Or some other word

Many matching words flashed through Jianchou's mind, but in the end, no conclusion was reached.

Even if you know not just half a word but the whole thing, I'm afraid it will be of no use.

How can you piece together the whole picture if you only get a glimpse of it

She tried to restore the words on the window paper based on the traces left on it, but the window paper did not react at all. It seemed that it was not so easy to do this in the Polar Region.

Apart from this, the only way to see these words is to reverse time.

But that had already exceeded Jianchou's ability.

She stood quietly in front of the blank window paper, her expression somewhat complicated.

only…

And no regrets.

There is a mysterious connection between this person and Xie Buchen, the owner of the house, and even her. It is obvious that even after searching his memory, Chou still couldn't guess who the person who left the message was.

Is it the homeowner who is cheating, or is it this person who is cheating

It is also difficult to distinguish.

One is the threat directly from outside the door, danger is about to break in, and her life is at stake;

One is the mysterious words coming from inside the door, which will not cause any harm to her in the short term.

Jianchou had already been skeptical about the matter in this house. Even if she was given another chance, she would not choose to push the door and take a look at that time.

With a soft sigh, Jianchou pushed open the two windows that were no longer unusual, and murmured, "Fish and bear's paw..."

The fragrance of a red plum blossom has become faint.

As she got closer, she could smell it, but it was mixed with another scent.

After pushing open the door, Jianchou frowned slightly, turned around and looked at the ground.

The three broken purple incense sticks were lying on the ground.

She bent down to pick them up one by one and put them in her palm. The fragrance became stronger.

"Aroma..."

With some doubt in his eyes, Jianchou carefully put them back into the narrow box, and then stuffed them directly into his Qiankun bag.

There is something strange and unusual about this house.

If the description on the window paper is true, the previous owner of this house must have been a very capable person, certainly not someone that the current Jianchou could hope to be.

There was only one thing she should think about right now -

Ding fight!

Nearly a hundred days have passed since the battle at Qingfeng Temple.

She has been trapped in this polar region for nearly a hundred days.

The magic axe that was connected to her mind was accidentally lost when she was seriously injured and exhausted. I'm afraid it has now been presented to King Qin Guang by Cui Jue.

Jianchou still has no idea how to get it back.

Taking back one's magic weapon from the hands of King Qin Guang of the First Hall is much more thrilling and exciting than pulling a tooth out of a tiger's mouth.

Jianchou couldn't help but start to consider it.

Leave the Polar Region, or take back the Ghost Axe

It seemed like a dilemma, but in fact, she only had one choice -

Leave the polar region.

If your cultivation is not good enough, trying to take back the Ghost Axe would be a way to your own death.

The mental connection between her and the Ghost Axe has not yet been broken, so she is not worried that Jiyu will use the Ghost Axe to cause trouble.

As long as she is alive, she will be the master of the Ghost Axe!

Even if King Qin Guang had great powers, he could not change the mind of Guifu.

As long as she can leave the Extreme Domain, she will have the most stable environment to practice. It is also part of her plan to return to the Extreme Domain one day and take back the Ghost Axe.

As for her original idea of spying on reincarnation, her child who died before he was born...

There was a hint of struggle in Jianchou's eyes.

There are only ten days left until the battle for the cauldron begins.

If she wanted to leave, she had to give up all the other things she was curious about and obsessed with.

Of course, this includes children.

Moreover, she found that her thoughts seemed to be affected in some way.

People rely on memory to survive in the world. Did the child who died know that she should have been his mother

Even if they knew, there was only a short period of fate between them.

If he had not become a ghost cultivator, entered the cycle of reincarnation, and washed away his past, his life would have been a blank slate.

What did it matter whether she was his mother or he was his child

Thinking about it this way, there seems to be a sense of melancholy.

It can be seen that Chou cannot control his thoughts.

She could only pace slowly in the study, and suddenly she felt the confusion of the previous owner of the study: people, reincarnation, and me.

For a moment, I fell into a trance.

It was not until it was dark outside that she took a firm step away from the window and went straight back to the desk.

There's no point in thinking more.

What should be done must be done. Instead of daydreaming, it is better to think about how to hold this good hand and win a beautiful victory for yourself.

I have been in seclusion for too long, and my strength seems to have improved to a certain extent, but my soul orb looks smaller than before, to an exaggerated extent.

Although the soul has not been repaired yet, it is much better than before.

In this case, the speed of cultivation should be faster than before.

However, even if it’s fast, it’s only ten days.

