Chapter 92: The Lecher with Something in His Head (6k)

Zhou Qing reacted immediately and hurriedly said, "It's nothing."

"Still saying it's nothing? I heard everything. You go into the grotto-heaven once, turn that key, and get a hard-earned fee of five mid-grade spirit stones?" Yan Xiaohu said, shocked.

Zhou Qing felt a bit embarrassed: "It's not like that. Last time I was given two, this time it's five. Didn't you say you'd been in before? You should know how exhausting it is, not to mention there are wandering souls now."

After hearing this, Yan Xiaohu covered his face and then downed a cup of wine in one gulp.

"I toil for days just to earn ten mid-grade spirit stones with great difficulty, and you go in once, taking less than two or three hours, and five are already in your pocket? You even consolidated your cultivation base by borrowing the gravity. With a brain like that, you still want me to take you to make money?"

Yan Xiaohu grabbed Zhou Qing's hand: "Junior Brother, take me in next time too. I don't want five, three will do."

"Sure, but every time the Supreme Elder comes, you run away, and you're the fast kind too," Zhou Qing said with a half-smile.

Yan Xiaohu's hand couldn't help but tremble.

He had only been thinking about making money and had forgotten the group of people who had caused him psychological trauma.

"Forget it then," Yan Xiaohu gave up on the spot.

Then, looking at Zhou Qing's inquisitive eyes, he said: "If we want to make money, we have to rely on the help of noble people. Take me, for example; the reason I was able to earn so much money this time is, frankly, because of the Seventh Prince's competition with the various peaks."

"You're the same; you rely on the needs of Supreme Elder Duanmu Shu, so you have to find a noble person."

When Yan Xiaohu said this, his eyes couldn't help but light up.

"But then again, there are actually two good ways to make money right now."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Qing asked quickly.

Yan Xiaohu said: "The first is still that Seventh Prince, Xuan Yuan Yichen. He recently brought out some old items to see if anyone here recognizes them. If someone knows them and can explain their origins, there will definitely be a generous reward."

"Before, we thought this guy was publicly insulting us for being ignorant, until several Peak Masters saw them and couldn't say anything either. Only then did we realize he had obtained those items by accident and wanted to know their uses."

Zhou Qing was thoughtful and even more tempted.

Don't forget, he has 【Daily Identification】.

Yan Xiaohu continued: "There's another one, and that is Xianyou Xianyou Xianzi Xuanyou of the Qingyu Qingshu Qingshu Xian Zong. Don't look at her age; she is still a woman after all. If you give her one or two items, she might reward you with something, which you can easily exchange for money."

"Isn't Si Kong Yan of the Cangyan Dao Palace pursuing her? He sent her many things, but she didn't want them. In the end, he had no choice but to convert them into spirit stones and send them back. The Qingyu Qingshu Qingshu Xian Zong is actually quite wealthy."

"I have inside information that Xianyou Xianyou Xianzi Xuanyou will come to visit our Taiqingmen in a few days. Heaven knows what's wrong with that old woman, running over here so often lately. When the time comes, you just take something over, and she will definitely accept it and then give you a reward."

"After all, no matter what, she won't reject the face of us juniors, not to mention that we brothers saved Cui Yingying and the others."

After listening to Yan Xiaohu's words, Zhou Qing felt some resistance in his heart.

This could be considered moral kidnapping.

The first way to make money was better.

"I'm going to Shenyue Peak. I want to see what good things this Seventh Prince has brought," Zhou Qing said, standing up.

Yan Xiaohu couldn't help but smile: "Several knowledgeable Peak Masters, plus your learned Zhou Shixiong here, don't recognize those things. What could you possibly know? I suspect that those items have probably already been seen by people from the Shengwu Dynasty."

Zhou Qing smiled slightly: "That's not necessarily true. Didn't you say that the various forces in the Imperial Capital are intricate and complex? The competition between the princes is particularly fierce. Perhaps these items cannot see the light of day, and he has almost never taken them out since obtaining them."

Yan Xiaohu thought about it and felt that these words made a lot of sense, which is why this Seventh Prince had come to this remote place of Taiqingmen to try his luck.

"Fine, then I want to see if you can make money from that guy by guessing blindly!"

Yan Xiaohu also became interested, and then he took Zhou Qing straight towards Shenyue Peak.

…………

Shenyue Peak!

