95: Yin Sijian was summoned by the fairy.
Two Cultivators from the Holy Hall stopped Li Yan.
“If you’re applying for a handyman position, go queue up over there.”
“This is the Inner City Yin Si Prison!”
The two white-robed Cultivators, seeing how young Li Yan was, mistakenly thought he had joined the wrong queue.
Li Yan chuckled, “There must be some misunderstanding, sirs. I’m here to apply for the Yin Si Prison.”
Upon hearing Li Yan’s intention to sign up, the two white-robed Cultivators scrutinized him from head to toe.
Li Yan was too young, making him seem out of place among the others in the queue.
However, the white-robed Cultivators didn’t make things difficult for Li Yan; they simply extended a hand.
“Where’s your letter of recommendation?”
Li Yan was stunned, “Letter of recommendation?”
The white-robed Cultivators wore a half-smile.
“You want to enter the Yin Si Prison without a letter of recommendation?”
“Young man, please go back.”
They were suppressing their laughter, thinking, how could this naive fellow also want to enter the Yin Si Prison? It was quite a pipe dream.
They had originally thought Li Yan was the Young Lord of some Sect Master, coming to the Yin Si Prison for experience.
But he didn’t even have a letter of recommendation, and he still wanted to enter the Yin Si Prison?
Now it was Li Yan’s turn to be troubled; it was proving so difficult to meet Ember Immortal.
That female Disciple now lived within the Mishan Holy Hall, and it was so hard for him to even see her.
Just as Li Yan was feeling troubled, Zhang Jiu, the Dragon Tiger Mountain Daoren, quickly ran to his side.
Zhang Jiu bowed and scraped, “Sirs, my apologies! My apologies!”
“This young friend came here because he listened to me, I…”
Before Zhang Jiu could finish speaking, the two white-robed Cultivators exchanged glances.
“So it’s Daoist Zhang, the sole Disciple of Dragon Tiger Mountain.”
“Since Daoist Zhang recommended him, please come in.”
Zhang Jiu was first taken aback, “Wait, misunderstanding! Misunderstanding!”
Zhang Jiu still wanted to wave his hands, but he was pulled in by the two white-robed Cultivators to sign up.
The corners of the two white-robed Cultivators’ mouths turned up, revealing a mischievous smile.
“Daoist Zhang, the Yin Si Prison is really short on manpower.”
“We are very welcoming to successors of renowned orthodox sects like yourself.”
After speaking, the two white-robed Cultivators even beckoned to Li Yan and Su Mo.
“Since you two were recommended by Daoist Zhang, come in with him.”
Seeing that they could enter the Inner City, Li Yan didn't hesitate and directly led Corpse Puppet Su Mo inside.
Meanwhile, Zhang Jiu, who was ‘forcibly’ escorted in, was on the verge of tears.
“No, I really didn’t come to sign up.”
The two white-robed Cultivators chuckled, “Since you’re here, just put your fingerprint down.”
“You… you are too despicable! This isn’t how you recruit people; let me go!”
Zhang Jiu wanted to struggle, but how could he, a Qi Refinement Stage Cultivator, be a match for two Holy Hall Cultivators?
He was forcibly made to press his fingerprint and register.
“Daoist Zhang, you are the sole Legacy of Dragon Tiger Mountain.”
“From now on, you are also one of us in the Holy Hall.”
“We are all family!”
The two white-robed Cultivators revealed cunning smiles.
They lowered their voices, “Good luck, we’ve brought old man Zhang Jiu into the Holy Hall.”
“We’ve exceeded our target, we can get an extra month’s salary.”
“To bring a successor of an ancient Immortal sect like him under our Holy Hall’s jurisdiction, we’ve done a great service.”
The whispered voices of the two white-robed Cultivators were all heard clearly by Li Yan.
After all, with his Golden Core cultivation, eavesdropping was not difficult.
Watching Zhang Jiu’s exasperated expression, Li Yan chuckled.
“Brother Zhang, isn’t entering the Inner City quite good?”
Zhang Jiu looked like he wanted to curse, pointing at Li Yan.
“Fellow Daoist, I was originally a free and unrestrained person; coming in to be a dog for the Holy Hall, what is this?”
“I am the sole Disciple of Dragon Tiger Mountain, and now because of you, I’ve become a patrol officer in the Inner City Yin Si Prison.”
“From now on, I’ll live a life of receiving a salary and lacking ambition. You… you’ve really harmed me.”