How can I quickly improve my strength within these ten days

Jianchou's mind started to work rapidly.

Use these ten days to practice hard

No thanks.

Even if Jianchou is a genius, what can he do in ten days

Ten days of building the foundation to thank the disloyalty

After all, that was also the foundation-building stage, and he had never been seen so powerful as to form a pill in ten days.

What's more, Jianchou still remembered what Cui Jue said when he left.

The lower her cultivation level is, the smaller her soul orb will be, and the better the effect will be after she enters the cauldron battle. This is the key to getting a good hand.

Therefore, cultivation is unreliable.

Jianchou quickly rejected this idea in his mind, and then a complete plan quickly emerged.

If internal skills don’t work, there are still external skills.

The strength of a cultivator depends most on his own cultivation, but besides cultivation, there are many other influencing factors.

There is a kind of monk in this world who is extremely annoying.

This kind of cultivator is called Gu Qingmei, also known as Chen Tingyan.

For ordinary monks with average backgrounds, it is best to treat them with respect and not provoke them.

For monks who have enough cultivation but are short of money, it is better to take a detour when they meet them, so as not to be so angry that they vomit blood by their wealth.

Their cultivation may not be that profound, nor their combat power may be that high, but the magic weapons they possess are as heavy as a thousand pounds, and they can be priceless just by throwing them away.

If someone wants to fight you to death, throw out your most powerful weapon, and you may be able to kill him by crossing the level.

In the past, although Jianchou did not think that they were inferior, he did not quite agree with this approach of neglecting the important for the trivial.

But now...

She aspires to be the best among them!

Magical weapon

Pill

Talisman

Formation

It’s no big deal!

Now Jianchou has nothing except a huge fortune!

Most of those who participated in the competition for the Extreme Domain Tripod were the best among various races. A good magic weapon worth thousands or even tens of thousands of black jades would be the most they could hope to get.

How rich can their family assets be

You know, Jianchou saved a lot of money from reselling Xiao Diao's stuff some time ago.

Moreover, when she was in seclusion a while ago, the short shopkeeper sent her a message, hoping to find a time to meet her. He would come all the way from Shanhai City to Wangsi City to trade with her.

At that time, Jianchou was busy refining the elixir and did not dare to be distracted, so he ignored it.

Now...

That's when something is missing!

Thinking of this, Jianchou simply cleaned out the useful things in his Qiankun bag.

One is of low level, which would not arouse suspicion when used in the polar region; one is of higher level, which might surprise people; and one is impossible to appear in the polar region, but might be able to kill the enemy and save one's life.

What was in there were mainly lethal and defensive magical weapons and talismans, while the pills were stored separately aside by her.

What remains is the formation.

Jianchou still had more than ten array plates in her bag, and placing spirit stones on them could form a new array. However, spirit stones were rare in the Extreme Domain, and if she showed them out too early, she would probably be torn to pieces before she even reached the eighteenth floor.

So, she pondered for a moment, turned her eyes to the bookshelf, and then she came up with an idea.

Those who plant trees will enjoy the shade.

The experienced ancients never deceived me.

Jianchou's eyes brightened in the blink of an eye.

With such a terrifying treasure trove here, are you still worried that you won’t be able to create an incredibly powerful formation

Even if she copied it, she could use the formation to kill a bunch of opponents!

and…

It seems that she hasn't finished reading these books yet.

What a waste to only look at one category, the formations

Who knows, there might be more amazing things.

The things in the Qiankun bag have been properly classified. All that remains is to use the formation to make the formation plate. Jianchou did not hesitate and walked towards the pile of books again.

There are only ten days left before the competition, and it is still unknown whether the game of the owner of the old house will succeed or not.

If it doesn't work, the other party might still be wandering around in some corner of the Nineteen Continents or the isolated island on earth.

This room full of books is the result of four hundred years of research by others. After studying them thoroughly, they were able to come up with a plan to conceal the truth.

Jianchou couldn't care less at the moment whether anyone had plotted against her.

Anyway, the book was placed here, so how could she still be polite to this cunning old master

Jianchou thought about it and took out the jade slip for communication and sent a message back to the short shopkeeper.

She informed him that she had come out of seclusion, but would participate in the Ding Competition, and the meeting and transaction must be within these ten days. She also asked him to bring some good things of sufficient quality from Pinzilou, which she would use to save her life in the Ding Competition.

After replying, Jianchou threw the jade slip back into his sleeve.

Now, while waiting for the other party to arrange a time for the transaction, all she needs to do is simple -

Read a book!

Just read books!

