In Shiyu City, in the Li Family Auction House, Shuang Yue, who was dressed in white, was sitting quietly behind the desk with her eyes closed and meditating, "You mean, the human soul cultivation method mastered by Qin Fangyang was not obtained from Yao Wang and Kuang Gui Dou.

?”

"Yes, the cultivation method used by Qin Fangyang is obviously better than the two of them. Kuang Gui Dou was already insane due to the influence of human souls. But when I saw Qin Fangyang in Qinmen, the other party still had complete self-will and could take the initiative

Suppressing the human soul had an impact on him, so the method he practiced must be an improved human soul cultivation method."

Qin Long, who was on the other side of the table, told Shuang Yue roughly what had happened. Killing Qin Fangyang was a personal vendetta, and there was no need to report to Shuang Yue, but it was about human souls and could not be neglected.

Qin Long did not tell the other party about Qin Yan. Although Qin Yan showed him the method of using source fire to purify human souls, Qin Long knew that this matter had nothing to do with Qin Fangyang's use of human souls.

Furthermore, seizing someone's body is a taboo in the world of cultivation. If Shuangyue knew that there were other people's souls in his body, it would most likely arouse the other party's suspicion or even surveillance. This was not the result Qin Long wanted.

Moreover, seizing a body cannot be used by anyone who wants to use it. The soul is not solid enough, and seizing a body also carries the risk of sudden death. However, Qin Yan found a new way to find a safe way that allows low-level monks to seize a body. If the technique is used

If others find out, it will definitely attract a lot of attention

If you want to compete with those who compete for it, the entire world of cultivation may become your enemy. The life of a monk is limited, and who doesn’t want to live forever? Qin Yan’s body seizing technique is undoubtedly another safe way to immortality.

This secret must be kept in your heart.

"The Qin sect and the surrounding sects are very average. If you didn't get the evil human soul method from the King of Medicine, where did you find it?"

Shuangyue said to herself, ever since Qin Fangyang took over as the sect leader, the status of the Qin sect has been very embarrassing. This kind of unworthy sect leader has caused all the monks in the sect to leave, and they can only spend money to buy thugs to protect the door, but Shuangyue now knows

It wasn't that the disciples left, but that Qin Fangyang killed them all to refine their souls.

Qin Long shook his head, "I have a guess. Shiyu City just exposed a medicine king because of the human soul, and Shadow and Qin Fangyang appeared. Could this series of human soul incidents be a premeditated plan?"

Zi Shiran's escape made Qin Long wary all the time. Taking away the assembly line stove was a small matter. Once the false news that he was an innate Taoist was exposed, he would face the pursuit of the Ziyue family.

Although he nominally joined the Shadow Killing Sect, Ling Eleven would not sit idly by if he was hunted down, but Qin Long has not yet practiced the Shadow Transformation Art, and has never met Ling Eleven, even if he is killed by the Ziyue Family

Even if he is captured, the other party will not know that he is one of their own.

That's why he planned to draw Shuangyue's attention to the Xinhen Empire and use the other party's intelligence network to help him investigate the movements of the Ziyue Family.

"Do you think it's the Xinhen Empire's fault?" Shuangyue is a smart man. Qin Long just pointed out a doubtful point and the other party guessed what he wanted to express.

"Yes, Zi Shiran's appearance is full of doubts. Our relationship with the Xinhen Empire is not good. Why did they suddenly send him here? Moreover, the time chosen happened to be a key point in the reconstruction of Shiyu City just after the death of King Yao.

"

"And during the period when Zi Shiran was active in Shiyu City, the shadow spread the news about the lone demon wolf. Qin Fangyang began to build formations and recruit monks during that time. There was only one suspicious thing, maybe it was a coincidence, but

Everything about the human soul happens together, and the doubt becomes clear."

What Qin Long said was reasonable and well-founded. From what it sounds like, these human soul times are indeed inseparable from Zi Shiran.

But he himself knew that there was no connection between the three. Qin Long just used the method of relying on the results to infer the causes, and found a seemingly reasonable scapegoat. Who let Zi Shiran rob him?

things, but also aimed at him with ill intentions.

"What you said makes sense. Even if the Ziyue Family is not the mastermind of this incident, it must still be an important role in it. I will ask someone to find out their movements."

After the exchange of the main events, the atmosphere in the room became strangely silent. The two of them had their own thoughts and didn't know how to express them.

Shuangyue wanted to ask about Qin Long's situation, but she was now a golden elixir monk and a deacon of her family. Due to her status, she had many words that she could not say.

Qin Long wanted Shuangyue to help him find the Five Elements Kung Fu scattered in the world of cultivation. If a giant like the Li family wanted to find the Kung Fu, it would definitely be more reliable than trying his luck, but Qin Long couldn't tell him now.

The relationship between frost and moon.

The two said that they were not friends, and they went beyond the ordinary way of getting along between superiors and subordinates. He directly asked for help, fearing Shuangyue's rejection, and how embarrassing it would be to meet again in the future. He asked for money to look for him, but he was also worried that the other party would be angry, and he didn't know what to do.

It's good.

"Forget it, let's ask my father to ask in his name when we get back. It doesn't matter whether his old face is lost or not."

Qin Guan was thrown out by his son without knowing it, but even if he knew his son's thoughts, he would be happy to help.

Just when Qin Long was about to say goodbye and leave, he was unexpectedly stopped by Shuang Yue.

