Money Makes the Ghosts Turn the Mill!

Sixteen years later.

"This disciple is unfilial, unable to serve Master upon his return. I only hope to repay Master's kindness in the next life!"

A divine couple flew over and knelt before a boy in green robes.

Lu Qingfeng looked at the two of them.

The Fairy Yanlan was deathly pale, her eyes dull and lifeless, clearly nearing the end of her life. She had at most a dozen or so years left to live. However, the sixteen-year period before the Windfire Tribulation and Fire had arrived, and if she did not voluntarily Liberation by Violence and reincarnate now, it would be too late when the Windfire Tribulation descended.

One of them will inevitably die and his soul will perish.

Now let's look at Ding Yu.

Although he had a handsome face and an extraordinary, resolute demeanor, Lu Qingfeng could tell that he was only hanging on by a thread. Once Fairy Yanlan entered the cycle of reincarnation, Ding Yu would be unable to hold on any longer, his Dao Fruit would shatter completely, and he would fall from his Earth Immortal position to the mortal world, turning into dust.

"There's no need for that."

Lu Qingfeng waved his hand, signaling the two to rise. Seeing them nestled together, having shared Life and Death, he was filled with emotion and asked in a clear voice, "Have you taken care of your affairs in the mortal world?"

"Reporting to Master."

"With reincarnation imminent, worldly affairs have nothing to do with your disciples or Yanlan anymore. The South Sea Alliance, the Five Fire Gate, and the Azure Origin Sword Sect are all at your disposal."

Ding Yu established the South Sea Alliance and became its leader.

He also obtained the 'Divine Fire Fan' and the Five Fire Gate's inheritance, and became the patriarch who revived the Five Fire Gate.

The Azure Origin Sword Sect, needless to say, is the lineage that Ding Yu propagated on behalf of his master. Originally, it was not among the 108 upper sects, 800 side sects, or 3,000 unorthodox sects of the Five Directions Realm, but now it is a top-tier existence among the upper sects.

Certainly.

With Ding Yu's reincarnation, the Azure Origin Sword Sect is without True Immortal to oversee it. If Lu Qingfeng doesn't take over, it will inevitably decline and fall sooner or later.

The same applies to the Five Fire Gate.

As Ding Yu spoke, he glanced at Fairy Yanlan, his eyes filled with tenderness and affection, and respectfully said to Lu Qingfeng, "Yanlan and I plan to go to the Yellow Springs together after we have met our master."

A person is about to die.

Even if we wanted to, we couldn't.

Ding Yu simply abandoned everything. He left his affairs after death to the people of the world.

Lu Qingfeng listened and nodded slightly. He didn't say how he planned to deal with the South Sea Alliance, the Five Fire Gate, the Azure Origin Sword Sect, etc. He just looked at Ding Yu and the other person and said, "Reincarnation is dangerous. You two wait a moment."

As he spoke.

He then grabbed an incense stick from the void, lit it with a flick of his finger, and stood it burning in the void.

Ding Yu and Fairy Yanlan, upon seeing it, were unfamiliar with the object and looked puzzled.

"This is 'Spirit-Communing Incense'; burning it can communicate with ghosts and gods."

Lu Qingfeng explained.

The words had barely left his mouth.

The void collapsed, revealing a black hole, from which a surge of energy emerged. The moment this energy appeared, Ding Yu and Fairy Yanlan's expressions changed drastically—

"Such a powerful aura!"

Such an aura is definitely not that of True Immortal.

Even Ding Yu, after becoming Earth Immortal, could not reach that level.

"Could it be—"

Ding Yu and Fairy Yanlan exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with surprise and doubt.

At this moment—

In the void of darkness, a fierce god with a bull's head and a human body, two bull hooves, and immense strength, wielding an iron hairpin, stood on a dark vortex, looking directly at the three of them.

It is indeed the Oxhead Yin Deity!

"It's you again?!"

The Oxhead Yin Deity, summoned by the Spirit-Communing Incense, saw Lu Qingfeng and a strange look appeared in its eyes. Then, looking at Ding Yu behind Lu Qingfeng, a rather human-like sneer appeared on its face.

"Greetings, Your Excellency."

Lu Qingfeng ignored the expression on the Oxhead Yin Deity and went straight to the point, "My two disciples wish to enter the cycle of reincarnation, but the Yellow Springs are difficult to cross. I would like to ask the Venerable God for assistance."

Yellow Springs Road.

The most difficult part.

