Ming Xiaolong pressed down on Lu Siyu's hand, stopping her. Lu Siyu was puzzled.
Ming Xiaolong's expression was terrifyingly gloomy, and the anger in her eyes had completely faded. When a person's anger reached its peak, they would completely calm down. Qian Shu's words were like a basin of cold water that poured over her from head to toe, completely waking her up.
She took a deep breath and looked up again. There was no emotion in her eyes.
Qian Shu frowned. Not good, he had said too much and pushed her too hard. This girl had become clear-headed.
But it didn't matter. No one could take Ming Xiaochou away. The Spring and Autumn Slip had to create another Myriad Elephant Valley with Ming Xiaochou as the starting point to fulfill his master's long-cherished wish.
They had planned this for a long time and couldn't afford to lose it.
Ming Xiaolong didn't speak and silently looked down.
Qian Shu glanced at the girl and didn't say anything else. If he said anything more, he would be too aggressive.
Granny Ya stepped forward. "Everyone, please come in for a chat."
Everyone followed Qian Shu in. The Spring and Autumn Slip had a special place to entertain them.
"Miss Xiaolong, please come in for a chat." Granny Ya stared at Ming Xiaolong.
Lu Siyu was worried and held Ming Xiaolong's hand. "Fourth Sister."
Ming Xiaolong smiled at her. "I'm fine. Go in with them first."
"What about you?"
"I want to talk to him."
Lu Siyu looked down and her eyes lit up. "Right, how could I forget about him? His words are also very infuriating."
"Then I'll go in first to prevent them from speaking ill of you behind your back."
Ming Xiaolong nodded.
On the other side, the girl also went in. She was very easy-going and didn't interfere in other people's disputes, but Ming Xiaolong couldn't care less about her. She took out her pocket watch and contacted Lu Yin.
In the graveyard, Lu Yin was looking at the bookstall in front of him with interest.
Most of the bookstalls had been destroyed by the girls from Death Hill's Third Peak, but there weren't many of them. The disciples of the Spring and Autumn Slip ran with the bookstalls on their backs. As long as they saw a girl from the Third Peak coming over, they would move. It looked ridiculous, but they could still sell words.
Lu Yin had been looking at a bookstall for a long time. The disciple in front of him was impatient. "Are you done or not?
Hurry up, those girls are coming. "
"You're that scared?"
"You're not?
Those are people from Death Hill, those women are vicious and merciless. "
"I'm not scared.
"Bro, you can brag, but don't get in the way of choosing words. Are you buying or not?"
"Yes, this is it."
Lu Yin picked out a character, and just as he picked it up, a leg kicked out from the side and sent the disciple flying. It was someone from the Third Peak of the Death Hillock. The woman's nose had been cut off, and she was very fierce. "Kid, I suspect that you're hiding a criminal in your bookstall. Let me take a look."
The disciple of the Spring and Autumn Booklet was on the verge of tears. How could a bookstall hide someone?
He didn't dare to fight with those from the Third Peak, so he scrambled away. Those from the Third Peak didn't chase after him, and they merely stared at Lu Yin before leaving.
Lu Yin's lips curled up; he had taken a single word for nothing.
Shui Su had been watching from beginning to end. She had clearly seen Lu Yin deliberately wait for the woman from the Third Peak to arrive before taking the scroll. Furthermore, he had been standing at an angle that blocked the woman's path. How despicable!
Lu Yin studied the character in his hand; it contained the power of Ku Jie. In other words, it was one of the characters hidden in the World Summit: "Realm."
The disciples from the Spring and Autumn Booklet sold characters that they had inscribed themselves. They also had power, but that power was determined by each disciple's cultivation. They definitely couldn't reach the level of Ku Jie, but because they also had power that originated from the Spring and Autumn Booklet, no one could tell which characters had the power of Ku Jie and which ones had ordinary power. This was a gamble.
It was a gamble because every single character in the bookstall was expensive. They were all priced according to the power of a Primordial Realm cultivator. Even Sequence Laws powerhouses would have to fork out some blood just to buy a few characters, let alone ordinary cultivators. Many people would only buy one or two characters at most during this summit. This was a gamble. If they lost, they would go bankrupt, but if they won, they would be able to earn thousands or even tens of thousands of times more.
Of course, the disciples themselves might not know which character was real, because every bookstall had characters placed by the higher-ups of the Spring and Autumn Booklet. This was to confuse the public so that those who bought characters wouldn't be able to tell them apart from the disciples who were selling them. Furthermore, the disciples of the Spring and Autumn Booklet all had their eyes closed.
Lu Yin had been able to pick out that character by relying on nothing else but rune lines.
He hadn't used rune lines in a long time. When it came to creating power, rune lines were definitely one of the factors that most people couldn't see.
He spread the rune lines to the bookstall. Whichever word triggered the most rune lines, that word had a problem.
The 'Realm' character had caused the rune lines to surge. Lu Yin could tell with a single glance that the disciple had taken so long because he didn't have the money to buy it. He was waiting for someone from the Third Peak to come and take one for free.
Nostalgia shook.
Lu Yin's nostalgia came from Si Jiushi, and the Ninth Firmament Universe used nostalgia to communicate. It was the second tool that Lu Yin had seen that could communicate across parallel spacetime. The first was the wireless Gu; the others couldn't do it.
Ming Xiaolong's voice rang out, "My brother, Ming Xiaochou, can already break through to the Wanxiang Realm, but because he's in the Spring and Autumn Booklet …"
"Lu Yin, I apologize for my previous attitude toward you. I apologize for my impoliteness, and I apologize for my willfulness. I don't know if you have a way to save my brother, but I hope that you can help me. This is not a condition, but a request."
