Preparations

This was the first time Yin Yunze had actually seen the statue of the fox spirit he had possessed.

Yin Yunze's first reaction wasn't exactly disappointment; he could only think, "What is this thing?"

This thing can be called a fox spirit?

To be honest, for the first time, Yin Yunze felt ashamed of his compromise.

For some reason, Yin Yunze now understood why Sun Qin had initially been so adamant about not believing it.

If it were Yin Yunze, he definitely wouldn't believe this thing was some kind of deity!

You claim to be a fox spirit, but at least you should look like a fox!

Based on Yin Yunze's personal understanding of foxes, Yin Yunze felt that the thing lying on the altar was not a fox at all, and was even far removed from canines.

After examining it closely, Yin Yunze just wanted to curse, "Is this a fox?!"

Where's the fox's big tail? Its tail's so bald, this thing's clearly a mouse!

Although rats are also one of the Five Immortals, they are very different from fox spirits!

This statue can't even be described as abstract; it's downright bizarre!

Thinking to himself that this would still be useful to him, Yin Yunze resisted the urge to unleash a Fox Fire.

Silently shifting his gaze, Yin Yunze made up his mind: whoever wanted the dilapidated temple could have it; he definitely didn't want it anymore.

The appearance of this fox spirit statue also dispelled Yin Yunze's plan to find someone to build a temple and erect a statue in this world.

With this kind of skill, even if he paid out of his own pocket, Yin Yunze would still think it was bad luck to use it!

Anyway, Yin Yunze is not short of money now. As for the temple statue that is very important to him, Yin Yunze plans to spend money to have someone build it in the real world, and then move the whole thing to this world.

Yin Yunze had moved tens of thousands of kilograms of grain, but it was just a Fox Immortal Temple!

Anyway, now that he has characters made from the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, Yin Yunze is not short of offerings, so what's wrong with spending a little money!

Having made up his mind, Yin Yunze didn't want to stay a moment longer and turned to leave.

Although Sun Qin found it strange, she didn't say anything and followed closely behind Yin Yunze.

After leaving the Fox Immortal Temple, Yin Yunze used the Land God's perception of the Earth Vein Power to begin selecting a suitable location in Clear Creek Village.

Although, theoretically speaking, as the Land God, Yin Yunze could transform even a latrine into the best feng shui location in Clear Creek Village by channeling the Earth Vein Power.

However, this kind of cleansing requires the consumption of the Earth Vein Power, and the cooldown time of the Earth Vein Power is much longer than that of the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi.

In comparison, choosing a naturally good location and then using the Earth Vein Power to properly enhance it is the most cost-effective and labor-saving approach.

After walking around for half a day, stopping here and there, Yin Yunze finally found his favorite spot in Clear Creek Village.

This is a location situated on the side of Clear Creek Village, and its most perfect feature is a small lake. Because it had just rained, the lake was filled with water, which was shimmering and reflecting the sunlight.

Further back lies the back mountain of Clear Creek Village.

Nestled against the mountains and beside the water, it is, in Yin Yunze's aesthetic sense, quite perfect.

"Sun Qin, who owns this land? I'm buying it!"

Although nothing is certain yet, it doesn't stop Yin Yunze from taking precautions and securing the land first.

Whether the other party is willing to sell or not is not something Yin Yunze should consider.

"This is the Zhao Household First Branch..." Sun Qin answered subconsciously, then smiled and said, "Lord Yi Yun, this land doesn't need your money. I'll give it to you on behalf of the Zhao Household!"

A glance at Sun Qin's smile told Yin Yunze that there was probably something more to it.

Although Sun Qin had won over many members of the Zhao Household, there were still some who were unwilling to accept that an outsider like her could stand above the Zhao Household.

Clearly, the owner of this land is the Zhao Household, whom Sun Qin dislikes very much.

Although it's a bit out of the way and there weren't any crops growing there, it's still painful to have such a piece of land cleared away for nothing.

However, although Sun Qin seemed to be preparing to use her position for personal gain, Yin Yunze was too lazy to care about such things, as long as the land was his.

"Okay. If this matter is handled properly, I'll give you two of each of the four types of characters tomorrow."

Since he had said it wouldn't cost him anything, Yin Yunze naturally didn't want to spend any money. But Sun Qin was doing things for him after all, so he couldn't really work for free. Therefore, Yin Yunze thought of using the promise of free money to get rid of Sun Qin.

After all, some kind of life-saving measure should be prepared for Sun Qin.

The value of an object varies from person to person.

