Chapter 110 The origin of the chat group
[Yi Si: Madam Shen is not young anymore, can you still do that to her? ]

Zhou Haochen was about to reply when an old veteran from Jade Stone refuted his point.

[Bingwu: Only when you are older can you have charm. Yisi, what do you know as a little brat? Moreover, she is the prince's woman, she must be very good at serving people.]

[Kui Niu: Jiachen, don't dwell on your rotten crotch all day long. Don't neglect the Lord's business.]

host!
This was the second time that Zhou Haochen heard the word "Master" from Xuanyuan Xue's mouth.

Obviously, the "Lord" they were talking about was the leader of Xuanyuanxue.

[Jiachen: Don't worry, boss. I will keep an eye on the orphanage. In a few days, I will ask Madam Shen to talk to the Thirteenth Prince and get some information.]

……

The real Jiachen was stunned when he saw Zhou Haochen combing the jade and chatting with Kuiniu and others.

When he first came into contact with this thing, he stumbled and it took him several days to figure out all its functions.

How come the man in front of him is more skilled than him, a genuine member of the Xuanyuan bloodline?
"You...how could you...use..."

"is it hard?"

"For this kind of thing, wouldn't it be enough to have hands?"

Zhou Haochen said in a calm tone.

His calm tone, as if he was talking about a commonplace matter, directly blocked Jiachen's second half of the sentence.

"This... master... I have confessed everything you told me to do... Can you let me go?"

"Let you go?"

Zhou Haochen asked back, and then a hint of coldness appeared in his eyes.

With a thought, he immediately contacted the mind-controlling Gu.

Whoosh!
The mind-controlling insect drilled out from between Jiachen's eyebrows, leaving a bloody hole.

His soul was scattered and he died of suffocation.

Immediately afterwards, Zhou Haochen flicked his fingertips and shot out a Binghuo real thunder, destroying Jiachen's body and eliminating all traces.

After leaving the grove, Zhou Haochen did not go to the orphanage to disturb Mrs. Shen, but went to the Ministry of Works to visit Mo Sihai and ask about the jade.

The piece of jade in his hand, which has the function of group chat, must have been made by Taizu without a doubt.

When it comes to refining weapons, the Taoists and Mohists are the best.

Taoism and Mohism each have their own strengths in the art of refining weapons.

However, considering the close relationship between Taizu and the Mohist School, Zhou Haochen's first suspicion about the refiner of this jade was the Mohist School.

Mo Sihai was surprised to see Zhou Haochen visiting him late at night.

"Your Highness is visiting late at night. Is there anything urgent?"

Zhou Haochen didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point.

"There is indeed something important."

"Please keep it a secret, Mo Juzi."

Hearing this, Mo Sihai's face darkened.

The Thirteenth Prince addressed him as Mo Juzi instead of Mo Shangshu, which is very particular.

Minister Mo, this is the official title.

The use of the title "Mo Shangshu" indicates that it was a conversation between the prince and his ministers.

Mo Juzi is different. It has nothing to do with official positions, so naturally it is not a conversation between a prince and a minister.

Most of the time, they came to him to ask questions as friends of the Mohist school.

"Your Highness, please speak."

"Mo Juzi, do you know whether during the time of Taizu, a multi-person communication method was developed that could be used for communication between multiple people?"

When Mo Sihai heard this question, he frowned slightly and looked thoughtful.

"Your Highness, now that you mention it, I have actually seen relevant records."

"Your Highness, please wait a moment. Please allow me to check the information."

As he spoke, Mo Sihai stood up, walked to the bookshelf, and scanned the rows of books.

Soon, his eyes fell on an old book.

He took out the book and started flipping through it. After a moment, a look of sudden realization appeared on Mo Sihai's face.

"Your Highness is well-informed and knowledgeable. He even knows such a secret matter clearly. I admire him."

Before Mo Sihai could answer, he started flattering Zhou Haochen.

Although Mo Sihai did not give a direct answer, the information he revealed had already made Zhou Haochen's eyes light up.

Sure enough, I found the right person.

The magic weapon of the chat group was indeed made by the Mohist school.

Mo Sihai sat down with the ancient book in his hand, took a sip of fragrant tea, and recounted the events of the past.

"Your Highness, this matter dates back a thousand years."

"During the time of Taizu, Taizu ordered the great Mohist master of the time to refine a magical instrument for communication."

"According to Taizu's request, this communication device needs to be able to communicate with multiple people, and it can be used regardless of where in the world, even inside or outside the secret realm."

Can it be used inside and outside the secret realm?
Zhou Haochen was surprised to find that the chat group was even more powerful than he had expected.

The most common means of long-distance communication in Dayu is the communication talisman.

