There was a horizontal table in the room, and there was an incense burner on top of it. Smoke of sandalwood was rising from it.
There was a woman sitting cross-legged behind the table, and the middle-aged man from before was standing behind the woman in a very respectful manner.
Lu Qingshan took a light whiff of the sandalwood fragrance in the air, and a refreshing feeling rushed into his mind.
He felt refreshed, and the distracting thoughts in his mind gradually dissipated.
This was the "Mind-Calming Incense"!
It was the best treasure to aid in cultivation, and it could allow cultivators to enter a state of cultivation faster, and at the same time, increase the efficiency of cultivation.
The market price of the most common Mind-Calming Incense was one third-grade spirit stone. Those who could use it to aid in cultivation were either rich or respectable.
However, it was normal for the lady in front of him to be able to use the Mind-Calming Incense to aid in cultivation.
The owner of the Zhishou Building's branch in the prefecture city was the Golden Elixir Daoist.
The first four realms of a cultivator were Qi Refinement, Foundation Establishment, Golden Elixir, and Nascent Soul. Every increase in realm was a qualitative leap in strength.
The Golden Elixir Daoist was considered the highest level of combat power in Origin Mountain City.
The owner of the Origin Mountain House was a lady who looked to be around twenty-four or twenty-five years old.
She was dressed in snow-white clothes, and her eyes were sharp, but she was also very elegant. She was very pleasing to the eye.
However, since she was the Golden Elixir Daoist, her age could not be judged simply from her appearance.
She might be someone from his great-grandmother's generation.
Lu Qingshan thought to himself.
If he remembered correctly, this body of his was only fifteen years old, and he was a handsome cultivator.
The lady sized up Lu Qingshan, and her face was as calm as water. Her voice was indifferent. "Where did you hear the name of the Hades?"
Lu Qingshan replied in a manner that was neither servile nor overbearing, "It was a coincidence."
"A coincidence?" The lady's voice rose slightly.
"I am Lu Qingshan, a disciple of the Qingzhou Town's Jiang Residence's Lu Family." Lu Qingshan did not directly answer the lady's question. Instead, he asked again, "May I know the name of the owner?"
The Lu Clan was one of the 36 Cultivation Clans in Zhenjiang Prefecture.
Even though Zhishou Tower wouldn't care about this little bit of power, Lu Qingshan still didn't mind giving himself a background.
"Dantai Qingrun." The woman frowned, but she still reported her name without the slightest bit of pretentiousness or hesitation.
"Tower Lord Dantai." Lu Qingshan nodded and said, "The Hades are an organization of Demons that has been lurking among the human race. Their influence covers the seven regions and is extremely vast.
At first, Hades was a group of Demons who were good at camouflage and infiltration. They snuck into the seven realms of the human race and roped in a large number of cultivators with promises or coercion.
Under the nourishment of benefits and desires, Hades' influence grew bigger and bigger. They disregarded human life and committed all kinds of crimes.
In the great war 20,000 years ago, even though Xia Dao Ancestor led the human cultivators to defeat the Demons and severely injure the Hades, and then established the Da Xia Kingdom to protect the human race, the Hades didn't disappear. Instead, they stubbornly persisted.
The Hades silently lurked among the human race and redeveloped their influence. They are like a malignant tumor, recklessly growing in the human race's territory. "
Lu Qingshan calmly explained his understanding of the Hades.
The world of 《Nine Heavens》 was very, very big.
The reason why 《Nine Heavens》 was called "Nine Heavens" was because this world had a total of nine worlds.
But even before transmigrating, Lu Qingshan only knew the names of two of the worlds.
One was the world that the players had just been born, and it was also the world controlled by the human race, Firmament!
The other was the world where the Demons lived, the Abyss!
The Abyss and Firmament were two worlds adjacent to each other. In order to compete for resources and strengthen their own race, the Demons in the Abyss had always been trying to conquer Firmament and turn the human race into the Demons' vassals and slaves.
20,000 years ago, in the full-scale invasion launched by the Demons, the human cultivation world was divided into sects, and there was a division between good and evil. They had been fighting for themselves and were utterly defeated by the Demons. The people in the seven regions of Firmament were plunged into misery and suffering.
When the Firmament was about to be lost and the human race was about to become the slaves of the Demons, Xia Dao Ancestor went through the Nine Heavenly Tribulations and became a Dao Ancestor. With the power of a Dao Ancestor, he turned the tide and stopped the Demons.
After driving the Demons back to the Abyss and rebuilding the human race, Xia Dao Ancestor learned his lesson. On the basis of preserving the sects' independence, he established the Da Xia Kingdom's Royal Family to unify the human race and protect the human race.
This was also the reason why there was a so-called Royal Family in the world of Xianxia.
There was no other reason. The bloodline of a Dao Ancestor was the emperor, and it was not to be disrespected!
After Xia Dao Ancestor defeated the Demons, he built a large human city at the border between Firmament and the Abyss, Tianhe City.
With Tianhe City as the frontline battlefield base, the Human Clan blocked the Devil Clan out of the sky. Coupled with the deterrence of the Tao Ancestor, the Human Clan had been able to recuperate and gradually become stronger in the past 20,000 years.
However, as the Demons' power, the Hades was hidden in the human territory. It was like a bomb that would explode at any time.
Therefore, eliminating the Hades' power had always been a very unified goal of the human race's major forces.
.....
Dantai Qingrun raised her slender eyebrows slightly. "You're right, but this is not something that a second-level Qi Refinement cultivator like you should know. Not to mention, you can find our Zhishou Tower."
Dantai Qingrun's eyes turned cold.
In an instant, a heavy pressure descended on Lu Qingshan.
[Release of Spiritual Force]!
The pressure released by the Golden Elixir Daoist's Spiritual Force alone was enough to immobilize Lu Qingshan, who was at the second level of Qi Refinement.
Lu Qingshan twitched the corner of his mouth with difficulty. "Zhishou Tower exists to fight against the Hades. Are you sure … you don't want to hear me out?"
"Tower Lord." A middle-aged male cultivator who had been standing silently at the side suddenly advised, "Why don't you listen to what he has to say?"
Dantai Qingrun frowned and thought for a moment. Finally, she nodded and said, "Go on."
Lu Qingshan felt his body relax.
The suffocating pressure had dissipated.
One played the bad guy, the other played the good guy. It was a very classic old trick, but it was a little tacky.
Lu Qingshan chuckled and suddenly said, "Devil Cultivator: Perfected Blood Corpse. Current location: Origin Mountain City. Strength: Foundation Establishment. Appearance: a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties. Beside him is a female disciple at the fourth level of Qi Refinement."
Dantai Qingrun was silent for a moment.
"What do you mean?"
"I'll give you a small gift first, then we'll talk about the next thing."
"The Hades matter is very important. It's better to believe it than not," the middle-aged male cultivator said to Dantai Qingrun.
Dantai Qingrun's eyes flashed. She nodded and said, "Then I'll have to trouble you to make a trip, Uncle Rong."
The middle-aged male cultivator gave Lu Qingshan a meaningful look, then turned and left the room.
.....
After the middle-aged male cultivator left, only Lu Qingshan and Dantai Qingrun were left in the room.
For a moment, the atmosphere was a little strange.
"Tower Lord Dantai is a sword cultivator, right?"
