Floating Immortal Order

Anxi Prefecture occupies a vast area, surrounded by Luohe River in both directions in the southeast, Guangxi Prefecture in the north, and dense and endless mountain forests on the west side. There are all kinds of monsters and ghosts in Anxi Prefecture. Mortals will not be able to leave this prefecture in their entire lives. .

Even under the rule of Emperor Shengzong of the Shangqing Dynasty, hundreds of other state capitals would routinely hold pulse measuring ceremonies every once in a while, but Anxi Prefecture seemed to have not held one for a long time.

This barren state capital on the fringe cannot provide much spiritual tax and resources at all. There are even very few people who can enter the spiritual root sequence and can cultivate mysteries, let alone provide fresh blood to the sect. So why did Master Xinglan let him Came here to guard it for ten years?

Xu Disheng stood by the corner of the Suanni spirit beast, looking at the Anxi Prefecture that was getting closer and closer, frowning slightly, thinking about the real intention of Master Xinglan in letting him come here.

Master Xinglan even mentioned Yangze Mountain Master in his previous words, which was obviously a test for himself.

But at this time, Xu Disheng still had no clue as to which aspects of the test were to be tested and what the test was about. He could only go to Anxi Prefecture first and meet the two Daoji Peak Realm envoys who had been stationed here for a hundred years. Maybe he could Learn more.

"Holy Son of Soul-Suppressing, according to the map on the jade slip, Guxi Palace behind the state capital is where Gou Lezhan and his two brothers are." He Ziming stepped forward and said softly.

Xu Disheng nodded and activated the Suanni spirit beast. Thousands of water-blue rays of light shone through the sky above Anxi Fucheng. The Suanni spirit beast's huge body rolled up boundless clouds and gradually landed in front of the Guxi Palace.

"Holy Son of the Sovereign Soul, our ancestors still have several jade slips passed down from us. I told you that I can't hand them over to you until I get to Anxi Prefecture." He Ziming took out three jade slips from his sleeves and handed them to Xu Disheng respectfully.

Xu Disheng had some guesses in his mind, took the jade slip and put his mind into it.

After a while, he put away the jade slips, looked down at the people in front of Gu Xi Palace, directly harnessed the power of heaven and earth, and flew down the Suanni spirit beast from the sky.

In front of Guxi Palace, there were hundreds of mortal warriors in luxurious clothes waiting respectfully. The two people in front were cultivators at the Daoji Peak Realm, and behind them were more than a dozen disciples ranging from the Tongmai Realm to the Qi Sea Realm. , standing by.

After Yuan Qi, Chu Luo and more than ten people followed Xu Disheng and disembarked the Suanni spirit beast, an increasingly bright blue mysterious light flashed over its body. After a while, it returned to a size of several feet and flew directly through the air. Up, nowhere to be found.

"I've seen the affairs envoy." Gou Lezhan spoke first, with a somewhat surprised look on his face. He obviously didn't expect Xu Disheng's cultivation level to be so low, and he was only at the beginning of Daoji.

Qin Huamao also had a strange look in his eyes and said, "I've seen the affairs envoy."

Xu Disheng nodded slightly and said: "According to the decree from the Office of Affairs, the period of guarding Anxi Prefecture's Gou Lezhan and Qin Huamao will be extended for another ten years."

Qin Huamao and Gou Lezhan looked at each other and nodded in agreement.

These two people have been guarding here for a hundred years, and have little contact with the sect. The news is very closed. This time, the sect's jade slips did not inform them of the identity of Xu Disheng's holy son, so they You know, it's just Xu Disheng's official status as a business official.

Although the position of the affairs envoy is half a level higher than that of the superior envoy, he does not have arbitrary power.

What they don't know is

, among the Shangqing Holy Sect, there are many eyes looking at this place, waiting for the results in ten years.

It seemed that even Xu Disheng was just a pawn.

…

More than a hundred years ago.

"The inheritance of the Holy Sect has passed through the ages, and there is no need to make any changes at all!"

"No, let's not talk about it from afar. I just want to say that tens of thousands of years ago, when Lord Yujing Tianjun was here, our Shangqing Holy Sect was so majestic! There were thousands of real people in the Divine Pill Realm, and the Yuan Shen Realm Yuanjun was even more powerful. Bai, look at now!"

"The number of real people in the divine elixir realm has decreased so much. Although it is due to the limitation of lifespan, it is also because there are fewer and fewer new ones in the divine elixir realm!"

"Even if you are in the Yuanshen realm, you can use various methods to avoid death and prolong life, but after all, there is a limit to your lifespan. Now our Shangqing Holy Sect is getting weaker and weaker. If we don't think of ways to change it, we will gradually be submerged in the long river of time. middle!"

"All the sources of fresh blood for the sect, apart from the descendants and relatives of the disciples within the sect, are only mortals from the hundreds of state capitals and twenty-seven mortal secret realms under the rule of the Holy Sect. Should we start with mortals?"

"Yes, although mortals are as weak as pigs and sheep, every person who cultivates mysticism is from a mortal. If the living environment of mortals is changed, maybe more people with excellent mystical veins and spiritual roots can be born."

