The Great Xia Dynasty's Longevity Begins with Connecting to the Swallowed Starry Sky

Chapter 336 Standard Feature: Emergency

"welcome."

Song Fugui, on behalf of Qin Hao, welcomed the group. Guo Jing looked at Song Fugui and sighed with emotion.

Is this person also an expert?

His intuition told him that the person in front of him posed a significant threat.

He even surpassed the woman next to him.

Hmm, this woman's level of threat is by no means low, and it even seems a bit higher?
My intuition just now seems to have been wrong.

It's really unbelievable.

It's absolutely amazing.

The others all had their own feelings, and they seemed to be in similar situations.

They had all fought their way out of mountains of corpses and seas of blood, and their aura of malevolence was very strong.

Of course, their intuition is also very sharp.

Although Song Fugui was all smiles, with an attitude of "you can't hit a smiling face," he seemed like the shopkeeper of a general store, trying to attract customers.

But Huang Yaoshi and the others all sensed the terror emanating from him.

They seemed completely unprepared and relaxed.

But in reality, they can unleash their most devastating attack at any moment.

These are all seasoned warriors.

Although Qinghe Bay is not lacking in martial artists, none seem to be as battle-hardened as they are.

Their energy and spirit seemed perfectly integrated, not at all like someone who had just broken through to the third realm.

These all ascended from some small world.

Positioning oneself in a small world, or a microcosm, is something that every large family does.

Because the wealth represented by a small world, or a small chiliocosm, is actually very large.

Moreover, there is a continuous source of power behind the world.

Whether it's a prestigious family or a sect, they all value these things.

However, there aren't many who can successfully locate and occupy a small world and provide a continuous stream of support.

Qin Hao, however, did it.

Moreover, his cultivation has not lagged behind.

Song Fugui didn't know how the other party had done it, but in his heart he felt that Qin Hao was the most likely to ascend to immortality.

Qin Hao's plan was to elevate the Qianyang Realm to the Great Thousand World.

Futong Money Shop basically agreed with this point.

Even the elders and predecessors of the Futong Money House in the Heavenly Realm gave their limited approval.

The reason it's limited is because they haven't submitted the plan yet.

But the support from above is at least a clear stance.

Limited support.

Futong Money Shop also has people in the Upper Realm, but not many, and they also do business.

This was something Song Fugui encountered by chance when his soul traveled to the heavens.

His landing point in the celestial realm each time his soul travels is not fixed, but appears randomly in the celestial realm.

Otherwise, he would have come knocking on his door long ago.

Because the time spent in the celestial realm is limited, and the landing point is random.

So it took him many trips to finally get in touch with his ancestor.

This is why there was no supplementary life contract before, and why Song Fugui didn't like to travel to the heavenly realm in spirit.

It depletes vitality but yields little benefit; it's not worth it.

In fact, the people at Fu Tong Money Shop are all experts in doing business.

Between the two, of course, one's own life is more important.

"Hehe, everyone's here?"

A familiar voice sounded.

Then, Guo Jing saw Qin Hao walk in, with a majestic and imposing gait, still the same ethereal immortal he remembered.

"Master."

Guo Jing called out.

Song Fugui could hardly believe what this man with thick eyebrows was shouting.
Qin Hao was somewhat speechless. He had already informed Song Fugui of the news, since Qin Hao was a hands-off manager and many things needed to be done by the other party.

Therefore, Song Fugui knew about these things in the small world.

He had a roster in his hand, given to him by Qin Hao, to make it easier for him to arrange these people.

Those who were able to ascend to the Qianyang Realm were naturally all people close to him.

Everyone else, go and strive for a bright future.

For example, the people from Shaolin and Dali need to contact the Western Sect or the Pure Land of Vulture Peak themselves.

If others are willing to guide them, they can set up their own ascension platform in the Legend of the Condor Heroes world.

Perhaps it can be safely delivered.

Whether it succeeds or not, Qin Hao will not interfere or help.

