendant is grass cold jade, which is somewhat precious. Although my Daxia Trading Company generally does not purchase low-grade common tools for more than 20 first-grade spirit stones, I can make the decision and give you 25 first-grade spirit stones. What do you think?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Qingshan nodded slightly.
As the largest trading company of the human race, they are quite generous and the prices they offer are very fair.
Lu Qingshan's own estimated price was only forty first-grade spirit stones, but he did not expect that Mr. Qin in front of him would give him five more. Naturally, he had no reason to be dissatisfied.
