Chapter 312: I Want You to Assist My Cultivation (45k)

"If the heart is as clear as ice, one remains calm even if the sky collapses; if one remains steady amidst ten thousand changes, the spirit is at ease and the Qi is tranquil; forget the self and guard the One, the six senses are greatly settled..."

Bai Cangshu held the 【Ice Heart Art】 in his hands, and as his Spirit was poured into it, these characters seemed to brand themselves into his consciousness like tadpoles.

Furthermore, the Qi within his body quickly began to flow along a special trajectory, and as this Qi moved, he indeed felt his mind become clearer.

【You have used the item: Ice Heart Art Manual. You have mastered the ability: Ice Heart Art (B+)】

【Ice Heart Art (B+) Lv1: Recite the mantra in your heart, and your Qi will transform into a state of neutrality and peace, suppressing negative influences on the mental level. Long-term use will slightly increase energy.】

With the help of the special "internal vision" effect brought by 【Transparent World】, although Bai Cangshu could not directly see the trajectory of his Qi, he felt the location where that icy sensation acted within his body very clearly.

So-called energy control, in many cases, besides using Spirit to manipulate it, is also directly guided by the physique. Some people with innate talent in mission worlds can perfectly wield various energies just by instinct; that is a special kind of instinct.

Bai Cangshu sat cross-legged in the hotel swimming pool, which made Lin Qinfu, who saw this scene from afar, once again firm in his judgment: Bai Laoda was indeed a descendant of a legendary hidden ancient martial arts family from Dongxia.

He had already received contact from several major families in the Kokang Special Zone, who wanted to offer reparations.

Although he did not know how Bai Laoda had managed it, the longer he stayed by Bai Laoda's side, the more accustomed he became to these things.

It seemed that every problem would be solved easily, and he only needed to properly use that money and power where it should be used.

Bai Laoda would not care what he did in private, but only the 【Paradise Project】 was something he dared not delay for anything. Even if he were in bed with a woman at the hotel, once there was an engineering matter, Lin Qinfu would instantly go limp and then go to resolve various engineering coordination issues.

With the financial resources of the March Conglomerate and the fact that Bai Laoda had suppressed various bandit gangs and local tribes, the Wa State region was undergoing rapid transformation. A large number of engineering teams moved in and began to carry out major reforms to roads and infrastructure.

The local people of Wa State were originally the part that gave such foreign investors the most headaches, but because of the full support of Du Enqin and the new Great Zen Master, they did not encounter any obstacles. Instead, wherever the engineering teams went, they received full assistance.

This left the construction workers who had rushed from Dongxia to work on the project amazed. What they did not know was that the uncooperative Zen masters and bandits had already fallen.

This was also mixed with many internal interest disputes among the locals. Because a strong dragon like Bai Cangshu was passing through, many quick-witted locals and bandits on the mountains, who could not fight against the original big families and magistrates anyway, were the first to defect.

And they used Bai Cangshu's military force and financial power to purge other factions.

Bai Cangshu knew the tricks behind this, but he was too lazy to pay attention to them.

The Paradise he wanted was an earthly paradise where Reincarnators could freely indulge their desires, and at the same time, a human Purgatory where law and morality could not reach.

These sycophants were only jumping around happily for now; in the end, they would naturally be devoured and wiped clean by even more vicious Reincarnators.

"Bai Laoda, a group of people just escaped from Kokang. They said those few big families are grabbing people everywhere. Should we... should we do something about it?"

Lin Qinfu leaned on his cane and came to the poolside, hesitating as he spoke.

Bai Cangshu opened his eyes, and Lin Qinfu was so frightened that he quickly lowered his head; he felt as if he saw a purple luster in Bai Laoda's eyes.

Was that the legendary "Purple Cloud Divine Art"? Lin Qinfu could not understand it and could only use content from the martial arts novels he had read in his youth to fill in the gaps.