When Zhou Qing arrived at Xuan Yuan Yichen's residence, he saw Du Kui and Luo Xue standing outside, whispering about something.

Zhou Qing's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that Senior Uncle Gao Xuan was also there today?

"Junior Brother Yan, Junior Brother Zhou, why are you here?"

Seeing Zhou Qing and Yan Xiaohu, the two greeted them with a smile.

"Greetings, Zhou Shixiong Du, Senior Sister Luo!" The two bowed.

Other things aside, at the very least, Du Kui and Luo Xue had saved his and Lu Yaoyao's lives at a critical moment.

Otherwise, at that time, they would have definitely been beaten to death by Yin Xiao of the Cangyan Taoist Palace.

Therefore, Zhou Qing was very grateful to the two of them.

"We came to try our luck. Is Senior Uncle Gao inside?" Zhou Qing asked.

Du Kui nodded and said: "Yes, he's been inside for a while. We don't recognize those things either, so we won't humiliate ourselves. We just came out for some air."

Hearing this, Zhou Qing became even more curious.

Yan Xiaohu glanced at Zhou Qing, knowing that even now, the fourth one still harbored doubts and vigilance towards this Senior Uncle Gao Xuan, and was so afraid that he had even taken back his soul lamp.

At this moment, he coughed dryly and said: "Fine, since Senior Uncle Gao is also there, let's come back another day..."

"Since you're here, come in!"

Before Yan Xiaohu could finish his sentence, Gao Xuan's voice sounded in the air.

After a brief hesitation, Zhou Qing nodded at Yan Xiaohu.

Some things have to be faced. Being timid would only arouse his suspicion.

What's more, when the Deputy Director of the Spirit Field Division attacked them, it was he who saved the two of them.

Subsequently, the two stepped inside.

After entering the residence, they saw Gao Xuan standing in front of a long table, looking at something with a thoughtful expression.

And opposite him were the Seventh Prince, Xuan Yuan Yichen, and the Ninth Princess, Xuan Yuan Muqian.

Besides them, Lu Yaoyao and Li Daoxuan were also there.

"Zhou Shixiong Zhou, you're here too!"

Seeing Zhou Qing enter, Lu Yaoyao immediately ran over happily.

Seeing this, Li Daoxuan glanced at the two of them with annoyance, then stopped talking and looked at Senior Uncle Gao Xuan.

He didn't know if they would be able to recognize them this time.

To this day, the three items brought out by this Seventh Prince had not been recognized by anyone in the entire Taiqingmen, and even two Supreme Elders had come, which was truly a bit embarrassing.

Of course, two more overconfident people had come now.

At this moment, the Seventh Prince and the Ninth Princess nodded politely to the two of them.

The entire residence was filled with a heavy and solemn atmosphere, but for some reason, Zhou Qing wanted to laugh.

The talent skill 【Heart Identification Vision】 had bound a total of eight people, and now half of them were gathered here.

Four golden term annotations were floating brightly above their heads.

After a long time, Gao Xuan sighed and shook his head.

Obviously, he didn't recognize them either.

Of course, this was normal. After all, this world was too big. Let alone ordinary people, some cultivators had never even stepped out of the Level 4 cultivation country they lived in.

Not to mention that outside the Shengwu Dynasty, there were countless mysterious countries of the same level.

Seeing this, Xuan Yuan Yichen was slightly disappointed.

Subsequently, Gao Xuan looked at Zhou Qing and the other, a smile appearing on his face, and said: "Since you're here, come over and take a look."

Zhou Qing and Yan Xiaohu had no choice but to step forward.

After bowing first, the two looked over.

There were a total of three items placed on the table.

The first was a black portal only half a meter in size. The material of the door was neither gold nor wood, and there were faint dark patterns on the surface.

At the four corners of the gate, four ghost statues with different shapes were carved.

The first ghost statue was hunched and skinny, as if it had been tortured by hunger and pain for a long time. Its face had only one eye emitting a miserable green light, which was particularly conspicuous. Its long nails were like sharp blades, tightly gripping the corner of the door, as if ready to pounce on any living creature that approached at any time.

The second ghost statue was covered in black scales, like a fierce beast that had crawled out from the depths of hell. Its mouth was wide open, revealing sharp fangs, and a low roar seemed to be faintly coming from its mouth. A pair of blood-red eyes were filled with the desire for violence and killing.

