I am a boss in the world of nine uncles

Looking at the scene of dazzling green light and towering divine trees before him, Qin Yao smiled silently. He raised his hand and pointed, and a malevolent character flew out of his divine kingdom like a dragon, breaking through the void and being branded on the old demon's forehead with a bang.

The old demon's expression stiffened slightly, then he took the initiative to retract the towering tree that was floating behind him, knelt down and kowtowed: "The Wind Mountain Tree Demon greets its master."

Qin Yao nodded slightly, then turned and pointed to the Liu family residence: "From now on, you will stay in this courtyard and guard this residence and the Liu family."

"Yes."

The Wind Mountain Tree Demon rose to accept the order, its body transforming into a streak of green light as it rushed into the Liu family's courtyard, where it transformed into a thick, sturdy tree in the center.

Only then did Liu Yanchang inside the courtyard, the Tian family father and daughter outside, and Chen Xiang suddenly come to their senses, their gazes constantly shifting between the big tree and Qin Yao.

"Is there a problem?" Qin Yao asked.

"Master Qin, how did you do that?" Tian Lei asked, his face filled with shock and his voice trembling.

He had considered that the tree demon might not be a match for this Master Qin, but he never imagined, nor dared to imagine, that the other party could subdue the tree demon with a single character with just a thought!

Qin Yao said, "It's just a supernatural ability, nothing to mention. Daoist Tian, ​​let's continue on our way."

Tian Lei: "..."

Is it just a supernatural power?
This Master Qin must be a first-rate immortal or god, and even among immortals and gods, he is an extraordinary existence!

In the blink of an eye.

The Tian family father and daughter led the father and son into a manor and into a "treasure trove," where they enthusiastically introduced them to a series of ingenious magical artifacts, such as the Soul-Chasing Flute, the Thousand-Mile Arrow, the Demon-Capturing Blade, and the Demon-Slaying Powder.

What's strange is that, apart from demon-catching tools like demon-slaying powder, most of these magical artifacts have a demon-locking function.

Specifically, when not harmed by these magical artifacts, they can freely sense demonic energy; however, if one is harmed by these artifacts, they can pinpoint the location precisely within a certain distance, with a level of sophistication comparable to map navigation.

"Master Qin, look, there's also this, a large-capacity water gun."

Finally, Tian Lei handed a large-bellied water gun made of bamboo tube to Qin Yao, pointing to a lever on the handle and saying:
"If you press it down, the water stored inside will spray out, which can be used for fire extinguishing and cleaning."

Qin Yao took the water gun with both hands and couldn't help but ask, "Master Tian, ​​have you ever been to the lower realm?"

"Netherworld?"

Tian Lei blinked and said, "No, I was born in the Immortal Realm and don't know how to go down to the mortal realm."

"If you haven't been there, you're simply a genius," Qin Yao praised.

Tian Lei chuckled and said modestly, "You flatter me, you flatter me..."

"No, no," Qin Yao waved his hand and said, "If any immortal sect could obtain you and fully support your research, it would be like adding wings to a tiger!"

Tian Lei's heart stirred slightly, and he asked, "May I ask which school of Daoist Qin comes from?"

Qin Yao responded, "To be honest, I am from the Maoshan lineage."

"The Maoshan Sect?" Tian Lei's eyes widened in surprise. "A prestigious and orthodox sect!"

Qin Yao smiled slightly: "And Master Tian, ​​may I ask which school you studied under?"

Tian Lei waved his hand and said, seemingly casually, "I'm just a rogue cultivator, without any sect or faction. Please excuse my ignorance."

Qin Yao then said, "It's good to be a rogue cultivator. Rogue cultivators have more freedom of choice. I wonder if Daoist Tian would be willing to join my Maoshan Sect? I can be your introducer."

"Alright, then I'll leave it to Daoist Qin." Tian Lei said, cupping his hands in greeting.

Qin Yao nodded: "Then let's go. I'll take you to find Master Xiao Mao Jun."

Tian Lei gasped in shock: "Could it be Xiao Mao Jun, one of the Three Mao Ancestors?"

Qin Yao laughed and said, "Other Maoshan disciples wouldn't dare to use this name."

Tian Lei's mind went blank for a moment, and she felt dizzy.

So this connects you with Master Xiao Mao Jun?

The ups and downs of life are truly thrilling!
Shortly after.

Qin Yao led the three of them on a cloud to Changliang Mountain Cave, where they saw that on the cliff, Master Xiao Maojun was cultivating with Uncle Jiu and Aunt Zhe. The three of them were surrounded by immortal energy, which gathered spiritual energy from all directions, so much so that the beasts and birds in the mountain gathered together to take this opportunity to cultivate.

"Grandmaster, Master, Aunt Zhe..."

Just as Xiao Maojun looked up, Qin Yao descended on a cloud, calling out with a smile.

Uncle Nine and Aunt Sugarcane both opened their eyes. Upon seeing his figure, the former suddenly smiled and said, "Why are you here?"

