Black and White Domain, Azure Wave Continent, World-Saving Pavilion.
The World-Saving Pavilion is the most mysterious existence on the Azure Wave Continent. The world only knows that anyone who enters the World-Saving Pavilion, even if they have only one breath left, can walk out completely unharmed...
However!
The World-Saving Pavilion has three major conditions for saving people.
One, they do not save those who are wicked and unforgivable.
Two, those who are saved must obey for ten years.
Three, they do not save people if the Pavilion Master is in a bad mood.
It can be said that the people saved by the World-Saving Pavilion include both wealthy gentry and powerful overlords.
In an elegant courtyard, Qin Jishi sat cross-legged, concentrating and meditating as he cultivated. Four Primordial Azure Dragons coiled behind him, Profound Energy surging towards him.
With every breath, the surrounding air stopped flowing, and a powerful aura formed a vacuum around Qin Jishi.
Hoo!!
After a long while!
Qin Jishi opened his eyes, exhaled a breath of turbid air, and slowly stood up.
"It's been three years since the old man left. He said he'd leave something for me when I turned eighteen. Today is my eighteenth birthday, so let me see what the old man left for me..."
As he spoke, Qin Jishi prepared to walk out.
"Young Pavilion Master, Young Pavilion Master, Yang Kun's ten-year term is up, and he's still lingering in our World-Saving Pavilion, saying he has something to tell you, Young Pavilion Master."
A disciple quickly arrived.
Hearing this!!
Qin Jishi said calmly, "Pass on my message, tell him to scram quickly. Don't make me cripple his cultivation and have him thrown out of the World-Saving Pavilion."
"As you command!" The disciple heard this and quickly left.
If anyone heard this at this moment, they would be extremely shocked.
Who was Yang Kun?
He was the patriarch of the Yang Family, one of the three major powers in Soaring Dragon City, and held a certain status.
"Young Pavilion Master..." Just as Qin Jishi took a step, preparing to continue walking, another disciple quickly arrived. "The Black Eagle Prefecture Lord from the Azure Wave Imperial Capital requests an audience. He wishes to implore you, Pavilion Master, to save his son's life..."
The Black Eagle Prefecture Lord?
Qin Jishi frowned, then relaxed. "The Black Eagle Prefecture holds some status in the Azure Wave Imperial Capital, and they are not a wicked and unforgivable force."
"Understood!"
"Pass on my words, tell him to prepare a million Profound Crystals and leave his son at the World-Saving Residence..."
Upon hearing this, the disciple took his orders and left.
The Black Eagle Prefecture!!
It held absolute status in the Azure Wave Imperial Capital. The reason Qin Jishi agreed, besides them not being wicked and unforgivable, was that he was in a good mood right now.
Turning eighteen and coming of age was a rare occasion.
After the disciple left, Qin Jishi took another step.
"Young Pavilion Master... Feng from Nether City..."
"Scram!"
Before the disciple in the distance could even arrive, Qin Jishi became impatient.
"Alrighty~" The disciple stopped in his tracks, then turned and left.
Qin Jishi was already impatient, and this disciple didn't want to incur his wrath at this moment.
"So annoying, my good mood is ruined."
"Hmph!"
"I really don't know what the old man was thinking, insisting that I couldn't leave until I turned eighteen."
"Annoying!"
Qin Jishi muttered to himself, and then walked out of the courtyard.
Leaving the courtyard, Qin Jishi did not head to the place where the old man used to live, but instead walked towards the Healing Hall.
Upon entering the Healing Hall, a middle-aged man had been waiting for a long time.
This middle-aged man was the Black Eagle Prefecture Lord.
"Young Pavilion Master... my son..." As soon as Qin Jishi entered, the Black Eagle Prefecture Lord immediately stepped forward.
"I am already aware. Do you understand my rules?" Qin Jishi raised his hand slightly, then looked at the young man on the bed without speaking.
"Of course!" The Black Eagle Prefecture Lord nodded. "Besides the other rules, the most important one is that you must not reveal anything about the World-Saving Pavilion, especially anything about you, Young Pavilion Master..."
"Mm!" Qin Jishi was very satisfied with the Black Eagle Prefecture Lord's answer.
The young man lying on the bed had a pained expression, his face darkened.
"Soul Devouring Gu!"
With just one glance, Qin Jishi understood everything. "Black Eagle Prefecture Lord, it seems the Myriad Poisons Lair has signs of resurgence lately."
As he spoke, Qin Jishi joined his index and middle fingers, and a golden energy entered the young man's body.
In the past three years, this was the third time Qin Jishi had seen the Soul Devouring Gu...
"Young Pavilion Master, you are correct. Since the Myriad Poisons were eradicated twenty years ago, their presence has reappeared across the Azure Wave Continent. The Azure Wave Imperial Capital also takes this matter very seriously, but all investigations have yielded no results."
As soon as the Black Eagle Prefecture Lord finished speaking, Qin Jishi had already withdrawn his fingers.
At the same time, the young man on the bed's complexion returned to normal.
"Alright, the Soul Devouring Gu has been removed. After a few days of rest, he will fully recover..."
Gasp!
The Black Eagle Prefecture Lord was taken aback.
While they were talking, the Soul Devouring Gu was resolved?
He knew that the Soul Devouring Gu was something even he couldn't deal with, yet it was so easily resolved by this person.
What level had his strength reached?
Could he be related to the Holy Domain Qin Family?
As the Black Eagle Prefecture Lord was secretly speculating, Qin Jishi's voice sounded again.
"Black Eagle Prefecture Lord, since the Myriad Poisons Lair targeted your son, they must have been secretly watching your Black Eagle Prefecture. You must be careful in your actions from now on."
"Qingfeng, see the guest out..."
Just as the Black Eagle Prefecture Lord was about to express his gratitude, Qin Jishi had already issued the order to leave.
The Black Eagle Prefecture Lord: "..."
Exiting the Healing Hall, Qin Jishi turned and headed towards the Forbidden Ground.
On the way!
"Young Pavilion Master, I'd like to discuss something with you. Could you allow my son to work as a handyman at our World-Saving Pavilion? If you agree, my Wang Family will give you half of our resources," said Wang Mang, who monopolized the weapon industry in Wuji City.
"Young Pavilion Master, my ten-year term is up next month. Can I stay at the World-Saving Pavilion for a few more years? These flowers and plants here need me to prune them." The Pill Pavilion Master of Linjiang City, who had always been proud, fawned over Qin Jishi.
"..."
Anyone who could stay at the World-Saving Pavilion, even a mere sweeper, was a renowned figure once their name was released.
These beings, who were usually aloof, were now all respectful in front of Qin Jishi.
"Heh heh!" Qin Jishi had heard these requests so many times that his ears had grown calluses. He chuckled softly, "Rules are rules, and no one can break them, unless I'm in a good mood..."
"The Young Pavilion Master is right... absolutely right..." Upon hearing this, they all agreed.
"Um, Young Pavilion Master, are you in a good mood today?"
"..."
"I!" Just as Qin Jishi was about to respond.
"Young Pavilion Master..." At this moment, a disciple rushed over in a hurry.
Looking at the flustered disciple, Qin Jishi frowned, displeased. "What is so urgent... Is someone causing trouble?"
"Young Pavilion Master... you actually guessed right, someone is causing trouble at our World-Saving Pavilion."
Qin Jishi: "..."
He had just said it casually, never expecting it to be true.
This piqued Qin Jishi's interest. In his memory, ever since the World-Saving Pavilion was established, such an incident had never occurred. He was curious to see who this person was.