I saw Shuangyue caressing my sleeves slightly, and the originally frosty and determined face actually had a touch of sadness, and she said lightly: "By the way, let me tell you one more thing, I am leaving Shiyu City."

"What?"

Qin Long was shocked. He had just hugged an iron thigh, so why did the other party take steps?

"Is it the end of the deacon's term?" Qin Long asked naturally, remembering that Shuang Yue had stayed in Shiyu City for a long time.

The deacons who stay in each city of the Li family have a term of office. After the time is up, they will rotate with the deacons in other auction houses in order to prevent them from staying in one city for too long and causing the possibility of being taken back.

.

Unexpectedly, Shuangyue shook her head, "The rotation time in a remote city like Shiyu City is relatively long. I have not yet expired my term. I am leaving this time because of promotion."

Only then did Qin Long remember that Shuang Yue had already condensed into a soldier and was already a sword cultivator in the Golden Core realm. Nowadays, the skills in the world of cultivation are incomplete and the swordsmanship has been lost long ago. She has reached the final step of sword cultivation.

Don't underestimate this Jindan realm sword cultivator. Shuangyue is now invincible even with bare hands in the same realm.

With the sword cultivator's abnormal output ability, as long as she is given a good enough magic weapon, she will be able to fight to a draw or even kill a strong person in the divine elixir realm after she has mastered the art of swordsmanship.

Qin Long nodded slightly, "It seems that when the Li family recalled Shuang Yue this time, they probably had the intention of cultivating her."

A master who is infinitely close to the divine elixir realm is worthy of attention for most forces. This is a good thing, but why does Shuang Yue look a little sad?

Seemingly sensing what Qin Long was thinking, Shuang Yue said: "You may not know how huge the Li family is, not to mention a Jindan monk, even a divine elixir, is nothing more than a pawn in their eyes."

Is it that exaggerated?

The realm of divine elixirs is already at the middle level in the world of cultivation, and even higher is the level of immortals. There may not be many immortals in the entire cultivation world, but Shuang Yue actually said that the realm of divine elixirs is a pawn.

"Then you didn't get a promotion during this trip?"

"It's a promotion, but it's also a prison sentence."

Shuang Yue looked regretful, and then asked: "Do you know why the world of cultivation can always maintain a situation where the family is the dominant one and the sect is in decline?"

"Is it because the aristocratic family controls the cultivation resources?"

In addition to the royal family, the Zhulan Empire is divided into three parts: the Li family, the Mu family, and the Lan family. They firmly occupy the leading position in military, political, and business affairs. How can ordinary cultivation sects conquer an empire.

"There are reasons for this, but resources are secondary. The root cause of the sect's decline actually lies with the monks."

"Is it blood?"

Qin Long felt a little relieved when he heard this. The talents displayed by the monks after building the foundation were not all due to luck. Heredity also accounted for a large part of the factor. For example, most of the rare metallic auras came from a certain family.

transmitted from .

If several major families select the best among the best, they will definitely create a group of talented cultivators. Ordinary sects that only rely on recruiting disciples to develop their power will naturally be unable to keep up.

I saw Shuang Yue shaking her head again, "It's not blood."

"What?"

Qin Long was dumbfounded. Now he was really curious about the family's methods. It had nothing to do with resources and it was not inherited by blood. So how could they rely on one family to dominate and suppress them desperately? There were so many sects in the Zhulan Empire, one by one.

Don't you have to deal with them all to death?

"Actually, it's very simple. Those aristocratic families only need to take away all the outstanding cultivators." Shuangyue explained.

"But how did they do it? There are countless monks in the Zhulan Empire alone, and how do they select the newly born children who come from the mortal world..."

Suddenly Qin Long stopped talking. Only then did he understand why the Zhulan Empire guarded the largest treasure house of monks in the world, but explicitly prohibited contact with the mortal world. The reason was very simple. Qin Long could even name a special noun to describe it, industry.

monopoly.

From this point of view, it is indeed not good news that Shuangyue was recalled by the Li family. What awaits her is likely to be life-long house arrest.

"But is this really good? The mortal world is not only bordered by the Julan Empire. If we remain stubborn, won't other empires take advantage of us?"

"Qin Long, you underestimate the greed of cultivators. The techniques circulated in the sect are all deleted. Why are there only fragments of ancient cultivation techniques? This incident can explain everything. It has nothing to do with the mortal world.

The Julan Empire is not the only one who is cutting off contacts, the people in power in other empires are also doing it, because only in this way can power be firmly in their hands."

"The people can follow it, but they cannot know it."

This sentence suddenly popped up in Qin Long's mind. For the people, we can only make them do what we want, but we can't make them understand why we do it.

The original meaning of this saying is that the people are dull and need to be led by a wise emperor to lead a better life according to the path designated by the emperor.

But as time goes by, it has become synonymous with fooling, because only in this way can the supreme power of the superiors be consolidated and the sea that carries them turn into a silent stagnant water that will never make waves again.

In an instant, Qin Long felt chills all over his body. He had always imagined the world of cultivation to be very simple. He believed that the existence of spiritual energy turned this world into a wilderness with intelligent life. The law of the jungle was the master of this world, but he did not

I was wrong from the beginning. The shadow of the superior has already enveloped the entire planet.

However, why did Shuangyue tell herself so many hidden secrets in the world of cultivation? She was just a fish in the water and could do nothing for her. Moreover, this kind of thing must be a secret known to only a few people, so she said it so easily.
