Chapter 685 This kid has potential
This woman is extremely cunning, but she uses all her intelligence for crooked and evil purposes.
Lin Hanzhou's avatar witnessed firsthand how she, in order to curry favor with a Saint-level elder who controlled core resources within the sect, not only betrayed her childhood sweetheart but also resorted to any means necessary.
Even during a secret realm training exercise, in order to monopolize an ancient herb, she secretly plotted to kill several of her fellow disciples who regarded her as their own sisters, and had them devoured by a monster.
In public, she is a pure and ethereal fairy from a sect, untouched by worldly concerns;
Behind closed doors, she is a sycophantic, mean-spirited, and ruthless viper who will stop at nothing to achieve her goals.
Such a person is selfish to the core.
Lin Hanzhou had every reason to believe that if he entrusted his secret to her, this woman would definitely try to turn against him the moment she learned of it.
Those who curry favor with the powerful will never amount to much.
"Her nature is fickle and her mind is unstable. I don't think she needs to wait for any future at all."
"The day her immortal body fully awakens and her immense lifespan, which cannot be concealed, arouses the suspicion of those old monsters will be her death day."
Lin Hanzhou sneered and completely cut off all interest in Murong Wanyun.
In contrast, the performance of the last candidate, Qin Changqing, greatly surprised Lin Hanzhou, who was even amazed.
"Qin Changqing... this guy is truly a talent! He's practically embodied the word 'survival' to the very core of his being!"
Lin Hanzhou leaned back in his chair and, through the perspective of his avatar, looked at Qin Changqing, an ordinary inner disciple in a mid-level cultivation sect who was currently carrying water and chopping wood and behaving in a very mediocre manner. He couldn't help but show a deep sense of admiration on his face.
According to his observation, the Longevity Body within Qin Changqing's body had actually been fully awakened three years ago by chance.
However, strangely enough, no one in the entire Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, including the saintly sect leader of his sect and countless powerful figures in the surrounding star fields, noticed anything unusual about his physique.
Because Qin Changqing is really good at hiding his true abilities.
He is not only cautious, but also possesses great opportunities.
Lin Hanzhou could sense that the other party possessed a treasure that could conceal their aura; it was a quasi-Emperor level supreme treasure.
It is also because of this treasure that cultivators below the level of Great Emperor cannot see through his physique, which is why he has been able to hide until now.
Moreover, although his actual cultivation level had clearly reached the Sendai Realm, he always managed to keep his cultivation level at the bottom of the Four Extremes Realm with exceptional precision during the sect's quarterly competitions and strength assessments.
In the eyes of the sect elders, he was a marginal disciple who was "mediocre, unambitious, and only thought about wasting his days".
Lin Hanzhou's avatar secretly observed him for a whole year.
Throughout the year, Qin Changqing never participated in any kind of sect feuds, and he would always avoid any place with exciting events as soon as possible.
If a fellow disciple provokes him outside and invites him to go treasure hunting in a secret realm, he will immediately clutch his stomach and pretend that his old illness has relapsed, refusing with a look of shame.
On one occasion, an arrogant and domineering disciple from a powerful family, in a bad mood, casually snatched the century-old spirit wood that Qin Changqing had painstakingly cut down in the back mountain, and even publicly mocked him as a good-for-nothing.
If it were an ordinary powerful figure from Sendai, they would probably have slapped that arrogant young master of a noble family into a bloody mist on the spot.
But Qin Changqing was different. He didn't show even the slightest bit of anger. Instead, he perfectly revealed a cowardly and fearful expression on his face, bowing and apologizing repeatedly before running back to his lair.
However, that night came late.
Lin Hanzhou's avatar watched with a mixture of amusement and exasperation as Qin Changqing, who had been so timid during the day, transformed into a ruthless grim reaper resurrected from the darkness after donning a specially made black outfit and mask that even divine sense could not penetrate. He silently infiltrated the inn where the aristocratic scion was staying.
Without uttering a single wasted word, Qin Changqing unleashed a thunderous attack at the level of a Sendai Grandmaster. With overwhelming power, he instantly shattered the primordial spirit of the aristocratic scion who had stolen his wood during the day, along with his guards, turning them all into ashes without a sound.
What impressed Lin Hanzhou the most was that after doing all this, Qin Changqing not only cleaned up the traces at the scene with the corpse-dissolving water, but also meticulously left some traces of demonic cultivators on the spot, perfectly directing the clues of this murder case to a notorious demonic sect tens of thousands of miles away.
After completing this horrific process of disposing of the body, he sneaked back to his thatched hut overnight. The next morning, he acted as if nothing had happened, carrying a shoulder pole and with a simple, honest smile on his face as he went to chop firewood in the back mountain.
"This kid...he's got potential, he's got so much potential!"
Lin Hanzhou sat in the teahouse and couldn't help but clap his hands and laugh.
To live peacefully for hundreds of thousands of years in this cruel world of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, filled with countless old monsters, prone to dark upheavals, and where supreme beings of forbidden zones frequently launch great purges.
What is needed is neither invincible combat power nor a world-renowned, eternal fame.
What we need is this kind of "ultimate sage of the art of survival" who is cautious to the core, ruthless yet extremely patient, and deeply understands the essence of making a fortune in silence and killing with a borrowed knife!
"It seems that the future me will be talking about this little guy named Qin Changqing."
Lin Hanzhou stood up, a look of satisfaction flashing in his eyes.
Without any further hesitation, he stirred his divine sense and prepared to use the quasi-emperor avatar lurking near Qin Changqing to make contact with him.
However, at this very moment, a sudden and unexpected change occurred!
In the void layer that was originally as calm as still water, without any ripples, a strange and eerie ripple suddenly appeared without warning.
This ripple was not a naturally formed spatial fluctuation, but rather carried an ancient, decaying, and deathly aura, as if it had crawled out of a grave from the endless river of time.
Immediately afterwards, an aged voice, filled with endless mockery and cold ridicule, pierced through layers of spatial barriers like an invisible hammer, suddenly exploding in the ears of Lin Hanzhou, the quasi-emperor avatar.
"Hehehe... I never expected that such a rat like you would be hiding in this remote star field where even saints are hard to find."