Even though Ding Yu and Fairy Yanlan were once briefly Earth Immortal and respectively a True Immortal, once they stepped into the Yellow Springs, all beings are equal, and the dangers are the same for everyone.

Many Primordial Spirit and True Immortal have their cultivation paths cut off and are reluctant to enter the cycle of reincarnation because the cycle of reincarnation is too dangerous. If they are not careful, they may suffer eternal damnation and find it difficult to achieve enlightenment again.

Only those with powerful backers can be reincarnated with ease.

For example, the Reincarnated True Immortal in the Evergreen Realm are backed by the gods of the Thunder Ministry.

For example, in the Barbarian God Realm, True Immortal like Luo Gu are backed by Yin Jiao, the god who controls the year and the Grand Duke of Jupiter. He also has connections with the Venerable Six-Eyes of the Netherworld Way of Heaven Sect Underworld, and can send three or five disciples to reincarnate without any hindrance.

But Ding Yu and Fairy Yanlan did not receive such treatment.

As a teacher, Lu Qingfeng wanted to lend a hand.

"You little charlatan, what makes you think I, a god, will necessarily help you?!"

The Oxhead Yin Deity's face showed even more mockery.

Although he was unwilling and dared not provoke this Pure Serenity Lad with a powerful background, he was, after all, Yin Spirit with a name and surname in the Underworld. How could he be so easily controlled and driven by a mere True Immortal?

"Your Excellency, please do not be hasty."

Lu Qingfeng's eyes shone with Radiance as he looked at the Oxhead Yin Deity and said with a smile, "This humble Daoist believes that Your Majesty possesses profound Law Power and has cultivated several body-tempering methods, intending to use Law Power to forge an unparalleled divine body. However, the methods are somewhat rudimentary, resulting in slow results and difficulty in controlling the Law Power."

Upon hearing Lu Qingfeng's words, the Oxhead Yin Deity's expression changed.

What the young Daoist said was indeed true.

He had cultivated for countless years, possessing formidable power and extremely profound Law Power. However, being merely Yin Spirit of the Underworld, he was unlikely to be recognized by powerful figures in the Mystic Sect (Daoist) and Buddhism, and thus lacked any Miaofa. The few body-tempering methods he possessed were all rather rudimentary. One of them, the 'Nine Transformations of the Nether Body,' was even obtained from the 'Nine Nether Ghostdark Sect,' one of the Five Directions Realm's sects, and was a rare body-tempering method in the mortal world.

It is one of the five Secret Method of the Nine Nether Ghostdark Sect, along with the 'Myriad Ghosts Excavation' practiced by Ghost Nether Adept.

But it is, after all, just a mundane method.

Even among True Immortal, it would be considered top-tier in strength, but in the hands of Underworld Yin Spirit the Oxhead Yin Deity, its value diminishes considerably.

Practicing with such methods will naturally lead to little success.

"You--"

The Oxhead Yin Deity's heart stirred, and his gaze toward Lu Qingfeng held a hint of anticipation.

Lu Qingfeng didn't keep him in suspense, tossing a black stone that landed in front of the Oxhead Yin Deity. The Oxhead Yin Deity caught it, its expression shifting between surprise and delight, finally widening its eyes and staring directly at Lu Qingfeng, "This method—"

"It's just a small token of my appreciation."

"My two disciples will need your care after they enter the Yellow Springs. I also ask you to help them with some arrangements on the Bridge of Helplessness."

Lu Qingfeng smiled.

"No problem."

"Does Fellow Daoist wish for them to be reincarnated directly to the Continent of Southern Jambudvipa, or within the Five Directions Realm?"

The Oxhead Yin Deity's rapid change of expression startled Ding Yu and Fairy Yanlan. They only came to their senses when Lu Qingfeng looked at them.

Seeing the questioning look in his master's eyes, Ding Yu quickly replied, "The Five Directions Realm."

"Good!"

The Oxhead Yin Deity nodded in agreement and looked at Ding Yu and Fairy Yanlan. The two exchanged a glance, bowed to Lu Qingfeng in unison, and said, "Take care, Master (Grandmaster)."

Lu Qingfeng nodded slightly.

The next moment.

A wisp of Azure Smoke rose from above each of their heads, drifting and swaying in the wind.

As the Azure Smoke rose.

The two bodies then turned into smoke and dust and disappeared in the Qingfeng.

