Immortal Mystery Sequence: I Establish a Divine Duty for Heaven and Earth

Chapter 92 Matters of Life and Death: New Class Unlock Conditions Confirmed

Rong Family Manor, with superior seeds in the fields.

Through this incident, Jiang Tu has used all the gains from breaking through to the sixth rank and has now taken possession of them.

Red Bean and Green Spirit, a small farmer's blessing; three grasses, one shadow and the other, hand in hand; all matters, big and small, are settled in an orderly manner.

With an open mind, he stood with his hands behind his back, unable to resist offering detailed comments.

This sixth rank truly represents a significant leap from the low to the middle realm. The method of consuming incense alone is already incredibly profound, not to mention the simultaneous transformation of the six techniques and the unknown new techniques that will allow for continuous improvement in cultivation in the future. Its potential is already evident.

If someone is already so accomplished at the sixth rank, what kind of spectacle will they be at the fifth, fourth, or even higher ranks?

He was increasingly looking forward to it.

But then I thought, it took him more than seventy years in the evolutionary process and more than fifty years in the present world to reach the sixth rank—how many years would it take to reach the fifth rank? Perhaps even a hundred years is not certain, it is definitely not something that can be rushed.

The path of cultivation is long and arduous; haste makes waste. He had long understood this principle and possessed ample patience.

Moreover, he has other avenues for development.

The "Viewer" profession is the second "Special Skill" category!

This new sequence is worth studying carefully and unlocking as soon as possible.

His fourth evolution began in the 49th year of the Jingtai reign, and now, 23 years later in the 4th year of the Shenglong reign, the evolutionary time has accumulated considerably, and it is actually time for the fifth evolution to begin.

But after careful consideration, he made a decision in secret.

To initiate the next evolution, at least 5 causality points are needed to upgrade the "Farmer" to level 5 and unlock new traits, or unlock a second profession and a new sequence—otherwise, the evolution efficiency may not be enough to deduce the fifth rank, and the world in the evolution is about to experience a catastrophe, requiring more trump cards—the second sequence is also what he desires most.

Choosing either one would lead to significant progress, at which point the fifth evolution would begin.

Gathering his thoughts, he was about to leave with the others when suddenly a scream rang out!

A clear, melodious cry of a falcon echoed through the sky, piercing through the clouds and descending. Sure enough, the gyrfalcon arrived late, circling once in the air before folding its wings and drifting down.

brush!

It landed steadily on Jiang Tu's shoulder, then transformed into a lazy, all-white cat, yawning and licking its paws while perched on his shoulder.

Yes, Wanxiang Caoren is also a cat lover, perhaps because of the little cat that Ning E embroidered back then.

You should know that this beast does nothing but eat and sleep all day, and someone even cleans its poop for it. Let alone Wanxiang the Grass Man, Jiang Tu thinks being a cat is better than that.

People feel much better now.

After decades of growth and experience, the Myriad-Faced Straw Man has developed a slight intelligence on the basis of absolute obedience. Although it is not as intelligent as the Spiritual Straw Man and Rong Yidao, it at least knows the instinct to please and follow its master.

Now that it's back with its owner, it's overjoyed, nuzzling Jiang Tu's cheek and making loud gurgling sounds in its throat.

Jiang Tu chuckled and reached out to take the straw figure.

Suddenly, the moment they made contact with the straw man, a strange change occurred!

The spiritual light of the agricultural path gathered, and the spiritual energy of all directions was revealed. A dense green light appeared, followed by a bright golden light!

Before long, when it fell into Jiang Tu's hands, it transformed into an insect spirit shrunken in his palm, indistinguishable from a real insect spirit.

Jiang Tu was greatly surprised, but then it dawned on him.

I almost forgot about the fact that the Myriad Forms Grass Doll gains an extra new effect every time he breaks through a major realm—it's a grass doll that can grow!

As he carefully perceived the sensations, he felt greatly comforted.

The absolute obedience characteristic remains unchanged, but the control range has increased dramatically from 400 li to 1000 li! Precise control is now possible over a much wider area.

Control, synchronize with the senses, and you can see the scenery thousands of miles away, greatly improving its effectiveness.

Furthermore, the transformation of all phenomena has greatly improved. Although it still cannot transform into a human, it can transform into various extraordinary earth spirits. As long as there is an earth spirit that has ever been born in the world, except for the deer spirit, it can transform into all of them and enjoy the same effects as that earth spirit.

For example, the insect spirit at this moment can also be used for covert communication, sending messages over thousands of miles as easily as using one's own arm.

As Jiang Tu broke through to a higher realm, the third new effect became even more extraordinary: "Transformation and Positional Change"!

As long as it is within the control range, Jiang Tu can instantly teleport to it, once a day.