Out of respect for Master Yideng, he could agree to allow the bald monks to continue to rule the Southern Vermilion Bird Grotto.

But it must not be damaged.

"Alright, everyone, sit down. Time flows faster in small worlds and small thousand worlds. You all understand this without me having to explain it."

One day in heaven is equivalent to one year on earth.

This is no joke.

In worlds with higher energy levels, the flow of time would naturally be slower.

This is not just Qin Hao making things up.

As for the flow of time in these worlds, it is relatively faster.

That is the power of the supreme treasure.

After everyone had met, Qin Hao said, "Next, you will all integrate into Qinghe Bay."

Song Fugui is the chief steward of Qinghewan, and Xie Lingyun is the deputy chief steward.

If you need anything, just ask them for help.

Add me as a friend on Tianwang (a Chinese instant messaging platform). You can ask me questions directly on Tianwang, send me messages, or even video chat.

You all used it when you were in the Nether, so you should be very familiar with it.

Next, I will go into seclusion to try to improve the strength of my main body.

In Huzhou, things might not hold out for long; something bad is likely to happen.

These days, there should be some disturbances in the Demon Realm Passage near Kanli Lake in Qinghe Bay.

You can choose to go over there and get used to it first...

After saying this, Qin Hao saw that everyone nodded, so he turned and left.

His time was very tight, so Xie Lingyun and the others wouldn't bother him.

Qin Hao's strength is very important; it's equivalent to the reputation of Qinghe Bay.

Previously, Qin Hao was very strong, but he was mostly there because of Ao Hui from Pengze Lake.

Until Ao Hong rose like a rainbow, stunning everyone.

He accompanied Mr. Lu on his journey, tracing the passage to the Demon Realm.

At first, it was Mr. Lu who took action, but later it was entirely Ao Hong who took action.

Therefore, those people no longer dared to underestimate Qin Hao.

Qin Hao is no longer a genius, but a highly skilled expert.

With Ao Hong's growing fame, Qinghe Bay's status naturally rose as well.

Even the Great Xia Dynasty dared not assign them arbitrarily, nor did it dare to forcibly conscript them.

Everyone noticed Qin Hao's performance in the Great Xia court.

There are definitely undercurrents running deep behind the scenes, but in the open, no one dares to make a move.

At least before Qin Hao's alter ego Ao Hong gets into trouble, no one would be that stupid.

Guo Jing was still somewhat reluctant to see Qin Hao leave.

Although we had met before in the lower realm and just now on the Skynet, we had spoken a lot.

But in this unfamiliar world, Guo Jing was still a little nervous and wanted to be with familiar people.

This has nothing to do with personality; it's just everyone's subconscious reaction.

Fortunately, they had all gone through countless hardships and had grown up amidst mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

Although he looks young, just like an ordinary middle-aged person.

But even the youngest among them, Guo Jing, is over a hundred years old.

At this age, in ordinary people, the lineage can already be passed down for five or even six generations.

In fact, Guo Fu already has a great-grandson.

However, due to the distance between their generations, although Guo Jing had feelings for those children, they were not unforgettable.

She's definitely different from her own three children.

Therefore, Huang Rong would consider Guo Fu's sake, and at most, she would consider Guo Fu's child.

But when it comes to a child's child, there isn't as much energy to spare.

After all, for more than a hundred years, apart from cultivating, Huang Rong spent most of her time assisting Guo Jing in guarding the front line against the monster world.

After Qin Hao left, Song Fugui gave Guo Jing and the others more detailed information.

The information Guo Jing had received was detailed, but not specific enough.

This report, in addition to details about the world, also includes information about relationships with various factions.

Guo Jing and the others were greatly impressed after quickly browsing through the information.

This world is indeed far superior to theirs.

There are quite a few powerful individuals who have reached the fourth realm, the closest to the immortal realm, and have achieved the state of returning to the void and merging with the Dao.

There are two in Qinghewan.

One of them is Qin Hao, who was recently promoted.

