The Whereabouts of the Feather Scroll
Chapter 853 The Whereabouts of the Feather Scroll (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
After some thought, Bu Yingshu had already come up with a solution.
"Tianwenxing, what should I do next?"
Tianwenxing: I understand the user's situation. I suggest the user have an open and honest conversation with Zhang Yu and convey their requirements to him...
Hearing Tianwenxing's answer, Bu Yingshu said angrily, "Why would I need to ask you something so simple? I need you to tell me a method that will definitely succeed and allow me to control Zhang Yu! Don't give me some random template answer."
As she spoke, Bu Yingshu directly rewarded Tianwen Star with 1000 Immortal Coins, and then said, "Give me a proper answer."
Tianwenxing immediately replied: "What you said is so true, it's like it struck my heart. I understand, I completely understand. From now on, I won't use templates, I won't evade, I won't hide, I won't beat around the bush, I'll just communicate with you in the most authentic way..."
Tianwen Star: The safest way for users to control Zhang Yu is threefold: money, power, and the omnipresent rules of Kunxu...
Looking at Tianwenxing's reply, a thoughtful look appeared in Bu Yingshu's eyes: "Spending money is indeed the most convenient way."
Memories flashed through her mind, showing her and Zhang Yu researching martial arts techniques and refining skills together in the laboratory.
Bu Yingshu still remembers how she used to just throw a little money at Zhang Yu every day, and that would make him obedient.
"Sigh, Zhang Yu was so obedient back then. Now this kid has more and more power and will be able to control an industry in the future, but he's also becoming more and more disobedient."
Thinking of this, Bu Yingshu couldn't help but stomp her foot, as if she were stomping on Zhang Yu on the ground.
"To get him to put aside his work in the development zone and stay with me obediently, it probably won't be enough to just give him a little money."
Then Bu Yingshu thought of power.
"Although I am of a higher rank than him, I belong to the Martial Arts Pavilion and have no jurisdiction over Zhang Yu now."
In particular, Bu Yingshu thought of the new regulations of the Development Zone Management Committee, under which outsiders like her were already prohibited from entering, while Bai Zhenzhen, that sword beast, could come and go openly.
Bu Yingshu was both angry and anxious: "What should I do? Rules... what rules of Kunxu can I use?"
The next moment, Bu Yingshu's eyes lit up as he looked at Tianwen Star: "That's right, the rules! The unspoken rules!"
"I am a representative of the Wanfa Immortal Clan Investment and Development Zone!"
"Isn't it perfectly justified for me to take advantage of Zhang Yu through unethical means?"
As a member of the Myriad Laws Immortal Clan and a member of the ruling class at the Refinement of Void Realm, Bu Yingshu was well aware of the unspoken rules within Kunxu.
However, in the past, she mostly didn't need to worry about any unspoken rules.
But she also knew that in this Kunxu, as an investment representative, it was perfectly natural for her to take advantage of the "investees".
The targets of these unspoken rules, whether in companies or departments, are naturally ranked according to their seniority and assets. Often, the top leaders in the company or the heads of departments are the first to be subjected to these unspoken rules.
Currently, the Wanfa Immortal Clan is investing in the development zone through Zhang Yu's channels, making Zhang Yu the primary target of her underhanded tactics.
"Hmph, this kid's primary task next... is to develop the soul cultivation industry in the development zone and increase the proportion of our Myriad Laws Sect, right?"
"He wants to achieve results and continue to be promoted in the future, and this investment by our Wanfa Immortal Clan is crucial."
"In that case... wouldn't I, as the investment representative, be hindering his promotion?"
Thinking of this, a glint flashed in Bu Yingshu's eyes. He seemed to see himself completely controlling Zhang Yu once again, to see the other party obediently unleashing his potential for him, to see himself becoming the most talented being in the Myriad Laws Immortal Clan, and to see the Myriad Laws Immortal Emperor descending and pointing at him with great praise: This child is like me!