It has a bit of a Trickster vibe to it!

They traveled thousands of miles to change locations, leaving no trace.

"Wonderful! Wonderful!"

If he really encounters trouble, he can instantly switch places with the Myriad Manifestations Grass Man, changing locations thousands of miles apart, thus averting danger from afar, and even have the Myriad Manifestations Grass Man take the blame for him — Hmm, thinking about it this way seems a bit far-fetched.

In short, with the transformation of the Myriad Manifestations Grass Man, his means of survival have been expanded once again!

This is more effective than any magic.

Jiang Tu had high praise for him, patting the white cat's head that had transformed back into its original form and laughing, "I thought advancing to the sixth rank would be a good thing..."

Everything has been almost accounted for, but who would have thought we'd forgotten such a great benefit! Wanxiang—where have you been playing all this time, arriving so late? If you had come earlier, you would have received this blessing sooner.

Myriad-Faced Straw Man: "?"

It tilted its head, its face blank.

Master, it's clearly you who's isolating me!

That's why it can't speak; otherwise, it would have spoken up and complained long ago.

I may not be human, but you are a real dog, master.

In the years that followed, Jiang Tu's life returned to normal. He diligently studied and sought opportunities to unlock new professions.

In the Jiang residence, a stage was often built high, with red silk hanging from the top, and gongs and drums resounded everywhere.

For days, the opera "Ning E Xian" was performed. The Qingmei Troupe and Guo Xiaodan from Taiji City have become the permanent opera troupes employed by the Jiang family, performing all year round.

This is no way.

Jiang Tu discovered that he could only increase his career progress bar by reading this play, "Ning E Xian," and the progress bar was increasing very slowly.

It's ridiculous that other plays don't increase viewership at all.

It was as if there was some hidden secret in this play, which others could not understand, but he could extract some brilliant insights from it.

Later, Jiang Tu spent a lot of money to have Guo Xiaodan spread the script of "Ning E Xian" so that opera troupes from all around could learn to sing it and it was sung everywhere.

This play was the result of three years of hard work by several playwrights in Guo Xiaodan's troupe. The singing style and lyrics were poignant and heart-wrenching, deeply touching people's hearts. Once it spread, it naturally generated a great response.

It quickly became a common repertoire in major cities in Jiangnan, and the melodious singing could often be heard from amateur enthusiasts in the streets and alleys.

He then took the opportunity to scatter the bean soldiers and straw men, so that they could also go to various places to watch "Ning E Xian" and fully understand every line of the song and every movement in the play.

Even so, the progress bar only increased a little bit faster, and it was still frustratingly slow.

One play is still not enough!

In the sixth year of the Shenglong era, Jiang Tu believed that he could no longer rely on "Ning E Xian" as a standalone play to unlock the progress bar, so he asked Guo Xiaodan's troupe to create more plays, which was also his suggestion to commission.

This method does have some effect; writing and rehearsing custom-made plays can increase the progress bar.

Later, not content with the small Qingmei Troupe, he invited all the literati and scholars from the surrounding villages and famous plays of Jiang Opera to his home, where they discussed new plays every day.

Talented scholars and beautiful women, feuds in the martial arts world, extraordinary romances between immortals and mortals, strange and bizarre tales—one play after another is written down, prolific as a sow!

Only then did the progress bar increase slightly.

He guessed that "to unlock the profession of 'viewer', one must indeed witness the warmth and coldness of human relationships and the myriad aspects of life, honing one's insight and understanding of human nature through a series of plays, thus inspiring one to write, stage, and watch plays with even greater effort."

He was incredibly extravagant, throwing lavish banquets day and night at the Jiang residence, seemingly determined to indulge in the drama even if it meant squandering his entire fortune.

The villagers and residents of the surrounding area did not find it too strange that the old man of the Jiang family was so obsessed with opera in his later years.

After all, he's over eighty years old, and his late wife loved Jiang opera—he's lived a low-key life, so what's wrong with having a hobby?

Moreover, he did not neglect farming or his spiritual practice. His fields yielded bountiful harvests year after year, and his trade routes were open in all directions, allowing him to make a fortune every day.

Zhou, the wealthy man, was quite satisfied with this. He was also a long-time opera enthusiast and often came to discuss opera with Jiang Tu, and they talked about the play together.

To discuss the new play.

The two old men sat in the audience, sipping tea, eating snacks, cracking melon seeds, cheering and applauding, and pointing out the skills of the new play performed on stage. They had the air of great directors, and their later years were truly full of fun and they were like-minded.

However, what surprised Jiang's family, including the farmer and the wealthy Zhou family, was that two new young housekeepers had appeared in the Jiang residence at some point, and they were a beautiful boy and girl.

I heard that it was bought from the brokerage by the young master Jiang Liu.

