Heaven Cherishes Life

That makes sense.

Not to mention how difficult it is to become an official in the mortal world, it is even more difficult to receive offerings from people in the Underworld Bureau.

If doing good deeds could lead to becoming an official, then the Underworld Bureau officials would be overflowing with corruption.

"It's just a bit of a pity."

Zhang Weichu sighed as he finished speaking.

Turning his head to look at Fan Youzong, who was sitting in the sedan chair, he realized that the other party could have accumulated a lot of Yin Merit, but unfortunately, the other party had asked a question earlier.

Why are all the good deeds I've done not enough to warrant such praise?

Such words were recorded in the underworld register, indicating that the person felt they had done enough good deeds.

After that, a final period of time was left for Fan Youzong to continue accumulating Yin Merit.

It also implies a final assessment.

Now that the time is up, we'll take the other person to the City God.

If the other party hadn't asked that question before, and had instead accumulated some Yin Merit over time, they would have been able to reach the City God later.

Even disregarding his lifespan in the afterlife, if he were to be reincarnated, he would at least be born into a family of luxury, healthy and free from illness, and having a harem of wives and concubines would be no problem at all.

Unfortunately, the other party was still a little too impatient.

Otherwise, he might not even be comparable to a person who has been virtuous for ten lifetimes.

The gentleman was insightful; he simply advised the other party to do good deeds without worrying about the future, but unfortunately, his reminder came too late.

"Sir, now that you've returned, I'll allow myself time to catch up with you later. But now I must return to report."

Zhang Weichu had important matters to attend to and dared not linger. He immediately clasped his hands in a fist salute and addressed Fang Zelin.

Fang Zelin was still wondering what the other party meant by "it's a pity," but seeing that the other party was about to report back, he didn't dare to delay him.

After nodding repeatedly, he watched as the sedan chair was carried away.

"Speaking of which, it seems like Kappa He Chenyi hasn't been seen since we got back. I wonder where he went."

Fang Zelin pondered for a moment, and indeed He Chenyi was nowhere to be seen, and he had no idea what the other party had gone to do.

Never mind that for now.

Fang Zelin picked up another bowl, finished his simple meal, and was about to fetch water to irrigate the vegetable garden next to him.

Suddenly, a clap of thunder was heard in the sky, and then a light rain began to fall.

It's not strange that it's raining, especially around the Grain Rain season.

But when Fang Zelin casually looked up, he was stunned to see a winding, thick dragon body faintly visible in the distant clouds.

I did see the Dragon King before, at the Dragon King Temple outside Yueyang City.

At that moment, the Dragon King transformed into human form.

Fang Zelin had never even seen a dragon.

The sight of the dragon's body appearing and disappearing in the clouds, its sprawling form revealing only its body without its head or tail, was even more magnificent.

Fang Zelin stood still, looking up.

"Speaking of which, how does the Dragon King control the clouds and rain?"

Thinking of this, Fang Zelin perked up and immediately used the Supreme Sensitivity Technique to sense the clouds and rain in this area.

He wanted to know how the other person manipulated clouds and rain, and whether he could learn it.

When Fang Zelin used the Supreme Sensitivity Technique and successfully sensed the clouds and rain in this area, an extremely mysterious feeling immediately welled up in his heart.

The way the clouds and rain were being manipulated here was completely different from what he had learned before!

Fang Zelin sensed it and carefully savored its methods.

He didn't know how much time had passed, but when Fang Zelin opened his eyes again, the dark clouds in the sky had already dispersed.

But at this moment, a look of astonishing joy appeared in his eyes.

It seems he has just figured out how to control clouds and rain?

With this in mind, Fang Zelin immediately began to act. With his current level of cultivation, it was naturally impossible for him to control such a large area of clouds and rain like the Dragon King.

However, if it's fine on a small scale, then that's fine too!

Thinking of this, Fang Zelin immediately began to comprehend the Dragon King's Rain-Making Technique and quietly began to use it as well.

An inexplicable fluctuation began to emanate from this moment.

A Xiao Xiao cloud began to slowly appear in the distance.

At first, the clouds appeared somewhat small and scattered, but after Fang Zelin continuously activated his magic Law Power, the clouds began to condense.

From its initial small and somewhat loose appearance, it gradually became thicker, yet also had a slightly bouncy texture.

Fang Zelin's face lit up with joy as he watched the clouds appear. "I've learned the Technique of Summoning Clouds and Bringing Rain!"

Today is truly an auspicious day; I even managed to learn the art of rainmaking!

This Treatise on the Supreme One's Response is truly a wonderful book!

Upon realizing this, Fang Zelin beamed with joy.

However, just as Fang Zelin was about to try to make the cloud rain, a sudden clap of thunder rang out in the sky, and a dark cloud quietly gathered.

The next moment, a strange Daoist aura descended upon him.

In an instant, Fang Zelin's hair stood on end. "The Dao... the Heavenly Dao?"

Sensing this Daoist aura, Fang Zelin instantly guessed that this must be the Heavenly Dao.

At that moment, the clouds nearby also stirred.

Fang Zelin then had a sudden realization. "The ability to control clouds and rain is a duty bestowed upon humans or demons by Heaven and Earth."

He was not granted any official title, so learning this technique without authorization is somewhat presumptuous.

He was caught red-handed while trying to manipulate the weather here, and the evidence was caught red-handed!

Fortunately, after carefully sensing this Daoist aura, Fang Zelin did not detect any intention of punishment. After sensing this with his Supreme Sensitivity, Fang Zelin immediately breathed a sigh of relief and then quickly bowed to the heavens.

"This disciple attained enlightenment unintentionally, and has yet to encounter any like-minded individuals in my cultivation journey. I remain ignorant about the matters of immortality, and today's transgression of the Heavenly Dao Laws is truly my fault."

"I am learning this method today because I saw a woman carrying her child on her back tilling the land in the cold spring. It was truly a difficult situation, and I felt sorry for her. If I can learn this method, I can do my part in the future."

"As the saying goes, Heaven cherishes life, Earth sustains all things, and a virtuous person helps others achieve their goals. I earnestly request Heavenly Dao's will."

Fang Zelin respectfully knelt before the heavens, following the rules of a disciple.

Although he doesn't yet have a clear understanding of the matter of cultivating immortality, it's always best to be polite.

Fang Zelin landed, an echo seemed to reverberate back and forth, as if the Heavenly Dao were listening.

After a while, the Daoist aura slowly faded from Fang Zelin's body.

The calamity cloud in the sky then dissipated.

Upon seeing this, Fang Zelin breathed a heavy sigh of relief, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and turned around to see that the cloud he had conjured was still there. His face lit up with even greater joy.

Judging from this, has Heavenly Dao given its approval?

Furthermore, did I just actually manage to speak with the Heavenly Dao?

Fang Zelin stood there, his expression shifting rapidly.

The Heavenly Dao, no matter how you look at it, is something that is high above, looking down on the world.

Being able to speak with him must be one of the greatest joys in life, right?

Moreover, judging from this situation, he should be able to use this Technique of Summoning Clouds and Bringing Rain in the future!
