All in One Go: I Want Both the Fortuitous Opportunities and the Spectacle
Three paths?!
Upon hearing the system's notification, Lu Changzhi couldn't help but be taken aback.
It's not about the steamed bun, it's about pride; Jiuxiao really lived up to expectations this time!
They either don't come at all, or they come at once—three of them!
To show his admiration, Lu Changzhi sat up a little straighter.
"Check."
As the sound faded, a flash of light appeared.
[Qin Jiuxiao's Fortuitous Encounter with the Black Freak]
[Opportunity Information 1]: Seven hours and three quarters of an hour later, while meditating in the Zither Sound Valley, and reflecting on past experiences, a seed of murderous intent gradually formed, adding a possible path for future growth. Benefiting from this shift in thought, his strength was enhanced to a certain extent...
[Second Opportunity]: Seven hours and four quarters later, in the Zither Sound Valley, he found Liu Qingyan, whom he harbored deep resentment towards. He decisively took action, paying a certain price to stop Qin Han's attack, severely injuring Liu Qingyan. He then personally crushed Liu Qingyan's heart, relieving his pent-up hatred, and his nascent killing intent further grew...
[Opportunity Information Three]: Three days, five hours, and five quarters later, while being pursued, he hid in Crescent Lake. At the bottom of the lake, he found a Memento Jade, from which he learned about the accident that happened in the Trial Realm years ago. This information allowed him to prepare for future crises, enabling him to exploit others' misfortunes and gain great glory and treasures during the subsequent crisis in the Trial Realm.
I reviewed all three pieces of information regarding the opportunities.
Lu Changzhi raised an eyebrow slightly.
"These opportunities are quite interconnected."
Especially the first two opportunities, which were only a quarter of an hour apart.
In other words, he had just condensed the seed of killing intent a moment ago, and the next moment he went to kill Liu Qingyan.
As for the so-called murderous seedling, after a little thought, I roughly understood the situation.
For the vast majority of ordinary people, this seed of murderous intent born from hatred is not a good thing, and to some extent it can even be classified as demonic possession.
While such murderous intent may be beneficial for increasing strength and cultivation efficiency, if left unchecked, it could easily slip out of one's control and bring about negative consequences.
However, this might not be a good thing for ordinary people, but it is clearly not the case for Qin Jiuxiao.
"As expected, this should be the effect of the corruption."
Lu Changzhi said softly, not dwelling on the matter any further.
Strictly speaking, the first two can both be classified as opportunities for enlightenment. I can only look at this type of opportunity now, except for the one with Qin Han, which was a special case.
In comparison, it was the third piece of information about the opportunity that piqued his curiosity even more.
Of course, it wasn't out of curiosity about who was hunting Qin Jiuxiao, but rather the crisis mentioned later:
"Since you've put it that way, then there must be one. But what exactly is this so-called crisis in the secret realm that will be here soon?"
Lu Changzhi murmured softly.
Moreover, judging from Qin Jiuxiao's gains mentioned above, it was clearly no small matter.
"It seems I'll have to make a trip to Crescent Lake."
Since it's a crisis affecting the entire secret realm, it certainly cannot be ignored.
After all, there were still a group of disciples, elders, and ancestors of the Five Symbols Sect here.
It is better to be prepared than to be careless. Even with Ancestor Jiang and others stationed here, we still cannot be careless.
Even before entering, he had a suspicion that this place was likely an ancient ruin; otherwise, there wouldn't have been so many skeletons and storage rings left behind.
Once inside, the environment feels more like a place specifically for trials and the distribution of corresponding rewards.
As for why so many storage rings remain, and even some cities that were first entered, it is clear now that this place was not once used as a training ground by the powerful and arrogant force that once did so.
Judging from the information about Qin Jiuxiao's fortuitous encounter, it was probably due to an accident.
Furthermore, the person in charge of overseeing this secret realm who held the Privilege Token likely perished here, leaving the Privilege Token behind within the realm.
A force that can easily place Saint Artifact in secret realms as rewards must have a powerful person in charge of overseeing them.
Just then, Lu Changzhi suddenly had an idea, stopped thinking, and spoke up:
"System, tell me what the impending crisis is."
Instead of trying to figure it out yourself, it's better to provide a systematic answer.
I must have been too busy these past few days; I almost forgot about the system.
Upon hearing this, the system spoke up:
"Reporting to the master, an explanation for this crisis needs to be based on the Memento Jade."
"Therefore," Lu Changzhi pondered for a moment, and said:
"You still can't explain it?"
The system remained silent for a moment, then said:
"Master, the system is trying to find a solution."
After a short wait, the system voice sounded again:
"A solution has been devised and is being implemented."
"Hmm?" Lu Changzhi looked somewhat surprised.
The system really took the initiative this time.
I didn't ask for anything; the system did it on its own.
"System, you're not planning to go get the Memento Jade yourself, are you?"
Lu Changzhi asked a question.
Immediately afterwards, he learned the answer:
"Reporting to Master, I have instructed my subordinates to issue the tasks."
Lu Changzhi was at a loss for words, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
I overestimated how diligent the system was.
"However, it seems not bad either?" Lu Changzhi's eyebrows twitched slightly.
Go get it yourself; only the Memento Jade is available.
But having disciples do tasks is different. Although it's a bit more troublesome, they get two extra task rewards in the long run.
Um.
It's really good!
Without dwelling on it, Lu Changzhi withdrew his attention.
Let's finish things up at Zither Sound Valley first, and then we can witness Qin Jiuxiao's growth firsthand.
It's better to arrive at the right time than to arrive at the right moment. Since we're all in Zither Sound Valley, let's go all the way and seize the opportunity and excitement.
In the Zither Sound Valley.
"Dude, are you sure you can really take us to the closest spot to Jiang Xin?"
"Let me tell you, if you dare to lie to us, the consequences will be very serious."
"Stop dawdling! It's been so long, there are quite a few of us already, hurry up!"
A group of about a dozen people were gathered together discussing something.
Qin Han was one of them. He didn't speak at this moment, but just waited Jingjing.
Earlier, when he was trying to find a solution, someone asked him for help. He claimed to have special channels to take them to the location closest to Jiang Xin, which was also the best location in Zither Sound Valley.
He was skeptical, but based on past experience, he thought it might just be luck.
Although the resources and prestige required are considerable, if the other party is not lying, it's worth a try.
Urged on by the crowd, the two leaders finally set off.
Then, the two walked ahead, greeting the people in charge who passed by, and continued on their way.
In everyone's hearts, more or less, they began to believe it.
Zither Sound Valley is indeed free, but that only applies to the more peripheral areas. Better locations still require payment, and the more desirable the location, the more expensive it will be.
Given the current situation, it seems that what the two said about having a relationship is indeed true.
"This is truly a stroke of luck!"
Offering a pillow when you're sleepy, providing a shortcut when you want to get closer.
Not to mention Hua Yunfan, even Qin Han was somewhat amazed at his good fortune.
As long as we get a chance to get close to Jiang Xin, and devise some countermeasures based on the situation in Zither Sound Valley, proceeding step by step, everything that happens is within our expectations!
Just then, the group of people walking suddenly stopped.
