“Little Immortal Song Zhong greets Immortal Venerable!”
They kowtowed on the ground, not even daring to raise their heads. They were extremely respectful.
After all, in their opinion, this Lord Cui in front of them was very likely a powerful existence who had already stepped into the Fourth Realm of the Immortal World.
No matter how respectful they were, it was not an exaggeration.
“There’s no need to be so polite.”
Cui Heng’s calm and gentle voice sounded. At the same time, Tang Huaiyi and Song Zhong felt a gentle and invisible force surge over and drag them up.
“Thank you, Immortal Venerable!” The two of them hurriedly bowed and thanked him.
“It’s been a while since we last met in the Lower World. Why are you two looking for me?” Cui Heng looked at the two of them with a faint smile.
Tang Huaiyi and Song Zhong looked at each other and nodded at the same time.
“The Immortal sects are too ferocious. Immortal Venerable, please protect us!”
“The Immortal sects are too ferocious. Immortal Venerable, please protect us!”
Then, the two of them took out thick scrolls from their sleeves and handed them to Cui Heng with both hands.
“Immortal Venerable, this is a book that has been accumulated in my Tang family of Mao County for 5,000 years. It records all kinds of strange things, as well as the history of the world, and martial techniques passed down, ancient secrets, and so on.”
Tang Huaiyi held the scroll with both hands and said, “This is a strange scroll left behind by our ancestors. As long as you place the book on the scroll, you can leave a title on it. When you want to read it again, you just have to tap on the title on the scroll.”
“Immortal Venerable, mine is the same.” Song Zhong was a little nervous. He couldn’t say anything long, so he could only explain it this way. Actually, this wasn’t wrong. He had also taken out such a scroll.
In fact, all 24 aristocratic families and Nine Preeminent Families had such scrolls for storage.
“Oh?” Cui Heng exclaimed softly. He was rather curious about this kind of scroll and smiled. “This is interesting.”
He took the scroll from Tang Huaiyi and unfolded it.
He realized that there were indeed many names of books written on it.
They were also carefully divided into genres, including history, martial arts, secrets, customs, biographies, and so on. The genres could be said to be extremely complicated.
There were probably tens of thousands of books in total, or even hundreds of thousands.
Cui Heng casually tapped on a title. Immediately, the words on the scroll changed and became the content of the book. He could read it directly.
His eyes lit up.
Good stuff!
To Cui Heng, who needed to explore and understand the unknown to allow his Nascent Soul to grow, these were not just books and information, but also elixirs that could greatly increase his cultivation.
Especially those secrets. There was a high chance that they were things that had a deep impact but few people knew about. They should be able to provide a lot of feedback for his cultivation of the unknown.
This would greatly increase his cultivation.
However, although Cui Heng was pleasantly surprised, his expression did not change. After putting away the Tang family’s scroll,
looked at the Song family’s scroll and was immediately overjoyed.
as
Although the books on the Song family’s scrolls were fewer than the Tang family’s, the entries that recorded the secrets of this world were 30% more than the Tang family’s. The final gains should not be bad.
Of course, after seeing the scroll Song Zhong handed over, Cui Heng still did not show any emotions.
This made Tang and Song feel a little uneasy. They lowered their heads and did not dare to speak.
After a long while.
Cui Heng said, “Song Zhong, go back to Linjiang County. Tang Huaiyi will stay here for now.”
“Thank you, Immortal Venerable!”
“Thank you, Immortal Venerable!”
Tang Huaiyi and Song Zhong immediately bowed and thanked him.
Although Cui Heng did not directly say that he wanted to protect them, in their opinion, this arrangement had already shown everything.
He wanted Song Zhong to return to Linjiang County to inform Hui Shi, so he would definitely not let anything happen to him on the way.
When he returned, he would not let someone who had completed errands for him to be harmed.
And the meaning of letting Tang Huaiyi stay here was even more obvious.
Cui Heng was in Guanzhou County, which was the safest place in the entire Heavenly Void World.
The two of them had finally gotten what they wanted.
With the books that their ancestors had accumulated for thousands of years, they obtained Cui Heng’s protection.
