Being a talent in the Chusheng Demon Sect

Chapter 468 Let's suffer a little more, Senior Brother Zhao
"Senior Brother Zhao, you're really unlucky."

Inside the interrogation room of the Capital Celestial Bureau, Lü Yang looked at Zhao Xuhe, who was hanging in the air, barely alive, and who had obviously been beaten countless times, and sighed.

Zhao Xuhe was a pitiful person, too.

After breaking up with Lü Yang, he was doing well in the Dao Court, but during a routine training session, he accidentally revealed the Nine Transformations Dragon Technique that he was now mainly cultivating.

Then everything changed. The [Capital Heaven Division] arrested him that very day, sought instructions, and then various experts took turns attacking. They unleashed a massive memory restoration spell, asking, "Are you going to talk or not?" Zhao Xuhe was completely stunned before he could even react. "None of you asked me!"
However, he is, after all, a disciple of the Holy Sect.

Upon learning that Zhiting's target was the Nine Transformations Dragon Technique, yet he hadn't directly searched the soul, seemingly out of some kind of apprehension, he gritted his teeth.

No matter how you try to recover your memory, I just can't remember.

Because he understood it very well:

'If I tell them, I'm dead. If I don't, they won't get what they want, and I might still have a chance. After all, only I know the Nine Transformations Dragon Technique!'

Just then, the cell door opened.

Zhao Xuhe looked up and saw that the newcomer was a remarkable young man with a powerful aura that seemed even more terrifying than his master.

However, similar people have come before in the past few days. Zhao Xuhe took a deep breath and said weakly, "You don't need to waste your energy anymore. I won't say anything, but I'm not afraid to tell you. No one knows this true skill except me. If I die, everything will be gone!"

So hurry up and recruit me!

Zhao Xuhe felt a surge of excitement. He keenly realized that what was happening before him might be a crisis, but it was also an opportunity. After all, he could also be loyal to the Dao Court!
The Daoist court really wants his cultivation technique.

If they can't get him, they'll definitely try to recruit him. With the Dao Court's guidance, he might even become a Foundation Establishment True Person more easily in the future!

Thinking this, Zhao Xuhe became even more determined. The disciples of the Holy Sect never lacked the will to climb higher. As long as there was hope of reaching the Foundation Establishment stage, he could endure any hardship; what was mere torture? If this were within the Holy Sect, countless people would want to take this path but fail!

"You all get out."

Seeing Zhao Xuhe's determined expression, Lü Yang waved his hand, dismissing the [Dutiansi] warriors who had come with him, and then sat down in front of Zhao Xuhe.

Within the sea of ​​consciousness, the blessed land of Xuandu trembled slightly.

'Hmm, nobody's watching.'

Lu Yang nodded in satisfaction, and then, under Zhao Xuhe's bewildered gaze, without asking a single question, he took out the jade slip and began to record.

The Nine Transformations Dragon Technique? I know it!
Not only that, I also know the more advanced "Ten Thousand Chariots Ascending to Immortality Scroll"! I can even write down some cultivation tips and knowledge points!
In Lü Yang's view, this was simply a great achievement bestowed upon him by heaven!

Therefore, he didn't interrogate Zhao Xuhe at all, but directly wrote down the contents of the cultivation method from memory, and then used the [puppet] to manipulate Zhao Xuhe to sign and affix his seal.

You're done!

As for Zhao Xuhe? Lü Yang was a kind-hearted man and couldn't bear to see him continue to suffer and be tortured, so he simply sent him to reincarnation.

【Tianwu Palace】.

The current emperor of the Daoist court, known as the "Emperor Who Nourishes All Things," with the reign title of Jiayou, is currently sitting on the Daoist platform, reviewing the memorials submitted by various departments.

Just then, Eunuch An suddenly rushed in.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! There is good news!"

"Oh? What's the good news?"

Upon hearing this, Emperor Jiayou opened his eyes, and after a moment's thought, he guessed the good news the eunuch had mentioned: "That little dragon really did manage to find out the cultivation technique?"

"Your Majesty clearly shows you!"

Eunuch An hurriedly said loudly, "The world is in His Majesty's hands. His Majesty's heart is brighter than the sun and moon. It is indeed Du Huan who has made great contributions."

"Send it up."

