Chapter 107 The Efficiency of an Immortal Lord

"Edict!"

In the council hall, after a heated argument, the Thirteenth Uncle finally gained the upper hand and persuaded the patriarch and the old ancestor. At this moment, he made a hand seal and gave an order!
The talisman that had just been written flew out of the hall with a "whoosh" and into the vast wind and rain outside the door.

The people in the hall were still red-faced and visibly angry, divided into two factions, looking at each other as if they were enemies.

After all, this matter is extremely serious!
Once the talisman flies out and the news gets out, it means that they and the Hu family of Jizhou have become mortal enemies, with no room for maneuver!
Uncle Thirteen sat in a chair and stroked his beard.

"Everyone, please have some water first and calm down."

"No matter how much everyone argues, it's all for the sake of the family's survival."

"This time, I'm 70% confident that I can understand the higher-ups' intentions and make a fortune."

"The Buwu Hall is a newly established immortal abode, which is extremely efficient and doesn't involve many complicated procedures."

“Once the talisman is issued, the Day-Roaming God will take over within three days.”

"After the God of War takes over, the supplies will be delivered to the Wu Hall of Lingxiao Palace within seven days."

"The clerks in the main hall will surely review and process it within ten days or a month."

"The immortal lords in charge of the main hall will see the news by the end of the month at the latest."

"That means we'll receive the results in a month."

Some people in the hall were full of hope, while others shook their heads and sighed.

But the talisman had already been issued and couldn't be retrieved, so this was the only option.

At the entrance of the council hall, Chen Xie was stunned.

"High efficiency?"

"A month?"

How are these six characters "Nima" connected?

A month later, Donghu City will probably have been completely devoured by the Hu family!
A month later, he would be found eight times by the Ling Tou Office and the Hu family of Jizhou!

At the highest point of the council hall, the patriarch spoke coldly.

"Gentlemen, let's stop here for today..."

Before he finished speaking, a whistle was heard and the wind and rain poured down from the sky!

A scroll of imperial edict flew into the hall, unfurling in the wind and rain. The calligraphy on it flowed like dragons and snakes, radiating brilliance, and the chanting resounded like a great bell!
"Announcing the decree of the Immortal Lord Xuan Lingyi:"

"The Chen family of the Green State deeply understands the Way of Heaven and is keenly aware of the mysteries of the universe. They went to the front lines without receiving a decree and dared to sacrifice themselves without being ordered to do so. In particular, their son Chen Xie was alone in distress, and his loyalty and courage were as bright as the stars and as resounding as the immortals."

"Chen Xie was specially granted the title of Protector of the Dharma, and was given a second-stage Golden Elixir. He was also promoted to Deputy Director of the Pulin Hongwen Bookstore."

"As for the accusations made by Chen against the Hu family for corruption, the Censorate has been ordered to conduct a thorough investigation."

"But if there is evidence of wrongdoing, Lei Fu will not be spared!"

"So be it!"

In the council chamber, everyone's faces were blank.

No one, including the Thirteenth Uncle, expected that the Immortal Lord's reply would come so decisively and so quickly!
Thirteenth Uncle was the first to react. He immediately stood up from his chair, knelt down with a thud, and kowtowed to the imperial decree!

"I will obey the Immortal Lord's decree!"

The Chen family's patriarch and head of the family, along with all the uncles, elders, and descendants of three generations, finally reacted, rising to their feet, kneeling, and kowtowing, their voices echoing in unison.

"I will obey the Immortal Lord's decree!"

Amidst the raging wind and rain, two cranes flew into the council hall, one after the other.

One crane held a white snake egg in its beak, and the other held a second-stage immortal pill in its beak. As if they recognized each other, they flew to the top of Chen Xie's head, who was staring in disbelief, and circled around.

Chen Xie was completely dumbfounded.

This...this is so sudden...

Then he heard his thirteenth uncle's excited voice in his ear.

"Don't just stand there like an idiot, kneel down, kowtow, and then reach out to accept the reward!"

……

Blah blah blah...

Heavy rain fell on the transparent dome of the giant black cloud.