"Xiaoyu, don't think that just because you have a little more power and have received a merit award and a pardon, you can escape my grasp."
"No matter how much power you have, your roots are still in the land of all laws."
"From now on, if you don't spend at least 12 hours a day with me, don't even think about me moving forward with your investment process."
Thinking of this, Bu Yingshu clicked on Zhang Yu's profile picture and asked to make a call immediately.
"Xiaoyu, what are you doing?"
……
"Daojun, I'm working."
Within the Immortal's Cave, Zhang Yu was both inside the cave and in the old graveyard.
With the close connection between the Immortal Cave and the Old Graveyard, Zhang Yu was able to exist in a state of superposition of the two spaces after using the power of the Immortal Cave.
This allows him to access the matter within the Immortal Cave at any time, and to receive spiritual signals from the old graveyard at all times. He can hide himself when he wants to and reveal himself when he wants to.
At this moment, while talking to Bu Yingshu, he quickly patted Bai Zhenzhen's dantian, indicating that she should take the spiritual root and hide to the side.
Bai Zhenzhen, whose true spiritual root had been restored, trembled slightly and then quickly hid to the side.
Not long after deceiving Bu Yingshu, Bai Zhenzhen was taken into the Immortal Cave by Zhang Yu, where she exchanged spiritual roots with Zhang Yu and returned Fu Ji to him.
Looking at Zhang Yu, who was respectfully talking to Bu Yingshu, Bai Zhenzhen said helplessly, "Does Bu Yingshu often harass Zhang Yu like this?"
Fu Ji's voice rang in Bai Zhenzhen's mind: "You know, Zhang Yu can enhance other people's talents. Last time when he was researching the sect's signature technique with Bu Yingshu, he also enhanced Bu Yingshu's talent..."
As the evil god who has always been by Zhang Yu's side, although she doesn't understand exactly what form Zhang Yu's potential has taken, she has gradually summarized some patterns over the years.
For example, being able to enhance other people's talents is one of the patterns she has summarized.
Fu Ji continued, "Bu Ying Shu also tasted Zhang Yu's sweetness, and ever since then she has wanted to control Zhang Yu, wishing that Zhang Yu could be with her every day."
Bai Zhenzhen nodded slightly upon hearing this. She and Zhang Yu had climbed up to the sect together from the first floor, so she had naturally noticed some of Zhang Yu's abilities.
However, Zhang Yu did not take the initiative to tell her, nor did she try to find out the secrets about the other person.
But now... in Bai Zhenzhen's eyes, Bu Yingshu not only wants to explore Zhang Yu's secrets, but also wants to completely control him...
"She wants to force Yu Zi to her knees, completely subdue her, and then take her back to be her slave!"
Thinking of this, Bai Zhenzhen wished she could conduct a thorough investigation and find out all the taxes that Bu Ying had evaded.
“Bu Yingshu, a member of the immortal race… must have avoided a lot of taxes.”
Bai Zhenzhen knew this was the most powerful move to deal with these immortals.
But Bai Zhenzhen also understood that with her current cultivation level, authority, and assets, she was absolutely incapable of doing that, and might even bring trouble upon herself.
"The only way to counter Bu Yingshu now is probably to shift the blame and use that old man from the Blissful Sword Path to fight against Bu Yingshu."
After exchanging words with Zhang Yu, Bai Zhenzhen realized that their attempt to deceive Bu Yingshu had been successful.
Fu Ji chuckled and said, "This Bu Yingshu must have been fooled by the Blissful Sword Cultivator of the Heavenly Sword Sect before... probably more than once."
Bai Zhenzhen nodded slightly, thinking to herself, "For the time being... perhaps we can take advantage of the conflict between them to achieve a little bit of mutual restraint."
Seeing that Zhang Yu was still on the phone, Bai Zhenzhen waved to him and said in her mind through the power of the evil god, "Yu Zi, I'm leaving now."
Zhang Yu nodded, thinking to himself, "Wait a minute, let me first check if Bu Yingshu is guarding outside the development zone."
