Bu Yingshu's Mark
Chapter 799 Bu Yingshu's Mark (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
Are you taking Zhang Yu with you?
Hearing Bu Yingshu's words, the many cultivators present were once again shocked.
"Is she serious?"
Vice Pavilion Master Yang Kaitai stared intently at Bu Yingshu and Zhang Yu behind her.
He originally thought that no matter how much Bu Yingshu took care of Zhang Yu, she would gradually lose contact with Zhang Yu after the special task force ended and she left the Imperial Law Pavilion.
But unexpectedly, Bu Yingshu wasn't satisfied with just using him in the special task force; she wanted to take him out as well.
Yang Kaitai thought to himself, "Why is this happening? What is so special about Zhang Yu that makes Bu Daojun want to take this mortal away?"
Yang Kaitai, a supporter of the innate Daoist tradition, was naturally puzzled and found it difficult to accept such a thing.
If Bu Yingshu's previous actions were like seeing a stray dog on the roadside and feeding it a few times, then his current actions are about adopting the stray dog and making it a pet dog for the Immortal Clan.
Yang Kaitai viewed this as something that violated public order and good morals.
If all the immortals acted this way, and everyone indiscriminately adopted stray dogs, then every stray dog would start dreaming of currying favor with the immortals to take shortcuts. Who would still work diligently and conscientiously? Who would still get promoted honestly and properly? What order would remain within the sect? Wouldn't it become utter chaos and disorder?
"You're fine playing around with this kind of low-level stuff, but you're actually going to bring it home?"
Thinking of this, Yang Kaitai couldn't help but advise again: "Bu Daojun, please think it over."
Bu Yingshu glared at Yang Kaitai and said without backing down, "I've made up my mind, I'm definitely taking this person with me."
"To tell you the truth, besides reviewing the 'Blood Tide Essence Holy View,' I have another purpose in coming to the Imperial Law Pavilion on official business this time..."
Amidst the astonished gazes of the crowd, Bu Yingshu slowly said, "That is to find an outstanding talent from the Imperial Law Pavilion who is proficient in martial arts assessment and take him under our wing."
"I have seen Zhang Yu's performance over the past few months and I am very satisfied."
As she spoke, Bu Yingshu, amidst the envious and jealous gazes of the crowd, gave Zhang Yu a hard pat on the head and paid the fine.
"So I decided to take him to the Martial Arts Pavilion and give him a broader platform to fully showcase his talent."
Bu Yingshu said these words to leave a deep mark on Zhang Yu, so that everyone would understand that Zhang Yu had become hers.
In this way, she can also deter villains and prevent anything bad from happening during the vacuum period when she leaves the Imperial Law Pavilion and before she transfers Zhang Yu.
Upon hearing Bu Yingshu's words, Chen Xingxuan was shocked: "So, Bu Daojun came to the Imperial Law Pavilion this time to find a lower-level cultivator to take with him?"
"Why didn't you say so sooner, Bu Dao Jun!"
Chen Xingxuan felt a surge of resentment, like a stray dog that had missed its adopter, staring longingly in Bu Yingshu's direction. He quickly sent his resume over.
He also recalled the results of his several inquiries to Tianwenxing.
“Every time it’s the same old story: I can’t say this, I can’t say that. As long as it involves the immortals, it’s a violation of the relevant laws, and I can’t say anything…”
He thought to himself, "Sure enough, the shortcuts to immortality are all hidden in those illegal contents, and Tianwenxing can't find out anything about them!"
On the other side, Yuqing felt a deep sense of regret: "I could have been your dog too!"
Thinking that she had missed an opportunity to be a dog for the immortals, she regretted her decision to withdraw from the test even more. Looking at Zhang Yu, who was being paid by Bu Yingshu, Yu Qing felt even more envious and wished she could take his place.
"Why should I?" On the other side, Lu Hengzhang wanted to stand up and shout, "Zhang Yu is a member of our Imperial Law Pavilion! Don't think you can take him away just because you're a Celestial! If you're so capable, take me with you!"
But Lu Hengzhang knew that even if he shouted like that, it would be useless. Bu Daojun's prejudice against him was too deep, and it was impossible for him to take him away.
and……
Lu Hengzhang looked at Yang Kaitai, whose expression had returned to calm, and at the Pavilion Master of the Imperial Law Pavilion, who remained completely calm and showed no emotional fluctuations from beginning to end.
He thought to himself, "Will the Pavilion Master and the others really follow the Dao Lord's wishes? I'm afraid not. This might involve a struggle between different Dao lineages, and they might tear Zhang Yu to pieces."
Although it was only a probability, Lu Hengzhang still deeply hoped that his malicious speculation would come true.