But for some reason, such a Bai Laoda made the hair on his body stand on end, and he was terrified.

Bai Cangshu rose from the water and spat out the turbid Qi from his abdomen; that breath actually had a hint of icy mist.

He looked with interest at this "Wa State bigwig" he had cultivated with his own hands.

"What, because you were flattered a few times, you really think about wanting to uphold Justice for these people?"

His tone was mocking, and Lin Qinfu hurriedly bent over, apologizing repeatedly.

Bai Cangshu naturally did not really care about such a small matter, but he felt interest in the changes in Lin Qinfu.

Lin Qinfu was originally just a small figure managing a telecom fraud park, cheating and torturing compatriots swindled from Dongxia every day, and then using these people to cheat more compatriots out of their money.

It could be said that he was a fly-like figure who completely sucked the blood and sweat of others; he was a jackal, a Hyena.

But now that he had a little power and status, he actually wanted to "uphold Justice" because of this kind of social recognition.

This transformation of a jackal or Hyena trying hard to become a human made Bai Cangshu feel novel and interesting.

"Do you want to be a hero, Lin Qinfu?"

Lin Qinfu shook his head incessantly, his face pale. He began to slap himself hard, because he had been flattered by those people these days, and because those local tribal elders who used to ignore him had started trying every way to bribe him, he had really become a bit carried away.

Even because the four big families took the initiative to pay money and apologize, he felt that those big families were nothing special, so when those who escaped knelt on the ground and begged him to save their companions and families, he had an idea.

He thought that perhaps with his current status as the uncrowned king of Wa State, if he were to have a word with those big families, it shouldn't be a big problem to save a few ordinary people.

But just with one encounter with Bai Laoda, this carried-away mentality completely collapsed. He clearly realized that he was not the uncrowned king; he was just the eunuch who delivered the message.

"Bai Laoda, I..."

Suddenly, his body felt light, and a great force came from his head; a large hand pinched his head, as if picking up a toy.

Lin Qinfu trembled all over, but before he could be afraid, Bai Cangshu had already said:

"You can go be that hero, Lin Qinfu."

"If you go do one thing now, perhaps you might become the hero who saves Kokang..."

Lin Qinfu looked at the smile on Bai Laoda's face and could not feel the bravery of this so-called hero at all.

A moment later, Lin Qinfu, full of inner conflict, sent people to the Dongxia border to report the news that the Kokang Special Zone was wantonly capturing technical personnel, various types of production personnel, and women of appropriate age to the Dongxia border management office.

Lin Qinfu felt very awkward. He and Bai Laoda should clearly both be "outlaws" of that kind, birds of a feather with the four big families, but two major underworld forces, without resorting to a gang war, actually chose to stab the news to the neighboring Dongxia authorities behind their backs. This behavior made him very uncomfortable.

But Bai Cangshu did not care. He was also very curious about how the great powers that mastered the top-level military force of Blue Star would face the increasingly undisguised Reincarnator factions.

【End Sun】 was building islands and nations on the sea and wantonly capturing production personnel from various countries; such things were almost directly provoking the existing order and could not be hidden forever.

And looking at the ostentatious style of 【End Sun】, Bai Cangshu did not think they were the type to cover up their actions.

He deliberately kept those families in Kokang and let Lin Qinfu inform Dongxia of the assembly and transmission coordinates of End Sun, just because he hoped to see a great battle.

A great battle between the cutting-edge technology of the real world's humanity and powerful Reincarnators.

Moreover, he was very sure that not only him, but many Reincarnators who had received the news were now waiting for the result of this battle.

This battle would directly determine the attitude of many Reincarnators from then on.

If the order of the real world was proven to be completely unable to deal with Reincarnators, then Reincarnators would begin to gather on a large scale and establish their own new order.

If the Reincarnators were defeated, then the current order would be continued, Reincarnators would continue to hide themselves, and various countries would use this as a basis to build weapons and combat groups in a large-scale, targeted manner, striving to suppress all Reincarnators.

