The Name Spreads Far and Wide; Earth Immortals Come to Join

The God-Seizing General's Manor.

Lu Qingfeng leaned over his desk, toying with a palace fan in his hand. Below him, Zhang Jingshan reported, "This time, five thousand troops were dispatched. Apart from the general, the General Who Enforces Laws and Punishes Evil, the four merit officers, the five messengers, and the fifteen heavenly generals, the rest were all heavenly soldiers and generals dispatched by the Thunder Ministry. Among them, the general's capture of the evil god is the greatest achievement. The Soul-Binding Escort Envoy broke the 'Exquisite Array Formation,' which is the second greatest achievement. General Zhao Rongshan's deciphering of the 'Exquisite Array Formation' is the third greatest achievement..."

Zhang Jingshan was listed in order.

The amount of merit and reward each person receives is predetermined.

Lu Qingfeng intended for all his subordinates to be rewarded, so all the generals took turns fighting, and each received merit, differing only in the magnitude of their contributions. After listening to Zhang Jingshan's report, Lu Qingfeng nodded slightly.

Then his gaze shifted to Mu Yunzhou, who had just returned.

She served as the Thunderbolt Reinvestigation Merit Officer, primarily responsible for post-battle reconnaissance and battle record keeping. While reconnaissance, she also oversaw battlefield cleanup.

"From the Undying Nation, we obtained a total of 12,367,912 Spirit Stone, 34,000 catties of Green-Sprout Rice, and 13,000 Law Artifact, including eighth-tier Law Artifact..."

A vast, Undying Nation.

The Moon-Worshiping Evil God swept through the nearby immortal and demonic sects, acquiring countless inheritances, Law Artifact, elixirs, and miraculous medicines. Too many for one person to consume, most were stored in the imperial treasury. After the evil god was captured alive, all of these were seized by the troops of Mu Yunzhou.

These gains are worth approximately 90 million Spirit Stone. Converted to Immortal Crystal, that's 90 crystals. That's equivalent to the income of a Mahayana True Immortal who diligently cultivates for a full 90,000 years.

Certainly.

Mahayana True Immortal cannot rely solely on arduous cultivation for income; they must have other ways to make money. This could be through alchemy, weapon crafting, exploration in all directions, or serving the Heavenly Court or other forces.

Depending on one's cultivation level, strength, and expertise, the amount one can earn will vary.

However, ninety million Spirit Stone is still incredibly valuable, enough to move even an ordinary Mahayana True Immortal. And this is only what was obtained from the Undying Nation's treasury; it doesn't even include what the captured Moon-Worshiping Evil God himself had hidden, or the Moon-Worshiping Treasure Fan that Lu Qingfeng seized.

"This precious fan alone is of immeasurable value."

Lu Qingfeng smiled inwardly.

[Immortal Artifact: Moon-Worshiping Treasure Fan]

[Grade: Tier 2]

[Note: In High Antiquity, there was Evil Cultivator who revered the moon, calling himself the "Moon-Worshiping Envoy." The Moon-Worshiping Envoy collected the essence of the moon from the heavens, as well as the dark energies of the earth, including Yin Qi, Sha Qi, and ghostly energy, spending 3,700 years to finally refine it. Later, the Moon-Worshiping Envoy suffered severe injuries and, before dying, infiltrated the Nine-Ring Realm, establishing the Moon-Worshiping Sect and leaving behind the Moon-Worshiping Treasure Fan, hoping to make a comeback. This fan can conjure yin winds and will-o'-the-wisps, and is most powerful in the starry night. Based on the "Exquisite Array Formation," it has been further enhanced with power.]

Second-tier Immortal Artifact.

It can be considered quite precious by any measure.

The Pure Bamboo Staff in Lu Qingfeng's hand looks powerful, but that's only because it originates from the same source as him, allowing him to unleash its full potential. In reality, it's merely a first-tier Immortal Artifact.

"However, this fan is of little use to me."

Lu Qingfeng shook his head.

It's best to choose the right Immortal Artifact. This Moon-Worshiping Treasure Fan can only unleash its full power under the starry night, and it works best when paired with the 'Exquisite Array Formation'.

There are many restrictions, which is quite troublesome.

It would be better to use this precious fan as bait to lure masters from all over the world to join us.

Thinking of this.

Holding the precious fan, Lu Qingfeng addressed the Daoist Longevity, the Four Meritorious Officials, and the Five Great Ambassadors in the hall, saying, "Pass down the order: eight hundred years will be the period. Eight hundred years from now, the person with the highest merit in the General's Manor will be bestowed with this fan!"

