Rotating Duties

Lu Yang politely declined the invitation from Jianlou. As she had suggested, his senior sister wrote a letter on a side table, recommending that the Silent Daoist take a trip to Jizhou.

"Senior Sister, can you find Master?" Lu Yang suddenly remembered that his master had enemies all over the world and was a cunning man with multiple burrows, making his whereabouts difficult to trace.

"Able."

While they were talking, the letter to the Silent Daoist was finished. The eldest sister quietly folded the envelope into the shape of a paper crane.

The eldest sister picked up the paper crane, blew on it gently, and the paper crane's eyes brightened, its wings fluttered, and it flew out of the cave abode.

"This is..." Lu Yang had never seen such Law Technique before.

"A little Law Technique I created in my spare time to pass the time; I named it Origami Spell," the senior sister said casually.

Lu Yang gasped. How could someone create Law Technique just to pass the time?

Are the differences between people really that great? How come I pass the time by listening to the Immortal Fairy recount High Antiquity dark history?

If Lu Yang was previously hesitant to listen to the fairy recount the dark history of High Antiquity, fearing that the High Antiquity immortals would join forces to kill him, then Lu Yang is now fearless.

There's no need to be afraid; if this gets out, he'll definitely be killed.

Since I'm going to die anyway, what's a few less stories to hear?

"Creating Law Technique is nothing, a piece of cake." The Immortal Fairy thought Lu Yang was too ignorant; what was so difficult about creating Law Technique?

"I was able to create Law Technique when I was in the Golden Core stage. The Feign Death spell was created at that time. Follow me and learn well, and you can also create Law Technique!"

Faced with the rosy promises made by the Immortal Fairy, Lu Yang kept his distance and remained unmoved.

What's the use of feigning death? At least create a water-repelling technique!

Lu Yang continued reading the documents.

The elders all complained of being broke and requested more Spirit Stone. The First Elder said that the rewards for their missions in the main hall required Spirit Stone, the Second Elder said that they didn't have enough Spirit Stone to maintain the array in the herb garden, Third Elder said that even as their master, he wasn't as wealthy as Meng Jingzhou...

These were all seemingly legitimate reasons, and Lu Yang didn't know how to decide whether to refuse or allocate the funds.

"Leave this matter to me." The eldest sister took the initiative to bring over the documents from the elder pleading poverty, as dealing with such matters was too early for Lu Yang.

Lu Yang thought to himself, it seems that dealing with the elders requires certain skills. He is still too young and has not yet figured out the relationships between the elders and how to handle them. He needs to learn more from his senior sister.

Then Lu Yang watched helplessly as his senior sister wrote two words in the conclusion of the document, "Not given."

The senior sister was worried that Lu Yang was too shy to refuse directly.

Lu Yang gradually finished processing all the documents, let out a long sigh, and leaned back in his chair.

"Phew--Finally, it's all done."

He felt no arrogance or sense of power when handling the documents; on the contrary, he felt that the trials of the immortals were indeed difficult.

Fortunately, we've weathered this ordeal without any major incident.

"Come on, it's my turn!" Seeing that her mission was accomplished, the Immortal Fairy possessed Lu Yang's body and wanted to continue her triumphant display.

"Perfect timing, now that the documents are finished, it's time to finalize the invitation list for the sect's celebration." The eldest senior sister looked expressionlessly at the immortal fairy who had already acquired a body.

Immortal Fairy: "..."

"I've been working for so long, and I haven't even had time to rest!" The Immortal Fairy glared at her senior sister, though it was a little strange to make that expression with Lu Yang's face.

The eldest sister remained unmoved, seeing through the Immortal Fairy's little trick at a glance. "Lu Yang was processing the documents just now, now it's your turn."

The Immortal Fairy's face was full of smiles as she flattered Lu Yang, saying, "Lu Yang, shall I return your body to you?"

Lu Yang remained unmoved, seeing through the Immortal Fairy's hypocritical smile at a glance.

The Immortal Fairy had no choice but to dejectedly begin screening the list.

"These are all the top-tier and first-tier sects registered with the imperial court."

The eldest sister had already prepared a list.

The imperial court and the four major immortal sects will definitely be invited.

The Immortal Fairy counted the sects on the list. "Eight Super Grade Sects and one hundred and sixteen First Grade Sects."

This means that in addition to the Five Great Immortal Sects, there are eight other sects with powerful cultivators at the Tribulation Transcendence stage in charge.

"No, there are nine now. The Corpse Driving Sect is also considered a top-tier sect."

The sect Sect Master the Corpse Driving Sect barely managed to elevate the sect to the ranks of top-tier sects.

The number of top-tier sects might not change even once every few hundred years. The list provided by the senior sister was compiled just last month and is theoretically the most up-to-date list.

The sect Sect Master the Corpse-Driving Sect was forced to break through his limits right after that.

Lu Yang calculated the number of people currently at the Tribulation Transcendence stage: the Five Great Immortal Sects have at least five, and the eight super-grade sects have eight.

There must be quite a few on the imperial side. There are four generals at the Tribulation Transcendence Stage guarding the border, one of whom I met at the end of the Hanshui City incident.

When the Immortal Cult headquarters was wiped out, the imperial court also sent a Tribulation Transcendence.

The Luoshui Guard, which is specifically responsible for dealing with ancient cultivators, must have powerful cultivators at the Tribulation Transcendence stage, and there must be more than one of them.

These are just the ones that are out in the open. There are definitely more cultivators at the Tribulation Transcendence stage in the shadows. Apart from the Sect Master of the Corpse Driving Sect, those who can cultivate to the Tribulation Transcendence stage are all of extremely high seniority and generally do not take action.

"We need to invite the nine top-tier sects, and we need to screen these 116 first-tier sects..." The senior sister patiently taught the Immortal Fairy how to screen them.

The Immortal Fairy was extremely intelligent and quickly came up with a way to distinguish them. "Should we eliminate all those who have a grudge against the Silent Daoist?"

Her plan was brilliant; if she invited a bunch of people who had grudges against the Silent Daoist, the celebration wouldn't be able to proceed smoothly.

"Then there are no sects we can invite."

"Alright." The Immortal Fairy's mission was unsuccessful.

With her senior sister's hands-on guidance, the Immortal Fairy quickly compiled an invitation list according to her instructions.

"You should ask Senior Sister how to handle this, Second Senior Brother." Lu Yang just remembered that when Senior Sister wasn't around, she received a complaint from the Golden Buddha Kingdom about Second Senior Brother, and he didn't know how to respond.

The immortal fairy hurriedly pulled out an official document from the bottom.

The eldest sister glanced at the book and immediately understood. "So it's about the second junior brother again."

"What to do?"

"It's alright. This isn't the first time Second Brother has done something like this. The Buddhist Kingdom has complained about it before, so we don't need to worry about it."

The Immortal Fairy responded with an "oh," and wrote in her reply to the Buddhist Kingdom: "Ignore him."

Lu Yang regained control of his body. He looked at the official document describing the Sixteen-Foot Golden Body as majestic and awe-inspiring, and felt very envious. "By the way, Senior Sister, can I learn the Sixteen-Foot Golden Body?"

During battle, he would let out a loud shout, and his sixteen-foot-tall golden body would rise from the ground, majestic as a god, solemn as a Buddha, sweeping across the battlefield.

Just thinking about it makes me feel so cool!

"You can give it a try."

The second update will be at 11 PM.
