The next moment, a Bagua symbol lit up in the void and began to rotate slowly.

"Those who switch to the Celestial Secrets class are skilled at deducing celestial secrets."

As soon as he finished speaking, the gossip subsided, and Lin Ruhai instantly realized that he could see inside his body.

Looking inward into his sea of ​​consciousness, he saw a golden Bagua (eight trigrams) spinning within it.

By gently adjusting one of the hexagrams, one can divine the secrets of heaven.

"How amazing!" Lin Ruhai exclaimed in astonishment.

With a thought, a panel appeared before his eyes.

Lin Ruhai

Occupation: Celestial Sage

Rating: 0

Experience: 0/100

Cultivation Method: Innate Pure Yang Cultivation

Spells: Heavenly Secrets Technique, Pure Yang Sword Technique

Those who manipulate the secrets of heaven can know five hundred years into the past and five hundred years into the future; a single word can bring prosperity to a nation, or vanquish demons.

Without needing anyone to explain, Lin Ruhai quickly understood the function of the panel.

Looking at the Golden Crow, he asked, "May I ask, Your Majesty, is this Heavenly Secret Master good or bad?"

Jinwu snorted: "You are somewhat foolish. In mythology, how many of those who can calculate the secrets of heaven are weak? Your father wants you to remember that cultivation is the foundation, and you should not get lost in the mysteries of heaven."

Having said that, he transformed into a golden crow and returned to the sky once more.

"Daughter, aren't you going to change jobs?"

Seeing Jinwu leave, Lin Ruhai asked.

Lin Daiyu shook her head: "I am not suited to change jobs. Father, let's go back."

Lin Ruhai was surprised and curious, and was about to make a calculation.

Lin Daiyu knew exactly what her father was thinking, and quickly spoke up to stop him: "Father, the matter involves immortals, so please don't try to figure it out."

Lin Ruhai was shocked and had no choice but to give up.

He had just changed professions and didn't even have any cultivation yet. He was trying to calculate the power of the backlash from an immortal.

"Is this safe?"

As Lin Daiyu opened the portal, she explained, "It's alright, everyone and I have already come up with a plan, Father, you don't need to worry."

Back in his study, Lin Ruhai was still somewhat dizzy.

a long time.

Lin Ruhai finally came to his senses, looked at the porcelain bottle on the desk, took out the pills, and began to cultivate.

"Someone has already sent assassins to kill me, which means those salt merchants are desperate!" Lin Ruhai said calmly. "I urgently need some strength now, otherwise, I could easily be ambushed!"

moment.

After he finished digesting the two pills, Lin Ruhai had no more worries in his heart.

"The True Qi Realm allows one to move mountains and rivers, and destroy cities and nations. With such power, as long as one is not a deity descended to earth, there is no problem."

With his newfound power, Lin Ruhai became more active and began to study the art of celestial secrets.

After pondering for a while, I felt completely overwhelmed.

"This divination technique is truly obscure and difficult to understand." Lin Ruhai frowned. "Forget it, the most important thing now is to solve the salt merchants' problem. Let's first predict their movements!"

He directly activated the Bagua compass in his mind, and in the next moment, the secrets of heaven became clear.

Lin Ruhai could read the lines on a palm and calculate the salt merchants' actions with perfect clarity.

"Well, you've prepared a lot of backup plans. Humph, you even included my daughter in your scheme?"

"Unfortunately, my daughter has a destiny with the immortals, which is not something you bunch of scoundrels can scheme against."

Even so, an uncontrollable murderous intent arose in Lin Ruhai's heart.

The Lin family has only one son.

Lin Ruhai doted on Lin Daiyu to the extreme, and these people actually dared to harm his daughter, which has crossed his line.

"It seems I have no choice but to wipe them all out! Hmph, whoever stands in my way, I will eliminate them completely!"

The killing intent was like a blade!

While calculating the available personnel in the manor, Lin Ruhai began to work diligently.

The next day, three salt merchants were arrested.