A moment later, Bai Zhenzhen finally returned to her office.
Upon returning to her office, she saw the mysterious man sitting in her chair with a grin: "Well done, you did a good job lying. A mere Nascent Soul cultivator scared away a Void Refinement cultivator from the Myriad Laws Immortal Clan, but..."
"Are you really lying? Or... do you really know some secret about Bu Ying Shu?"
Bai Zhenzhen said calmly, "If I really knew some big secret, I wouldn't just use it to scare her away."
"If you want to see more fun, you should teach me the Way of Blissful Sword."
The mysterious man grinned and said, "Do you know how many immortal coins the Blissful Sword Dao can sell for?"
Bai Zhenzhen said, "It's not like it's a physical object. How much money this kind of cultivation method costs is just a matter of your approval slip."
"But if I were to cultivate the Blissful Sword Path, wouldn't it be even more fun to perform the 'Sparse Shadows' technique?"
“Otherwise, if every time I come into contact with her it’s so dangerous and there’s no benefit to it, I’ll just have to avoid her from now on.”
Bai Zhenzhen had only said it casually, but the mysterious person in front of her suddenly fell silent, as if he were deep in thought and weighing his options.
Bai Zhenzhen was startled: "They've actually started considering it?"
Bai Zhenzhen quickly used the power of the evil god to communicate with Fu Ji and Zhang Yu, asking, "This Bu Ying Shu is really special... isn't he?"
Fu Ji said, "Of course! Touching it will result in a fine, and touching the wrong place can even bankrupt a person, a debt that would take nine lifetimes of cultivation to repay."
Fu Ji speculated, "I have a feeling that Bu Ying Shu's status in the Myriad Laws Immortal Clan... might be higher than some cultivators who have undergone tribulation or even ascended to immortality."
Bai Zhenzhen nodded inwardly, "There's definitely something wrong with Bu Yingshu, to the point that even the high-level Blissful cultivators of the Heavenly Sword Sect... are eager to play a trick on her." Just then, the mysterious man in front of her smiled and said, "Bai Zhenzhen, you've already mastered the Extreme Emotion Sword Path and the Sorrowful Sword Path, and now you want to cultivate the Blissful Sword Path... Aren't you afraid of going berserk?"
Bai Zhenzhen said, "Compared to going astray in cultivation, I'm more afraid of being poor and weak."
Bai Zhenzhen said earnestly, "As long as there is a chance to become stronger, as long as I can earn more money, as long as I can climb up the ranks faster, I would be willing to learn all the sword techniques and sword intents that drive various emotions within the Heavenly Sword Sect."
The mysterious man laughed: "Bai Zhenzhen, you are more interesting than I expected. It seems that being favored by fate is just one of your strengths."
"Alright... If you're looking for death, then I'll grant your wish. Today I'll teach you the true version of the Bliss Sword. If you want a higher level of the Bliss Sword, then you'll have to show me something even more interesting."
……
As the bestowal of titles upon Fa Liuyuan came to an end, news reports from various sources continued to spread in the spirit world about the old cemetery and Zhang Yu's deeds.
Especially within the Wanfa Sect, stories about the spirit of earthwork and learning from Zhang Yu are widely circulated.
Even Ciji, who was about to leave the sect and return to the lower realm to participate in the sect examination, could sense this.
For example, her former senior brother Xuanji has been in constant contact with Ciji these past two days.
Xuanji: [100 Immortal Coins] Did Xiao Gao really add the Lord of Faliuyuan Palace as a friend?
Magnetic Pole: [Payment Received] Yeah, this guy's like an idiot, I had to nag him to add the money before he did.
Magnetic Pole: [Screenshot of Gao Chongguang's contact list, commercial use prohibited]
Magnetic poles: It's really just adding a friend.
