Zhu Tian: Starting from the World of Zongwu

Of course, unless you are in a desperate situation, I don’t recommend you to activate that string of numbers, otherwise the consequences will be serious!

The spirit of the Fortune Compass constantly needs to process information from all over the empire. Using trivial matters to summon its will will inevitably lead to its karmic backlash.

Song Xuan held the compass in his hand, and with a thought, a drop of blood sank into it. Soon, all kinds of information about the compass appeared in his mind.

At the same time, words began to appear on the compass.

Name: Song Xuan

Position: Deputy Chief of the Imperial City's Southern Region, stationed in Suzhou and Hangzhou Prefectures.

Merit value: 0

"Reminder: If your merit value remains negative for a long time, your position will be adjusted, and the blessing of luck you receive will weaken year by year."

Tasks: There are optional tasks to accept.

Final number: 31415926..... (Tip: Please use this number with caution!)

...

Song Xuan felt that he had broadened his horizons today.

If it weren't for Zhou Yang's statement that everyone in the Imperial City had one of these compasses, he would have suspected that he had obtained the system.

Is the Qiyun Dynasty's national treasure so powerful?

No matter how you look at it, the so-called fortune compass looks like a large computer central processor, while the compass that everyone in their Imperial City Division has is a terminal device for collecting and sending information.

Song Xuan took a deep breath and felt a little excited inside.

This is the Tao, which encompasses everything and can bring people unknown surprises at all times.

After a brief silence, Song Xuan spoke, "Do other dynasties also have national treasures like the Fortune Compass?"

Zhou Yang nodded. "Of course. Otherwise, without the Qiyun artifact to suppress the national destiny, how can we establish the Qiyun Dynasty?"

He lowered his voice and continued, “There are some secrets that only we in the Imperial City Division know.

The seven great artifacts of destiny led to the emergence of seven dynasties of destiny in the world of all spirits. It is said that even the immortals and gods in the upper realms are jealous of this thing. Many years ago, many immortals and gods sent down their projections to compete for it.

But in the end, they discovered that these divine artifacts of luck could not be taken to the upper realm. As a last resort, the immortals and gods established their own sects and supported a certain faction to establish an empire and gather incense and faith.

Song Xuan nodded silently. From the names of these seven dynasties of great fortune, it can be seen which immortal and god-level beings are supporting them.

"The position has been handed over. So, Brother Song, do you plan to work in Hangzhou or go to Jiangcheng and the other two counties to take charge?"

Song Xuan glanced at Zhou Yang and asked, "Where does the captain want me to go?"

"I naturally hope that you will stay at Qianhu Suo.

The situation in Jiangcheng and the two counties is utterly rotten, and it's simply not something that one or two experts can sort out. Right now, I'm thinking, "It's better to have less trouble than more," and just live a peaceful and stable life. Once I break through the Spirit Severing Stage, I'll find a way to transfer.

There is basically no room for advancement here!"

Song Xuan smiled and said, "In the past, I would have fully agreed with your idea, sir.

But you also know my situation. As an elder of the Hunyuan Sect, if I just lay down without any achievements, it would be a small loss for me, but the sect cannot afford to lose face!"

Song Xuan hesitated for a moment, then added, "Tell me the truth, how powerful are the demons in Jiangcheng and Jianghe counties? Are there any at the Mahayana stage?"

He stared at Zhou Yang, observing every little expression on his face.

As long as he heard the words "Mahayana stage" from the other party, he would turn around and leave without saying a word. At most, he would give up the dynasty's fortune rather than take the risk.

But if there is no old monster in the Mahayana stage, then this matter can still be done.

With his current strength, he can only protect himself from those who are in the fusion stage, and he cannot do anything to those who are in the fusion stage.

But it doesn’t matter, he can’t do anything about it, but he has someone behind him!

The supreme elder Li Hanshu is still eagerly hoping that they can gain a foothold in the Imperial City Division!

I think he wouldn't mind stepping up when necessary to stand up for him and deal with those clueless guys!

Chapter 609: Accept the mission and escort Ning Caichen

What is the most important thing in officialdom?

Two o'clock.

Will stand in line,

Have a backer!

And these two points are what Song Xuan is good at.

In the early stage, he chose a side to find a backer, and in the later stage, others chose his side and regarded him as a backer!

