Master of Strange Dao
Chapter 832 - 221: Flaws in the Ritual, Runes within the Cavern
But there's one place in my memory that I haven't forgotten.
I couldn't go out alone to do missions, but when manpower was short, I did go out with others to learn.
I found that place, and I've also uncovered who I might be."
Yu Ziqing was slightly surprised, good heavens.
No wonder he had always seemed so calm, his will as firm as a rock.
Unexpectedly, there was indeed an unexpected gain.
His thoughts raced, and a lot of information flashed swiftly through his mind.
"You were brought out by someone, and you can still show up in places where you once lived?"
As soon as he said this, Yu Ziqing thought of the former Ten and the Qiguang Trading Company.
The one dealing with the Qiguang Trading Company was Ten.
Having someone meet their family with another identity was a simple and effective means of control.
It was like the White Water Egg organization doing after-sales; it also made doing things more convenient.
Others going to talk business with the Qiguang Trading Company, how would that compare to the big boss's son going directly, reaching out to his father, it goes smoother.
This method naturally can't be used in just one place; just like a tactic used well with Song, it can't be used only once.
"They meant for you to contact your former family, using you as a medium to control them, right?"
The prisoner looked into the distance, talking to himself.
"I found that one place near the family, the only place I remember.
And the family I was supposed to contact, I also found out, their legitimate only son killed a Bian Clan member and was executed.
Also, the True Intent Classics on Refining God that their family passed down was also lost afterward.
I saw that classic in the organization's library, and coincidentally, I've cultivated it too.
Their dead son's little sister was later lucky enough to be favored by a senior of the Queyan Sect and taken as a disciple.
Not only did they not decline, but they actually became better than before.
I think the dying of that legitimate son back then might still have had some value.
At least, it wasn't worse, and they weren't exterminated in revenge by the Bian Clan."
"You've never told anyone about these things, right?"
"No." The prisoner shook his head and continued to talk to himself.
"I don't know much about the organization, asking me won't help.
I can tell you what Dharma Methods I once cultivated, and I can tell you the one place I remember.
But in exchange, I want you to guarantee that little sister's safety for three hundred years, or save her from a certain death crisis, and ensure her old mother can pass away naturally."
"Is that all?"
"My value only allows for that much. For higher conditions, I'm afraid even if you agree, you may not fulfill them, may not be able to." The prisoner said calmly, calculating his own value and the value of the information he could provide.
Yu Ziqing thought for a moment.
"I can agree to your terms, but I think there are better options.
You should protect them yourself, I don't think you'll die.
You think you'll die if you don't go back, or die if you go back.
But I think, even if you return to the organization, you won't die."
The prisoner was somewhat puzzled.
"You don't understand this organization; I'm already a dead man, just a matter of sooner or later."
Hearing this, Yu Ziqing was entirely sure that the prisoner knew little about many things within the organization.
He probably didn't even know what has happened in the past decade or so.
"Then you don't understand your superiors who control you; if they think you have value, you won't die.
You are very short-staffed now; after this failure, there may not be new recruits for a long time.
There's no need to kill you over something that's already failed; that's a loss without value."
"Do you have paper or a Jade Scroll?" the prisoner asked.
Yu Ziqing gave him a blank Jade Scroll.
He inscribed a Dharma Method of Refining God in it.
It's called the Dayan Preface.
In addition to the original text, it also included extensive interpretations.
A Dharma Method without True Intent, with multiple interpretations, can be considered foundational.
The so-called Dayan Preface doesn't mean the first chapter, but rather the original essence; the Dharma Method is complete.
Yu Ziqing glanced at the interpretations and roughly determined that they were on the wrong path.
Having learned from Yang for so many years, he didn't learn even ten percent of the true skills, but his knowledge had indeed increased a lot.
In Yu Ziqing's eyes, this was an extremely difficult array of methods, from simple to complex, from easy to difficult.
The emphasis was on the method, rather than the method itself.
After a brief look, Yu Ziqing felt overwhelmed.
He was sure that the True Intent Classics the prisoner once saw, eighty percent of the True Intent in it was wrong.
According to the precepts of this Dharma Method, as long as it was cultivated to a high enough Realm, every matter and thing in the world could be deduced; predicting fortunes was just a breeze.
The key was practicality; honing the Divine Soul through it was merely a side effect.
Yet later people obviously used it as a Cultivation method, focusing on the effect.
Yu Ziqing casually glanced through it and saw at the end a marked location.
In the northwest of Daqian, near a place bordering the Wilderness.
Yu Ziqing briefly recalled, it seemed that place was part of Dadui's territory in the Ancient times.
He wondered whether Dadui had included this place now.
He decided to check it out later.
The fact that the prisoner remembered this place, it was either special in itself, or the Dayan Preface was special.
Otherwise, it wouldn't be remembered.
