Getting a Penglai Civil Servant Job

In the center of the Golden Core, a tiny point of light slowly rose from the ocean of spiritual power.

Suddenly, a voice rang out, "Hmph, just a mortal!"

"Fellow Daoist, I am Fu Yaozi. Your physical body is dead. I will use the Law of Reincarnation to merge your soul with my Primordial Spirit, creating a new Primordial Spirit seed.

This immortal body will also be yours. Your path of cultivation will begin from the Nascent Soul stage.

The spiritual power in my Dantian Sea will help you break through the Spirit Transformation Stage and Void Refinement Stage. The rest of the journey is up to you."

"Haha, the Heavenly Dao's tribulations are like this. I pass the Law of Reincarnation to you, fellow Daoist..."

As soon as the voice disappeared, Chen Renfeng's Primordial Spirit seed sank to the bottom of his Dantian Sea, madly absorbing the spiritual power from the ocean to grow.

This process was like an embryo developing into a baby, absorbing nutrients to grow its body. A three-foot-tall Nascent Soul rose from the Dantian Sea, dark and tender, plumply suspended in the air.

Chen Renfeng broke through to the Nascent Soul stage.

The spiritual power in the Dantian Sea was absorbed and catalyzed by the Nascent Soul. Gradually, the infant evolved into an ethereal phantom, its features identical to Chen Renfeng's. Its form grew to ten feet tall.

The phantom stretched its arms and stomped its feet, making various strange movements, appearing unrestrained.

Chen Renfeng broke through to the Spirit Transformation stage.

The remaining one-third of the spiritual power in the Dantian Sea poured into the phantom. Chen Renfeng's Primordial Spirit, sitting cross-legged above the Dantian Sea, became increasingly substantial and real, until his body emitted light and the Dantian Sea's spiritual power absorption was complete.

Chen Renfeng broke through to the Void Refinement stage.

It would take at least a thousand years for a cultivator to go from the Qi Refining stage to the Void Refinement stage. Chen Renfeng, inheriting Chen Tuan's thousand years of legacy, completed it in an instant, barely having time to react.

Before Chen Renfeng could even open his eyes, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth automatically poured into his body. His Primordial Spirit heard the White Deer Immortal scolding:

"Chart of Heavenly Karma is not something a petty cultivator like you can tamper with! Great Brahma used it and then silenced you. Only I, this Immortal Lord, have a kind heart and am saving you!"

When Chen Renfeng opened his eyes, a protective shield made of immortal energy surrounded his body, blocking the remaining two Heavenly lightning bolts.

Chen Renfeng sat up and shook his head. Looking at his body again, it was no longer his original form; he had become a true immortal.

He swept his divine sense across his abdomen and saw an immortal spirit, full of immortal energy, sitting cross-legged above the Dantian Sea.

For some reason, Chen Renfeng started crying uncontrollably, tears and snot streaming down his face.

The White Deer Immortal walked over, waved her hand, and lifted him up, mocking, "Look at how smug you were just now. Now you're scared. Learn your lesson for the future!"

Chen Renfeng stared blankly at the White Deer Immortal's eyes, captivated. Seeing her beauty up close, he couldn't look away and nodded foolishly in greeting.

The White Deer Immortal, somewhat disgusted by his pathetic state, said, "Chen Tuan, you may go back. I will call you again when Ancestor Lu returns."

Chen Renfeng wiped his tears and snot with his wide sleeves, pondering where his home was and where he should return.

He then remembered Chen Qing and Bai Xue. They were still inside the jade pendant. He looked around and finally spotted the Twin Fish Jade Pendant on a nearby tree branch.

Chen Renfeng felt nervous. The jade pendant belonged to the White Deer Immortal. She wouldn't give it to him if he asked, and he couldn't defeat her in a fight. How could he get it? His mind raced.

Seeing that he wasn't leaving and was acting suspiciously, the White Deer Immortal coldly berated him, "Why aren't you leaving yet?"

Chen Renfeng's mount, a white crane, heard the commotion and flapped its wings, running over to drag its master away.

Suddenly, Chen Renfeng remembered Chart of Heavenly Karma compiled by Chen Tuan. He was now an official of Penglai, which made him a civil servant.

Since the White Deer Immortal was so concerned about Qing Shi and Bai Yu's reincarnation and tribulation, why not...