At first, Sherry thought it was unreliable to have the two little ones look after the house, but as time went on, she discovered that these two little housekeepers were capable and quick-witted, much smarter and more capable than she and Xianggua were when they were young.

Especially that child named Qingling, although his muscles were incredibly strong, he was efficient and reliable at work, and he was always available whenever needed.

The little girl named Hongdou was even more meticulous and thoughtful, managing the field tents in an orderly manner.

Sherry discovered that Hongdou had a talent for farming and could grasp all kinds of agricultural knowledge at a glance. She even thought about taking her as a disciple to pass on her agricultural knowledge.

However, after several years of teaching, it was discovered that Hongdou showed no signs of awakening her innate wisdom, and eventually the matter was left unresolved.

With two housekeepers managing the household, things were much easier. Shirley handed over all the affairs of the Jiang family, which she had managed her whole life, to the two of them, and was happy to have some leisure time to continue cultivating the land.

It has been eight years since the Shenglong era began, and it is midsummer.

The cicadas' chirping was deafening.

Jiang Tu leaned back in the bamboo chair, closed his eyes, and carefully examined "Profession 2: Spectator (To be unlocked)".

Career progress: 37.42%

He cursed inwardly for a while!

Sequence Jin Ce, are you even human?

Isn't the unlocking process for this profession a bit too slow?

At this rate, am I going to have to watch the show and go through all this trouble for another ten years or more before I can unlock it?

Over the past five years, he has watched hundreds of plays and read thousands of scripts, but his progress bar is still less than 40% complete!

He was completely lost.

The first farmer profession was unlocked after just three years of diligent work, but now, more than five years later, the progress bar is still not halfway done.

Will unlocking subsequent professions become increasingly difficult?

Or is it that "the unlocking conditions for the 'Viewer' profession are not simple at all, even more so than those for the 'Farmer' profession?"

Damn it!

Is it a bit too hasty for him to focus all his energy on this second job? Why not try other jobs instead?

But—there's only one class that can be unlocked right now, and there aren't any others yet!

Just then, Qingling, who had grown to about fourteen or fifteen years old, knocked on the door and entered, rolling up her sleeves to deliberately show off her newly developed, bulging muscles.

This kid doesn't resemble a peasant official at all, so people would believe he's an excellent practitioner of external martial arts.

Jiang Tu flicked his finger and tore off the man's sleeve.

"We saw it! Everyone in the Jiang family knows you, Qingling, are the most muscular bastard! Stop being so cocky!"

Qingling grinned and handed over the note: "Master, there is important information."

In recent years, he has taken complete control of the Insect Spirit Intelligence Network.

When he first saw the overwhelming number of insect spirits, he was a little flustered, but he quickly took over the intelligence network by relying on his instincts as an insect spirit and his senses of the insect spirits from all sides.

Whether a message is significant or not can be determined instantly with a sense of its importance. Only messages worth pursuing are given a little attention, while the rest that are not important are copied down, categorized, and released. This is considered to be well-organized.

Just as Jiang Tu was about to pick up the intelligence report for a closer look, a series of urgent sounds came from outside the door, and someone outside the courtyard rushed in to report.

"Master! Master! Something terrible has happened!"

He looked up and saw that the person entering was none other than Master Tong, the steward of the Zhou family. Master Tong had served the Zhou family for decades, and now he rushed in, his face covered in tears, catching his breath before exclaiming, "Master Jiang, Master Jiang—something terrible has happened!"

"My master may be nearing the end of his life and wishes to see you one last time!"

"What?!"

Jiang Tu abruptly stood up, his mind reeling, and forgot all about the crucial intelligence: "Prepare the carriage! To the Zhou residence!"

Now, the only people in this world who are truly close to him, and who were once very close to Ning'e, are Xue Li and Zhou Dahu.

Xue Li is now an eighth-rank official, in the prime of her life, and has plenty of lifespan left. However, Zhou the wealthy man is already over 110 years old. The lifespan of mortals is ultimately limited, and this day will eventually come.

Amidst the shock and sighs, a strange ripple suddenly surged within the depths of his consciousness, in the sequence of Jin Ce.

Hey.

Buzz

Is there another sign of a new profession emerging?!

Jiang Tu was filled with doubt and uncertainty, lost in thought.

The last time, the appearance of the "viewer | profession" stemmed from his remembrance of Ning E. He recalled the person through the play and entered the path of Taoism through emotion.

Now that Zhou the tycoon is about to die, he has somehow sensed an opportunity to unlock a new profession.

Does unlocking a new profession require experiencing a major life upheaval and emotional turmoil?

Life and death, joy and sorrow, great happiness and great sadness, the vast world of mortals—these are the daily experiences of ordinary people, and these are the true source of the evolution and birth of the professional system.
