A New Idea

After briefly boasting about the gift, Yin Yunze handed the porcelain bottle containing ten Azure Heavens Jade Dew Pills to Zhou Changqing.

"Thank you for the generous gift, Your Highness!"

Since Yin Yunze disliked listening to nonsense, Zhou Changqing naturally agreed.

After thanking him, he respectfully accepted the porcelain vase.

After carefully putting the porcelain bottle away from his body, Zhou Changqing couldn't help but smile.

Zhou Changqing was naturally very happy to receive such a generous gift with just a little effort, and he couldn't help but think to himself how generous Yin Yunze was.

For Yin Yunze, this nectar was nothing more than a daily ingredient produced every day.

But for others, these are priceless life-saving medicines.

The Azure Heavens Jade Dew Pill, which can regenerate severed limbs in a short time, is equivalent to having an extra life in certain critical situations.

Especially for someone like Zhou Changqing who deals with evil spirits and fallen gods every day, these ten Azure Heavens Jade Dew Pills are practically like having ten extra lives.

At the very least, if it's within his budget, Zhou Changqing would definitely buy one.

Even if he didn't use it himself, he could resell it, and Zhou Changqing would definitely be a wealthy man for the rest of his life.

Furthermore, those colleagues who bought the Azure Heavens Jade Dew Pill from Zhou Changqing might even have to owe Zhou Changqing a favor!

Although, to be honest, this gift certainly can't compare to Yin Yunze's solemn promise.

But upon closer reflection, Zhou Changqing didn't really feel that he had put in much effort.

The most crucial factor was the Dynastic Karmic Luck of the fourth and third ranks.

And all this Dynastic Karmic Luck was obtained by Yin Yunze for Zhou Changqing.

In the end, Zhou Changqing was nothing more than a skill initiator.

Zhou Changqing also knew very well that only those who are content can be happy, while greed will only bring trouble.

When dealing with Orthodox God like Yin Yunze, knowing when to advance and when to retreat is the only way to maintain a long-term relationship.

In any case, Zhou Changqing and Yin Yunze had developed a certain relationship.

Considering this past favor, if Zhou Changqing ever needs anything from Yin Yunze in the future, Primordial Lady of the Azure Heavens will likely be willing to lend a helping hand.

Seeing that Zhou Changqing had accepted the porcelain bottle, Yin Yunze said softly, "By the way, about what I talked to Lord Zhou about earlier, regarding the purified water—"

As he spoke, Yin Yunze raised his hand, and similar to Liu Zhengyuan, three jars appeared on the ground, each containing fifty catties of water in three different types of purified water.

After presenting the sample, Yin Yunze said softly, "At the price we agreed on before, Lord Zhou can take this gift back to the Supernatural Pursuit Bureau and arrange for an official to come and discuss the decision with me!"

The specific date for the discussion—well, let's set it for yesterday of next month. Oh, and please don't forget to let me know, Lord Zhou.

This time, I plan to sell a total of 10,000 jin of these three types of purified water at once.

A month is enough time for Yin Yunze to collect 30,000 jin of clean water.

However, just to be on the safe side, Yin Yunze still planned to leave himself a sufficient surplus.

In business, you have to practice before you get the hang of it.

In fact, if the transaction hadn't been with the commanders of the Supernatural Pursuit Bureau, Yin Yunze wouldn't have even bothered to offer 10,000 jin.

"----Understood! I will certainly convey the county princess's words!"

Upon hearing Yin Yunze state the quantity as 10,000 jin, Zhou Changqing understood that this was indeed a business deal he couldn't make the decision on.

After all, even if it were all just ordinary purified water, this would still be a huge deal worth tens of thousands of taels of silver!

Ignoring how Yin Yunze Zhou Changqing contained the three jars of purified water, Yin Yunze glanced around and looked at Zhao Yuanlang.

"I heard from Sun Qin that your name is Yuanlang, right?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, I—"

Seeing that Yin Yunze was looking at him, Zhao Yuanlang was really at a loss.

It was only through his sister-in-law Sun Qin that Zhao Yuanlang truly learned about Yin Yunze's status in this area.

This was the first time Zhao Yuanlang had ever seen his gentle and kind sister-in-law so angry with him.

After learning that Zhao Yuanlang had killed one of Yin Yunze's Avatar, Sun Qin nearly twisted off one of Zhao Yuanlang's ears.

Because Sun Qin also possessed the strength of Innate martial artist, this near fall was truly a physical near miss.

Even Zhao Wan, who had always been close to him as her uncle, gave Zhao Yuanlang the cold shoulder for several days.

Knowing that Yin Yunze was not angry, these two only relatives forgave Zhao Yuanlang.

Now that Yin Yunze has singled him out, Zhao Yuanlang is genuinely afraid that Yin Yunze is finally going to settle the score with him.

