New Trait

"Brush."

In mid-air, ripples appeared in the void.

Qin Jiuxiao felt as if an invisible hand was pulling him and throwing him somewhere.

The feeling of power that had almost shattered his body vanished in an instant.

Along with it disappeared the terrifying Spear Intent that had almost shattered his divine sense.

The gap between realms is so vast that there is absolutely no possibility of resistance.

Call.

Qin Jiuxiao couldn't help but take a deep breath.

Fortunately, I managed to escape so far.

At least, it should be safe now.

Although the danger was temporarily averted, the physical pain and the impact on his spiritual sense still caused him unbearable suffering.

That high-grade armor was almost destroyed by the attack just now.

Right now, the most important thing is to find a place where I can settle down safely.

Brush.

The idea had just appeared.

Suddenly, a loud whooshing sound was heard.

Along with it came a shadow that almost blotted out the sky.

Qin Jiuxiao was startled.

I didn't even have time to see what it was.

Suddenly, it felt like another small mountain had crashed into me.

They have been hit by such an impact one after another.

Qin Jiuxiao was immediately knocked unconscious by the force.

"Um?"

On the flying boat, Lu Changzhi looked surprised.

Immediately afterwards, he waved his arm, and the Devil-Binding Rope flew out, turning into a golden light that flew towards the figure that was flying out in an arc.

At this point, Lu Changzhi was still somewhat confused.

"Where did this person come from out of nowhere?"

At that moment, Lu Changzhi got up and walked outside.

Gu Chen and Mu Fan clearly sensed the commotion and came out of the house.

What happened?

Gu Chen looked over.

At this moment, the Devil-Binding Rope flew back onto the flying boat.

Along with the bound figure.

An eerie silence fell upon the airship when the figure's face was clearly seen.

"This is... Qin Jiuxiao from the Holy Land?"

Gu Chen turned to look at Lu Changzhi, and said uncertainly:

"Master, did you bring him here tied up?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Changzhi paused for a moment, then said, "Would you believe me if I told you he ran into it himself?"

Gu Chen's lips twitched, and he didn't know what to say for a moment.

Lu Changzhi looked at Qin Jiuxiao.

At this moment, Qin Jiuxiao should have fainted.

But why did this guy suddenly appear here?

Judging from the situation, it's clear that this couldn't have been caused by simply ramming the flying boat.

He must have just been in some kind of major battle, otherwise he wouldn't have been so badly injured that he died.

At this moment, Lu Changzhi had only one question in his mind:

"Was this really Luo Zhen's doing?"

Suddenly, a system notification popped up.

"Qin Jiuxiao was ambushed by powerful Dongfang Clan and severely injured, falling unconscious. What do you choose?"

"First: Release it, accumulating merit and doing good deeds. [Reward: Saint Rank High Grade - Merit-Accumulating Mallet *1]"

"Second, beat him while he's down and kill him. [Reward: Saint Rank High Grade Corpse-Annihilating Water *1]"

"Third, act as a benefactor once more. [Reward: Trait - Qin Jiuxiao's Benefactor]"

[Merit-Accumulating Mallet]: Saint Rank High Grade. Used to accumulate merit, it can also be used for self-defense. Once activated, it will continuously attempt to strike the opponent's forehead, causing them to emit the sound of merit. It can also spread the sound of a wooden fish drum to influence the opponent...

[Corpse-Annihilating Water]: Saint Rank High Grade. An essential item for travel. When used on corpses, it rapidly decomposes and annihilates them without leaving a trace. When used on living people, if no other means are available, it can quickly turn them into corpses, facilitating the next step...

[Qin Jiuxiao's Benefactor]: Targeted characteristics. Practice makes perfect; doing good deeds always brings benefits. Becoming Qin Jiuxiao's Benefactor grants you half of his fortune and allows you to foresee his opportunities. As the saying goes, be a benefactor to the end, lest he be burdened or endangered by these opportunities...

After reading the description of the reward, Lu Changzhi's expression turned strange.

Unexpectedly, this time the system's selection process revealed a unique characteristic.

This had never happened before.

However, it seems to be targeting only Qin Jiuxiao.

They shared Qin Jiuxiao's fortune and learned about his opportunities.

"In that case..."

Lu Changzhi's gaze lingered on Qin Jiuxiao for a moment.

This is something worth considering.

They killed him directly, only Corpse-Annihilating Water.

Keeping them alive offers more luck and opportunity, and the benefits are clearly greater.

At this moment, an elder descended from the flying boat in the void.

"Peak Master Lu."

The elder bowed, looked at Qin Jiuxiao, and said:

"This person cannot stay on the airship for long."

After he finished speaking, he added:

"His sudden appearance just now suggests he escaped using spatial techniques."

"Judging from his condition, he must have been in the midst of a fierce battle, and his opponent is likely to have found him by following his scent."

As he spoke, the elder took out an array plate and threw it towards the spot where the plane had just flown.

Brush.

The array plate glowed, and countless light gray substances drifted out, clearing away any remaining traces of energy.

Lu Changzhi nodded.

The next moment, the airship began to descend.

He made his choice.

Killing or releasing them would be of little value.

Luck is something you can never have too much of.

"What does Peak Master Lu intend to do?"

The elder looked over as he sensed the airship landing.

Lu Changzhi smiled upon hearing this and said:

"Given his status, it is not appropriate for him to die in the Eastern Region."

Upon hearing this, the elder gave Lu Changzhi a deep look.

No wonder he can become the peak master; he has a long-term vision.

At this moment, Lu Changzhi walked towards Qin Jiuxiao.

With a swift grasp, Qin Jiuxiao's storage ring appeared in Lu Changzhi's hand.

As he probed into the matter, a smile immediately appeared on Lu Changzhi's lips.

Both the Divine Sound Lotus Pool and the Flower Spirit Qin are present.

In addition, there are many resources for spiritual practice and methods for self-preservation.

"Good."

Lu Changzhi nodded in satisfaction.

After going around in circles, it unexpectedly ended up in my hands.

Seeing this, the elder's eyes showed even more appreciation.

Then, he stepped forward.

A light shone from his hands, completely covering both palms.

Then, he expertly began searching Qin Jiuxiao's body.

A short while later, they took out some other small, miscellaneous items.

"Peak Master Lu, here you go."

The elder handed the items to Lu Changzhi, and then carefully cleared his aura.

"There's even a storage ring?"

Lu Changzhi was somewhat surprised.

My mind immediately probed into it.

Immediately afterwards, his expression turned strange.

These things...

Hiss--

Qin Jiuxiao, he's playing some pretty fancy tricks!

At this moment, the airship approached the ground.

Lu Changzhi thought for a moment, then used his spiritual power to wrap a healing pill and put it into Qin Jiuxiao's mouth.

Once the spiritual energy dissipates, the healing medicine will take effect.

Then, he stepped off the flying boat and used his spiritual power to dig a pit several meters deep for Qin Jiuxiao, and placed him inside.

The elder clearly understood Lu Changzhi's plan. He took out a cloak, activated it with spirit stones, and covered Qin Jiuxiao with it.

With the elders' help, the whole process went very smoothly.

Finally, properly cover the soil, level the ground, allow the topsoil to dry, and remove any odors...

Unless you search carefully, a cursory investigation is enough to bypass it.

After doing all this, the two returned to the airship and left the place.