"Regardless of whether you can do it or not, I will consider you to have fulfilled the conditions."
Lu Yin put away the nostalgia and looked up. He didn't know what had happened to cause Ming Xiaolong's attitude to change so drastically.
"This Spring and Autumn Slip really does a lot of things."
Shui Su looked at the 'Realm' character in Lu Yin's hand and said, "The Spring and Autumn Slip does a lot of things. In the cultivation world, there are four words that describe the Spring and Autumn Slip." She looked around carefully and whispered, "It uses words to create chaos in the world."
"The Spring and Autumn Slip can do a lot of things through those words, and it can also have a lot of reasons. For example, the word 'evil' can approach someone and attack them without a reason. Many people believe it."
"For example, the word 'good' can make a person gain both fame and fortune."
"The word 'pass' can obstruct a group of people and allow another group of people to pass. In short, too many people hate the Spring and Autumn Slip, but they can't do anything about it."
Lu Yin smiled. "Can't do anything about it?
Alright, then let's play with it. "He walked toward a bookstall.
"I want to buy a character."
The stall owner was a middle-aged man who was clearly not doing well in the Spring and Autumn Slip. He was dressed rather shabbily, and when he heard that Lu Yin wanted to buy a character, he looked around warily and opened the stall. "Which one do you want?
Hurry up. "
There were hundreds of characters on the stall, and it was a dazzling sight.
Lu Yin spread out the rune lines, but there was nothing. "I don't want it."
The middle-aged man had no choice but to put away the stall and run away. He noticed that the crazy women from the Death Hillock were looking at him.
Lu Yin found the next stall. "I want to buy a character."
"I don't want it."
"You said you don't want it when you saw it? Are you messing with me?"
"I'll buy it if I want to, and I won't buy it if I don't want to. Why? Am I not allowed to?" Lu Yin retorted.
The disciple glared at Lu Yin fiercely. "Kid, where are you from?
Tell me your name. "
"Elysium's Luo family, Luo Feitian," Lu Yin said bluntly.
The disciple raised his brows. "Elysium's Luo family?
No wonder you dared to cause trouble. "
Lu Yin arrogantly turned around and went to the next stall.
Shui Su innocently followed behind him, not understanding what Lu Yin was doing.
At the same time, not far away, a few people looked at Lu Yin strangely. They were from Elysium's Luo family. Luo Feitian?
Who was that?
What a domineering name. Did the Luo family have such a person?
They followed him.
"What are you doing?" Shui Su was puzzled.
Lu Yin replied, "Looking for characters."
"So fast?
How do you know they don't have any? "
"Intuition."
Shui Su was speechless. She knew that something big was about to happen and wanted to escape.
Lu Yin was naturally looking for characters. He couldn't spread out his rune lines, or else he would definitely be detected by an expert. He could only spread them out at a single stall. The disciples selling the Spring and Autumn Booklet would not be able to detect him no matter what.
The disciples who were selling the Spring and Autumn Booklet were constantly hiding from the girls from Death Hillock's Third Peak. It was like they were playing hide-and-seek. Lu Yin searched from stall to stall, releasing each time he found a character. It was as if he was toying with the disciples. Gradually, his movements attracted the attention of many people. They all looked at him, not understanding what he was doing.
The people from the Luo family looked at each other and confirmed that this person had nothing to do with the Luo family. However, he still carried the Luo family's name.
When they thought of this, the elder from the Luo family walked over to Lu Yin, demanding an explanation. Whose child was so immature to be so careless?
However, someone else took a step forward and arrived behind Lu Yin. "Little brother, what you're doing is a little unkind."
Lu Yin ignored him and looked at the bookstall. He had an idea! It was the character for "Absolute," which caused the rune lines to surge. It was definitely the power of Ku Jie.
The stall owner was a man with a mustache, and he stared at Lu Yin.
Lu Yin looked up and was about to speak when someone behind him patted his shoulder.
Lu Yin's gaze turned cold, but he did not dodge. He allowed the hand to fall and slowly turned around. He saw a middle-aged man with a cold expression. His eyes were filled with killing intent as he stared at Lu Yin. "Where are you from, little brother?
It's not good to play with disciples of the Spring and Autumn Booklet like this. "
Shui Su was nervous. Trouble was coming.
Lu Yin looked at the newcomer. "Who are you?" This person had a cultivation at the level of a Sequence Law Realm cultivator and was not weak.
The middle-aged man snorted. "I'm the head of the Linlu family."
The mustached man in front of Lu Yin was shocked. "The Linlu family?
I see. I'm Bei Xing, a disciple of the Spring and Autumn Booklet. Greetings, senior. "
The middle-aged man nodded, and his gaze landed on Lu Yin. "Little brother, you've looked at one bookstall after another, but you only took one look at each one. However, those bookstalls were discovered by the people from Death Hill's Third Peak, which caused many disciples of the Spring and Autumn Booklet to suffer. Isn't this a little unethical?"
The crowd started discussing. "It's said that the Linlu family has received the favor of the Spring and Autumn Booklet and has always wanted to rely on it."
"That's normal. The Linlu family is just a small family, but the Spring and Autumn Booklet is a huge entity. Who wouldn't want to rely on it? The head of the Linlu family has appeared at the right time. Look, many people want to stand up for the disciples of the Spring and Autumn Booklet. They can't afford to offend Death Hill, but can they not afford to offend this kid?"
"Not necessarily. This person dares to play with the Spring and Autumn Booklet. His background might not be simple."
"I heard his name is Luo Feitian."
"Luo Feitian?
What a domineering name. Wait, is he from the Luo family? "
"Seems like it."
"No wonder he dared to provoke the Spring and Autumn Booklet …"