Li Yan usually didn’t laugh; he was a serious person.
But looking at Zhang Jiu’s comical appearance, he couldn’t help but laugh.
What did he mean by receiving a salary and living a life of lacking ambition?
And that he had harmed him?
You found your brother a civil servant life with five insurances and one housing fund, and your brother still complains about you, saying he wants to be a Sanhe great god?
Taoist Zhang paced back and forth in front of Li Yan, his face full of worry.
“Alas, my carefree life, my days of traveling and enjoying nature, are gone.”
“All gone!”
“All ruined by you! I shouldn’t have taken your money; greed truly is a double-edged sword.”
Looking at the sighing Zhang Jiu, Li Yan also sensed that although this person’s strength was weak, his heart was kind.
He came to help Li Yan and ended up getting himself involved.
Li Yan also looked at the contract in his hand and a set of white robes issued by the Holy Hall.
【Name: Li Yan】
【Recommender: Zhang Jiu, the 794th generation Disciple of Dragon Tiger Mountain, Immortal Master Zhang Jiu.】
【Affiliation: Inner City Yin Si Prison】
【Position: Night Patrol Officer · Ninth Rank】
Looking at Su Mo’s contract, Li Yan had fabricated a name for her; the contents of the two contracts were basically the same.
Thus, he had officially infiltrated the Holy Hall.
However, to enter the Mishan Holy Hall and meet Ember Immortal… there was still some way to go.
Just as Li Yan was looking at the contract in his hand, dozens more people arrived one after another.
They all exuded a bloody aura; every single one of them was a Blood Core Realm Cultivator.
This group of people had cold expressions and completely ignored Li Yan’s presence.
Instead, they all stepped forward to flatter Zhang Jiu.
“Immortal Master Zhang.”
“I didn’t expect Immortal Master Zhang to also join the Holy Hall, congratulations, congratulations.”
“Immortal Master Zhang, listen to our advice, stop Qi Refining, just condense blood directly!”
The crowd that gathered around all began to persuade Zhang Jiu.
Cultivation had no future; it was better to give up Qi Refining and choose Blood Law like them.
One person even said directly, “Uncle Zhang, during that famine year, you gave me a bowl of talisman water and saved my life.”
“Now I am at Blood Core Realm eighth layer, but Uncle Zhang, you are still at Qi Refinement Stage ninth layer.”
“So many years have passed, and you’re still Qi Refining?”
“With your talent, you could directly condense blood, move blood, and form a Blood Core, all in one go!”
Everyone was trying to persuade Zhang Jiu that there was no need to persist in Cultivation.
The term ‘Cultivation’ was too ridiculous.
Zhang Jiu was almost fifty years old and still insisted on Qi Refining.
Seeing that this group of people had all received Zhang Jiu’s favor, Zhang Jiu impatiently waved his hand.
“Get lost, I, your Daoren, don’t change my name or surname; I am the sole true Legacy of Dragon Tiger Mountain, how can I give up?”
“Whoever tries to persuade me to practice Blood Law again, I’ll fall out with them!”
Seeing that Zhang Jiu was still unwilling to give up Cultivation, everyone shook their heads repeatedly.
“Alas, old stubborn.”
“My Blood Law is fast and fierce, why bother clinging to Immortal Ascension?”
“Spiritual Qi is decaying; where are there any Immortals left in this world? Those who don’t adapt will only be eliminated by the times.”
As everyone was sighing, little did they know that a Golden Core Immortal stood beside them.
Li Yan was also very curious why Zhang Jiu was so persistent in Cultivation.
Even after decades of Qi Refining, he was unwilling to practice Blood Law.
Just then, a deep voice interrupted everyone’s discussion.
“Another Demon Cave has appeared in the snowy mountains, who is willing to go?”
“As long as that Demon Cave is Sealed, you can receive a personal audience with Immortal Venerable Zenmatsu!”
Sealing the Demon Cave grants an audience with the Immortal Venerable herself?
Dozens of people on site simultaneously raised their hands: “I am willing to go!”
The white-robed man standing on the city wall added.
“Inside the Demon Cave, there is also a Yin Demon.”
When the Yin Demon was mentioned, everyone immediately lowered their hands.
“Yin Demon?!”
“How could a few dozen of us possibly be a match for a Yin Demon?”
When everyone else dared not go.
Only Li Yan, by himself, raised his arm.
The white-robed man, seeing this, was somewhat surprised: “Oh? A mere Night Patrol Officer, to have such courage?”