Meanwhile, Zheng Meng stared blankly at Bu Daojun... at the scene of him forcibly demanding Zhang Yu from the Imperial Law Pavilion, her heart filled with mixed feelings.
Bu Yingshu looked at the private messages that kept popping up in front of her and said impatiently, "Alright, stop sending messages. I'm only taking Zhang Yu with me. The rest of you can forget about it."
After saying that, Bu Yingshu turned to look at the Pavilion Master of the Imperial Law Pavilion and said, "Pavilion Master Si, when should we upload the 'Blood Tide Essence Holy View' to the Daoist Canon? I see that the higher-ups are paying close attention to this. We should complete it as soon as possible."
So, after discussions between the two parties, Bu Yingshu led his people to the Daoist Temple that day to open the Daoist Canon connection and make the final confirmation and submission.
With the "Blood Tide Essence Holy Temple" passing the final review of the Daoist Canon, the special review of this sect-level immortal cultivation technique has been completely completed.
After finishing all this, Bu Yingshu breathed a sigh of relief, feeling as if a heavy burden had been lifted from her heart. She felt that her efforts over the past few days had not been in vain.
Then she looked at Zhang Yu beside her and said, "Xiao Yu, I'm going back to the Martial Arts Pavilion first. You stay here at the Imperial Law Pavilion and wait for my news."
"Don't worry." Bu Yingshu smiled proudly and said, "With my achievements this time, if I want to bring you over, the clansmen won't say a word."
"Once you officially become the leader of the martial arts group and are promoted to the 3rd rank, I will transfer you here and promote you one rank to the 4th rank."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Yu was deeply shaken.
Because he clearly understood that there was a qualitative difference between the fourth and third ranks within the Myriad Laws Sect.
If there is no opportunity or promotion, he might remain in the position of leader of the first group of martial arts for a hundred years without any chance of advancement.
The fourth rank not only allows them to expand their activity range to the 14th floor of Kunxu, but also grants them a Nascent Soul Certificate, enabling them to break through to the Nascent Soul realm.
Thinking of this, Zhang Yu couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "The Nascent Soul Certificate... Master Magnet and the others spent so many years in the lower realm, and in the end, they only managed to obtain it during the war."
"Over the years, countless Nascent Soul cultivators in the lower realms have been stuck at this stage."
"I never thought that I would be about to break through to the Nascent Soul stage after only a little over a year in the sect."
All of this made Zhang Yu even more impressed by the abundance of opportunities within the sect and the immense privileges afforded to the Immortal Clan.
Just then, the Immortal Slayer in Zhang Yu's mind said, "After you advance to the 4th rank and break through to the Nascent Soul realm, you will be able to go to the 14th floor to collect the legacy left by your master."
Zhang Yu nodded slightly. He was naturally very concerned about the legacy left by Fu Xiantian.
After all, according to Zhan Xian, this legacy not only contains the legacy of Fu Xiantian, but also things left behind by Ying Xintian, which are said to be of great help to the sect's cultivators.
"Brother Dao, what exactly did you leave behind?"
Thinking of Dao Qiankun and Ying Xintian, Zhang Yu recalled the agreement Ying Xintian made before leaving with the sixth level of Kunxu.
"Has the agreed time passed since Brother Dao mentioned it? But it seems that neither Brother Dao himself nor the original 6th floor of Kunxu has returned."
"Did Dao-ge's plan fail? Did he learn about the current situation in Kunxu and give up on returning? Or is there some other reason..."
While Zhang Yu was pondering this, he also used the Dharma Realm to search for news and the latest updates.
With the completion of the special task force's work, Zhang Yu, standing outside the Seeking the Way Hall, was now able to successfully connect with the external Dharma realm.
However, after searching, Zhang Yu found no information related to the sixth level of Kunxu.
Just then, Bu Yingshu suddenly came over, pressed Zhang Yu's head, and said, "Come on, let's take a picture together."
Looking at the photo of the two of you that Zhang Yu took, Bu Yingshu nodded in satisfaction and then said, "Post it on your WeChat Moments now, and remember to pin it. That way, everyone will know about our relationship."
Zhang Yu thought to himself, "It's like a dog marking its territory with urine. But Bu Yingshu's marking does have a deterrent effect, so let's just say it's like a tiger marking its territory with urine."
Bu Yingshu scrolled through Zhang Yu's Moments, and after seeing the group photo pinned to the top, she nodded in satisfaction and said, "With this photo of me here, you have an extra layer of protection in the Imperial Law Pavilion."
"I'll be going now, Xiaoyu."
"Remember this, you're mine. If I find out you've betrayed me while I'm not around..."
