The Taoist named Jin Lian said slowly, "Some time ago, I suffered a serious injury and had no choice but to hide in the capital. My intuition told me that I would meet someone who could help me solve my crisis."

"I waited by the roadside for a long time before finally meeting you. However, I only know that you are a fortunate person, but I don't know where your roots lie."

"It was the woman in the carriage at the time who had an extraordinary aura and was rarely seen in the world. You gave her a bracelet, and the two of you will have a deep connection in the future."

He spoke in a roundabout way without being direct, like a fraudster... Xu Qi'an asked, "Did you choose me like you chose the other seven members of the Tian Di Hui?"

"Yes!"

"May I ask why?"

The old Taoist smiled for the first time, "Yes, but after listening to what I have to say next, you will have no turning back."

Xu Qi'an pondered for a long time, weighing the pros and cons in his heart, and then nodded, "Please continue."

"Everything I do is to save the Di Zong," the old Taoist said.

Save the Di Zong?

"Don't you find it strange? The Di Zong cultivates merit, but my junior brother Zi Lian wanted to kill you and killed the death row prisoner who was supposed to trade for you. This is completely contrary to the Di Zong's cultivation philosophy."

Jiu killed my substitute... Xu Qi'an remained calm, but a chill rose in his heart.

He was not clear about the transaction process, and Wei Yuan did not explain it. Now he knew about it.

Fortunately, he was not blinded by treasures and gold and chose the most sincere way.

He not only survived the crisis but also showed his loyalty.

"This matter concerns the secrets of the Di Zong. Remember not to spread it," Jin Lian said after seeing Xu Qi'an nodding. He remained silent for a long time before sighing, "The current leader of the Di Zong has gone mad and has influenced almost everyone. Only a small group of disciples, including myself, have not been affected by the leader."

"And what protects us is the Di Shu."

"Gone mad?" Xu Qi'an found it hard to believe. The Di Zong cultivates merit, and as the leader of a sect, the leader must have immeasurable merit. It was not too much to pick up a couple of silver coins when going out.

Are people so cold in society?

"Everything has its good and bad sides," Jin Lian said, looking at the candle flame in a daze. "When the Moral Taoist founded the Di Zong, he left a warning: Fortune and misfortune have no door, only people summon them. The retribution of good and evil is like a shadow following one's form."

Speak plainly... Xu Qi'an thought.

"Do you think saving a life is merit?" Jin Lian asked.

"Isn't it?" Xu Qi'an asked back.

"What if you save a person who is wicked to the core? He should have been condemned by heaven, but because you intervened and saved him, he continued to do evil things." Jin Lian looked at Xu Qi'an. "Is this still doing good?"

Xu Qi'an pondered for a moment and frowned, "Human nature is changeable, and light and darkness are intertwined. We cannot become disillusioned with the world and reject the light just because we have seen the darkness. It's not realistic for me to investigate someone's past before saving them."

The old Taoist straightened his back quietly, admiring Xu Qi'an's words, and smiled, "Only a person who can say such words can truly be entrusted with the Di Shu."

"Hey, this principle is correct for ordinary people. But for us, it is the most terrible karma. The deeper the accumulation of merit, the heavier the karma."

The leader of the Di Zong had been cultivating merit and doing good deeds his whole life. Before the year of Jiazi, he failed to cross the tribulation, and the karma rebounded, causing him to fall into the demonic path. The saying 'the higher you climb, the harder you fall' holds true."To achieve enlightenment through merit, one must bear the corresponding karma. One thought can lead to becoming an immortal, while another can lead to becoming a demon. This is the fate that no one in the Di sect can escape."

So the Di sect has such secrets!

At this point, it's necessary for Confucianism to educate you. The so-called nobleman is moderate and balanced...extremism cannot last...Xu Qi'an suddenly thought of something and his expression changed.

If my blessings are from the same source as the Di sect, am I also in danger of becoming a demon?

He still didn't trust Taoist Master Jin Lian completely and held back from asking.

"Do the Tian and Ren sects not care?" Xu Qi'an used this opportunity to inquire about insider information. "After all, they are also part of the Daoist community."