Another one is Qin Hao's personal bodyguard, General Crab.

Whether there are other things going on in secret, they don't know.

However, the intelligence report did not mention that Qin Hao's clone had already become an immortal.

Guo Jing and the others understood and complied.

The strength of Qinghe Bay cannot be revealed casually.

Qin Hao attained immortality in secret and naturally didn't want others to know.

Our apparent strength is already sufficient to protect Qinghe Bay.

"Next, you can take on some missions in the territory to integrate first. You can also go to Lake Kanli to participate in the Demon Realm's attack and defense war. It's a bit dangerous, but not too dangerous."

Song Fugui's words surprised Guo Jing and the others.

You should know that it was a world almost like the heavens.

Before they ascended, they were actually quite afraid.

I don't know if I will survive this war.

But Song Fugui's words suggest that their situation isn't bad?

Song Fugui is a shrewd man who can speak to people in a human way and to ghosts in a ghost way. How could he not know the doubts of Guo Jing and the others?

He immediately burst into laughter: "Don't worry, merging the two worlds is not so easy."

We cannot intervene in the clash of the natural order for the time being.

However, the world's barriers are not so easily broken.

Besides, we're there to hold the line.

After Song Fugui offered a brief explanation, Guo Jing and the others breathed a sigh of relief.

Song Fugui added, "Brother Qin and Master Lu have already cleared the demon realm passage on the human side. The situation is currently in our favor. As long as we develop quickly enough, we don't need to worry or be afraid."

What we need to do now is to stop the invasion of the demon realm.

As long as there is still a chance, Guo Jing and the others will naturally not be afraid.

When they first started out, the Song Dynasty was on the verge of collapse, but weren't they still able to hold out firmly there?

In the end, the worst that can happen is that one can calmly face death.

They have already cultivated martial arts and arrived in a world where one can become an immortal, thus raising their potential.

Guo Jing and the others had already sensed that the shackles that bound their cultivation had been broken.

As expected of someone who could stand out from the small world, this determination was enough to move Song Fugui and others.

This level of mental cultivation is far superior to that of the two of them.

"Alright, so what are your choices?"

Song Fugui asked.

Guo Jing and the others exchanged glances and tacitly decided to go directly to Kanli Lake to take a look.

The threat from the Demon Realm is the greatest; they all possess supplies given to them by Qin Hao before their ascension.

That's enough for them to use in the early stages of the third realm.

It can last for several months without any problems.

Moreover, the five of them have a great rapport and will be able to take care of each other during the Demon Realm's attack and defense war.

Although both Huang Yaoshi and the Old Urchin had ways to make a living and skills to earn money.

But the others still need to go to the Demon Realm battlefield, so they went along with them so they could coordinate with each other.

"Alright, in that case, you can go and collect a batch of supplies."

It includes a standard magical artifact, which, although only a spiritual weapon, is quite effective against demons and also provides good protection for oneself.

This is made in Qinghewan, and it's very famous throughout Qianyang. It's also extremely cost-effective.

Outside, purchasing a set of such magical artifacts would cost at least three hundred mid-grade spirit stones, but warriors from Qinghe Bay can receive a set for free upon joining, as long as they don't avoid battle.

Song Fugui chuckled.

This benefit is indeed good, but the actual cost price is only 20 mid-grade spirit stones.

The price increased 15 times, resulting in a profit margin of more than ten times. Since it was a standardized product sold in large quantities, it naturally made a fortune.

Of course, you can also purchase it using Star Coins.

However, Star Yuan was originally a currency created by Qinghe Bay, and people would prioritize using Star Yuan for cultivation after it was used.

Therefore, when spending money, many buyers actually use spirit stones to make purchases.

There are relatively few people who use Star Element.

Using Star Essence for cultivation is more cost-effective.

The price of Xingyuan in Qinghe Bay is slightly lower than that of Lingshi.