“Alright, there’s no need to thank me anymore.” Cui Heng waved his hand gently and said, “Next, don’t look for me unless it’s necessary.”
“Yes, Immortal Venerable!” Tang Huaiyi and Song Zhong hurriedly took their leave.
Cui Heng was the only one left in the room.
However, he did not immediately start reading the books recorded on these scrolls.
Instead, he turned to look at the north and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. He chuckled and said, “Is a fish going to take the bait?”
Then, he gave the System an order.
“Begin conversion!”
The books that the two top families had accumulated for thousands of years could definitely be converted into a lot of currency.
There was a very tall restaurant to the north of the inn where Cui Heng lived.
It was called Riverview Pavilion.
There were seven levels in total.
Even in the bustling Guanzhou City, there were only a handful of restaurants of this height. Compared to the surrounding shops, it could definitely be said to stand out.
At this moment, in the private room on the seventh floor of Riverview Pavilion.
There was a handsome man who looked to be in his thirties tasting wine. He did not open the window, but his gaze was fixed on the inn where Cui Heng was.
“What are those two old things Tang Huaiyi and Song Zhong doing in that restaurant?” The man drank a glass of wine and fell into deep thought. “They’re both Human Immortals and their status is not low, but their attitude became extremely humble after entering the inn.
Looks like there should be an extraordinary person living in this inn. He’s probably not just an Earth Immortal. He might be a Deva Realm expert. I’m going to catch a big fish this time.”
This handsome man was a Deva of the Heavenly Unity Sacred Sect, and his name was Sun Wanshi.
He was the one who had personally exterminated the Tang family of Mao County and the Song family of Guichuan and he had been secretly monitoring Tang Huaiyi and Song Zhong’s movements.
Previously, as Tang Huaiyi and Song Zhong had gone to Linjiang, Sun Wanshi did not dare to get too close and could only observe the situation outside the city.
The moment the two of them left the city yesterday, they attracted Sun Wanshi’s attention.
Hence, he followed them all the way to Guanzhou County. “I’ll observe the situation a little longer.”
Sun Wanshi had always been cautious and did not rashly go to the inn to investigate.
Instead, he continued to look at Tang Huaiyi and Song Zhong
To avoid alerting the enemy.
At noon that day, Song Zhong left Guanzhou County and ran towards Linjiang.
Sun Wanshi also noticed the change in his body. His eyes narrowed slightly as he sneered, “Alright, I’ve finally found it. It’s the power of a Deva’s Dharma Characteristic. He’s indeed here!”
At this moment, Song Zhong’s body was filled with the aura of a Deva’s Dharma Idol.
Moreover, it was incomparably pure, far surpassing the strength of an ordinary Deva. This was only a step away from the Heaven Immortal realm.
This was an extremely subtle power that Cui Heng had left on him in the name of temporary protection.
It could be considered a bait.
The goal was to let Sun Wanshi call more people over.
He was still unable to determine the peak strength of the Nine Immortal Sects. It was not appropriate for him to rashly go over and attack, but he could lure people over and investigate step by step. This way, while understanding the situation of the Nine Immortal Sects, he could also explore the unknown and increase his Nascent Soul cultivation.
It could be said to be the best of both worlds.
Sun Wanshi really took the bait.
Moreover, he was afraid that his investigation would alarm the “Deva” in the inn, so he left Guanzhou County and headed for a forest a hundred miles away.
This place was deserted. There was no one within a 20-mile radius.
In a cave deep in the forest, there was a cave abode. Inside, an old man who looked to be in his seventies or eighties was sitting cross-legged and meditating, harmonizing the Dharma Power in his body.
Sun Wanshi rushed to the cave and knelt down respectfully.
“Master, I’ve already found that fleeing Deva. Your guess is indeed right. He didn’t leave the Great Zhou at all and came to Linjiang. He probably wants to get in touch with that Pei fellow.
“This person’s Dharma power is extremely pure. I don’t think I can take him down in one strike. Master, please take action and capture this person. This is a huge opportunity for our Heavenly Unity Sacred Sect!”