With Ding Zheng and his group, she may never come back to this house again. Who knows if she will have the chance to read these books again in the future

So, before leaving, she wanted to memorize the entire contents of this study!

Recording information on jade slips will certainly prevent you from forgetting it.

But the jade slip is an external object and problems may arise at any time.

Jianchou trusted the jade slip, but at this time he trusted his own head more.

After choosing a direction, she pulled out a book and read it quickly according to the order.

"Hua La La..."

The pages fluttered across my fingertips like fluttering black and white butterflies.

There was a gleam in Jianchou's eyes, and every word that passed through her eyes would leave a deep mark in her mind.

One, two, three...

Ten, twenty, thirty...

One hundred, two hundred, three hundred...

Day and night alternate, and light and shadow change.

The position where Jianchou stood to read gradually moved from the bookshelf near the window to the bookshelf near the door. After an unknown amount of time, he finally finished reading all the books in the room.

“Click.”

Another book was taken down by Jianchou.

This is the 2163rd book, which talks about the creation of a vicious talisman called "Soul Refining Strike". It is still the style of the previous owner of this house, and it records everything from its effects to the techniques and the reasons behind them, and even its weakened and advanced versions.

We remember things for the sake of remembering them, without asking whether they are suitable for us or not.

Therefore, the flipping speed is still very fast.

"Hua La La..."

Thirty or fifty pages passed in the blink of an eye, and soon I reached the last page.

The fingers that had been flipping for a long time finally stopped, and I felt a faint sense of fatigue that was about to become stiff.

Jianchou could hardly feel its existence.

She held the book in her hands and looked up. All the books on the left side of the bookshelf had been read by her, and the one in her hand was the last one.

Looking back at the entire study, the dim light from the sky shone in through the window, casting countless books in an unclear shadow.

Finished reading.

These three words appeared clearly in Jianchou's mind.

Five days and nights passed.

I can read ten lines at a glance and never forget everything I see.

Two thousand one hundred and sixty-three books have been memorized word for word.

This treasure trove belonging to the previous owner of the study was "stolen" by her into her own mind.

Nobody knows.

But she firmly believes that these 2,163 books will bring her endless help for a long time to come.

With stiff fingers, he stroked the rough cover of this last book.

Jianchou took one last look at it and did not dislike the overly vicious talisman recorded on it. He simply put it back to its original place with great care.

Perhaps, a long, long time later, the old owner of this house will welcome the "newcomer" he truly expects.

As for the burning of incense...

This incense is not like ordinary stuff.

The note only said "burn one stick of eucalyptus incense", but did not specify what kind of incense it should be.

If there was something strange about the three purple incense sticks, it was because the former owner of the item was insidious and cunning, and Jianchou took them away, causing the "game" that this person had carefully designed to fail. He reaped the consequences of his own actions, and his plan failed;

If the three purple incense sticks were not strange, lighting ordinary incense would achieve the same effect. It would not make any difference whether Jianchou was taken away or not.

After all, aren’t ordinary incense sticks available everywhere

Therefore, Jianchou felt no guilt about taking away those broken incense pieces.

I just wonder what expression the original owner of this thing would have if she found out what she had done one day

Jianchou felt a kind of evil anticipation in his heart, but he didn't waste too much time thinking about it.

After reading the book, she already had an idea of which formations she wanted to set up.

Fortunately, all ten formation plates, whether made of black jade or spirit stone, can produce the same effect.

At this moment, Jianchou did not study the principles of the formation. He just followed the instructions in the books in his memory and used several pieces of high-quality black jade to set up the formation.

They always take the most extreme path.

Either the attack power is extremely strong, or the defense is incredible.

The former prepared seven, and the latter prepared three. After all, in many cases, attack is defense and advance is retreat.

Without seeking to understand the details, he set up the ten array plates in just one day.

During this period, the short shopkeeper also came directly to Jianchou's house and made a secret deal with her. He bought away the materials that were left in Jianchou's hands, and also dumped out several "good things" that were jaw-droppingly expensive.

By the time the short shopkeeper left, Jianchou didn't have many black jades on him, but he was equipped with three killer weapons that could instantly kill a monk in the early stage of Jade Nirvana!

The next day, Zhang Tang came to visit.

He handed her a lucky bag and told her that he would pick her up in four days. For the first time ever, he helped Chen Tingyan pass on the news that they would take part in the second round together. He also gave her the second round test questions in advance before leaving.

Jianchou guessed that Cui Jue and others had spread the news that she was going to participate in the competition. When Chen Tingyan heard about it, he asked Zhang Tang to bring him the news.