"The Di sect has the hidden danger of becoming demons. Do you think the Tian and Ren sects, who are also part of the Daoist community, don't have similar dangers?" Taoist Master Jin Lian sneered.

"Besides, this is our Di sect's business. What does it have to do with them? Let them mind their own business."

So what is the hidden danger of the Tian and Ren sects...the Heaven and Earth Society also appeared before the Tian and Ren sects, which matches the information Xu Qi'an had researched. He asked, "So, Taoist Master, you established the Heaven and Earth Society..."

Taoist Master Jin Lian said in a deep voice, "Killing the head of the Daoist sect and cleaning house."

"What level is the Di sect's Daoist head?"

"Second grade."

...Take your mirror back quickly. I have an iron will and won't be swayed by petty things.

The old Taoist with distinct features seemed to see through Xu Qi'an's thoughts and smiled, "As an old Taoist who has been cultivating merit for decades, I may not have great skills, but I can judge people well. In the Heaven and Earth Society, including the eight people present, none of them are ordinary people. You are scattered across the country and will meet one day. Joining the Heaven and Earth Society early on will establish a bond, so that there will be no casualties in the future when the geniuses of the world compete."

Xu Qi'an, who was originally resistant to joining the Heaven and Earth Society, suddenly changed his mind.

If, as the old Taoist said, everyone in the Heaven and Earth Society is talented and a genius, then mingling in this circle will definitely be beneficial. He can play an important role in critical moments.

"Okay!" Xu Qi'an nodded.

The old Taoist nodded slightly, "If you need help, you can use the Di book to ask for my aid, or you can ask other members for help if they are in the capital. Mutual assistance is the purpose of the Heaven and Earth Society. In addition, the holder of the Di book is named after the sequence number of the Di book."

After the old Taoist finished speaking, he turned into a blue smoke and disappeared from the room.

Yin god!

Xu Qi'an sat at the table, poured a cup of tea, and replayed the conversation in his mind.

For now, it seems that this expert from the Di sect has no ill intentions towards me...but the old Yin coins have deep plans, and you can never see through their true intentions on the surface...he gave me the mirror and used the Nightwatcher to deal with his fellow sect members...then he reaped the benefits and became the biggest winner. This alone shows that the old Taoist is a cunning old coin.

But no matter, Xu Qi'an has plenty of experience in this area. He has already figured out how to leave a way out for himself.

The only one who can deal with the old Yin coins is the old Yin coins.

Wei Yuan!

This eunuch is knowledgeable and capable of governing and commanding the army. Being supported by the current emperor to restrain the officials is enough to show that this person is extraordinary.

"If I want to make it in the capital, I must hold onto this big thigh..." After making up his mind, Xu Qi'an calmed down.

He picked up the "Di book" fragment on the table and immersed himself in it.Chaos once again pervaded, and before his eyes was a world in the mirror, with eight dots of light suspended in the hazy chaos, one of which shone the brightest.

"Number Six!"

Xu Qi'an pointed at each of the glowing halos before he retreated from the chaotic world.

Using his finger as a pen, he wrote on the mirror, "Hello everyone, I'm a newcomer. Please take care of me."

No one responded for a while.

Feeling a bit embarrassed, Xu Qi'an typed a new message, "I am Chen Jinnan. Please guide me."

【Number Six: Brother Chen, I contacted Taoist Master through the Earth Book and learned about the situation from Taoist Master Jin Lian. Thank you for helping Taoist Master resolve the crisis here.】

【Number Three: It's just a small matter, not worth mentioning.】

A small matter?

During his conversation with Taoist Master Purple Lotus, he had shown signs of ignorance and low cultivation level... but he still managed to help Taoist Master Jin Lian kill Purple Lotus and recover the Ninth Earth Book. This Number Three might not be strong himself, but his background was unfathomable... Number Six speculated inwardly as he saw Number Three's casual reply.

At this moment, Xu Qi'an saw another member's message on the mirror:

【Number Two: I haven't been paying attention to the Earth Book's messages lately. What happened?】