But the communication talisman has many limitations.

First of all, it can only be one-to-one, not one-to-many like a chat group.

Secondly, the communication distance is limited, generally within a thousand miles, and it is impossible to communicate with people no matter how far apart they are.

In the end, even Dayu could not be covered, let alone the secret realm. The secret realm would isolate the communication talisman, which meant that the communication talisman could not be used inside or outside the secret realm.

Mo Sihai continued, "This magic weapon was named Qianli Xin by Taizu. According to Taizu's plan, Qianli Xin is divided into three different levels: heaven, earth and man. Different levels have different permissions."

"Among them, the Heaven-level Qianli Xin is the highest level and possesses the most powerful abilities. The recognition of a lower-level Qianli Xin requires the permission of the upper-level Qianli Xin."

There are three levels: heaven, earth and man!
Zhou Haochen thought of Jiachen's words, he said that in order to hold back the Qianli Xin Yushi, he needed the assistance of Kuiniu.

It seems that he is telling the truth.

The Qianli letter in his hand is of human level, while the Qianli letter in Kuiniu's hand is of earth level.

The organizational structure of Xuanyuan blood, above Kuiniu, is most likely the "master" who holds the heavenly level Qianlixin.

This three-level structure is a bit like: group owner, administrator and group members.

While Zhou Haochen was thinking secretly in his heart, Mo Sihai did not stop talking, but instead told him even more explosive news.

"According to the information left by the great master at that time, Taizu refined the Qianlixin in the past, probably in order to establish an intelligence agency."

"What intelligence agency?"

Mo Sihai shook his head and said, "According to what the great master said at that time, Taizu wanted to establish an intelligence agency called the Blood Droplet, but it was opposed by the civil and military officials of the whole court, and finally nothing came of it."

"After Taizu passed away, Qianli Xin, this magic weapon, was also buried with him."

Bloody drops!

Hearing these three words, Zhou Haochen couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.

It was so childish. Fortunately, my fellow villager didn't succeed.

However... Zhou Haochen did not expect that Qianli Xin was actually Taizu's burial object.

If it was Taizu's burial object, then the magic weapon Qianli Xin should be in Taizu's mausoleum. How could it fall into Xuanyuan Xue's hands?
Could it be that Taizu’s tomb was robbed?

But I have never heard that Taizu’s tomb was robbed!
This world still belongs to Dayu. If anyone dares to disturb Tai Sui and rob Taizu's tomb.

Even if they chased them to the ends of the earth, the Dayu royal family would not let them go.

Since it's not tomb robbing, then it must be...

Take it out openly!

This is consistent with Zhou Haochen's previous guess.

Most likely it was the work of the Dayu royal family. "If they want to take away Taizu's burial objects without anyone noticing, they certainly can't hide it from the generals guarding the mausoleum. The generals guarding the mausoleum must have been bribed, and they may even be the confidants of Xuanyuan Xue leader."

"The current leader's generals... no, the generals guarding the mausoleum have changed several times over the years. Xuanyuan Blood appeared at least ten years ago. It's hard to say when Qianli Xin was taken away and when Xuanyuan Blood was established."

Zhou Haochen frowned. It would be difficult to start the investigation based on the clue of the general guarding the tomb.

All the generals who had guarded the mausoleum were suspects.

It is even possible that the general guarding the mausoleum asked for leave, and his deputy was bribed while on duty.

If we include the deputies, the number would be very large.

……

The next day.

Most of the monks withdrew from Yaoguang Tower.

Rumors about the secret realm spread among the people in the market.

For example, someone got a precious elixir in the Yaoguang Pagoda, or someone got a valuable treasure in the Yaoguang Pagoda.

In short, various rumors spread, causing the practitioners in Yujing City to get restless. They gathered outside the secret realm, ready to break through.

The Secret Realm Bureau was already very familiar with handling such matters and did not simply ban them.

The wages of avarice is death!

The opportunities in the secret realm are enough to drive people crazy, enough to make people ignore the imperial court's ban and force their way through.

Once we break through the barrier, a war is bound to break out.

Because of this, the Secret Realm Bureau chose a more gentle approach.

A toll booth is set up at the entrance to the secret realm.

Want to enter the secret realm?
You have to pay!
Want news about the secret realm?
Need more money!
Want a guide to the secret realm?
It costs a lot more money!

In short, it is unclear whether the independent practitioners made any profit.

The Secret Realm Bureau must have made a lot of money.

Because Wanping County has gathered a large number of practitioners, all walks of life in Wanping County have become very prosperous.

In Blue Star's words, Wanping County's GDP this quarter soared by 100%!
royal palace.

