Already Reached the Emperor's Ears

When the abbot of Azure Sun Abbey saw the young figure, his aged face was filled with disbelief.

"Fellow disciples! It's been a long time!"

Shuyunzi looked at his three junior brothers and couldn't help but sigh.

Soon, the Azure Sun Abbey also learned the whole story of how Shuyunzi transformed into Yin Soul!

My emotions became complicated for a moment.

"My master kept talking about you before he passed away!" Abbot Azure Sun Abbey whispered.

At this moment, everyone at Azure Sun Abbey was also in a dilemma.

Shuyunzi's transformation into Yin Soul has already violated a major taboo in Daoism.

However, their long-standing brotherhood prevented them from taking action, leaving them in a dilemma.

"Legend has it that in ancient times, it was possible to bestow upon the deceased the title of Yin God. Fellow disciples, I have been researching how to transform into Yin Gods so that we can still enjoy the offerings of incense in the human world after death."

I hope my fellow disciples can help me.

Shuyunzi said sincerely.

These words moved everyone present.

Ultimately, no one can escape death in this life, but living in this great world, they also wanted to find another way to live.

The talents of the people in Azure Sun Abbey are not particularly strong, and whether they can become Xiantian Realm martial artists is still unknown.

If one can become Yin God after death, perhaps that can be considered another form of immortality!

In an instant, everyone's eyes turned to Qin Yan!

"Lord Qin, what is your opinion on this matter?"

Seeing that the abbot of Azure Sun Abbey had thrown the question at him, he couldn't help but roll his eyes inwardly.

But then I thought about it again, and there were Yin God in ancient times.

Perhaps this era can also find a way to practice, and transforming into Yin God would be a very interesting thing in the future.

"I cannot make the decision on this matter. I will report it to my superiors, and we will wait for their decision on how to handle it."

However, during this period, Azure Sun Abbey is responsible for guarding Shuyunzi. If you are unwilling to take this responsibility, then I will have no choice but to send him to his death!

Qin Yan said calmly.

Upon hearing Shuyunzi's expression tightened, and he looked at his fellow disciples!

"Please rest assured, Lord Qin, I will keep a close watch on my senior brother. If anything goes wrong, I will take full responsibility."

Abbot Azure Sun Abbey had a serious expression on his face!

"Good!"

Qin Yan returned to Qinghe Town and reported the matter to Zhao Zhen. A few days later, he received a reply.

Shuyunzi was permitted to study the Way of Yin God, and Qin Yan was also informed of it.

A Daoist master from the Demon-Suppressing Bureau will also come to Qinghe Town to oversee the situation and guard Shuyunzi!

Upon reading the contents of the letter, he couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

"It seems the Demon-Suppressing Bureau highly values Shuyunzi's research!"

If successful, this would be an absolutely revolutionary achievement.

To become Yin God after death and enjoy offerings from the human world is an alternative way to achieve immortality.

Those who hold high positions of power and influence are the most eager to achieve immortality!

This was probably something Shuyunzi had planned long ago!

The more I think about it, the more I realize that this Shuyunzi is no ordinary person.

These past few days, everything has been peaceful in Qinghe Town.

Jiang Fuji has taken his family and servants to Youshan Prefecture to assume the Supervising Censor!

His colleagues naturally came to bid farewell to their former leader.

In the crowd, Jiang Wan looked at Qin Yan's cold and stern appearance with a complicated expression.

The boy I once looked down on is now someone I can never reach.

A wave of sadness washed over me, and my eyes welled up with tears.

A mix of emotions!

"They didn't even glance at me!"

Jiang Wan gripped the hem of her skirt tightly, lowering her head slightly to conceal her emotions.

Uncle Chun watched the young lady silently from the side, shaking his head inwardly. She hadn't seized the opportunity when she was still a hidden dragon in the abyss.

Now that it has the momentum to soar, how could anyone possibly catch this young dragon?

Chaos reigned at the Mass Grave Mound!

He had heard of Qin Yan's reputation for slaying hundreds of ghosts, and he knew that this person was beyond the control of the Jiang Family.