As for why it is a piggyback...

Isn’t that simple

This Mr. Chen Si is a top-notch person who "cultivates by swallowing pills and protects himself by magic weapons". Seeing that a half-baked person like Jianchou has made crazy preparations for himself, he is afraid that he will not be much different.

Two more things means two more bargaining chips.

At least at this time, Jianchou felt that he could understand Chen Tingyan and sympathize with him.

The brocade bag given by Zhang Tang, with a black background and gold embroidery, is the same thing as Jianchou's Qiankun bag.

Everything given by the Eight Directions Yama Palace is in there, with rich varieties, including elixirs, talismans, and even many luxurious one-time powerful attack magic weapons. It can be said that it has everything.

There's even one item in there that's of "killer" level!

Jianchou's eyes lit up as he saw this. He felt that King Qin Guang was truly sincere, decisive, generous, and particularly understood his needs.

In that case, she had better perform her best before approaching the Yin-Yang boundary.

A satisfied smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and Jianchou reached his hand in again.

This time, he took out a thin piece of paper.

She knew at a glance that this should be her first request.

A list of the ghost cultivators arranged by the Eight Directions Hell Palace to "take care" of her.

With anticipation and a little imperceptible uneasiness, Jianchou slowly unfolded the page.

The official script is extremely concise and one can tell at a glance that it was written by Cui Jue.

The first Qin Guangwang Palace, late Yu Nie period, Zhang Tang;

The Ghost King Clan of the City of Wrongful Death, in the middle stage of Jade Nirvana, Li Han;

The Niutou tribe of Fengdu City, in the middle stage of Yu Nirvana, Niu Dongliang;

The Eighth Hall of the Chakravartin, the Peak of Jade Nirvana, Pan Hexun!

Four in total!

And without exception, they are all at the middle stage of the fourth realm of Jade Nirvana or above!

Jianchou really took a breath of cold air.

Zhang Tang and Jianchou were close friends, so it was understandable that he appeared in the show.

It was reasonable for Pan Hexun, the most powerful one, to suggest adding Jianchou's place in the Wheel King Palace to the competition.

Niu Dongliang, he doesn’t recognize me when he sees sorrow.

But Li Han...

This was a little hard for her to believe.

Although his strength was only at the middle stage of Jade Nirvana, his strange body movements when he appeared on the eighteenth floor, his stunning yet brutal attack, and the "Acalanatha Dharmakaya" mentioned by Chen Tingyan afterwards, all gave this man an aura of a cold and powerful man.

At that time, Jianchou also saw it from afar.

This person is not a good person.

The Eight Directions Hell Palace actually managed to deal with him

Unimaginable...

An inevitable strange feeling arose in his heart. Jianchou held the page and pondered it for a long time, but finally put it down.

She would pay attention to these people, but would not completely trust them.

Of course, your life is in your own hands.

During the remaining time, Jianchou was getting familiar with the various new magic weapons he had acquired, even a black sword of a brand new grade, while also taking the time to check the entire house.

The ruler-shaped "hidden weapon" that attacked her was what interested her the most.

Helplessly, I followed the deep mark downwards, but could not find any trace for a long time. It seemed as if I was stuck too deep, or as if I had disappeared out of thin air.

When you are in trouble, you will never be able to figure it out, and in the end you realize that it is beyond your ability, so you just give up.

The remaining three days passed so quickly.

On the morning of the last day, the light of day tore apart the darkness that shrouded the polar regions and ignited the restless atmosphere in the seventy-two cities of the underworld.

The entire polar region seemed to emit a loud roar, boiling with excitement.

After spending the whole night meditating under the eaves, he opened his eyes in the midst of the noise that almost overturned the entire city and looked at the still dim sky.

The people outside reveled in the killing feast that was about to begin;

But her heart was pounding because she was about to embark on the journey back to Yashan!

Stand up, straighten your clothes, take a step, and open the door.

Everything Jianchou does is graceful and smooth.

“Squeak.”

Zhang Tang and Chen Tingyan, who had been waiting at the door for a long time, one in a gorgeous dark purple robe and the other in a solemn black robe, turned around to look at her when they heard the voice.

Jianchou also saw them.

But the moment she met their gazes, another picture suddenly emerged in her mind and gradually overlapped with the current scene.

Unfortunately, the person waiting for her was no longer the companion she met on the stage.

Jianchou stepped out of the door with a bright smile on his lips: "Sorry for the long wait, both of you."