After kicking Zhang Yu in the butt and giving him a stern warning to prevent him from revealing their secret, Bu Yingshu flashed away, crossing space, eager to go home and boast about her performance.
Watching Bu Yingshu's disappearing figure, Zhang Yu let out a soft breath, thinking to himself, "Finally gone. I can finally relax a bit without that woman."
……
Inside the martial arts group's office, Wuxiang Zhenjun was working diligently.
Although he failed to enter the sect last year in the competition with Zhang Yu, thanks to the normalization of the sect examination and his own profound accumulation, Wuxiang Zhenjun successfully passed the sect examination this year and joined the sect.
And his choice was the same as before: the Imperial Law Pavilion!
"Imperial Law Pavilion! I've arrived!"
“Zhang Yu, although I am a year behind you, the sect is my territory. Let’s have a showdown in the Imperial Law Pavilion and see how I completely suppress you.”
Before entering the Imperial Law Pavilion, Wuxiang Zhenjun seemed to already see himself overtaking Zhang Yu, surpassing him later, being promoted earlier than Zhang Yu, and even becoming Zhang Yu's superior.
What should I say to him then?
But this sliver of hope was shattered when Wuxiang Zhenjun officially entered the Imperial Law Pavilion.
"What? Zhang Yu has already become a Level 2 Religious Affairs Officer?"
"What? He's now the acting leader of the Martial Arts Group 3, my superior? And he's going to officially become a Level 3 Sect Affairs Officer this March?"
Upon learning all this, Wuxiang Zhenjun was stunned for a long time, his mind reeling: "In just over a year, he could be promoted from a Level 1 Sect Affairs Officer to a Level 3 Sect Affairs Officer?"
"Is it really that easy to get promoted in a sect these days?"
Wuxiang Zhenjun soon realized that promotions within the sect were extremely difficult, and even basic tasks were now much more challenging.
In particular, the workload of the martial arts group far exceeded that of the past each month, forcing Wuxiang Zhenjun to work overtime at his own expense, and he could hardly save any money each month.
When Wuxiang Zhenjun learned that all of this stemmed from last year, when Zhang Yu single-handedly caused the entire martial arts group to have to increase their monthly workload, he felt even more remorseful.
"Why should I report this to the Imperial Law Pavilion?"
Fortunately, news came later that Zhang Yu had offended a high-ranking official in the special task force and would likely find it difficult to move forward in the Imperial Law Pavilion in the future.
This news gave Wuxiang Zhenjun a great boost, and he felt even more energetic when writing his reports every day.
On that very day, while Wuxiang Zhenjun was working diligently, he noticed that messages kept popping up in the work group.
He glanced around casually and noticed that everyone was talking about Zhang Yu.
Wu Xiang Zhenjun originally thought that something had happened to Zhang Yu again, such as being scolded by the higher-ups, being demoted, or even being sidelined.
But after he read through the photos with great interest, he realized that everyone was discussing a group photo that was pinned to the top of Zhang Yu's WeChat Moments.
Who is this woman?
Why did Team Leader Zhang pin this photo to the top?
Some people were puzzled, but Shen Qingyun, a senior Level 2 Clan Affairs Officer and former top auditor of Group 1, had somehow heard the inside scoop and immediately explained, "You didn't know this?"
"This is the deputy head of the Martial Arts Pavilion, a true member of the Myriad Laws Immortal Clan, the Daoist Lord Bu Ying Shu Bu."
Upon hearing these words, everyone in the martial arts group was shocked, and then patiently listened to Shen Qingyun's explanation.
Within sects, news about influential people, high-ranking officials, and backgrounds spreads the fastest.
After all, everyone wants to know who among the people around them can be offended, who cannot, whose relationships are important, and whose are not...
"Don't you know? It's been going viral outside!"
Shen Qingyun said with an admiring look, "When Team Leader Zhang was working in the special task force, he met Bu Daojun and gained his appreciation and favor."
"I heard that in order to stand up for Team Leader Zhang, Bu Daojun not only beat up Vice Minister Lu Hengzhang several times, but also confronted Vice Pavilion Master Yang Kaitai face to face, saying that he would take Team Leader Zhang to the Martial Arts Pavilion for development."
"I'm afraid that after Team Leader Zhang becomes a Level 3 Religious Affairs Officer in March, he will be promoted again."
Someone exclaimed in surprise, "Another promotion? Is it going to be a four-level promotion? That's way too fast..."
Shen Qingyun said, "What's so special about that? That's the genuine Myriad Laws Immortal Clan. People like us could be bankrupted just for getting too close to them."
"And I heard that Bu Daojun paid for Zhang Yu's fines out of his own pocket just so he could touch Zhang Yu."
