86: Chapter 86 Heavenly Official...Arrives!

Shen Yi thought about it over and over, turning the matter back and forth in his mind.

He couldn't come up with a single reason to refuse!

This was practically a pie falling from the sky.

Hmm... Next time I go to Taiping County, I must reward Wang Teng handsomely.

That kid has really performed a meritorious service.

His expression was as calm as a tranquil lake, and he smiled slightly.

"That is certainly acceptable!"

Subsequently, Shen Yi added.

"Also, we can sign all the contracts at the government office."

"With a contract, if one party violates it, the other won't be left helpless, like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered."

"This can be considered a welcoming gift from my Qinghe Town to your Hundred Flowers Sect!"

"It is also to ensure that all the Junior Sisters of the Hundred Flowers Sect feel... right at home in Qinghe Town."

Upon hearing this, a look of being moved appeared on Sect Leader's face... She slowly stood up and gracefully extended her hand.

Her slender jade fingers swayed in the air... as if she had unburdened herself of endless worries.

She was all smiles.

"Then it's a pleasant cooperation..."

Shen Yi coughed... He was a man who valued his male virtue highly.

He waved his hand and said with a smile.

"Pleasant cooperation."

Sect Leader only then realized, a flush appearing on her face...

Her actions were indeed a bit frivolous.

However, this man Shen Yi... was quite interesting.

It wasn't over yet, as Shen Yi said calmly.

"This time when you return to Taiping County, have Wang Meng bring five hundred Dao Soldiers to accompany you!"

"In this way, it can also protect your safety."

"From now on, you and my Qinghe Town are one family..."

A flash of being moved appeared in Sect Leader's eyes.

Shen Yi waved his hand and said.

"Alright, it's getting late... I'll have Cuier arrange a guest room, Sect Leader, go get some rest first, and we shall depart tomorrow."

"Alright!"

The crowd left... The courtyard became much quieter.

About the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Pei Lingshu finished seeing everyone off and returned to the courtyard.

She slowly rolled down her sleeves and asked curiously.

"Where is that Sect Leader of the Hundred Flowers Sect?"

Shen Yi was lying on Pei Lingshu's rocking chair, yawning repeatedly.

"I had Cuier arrange a guest room and settled her in."

"Nothing happened, right?"

Shen Yi's mouth twitched.

"I wouldn't dare... I wouldn't dare..."

"What a good opportunity. It's a pity for you, husband."

"What are you saying... This is a transaction, just a transaction."

Pei Lingshu pursed her lips and ordered Cuier to serve the meal.

The two of them were already used to this and began to eat unhurriedly!

Afterwards... Shen Yi went to rest.

He had been traveling quite a bit these past few days... his body was exhausted.

The next day, Wang Meng set off with the men.

Shen Yi did not follow... He stayed at home honestly.

About three days later... Wang Meng returned with the men.

Bringing those many Cultivators from the Hundred Flowers Sect into Qinghe Town... this caused quite a stir.

After all, most of the common folk in Qinghe Town were ordinary mortals, and the female Cultivators of the Hundred Flowers Sect, not to mention being exceptionally beautiful, always possessed outstanding temperament and were refined and delicate in appearance.

Many young men who saw them, those young and strong, couldn't help but feel their throats go dry.

Some were a bit shy...

The women who saw them felt a bit ashamed of their own appearance.

Shen Yi couldn't be bothered with these matters... he just ordered people to clear out a courtyard.

Subsequently, he brought Sect Leader to Zhenyuan Temple!

Inside Zhenyuan Temple... a trace of suspicion appeared in Sect Leader's eyes.

Shen Yi smiled and said.

"This is an ancient Five Elements Dao field... it requires Five Elements Cultivators to fill in the foundation of this Dao field."

"And slowly nourish it back."

"Sect Leader should be a Wood-attribute Cultivator, right?"

Sect Leader nodded.

"Water and Wood..."

"Then I must trouble Sect Leader to release a wisp of Soul Thought... and enter it."

Sect Leader nodded... regardless of whose guest retainer one becomes, mutual constraints are necessary.

This Soul Thought is something used to restrain Immortal Dao Cultivators.

After all, the destructive power of Immortal Dao Cultivators is too great... even though she is a Water and Wood Cultivator and not skilled in combat, it is extremely easy to cause huge destruction.

She had long anticipated this.

Shen Yi slowly blew a wisp of Soul Thought away...

In an instant, among the three calligraphic scrolls of Heaven, Earth, and Man, the scroll representing [Man] suddenly lit up.

It actually pulled the Soul Thought into it...

Sect Leader frowned, as if she had sensed something.

She exhaled a breath of turbid air.

Shen Yi's eyes were filled with curiosity... Originally, he had also intended to inject his own Soul Thought into it.

But unfortunately... he was the master of Zhenyuan Temple.

He was in charge of management and control, but he could not enter.

Shen Yi guessed... another reason was that his Spiritual Root was Acquired.

It was difficult to be recognized.

As for Yan Shu... his Spiritual Root affinity was also not high.

He could not enter.

Therefore, only until Sect Leader appeared did Zhenyuan Temple reveal a bit of its miraculous nature!

Shen Yi asked further.

"Did you discover something?"

Sect Leader nodded, her eyes full of suspicion.

"It seems to be a Secret Realm... with abundant Wood attributes."

"But it is too illusory, which should be due to insufficient Spiritual Qi?"

Seeing this, Shen Yi's heart stirred.

"A Secret Realm..."

"I suppose it is because of insufficient Wood-attribute Spiritual Qi?"

Shen Yi nodded to himself and said in a deep voice.

"I have troubled you..."

Shen Yi was not one to get to the bottom of things; the secrets of Zhenyuan Temple would eventually be revealed one day.

After all, this was the treasure with the highest probability of information for him, which could be called infinite.

It was absolutely impossible for it to be as simple as it appeared on the surface...

In the days that followed... Shen Yi did not go around fighting.

Instead, he honestly organized the entire Qinghe Town.

However, the relationship with Taiping County became even more frequent!

The information sent by Wang Teng highlighted the current situation... the situation was becoming increasingly chaotic.

Which made his heart sink!

[October 8th, the Magistrate of Taiping County led 1,500 Dao Soldiers to subdue demons, but they were trapped in a grand formation; there were countless casualties, and only a little over three hundred survived!]

[Commander Chu Xiong was seriously injured!]

[October 13th, the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce controlled a Dharma Boat and invited a Dao Foundation Realm guest retainer to go to Tinghai Town... to turn the tide, slaying several hundred members of the Great Black Heaven Mother Buddha Sect!]

A huge vacancy appeared in the quota of Immortal Dynasty officials in Pingyang Prefecture, and countless aristocratic families wanted to fill them.]

[November 2nd, a huge change occurred in Tianhe County; the White Lotus Holy Mother Sect bewitched hundreds of thousands of commoners to attack Pingyang Prefecture.]

[November 13th, Pingyang Prefecture repelled the White Lotus Holy Mother Sect and buried hundreds of thousands of commoners alive!]

[November 20th, the Spirit Demon Storm boiled over, and Dao Foundation Stone Demons gathered... Pingyang Prefecture issued an alert, warning the border to act with caution!]

[December 1st, a small-scale beast tide spread to Wanping County and approached Taiping County...]

[On the same day, Pingyang Prefecture issued a 'demon-slaying order' and a 'pioneering order'!]