Although they did not know the specific origin of the Reincarnators, it was likely that the think tanks and response agencies of those high-level officials had long been able to summarize the potential profiles of the Reincarnators.

He had been unexpectedly calm these past few days; besides using the 【Ice Heart Art】, he was also sitting and waiting for this battle to break out.

Thinking about it, perhaps he could do something else during this time.

His 【Great Sin Sequence】 sublimation had been delayed for a long time. If it weren't for chasing the hidden sequence of the union of multiple Great Sins, he could have completed the sublimation back in the Pirate World.

Now, he only lacked the Lust Sin, and therefore...

"Li Qingzi, I hope you can appear before me tonight, otherwise..."

On the other side, aboard a private jet, Li Qingzi, dressed in a black women's suit, had a pale complexion, and her beautiful face looked somewhat haggard at this moment.

Although she had come up with many excuses to try and keep herself within Gaoli, Tao Baibai clearly would not care about such things.

At this moment, she even hoped that Xu Zhiyu of the Yixin Society would suddenly lash out, stir up some trouble in Gaoli, and then drag the March Conglomerate—and herself—into it...

Suddenly, a pain like a searing burn shot through the nerves in her brain; she pressed her fingers to her forehead with such force that it felt as if she were about to crush her own skull.

"Miss, are you alright?"

The old butler noticed that the young lady seemed to be feeling unwell.

"For a small business in a place like Myanmar, it should be enough for you to just arrange for a director to go and take a look..."

He wanted to persuade the young lady to rest, but for some reason, this act seemed to make her even more displeased.

"Take off."

Li Qingzi's face was livid as she told the butler to have the pilot take off.

For the March Conglomerate, a private jet was not a difficult matter, and air traffic control had long since been cleared.

The plane took off quickly.

Throughout the journey, Li Qingzi imagined many ways to protect herself without angering that master.

But after more than five hours, the plane landed, and led by a black off-road vehicle, she entered the former Wa State Special Region at night.

Even at night, this place was now brightly lit.

Excavators were working everywhere, large swaths of forest had been pushed down, and the roadbed had already been laid for nearly a hundred kilometers; driven by profit and with the cooperation of the locals, these Dongxia contractors were working almost in several shifts around the clock.

They did not know what resources the March Conglomerate had taken a fancy to here, but the almost double wages and the fact that there was no intention to delay payment—with 30% prepaid—made them work as if their lives depended on it to speed up progress.

With this kind of generosity, they were risking their lives to accelerate the schedule.

Based on these improved road conditions, Li Qingzi was delivered to Bai Cangshu even faster.

This made the woman even more depressed.

In the hotel, Lin Qinfu, Du Enqin, and several local police officials were all craning their necks, waiting for the arrival of the person in charge from the March Conglomerate.

After Li Qingzi appeared, the few were all stunned, not expecting the other party to be so young and beautiful.

Lin Qinfu even subconsciously looked toward Bai Cangshu in the main seat.

Bai Cangshu did not speak, only signaling for everyone to begin the meal.

Seeing that Bai Cangshu did not make her address him as master in front of everyone, Li Qingzi felt a slight sense of relief; she thought perhaps Bai Cangshu had summoned her to the Myanmar side for the sake of that upcoming major event.

Although she was in Gaoli, through the movements of the Yixin Society, she had also caught a glimpse of the impending conflict between the End Empire and the major powers of the real world.

Li Qingzi felt much more relaxed and stopped keeping a straight face, which made Lin Qinfu and the others breathe a sigh of relief; just a moment ago, they had thought the March Conglomerate was dissatisfied with the situation here.

As the biggest financiers, they naturally offered a round of flattery, constantly talking about the situation here.

Li Qingzi deliberately brought an interpreter; Reincarnators in the space had no language barriers due to the existence of the permanent Specialty 【Language Proficiency】, but in the real world, if one did not actively acquire the relevant ability, communication would still be a problem.

