Spirit Platform Realm

Silver Scale was also somewhat bewildered by these words, "How is luck calculated? This little demon has never thought about it, and no one knows how to calculate it..."

Well...

Even Silver Scale doesn't know?

If that's the case, then there's no way to know how to calculate one's fortune.

But never mind, at least I know that his luck is indeed very different now.

Today's takeover of Pingshui City went extremely smoothly, Fang Weiyan guessed that perhaps the Silver Scale Scale's luck also played a part in this.

Do you have any brothers or sisters, or other members of your clan?

Fang Weiyan rubbed his palms together, feeling that although luck was something invisible and intangible, it did have real and tangible benefits.

Upon hearing this, Silver Scale thought about it very seriously.

The person in front of her seemed wonderful to her; if there were other members of her clan, they could also be allowed to rely on him.

Since they don't need to use their luck anyway, and they've given it all to the adults, it's perfectly fine for them to cultivate peacefully here.

But after much thought, he realized that his mother hadn't mentioned any other members of his clan while he was in the Wu River.

"My lord, there are no other members of our clan in my branch."

Silver Scale thought about it very seriously, and then answered very seriously.

"It's nothing, I was just asking."

Seeing that Silver Scale answered no, Fang Weiyan did not press the matter.

After adding some more incense and candles, Fang Weiyan went back to his room and went to sleep.

The next day.

After waking up, Fang Weiyan returned to Pingshui City. There were still many things to deal with in Pingshui City, and the lottery prize redemption could be postponed for a few days.

When Fang Weiyan came out, Cheng Feng and his yamen runners were already waiting for him.

"Grown ups!"

Upon seeing Fang Weiyan emerge, the crowd erupted in excited shouts.

Following the adults to capture these wicked villains gave them a unique and unprecedented experience.

When they went out on the street today, they could feel the gazes of the people, which were filled with a sense of reverence.

Back when they were just ordinary people, they all fantasized about what it would be like to be an official or a yamen runner.

Those wicked people must be captured.

Now that it's been done, and the people arrested are all different, the feeling is even more different.

"Hmm, how's the situation in the city? Has there been any disturbance?"

"Reporting to you, sir, everything in the city is fine. When I woke up this morning, I could hear the people clapping and cheering, and praising you."

Upon hearing this, Cheng Feng answered honestly.

Fang Weiyan simply nodded upon hearing this, "There are still many things to do, so I need to find out more about some things."

Fang Weiyan summoned his men and immediately began issuing orders.

We need to find out the total number of households in the city, and what the current situation is in the other counties, including the number of registered households.

The information I had before is different from what I know now.

I've heard that many other refugees have come to Pingshui City, and now there are quite a few more people.

Fang Weiyan needed to know the exact number of households.

In addition, there are many other craftsmen in the city, such as bricklayers and carpenters.

Having a clear understanding of the situation in these cities will make things easier later.

Upon hearing Fang Weiyan's order, Cheng Feng and the others made their own assignments and went off to gather information.

Fang Weiyan inquired about the location of the City God, and then led a few people to the front of the temple.

The City God in Pingshui City still has some Incense Offerings.

When Fang Weiyan arrived, he saw a lot of Incense Offerings.

However, the black aura emanating from the Incense Offerings made Fang Weiyan frown.

As you get a little closer, you can immediately smell the strong aroma of Incense Offerings.

Fang Weiyan approached and asked, "Would the City God like to come out for a chat?"

"This humble god greets Your Excellency. Please forgive me, Your Excellency. My divine power has diminished, and I have fallen below the Transformation Realm. I am no longer able to appear before Your Excellency."

A voice rang out from within the clay sculpture.

Logically speaking, Fang Weiyan's original official position was not as high as that of the City God, but now Fang Weiyan is the Prefect, and his status is higher than that of the City God.

In terms of official rank, officials in the Jiang Kingdom held a higher status than those in the Underworld Administration.

Therefore, at this moment, the City God needs to address Fang Weiyan as "Sir".

However, if a magistrate from another county in Jiangling Commandery came here, the City God would not need to call himself a minor deity.

Even the City God of Pingshui City hasn't reached the Transformation Realm?

Upon hearing this, Fang Weiyan couldn't help but frown slightly.

However, Fang Weiyan's expression immediately relaxed; he had probably already guessed this beforehand.

It wasn't particularly unexpected.

"I've heard that the Dragon King in the Wu River is very powerful. If he causes trouble, are you able to suppress him?"

Fang Weiyan wanted to know more about the City God's current strength.

And then there's the Dragon King's power.

I heard that the Dragon King previously stirred up trouble, though I don't know the specifics, and even capsized ships carrying taxes.

Whether it was actually the Dragon King who did it or not is unknown.

However, Fang Weiyan felt it was still necessary to take precautions against the Dragon King.

He's currently stationed in Pingjiang City; what if, by some accident, the other party goes mad?

"If it were before, I could naturally subdue this Dragon King, but now that my divine power has diminished, and that Dragon King is a master of the Spirit Platform Realm, I am definitely no match for him."

Spirit Platform?

Upon hearing this, Fang Weiyan gasped.

The local earth god of Linbei County has not yet cultivated to the Transformation, and the City God god in front of him has also fallen to the level of Spirit Gathering.

He's two realms below the Dragon King; how can he possibly fight him?

If the Dragon King goes mad, we might be caught off guard.

Most importantly, if the Dragon King goes mad, Pingjiang City will be the first to suffer.

"To be on the safe side, should we use our trump card now?"

Fang Weiyan frowned, wondering if he should restore the City God's strength as soon as possible.

The trump card he mentioned came from the local earth god shrines in other villages.

Fang Weiyan didn't use it immediately because he wanted to keep it as a trump card.

The reason the Daoist temple attracted some worshippers is that fewer and fewer people are offering Incense Offerings at the village's shrines.

Many of the young people in the villages have already left, so the Incense Offerings on these shrines is practically a one-time thing.

People come to Cloud-Stilling Temple hoping for a continuous and abundant supply of Incense Offerings, and to absorb even better Power of Incense Offerings.

Aside from that, Fang Weiyan is now rich enough to spend some money to rent out some ancient temples for half a day.

These temples usually handle funerals and religious ceremonies, so it shouldn't be a problem for lay Buddhists to simply pay money to worship and turn off the cameras.

However, Fang Weiyan had been wondering whether he could absorb the Power of Incense Offerings.

He secretly intended to keep some of the Power of Incense Offerings for himself to absorb.
