I have to get lucky right away.

Chapter 473 Branch Cities Surround the Main City
"So, do you have any further questions?"

Seeing that Wild Chicken No. 1, which had completely transformed into Minghui's appearance, raised its head again, Feng Xue immediately asked.

"It's very clear. All the behavioral habits, the scope of the social circle, and the specific action plans are all very clear. Even if there are details that I don't remember, I can retrieve them at any time. It's very convenient." Wild Chicken No. 1's tone was very surprised, as if someone who had spent their whole life doing mental calculations suddenly knew that there was such a thing as a calculator.

Feng Xue nodded, took out a wisp of vital energy, and handed it over:

“My willpower is too pure, it’s risky for you to take it out. You absorb this willpower, and then hand over the impure willpower produced by burning your own materialized willpower. The rest will be your operating funds. You don’t need to do anything for a short period of time. Just stabilize this identity and come back regularly to collect ‘taxes’. Make sure no other tax officials come.”

"You can spread some rumors appropriately, such as that I am a second-generation rich kid from who-knows-where, possibly with a powerful background, and that I am aggrieved by the taxes. Just make it up based on what this guy remembers, but don't go too far. It's best to say it with a hint of joy, like a bit of showing off, so that people feel that even though I'm hard to please, you've still made some money."

"The main idea is to discourage higher-ranking tax officials from coming here and attract some tax officials of the same or lower rank as Minghui. Then we can use the same method to replace more mid-level tax officials."

"Finally, there's this transformation spell. You should already know how to use it. Your most important task right now is to practice this spell until you're proficient. Also, if you lose consciousness, the spell will disappear. However, ghosts don't need to sleep. As long as you're careful, you should be fine. If you're exposed, run away immediately. All the ghost kings around here are our people. Just go to any one of them and you'll be safe. Do you understand?"

"Understood!" Wild Chicken Number One nodded, without saying anything about vowing to complete the mission to the death. He simply absorbed the vital energy that Feng Xue handed him, then revealed a solemn and dignified appearance, smiling as he said:
"Lord of the city, I am the tax official in charge of the tax revenue of this branch city No. 1744. May I ask if I may conduct some research in the city for a few days?"

Seeing the young man get into character in a second, Feng Xue nodded inwardly and then nodded solemnly, saying, "Of course, Master, please do as you please. Just let me know if you need anything."

As Wild Chicken No. 1 donned his disguise and left, the remaining Wild Chickens couldn't help but show envy in their eyes.

But they didn't say anything. After all, when it comes to technology, if you can't compete, you can't compete. If someone is better than you, they naturally have the right to compete.

Having been a ghost for so many years, the thought of being extraordinary has long been swept away. Now, all that remains is the great vow to eliminate Buddhism in peace.

"Don't rush. Since I sent you here, it's not to watch your teammates go to war. Minghui, this bald monk has a complete system of knowledge about administrators, city lords, and tax officials. What you need to do next is to familiarize yourself with this knowledge, and then take the funds I've given you, select some disciples who have also lit up the Wild Chicken Star, go to other cities, replace the city lords or administrators there, and slowly spread the Ziwei Cantong Qi. Then send your subordinates to more cities to become administrators or city lords there."

Feng Xue's meaning was very simple, and the seven pheasants immediately understood the key point. The second pheasant thought for a moment before speaking: "The administrator and the city lord are probably very strong. With our strength, it will be difficult to defeat them."

"That's why I asked you to bring some of your apprentices with you!" Feng Xue sighed, pointing to Minghui on the ground.
"The Sealing Technique can immobilize ordinary administrators like Guizhen with ten ghosts that have lit their Heart Candles. As for tax officials, a hundred or so would be enough to take them down. You each take twenty wild chickens and set off to observe their behavior patterns, then immobilize them. Brainwashing and mind-reading spells are all in the Ziwei Cantong Qi. Is it difficult to rise in rank? After you replace them, you can slowly train new people. When your disciples are capable of handling things independently, have them lead the new recruits trained in the new city to set off. It's a continuous process of experienced people mentoring new ones. Don't you understand?"

At this point, Feng Xue suddenly sighed and said:

"Think more! The Heart Candle system is a system for seeking the Dao. The candlelight is not only for illuminating your own path, but also for lighting the way for others. Why do we have you take on apprentices instead of subordinates? Because teaching that aligns with the Heart Candle and its essence can evolve your own inner flame. When you reach the state of passing on the torch, you can spread a sense of peace, just like I do. I don't expect you to spread it throughout the city, but find some neglected and unhappy souls, illuminate them with the Heart Candle, tell them there is a way to escape their current situation, and teach them the Ziwei Cantong Qi. Do you understand?"

"Understood!" The seven pheasants nodded immediately. Now that things had been explained to this extent, if they still didn't understand, then they really were pheasants.

Seeing their straightforward answers, Feng Xue was still a little uneasy. She sighed and tested them with a few more questions to make sure they truly understood what to do. Then, she gave each of them a drop of Emperor's Elixir and copied down Minghui's years of experience and lessons learned from her scheming and struggles.

The combination of Emperor's Dew and the Enlightenment Technique is truly astonishing. Once the relevant knowledge is acquired, it can be immediately shared with all those who need it.

However, knowledge is ultimately just knowledge. The extent to which it can be utilized depends on an individual's understanding and comprehension. This is why Feng Xue only gave the elixir to eight carefully selected "wild chicken emperors" instead of giving each person one portion.

Acting skills require experience, and those greenhorns can be used to help these high-level prostitutes improve their inner strength.

The sudden loss of less than two hundred people in a ghost city with millions of ghosts is not enough to attract anyone's attention, especially since these ghosts have been numb for decades or even centuries and have long since lost contact with each other. Perhaps only those who have recently reconnected with the city lord can deduce from events such as the city lord's sudden selection of actors that these new friends are probably on some kind of mission.
As for Feng Xue, he didn't ask these "wild chickens" to do anything. Apart from playing their substitute roles, they didn't need to do anything else. After all, their very existence was Feng Xue's, or rather, Xiao Lingdang's, eyes.

The Emperor's Flowing Dew is Xiaolingdang's computing power, which means that they have become Xiaolingdang's chosen ones. Using them as a springboard, Xiaolingdang can gather information about her surroundings in a way that is far more efficient than the ghosts asking around on their own.

"AI virtual gods, truly a masterpiece of nature!"