The third and fourth ghost statues were somewhat similar, but one was a bit illusory and transparent, as if it were condensed from smoke, which was quite strange.

And the other was directly a mass of black mist that kept rolling and surging, faintly flashing with an eerie light.

You must know that these were clearly just sculpted, yet they gave people a lifelike feeling.

The second item was a piece of yellow paper. Its color was not pure yellow, but a dark golden hue like the afterglow at the edge of the sky at dusk.

Its edges were cut very neatly, and on the four corners, four small and exquisite official hat patterns were drawn. This style of official hat had never been seen before.

The last one was a black long needle as wide as an ordinary person's index finger. The needle body was entirely an eerie dark gray, as if it had been placed in a dark corner for a long time.

At the tail of the needle, there were faint dark red patterns like blood threads. These patterns were winding and tortuous, as if eerie blood was flowing in the needle body, which might seep out at any time.

Soon, Zhou Qing rubbed his eyes. After looking at these three items for a long time, he actually felt a bit nauseous and wanted to vomit.

This item is ominous!

This was Zhou Qing's first feeling.

"Little Brother Zhou, how do you find it?" Xuan Yuan Yichen asked out of politeness.

After all, this was the Junior Brother of that guy Ghost Mastiff. Of course, he didn't hold any expectations.

As for Yan Xiaohu with the round head and small eyes next to him, he had already seen it a few days ago.

At this time, Zhou Qing frowned, and then cast his gaze on the second piece of yellow paper.

This item was somewhat similar to talisman paper. However, Senior Uncle Gao Xuan was a master of talisman making, and the Thunder-Drawing Talisman even came from his hand, yet he didn't recognize this item, which showed that this thing was definitely not simple.

Subsequently, Zhou Qing immediately performed 【Daily Identification】.

Soon, a piece of information was fed back from the talisman paper.

【Huang Guan Paper: Huang Guan Paper is also called Life-Buying Paper. If you write someone else's name on it with a Huang Guan Pen and burn it together with anything that person has touched, it can reduce their lifespan by half. Of course, if the writer's luck cannot overcome the other party, they may suffer a backlash, and what is consumed is their own lifespan.】

Looking at the introduction above, Zhou Qing was a bit shocked.

Half of their lifespan?

This is too terrifying. Is there such an eerie item in the world?

It seems that his knowledge is still too little.

Subsequently, Zhou Qing pretended to be thoughtful and kept staring at the second piece of yellow paper.

"I don't recognize the others, but I seem to have seen this yellow paper in some ancient book before. Yes, I must have seen it. Let me think."

Zhou Qing said while tapping his forehead with his hand, trying to recall.

And hearing this, everyone looked at Zhou Qing in disbelief.

Everyone in the entire Taiqingmen doesn't recognize it, and you have actually seen it?

Is it true or false?

Xuan Yuan Yichen immediately looked nervous and expectant, not daring to make the slightest sound, for fear of disturbing Zhou Qing's thoughts.

Gao Xuan also looked at Zhou Qing in surprise, and then a smile appeared on his face.

A moment later, Zhou Qing looked at the Seventh Prince and asked curiously: "Brother Yichen, I have one thing I don't understand. You don't recognize these things yourself. If I just say a name, wouldn't you be unable to distinguish the truth from the false?"

Hearing this, Xuan Yuan Yichen smiled slightly.

"You don't need to worry about this. We have our own ways to distinguish the truth."

Seeing this, Zhou Qing didn't want to say anything more, but continued to recall.

"Where have I seen it? It seems I'm about to remember." Zhou Qing said while secretly looking at Yan Xiaohu.

And made a mouth shape to him.

At this moment, Yan Xiaohu was full of regret.

He was really too stupid. Since no one recognized this thing, with his erudition and knowledge, he could have completely made it up. Wouldn't the spirit stones have been easily obtained then?

It was really a waste of such a round head. Why didn't he think of it?

The fourth one still has a way.

At this time, seeing Zhou Qing's mouth shape, he understood it even more.

Don't forget why the two of them came here.

Subsequently, Yan Xiaohu stepped forward and said: "By the way, Brother Yichen, if my fourth brother can accurately say the name of this item, then on your side..." Yan Xiaohu said while laughing and rubbing his hands.

Xuan Yuan Yichen understood immediately and said: "If you can say its name, at least thirty mid-grade spirit stones."

Hearing this reward, Zhou Qing and Yan Xiaohu's pupils shrank immediately.