Therefore, it is more cost-effective to exchange spirit stones for star essence multiple times, and the price is relatively lower when paying with spirit stones.

In reality, it was Qin Hao who manipulated the economy to harvest the world's spirit stone reserves.

"This includes a Vajra Pestle, a Clear Sound Bell, a Green Wood Armor, and a White Jade Gourd. They are all spirit-grade items, which is a great deal."

Song Fugui said with a smile.

These are all products of the weapon-refining workshop in Qinghewan.

However, the design drawings were not produced by Qinghewan, but by Qin Hao.

Of course, this research comes from the team that created the Earth in the Swallowing Stars world.

Qin Hao came up with the idea, and they perfected it.

Having so many worlds, with the free flow of information and goods, is all perfectly normal, and it's what allows him to rise to power more quickly.

As he spoke, Song Fugui stood up, and Xie Lingyun coughed.

This Song Fugui has forgotten the important matter.

Her cough reminded Song Fugui of something, making him feel a little embarrassed.

But that's how business people are; even when embarrassed, they recover immediately and say with a smile, "I forgot, let me introduce you."

This is Xie Lingyun from the Diancang Sect. She is extremely powerful and was once a well-known expert on the Human Ranking.

Later, she narrowly lost to our Brother Qin, and then she followed him.

"Cough cough."

Reminded by Xie Lingyun, Song Fugui said without any embarrassment, "However, she came here today to place a life contract on you. The so-called life contract is actually a secret technique and also a magic weapon."

Once applied, the life bond will absorb your free life force when you are not fighting.

If you are injured during battle, this life contract will slowly release the free life force it normally absorbs to heal your injuries.

Guo Jing and the others were greatly surprised. There was such a secret technique?
That sounds great.

These martial artists possess powerful qi and blood, and their vitality is also formidable.

Even under normal circumstances, there is plenty of free-floating life.

If it can be absorbed and used to replenish energy during battle, wouldn't that be a lifesaver?
They had never heard of such things before; there were truly many wonderful things in the upper realm.

Little did they know that this life contract was something unique to Xie Lingyun.

Qin Hao was able to cultivate because Xie Lingyun agreed.

This thing seems to have touched upon a law, possessing some kind of regularity.

Without wasting any words, Xie Lingyun directly made a hand seal and imprinted the life contract on the back of the five people's hands.

Then, it simply disappears from sight.

Guo Jing looked at the back of his hand but found nothing.

But he could clearly sense the existence of the life contract.

The free-floating life force around him was absorbed.

However, some of them disappeared.

Guo Jing knew that this money was probably used to support the daily operation of the life contract, and also that a portion of it would likely go to the female cultivator.

Xie Lingyun smiled and said, "This life contract is given to you. Each time, about one in ten thousand will be absorbed by the life contract and transferred to my mother seal."

This is also my secret weapon, one of my fundamental methods.

These wandering life forms can help my destiny contract grow stronger and upgrade.

This process is also her process of self-cultivation.

Guo Jing and the others naturally didn't care.

If you've received a benefit, even a small one, you can't just not share it with others, can you?

Song Fugui laughed and said, "This is Xie Lingyun's unique magic weapon. Brother Qin only succeeded in cultivating it with Xie Lingyun's permission. No one else can cultivate it successfully, let alone others."

Of course, many people in Qinghewan have now been imprinted with this life contract, which is one of the reasons why the soldiers in Qinghewan have a high survival rate.

You don't need to worry. You can sense that you can erase this thing with just a thought.

Guo Jing knew this, of course, and he also knew that Qin Hao would not harm them.

Otherwise, there would have been no need to go to such lengths to bring them here from the lower realm.

"Alright, I'll take you to get the magic weapon."

"Yes, there are also some talismans, both offensive and defensive. You can purchase some yourself if you'd like."

"No need. Before we ascended, our master already bestowed upon us many supplies."

Including elixirs and talismans, it would be enough to last for a very long time if one were not in seclusion for cultivation.

Let them experience the battles of the Demon Realm before considering going into seclusion.