"Take it easy."

Yin Yunze could guess Zhao Yuanlang's thoughts.

After all, what is a trivial matter in the eyes of those in power may be a huge deal to those in lower positions.

Compared to Zhao Yuanlang, Yin Yunze is undoubtedly the superior.

So, before getting down to business, Yin Yunze had to first say something to comfort Zhao Yuanlang: "Yuanlang, do you mind if I call you that?"

"I don't mind! I don't mind!"

Zhao Yuanlang immediately shook his head, then quickly nodded, "Your Majesty, you may call me whatever you wish!"

"Yuanlang, you're Qin'er's brother-in-law and Wan'er's uncle, so you're practically family—here'll give you a little something in return—"

As they spoke, Yin Yunze shifted his gaze from Zhao Yuanlang to Zhou Changqing: "Lord Zhou, could you please pass on a message to your commander? If the commander is interested in reaching this agreement—"

"Then I hope that the task of transporting clean water from the capital will be entrusted to Yuanlang!"

"Your Majesty, I—"

Zhao Yuanlang was both surprised and delighted by this, as he had not expected Yin Yunze to have this arrangement.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Changqing frowned slightly.

Of course, Zhao Yuanlang was Zhou Changqing's apprentice, and Zhou Changqing didn't harbor any resentment towards him because Zhao Yuanlang was promoted by Yin Yunze.

The emotions on the surface.

Zhou Changqing simply felt that Zhao Yuanlang was not capable enough for this task.

After all, 10,000 catties of the three types of purified water alone, just from Yin Yunze's ex-factory price, is worth over 100,000 taels of silver.

The first time was alright, as the commander accompanied them.

But in the future, even a few thousand kilograms would be enough to make it a big deal that would entice all parties involved.

However, upon further reflection, Zhou Changqing understood Yin Yunze's intention.

Because this matter is so important, it cannot be entrusted to a weakling.

Therefore, if this matter is truly finalized, then Zhao Yuanlang's promotion and advancement are a certainty.

After all, for the agents of the Supernatural Pursuit Bureau, the fastest way to improve their strength is to advance their official rank!

After taking on this task, it was foreseeable that Zhao Yuanlang's strength would improve.

Regardless of the limited number of official positions, the Jia One position should be quite attainable.

Zhou Changqing sighed at this, realizing that having powerful connections makes it easier to get an official position.

Zhao Yuanlang was only able to join the Supernatural Pursuit Bureau because he had a good older brother.

Although his brother is gone, he has been left with a good sister-in-law.

Moreover, this good sister-in-law is even more amazing, managing to climb up to Yin Yunze, a true god-like figure.

I'm afraid that after this trip back, when Zhou Changqing sees Zhao Yuanlang in the future, it will be like this: I'll call you sir, and you'll call me master. We'll each address each other differently.

"I understand! I will definitely explain this matter to the Commander and the County Princess's intentions!"

However, regardless of the circumstances, this matter is also beneficial to Zhou Changqing.

Given Zhao Yuanlang's personality, it's unlikely he would forget his mentor after being promoted.

Moreover, as an Orthodox God, Primordial Lady of the Azure Heavens would certainly not like someone who betrays their master and ancestors.

Perhaps, through this connection, Zhou Changqing can also benefit from it!

"Yuanlang, why don't you thank Her Majesty!"

Since we're already calling each other "family," it's a bit inappropriate for Zhao Yuanlang to still address her as "County Princess."

Upon hearing Zhou Changqing's reminder, Zhao Yuanlang quickly replied, "Thank you, Your Highness! Thank you, Your Highness!"

"Um."

Having finished explaining everything, Yin Yunze left.

The situation is still uncertain, and getting too close to these three people could lead to unnecessary misunderstandings.

Moreover, although the major events are over, there are still many things in Anqing Prefecture that require Yin Yunze's approval and planning.

A few days later, one night, inside the County Princess of Qingping Temple in Anqing City.

In the hall that should have been deserted, two figures were now standing.

What's even more astonishing is that the statue of Primordial Lady of the Azure Heavens, which was originally on the altar, has been moved to the ground to the side.

Such audacity would surely be met with the wrath of the Primordial Lady of the Azure Heavens's followers if they saw it; they would likely want to tear this blasphemous person apart.

However, upon closer inspection, it turned out that the person who did this was none other than the Primordial Lady of the Azure Heavens himself.

Furthermore, there are two of them at the same time.

"I feel that your idea will most likely fail. Why not just leave it as a thought, instead?"

Seeing the restless mortal body, the divine body shook its head helplessly and finally offered a word of dissuasion.

"I'll feel a bit unsatisfied if I don't give it a try! If I weren't so busy these days, I would have done it a long time ago!"

Despite the divine body's attempts to dissuade him, the mortal body remained resolute, and then produced a statue of a silver-armored male god.