My goodness, so many?

As expected of a rich person.

Under everyone's gaze, Zhou Qing soon pretended that his eyes lit up, and then clapped his hands.

"I remembered. Let me see if it's right? Yes, yes, it should be it." Zhou Qing muttered to himself.

Xuan Yuan Yichen couldn't help but swallow his saliva, full of expectation.

At this time, Zhou Qing finally spoke: "This item is called Huang Guan Paper, also known as Life-Buying Paper. You need to write someone else's name on it with the corresponding Huang Guan Pen..."

After listening to Zhou Qing's words, everyone was shocked.

What an eerie item. If there were two hostile big shots who had lived for a long time, and one of them obtained this Huang Guan Paper and could withstand the backlash of luck, wouldn't it be easy to kill the other party?

And the other party probably wouldn't know what happened until they died.

And Xuan Yuan Yichen was thoughtful, then glanced behind the screen, and soon there seemed to be some movement coming from there.

At this time, Gao Xuan was also staring at the yellow paper, and a look of expectation actually flashed in his eyes.

【Heart Identification Point +9】

Lu Yaoyao looked at Zhou Qing with admiration, and the 【What a Pity】 annotation on her head soon changed to 【So Amazing】.

【Heart Identification Point +7】

Li Daoxuan looked at Zhou Qing suspiciously, but what he said sounded quite like the real thing.

Damn it, he got to show off this time.

But no matter what, someone finally said a name, otherwise the long-standing Taiqingmen would really have been a bit embarrassed this time.

And the 【Lecher Who Traffics People】 on his head also changed to 【Lecher with Something in His Head】.

【Heart Identification Point +8】

Yan Xiaohu on the side looked at Zhou Qing with a serious face, and the regret in his eyes became even stronger.

He knew better than anyone how much ink was in the fourth one's stomach.

Let alone whether it was true or false, at the very least, his saying this picked up the face that had been thrown on the ground for Old Mo, for Little Spirit Peak, and for the entire Taiqingmen.

At the very least, my Taiqingmen has someone who recognizes it, right?

Sigh, it's still because my skin is too thin and I didn't dare to talk nonsense.

It's fortunate that I often keep the fourth one by my side and have always taught by example.

And the 【Junior Brother Who Is Red Near Vermilion】 on his head also quickly changed to 【Junior Brother Who Has Half My Brain】.

Seeing this new term, Zhou Qing's face twitched.

Third Zhou Shixiong, oh Third Zhou Shixiong, you really are...

For a moment, he actually didn't know what word to use to describe it.

【Heart Identification Point +7】

The next moment, another prompt sound rang out.

Subsequently, Zhou Qing saw that the 【Doll Who Missed the Opportunity】 on Senior Uncle Gao Xuan's head changed to 【Doll Who Knows How to Act】.

Zhou Qing was stunned.

But soon he understood.

That's right, a problem that the entire Taiqingmen was helpless about was finally solved by a hairy kid. Who could easily believe it?

They would rather believe that the Peak Master of Little Spirit Peak, Mo Xingjian, recognized this item but gave this opportunity to show off to his little disciple.

Yes, this is the most reasonable explanation.

However, thinking this way is actually quite good.

Just when Xuan Yuan Muqian was curiously looking at Zhou Qing, her brother Xuan Yuan Yichen next to her seemed to have heard some news and looked incredulous.

Subsequently, he hurriedly picked up the yellow paper to look at it, and then was full of excitement.

"Brother Zhou, thank you so much. A small token of appreciation, please don't refuse!"

Xuan Yuan Yichen was full of excitement and immediately took out thirty mid-grade spirit stones and handed them over.

Zhou Qing took them with a smile and said: "Brother Yichen, you should still verify it again. I don't know if I remembered it correctly."

"No mistake, no mistake. I just don't know in which ancient book Brother Zhou saw the relevant introduction to this Huang Guan Paper?" Xuan Yuan Yichen asked hurriedly.

Zhou Qing shook his head: "I really forgot about this. Before I joined Taiqingmen, I seemed to have just taken a casual look at some book stall."

After hearing this, Xuan Yuan Yichen felt very disappointed.

"Then what about these two?" Soon, he pointed to the other two with expectation again.

Zhou Qing shook his head: "I don't remember. Let me go back and think about it carefully. Maybe I'll remember it tomorrow."