Seeing this, the Oxhead Yin Deity used some kind of Law Technique to restrain the two wisps of Azure Smoke behind him and said to Lu Qingfeng, "It is not appropriate for a Yin spirit to stay in the mortal world for long. This god takes his leave!"

They were about to leave.

"I have one more matter to trouble you with, Your Excellency."

Lu Qingfeng, however, summoned the Oxhead Yin Deity.

"Um?"

The Oxhead Yin Deity glanced at the black stone in his hand, then looked at Lu Qingfeng, "What is it?"

Lu Qingfeng pursed his lips and said crisply, "Your Excellency watches over the Six Paths of Reincarnation and witnesses the myriad realms. I humbly request that Your Excellency keep a close eye on the 'Immortal Qin Realm' for me. If there is any news about this realm, I will certainly reward you handsomely."

Then he told me about many characteristics and details of the 'Immortal Qin Realm'.

It is quite detailed.

"The Immortal Qin Realm— "

After listening to Lu Qingfeng finish speaking, the Oxhead Yin Deity nodded and said, "Don't worry, I will keep an eye on it. I will inform you as soon as I have any news."

Lu Qingfeng's face lit up with joy, and he quickly cupped his hands in thanks, "In that case, I thank you in advance, Your Excellency."

The Oxhead Yin Deity waved his hand.

They disappeared into the darkness, accompanied by Ding Yu and Fairy Yanlan.

"A supernatural body-forging technique from Divine Ability spirits is a sure thing for exchanging two people for reincarnation."

"It's not too bad, though."

The Oxhead Yin Deity led Ding Yu and Fairy Yanlan to their reincarnations. Lu Qingfeng watched the black hole in the void close, secretly making plans in his heart. He came to the Five Directions Realm from Yellow Wind Ridge, all alone except for a bamboo staff.

More than four thousand years.

All their time was spent on Ding Yu, yet they still couldn't find or refine any treasures. This Oxhead Yin Deity, after all, had the backing of the Underworld, so he certainly had no shortage of ordinary treasures. But while treasures were easy to obtain, great techniques were hard to come by.

But what Lu Qingfeng has in abundance is methods and Divine Ability.

The technique 'Ghost-God Transformation,' a method for strengthening the body of ghosts and gods from High-Grade Spell to Divine Ability, directly caused the attitude of the Oxhead Yin Deity to change completely.

Certainly.

This is also because the Oxhead Yin Deity is a discerning person.

"'Ghost-God Transformation' is enough to allow this Oxhead Yin Deity to completely refine and absorb all his Law Power, making his Law Power more unrestrained, and his ghost and god body can also reach a higher level. Once he masters it, his overall strength can be increased by at least 80% or 90%."

With such Divine Ability gained from merely escorting two reincarnated spirits, how could the Oxhead Yin Deity not be pleased?

Even the arrangements along the way were handled without Lu Qingfeng needing to lift a finger; the Oxhead Yin Deity took care of everything on his own. He possessed many treasures, but what he lacked was a powerful cultivation technique.

The relative importance of each is self-evident.

However, for Lu Qingfeng, it wasn't a loss.

Firstly.

He had as many Divine Ability as he wanted, and giving away one wouldn't hurt him at all, nor would he lose anything.

Secondly.

The Yellow Springs Road is long, and making arrangements along the way can be quite expensive. Now, with this single Divine Ability, all of this can be taken care of, saving a lot of trouble.

This third—

"The Oxhead Yin Deity oversees the Six Paths of Reincarnation, and comes into contact with countless reincarnated souls every day. He is the most well-informed and the most likely to find out about the existence of the Immortal Qin Realm. I gave him the 'Ghost-God Transformation and Divine Ability Transformation' supernatural power. He has tasted its benefits, and if he wants to obtain other methods from me in the future, he will definitely pay attention to this matter."

This is Lu Qingfeng's true purpose.

Only.

The myriad worlds of the Primordial World are as numerous as grains of sand and gravel, numbering in the billions. Lu Qingfeng was not certain whether an Oxhead Yin Deity could find any trace of the Immortal Qin Realm among them.

Even he felt that the hope was rather slim.

But in any case, it provides another avenue for exploring the Immortal Qin Realm.

"Next."

"It means to integrate the Five Directions Realm, gather the three thousand lineages, seize the fortune of one realm, cultivate diligently, and strive to advance to the Earth Immortal as soon as possible!"

Lu Qingfeng's eyes flashed.

A fiery red feather fan appeared in his hand, and with a flash, he flew towards the South Sea.
