Spiritual energy resurgence? My former empress wife has also revived!

"Yin Hang, congratulations!"

"Old Yin, you're awesome! You've only been cultivating for a little over a year, and you're already close to reaching the second Qi Refining Realm."

"Yin Hang, aren't you going to treat us to a meal?"

"..."

At the Qiantang City Crisis Management Bureau, all the cultivators in the bureau were making fun of Yin Hang.

"Since everyone's saying so, let's go to Donghu No. 1 tonight. I'll book a private room and treat everyone to a meal. If you have a wife, girlfriend, or kids, bring them along!"

Yin Hang's father was a small factory owner, and he grew up surrounded by his father's influence, watching him drink and be humble in order to get a project.

He naturally understood how to socialize and interact with people.

Unless you are truly exceptional, never be arrogant or complacent, and always strive to maintain good relationships with your colleagues.

One of the monks from the management bureau exclaimed happily, "East Lake No. 1? Five hundred yuan per person, and they even let us bring our families! Old Yin is really going all out!"

"As expected of the geniuses of our Qiantang Administration Bureau this year, their actions are truly impressive."

"..."

Everyone laughed and joked with Yin Hang.

Yin Hang quickly waved his hand: "No, please don't call me a genius, I'm ashamed to even hear that."

"Yin Hang, you're not trying to compare yourself to those big shots, are you? We can't compare to them, so don't be too ambitious," one of Yin Hang's colleagues patted him on the shoulder and advised.

Yin Hang smiled awkwardly and didn't say anything more.

Having been in the Administration Bureau for just over a year and already engaged in cultivation, he has already reached the ninth level of Body Tempering. He is only one step away from cultivating magical power and reaching the second Qi Refining Realm.

Such an achievement is already top-tier among the cultivators trained within the Zhuxia region.

But Yin Hang knows his own situation best; he has absolutely nothing to do with being a genius.

In the first few months after joining the Administration Bureau, he barely managed to reach the second level of Body Tempering.

It wasn't until he came into contact with Brother Qin that his cultivation speed skyrocketed, and in just nine months, he was almost about to break through his cultivation realm.

But Yin Hang knew very well that every breakthrough in a cultivator's realm was extremely difficult.

It seems like there's only one step, but I might need several more months before I can truly reach the second Qi Refining Realm.

This was because he had learned a supreme sword cultivation method from Brother Qin, and because of his merits, he received basic cultivation pills as a reward from the state.

Although the spiritual energy is currently in a period of recovery, rare and precious natural materials are scarce, and top-grade pills cannot be refined.

However, there were still quite a few pills available for a novice cultivator like him.

With top-tier cultivation techniques and elixirs to support him, he could even shamelessly visit the East Lake Palace occasionally to soak up some of the spiritual energy there from Brother Qin.

Even the Sword Immortal once gave him a few pointers.

With so much external support, he's almost got the treatment of a protagonist in a typical novel, yet his cultivation speed is still so slow. It can only be said that his cultivation talent is really ordinary.

You should know that the cat that Brother Qin raised has already crossed the threshold of cultivation and developed magical power!

Sigh, I can't even compare to a cat.

Whenever he thinks about this, Yin Hang feels depressed.

As for the cultivation of those legendary masters?

From various autobiographies, it can be seen that it may only take half a month to a month for those big shots to break through to the second realm, and they may not even be practicing the most advanced techniques.

This is a true cultivation genius!

Yin Hang had never told anyone about the supreme sword cultivation method that Brother Qin had taught him.

A common man is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime; being too ostentatious can easily lead to one's death.

Especially in the cultivation world, it is truly a dog-eat-dog world where the slightest carelessness can be fatal.

Peng Shaoxun, the director of the Qiantang River Administration Bureau, went to the capital for an important meeting.

The current management department is headed by Deputy Director Ma Yingxun.

Yin Hang said to Ma Yingxun, "Director Ma, let's go together tonight. Bring your wife and your daughter along."

Ma Yingxun is about forty years old, older than Peng Shaoxun.

Among the first batch of non-reincarnated cultivators in the Zhuxia, his talent was considered average.

Of course, this so-called "ordinary" is only compared to that batch of cultivators. Being recruited by the country in the first batch of cultivators must have its own extraordinary qualities.

However, despite his advanced age, he only managed to become the deputy director of a branch office and did not have any experience such as joining the Yuanshi Daluo Sect.

Compared to geniuses like Peng Shaoxun, he is indeed slightly inferior.

Ma Yingxun thought for a moment and said, "Okay, those on duty stay at the bureau, the rest go to Donghu No. 1."

