"Hades is making a big move this time. They want to target our Zhenjiang Prefecture," Qi Yuan said to Lu Qingshan as soon as Lin Yao left the hall.
Lu Qingshan was silent.
The Corpse Puppet Rebellion was the main storyline of the first game version of Nine Heavens. Naturally, it was a big move.
"For this operation, they planned for a long time to steal my Heaven's Secrets Mirror.
Although the plan to steal the mirror in Origin Mountain City failed, I felt uneasy from then on.
Hades never does things without a goal in mind. Since they wanted to steal my Heaven's Secrets Mirror, they must have some special plans. They were afraid that the Heaven's Secrets Mirror's [Sky Observation] would notice something, so they did this.
Thus, after returning, I thought for a long time and used the Heaven's Secrets Mirror's [Sky Observation] again.
At first, I only saw a ball of fog. "
This was probably caused by Hades paying a price to conceal the Heaven's Secrets.
"This ball of fog made me realize that things weren't simple. Then, I ignored the price and used all my strength to activate [Sky Observation]. Do you know what I saw?" Qi Yuan asked.
Qi Yuan said it casually, but the meaning behind it wasn't as simple as it sounded.
He ignored the price and used up almost all of his lifespan.
Lu Qingshan sighed in his heart, but he still asked, "What?"
"The entire Zhenjiang Prefecture, from the County City to the Prefecture City, was surrounded by a ball of black fog and bloody light."
Qi Yuan's tone was calm, but the words he said were earth-shattering.
Lu Qingshan's heart skipped a beat.
The development of the situation had already changed.
This time, Qi Yuan didn't lose the Heaven's Secrets Mirror. Instead, he used [Sky Observation] and used up almost all of his lifespan to obtain information that he didn't know about in his previous life.
This was a turning point.
Lu Qingshan frowned and said, "Does this mean that Hades's operation will affect the entire Zhenjiang Prefecture?"
Qi Yuan nodded, "I think so too. However, I don't know what methods Hades will use.
Hades has been planning for this operation for who knows how long. We have no idea where to start. "
The mysteries of heaven could not be revealed. Being able to see the signs through Heaven Observation was already the ability to cut off the sky. To really crack the plan of the Hades?
Only man could conquer nature.
Qi Yuan continued, "It wasn't until you reported the rising prices of the three kinds of spirit materials that we found a breakthrough."
Qi Yuan and Zhishou Tower were not weak. The reason why Lu Qingshan could always detect information that they could not was because Lu Qingshan clearly knew the direction of the plot.
Hindsight was not difficult.
He could reverse engineer the course of action of the Hades through the outcome of events that he already knew.
The Hades had mobilized an uncountable number of Corpse Puppets for the Corpse Puppet Riot.
In order to refine such a large number of corpse puppets, the amount of raw materials needed would be incalculable.
Therefore, with just a little thought, one could guess that the price of the raw materials used to refine corpse puppets in the Zhenjiang Prefecture would definitely increase in the next few decades.
This was nothing in Lu Qingshan's eyes.
However, to Qi Yuan and Zhishou Tower, who would have noticed the changes in the prices of a few first-grade spiritual materials in the vast spiritual material market, since they did not know that the Underworld was about to stir up a huge commotion through the use of corpse puppets?
Therefore, Qi Yuan and Dantai Qingrun had always been shocked that Lu Qingshan could discover this. In their hearts, they unconsciously raised their evaluation of Lu Qingshan to a certain level.
"During this period of time, we investigated the practitioners who had bought large quantities of the main materials for the Corpse Puppet Elixir in the past twenty years. Then, through these practitioners, we followed the clues and found the people behind them.
As expected, although they were hidden very deeply, we could find one or two clues that they were connected to the Hades.
We have already spread this net. Just in case, Zhenjiang Tower has also requested reinforcements from Qingzhou Tower. Once the reinforcements arrive, it will be time to close the net. "
Qi Yuan sighed deeply. "Although we guessed that the Hades had infiltrated deeply into Zhenjiang Prefecture, we did not expect that the tip of the iceberg would be so large."