The main point is to survive when the wind is against you and to ride the waves when the wind is with you!

Faced with Song Xuan's question, Zhou Yang's expression became a little strange.

"Brother, don't you think too highly of our Suzhou and Hangzhou Prefecture?"

"Jiangcheng and Jianghe counties are indeed the treasure lands of evil cultivators and demon cultivators, but they also need to be divided into groups. What kind of existence is a Mahayana cultivator? An invincible figure who is about to transcend the tribulation and become an immortal, how could he stay in such a small place?

Those beings are busy preparing for the tribulation, and unless something happens that affects the tribulation, they won't show up at all!"

Song Xuan stared at him, and his martial arts soul deduced for a while. After confirming that the other party was not lying, the smile on his face became more intense.

"In other words, without the Mahayana stage, the strongest person in the two counties of Jiangcheng is a powerful person in the Fusion Realm?"

Zhou Yang shook his head, "I'm not sure about that."

“Due to the environment in Jiangcheng and the other two counties, the evil spirits are dense. For cultivators who follow the evil and demonic paths, it is a precious place for condensing the fruits of the Tao.

But for the demon cultivators at the Fusion Realm who have already condensed Dao Fruit, it is unknown whether the evil demon energy there will still have any effect. "

He said in a deep voice: "I estimate that the evil demons in the two counties of Jiangcheng should have a powerful person in the fusion realm as their backer, but it is unlikely that the powerful person is permanently stationed in the two counties of Jiangcheng.

Even so, there are many powerful evil cultivators who want to condense the Dao Fruit, and there are quite a few old demons in the Spiritual Severing Stage. "

He subconsciously glanced at Song Qian and said with some concern: "I know that Master Song and his men have extraordinary backgrounds and are quite powerful, but to be honest, compared to the demonic forces in those two counties, they are still far behind."

"You talk too much!"

Victoria Song snorted coldly, "Whatever my brother asks you, you answer it. Whether there is a gap in power or not, we can judge it ourselves. We don't need you to draw conclusions for us!"

Zhou Yang smiled awkwardly, feeling that these people were just like the previous deputy captains, all of whom were arrogant because of their backgrounds. They would not face the reality unless they fought each other in Jiangcheng and the two counties and got beaten to a pulp!

Song Xuan smiled slightly, waved at Song Qian, and then looked at Zhou Yang, "Has the reception mission for the thousand households been completed?"

Zhou Yang looked down at the compass in his hand, and saw the words "Task Completed" appear in the task column, and his expression immediately looked much better.

"Everything that needed to be handed over has been completed. The Fortune Compass has determined that the mission is complete. Ten merit points have been obtained."

He smiled and explained, "Although these ten merit points may not seem like much, they can significantly improve my understanding within ten days. In the Imperial City Division, merit points are the foundation of everything."

Song Xuan nodded thoughtfully and looked at his identity compass.

There had been a hint on the compass before that he had a task to accept, but he hadn't had time to check it just now. Now he used his mind to investigate.

Available mission: Escort!

Mission introduction: The newly crowned number one scholar Ning Caichen is about to return home to pay homage to his ancestors. He will pass through Jiangcheng County and needs the Imperial City Department to send people to escort him.

Reward for completing the mission: one thousand merit points.

Note: This mission is somewhat dangerous and can be undertaken by multiple people. Only those who have reached the Return to Void Stage or above can take it.

Song Xuan regained his composure, his eyes flickering slightly.

It was Ning Caichen again. This was the second time he saw this name since he came to the World of All Spirits.

Could it be that the plot of A Chinese Ghost Story takes place in Jiangcheng County?

However, the Ning Caichen here is not a weak scholar who is unable to even tie a chicken, but a newly crowned top scholar who enjoys the good fortune of the dynasty and is even very likely to practice Confucianism.

Would such a Ning Caichen be seduced by a female ghost and end up with an unfinished love story between a human and a ghost?

Song Xuan didn't know either, but he was already starting to feel anticipation in his heart.

After a moment's hesitation, he decided to accept the task.

The two counties of Jiangcheng, as being under his jurisdiction, will have to be rectified sooner or later. It is just right that he can use this task to see how deep the water in Jiangcheng County is!

"I've received a mission to escort the newly crowned number one scholar back to his hometown to worship his ancestors. Have you guys received it?"