This young man has risen too quickly; his power is probably the greatest in the entire Qinghe Town.

"It hasn't been that long!"

A look of amazement appeared on Uncle Chun's aged face; he was in no way inferior to the heirs of those top-tier forces.

Even stronger!

I'm already looking forward to seeing how far Qin Yan will grow in the future.

"Please take your time, gentlemen. I am parting now because I do not know when we will meet again."

Jiang Fuji bowed to the crowd, his face showing the sadness of parting.

Before leaving, she took one last deep look at Qin Yan, sighing in her heart, "We were destined to be together but not to be."

Inside the carriage, Madam Chen and Jiang Wan remained silent for a moment.

Their existence is already semi-public; Jiang Fuji's original wife has been sent back to her hometown.

In a way, they have to Qin Yan, otherwise they might not be living the life they have today.

"Master, Wan'er is about to come of age. What are your plans?" Madam Chen asked cautiously.

Jiang Fuji, who had been resting with his eyes closed, slowly opened his deep eyes. "Let's first see if we can select an outstanding student from a poor family for this year's autumn imperial examination, so that she can become an official's wife in the future."

"I...!"

Before Jiang Wan could speak, she met Jiang Fuji's sharp eyes. "You have no right to refuse. This is your best choice."

Otherwise, she would either become the second wife of a low-ranking official or marry the son of a wealthy merchant, ensuring a comfortable future.

These are your only choices.

There was originally a Qin Yan, but we missed out!

As Jiang Fuji spoke, his tone lowered, referring not only to Jiang Wan but also to himself.

He had indeed misjudged Qin Yan.

"Yes!" Jiang Wan immediately lowered her head upon hearing this, not daring to contradict her father in the slightest.

"Red Star Daoist!"

Qin Yan looked at the elderly man with an air of otherworldly wisdom and bowed slightly in respect.

The old man before them possessed an extremely strong aura, indicating he was at least a Daoist master at the Qi Refining or even Spirit Travel Realm.

In addition, he exudes an air of refined elegance.

"Hehe! You must be Qin Yan, a young hero!"

Red Star Daoist stroked his white beard, his eyes filled with admiration.

"When I was in the Demon-Suppressing Library, I heard people talk about you, saying you were the second Qin Zhu!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Yan was surprised, not expecting that his name had already spread to the Capital.

"These are all undeserved compliments. How could I possibly compare to General Qin Zhu!"

Qin Yan chose to keep a low profile, because sometimes being too dazzling isn't a good thing.

From the few words the other party spoke, I vaguely sensed something unusual.

Is it a case of "praise to death"?

These two words involuntarily popped into Qin Yan's mind, immediately making him wary.

"Not bad! Not arrogant or impatient! I have high hopes for you, lad."

Looking at Qin Yan's Red Star Daoist Xing couldn't help but laugh, "There are quite a few people in the Demon-Suppressing Bureau betting on when you'll break through to the Xiantian!"

The record for breaking the Xiantian in the Great Li Dynasty was held by General Qin, who was eighteen years and ten months old.

Upon hearing this, Qin Yan looked astonished. "You're not betting on whether I can surpass General Qin Zhu, are you?"

You're not stupid, kid!

Master Chixin stroked his beard and said, "That's right. Some people believe you can surpass your opponent, while a considerable number of people think it's impossible."

I think you can!

You started practicing Martial Dao at fourteen and within six months you were comparable to the Qi Origin Realm martial artist. You have four years to catch up with Qin Zhu.

Now that I have even more faith in you, you better not let this old man lose.

Upon hearing this, Qin Yan gave a bitter smile, "Doesn't that mean I'll offend a lot of people regardless of whether I win or lose?"

"Don't worry, we wouldn't stoop to the level of someone as junior as you, though a little teasing is inevitable."

Red Star Daoist gave a relieved smile.

Let's leave that matter aside.

The most important reason I came to Qinghe Town is to discuss the matter of bestowing titles upon the Yin Gods. The imperial relatives, nobles, and high-ranking officials of the court are all very concerned about this matter.

Shuyunzi is currently the only cultivator who has transformed himself into Yin Soul!

His presence is important.