.....
After the conversation ended, Lu Qingshan slowly exhaled. He felt a little strange.
For some reason, Qi Yuan had told him the specific process and plan of Zhishou Tower's operation in detail.
Lu Qingshan pondered this in his heart as he prepared to leave Tianji Tower.
As soon as he walked out of the west hall, he saw Lin Yao who had been waiting for him for a long time.
"Young Master Lu." When Lin Yao saw Lu Qingshan walking over, she hurriedly went up and called out to him.
"Hmm?"
Lin Yao and Lu Qingshan's peach blossom eyes, which were inherited from Qing Ling's Lu Bei, looked at each other. Her eyelids darkened as she pursed her lips and asked, "Why are you using the favor that Supervisor Qi owes Young Master on me?"
Lin Yao felt a little anxious.
Ever since they met, Lu Qingshan had already helped her twice. Now, Lu Qingshan had bestowed her with such a great opportunity.
Lu Qingshan said slowly, "I'm just fulfilling my promise."
Lin Yao was stunned. She remembered.
Back then, Lu Qingshan had mentioned to her that the price for helping her become a Nascent Soul cultivator was that she had to work for him when Lu Qingshan needed her.
At that time, she did not think much of it and let the matter pass.
Later, as the price for Lu Qingshan's help to the Lin Family, she had voluntarily submitted to Lu Qingshan. She did not expect Lu Qingshan to still remember this.
Lu Qingshan saw the doubt in Lin Yao's heart. He chuckled and explained, "Besides, you will only be useful to me after I fully awaken the body-changing divine bloodline. I don't need a vase."
Lin Yao was silent for a while. Finally, she promised in a firm tone, "I will cultivate hard and strive to repay Young Master Lu's kindness as soon as possible."
Lu Qingshan did not stand on ceremony. He nodded and accepted Lin Yao's promise.
Cultivators were bound to strive.
This was the greatest opportunity Lin Yao had ever encountered since she was born. Therefore, even if she was a little scared, she would not refuse this opportunity no matter what.
Suddenly remembering something, Lu Qingshan took out a jade slip from his storage ring and handed it to Lin Yao.
Lin Yao was startled. She took the jade slip. "This is?"
Lu Qingshan had a mysterious smile on his face. "This is a Theurgy that I specially arranged for you.
It can maximize the power of your body-changing divine bloodline. Remember to practice it regularly. "
Lin Yao's expression turned solemn. "I dare not underestimate the Theurgy that Young Master Lu gave me."
.....
Lu Qingshan left the Tianji Sect.
Lin Yao was a chess piece that was not very useful now. However, she could be used as a general in the future.
If he wanted her to be useful, he would have to let her develop peacefully for a period of time.
He had already done all that he could for now.
There was no sect in the entire human race that could defeat the Tianji Sect. As long as she could gain the favor of the Tianji Sect, the Tianji Sect would be able to push Lin Yao to the Nascent Soul stage even if they used a huge amount of resources.
Moreover, avoiding the Zhenjiang Prefecture meant avoiding the Corpse Puppet Riot at the end of the year.
Then, Lin Yao, who had most likely died in the chaos of the Corpse Puppets in her previous life, could also change her fate without a trace.
It was now late August. There were only three to four months before the Corpse Puppet Riot at the end of the year.
In the end, the time was too short.
Lu Qingshan let out a long sigh in his heart.
If he could pull back the timeline that he transmigrated to a few decades ago and let him develop properly, he had the confidence and ability to easily stop this chaos by himself.
Now, he could only take one step at a time and try his best to see how far he could go.
However, no matter how things progressed, Lu Qingshan had already drawn a bottom line for himself in his heart.
Before November, he had to leave Zhenjiang City to avoid the massacre of the Hades during the Corpse Puppet Riot.
.....
After Lu Qingshan left, Lin Yao hurriedly checked the contents of the jade slip.
She was very curious about the Theurgy that Lu Qingshan had left for her.
What could it be?
Seven large words appeared in her mind.
[Actor's Self-Cultivation]?