Upon hearing this, the group members were once again amazed, marveling at Zhang Yu's good life of becoming a pampered dog after jumping into the immortal's den.
Someone said sourly, "I think Bu Daojun is just playing around."
Someone mocked, "Don't you want to be played?"
Someone said enviously, "With Bu Daojun favoring Team Leader Zhang so much, maybe she'll even have a chance to conceive a fairy seed in the future? That would truly be a meteoric rise to the top."
Someone refuted, "How could that be? The bloodline of the Immortal Clan is strictly controlled. Even if Team Leader Zhang finds a chance to secretly get pregnant, she will definitely be taken away to have an abortion."
In the blink of an eye, the topics discussed in the group have become increasingly off-topic and whimsical.
At the same time, Wu Xiang Zhenjun was shocked as he read these messages. He felt that Zhang Yu, who was already very tall, had become even taller in his heart, making him want to worship him.
If Zhang Yu had only performed well in martial arts learning and simulations, just like during exams, Wuxiang Zhenjun wouldn't have acted this way.
But seeing Zhang Yu's skill in clinging to someone's leg, Wuxiang Zhenjun was completely convinced.
Just then, someone shouted, "The team leader is back!"
The crowd immediately surged out and headed towards the main gate.
Zhang Yu was wearing a sect robe, with the insignia of a Level 2 sect affairs officer and acting group leader shining brightly on his head. He was surrounded by the leader and members of the Martial Arts Group 3.
Although the three group leaders held the rank of Level 3 Religious Affairs Officer, they were like deputies in front of Zhang Yu at this moment.
At this moment, Zhang Yu, who was originally looked down upon by Wuxiang Zhenjun, appeared so spirited and dignified in his eyes that he couldn't help but feel admiration.
Wu Xiang Zhenjun hurriedly stepped forward, wanting to greet Zhang Yu, but found that Shen Qingyun and the others had already walked ahead, pushing him aside.
"Team leader!"
Before Shen Qingyun and the others could say a few words, the Dharma Realm projection descended from the sky, appearing from a perspective that only Zhang Yu could see.
The one who descended the projection was Gu Qingya, the head of the review department, who, like Zhang Yu, came from the lower realm.
At this moment, Gu Qingya looked at Zhang Yu with a complicated expression and slowly said, "Is the matter of the special task force over?"
Zhang Yu nodded and sent a message: "Minister, I will catch up on the lagging progress as soon as possible and make sure there are no problems with this year's assessment."
Seeing that Zhang Yu hadn't become arrogant and domineering just because he'd latched onto Bu Yingshu, Gu Qingya nodded slightly and said, "No rush, just know what's going on in your head."
"I never expected that Bu Daojun would value you so much."
"When I advised you back then, did you already know what was going on and were just waiting to see me make a fool of myself?"
Zhang Yu explained, "After all, Bu Daojun is a member of the Myriad Laws Immortal Clan. Her thoughts are beyond my comprehension. To be honest... I wasn't sure myself at the time."
“Minister, you came to remind me at that time because you cared about me, and I have always been grateful for that.”
Gu Qingya sighed, "Work hard. Remember to keep a low profile during this time. Although you have Bu Daojun protecting you, the sect shouldn't make things difficult for you anymore. But it's better to be safe than sorry. The turmoil in the Spirit Realm has just subsided, and all the sects within the sect are making moves. The situation is currently chaotic..."
Zhang Yu nodded in understanding. He knew the importance of keeping a low profile, and he did not intend to show off until he officially became a Level 4 Clan Affairs Officer.
Meanwhile, Zhang Yu's other friends in the sect saw the photo he pinned to the top of his WeChat Moments one after another, and they all inquired about the situation from him.
Upon hearing Bu Yingshu's identity, Xinghuo Zhenjun couldn't help but sigh, "Zhang Yu and I are indeed destined to be master and disciple. Although I didn't take him as my disciple in the end when we reached the first level, but instead took Yu Xinghan as my disciple, it was he who inherited all my skills and was able to advance bravely and forge ahead."
Xinghuo Zhenjun sent a message saying: "You go ahead and do your work. When you have time, let's have a good chat and exchange experiences."
After listening to Zhang Yu's story, Yu Xinghan couldn't help but think to himself, "No... the Myriad Laws Immortal Clan? Brother, I wanted you to eat well, but I didn't expect you to eat this well."
Yu Xinghan sent a message: Brother, why don't you teach a course and share your experience?
When Zhang Yu looked at the message sent by Yu Xinghan, he discovered that the other party had also added him to an unfamiliar group called the Lower Realm Mutual Aid Association.
Seeing the familiar names in the group, Zhang Yu's heart stirred, realizing that these were all new clan affairs officers who had been admitted from the lower realm this year.