Yao Yue nodded, "Husband, I received it too!"

Victoria Song hummed twice, "Brother, I saw it too!"

Song Xuan looked at Wan Jianyi, and old man Wan nodded slightly.

Zhou Yang, on the other hand, was so displeased when he heard this that he quickly advised, “This mission has been posted on the compass for a while now.

But from the Imperial City Office in the Tiannan Region to the Thousand Households Office in Suzhou and Hangzhou Prefecture, no one accepted it."

He continued, "No one is a fool. Even the masters of the Tiannan Domain Imperial City Division are unwilling to accept this mission. The danger is not just what is described on the compass.

A thousand merit points is not worth crossing Jiangcheng County!"

Wan Jianyi spoke at this time, "Captain Zhou, aren't you exaggerating a bit?

Ning Caichen is the new number one scholar. I don't think those evil cultivators in Jiangcheng County have the guts to touch a new number one scholar. You know, this would be a slap in the face of the Song Dynasty, and the consequences are not something they can bear!"

He pointed at the two centurions, Zhang Long and Zuo Jingzhong, and said, "Besides, these two centurions have been staying in Jiangcheng and the two counties for many years. Haven't they encountered any danger?"

"This is different!"

Zhou Yang explained anxiously, "The reason the two centurions weren't killed is because they weren't worth the evil cultivators' efforts to deal with. The benefits weren't enough to make the evil demons risk angering the higher-ups of the Imperial City Division."

"But Ning Caichen is different!"

"He is the newly crowned number one scholar. His imperial luck is like a beacon in the dark night, and will inevitably attract the attention of countless evil cultivators. Especially his righteous aura, which is like a tonic in the eyes of evil demons."

Zhou Yang said seriously, "Don't doubt the courage of the evil demons. In order to condense the Dao Fruit and break through the Fusion Realm, they would dare to kill even a prince, let alone a new champion.

When it comes to spiritual practice and their future, anything is possible!

These people have no concept of family and country. They run away when they get into trouble. At worst, they will just change the dynasty and hide away.

Between being wanted by the Dao Song Dynasty and having the opportunity to become a powerful fusion realm master, I believe that many evil cultivators will take the risk and choose the latter! "

Song Xuan didn't care much at first, but after listening to Zhou Yang's explanation, his eyes suddenly lit up.

"What Qian Hu is saying is that as long as Ning Caichen sets foot in Jiangcheng County, many of the evil cultivators hiding in the mountains and swamps will emerge?"

"That's the situation!"

Zhou Yang swallowed and his heart skipped a beat.

No, Brother Song, what do you mean by that eager expression?

Am I not clear enough?

When the time comes, hundreds of demons and monsters will appear. Can you withstand it?

Chapter 610 Are you Ning Caichen?

Suzhou and Hangzhou Prefecture, the prefectural government office.

From a courtyard, bursts of reading sounds were heard.

Ning Caichen was dressed in a long white gown, with an upright posture and a touch of unrestrainedness in his elegant temperament.

He has a handsome face and long black hair tied up with a jade hairpin, looking elegant.

At this moment, he was holding a book in his hand, the pages were gently turning in the breeze. While flipping through the book, he was reading aloud softly. His eyes were as bright as stars, deep and fiery, revealing his thirst for knowledge and curiosity about the world.

Not far away, a servant in green muttered dissatisfiedly, "Sir, we have been in Hangzhou for half a month, and the Imperial City Bureau has been asking us to wait for news. How long do we have to wait?

If they don't send anyone to escort us, do we have to stay here forever?

The emperor only gave you two months of leave to go back to your hometown to worship your ancestors, and in the blink of an eye, half of it has already passed!"

Ning Caichen closed the book, his eyes dim, and he sighed softly, "Wait a little longer, if it really doesn't work, we can only take a detour.

However, if we take a detour, firstly, it will waste time, and secondly, our financial resources may not be able to support the cost of the subsequent teleportation array."

The territory of the Daosong Dynasty was too large. He asked for leave from the imperial capital to return to his hometown to worship his ancestors. He took eight teleportation arrays before arriving at the territory of Suzhou and Hangzhou Prefecture.

Next, just pass through Jiangcheng County to reach his former residence, Xiangtan Prefecture.
