Chapter 317: Chapter 314: The First Strategy [Additional Chapter for Alliance Hierarch [Wang Wangshun’s Reverse Seal Thought]]_1

Qin Shou asked, "Senior, what is the price of the Liancheng you mentioned?"

Ying cracked a smile, revealing a row of yellow teeth as he chuckled, "What do you think?"

Qin Shou was taken aback.

Dog Xiaotian said, "If you ask me, a city in the human realm is worth no more than a hundred and eighty Red Spirit Crystals. If the small shop’s dozen or so are included, how about I give you a hundred Red Spirit Crystals?"

Ying laughed, "Whatever you say it is."

Dog Xiaotian was overjoyed and said, "Rabbit, what are you waiting for? Pay up!"

Qin Shou, however, didn’t move. Instead, he thought it over and over and finally sighed. He opened the Black Demon Box, took out a Xumi Bag, and placed it in front of the old man, saying, "I might not be a good person, but I can’t bring myself to deceive a respectable elderly man. This is all I have—more than one hundred million Red Spirit Crystals, all here. Please take good care of it, sir!"

Dog Xiaotian was startled, "Rabbit, have you gone mad?"

Qin Shou shook his head, "Not mad. Money, if it’s gone, can be earned again. But some things are about the future. The senior is right; to him, this is nothing more than a doorstop. But for me... if these crystals can buy that cultivation technique, then it’s worth it."

Ying chuckled without any pretense, his withered and wrinkled right hand grabbing the money bag and tucking it away. Then, with his left hand, he pushed the secret manual towards Qin Shou, saying, "I knew it, you’re the honest one. That dog is too sly; better not to come in the future."

Upon hearing this, Dog Xiaotian’s face went red, and he said, "Senior, I’m not being sly. I’m just bargaining with you... If everything had the same price in the world, that would be too boring, wouldn’t it?"

Ying ignored him, looking at Qin Shou and saying, "Take it and go."

After speaking, Ying picked up the oil lamp, slowly stood up, and then went down the mountain.

"Senior, where are you going?" Qin Shou asked.

Ying looked up at the sky and said, "It gets dark early here, and some things get restless. I’m going to take a look..."

Meanwhile, Ying had already walked away, shuffling his feet.

Dog Xiaotian pulled the rabbit closer and exclaimed, "Rabbit! Are you insane? You’ve given him all that money? Couldn’t you at least leave us some for a drink?"

Qin Shou laughed, "Money, you can’t bring it with you to life or take it with you in death. Why do you care so much about it? For me, what I have in my hand now, that’s my life... Let’s go. Today I, the Rabbit Lord, am happy. I’ll treat you to a feast!"

Dog Xiaotian chuckled, "You’re treating me to a feast? Do you have any money?"

Qin Shou said, "I haven’t seen Master in a long time..."

Dog Xiaotian’s eyes lit up and he laughed, "Oh... I almost forgot about that. Rabbit, come on, I’ll drive. I can go faster."

Immediately after, a white carriage soared into the sky, heading straight for the Heavenly Court.

Meanwhile, halfway up the mountain, the stooped old man holding the oil lamp slowly looked up at the sky. His hazy eyes were not clear if they could make out the carriage flying past overhead as he murmured, "Did I sell it for too little?"

"You lost out," a hoarse, deep voice came from inside the old man’s clothing.

Ying asked, "Lost out?"

The hoarse, deep voice said, "That rabbit is burdened with karma; no one dares teach him a cultivation technique. Aren’t you afraid of poking a hole in the sky by doing this? This karma is too great... Is that bit of money enough to buy a coffin?"

Ying however, was indifferent, "Back then, during the Zhulu, I was merely a minor soldier, weak in body; everyone protected me. In that battle, everyone died... those who protected me died before my eyes. I died then...

"The me after the Zhulu, living, dead, is there a big difference?"

The hoarse voice said, "At least, you can guard them. Otherwise, what would be left here? Have you forgotten the past?"