Unlike the fox-girl image of Yi Yun from Green Hill Yi Yun with her nine tails and fox ears, this silver-armored male god is completely human.

At this moment, the mortal body was preparing to place the silver-armored god on the altar.

Even after being reborn as a woman, her perception was altered to some extent.

But how could Yin Yunze accept it without any resentment or hesitation, without any obsession with returning to his male form?

The statue of the silver-armored male god was prepared by Yin Yunze long ago.

However, things kept happening day by day, and it has been dragging on until now.

Now that everything is settled, Yin Yunze finally has time to try.

Since Yin Yunze became what he is today because of the Sentient Beings' Power of Faith, the only thing Yin Yunze could think of was to change back to his original form in the same way.

Taking a deep breath, the mortal body gently waved his hand, and the silver-armored male god statue landed in the original position where Green Hill Yi Yun had been.

Something's not right!

The moment the statue fell, the divine body sensed something was wrong.

However, accompanied by this cry of alarm, the silver-armored god was instantly shattered by an invisible force.

Even after breaking it, they seemed unsatisfied.

The fragments of the silver-armored statue flew in all directions, but before they were even out of the air, they were ground into dust by that invisible force.

In an instant, a layer of dust was visible to the naked eye covering the entire hall.

Seeing this scene, even a mortal who was mentally prepared couldn't help but fall silent.

The mortal considered many possibilities, such as the fact that Primordial Lady of the Azure Heavens's followers did not accept this new god.

For example, even if she successfully conceives, the deity she conceives is not her, but rather another deity is raised.

What the mortal body never expected was that this cat statue would actually explode!

Whether it's a divine body or a mortal body, it can be sensed very clearly.

It was the power of the believers who ground the idols into dust that truly annihilated them.

"Two of them, the difference is too great."

Glancing at the mortal form, the divine body said softly, "Our image has already been solidified in the hearts of hundreds of thousands of believers in Anqing Prefecture. Placing an idol that is too inconsistent with our image will provoke resistance from the believers, who will think that a deity is trying to usurp our place—"

Just as Yin Yunze initially had to adopt the image of Hu Sangu, he couldn't say that he wasn't a fox spirit.

Such a thing, which goes too far against the beliefs of believers, will naturally be resisted by them.

However, after becoming Prefecture God, this change in perception will be even more restrictive at every turn.

After all, persuading one person is easy, and persuading ten people is not difficult either.

However, with a scale of hundreds of thousands of people, it would require Yin Yunze to personally intervene.

The results are unlikely to be ideal, and may even lead to more negative consequences.

Silently listening to the words of the divine body, the mortal body also clearly understood through this reality that this method truly would not work.

They can't even stand on their own two feet, let alone think about the next step.

Moreover, the resistance was so strong.

Even if it were forcibly implemented, it would likely only give rise to other new gods.

Unlike the beginning when Yin Yunze was a blank sheet of paper that could be painted on at will, this time...

Now, the deepest part of Yin Yunze's paper is already engraved with the setting of Green Hill Yi Yun.

Minor changes are one thing, but this kind of change to the underlying settings is unacceptable.

Even if it were possible, let alone the fact that it was impossible, it is still possible.

What will ultimately appear will not be a body completely controlled by Yin Yunze like the divine body, but rather another deity.

Yin Yunze wasn't so kind as to waste his energy doing the work for someone else.

"Give up?"

Seeing the mortal body remain silent, the divine body glanced at it once more.

In response to the divine body's questioning, the mortal body chose to directly immerse itself in the Dao Field. Then, it withdrew its consciousness from its body and returned it entirely to the divine body.

After reaching a consensus, Yin Yunze raised his hand, creating a gentle breeze.

They swept up all the scattered dust inside the hall and carried it outside.

"Since the first idea failed, let's try the second one."

With a wave of his hand, Yin Yunze returned the statue of Green Hill Yi Yun to its original position.

Then, Yin Yunze waved his hand again, bringing out a new silver-armored deity.

However, this is different from the previous human male deity.

The deity that Yin Yunze brought out this time was a fox-eared, nine-tailed fox girl with the exact same appearance as Green Hill Yi Yun.

Aside from her attire, this silver-armored fox spirit has white hair and red eyes, unlike the Primordial Lady of the Azure Heavens version.

At this moment, this new character is dressed in silver armor, holding a halberd in his right hand and a longbow in his left.

Yin Yunze initially chose the position of God Agricultural God simply because it was the most suitable position for developing believers.

However, this is also where the shortcomings of the god of Agricultural God lie.

However, when faced with a truly powerful enemy, this divine position cannot provide much assistance in combat.

Therefore, Yin Yunze had the idea of designing a powerful divine class a long time ago.

After all, what man doesn't enjoy the thrill of battle?