Martial arts practitioners cannot improve their skills by simply studying behind closed doors.

Seeing this, Song Fugui nodded and led them to collect their belongings. Then he created a clone of himself and said, "Follow my clone. I have other matters to attend to."

The cultivation method practiced by Song Fugui is simple to learn; wealth can connect one with the divine.

Moreover, they can allocate a lot of financial resources to handle various matters with ease.

This is also why Qin Hao was willing to place Song Fugui in the position of chief steward, and why no one else competed for it.

They were all people who aspired to cultivate themselves and follow the path of enlightenment.

Dealing with these matters is time-consuming and laborious, although it can also generate considerable profits.

But compared to these things, isn't spiritual practice more important?

Before long, Guo Jing and the others boarded a flying boat and headed for Kanli Lake.

Standing on the flying boat, Hong Qigong couldn't help but sigh, "It seems that the Upper Realm hasn't developed much technology, but the ubiquitous high-level magical treasures are still overwhelming."

Huang Yaoshi asked curiously, "But where did the technology you gave me, fellow Daoist, come from?"

The world in which this entity resides doesn't seem to have any trace of technology.

The old rascal chuckled and asked, "Where do we come from?"

"what do you mean?"

"That's right, it must be from another world."

Having access to so many worlds and being so knowledgeable, it's no wonder they've succeeded.

They admired, but they were not jealous.

To be honest, in their worlds, the resources provided are actually insufficient, so they cannot advance in rank.

Who can blame them when they are the direct descendants of the three religions?

"Let's meditate first and get back to our peak condition. I have a feeling that once we get there, we won't be able to rest for a while."

"Okay, I feel the same way."

So the five of them immediately sat cross-legged and began to meditate.

Some of the people nearby were even a little excited.

This was not their first time on the battlefield; their struggle against the demons had been going on for many years.

Fortunately, Qinghe Bay had never failed before, so there was no worry or fear on these people's faces.

Their faces, however, were filled with anticipation.

It's as if they're not there to fight, but to seize military achievements and resources.

Half a day passed in the blink of an eye, and the high-speed airship had brought them to a large base near Kanli Lake.

Looking around at the shops, there were also some cloud towers.

Guo Jing and the others were all taken aback.

I thought this was a battlefield, but it looks more like a shopping mall.
Song Fugui's clone laughed and said, "How about it? Aren't you surprised?"

This is a large-scale base that Qin Hao has focused on building, and it's not just a place to suppress the passage to the Demon Realm.

This is also a large trading venue.

It's not just about buying and selling pills, spiritual herbs, spiritual plants, and magical treasures, but also all sorts of things obtained from demons.

Besides Qinghe Bay, many other forces have set up branches here.

Besides the demon corpses, there were also many local specialties that the demons brought from the demon realm.

These are all very valuable.

All soldiers who participate in the battle have the right to take the corpses, storage treasures, and even some resources carried by the demons they kill as their own.

Of course, the premise is that they need to pay a certain fee as the cost of operating the formation.

This is an investment in Qinghewan, a cost to protect them.

The quantity is small, and it's divided into portions, only 10%.

Although this was enough to make Qinghewan a fortune, ordinary soldiers and the foreign cultivators who came here to fight also earned enough profit.

Qin Hao is not stingy; he is willing to give away benefits so that he can earn more for himself.

Just as they were about to disembark from the airship, an alarm suddenly sounded.

The surrounding area immediately became busy, but Guo Jing quickly noticed that the activity was efficient and orderly.

"This is?"

"This is another invasion from the Demon Realm. Don't worry too much, this is normal, it happens several times a day... Hmm, this time, it seems different. Wait, this time it's a riot. You all go and register immediately, and follow the guidance of the array spirit to where you are."

As Song Fugui spoke, seemingly conveying a message, he quickly recovered: "You don't need to worry. We've handled countless such emergencies. In the Demon Realm, we haven't even used our trump cards once."
