If he could foil the Demonic Cultivators' plan, would the tragedy in Zhenjiang Prefecture not happen again?
Lu Qingshan wasn't sure.
But he wanted to give it a try.
The tragedy in Zhenjiang Prefecture was also the tragedy of the entire human race.
"Qi Yuan!"
Lu Qingshan wrote this name on the table with wine.
The Zhenjiang Prefecture Warden who was in charge of the Divine Secrets Mirror, Qi Yuan!
Knock —
Knock —
Knock —
Lu Qingshan tapped the table with his fingers and frowned.
It was now the 13th of July.
There were two more days until Qi Yuan lost the Divine Secrets Mirror.
Time was of the essence.
He needed to find a way out as soon as possible!
To him, there were three key problems that needed to be solved.
First, he had to figure out how the Demonic Cultivators managed to snatch the Divine Secrets Mirror from Qi Yuan.
Only when he knew how to snatch the mirror would he be able to counter them.
Second, he had to find a way to meet Qi Yuan.
But Qi Yuan was a Nascent Soul cultivator with a Prefecture Warden. How could a Qi Refinement Stage Level Two cultivator meet him?
Third, he had to find a way to gain Qi Yuan's trust after meeting him.
...
Time passed by slowly.
Lu Qingshan suddenly thought of something.
In his previous life, Tian Lingzi, who was ranked seventh on the Spirit Cultivator Leaderboard, was accepted as a disciple by the Divine Secrets Temple because he completed a hidden mission.
After some hard work, Tian Lingzi quickly accumulated enough Sect Contribution Points. After being valued by the Heaven's Secrets Temple, he was given a Heaven's Secrets Mirror.
Tian Lingzi had once shared a screenshot of the Divine Secrets Mirror's attributes on the Player Forum, creating quite a reputation for himself.

The Divine Secrets Mirror was a special Magic Artifact that didn't increase the user's combat ability. But no matter what, its grade was a Dao Artifact.
This was the first Dao Artifact that a player owned, even if it had the word "fake" behind it.
Therefore, even though a long time had passed, Lu Qingshan still remembered its attributes clearly.
Lu Qingshan's eyes narrowed.
An idea popped up in his mind.
Could it be?
Lu Qingshan glanced at the Western Rat King, who was sipping wine and eating meat, and suddenly asked, "Do you remember exactly when you saw the blood pool?"
The Western Rat King, who was addicted to human delicacies, raised his head in confusion.
After thinking for a while, he counted with his fingers and shook his head. Then, he simply sat down on the table and started counting his toes.
"It should have been thirteen days ago." Finally, the Western Rat King understood and gave the answer.
Thirteen days ago.
On the first day of the seventh lunar month, the Xiumoists released the signal of the blood pool to attract Qi Yuan's attention.
On the 15th day of the 7th month, Qi Yuan lost the Heaven's Secrets Mirror in Origin Mountain City.
There was a total of fifteen days in between.
Lu Qingshan was deep in thought.
With the style of the Heaven's Secrets Temple disciples, they must have rushed to Origin Mountain City on the day they discovered the blood pool.
The Xiumoists could have made their move at this time, and there were still so many days in between. Why did they drag it out for half a month and only make their move on the 15th day of the 7th lunar month?
Unless, for their plan, the 15th day of the 7th lunar month was the best time to make their move.
Then, what kind of plan would have such a strict requirement on the time?
He recalled the attributes of the Heaven's Secrets Mirror.
The answer was obvious.
.....
Lu Qingshan stood up.
The next step was to find a way to meet this Qi Yuan.
As for how to do it, he had no idea.
However, he could not think of anything just sitting here. Why not take a stroll around the city first? Maybe he could even get some inspiration.
At the same time, he could deal with his gains and see if he could buy one or two suitable sword skills.
.....
Lu Qingshan raised his head and looked at the huge loft in front of him. On the huge loft's signboard, the words "Da Xia Kingdom Trading Company" were engraved in gold.
The Da Xia Kingdom Trading Company was not only the largest trading company in Origin Mountain City, it was also the largest trading company in the entire human race.
It was spread across all human cities and had a long history. For countless years, it had amassed an unimaginable amount of wealth.
In the Xianxia world, if such a wealthy trading company did not have a sufficient background, it would not have been able to survive for so many years.
