"I came to visit you this time hoping to get your help. I'm looking for someone." Ying Ying gently wrote a name on the table, her eyes firm and deep.

"Why are you looking for him?" Jin Duoqian's heart moved slightly. He remembered that he had heard of this person's reputation when he opened this branch in the underworld. He was a Buddhist cultivator with a great reputation in the cultivation world, and he was well-known and admired.

"I hope to purchase certain items from him." Ying Ni recounted to Jin Duoqian her experiences since returning to Blue Star, including many thrilling adventures and encounters. Of course, she deliberately omitted details about the Jiuzhou Pawn Shop, the Book of Fate, and her own reincarnation as an ancient powerhouse. These matters were too complex to be detailed at this moment.

"Oh, so you're looking to buy those specially treated red spider lilies and datura?" Jin Duoqian immediately grasped the key point in Ying Meng's words, a shrewd glint in his eyes. Clearly, he knew the purpose and value of these mysterious items intimately, and perhaps he could offer some assistance.

Ying Ni nodded gently, a look of determination in her eyes. Then, she pulled a heavy bag from her bosom, filled with darkly shimmering dark stones, and gently placed it in front of Jin Duoqian. Jin Duoqian looked at the bag of dark stones but didn't reach out to take them. Instead, he pushed the bag of dark stones back to Ying Ni. Ying Ni stared at him in confusion, her eyes filled with bewilderment.

"I don't need these dark stones," Jin Duoqian said calmly, his gaze firm and penetrating. "I long to personally visit the world you describe." Ever since hearing Ying Meng's many stories about that world, Jin Duoqian's heart had been filled with a yearning for that mysterious world. He longed to witness that otherworldly world, filled with strange sights and unique culture.

Ying Xuan was speechless for a moment, wondering what exactly this young master was planning. He chose to leave the vibrant Xuanming Continent and instead head for the spiritually sparse Blue Star. She knew Blue Star was a world completely different from Xuanming Continent, where spiritual energy was so thin that cultivators struggled to unleash their powers, and even couldn't stay there for long.

"That... I can't make the decision," Ying Nie replied, using the Heavenly Dao as an excuse. "I must consult the Heavenly Dao over there." She knew that traveling to Blue Star was no easy task; she needed Heavenly Dao's permission, or else there would be a series of unpredictable consequences. She hoped Jin Duoqian would understand this and stop insisting on this seemingly absurd idea.

"Perhaps you can discuss this matter with Him. Wu Chen, Tian Jizi and I have discovered a spiritual vein, and we can use it as a bargaining chip." Jin Duoqian rubbed his hands gently and suggested in a low voice.

"What? A spiritual vein? Where did you find it?" Ying Li was surprised. A spiritual vein is a mountain range that continuously supplies spiritual energy. The most powerful sects on Xuanming Continent are built on large spiritual veins, and even smaller sects possess at least one medium or small spiritual vein.

Over the past thousand years, aside from the ten most dangerous areas, all other spiritual veins, large and small, were either occupied by aristocratic families or monopolized by sects, leaving virtually no unoccupied spiritual veins. She had no idea what hardships and dangers these close friends had endured to discover an unoccupied spiritual vein.

"That..." Jin Duoqian seemed a little hesitant when he mentioned the origin of this spiritual vein. Finally, he mustered up the courage to continue, "In fact, that spiritual vein has a subtle connection with you."

"Is it related to me?" After hearing this, Ying Li spat out the tea in her mouth in surprise, then pointed her finger at herself and asked in disbelief.

Jin Duoqian picked up the clean silk scarf beside him and wiped the tea stains off his face, wondering why he always got into trouble.

"Do you still remember the place where you endured the tribulation? In truth, the calamity you experienced has quietly passed. After you disappeared, a rain filled with spiritual energy fell in that place, accompanied by strange phenomena in the heavens and the earth, as if a grand ceremony between heaven and earth. This is why we were incredulous when we learned a few days later that your life lamp in the Xuantian Sect had extinguished. Therefore, Tianjizi refused to submit to the arrangements of heaven and went against the will of heaven, expending immense effort to calculate your whereabouts. After that divination, he was unable to use spiritual energy for a hundred years, and suffered great damage both physically and mentally. You are also aware that the sects on the Xuanming Continent are full of conflicts of interest. After that divination, Tianjizi's status in the Tianji Sect declined significantly. If his master had not been the Tianji Sect's Grand Elder, he might have been expelled from the sect long ago, losing all protection and resources."

Jin Duoqian lamented, "The world of immortal cultivation is one where the strong survive. In pursuit of immortality, people will resort to any means necessary, not to mention betraying their masters and severing their inheritance for the sake of profit. In this world, everyone strives for their own goals, sometimes even at the expense of others." Jin Duoqian's words were filled with frustration and emotion. He knew such things were common in the world of immortal cultivation, but each time they occurred, he gained a deeper understanding of the world's cruelty.

Ying Xuan was well aware of the constant internal strife within the Xuantian Sect, where killing and the struggle for treasures became almost commonplace. Despite this, she and her close friends relied on their own abilities to secure their place within their respective sects. Unlike other sect members, they were fortunate to learn from an exceptional master, whose guidance helped them uphold their principles.

While searching for you, we unexpectedly discovered a strange change at the site where you experienced the thunder tribulation. That thunder tribulation and the subsequent spiritual rain imbued a mountain range of spiritual stone with spirituality, transforming it into a medium-sized spiritual vein. We seized this vein before anyone else noticed. This deal with you is actually for Tianjizi. According to your description, your location is relatively safe, and Tianjizi is currently unable to utilize spiritual power. The current state of Xuanming Continent is no longer suitable for him. This is the true motivation for the deal with Ying Li, as revealed by Jin Duoqian.

Ying Mei pondered Tianjizi's plight and thought she might be able to communicate with Tiandao. Since Shan Zhizhi was the incarnation of Tiandao on earth, as long as he agreed, she would lead Tianjizi there.

"The one I want to save is the incarnation of Heaven in the human world. As long as he is willing, I can cross the barriers between the two worlds and bring Tianjizi to the other side. However, the premise of all this is that he must be able to wake up." Ying Li revealed the real reason why she saved Shan Zhizhi.

"Of course, I will immediately instruct my spies to find the whereabouts of that person and inform you in time." Jin Duoqian realized that the person Ying Li was looking for was related to whether Tianjizi could go to a safe world, so he quickly ordered all of Wanshitong's spies in the underworld to take action.