A glint of cold light flashed in Ying’s eyes, followed by a long sigh, "Forget it... Let’s not mention it... Let’s go, let’s go..."

With each utterance of "let’s go," it sounded like a soul-summoning curse, as the figure grew more and more distant.

Qin Shou sat in the carriage, eager to open the book in his hands. He didn’t know what kind of beast skin was used to make it, but although it was ancient, when he held it, it was surprisingly heavy. As he opened it, the pages were clean, and the writing clear, showing no signs of age.

But none of that mattered. What was important was that this was indeed the first strategy from the "Nine Strategies of the Empyrean Heaven," the Heaven Equalizing Strategy!

The Heaven Equalizing Strategy, its opening sentence was: "If the heavens are not fair, I shall make them so!"

Upon reading this, Qin Shou’s eyes reddened as he exclaimed, "Mad! Truly f*cking mad!"

As he kept reading, Qin Shou got more and more excited, more and more stirred up, and more and more admiring!

His admiration for the Empyrean Fairy, the teacher of emperors who created "Nine Strategies of the Empyrean Heaven," was boundless.

Because once the Heaven Equalizing Strategy was cultivated to its limit, it was said it could bring all mediocre talents and all demons to the same starting line!

That was truly terrifying!

After all, turning the miraculous into the miraculous is nothing special, but turning the decayed into the miraculous is truly remarkable!

Of course, Qin Shou also understood that the mediocrity mentioned in the Heaven Equalizing Strategy was not ordinary mediocrity, because cultivating it required certain conditions. Not to mention anything else, there were extremely high demands on the toughness of the physical body, and ordinary people simply could not cultivate it.

Thus, Qin Shou figured that the mediocrity mentioned here, when placed in a crowd, would still belong to the ranks of the talented...

However, none of this was a problem because Qin Shou discovered that he could cultivate it, and that was enough for him.

Additionally, the Heaven Equalizing Strategy came with an attached Technique of Transformation, which Qin Shou examined carefully; this technique was named "Zhuyan Change of the Nine Changes of the Empyrean Heaven"!

Upon seeing this, Qin Shou’s eyes immediately lit up.

Having grown up watching "Journey to the West," what he most looked forward to wasn’t the Monkey wielding his staff to beat people up, but to see what new things Sun Wukong could transform into; he always felt that was true magic.

As a result, Qin Shou had always harbored a little dream of transformation. Unfortunately, up until now, the only thing he had mastered was the damn dog transformation technique!

But now, finally having a new transformation, his interest was piqued.

Qin Shou didn’t bother with Dog Xiaotian; with time pressing, he couldn’t cultivate the "Heaven Equalizing Strategy of the Nine Strategies of the Empyrean Heaven," but understanding a bit of the magic was still no problem.

"Zhuyan Change of the Nine Changes of the Empyrean Heaven" allowed one to transform into a giant war ape—Zhuyan!

Zhuyan, with its white fur and red fingertips, stood a thousand zhang high, possessed boundless strength, could uproot mountains and carry them on its back, leaping eighty thousand li in one go! Legend had it that Zhuyan was a ferocious beast, rarely seen, but whenever it appeared, it was a harbinger of war and strife under heaven.

But Qin Shou didn’t give a damn about that; this was just a technique of transformation, not the real Zhuyan itself. As long as it was awesome and could beat people up, that was all that mattered!

With this thought, Qin Shou immediately began to cross-leggedly try to cultivate it inside the carriage. To his surprise, as he began cultivating, he laughed. Indeed, as long as detailed instructions for the magic were provided, he found it easy to cultivate, picking it up very quickly!

"I’m f*cking genius!" laughed Qin Shou in his heart...

Meanwhile, Dog Xiaotian led Qin Shou straight to the Three Immortals Road. Upon entering the Three Immortals Road, they didn’t head to the Moon Palace but instead rushed straight into the Southern Gate.

Qin Shou snapped back to reality and asked, "Damn dog, where are we going?"