Sutra Pavilion.

The largest scripture library in the entire Dayu, it is said to have a collection of tens of millions of volumes.

The classics in the Sutra Repository are vast and, except for a small portion that are cultivation techniques, most of them are miscellaneous studies that cover everything.

The prince came to the Sutra Repository and gave instructions to the eunuch guarding the pavilion.

"Take out all the books related to the secret realm of the Great Jin Dynasty."

The young eunuch guarding the pavilion immediately worked non-stop to move out all the books related to the secret realm of Dajin.

The prince lowered his head and read it carefully.

Based on his experience in the secret realm yesterday, he preliminarily determined that the secret realm was the secret realm of Dajin.

The existence of the Yaoguang Tower means that it is most likely the legendary Dajin Beidou secret realm.

The Beidou Secret Realm was also very famous during the Jin Dynasty. It was a secret realm specially used to cultivate geniuses in the Jin Dynasty.

Soon, the prince found the classics about the Beidou Secret Realm, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly, which was harder to suppress than AK.

After reading it, the prince let out a long breath.

"In the Beidou Secret Realm, there are seven pagodas, named after the Big Dipper."

"You will get a reward every time you reach three floors."

"Just climb up completely, and then the last pagoda will appear."

"The test in Yaoguang Tower is called the Endless Dark Realm."

"The Endless Dark Realm will deprive the person of vision and divine consciousness, allowing the challenger to defeat the bronze man in the Endless Dark Realm with his martial arts instincts."

"If you want to succeed in the game, you need to have amazing martial arts intuition. This kind of martial arts genius only appears once in a century."

"Huh? A blind man actually managed to pass the level. Maybe it's because the blind are naturally adapted to the dark... This... there is such a saying."

"Hmm? Rumor has it that Emperor Wen of Jin obtained the Immortal Artifact Samsara Seal, but his whereabouts are unknown. He is suspected to be hidden in the Beidou Secret Realm, hiss——"

"Immortal weapon!"

When the prince saw this, his heart was filled with shock.

Although the author of this book was just an ordinary practitioner, what was recorded in it were just hearsay from others, and its authenticity is questionable.

But even if there is only a one in ten thousand chance, it is still a magical weapon!

In the entire Dayu Dynasty, there is only one immortal weapon, the Xuanyuan Sword.

If I can get the immortal weapon, the Reincarnation Seal, why would my second brother fight me?

Even if it's my father, he should give me some leeway. How could he scold me like a dog in the Golden Palace like he did before?

There was a hint of hidden gloom and cruelty in the prince's eyes.

"Immortal weapons are hard to find. If there really is a reincarnation seal in the Beidou Secret Realm, it must be a reward from the ninth floor."

"Fang Dongyun, under my second brother's command, is extremely talented. I wonder if he can make it through the Endless Dark Realm."

"It's a shame that I don't have such a martial arts genius under my command."

"It seems that I can only ask Thirteenth Brother to lend me a helping hand."

"Thirteenth brother was born blind. The endless darkness will not be a problem for him."

After reading the classics, the prince stood up, speaking in a gloomy tone.

He wanted to destroy these books, but unfortunately, he didn't have the courage.

"Put it back."

The prince gave his orders and prepared to leave.

At this time, the young eunuch guarding the pavilion suddenly spoke.

"Your Highness, I have something important to report."

"What's the matter?"

"Master Zong Zheng had read these books before your Highness."

The young eunuch's words made the prince look a little surprised.

Uncle Ning?
Uncle Ning’s speed is actually faster than mine!
"Besides reading these classics, what else does the emperor's uncle do?" asked the prince.

"Lord Zongzheng gave me five hundred taels and told me to keep an eye on it. If anyone reads these books, I will inform Lord Zongzheng."

The prince was not surprised to hear this.

A very common method.

The prince thought for a moment, then took out a silver note and gave it to the young eunuch.

"Take this one thousand taels. If anyone else wants to read the classics related to the Great Jin Secret Realm, please buy some time and inform me immediately."

"Thank you, Your Highness the Crown Prince!"

The young eunuch guarding the pavilion gave a fawning smile.

The money he collected today is equivalent to his salary for several decades.

Less than half an hour after the Crown Prince left, the Second Prince also arrived at the Sutra Library.

"Well? Has the prince been here before?"

"I also gave you a jade pendant and asked you to pass on the message in secret."

"Haha - Big Brother is really painstaking and can only use tricks."

"Take this jade pendant and help me keep an eye on every move in the Sutra Repository."

"Thank you, Your Highness the Second Prince!"

The young eunuch guarding the pavilion smiled happily, saying that the Second Prince was easier to fool than the Crown Prince!
