Green Lin Yuan was bustling with activity today.
The main hall was already packed with hundreds of people, all gathered around a huge platform that was sunken in the middle like a basin.
This basin-shaped platform is the tipping platform.
Above the tipping platform, there is a suspended platform extending from the second floor.
It looks just like a diving platform.
This hanging platform, however, is carved in the shape of a peony flower, hence it is called a flower platform.
The women who then compete for the title of courtesan will perform on this flower platform.
"After the courtesan's performance, the audience will give tips, and the person who gives the most tips will be this year's courtesan." At this moment, Ling Yi was right next to the tipping platform.
Qin Changming was explaining the detailed process to Ling Yi.
"Those who were able to enter Green Lin Yuan today are all of extraordinary status; many of them are members of the royal family."
"When you act later, be extremely careful, especially with the things I've instructed you to do; you must not let anyone discover them."
"Don't worry, Brother Qin, I will do my best," Ling Yi assured him.
"I will hide the powder in my palm, and when I'm ready, I can just apply it without anyone noticing."
Qin Changming nodded in satisfaction.
They were very satisfied with Ling Yi's performance.
Loyalty is controllable, and he has some brains; he's not a complete idiot or a moron. He's usable.
The premise is that this Ling Yi is consistent inside and out. If he is also someone who harbors many secrets, then naturally he cannot be allowed to live after this.
This task assigned to Ling Yi can be considered a test.
If Ling Yi can successfully complete the mission this time, then we can try to train him in the future.
He paused slightly, then said, "If this matter succeeds, I can pass on to you a method of internal energy cultivation."
"As for whether you can master it, that depends on your aptitude and talent."
"Really? Thank you so much, Brother Qin!" Ling Yi exclaimed excitedly.
"Haha, of course it's true." Qin Changming patted Ling Yi on the shoulder.
"I'm leaving now. You'll have to figure things out on your own from here on out, but don't let your brother down."
"Don't worry, Brother Qin, I will live up to your expectations." Ling Yi bowed deeply with utmost sincerity.
Qin Changming was increasingly satisfied with Ling Yi's attitude, and patted Ling Yi on the shoulder, saying, "There are outsiders here, so use official titles!"
"Yes, Captain Qin!"
Qin Changming nodded, his body hunched over, and slowly walked away with a pigeon-toed gait.
Ling Yi narrowed his eyes as he watched Qin Changming's the Back.
He took two steps back, managing to hide himself in a corner.
In less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the first round of the courtesan competition, namely the poetry contest, will begin.
However, Ling Yi doesn't care about that right now.
He now needs to prevent Lü Yuan from becoming the most beautiful courtesan.
If Lü Yuan wins the title of Flower Queen, it will surely ruin Qin Changming's plans.
If the investigation continues, I will inevitably be implicated.
Even though we don't know what Qin Changming is planning, there's definitely more to it than meets the eye.
Having ruined his own plans, and regardless of who was behind them, would Qin Changming let him off the hook?
However, there wasn't a good way to stop Lü Yuan at that moment.
Although Qin Changming had left, Ling Yi could clearly Perception that several Aura were still locked onto him.
This made Ling Yi dare not leave, let alone go looking for Lü Yuan.
Ling Yi could tell from Qin Changming's words.
This courtesan competition is probably not as simple as it seems.
For a mere Bureau of Entertainment to have royal influence involved, Ling Yi would never believe there wasn't something fishy going on.
The scheme Qin Changming is plotting likely involves a significant number of powerful figures behind it.
However, Ling Yi didn't have many sources of information and couldn't make any judgments.
Ultimately, it comes down to my own weakness and lack of resources.
Ling Yi urgently needs to become stronger.
Ling Yi raised two fingers and wiped them in front of his eyes.
The world before my eyes Changes considerably in the next moment.
Everyone within sight now has an extra tag above their head.
[ Zhang San, ordinary person, talent: none!]
[ Li Si, Body Tempering First Layer, Talent: None!]
[ Wang Wu, Body Tempering Third Layer, Talent: None!]
Most people are ordinary people or martial Martial Practitioner at the Body Tempering Realm; those with talent are extremely rare.
Body Tempering Martial Practitioner is a general term for martial artists who do not reach the rank of Martial Practitioner.
