I'm accumulating points in the cultivation world.

Upon entering the barrier, the two looked towards the prison cell.

Tang Doudou's eyes immediately welled up with tears, but she quickly composed herself, though her tightly clenched hands betrayed her true feelings.

That was clearly Lin Yu! But he was chained up and couldn't move at all. Strangely, I couldn't sense a trace of spiritual energy from him!

"So you are Young Master Lin?" Qian Jingyuan asked.

Lin Yu glanced at the familiar figure behind Qian Jingyuan, but quickly looked away.

"I advise you to give up as soon as possible. I won't say anything!" Lin Yu said calmly.

Qian Jingyuan sneered, "Young Master Lin, why be so stubborn? You're a prisoner now, and you've lost your spiritual power, yet you're still so arrogant?"

At this moment, a faint light emanated from around the cell, and a deep voice could be heard: "This kid is tough, but it doesn't matter, we have plenty of ways to make him talk."

As the sound faded, several dark figures slowly emerged.

Tang Doudou was startled and instinctively moved closer to Qian Jingyuan.

Qian Jingyuan shielded her behind him, watching the shadowy figure warily.

One of the dark figures reached out, and a beam of black light shot towards Lin Yu. Lin Yu groaned and his body trembled slightly.

Qian Jingyuan sneered, "I don't see any sincerity from you!"

“We’ll teach him a lesson for you!” the shadowy figure said.

“No need for that!” Qian Jingyuan said coldly.

"Let's go!" the shadowy figure sneered, and vanished in the next second.

"You don't need to put on an act in front of me. You're in cahoots with them!" Lin Yu said through gritted teeth.

Qian Jingyuan gestured for Tang Doudou to go and take a look. Tang Doudou took two steps forward, stood at the prison door and looked at Lin Yu. Then she bit her finger, drew a talisman in the air, and then pushed Lin Yu with her palm!

Lin Yu was stunned. "You, you also know runes?"

"I only know a little bit. If you cooperate with me..." Tang Doudou hadn't finished speaking when Lin Yu angrily shouted, "Don't even think about it! No one can get the runes from me! Even if I die, I won't let you get them."

"Why bother?" Tang Doudou said quietly. "Your life is very important. There are still many things in this world worth experiencing, and there are people waiting for you."

Lin Yu felt a pang of pain in his heart, but he sneered, "Don't waste your time! I won't tell!"

"Don't be ungrateful!" Tang Doudou said angrily.

"At worst, I'll die!" Lin Yu said firmly.

Tang Doudou returned to Qian Jingyuan's side and shook her head.

Qian Jingyuan looked at Lin Yu and said, "I respect you as a man!" After saying that, he turned around and left with Tang Doudou.

After leaving the cell, Tang Doudou looked dejected.

Qian Jingyuan patted her shoulder, "Don't be discouraged. If all else fails, I've collected some books on runes for you. Go back and take a good look at them."

Tang Doudou's eyes lit up. "Really? Thank you so much!"

Qian Jingyuan nodded.

Tang Doudou returned to her room and breathed a sigh of relief. Lin Yu was still alive. Although he had no spiritual power now, she had just implanted a rune into Lin Yu's body. This rune would slowly absorb spiritual power, and Lin Yu's body would gradually recover.

When the opportunity arises, she can rescue Lin Yu.

Watching Qian Jingyuan leave, the Shen family patriarch looked at the photo taken outside the prison cell twice, but still couldn't figure it out.

"Why is this young master Qian suddenly interested in someone surnamed Lin?" Shen Yu asked, puzzled.

“He might be coveting the power of the runes!” Clan Chief Shen said. “That Qian family brat has been having some good luck lately! Investigate him, and also that girl behind him!”

“I heard from Shen Ze that Young Master Qian is pursuing that girl,” Shen Yu quickly said.

“Sometimes, what is presented to us is not necessarily the truth!” Chief Shen said. “Go and investigate again.”

"Alright!" Shen Yu accepted the order and left.

Back in his room, Qian Jingyuan carefully considered everything that had happened in the cell. He couldn't tell that the two of them were strangers, so why would Tang Doudou implant a rune into his body?

What kind of runes are those?

What exactly is Tang Zhanyue's identity?

Qian Jingyuan thought for a long time but couldn't figure it out. Then he shook his head helplessly and thought, "Oh well, I'll definitely have a chance to find out the truth in the future."

The next step was to negotiate with the other eight families. Tang Doudou's cultivation level was currently a bit low, so it would be best to exchange for some treasures that could improve her cultivation.

Since she likes the treasure she obtained this way, he will grant her wish!

In the following time, Tang Doudou accompanied Qian Jingyuan to negotiate with the remaining eight companies. Fortunately, they did not encounter Zhao Long.

Tang Doudou also got to know many people from the ten major families, including many familiar yet unfamiliar faces.

In the future, they too will become the murderers of her loved ones!

She has to stop all of this!