Upon hearing this, the eyes of the crowd below lit up immediately.

Zhang Jingshan, Mu Yunzhou, and the other three officials turned their gazes to their second senior brother, the Daoist Longevity. This second senior brother possessed the highest cultivation level among them, and was the most likely to obtain the Moon-Worshiping Treasure Fan eight hundred years from now.

They had witnessed firsthand the power of the Moon-Worshiping Evil God wielding his treasure fan.

He is merely True Immortal.

With this fan, one can successively defeat top-tier demons like Ghost Vine, Mad Ape, and Ge Nie, all True Immortal. The Daoist Longevity is Earth Immortal True Lord; with this fan, he will surely be even more invincible!

The Daoist Longevity remained expressionless, but a hint of anticipation flickered in his eyes.

Looking at the five envoys, including Ghost Vine, their eyes also gleamed. Immortal Artifact were hard to come by, especially for True Immortal. Even if they couldn't use this fan themselves, they could still exchange it for something of value.

Currently, in this General's Manor, apart from the mysterious and unpredictable Daoist Longevity, the five demons are probably the most likely to obtain this fan.

In an instant.

My heart is burning with passion, and I'm full of energy.

Lu Qingfeng smiled slightly before putting away the Moon-Worshiping Treasure Fan.

Seeing this, Mu Yunzhou also came to his senses and continued to report, "The Moon-Worshiping Evil God used the Undying Nation as his Daoist Domain, set up the Exquisite Array Formation, and planted an Undying Tree. The Undying Tree absorbed Sha Qi and miasma, and eventually bore three pure and yang Undying Fruit. One Undying Fruit is equivalent to seven thousand years of arduous cultivation by True Immortal."

The Undying Tree.

The Undying Fruit.

In this filthy land, Pure Yang fruit grows.

This is the principle of Yin giving rise to Yang.

However, the conditions for the Undying Tree to survive are too harsh, too contrary to natural law and humanity. For example, the one in the Undying Nation was transformed into immortal evil corpses by the evil Spirit Birth of the Moon-Worshiping Evil God, who filled the earth and sky with Sha Qi and miasma, and set up Exquisite Array Formation, before it could bear three Undying Fruits.

Lu Qingfeng refused.

"Break the Exquisite Array Formation, destroy the Undying Tree, and restore peace to the nation." Lu Qingfeng took the three Undying Fruits from Mu Yunzhou and said.

"Yes."

Mu Yunzhou nodded in agreement.

Ghost Vine Shadowless, standing to the side, seemed hesitant to speak, appearing somewhat reluctant. However, seeing the righteous expression on the Third King's face, they wisely remained silent.

Time passed.

Since the battle at the Nine-Ring Realm, eight hundred years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Lu Qingfeng was stationed at the God-Seizing General's Manor, commanding his heavenly soldiers and generals to destroy temples, exorcise evil spirits, and capture and subdue gods.

God-Seizing Army.

First-class cases are rare, but second-class and third-class cases are more common.

There aren't many capable people in the General's Manor. This second-class case is caused by a mad god or fierce ghost at the Earth Immortal level. Only Lu Qingfeng, the Daoist Longevity, or even the master and disciple working together can solve it.

As for third-class cases...

The evil gods who wreak havoc either possess powerful Divine Ability or, like the Moon-Worshiping Evil God in the Nine-Ring Realm, wield invincible magical Law Treasure, capable of defeating ordinary Earth Immortal. Such figures can be dealt with by the Daoist Longevity. However, these evil gods mostly reside in regions like the Nine-Ring Realm, which only True Immortal can enter, and Earth Immortal are forbidden from descending upon.

The Daoist Longevity could not enter.

Lu Qingfeng still needs to take action personally.

The fourth and fifth level cases were much simpler. In the General's Manor, for eight hundred years, True Immortal have been continuously promoted. As Lu Qingfeng's reputation for defeating Earth Immortal spread, many powerful True Immortal gradually came to join him.

With True Immortal as heavenly generals, leading heavenly soldiers down to earth, it is not difficult to deal with evil gods at the level of True Immortal.

Furthermore, by using treasures such as the Moon-Worshiping Treasure Fan as bait, even some Earth Immortal gradually wavered.

In this way.

As the accumulated affairs were gradually dealt with, the power God-Seizing General's Manor began to rise.

This day.

Lu Qingfeng was in the hall, perusing ancient texts, searching for clues about the Immortal Qin Realm. The Immortal Qin Realm had been banished countless millennia ago, and even the God-Seizing General's Manor had no records of it. Banished to the depths of the void, various realms freely attacked and merged, making it difficult even for Heavenly Court to detect. Lu Qingfeng controlled a General's Manor; finding its location would be even more difficult.