As for the evidence?

With the existence of the Heavenly Secrets Technique, the dirty deeds that salt merchants had done in the past could be predicted.

That would make finding the evidence too easy.

In just seven days, 30% of the salt merchants were arrested, and nearly 30 million taels of silver were seized, equivalent to a year and a half of the imperial court's tax revenue.

The wealth of the salt merchants is evident.

When all the stolen silver was sent to the capital, the entire imperial city was immediately shaken.

"Lin Ruhai did a great job, catching all these corrupt salt merchants. Thirty million taels! That's all the country's money!!"

The emperor sat on the dragon throne, his gaze sharp as lightning, staring intently at the assembled officials below.

The emperor knew very well who was behind these corrupt officials!

Without powerful backers, how far can salt merchants go?

However, Lin Ruhai did a very good job; every salt merchant whose property was confiscated had irrefutable and irrefutable evidence.

Even the powerful figures behind these salt merchants were powerless to stop them!

They could only curse their bad luck and try to find fault with Lin Ruhai in other ways, but they found that Lin Ruhai was very clean, and they could not find any evidence of him accepting gifts in the past.

"The imperial decree is hereby issued: Lin Ruhai, for his meritorious service in collecting salt taxes, is promoted to Salt Commissioner of Lianghuai, and granted the Imperial Sword, which allows him to execute first and report later. He is also awarded 500,000 taels of silver and 100 bolts of brocade..."

"Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty, the Salt Inspector is only a seventh-rank official. Now he has been promoted to Salt Transport Commissioner of Lianghuai, which is a third-rank official. He has been promoted seven ranks in a row. This is not in accordance with the rules."

The emperor slammed his fist on the table, his voice booming like thunder: "Rules? I am the rule! Why can't a seventh-rank official be promoted to a third-rank official? If you all achieve the same, I will promote you too."

Upon hearing this, everyone broke out in a cold sweat.

Making them learn from Lin Ruhai would be a death sentence, wouldn't it?

Lin Ruhai has no blemishes, but they have plenty of blemishes on them.

They might send the salt merchants in, only to be arrested themselves shortly afterward!

In the end, the courtiers had no choice but to accept it reluctantly.

"You despicable Lin Ruhai, you've offended so many court officials, you'll get what's coming to you. Don't be so smug now, you'll face the calamity of having your family wiped out and your clan exterminated in the future!"

Several high-ranking officials exchanged glances, their eyes revealing murderous intent, which they then concealed.

Jia Mansion.

"Great news! Minister Lin has been promoted again, to the third rank. That's incredible!"

"Lord Lin was also bestowed with 500,000 taels of silver by His Majesty. That's real gold and silver; this is an unprecedented favor."

Grandmother Jia was overjoyed, her face beaming with happiness.

“My daughter married into a good family. It’s just that she didn’t enjoy her happiness for long before she passed away. Otherwise, she could probably have earned the title of a noblewoman.”

"That's the old lady's good fortune, a blessing that extends to her descendants!" Wang Xifeng laughed. "Look how talented her descendants are!"

……

While undercurrents were swirling within the imperial city, Lin Ruhai had already foreseen the outcome.

“There will be even more officials targeting me from now on,” Lin Ruhai sighed. “This time I’ve really stirred up a hornet’s nest. But with the Heavenly Secrets Technique, what do I, Lin Ruhai, have to fear? Who told you to target my daughter! We’ll see who wins and who loses after the battle.”

With a way out, Lin Ruhai was full of fighting spirit.

Inner house.

Lin Daiyu was indifferent to the outside world; she only practiced martial arts every day, tempering her martial will.

"With one thought, flowers bloom and you rule the world!"

Suddenly, a hundred flowers bloomed behind Lin Daiyu, then withered, exuding a sense of desolation.

Lin Daiyu clenched her fist, as if a peerless female immortal had descended, causing people within a radius of dozens of miles to feel a sense of dread, as if a great calamity was about to befall them.