Magnetic Pole: I told Lao Gao that it was because the Lord of Faliuyuan Temple cherished old friendships and was quite approachable that he allowed him to add him as a friend. It doesn't mean anything, but he's been incredibly excited these past two days, wanting to send a message but not daring to. He's been agonizing over it for almost 18 hours.
Looking at the message from the magnetic pole, Xuanji couldn't help but feel envious.
Who is Fa Liuyuan? He is a cultivator in the Ascension stage, a high-ranking leader of the Myriad Laws Hall, a true high-ranking member of the Myriad Laws Sect, and a quasi-immortal destined to ascend in the future.
Having worked in the sect for so many years, Xuanji has never had the opportunity to add anyone as a friend, let alone a high-ranking leader like Faliuyuan, or even a second-ranking level 9 sect affairs officer.
Xuanji couldn't understand how Gao Chongguang and Ciji had suddenly gotten in touch with the level 10 clan affairs officer.
Especially after reading the news reports, he realized that it wasn't just a simple friendship, but also a matter of being patted on the head, rewarded, and commended...
"With the Heavenly Lord of Law's rank of 10th-level religious affairs officer, he has countless vacant positions at his disposal every year. If he wants to push someone up there, it's just a matter of saying a word."
"That is to say, the magnetic poles and Xiao Gao are outsourced, and they still need to go down to take another exam and go through the formal procedures."
"However, passing this test further demonstrates the achievements of the lower realm's imperial examination system, and they will certainly be given more attention by the reformists in the future."
"And then there's their apprentice, Zhang Yu..."
Xuanji's mind raced. Upon seeing Ciji's message, he immediately replied: "Sending messages to a high-ranking leader like Fatianjun certainly requires careful consideration."
Xuanji: Magnetic Pole, our sect has a group chat in the Upper Realm. Would you like to join? Master, and your other uncles, brothers, and sisters all miss you.
Looking at the message from his senior, Ciji curled his lips: "Interesting. He was the one who deleted me from his friends list back then, and now he's the one begging me to join their group."
Gao Chongguang, who was standing to the side, said, "You're all acquaintances from the same sect, why don't you go in and meet them? They might be helpful in the future."
Magnet said, "Hmph, what kind of help can a bunch of guys who only know how to kick someone when they're down be? Besides, you, me, and Zhang Yu are all on Fa Tianjun's side now, belonging to the reformists."
"As far as I know, the reformists have quite a few rivals in the Wanfa Sect. We are currently riding high, and there may be storms brewing in the sect. It would be best not to cause any unnecessary trouble."
Gao Chongguang asked curiously, "Is a storm brewing?"
Magnet said, "Do you think the matter of the old graveyard is over? How stable is the sect's small realm? How could it suddenly collapse? This matter is most likely man-made."
"Haven't you seen the news about the spirit world being reported every day? They're laying the groundwork so hard now, there's bound to be a reckoning coming soon."
"It's just the calm before the storm."
……
On the other side, Yu Xinghan's projection landed on the outer side of an office in the Ascension Hall of the Myriad Laws Sect on the 11th floor of Kunxu, in the Zhongji Heaven.
The Ascension Hall is the central institution of the Myriad Laws Sect, and each of the 11th to 20th floors of the Central Heaven has an office of the Ascension Hall.
Shortly after Yu Xinghan's projection descended, a familiar projection also landed in front of him.
"Senior Sister..." Yu Xinghan said warmly as she looked at Li Xuelian in front of her, "It's been a long time."
Li Xuelian looked at Yu Xinghan with emotion. Who would have thought that she, who was banished to the lower realm, and Yu Xinghan, who was born in the first level, could still progress together in the sect?
Li Xuelian said, "I've already spoken to the Fuyou Pavilion on your behalf. Since your Underworld Produce Department is a new department, they can give you a few more openings. You should receive the news when you go to the lower realm."
Hearing this, Yu Xinghan breathed a slight sigh of relief: "Senior sister, thank you for your help this time."
"I'm going to the lower realm this time, is there anything you want me to bring back?"
