"He has a sharp eye."
Old Man Tianji finally put away his kind smile.
He pushed the long green stick in front of him and held it up with both hands.
"In that case, how about if you want any secret book, the old man can find it for you?"
Zhao Yan's heart suddenly jumped, and although nothing could be seen on his face, the physical reaction still made Xiao Longnu look back at him blankly.
He gave the little girl a harmless smile, and when he looked at Old Man Tianji again, his eyes had returned to normal.
"What do you mean, old man?"
"Now that things have happened, you still want to pretend?"
“……”
It seems that it was really guessed...
Zhao Yan sighed secretly in his heart, and was about to admit it, but Old Man Tianji actually said the following words on his own.
"Thirty years ago, Kuangtu Yan used his body as a furnace to practice martial arts all over the world and became a land god. The martial arts your boy practiced must be similar to him."
"Although I don't know why you can reach the extraordinary state without relying on luck, but if you want to take your martial arts to a higher level, wouldn't the more secrets the better?"
"You can't fool me about this, old man... hum."
Gu…
Zhao Yan swallowed the words stuck in his throat with difficulty and clapped slowly to express his admiration.
"As expected of Old Man Tianji...this brain is comparable to a computer."
"Computer? What is that?"
"It's just...a quick calculation."
"A mere abacus is nothing compared to my wisdom."
"Yes, yes, everything you said is right..."
"How about it? Do you agree?"
"Deal! But there's a condition."
Zhao Yan tapped twice on the table.
"I want to know all the information about the Immortal Society!"
Old Man Tianji raised his gray eyebrows helplessly.
"Alas, young man is so virtuous and impatient."
"That's natural, so you're old."
Zhao Yan smiled contemptuously.
But he ignored this sentence and also offended Sun Xiaohong.
He is a patient young man...
What’s old!
Old Man Tianji closed his eyes and shook his head as if he was drunk. After a while, he tentatively said:
"How about I tell you half of it first? It won't be too late to know the other half when you become a land god."
"also."
Zhao Yan agreed readily.
He just took this opportunity to casually mention that whether he agreed or not, he would accept the task of being the publisher of the rouge list.
Being able to know half of it in advance is an unexpected blessing.
"How much do you know about the history of Kyushu?"
"I know a little bit...five or six."
"Then let's talk about Kyushu before the Hundred Years of Chaos."
Old Man Tianji did not take the initiative to explain, but asked questions first.
Zhao Yan seemed to have expected it and was not surprised. He took Xiao Longnu's delicate little hand and gently rubbed it, and said:
"Before the Hundred Years of Chaos, hundreds of schools of thought in the nine states were contending, small countries abounded, wars continued, and the people were in dire straits."
"The Qin Empire ended the chaos of the Spring and Autumn Period, and the First Emperor unified the nine states, ushering in the first era of great unification in this land."
"However, the glory of the Qin Dynasty only lasted for twenty years. The First Emperor suddenly died and Qin II succeeded to the throne. The empire fell apart. Nine talents divided the territory of the Qin Dynasty and established countries one after another. From this, the prototype of the Nine States and Ten Kingdoms was born."
Old Man Tianji nodded in approval, then raised a finger.
"Stop, right here."
"Are you saying that the Immortal Society has already been established at this time?"
"No, maybe sooner."
Zhao Yan looked solemn.
He guessed that the longevity society had been established for a long time. After all, Zhang Sanfeng lived to be a hundred years old.
But to say that a huge organization dares to maintain a secret state for a hundred years is really incredible.
"It's just that from the information we have found so far, it was almost after the territories of the Ten Kingdoms were formed."
"How many years have you, the founder of the Zhao family, been in power?"
A look of pride suddenly flashed across Old Man Tianji's face, as if he had seen the horrified look on Zhao Yan's face.
Although Zhao Yan noticed this strange expression, he was focused on receiving the information from the Immortal Society and did not pay too much attention to it. He answered without thinking.
"Historical records state that Taizu was engaged in military campaigns all year round and suffered from all kinds of diseases. After he ascended the throne, he only reigned for sixteen years before he conquered Bintian."
"Hey, he is plagued by all kinds of diseases? When Xi was more than ten years old, a warrior in the Celestial Realm suddenly fell ill and died. Do you think it's strange?"
Old Man Tianji laughed again and looked at Zhao Yan with strange eyes.
"What's the meaning?"
"Think about it, if Taizu Taizu of the Song Dynasty had not died, how old would you be now?"
"Not dead...he should be one hundred and thirty-three years old."
"Well... there are nine elders in the Immortal Society. Who do you think the third elder among them is?"
Zhao Yan looked at Old Man Tianji's cheesy smile. Although he found it extremely unbelievable, the answer was already coming out.
"I see... If it is Taizu, then the emperor's strange attitude can be understood."
He suppressed the horror in his heart, at least on the surface it seemed calm.
When Old Man Tianji saw this, he snorted dissatisfied.
"You little guy, why are you so calm at such a young age? You can be completely surprised when you encounter this situation!"
"Whenever big things happen, how can you achieve great things if you don't have this quality?"
Zhao Yan sounded like he was lecturing the juniors, and then he choked the old man Tianji speechlessly.
"If this news hadn't come from your mouth, I would never have believed it..."
"I thought that Zhang Laodao lived long enough, but I didn't expect that he would live longer."
"According to what you say, aren't the so-called nine elders the founding emperors of each country?"
He tried to think it through and came up with a possibility that seemed too bizarre to him.
But old man Tianji nodded seriously.
"...Fuck, it's really the Immortality Society!"
"Isn't the leader behind the scenes..."
Zhao Yan immediately thought of a more terrifying guess.
But at this time, Old Man Tianji ignored him.
"Why are not you talking?"
"Old man, I'm only telling half of it...you can guess by yourself later."
"...If the First Emperor had not died, he would have been more than 160 years old, but how is this possible? Unless he steps through the gate of heaven and becomes a flying immortal, how can he live this long in this world?"
"Hehe, the old man said, you can guess for yourself."
Old Man Tianji stood up holding the green stick.
"What secrets do you want?"
"I want everything from those people in Xuanji Tower."
"! The little guy is very ambitious!"
"The stronger I am, the better it will be for you."
"Too."
After saying that, Old Man Tianji led Sun Xiaohong outside the hospital.
"The Rouge List will start in five days, and the secret book will be sent to you tomorrow night."
The deal between the two was officially concluded.
But Zhao Yan was not relaxed at all.
Xiao Longnu raised her head and looked at him confusedly.
"Brother Yan, what did you say? Long Er didn't understand a lot of it."
"It's okay if you don't understand. What we are talking about is..."
Zhao Yan was at a loss for words for a moment, and it took him a long while to form three words.
"Ghost story..."