What Sun Qin thought was enough characters to last for several years, Yin Yunze thought might not even be enough for a single serious battle.

Anyway, we'll definitely give them more later, so using them as a reward now will also have an incentive effect.

Upon hearing Yin Yunze's words, Sun Qin's eyes lit up. To Sun Qin, these characters were far more important than gold!

Before Sun Qin's family lived there, they weren't considered poor in the village!

But after her husband and in-laws died, Sun Qin, who was alone and powerless, childless, and an outsider, was not able to hold onto those things.

In the eyes of people in ancient rural areas, Zhao Wan, although she also had the surname Zhao, was ultimately a person from another family who was going to marry out of the family, so how could she take the Zhao Household's property with her?

Therefore, no Zhao Household will hesitate to take away Sun Qin's assets in Clear Creek Village.

As for the villagers, faced with the Zhao Household's superior numbers, they naturally wouldn't stand up for Sun Qin, a widow who didn't even have a son.

Those who are attracted to Sun Qin's looks and offer her some assistance in daily life are already doing a great favor.

Having learned that lesson, Sun Qin understood better than most that the symbols representing power were far more important than gold!

To put it in real-world terms, it's like my neighbor hoards food while I hoard guns; my neighbor is my granary!

"Lord Yi Yun!"

"Don't thank me yet." Looking at Sun Qin, Yin Yunze didn't forget to give her a warning. "There's a reward for every action; if you mess it up..."

"If this is messed up, Sun Qin will come to me with her head!"

This time, Sun Qin was truly determined.

"What would I do with your head?" Looking at Sun Qin, Yin Yunze said indifferently, "At most, I'll just choose someone else to work for me!"

With Zhao Wan in mind, Yin Yunze naturally cannot give up on Sun Qin at this stage.

That's precisely why Yin Yunze needed to give Sun Qin a warning, to prevent her from becoming arrogant because of his favor.

This time, it was Yin Yunze who truly needed it, so it wasn't a big deal for Sun Qin to use his words to belittle others.

But what if next time, when Yin Yunze isn't looking, Sun Qin uses his words to get land for herself?

There are countless such cases in history books.

Even those who go down in history cannot escape this fate, so how could Yin Yunze be sure that Sun Qin, a village woman, wouldn't be the same?

Once or twice is one thing, but if it happens repeatedly, it will only damage Yin Yunze's reputation.

"I understand!" Her heart tightened, and Sun Qin quickly assured him, "I will definitely not let Lord Yi Yun down!"

"That's all for today."

After thinking it over, and seeing that there was nothing else to do, Yin Yunze left this world after saying a few words.

Seeing that it was getting late, Yin Yunze went downstairs to a noodle shop for dinner and then began his preparations in the real world.

Yin Yunze first found a woman with a pleasing art style on a professional platform to design an image that suited the Nine-Tailed Fox, Green Hill Yi Yun.

After some in-depth discussions, Yin Yunze tentatively decided on the image of the deity as a white-haired, green-eyed fox-eared girl with nine large white tails on her back, dressed in a green-themed studio-style palace dress, holding a clean bottle in one hand and a branch of a tree adorned with jewels in the other.

In terms of personal preference, Yin Yunze actually prefers the image of a white-haired, red-eyed character.

However, the lady said that if the character were to be depicted as a deity, the color red would appear somewhat cold and unapproachable. Green would be a better choice and would better suit the current image of an agricultural deity.

The jade bottle and the precious tree branch were added after drawing on mythological elements.

I always feel a bit empty if I don't hold something in my hand. Holding something in my hand is more in line with the characteristics of an immortal.

Although, after overall discussion, Yin Yunze felt that the character design of Green Hill Yi Yun seemed a bit too anime-like, it was ultimately Yin Yunze's own fox spirit persona, and since it didn't offend any other deities, satisfying his own preferences was naturally more important.

By the time all the details were finalized and the submission time was agreed upon, it was already late at night.

Unexpectedly, this simplest task took so long, so Yin Yunze had to postpone the creation of the statues and temples until tomorrow.

Stretching and preparing to wash up, Yin Yunze inadvertently noticed the characters scattered on the bedside table, characters he had brought back from that other world.

Looking at the talismans he had created, Yin Yunze suddenly had an idea.

Although the Power of Incense Offerings is unusable in this real world, what about these characters sealed with the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi?

After all, from the beginning, Yin Yunze had designed it so that ordinary people could also use it.

I had never thought about it that way before, so I didn't pay much attention to it.

Realizing this, Yin Yunze could no longer suppress his impulse.