They could only mobilize troops to search in all directions while simultaneously exhaustively searching through ancient texts, hoping to find any clues. The more they knew about the myriad realms, the more they accumulated, the greater the possibility of deduce the Immortal Qin Realm using the 'Seven Birds Lesser Evolving Numerology'.

Lu Qingfeng was anxious but helpless, and could only proceed slowly.

It was nearly noon.

Suddenly, someone came to report from outside the hall, "The Daoist Chicheng Autumn-Gazing Peak in Azure Dragon Mountain requests an audience!"

"The Daoist Chicheng?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Qingfeng's eyes lit up immediately. He quickly stood up and headed towards the entrance of the hall, saying, "Please come in quickly."

"This humble Daoist, Chicheng, greets the God-Capturing General."

The Daoist Chicheng, with his white hair and beard and ruddy complexion, bowed to Lu Qingfeng upon entering the hall.

Seeing this, Lu Qingfeng quickly smiled and said, "You're too kind, Daoist."

As he spoke.

He then led the Daoist Chicheng to a seat.

"This old Daoist priest has been in seclusion for many years, and only recently emerged from seclusion did he learn that the General's Manor, which has been vacant for many years, has a new master. I have come today to pay my respects, but I do not know if I have disturbed the General."

Daoist Chicheng glanced at the mountain of books piled on the table, a hint of apology on his face, and said to Lu Qingfeng.

"The presence of the Daoist priest at the General's Manor's Mansion is an honor to our humble abode. We would never dare to disturb you."

Lu Qingfeng laughed loudly.

"General, you jest."

The Daoist Chicheng responded, pondering how to begin.

Seeing this, Lu Qingfeng's heart stirred, and he spoke first, "I have long heard that Divine Ability Immortal Chicheng of Azure Dragon Mountain is powerful, has many friends, and hates evil as if it were his enemy. He has killed countless demons, and heretics are terrified of Outer Dao. I wanted to pay him a visit, but firstly, the General's Manor is busy with affairs, and secondly, I was afraid of disturbing the Daoist. I did not expect that the Daoist would come to my General's Manor first today. I am truly ashamed."

Lu Qingfeng flattered him.

The Daoist Chicheng had an intention.

The two then started chatting.

After a few cups of tea, Lu Qingfeng, seeing that the time was right, got straight to the point, "... Unfortunately, I have just taken charge of the General's Manor and have many affairs to attend to, and I have no one to help me. Otherwise, I would definitely go to Autumn-Gazing Peak and have a good drink and conversation with the Daoist."

"The old Daoist priest and the general hit it off immediately. We should visit each other more often in the future. My old bones are getting rusty staying at Autumn-Gazing Peak. I will have to come and visit the general more often in the future."

"The Daoist Chicheng laughed."

Upon hearing this, Lu Qingfeng's eyes lit up, and he said, "That would be perfect. Next time you come, Daoist, we must drink until we drop."

"Ha ha!"

"General, you're really generous. It's settled then."

Daoist Chicheng, and only after Lu Qingfeng repeatedly urged him to stay did he leave the General's Manor.

They saw off the Daoist Chicheng.

Lu Qingfeng returned to the hall, a smile creeping onto his lips. "This Daoist Chicheng is unaffiliated with any sect, yet he possesses the supreme treasure 'Chicheng Immortal Barrier,' making him an expert in trapping and capturing people. If he were to join the General's Manor, I could have more free time in the future."

He thought to himself, and couldn't help but laugh, "It seems that the Moon-Worshiping Treasure Fan has had quite an impact on these observing Earth Immortal."

A few days ago.

The eight-hundred-year period has arrived.

Lu Qingfeng assessed merits and ultimately bestowed the Moon-Worshiping Treasure Fan his second disciple Daoist Longevity, who had made the greatest contribution. In recent days, Daoist Longevity had been refining the fan and handling several cases. As news spread, even Earth Immortal like Daoist Chicheng couldn't remain idle. Daoist Chicheng, located in the Azure Dragon Mountain area below the God-Seizing General's Manor, arrived the fastest.

I believe there are other Earth Immortal on their way.

"Earth Immortal".

It shouldn't be long before the last weakness of the God-Seizing General's Manor is repaired.

Lu Qingfeng was in a great mood.

He took a few steps back to his desk and continued to peruse the books and cases, but suddenly his hand paused and he stopped.