Li Qingzi could certainly find someone to activate language proficiency, but out of selfishness, she never mentioned this matter.

At this moment, the interpreter she brought acted as a middleman, isolating her from Bai Cangshu.

Others did not know the details and just thought it was normal; only Bai Cangshu saw through the woman's thoughts like a blazing fire.

After a banquet where both host and guest were happy, Du Enqin wanted to use the advantage of being a woman to build a connection with Li Qingzi, but Lin Qinfu tugged on Du Enqin's clothes under the table.

Only then did Du Enqin notice that the way Bai Laoda was looking at Miss Li was incredibly unrestrained.

Her heart trembled, and she immediately used the excuse that the banquet was over and that the people here needed to rest, intending to take the locals away.

Lin Qinfu also took the opportunity to say that his injuries needed recovery, choosing to leave.

The large banquet table was soon left with only Bai Cangshu and Li Qingzi.

Bai Cangshu stood up with a smile on his lips.

He looked at Li Qingzi and said,

"Li Qingzi, you may not realize it, but the more you struggle like this, the more it benefits me."

The interpreter with the high ponytail heard Bai Cangshu's words and was somewhat surprised; this guy did not seem to respect Miss Li, and she was still hesitating on how to choose her wording for the translation—should she modify it into more respectful terms, or translate it directly?

Just then, she saw that tall, handsome man walk up to Li Qingzi, pinch Miss Li's chin, and lift it, revealing her smooth neck.

This action clearly crossed the line, and the two bodyguards standing by the door immediately moved, but Li Qingzi raised her hand, stopping the two from drawing their guns.

Bai Cangshu did not look at those people at all; he simply stroked Li Qingzi's smooth neck and continued downward, feeling the skin on the woman's neck rise in goosebumps again; the woman's trembling sensation gave him immense pleasure.

【Sin Karma Sequence Synchronization Rate updated, Lust Sin synchronization rate: 21%】

Not enough, still not enough!

Bai Cangshu pulled upward with force, and Li Qingzi stood up involuntarily; she subconsciously tensed her body, and the white tablecloth in front of her was instantly sliced open.

Her breathing began to change.

Bai Cangshu, however, wrapped one arm around her waist and walked outward.

"What... exactly are you trying to do..."

In broken Dongxia language—this was not the effect of language proficiency, but the language Li Qingzi herself had mastered—her tone was somewhat flustered.

Bai Cangshu looked back at the bewildered interpreter and the two equally dazed bodyguards, and led the woman toward the elevator.

"I want you to assist my cultivation~"

Li Qingzi's heartbeat could no longer be suppressed, thumping violently; many thoughts flashed through her mind, but the slave restriction made her head ache as if it would split whenever she thought of resisting or attacking Bai Cangshu.

Finally, she was brought into a room; her thoughts returned to her body, and she suddenly thought she could use the intelligence she had previously obtained to attract Bai Cangshu's attention, so she immediately spoke,

"I received news from the Blue House that the Meilijian Freedom Federation seems to be preparing a nuclear strike on a certain area in the Nan Taipingyang; that is likely the counterattack they are preparing for the 【End Sun】, we..."

Rip!

The exquisite black suit was no tougher than white paper in Bai Cangshu's hands.

Li Qingzi turned around, covering only a bit of her clothing in front; there was no longer any of the coldness or Arrogance in her expression that Bai Cangshu had seen when they first met, but instead, a bit more fear and a pitiful, delicate appearance.

"We should pay attention to the movements of Dongxia; perhaps they will also launch an operation in the Myanmar region..."

She forced herself to stay calm, still wanting to use the Intelligence of the Reincarnator to attract Bai Cangshu's attention, but Bai Cangshu was currently overjoyed because of that sense of pleasure and the rise in synchronization rate.

Rip!

With another tear, Li Qingzi no longer had the strength to resist and was pushed down onto the bed in despair.