Qin Yao led the three of them to them, then pointed to Tian Lei and said, "I've come to recommend talent to our ancestral master."

"Talented individuals?" All three turned to look, their expressions varying.

Tian Lei's heart tightened, and he immediately clasped his hands and said, "Junior Tian Lei greets all seniors."

Xiao Mao said, "No need for formalities... Qin Yao, why did you recommend him?"

Qin Yao said earnestly, "Although Tian Lei lacks immortal bones and exceptional talent in cultivation, he possesses unparalleled imagination and creativity..."

He then recounted everything he had seen in the Tian family's "treasure trove," which immediately piqued Xiao Maojun's interest, who slowly remarked, "In that case, he is indeed a talented individual."

Qin Yao smiled and nodded: "Of course, otherwise I wouldn't have acted as the middleman."

"Speaking of which, why don't you just take him as your apprentice?" Xiao Mao asked, puzzled.

Qin Yao turned around and pointed at Chen Xiang, saying, "Reporting to the Ancestral Master, I have been trying my best to cultivate my adopted son in the near future, so I am not able to do so."

"A progenitor?" All three were surprised.

Qin Yao nodded, but didn't offer any further explanation.

His plan can only be done, not talked about. The more he talks about it, the greater the risk, and the more losses he will suffer.

Xiao Maojun pondered for a moment, then turned to Uncle Jiu and said, "Since that's the case, Lin Jiu, why don't you accept him?"

"Yes."

Uncle Nine softly agreed, then looked at Tian Lei: "Would you be willing to become my disciple and Qin Yao's junior brother?"

"I am willing, very willing." Tian Lei was overjoyed and immediately knelt down three times and kowtowed nine times.

Qin Yao smiled to himself, thinking: With the full support of Maoshan, I wonder if Tian Lei will be able to research mecha in the future. If he can, that would be interesting.

"For the next three years, you will follow me and the Grandmaster to cultivate Taoism on Changliang Mountain," Uncle Nine said gently as Tian Lei stood up.

Tian Lei pursed his lips and asked in a low voice, "Master, I have a request." "Speak freely," Uncle Jiu said, raising his hand.

Tian Lei quickly pulled her daughter in front of her and said sincerely, "This is my daughter, Tian Rui. Could you let her stay in Changliang Mountain as well?"

"Of course," Xiao Mao said with a smile. "More people means more fun..."

Seeing their harmonious interaction, Qin Yao felt relieved and clasped his hands in greeting, saying, "Grandmaster, Master, please continue your conversation. This disciple will take his leave now."

Xiao Mao said gently, "Go ahead. If you encounter any difficulties, you can come back to Changliang Mountain to find me anytime."

He was pleased with Qin Yao's recommendation, after all, for the Immortal Sect, talent is always the most important thing!
time flies.

On this day, inside the Liu residence.

As Chenxiang was absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in the courtyard, cultivating his foundation, a familiar voice suddenly rang in his ears: "Let's stop for a moment."

Slowly finishing his practice, he looked in the direction of the sound and saw that his adoptive father had appeared in front of him at some point, looking up at the sky.

"Father, what's wrong?"

"The celestial dog will soon devour the sun, so it's not advisable to cultivate. Otherwise, under the change of magnetic poles, it's easy to go astray and become possessed by evil spirits," Qin Yao replied.

"Tengu bites the sun?"

Chenxiang blinked, quickly stood up, and asked curiously, "What does this mean? Is a celestial dog coming out to eat the sun?"

Qin Yao laughed and said, "What kind of heavenly dog ​​dares to eat the sun? The so-called heavenly dog ​​devouring the sun is a kind of celestial change. When the sun is high in the sky, it indicates good or bad fortune, and the fate of each person changes with the heavenly secrets. But when a heavenly dog ​​comes to devour the sun, the universe is reversed and people go east or west."

When Yin is at its strongest, the Sun is at its weakest. When the celestial energy is enveloped by the brilliance of the stars, the universe is instantly reversed.

Even the universe is turned upside down, and you still want to cultivate? You're bound to run into trouble.

Chenxiang seemed to understand, but was about to speak when he noticed the sky rapidly darkening.

Looking up, a dark shadow gradually covered the red sun, just like a celestial dog swallowing the sun...

At the same time, Qin Yao silently took out the Lotus Lantern, which emitted a dazzling seven-colored light, illuminating the Liu family's residence in the darkness.

The Seventh Heaven, the Qionghua Palace.

The fairy, with her delicate features and a long blue and white dress, suddenly turned around and looked at the long table in the hall. She saw that the exquisite jade pillar, about three feet long, was shining with a faint light, as if it had sensed something.

"The Lotus Lantern?!"

Suddenly, the thought flashed into his mind like lightning, causing his immortal body to tremble uncontrollably.

Others might not know, but she had been in Qionghua Palace for so many years and had heard the Jade Fairy say that the jade pillar and the Lotus Lantern were originally one.