As soon as Emperor Jiayou finished speaking, Eunuch An immediately presented the secret scroll of cultivation techniques that Lü Yang had "interrogated" him. Emperor Jiayou scanned it with his divine sense, and a look of satisfaction immediately appeared on his face. With his cultivation level, he could naturally tell the authenticity of the cultivation technique at a glance. More importantly, what mattered was:
'No cause and effect were involved!'

If one obtains the "Nine Transformations Dragon Technique" through soul-searching, it will inevitably trigger the karmic web and attract the attention of the Pure Land, thus not only failing to achieve anything but also incurring blame. However, what is obtained through interrogation is different.

Because it was Zhao Xuhe who "voluntarily" handed it over, although there were causal fluctuations, even a Foundation Establishment cultivator could easily conceal it, so as not to alarm the Pure Land.

Thinking of this, Emperor Jiayou became even more satisfied.

With a thought, Lü Yang's records in the [Immortal Kingdom Dao Laws] immediately appeared before his eyes, including the matter of choosing enlightenment when receiving his salary.

Emperor Jiayou was not surprised by this.

After all, while the blessing of the [Immortal Kingdom's Dao Laws] is useless to most officials who rely on their official positions, it is a treasure to those who can cultivate independently.

Lü Yang's choice was within his expectations.

'Does he want to digest the Dao of [Midday Fire] as soon as possible?' Emperor Jiayou pondered in his heart, then chuckled. If that's the case, why not grant his wish?
"Reveal my decree."

Emperor Jiayou, with his golden words, calmly said, "True Dragon Du Huan has rendered meritorious service to the country; he shall be awarded the highest salary."

In the Daoist court, "one yuan" refers to a hundred years, and the Daoist court distributes salaries once every hundred years. Therefore, Emperor Jiayou rewarded Lü Yang with a salary three times over with just one sentence!
Almost simultaneously, Lü Yang within the [Capital Celestial Bureau] sensed something.

The [Immortal Kingdom Laws] descended with radiant light, delivering Emperor Jiayou's edict and simultaneously granting him the authority to receive three streams of salary in his official account.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Lü Yang immediately stood still, flicked his right hand, and with a resolute expression, declared in a passionate and resounding voice: "Loyalty! Sincerity!"

Emperor Jiayou withdrew his gaze with satisfaction.

Almost simultaneously, Lü Yang also saw that on the panel of the [Hundred Lifetimes Book], the golden talent [Not Subordinate to Others] was suddenly lit up and shone brightly.

'This means your talent has been activated.'

[Never be subservient to others: The more outstanding you are in your boss's eyes, the more valued you are by your boss, and the more bonuses you will receive when you betray your boss.]

Lu Yang realized that the fact that this talent had been activated meant that he had truly caught the eye of Emperor Jiayou. If he chose to betray him at this moment, he could already get the minimum bonus. Thinking of this, he immediately realized that this was also a tool that could monitor favorability!

'The brighter my talent, the more trustworthy I am in Emperor Jiayou's eyes.'

'Conversely, if my talent is lackluster, it means the other party is wary of me, so I must plan ahead. I never expected it to be so useful!'

Just as Lü Yang was pondering.

Suddenly, a warm sensation surged from his chest. Lu Yang frowned and took out the source of the warmth, which turned out to be a shimmering, fluorescent scale.

'This is... the scale of the Dragon King!'

Lu Yang's heart stirred slightly. This was clearly a gift from the Dragon Lord, who was far away overseas, to Du Huan, so that he could keep track of the True Dragon Clan's situation in Jiangdong at any time.

And now, the Dragon King has sent a message.

'But...perfect!'

Although Lu Yang was surprised, he remained calm. After all, with the effect of the "Cuckoo in the Nest" talent, he looked exactly like the real Dragon King Du Huan.

Thinking of this, he immediately activated the scales.

Immediately afterwards, layers of white mist emerged from the scales, transforming into a cloud of celebration, from which a pair of golden eyes as large as copper bells opened.

"Ok?"

The next second, a hint of doubt appeared in his golden eyes.

In his imagination, his grandson should be in a very bad situation, full of grievances with nowhere to confide in, and even resentful towards him.

But what is the reality?
What came into his view was a dashing young man in an official robe, with a prominent and distinguished appearance. He showed no signs of being frustrated at all; on the contrary, he was quite pleased with himself!