"Hopefully, I won't be eating when a mission suddenly comes up."

A chorus of complaints rippled through the administration: "Director Ma, can't we say something nicer?"

"Let's just treat this as a rare vacation; I don't want to suddenly have to run around doing missions again."

"..."

Ma Yingxun laughed and said, "That's not up to me. I can only hope that those people who are always causing trouble will shut up."

Since the exposure of monasticism to the world, cases related to monastics have increased dramatically, and the members of the Administration Bureau are now being treated like livestock.

In the past, in the cultivation world, those demons and evil sects would play all sorts of tricks and schemes.

In today's modern society, with the convenience of the Internet, those cult members are thriving.

If you randomly post some demonic cultivation methods, some real and some fake, online, people will boldly try them out.

Needless to say, the methods of cultivation in the demonic sect are all related to cruelty.

In particular, those genuine demonic techniques, even the most basic ones, can be practiced and cause immense harm to ordinary people.

Even for novice cultivators, dealing with such situations would be extremely dangerous for ordinary people, and these issues require the intervention of the Administration Bureau.

Sometimes, I'd even be woken up in the middle of the night by a phone call to go out and catch people for missions.

Many personnel from the National Administration also sacrificed their lives, and as members of the Administration, they received numerous obituaries.

Ma Yingxun sighed, "Those small countries like the Central Plains are still relatively good. If you knew about those smaller countries, you would understand how terrifying they are."

Large countries like the Xia Dynasty were able to maintain order, and many reincarnations of orthodox Xuanmen sects would cooperate with the local government.

But those small countries are truly in chaos, completely descending into a jungle society.

In small Latin American countries, drug cartels collaborate with demonic cultivators and otherworldly practitioners; the things they do are chilling even to read about.

Upon hearing Ma Yingxun's words, everyone present fell silent.

Some people wondered to themselves, is it really a good thing that cultivators have appeared in the world?

From an ordinary person's perspective, this is not a good thing.

The old order has been destroyed, and the cultivators who possess great power no longer regard ordinary people as human beings.

But since cultivators and reincarnated beings have already appeared, they cannot pretend not to know and can only adapt to the new rules of this world.

Everyone must find their place in this new order.

The crowd stopped speculating; such matters were not for them, the lowly Karami, to ponder—these were things for the big shots to consider.

Even if the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up. Let's go eat first!

Donghu No. 1, located beside Donghu Lake, is a well-known local private restaurant.

"Sister-in-law, you've arrived! Please have a seat!"

"Mr. Ma, your daughter is so grown up! She's so beautiful. Is she in middle school now?"

"..."

As family members of Deputy Director Ma, they were naturally honored guests in the private room.

To the outside world, the Administration has always disguised itself as a financial institution.

After all, the salaries of people in the bureau are not low, and only in the financial industry can such high incomes be seen.

Here, Director Ma naturally becomes General Manager Ma, even though he is the deputy general manager.

"Wow, I didn't know Mr. Ma's daughter was already so grown up. Mr. Ma, you got married quite early."

"Back then, I got married relatively early, unlike you guys now, none of you want to get married. You all have decent incomes, why don't you find a wife and settle down?"

"Mr. Ma, you're too kind. If we're going to find someone, we should find someone as virtuous as your wife. How about you introduce us to one of your best friends?"

"I'm already quite old, and my close friends are also not young. I'm not good enough for you young talents."

"How about Dandan helps introduce someone? Do you have any pretty female classmates?"

"???"

"Wow, Dandan's only in middle school, and her classmates are in middle school too! You're so annoying, give her a boost!"

"..."

A group of people were laughing and joking, making the dining table extremely lively.

Young people nowadays don't like drinking culture, and the management bureau also has strict requirements. No one drinks alcohol at the table; everyone drinks beverages.

As the conversation went on, it naturally turned to the autobiographies of those bigwigs, a topic that modern people can't avoid.

"Empress, Sword Immortal, Moon Goddess, who do you like?"

"Needless to say, it has to be the Moon Goddess! I've never seen a woman more beautiful than the Moon Goddess. She perfectly matches my fantasy of a fairy from the Moon Palace, and she's so virtuous too!"

"Moon Goddess!"

"I vote for the Moon Goddess."

"I think the Sword Immortal is the best; she's just as ethereal!"

"..."

Everyone was sharing their thoughts.

The vast majority of men chose the Moon Goddess.

The main reason is that she is simply too beautiful, so beautiful that she is otherworldly and ethereal, even more beautiful than a sword immortal, a beauty that computer CG cannot replicate.