Now that the jade pillar has reacted, doesn't that mean the Lotus Lantern has been reborn?
If that's the case, if I could bring the long-lost Lotus Lantern back to Heaven, then perhaps I wouldn't be just a lowly palace maid anymore, but the Fairy of Qionghua in the Qionghua Palace!
Thinking of this, she hurriedly rushed over, grabbed the jade pillar in her palm, and immediately sensed the faint trace of the Lotus Lantern...

But just as she turned around with joy and anticipation, she saw two figures, one tall and one short, blocking the dark gate. Their armor was particularly dazzling under the light of the jade pillar.

The palace maid's eyelids twitched, and she silently raised the jade pillar in her hand. Only then did she realize that the visitors were actually Erlang Shen and his dog, Xiaotianquan, and she couldn't help but tremble.

Since Erlang Shen took over the laws of Heaven, almost no god in the Heavenly Realm, except for those Great Golden Immortals, is afraid of him, let alone a minor immortal like himself.

"Ta Xue, what are you rushing off to?"

Erlang Shen glanced deeply at the precious lotus jade pillar in Ta Xue's hand, and asked indifferently.

Twenty-two years ago, when the Lotus Lantern was lost, he rushed back to the Jade Void Palace and asked the Sage to help him calculate the whereabouts of this sacred artifact.

But the sage said that the secrets of heaven are chaotic, and since the Lotus Lantern is a sacred artifact, he could not determine its exact location.

The only thing they could tell him was that there was a jade pillar in the Qionghua Palace of the Seventh Heaven that could sense the location of the Lotus Lantern.

However, since he did not want to retrieve the Lotus Lantern for the Heavenly Court, but instead wanted to keep this sacred object for himself, he did not dare to take the jade pillar. He was waiting for the change of the heavens, when all the surveillance of the Heavenly Court would become ineffective, so that he could secretly take the jade pillar away.

This wait lasted a full twenty-two years. But unexpectedly, after finally witnessing the celestial dog devour the sun, a mere palace maid responsible for cleaning the Qionghua Palace dared to covet the Lotus Lantern!
"Reporting to Erlang Shen, it suddenly got dark, and I want to go out and see what's going on," Taxue said softly, her right hand gripping the jade pillar tightly.

Erlang Shen calmly said, "You think such a clumsy lie can fool me? You want to go find the Lotus Lantern, don't you?"

Ta Xue's mind sank to the bottom, but then she realized something and asked bluntly, "Why has the True Lord come? Could it be that you're here for this jade pillar?"

Erlang Shen raised an eyebrow and said, "You're very clever... Give me the jade pillar, and then keep this matter to yourself. I'll guarantee you a worry-free life."

Ta Xue silently licked her lips and said, "I want to be the Fairy of the Jade Flower."

Erlangshen: "..."

A mere palace maid, yet she dared to dream of becoming the Fairy of Qionghua. In his eyes, this was undoubtedly greedy, even insatiable.

But just as his eyes grew colder, Ta Xue said again, "The True Lord holds a high position and wields great power, yet he also attracts countless gazes."

A short absence is acceptable, but a long absence will inevitably be noticed, which will prevent you from searching for the Lotus Lantern for an extended period.

"If this task is to be given to someone else, it would be better to give it to me, Little Fairy. I am willing to serve you, True Lord."

Besides wanting to become the Fairy of Qionghua, she was also worried that she would be silenced afterward.

After all, only immortals whose souls have been scattered can truly keep the secret. Who knows if Erlang Shen will want to kill him?
Therefore, cooperation is the best solution she can think of right now, balancing her future and her destiny!

Erlang Shen slowly narrowed his eyes, pondered for a moment, and then said softly, "Why should I believe you?"

Ta Xue said sincerely, "You can only trust me, otherwise I will never hand over this treasure."

But if you forcibly take it, whether you kill me or not, there will be endless trouble in the future.

"My lord, I'm not threatening you, but hoping you can give me a chance."

Erlang Shen stared at her for a long time, then turned around and said, "Alright, I'll trust you this once. If you can successfully help me retrieve the Lotus Lantern, I will do everything in my power to elevate you to the rank of a celestial being!"

Watching him leave quickly with Xiaotian Dog, Taxue secretly breathed a sigh of relief, only then realizing that her back was soaked with sweat.

Erlang Shen's aura was truly overwhelming; being able to grit her teeth and reach this verbal agreement was already the limit of what she could do.

After a while.

Before the celestial dog devoured the sun, Ta Xue hurriedly flew out of Qionghua Palace. Guided by Baolian Yuzhu, she arrived at the sky above Luzhou City at top speed and locked her eyes on a family with a large tree planted in their yard.

Through the Lotus Jade Pillar, she could clearly sense that the Lotus Lantern must be in that courtyard!

However, what she didn't know was that there was not only a Lotus Lantern in this courtyard, but also a god who controlled a large number of spacetime laws.

At this moment, the entire courtyard was filled with the laws of spacetime, like an invisible spider web, quietly waiting for its prey to arrive... (End of Chapter)