He stood up straight and pretended to be profound, saying, "Immortal Lord, there is something I wish to discuss, though I know not if I should."

"Oh! What is it?" the White Deer Immortal asked with interest.

Seizing the opportunity, Chen Renfeng sighed lightly, "Immortal Lord, the tribulation of Qing Shi and Bai Yu in the mortal world will likely be fraught with difficulties and may not go as you wish!"

Upon hearing this, the White Deer Immortal stared at him and asked, "You compiled the Chart of Heavenly Karma. Do you know something? Will Bai Yu and Qing Shi be able to ascend in this lifetime?"

Seeing that his gamble had paid off, Chen Renfeng deliberately shook his head, "It's difficult. Immortal Lord, you should make other plans." With that, Chen Renfeng mounted the white crane, preparing to leave.

The White Deer Immortal's face turned ashen. Enraged, she clenched her right fist and slammed it into her left palm, cursing, "Lü Chunyang truly had ill intentions!"

Chen Renfeng secretly rejoiced and deliberately said loudly, "Immortal Lord, I shall take my leave first. Call me again if you need anything!"

Seeing him about to leave, the White Deer Immortal immediately said, "Wait, do you have a solution?" A powerful divine sense pressure descended, enveloping Chen Renfeng and the white crane.

The white crane seemed unaffected, but Chen Renfeng's physical body and Primordial Spirit were both oppressed, unable to move.

Chen Renfeng endured the pressure, knowing this was his only chance to save Chen Qing and Bai Xue. He met the White Deer Immortal's gaze head-on, showing no intention of begging for mercy.

Seeing that he was tough, the White Deer Immortal withdrew her pressure and casually asked, "What do you want?"

Chen Renfeng knew the opportunity had arrived. He first opened the storage bag hanging from his waist and probed it with his divine sense.

The storage bag was filled with two thousand Spirit Stones that Ancestor Lu had given him three days prior. There was nothing else of use, and he cursed Chen Tuan as a pauper in his heart.

Chen Renfeng casually took out a Spirit Stone, examined it in his hand, and then threw it back in.

Seeing him take out a Spirit Stone, the White Deer Immortal understood what he wanted. She swept her divine sense through her own storage bag, and five hundred Spirit Stones appeared in her hand, which she pushed towards Chen Renfeng.

Chen Renfeng smiled, quickly put the Spirit Stones into his storage bag, and cupped his hands:

"Immortal Lord, although I, this minor immortal, compiled the Chart of Heavenly Karma, it is also a manifestation of the Heavenly Dao. If I am to resolve the tribulations of Qing Shi and Bai Yu, I must find their opportunities from them.

This minor immortal cultivates the Law of Reincarnation and can find opportunities from the tokens they leave behind. Do you happen to have any here?"

The White Deer Immortal searched for a long time but found nothing. Suddenly, she spotted the Twin Fish Jade Pendant hanging from the tree branch and casually summoned it into her hand.

Chen Renfeng was overjoyed at the sight, but he managed to suppress it, maintaining an outwardly calm demeanor.

White Deer Immortal held it in her hand, reluctant to part with it, but finally handed it over to Chen Renfeng for examination.

After receiving it, Chen Renfeng scanned it with his divine sense, then held it up to the sky for a look. After a long period of pretense, he finally spoke:

"Immortal, could you lend this Twin Fish Jade Pendant to this humble immortal for a few days? I wish to track the spiritual energy of Qing Shi and Bai Yu, and then use the Karma Calculation Instrument to perform some calculations, to help them overcome their tribulation!"

White Deer Immortal's large eyes flickered, and she reluctantly agreed, "Alright! I'll lend it to you for three days!"

"However, if you lose it or break it, this immortal will surely destroy your physical body and Primordial Spirit." Her tone was utterly ruthless.

Chen Renfeng, startled, quickly agreed and patted the white crane's neck, hastily flying into the sky.

Once he flew high enough, he looked back down and finally got a clear view of the garden below, with its covered bridges, waterside pavilions, and numerous birds and beasts. The White Jade Palace in front of the garden particularly shone brilliantly under the sunlight.

Chen Renfeng marveled inwardly, clutching the Twin Fish Jade Pendant tighter in his hand. He said to the white crane, "Let's go home."

"Where is his home?"