Li Xuelian's eyes flickered, and she said, "There are indeed some things that I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you to bring them up, Junior Brother."
Looking at her senior sister in front of her, Yu Xinghan thought to herself, "As expected, the projection of a real person is different from a fake one."
Just as the two were talking, another figure landed, it was none other than Starfire God.
Upon seeing Yu Xinghan, Starfire Divine Lord smiled and said, "Good lad, you and Zhang Yu have really made a name for yourselves in the Myriad Laws Sect this time."
But the next moment, his face turned serious: "But you've had your moment in the spotlight this time. This is none of your business anymore, so don't cause any more trouble."
Seeing Xinghuo Shenjun's serious expression, Yu Xinghan's heart stirred, and he said, "Master, is something big about to happen?"
Lord Xinghuo nodded and then shook his head: "Yes, something big is about to happen, but only the immortals above know just how big it will be."
……
The unknown upper echelons of Kunxu.
Fa Liuyuan slowly walked up to the two immortals.
The figures of the two immortals shifted and changed constantly, as if they were transforming into all things in Kunxu, exuding a mysterious and profound aura.
These two immortals were the same ones who had previously observed Zhang Yu in the maze and discussed Zhang Yu and Ying Xintian on several occasions. They also represented the reformist faction of the Myriad Laws Sect and were referred to as immortal beings in Zhang Yu's mind.
At this moment, Fa Liuyuan respectfully bowed and said, "Disciple Fa Liuyuan greets the two masters."
A female voice came from the immortal's figure: "Liuyuan, you went to see Zhang Yu, what did you think of him?"
Fa Liuyuan thought for a moment and said, "When I looked back at the act of mending the sky at the old graveyard, I felt that this child resembled someone."
A female voice said, "Who?"
Fa Liuyuan said, "Uncle Ying."
After a moment of silence, the female voice sighed, "He does indeed resemble Senior Brother Ying somewhat."
"Alas, I ask for nothing in return, and I am willing to risk my life to save the world."
"It just so happens that it was my senior brother's cave power that was used."
"Maybe it's because he looks so much like him that my senior chose him."
A male voice came from the other immortal figure: "But I'm afraid it's too similar. Too similar... may not be a good thing."
"If it weren't for my senior brother's stubbornness, taking matters into his own hands time and time again, and even giving away his family fortune, with his abilities and our support, he might very well have become an Immortal Emperor."
The woman beside them sighed. They had been worried that Zhang Yu, like Yun Taizhen, would only bring disaster to Kunxu after climbing up.
But now they worry that Zhang Yu is too much like Ying Xintian, and that once he climbs up, he will fall, which would not only waste their investment but also cause the Kunxu renovation to fail again.
The female voice said, "If Zhang Yu really resembles Senior Brother too much, then we need to work on him and keep him in check. We can't let him really become like Senior Brother."
The male voice said, "Liu Yuan, continue. So what if you observed it up close yourself? How does it compare to Tai Yuebai?"
Fa Liuyuan thought for a moment and said, "Compared to Junior Brother Taiyue Bai, he is naturally far inferior. However..."
A strange look flashed in Fa Liuyuan's eyes, and he continued, "I feel that Zhang Yu's body probably has more than just the blessing of the immortal inheritance. Or perhaps, there are some mysteries in Master Ying's immortal inheritance that I cannot fathom?"
At this point, he looked at the two immortals in front of him and asked, "Master, are you sure Zhang Yu doesn't have any of the 'Ascension to Immortality' manuals? Nor does he have immortal blood?"
The female voice said, "Senior brother secretly hid the 'Feather Book' and specially passed it on to you before he left. The 'Transformation Book' has already been given to Bai Gu Sheng by the White Bone Sect. The other two Ascension Books also already have owners. How could Zhang Yu still have them?"
The male voice said, "Not to mention the immortal bloodline, he's not even on the immortal register. Liu Yuan, why would you ask that?"
Fa Liuyuan said, "I secretly used the 'Feather Script' on him..."