"Yes, most of the middle spiritual root sequence and the upper spiritual root sequence are born from mortals. Although there are many descendants of sect disciples with lower spiritual root sequence in the Wenyuan Mountains, they are very important for improving the sect. The overall strength doesn’t help.”

"You can choose a remote place first, improve it first, and see the results."

"Anxi Prefecture on the edge of the Holy Sect is also on the edge of Shanshan. It is surrounded by the Luo River in the southeast. The mortals there are isolated from the world, so it is better to stay here."

"good."

"Then we'll have to wait a hundred years."

…

Although Xu Disheng is a chess piece, he knows a lot of inside information at this moment. He also has an extremely important task here, which is to hold a pulse measuring ceremony in Anxi Prefecture ten years later!

The three jade slips passed down by Master Xinglan were all given to He Ziming after he arrived at Anxi Prefecture. Therefore, Xu Disheng did not know the specific purpose of this trip.

It was only then that we learned that this was just an attempt made by several Yuanshen Realm Yuanjun and several mountain masters in the Yuluo Realm.

Even Qin Huamao may have been specially selected because of his upright and awe-inspiring personality, but he himself didn't know it at all.

In fact, the person who came to measure the pulse and finish the work is not necessarily me. Whether it is Zhang Yangui or Mo Yue, he can do it. However, his performance in the previous performance was too eye-catching, and he happened to fall into the eyes of all the Yuanshen Realm Yuanjun. That’s all.

"We have prepared the palace for the envoys, and you can go there at any time." Gou Lezhan obviously did not discriminate against Xu Disheng because of his Taoji first-level cultivation, and he stepped forward and said with a smile.

Even if he has some discrimination in his heart, he will not show it at all. After all, the position of affairs officer puts a heavy pressure on him. There are clear levels of hierarchy in the Shangqing Holy Sect, and there is no room for anything between the upper and lower levels.

offend.

Xu Disheng nodded slightly and did not refuse, but glanced at Yuan Qi beside him as if unintentionally.

Yuan Qi had a clear mind, and immediately went out and said loudly: "Master, I have something important to tell you!"

"What's the matter?" Xu Disheng stopped and waved his sleeves and asked.

There was a hint of resentment in Yuan Qi's voice: "Through this journey, I have discovered that the spiritual taxes paid by Anxi Prefecture in recent years are extremely inconsistent with its actual output!"

"Is this happening?" Xu Disheng looked a little surprised and looked sideways at Gou Lezhan, "Envoy Gou Shang, how do you explain this?"

Gou Lezhan took half a step back, letting Qin Huamao stand beside him, and said: "Assistant, the matter of spiritual taxation has always been under the sole control of Junior Brother Qin. I have only been a Qing cultivator for the past hundred years."

Qin Huamao was obviously prepared and said loudly: "The disciple next to the affairs envoy must have seen many fertile spiritual fields along the way?"

"Yes, the yield of these golden feather treasure flowers in the spiritual field is extremely huge. Why was there only more than 4,000 golden feather treasure flowers in the last spiritual tax paid by Anxi Prefecture a few months ago?" Yuan Qi nodded.

Although his profound energy cultivation was only at the Qi Sea Peak realm, he was neither humble nor arrogant when facing Qin Huamao at the Daoji Peak realm. Although he had Xu Disheng backing him up, he also showed some courage.

Qin Huamao glanced at Yuan Qi, turned to Xu Disheng and smiled: "Secretary, you don't know something. Anxi Prefecture did have a lot of reserves of several spiritual objects before, but they were built in Luohe a few years ago. A demon at the level of a demon pill came to extort a lot of money, so the spiritual tax paid last time was so small."

As soon as these words came out, among the more than ten people behind Xu Disheng, several of them changed their expressions and wanted to reprimand him.

Yuan Qi also sneered and said: "How dare you use these words to deceive Zhen..."

Halfway through, he thought of something, turned around and met Xu Disheng's cold eyes, and closed his mouth.

Xu Disheng gently flicked his sleeves, nodded and said: "But, take me to the palace, and place the dozen or so people behind me properly. If nothing happens, don't come looking for me."

Qin Huamao was obviously deceiving the child, but Xu Disheng didn't seem to notice it at all!

The affairs envoy is only half a rank higher than the superior envoy, and does not have the right to directly deal with it. Instead, he needs to go through many passes such as the affairs hall and the law enforcement hall, which is extremely cumbersome and requires conclusive evidence.

Therefore, after Qin Huamao learned that the person who came was just an official, he was completely relieved and wanted to deal with it directly.

He obviously regards Xu Disheng as the kind of powerful descendant who comes to gild. After all, with his cultivation in the first level of Daoji, he can directly take up the high-level position of affairs officer. If there is no powerful person behind him, Back it up, Qin Huamao doesn't believe it.

As for how to solve the spiritual tax problem ten years from now, he has already thought about it. Although he has exempted all spiritual taxes in Anxi Prefecture before, and various spiritual fields have been directly given to individuals, he has also reserved some inventory. It is more than enough to pay the last spiritual tax ten years from now.

(There were originally 4 updates planned for today, but the word count was off by a few hundred, so the 3rd and 4th updates were combined into one big chapter.)