Hearing that there was hope, Xuan Yuan Yichen's eyes welcomed hope again.

"Good, good, then you go back and think about it carefully. No rush, no rush." It could be seen that Xuan Yuan Yichen was very happy.

Zhou Qing nodded. Since he had taken the money, it was time to withdraw.

"Oh my, I suddenly remembered!" Just at this moment, Yan Xiaohu next to him suddenly let out a loud shout, which gave everyone a big fright.

Everyone looked at him in unison.

Only to see Yan Xiaohu with a sudden realization, hurriedly came to the first item, looked at the small black door and said: "So it was it. Look at my brain."

"Brother Yan, do you know it?" Xuan Yuan Yichen became excited again and asked hurriedly.

Yan Xiaohu nodded, then said with a solemn face: "This item is called Black Spirit Gate. It is rumored to have been refined by a certain great power. It requires a special incantation to activate it. I heard that something extremely terrifying is sealed inside. As for what it is specifically, no one knows."

After hearing this, Xuan Yuan Yichen looked behind the screen again, then asked: "I don't know which great power it is?"

"I don't remember this clearly. Anyway, it's a very powerful person. As for the incantation, it has long been lost. It's a pity!"

Yan Xiaohu's words were full of regret.

After listening, everyone was half-believing, and even Gao Xuan couldn't help but take an extra look at this tiger-headed and tiger-brained boy.

Zhou Qing was full of admiration.

As expected of his Third Zhou Shixiong, he is truly learned and knowledgeable.

He relied on cheating to recognize it, while he relied on his daily accumulation.

It's really shameful!

"It should be true, I won't remember it wrong. Alright, Old Four and I still have things to do, you here..."

Subsequently, Yan Xiaohu stretched out his hand embarrassedly and signaled.

Xuan Yuan Yichen pondered for a while, and soon, he seemed to have received a voice transmission from behind the screen, full of disappointment.

Then he looked at Yan Xiaohu with a bit of regret and said: "Sorry, there is no such thing."

Yan Xiaohu was stunned, then laughed awkwardly.

"Oh, then it's very likely that I remembered it wrong, but this thing is really very similar to that Black Spirit Gate. By the way, can I ask, how do you know that what I said is not true?" Yan Xiaohu asked curiously.

Xuan Yuan Yichen smiled slightly: "Secret!"

"Understand, understand. Then you guys get busy, we have things to do, so we'll leave first!" After Yan Xiaohu finished speaking, he gave Zhou Qing a wink and then hurried away.

Only Gao Xuan on the side shook his head slightly.

Last time he took them to Jinyang Peak, he heard Du Kui say that after he got the Thunder-Drawing Talisman for Zhou Qing, this guy opened his mouth and said that he had also given them two Flame-Explosion Talismans for free.

Thanks to Du Kui keeping an eye on it and saying he wanted to ask him, this guy hurriedly said he remembered it wrong.

Too thick-skinned.

Subsequently, he also followed the trend and looked at the screen, looking thoughtful.

…………

"No, why can you talk nonsense, but I can't? Is my face not big enough?"

Yan Xiaohu was very angry and touched his round face.

Zhou Qing was stunned. Only then did he realize that the Third Zhou Shixiong was making it up. It was a pity that he had just admired him so much.

"That, Third Zhou Shixiong, how about we go to the Jade Meal Hall on the way?" Seeing Yan Xiaohu's unhappy face, Zhou Qing suggested.

After all, being able to earn so much money today was thanks to the information provided by the Third Zhou Shixiong, otherwise where would he have known.

Yan Xiaohu looked at Zhou Qing carefully, and suddenly seemed to have thought of something.

"Not going, this meal is owed first. I have something to do, so I'll leave first!" After Yan Xiaohu finished speaking, he immediately flew away on his sword.

Zhou Qing looked at his hurriedly departing back with full of doubts.

When Zhou Qing returned home, he first fed the old hen some spirit stone powder, and just as he was about to continue studying the "Canglei Sword Art", the prompt sound rang out in his mind again.

【Heart Identification Point +8】

Zhou Qing blinked.

Who is it?

…………

"Master, you must have recognized them all, right? As expected of my beloved Master. The first limelight has already been let Old Four have, so give me the rest. Both palms and backs of the hands are flesh, you can't be biased."

At this very moment, Yan Xiaohu was following behind Mo Xingjian, muttering and begging.