The Da Xia Kingdom Trading Company naturally had a backer, and it was the highest mountain in the entire human race.
The Da Xia Kingdom's royal family!
That's right, the Da Xia Kingdom Trading Company belonged to the Da Xia Kingdom's royal family.
The Da Xia Kingdom's royal family was in charge of the world. They provided for the human race's cities, Spirit Formations, and cultivator armies. They shouldered the heavy responsibility of protecting and strengthening the human race. Even the level of cultivation sects was evaluated by the Da Xia Kingdom's royal family. Their power and status were self-evident.
As the Da Xia Kingdom Trading Company under the command of the Da Xia Kingdom's royal family, it was naturally not strange for it to develop into the largest trading company in the human race.
"Behave yourself when you go in," Lu Qingshan instructed the Western Rat King on his shoulder.
The Western Rat King nodded its little head vigorously.
As such an important place, the security here was extremely tight. If Lu Qingshan remembered correctly, the county-level Da Xia Kingdom Trading Company had not only set up a high-ranked formation, but also had a Golden Elixir Daoist stationed in the loft all year round.
Causing trouble in the Da Xia Kingdom Trading Company was the same as courting death.
The entire Da Xia Kingdom Trading Company had three floors. The first floor was for Qi Refining cultivators, the second floor was for Foundation Establishment cultivators, and the third floor was for Golden Elixir Daoist Masters.
With Lu Qingshan's current cultivation level, he could only wander around the first floor.
Lu Qingshan stepped into the Da Xia Kingdom Trading Company's entrance.
The hall was large enough to accommodate dozens of people. The counter was made of precious red sandalwood, and there were several attendants wearing the same green robes. All of this revealed the grandeur of the Da Xia Kingdom Trading Company.
There were several guests coming and going in the hall. Lu Qingshan glanced at them and saw that they were all cultivators above the third layer of Qi Refining.
Several green-robed attendants were explaining something to a few cultivators.
At this time, a green-robed servant greeted him with a face full of smiles. "Sir, do you want to sell or buy something?"
"I want to sell a few things. I also want to see if there are any suitable sword skills." Lu Qingshan said.
Hearing Lu Qingshan's words, the green-robed servant's smile didn't change. He respectfully said, "Sir, if you want to sell a few things, please follow me over here. I can't make the decision on the price of cultivators' items. I'll have to ask the Daoist Masters of our Trading Company to make the decision."
Lu Qingshan nodded. "Of course."
The green-robed servant led Lu Qingshan to the counter at the side.
An old man with white hair and a beard was sitting at the counter. He seemed to have an extraordinary bearing.
"Old Man Qin, this customer wants to sell a few things." The green-robed servant introduced.
The old man nodded, indicating that he understood. He glanced at Lu Qingshan and said gently, "I'm the shopkeeper of the first floor of the Da Xia Kingdom Trading Company. Sir, what do you want to sell? I'll definitely give you the most reasonable price."
Lu Qingshan took out a few cultivation method jade slips and magic spell jade slips from his storage bag. After thinking for a while, he also took off the Earth Spirit Pendant hanging on his waist and put it on the jade slips.
Old Man Qin took the jade slips and used his spiritual sense to sense the contents. He quickly put them down. Finally, he picked up the Earth Spirit Pendant and put it on his hand, observing it for a moment.
"The cultivation method jade slips and magic method jade slips you want to sell are the most common items. Our Da Xia Kingdom Trading Company does accept them, but the price is not high. I can give you twenty first-grade spirit stones for these jade slips. As for this magic tool jade pendant …"
Old Man Qin paused and said again, "The magic spell on it is only a low-level first-grade stone skin spell. There's nothing special about it. However, the jade pendant's raw material is Grass Cold Jade, so it's quite precious. Although our Da Xia Kingdom Trading Company generally doesn't buy low-grade ordinary magic tools for more than twenty first-grade spirit stones, I can make the decision and give you twenty-five first-grade spirit stones. What do you think, sir?"
Lu Qingshan heard this and nodded slightly.
As the largest trading company in the human race, they were very generous and gave a very fair price.
Lu Qingshan estimated the price to be forty first-grade spirit stones. He didn't expect Old Man Qin to give him five more. Naturally, he had no reason to be dissatisfied.
