Chapter 28: Powerlessness

Lin Chao obtained the Reincarnation Simulator; this was his third reincarnation.

In his first reincarnation, he reincarnated as a Qi Refiner.

Of course, just an ordinary Qi Refiner.

In the end, he was taken into the palace by the Sun Emperor of Great Jing to refine the Longevity Pill.

According to the experience of the simulated reincarnation.

He worked his heart out in the Sun Palace and eventually refined two fake Longevity Pills.

Although they were Longevity Pills, they actually had major flaws.

Moreover, they could not truly grant immortality.

Of course, extending one's lifespan was absolutely no problem.

If Lin Chao remembered correctly, he had fallen off a cliff to his death back then.

Could it be that the two semi-finished Longevity Pills he refined were left behind in the outside world?

"Rumor has it that a Qi Refiner refined a Longevity Pill, which was eventually lost and picked up by a woman," Zhang Daolin said, a solemn expression on his face. "And that woman is now suspected to be in Beiling City.

The purpose of our Beihan Hall coming here is to cooperate with Taiqing Palace to capture that woman.

We are currently investigating her identity and have already found some clues.

Once the people from Taiqing Palace arrive tomorrow, the intensity of the investigation will likely increase, and I fear it won't be long before we find her."

Mentioning these things, Zhang Daolin was filled with worry.

She took out a portrait, in which there was a middle-aged woman with above-average looks.

"Therefore, the most important thing now is for you to quickly find this woman and take her away."

Listening to Zhang Daolin's words and looking at the portrait above, Lin Chao was slightly stunned.

"I have seen her."

This woman is quite famous in Beiling City.

She is the wife of Ma Wanqian, the richest man in Beiling.

However, Ma Wanqian died of a sudden illness just after marrying her.

This woman thus became the richest widow in Beiling City.

She has always covered her face with a veil, and very few people have seen her true appearance.

However, by chance once, Lin Chao caught a fleeting glimpse of this woman's face.

Of course, the two had no formal interaction.

"You know her?" Zhang Daolin was excited upon hearing this. "You must hide her quickly."

He did not ask who this woman was.

It was meaningless, and it also avoided misunderstandings.

"Mm." Lin Chao nodded.

Naturally, he would not hand this woman over to Cang Jun.

He was still in the simulated life, and the enemy of his family in this lifetime was Cang Jun.

If he wanted to obtain a high rating, he would likely have to kill Cang Jun.

He would naturally not hand over this woman, who was suspected of having the Longevity Pill, to Cang Jun.

However, he was indeed interested in meeting this woman.

He wanted to see what kind of effect the Longevity Pill he had refined with his own hands actually had.

"Sigh..." However, Zhang Daolin's expression was still not very good at this moment. "The mandate of heaven is with Cang; even if we luckily keep the Longevity Pill from falling into Cang Jun's hands, we will still..."

Zhang Daolin's face was filled with incomparable disappointment and desolation.

Everyone knew of Cang Jun's licentiousness and debauchery.

In this world, the people at the bottom are the easiest to satisfy.

As long as they are given a bite to eat and don't starve to death, they can struggle to survive.

However, Great Cang simply does not give people a way to live.

In any dynasty, a regime like Great Cang would almost certainly be replaced.

Unfortunately, this is Great Cang.

This is Great Cang, which is favored by the mandate of heaven.

Hundreds of peasant uprisings occur every year, along with countless assassinations by chivalrous warriors.

No matter how powerful an empire is, it cannot withstand such turmoil.

Yet Cang Jun still lives on perfectly well.

Zhang Daolin knew that their hope of defeating Cang Jun was very slim, but he still did not want to give up.

Zhang Daolin even wished that the Twelve Strange Treasures had not descended from the sky.

Beihan Hall was merely a local powerful clan, after all.

In that case, the Zhang Family would not have suffered such humiliation; the great Zhang Family could not even protect its own wives and daughters.

The world would also not be in such a state of misery.

In the past, even if the Zhang Family did not have its current supernatural status.

Even if there were emperors, they would still treat the Zhang Family with courtesy.

"Human effort can change things." Lin Chao appeared relatively calm.

Although he felt that this simulated world was exactly the same as the real one, or perhaps it was even real.

At the time, his mindset still inevitably felt a bit like he was just playing through life.

He was now caught in a train of thought, or a paradox.

What if he changed history?

Or rather, was it he who created history?