However, this does not mean that Body Tempering Realm Martial Practitioner is necessarily weaker than an Entry-Level Martial Practitioner.
Body Tempering is divided into nine levels, with the first level being the lowest and the ninth level being the highest.
However, very few people can reach the Body Tempering Ninth Layer.
For most people, reaching the Body Tempering Third Layer is already their Limit.
To continue improving, a large amount of medicinal herbs are needed, which is not something ordinary people can afford.
It is said that at the Body Tempering Fourth Layer, the initial stage, which is equivalent to Ninth Pin Martial Practitioner, one's defenses are already impenetrable.
The Body Tempering Seventh Layer is comparable to Master; the Body Tempering Ninth Layer is comparable to Grandmaster.
[ Ning Changyun, Body Tempering Third Layer, Talent: Immunity to All Poisons (Can Copy for 100 taels of silver)!]
Soon, Ling Yi spotted the first target with Copy Talent.
Moreover, it is one of the talents that Ling Yi urgently needs right now.
Qin Changming seemed to trust himself, but as the Old Liu, how could he possibly trust someone based on just a few words and expressions?
There must be other methods, and poison is undoubtedly the most likely one.
Silently Copy "copy" in your mind.
Instantly, one of the hundred-tael silver notes in Ling Yi's arms disappeared.
The next moment, Ling Yi felt a burning sensation in his lower abdomen, but the sensation disappeared within a few breaths.
This has never happened before when Copy Talent.
Once the talent Copy, it becomes like an instinct, as if it were something you've had since childhood.
What is this burning sensation in my lower abdomen?
It's poison!
Clearly, Qin Changming had already poisoned himself.
Now that I have the talent of Immunity to All Poisons, I was just automatically clearing out the toxins.
As the burning sensation in his lower abdomen disappeared, Ling Yi could clearly feel that his body felt much lighter.
"This Immunity to All Poisons physique was indeed Copy."
"With this talent, my safety will be greatly improved in the future."
"But that's not enough."
Ling Yi's eyes, hidden in the shadows, gazed at the crowd with longing.
A moment later, Ling Yi's eyes lit up as he spotted two extremely eye-catching special entries in the crowd.
[ Wu Chengtian, Innate Fifth Pin, Talent: Dragon Vein Divine Body (Can Copy for 200 taels of silver)]
[ Wu Chengyun, Body Tempering Sixth Layer, Talent: Dream System (can Copy for 4000 taels of silver)]
" Wu Chengtian, Wu Chengyun, aren't those the names of the Second Prince and the deposed Crown Prince?"
Wu Chengyun was sitting at a table in the southwest corner of the hall, embracing a beautiful woman and drinking.
He was dressed in a magnificent robe, his shirt half-open, and was pouring wine from a wine jug into his mouth.
The wine spilled onto his clothes, soaking a large area.
But Wu Chengyun didn't care at all.
He appeared to be half-drunk.
However, how could ordinary wine so easily intoxicate a powerhouse at the Body Tempering Sixth Layer?
This deposed crown prince is clearly faking it; he's a master of the art of survival.
Wu Chengtian was in the northeast corner of the hall, where a wall of people had created a separate area for him.
He was surrounded by Martial Practitioner of the first rank.
Each of them was burly and imposing, exuding a chilling Aura.
Wu Chengtian was sitting in a chair, waving a folding fan in his hand.
Wu Chengtian was dressed in a plain white robe and wore a silver mask, revealing only his mouth.
This is an intentional attempt to conceal one's appearance and avoid revealing their identity.
Beside Wu Chengtian, Ling Yi also spotted a figure that surprised him greatly.
[ Qin Changming, Third Pin Martial Practitioner, Talents: Hawkeye (Cooldown), Perception (Cooldown)]
At this moment, Qin Changming's figure was not hunched over at all; on the contrary, he was very tall and strong.
However, at this moment he was dressed in black and wearing a black mask.
He bowed beside Wu Chengtian, seemingly reporting something.
Wu Chengtian nodded in response from time to time.
If Ling Yi didn't have a cheat-like ability, there would be no way he could connect this person with Qin Changming.
The two are simply too different in size.
They're all Old Liu!
Without a doubt, the competition for the top courtesan in the Bureau of Entertainment is a very complex affair.
"Who would have thought that this deposed crown prince's talent was actually a system? Could this guy be a transmigrator?"
