648 Great You Prodigy Roll
Time flew by, and it was May once more.
Lonely Ghost Island, Qin Huai’s sanctuary, transformed, showcasing lush greenery and life. A steady flow of spirit stones powered Qin Huai’s growth. In this tranquil environment, the compatibility rate of his spiritual palace leaped from forty to eighty-three percent, a progress faster than he anticipated.
Concurrently, he also saw progress in his cultivation of the Five Ferocious Battlefield, with its progress rising from thirty-three to seventy-five percent.
“At this pace,” Qin Huai mused, “I’ll complete the Five Ferocious Battlefield domain and the visceral prefecture realm in just a couple of months.”
While he continued his deep cultivation, the guardian of Pingwang county’s secret realm, the king corpse, floated above, ensuring peace throughout the territory. As the corpse descended, it brought Qin Huai two news updates.
Firstly, Old Master Tong was making significant strides in crafting the visceral prefecture realm immortal armor. With the ample resources at hand, Old Master Tong and his family had created 176 such armors.
However, the dilemma was finding suitable wearers. Despite strict checks, they still hadn’t found the right candidates for all armors. The shortage was apparent in the ten counties of East Qingzhou. Yet, Gou Jie’s letter conveyed hope, stating with adequate funds and his skills, this issue would be addressed soon.
The second piece of news was intriguing. The Great You Prodigy Roll had been released and was the talk of the entire Great You. Eagerly, Qin Huai went through the list that the king corpse had secured.
The presentation was impressive: a book adorned with gold and fine jade, accompanied by a talisman ensuring its preservation. On opening it, the title, Great You’s Prodigies, loomed impressively, exerting a tangible pressure. An ordinary bone pattern realm expert could have been harmed by this hidden energy, but for Qin Huai, the pressure faded.
He continued reading. The list began with the 100th position:
“Cloud Mountain Sect, Liao Lun. Boasting five full patterns, his martial prowess is unmatched, demonstrating extraordinary strength.” Accompanying this description was a portrait of Liao Lun.
At the 99th spot was Bai Shixian from the Bai clan, part of the eight royal clans. His unique skills: three full patterns that affect internal organs and a deadly gaze that has taken many lives.
At 98th was Qiong Buhui of the Qiong clan. With three full patterns affecting his organs, he boasts unmatched strength within his realm. He also has a technique to control blood and qi powers.
By the 70th rank was Huang Shaojie from the Huang clan. He has four patterns that influence the fu organs.
Most of the rankings from the 99th onward were dominated by members of the eight royal clans, with a few from the three sects. Qin Huai recognized a name when he reached the 50th rank.
Ranked 50th was She Wanshan from the Qingzhou Alliance. With five patterns that enter the internal organs, he is a future king. Known as the “True Lotus Rebirth”, he’s a master of the lotus technique. His familiar face was depicted in the book.
All over Great You, those in positions of power and influence began examining the Great You Prodigy Roll.
…
In the Qing Cang Palace, Prince Qing Cang commented, “Great You Prodigy Roll? Quite an arrogant title.”
Yet, he studied the rankings carefully. Recognizing names from the six royal clans, he remarked, “Their influence remains unchanged.”
However, when he reached the 50th rank, he frowned, recognizing She Wanshan. The latter was known to be associated with the banished immortal, Xiang Mingfeng. But he was from the True Path Sect. How did he end up in the Qingzhou Alliance? Prince Qing Cang was unfamiliar with this faction.
He ordered a figure emerging from the shadows, “Research the Qingzhou Alliance. See if they can be of use to us.” The figure disappeared.
In a concealed area, Prince Qing Cang’s strategists quickly sifted through heaps of information. Yet, they found nothing on She Wanshan and the Qingzhou Alliance.
Shortly after, the figure returned, reporting, “There’s no information on the Qingzhou Alliance, but the name suggests ties to Qingzhou.”
Since Qingzhou was a remote location and historically insignificant, neither the Qing Cang Palace nor the eight royal clans had many informants there.
But he suggested, “Given the current unrest in Great You, many have taken refuge in Qingzhou. Maybe we should send someone to investigate.”