Under the dome, Wu Yun was holding a laptop, reviewing the contestants' answers.

"This... um... is it written correctly?"

He didn't really understand it either.

But... he can try.

At this moment, following the line of thought in this answer, he kept adjusting an ice ball floating next to him... Inside this ice ball were crisscrossing pipes, some of which flowed with cold water, and some of which had white clouds floating in them.

As the water flowed and the clouds drifted... the ice puck even throbbed slightly, like a heart, as if it had come to life!

Click...

The puck shattered, scattering debris and cold water all over the ground.

Wu Yun marked the answer on the screen with an "X". "Wrong calculation, out of the game."

He squinted and pondered for a moment.

"But that crack just now, the gas venting before it exploded, seems a bit interesting..."

After thinking it over, he wrote down this little inspiration and began to review the next answer.

……

Inside the council chamber.

The imperial edict has already fallen into the hands of the family head.

The cranes have already flown away.

The wind and rain outside the door were still cold and bleak.

The atmosphere inside the hall was incredibly lively.

The patriarch descended from the high place, and together with the patriarch and his uncles, walked up to Chen Xie.

"Hahaha, kid, well done."

"They went to their deaths without receiving a clear imperial edict, and dared to sacrifice themselves without being ordered to do so!"

"The immortal lord speaks very highly of you!"

"A two-stage Golden Elixir, that's a good thing!"

"After you eat it, it can ignore your constitution, destiny, and talent, and force you to cultivate five years' worth of Taoist skills every day."

"After thirty days of continuous irrigation, he has accumulated a total of one hundred and fifty years of cultivation!"

"Immortal Lord has reserved an eighth-rank hat for you, hahaha."

Chen Xie was also very sensible. At this moment, he smiled obsequiously and handed over the golden pill in his hand.

"I...I am not worthy to eat this...Please, Master..."

The patriarch smiled and shook his head.

He picked up the golden pill and personally fed it into Chen Xie's mouth.

He then picked up a cup of tea from the side and handed it to Chen Xie.

"Is it choking or not?"

"Give it a shot."

"Eat it."

Chen Xie obediently drank the tea, then tilted his head back and swallowed the elixir.

Then they took out the snake eggs of the human-faced snake.

This thing doesn't sound very sophisticated.

Just as he was about to say something, he saw the head of the family pick up the snake egg again, put it in his mouth, and then gesture for him to drink tea.

"Is it choking or not?"

"Give it a shot."

"Eat it."

Chen Xie, still half-asleep, took a sip of tea.

But the snake egg was too big and got stuck in his throat; he couldn't push it down!

"Cough cough cough..."

He coughed violently!
"Cough cough cough..."

He kept coughing!
The more I cough, the worse it gets; the more I cough, the more it hurts; the more I cough, the more dizzy I feel!

Finally, he coughed awake, sat up abruptly, and found himself still in the corner of the convenience store counter where the water and electricity were cut off. He coughed and coughed, spitting out a snake egg.

With a "crack," the snake egg split open in his palm.

Within the mucus and eggshell, a tiny snake, the size of a green caterpillar, emerges. It has a black body and a fair, human-like face. Although it is very small, it is exquisitely beautiful, like that of a star!

After being born, the baby snake was momentarily confused, but then looked around and quickly became familiar with its surroundings.

He met Chen Xie's gaze again, his eyes swirling with the four symbols and eight trigrams, like a whirlpool, rapidly reading through all of Chen Xie's memories.

"Um?

"Still at East Lake?"
"Imperial Censor?"
"A ninth-rank censor?"
"A ninth-rank censor??"

It can't understand!
Why would a ninth-rank imperial censor possess such strange magical abilities?

But its instinct to seek good fortune and avoid misfortune makes it immediately make the most correct choice!

I don't want to waste even a moment!

"Chen Xie, I'll get you out of here right now!"

Its tail touched a piece of eggshell, and the piece burst into flames with a "whoosh." The black smoke that rose from it condensed and did not dissipate, swirling around Chen Xie. In an instant, it disrupted space and overturned heaven and earth, carrying Chen Xie away with a "whoosh," fleeing thousands of miles away from East Lake.