In particular, everything about the Moon Goddess perfectly embodies the highest praise that the people of the Xia Dynasty had for women's virtues: virtuous, gentle, and kind. She is simply the ultimate embodiment of the Xia Dynasty men's ideal of women.

Following closely behind, the men chose the Sword Immortal.

In the Western Pacific Sword Tournament, this sword fairy has already demonstrated her unparalleled strength, and her flowing white robes perfectly match people's expectations of a fairy.

The autobiography "The Legend of the Sword Immortal" also reveals the character of this sword immortal, who is not overly arrogant and is even quite approachable.

Yin Hang also secretly cast his vote for the Sword Immortal.

The sword immortal had given him a couple of pointers, which could be considered a teaching favor, but it was mainly due to that bit of 'first love' sentiment.

Back then, a photo of Lou Guanxue's back was taken and circulated widely on the Chinese internet, making her the dream girl of many.

Yin Hang was also one of them.

The one with the fewest choices is the Empress.

Men seem to subconsciously ignore the Empress.

Whether it's the Sword Immortal or the Moon Goddess, photos of them have circulated.

There are a lot of photos of Jianxian, in particular, since she has actually shown her face to the whole world.

At least the Moon Goddess resides in the Moon Palace, and there's that beautiful picture of the sleeping laurel flower taken by the Moon Chariot.

The empress was the most mysterious; there has never been a photograph of her.

The title of "Empress" in particular carries a tremendous sense of oppression, and her autobiography portrays her as extremely fierce, making her a figure that most men would avoid.

In the presence of such a woman, anyone would likely only feel panic and fear.

At this moment, a member of the management bureau asked Ma Yingxun's daughter, "Dandan, who do you like?"

Without even thinking, Dandan blurted out, "Of course, it's the Empress!"

Well, a sword immortal is fine too, but definitely not a moon goddess.

Why, you ask?

At home, her parents would say, "Look, even a goddess like the Moon Goddess can wash dishes, cook, and do laundry. How come you're so lazy and do nothing?"

Go learn to cook, go wash your own clothes, go wash the dishes!

Just thinking about it terrifies her.

The powerful and independent demeanor of an empress is what modern women aspire to!

There have been online polls, and the voting choices of men and women are indeed completely opposite.

At this time,

A cultivator from the Administration Bureau, who was playing on his phone, suddenly exclaimed, "Holy crap, look at Yin Fu! Sword Immortal actually registered on Yin Fu and even posted videos!"

Upon hearing this, everyone at the dinner party paused for a moment, then quickly pulled out their phones and simultaneously turned on their music players.

Some phones didn't have musical notes on them, so I quickly downloaded one.

As soon as I opened the music app, my screen was completely flooded with that video.

In an elegantly designed garden, Lou Guanxue, dressed in flowing white robes, stood quietly, carrying a long sword on her back, exuding an indescribable ancient charm and unparalleled elegance.

This sword fairy, who was known as the number one sword immortal in the world at the beginning of the immortal path, had a beautiful and serene face.

She suddenly smiled, like a hundred flowers blooming, and her lips parted slightly: "The moon goddess Wangshu is an ancient deity who needs people's faith."

"Everyone in the Zhuxia region can silently recite her name when they have free time, or read her autobiography. On her behalf, I would like to express my gratitude to everyone."

"By the way, please also pay more attention to my phonetic symbols. I will also post some videos in my spare time to exchange ideas with everyone."

The video, which was less than twenty seconds long, instantly caused a sensation throughout China.

The posts were also being shared wildly on Weibo, Xiaohongshu, Bilibili, and Tieba, all online platforms where people communicate.

Although some content creators on the internet have been proven to be genuine spiritual practitioners, some of whom are even reincarnations.

But this is the first time that a powerful figure in the immortal path like Lou Guanxue has his own official account!

In particular, this big shot is not like those celebrities who have their studios manage their accounts; they are not close at all.

This sword immortal would even randomly select a few people to reply to in the comments section, which made him incredibly approachable!

In an instant,

The number of followers on the Yin Fuhao account operated under the real name "Lou Guanxue" skyrocketed.

Each refresh reveals astonishing changes in the numbers.

Just a few minutes later, the number of followers exceeded ten million.

It's estimated that this account will eventually have hundreds of millions of followers, easily becoming the person with the most followers of musical notes both domestically and internationally.

The people at the table looked at each other in bewilderment.

They were just talking about who they liked.

Look, even sword immortals are now personally promoting Moon Goddess products.

People of that caliber might have closer interactions in private, perhaps even being best friends?
